The ‘Special One’ is looking ahead to the new season and he is
confident of success. Inter take on Sampdoria in Genoa this evening
and the Nerazzurri are hoping to get off to the right start as they
begin their title defence.
Mourinho believes that his side will be chasing the leading pack
over the course of the season but then they will surge through to
power over the finish line in first.
“Our marathon will begin at the Luigi Ferraris and we will have the
usual runners alongside us,” Mourinho told La Gazzetta Dello
Sport.
“Juve, Roma, Milan and Fiorentina will be in front with a 500 metre
advantage.
“In April there will be three leaders, one will drop out leaving us
and another leading in May.
“The start in Genoa is important and difficult because Sampdoria
only lost twice last year at home therefore there won’t be any
drama’s if we go back home with a draw.
“However, having said that, we are going there to win three points,
that’s clear.”
Inter have been outstanding in pre-season and they will be hoping
to get their title defence up and running against Walter Mazzarri’s
men.
