Roma Keep Feet on the Ground Before Inter Clash

Once the Premiership already witnessed 2 major stunners this weekend, it is now time for Italy to see two of their best squads fight for supremacy. And the two sides to meet this Wednesday are Inter Milan and AS Roma. The match will get under way at Olimpico Stadium and it will most likely determine the new (or same) leader of Serie A.

Although holding the 100% winning record this season, AS Roma coach, Luciano Spaletti, admitted that Inter has a much better team than Roma. Of course, the technician
praised his squad for the great season so far - they beat Shakhtar 4-0 in the Champions League also - and warned Totti & Co that Inter is a better organized team.

"Let's just keep our feet on the ground. You can't afford to get carried away after two games. Of course we will do our best, and the team is more mature than it was a year ago. But Inter and AC Milan have a little bit extra compared to us", admitted Spaletti in a Gazzetta Dello Sport interview.

Moreover, the Roman coach reminded the journalists that Roma, despite their great football so far, lost the only match that counted this start of the season - 4-3 against the same Inter: "So far this season we lost the only match that had a title riding on it. Therefore we can't be as great as people keep telling us. And when there's an atmosphere of high expectation like this it becomes as hard to deal with the victories as with the defeats".

As far as Inter Milan goes, Roberto Mancini's side has had a poor week. After surprisingly losing to Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in the Champions League opener, Inter failed to please the fans with a convincing Serie A performance. In Round 2 opener, Inter squeezed a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria at home, after trailing the visitors for more than 45 minutes.
