Ranieri: Sneijder is Inter's Totti
Posted Sunday, October 09, 2011 by ESPN
Inter Milan manager Claudio Ranieri believes that Wesley Sneijder is their version of Roma's midfield maestro, Francesco Totti.
Speaking after his side suffered a shock 2-0 friendly loss to lowly Swiss side Lugano on Saturday, the Italian made the point after Sneijder missed the game as a result of injury.
"I have no doubt that Sneijder is Inter's Totti, as when he is on the field something magical always happens," the 59-year-old said to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Despite the loss to Lugano, Ranieri believes that it was a good "training session" for his players.
"It was still a good training session and allowed us to test out the condition of some players returning from injury," he said.
Despite languishing in 17th spot on the Serie A table as a result of a poor start to this season, Ranieri still believes his side can challenge for honours.
"This team has no limits, as we can still win the Scudetto," the manager concluded.
