Barca host Inter in the first legs of their semi -final of the Champions League as clear favorites.
But Coco, who played for both clubs during his career, said to Tuttosport: “I am convinced that Inter will have the power to respond and can rise again after the last defeats.
“For this reason, I expect that they can do better in the Champions League than in the competition, despite the fact that Barcelona is currently the worst possible opponent.
“The (Barca) is certainly the team that plays the best in the world and that is the most entertaining. They have an incredible quality with players with a very high technical level, but Interens has weapons at their disposal to try to harm the Catalans.”
Inter must face Barca with confidence
About how Inter Barca can shock tonight, Coco insists that much depends on the trust of the visiting players.
He continued: “First of all, Inter has to go to Barcelona without fear and enter the field with the consciousness of a great team, aware of the fact that they are confronted with an opponent who, whatever happens, lets you play very little.
“The possession of the ball and initiatives will almost all be the privilege of the Catalans. If the Nerazzurri can be compact, they can get the chance to create opportunities to score.
“By, for example, playing vertically and launching (Marcus) Thuram in depth, Inter can cause serious problems for the Barça center backs. Moreover, the Vleugels with (Denzel) Dumfries and (Fede) Dimarco, (coach Simone) Inspaghi Intaghi in Barça Ingebaghi ​​can do a lot of damage.
