Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri is relying on midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to shine in the upcoming match against Inter.

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 26-year-old Serbian midfielder usually impresses against the Nerazzurri and will have to replicate these highlights again in Saturday’s match, a key game for Sarri and the squad.

Milinkovic-Savic has scored for Lazio in his last three consecutive matches against Inter, something that new Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi knows well.

Sarri is expecting the Serbian midfielder to shine again against the Milanese and wants him to be a leader on the pitch, something that was clearly lacking in the 3-0 loss to Bologna before the international break.

Milinkovic-Savic has had an inconsistent start to the season under Sarri, scoring two goals and providing two assists in seven appearances.

In some games, the Serbian midfielder has been an incredible star on the pitch, whilst in other matches, he has put in some forgettable performances.
