Recently, Dutch legend Gullit gave his opinion on several soccer topics in an interview. First, he spoke about Dutch player Koupmenas' choice to join Juventus. According to Gullit, this is an important step in Kupmenas' career, and he fully deserves such an opportunity given his outstanding performances over the past few seasons in Atlanta. Gullit praised Koupmenas as a well-rounded and versatile midfielder and revealed that several teams made offers to him this summer, but he ultimately chose to stay in Serie A to join Juventus. Gullit also said that if Koupmenas hadn't been injured and helped the Netherlands in the Euros this summer, the Dutch would have had a good chance of reaching the final.
Next, Gullit talked about the new Champions League system and Milan's situation. He argued that the new Champions League system has eight games in the first phase compared to the past, which gives each team more room for error. For Milan, their schedule is really tough as they have to face strong teams like Liverpool and Dortmund, which is not easy for a team with less than three months of bonding time.
Finally, Gullit expressed his expectations for Serie A teams in the European competition. He hoped that all Serie A teams would make it through the first stage of the competition or at least make it to the play-offs. He mentioned that in the past few years, Serie A teams such as Inter, Atalanta, Roma and Fiorentina have achieved success and reached the finals of European tournaments, which is an important and unmissable sign. Gullit hopes that Serie A teams will also reap the rewards this season and continue to show great performances in Europe.
