Speaking about the Scudetto battle, Castellini indicated Inter and Napoli among the favorites, but also wanted to include Atalanta. "Atalanta loses very few shots and plays calmly, without pressure. It will be an exciting season, with many teams in a few points, but in the end the one who is more used to winning will win."
Reflecting on the role of outsiders, Castellini praised the work of Palladino and Baroni, respectively coaches of Fiorentina and Lazio: “They are leaving a mark. However, in football the ability to handle pressure is essential. When you have to win, that's when you see the quality of a team.”
