After a day of lively discussion about the Champions League draw, all eyes turned to the transfer market and the upcoming league.

Affected by the financial crisis last season, this season's Serie A summer transfer has not yet been blockbuster, and Parma striker Gilardino with a price of UU million euros is now the target king, he successfully transferred from Parma to AC Milan, increasing Milan's forward power and finding a bigger stage for himself

This was followed by UU 10,000 euros from Arsenal to Juventus for Vieira, 16 UU for Inter Samuel from Real Madrid and 15 million for Pizarro from Udinese to Inter.

Toney and Bodinov transferred to Fiorentina, spending a total of 1300000 euros for De La Valle, 13000 euros each, in previous seasons, the value of 1300 is really not worth mentioning, but in this season's Serie A is already ranked fifth.

Counting Gambellini, Montolivo, Pasquel and Pacini, Fiorentina's transfer expenditure this season has exceeded 35UU, the first in Serie A, but Fiorentina is not satisfied, they are still pursuing Lazio's Ledesma and Palermo's Collini, as well as Udinese's Pachenza, but judging from the current situation, Fiorentina has little hope of getting Collini and Ledesma, and the possibility of Pacenza's transfer is also very small.

With less than a week to go until the transfer market closes, Fiorentina's basic squad has been almost constructed, with some unwanted players such as Rigano also moving to Empoli, and while Fiorentina's transfer officials are still working hard, the main focus has shifted to preparing for the first game of the new season.

Although the new season's Serie A is not as chaotic as last season, it is an expansion and a boycott, but it is affected by the economic crisis.

Torino and Genoa, who were supposed to be promoted from Serie B, were unable to register in Serie A due to financial problems, and finally a week before the start of the league, Treviso and Ascoli were confirmed as the lucky ones and unexpectedly promoted to Serie A with Empoli.

Also because of the economic crisis, the teams in the transfer market have not done much, the change in strength is limited, and the championship and European pattern of last season may continue.

Milan and Juventus remain the favourites to win the title. In order to prevent Maldini from declining in old age, AC Milan not only kept Kaladze, but also brought in Jankulovski on the left side to strangle the hidden danger in the cradle. At the same time, the arrival of Vieri and Gilardino has also perfected the team's attacking combination. A similar situation has been seen with Juventus. After letting go of a group of players who couldn't play, Juventus suddenly brought in Vieira to form the most powerful midfield combination in Serie A. Inter Milan continued to change their spending habits, bringing in Solari and Figo for free, while buying Samuel and Pizarro for 000,000 euros, consolidating the team's central axis.

The improvement of strength and the filling of shortcomings are only one of the conditions for the top three in the north of Serie A to win the championship, and more importantly, the understanding of professional football and the management and operation of professional football by these three teams far exceed those of other teams in the Apennines. That's how they became the dominant players in Apennine football.

With the continuous investment of the shoe king de la Valle, Fiorentina has become the team that spends the most money in the Serie A transfer market, even if it is squeezed out and contained by Juventus, Fiorentina's three lines have also been greatly improved, especially the young coach Prandelli and Tony, Bodinov, Brokifeore and other stars joined, so that Fiorentina continues to become the spoiler of the championship group.

"Juventus must guard against Fiorentina if they want to defend their title, and only by beating it can they win the title, and the same goes for other teams who want to win the title," said Torino Panorama Sport. ”

Roma's "Sports Post" said: "Fiorentina continued to create miracles from last season to this summer, Chen Yu's magic, the stability of the back line is the most valuable asset, this season Chen Yu stayed, Prandelli came, I believe they will create new miracles." ”

Last season's impressive Serie A, in addition to Fiorentina replacing Inter Milan and disrupting the duo of AC Milan and Juventus, should be a huge relegation team. In the penultimate round, in addition to Atalanta, which is guaranteed to be relegated, one of the remaining two relegation places has been involved. In the end, Brescia and Bologna, who had always been known for their connections, suffered relegation.

And such a situation of relegation for thousands of troops may still occur this season.

Compared with last season's promotion of Serie A, which even affected the pattern of championship and European competition, this season's promotion horse must be weak.

Due to the limited time left for the two promoted teams, Matreviso and Ascoli, to form an army. With little time and money, Treviso and Ascoli have no choice but to pick up some goods in the transfer market to give the Serie A veterans room to play their spare time. Although Empoli confirmed promotion early, the reality of shyness in the pocket has left the team with few decent transfers, and only Fiorentina-funded centre-forward Rigano has some power, but the prospect of relegation is also not optimistic.

In fact, there are many "poor people" like the three promoted horses in Serie A. With the exception of Palermo and Fiorentina, the transfer funds of other teams are only a few million or even hundreds of thousands of euros. Accumulating points at the beginning of the season and then staring at the relegation line until the end of the season should be a realistic goal for these teams. Due to the increasing proximity of the strength of the middle and lower teams, coupled with the intricate relationship, it is believed that by April next year, a large number of teams will be crowded outside the relegation zone and fight for one or two points of life-saving points.

The curtain is about to open on Serie A, who are the favourites among the top three of Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan? Empoli, Treviso and Ascoli, who are most likely to be relegated? Who will be the top scorer for Chen Yu, Adriano, Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic and other forwards? The major bookmakers in Europe have given their opinions and opinions.

Although many experts and media believe that Inter Milan's squad has changed a lot this season and its strength has increased, in the eyes of gambling companies, AC Milan and Juventus, the two teams with more championship traditions, still have a better chance. Among the other teams, Fiorentina and Roma and Sampdoria are favorites.

AC Milan are 37 to win the title, Inter Milan are 4UU and Fiorentina are 29: Roma and Sampdoria are even lower at 5

In terms of underdogs, both are similar, with bookmakers not favouring the three promoted teams Matreviso, Ascoli and Empoli, who are also the most likely teams to be relegated along with Reggina.

In the odds of the scorer list, Chen Yu ranked first with 4, and AC Milan's two goalscorers, Gilardino and Shevchenko, ranked second and third respectively. Juventus' two strikers, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic, are tied for fourth with LL, while last season's goalscorer Lucarelli, as well as Vieri, Toney and Montella, are tied for 13th

August P.

Defending champions Juventus will host Chievo, last season's "double champions" AC Milan will face promoted Ascoli away from home, Inter Milan will once again be the league champion at the San Siro host promoted Matreviso, while Fiorentina will face Sampdoria, one of the seven sisters of the year.

Fiorentina and Sampdoria have played a total of 94 games in the history of Serie A, with Fiorentina winning 3l and drawing 35 losing P, scoring 103 goals and conceding 103 goals; Home wins, 17 draws, 8 losses, goals conceded 35 goals are completely dominant.

However, a mid-tier team like Sampdoria already has the ability to hurt a strong team like Fiorentina, and Fiorentina will have to start preparing everything to continue their good momentum and form in pre-season.

As they prepare for their first league game, Fiorentina held a farewell ceremony for their striker and veteran Ricano.

After the arrival of center forward Toney, Rigano actually has no possibility of staying, because Tony and Ricano's technical characteristics are very similar, but Tony is younger and stronger, and his skills are a little stronger, and obviously Fiorentina knows who to keep.

Rigano has been playing with Fiorentina since the C period and is one of Fiorentina's only three remaining veteran players, the other two being Chen Yu and Maggio, who have now grown into the absolute mainstay of the team.

In fact, it is okay for Rigano not to go, with the love of the past, and loyalty to Fiorentina, De La Valle can give Rigano a chance to be a substitute, but it is difficult to say how many games he can play, after all, this season Fiorentina's goal is the league championship and the Champions League, and what is needed is a strong soldier.

If Rigano was as old as Di Livio, he would have stayed in Fiorentina to retire, but he was only 3l years old, and Rigano didn't want to retire so early, he still wanted to play, so he decided to leave Fiorentina to develop Empoli, who was very important to him.

With the league just around the corner, there was no way to invite other teams for Ricano's farewell match, so the club organized a match between the first team and the youth team.

In the match, which was watched by more than 20,000 fans, Rigano scored a hat-trick, with Chen Yu providing two assists and Maggio giving him one.

After the game, Rigano tearfully took off his jersey and threw it to the fans, then hugged his teammates one by one to say goodbye.

"Come on in Empoli, I'm still waiting for a derby with you and Goofy."

Chen Yu patted Ricano's broad back, feeling attached to the Italian bull who had a conflict with him at first, but later became a friend.

"Thank you, thank you, Chen, you worked hard to win the championship with Fiorentina, this is my dream, but I don't have a chance to achieve it."

Rigano Road.

Chen Yu nodded heavily, "I'll do my best." ”

Maggio walked over and put his arm around Ricano, "Christie, go to Empoli and play hard, don't be relegated."

Rigano punched Maggio in the chest, "Crow's mouth, you should also do well, help Chen, take a championship." ”

Maggio clenched his fists, "Christie, I will." You can go with confidence. ”

"We're working together."

Chen Yu wrapped his arms around the shoulders of Maggio and Ricano, and the three men hugged each other tightly.
