Palermo fullback Federico Balzaretti says victory over Inter Milan will strengthen their top four push.

The Rosanero face Inter in Sicily this weekend.

Balzaretti said: "Saturday's game could give us great momentum for the rest of the championship. We will try to win also because it would be historic for the city if we qualified for the Champions League."

Asked to explain the impact made by Delio Rossi, he said: "At the start of the season we suffered too many highs and lows.

"With Rossi's arrival we have worked well with great continuity and a consciousness in our own means. He cares for the little details," he added.
