Former Inter coach Antonio Conte disagrees with criticism of Lazio and Italy striker Ciro Immobile.

As Italian broadcaster Radiosei (via Lazio Siamo Noi) reported earlier today, the 51-year-old Italian coach thought it unfair how bad the Italian striker got this summer.

I do not agree with the review of Immobile, he does a dirty job, he always disturbs the two opposing central defenders, he attacks space. Outside of goals, his teammates exploit his work.

The idea of ​​a false new for Italy does not seem appropriate to me. Badge does not have these characteristics, it would be distorted.

And we would end up with few references in the opposing zone.
