Inter boss Roberto Mancini has warned city rivals Milan that they will find it tough to retain their League title.
"Inter are on the same level as Milan," he told the Corriere dello Sport newspaper. "The difference between us and them is that we have changed a lot while Milan haven’t.
"I’m certain that Juventus, who have also changed their Coach like us, will have something to say too in the new campaign."
Although many expect the Scudetto chase to be a three-horse race, Mancio is also keeping a close eye on Roma – despite the shock resignation of tactician Cesare Prandelli.
"They have bought some very interesting youngsters and now have an excellent squad," he added.
Yet the Sampdoria legend is more than satisfied with his own squad, especially given his attacking options.
But can strikers Adriano and Christian Vieri co-exist? "I believe that they can even if they are very similar," he added.
"Christian will be of great use to us even if he is still a little late with regards to his fitness right now.
"But I have a lot of solutions available to me such as Obafemi Martins and Alvaro Recoba."
Mancio also expects new boy Juan Veron to get back to his best after three difficult years in the Premiership.
"The Argentine is very important for us because he gives us some fantasy in the midfield," he added.
"However, we can happily play with Cristiano Zanetti and Edgar Davids in the centre without changing our system."
