Ahead of Inter’s Italian Super Cup clash with Roma at the weekend, Lucio has sent out an ominous warning to the European champions’ rivals all around the continent, indicating that the Nerazzurri want a prolonged spell of dominance at the top of the game.
Under Jose Mourinho last season Inter scooped a historic treble, and despite the loss of their talismanic coach to Real Madrid, Lucio believes the Nerazzurri can be just as successful this term.
“You don't expect people to be satisfied,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “In a big club, you are forced to forget successes in a hurry. Those who can't manage that, can't take it at a certain level.”
Looking ahead to the weekend’s game, Lucio is certain that Roma will provide a stern challenge, both over 90 minutes and over the course of the campaign.
“Last season, the Giallorossi were on course for the title with us until the last minute, both in the championship and the Coppa Italia. They are closer to Inter.
“Roma have exceptional technical qualities, as well as expert and talented players, people who know how to suffer.
“I expect a game that's already at a very high level notwithstanding the time of the season.”
At present the Super Cup resides in Rome, though with the Lupi’s arch-rivals Lazio, who beat Inter in Beijing in last year's contest.
