England manager Fabio Capello has warned Inter Milan to be wary of Liverpool's lethal counter-attacks when the two sides meet in tonight's Champions League showdown.
Rafa Benitez's side hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg at Anfield ahead
of the San Siro clash.
'Liverpool are in good form,' Capello told Gazzetta dello Sport. 'I watched
them play on Saturday and they have taken three consecutive positive results,
which has given them a boost in confidence.
'Inter will have to be careful not to concede a goal and not to be hit by
their rival's counter-attacks because when Liverpool are given space they are
lethal.'
Italian Capello believes Inter have a mighty challenge on their hands but has
not ruled out their chances of progressing to the Champions League
quarter-finals.
'In Inter I see the right spirit,' he said. 'There's the will to play a
great game, but then of course you must be able to do this and always consider
that you could give away a goal at any time.'
However, the former Real Madrid manager will not be surprised if Liverpool
become the fourth Barclays Premier League side to reach the last eight of
Europe's elite club competition.
'The Premier League is a very rich tournament,' said Capello. 'It's full of
star players, the best strikers such as Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Dimitar
Berbatov and Emmanuel Adebayor play here.
'The top four clubs, and I would also include Tottenham in there, play a
different type of football from the rest with a winning formula.'
