Capello: The favorites in Serie A are Napoli and Inter Milan and Juventus, and Zivo needs to motivate players

In an interview, Italian coach Capello talked about the situation of the Serie A championship in the new season and the situation of several major Serie A giants.

The new season has begun. What do you think of Juventus?

I pay great attention to Juventus. With the help of Bremer and Gatti, Juventus has restored its defensive ability and has a solid foundation. At the same time, it has increased its energy by introducing new forwards such as Jonathan David and Openda. This is a well-built team that meets the coach's requirements, after all, Tudor has the opportunity to better understand the players during this summer's Club Cup. There is also Vlahovic, who, although he is a substitute, is eager to prove his worth as long as he appears.

Is Juventus ready to win the Serie A championship?

I must admit that I have improved Juventus' ranking a little compared to previous predictions. Napoli is the favorite to win the championship, followed by Inter Milan and then Juventus.

Juventus will face Inter Milan at home in Serie A this weekend. This will be an opportunity for Inter Milan to prove that he has escaped the crushing defeat in the Champions League final last season, and it is also an important test for Juventus, proving that he is capable of competing for the championship.

Inter Milan invites new coach Ziwo to start a new cycle, but Inter Milan maintains most of the players in the original lineup. You have faced a similar situation in Milan. How did you succeed at that time?

I coached Milan after Sachi, and I brought the players together and said to them: "Everyone said you are exhausted and exhausted. Let them change this view now." Inter Milan must also motivate players in this way, so that we critics can take back what they say, and players must have the will to rekindle their fighting spirit.

Can Naples remain competitive in the new season's two-front battle?

The Champions League is so important in terms of economy and reputation, and everyone wants to play well. Conte has two candidates in every position in the lineup, and his good relationship with Chairman DeLaurentis is a decisive factor. Naples' lineup is complete, maybe Lukaku's injury will lose something, let's see how Hoylen will replace him.

The two champion veterans Modric and De Bruyne join Serie A this summer. Is this a bit counter-trend?

I don't think so, Italian football is slow, and it is not difficult for them to stand out.

What do you think of this Milan?

I think this Milan team is the same as the Italian national team: the midfield lacks defense, the defender watches the ball but not the person, and when the ball is lost, there are few players returning to defense and the speed is also very slow.

Isn't Milan's signings this summer convinced you?

A team is like a tree, with a backbone: a solid central defender, a midfielder who can defend and organize, and a forward who can score goals. I think Milan lacks more than one element in these aspects, but Allegri is a smart coach and he will find a solution.

Inzaghi Jr. once led Inter Milan to the Champions League final twice in three years. For Ziwo, the Champions League is like a peak that needs to be climbed?

Yes, but Inter Milan has this potential. Of course, the coach first needs to restore the formerly very important players, such as Cialhanoglu, who is currently a little confused on the court.
