Football World Cup semi-finals against River Plate, when Pio Esposito sent the ball into the net and won the first goal of the Inter Milan first team's official match, Meazza Stadium was in full swing. This goal worth a thousand gold not only helped the team advance to the finals, but also completely changed the fate of the young forward.

Core Event: Staying in the team and value

Multiple teams are chasing, and the coach keeps people: Many Serie A clubs have invited Pio, but head coach Ziwo clearly hopes that he will stay in the team and become an important member of the first team in the new season.

The key to strengthening the front line: The problem of insufficient efficiency of Inter Milan's substitute striker was highlighted last season, and Pio's rise was regarded as a targeted solution. He will be the fourth striker, learning from Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Toulam and sharing the pressure.

Significant economic effect: Pio's outbreak allowed Inter Milan management to withdraw from the competition for high-priced strikers such as Hoylen and Jonathan David. Comprehensive transfer fees, signature fees and salary costs are expected to save the club at least 50 million euros. The Club World Cup itself has brought Inter Milan 32 million euros in the event prize.

Player traits: New Vieri?

Body and Technical Template: Pio, who is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 76 kg, has the physique of a strong center, is keen on physical confrontation and unball pressing, and has both strength and angle shots.

All-round attacker: It can not only suppress the central defender as a fulcrum in the penalty area, but also play a role away from the penalty area. During his loan spell against Spezia last season, he scored 19 goals in 40 games, including 7 headers, 3 counter-foot goals and 1 direct free kick, showing a comprehensive scoring method.

Spiritual Attribute Bonus: Shows fighting spirit and fighting spirit that are no less than Lautaro Martinez in the game, actively participate in the unball pressing, quick defense and side-pulling response. In the past two seasons, he has won the honors of the U20 World Cup runner-up, the U19 European Cup champion and the Serie B Golden Boot, showing a winner's temperament beyond his age.

Future picture: Rotation and Growth

Clear role positioning: Pio will be positioned as the team's "fourth forward" in the new season. Considering Tulam's possible rest needs and the intensive schedule of multi-line combat, his playing time is realistic.

The coaching opportunities: Zivo's ability to cultivate young players during his coaching in Inter Milan and Parma has been widely recognized. Growing up under Zivo is a key positive factor for Pio's continuous progress.

Team tactical adaptation: Its playing style that combines the characteristics of traditional center and modern forwards provides Inter Milan with more diverse tactical choices, enhancing the thickness of the front line and flexibility in dealing with different opponents.

Pio's emergence not only injected urgently needed vitality and depth into Inter Milan's forward line, but also transformed into a real financial space under the club's smart operating strategy. When this young center with the "Vieri shadow" grows steadily under the coaching of Zivo, Inter Milan's competitiveness on multiple fronts in the new season undoubtedly adds an expected weight. The future belongs to those who are ready, and Pio and Inter Milan are all ready.
