Mi Sports: Inter Milan encounters a goalkeeper crisis, and two youth training goalkeepers are promoted to the first team

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, with Inter Milan’s second goalkeeper Martinez unable to play after a car accident and Di Gennaro injured, Chivu can only rely on the two goalkeepers trained in the youth academy to cope with the current predicament. These two young men need to be prepared at all times because no one knows what will happen in the future.

Spain goalkeeper Josep Martinez hit an 81-year-old man in a car accident, causing the latter to die on the spot. He is still in a state of shock and has suffered considerable psychological trauma, so he will miss the next games against Fiorentina and Verona, and may even include the Champions League game against Kairat Almaty.

Inter Milan has arranged for a psychiatrist to help Josep Martinez. However, the schedule is tight and Inter must be prepared. After Sommer, 20-year-old Alessandro Caligaris and 18-year-old Alan Tajo will serve as backup goalkeepers.

Who is Calligaris?

Calligaris was born in 2005 and is from Udinese. He currently plays for the Inter Milan U23 team and serves as the goalkeeper in the Serie C league. Last year, he won the Youth League Championship as a main player. This season, he has played 8 times in professional games, including two clean sheets.

Calligaris only missed the first two games against Novara and Propatria, as well as his Coppa Italia debut against Lumezzane. In addition, he also missed the game with Renate because he was with the first team.

Last season, Caligaris played 33 times in all competitions and kept 13 clean sheets. He also saved a crucial penalty against Bayern in the Champions League Youth League. Caligaris has been selected for Inter Milan's first-team squad 21 times, and Chivu also took him to the Club World Cup.

Who is Tahoe?

After Di Gennaro was injured, Caligaris became Inter Milan's third goalkeeper. But Martinez's accident changed the plan, and Tajo will become Inter Milan's new third goalkeeper.

Tajo is the main goalkeeper of the Inter Milan youth team coached by Benito Carbone. He has played 5 times in Serie A this season and 3 times in the Youth League. He saved Liteta's penalty kick in the Super Cup against Cagliari, helping the team win the trophy.

Tajo was born on April 29, 2007, to Albanian parents. He grew up in Milan and initially began training as a goalkeeper at the Schuster Center before being signed by Inter Milan.

Last year, Inzaghi took Tahoe to participate in the Italian Cup against Genoa and Lazio. In October this year, Tajo made his debut for the Albanian U21 national team against San Marino and played 25 minutes. Inter goalkeeper coach Gianluca Spinelli will help Tahoe further develop.
