Inter Milan hero Juan Sebastian Veron insists they can still win the Scudetto this season.
Inter have surrendered the Serie A leadership in recent weeks to AC Milan.
Veron told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Inter are stronger than Milan, in terms of the group, in terms of individuality and technical qualities. And they are also stronger of all the other potential opponents.
"I see a complete team in every department and consequently I believe they are the main candidate for the Scudetto.
"(Marcelo) Brozovic? In Inter he is the perfect metronome. Set the maneuvers, sew the web of passes, start the game, pressing action and helps in the defensive phase. I have heard that the problem of the Nerazzurri is not to have a replacement for Brozovic, but do you know anyone who has the same characteristics? For the quality and quantity of the game produced he is one of the best directors around."
