Inzaghi: "Sven, you're always be with me"

The death of Sven-Göran Eriksson is deeply saddening for me. I was really young, I'd just arrived in Rome and he helped me a lot. He was fundamental in my development as a player and a man. I admired his calmness, how polite he was and the way he really respected everybody. He was a source of inspiration for me. I'm here today thanks partly to him and what he taught me. Sven was a great man, an example in life for us all. In these last few months, he showed his strength and desire to live, another demonstration of his greatness. He taught us to live while he was dying. Rest in peace, Sven, and thank you for everything. You will always be with me.
