A ten-month long Scudetto It will be played from August to June

For the first time a round in August, 50 days of stop for the World Championship

torino

Almost 300 days spread over a ten-month journey. The new Serie A has fielded its thirty-eight stages, two rounds, round trip, “asymmetrical” like the last adventure. Almost three hundred days to chase the Scudetto, today at Milan, who knows on 4 June: knowing the calendar so early does not give breath to the forecasts because we are closer to the past championship than to what is to come and on the market there is little to say .

The new Serie A is that of a break never seen before: the last day on November 13, resumed on January 4, in the midst of a World Cup that does not belong to us, but which belongs to the history of a football that is increasingly on the move up, precisely, to play the most prestigious event in the middle of winter for our realities.

It begins on 13, 14 and 15 August and is already an unprecedented one: waiting to know who will be opening the dances, in the calendar there are two matches (18.30 and 20.45) on the day of August and if it is true that the championship started twenty-four times in the month consecrated to the sun and the beach, it had never been on the pitch in mid-August. The champion Milan will restart from Udinese at San Siro, Juve from Sassuolo at the Stadium, Inter in Salento against Lecce and, then, the curious Berlusconi-Cairo match in Monza-Turin. On the third of the four August days, here are the first jolts: Juventus-Roma and Lazio-Inter. At the first stage of September, the duel that lights up Milan, and beyond: the Milanese derby.

Juve’s first away match will be in front of Sampdoria and will continue its journey away from home in the Fiorentina den: in the tenth, the all-Turin duel with the grenades. Toro, in addition to the trip to Monza, will see Lazio at Grande Torino, then Cremonese and Atalanta out and Lecce at home: the Juric boys will challenge the three newly promoted in twenty days and they will be three traps given the inevitable initial enthusiasm of those who know , or find again, the Serie A. The longest championship will end with barrels because the penultimate will cross Juve and Milan and because for Inter the last 270 ‘will mean Naples and Turin far from San Siro with the insidious Atalanta in the middle.

Our ball starts moving very quickly. And in getting started it wants to borrow more and more habits and customs in vogue elsewhere: already mentioned of the “asymmetrical” groups, the League wanted to indicate the seven windows in which it will dictate advances and postponements to meet the fans and their desire to organize trips or appointments. Thursday we will know what will happen in the first 5 stages, on August 30th from the sixth to the sixteenth. And so on. –
