Inter still favorite to win Scudetto despite Napoli win - Pioli

The Rossoneri won a crucial victory against Napoli last night and returned to the top of the Serie A table.

AC Milan

coach Stefano Pioli emphasized the importance of his side's victory over

Napoli

, but stressed that Inter were still favorite to win the Scudetto.

Last night, Milan managed to defeat Napoli in a difficult match, and Pioli won for the first time in 11 games against Luciano Spalletti, and previously had 3 draws and 7 defeats in his record. This victory was also achieved with the goal of Olivier Giroud and now Milan is at the top of the table with 60 points and with one more game, they have gained 2 points more than Inter. Nevertheless, Pioli still considers

Inter

to be favorite to win the league.

Pioli said:

"These are three important points, we beat a strong side that caused us a lot of problems, because the lads worked so very, very hard off the ball and deserved this victory.

“We have a very attack-minded channel down the left, so if we pay a little in terms of defending, it’s worth the risk for the potential we have going forward there. We tried to be aggressive, Tomori and Kalulu worked really well on Osimhen.

“We wanted an aggressive midfield, but also one with quality, knowing we could find gaps between their lines. We were in the game from start to finish, it was a good performance, but there are more delicate matches coming up.”

“It was a head-to-head, we are satisfied, but nothing has changed from before the game. We still have only one more point than we did at this stage last season, so there’s plenty more to be done.”

“Inter are still the favourites because they are the reigning champions and have a game in hand. They are a very strong team who know what it means to win. The sooner we have a table with all the teams playing the same number of games, the sooner we’ll be able to judge.”
