Fabio Cannavaro believes that Juventus are an Edinson Cavani short of becoming a truly great side.

Speaking to La Stampa ahead of the Week 8 game between Juve and Napoli, the stopper was asked for his opinion on his two former clubs.

“Juventus would be stellar with Cavani,” he stated of the Azzurri striker. “He is the kind of top player that they were looking for in the summer.

“He works hard for the team, he doesn’t leave any reference points and he scores goals. For a defender, he is an opponent that you don’t see but feel.”

Both clubs are currently leading the standings after seven games, but the 2006 World Cup winner insists the game won’t be decisive.

“It won’t decide the Scudetto,” Cannavaro, whose brother Paolo captains the San Paolo outfit, continued.

“Both sides like to win by playing their brand of football and they line up in a similar way. But there is a difference in how they score.

“Antonio Conte’s Juve attack as a unit, whereas Napoli leave it to their three attackers.”

Juve need to sit a bit deeper in this game...we can't push up too much as Napoli always seem to spring our offside trap. Napoli are dangerous when they counter so I think we need make sure we track back and into position even before we lose the ball!

i'd take that attacking trio in a heartbeat

There hasn't really been a problem this year with scoring goals.
In fact, Juventus has scored more goals than any other team in serie a.

And I wouldn't break the 3-5-2 for Cavani, (Vucinic-Cavani sounds great up top though). It just won't happen, Juventus missed the window then Edinson was a Palermo player and that's that as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with you...Cavani will never move from Napoli to Juve so it's just fantasy football.

am I the only1 who thinks that if you take the creativity from behind him he is another amauri ?

He is definitely in a different league to Amauri bro...his work rate is great...he even tracks back to defend. His finishing is brilliant and his pace and movement is all top notch. He will never move from Napoli to Juve tho so it's just fantasy football for now in my opinion.

I don't doubt that but young Amauri was great in Palermo and firt 2 seasons in Juve. It's all about tactics. Cavani is stubborn and worker Amauri was to but unlucky one and he lost it. All I am saying is that the creativity behind a player in this case Cavani makes him look like beast
