In a recent interview given to Corriere della Sera, Christian Vieri he spoke about the situation of the Italian national team's forwards, focusing in particular on Mateo Retegui and its impact on the Serie A championship. "It's not a particularly brilliant period in terms of the abundance of strikers in Italy.", Vieri observed. However, the former Italian striker underlined the progress of Retegui, who is emerging with continuity atAtalanta under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini.
"Retegui really seems to have made a big leap forward. At Atalanta, he met one of the greatest coaches in the world, and it's no coincidence that he's scoring a lot, regularly. Besides his goals, he guarantees a great job for the team, and he's very important for the national team.", said Vieri. The former centre forward's thoughts also go to Gianluca scamacca, from whom a return in full form is expected: "Now we're also waiting for Scamacca", he added.
Vieri then shared his opinion on the championship Serie A, indicating the Napoli as one of the most accredited teams to fight for the title. "I have no doubts: Napoli will fight for the Scudetto.", he stated firmly. Speaking of possible surprises, he mentioned the Lazio as a "loose cannon" in the race for qualification in Champions League. "Lotito is one of the best presidents around. I'll soon go see Lazio live, along with its fans, who have a unique sense of belonging."he concluded.
