Chelsea Loanee Aina Labelled 'Incredible Hulk' After Dominating Inter Milan Stars
Published: August 27, 2018Chelsea loanee Ola Aina has been praised for his impressive display in Torino's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milano) on Sunday evening.
For the second successive game, the Nigeria international was introduced off the bench after Argentine fullback Cristian Ansaldi sustained an injury 22 minutes into the match and slotted in comfortably as a left wing-back.
In the player ratings by Turin's most respected sports daily Tuttosport, the story was headlined, ''Scorecard Torino : Ola Aina Looks Like Hulk'', and the Super Eagle was rated the joint-best player on parade for the Granata.
Aina was awarded seven marks along with goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, midfielder Soualiho Meïté, and strikers Andrea Belotti and Iago Falque.
On Aina, the editors wrote in their assessment : ''Ola Aina (22 'pt) 7 Confirms to be an excellent alternative, highlighting quality and a physical domination.''
Aina has been recalled to the Nigeria squad for a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles next month.
