Shevchenko: Derby defeat won't end race for AC Milan
tribalfootball.com - December 11, 2005
AC Milan can afford to lose tonight's derby against Inter, says striker Andrei Shevchenko.
Sheva insists defeat won't end their Scudetto chase: "It's going to be a great game.
"Both teams need to win this encounter and the derby is always a very special clash. But I don't think a defeat would mean we are out of the Scudetto race.
"One thing is clear, if Juve continue to win every game, we can win as many derbies as we like but it will not be enough to catch them.
"But we don't feel inferior to them - or to Inter for that matter.
"It should be Inter who are scared of us considering we are ahead of them."
