Sampdoria legend Gianluca Vialli says he's a big fan of Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini.

"Are Pazzini and Cassano like me and (Roberto) Mancini? I really think they are," smiled Vialli.

"Their understanding has grown spontaneously and is very natural. Cassano sets the tempo and dictates the passes, while Pazzini reads the game the same way.

"Besides, they both have the right mentality to wear the Sampdoria shirt and that is not an easy thing to find."
