Vieri happy seeing De Ketelaere prove himself at Atalanta

Former Italy star Christian Vieri is happy seeing Charles de Ketelaere proving himself with Atalanta.

De Ketelaere struck twice in victory over Lazio on Sunday.

Vieri told Gazzetta.it: "I see football differently. When foreign players arrive in Italy, especially at San Siro or in a team like Juventus, where there is pressure, it takes time. You have to stay calm.

"Last year he arrived at Milan, everyone expected a lot, but it's not easy. So how is his year at Atalanta going? He's playing a lot more, because then you have to give the strong young player time.

"If you make him play every now and then and then not, he struggles to find a rhythm. He's going very well at Atalanta."
