TO TMW Radio the former footballer intervened Fabio Petruzzi. Here are his words:
How do you see the Champions League race?
“Today, Atalanta has something more, but they are dancing that match against Fiorentina. Played today it makes sense, played at the end of the championship it has a different sense. Bologna is struggling now, in the last 4 matches they have drawn three, Juventus It will get there in the end, Roma will play it all against Atalanta in Bergamo. Be careful because Lazio has a calendar where they could even win them all and fit in.”
Atalanta, how do you get to EL?
“Fully loaded, as favourites. Marseille is recovering and must be taken into consideration. Roma-Leverkusen is difficult, the German championship team hasn’t lost in over 40 games. You don’t get to this match very well, with tired players. For Roma can have their say and pass. They want to take revenge, Roma will try and the law of large numbers says that sooner or later they will fall. To achieve a great result in Rome would mean a lot.”
What impressed you about Inter this year?
“The serenity and the intensity. And it’s not easy when you play football to combine quality and intensity. It’s a serene team on the pitch, it plays like in the Premier League. It’s one of the 3-4 strongest teams in Europe. Calhanoglu he’s a very important player now, Dimarco has grown a lot. There’s something to be done for next year.”
What do you think of Lopetegui at Milan?
“I feel that the fans are not happy. I think the Pioli cycle is over, but Milan needs certainties and Lopetegui is not.”
What is Conte’s ideal team?
“Milan or Napoli? They are two great teams. He is also good at changing game systems, but with the 3-5-2 Leao and Kvaratskhelia risk not being at their best.”
