The former Real Madrid midfielder has gone on to quash any suggestions that the quality of the current Scudetto holders is far greater than the Milanese clubs.
During the past few years, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan have lost their supremacy in European football and also in the Serie A. They failed to go through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season and barely managed to make it to the qualifiers of the
Europa League.
The squad does not resemble the same squad that conquered Europe by storm in 2010 under Jose Mourinho, and key players have all but moved on from the club. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Walter-Samuel-c36618, and etcetera have aged while other prolific
players like Samuel Eto’o and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897 have moved onwards to different clubs.
The financial crunch has affected the clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 to a great extent and they are not in the same position like before to entice the players to the Serie A. This can be seen by the massive exodus from Serie A, and the Italian clubs have been labelled as
feeder clubs for the more cash rich clubs of Europe.
Evidence of this can be seen from the fact that AC Milan had to part with two of their best players because of a 60 million Euros joint bid. Silvio Berlusconi cited the fact that the club would be saving around 150 million Euros from the sale of the two
players as justification for the sale.
Inter Milan have tried to strengthen their squad in the limited budget they have had, and Sneijder believes that the situation has been blown out of proportion. He further remarked:
“I don’t think that Juventus are that much stronger than us or other sides. People said that Milan were in pieces, but they have good players.”
He remarked that there were other contenders for the title too, and did not discount the threat of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, and continued by mentioning:
“We are in the hunt, there is Napoli and Roma. Juventus are champions and favourites, but we can beat them.”
It will be a highly competitive season as Napoli and Roma have made quality changes to their side.
