Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella is full of praise for AC Milan rival Pippo Inzaghi.
The two teams meet tonight.
"Inzaghi has aged so much over the last few months! The job of a Coach really wears you down..." joked Montella to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Who was the better striker? That's not even a question; I still can't explain how he scored so many goals. If you look at him, he wasn't a great dribbler, couldn't shoot from distance and was technically weaker than many strikers who had half his success.
"The reason for Inzaghi's goal tally was the tenacity, conviction and grit. That paid off more than talent and with the same characteristics he will become a great Coach.
"He already found the right position for Keisuke Honda and now the Japan international is a big problem for opponents."
