Ahhh, you're just playing to Italian media and paranoia.
Aside, bummer about Zambro. We need serious consistency at the defensive wing, and we just don't have it for CL-level matches without him. :frown:
Also, I hate to be a pessimist, but I see no reason why we should with this Derby D'Italia. Every factor I can think of turns up Inter:
* Form: Inter has had their share of problems, but the loss to Fiorentina at the Tardini is hardly a disgrace. Meanwhile, Juve are struggling to keep the bad lone goal out of the net from inferior competition, and we're playing long ball desperation to get just one goal at the other end. Advantage: Inter.
* Motivation: Juve can afford to lose and still be up 6 points. Inter loses, and they will have to face the reality of their futility far sooner than usual. Advantage: Inter.
* Venue: San Siro. Advantage: Inter.
* Coaching: Not that Mancini is going to do more than Cuper ever did, other than the Coppa Italia, but Mancini is coaching to win right now. While Capello is coaching not to lose. Advantage: Inter.
OK, one thing in our favor: Inter's history and Juve's history. Advantage: Juve every time.
Still, I can't see us winning the battle. The war is still largely in our favor.
Inter 2-0.
