Hugo Campagnaro (CB- Inter)
Inter are off to a flier this time around in the Serie A. They seem to be back to where they belong after their horror show of a season last time around and that has been made largely possible due to their water tight defense headed by a certain Hugo Campagnaro.
The 33-year-old former Napoli defender has led Inter to a promising start to this year’s campaign which has seen the Nerrazzuri collect 14 points from a possible 18 so far. The Argentine’s presence seems to have added a touch of steel to a defense that conceded 57 goals in the last Serie A campaign. This time around Inter have only let in 4 in 630 minutes of competitive football which goes a long way to bring some much needed stability to a club which has been on a roller coaster of sorts for the last few years.
He has also drawn praise from legendary Inter defender Beppe Bergomi; “The Argentine has given security to everyone. He understands how to play in a Walter Mazzarri defence. He’s a perfect element for this team.” remarked 1982 World Cup winner.
