AC Milan coach Inzaghi: Torres and Balotelli very different

AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi is convinced about the quality of Fernando Torres.

The ex-Chelsea striker is set for his Serie A debut against Parma.

Comparing Torres with Mario Balotelli, Inzaghi said: "These forwards have completely different characteristics.

"Mario wanted to receive the ball to feet, whereas Fernando attacks the space. In every game I'll decide who to field based on form and the characteristics of our opponents.

"I haven't decided whether Torres will start tomorrow, but I'll see from the last training session today. The same goes for Bonaventura, who is also in great shape.

"Torres is impressing everyone in training, as he sets the example for the rest. Honda has recovered after the long journey from Japan this week, so I think he'll play tomorrow, but El Shaarawy is out."
