Former Inter coach: ‘CR7 is good but R9 was another matter’

Former Inter coach: ‘CR7 is good but R9 was another matter’

Gigi Simoni, former coach of Inter Milan, has been speaking to Sportnews.eu, to which he revealed his thoughts on the comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazario (O Fenômeno):
 
“My Ronaldo was much more complete, more unpredictable, they are two different players. Cristiano is a strong player, but O Fenomeno was another thing.”
 
“When asked about the derby, Simoni said: "Favourite? At this time Inter. But the derby remains a separate race so it is always difficult to make a prediction. When I coached the Nerazzurri I remember with pleasure what we won 3 to 0. Icardi or Higuain? It's hard to make comparisons because they are two champions, I have a special sympathy for Higuain but I care about Inter and therefore cheer Icardi.”
 
“I have never seen an angry President like Moratti for that episode, it is a very sad memory, especially for us who suffered a serious injustice. We always have that memory, nothing is left to me and remains in the mind of the fans of the 'Inter’. In a certain period, Juventus was guided by special characters and in 2006 it was sent in Serie B.”
