Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Still, a bad point on the protocol, if a player will find positive the whole team need to do 40 days of quarantine.

And the same question over and over rise: How they can end a season if one it will find positive?

Yeah that part makes very little sense. What if the infected player played in a match, what happens to the opposite team? They should be quarantined as well.
The way the announcements were made in the past I understood that if one players is discovered to be infected after the restart, the leagues will immediately get cancelled.

Yeah that part makes very little sense.

Yup, if the season will stop again for a case the only solution is playoff and playout...
Ruppublica a famous journal here talked about 8teams playoffs  

Imagine Milan winning the title as 8th team  

[hd49728]

If the last solution, playoff and playout will be chosen, it will bring the Serie A to a very old league format many years ago. In modern time, there is no league applies that format for many years. Because of the pandemic, everything can happen and the best thing is always seeing the league finish. Fortunately, what we have seen recent weeks only bring us to better news, and better condition for the social resume and Seire A resume.

We kinda have dates now, not official yet but we are going on this direction.

Skipped matches on 13th-14th June

Next game on 20th June

So as you can see here only 4 games on 1st Sunday

[coinlocket$]

Today is the day we will know if (probably yes) and when the season will start.

The idea is 13th June , recovery games.

20th June next turn.

20th June next turn.

So soon we will know when the Serie A resuming day. The best is on 13th June and the worse is on 20th June. I don't see the worst, no resume at all. It means the league has turned to positive direction, to resume it, not to cancel it after all. All looks good and we are waiting for official announcement to restart Serie A.

[coinlocket$]

Ok THE day was Yesterday and Today we know what will happen with a *, I will explain later what it is.

Dates

13-14 JUNE Return simifinal Leg for COPPA ITALIA

JUVE-MILAN
NAPOLI-INTER

17 JUNE  Final Coppa Italia


20 JUNE recovery missing games
4 Games

23 JUNE the start of the missing part of the season


Now to the *.
They still have the rule of "if anyone not only players but anyone of the staff will be positive, the entire team must fo in quarantine for a total of 14 days".

The doctor teams are trying to change this rule as Germany is doing so, test for everyone, and quarantine only for positives.

[SquallLeonhart]

I think it turns out 20th June is return date. That is not really all that different from other major leagues, that will be a very compact period for football all around the world. I think it is a good date because we are already going down right but given 3 more weeks that is going to make huge changes as well.

Right now I think the recovery will take a bit more time, because the death rate is going down and that is not going to be a lot at all, now that the hospitals are not filled to brim with sick people, they are capable of treating them much better, but that also means that people will feel better about going out and we gonna get an increase in infection once again but it is not going to be that high, it is going to be a fine amount, if we can go over that hump, it is all clear skies for us.

@coinlocket$ it’s official now that the league will resume on 20th June, and a reminder to all that Juventus is leading only by a point, and anything can happen between now and end of the season meaning Lazio who’s second on the table can also win the league don’t you’ll think so?. Furthermore the rule to put the entire team and the staff under quarantine is ridiculous, and it’ll impact the league hence in my personal opinion they should immediately change this rule.

It is a joy that Italian football has returned. There is so much to do to determine the new calendar and many pending issues.
There is already controversy after it was announced that the Italian cup should be completed between June 13 and 20, as expressed by Juve, Milan and Inter showing their discontent to the Copa ‘exprés’.
I also see it very forced for the players and the teams.

Better to finish it early? I think it would be better to delay the Copa after the end of Serie A. There is no need to rush like this. In Bundesliga, some teams didn't resume well their games, the usual performance isn't guaranteed at the start... I don't know but that's my opinion, better to delay it a little...

Yeap. Any cups for now are less important than leagues. The slots for winners from national cups to UEFA's leagues are less than from national leagues. Taking into consideration the different importance between leagues and cups I think Serie A should be prioritised than Coppa Italia.

There is no need for considering overlaps in schedules between those twos now because Serie A should be resumed as soon as possible. Making it through 4 rounds, then see what will be do next with Coppa Italia. Taking multiple factors and leagues, cups at the same time for final decisions to resume all of them at the same time are very challeging and unnecessary.

Money is not everything in life, life is everything in life . If even one player dies, just one of them, everyone will realize that all of that money that could be earned would be for nothing. Hence I feel like the return would be too soon. Plus, there is a quicker recovery in Italy compared to many places only because they literally died to get rid of the virus. In other places it takes longer because people are trying to recover from it and that takes time compared to dying.

You can still bring back football, but I still suggest keeping everyone in check for a longer period of time, it is not only about players with no corona playing since that is safe, it is about also protecting the players from getting corona which will be very tough work to do when you let them be.

Agree, it's a hard and very tough task in fact to prevent players from getting COVID as football requires a team effort. But they can be completely isolated from the social  environment prior to each match and  this may be a way out of the current predicament. I have thought me heard there are places on Earth like New Zealand with no COVID at all.  What about this?

We should send all teams to New Zealand in order to make the leagues occur then. 
Isolation as you described is not going to work, as during the game players are getting in touch with each other - I wonder why they keep distances on the bench while they are playing shoulder-to-shoulder in the game...

The coppa Italia isn't prioritised ahead of the seria A because it's starting first, if you assess it's schedule, it's clear that they just want to rush the cup games and get it out of the way for the league to resume, so all attention would shift to it. The teams still in the coppa Italia could use the few remaining cup games as a warm up to the league, they'll get the feel of game before other teams; Imo that's an advantage to them.

agree, and that could be northern lobby in Italy, since Lazio is not in the semi-final, and that race between Juventus and Lazio should be most interesting at the end of the season, fight between Atalanta and Roma for last CL place next season is untouched, since both teams do not participate in Coppa semi-final

will be interesting rounds, but do expect from Juventus to get the title

[coinlocket$]

And now Milan and Inter are complaining because the will play more games on 1st week than their direct opponents.

Inter is complaining because they will play the Coppa Italia on 14th June while Lazio will have 7 more days of rests.
The date are not confirmed yet and can be changed.

[qory]

Juventus keep the best and favorite team to be champion in this year because they have good management and team, after success take Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid they have complicated player because they have Paulo Dybala before, I think the have good mentality and finance why become favorite team to be championship for Serie A, now many bigger team in Serie A like Inter Milan, AC milan and As Roma faced financial difficult and never could bring good and best player to their team.

Of course Milan and Inter will definitely complain if you have a lot of matches because it can affect the players if viewed from other teams such as what you say is Lazio resting 7 days then this is not fair for Inter and Milan.

But I also haven't seen the Serie A match that will start, but I think it will go well because time is speeding up so the match must be over quickly.

Coppa Italia should be resumed after the end of Serie A. It is my opinion only and might be not perfect but people talk about advantages of having real matches in Coppa Italia before the resume of Serie A. At the same time, as you gave the news, some teams also complianed about potentiality of energy exhausted.

Well, I said the same thing weeks ago, it isn't the best option to play Copa Itallia few days from resuming Serie A. It is no sense and may affect the overall performance of teams and the quality of matches. I am supporting teams complaining about this random decision.
There is 2 options: 1st play the Copa after finishing Serie A. 2nd play the Copa at the same time with Serie A but they should take on consideration many parameters to have a logical set of games that's fair for everyone...
