Inter Milan legend Walter Zenga has shrugged off the team's improvement under coach Stefano Pioli.

Pioli has revived the team and club since taking over from Frank de Boer earlier this season.

But Zenga says: "Pioli is doing well and I'm confident of Europe, but I also say that it'd be difficult to do worse, because the squad of the Nerazzurri is really a high level.

"When the performance is positive, however, it means that it works well and Pioli is doing it."

On Gabigol, he added: "We always talk about him as if he were Maradona, but in my opinion, if this boy had enormous talent, why would Pioli not play him? He probably carries the burden of the amount spent to bring him here and the presentation in the Ronaldo style."
