Before the season started I said I'd be happy with top 3 (considering that 3rd spot would be guaranteed CL spot). I don't think it's fair to say that it's easy to be first this season. Inter is pretty crap, Roma is rebuilding, Napoli has their legs tired tired from two competitions but on the other hand we're seeing much stronger Lazio, equally strong Udine and very strong Milan. Having said that, we're in a tough position because Milan is in good shape. We did drop many points, but not many people expected us to win Scudetto in August or September, rightfully so, as we miss a couple of great players to be a very strong team and to be in a position to win more points.
With second place and CL spot I expect nice investments in the summer where we'd secure 2-3 quality players and only then I'll expect us to chase the first spot.
Having said all that, it does NOT mean that we should settle with second spot at this point. We should never let this Scudetto go, till we (and hopefully we won't) officially lose it. It's an open race and there are many games ahead of us. So far I've seen more positive things than in the last 4-5 years all together.
Forza Juve
