Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte is delighted with Nicolo Barella's start to the season.
The midfielder has shone since his summer arrival from Cagliari.
Conte said, “Barella has precise characteristics and plenty of room to grow. He's as generous as I was, he's a lad who radiates energy from all his pores.
“We'll have to be good at channelling the energy into the places we want. He's a lad who has a lot of potential, he works hard and has made himself available.
“He has all the ingredients to become a pillar for Inter."
