Crocked AC Milan midfielder Rino Gattuso is convinced they can catch Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

"It will be tough to catch Inter, especially if we keep going in the same fashion as before," Rino admitted in the Corriere dello Sport.

"Inter are a strong side who have dropped just a handful of points over the past two or three seasons.

"They are a very physical outfit and they always use that to their advantage on the pitch.

"However, we have beaten the Nerazzurri in the last two derby clashes.

"We just need to become more consistent because we can't play great football for just four or five games - we must beat the minnows."
