Former Inter Milan striker Eder is a big fan of the work being done by Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi.

The Brazilian-born former Italian international spoke to Italian broadcaster Radio Sportiva, via FCInterNews.

Former Empoli and Sampdoria striker Eder spent two and a half years as an Inter player.

The 37-year-old joined the Nerazzurri in January of 2016. And he left the club in 2018.

Eder joined Jiangsu FC, then called Jiangsu Suning, who were at the time owned by current Inter owners Suning.

For his part, the striker still feels that he is a fan of Inter.

Eder On Simone Inzaghi, Suning Criticism

“I always support the Nerazzurri from Brazil,” Eder said.

“They’re a tough team that has taken on a strong identity since Conte’s time in charge.”

“And they’re continuing with the great work of Inzaghi,” he continued. “Who managed to take Inter to the Champions League final in June.”

“It will be tough for Juve, the title race will keep going,” Eder continued.

The 37-year-old argued that “The Bianconeri don’t play good football. But they manage to keep fighting until the end.”

“For me, beyond my support of them, Inter will win the league title, and are favourites to win the Supercoppa as well,” Eder predicted.

And the striker also said of Inter captain Lautaro Martinez that “Lautar already had great quality when he first arrived in Italy. I remember him very well.”

Of Martinez’s strike partner Marcus Thuram, Eder said that “He attacks spaces well. I’m happy that they’ve created a great partnership in attack.”

Meanwhile, the former Italian international also reflected on his criticism of Suning regarding the Chinese company’s role in the downfall of Jiangsu FC.

“I was harsh with Zhang for how they acted with us during the pandemic in China,” he said.

“We managed to win the 2020 league title,” the striker noted. “And when the doors were closed for matches, they didn’t want to talk to me anymore, they had the wrong attitude.”

“I was sad about it,” Eder said. “But I don’t hold a grudge.”

“I expected more than at the time. But there’s no point in talking about it anymore.”
