It's the first ever in Inter history that we signed an Asian player for the first team. Nagatomo is his name, and he's not lacking in anything compared to all the sturdy defenders we have previously. With Samuel and Cordoba out for injury, he's the favourite pick to fill in the last line of defence.
What's so great about this fella? One might say there's nothing extraordinary compared to other players who made it into big teams. He's only 5' 7'', not a very good feature for a defender. Nevertheless, he makes up for it with speed and stamina. Plus the agility and techniques developed over the years, he's almost as good as Messi! (okay that's exaggarating).
After only played for several games, Nagatomo scored his first goal on the soil of Italy in the match against Genoa. There's nothing special to the goal, no fancy skills or movements nor was it a long shot etc. But it was the first to many. The first goal of plenty other from Nagatomo. The first goal by an Asian playing for Inter. It could also mark a breakthrough and the window to many possibilities in the future years.
Congratulations Inter. Keep it up and we'll definitely land the title at the end of the season! Forza!
