Italian champions Juventus face a tough
start to the season with the Serie A
fixtures for the upcoming campaign
having been released.
Juventus' title defence will begin with a
trip to the only side that beat them
twice last season, Sampdoria, before
hosting Lazio, followed by a potentially
tricky away contest against Walter
Mazzari's Inter Milan.
The Turin-based club's CEO Guiseppe Marotta has claimed Juventus were always
going to be given a tough start to the season after winning back-to-back Serie A
titles.
"Surely this is the hardest start of the season in the past three years," Marotta said.
"But this happens when we are the club to beat as we have won two titles in a row.
"Realistically, we take it positively and immediately facing such threats will let us
understand who we are this season."
After winning the past two titles in Italy's top tier, Juventus have further
strengthened their attacking reserves with Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente
joining the club.
