What They're Saying
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): "They [Empoli] are a great team. They have a very good coach, and also many good youngsters. It's always difficult to win at Empoli. Inter will have to be careful. In fact, we'll have to be almost perfect."
Inter Milan winger Lukas Podolski (via Football Italia): "Finding no space with Arsenal, I had to change scenes and I chose Inter. They are one of the top 10 teams in the world."
