Vieri: “I expect an entertaining championship until the end. Juve protagonist? I expected it”

Speaking to the Sports Dailythe former centre forward Christian Vieri he laid out the cards for the new Serie A after the first 270 minutes of play and with the break for the national teams that gave a surprising and impressive success to Spalletti’s Azzurri: “The first matches are difficult because you have little time to train, especially after the summers with the big tournaments. It’s not even easy to play in such heat. Inter and Juventus did well, Milan is still a bit behind. Napoli themselves started badly and then got two victories. I predict an entertaining championship until the end. On the third day they all have time to recover”, said the former centre forward of Inter, Juve, Milan and Lazio, among others.

Did you expect Juventus to be so active on the market?
“Yes, because a club like that wants to win, not just participate. It wants to play in the Champions League, maybe not win it but still be there fighting. The same goes for Inter or Milan. They have to make their qualities count.”

Is it quite normal, on the other hand, that Inter moved less?
“They already had a very important squad and still took Taremi and Zielinski. Quality players. They didn’t need it that much. The others certainly had more.”
