Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni claims coach Antonio Conte is one of few who ‘would have the courage’ to give a youngster the chance in defence.

The 21-year-old basically thanked the Nerazzurri coach for showing faith in him and giving him a chance to establish himself in the starting line-up at San Siro.

“Conte has certainly given me a lot, I don’t know many who would have the courage to give a 20-year-old his debut at Inter like that,” Bastoni told Sky Sport Italia.
