Mancini: We Are The Best
Inter Coach Roberto Mancini has turned up the
heat ahead of tomorrow's big match with Juventus by saying that the Nerazzurri are the best.
The two teams meet in the much-awaited Derby d'Italia in Turin, with Inter still unbeaten at the top of Serie A after 10 games.
Juventus are also going well and sit in third place, just four points behind their opponents.
"We have to try and win - and we can - to remain in solitary command at the top of the table," said Mancini.
"This is because we have eight or nine hard games in front of us. We have to continue to win if we want to stay in front.
"Juventus will want to beat us because we're probably the best team at the moment. Also, they carry behind them everything that happened last year, which wasn't our fault. Inter want to win because Juventus have always been our rival. The players are just thinking about playing and winning, but I think this is quite normal."
The Bianconeri were infamously relegated to Serie B following the Calciopoli crisis in 2006 but they have immediately impressed on their return to the top-flight.
"In spite of everything Juventus are up there in the table," added Mancio.
"They might have trouble fighting for the Scudetto until the end, but they have great spirit and this has always helped them down the years.
"This is the famous spirit of Juventus who have always played to be the strongest of all. This has helped them improve greatly. If Inter have this spirit it can be important for us."
