Plandelli: Better than Inter Milan, Naples are more optimistic about Magic Flute and De Bruyne are not subject to age restrictions
Italian coach Plandley was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily and talked about related topics in Serie A.
What game can you watch now?
I can only see everything my 5 grandchildren allow me to see, and they obviously have priority. However, they will go to bed at the right time anyway.
So are you happy to see it?
Whenever possible, I feel good about the first 4 rounds of Serie A. But we are still in the running-in period, and some players participated in the Club World Cup, but the results were not ideal; in addition, the summer transfer period ended relatively late, so we still need to wait for the new players to reach their best.
What do you think about Serie A in the new season?
I am more optimistic about Naples than Inter Milan. Their team has remained stable and Conte has brought a strong spirit. Naples still leads Inter, but I see Milan could also be a real threat.
Milan will face Naples this weekend, which can be called a championship battle?
Yes, Serie A is still divided into teams of different levels, and there are 7 teams that can compete for the championship and qualify for the Champions League. This will be a competition between two outstanding coaches. Conte has a great influence in Napoli. He gains the trust of the players and can improve the performance of the players. For example, Politano, he is an excellent player, but under Conte's coach, he becomes more stable and becomes an indispensable player.
Milan is still rebuilding
I am very happy for the impact Allegri has had, and he deserves such an opportunity because he had to endure unfair evaluations before. Allegri can handle the most subtle situations, and he can solve the problem. And Milan played well and performed very well against Udinese in the last game.
What kind of game will this be?
This is a match between Allegri and Conte. They are both very charming and leading people and should be recognized. People often talk about the difference between the two, but in my opinion they are very similar in many ways.
Modric joins Milan this summer, and De Bruyne joins Naples. Is this an era of veterans?
Welcome to Serie A when it comes to superstars of this level. Their talent is not limited by age, both are very smart and mature, they know when to speed up the pace, when to control the game, their footwork and vision will make you fall in love with football. The real champions can decide the game, and Modric and De Bruyne are both players, and they will continue to do it.
Who else is interested in you?
Gasperini, who started a new project, could bring surprises and unexpected results in his first year in coaching Rome. There is also Fiorentina, who coached by Pioli. Despite the poor start, Pioli is excellent and he can succeed. There is also Juventus. After all, Juventus is Juventus, we cannot ignore it. Everyone should also give Qiwo some time to practice his tactical philosophy, so he can control Inter Milan.
More and more celebrities have entered the club management
I am very happy that Juventus has given Chiellini an important position because the club needs such a role. Rome made the same choice, allowing Ranieri to serve as a consultant. Naples arranged for Ogliari to serve. Of course, not all new bosses will do this. In the national team, when I coached in the past, Gigi Riva held a similar position. Whenever I encountered subtle and tricky situations, he would come to me and say, "Cesare, I'll have a cup of coffee and chat with them." Gigi! I really miss him.
