Inter Milan coach Stramaccioni full of admiration for Roma's Zeman

Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni admits he's a big fan of AS Roma counterpart Zdenek Zeman.

Strama, nicknamed 'the Italian Andre Villas Boas,' made his career as youth team tactician at his hometown club from 2005 to 2011.

"Am I looking for some sort of revenge? No, zero," assured Strama in his Press conference.

"If I am at Inter, then I owe it to the six years I spent at Roma. That is the truth. I will always thank the Giallorossi, as I became a professional at Trigoria.

"I was thrown into the mix early and am learning many things by experiencing them. Obviously I lack experience, but I am trying to absorb information at the speed of light from all sources.

"Zeman is the same age as my father, he was already training before I was born and remains a great Coach. For a young tactician like me, he set the bar for a certain way to play football and I admire him a great deal. We will try to win the game, as always, but Zeman is inimitable."
