Oliver Bierhoff believes it was “a mistake” for Lukas Podolski to join Inter. “He needs to feel confidence around him.”
The striker was on target while on international duty with Germany this week, becoming the third highest scorer in his nation’s history.
However, he is yet to find the net for Inter since arriving on loan from Arsenal in January and few expect the Nerazzurri to exercise their option to buy.

“When I heard that he’d be going to Milan for six months, I felt bad for him. It seemed like a mistake,” Bierhoff told Das Bild.
“I know full well it’s not easy to change club in January. Football is not the same sport in every country.
“Lukas is a very emotional guy and he needs to feel confidence around him. I advise him to join a club where there is faith in him and he can play consistently.
“Going to a top club means dealing with teammates who are trying to elbow you out of the way to get into the starting XI.
“Lukas, on the other hand, has to feel as if the club is family and he can relax.”
