Piacenza defender Alessio Rizza is happy seeing Kristjan Asllani succeed with Inter Milan.

The pair played together at Empoli.

Rizza said: “Kristjan has always had great qualities. when he was young and played at Empoli, you could see that he was very strong.

“He is a humble guy with his head firmly on his shoulders, he deserves what he has now."

Rizza is on-loan at Piacenza from Empoli.
