‘Inter, Milan are Scudetto contenders’

By Football Italia staff

Former Italy CT Cesare Prandelli believes Milan and Inter are ‘absolutely’ contenders for the Scudetto.

The pair meet in the Derby della Madonnina on Sunday, with both having invested heavily in new faces this summer.

“They are two teams who have been revolutionised, and two Coaches [Roberto Mancini and Sinisa Mihajlovic] who are winners,” Prandelli told MilanNews.

“It will be very interesting to see what they do tactically, as the two Coaches know each other very well. It will be a match with a lot of goals.

“Are they both Scudetto contenders? Absolutely, yes.”

Prandelli also gave his thoughts on Mario Balotelli, who has returned to Milan on loan after a disappointing spell at Liverpool.

“I’ll always have a lot of affection for Mario, he’s a person with a good heart. I was impressed with what he said when he returned to Italy, when he spoke about fatherhood and losing his father.

“It read like the words of a mature person. That’s what I hope, and that he can fulfil the potential that he has.”
