Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini has tipped his Nerazzurri side to fight for the Serie A title this season. His side are top of the table after defeating city rivals AC Milan on Sunday.
They won both their opening fixtures defeating Atalanta and Carpi before a win against AC Milan helped them to maintained their 100 per cent record thanks to a second-half strike from Fredy Guarin.
While Mancini wasn't totally satisfied with the performance of his side he argued it would be foolish to read too much into the fact that Inter now sit top of the table, with eight points between them and reigning champions Juventus.
"It's not so easy to win the derby in only the third round of the season, when the teams are not at 100 per cent."
"Having said that, we did some good things and other things not so well.
"It's too early to talk about the Scudetto. The league only settles after 12 or 15 games.
"We still have a lot of work to do and then there's Juventus, who are in a false position.
"The Bianconeri, with Roma and Napoli, will be the teams challenging at the end.
"The table doesn't matter much now. The Scudetto race is long, we have work to do.
"As I said last week, big clubs must start out targeting the ultimate prize. Then you need luck, consistency and other things to go your way.
"We are only in week three and football can change in the space of 90 minutes. These results must give us the confidence to carry on this path.
"Other squads are better placed to win the Scudetto, but we are Inter and we must go for it."
