Former Inter goalkeeper Ivano Bordon has said that Inter’s players may feel that the finish line is close if they beat AC Milan on Saturday evening, according to a report in the Italian media.

Speaking during an interview with TMW Radio, Ivano Bordon explained that a win for Inter would be a big step in the standings, given it would put them seven points ahead of the Rossoneri with a game in hand where they could make it 10 points.

“It takes a big step forward in the standings and picks up morale even if it is already high. It would be an injection of confidence, they would be further aware that the finish line may be close even if it is still a bit missing.

“I think Inzaghi’s team is in a very good moment, Milan have some more difficulties related to injuries. It will be the usual match that will give a show.”

Ivano Bordon did have praise for Stefano Pioli’s side, stating that they play good football but much will depend on the fitness of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is unlikely to start the game due to injury.

“They are a good team, they play well. Much also depends on Ibra and his eventual recovery. Without him, they lose his skills.”

Ivano Bordon was clearly impressed by Inter’s dealings in the January transfer window where they signed Robin Gosens and Felipe Caicedo.

“Gosens is a very good player and I think he will be useful. Caicedo is well known by Inzaghi who knows the value of the player; maybe when Correa comes back there will be a lot upfront and I don’t know if Caicedo will have a lot of space.”

Inter wants to sign Sassuolo duo Gianluca Scamacca and Davide Frattesi in the summer and Ivano Bordon feels they would be good in the Inter squad.

“They are Italians who are proving to be valid and could be very useful in a squad like Inter’s.”
