ROSSI BACKS NAPOLI

The former Lazio and Lecce boss Delio Rossi has said that the Italian Serie A title this season will be fought between Juventus and Napoli because they are the two strong teams in the division.

Delio Rossi has said that both the Milan clubs will be suffering from a number of changes made during the summer transfer window. While AC Milan have lost a number of high-profile and regular first-team players over the summer, Inter Milan have been extremely prudent in making many good quality signings. Even then, they are in the transitional phase according to the former Lazio manager Delio Rossi.

As a result, he has said that Napoli and Juventus will be the two main favourites to win the title this season. He has praised the squads and tactics of both these clubs by saying that they offer a brilliant combination of all other clubs. Napoli recently managed a major coup by being able to get the star striker Edinson Cavani sign a new deal with the club. As a result, it is expected that he will stay at the club at least for one season before activating his € 60 million release clause.

"The two most complete teams I have seen are Juventus and Napoli. They both followed a strict philosophy. Napoli took a certain type of young player, and that will come in handy not only now but also in the future. Juventus have always targeted players who are already 'built'. Fiorentina did the only thing they could do - initiate a total revolution. Roma have also recruited well," Rossi said. Both Napoli and Juventus have made a great start to the season after winning the opening two matches. Juventus are top of the table by virtue of having scored one goal more than Napoli.
