Serie A warms up the engines:
within six days (Milan-Udinese opens) a championship divided into two sections starts
, straddling a November world championship without the Azzurri, with a sparkling market still able to capture business or illusions.
Two big news: the first female referee and the return to exhausted stadiums after the long scourge of the covid.

Italy licks the wounds of the second world championship as a spectator, participates in the cups with few successes (except for Rome in the debut of the Conference).
Its champions (Scamacca, De Ligt, Koulibaly, Kessie) are attracted by the richest leagues, but the most important teams have played an intelligent market, drawing on zero quality parameters, keeping an eye on the budgets but presenting themselves strengthened at the start.
The three favorites all have reason to consider themselves more competitive than last season.

Italian 'colony' in Toronto, weighs goodbye to young Scamacca and Lucca (ANSA)
AC
MILAN
, which has hesitated a lot, has hit the most important goal, the young but proven De Ketelaere, a potential top player, paid 35 million, who seems able to form an overwhelming couple with Leao.
The defense embraces Kjaer again, a midfielder and a complement defender are missing but Pioli can be satisfied, his Scudetto group is intact, young and determined.
Even Inzaghi does not complain, however, after the great blow of Lukaku's return on loan, he was thinking of other arrivals for his
INTER
, in addition to Mikhtaryan in place of Perisic and valid elements for the bench.
Skriniar stayed, so Bremer faded and it's still unclear whether Dumfries' sacrifice is necessary.
There will be doubts to be dispelled after the tests with Lyon and Villarreal, but almost all the big names did not impress in the friendly.
The injury that raises doubts about Pogba's season only partially tarnishes Allegri's confidence.
JUVE seems
to
be back very competitive with the French, with an evergreen champion like Di Maria, with the addition of Bremer for De Ligt.
A winger like Kostic and a director like Paredes are missing (negotiations that seem to be about to break free) to make Juve the absolute favorite.
From the rear he finds the strong and confident ROMA that the Friedkin and Thiago Pinto are building with a series of successes due to the undisputed appeal of Mourinho.
Matic, Wijnaldum and Dybala are 90 pieces that fit into a growing team that recovers Spinazzola, has improved the bench and is about to greet the arrival of Belotti and a fifth defender.
There are the conditions for a great season.
Work in progress, however, in a still solid NAPLES that has rejuvenated and has incorporated three reliable owners such as Kim, Olivera and Kvaratskhelia, an outsider with great potential.
The probable arrival of Fabian Ruiz at PSG moves the market of De Laurentiis, who can close with Raspadori, Barak and Keylor Navas in goal, consequently favoring Juve who can harpoon Paredes, freed by the arrival of the Spaniard.
If Spalletti will be able to count on the various grafts, the Scudetto is also at hand.
Lotito is building a LAZIO in the image and likeness of Sarri: defense restructured and directed by Romagnoli;
Vecino and Marcos Antonio in midfield (but Luis Alberto will leave), Chancellors deputy property.
Many changes, but everything will depend on the defense set-up, yet to be registered.
Little is said about the ATALANTA that for once bought instead of selling, with the insertions of Ederson, Lookman and the ransom of Demiral.
If the group rediscovers the motivations and the right alchemy, Gasperini can recapture Europe.
A goal that you want to keep close to the Italian's FIORENTINA which has strengthened itself with Gollini, Dodo 'Mandragora and above all with the goalscorer Jovic, who wants to find himself after disappointing years.
VERONA wants to replicate at least ninth place but Cioffi's task will not be easy if, in addition to Caprari, Simeone and Barak will also leave.
Similar problems for TORINO, which tries to calm a Juric annoyed by the reinforcements that arrive with the dropper.
SASSUOLO should confirm Berardi and Frattesi, but besides Scamacca he could lose Raspadori.
All the others are focused on the rear-view mirror to keep away from the relegation zone except for UDINESE if they keep the attacking duo Beto-Deulofei, and BOLOGNA, if Arnautovic remains.
Spezia, Empoli and Salernitana try to save themselves with goals from Nzola, Destro and Bonazzoli.
Giampaolo's SAMP risks being held back by a complicated transfer of ownership.
Confident waiting for the three newly promoted:
Baroni's LECCE will need time to metabolize the many grafts, like Alvini's CREMONESE which had to replace the many protagonists of the promotion who were on loan.
A separate speech for the MONZA of Berlusconi and Galliani who made a stellar signing campaign that should guarantee him the left side of the ranking.
The new season should make it possible to improve the intervention mechanisms of the Var, confidently awaiting the experimentation of the semi-automatic offside at the World Championships.
The big news is also the promotion among the referees of the first woman, Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputo in the framework of the rejuvenation of the sector that led to some inevitable missteps last year.
These novelties and the return of the crowded stands (c '
is sold out even for the friendlies) should lead to a season of emotions and entertainment.
