Crowned Italian champion for his first season at Inter Milan, Yann Sommer is living a fairy tale. The Basel goalkeeper deserves praise.
“The fans were expecting Trubin, 21, but instead they got Sommer, almost 35. Replacing André Onana seemed impossible, but the Swiss goalkeeper did much better than that. Nobody regrets it.” The day after Inter’s national coronation, La Repubblica paid tribute to the Basel player, author of an almost perfect season with the Nerazzurri.
By signing 17 shutouts, Yann Sommer was one of the great architects of the 20th coronation won by Inter. Never before him had a Swiss player managed to be champion in Germany and Italy.
This constitutes a little revenge after Inter, still breathtaking on Monday against Milan, was underestimated at Bayern Munich. A few weeks before the Euro, he is in great shape. “Yann Sommer is the prototype of what the goalkeeper of a winning team should do: excel in the ordinary and know how to move on to the extraordinary without warning“, notes a follower of the Italian champions.
