Sebastiano Esposito and Froncisco Pio Esposito are participating in the Club World Cup with Inter, and their big brother Salvatore Esposito is a midfielder and currently plays for Serie B. Spezia. He was interviewed by Sky Sports.
Froncisco Pio Esposito scored his first goal with Inter Milan in the Club World Cup
Tonight we felt an indescribable emotion, Pio's goal made me proud, and it was always a pleasure to watch the game video again. We all maintain close contact and we are a united family. We rarely talk about football, but on days like this, I think it's normal to congratulate them. As a big brother, I always take responsibility and I advise them when they make mistakes.
You three brothers have all become professional players, what's the secret?
I don't think there is any secret, it's just that parents let us make mistakes freely on the court and gave us the right education off the court. Fortunately, there is a clearing outside my house where we can play all day. My advice to young people is to have fun.
Your emotions are hard to describe now
When we were kids, we would have Pio as goalkeeper, and now he is wearing Inter jerseys and playing with Lautaro. It's really hard to describe my emotions, we never thought that something like this would happen.
Did you expect Pio to make such rapid progress?
In the past two years, I played with Pio at Spezia, and he was still adapting in the first season, and last season he had a superman performance, and he had the ability to change the balance of the game. He always hopes to make progress and never meets the status quo. These are his two biggest advantages. Now that he is mature enough to enter the locker room of a high-level team, he is ready, he has the physical and technical qualities that are rare in Italy.
Is Pio's characteristics similar to Tony?
In my opinion, he is more like Dzeko. This is an important comparison, but it has this characteristic.
Would you suggest him stay at Inter Milan next season?
I think he has to enjoy the moment and follow his feelings. The club hopes that he will be better and will make the right choice, and there is respect and feelings between him and coach Zivo.
