Klinsmann: "Poldi is clinical"

Jürgen Klinsmann gave three good reasons why Lukas Podolskis’s impending move to Inter will be successful in a short interview with German newspaper Bild. “He doesn’t need many chances to score – he’s clinical, can read the game well and acclimatises quickly,” said Klinsmann, who played in Milan between 1989 and 1992 and won the UEFA Cup with Inter.

His planned transfer to the 18-time Italian Champions would see a difficult spell at Arsenal come to an end for the 29-year-old. The World Champion hasn’t made many appearances so far this season. On Friday evening he landed in Milan and was greeted by hundreds of supporters. “I’m happy, come on Inter,” said Podolski in an interview with Sky-Italia.

"I hope that Poldi can help Inter qualify for Europe next year,“ said Klinsmann, who managed the Germany senior team between 2004 and 2006. Inter are currently 11th in the league, six points adrift of a Europa League place. Roberto Mancini’s side have had defensive problems so far this season. In 16 games they have conceded 23 teams. Only five teams have conceded more in Serie A. On Tuesday, they face table toppers Juventus.
