Zanetti tips Milan to bounce back

Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti predicts AC Milan will not take long to return to winning form after their surprise 2-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Milan lost first spot in the Serie A table to Juventus following Juve’s 2-0 win over Palermo, and Zanetti expects the two Italian giants to fight for the Scudetto right until the end.

“I honestly didn’t expect Milan to lose against Fiorentina, but I think it was hard for them to come to terms with getting knocked out of the Champions League,” Zanetti said.

“They are still a great team, though, and I think they will do battle with Juventus right down to the wire.”

Zanetti spoke of his side’s 2-2 draw against Cagliari, and feels Inter deserved better from the match.

“Looking at the results at other grounds and considering what we did ourselves, maybe we deserved a bit more,” he said.

“We created a lot but we accept the draw, even though it harms our chances. We’re already looking ahead to the next game.”

Inter’s next match is a Serie A game at home against Siena on Wednesday.
