Fabio Capello has backed Inter to lift the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico next month, but the former Italy, Milan and Juventus coach has warned that Maurizio Sarriās Lazio will not be straightforward opponents, particularly with the final being played in front of their own supporters.
Writing in La Gazzetta dello Sport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, Capello was effusive about Interās recent form, suggesting the Nerazzurri have rediscovered their very best version.
āInter have become Inter again,ā he said, pointing to the resurgence of Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu as central to the clubās renewed dominance.
Como, by contrast, were described as still lacking the experience required at this level, their youth telling against them in the Coppa Italia semi-final.
Fabio Capello expressed confidence that Inter will win the Coppa Italia final against Lazio.
Capello noted that Lazio, coached by Maurizio Sarri, will be difficult to beat, especially since the final is at their home ground.

With the Scudetto already effectively secured, Capello believes Chivuās side can dedicate proper attention to preparing for the final, though he flagged one potential distraction. ā
The only real danger is that minds drift towards the World Cup given the long wait ahead,ā he said, referencing the summer tournament that looms large for several Inter players.
On Lazioās prospects, Capello was measured.
He acknowledged that Sarriās squad is inferior in depth and overall quality to their opponents, but identified two factors that could narrow the gap.
āSarri has shown he knows how to defend, but the final will be different,ā he said, suggesting a Coppa Italia final demands more than simply sitting deep and absorbing pressure. The home crowd at the Olimpico, however, represents a genuine advantage.
āThe Lazio supporters will be proudly present and that counts for a great deal.ā
His bottom line was clear, Inter should win, but only if they are at full strength. Any significant absentees on the day, Capello cautioned, and the gap between the two sides becomes considerably harder to bridge.
