Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[jaberwock]

There are rumors that Lazio is interested in Marcelo. His contract with Real Madrid expired last season. There are rumors that the 34-year old star player wants an annual salary of 2.5 million euros and a 3 year contract. He didn't play for most of his last season at Real Madrid due to injury. Nobody says no to a healthy Marcelo. But Marcelo is a risky transfer right now. It would be a good but risky transfer for Lazio.

Well i think a 34 years old marcelo could be really promising for serie a teams , he would fit really well .. as serie a well known as a place for the old players to keep shining for at least 2 years or more , he had no club currently .. and if lazio mean it to land him ... then the asking salary of 2.5 million euros must be filled soon before there is a better offer coming to his table.

Fenerbahce looking after him as well as Olympique Marseille offers him a champions league competition. They need to be placed as a first choice so he can get his last chance into the world cup squad.

At the age of 34, still too many clubs are interested to sign this most decorated full back from Real Madrid who spend their nearly 16 years and now already end his career with most chances he is going to Italy even Marseille from France, Juventus from Italy and Fenerbahçe from Turkey all are interested to sign him for rest of his career but where he is going to landing it's a big question right now as Lazio is most favorite in market for having him but nothing is sure.

Certainly with the age factor is also having his impact in last season mostly he was absent with few issues it's risky signing but still few clubs are going to take this, hopefully he will be stayed here in Italy and enjoy next few seasons with Lazio.

3 Serie A teams hasn't get satisfied results for friendly matches yesterday that Milan lose from Hungarian team Zalaegerszegi TE even in the first half Milan already conceded 3 goals before Giroud and Krunic attempts to equalized but final score 3-2 and Milan failed to win on the other hand Inter also lose from France team Lens with score 1-1 and only Roma had slightly better because they can able to get draw result from Nice 1-1

Milan start the match with a slightly different formation in defence, Stefano Pioli used Matteo Gabbia and Toure to defend the defence, and what happened was they were attacked repeatedly at the beginning of the match. A different result might have happened when the coach choose Hernandez or Tomori early, because I saw them under pressure at the start of the match. While midfielder Sandro Tonali worked quite hard before finally being withdrawn, and Brescianini is still not showing his best form.

Yes they seem to be still looking for a formula with their new squad. Regarding the result of the match, maybe some spectators were disappointed because of the defeat even though it was only a pre-season match which was not projected to win, but rather the team's overall performance. There is still a lot of time for them to improve again, especially since all of these teams are teams that will compete at the top.

[KTChampions]

Rather than Roma actually Napoli seem to have a bigger chance for the title. I'm saying this considering their last season efforts of course. However now Roma are improving their squad more than before. Maybe they can make a difference and be more competitive than Napoli for top 4. Napoli still have some positions to improve in my opinion. After Milan and Inter it would be nice to see one of Roma and Napoli being the champions to surprise us. But I think they have a long way to go now.

Neither Roma nor Napoli have a serious chance of winning the championship, although I would be happy to see any of these teams win instead of the other three. They can show a good stretch of the season (as Napoli did) or win a separate cup (like Roma), but by the end of the season in the championship with less resources (depth of the squad and the possibility of player rotation) than the competitors, they will fall behind and lose the race.

A very nice player but I can not bring him into my club.
Reduced in almost all round, speed and vision.
He should go end his career at the Brazilian league.
A very outstanding player with how strong that league is he won't end there.

Well, next year competition will be between Inter Juventus and Milan. Napoli has sold his best players and he can only fight between 4th to 7th place, and it wouldn't be easy, considering that Roma has bought a player like

Dybala and has enforced his entire team. So, it will be an interesting season, but I won't bet 1€ about Napoli's winning.

[Velvet78]

Andrea Belotti is still free agent now. I don't know why there is no team after him now as well. He has been offered to some Premier League teams like Everton, West Ham and Newcastle. Among these teams I feel like maybe Newcastle would make an offer for him. They are already trying to build a solid team and I think that Belotti can be a really good addition to the squad. We don't know how good he would play in the PL maybe but I hope to see him adapting in that case.

I thought before that Andrea Belotti had played in the Premier League for the WestHam team, but his record wasn't there or maybe I was wrong. Because from the existing records Belotti only played at Torino and it was as I knew before too, if it was like that then purely so far Belotti only played in Serie A. But at the age of 28 I think Belotti still deserves to get a new team with easy be it in Serie A or outside of Italy. But if a club like Torino doesn't renew his contract, then I start to doubt his quality to be able to play in the top leagues in Europe.

I'm not sure about Torino to make an offer to sign him back. If Belotti wanted to stay I assume that the team wouldn't let him go. Belotti deserves to play for a bigger team as he is a centre-forward whose level is more than average. It might seem difficult to imagine him playing for a team outside Italy maybe because of his playing in this country for so many years not having any experience in the other leagues. But if he is feeling himself like he wants a new challenge then I would love to see that.

In the end it will be the same although indeed they will provide something interesting at the beginning of the season but still for the end of the season they will slowly move away from the title candidates just like last season because it is very difficult for Roma and Napoli to be able to compete tightly even with the condition of the players is new but still they will lose in the end considering that Inter and Juventus are still one of the candidates who are quite difficult to be dropped.

For the new season I think Napoli's chances will be lower even though for the top four places, some key Napoli players have left and it will make the rotation of players not going well because it requires adaptation with new players. So for one team it would be Roma with Dybala wanted, but only for a place in the top four and not for the title. As the other three teams are clear especially about Juventus, this team could be a serious candidate for the new season and I have no doubts about it at all.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I don't think of a domination by Milan or any other team remaining in fact. Milan didn't dominate the league in the previous season as they were still in fight with Inter for the league title on the final weeks of the season. I will be expecting another competitive season now and these two would stay in the title fight again I hope. I'm wondering how much Juventus and Napoli will develop themselves. Juventus make me feel like they can be more determined this time but I'm not sure about Napoli for now.

Last season there was no dominance from AC Milan, they played with equal wins, draws and losses. Not so controlling as achieved by Juventus a few seasons ago. 2021/2022 season is the best chance for Juventus to win. I can say this from the new recruits achieved by Juventus. Lastly, they got Bremer, one of the best defender in Serie A. Milan may no longer be able to defend its championship title, Inter still strong enough. Napoli, I'm not sure. Maybe we can see Juventus, Inter, Milan and Roma as top 4.

Yeah, I wouldn't like to overlook Roma of course. I must have forgotten to mention about them also. Roma are improving themselves by new transfers already. Mourinho's last season performance was really promising for the future seasons. They even won the Europa Conference League in the end and their journey in the Serie A was decent also. With these new transfers I will expect them to be more competitive than the previous season. I don't know what they'd do in the Europa League but they need to be able to fight for top 4.

Their problem is still the same as in previous seasons in that the consistency is still not well maintained so it is indeed difficult for them to make a good breakthrough in Serie A.
Losing Koulibally is also something that might be one of the things that has the potential to give them problems next season, making their chances of getting the title even slimmer.

AS Roma most loyal after arriving Jose Mourinho as new manager last season because give much budget and money get new player with expensive transfer values, last season we still remember how Jose Mourinho spent much money to get Tammy Abraham, not different for this season after success with Paulo Dybala and right now AS Roma moving target with Georginio Wijnaldum from PSG. Success get UEFA Conference League last season make AS Roma management trust fully with Jose Mourinho and give much money how keep active on window transfer. I think AS Roma have bigger expectation for next season could be finish on top fourth and get champion league ticket beside have chance to be winner on Europe League.

As the other three teams are clear especially about Juventus, this team could be a serious candidate for the new season and I have no doubts about it at all.

As we can see, last season Napoli were actually a strong candidate with AC Milan and Inter Milan. But they had to fall so many times that they had to be knocked out of the competition and had to accept that they were no longer candidates for the trophy. The problem that we still often see in Serie A is that each club still cannot consistently maintain its game.

It's a shame Napoli have been left behind by their good players and the management was unable to convince all four to stay at the club

when i heard ospina was moving to an arab club i was sure that napoli will find it difficult to compete with juve, milan and inter this season

Yes you are right, Napoli decision to let go of some of the star players in this summer window received strong criticism from fans. Fans think that Napoli board of directors selling star players is the wrong decision because it can affect the quality of the team.

ought Napoli management should be able to keep their star players because next season they will compete in the champions league and domestic league of course they must be really ready to strengthen the squad for next season. but various rumors circulating there are several options that require the management of Naples to release a star player, one of which is the problem of a large salary. Is Napoli currently in a financial crisis because so far there has been no news linking them to a financial crisis situation.

Of the several names that have officially left Napoli, I see only Dries Mertens and Kalidou Koulibaly who are Luciano Spalletti's main choices, to overcome Koulibaly's departure, Spalletti can try Juan Jesus. And the arrival of Mathias Olivera will add to the list of defenders that Luciano Spalletti could choose for next season, defensive issues I'm sure can be overcome but I'm a little doubtful front line, they haven't looked to bring in a new striker, Kvaratskhelia still not convincing enough.

I still don't think Roma can be there for the season.
Indeed in this case especially this season they started off well by adding some pretty good players for Serie A, but this is not a reference for them in my opinion.
The top 4 will still be up for grabs by Napoli, Roma, Milan and Inter. Now Napoli are underdogs to some but sometimes they also have something to be reckoned with.

[coinlocket$]

Despite the win and despite having Pogba and Di Maria, I think that Juventus still has a lot of work to do. From the game, they still need 2 full backs, a central, at least a midfielder, a winger and a center forward to be competitive. However, it seems to me that for now that window is close and that they will have to wait for another year. By the way,  between Juventus and Inter, which has the stronger squad and is more likely to win the championship?

Well not so much

They will be ok with the minimum

1 striker and 1 midfielder. (rumors for Zaniolo, Parades, Morata are ongoing)



The back wings will be changed the next year when the contracts of Alex Sandro and Cuadrado will finally expire.

He could be good as a player at his age, maybe not enough for Madrid and maybe he decided that instead of being a player who would be a veteran leadership in a team and not a great player there, he could move to a club where he would be seen as a great player in another club.

Let's face it, him as a left back to many clubs would be something decent, it is going to be something serious and he would play better than any other option that club has. Even at 34 years old, he is still a great player, not just pace or defense but technique that he has is amazing as well and the vision he has is still amazing which is why I think it is going to be a good addition to Serie A as well.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

There are rumors that Lazio is interested in Marcelo. His contract with Real Madrid expired last season. There are rumors that the 34-year old star player wants an annual salary of 2.5 million euros and a 3 year contract. He didn't play for most of his last season at Real Madrid due to injury. Nobody says no to a healthy Marcelo. But Marcelo is a risky transfer right now. It would be a good but risky transfer for Lazio.

A very nice player but I can not bring him into my club.
Reduced in almost all round, speed and vision.
He should go end his career at the Brazilian league.
A very outstanding player with how strong that league is he won't end there.

Left footed players are always very few in number. That's why they are valuable. Marcelo is a technical and experienced player. He's not just a defender. He's also a good offensive player. I think he still has a chance to play in Europe. We should watch him in the major leagues for at least a year or two more. He can transfer his experience to young football players.
