Zoff “Too early to say who owns the championship”

ROME (ITALPRESS) – “It is still too early to say who is the master of the championship. Napoli has to shake off some rust from last year, but they come up with the big ones. Inter enjoys the favor of prediction, because they won and have a great roster. Then there is Milan and Juventus, which seems to me very cautious, but effective. Prudence always brings advantages, in every sphere of life.” Thus Dino Zoff, captain of the 1982 World Cup champion national team and Italian soccer legend, guest on “Radio Anch’io Sport,” on Rai Radio 1, on the start of Serie A and Conte’s Napoli leading the standings after six days. “Juve is a team that can certainly develop a lot going forward. If it is so cautious that it does not take goals, I think that is an advantage, so far it has shown that. There have been moments of games that I could have played too. Of big engagements there have not been. Inter comes from winning the championship, something superficial does. Everything is evolving, indeed it can be interesting the future development of these teams so new, different, to be studied,” Zoff added. “Napoli without cups, will it be a decisive factor? The great teams get to the bottom in the cup and in the league. The games are many, but with today’s roses you can do it. It’s bad to think that you can choose between league and cups: then you win neither one nor the other. You always have to try to play your best,” the former goalkeeper and former Azzurri coach said again. “There are many teams still looking for an identity. Lazio has a fairly clear direction, it is further ahead than the others. Baroni is doing more than well, he brings an important wealth of experience. For the others, there have been so many changes on the bench, evaluations need to be made further down the road,” Zoff pointed out. “Caprile has presented himself well, for the little that has been seen it seems to me that he is a guy who can do well. To get there, to replace Meret in a top team like Napoli, means he has the personality. The start is promising,” continued the former goalkeeper and former Azzurri coach.Finally, on De Rossi’s exoneration, “I don’t want to get into these things, because you don’t know things well. I don’t want to take sides, there are responsibilities on everyone’s part. I have no certainties, I don’t put my mouth.”- photo Image -(ITALPRESS).
