AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi insists he rates Giampaolo Pazzini.

Pazzini scored his first goal since April in last night's Coppa Italia win over Sassuolo.

"I know the value of Pazzini, in attack we have different players," said Inzaghi.

"Up front is Cerci, Menez, El Shaarawy, Pazzini, Bonanventura and Niang. We have a great abundance and I'm happy.

"I hope to prepare for the game against Atalanta in the most peaceful way. On our way, with our style, playing good football and producing entertainment for our fans."
