The Italian journalist, Furio Focolari, believes Juventus has not strengthened their squad enough to make it better than that of Inter Milan.
The Bianconeri have added the likes of Paul Pogba and Angel di Maria to their group in this transfer window.
Both players will add quality to their ranks and make them better than they are now.
It means Juve will be confident of doing better than they did in the last campaign and probably win the league.
Inter Milan beat them to the Super Cup and the Italian Cup in the last campaign, and the Nerazzurri are still favourites for domestic success in this campaign.
Juve fans might feel their team is in a position to beat their bitter rivals now, but Focolari disagrees with that.
He says, as quoted by Calciomercatoweb:
“I don’t know if Juve has strengthened.
“She had Chiellini, de Ligt, Dybala, Morata and now she doesn’t have them anymore.
“All convinced of Pogba , I’m the only one who keeps saying to be careful. At Manchester United he never took it, it is all to be verified.
“He took Bremer, but in place of de Ligt , Chiellini was not replaced, Bonucci is no longer what he used to be. Inter is now stronger than Juve”
Juve FC Says
Juve and Inter have both strengthened their squad, and they will be hopeful they can get as much value from their players as they can.
The Bianconeri know success is a must in this campaign after they struggled in the last one.
However, they must also focus on winning their other games apart from the matches against Inter.
If they achieve that and lose only league games against the Nerazzurri, they can still win the league title.
Let the season commence
the anti-juve `journalists` terrified, out in force, and in tears for Bremer. it is glorious!
Bremer is better than de ligt. Chiellini was replaced by Gatti back in january. Di maria even at 34 is better than dybala. Plus he is a natural winger. Dybala kept straying out of position for his more natural central role. Pogba if healthy plays better in serie a. And he doesnt have to take it as this journalist says. He is not the main man and this is a team sport. And inter should remember that neither them or juve are the team to beat. Has this numbnut journalist forgotten that AC Milan won the scudetto this year and finished second the year before. They are the team to beat. I hate anti juve people. They are so envious. Sounds like Mr. Focolari is furio-us at losing Bremer.
Juve’s left side is non-existent, and we don’t have numbers in attack. Get Zaniolo and a backup for Vlahovic and then we’re talking. Allegrisaurus also needs to stop obsessing over a Regista, and especially that overrated injury prone Turd, The Argentine Arhtur Parepiss from PSG – have more faith in the youngsters FFS!
I agree that Juve are currently not as strong as those mentioned. They are currently a team in transition. The recent transfer activity has been very good and we hope it continues but the squad lacks depth and if the usual injury problems take place we will suffer a lot this season. But if we keep doing smart moves I. The market and perhaps trust kids more we will get there.
