  "account": "Serie A champions Inter Milan kicked off their season with a convincing 4-1 victory over Monza, setting the tone for a successful start. As they prepare to face Cagliari on Sunday, their main rivals Napoli have also enjoyed a strong opening day, winning 2-0 against Genoa. Inter, who won the Scudetto last season by 11 points, were vulnerable early in their campaign but have since recovered, securing another dominant win against Monza. Cagliari, on the other hand, had a challenging season last year, narrowly avoiding relegation and losing both matches against Inter. Inter are likely to stick with the starting lineup that defeated Monza, with their English signings John Stones, Djed Spence, and Curtis Jones set to make their debuts in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, Napoli, now managed by Massimiliano Allegri, will host Como, a team that recently achieved their first-ever European campaign. The upcoming match between Inter and Napoli at the San Siro will likely determine the standings, with both teams eager to start their campaigns on an even footing.",
