TMW
In the long interview given to TMW on the sidelines of the Padel Pro Am Cup event in Viareggio, Gianluca Zambrotta he focused on various topics, also commenting on the progress of the teams up to this point in Serie A: “Did Conte start off strong straight away with Napoli? We all know the coach, he had also done the same at Juventus when he arrived. Napoli to date have only the championship and the Italian Cup, he has two objectives which, given the potential the team has, can play very well. It started badly but has recovered great, at the moment they are the team to beat, also knowing the value of the coach.” .
Is Inter still the favourites? “Yes, it remains the favourite. It’s clear that compared to Napoli it has a more difficult and complicated path because it has the Champions League which is different compared to other years, but the Nerazzurri remain one of the favorite teams to win the championship.”
Chapter Juventus and Thiago Motta. “He chose a young coach, who did well with Bologna and is showing great personality and character. The squad and the team are there, he did very well in the Champions League, perhaps a little more effort in the championship. But compared to the others Over the years we’ve seen a slightly more courageous Juventus, who play openly like for example against Leipzig. In my opinion they can have their say in the championship in the long run.”
How much will Bremer’s absence weigh? And does Cambiaso have anything from Zambrotta? “I never like to make comparisons because every player has his own characteristics. Cambiaso has really grown a lot in recent years, he can play in multiple roles, like me he has this gift of flexibility and for a coach it’s important because it gives you reliability. I’m very happy with what he is doing, I see him from the outside and he is a good guy who works, humble and gives his best. Bremer? I’m sorry, Juve are losing an important piece in defence, Motta will try to find the ideal solution to replace him. I wish him the best of luck for a speedy recovery.”
