Inter Milan coach Inzaghi insists Juventus clash not a title decider | OneFootball

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi insists it's too early into the season to consider their clash with Juventus being a title decider.

Inter meet Juve today in the Derby d'Italia.

“The championship is at the beginning," Inzaghi said at a press conference. “It's a very important match between two very competitive teams.

“We are aware and we will also have our fans on our side. We must play a great match."

Juve coach Max Allegri has said Inter are 'the favourites' to win the title and Inzaghi admitted it's 'nice' to hear.

“If he says so, a coach I respect so much, it's nice," Inzaghi added. “I could say the same about them, Napoli, Milan and more.

“We want to be protagonists and we will try to do our best."

The coach continued: "Of course, Juventus are our historical rivals.

“We will have to do well to make the match ours. They have recovered all their players, they have excellent results and we must give them great attention.

“We have always held our ground and lost only two games despite playing well, even deserving a different result.

“In Genoa, with one man down, we continued to attack. The progress is good, we have slowed down for a moment, but we are aware and express an excellent football.

“We will try to improve and be more and more a team."
