New season is coming and I'm very excited. Because finally there have been a big competition in this league for two seasons. We have witnessed Inter and Milan becoming the champions consecutively. It is kinda great that Juventus' dominance has ended for now. This has made the league much more attracting. For new season it is really hard to make a prediction about the champion now for example. We will see what teams are going to make the best starts.
Attracting for who? Not for sponsors. Serie A is actually the 4th League in EU as money from TV.

Maybe we are talking about friendly games for Juventus but I think that there is still something wrong about them. They couldn't fight back much against Real Madrid today. Pogba's absence can affect the team in the midfield really deeply as long as they don't sign a strong midfielder there. There are only two weeks to go for the Serie A to start so they had better hurry about this. It hasn't been much time since they sold de Ligt for a lot of money so they can even spend that much money for a midfielder too.
With the money, they bought Bremer and can be even better than DeLigt, even today he did a big mistake. They still have money for a big player, rumors are increasing about Sergei Milinkovi Savic.

Juventus played today its last game in the united states against real Madrid.
What can be emphasized from this experience? Against Barcelona and Real, a team clearly inferior to the Spanish has been seen.
Now with the new injuries of Pogba and McKennie it will be another difficult year but the market is still open, to be competitive for the Scudetto we need 3 other top-tier players.

Mercedes has almost recovered all the disadvantages it had at the beginning of the championship. On the contrary, I believe that with the new rules that will probably be introduced by SPA, Mercedes can become the car to beat.
It is unlikely that they can recover for the world championship even if mathematically it is still feasible.
|
|
|
the whispers are growing here in Italy. Juventus seems to have taken a strong interest in Milinkovic Savic from Lazio to be able to reinforce the midfield. The Lazio shop is very expensive, we are talking about a figure of around 60-70 million euros.

Binotto needs to be sacked.
Superb race from Max and as I said Mercedes is back and maybe they will be even the car to be beaten if, as it seams, the rules will changes from SPA
|
|
|
I told you back in weeks, Mercedes is reboring and they even are the team to beat after Spa with the new regulations.
Ferrari needs to get the maximum point available tomorrow to get a change for the title but it is probably already late.

Juventus' intention to borrow Zaniolo from Rome seems strong, but speculation about this is still confusing because it is reported that zaniolo is included in the mourinho project (roma core team). zaniolo is a good player even though he was injured badly a few years ago but that doesn't affect the quality of his game, no wonder why juve and tottenham are interested in him.
According to rumors they already have the deal with the player. Zaniolo until 4 years ago before becoming a professional player was a super fan of Juvenuts, so I think he will do whatever he can to join the squad.

My take on Memphis is that, he doesn't suit Barcelona any bit, he was lucky cause of his Ronald Koeman who made the switch possible, he should move to Juventus.
Depay has been already linked with Juventus for 3 years now and... he will never be here in Italy. Juventus really have only 1 target player for that position and it is Zaniolo, they already have the deal with the player they now need to find the deal with As Roma.

WTF Russell? Did he cut some corners? So a badly day for RBR

So, as things stand right now, Barcelona is the biggest spender in Europe's top 5 leagues. Who else is amazed at how they managed to pull this off minus selling off most of the surplus players?
What is Barcelona's plan to make sure their current financial situation doesn't go from bad to worse after the huge signings, or was there ever a financial crisis at the club to begin with?
The financial crisis is still there, Barcelona already sold the next 10 years of TV rights to get some money for the market. (Besides that later this year everything can change with the ESL)

Ferrari is solid on this track as in all high drag tracks, and they could have a comfortable pole position tomorrow IF it does not rain.
According also to RedBull Ferrari is not beatable here.

I had completely missed that Chiellini is away from Juventus. Just heard it yesterday. He will seek his success at Los Angeles FC. Somehow understandable choice, given his age. And I think he will get a decent salary on that too. And if you've played football in Italy all your life, then you might want to do something different. Juventus now have a problem in the back because de Ligt and Chiellini have both left. That is not something that can be solved easily.
They bought Bremer, he was the best defender of the last Season in Serie A. They also have Gatti, he was the best defender in series B last season. Lets see if they will good, but they already fixed the departures.

Something must be wrong here Why Mclarens are so fast today? Timers are still slow. Rain is expected tomorrow.
|

FP1 results... Sainz is quick.
Fast is relative they should be 2 seconds faster than the 1st hour in the next free practice.

There are too many masalas in media about Ronaldo transfer news because first we have Chelsea and Bayern Munich then suddenly both disappear, and we have Atlético Madrid but this also ended without any solid update after this I read now Ronaldo is going to be meet with Ten Haq about his future and most chances he is going to stay here at Manchester United without Champions League but now suddenly another news about on loan deal with Napoli mean media trying their best for keeping themselves into action without any solid reason.
Teams like Atlético Madrid and Roma fail to in negotiation with Ronaldo just because of their finances so is this possible for Napoli to do this really interested question because most chances he is not going to cut his salary which is the big problem for many clubs so with this all most chances he will stay here and not go anywhere for just Champions League.
He has only 2 options IMHO. Atletico or Sporting Lisbon with Champions League and a massive salary cut.

Still not sure about Pogba's situation, he will probably need surgery but 2 more visits are ongoing.
|
|

Bye to Vettel. He has always been a good guy!
Was he strong or did he only get lucky to be in the right spot at the right time with RBR?
With Ferrari, he couldn't make the difference against Leclerc.
