Como Vs Inter Milan – Long Range Specialists On Display Tonight As Argentina Talent & Turkey Talisman Meet
Sunday evening’s clash at the Sinigaglia doubles as a showcase for two of Serie A’s most lethal long-range shooters, Nico Paz and Hakan Calhanoglu, with Como and Inter sharing the top spot in the league’s long-range goals chart on ten apiece, and both players personally responsible for half of that tally.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, the individual duel between Paz and Calhanoglu is one of the most compelling storylines of the evening.
Both combine power, precision and a fearlessness from distance that sets them apart.
And, indeed, Inter’s position in the rankings is reinforced further by Piotr Zielinski sitting immediately behind them in the same chart.

Paz brings more than just shooting quality.
His free kicks, spectacular long-range finishes, backheel assists and instinctive creativity make him a complete threat in the final third.
And, indeed, a player Inter know very well given their long-standing interest in signing him.
His willingness to try from anywhere at any moment makes him unpredictable in a way that is almost impossible to fully prepare for.
Calhanoglu, meanwhile, operates at the very highest level in this specific skill.
Gazzetta describe his long-range game as a “complete package.” Technique, coordination, responsibility and confidence.
Therefore placing him first among Serie A’s best from distance this season and third in the all-time rankings across Europe’s top five leagues over the past 15 years.
Only Messi, first with 76, and Cristiano Ronaldo second on 38, sit ahead of him.
Inter fans, already missing Lautaro, will be hoping their Turkish talisman delivers another moment of brilliance.
But Paz will surely have something to say about that.
