Empoli striker Andrea Pinamonti admits he won’t celebrate if he scores against Inter tomorrow and says Mino Raiola was like a father to him.
The 22-year-old joined the Tuscans on loan from Inter last summer and has scored 12 goals in Serie A so far.
“I want more, but if I score against Inter, I won’t celebrate,” he told Gianlucadimarzio.
“It’s my best season, a fundamental campaign for me. Empoli have helped me find new motivations and I hope I’ve repaid their trust. It’s a starting point and I hope more seasons like this will come.”
Pinamonti was one of the many clients of Mino Raiola who died last week.
“It was a huge blow, I had a special rapport with him,” the striker said.
“He was like a father and he was a reference point for younger footballers. You could always count on him. He was a fantastic person, only those who knew him can say how he really was.”
