Football traditionalists often complain about the defensive nature of the Serie A and the lack of pace and excitement. Our Soccer specialist is not one of those people. He raves that last term, the top 4 sides in Italy were all attack-first sides. AC Milan were known for playing Italy's version of Barcelona-ball. They possessed, probed, and always looked to push the action. Inter Milan had ups and downs throughout the campaign, but the one problem that existed throughout was their last of defensive fortitude. Napoli, well, they have a 3-pronged attack that can dominate any team in Europe on a given night, as was exemplified when Manchester City came to the San Paolo. Udinese, well, they have Antonio Di Natale and play a 3-5-2. None of these sides are defined by their defensive nature, and these were the best 4 sides in Italy last term

This term, Juventus are back. They are a throw-back to defence first, but they are not a purely defensive side. Juve's strength is depth, as they are a deep squad and have quality midfielders including Pirlo, Marchesio, and Vidal. Juve will challenge until the end, but AC Milan will continue to be favourites until the final day of the season. Ibrahimovic does not lose leagues, and his is the frontman for Milan once again. With Ibra, Milan are historically guaranteed to finish 1st, but what will Juve say about that? And what of Inter? Check the link above to be in touch with all of the latest Serie A drama.
