Gianni Rivera says Fiorentina’s Federico Bernardeschi is ‘a model of inspiration’ for young Italians.
The 22-year-old has been one of the breakout stars of the season for La Viola, making 22 league appearances in a new wing-back role.
Former Milan star Rivera was present for today’s Hall of Fame event in Florence and touched on the open race for the third and final Champions League spot.
“It’s a great fight for third place among many teams,” Rivera told Tuttomercatoweb.

“I think that it’ll be uncertain right up to the end, until the maths makes it certain.
“Bernardeschi? A nice surprise, it shows that the youth sectors in Italy still work. He should be a model of inspiration.”
