The 2007-08 Serie A season will be the seventy-sixth since its establishment, and started on August 26, 2007.[1] The fixtures and schedule of the games were drawn and released on July 31, 2007 at 19:00 CEST in Rome.[2] Internazionale, the defending Serie A champions, started at home against Udinese.
Events
Plusvalenze investigation
Inquiries are being conducted by the CO.VI.SOC. (Italian football's financial watchdogs) into the finances of four Serie A clubs (Internazionale, Milan, Sampdoria, and Reggina) who stand accused of falsely inflating player values - a practice known as plusvalenze in Italian - in order to qualify financially for the 2005-06 Serie A campaign. If the allegations prove true, penalties could range from fines to point deductions, relegation to Serie B, and even the stripping of Internazionale's 2005-06 scudetto (which was actually stripped from Juventus as a result of the Calciopoli scandal before being awarded to Internazionale). [3]
Lazio fan killed by police
In the morning of November 11, 2007 26-year old Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri, a DJ from Rome, was killed,[4] apparently by a policeman, after the police had clashed with Juventus ultras on the A1 Motorway service station of Badia al Pino in Arezzo.[5] Early reports suggested that a stray bullet from a gun, set to distract the group of ultras, hit the Lazio fan in the neck as he sat in a car and killed him.[5] An emergency meeting set up between Lega Calcio president Antonio Matarrese and police chief Antonio Manganelli decided that the game between Inter and Lazio would be called off, but the rest of the fixtures would go ahead that day, starting at a slightly later time (about 10 minutes later).[4] The Atalanta–Milan game was eventually suspended following unrest caused by local ultras attempting to break off the protection glass in order to invade the pitch and stop the match. Later in the afternoon, the Italian Football Federation chose to postpone also the game between AS Roma and Cagliari, whose kick off was scheduled for 8.30 pm at Stadio Olimpico, Rome. However, this did not prevent violent riots, as hundreds of armed hooligans attacked a police barracks and the CONI (Italian Olympic National Committee) headquarters in Rome.[6]
Sandri's death was later shown to have been caused by a tragic error by a policeman who allegedly did not recognize him as a football fan.[7] Prosecutors then opted initially to open an inquiry into manslaughter against the policeman.[8]
2007-2008 teams
Ascoli and Messina were both mathematically consigned to Serie B following their losses (coupled with Chievo's victory over Parma) on May 6.[9] Chievo were relegated on a dramatic final day of the season following a 2-0 loss to Catania and other results going against them.[10]
The three relegated teams have been replaced by three of the giants of Italian football who won promotion from Serie B. The first is Juventus, who clinched a top-two finish with their 5-1 drubbing of Arezzo on May 19.[11] They return to the top flight after their Calciopoli-imposed relegation despite the accompanying 9-point penalty.
On June 10 both Genoa and Napoli were promoted automatically to Serie A on a dramatic final day. Under Serie B's complicated promotion rules, a 10-points or more gap between the third-placed and the fourth-placed sides would see the play-offs cancelled. While a draw was enough for Napoli to secure the second automotic promotion spot, their opposition needed all three points or for their closest rivals Piacenza not to win. The 0-0 draw between Genoa and Napoli coupled with Piacenza's 1-1 against Triestina, resulted in Genoa finishing 10 points ahead of Piacenza and promotion back to the top flight.[12]
