Former AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano has declared Zlatan Ibrahimovic the third greatest centre-forward of all time.
Cassano says only Ronaldo Nazario and Marco van Basten can be regarded ahead of the Swede.
Before Milan’s draw with Verona, Cassano said: “After Ronaldo the Phenomenon and [Marco] Van Basten, Ibra is the third strongest centre-forward in history, the most complete I have ever seen.
“As for Inter, they are playing with a 3-4-1-2 system. If he [Antonio Conte] goes back to 3-5-2 and fields [Christian] Eriksen as a playmaker, like [Andrea] Pirlo, he would change the team.
“He doesn’t see Eriksen, let’s face it. But if Conte gets this crazy idea, Eriksen in front of the defence, with [Nicolò] Barella and [Arturo] Vidal ahead of him, he could change the team. He must give him confidence, Eriksen is a great player.”
