Vacations are over, summer is over, children are back in school and the dreadful rituals are back in play. What a bummer right? Heck no! Not for Serie A lovers. We can start hibernating in our man caves once that first whistle blows at the beginning of the games, which all start at 20:45 (2:45 PM EST).<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Bacca Essential for AC Milan<\/h2>\n<p>All promising teams with high expectations like <strong>AC Milan,\u00a0<\/strong>with their newly appointed manager <strong>Vincenzo Montella<\/strong>. They are set to start the season against <strong>Torino FC<\/strong>, whom finished 12<sup>th<\/sup> in the previous season. They haven\u2019t made any major changes in the team throughout the transfer window due to the fact that they are an essentially young team with young-spirited coaches.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Carlos Bacca\u2019s Impact on the Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 29-year-old Colombian, Carlos Bacca, made such an impact for Milan\u2019s offence playing alongside <strong>J\u00e9r\u00e9my M\u00e9nez\u00a0<\/strong>and Czechoslovakia\u2019s number 19, <strong>Juraj Kucka<\/strong>. Unfortunately there have been rumours of Bacca leaving Milan to head towards the Eastern part of London with <strong>West Ham<\/strong>. Milan\u2019s top scorer in the 2015\/16 season, Bacca, achieved the \u201cTop Scorer of the Team\u201d award. He lead the team in goals with eighteen and ranking sixt\u00a0in assists with three. His ambition, as any other player, wishes to play in the UEFA Champions League and substantially win one. The Rossoneri clearly haven\u2019t made the <strong>Champions League<\/strong> since the 2013\/14 season. The players and evidently the fans are balked of the failure of Milan\u2019s effort to secure a European berth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, August 21st viewers of the well-known Italian soccer league, Serie A, will be returning to their comfort zones.
