DiCanho: Naples strongest Serie A and Inter Milan are following closely behind, Juventus is returning to competitiveness

Dicagno, who serves as a guest at Sky Sports, talked about the situation of the Serie A championship this season in an interview.

After the summer transfer period ends, what are the current strength rankings of each Serie A team?

Each team has introduced some important players, but only a few teams have introduced suitable main players. I think Naples is in the lead because when you win the championship last season and keep the relationship between the coaching team, the coach and the club, then you can always keep moving forward. Naples found this continuity and only needed some targeted supplements.

Did Naples succeed?

Yes, maybe they are the only team that immediately introduced European-level stars who can play the main players. Coach Conte stayed because he knew his request could be met. For example, De Bruyne, although he had to adapt to a new environment completely different from Manchester City at this age, he was a champion player who could control the game. After Lukaku was injured, Naples also immediately signed and quickly signed Hoylen, which was the best choice in the transfer market at that time because no other better candidate was found at that price. This is an important signing, Hoylen is familiar with Italian football, young and has excellent physical fitness.

Which team is behind Naples?

Inter Milan. They need to get back their hunger and they lacked this attitude in some key games last season, such as the Milan derby, and the losses to Juventus and Lazio. Inter Milan performed well in the Champions League because the players motivated themselves, but they lacked fighting spirit in the Serie A last season. Coach Zivo is bringing changes to demand more straight passes, which is right because Inter has players who are active in running and capable of plugging in. Now players need to cooperate with the coach's tactical changes. Some say Inter still lacks signings, but they have already brought in new players in every position. Diouf and Susic have rich experience despite their youth, F-Esposito (he is strong) and Boni are excellent strikers, and Akanji is also the best replacement for Paval after leaving the team. Where is Juventus?

They are still a little behind, but I like this Juventus. Coach Tudor is a rigorous and serious person, working hard, never making excuses, and will let everyone participate, and his management of Vlahovic proves this. Maybe he didn't bring a gorgeous football style, but he was pragmatic and his team was becoming competitive again. There may be difficulties in the Champions League, but Juventus can cause trouble for every opponent in Serie A.

What improvements did Juventus have compared to last season?

First, Bremer returned from injury, and Juventus also had many choices on the offensive line. For example, Openda, who is a unique player and can make a difference in Serie A. We all see his performance in the Champions League last season against Inter Milan and Juventus. He is a player who can break the deadlock in the last 40 meters and can change the game if he can quickly integrate into the team and come out in good shape, provided Tudor will not allow him to show off his skills as he did when playing in Leipzig. Oponda plays in the same position as Ildez, but I think he can adapt as needed and be a starter like Jonathan David. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of Vlahovic, who stayed at Juventus and performed well in the opening stage of the season and was able to play a role.

What will happen to Juventus' Serie A against Inter Milan this weekend?

This is a really fierce game, but it will also depend on how the players of both teams come back from the national team.

Naples, Inter Milan, Juventus... So where is Milan ranked?

We will see that Milan has introduced a key player like Rabiot, bringing balance to the midfield, which is what Allegri requires, a player who can destroy the opponent's attack and drive the ball to counterattack. Milan has not had such a player before. Modric is 40 years old and can only put him in front of the defense line, relying on his organization and skills, not his speed. But Rabiot can play a role in this area and help the team through his powerful breakthroughs. However, Milan's transfer this summer is still somewhat disappointing. They wanted Vlahovic at first, then considered Hoylen, and then Hader, but eventually signed Nkunku... The characteristics of these forwards are not similar.

Will Cuomo become the dark horse in Serie A this season?

I think they will bring fun, and may be like Brighton in the Premier League, sometimes they can compete with strong teams, sometimes they will suffer a crushing defeat, and eventually they are expected to enter the top eight.

What is the situation in Turin?

They have tried their best in the transfer market and I think they end up having enough players like Simeone Jr. We need to see how Coach Baroni can motivate the team in such a pride-filled environment.
