Inter Milan coach Jose' Mourinho was unfazed by Sunday night's 1-0 defeat at Napoli that left AC Milan, 3-0 winners over Palermo, seven points behind the Serie A leaders with five games to play.
''We just need three more wins,'' Mourinho said.
''One loss is certainly not going to unsettle us. I'm optimistic and relaxed,'' said the ex-Chelsea boss, who is bidding to stretch predecessor Roberto Mancini's three-scudetto streak.
But pundits recalled that Juventus - which dropped two points behind Milan to third after a 2-2 draw at bottom club Reggina Sunday - had a 9-point edge over pursuers Lazio in 2000 and lost the title to the Romans on the last day of the season.
However, experts say Inter has by far an easier run-in than Milan: Lazio at home, Chievo away, Siena at home, Cagliari away and Atalanta at home; compared to Catania away, Juventus at home, Udinese away, Roma at home and Fiorentina away.
Milan has made up seven points in three games but coach Carlo Ancelotti says: ''Inter is uncatchable''.
