Giovanni Trapattoni: AC Milan will win Serie A if they beat Inter Milan in the derby – Serie A news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 Trapattoni insists AC Milan will win the Scudetto if they down city rivals Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina on Saturday.
The Italian, who has managed both Milan and Inter, said that the Rossoneri are the favourites to win the clash and believes Massimiliano Allegri has managed the side very well in the ongoing 2010-11 season.
AC Milan are on top of the Serie A table and lead the race for the Scudetto with 62 points. Rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan are just two points behind with 60 points and a win would see them leapfrog their Milan counterparts. Inter have seen an amazing recovery after
Leonardo took over in December 2010 and are back in contention to defend the title after a poor start to the season.
The Italian was all praise for Milan manager Allegri and acknowledged his brilliant contribution to the club in the season. He said that the Rossoneri’s recent poor results have brought their rivals back in the title race and the side winning the derby will
go on to win the Scudetto.
“I like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Max-c24993 Allegri. He has been a wonderful surprise. An illogical team has all of sudden become a title contender thanks to three words: spirit of sacrifice. If Milan want to win the Scudetto they must stop Inter now in the derby,” said Trapattoni.
The former Italy manager added that if Leonardo’s side is able to win the match, it would be impossible to stop them from winning the Italian League. He said that the Nerazzurri are in a great run of form and they have the quality to beat any side.
“If Leonardo overtakes Milan the title race is over. The Nerazzurri would become like those American aircraft carriers that win all the wars – unassailable,” the manager concluded.
Giovanni Trapattoni has managed to win seven Italian League titles in his managerial career with Juventus and Inter Milan. He has also won the UEFA Cup, which is now known as the UEFA Europa League three times. The Italian guided the German giants Bayern
Munich to the domestic double in the 1996-97 season.
