In so many ways, last season, Serie A was the best of Europe’s top five leagues.
Juventus and Napoli last season created the fiercest and most intense championship race in Europe.
That attraction has drawn fans back.
As if to compensate for that sadness, the movements in the summer promise that the new Serie A season will be even better than the previous season.
Across pizzerias and bars in Italy, tifosi are commenting on how Ronaldo will be looked after by defenders in Serie A.
But that’s only part of the whole story.
Ronaldo brings excitement and excitement that has not been seen in Serie A for more than a decade.
At the Coverciano national training center, a generation of young coaches also began to choose the path to honor Arrigo Sacchi’s legacy.
But Gonzalo Higuain (Milan), Mauro Icardi (Inter), Edin Dzeko (Roma), Dries Mertens (Napoli), Andrea Belotti (Torino) and Ciro Immobile (Lazio) will not sit idly by and watch the rookie make waves.
Before the ball rolled, Juventus was still the number one candidate.
After Liverpool, the most impressive performance in Europe last season belonged to AS Roma, who reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 34 years.
Higuain going to Milan will join the group of strikers competing fiercely for the top scorer position in Serie A in the new season with Ronaldo.
Inter seems to be the team that has increased the most quality.
With Gonzalo Higuain, Milan finally has a worthy successor to the number 9 shirt that Pippo Inzaghi left behind.
The excitement is not only present in the above group.
The exciting news for the new coach of the Italian team, Roberto Mancini, is that young talents will have more opportunities to express themselves.
Young stars like Chiesa are expected to light up Serie A even more.
Romantics will be watching Parma, returning after three years of diving in the lower leagues.
Serie A, after more than a decade of ruin, is adjusting to being lovely again.
