. He said:

“Milan have a great coach like Pioli and top directors like Maldini and Massara, they know well what to do.

“Clearly Napoli has traveled at double speed, but I am convinced that the Rossoneri have everything to try to recover for the Scudetto and to go ahead in the Champions League, to experience those nights that the fans know well.

“De Ketelaere? He is strong, but he is young and should be waited for, as was done for Leao. He can become a protagonist, he has quality. You have to take pressure off him.”

“Compared to other countries, we have lost the street football, the oratory. I am already teaching it to my son, I take him to play in all places.

“I too would have taken him back, but it’s clear that not playing for long he has to recover his condition. The problem was mainly the injuries, which slowed him down.

“But after the break we will see the best Romelu again. So will Lautaro. He will be tired, but he will be even more charged up after winning the World Cup, winning helps to win.”

Asked about the best forward in Italy,

Inzaghi

said:

“In Italy without a doubt Immobile, the most complete. In the world, I say Mbappé and Haaland: unreachable.
