“Sarri was unlucky. He lost the best striker in the world and, after finding in Milik another player capable of scoring at the same rate, he’s gone without again.
“Inter? They’re a bit of a mystery, but it seems that Pioli has found the right track. I like Pioli, he’s wise and giving the team solidity that was missing.
“There was no balance before and they didn’t know how to control games. Now there are also players that are improving, who previously had no feeling with the other Coaches, namely Banega and Brozovic.
“Then there’s Icardi, who has found the back of the net regularly and is world-class.
“Atalanta? They play like a great team, really. They’re aggressive in all areas, with involvement from everyone, solutions going forward, not via possession but quick attacks like the best in Europe.
“We can see Gasperini’s influence, whose organisational quality is matched by very few.
“He’s only had one special experience with Inter, but we’ll say that… he wasn’t the only one.”
