The next player after Rodri

AC Milan legend Alessandro Costacurta (58) praised "Son Heung-min's best friend" Hakan Chalhanolu (30, Inter).

In an interview with Italian media Corriere della Sera on the 5th, Costacurta said, "Charlhanolu has blossomed in a new position," adding, "I think of Edgar Daviz, who has struggled for his place in Milan and became a world-class player in Juventus."

"Charlhanolu is the best defensive midfielder in Europe after Rodri. He has grown and become more altruistic and has become a complete player," he said.

Chalhanolu, who is familiar to domestic soccer fans because he was in the same team with Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) during Bayer 04 Leverkusen, has originally played a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder. Since last season, he has moved to a "deep lining playmaker" that protects the defense of the 3-5-2 formation under Simone Inzaghi, and proved that the choice was not wrong, making a brilliant contribution to Inter's Serie A victory this season.

Chalhanolu is not as strong as other defensive midfielders. With his exceptional pass skills, Chalhanolu was in charge of building up the team's rear, and he still boasts strength in box hitting and dead balls, scoring 15 goals and three assists in 38 games this season.

Inter fans are so impressed considering the time when they had a hard time with their relatively poor physical and de-pressurizing abilities.

Kostakurta, who praised "the core of the rival team," is a legendary player who played for Milan for 21 years. As a member of Milan, he won the Serie A title seven times, and won the UEFA Champions League five times. 스포츠중계

During the heyday of Milan's defense, often referred to as "Paolo Maldini-Alesandro Nesta-Yaf Stam-Kapu," he was one of the players who played in the most games, announcing his retirement from active duty after winning the 2006/07 Champions League.
