Capello: Juventus cannot catch Inter Milan unless...

Former Juventus coach Fabio Capello believes this season's Scudetto is Inter Milan's to lose.

Capello says the Nerazzurri's squad is simply far superior than anyother in the country.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Juventus' victory against Roma is important, it shortens the distance at the top, but I stand by my opinion: regardless of the ranking, I still don't see a real head-to-head.

"For me, Inter are still only competing on themselves: if they play as they know how, and if extraordinary and unpredictable events don't happen, (Simone) Inzaghi's team is the favourite, simply because they are stronger.

"Of course, (Max) Allegri still talks about the Champions League objective, but he believes in the Scudetto and he is right to believe in it: Juve's DNA, which I know well, says so, his team will fight until the end. And they can only get better.

"A variant to consider, especially if Inter were to move forward in Europe. But, as mentioned, the Nerazzurri squad is more varied. The turnover is important with all these commitments, as long as it is not as drastic as Inzaghi did in the last few Champions League games.

"Rather than changing seven or nine in one fell swoop, it's better to limit yourself from the start and use the changes: there are five, that's a lot...."
