APPIANO GENTILE - "Despite the freezing conditions, we've worked very well over the last few days. Over the last fortnight we decided to lighten the workload and increase intensity to finish the year in the best possible way," said Andrea Stramaccioni to Inter Channel, as he commented on how his side have been in training before moving onto tomorrow's opposition, Lazio: "Who I would take out of Hernanes and Klose? Hernanes has finally found his best position and is starting to show his best form. He's a midfielder who plays best when he goes for goal, he's got the qualities of an advanced playmaker, he's dangerous because of his lethal shot and is playing very well at the moment. In terms of Klose, it's hard for me to praise him anymore than saying he's one of the best strikers in Europe. As a young coach all I can say is that he's got better with age and this shows what a consummate professional he is, the fact he's still motivated today. He's an example for young players, I just hope he doesn't play too well against us tomorrow!"
