Cristiano Ronaldo now plays in Italy, and automatically shifts everyone's attention to the Campionato, where Inter have grown so strong that they feel they can compete with Juventus, at the same time that Milan are optimistic again with Higuain and… Paolo Maldini! Roma is starting to become Monchi's team and that means it is very interesting, Napoli is now led by Carlo Ancelotti of the three Champions Leagues, Lazio kept Sergei Milinkovic-Savic and we all hope that the spectacle and the agony in Italian courts will keep us on the cheetah until the end.
JUVENTUS
Having broken all records by winning seven consecutive championships and celebrating four consecutive doubles, the Bianconeri have as their main goal this year the conquest of the Champions League and took care to create the appropriate roster. The transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, the trick of the century, as the Italians called it, was the bomb of the summer and not only, with Juve being the unwavering favorite to win this year's title as well. This is not disputed, but this year for the first time in history if in Turin they have to choose between the goals, they will "sacrifice" the scudetto. Although Andrea Anielli does not want to hear such a thing, emphasizing a few days ago that the goal is the treble this year.
NAPOLI
The hiring of Carlo Ancelotti at the beginning of the summer caused excitement in the Italian south but also in the country in general, since after an absence of nine years "Carleto" returned to Serie A. Unfortunately for the Neapolitans, but this enthusiasm was not maintained. Instead, it turned into nerves and eventually frustration for the transfer campaign, which had nothing to do with what one would expect. Aurelio De Laurentiis Ελλάδα supported Greece with the transfer of Orestis Carnezis but Partenopei fans believe that he did not support the team in general, with the climate in San Paolo being dangerous before the championship even starts. And this is not Mauricio Sari's fault, no matter how much the president enjoys blaming him for everything…
ROMA
Last year, which was expected to be difficult, finally proved to be successful for Jalorosi, who finished in 3rd place and at the same time reached the semifinals of the Champions League! Monci tried to build on this in the summer, who made several changes to the roster, managing to move within the rules of Financial Fair Play. The sales of Raja Nainggolan and Allison Becker were not liked by the fans but they liked the acquisitions of Javier Pastore, Justin Klaifert and Steven N'Zonzi, with Eusebio Di Francesco aiming to present a team like Stacey. .
INTERNET
Last season started well, continued badly, it seemed that it would end tragically but finally… finally good, all good! For the first time since the 2011-12 season, the Nerazzurri will play in the Champions League and made sure to strengthen as much as possible during the summer. Nainggolan, De Vries, Keita, Vrsaliko, Lautaro, Asamoah and Politano did not cost much at Inter as Piero Ausilio did his best transfer campaign and is now waiting for Luciano Spalletti to certify this with the team he will present. A team that is projected by the Italian press as the one that will be the main opponent of Juventus in the battle for the title, hoping that the Bianconeri will finally throw all the weight in the Champions League.
LATZIA
Last season ended badly for Lazio with the defeat by Inter in the last match, which also meant the loss of the ticket for the Champions League. It was a very good opportunity for the Romans, who will hardly find a similar one this year. Sergei Milinkovic-Savic's stay looks like a για transfer for Lazio, which lost De Vries and Felipe Anderson. Badelli will help in the center, Korea came to give solutions aggressively and Simone Inzaghi will try to present a strong team, which will be a nuisance for everyone. If the defense proves credible, Lazio will be really good.
MILAN
For the second year in a row, the Rossoneri ended the season in frustration, to bring excitement during the summer. The Chinese Yonghong Li is a thing of the past and the club's shares passed to Elliott's Americans, who did everything they could to warm the world again. The return of Leonardo and especially of Paolo Maldini give credibility to the plan of the new administration, as credibility - in theory - gives the team the acquisitions of Higuain, Caldara, Bakayoko. Beyond that, if Castillejo and Lasalt are good, on the Rossoneri side of Milan they can be optimistic that the goal of reaching the Champions League, as set by Maldini, will be less unattainable than it seemed at first. of summer. As long as Gennaro Gattuso proves to be credible…
ATALANTA
"Our transfer campaign was disappointing. "If we want the results of the last two years, we will probably need a better coach than me," said Gian Piero Gasperini a few days ago, describing in a few words the climate that prevails in Bergamaski. The management decided not to follow up and allegedly support "Gasp" but obviously the glass has cracked and it remains to be seen if it will break completely during the season. A season that is expected to be difficult for Atalanta, which also lost Caldara, Cristante, Spinazola, Petania.
FIREENTINA
There was no significant loss, except for Bandelli, for Viola, who tried to strengthen in the end with the acquisitions of Piazza-Gerson-Saponara-Miralas. With the fans declaring war on Diego and Andrea Della Valle, but also with Pantaleo Corvino no longer being able to do the… wonders of the past, in Florence they are preparing for the start of a season in which they basically do not know what to wait. On the positive side, however, is the stay of Stefano Pioli, who hopes that the attacking trio of Chiesa-Simeone-Piazza will be able to make a difference and bring the world back to Artemio Franchi.
TORINO
Walter Matsari remained, Urbano Cairo boasts of the money he invested in this transitional period, the acquisition of Simone Jazz in the finale brought some smiles but the truth is that Granata does not, in theory at least, look so different. The goal is to be as good as possible and Torino will be in the first 10 series but up there. The above - and this year - seems very difficult to achieve.
FORECAST: If Belotti scores well, Granata may be in the first 8ada.
SAMPLONIA
The sale of Lucas Torreira may have done well at the club's cash register, but not at the expense of Marco Jambaolo, who thinks this season will be a transition for the Genoese. The good news for him is that there is no big goal he has to achieve, since President Ferrero may be crazy about things. Bluescariati's goal this year will be to play good football, be a tough opponent for all the greats in Luigi Ferraris, and get into the first 10 Series.
SASOLO
The hiring of Roberto De Jerby means that the Neroverdi's have again a coach with an aggressive philosophy. This is Sassuolo's goal this year, to play aggressive and beautiful football, thereby trying to become attractive again and to cover the lost territory of the last two years. Will it be easy? No, but it is not impossible, however, since the administration made sure to bring talent and experience to the team with the transcriptions of Kevin Prince-Boating, Manuel Lockatelli and Kuma Babakar. Beyond that, if Domenico Berardi finds his good self, Sassuolo may actually be better than expected.
JENOA
Perin is gone, Iso is gone, Cristo is back, Marquette is recovered. The summer of 2018 was another summer of change for Rosoblou, who basically bet on David Ballardini. The 54 year-old technician aims to lead the team in staying untouched like last year while also taking advantage of the kids he has at his disposal, as there are 13 players aged 23 in the roster! This means that his mission will not be easy, once again helping the world, which traditionally turns Marassi into a very difficult place.
KIEV
The summer was not easy for Kiev, which was even threatened with relegation to the issue with the balance sheets of recent years. In the end, the worst-case scenario did not happen, but it is not ruled out that it could happen on the pitch. The "flying donkeys" have managed to convince everyone that they can stay in the category even with… 38 defeats, but the truth is that this year things will not be easy. And this issue that arose with the balance sheets, it is possible to pay it during the season…
URGENT
Until a few years ago, Friulani was an example to follow for other teams of the same cubic capacity, but that has now changed. Friulli's transformation was an important step forward but they have come a long way behind, with Udinese now proceeding with transfers of players that no one knows about. Which of these are good, which are not, how much they can help or if this help will be enough, one can not know at this time. Like what coach Julio Velasquez will do…
FORECAST: Battle for stay.
BOLOGNA
Rosoblou have tried to renew their roster as much as they can, but their most important change is in the position of coach. Philippe Inzaghi returns to Serie A with the goal of proving that there is not only his brother as an allenatore and he will be really interested in following his course. If, however, he manages to anchor and take advantage of the Detroit-Falcinelli-Orsolini, Bologna can not only be easily saved but also offer a better spectacle than the last season, when it was now clear that Roberto Donadoni would not have give something else.
KALIARI
The recruitment of Rolando Maran was aimed at ensuring that Cagliari had what Kiev had: Stability. Rosoblou started last season with dreams but managed to avoid relegation in the last games, which means they do not want to go through the same again this year. The good news for them is that they managed to keep the young hitter Nicolas Barrela, who is allegedly on the list of several teams, with Lucas Castro coming in to force the center.
SPAL
Staying safe last year was celebrated as σαν scudetto by Spall, which has the same goal this year. And in theory he has what it takes to make it happen. Strong home, Italian team, attacking style of football and -above all- the same coach since 2014. Leonardo Semblitsi has managed to build the team as he wants it and if Petania helps Paloski to score, Spal will be in the tribute that will take place next year for Serie A 2019-20.
EMPOLI
Only one year away from Serie A, in which he returned as a Serie B champion and with the best attacking class (88 goals). However, her defense was just not good (49 goal) and if this is not corrected in some way, staying will look like an endless dream. It would be good, however, to look at Antoninos La Goumina, whom the Tuscany acquired from Palermo and whom the Italians say are the best.
PARMA
The big comeback! The financial disaster sent Parma to Serie D but managed to return in record time, aiming to stay in the Calcio lounges and slowly build a trustworthy team that would not again be in danger of being relegated. This year, however, he will be in danger, since her top scorer last year, Emmanuel Calaio, has been sentenced to January for the case of imminent demotion. But he did not bring it and Ennio Tardini is hoping that he will not come racing either.
FROZEN
Marco Sportiello should be rock bottom, Daniel Ciofani should be netting and coach Moreno Longo should find a way to present a team as tight as last year's Serie B. Apparently another Serie B and another Serie A, but if Frosinone is a serious defender, he will have a hope of staying. Otherwise, like the previous time he had climbed into the 1 category, he would be relegated without much.
