Gianfranco Zola gets off the hook on the Scudetto fight and super Champions
Gianfranco Zola expounds on the Scudetto fight and the Champions League
During an interview with the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", Gianfranco Zola, among the various topics discussed, dwelt on the Scudetto struggle in Serie A and who has the best chance of going ahead in the super Champions League among Inter, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Bologna.
"In Italy è the quality of play has improved: they play more offensive and proactive soccer, they look for results more through play than in the past, when they relied a lot on tacticism and the defensive phase, which at the moment pays a little less. In Europe, besides Inter, I think that Atalanta is also super-equipped to go ahead in the Super Champions. Clearly, the teams that do better in Serie A have an advantage, but in the European cups you play at a higher level" debuted the former Cagliari player.
"I always give whoever wins the championship in Italy a slight advantage. Inter è a team that has a square and has not made technical or tactical upheavals, so that advantage still has it. I believe forò that this year will be an extremely competitive league, they are all fierce. Based on the first day, the only one that lived up to expectations and gave continuity of results è Atalanta" continued the former Chelsea coach.
"Juventus è started well and can è do important things. I like it a lot, even just as a team conformation. It has valuable youngsters mixed with experienced players, they have a good idea of the game. It's a team that inspires confidence" continued the former West Ham coach.
"Milan have built a very competitive squad, but we have to see how they will adapt to Paulo Fonseca’s mentality. These are things that will needà time" added the former Parma man.
"It's still early to pass judgement on Napoli, also becauseè when you have Antonio Conte on the bench the accounts always add up in the end. Surely the Verona knockout è was unexpected, but è a team still under construction that has yet to recover its central striker. I am not worried in the least about the defeat on the debut, and I am sure that the partenopei will be among the teams that can threaten Inter for the final victory" concluded Gianfranco Zola.
