Inter Milan coach Mourinho sets Scudetto points target

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho says they're 20 points away from securing another Scudetto.

"We are very satisfied with today's win. I have always said it is better to be leaders than chasing, because this gives you the relaxed knowledge you only have to focus on your own result," he said after a 3-0 demolition of Reggina.

"A few weeks ago I said we were missing 29 points to secure the Scudetto, but now it is 20. That is our privilege to win important home games and go into the break with this advantage."

Serie A takes a week off for international duty and the Nerazzurri are seven points clear of Juventus.

"Juve have nothing more than us, if anything they are seven points less. This is the objective way of looking at it.

"Juventus fight and struggle together as a team, but they are not more of a 'team' unit than Inter. We are together at all times and can face any obstacle. For example, I've never seen a side with nine different pairs of central defenders in one season.

"We got off to a great start today and could've sealed it after 30 minutes. Reggina played their game and Julio Cesar needed some very difficult saves. A 3-0 scoreline might make some think he was on vacation, but that's not the case."
