Inter Legend Calls Joaquin Correa's Purchase Right Due To Simone Inzaghi's Direct Request

JAKARTA - Inter Milan legend Christian Vieri believes the Nerazzurri have made the right signing in the form of Joaquin Correa, as he has great chemistry with coach Simone Inzaghi.

Speaking to Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview published in Thursday's print edition, the former striker expressed the view that Correa can bring the form he demonstrated while at Lazio under the current Inter boss.

And that, says Vieri, will be very important for the Nerazzurri as they navigate the new season.

Correa signed from the Biancocelesti last week and he made a huge impact just a day after his signing.

Coming off the bench, he scored two winning goals against Hellas Verona.

Vieri believes that by providing Inzaghi with a player he has worked with, the Nerazzurri have strengthened the project manager and given him tactical continuity in building his project. And this is more important than the individual characteristics of the player.

"They pick the players the coach wants," he explained, "and this is very important, even more important than the qualities Correa has individually."
