Serie A

Lucio wants more

Inter Milan centre-back Lucio insisted on Friday that the Serie A leaders could have done better despite having got off to a good start this season.
Reigning champions Inter went top of the table in midweek following a commanding 3-1 defeat of Napoli, replacing historic rivals Juventus at the head of the pack.
It was an ominous sign from a team that has dominated Serie A over the last few years, winning four scudetto crowns in a row.
But Lucio, who was sent to Friday's pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Sampdoria by coach Jose Mourinho, says there is still more to come.
"It's been a good start but it could still have been better. I was very happy to be able to begin the year with Inter, how we've begun the season and also to have played every game," he said.
"But the championship is still long, there's many more matches to play and if we give our all every day we'll be able to fulfil our objectives."
One of those will be to retain the Serie A title but with Juventus level on points with the champions, already it looks likely to turn into a two-horse race.
However, Lucio insists it is too early to say who will be competing for silverware come the season's end.
"Without a shadow of doubt Juventus are a quality team and they've shown that but as I said before there's too many matches still to play to start giving predictions.
"There's a rivalry between the two teams because we're both big teams that are fighting for the same end: winning the title," he said.
"Juve are a quality team but Inter are the Italian champions and we'll fight all the way for the title."
Lucio joined Inter in the close season from Bayern Munich and the Brazilian says the change back to a Latin culture from an Anglo-Saxon one is to his liking.
"The main difference between the two populations is the warmth with which they treat those close to them," he said.
"Here in Italy people are happier, more communicative, they like to have fun. That's very different from the Germans who are more serious."
