Marcello Lippi brands http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and Juventus as genuine title contenders: Serie A news
Former Italian national team manager, Marcello Lippi, believes Juventus and Napoli are real Scudetto contenders.
Both clubs have had a great start to their 2011/12 campaign and the Turin giants lead the league table after five games played thus far. Lippi, who has managed both teams in the past, is delighted with the emergence of both as
genuine title contenders.
The veteran tactician believes that the ongoing league campaign will be much more competitive this time around as a lot of teams have strengthened their squads during the summer. The 63-year-old believes that five or six teams
will fight it out for the top honour as Inter Milan, A.C Milan and Udinese and A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 have all got the squads to win the league.
While talking to the reporters, Lippi said, "I think Juventus and Napoli will both fight to win the title this season. However, Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 and Udinese are also there. Udinese never cease to amaze me. Roma have an excellent project
and champions like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940."
The Turin giants made a lot of reinforcements to their squad during the summer and also installed a new manager in the form of Antonio Conte. The Old Lady has been in superb form since the start of the season and is one point ahead
of Napoli in the league table.
After a wonderful last campaign, Walter Mazzarri’s men continue to amaze everyone with their delightful attacking football. The Azzurri have picked up 10 points from their opening five games and above all, they have beaten former
Italian Champions, A.C Milan and Inter Milan, comprehensively in their recent games.
Milan and Inter both have had a disappointing start to their seasons and have picked up 5 and 4 points respectively thus far. On the other hand, Udinese have had a dream start to their season and are placed second in the league
table level on points with Juventus. Nobody expected Francesco Guidolin’s men to make such an impact after losing some of their key players during the summer.
