New Empoli coach Andrea Andreazzoli admits he faces the toughest start against Inter Milan today.
Andreazzoli stepped in this week after Paolo Zanetti's sacking.
He said: "The objective is the comparison. Inter express a game that I like very much, they have a lot variety. It's not that I have to arrive to highlight the strength of the opponent.
"We have the opportunity to confront ourselves with a beautiful and convincing reality. There are no better opportunities to see what level we are at.
"The path is made up of steps, tomorrow it will be the first."
