Former AC Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini has said that Inter can get back into the Serie A title race after their performances against Barcelona, according to a report in the Italian print media.
Speaking during an interview with Tuttosport, Massimo Ambrosini showed a lot of faith in the Nerazzurri who he clearly feels could still be in for a successful season.
He suggested that the Barcelona draw on Wednesday showed a different mentality from the Inter players that has not yet been seen this season.
“From a technical point of view that Inter were strong, there was no doubt.
“The first part of this season had shown how we had to climb a step up on a mental level. And the Barcelona match demonstrated this psychological unlocking.
“It’s true that the Nerazzurri had slipped a bit in the game, but the priority was to fix the approach to the season and the competition.”
He continued to dissect Inter’s time in the Champions League so far and explained how the group was effectively boiled down to the two games against Barcelona which Inter took four points from.
“I thought they could play it a lot more than people were saying. The Nerazzurri exploited and understood Barcelona’s flaws.
“Considering the other two opponents, Bayern Munich and Viktoria Plzen, the group, for opposite reasons, could almost be reduced to the double challenge against the Blaugrana.”
He then moved on to talk about the Serie A title race and he explained that he thinks Inter can still play a role in it as they are not as far behind as Juventus are.
“We are in a phase of the championship where distances can be bridged. Inter are not as far behind as Juventus is.
“The Nerazzurri can legitimately, without even going the distance, get back into the title fight. Juve? It has run out, or almost run out, of bonuses.”
