Balance, uncertainty and many direct clashes coming. This is the analysis of Ciro Ferrara, former defender of Napoli e Juventus, on the race for the Scudetto, speaking to the microphones of Radio Anch'io Sport su Rai Radio 1. Ferrara has no doubts about the possibility that the Napoli can compete until the end for the title: "Find me a reason why he shouldn't do it.". According to the former champion, credit goes to the work of Antonio Conte: "He's restored confidence in the team and the players. Knowing him, I know he'll remain focused and focused on achieving his goal.".
The coach also fixed the defense, a crucial aspect: "Despite Buongiorno's absence, I believe Napoli can continue to maintain solidity in defense.". Speaking of Juventus, Ferrara underlines the need for growth of some players, such as Vlahovic: "He always scores in double figures, but he needs to improve his coordination with the team and his reactions when he's substituted.".
On the performance of the black and whites he adds: "There have been many draws, but it's not Thiago Motta's problem.
