Hernanes believes Inter are almost equal with Juventus in terms of quality, and insists his side can challenge for silverware.
The Brazilian maestro is adamant the Nerazzurri can still have a respectable end to this season; the former Lazio star also expressed his reasons, on why he switched to wearing the blue and black colours of the Beneamata.
“The Inter shirt is a powerful one,” he told Italian national sports newspaper, Corriere dello Sport. “This is a serious and important club.
“In terms of quality, I think we’re nearly on par with Juventus. In my life, I’ve always believed that you can do a lot despite having little, but here we have a lot, so I’m sure we can win.
“I came here to win and that’s what I want to do. In the next two or three years I want to lift the Scudetto with Inter.
“When I heard that [Inter coach Walter] Mazzarri wanted me, I was pleased because it’s always nice to hear that a coach is a fan of yours.
“Teams that aren’t AC Milan or Inter or Juventus can’t fight for the title, and that annoyed me at Lazio.
“I have some wonderful memories of Lazio, but I’m an Inter player now.
“I believe fourth place is still possible. Fiorentina have the Europa League to think about, but we can just concentrate on the league.”
