Inter chief Massimo Moratti insists that the title race is still alive. "In this life, you never know," he said.
Moratti’s Inter managed a rare win over Milan on Sunday to move into second place in the table, 10 points behind Juventus, whom Milan President Silvio Berlusconi said were "too far away" yesterday.
The Inter patron, though, refused to be so defeatist and is confident that the Milan win will serve as a launch-pad to rein in the Serie A champions.
"Juventus aren’t too far ahead," he said. "Nobody plans their season around Juventus and in this life, you never know.
"It all depends on how many games we win and how many slip-ups they make."
In fairness, Juve don’t look like slipping up but it is still early in the season to be predicting title winners.
Milan have already managed to take points off the Bianconeri this term, but it will take a major loss in form for Fabio Capello’s men to throw it away now.
Moratti was also delighted with Adriano’s two-goal performance against the Rossoneri on Sunday.
After experiencing a few personal problems over recent weeks, the Brazilian striker now seems settled and Moratti is pleased with the renewed team spirit at the San Siro.
"I told Adriano that I was happy for him," added Moratti. "He replied that he was happy for us.
"This is a god sign because it means he now understands the importance of his role in the team and the club.
"Adriano was decisive against Milan," continued the Inter chief. "With his ability, though, he could do even better and he knows it.
"If he can score twice through sheer desire, imagine what he can do when he expresses all of his qualities."
