Napoli, for whom Macedonian representative Elif Elmas plays, is a real unknown due to the departure of several key players who wore the shirt of the team from Naples for a long time, such as Insigne, Mertens. The Italian public expects Juventus to be one of the main favorites for the title after two poor seasons, after bringing in players like Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Filip Kostic, Gleison Bremer this summer.

Lecce is back in the elite, and for the first time in Serie A since 1996, Cremonese will play, and the newcomer is the Monza club, which is owned by Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, who certainly have some aces in their hands.

Last season, Milan may not have been the best in terms of playing staff, but they showed that they are the most consistent and deservedly won the title with two points more than Inter, with whom they tied for second place on the all-time list of the most trophy-winning teams, they have 19 titles each in Serie A

- We are a strong team and what is especially important for me, in the eyes of the players I see the same enthusiasm as last summer - says the coach of the Rossoneri, Stefano Pioli.

Belgian striker Divock Origi and Belgian supertalent Charles de Quetelet arrived in Milan.

- I don't know if we are the strongest, the field will show that. But we believe in what we are doing, I am satisfied with how we prepared for the start of the season - Pioli believes.

The new season opens with the champion Milan, who welcomes Udinese from 18.30:XNUMX at "San Siro", for whom the second Macedonian representative Ilija Nestorovski is playing.

Inter will also play tonight, the Nerazzurri are visiting Lecce, and the fans expect this season's title to return to their showcases. Optimism increases the return of Romelu Lukaku, but also the arrival of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Andre Onana, Kristian Aslani and Raul Bellanova, although one of the key players in the past season, Ivan Perisic, who signed for Tottenham, has left.

Massimiliano Allegri returned to Juventus last summer but did not make a name for himself in the first season and finished in fourth place, and in the second he will no longer have an alibi after he got what he was looking for in the transfer window.

The "Old Lady" was without Matthijs de Ligt, Giorgio Chiellini and Paulo Dybala, but brought several quality reinforcements such as Pogba, Di Maria, Kostic, Bremer, with which they announce an attack on the title.
