Sacchi: 'No Juve rivals'

By Football Italia staff

Former Milan Coach Arrigo Sacchi believes that the current Juventus 'don't have historical rivals' and are on course to win a sixth consecutive Scudetto.

The 70-year old dismissed any chance for Milan, Roma and Inter, and emphasised the total dominance of the Bianconeri in Serie A.

"Who would be the antagonist? Juve come off the back of winning five titles, and they’ve had injuries," the tactician told Gazzetta dello Sport. "They have extraordinary individual qualities and Allegri is a great Coach who knows Italian football, but he must integrate new players and it takes time.

"But Juve is first in the standings and has a huge advantage in addition to the moral superiority that comes with it. They have history and super professional players.

"The club comes before the team, which comes before the individual. I do not see much chance for their rivals.

“Milan? You just can’t tell. Inter? We do not know the new Chinese owners. Juve right now does not have historical rivals. "

"Roma play beautiful football but are not historical rivals. They have won three league titles and Juve thirty. They have a happy squad, just like the city.

"To lose the Scudetto Juve must commit footballing suicide. Of course, now Juventus have raised the bar and are starting to think about the Champions League, but in Italy it is true that they are unmatched.

"It right that Juve are thinking about it, they are one of the most important clubs in the world. So far they have been limited by the culture of results, but in Italy the result is enough.

"They play with a tight defence, individuality, and tactical awareness. Juve know how to manage all these factors."
