Is there any team in Italy that can genuinely contest against Inter Milan? Current Azzurri manager, Cesare Prandelli, believes that AS Roma can be regarded as true anti-Inter contenders.

Like the Community Shield in England has proven itself to be since the past three years, the result between Inter Milan and AS Roma this weekend might have a great impact on the 2010/2011 Italian Seria A season which will get underway next week.

Briefly making his point, Cesare Prandelli explained while speaking to La Stampa:

 

“For the [Italian Seria A] championship, I do not think that there are alternatives to Inter. Allegri has demonstrated that he can teach valuable and profitable football. I would say that there is belief in Milan.

“At Juventus, there is still a lack of quality. But, if the group follows Del Neri to the death, then they could cause a scare.

“However, Roma remain the fiercest anti-Inter challengers.”

Will the Giallorossi prove Cesare Prandelli’s point when they take on Inter Milan on Saturday in the Italian Super Cup?
