Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Pogba doesn't need adaptation anymore at Juventus because maybe for Pogba, Juventus is home and not Manchester United. Even though Pogba grew up in the Manchester United academy but his home is at Juventus, so right now the issue is not about adapting because the question is whether Pogba will still be able to play very well like in the past at Juventus. I'm just worried the players who keep coming back to the team where he shines can no longer repeat it perfectly, because later it might have an impact on the assessment that is not good in some ways.

He has tried twice at United and he keeps failing so as you say, United is not the right place for Pogba. As for the adaptation problem, it seems that this will not take much time because the game in Serie A is relatively the same and Pogba already knows about this but it is indeed possible to build cooperation now he has to start following up especially now he is not the same as before.

Zlatan's current condition about whether to continue playing for Milan is still ambiguous. And this ambiguity can cause his contract to end too as he has only one week left on it. Zlatan is 40 years old and he isn't able to play very effectively too. However I don't have big expectations from him at the same time. He is already a legend to me. He has been helpful for Milan's success in the Serie A mentally especially. Milan players seem they like his presence in this team. I think Milan should continue with him for one more season but we will see if there will be a new deal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has passed his prime, now probably 40 or 41 years old.  Ibra is old and weaker now. At this stage of his career, any injury he incurs now will be a big problem. At this age, he will be thinking of retiring and ending his career at AC Milan will be good for the club in terms of his career at AC Milan. He will definitely be missed at the club if he finally decides to retire now. They will hope he stays for at least a season more before they get a perfect replacement for him.

There will come a time when Ibrahimovic has to stop playing football. And the susceptibility to injury also increases of course. But we can say that he is a huge fan of the game, so stopping is not an option for the time being. He probably doesn't even care where he gets to play football. Of course, he wants to play as high as possible, but if he feels that he should play a lower level, he will certainly do so. Still, there would be plenty of good clubs that would like to have him as a substitute, e.g.

ibrahimovic has indeed been a rising point for AC Milan this season, although he didn't play too many minutes due to injury and age factors, his presence in the AC Milan squad proved to be able to inspire other players. The age of 40 has indeed entered a crucial age for professional football players because the average footballer chooses to retire at the age of 38 but Ibrahimovic has yet to announce his retirement plan.

the current issue circulating on twitter Hakan Calhanoglu as a teammate with ibrahimovic when he was at AC milan criticized ibrahimovic's contribution in this season with ac milan. whereas fellow soccer players scathing criticism should not happen because it can trigger unwanted things or will receive sanctions for his stupid actions.

There are many lines that have to be improved by Milan in the current transfer market, besides they need a new striker to back up Giroud and Ibra, Milan also has to find the right substitute to replace Kessie role in the midfield, besides that Milan fragile defense this season clearly has to be they prioritize if they want to be able to maintain the scudetto or compete in the champions league next season, I think, Milan have to work hard to strengthen their current squad but the problem now is that Milan only have a little money to do that, and even their Milan owners reportedly the new ones can't budget a lot of money to buy current players.

There isn't really that much money in Italian football to do all of the things you said they should. Look at what PSG pays, or EPL teams, or La liga and you will realize that Italian teams can't really pay that much to their players. They definitely have a good head and shoulders above more money compared to any other team outside of the top 5 leagues, but aside from that they are not really competing all that much.

It means that they could end up spending some money on the team but not too much. They need to reach to a level where it is championship contention again this year as well, if they can do that then they are going to be fine.

Paul Pogba is back to Juve for FREE after being sold to Man United for 100 mil Euros, 6 years ago. Great piece of business from Juve I suppose. Pogba is still only 29 and is supposed to be in his prime. His performances have been on and off but it doesnt change the fact that he does have the quality and skills in him and could be an asset for the club.

interestingly early he shone at Juventus Pogba was also brought from MU for free there.
The 29-year-old is still pretty good but the EPL isn't the right place for Pogba and it's very good that he's gone from United now. Even if there is no guarantee that Pogba will still shine at Juventus but as you said, he is still very useful for the midfield. Hopefully the performance will return as before.

Pogba could not adapt to the fast gameplay of the Premier League. Manchester United paid a lot of wages to Pogba, but Pogba's performance was very poor. My guess is that Pogba is suitable for La Liga or Serie A. However, it cannot be said for sure that Pogba will be able to play well with the Juventus team. His performance in the last few seasons has been very poor. He will also face a lot of problems to adapt to the new team.

Pogba playing at juventus is not something new, he had a good time at Juventus, played well, scored goals. This will be an opportunity for him to try regaining his form and getting back on top level performance. I believe he will do fine, he is used to the league, he will not be starting afresh so it will be much easier adapting again to the league and the clubs style of play.

We are 1 week away from the start of the season.

Some teams will start the gathering for the season on the 1st of July.
Big teams will also start the same week but some days after.


7 weeks at the 1st game of the season.

yes it seems so, I'm also not sure they will be able to defend the Scudetto next season. So far, they haven't been hunting for quality new players to improve their squad for next season, unlike other Serie A teams, which are very aggressive in bringing in quality new players.

Even if they wanted to buy players they couldn't and had to tighten their belts and start saving money.
They are in a crisis that puts them in danger now because of the reckless management of finances that have made Milan difficult now which makes them inevitably bury their hopes of being able to get big players.
I agree with you when this cannot be overcome then it is very likely that the Skudeto will disappear next season.

I think Milan should try to organize an event or can get investors interested in coming in and providing a big enough injection of funds to support their club name in the world of football, but I don't think it's an important issue if they can get very professional and capable players. made a good contribution to Milan's victory in this match.

This is something that is quite good now because indeed in the previous season when he was transferred from MU to Inter also in almost the same condition because indeed he was struggling at that time and even he said that his career at MU failed but when he was at Inter he found the touch is back and looks prime here.
It would be a good thing if he did something like this now and I still have a lot of faith in Lukaku especially in Serie A.

Lukaku's performance which continues to decline is allegedly because he is half-hearted in Chelsea's uniform.  Therefore, he is rumored to be doing anything to get out of Stamford Bridge.  In addition, the intense tension of the game in the Premier League is also the reason it is difficult for him to develop.  returning to Inter might make him excited again and Lukaku feels that he is very suited to the climate of Serie A. But Inter Milan brought him only on loan, they were reluctant to buy him back because the market price was still too high, Inter prioritized other players to be brought in, possibly Dybala  .

With Inter's current condition, it is risky to buy him so I think the loan status is enough for Lukaku.
Talking about half-heartedly playing this reflects like a player who is irresponsible and his professionalism is indeed questionable because when he is at one club even though he likes another club, professionalism must be there because he is paid to play there. this is quite unfortunate if indeed this is one of the reasons he is not playing well.

yes, things are starting to get along now with the first phase of the competition. Of course we still have a number of practice matches ahead of us, but experience shows that that says nothing at all about the form of a team. You can judge players based on individual qualities, but real sharp matches are not played there. You often see a lot of new players and they need rhythm in a new team. After the first competition match we can take stock. It is important for Juventus to participate immediately this year and not to lose any points.

There is still a long time period to go for the first games of the season. This should be enough time for the biggest teams of the league to make their transfer moves. Lukaku has been the focal point of the possible transfers these days. He is still expected to reach an agreement with Inter on a loan deal. While Inter are making their lineup stronger Milan need to be able to answer them in the same way. Their forwards are quite old and not that beneficial for the team anymore as we know. I wonder who it is going to be their striker next season. There is even a possibility for them to sign two forwards.

Ibrahimovic wont stop until his legs gives out. Its really something too see someone so dedicated to football and doing his job great still at his age. This injury is really hard and i think he wont recover for anytime soon at all. Plus with his age we cannot expect him to be at the same level

[SirLancelot]

Honestly, I did not even think that they will be able to win the Italian League title this season. Because I think everyone is going to agree that they obviously had a little bit of luck going in favor of them, otherwise Inter was the team to win the title.

Anyway, now they really have to think about the next season. First of all, I don't think they will be able to defend their title successfully because all the other teams are investing time and money in the squad. And my biggest concern is that I don't see any urgency from Milan to do so.

Right now AC Milan, defending champions are in some trouble and no one know what's going on in this club after winning this year's title because as they are doing things right now most chances they will fail to end in top four for next season. Most of the players are over aged, and they are not giving any intention in transfer market due to bad financial situation which is not going to settle in short term.

With Juventus and Inter are doing things and strengthening their squads they will be key for success and with this defending champions are going to have to fight like we have Atlanta and Roma in last season.

Most of the peoples are looking for new updates about current situation because right now things are not clear and clubs officials are also not giving indicators about their future plans and current situation.

Premier League is a tough League. Although, Lukaku is still a good player, but is obvious that he can't succeed in the Premier League. He failed as a player when he was In Manchester United, and also had a terrible performance last season in Chelsea. I think it will basically be a great decision if he gets transferred back to Inter. However, According to report, Chelsea have agreed to loan him out to Inter. Therefore, he will probably be playing in Serie A next season.

I think that is also ridicolous to speak about Ibrahimovic, a player so old that can't do same thing like 4-5 years ago and have the same yield. He is too old and

maybe should consider retirement from football. Considering also his ricovery, for how many match he can play? 5, 10? He can act only as team leader, in that role

he is the best.

AFAIK Ibrahimovic got operated on his knee recently and he will not be able to play for the next 8 months or maybe less and with the World Cup cut and the time for training and getting back to his form, I assume he won't come back before 2023 and he won't be useful for the team again this season and with his age, I am wondering when he will stop? Just asking, not judging him when to do it.

Not so long,

1 week and most of the will gather
3 weeks and friendly games will start
6-7 weeks and the season will start.

This seems not so "still a long period" before the start of the season.

I also read this in one of the news stories which said that the healing process would take a long time even until the end of 2022 or even in the early months of 2023.
But with his contract running for another year maybe this season he won't be able to do much in my opinion apart from the condition of his left knee now he is also 41 years old which makes this should be the last season of his career in my opinion.

Maybe it's just that Chelsea wasn't his team, and Tuchel wasn't his coach. If the rumors are true, Lukaku could not hold back tears when he learned that Inter had agreed to return the player back to the team, albeit on loan. At the same time, Lukaku had to sacrifice a third of his salary and now, instead of 12 million, players will receive eight million a year. Lukaku undoubtedly needs to strengthen Inter and let's hope that the situation with Chelsea will not repeat, when after a brisk start, an injury, a goal drought and a misunderstanding with the coach followed, which was only aggravated by a careless interview. Inter can now completely switch their attention to signing Paulo Dybala.

The injury on ibrahimovic knee is a critical one and if time is not taking it will be a problem for him at this point of his career, Ibrahimovic just have a short time to retire from football. I just hope the injury shouldn't be something very serious that can hinder his performance,  Ibrahimovic is a great player that performs like a young player.
