Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar has admitted that he is “scared” by the Nerazzurri’s recent slump as it seems they could let the Scudetto slip.

A month ago the title race seemed to be over with Roberto Mancini’s side running away with the honours, but a disastrous month has seen things turn around.

Inter now lead Roma by just four points after losing the Derby d’Italia to Juventus last weekend and they are showing signs of nerves as they approach Week 31’s trip to the capital to face Lazio.

“Roma are in excellent form, but at the moment it’s not the Giallorossi who are scaring me but Inter,” Julio Cesar admitted to Tuttosport.

“The title is ours to win or lose. We have to stay calm and just talk amongst ourselves – perhaps that is the hardest challenge to overcome.”

Julio Cesar is currently with the Brazil squad awaiting tonight’s friendly away to Sweden.
