It was the best league in the world in the nineties, when all the big players gave preference to their fleets rather than to any other competition, Milan or Juventus large and dominated Europe and the huge amounts of the sponsors made great Parma or Lazio. However, the last decade was a recession despite the teams continue sending Milan in the Champions League and selection are world champions. The scandals of corruption and match-fixing, the country still trans splashes, the resulting decline in Turin giant's offices and the economic downturn caused the Serie A won lost ground against the League or Premier. However, the 2011 has seen at least athletically, Calcium has glimpsed a path through the fog.
Optimism can not be exaggerated, there is still a long way to go, but the mere fact that Italy is the country that has representatives in the second round of the Champions League is a cause for celebration but neither Milan, Inter Milan and Naples are among the favorites to lift the title. In addition, the Serie A has regained competitiveness and several teams that did not lift his head began to hang out at the top of the table to delight of many. The biggest problem lies off the lawn, where corruption continues to raise scandals that have to be tackled root whatever the name of those responsible. Nothing new, in short, an Italian football that you saw in 1980 how a myth as Paolo Rossi would be involved in a betting scandal two years before being World Champion and Golden Ball
Several clubs may consider this 2011 that ends up as a great year. The Milan regained the Scudetto after Inter's domain five years and eight of absence at the top end of the season. A team, the Rossoneri, who slowly rejuvenate its workforce and the hand of his star Ibrahimovic pointer returns to Calcium. Another great story of the year for the Serie A is the resurgence of the Juventus scandal after Moggigate . With former player Antonio Conte on the bench and a handful of successful signings as Pirlo, Lichtsteiner, Vidal or Vucinic, plus the leadership of Chiellini, Marchisio Buffon or the Bianconeri team has put together a good team that is co-leader along with Milan . Calcium needs without doubt the best version of the Vecchia Signora.
The Naples is another great news. After his disappearance and re-founding in 2004 by economic problems and the ascent from C1 to Serie A, which culminated in 2007 was with Juventus, the team of San Paolo was the great revelation of last season to finish third, to achieve Champions go to and fight for the title even. With Walter Mazzarri on the bench and Cavani, Lavezzi or Hamsik as stars, the Azzurri again dream as did his team in the eighties with Maradona and Careca. That lasts. With film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis as the architect from the stage, Napoli has starred in one of the big surprises of the Champions League Manchester City to eliminate and make the pass to second round where they will face Chelsea, with a guarded prognosis.
Another team that will keep a good memory of 2011 is the Udinese. The club survives Friuli-Venezia Giulia year after year with moderate budget, sales of big stars, success in the transfer market, and a job well done Di Natale that exploded after the thirties and won two trophies capocannoniere. Quarters last season, this year has overcome the loss of sensitive Alexis Sanchez, Inler or shoes and are third in the table two points behind Milan and Juventus. The great merit of this modest club of northern Italy. Another team is cause for celebration with Lazio. Without reaching the heights of the nineties, the Roman club resumed leadership positions in the table and Klose Hernanes like stars. In February, will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
At the opposite highlight the historic Sampdoria, which a fateful end of the season condemned to Serie B twenty years after playing the final of the Champions League against Barcelona. Inter did not shine as Mourinho stage although the final runner crown and title of the season partly alleviated. It started well with the current coaching change included, although in recent days has regained a pulse. It also expects much more from the Rome of Luis Enrique, if disputed, after a generous financial outlay last summer. Moreover, the loss of stars like Alexis said Pastore or subtracted brightness to the championship, but this did not prevent the calcium re-look optimistically to the future and recover the glory days.
