Chiellini: We Need A Miracle To Overtake Inter

Giorgio Chiellini says that Juventus require a minor miracle to finish above Inter this season, while he also explains how happy he is to be a Bianconero.

The ex-Fiorentina man was close to moving to Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Manchester City after a disagreement with the club in the summer, but in the end he remained at Juve.

“I am happy to have stayed a Bianconero,” Chiellini told Tuttosport.

“If I’d have moved clubs I would have committed a big mistake.”

The 23-year-old has since switched into the centre of defence and has been in outstanding form alongside the re-born Nicola Legrottaglie.

Juventus are going well in third position in Serie A, however they still find themselves eight points behind runaway leaders Inter.

“Realistically to finish above Inter will be difficult and will require a minor miracle because the Nerazzurri have shown their superiority,” Chiellini explained.

“However we want to keep going and earn a place in the Champions league and then in life you never know what could happen.”

Chiellini will next be in action on Saturday night as Juventus travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face struggling Lazio.
