Have you forgotten about Juventus, or do you think that they are not capable of progressing in the new season? I don’t see much optimism either, but I think that they can be in the top 4 with Napoli and Inter. There are also Milan and Roma, I think that with Gasperrini they should become even better, although with Ranieri they were also very good. And as for Napoli, I see that everyone gives them preference, but they will also have the Champions League, so it may be more difficult for them.
I'd be lying if i have forgotten about the old ladies. I also do not underestimate them nor their capabilities, I'm only keeping close tabs on them and how they've been progressing. These are just my opinions with the pre-season games I have seen and also the incomings. It won't be difficult for them, Antonio Conte has just been handed most of the players he wanted, I'm certain they'll thrive in Seria A and Champions league.
