Zanetti: Title not two-horse race
Cristiano Zanetti believes the Scudetto will not be a two-horse race between Inter and his Juventus teammates.
“We are starting out with the intention to do well, but it is not going to be a two-team battle for the title.”
Last term the Bianconeri finished second despite a poor run of results that saw Claudio Ranieri sacked, so with the arrival of Diego, Fabio Cannavaro and Felipe Melo, many expect them to again be the main challengers.
“I didn’t see a huge gap between us and Inter in previous years either, let alone now,” said the midfielder.
“Last season we were hampered by injuries, especially in the key moments. This term we are starting out with the extra fire given by a new Coach.
“I can see [Ciro] Ferrara act just the way he played – always concentrated and focused on every little detail.”
Zanetti was one of those worst affected by injuries, as he barely featured due to a string of muscular problems.
“Unfortunately I picked up this injury in August and it was made worse by rushing my recovery. This is why I hope to finally have the right fitness to challenge everyone for a place in the starting XI.”
