Juventus striker, Alessandro Matri, has labelled AC Milan as the favourites for the Serie A title again for the ongoing 2011/12 season despite La Vecchia Signora being the current leaders.
The Lady Killers sit atop the Serie A table with 19 points of 9 games, but Milan are right behind them on the 4th place with 17 points. Juve remain unbeaten in the league so far, while the Diavolo have lost 2 of their 9 games so far.
The striker was recently talking to Studio Sport and revealed that the defending champions have a very strong team are the Scudetto favourites.
“Milan are the champions, they have great players and that is why they are still the favourites for the title,” said the striker. “We just have to concentrate on finishing the campaign in the best position possible. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.”
Although Juve have stayed unbeaten in the top flight, Matri has warned his teammates that their first defeat might be around the corner, when they travel to Naples to face SSC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. However, considering the fact that the Azzurri are also playing in the
UEFA Champions League gives Juve an advantage of having better fitness levels.
“Things are going well and we want to continue on this path. But we have a very important game at Napoli coming up. The fact that Napoli are playing in Europe and we aren’t could be an advantage for us on a physical level, but there are certain games where
motivation helps to get rid of fatigue,” added the hitman.
Matri has scored 4 goals in 8 games so far and is very happy to have the former Juve midfielder, Antonio Conte, as the head coach. Conte has done his work well and has experimented with the revamped Juve squad by using 4-3-3, 4-1-4-1 and 4-4-2 formations
on the field.
Matri claimed that the Bianconeri are giving in their all in training sessions and the team has ambitions to make a top place finish.
