Francesco Calzona, former coach of Slovakia and current deputy of Sarri and Spalletti, expressed his impressions on Napoli and Juventus in an interview given to Tuttosport shortly before the match between Juve and Napoli.
In his comment, Calzona underlined that the Neapolitan squad is still in the consolidation phase, but that the club has the potential to create problems for Inter and to compete for the title. According to the former coach, Napoli has a very solid staff and a high offensive level, which makes it capable of returning to levels of excellence.
The face that struck Calzona the most was that of the Juventus player, Raimondo. The former coach called the midfielder "a snake" and said he is the missing figure at Juventus. Raimondo, according to Calzona, is a complete player: he protects the ball, fights with defenders and has the ability to play at higher levels.
Calzona also expressed admiration for Como and Frosinone, citing coach Alvini as an example of a job well done.
With these observations, Calzona implied that the Serie A season will still be very competitive, with Napoli ready to annoy Inter and Juventus looking for reinforcements to complete their squad.
