Fabio Capello, interviewed by today's edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, reiterated his belief that Inter are the favorites to win the scudetto. According to the former coach, the Nerazzurri team is the best equipped for the title race and, at the moment, he sees no reason to doubt this position. "I have always maintained that it was the favourite, the team best equipped for the scudetto and at the moment I have no reason to convince me otherwise. However, seeing all of Milan and all of Rome up there makes me happy and takes me back to my past", said Capello.
Over the last eight matches, Inter have lost five matches. For the former coach, this result is a sign of great strength, but at the same time a wake-up call, especially when considering the European competition. "It's not easy to come back in the Champions League, because the others don't drop in pace as often happens here in Italy. And in fact Chivu didn't manage to make a comeback against Real Madrid and Bruges", he observed.
Capello then expressed admiration for Lazio, who currently occupy the top of the table. "Gattuso is doing something extraordinary, there's no point beating around the bush. And mind you, there's nothing random about Lazio's 7 successes in 8 days. On the contrary, he plays football that I like, without too many useless flourishes, always going vertically without getting lost in touches that make the maneuver cumbersome", he commented. According to Capello, the strength of Gattuso's team also lies in the ability to recover elements of the squad that seemed lost to the Biancoceleste cause.
The commentator then underlined that, although Inter are still the favourites, the title race remains open and Lazio represents a serious threat. With the season still underway, the next matches will be decisive to determine who will be able to maintain the leading position and win the championship. The match between the two teams from Milan and Rome will continue to capture the attention of football fans, with the hope that the final result reflects the quality and determination demonstrated on the pitch.
