AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng is excited about Friday's kickoff against Lazio.
The championship failed to start in August after the Week 1 games were postponed due to strike action and the international break then caused a further delay.
"I can't wait to start," the versatile midfielder told Sky Sport Italia ahead of Friday's opening game between his Rossoneri and Lazio.
"Pre-season was very long and all of us are anxious to start kicking the ball around on the field of play again."
