ITALY’S SLOW SHOW WOE

nAPOLI’S late win at juventus makes Serie A’s title race the most interesting in any of the major european leagues this season. Sitting through it, however, made one realise why the Premier League’s global popularity is unmatched. Slow, dull, and with juventus happy to take a goalless draw at home, almost from the off, it was not half the occasion it should have been. even the technical quality in Italy is overstated. With a match unfolding at this pace it is not hard for a player with good basic skills to look impressive.
