Cagliari, between gallops, flashes and strokes of genius: how Luvumbo lit up San Siro

Zito Luvumbo was one of the best Cagliari players seen at San Siro against Inter: his performance

Run Zito, run. And Luvumbo takes the command literally. On the green lawn of San Siro, the Inter fans saw an arrow with a white t-shirt coming and going. Zito Luvumbo he pulled off one of his best performances of the season against the league leaders, without being overwhelmed by the emotion of playing in a historic stadium for Italian football, in front of stands packed with opposing fans. Zito runs and does so with grace, courage and that hint of naivety which, hopefully, one day can turn into a precious experience. Luvumbo is, however, also and above all this: immature. An element not to be taken the wrong way, it must be clarified. The Angolan was one of the spearheads of the youth sector Cagliari. Now, at 22 years old, he is a real essential in the first team Claudio Ranieri. Just look at his performance againstInterthe most recent, where it sent the defenders of Simone Inzaghi and the over 70 thousand at San Siro. An authentic hypnotic trail made up of the Angolan’s strides, leaps and genius. The winning assist for the momentary 1-1 draw came from Luvumbo’s feet (better to say side, perhaps). Eldor Shomurodov. And the Uzbek will have to offer, at the very least, a dinner to his teammate. But Luvumbo’s winning pass for his teammate is just the tip of the iceberg of a performance that perhaps would have deserved more of the spotlight after the match. A tiny injustice in the hearts of the rossoblù fans who still enjoy the steps (one might say, if anything, the strides) forward of the number 77. And Zito continues to run. Who’s stopping him now?
