La 'vecchia
signora', con Andrea Pirlo en el banquillo, persigue su décimo 'scudetto'
consecutivo. El Inter volverá a ser su mayor rival.
La Serie A vuelve
coherente con este momento histórico: repleta de incógnitas. Después de nueve
años dominando el campeonato, la Juventus llega a un paso del décimo scudetto
seguido con más dudas que nunca. Firmar a Sarri fue un fracaso y Agnelli lo
certificó echándole y apostando por Pirlo, que acababa de empezar su periplo
como entrenador. El Maestro se sacó en esta semana el título UEFA Pro, y
promete un fútbol ofensivo y 'líquido', pero le quedan pendientes muchas
tareas.
La primera es el
delantero centro: despedido Higuaín y asumidas las dificultades para fichar a
Suárez, la vecchia signora espera a Dzeko, que debería llegar al principio de
la siguiente semana. Hay mucha expectativa sobre los nuevos, Arthur, McKennie y
Kulusevski, aunque todo apunta a que turineses se agarrarán una vez más al
talento de Dybala y al insaciable Cristiano. El Inter, por primera vez en la
última década, empieza un curso al mismo nivel de su eterno rival.
Algunas webs de
estadísticas hasta dan por favorito al equipo de Conte, que en su temporada de
estreno logró un segundo puesto a un punto del liderato y una final de la
Europa League. En el mercado, apostó sobre todo por mantener a su maravillosa
pareja ofensiva, Lautaro-Lukaku, aunque Achraf representa una de las
incorporaciones más importantes y Vidal está muy cerca. La tercera plaza en la
parrilla de salida debe ser para el Atalanta. El conjunto de Gasperini cerró el
último curso peleando por el scudetto y rozando una semifinal de Champions. A
la espera de la vuelta de Ilicic tras su misteriosa desaparición, el técnico
podrá contar con otro jugón como Miranchuk: la dea tiene papeletas para meterse
en el duelo entre nerazzurri y bianconeri.
La pelea por el
cuarto puesto estará muy interesante. La Lazio de Immobile y Luis Alberto es
una certeza, pero no se ha reforzado mucho y regresar a la Champions 13 años
después pasa factura. Ahí, la experiencia de Pepe Reina será una gran ayuda. El
Milán de Pioli tiene la ilusión de un proyecto por fin sólido, con la
continuidad de Ibrahimovic, Theo y las llegadas de Tonali y Brahim. El Nápoles
de Gattuso también necesita volver a la Copa de Europa y protagonizó el fichaje
más caro hasta ahora, el del nigeriano Osimhen (70M€). La Roma, en cambio,
acaba de empezar la era Friedkin y apunta a un curso de transición.
Vuelve, entonces,
una Serie A entretenida, pero con sabor agridulce: sin tifosi, no es la misma.
Mañana el Parma-Nápoles y el Sassuolo-Cagliari abrirán a unos 1.000
espectadores gracias a la región Emilia-Romaña. La esperanza es que esta
decisión marque el camino de las demás.
