Jovetic: Inter will beat Juventus for the fans

Stevan Jovetic wants to please Inter's fans by taking three points from the Derby d'Italia clash with Juventus on Sunday.

Roberto Mancini's team were knocked off top spot in Serie A by Fiorentina in the previous round of fixtures but still hold an eight-point advantage over their Turin-based rivals.

"Physically, I'm fine and I'll be ready to play. We will have to be careful as they are a good team and I do not trust those who talk of a crisis," Jovetic told Tuttosport.

"The fans want us to win against Juventus and we want to please them."

"Before moving to [Manchester] City there was strong interest from [former Juve boss Antonio] Conte," he said.

"In the end I preferred England and absolutely do not regret the choice, even if that adventure didn't go well - [Manchester City coach Manuel] Pellegrini always preferred others to me.

"But there I had the opportunity to fight for the title that we won ... I hope to repeat this with Inter too."

"[Qualifying for] the Champions League is our main objective," he concluded.

"With the Scudetto we will see with time how the situation evolves.

"My dream is to replicate what has been done by my idol Shevchenko in Milan - I want to win everything."
