Paolo Di Canio praised Inter player Djed Spence during Sky Sport Italia’s Sunday night show after Spence assisted in Inter’s 2-0 Serie A win over Como on Sunday.
Spence’s start at Inter
Football Italia reported that Spence missed Inter’s first few games of the season and worked separately at the club after completing a €35m transfer from Tottenham in August.
Football Italia reported that Spence received consistent playing time in recent weeks.
Inter’s recent results
Football Italia reported that Inter beat Feyenoord 3-0 in the Champions League and beat Como 2-0 in Serie A on Sunday, with Spence providing an assist.
Inter were second in the table, one point below leaders Lazio, after beating Como. Inter had scored 28 goals in 11 league games and conceded 13.
Di Canio’s praise
Di Canio, a former Juventus, Lazio, Milan and West Ham striker, said via FcInter1908: “He can play blindfolded in Italy. This is a player who started at the World Cup with the third-best national team in the world. We’re not talking about just anyone,” Di Canio said via FcInter1908.
Assessment of Spence’s technique
Di Canio, a former Juventus, Lazio, Milan and West Ham striker, praised the Englishman during Sky Sport Italia’s Sunday night show: “He’s got an incredible left foot and incredible technique. He delivered a Premier League-quality assist. A driven ball; either you score an own goal or your teammate scores. But he also has the technical ability when playing out from the back. Sometimes he switches off because that’s just the way he is, but if he gets rid of that flaw, it’ll be much easier for him to play as a wing-back, given his athleticism, quality, and technique.”
