Aldo Serena: "Inter Still the Favorite, Napoli One Step Behind. Curious About Fiorentina"
Former striker Aldo Serena shared his insights with La Stampa ahead of the official start of the Serie A championship, which kicks off tomorrow. He stated, "Inter is still absolutely the favorite, both for the individual qualities of the players and for their tested playing style. The signings of Stones and Spence add international experience."
Inter the Favorite, Napoli Immediately Behind
Serena continued, "Napoli is one step below Inter. In the transfer market, they have done very little, but entrusting the bench to someone with vast experience like Allegri could pay off. I think they will benefit from Conte's work, as happened about ten years ago at Juve." As for Milan, Amorim is now in charge: "One of those 'educator' coaches who need functional players. Some have arrived, and others will leave; among them, I believe Leao will depart."
The 'Others', from Juventus to Fiorentina
The former bomber then moved on to Juventus in his analysis: "They will have to do everything to reach the Champions League spot that eluded them last season. Having Spalletti from the start can certainly provide something more. I would say they are a team for the top four." And Roma? Serena commented, "It won't be easy; the coach will need three to four more players for rotations." He also mentioned Como: "I place them on the same level as Roma." Concluding on Torino and Fiorentina: "The 'Granata' will try to replicate last year and bring some satisfaction to the fans. I look at Fiorentina with great curiosity. They have moved very well in the transfer market, and Kean, unlike last year, can return to the center and have a great season."
