In the 12th round of Serie A, Milan defeated Inter Milan 1-0. After the game, Vieri was interviewed.
Regarding this game, Vieri said: "Maybe they need to play less gorgeous style and score more goals. Milan encountered some difficulties in the game, but then they will seize several counterattack opportunities to score. Once they score, it will be difficult to break through their defense because their formation is compact and their defense is solid."
Chivu replaced Lautaro in the second half, and Vieri was surprised: "I thought Chivu would replace Thuram because he has not started for two months, but this is Chivu's decision after all."
Vieri scored 142 goals in 264 Serie A games during his playing career, and scored 23 goals in 49 games on behalf of the Italian national team.
