Luciano Spalletti has no doubts about who the favorite for the scudetto is. Interviewed by Sportmediaset, the Juve coach indicated Inter as the team to beat this season. Spalletti‘s words acknowledge the strength of the Nerazzurri and the advantage they built in the transfer market.
“I don’t want to pass the buck or put more attention on us. Inter is a strong team and they have shown it,” declared the Bianconeri coach. “They are in a position to win again after a transfer market that was right to strengthen themselves. The others had to catch up, while they were there watching after having the margin to finish the market earlier.”
The comparison with the work done at Juventus highlights the difficulties faced. “We had to get involved in some opportunity contexts, bringing home nine new players, despite the limitations. For the level of football they have played and the leagues they come from, for our new signings it can be easy to fit in. They can give us competition and quality,” he explained.
On the best players in Serie A, Spalletti mentioned several names. “Malen is a player who has aroused curiosity in many. Besides the goals he has scored, he attacks the space 30 times with strength and frequency, he is a strong player. Then there are other very strong ones. We have Yildiz who in my opinion is the strongest.”
The reference to Lautaro Martinez brought back memories of his time at Inter. “Lautaro was a kid when I coached Inter, but he was already showing all his qualities. When I decided to start him, he had a small injury.” Among the others mentioned were Di Lorenzo, coached during his time at Napoli, and Nico Paz, who has shown interesting qualities.
