Facchetti asks Inter to ‘wait for Calhanoglu’
Gianfelice Facchetti, son of Inter legend Giacinto, has urged Nerazzurri fans to ‘wait’ for Hakan Calhanoglu to deliver on his potential.
The Turkey international left Milan as a free agent and went across the city to their bitter rivals Inter.
After a strong opening game, Calhanoglu has gradually fallen by the wayside with performances that verged on the anonymous.
“I think there were a lot of expectations and he made a courageous step by refusing to renew with Milan and going to Inter,” Facchetti told Tuttomercatoweb.
“Maybe he needs to get settled in a bit more, but I don’t think he’s been totally lacking. I’d give him time and not get distracted by rumours.”
Inter are the reigning Serie A title holders and currently face a battle with Napoli and Milan at the top.
“It’s too early to say what the Scudetto race will be like, as Napoli are certainly strong and started well, while Juve have a good squad and Jose Mourinho can do wonders at Roma.”
