Zola believes A.C Milan are favourites for Scudetto and reflects on his Premier League experience
Former Italian and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 striker, Gianfranco Zola, has labelled A.C Milan as favourites to win the 2011/12 Serie A.
Milan won the 2010/11 campaign to end a seven year Scudetto drought and Zola believes that Massimiliano Allegri’s men are strong enough to win it again. The former West Ham United manager believes that Italian giants, Juventus, will also challenge for the title after a dismal last season. The Turin giants had a miserable time in the previous campaign and finished seventh in the league table. The most successful club in the country could not even qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the next season.
The 45-year-old added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027, who are both on the verge of sealing moves to the Old Lady, will be a handy addition to the squad and they will help the club to challenge for trophies next season.
"Milan are favourites for the Scudetto. Then it's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 can fight for the Scudetto too." Zola said
The former Napoli striker added that the next Italian season will be really thrilling, as five or six teams will be competing for the top spot. In the past, the Serie A has been a two horse race between the Milan giants.
Zola also reflected on his time spent in the Premier League as a manager and as a player. The former striker believes it was a great experience for him, as made it him stronger as a person.
"It made me grow as a player and then also as a coach following my nice experience with West Ham. English football is at the forefront now. There is more money there and the results can be seen.

Zola made more than 200 appearances for the former English Champions, Chelsea, during his seven year stay at the club.
