Serie A preview, 21-23 September 2021

This first midweek round of the 2021-22 Serie A season is headlined by champions Internazionale travelling to Stadio Artemio Franchi to take on hosts Fiorentina. The Nerazzurri have made a positive start to the defence of their Scudetto – despite the loss of manager Antonio Conte and key players such as Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi – but current boss Simone Inzaghi believes there is still room for improvement.

“I knew I was going to meet an important challenge,” Inzaghi said of taking over the managerial position from Conte. “The fans and the environment are going in one direction. They all know that we have gone through very important sales to stabilise the club. Now we must all go in the same direction and react to the difficulties, and as mentioned our motivation will make a difference.”

Inter’s cross-town rivals, AC Milan, will have a home clash against Venezia, while Juventus will target three points from their trip to Spezia – with veteran defender Leonardo Bonucci admitting that the Bianconeri have not lived up to their own high standards thus far in the new season.

“Juve are not the ones from yesterday,” said Bonucci. “Now it’s time to work and get results.”

Elsewhere, Roma will target a victory at the Stadio Olimpico when Udinese visit the ‘Eternal City’, with the hosts hoping that former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham can continue to make a major impact.

“I spoke to [manager] Jose [Mourinho] and [general manager] Thiago [Pinto] before coming here,” said the English striker. “They told me the ambition of the club, they want from the club and how they see the club moving forward.

“I am someone who is very ambitious myself, so when I see a vision and I believe in a vision, and I believe I can help in the vision, I give my all. I am here to win. I didn’t come here just to play, to score, I’m here to help the team as much as possible and hopefully lift a trophy at the end.”

This midweek round also features Atalanta hosting Sassuolo, Napoli visiting Sampdoria and Torino playing host to Lazio, with Le Aquile hoping to continue the free-scoring form that saw them rocket to the top of the standings early in the campaign.
