"He's a great footballer. If he stays healthy, he will have a really great career. At the age of 17, I already see what a good player for the future needs. He could be not only the future of this club, but also that of Italian football with the national team."
"He is making great progress. He's a very clean player, technically, and as an eight or a 10, he sees things on the pitch at the age of 17 that others don't see at the age of 30."
Samuele Inacio, a 17-year-old midfielder from Atalanta's youth academy, made his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Dortmund in a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munich, entering as a substitute with 15 minutes remaining. Despite the defeat, Inacio impressed in limited action, winning two of three duels and gaining possession three times. Head coach Niko Kovac expressed strong confidence in the teenager's potential, highlighting his technical ability, tactical awareness, and vision on the pitch. Kovac believes Inacio could become a cornerstone player for both Dortmund and the Italian national team if he remains healthy, noting his exceptional maturity and understanding of the game at such a young age.
