Marcelo Lippi sees a lot of equality in the fight for the Italian league. With Inter, Milan, Roma and Juventus separated by only 8 points, the former coach of the ‘azzurra’ predicts a great battle to win the final title.
“From this championship everything is to be expected, it is a championship that started abnormally without preparation, with teams forced to carry out controls during the competition,” he commented on Radio Anch’io Sport.
For Lippi, there will be 4 or 5 contenders for the final crown, including Juve and Napoli, who still have a match pending. “From Inter’s 50 points to Roma’s 43 … if Napoli wins, or Juventus gets 45. Four or five will fight the ‘Scudetto’ until the end. There are many games and the coaches take advantage of the day after the game to refresh themselves and then have one day to prepare for the next.
The veteran Italian coach believes that Inter, Juve and Milan have a better chance of succeeding by having great scorers. “The teams that have these champions like Romelu Lukaku, Cristiano Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic have a good chance of staying at the top because they make the difference,” he said.
Lippi commented on the brawl between Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and Antonio Conte last week. “The fight between Agnelli and Conte? Things that happen in the field. When you play such an important game there is a very tense mood. It can happen that one more word gets away, but it is clear that there are disagreements and problems that stem from the past.
Finally, the transalpine coach expressed the situation of Chinese football. “In China in this period there is a slightly exaggerated westernization that the government does not like. Many businessmen take money out of China (with signings), they don’t like it and there is a cut. They do not look favorably on these big contracts that are given to coaches and signings. Despite this, there has not been a great advance in soccer in China, especially in this period of Covid-19 ”.
