Fabio Capello believes that AC Milan are a level below the likes of Atalanta, Napoli and Inter when it comes to the Scudetto fight this season.
Despite winning 3-0 against Empoli on Saturday evening at San Siro, Milan remain in seventh place and looking upwards towards the teams that are leading the pack.
Napoli are on 32 points after 14 games and lead the league, while Atalanta are just one point behind them. Inter are four off top with a game in hand, and then Fiorentina and Lazio are level with them.
While the Rossoneri have a game in hand over Juventus, Lazio, Atalanta and Napoli – to be played against a resurgent Bologna – they are still 10 points off the summit so there is big work to do.
Capello had a column published in La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning after Atalanta’s big 2-0 win against Roma, and he spoke about where the title race currently stands.
“After the victory in Rome, on Friday there is already Milan for Atalanta: another test. Gasperini’s team will fight until the end with Napoli and Inter for the title,” he began (via MilanPress).
“I like Conte’s Azzurri more and more: they are confident, organised and play as a team, but they also leave the freedom to individuals to invent and exploit their own creativity. While Inter, in terms of quality and depth of the squad, remain the best equipped.
“Between Conte and Inzaghi, there is Gasp. And I expect a challenge until May. Juventus and Milan have shown that they have something less than this trio, not only in the table.
“The Bianconeri in Lecce lasted a half: in the second half they conceded more chances than they have suffered overall in the last matches. Milan need consistency and the starting point to find it is the midfield pairing of Fofana-Reijnders, a guarantee of balance.”
an incomplete squad and an incompetent management…
that’s what we are missing, oh and an owner who actually gives a $hit
Milan was out of the scudeto race the second we couldnt beat Napoli at home. that was the moment that Eminem talks about in lose yourself.
In turn Napoli solidified their challenge for it in that game.
Yeah the season is over lets not play the last 24 games and just rest all the player for next season 🙄🤣
What a dumb comment.
I so dislike it when people try to use sarcasm and they suck at it. Stay in your lane buddy
Right now Capello is right, but things can change quickly specially after the second part of the UCL. For me and just for that reason Napoli is the clear favourite to lift the Scudetto
Right now we’re seven. If situation remains as it is, we’re not even sure to fight for the fourth place, let alone the scudetto.
