Personally, I'm not sure if we will win serie a this year.
Mourinho has a hard job to do. He can't work with so many of our players now and he won't be able for some time. And it takes some time to convert playstyle of every of our player from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3. We should have enough time to prepare for Champions league as it starts later than serie a (I mean the cup stage, coz I belive we will go through group stage easly) but I'm not sure about serie a. I belive we will start ruling in serie a after like 2-3 months of it and it will be quite late for earning points. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. It all depends on our midfield and strikers how fast can they adapt to the new strategy and positions. Mostly its about Muntari and Zlatan as they will affect our offensive alot.
I'm happy to see Maxwell more used offensively than at Mancio times. It's a good sign becouse we will be more offensive than some people would think and we won't need to rely only on Maicon good days.
