Jose Deals Marathon Mind Games Card


The ‘Special One’ is looking ahead to the new season and he is confident of success. Inter take on Sampdoria in Genoa this evening and the Nerazzurri are hoping to get off to the right start as they begin their title defence.

Mourinho believes that his side will be chasing the leading pack over the course of the season but then they will surge through to power over the finish line in first.

“Our marathon will begin at the Luigi Ferraris and we will have the usual runners alongside us,” Mourinho told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“Juve, Roma, Milan and Fiorentina will be in front with a 500 metre advantage.

“In April there will be three leaders, one will drop out leaving us and another leading in May.

“The start in Genoa is important and difficult because Sampdoria only lost twice last year at home therefore there won’t be any drama’s if we go back home with a draw.

“However, having said that, we are going there to win three points, that’s clear.”

Inter have been outstanding in pre-season and they will be hoping to get their title defence up and running against Walter Mazzarri’s men.
