The Italian Football Championship is one of the strongest in the Old World. In the UEFA rankings, the Italian national championship (Serie A) is ranked fourth after the Spaniards, Germans and British.
Twenty clubs take part in the top Italian football division (Serie-A). According to the rules of the tournament, teams must play one match with rivals at home and away - a total of 38 matches. Half of the season is the end of the first round when all clubs play one game against each other.
The main surprise of the start of the Italian Championship was the disastrous performance of the reigning champion Juventus. Although the club lost the leading players in the holding zone and offensive, few could imagine Juve in 16th place in the table after a month and a half of the season.
I was pleasantly surprised by Inter Milan - a team from which a lot is always expected, but lately the club does not please the fans. Perhaps the 2015-2016 season is an exception. According to the results of the first round, Inter took the third place in the table and shares points with Juventus, who managed to improve the game during the season and break into the ranks of the leaders.
Leadership after the first round in Italy belongs to Napoli. The Neapolitans, led by Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain, show very meaningful football, which has already prompted experts to call this club one of the main contenders for the Scudetto.
Fiorentina is located in one place from the Champions League zone. The game shown by the Florentines may well make the club championship winners. In general, the Italian championship of the 2015-2016 season seems to be the most unpredictable over the past 4 years.
The famous “Milan”, the Roman “Lazio”, “Torino” settled tightly in the middle of the tournament table. In the relegation zone, at the end of the first round, are located "Verona" and two newcomers of the season: "Carpi" and "Frosinone".
The full table of the results of the first round of Serie-A 2015-2016 is as follows:
The high density in the table means that the second half of the Italian football season will be very exciting for the fans.
