Anyone who sees him immediately knows: Federico Dimarco lives Inter Milan. He has made his way into the club he cheered for as a child, but also into Italy’s national team. This Sunday against SSC Naples, the left winger has a special reason to party.
If you were looking for an indicator of the Italians’ anemic exit from the European Championships, Federico Dimarco’s expression was the best place to start. While the Swiss rascals were celebrating in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, he stared into space. It all started with his confused throw-in against Albania, which the opponent gratefully accepted after 22 seconds for the fastest goal in European Championship history. He was ultimately missing from the round of 16 due to injury. Arrivederci. “I can’t find the words,” he stammered at the end of June, visibly shaken. He always gives his all, whether with the Squadra Azzurra or Inter.
