Inter Milan hero Samuel admits being big fan of Skriniar

Inter Milan hero Walter Samuel admits he's a big fan of Milan Skriniar.

Ahead of Inter's clash with AS Roma, the Argentine was asked to compare Skriniar with Kostas Manolas.

“Do I see myself more in Kostas Manolas or Skriniar?" Samuel considered.

“Manolas is better one-on-one. I'll say Skriniar, he's good in the air and has accurate long passing. Maybe it's not the first thing you think of, but so did I."

Samuel won Serie A with Roma in 2001, but has one big regret from that time.

“I remember when I arrived [Gabriel] Batistuta spoke to me about [Francesco] Totti and he said: 'you'll see, we'll win the Scudetto, he puts the ball wherever you want it, even with his back to it'.

“He was right. I was still young and stupid though, so I skipped the party at Circo Massimo to fly back to Argentina. If I could go back, I wouldn't leave for a week."
