Serie A last season was also a fairly hot competition. now Serie A fans I think it's more like the Premier League. That's because it's not just the dominance of a handful of strong teams fighting for the title.
the club must have second-tier players who have the same qualities as their main squad. at least every position should have a proper replacement.
Not to mention, this season it looks like the players will also be bothered with the Qatar world cup agenda. It looks like the league schedule in Europe will clash with FIFA's agenda.
Serie A teams are not as strong as Premier League teams. There are few star players on the team. But the quality of the teams is almost equal. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Lazio, and Roma are all performing well. AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli battled for the title last season. However, Juventus and Roma have strengthened themselves for next season. And so I think the next season will be more competitive than the last season.
Apart from Manchester City and Liverpool I don't think that there is any other epl teams that can stand head to head with the top Seria A clubs, Seria A clubs are also a strong team, what they just need is the zeal and morale to excel in European tournaments, Juventus had lots of stars when Cristiano Ronaldo was with them few seasons ago, still they got knocked out by Ajax who barely have a star player, team work is really important and continuity in winning, I guess that's what help Ac Milan back then when they were triumphant consistently in the European league
