"Long live Monza's first promotion to Serie A! What's next? That's about winning serie A and competing in the Champions League! This is the rhetoric of Monza boss Berlusconi in an interview.
After his first promotion to Serie A, Monza did not aim for relegation as other newly promoted teams, but actively operated in the transfer market.
Since the opening of the Serie A transfer window on July 1 to today, in just 20 days, Monza has signed players to double digits, becoming the most active Serie A team in the transfer market this summer, and there is no sign of stopping reinforcements, which fully shows that Monza's goal in the new season is far more than relegation.
Founded in 1912, Monza, despite its 110-year history, never made an appearance in Serie A, the top venue, until Berlusconi took over, and the team immediately changed dramatically.
As the former chairman of AC Milan, Berlusconi has always maintained a love of football, and after losing Milan, Berlusconi was not lonely, and in September 2018, he acquired Monza and invited Milan's former general manager Galliani as CEO. Joining forces, we finally managed to get Monza into Serie A this year.
After being promoted to Serie A, the two began to operate wildly, and in just 20 days, they have signed 10 new signings, namely goalkeepers Corranio and Sollentino. Centre-backs Carboni, Ranocchio, Malone and right-back Billindley. Midfielders Filippo-Ranocchia, Pescina, Sensi. Striker Caprari. Among them, Sensi, Pescina and Caprari are all active Italian internationals.
The addition of 10 new signings, including three lines in front of the midfield, greatly enhanced Monza's competitiveness, but Monza did not end there in the transfer market. At present, Monza is also considering the introduction of Napoli striker Petania, but also pinamonti and Kutrone. If the transfer goes well, the strength of the front line will also be greatly improved.
Although Monza's current squad has a certain paper advantage over other small teams in Serie A, whether it can play the desired effect in the new season depends on the coach's tuning. Compared with the big teams in Serie A, Monza's strength is still lacking. Therefore, for Monza, the goal of the new season to hit the middle of the league and sit in Europe is more realistic.
Although Monza is difficult to match Juventus and Milan in a short period of time, under the operation of Berlusconi and Galliani, Monza is undoubtedly one of the existences that cannot be ignored in the new season of Serie A.
