Mauro: “Inter are stronger, but Gattuso and Gasperini can surprise”

Inter are the favourites, but nothing is guaranteed. That is Mauro’s reading of the Serie A title race: in the former player’s view, the Nerazzurri remain stronger overall than their rivals, although the season can still produce unexpected developments. Roma and Lazio also feature in Mauro’s analysis, with both clubs urged not to abandon their ambitions.

The key message concerns the balance of the campaign. Mauro believes Gattuso and Gasperini are coaches capable of changing the hierarchy and taking their teams beyond expectations. Hence the appeal to Roma and Lazio: keep believing, remain competitive and do not take the outcome of the title race for granted. For Inter, the praise for their technical superiority also carries a warning about the need for consistency.

The Nerazzurri enter the break after a 2-0 win over Como, following a 3-0 victory against Feyenoord and a 3-1 defeat to Milan. Their next match is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45, against Gasperini’s side, identified by Mauro as one of the possible surprises. The Champions League meeting with Stuttgart follows.
