Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri sees Juventus as Scudetto favourites, but praises his own side.
The Bianconeri have won seven Serie A games in a row, putting themselves back into the title picture after a difficult start.
“I never thought they were out of it,” Sarri told Corriere dello Sport.
“If there was one thing I was certain about, it was that. They’ve revamped their play, they’re here again and they’re the favourites for the Scudetto.
Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri sees Juventus as Scudetto favourites, but praises his own side.
The Bianconeri have won seven Serie A games in a row, putting themselves back into the title picture after a difficult start.
“I never thought they were out of it,” Sarri told Corriere dello Sport.
“If there was one thing I was certain about, it was that. They’ve revamped their play, they’re here again and they’re the favourites for the Scudetto.
“They’re used to experiencing this, and they know how to face certain challenges.
“Inter’s defeat? It’s proof that this is a very balanced League.”
Sarri did also take the time to praise his own side, who are two points clear of the Old Lady, and one point behind leaders Inter.
“The numbers tell you that we’ve gone through these four months in an exciting way.
“We’re just behind the leaders, we’ve scored a lot, for some time now we’ve given almost nothing away and we’ve made six real statements in the Europa League.
“The stats are on our side. We’ve always played good football, even in Bergamo [the 3-1 win over Atalanta], when it wasn’t easy, we were able to do the maximum against an opponent who made us work hard.
“The Scudetto? We read about that six or seven games ago, when for example Juventus hadn’t yet put together all those wins.
“I’m solid, realistic and remain certain of my own thinking. I never feel unbalanced, because we’re not in a position to feel that way.
“There’s still an entire half of the season to go, plus the two games which will be played when we return to the pitch.”
