New appointment with Serie A
: second day at 15 with
Torino-Atalanta
In October, more spectators in the stadiums (with the Lazio Region against), but there is also Ibra among the many positives of Serie A. Football tries to return to normal, but the covid nightmare persists and dilutes the themes of the
second day, which sees the debut of Inter, Lazio, Atalanta and Spezia
and has its main appointment in the postponement of Sunday, Rome-Juve, in the sign of Dzeko.
Under-key is Inter-Fiorentina while the Turin-Atalanta podium is completed ex aequo with Napoli-Genoa, the only match between two teams with full points.
The waltz of the strikers is not fulfilled so Milik and Dzeko do not go to Napoli and Juve who, after having given up Suarez (with the slippery appendix of the farce Italian exam in Perugia), diverted to the former Morata.
The Spaniard and the recovered Dybala should start from the bench because Pirlo, after his debut ok, confirms Ronaldo and Kulusevski.
Delicate exam for Roma who, after the modest 0-0 in Verona turned into a mocking 0-3 for the error in compiling the lists, makes Kumbulla debut and finds himself a dazed Dzeko.
A Fonseca, who is waiting for players from a market in which redundancies cannot be placed, a heavy defeat could even cost the bench.
The challenge has a different flavor: once enemies, now the two teams are market allies, a pragmatic solution, but not appreciated by the fans.
Vidal has arrived, he will be followed by Darmian, Skriniar's money could lead to Smalling, if not to Kantè.
Inter faces the tournament with an air of protagonist, smoothed out the rusts with Conte.
Juve's role as main opponent must be certified immediately.
The impact, however, will be a severe examination because Iachini's Fiorentina seems to be heading towards a season of excellence with the confirmation of Chiesa and Milenkovic.
The other protagonist of the start, the Napoli of Osimhen and the regenerated Lozano, receives the Genoa revolutionized by Preziosi, who started with a goleada.
The Neapolitans, who could sell Koulibaly, must confirm the excellent impression given in the recovery in Parma.
Like every year, there is curiosity to see Gasperini's Atalanta at work, a goal machine now also appreciated in Europe.
It will be a quality check because he will play tomorrow at Giampaolo's Turin, strengthened and eager to demonstrate his progress.
Also expected for the debut of Lazio, which has many market difficulties and cannot present its new signings.
Immobile and Milinkovic lead a close-knit group that will be involved in Di Francesco's Cagliari home, which has just acquired Godin and hopes to get Nainggolan back.
Without Ibra in quarantine, Calhanoglu and Tonali's Milan are well on their way to qualifying for the Europa League and are favorites at Crotone, who will try to recover after the heavy knockout in Genoa.
First approach with Serie A for the other two newly promoted.
Pippo Inzaghi's ambitious Benevento plays his cards at Sampdoria, which is about to add Candreva and Keita to a highly respected team.
Absolute premiere for La Spezia di Italiano which will not have an easy life hosting Sassuolo by Locatelli, Berardi and Caputo.
Two balanced derbies close the round: Juric's Verona, with full points for the Romanist mess, receives Udinese who still do not know if with the epilogue of the market they will still have their De Paul jewel.
Finally, on Monday it's Mihajlovic's Bologna against Liverani's Parma, both returning from an initial knockout.
