Sakki analyzed the first round of the Champions League: Ajax has been difficult, I am more worried about Inter Milan during the transition period

September 13th News Italian legend coach Saki was interviewed by Milan Sports Daily today, and he analyzed the opponents of Serie A team in the first round of the Champions League.

"In short: Juventus Dortmund, Ajax Inter Milan, Paris Atlanta, Manchester City Naples. Except Juventus, all other teams encountered mountain challenges such as Motirolo or Stelvio at the beginning of the Tour de Italy. To put it bluntly, some teams will have a more relaxed first game."

Let's start with a not-too-hard showdown: Juventus vs Dortmund

"This just looks easier on the surface, but it's actually full of traps. Juventus will have to go through a fierce battle with Inter Milan, while Dortmund will go away to play against Heidenheim, who has not yet won points in the Bundesliga. These details are also very important when discussing the Champions League."

Next is Ajax Inter Milan, what do you think?

"Ajax has always been a difficult opponent. They have clear tactical principles and they are very terrible at home. But what I worry more is Inter Milan." What do you say?

"Will they be the Inter Milan who won Turin in their first league appearance or the Inter Milan who lost to Udinese? The Nerazzurri is metabolizing and completing the transition from Simeone Inzaghi to Zivo, and they are in the middle of this process. Although the Nerazzurri has a lineup full of champion players, it is not enough to have players alone. It requires a system of matches that can unite them and achieve double potential. The battle in Amsterdam will be a complex challenge, and the result is unpredictable."

Paris Atlanta will be a exhausting game.

"French teams are Champions League champions, and they can play world-class football when they are in good shape. They are leading in all aspects. Atlanta began a technical revolution after the beautiful era of Gasperini, and now Uric needs time to adjust. The draws in the first two leagues show that there is still a lot of work to be done. The team's cooperation is not as smooth as before, and the pressure is no longer as fierce. If pressure is not applied, Paris Saint-Germain will tear you apart. I hope Uric can convey this to his players. For predictions, I think Paris is the favorite to win, but who knows whether Atlanta can put the opponent in trouble?"

Finally, Manchester City's game against Naples.

"Another mountain to climb. This will be an important test for Napoli, as they can test their experience and skills at home at Manchester City. I think in Serie A, Napoli is one of the best teams: well-structured and coached wisely by Conte. However, the league and the Champions League are two different things."
