Lippi expects tight title race
Monday 24 November, 2008

Italy boss Marcello Lippi insists that the Scudetto race is still wide open, despite Inter's six-point lead.

The reigning champions seem to be in control again after beating rivals Juventus to consolidate their power.

But Azzurri tactician Lippi doesn't believe that the title race will be a stroll for the Nerazzurri.

“With respect to everyone, I don't believe that the League title has been decided yet,” Lippi said on Sky Sport Italia.

“The championship will go down to the wire. I also think that Roma can continue picking up the wins and will achieve something positive.”

In recent weeks there has been much debate over whether Serie A appeals to foreign audiences.

“Forget about Inter-Juve, I think the great game was Fiorentina-Udinese,” Lippi said.

“It was a spectacular match and it could have finished 8-4 or 7-3. I think it was the best game of the weekend and it had everything that makes calcio exciting.”
