Mazzarri: 'I don't watch Serie A'

By Football Italia staff

Walter Mazzarri thinks that Juventus will win the Scudetto this year, but confesses 'I don't watch much Serie A'.

The former Inter and Napoli boss has led his Watford side to eighth in the Premier League, taking 11 points from his first 15 games in charge.

"Are Juve ahead of the others? The recent past is clear, they have won the last five championships, therefore they are ahead," the 55-year-old told Corriere dello Sport. "And in the summer they invested again by purchasing one of the strongest strikers in the world.

"But then again, Italian football always surprises you.

"Napoli and Roma? They are two good teams, they play well, although I confess that I do not see a lot of games in Serie A. I'm focused on the Premier League.

"The spirit is fantastic in English football. I say this because it is the same as my spirit, I do not ever give up until the last second of a battle.

"With Napoli we often won in the final minutes of matches.

"The arrival of well-prepared coaches from different countries has led to a general improvement in the game.

"The rest came through the new television rights deal, when all the Premier League teams were reinforced."
