Inter Milan Treble winner Marco Materazzi has sung the praises of young defender Alessandro Bastoni.

Bastoni has been likened to Materazzi.

He said: "I hope I have been at his height in the past, he is a great player and he is showing it.

"He has an incredible foot and a great personality."

Materazzi also said: "(Simone) Inzaghi? He is doing a great job, he has done great things for Lazio and has decided to get back in the game by leaving the comfort zone."
