Juventus forced to win after spending a lot this summer - Nesta

The

season is on the verge of beginning and the Italian clubs are doing their best to strengthen their teams before the games start, as it comes sooner this time around due to the World Cup in Qatar.

,

, and

have enjoyed a strong transfer window. While Napoli are doing fine, the supporters of the two Milan clubs are concerned since their teams’ progress is slow, aiming for a top-four finish in the next season.

Alessandro Nesta talked to La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked about the sides that have the best chances in the Champions League success in the 2022-23 season.

“Inter, the team to beat in the league, then Juventus. Milan still needs to add a few important pieces to improve in the Champions League, they have recently started a journey. 

“Napoli have lost their soul a bit. Koulibaly and Insigne are great champions who kept the team together, even off the pitch. Replacing them will be difficult

.”

The ex-Lazio and Milan defender then commented on Juventus.

“Juventus, with all they spend, are forced to win something, at least the Scudetto. Last year they did badly, now they’re obliged to win something important. 

“The coach? At Juventus now whoever takes on the role suffers. Sarri was no good, Pirlo was inexperienced, Allegri came back and didn’t win, I wouldn’t want the coach to always be the problem. 

“The squad also needs to be fixed, it needs to be more functional, lately it has been weaker compared to the game they wanted to play.” 

Nesta then went on to share his idea on Paulo Dybala’s arrival at Roma and how much Jose Mourinho’s side can benefit from that transfer.

“Dybala to Roma is a great signing, a unique player, one of the few number 10s left. With Mourinho the enthusiasm was ignited and the team did well. With Paulo a new boost will come, also with future investments. 

“Can he make the Giallorossi take a leap forward? Let’s hope not! Well, I am Lazio fan through and through, and not hypocritical. Certainly, after such an important purchase Roma must raise the bar and aspire for a place in the Champions League.” 

Finally, Nesta talked about Lazio’s transfer window.

“Last year Lazio suffered from the change of system and formation. With Sarri’s ideas so many players became non-functional. Now they are fixing things. 

“They have kept the big boys and put a few players in, they too must aim higher than in the past.”
