To intervene live at TMW Radioduring Maracanawas the former footballer Fabiano Santacroce.

What is the main reason why Atalanta must believe in the Scudetto race after the victory over Napoli?
“The project. Gasperini aside, who is a champion and has demonstrated it for years, the thing that differentiates Atalanta from other teams is the project they have. They have been building players for several years, making them very strong, selling them and he also takes stronger ones. Nothing is done by chance.”

Inter, what feelings did you have from the victory against Venezia?
“He has lost the stability at a defensive level that he had last year. Giving away all those opportunities to Venezia is not a compact Inter that was so appreciated last year. Playing like this against Napoli becomes a roll of the dice.”

What do you add about Inter?
“The choice of Zielinski makes no sense. He’s very strong if he dribbles, while Inter instead runs and grinds out the game. It’s a different thing compared to the Nerazzurri’s game. In terms of quality, maybe he’s the strongest of all, but the ‘Inter is built differently.”

Naples downsized after this knockout?
“No, on the contrary, this knockout only does them some good. I saw much worse play against Milan, Atalanta didn’t play well, they managed to take advantage of the opportunities and that’s it. Playing against Inter is perhaps a good thing, they are the best team to play against now, because they can hurt the Nerazzurri in an open field.”

Milan, mission impossible with Real Madrid?
“Yes, and then he has to let Leao play.”
