Former Inter central defender Fulvio Collovati believes that Inter could well get themselves back into the race for the Serie A title.

The Serie A season got back underway this past weekend following a three month Coronavirus enforced stop and Inter resumed the campaign in the best possible way with a 2-1 victory over Sampdoria at San Siro.

The victory has brought Inter within six points of league leaders Juventus with 12 games to play and Collovati believes that the pandemic has cancelled out any advantages sides had.

“There could be some surprises and even a return of Inter in the title race. The pandemic has cancelled all the differences, we have seen an unrecognisable Juventus,” he explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Musica Television show ‘Taca La Marca’, earlier on today.

Collovati also paid tribute to the late Mario Corso, who passed away aged 78 this past weekend.

“He was my manager at Inter in 1984. He was a character very close to the players and of great depth, I am sorry for his loss.”

Collovati joined Inter in 1982 from city rivals AC Milan and spent the next four years with the club before departing for 1986.

During his time with the club, Collovati made 167 appearances across all competitions, in which he scored seven goals.
