Trap backs Juve and Milan Thursday 30 December, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Former Italy Coach Giovanni Trapattoni believes that Lo Scudetto is a two-horse race between Juventus and Milan.
The former Italy Coach believes that, despite Silvio Berlusconi’s resignation as Milan President, the Rossoneri will be Juve’s main rivals for the remainder of the season.
“Nothing will change,” claimed the current Benfica Coach. “Recently the technical decisions were left up to Adriano Galliani and Carlo Ancelotti anyway. Berlusconi will continue to be Milan. He redesigned the way we look at Italian football in modern times.”
With regards to the title race, Trap believes that Milan, along with Juventus, are superior to the rest of the challengers.
“Juventus remind me of my Inter squad in 1989,” continued Trap. “They are efficient, concrete and solid. They are covered in every role. The Rossoneri, meanwhile, play an attractive football and have a set style of play. They are the current champions.
“The Nerazzurri, meanwhile, are behind because they keep changing. They couldn’t maintain the pace of the top two and so they looked for other solutions.
“Experimenting doesn’t help with the continuity, but it will help for the future. Let’s not forget Roberto Mancini is only in his first season at Inter.”
