Hate because of stating the truth? My friend, you can check my profile on Twitter and see how many retweets I made for Barella :)

It's not the truth. It's just your opinion. I get a big part of this forum has a strong dislike for Barella but not all of us share it. When i have seen Nagatomo, Guarin and Gagliardini as captains i have zero issues with capitano Barella.

It's my opinion on what I see in the pitch. Bringing up shitty examples like Gags and the rest isn't making it look reasonable at all. Nagatomo was at least mature enough despite being below average footballer, Guardin on another note was also rather average but at least they weren't as bitchy as Barella is.

What's with Barella's characteristics regarding captaincy? Tell me then, what do you take into consideration when selecting a captain on your team?

Dull, energy-saving-mode Serie A home match. Almost orgasmic ❤️

It is reasonable when you call him wearing the armband an insult. Nowhere near it. One of the most important traits of a captain is being influential both on and off the pitch, something that Barella has and none of Nagatomo, Guarin and Gags did. Barella's mood swings makes a bad fit for a captain but let's not make it like it's an insult to Inter values to have him wear armband for few minutes.

Nagatomo and Guarin were during the times while our team was stacked with garbage players and we had no better. Nagatomo was well matured and a true professional. Was he a great player? No, but like I said, we had no choices back then.

It's complete different situation now. We have quality players now. Barella might be a quality player but he is way too immature. Besides of that, he tends to disappear when it matters the most, especially as a "best midfielder of the league" attribution. You can't just bring shitty excuses like Nagatomo, Guardin and Gags for something that doesn't just fit.

Barella is no captain material, and seeing him with armband ahead of some others which are clearly better options, then it's irritating. I don't get where do you guys get the idea of quality player needs to be a captain automatically, no matter if he acts like a teenager all the fucking time.

Needed to show up and we did. Tidy performance. Can't be unhappy with that.

Barella actually stepped up as a captain and behaved differently when he had it on

Food for thought...

... But yeah, he's no captain of Inter
