Legendary Italian football manager Marcello Lippi has shared his belief that Inter can be considered as being back in the race for the Serie A title following last night’s result.
With their 2-1 win over Sampdoria at San Siro last night, Inter are now six points adrift of league leaders Juventus and five off of second placed Lazio having now played the same amount of games as both the Bianconeri and Biancocelesti.
“After the success against Sampdoria, Inter are back fully in the running for the Scudetto. Conte is someone who transmits an exceptional charge, especially in such periods,” Lippi explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Rai earlier on today.
Lippi, who spent just over a season in charge at Inter, then shared his thoughts on the season being back underway after being on hold for three months due to the global Coronavirus pandemic.
“We are all happy that the season has resumed, without algorithms and without playoffs. There are no more doubts that the season can end and things can be decided on the field.”
The former Italian national team manager, who led Italy to winning the 2006 World Cup, also spoke on late Inter legend Mario Corso, who passed away over the weekend at the age of 78.
“I have fantastic memories of him. He was a person of infinite simplicity, sweetness and courtesy. He was a brilliant player.”
