Milan may be top of the table, but Gennaro Gattuso considers Inter the favorite for the title.
Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso believes Inter are the favorites to win Serie A this season, ahead of current leaders Milan and current champions Juventus.
AC Milan – without Scudetto since 2010-11 – top the table with five points from nine matchdays after defeating Fiorentina 2-0 on Sunday to remain undefeated.
The city’s rivals Inter and Sassuolo are five points behind the pace, while Andrea Pirlo’s Juve is fourth and one point behind, along with Napoli and Roma.
Gattuso considers the favorites for Antonio Conte’s Inter title following Napoli’s 4-0 win over Roma on Sunday, telling Sky Sport Italia: “In my opinion, Inter is the team to beat.
“They combine quality with physical strength, they have so many options available and are favorites. Then there is Juventus, which is used to being up there. “
Napoli played their first Serie A game since the death of the great Diego Maradona on Wednesday and it was an emotional occasion at Stadio San Paolo, where captain Lorenzo Insigne, Fabián Ruiz, all-time top scorer Dries Mertens and Matteo Politano hit the mark. .
Partenopei equaled their highest margin of victory against Roma in Serie A, having also defeated the capital club 4-0 in 1980 and 1971.
Napoli, which climbed to fifth place in Serie A, six points behind Milan, scored its fourth win in five games in all competitions.
Gattuso earned the 50th win of his coaching career in the Italian top flight, becoming the first Napoli manager to win their first two Serie A games against Roma.
“We have to play with this intensity in every game, with this atmosphere on the team bus, in the locker room, throughout the game. Don’t take anything for granted, “Gattuso said.
“What I liked was the attitude today. When there was a mistake from a teammate, they helped each other, clapped instead of telling them to fuck off, that’s what I like to see.
“Maybe it’s my fault, because in order not to stress the players, Let things go, I go easy. Now I realize that I can never let anything go and I can’t afford to tolerate them. The time has changed.
“We know that with the match list as full as it is, we can’t always be 100 percent in every match. But that’s why mindset is so important, because it can allow you to overcome difficulties, move on, and raise the bar. I see the mentality as the problem here, we have to find the balance between playing good football, but as a team. “
