Juventus favourites for the Scudetto - Gianfranco Zola

Former Chelsea player and West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola says Serie A needs the Milan
clubs to challenge Juventus “to return to being
highly competitive”

Juventus have won the Scudetto for the
past five seasons and Gianfranco Zola said The Bianconeri are still favourites this season.

He said:

“Juventus are still the favourite for the final
victory this season,” Zola said on
TeleRadioStereo.

“It’s not a given that they’ll win a sixth-
consecutive Scudetto though. Juventus haven’t
yet been at their best, because they’ve changed
a lot in the summer and they need to gel.

“That could be an advantage though, because it
means they could do even more once they do
reach their best.

“Other teams have to raise their level, and I’m
not just talking about on the pitch, there’s
organisation too.

“There are clubs which are doing well, like Roma
this year and Napoli last season.

“The Milanese clubs need to raise their level,
and they’re gearing up for that. That’s what it’ll
take for the Italian League to return to being
highly competitive.”
