Lega Calcio Serie A, the highest soccer competition in Italy will begin this week. Twenty clubs will compete to win the scudetto serie A. Which team will be the best in Italy at the end of the sesaon?? Here is my preview about the contenders.
INTERNAZIONALE MILAN
Inter will be the most serious contender this season. They have won the scudetto for times in a row. Their President, Massimo Moratti, already declare that he wants the fifth consecutive Serie A title. To make his ambition into reality, Massimo Moratti strengthen Inter with new classy players. Lucio is ready to help Julio Cesar defending Inter's goal. Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito will replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score goals. Unfortunately, Inter begin this season with a bad start. Loosing to Lazio, they failed to take Italian Super Cup to Giuseppe Meazza. It will be good evaluation matter to The Special One Jose Mourinho. But still, Inter will be the number one contender.
JUVENTUS
The sleeping giant is starting to wake up. After the calciopoli scandal, they return to Serie A but never became champion again. And this season can be the right time to rise again. They have Chiro Ferarra as their head coach. Ferarra was the reliable defender for Juventus in the Marcelo Lippi era. And he also have become Lippi's assistant manager. So, it will be possible that he will be the successor of Juventus glory after Marcelo Lippi. Juventus have landed Diego Ribas da Cunha from Werder Bremen. He is a great playmaker. A playmaker is one of the most important condition to be fulfilled by Serie A clubs to win the Serie A title. And Juventus usually become a great team when they have a great playmaker. Michel Platini, Zinadin Zidane, and Pavel Nedved are the latest playmakers who brought glory to Juventus.
AS ROMA
AS Roma will be chasing Inter and Juve from behind. But it will be not easy for them to win the title. Francesco Totti is not young anymore and sometime has problem with injuries. Aquilani has move to Liverpool. But they have loan Burdisso from Inter to make their defense stronger. Daniele de Rossi will be relied to lead the Rome troops.
AC MILAN
Milan is in the mess this season. They lost at least three central figures of their glorious era. They are Carlo Ancelotti (former head coach), Ricardo Kaka' (former playmaker), and Paolo Maldini (former captain). They also have financial problem to be solved. Leonardo who replace Carlo Ancelotti is not experienced yet. Ronaldinho who will replace Kaka' as playmaker was not in a good performance in last few seasons. And they also need to find Maldini's successor. But there always be a hope. They still have Alexandre Pato and Klas Jan Huntelaar. Those two will be the key of Milan's attack. Pato is a very talented player. Ancelotti really wants to have him in his Chelsea squad. Huntelaar will be very motivated to be the next Marco van Basten. Milan usually very lucky if they have Holland player in their squad.
