With Gasperini and Malen they can win the Serie A title, even if Inter still remain the team with the strongest squad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">Pio Esposito? &#8220;See Luca Toni? What a striker: today I see Pio Esposito in him, give him time and you\u2019ll see. No, he isn\u2019t the new Vieri, Pio will become a clone of Toni. Give him one or two years and he will score 25-30 league goals. Right now he is learning the trade with Lautaro and Thuram, then he will become Number One.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">Back to Roma. &#8220;Title challengers, definitely, and that doesn\u2019t mean they will win it, but that they will be in the fight thanks to the arrival of Gasperini.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:start\">So for Bobo Vieri, Roma are right in the mix. &#8220;I put Inter ahead of everyone because they have superior quality compared to the others, spread across the whole squad, and it is frightening. For the Serie A title they are the big favourites, but over the course of a season you never know what can happen. And Roma will always stay right on Inter\u2019s heels, ready to take advantage of any possible slip-ups.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking to Il Messaggero, former centre-forward Bobo Vieri weighed in on the Serie A title race: &#8220;Roma?
