Ronaldo: ‘Napoli for the Scudetto’

By Football Italia staff

Brazilian legend Ronaldo wants Napoli to beat Juventus to the Scudetto - “even though as an Inter fan I’d prefer to say Inter”.

The two sides are locked in a furious battle at the top of Serie A, with the Partenopei leading the champions by just one point.

“Napoli-Juve today is a bit like Barcelona-Real [Madrid] during my days in La Liga,” Ronaldo explained to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“It’s a duel a few steps above the others. Napoli have a fascinating style of play, while Juve crush you with their mental strength and their range of solutions.

“I don’t know how it will end, but I know how I hope it will end.

“Come on, after all this Juve domination I’d like Napoli to do it, even though as an Inter fan I’d prefer to say Inter.

“With the utmost respect for Juve and their fans, if for once - and maybe for a little while - the Scudetto went to a team that wasn’t Juventus I think it would be a good thing for the Italian league.

“If you don’t sometimes change who wins, you get bored, no?”
