“Goals Not Just For Star Duo” – Nerazzurri Youngsters Step Up In Attack For Chivu | OneFootball

Inter have shown in Serie A that goals are not only the property of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

Under Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri are beginning to see contributions across the squad, with young strikers Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny already stepping up.

This season’s early matches highlight a clear difference from last year.

Then, the attack relied heavily on the established “Thu-La” partnership.

Now, Chivu has placed faith in youth.

Chivu Options Grow At Inter Past Thuram & Lautaro

Bonny scored on his first chance, while Esposito netted in pre-season and struck his first Serie A goal against Cagliari.

Both are showing that Inter’s future in attack is already forming.

La Gazzetta dello Sport notes in today’s edition, via FCInter1908, that Inter have eight different scorers already in Serie A.

This depth underlines Chivu’s ability to rotate and still find results.

While Thuram remains sidelined through injury, Bonny will start with Lautaro.

Esposito will again look to make an impact off the bench.

For Chivu, the ability to rely on more than just the star duo is key to competing across all fronts.
