“Roma-Inter? I’ll be supporting Inter and I think they’ll win. Inter have a genius in their dugout this season: Spalletti,” began the former Azzurri attacker.
“They can beat Juventus, who have always been the best [Serie A team]. I only played with Inter for a season, but I remain an ‘interista’ inside.
“Icardi or Dzeko? Dzeko plays football and scores, while Icardi works little for the team.
“Schick? He’s better than Dybala and, due to his characteristics, I advise him to join Inter.
“Who will win Serie A? I’d say Inter ahead of Juventus and Napoli. Inter have had a smart transfer campaign and didn’t need Sabatini.
“Skriniar’s a phenomenon, I only needed a few training sessions with him to Samp to reach that conclusion. He, Borja Valero and Vecino are statements by Ausilio.
“Juve weaker without Bonucci? He became a top player thanks to Barzagli and Chiellini. Dani Alves’ departure is more significant.
“He said the Juve dressing room was sad, obviously I wasn’t mistaken when I said that Juve were a team of soldiers.
“Milan and Napoli? Montella’s good and Milan have spent so much, but San Siro’s not for everyone.
“Napoli always play with the same 11 and only have one tactic: they’re too repetitive and it’s also a limitation of theirs.
“Top three players in Serie A? There’s one absolute champion, Higuain. Then come the others. I’d put Insigne and Dzeko on the podium.
“Insigne better than me? Lorenzo and I are very good friends, but I was better than him and we’re different…
“I was pure inspiration and fantasy on the pitch, plus I could play in different positions. He needs to play on the left of a 4-3-3.
“Numbers also say nothing: [Insigne] taking Maradona’s No 10 would only create problems.”
