Inter legend Beppe Bergomi urges the Nerazzurri to focus on the Europa League, and thinks Wolfsburg are overrated.

The former defender made over 750 appearances for the Beneamata, and now works as a commentator and pundit for Sky in Italy.

“Without a doubt, the Europa League should be the main focus for this last part of the season,” was Bergomi’s assessment as he spoke to FcInterNews.

“In fact, I think it would be dangerous to waste mental and physical energy in the League.

“Without a doubt, the Europa League should be the main focus for this last part of the season,” was Bergomi’s assessment as he spoke to FcInterNews.

“In fact, I think it would be dangerous to waste mental and physical energy in the League.

“Of course, in Serie A they can get into the Europa League again, but if Inter want to qualify for the next Champions League they’ll focus exclusively on the cup.

“There are too many teams and too many points between them and third place [in Serie A]. I repeat, if Inter want to get into the Champions League, they should consider the Europa League the most important objective.”

Roberto Mancini’s men face a tough tie, with Wolfsburg standing between them and the quarter-finals, but are the Germans as good as they’ve been made out to be?

“I don’t think so,” Bergomi insisted.

“I think the opinion of this team has been inflated by recent performances, especially the win against Bayern Munich [4-1 on January 30].

“I saw that game, and Pep Guardiola’s team had done a lot of work [in the mid-season break], it wasn’t the usual team, and that indirectly helped Die Wölfe a lot.

“Wolfsburg are a well-drilled team whose strengths lie in their speed and technique; Inter will have to pay attention to that.

“They have good players like Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle and Luiz Gustavo, but I think the Nerazzurri can afford to gamble.”
