Preview: Which side will have a dream Serie A debut?
Milan are under pressure to do better than they did last season. Qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is not enough. The Rossoneri are targeting the title. To achieve their dream, a great start will be required. The chase for the Scudetto begins on August 24, 2013.
Hellas Verona are minnows and dropping points against them will be a disgrace. The hosts are not what they used to be decades ago when they finished as runners-up in the 1976, 1983 and 1984 Copa Italia before lifting the 1985 Italian Football Championship.
These glorious moments are in the past. Although form is temporary and class is permanent, few expect Hellas Verona to make a great impact on their return to top-flight football in Italy. However, Milan defender Ignazio Abate remains cautious considering the fact that the Rossoneri could clinch nothing more than draws in two of their last three trips to the Marc'Antonio Bentegodi stadium.
“We will have a big game on a difficult pitch. We expect it will be sold out in Verona, it has been their desire and dream so we need to watch out,” he told the club’s official website.
