Beppe Marotta, the general manager of Juventus has disclosed his belief that Inter Milan will provide stiffer competition for Juventus in the defense of their Serie A title than Napoli.

He opined this, irrespective of the fact that Napoli leads the Serie A after 12 games, 1 point above the defending champions and 2 above Inter.

Marotta further pointed out that a key factor which will come into play and affect the title race in subsequent weeks and months is the fact that Inter have no European commitments and therefore have more time to make preparations for their League games.

“I fear Inter more than Napoli because without European football they can organise their preparation better,” he said.

“They’re a solid if not spectacular team as they can be clinical, but Napoli’s journey has been remarkable so far.”
