Recently, former Guangzhou Evergrande and Udinese coach Fabio Cannavaro gave an exclusive interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport, where he addressed many topics of concern to reporters and fans.
Regarding Inter’s room for improvement
It’s tough. Perhaps only Denzel Dumfries could be replaced. Successful models come in various forms. They have two capable starting players for every position over a long season. Maybe Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu can think more creatively.
On the Serie A title contenders
If they keep Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, I believe Napoli can challenge for the Serie A title. They are very strong, with Osimhen able to score three goals from two touches, better at taking chances than Lukaku. Motta brings new ideas to Juventus, but they want to sell Chiesa, one of Italy’s most potent attacking players. It baffles me.
About AC Milan
Fonseca comes from a good school, yet stumbled in Rome. I’m curious to see what changes he’ll bring to Milan. Pioli left a valuable legacy for Milan.
On temporarily coaching Udinese
I knew I had only six games, and I threw myself into the fire. Normally, Udinese should be 10th-12th. I’m stubborn, not wanting to coach abroad, preferring to stay in Italy. My future is on the rise because people saw how I transformed Udinese.
Can Gasperini’s Atalanta compete for the title?
Yes, I hope so. He advocates high-intensity training and matches. Even without Kuipers, he showed he doesn’t need key stars to execute his tactical vision.
On the failure of the Italian national team
Everyone shares responsibility. Not just the coach and players, or the federation. Now, let’s start anew, as we cannot afford to miss the World Cup. We need more games, more running, and a stronger hunger. The youth national teams have set an example.
