The Bianconeri boss believes that 2011/12 Serie A is not a two horse race between his team and Milan, as the Nerazzurri are also genuine contenders for the Scudetto…
Juventus head coach, Antonio Conte, insists that Inter Milan are still in the title race, and they have the best squad after AC Milan.
The Nerazzurri had a rough start to the season, and back-to-back defeats led to the sacking of head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini. Former Roma boss, Claudio Ranieri, was then given the responsibility to bring Inter back on track,
and they have made a steady progress since then.
Juve and Milan are joint-top in the league standings after 17 games, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 remain eight points behind them in the 5th position. Conte believes that Inter have the quality to overcome the deficit, and they will
become genuine title contenders in few weeks time.
While talking to Tuttosport, the 42-year-old tactician said:
"In my opinion, after AC Milan, Inter are the best-equipped squad in the title race. They have the best team after Milan. Then there's Juventus and the other teams.”
Inter will take on the Italian Champions in their next league, and a win for either side will be key in setting up the pace for remainder of the season.
The Juve boss insisted that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 are also in the race to claim the title this season, and none of them can be ignored.
"There's also Udinese in the Scudetto race, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 deserve to be considered as well, regardless of their loss against Siena, and Roma are still there, too," concluded Conte.
Juventus are yet to lose a game in the ongoing league campaign, and have picked up 37 points from 17 matches played thus far. Udinese are placed third in the table, with only two points behind the Old Lady.
The Lady Killers will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 18 games, as they take on Cagliari at Juventus Arena on Sunday, January 15.
