Maurizio Crosetti, a journalist for Repubblica, spoke on Scommesse.io addressing the topic of the National Team and the race for the scudetto. The journalist expressed doubts about the management of the FIGC, explaining that there is a lack of a real renewal project. On the return of Roberto Mancini to the bench, Crosetti considers it a cautious choice compared to options like Andrea Pirlo, but he emphasized that something more ambitious would be needed to reignite passion.
Italian football struggles to compete with other sports in terms of enthusiasm. Three consecutive absences from the World Cup weigh heavily, and even the league does not always manage to excite. Crosetti admitted that last season, although dominated by Inter, was not memorable in terms of entertainment.
Regarding the title race, the journalist keeps the Nerazzurri in pole position. “Today I would still say Inter. They were already the strongest team and, at least on paper, they continue to be,” he stated. Crosetti recalled that the transfer market is still open and closes after the start of the league, so every assessment remains provisional. However, at the current state, he considers Inter the main candidate for the scudetto, with Milan and Juventus called to close the gap.
