Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman has stated that his team does not fear anyone in the Serie A.
He said that his team is willing to put on a fight and that they do not fear Juventus. He admitted that Juventus has the best players on paper, but this does not mean that they win the title.
Roma has been the most serious challenger for Juventus throughout the years, and Strootman believes that it will be the same thing this year. The midfielder believes that Juventus is winning the title by buying the best talents elsewhere as well as in Italy just like Bayern Munich does it in Germany. He said that the Italian giant just keeps becoming bigger while the other rivals become smaller.
However, Kevin Strootman stated that Roma is not going to be affected by the situation and will put on a fight for the title. He believes that his team can beat anyone on their day and that they should be able to challenge for the title. He admitted that it would be difficult to beat a team such as Juventus but has said that his team will do everything they can in order to fight for the title.
He stated that the players are preparing themselves well and that they are ready to put on a fight to challenge Juventus for the title.
Strootman himself had enjoyed a very difficult period last season because of injuries and admitted that he is not ready yet for the new season. He said that he is still short physically and that he will need time in order to recover his full fitness. However, he admitted that he would do everything he can to prepare himself and make sure that he is ready to help the team whenever he is needed.
