I think Seba's first club in Italy was either Sampdoria or Parma. It's certainly not Lazio. But it is true that Sven is the manager who brought him to Italy. There's certainly nothing special that he praised the manager who first identified his talent in the biography of that manager. The comparison between Sven and Fergie may be just the media making story themselves or they implement Veron's interview in their own way (for the purpose of making big noise so that they can attract more readers). United fans should be more clever than believing every single word they read from the paper.
