[Costacurta]

No, I wasn't, and am not, joking. As a Milan fan, naturally, I want us to win the title, and more so given certain players retirement, however, it does not stop me from thinking calmly and rationally.

Inter made a number of excellent signings. There squad is massively improved. In contrast, we have lost 3 of our most important players, of era-defining quality. We have not replaced any of them adequately. We are considerably weaker now.

If that wasn't enough, the momentum, and for the first time in years, the belief is with Inter that this is their year, no more self-doubting. I cannot beleive anyone in our squad is optimistic.

Finally, as if they not only have a very strong team now that will be more than a challenge to cope with, we have an 8-point penalty. We may find that we would have won without such a penalty, becuase the season will be close, but with it, no, I'm afriad it's extremely hard.
