Inter Milan boss Mazzarri: Torino tough opener

Inter Milan boss Walter Mazzarri rates Torino as a tough opening day fixture

The Serie A fixtures were released this morning.

"Torino is one of the toughest places to play in Serie A against a team that is well-drilled, finished the last season on a high and qualified for the Europa League," Mazzarri told the official Inter website.

"However, every game in Serie A hides dangers and they are all very difficult."

Nerazzurri fans are already looking forward to the Derby della Madonnina with Milan in Week 12 and Juventus in Week 17.

"Of course, these are the classics. The Derby is a little earlier compared to last season, but Juve are right at the end, whereas last time we faced them at the start.

"These are prestigious games, but it doesn't matter when they take place, as sooner or later you've got to face everybody."
