With the threat of industrial action on the part of the playing staff in Italy now averted, Serie A returns with AC Milan v Lazio at Molino Dorino. What's the betting Milan can repeat?
Let's look at the teams one by one.
Atalanta look like they will come out in a 4-4-2 with a
strengthened defence. Andrea Masiello has exchanged the sunny climes of Bari
for the chilly foothills of the Alps.
Bologna are likely to utilize the Christmas tree with judi bola Di Vaio the angel at
its peak. But will the formation lead to the lack of width that Milan
discovered that they had two seasons ago? While Milan brought in Beckham to
solve the problem, in my view it's rather unlikely he will be rushing over from
LA to help the Bolognesi.
Cagliari, under Donadoni's watchful eye, may use Nene and
newly-acquired El Kabir as two wide front men with Cossu breaking through the
centre. With the dangerous David Suazo brought in from Inter they should be
able to avoid relegation.
Catania have Montella as coach now, but have strangely unloaded
Schelotto to Atalanta. The formation seems unclear – a lop-sided 4-4-2,
perhaps. They might be heading even farther south - to the reaches of Serie B.
Cesena will place new boy Mutu in front of goal hoping € 5m Eder can help him in the
scoring department.
Chievo have bought Perparim Hetemaj from Brescia hoping the Finn
can finish like he did with his controlled volley against Roma. Does Jokic have
what it takes on the left of midfield to help Pellissier?
Fiorentina's 12-goal hero Gilardino will be fed by Kharja, 26
year-old Andrea Lazzari (from Cagliari) and Montolivo, who stays in Florence
(it's amazing that, despite years of his being often the best player on the
park, it's only recently that bigger clubs have been taking serious interest in
him).
Genoa have made an effort to improve their "goals
against" column by bringing in the experienced Sebastian Frey, 31, from
Fiorentina. The addition of Birsa (Auxerre), Pratto and Seymour (U. Catolica)
provides evidence that Genoa plan to do more than merely survive this time.
Internazionale di Milano have managed to retain Wesley Schneijder
(to Manchester United's detriment). So allenatore Gasperini has kept his
defence and midfield intact. Up front, the decision to unload Samuel Eto'o
seems odd indeed: the mobility of the attack may well be impaired. How long
will it take Ricky Alvarez to adapt to the tiny spaces afforded by Italian defences,
compared with the wide grasslands found in Argentina? But then they've now got
Diego Forlan .. South American Champion as well as the best player in the 2010
World Cup.
Juventus, the creaky Old Lady, is going to be the most
interesting team to watch this season, I predict. The fans (perhaps forgetting
that he can land a ball on a one euro coin from fifty metres)
are already moaning about the acquisition of the elderly Pirlo
from Milan. But the dangerous Vucinic will probably play in the middle of a
front four (yes, you read that right: I understand it's a return to the 1960s
with a 4-2-4!!). So expect goals, goals, goals ... at both ends of the field.
