Fabio Cannavaro considers “Juventus superior to Napoli,” but would love to see his hometown club celebrate.
The Ballon d’Or winner played for both clubs in his career and was asked to give a verdict on the Scudetto race.
“I consider Juve to be superior to Napoli, because the Bianconeri have a stronger overall squad,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“Napoli paid the price for having so many games between Serie A, the Europa League and Coppa Italia, because it was almost always the same XI.
Fabio Cannavaro considers “Juventus superior to Napoli,” but would love to see his hometown club celebrate.
The Ballon d’Or winner played for both clubs in his career and was asked to give a verdict on the Scudetto race.
“I consider Juve to be superior to Napoli, because the Bianconeri have a stronger overall squad,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“Napoli paid the price for having so many games between Serie A, the Europa League and Coppa Italia, because it was almost always the same XI.
“That was the difference, as Juve can afford to let the second string play and still reach the Coppa Italia Final, whereas Napoli can’t rotate in the long run and keep the quality level high.”
There is a three-point gap at the top of the table and Cannavaro hasn’t completely lost hope of Napoli’s first title since 1990.
“I was fortunate enough to experience it as both a ball boy and a fan at the Stadio San Paolo. It makes you so proud, because the city is often criticised and treated badly by the rest of the country.
“The fact you can win a Scudetto makes you feel stronger than everyone else and it’s a real show of pride.”
