Italian journalist Marco Bucciantini believes that at this stage of the season the most important thing for Inter will be having the right positive attitude.
Speaking to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, Bucciantini stressed that in his view this kind of positive mentality will be more important than physical condition for the final weeks of the season.
The Nerazzurri face six more matches in Serie A as well as the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against AC Milan and potentially a final before their season is through.
In both competitions Inter’s fate is very much up in the air, with only the slenderest of advantages in the Scudetto race and their Coppa Italia hopes likely to come down to fine margins in knockout matches.
Bucciantini predicts that the Nerazzurri will be relying on their mental condition more than their physical one to determine how successful their final push is in their remaining matches.
“What counts is the positive mentality and Inter are showing it after their victory in Turin,” he said, “we had said that they had won without proving they’re back in form, now they’re flying.”
“Positivity is more important than physical fitness,” he added. “Milan and Inter appear to me like two cyclists who have come out of the last corner well, they’re improving.”
