Serie A women, hunt for Juve in the rebirth league

After the disappointment at the European Championships, the first pro season begins: the bianconere champions in the last 5 years start as favorites and open tonight with Como. Tomorrow Milan-Fiorentina from 17 on La7 and Gazzetta.it

The beginning of a new era. It comes at the sunset of a sad summer for women’s football, but at the dawn of the first season that the protagonists of the Serie A championship will live as professionals. The Trabattoni stadium in Seregno, which will host tonight’s advance between Como and Juventus, will make history. There is a new ball (Nike Flight), a new formula, but the hunt for the usual Juventus, which has always won the Scudetto since it entered women’s football. Five out of five, given that after the four of Rita Guarino came the title of Joe Montemurro. “Serie A? Many teams have taken important players, the quality will rise “. And if someone who arrived a year ago from the English championship says it, you have to believe him. Professionalism encourages young people to start playing but also foreigners to arrive. And it is no coincidence that Juventus have taken a European champion like Gunnarsdottir and Dutch Beerensteyn from Bayern, who won the European Championship in 2017 with the Netherlands. They will be needed immediately, as Gama, Pedersen and Bonansea are out due to injury. Another detail: the clubs can now collect from the sales, and this is what the Juventus club did by letting Hurtig leave for Arsenal.

Two in the Champions

Juventus’s season has already begun, like that of Roma: both have brilliantly passed the mini-qualifying round for the Champions League preliminary. Juventus, in the champions path, should have a more downhill path; Roma, on the other hand, will have to eliminate one of PSG, Bayern, Arsenal, Sparta Prague and Real Madrid. In the meantime, Alessandro Spugna’s team – reinforced, among others, by Giacinti, the Swedish Landstrom, the Austrian Wenninger and the Japanese Minami – starts again from Pomigliano and from the challenge against one of the two teams – the other is Como – expression of non-professional clubs.

The others

The two Milanese, returning from a trip to America, will have to make the championship as exciting as possible. The Rossoneri, still in the hands of Ganz, have taken the Swedish star Asllani and added to the squad (among others) the sisters Dubcova, Soffia, Vigilucci and Mascarello; Inter, again with Rita Guarino (among the reinforcements the Dutch Van der Gragt and the Malawian Chawinga stand out), aim to get even closer to the big names. There is the usual Sassuolo of the young, there is Fiorentina which has rebuilt itself after the bad season last (and immediately faces Milan, in the first live on La7 and on Gazzetta.it), there are Sampdoria in the second year and the new Parma which is well equipped after taking over the Empoli title. And above all, in September, there is a World Cup to be won: after the first day, immediately the stop that must be that of the Italian rebirth.
