Lucio: “It will always be difficult”

Inter defender Lucio claims that Inter are still the strongest side in Serie A regardless of what Marcello Lippi says. The Brazilian, however, did admit that Juventus are a good team and could cause them trouble. “Even if Inter won the last few Scudetti that doesn’t mean it will be easy and that we are favourites,” confessed Lucio. “It will always be difficult and perhaps even more now since our rivals will face us with incredible motivation.

“Juventus are in good form at the moment, maybe better than us but that is just a temporary situation. With the start of the season things could change. “Here at Appiano Gentile I have found a nice environment and everybody has made me feel at home.” Lucio also thought that Lippi’s comments were not appropriate. “Considering that he is the boss of La Nazionale the players of the other teams won’t be happy about it. Anyway even if he said that it doesn’t mean he is right and Juve will win.”
