23 million euros. Here is the sum paid by Inter Milan on July 5 to secure the services of Ange-Yoan Bonny. “ The Frenchman born in 2003 definitely arrives from Parma Calcio. A very fast and powerful attacker, with exceptional physique and mobility, Bonny is a collective center forward, an offensive playmaker capable of creating danger for his opponents thanks to his great technique. Twenty-sixth Frenchman in the history of Inter, Ange-Yoan reunites with Cristian Chivu, his coach at Parma last season, under the colors blue and black. Thus begins a new chapter in Ange-Yoan Bonny’s dream: a dream which today is colored black and blue », We could read in the internal press release. Unknown to the general public in France, the former Parma striker finally quickly justified the Nerazzurri’s investment.
Despite the presence of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez on the front of the domestic attack, the player who passed through Châteauroux sublimates, today, every minute given by his coach, Christian Chivu. Sunday evening, during the 11th day of Serie A, the native of Aubervilliers stood out (again) during his team’s victory (2-0) against Udinese. As a surface fox, the 1.89 m right-hander took advantage of a powerful cross from Federico Dimarco to double the lead (62nd) and allow the Milanese team to regain control of Serie A. A new performance of choice for the one who has continued to impress various observers since the start of the season. Author of 4 goals and 5 assists in 15 matches in all competitions (514 minutes of play played), Inter’s number 14 perfectly assumes this role of luxury joker.
Inter hold their new offensive jewel
For proof? His fantastic match against Cremonese, where he provided 3 assists and scored a goal. “He is always at the service of the collective, he goes through the stages. He’s a big guy, not at all the prototype center forward that I initially liked. And finally, in the gym, he is very technically gifted, very surprising. Right foot, left foot, contact surfaces: he was very comfortable”recently confided Landry Chauvin, his former coach with the French U19 team, seduced by the qualities and work ethic of the Franco-Ivorian. With her atypical profile and her extraordinary technique, Bonny is finally getting everyone to agree.
“I thought he would need more time, that the beginnings would be difficult. But he managed to adapt perfectly to what is now one of the biggest clubs in Italy. It’s a number 10 in the body of a number 9. It’s important to understand this in order to analyze Bonny. He is an elegant striker who has this ease with the ball at his feet, which allows him to take control of the game at times, to dictate actions with his dribbling or passing. He likes to get away from the line, participate in the game, but above all, he knows how to do it. He has shown his qualities when he plays alone in attack, but Bonny is a hybrid player, even more comfortable when he has another attacker alongside him.added Antonio Gagliardi, former assistant coach of Parma. On his little cloud, Ange-Yoan Bonny could finally become much more than a simple understudy at Inter and, why not, open the doors to the French team in the coming months…
