On this evening, the battle for "Serie A" gold will begin for Italian football clubs. Before the start of these championships, Forza Italian Football suggests paying attention to five things that caused the most interest before the start of this season. Debutants Last season, all eyes were on the "Carpi" team, which has been successfully climbing the Italian leagues in recent seasons and made their debut in the "Serie A" championships last year. However, their performance in the league lasted only one season, and alongside them, the other league debutants, "Frosinone", also dropped out of "Serie A". This season, the "Crotone" team hoped for a more successful debut, which will play their first match in the "Serie A" championships this weekend. Last season, debutants were left without points in the first round, so "Crotone" hopes to start the season more successfully and in the away game against "Bologna", they aim to achieve a historic point for the team. The other two teams that played in "Serie B" last season, "Cagliari" and "Pescara", will start their season respectively with "Genoa" and at home against "Napoli". Big Summer Signings Today, the biggest "Serie A" summer signing, Gonzalo Higuain, should make his debut for "Juventus". With his new team, he will face "Fiorentina", and these matches in the first round generate the most intrigue. "Fiorentina" kept almost all of their main team players this summer, so it will not be an easy task for the reigning champions. In these matches, we will not only see Higuain's debut - Medhi Benatia, Marko Pjaca, and Dani Alves may also play their first matches for "Juventus". Other players, whose debut will be interesting to watch this weekend, are Napoli's new signings Arkadiusz Milik and Emanuele Giaccherini, Inter's new purchase Antonio Candreva, and Thomas Vermaelen, who had an unsuccessful start in the Champions League with Roma and received a red card, hopes for a much more successful start in the Italian championship. New Owners Although it was talked about all summer, the new owners officially took over AC Milan just a couple of weeks ago when the Chinese consortium finally signed all the necessary documents and bought the shares from the former owner Silvio Berlusconi. This change of ownership signifies a new era for AC Milan, which ended a 30-year period when the club was led by Berlusconi. The new owners have not had enough time to make significant changes to the team yet, but it will be interesting to see how the fans will welcome the Chinese owners. Berlusconi and the other AC Milan management had been receiving criticism and protests lately, however, whether the new owners will be able to attract a full stadium for the season opener against Torino, and how the team's attendance statistics will change, we will be able to see during the upcoming season. The Black Horses Last season, Sassuolo surprised everyone, even themselves, when they secured their first flight to European competitions in the club's history, just three years after playing in the "Serie A". At the moment, the Italians are fighting in the Europa League qualifying round against Red Star, so they may lack time to prepare for league matches, but a 3-0 victory in the first match suggests that they may have to get used to it. On Sunday, Sassuolo hoped for a successful start in the "Serie A" championships against Palermo, and watching the performance of this team will be interesting throughout the season. The biggest surprise of last year's Italian football will try to do everything to avoid being forgotten this season. New Coaches This summer, changes were made not only in the team compositions - we will also see many new coaches. The most talked-about situation was in Milan, where both teams are starting the season with new strategists. AC Milan entrusted Vincent Montella with the helm, while Inter replaced Roberto Mancini with Frank De Boer. The coaching change at Milan directly affected the staff of two other teams - Sampdoria had to look for a replacement for Montella and ultimately acquired Marco Giampaolo, while Sinisa Mihajlovic, who lost his job in Milan, took over as the coach of Torino when Giampiero Ventura replaced him in the Italian national team. However, these were by no means the only coaches who were changed in Italy this offseason. Empoli, Udinese, Genoa, Atalanta, Crotone, and Lazio are starting the season with new strategies and new hopes. New coaches usually need time to adjust to a new club, but this season, half of the Serie A clubs will start the season with new strategists, and they will have to prove their worth from the very first round. "Serie A" first round: Saturday: 19:00 "Roma" - "Udinese" 21:45 "Juventus" - "Fiorentina" Sunday: 19:00 "Milan" - "Torino" 21:45 "Atalanta" - "Lazio" 21:45 "Bologna" - "Crotone" 21:45 "Chievo" - "Inter" 21:45 "Empoli" - "Sampdoria" 21:45 "Genoa" - "Cagliari" 21:45 "Palermo" - "Sassuolo" 21:45 "Pescara" - "Napoli"
