Do Inter have enough to challenge Juventus?


 Well, Mazzarri has had a perfect start with Inter who have been going through a renovation in recent times. Since the departure of Mourinho, Inter have been on a steady decline all the way from the Champions League to....the Europa League. Now, bringing in the maestro that worked his magic with Napoli...taking them to SECOND, Inter may be SLOWLY coming back.

This weekend will not show whether or not they can win the league or not. Cast your mind back to the great winning streak that Juventus had where it seemed no team could beat them. Then who comes and does the business? Inter....

So if Inter beat Juventus, it won't say a lot...but it will give Inter some belief that with a new manager and a new approach, they may be heading in the right direction. The way Juventus have either been thrashing guys or grinding out wins like they did against Sampdoria, it just seems they are destined for another title. However, there is ONE component that I believe can give Inter a REALISTIC chance.

Milan have it with Balotelli and with Milito playing a reserve game, if they can get HIM back, then they will be dangerous. Because in my opinion, Milito is the best finisher that Argentina have. Rarely does he miss an opportunity and if Inter are to even have any hope, they will need him. It will be up to Mazzarri to really try and help Diego rediscover his golden form that he had under Mourinho.

I am very much looking forward to the match this weekend as the calciopoli history that the two clubs share adds that extra spice to things. So let's see how far Inter are behind Juventus, or if they will go out and prove that they are determined to NOT make the Serie A a ONE-horse race.
