Bury and Bologna will meet this Saturday at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium and there are several attractions, among them, the return of Sinisa Mihajlovic to a stadium where he stood out as a defender of the Lombard side, today as coach of the visit.
And to animate the confrontation, the same Serbian took the floor to highlight Romelu lukaku as a great figure in Alexis and Vidal’s team. “I could not have stopped it, simple”, acknowledged the former partner of Iván Zamorano.
“Lukaku is faster, stronger and bigger than me. Maybe in a ring I could have stopped him, but in a football game, without hitting, he probably couldn’t have done anything,” reflected Mihajlovic.
And then he surprised with his answer about whether Gary Medel He can act as a central defender in a line of three or four backs. According to the technician, the physical difference he has with Lukaku makes him ill-advised.

“Gary Medel has returned, he is recovered. Surely not 100 percent, because he has been away for a long time, but he can play defense or midfielder. In his national team he has played as a defender and also did it in a game with us,” he admitted.
But more is needed to stop Rom. “Seeing Medel against Lukaku is not exactly the best, it is better to place him a little further,” said Mihajlovic. The point is that, at least physically, this is what the numbers indicate.
Medel is 1.71 mt tall and weighs 65 kilograms, so he would have a huge difference with Lukaku if he faced him. The Belgian climbs over 1.91 meters and registers 94 kilos at the disposal of Inter’s attack.
Inter and Bologna will meet tomorrow from 4:45 pm in the duel that closes the Saturday day of the tenth round of the Italian league.
