"Juventus" director: "Serie A" should better protect clubs representing Italy in Europe © EuroFootball.com

"Juventus" director Beppe Marotta was displeased with the announced "Serie A" schedule. Antonio Conte's champions will start the competition in Genoa, with the "Sampdoria" club being the only team that last year managed to defeat the "black and whites" twice. "Juventus" will also face matches against "Torino," "Milan," and "Fiorentina." "The league should protect those clubs that represent Italy in Europe. I know it can be difficult, but it would benefit everyone," the manager said. "We are facing a tough start to the Serie A and the team must be aggressive, that's our trademark. We definitely have not lost the desire to win the championship for the third time in a row," Marotta said.
