Former Serie A striker Giampaolo Pazzini says AC Milan are favourites to win the Italian league this season ahead of early season title rivals Napoli due to the presence of experienced strikers in their ranks.
Both teams are tied at the top of the Serie A table on same point after 11 games, but the former AC Milan striker who scored 115 goals during his playing days in the league believe the duo of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud means AC Milan have the edge.
He said the duo have experience of competing for a league title unlike Napoli who are a team built around Osimhen, who hasn’t been involved in a title scrap in his young career.
“Ibrahimovic and Giroud have more experience than the Napoli strikers,” he told DAZN. “In certain situations, they know how to move and know how to solve the games.
“[Victor] Osimhen, on the other hand, is very sharp, a very strong player. In comparison to milan, Napoli focus more exclusively on Osimhen.”
His statement isn’t much different from what coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr said about why he wants to bring back Al Shabab forward Odion Ighalo back to team.
Rohr said even though Osimhen has the talent, Ighalo has the experience needed to push for glory at next year Africa Cup Of Nations and also the business end of the World Cup qualifiers.
