Summary: International presenter and co-host for The Express at BeIN Sport Kay Murray joins Anto on a whirlwind tour of the big three leagues that open in August across the continent including the key shorelines and massive changes facing the French, Spanish and Italian games as massive football brands collect talent while super clubs have been left to reset this off-season with managerial and wholesale changes which shall make our football in 2013-14 suspect to shock outcomes. We begin in France where the arms race between Monaco and PSG is just part of the story as Marseille seems to have smartly reinforced in a key area or two and we examine the challenges facing Claudio Ranieri in terms of a promoted team with massive changes and the type of big spending that could land in him in a heap of trouble quick if expectations are not met. We also examine the ever-changing world of La Liga where names and transfer targets change, but the name of the game remains the same - for now, this falls on the shoulders of new arrivals Carlo Ancelotti and Gerardo Martino who both appear to be the right men at the right time, but each has questions in terms of filling in a couple of largely exposed weaknesses and what we might expect at least in La Liga where draws are more like losses the two superpowers and often determine the champion. Then we turn to the most fascinating story of all and that is where the story of Serie A begins and this might just be the most interesting title battle of all as six teams look set to contest for the three Champions League slots as Juventus seeks a three-peat against the seismic moves from clubs such as Roma, Fiorentina and Napoli. We also factor in the true wild card in the deck with SuperMario and AC Milan who will strengthen late in the window yet again and might just be the most unpredictable superclub in the game at the moment, flawed defensively but blessed with a youthful attack that might be a bit underestimated. We close on the public display of disaffection between Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo to examine both sides of the soap opera and examine whether The Special One is seriously The Happy One in England of if he is simply biding his time before he strikes yet again.
