Our widest gap against them that season was 4 pts, during round 19 and round 23. By round 30 Milan actually had a wider gap against us (6 pts). We managed to close that gap but there was not enough time, plus Milan was just too lucky towards the end of season.
Yeah, one could argue that his first title with Milan was more due to Inter's decline and Ibra brilliance than anything. Also don't forget his contribution to Juve success by insisting on pushing out Pirlo to a rival.
If we count only Serie A matches from 2012, these are the H2H records vs Juve:
Inter 2-8 Juve
Napoli 3-10 Juve
Milan 2-12 Juve
Roma 4-9 Juve
Lazio 1-12 Juve
Fiorentina 2-11 Juve
We draw against them a lot but Roma actually have the best records. Milan and Lazio are just :palm:
Problem is Rafinha's finishing is garbage compared to Nainggolan. Playing him as AM means we'll probably sacrifice a crucial scoring threat.
That said, I think his departure is the main reason Perisic's underperforming atm. If we can afford him rotating with N9 then we'll have more alternatives...
With our display against Juve, I'm not excited at all. That's not how a leader should play.
Also I don't understand your reasoning here. Napoli is starting to show their issues in recent matches. Of course if we're talking about the Scudetto, it's much better for us that Juve lose as many as...
I can see that Handa is not leader material, maybe he himself didn't want to captain. He doesn't seem to speak much and his charisma is rarely seen on the field. He retired early from the NT and with all his talent, he chose to stay at Inter. I think he's someone who just want to play football...
I guess we can already say goodbye to Scudetto. Since 94-95, all champs have conceded no more than 4 losses (except Juve 12-13 with 5 losses). We're only half way and already lost to 4 teams.
Juve also have 4 losses but they're in a better position and form than us, and Napoli only lost twice...
