Former Lazio coach Alberto Zaccheroni discussed the Biancocelesti’s upcoming Serie A clash against Inter in an interview with Italian radio broadcaster Radiosei (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) earlier today.

I like Lazio better when they play at home, but it will certainly be a tough Lazio. Simone Inzaghi has given them an important mentality, they’re a team that’s shows that they’re always on the ball.

They have Immobile up front and he’s the best scorer in the league, and they’ve got great players on the wings. And then there’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who can make the difference when he’s in good form.

There aren’t many players who combine performance and quality like him. I’ve been saying this for a long time, he’s a player who could change the balance anywhere.

He commented on the strengths of the Nerazzurri.

Inter have a very specific organisation and identity. They’re not a team that aims to please, but to be concrete, as the teams coached by Antonio Conte usually are.

Against Lazio they will have to play their game, to bring out their qualities, which are above all in the vertical play in search of the two forwards.

Finally, Zaccheroni gave a prediction for the game.

It will be three games, anything can happen.
