Zeman: Roma moral victors
Saturday 17 May, 2008

Former Roma boss Zdenek Zeman believes Roma deserve the Scudetto, but Inter are “80 per cent” sure of taking it.

“The championship is going down to the wire, but Inter proclaimed themselves Campioni d’Italia at Christmas and when going 11 points clear in February decided to relax,” said the controversial tactician.

Only one point separates the two teams going into the final round and anything could happen come Sunday.

”Roberto Mancini and Luciano Spalletti did not have the same resources at their disposal, both in terms of quality and quantity, so they also had different roles.

“Mancini was more of an organiser, whereas Spalletti was a Coach and with this campaign managed to prove money doesn’t always make the difference. He deserves great credit for that.”

There has been much talk of who ‘deserves’ the Scudetto and Zeman tried not to favour his former club too much.

“If it were a prize for entertainment then yes Roma deserve it, as when in good shape they play the best football in Italy. However, it’s who gets the most points who wins and so far Inter have one more.

“Roma have a 20 per cent chance of taking the title, because anything can happen in 90 minutes of football, but Inter have an 80 per cent shot.”
