Official news, Thoma Zanetti has officially signed with Internazionale, he is the son of Javier Zanetti.

The midfielder, born in 2012, will join Inter's newly formed U15 team. A few weeks ago, "La Gazzetta dello Sport" introduced him like this: "He belongs to the Mkhitaryan type – a number ten player entrusted with midfield responsibilities: good footwork, always keeps his head up, elegance seemingly inherited from his father, excellent running ability, active tackling, and very good off-the-ball movement. His future seems destined to be a central midfielder, but this season Polidori placed him in a double pivot position, 'I gave him space to carry the ball forward freely.' Therefore, he is also an excellent attacking midfielder. 'He always gets into the box at the right time and stays alert in front of goal.' Speaking of goals, he has scored 27 goals this season, saying he has a 'goal addiction' might even be an understatement.

"And last year in the youth team, he scored even more goals, but his most outstanding quality is another one." In one word, it's his mind: "Because he has extremely high cognitive abilities. Thinks fast, executes fast, and his speed is quite remarkable for his age. All of this compensates for his not yet fully developed physique." Because of this, Thoma Zanetti is a typical late developer – players who have to compete against early-developing children. "But even so, he never backs down, I see him daring to compete against children who have already developed, without fear. In such moments, I think he shows an Argentine 'fighting spirit'." Once he grows taller and gains weight, his value will need to be re-evaluated. Because at present, Thoma's growth trajectory is roughly the same as Javier Zanetti's when he was young. 'Like father, like son'...", "La Gazzetta dello Sport" concluded.
