NBA and Italian national team basketball star Nicolo Melli has shared his hopes to see Inter win the Serie A title next season.
For a long time this season Inter had been up at the top challenging for the Serie A title but prior to football being stopped due to the Coronavirus crisis, Antonio Conte’s side slipped down to third in the table and find themselves eight points behind second placed Lazio and nine points behind first place Juventus, although they do have a game in hand.
Although Inter have fallen off, Melli has revealed there has been plenty he has been happy with this term.
“I hope that next year will be the decisive one to win the Scudetto again. This year has been full of satisfactions but the season has not been concluded but now there are other priorities than football,” Melli remarked in an interview with Italian broadcaster Sky Sport 24 earlier on today.
The 29-year-old centre is in his first season in the NBA and currently plays for the New Orleans Pelicans. The former Olympia Milano player has played in 52 games this year for the Pelicans in which he has averaged 6.8 points, three rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest.
