Gigi Del Neri thinks new Italy star Simone Zaza can be compared with Christian Vieri rather than Gianluca Vialli.
Gigi Del Neri thinks new Italy star Simone Zaza can be compared with Christian Vieri rather than Gianluca Vialli.
The Sassuolo” data-scaytid=”7″>Sassuolo forward, who scored his first international goal in his second cap against Norway this week, has made all the headlines after a fine display in Oslo.
“I think he is more like Vieri than Vialli,” Del Neri told the Corriere della Sera. “He has goals in his blood, he makes the same kinds of movements and is left-footed.
“Vialli was a more powerful runner, with strong dribbling skills, whereas Zaza is a striker.
“He is a point of reference for his teams, so it would be better to partner him with another forward rather than letting him lead the line on his own.”
