Who is the favourite for the Scudetto? The Bulgarian majority of Italians would say Inter, while for the second place it is a battle. Milan has brought in Morata (and soon Pavlovic), Juventus is still in deep water, Roma is spending a lot, Atalanta has brought in Zaniolo more. However, there is Napoli, who has added two defenders for their rearguard, they still have to give up Osimhen for the turn of the crank that will then bring Lukaku to the court of Antonio Conte. The commander in chief, who has won both with a Juventus coming off an eighth place and with an Inter that had not lifted the Scudetto for ten years.
Now it’s Napoli’s turn, precisely. They finished tenth last season, probably the worst position ever for those who started as Italian Championscertainly in recent times. Nothing has gone well, from Rudi Garcia, delegitimized from the start, to Mazzarri, perhaps no longer suited to the team he himself has built over the years. Then Calzona, perhaps the least bad, but with a team now largely in difficulty.
Winner with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter. Certainly a nice business card to present themselves where they want to return to the top, to win, after a decidedly bad year. The first in the last sixteen years of De Laurentiis. It can happen even in the best families. Today Antonio Conte turns 55.
