Luc - The Brief Encounter

King for a Night, originally titled The King of Comedy, is a Martin Scorsese film, and the perfect title to describe the spell of Inter players who left their mark just once, albeit an important one. Today's protagonist is one of them.

The 2011-12 season had begun in an unusual manner. Following Leonardo's sudden departure, Gian Piero Gasperini took charge at Inter after a few days of uncertainty. His spell was to be extremely brief, with defeat at Novara bringing it to an end. It had been a 3-1 loss against the newly promoted Piedmont side. Gasp fielded a highly unusual front three: Forlan, Milito and Castaignos from right to left.
