Alessandro Iori, well-known DAZN commentator, spoke during the "Maracanà" broadcast on TMW Radio by Tuttomercatoweb.com, expressing his reflections on Italian football and in particular on the role of Juventus. The commentator underlined that Juve's current 3-5-2 formation "can cover the difficulties of the moment, but is not suitable for building a long-term project". According to Iori, the team needs immediate points to get back into the running for fourth place, but the current system hides the club's obvious limitations.
In his speech, Iori analyzed the situation of the other Serie A teams, highlighting that Milan, Juventus and Napoli are the most at risk of losing positions compared to Inter, Roma and Como. “The latter can still fight for the Champions League, but they have gaps that the market has not been able to fill, and has actually exacerbated them,” he said. In this context, Juventus remains one of the teams with the greatest difficulties to overcome, especially considering the need to consolidate their position in the league table.
As for Lazio, Iori recalled the feeling of demobilization felt three months ago during the team's first friendly. He expressed admiration for Gattuso's management, praising his ability to keep the team competitive despite difficulties. “The championship is at the beginning, it is still very long and the values could rebalance, but a start like this deserves consideration,” he commented, suggesting that Lazio can still make up ground if they manage to make the most of their resources.
Finally, Iori asked which team risks the most in the Serie A standings, underlining that Juventus, despite having a formation that offers security, does not allow them to go beyond the top positions. The commentator concluded that, although the 3‑5‑2 system may be useful in the short term, Juventus must reconsider their strategy to ensure a more solid future. With the championship still underway, the next few weeks will be crucial for teams looking to consolidate their position and prepare for European competitions.
