• Series A. Schedules and program of the day

Eight consecutive titles, the best streak in history. And there is no glimpse of who can stand up to the almighty Turin Juventus in Series A 19-20 that starts this Saturday. Naples and Inter appear as the main contenders in a revitalized championship with the arrival of Cristiano a year ago and of players such as De Ligt , Lukaku , Hirving Lozano , Ribèry , Rabiot , Ramsey or Balotelli this summer. It is also striking that four of the top six classifieds have changed coaches.

Change of style in Turin

Despite winning the championship again, Juventus decided to do without Massimiliano Allegri and hired Maurizio Sarri , a more colorful game, to keep alive the dream of winning the Champions League. The Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt, the most coveted young central of the moment, has been the star signing in exchange for 85 million euros. Other novelties are the central Demiral , the right-back Danilo , the midfielders Ramsey and Rabiot and, unexpectedly, the return of the great captain Buffon . And there is a feeling that there are still things to happen, for example the possible departure of Paulo Dybala.

The Naples, on the prowl

He has spent the whole summer looking for the blow of effect. James Rodríguez and Nicolas Pepé escaped, the Mexican Hirving Lozano has just signed and still dreams of Mauro Icardi as center forward. In defense, Manolas arrives from Rome to replace Albiol and form a solid couple with Koulibaly . With Fabián Ruiz, Callejón, Insigne and Mertens in the offensive plot, those of Ancelotti will try to continue being the main alternative to Juve as it has happened in recent years (two courses ago reached 91 points).

Conte as star signing

Inter got into the Champions League on the last day of the last championship but, as in previous years, it again showed too much irregularity. Alexis Sánchez sounds loud as icing on the project but they have already disbursed 155 million: Godín to command the rear, the young Italians Barella and Sensi to give quality to the midfield and Lukaku above. But what really makes the fans hope for the arrival of Antonio Conte , who will undoubtedly give character and competitiveness to the 'Nerazurro' team.

Milan, Rome, Lazio ...

The other historical teams of the tournament do not seem to have been reinforced like the previous three, with some old acquaintances of the Spanish league as protagonists. The former Real Madrid player Theo Hernández arrives in Milan now trained by Giampaolo and with Bennacer, Rafael Leao , and Leo Duarte as other outstanding signings. The former Betis goalkeeper Pau López has landed in Rome, where in the absence of large contracts ( Spinazzola, Zappacosta, Veretout, Mancini, Diawara ) the novelty is also on the bench, with the presence of the Portuguese Paulo Fonseca (former Shakhtar). And Jony , former of Alavés, Málaga or Sporting, has signed for Lazio by Simone Inzaghi .

Big names

With more than 1,000 million euros of expenditure, not only the large teams have been reinforced. And some are illustrious veterans. Franck Ribèry arrives at Fiorentina with 36 years after leaving Bayern Munich. The wayward Mario Balotelli returns to his hometown, Brescia, already 29 years old and after several failed experiences in England and France. Lasse Schöne exchanges Ajax for Genoa and Martin Skrtel (former Liverpool manager) will try to bring his experience to Atalanta, a great revelation last season, in his debut in the Champions League.
