Inter Milan boss Luciano Spalletti compared PSV Eindhoven to their manager Mark van Bommel ahead of their Champions League Group B clash, predicting a physical contest.
Van Bommel made over 250 appearances and scored more than 50 goals in his time as an all-action midfielder for the club he now coaches and Spalletti said the Dutchman is building a team in his own image.
PSV have made a positive start this season under Van Bommel - who was appointed as club head coach in June - winning all of their games apart from a Dutch Super Cup defeat to Feyenoord and a Champions League reverse at Barcelona.
