I think they do not have enough talent to keep this going, if they had it then we would be seeing it but being top 2-3 in Serie A next year? Even with Mourinho, they will not be able to achieve that. I guess they would want that but they would probably not get that at all.
This is why I am trying to see how they could get better but it looks like a lot more transfers are the only way to do that. At the very least they are training hard, meaning that they will be ready when the league starts, because whoever has a great start at the first weeks of the season, will have a bigger advantage when we are getting closer to last few weeks as well so this is important.
They have their own focus in this regard, as for the top 3 positions there, I think with the current condition of Milan and Napoli, why not and it's still a big enough opportunity for them. Now they have some additional ammunition which is good enough to get through the season and all they need now is the consistency they have to build so that the top 3 is still a possibility. |

I really don't understand why Manchester United are wasting so much time going around Frankie De Jong deal, there are many controversies and complications around the deal. They can always get other alternatives, Ruben Nerves is also a good back up in case the deal for De Jong doesn't fall through but in my opinion I think United should find other alternatives and forget the De Jong.
It could be said that Ten Hag's interest in De Jong was so high that they continued to carry out negotiations even though in this case it ended in vain. Actually there are several players who have been linked. Currently the transfer season is only a few weeks away for them, it would be better for them to focus on finding alternatives rather than making this more complicated because this will also affect the team. |

madrid is really amazing, if juve is able to draw with barca then not with Madrid. many speculated that this final result happened because of pogba's absence, but the good news is that juventus will bring in pjanic (to fill the vacancy in the potential midfield position).
You're kidding, this has nothing to do with Pogba because when Barcelona played Juventus, Pogba didn't play there before lol. Juventus tried something new and different from usual because they put 3 strikers up front which made their midfield weak in this match because they are not used to the 4-3-3 formation so this is indeed one of the things that Madrid have taken advantage of. can maximize the flow of the ball in midfield comfortably. What's the point of friendlies if the coach doesn't try other tactics and test as many players as possible.. Result doesn't really matter in these games since the conditions are very different from real competitions. Real Madrid will play vs Frankfurt in August 10, we will see how fit the club will be this season few days before the beginning of La Liga matches. This should be seen but of course there must be some reason when they say they lost, right? It should be underlined that this is a test match that is intended to make some things they might do to navigate next season. When the thing tried works then that is one good thing and when it is a failure then they just have to try something else. |

Pogba should now plan for the long term. We haven't seen good performances from Pogba in the last few seasons. Now, if Pogba does not undergo surgery to recover quickly, then he will very easily face injuries in the future. This will not be good for his career. No renowned team will be interested in keeping Pogba in their squad if his fitness is not right afterward.
The problem in this case is that the risk is also big there because when he says he will be in surgery then he has to give up the world cup title which will start soon. This is what is still being considered whether he wants to have surgery or not because the decision he makes means losing one of the opportunities he gets. |

When he can't score against Liverpool it doesn't mean he played badly and it's still early to conclude things like this.
Can't score and can't deliver assists, is simply categorized as bad performance. How we can state that he played not bad if he can't give any contribution, mate?  Come on is only 1 game there and that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve it. We can't force him to be said to be a bad player in just 1 game because it's the whole thing that is said to have failed. Just that 1 game means nothing and he still has to focus on a League that hasn't even started yet. When in a match he can't do anything then he can be said to be bad but he has only played twice and scored 1 goal in those 2 matches and is considered bad? you're joking about it. |

Haaland should be given some time to adapt indeed. Actually he wasn't that bad in the Community Shield game. He was just unlucky especially about that absolute goal chance he found in the last moments. Every striker can experience this kind of moments so it isn't a problem at all for me. Let's just wait for the season to progress for some time and see what he will start to do in time. To tell the truth I don't expect him to have big difficulties in playing compatibly with Guardiola's system.
The performance is still quite good so far. The 2 matches he has played and the 1 goal he has scored is still very good I think. When he can't score against Liverpool it doesn't mean he played badly and it's still early to conclude things like this. Don't let what happened to Nunez happen to Haaland because when he was On Fire, things like that would be embarrassing again if he thought he was bad now. |

Roma have been reported to be interested in Andrea Belotti who is still free agent now. However the number of strikers in the team would increase quite a lot then. They have already signed Dybala recently. I don't know if they need another one. When it comes to Belotti he is a decent striker for me. But it is doubtful how much playing time he would have at Roma among all these alternatives. I wonder what kind of plans Mourinho has for him. If he is thinking of him in the lineup directly then they should go for him.
This looks like it will be an interesting one because there are some reports also saying that Mou has been in contact with Belloti for the last few weeks. Roma have also offered a salary of around €3.5 million for this player but there are some things that are still going to happen because if we see several La Liga clubs are also trying to woo this player. |

Restless betting can lead you to more losses which might make your situation worse. If you're struggling with your finances, gambling isn't the right alternative for you to recover. You better stay away from it especially if you're holding funds that you can't afford to lose. Gambling has risks and is mainly for entertainment purposes. Not everyone can be lucky in gambling so keep out of it if you're starting to feel unlucky in it.
Actually, in this case they are still quite aware of it but they seem to forget about it and continue to make bets even though they are doubtful because thanks to their emotional impulses it just makes them more broken. That's why many people say that self-control is important because it can be used at times like this. |

although MU is superior in ball possession and attack, it looks like MU is having problems upfront. No wonder the coach didn't want to let Ronaldo go. I think Ronaldo doesn't need to be selfish to think about leaving for a team that plays in the Champions League. United needs him up front.
In this match, the two looked even from all fronts. United seem to be getting better, they seem to be playing better on all fronts.
It seems that Ten Hag's action by placing 1 striker in front as a target is not very good in goal productivity because as you said, even though they are in control and there are lots of opportunities there they are still a little difficult to make goals. I prefer to see them with 3 strikers like the previous game. The result is over and Atletico have a narrow lead over Manchester United with a goal created by Felix through his shot that makes de Gea unable to do anything there. |

Although Pogba is a talented player, he did not perform well with the Manchester United squad. He is not fit for the Premier League. He is expected to play well in Serie A with Juventus. But if he is not diligent then he will not be able to play well with Juventus. If he misses the opening games of the season due to injury, then I think it will be difficult for Pogba to adapt to the team in the middle of the season.
With several midfielders currently owned by Juventus, Paul Pogba will find it difficult to get Allegri to entrust his midfield to him, Manuel Locatelli is play quite active, it is possible for Allegri will continue to use him next season. Adrien Rabiot will secure the midfield position, and in the last two matchsDi María has been Massimiliano Allegri's choice. With the formation of four midfielders, pogba will compete with Zakaria, and McKennie. I don't think so, because in this case Pogba will certainly make a bit of a breakthrough, but indeed the problem at the moment is he has an injury and has to rest for a long time now which makes this very difficult for him. Indeed, in this case there is a lot of competition in the Juventus midfield but actually this is not too much of a problem for Pogba I think. |

I cannot imagine a more interesting start to the season than the Liverpool vs Manchester City game. It's hard to say which team will be in better shape in the first match, but I am crossing my fingers for Liverpool's victory.
The umpteenth meeting for them is in the final game  It will be interesting to see if it is Liverpool or Man City who will triumph in this annual match as they clearly have personal grudges everywhere especially for last season because there was indeed some spark of rivalry every time they met. At the moment what I want to see the most is their front line in each of them because indeed there will be a new competition between Haaland and Nunez. |

I agree that Milan will have a hard chance at winning the title,they havent brought any big player and some of them are injured in their team. Napoli looks weak this season to me aswell. I think we can expect a lot from Roma and Fiorentina this year and see them at the very top
It's also a little difficult in my opinion. Even though this season Roma have brought several players there, including their new star who is now being hailed, namely Dybala, I still have doubts for the top position. For the race for the top 4 positions, maybe this is still wide open for Roma but for the top position, especially to compete until the end to become champions, I am still pessimistic about it. |

This issue of Barcelona owing player's salaries or wages is not cool, especially for a big club like Barcelona. I mean, if this case goes to court it will not be good for Barcelona and the kind of name it bears as a football club. This is a prestigious club, every player who goes their goes with high hopes and expectations, players wages should be a must do in their list of priorities. Hopefully this issue gets resolved before it gets out of hand.
Barcelona will of course pay the player's arrears salaries even though it will take a long time. maybe if barcelona can reach the target next season which means Barcelona can win the Laliga title I think barcelona finances will recover even though it's not 100%. In this situation the Barcelona players can also see the financial position of Barcelona which is in crisis due to the Covid disaster and others. well for now all parties may be able to understand it and I hope the salary issue will be resolved soon. They seem quite stingy in issuing salaries now but they are too big to buy players at high prices Maybe in this case there are some parties who will not understand because it is very funny that they continue to ask for salary waivers and continue to withhold salaries but buy players at prices that should be able to pay off all of it. Pique who had reacted was ignored and they hoped Pique would retire soon. This is obviously very funny to me. |

The problem is that regardless of anyone trying to tackle, still those who can emerge and become winners of the league over the last few seasons are only two clubs and that has happened since the 2017/2018 season and even then only 1 time Manchester City has been shifted by Liverpool so it is quite clear that the dominance feels here that given City.
But even if that is the case for the current season I still feel that Liverpool are going to make something even more exciting than before.
For the championship competition, this season Manchester City and Liverpool are still very dominant compared to the others, don't underestimate teams like Chelsea and Arsenal, because they both have talented players, Manchester United has not changed much, because it is still difficult got star players, so my prediction they will finish outside the big four. With no disrespect to Chelsea, what do they want to be proud of right now? Management is chaotic, the attack line can be said to be weak and their defense line has a lot of vacancies there so what can really be expected for them to become champions? With a fairly good squad last season they can only be in 3rd position now whether they will be able to compete with their shaky conditions. I think you have too high expectations. |

Juve build a solid team and it is expected to see them fighting for the scudetto and advancing to the finals of CL. For Dembele, it is important for him and for Barca to maintain his performance and avoid injuries since it is his main weakness. For Barca's defence, players need some time to play together and to find their harmony which is the point of these friendlies. Realized enough in this regard that Xavi is very serious about bringing Kunde to Camp Nou because in this case they are not very good there and indeed there needs to be regeneration from the Barcelona defense which until now is old. As for when they say Juventus they are more intent on midfield but still they are still not solid in defense there. |

Indeed until now it was only Juventus pre-season match. But they managed to draw against Barcelona, that's pretty good. Barcelona are quite strong they yesterday won 1:0 against madrid. In addition, Moise Kean scored two goals for the Bianconeri. It looks convincing for Serie A preparations. Juve certainly look active for next season, their target is of course to win Seri A again.
Of course barcelona have difficulty in facing juventus, they have to face five midfielders of juventus, Massimiliano Allegri puts Cuadrado, Di María, they have experience without a doubt, plus Locatelli. Juventus look tough in thwarting Barcelona's attacks and troublesome Barcelona's defense. It's a formation that fits perfectly against a club like Barcelona, but I don't expect Allegri to use it in Serie A. Their strength in midfield is inversely proportional to their current solid defense. Indeed, in terms of midfielders, I think Juventus now really prioritizes its players there so that the flow of the ball continues to run smoothly, but in terms of defense, it still needs some improvements there. Their 4 defenders still communicate well, Bonucci and Bremer still haven't found Kemistri as an anchor midfielder at Juventus which makes them also have to make improvements there. |

this is still the main choice because I still feel that for this season it is still the same as the previous season otherwise City means Liverpool even though I am on the opposite side of you because I am in the red camp, not blue It's difficult for other teams to make a meaningful breakthrough here as long as both teams are still in their best form. Because the Premier League is the best league ever, then I will not choose Manchester City again as the title winner for the 2022/2023 season. Any top team will probably think about how to stop their title dominance this season because it is so bad to let that happen so many seasons. Manchester City won the title 4/5 of his season with Guardiola. They seem to be the new artist in the Premier League because not many teams are able to compete to break that dominance. Only Liverpool is very possible and has done it, so I hope this season Liverpool can do it again. The problem is that regardless of anyone trying to tackle, still those who can emerge and become winners of the league over the last few seasons are only two clubs and that has happened since the 2017/2018 season and even then only 1 time Manchester City has been shifted by Liverpool so it is quite clear that the dominance feels here that given City.

the italian sports newspaper 'corriere dello sport' reports that juventus turin is close to signing brazilian forward Roberto Firmino.
the transfer fee of €22 million is expected to flow to fc liverpool.
It will probably happen in the near future when Liverpool actually agree on the transfer of this player but maybe they will hold back a bit for the price to be added there. Currently Firmino's price is actually still around 30 million but indeed seeing this is his last season with Liverpool I don't think Liverpool will hold this player too long now. |

It is a pity that Schmeichel did not become as good as his father, that had become a real legend. Especially at the European Championship of 1992, but that aside. I don't know how good Schmeichel is, but because he is the son of he automatically has more prestige than other goalkeepers. It is now all exciting at Juventus how Pogba's injury will go. They were able to bring him in on a free transfer, but if he is not fit then it will not be much fun.
Actually if we say about Kasper Schmeichel regardless of the opinion of people who do make comparisons of him with his father he is still a very good goalkeeper and even led Leicester to become champions in the Premiere League when they were underdogs it is clear that is an extraordinary achievement and his dedication at Leicester is very big even when he had the upper hand when Leicester won he even rejected the proposal of City and Manchester United at that time. |
