Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[legendbtc]

Roma made a good move by signing Artem Dovbyk from Girona, who was the top scorer in La Liga last season. The club wants to keep him because they will participate in the next Champions League and will need a top striker like Artem Dovbyk to advance in the competition, but the player has made his final decision to continue his career with the Italian club next season. However, Roma wanted a new striker because Chelsea no longer wanted to loan Lukaku, instead, they wanted to sell him permanently, and Roma was not interested in keeping him for many years. It would be useful if Roma had a striker like him in their squad next season because Tammy Abraham, their current striker is usually injured, so they would not have to rely on him next season.

In my opinion Lukaku is more suitable as Roma striker rather than Artem Dovbyk this because Lukaku is more experience to playing at Serie A and he was adapt quickly with the atmosphere of this league but unfortunately Roma has decide not permanent Lukaku status but i understand why Roma did that because Chelsea want high price for Lukaku and Roma feel price tag for Lukaku which determined by Chelsea is too high considering Lukaku age currently above to 30 years old

Artem Dovbyk probably would be the last recruitment Roma for forward lines because if i am not mistaken previously Roma also has successfully to bought Matias Soule from Juventus and for forward lines currently Roma has 4 good quality players because besides Artem Dovbyk and Matias Soule Roma has Dybala and Stephan El Shaarawy so if we look at to Roma forward lines the composition looks very promising and let see it later whether these players can able to scores a lot of goals and help Roma to achieve their target or not

Roma gets Artem Dovbyk for 30 million plus 5 million ads on and indeed this is decent price considering his status as Laliga top scorer of last season and previously Artem Dovbyk was into radar some of big clubs such as Arsenal but finally he choose Roma as his next club but i was wondering whether he can adapt quickly with Roma and Serie A nor not because Serie A is different compared to Laliga besides that Artem Dovbyk performance while defend Ukraine on Euro Cup is dissapointing because from 3 matches he was unable to scores

Roma is making a strong impression in the summer transfer window of 2024 after reaching an agreement with Juventus to sign Matias Soule, as well as signing Enzo Le Fee from Rennes. Currently, Roma is completing a deal with Girona for Artem Dovbyk, Artem Dovbyk would be a reasonable choice. Lukaku will not continue playing with the team on loan because Napoli is negotiating with Chelsea to buy the Belgian player to reunite with coach Antonio Conte. Artem Dovbyk is a name that many big clubs are eyeing this summer. There were times when it seemed that Atletico Madrid had secured the Ukrainian striker's signature. It's hard for me to explain why Artem Dovbyk didn't choose to go to Atletico Madrid because Atletico Madrid is a better team than Roma. However, AS Roma was the winning team.

If Rabiot leaves Juventus, it will be a big loss for Juventus. Also, you are right that Pogba cannot be relied upon right now. Pogba is a very talented player. However, due to injuries in the last season, he played only 2 matches in the jersey of Juventus. So we don't know yet if Pogba can perform well this season. So Pogba cannot be relied upon. But if Pogba and Luiz play well, Juventus' midfield will be strong.

Last season we saw Juventus' main weakness was the erratic performance of their attacking players. The team scored only 54 goals in 38 matches. So if Juventus want to fight for the title next season then Juventus will definitely need to strengthen their attack. More talented and experienced players need to be added to the attack.

Rabiot believe me is currently without a contract and his is hopefull he'll get signed up by Manchester United. They're yet to have a conclusion on the personal terms agreed. I feel like they'll want to see Scott MC Tominay leaving first before they can bring in Rabiot fully. During the world cup Competition France won, he was solid alongside Paul Pogba and Ngolo Kante in midfied. He reminds me of Nemanja Matic during his early days with Chelsea, very solid and good with his ariel duels.

Your comments of Paul Pogba got me laughing, Paul Pogba was not Injured last season but was suspended and then banned from football for four years. This should be the second year and when he'll be back, we'll be definitely seeing another Paul Pogba. Hopefully, he finds himself a better side.

So far so good they're making good moves for attacking players. Thiago Motta knows that already.

The choice of a player is not only to be in a bigger team but also they think about their career development and indeed choosing AS Roma I think is quite the right choice for the career development of Artem Dovbyk, the Roma team under De Rossi's coaching allows them to be better in the next season with what has been shown last season and indeed it is fitting for the management of Oma to fully support what De Rossi is doing for the next season and so far it has been seen that they are quite serious about building this team to be better.

[Jatiluhung]

Another tweet from Fabrizio also showed that Dovbyk was already in Rome and he was welcomed by Roma fans who were ready to welcome Dovbyk.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1818961967471534302

This is not in accordance with my initial expectations, because seeing Dovbyk's performance last season there will definitely be several big clubs who intend to bring him but it looks like Dovbyk knows what he wants to do because indeed to make a good career it will be very difficult if only relying on the luck of 1 season and he still needs time to be at a big club so the decision to choose Roma although questionable but still good enough I think.
Hopefully his choice of choosing Roma as a stepping stone to his career is not wrong.

I think being at Roma would suit this player. Because in Rome he can develop his talents without having to get a lot of pressure. But his move from Girona also automatically made this player miss the opportunity to play in the UCL. But with Roma he will still play in the Europa League. Well that would be a great start for the player. And I hope he can play as well as when he was at Girona. Dovbyk will definitely be warmly welcomed by everyone in Rome. Because after all Roma is actually very lucky to be able to get this player. I think this player will get lots of offers from other big clubs. But it seems that this is not happening. So Roma can get it without competing with many other clubs. Because the only ones who seriously made a bid were Roma and Atletico Madrid and in this case Roma won. And actually it was also circulated that this player wanted to stay at Girona but now as we can see he has come to Roma.

The pre-season match between AC Milan vs Real Madrid ended with a score of 1-0. Which means AC Milan managed to win the match. I understand it because Real Madrid don't play with the best players they have. It's just that I think AC Milan is quite extraordinary. Because in the previous pre-season match they managed to beat Man City. And then they also managed to beat Real Madrid. And I'm sure these two wins over this big team can have a positive effect on the AC Milan squad. and there is still a pre-season match that AC Milan will face, namely against Barcelona. And I think it will be as exciting as the matches against Man City and Real Madrid.

Pre-season matches are low quality match to me because not the real squad do play the match from in both teams. Milan was able to win Madrid can only happen in thses kind of matches and not in real life match because it will be impossible for Milan to win Madrid. In the second half Madrid allowed their teen players to take over the match and it became boring because Milan dominate ld the match.

If Milan like let them win all the powerful clubs in pre-season that does not mean that they have improved to the extent of winning those big clubs in real matches because that is what counts.

Yes, it is true that this victory does not mean that AC Milan can be considered stronger than Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid from the start they used young strikers like Endrick who they had just brought in. And accompanied by Arda Guler. And several other young players. Even though Modric was also introduced at the start of the match. Well it's far from the real strength of Real madrid. And I also feel that if both teams play with their best performance and with their best squad then of course Real Madrid will clearly win or be the favorite. But AC Milan's victory over strong teams in pre-season, in my opinion, is still a positive thing. Because AC Milan and its new coach are in the process of adapting. But they still made good results. And I hope that in the season that will start soon they can continue to play well. Because being able to win in pre-season should increase the confidence of the players there too. Well, many people say this. And I believe this too.

Artem Dovbyk is a player who shone quite brightly last season so indeed if Artem Dovbyk can continue to show the same performance as last season then he will be able to make a big contribution to the Roma team.

Artem Dovbyk's decision to choose to join Roma rather than Atletico Madrid I think is quite the right choice because with Roma Artem Dovbyk has a large percentage of being able to get a main place and that is not necessarily obtained if he goes to Atletico Madrid.

And for Roma I see quite a lot of changes that have occurred to cover next season and indeed the Roma coach must be able to make or continue his impressive performance last season since this team was handled by De Rossi.

The failure to recruit Lukaku was Napoli own fault for overcomplicating the Osimhen transfer process. There is no clarity yet on where Osimhen will go after he was targeted by top teams because Napoli wants to get big funds from Osimhen sale this summer. The delay in the Osimhen transfer process also hampers Lukaku's plans to reunite with Antonio Conte at Napoli because before Osimhen moved to another club, Napoli had not been able to bring in Lukaku. On the other hand, Chelsea can't wait for an official offer from Napoli to recruit Lukaku, now Aston Villa has started to show interest in Lukaku, Chelsea immediately gave the green light for Aston Villa to recruit Lukaku.
 

Napoli under De Laurentis' leadership is indeed quite tough in the process of exiting players, some people even call him "Daniel Levy from Tottenham"

Napoli is also holding out on PSG activating Osimhen's contract clause which is over £100m believing PSG has deep pockets for it.
But I think PSG didn’t go ahead with the transfer because they couldn’t sell off Gonçalo Ramos or Kolomuani and it's also the same reason that Napoli didn't want to sign Lukaku until they sold Oshimen.
It's all negotiation tactics.

You need a boss like De Laurentis to lead a club to success and gain healthy finance. Bosses like Bartomeu and Laporta in Barcelona only bring bad finance to a club. Levy and De Laurentis are clever in negotiations on transfer market and they help their clubs to improve financial status, that's good. They also help their clubs to achieve success, Scudetto with Napoli and somewhat success in Tottenham even they did not win titles.

PSG can put their belief in Kolo Muani rather than spend very big fund for Osimhen. Osimhen is a good striker but it is not worthy for PSG to spend over £100m to get the Nigerian player. It will break their strategy that aims at young players and avoid spending too much money for star players. This strategy can help PSG to build up and maintain their squad sustainably and success will come with time.

[...] In the last 4 years, both Juventus and Inter win this competition, I think this year has nothing different because both Inter and Juventus are the only teams that really active with the current window transfers.

Being active in the transfer window is not something that makes sense to become champions, we know that the competition in Serie A is tougher than other leagues, so i think that this season the Coppa will not be won by these two teams. I personally consider AS Roma, not for the Serie A title, but for the Coppa.

Carrarese - Catania match, Carrarese is the favorite, but Catania is not a weak team in Serie B either, who do you think will go further?

[xzone]

Tomorrow the first match of Coppa Italia will start.

Carrarese vs Catania, two of them are Serie B teams, but in August 10-11 there are few match where Serie A teams will play.

In the last 4 years, both Juventus and Inter win this competition, I think this year has nothing different because both Inter and Juventus are the only teams that really active with the current window transfers.

I couldn't get used to the fact that the matches started when August came. I don't think any team is fully prepared for the new season, the players have just rested and have just started playing together as a team.
It would be better if the teams that will play the first matches were Serie B teams, at least the other players can prepare a little more.
Juventus or Inter Milan always win the Coppa Italia, I can't say it's very exciting

Intermilan and Juventus are two big teams that have often been the rulers of Serie A, but I actually see that Intermilan has started to rise in the last 4 seasons to win the Scudetto after previously being unable to compete with Juventus due to their poor finances and continuing to change ownership of the club over the years, however, after Juventus dominance was destroyed in the last 4 seasons, this actually provided an opportunity for Intermilan and other teams to win the Scudetto, in the last few seasons we can see that many teams are starting to become strong candidates to win and even Intermilan, Milan and Napoli actually took turns winning the Scudetto, which we never saw when Juventus was able to dominate the league at that time, juventus never gave other teams the opportunity to win the Scudetto and this was proven when they controlled the Scudetto consecutively from 2011/12 to 2019/20 .

Fiorentina failed to win the match against Hull City which is one of the weak teams from England who are currently playing in the Championship League, some people certainly make Fiorentina as favorites but their game is not much better.
Hull City itself could actually be easily defeated if all the opportunities that Fiorentina have can be utilized properly, but unfortunately this match was quite boring and Fiorentina did not play as expected.
If in the future they are still the same, then the possibility for this pre-season is disappointment for the fans because in 4 matches they have only been able to win once, that was only in the first match.
I predict that Fiorentina can at least win the match by scoring 3 to 4 goals but that is just too high an expectation.

Fiorentina football team could not win the last match and match was difficult for both teams. Both teams gave their hundred percent to win this match . That players of both teams were active due to which we saw huge resistance in this match .Fiorentina football team did 2 goals in this match and in the comparison of that Hull City also did two goals in this match and goals were equal and both teams got equal point aand and that is 1, point. Both teams need more improvement because win the necessary for the progress and we didn't see win in this match. Rather we tough competition and two players from Hull City team did 1, 1 goal and two players of the Fiorentina did one,one goal and score was level.

Why do you say about points in that friendly match? Isn't the official season still not started so the match that is happening now is just a pre-season match which generally every team does not really care about winning or losing because sometimes there are teams that deliberately field young players to see how their condition is at this time. So you don't need to be surprised and make up stories about their strength because it's just a friendly match before the official season starts so whatever the result is in the match, it should still be considered as something very ordinary.

Yes, that's right. This is just a friendly match so counting points is useless, but even though it's a friendly match the coach is still serious about implementing the strategy because usually a friendly match will have an impact on the team in trying various formations and player formations.

Fiorentina still needs a lot of improvement especially in terms of defense, because Hull City is a second division team but in this match Fiorentina seemed to have experienced a major setback in the game and the team became much weaker. So Fiorentina needs improvement to face this season to be better.

That's also what I think, why talk about points in a friendly match? Maybe OP forgot that this was only a trial match that did not care about the results of the match but rather to see how their performance as a team as a whole.

Season A next season in my opinion will be more interesting, the article some clubs that initially have many problems and tend to decline in performance now they slowly start to improve and I hope they are truly better prepared in the coming season. AS Roma, for example, although it does not look very significant in the increase in their performance, but I can see something they can do in the following season under De Rossi's coaching, AC Milan can also provide competition even though it is not that strict, Juventus who slowly begin to find teak themselves, although there are still many shortcomings they have to improve.

[rendravolt]

So far Napoli have won 4 pre-season matches and as preparation for next season's Serie A, they already have the right weapons to be able to return to the title competition. With Antonio Conte everything went so well and they did not make the slightest mistake that led to defeat.

If we look at their opponents in the pre-season matches, they are actually not strong teams but at least with several big wins they have produced, they can increase the confidence of their players to continue to gain positive results later. Can't wait for Antonio Conte's first debut with Napoli and Napoli should have been able to bring him in earlier so that they don't experience a slump like last season.

[Leviathan.007]

Since Motta joined Juventus he tried to do his best and get the team improved to get better results. Motta knows the fans of Juventus expected to see good results from him because in the last season with Allegri when he lost some points they asked the team to get him fired and stop working with this coach while he was working there for years.
Now Motta wants to hire Nico González for his team. Nico González is still under contract with Fiorentina but they won't reject the offer from Juventus for this player.

I don't think pre-season matches say anything... The fact that Napoli were able to beat not the strongest opponents is of course good and speaks of a good atmosphere inside the club... But still we will see the main indicators after the start of the season, when every club will fight for points... Now there are other strong clubs in Serie A ready to fight for the title in the new season...

Roma is making a strong impression in the summer transfer window of 2024 after reaching an agreement with Juventus to sign Matias Soule, as well as signing Enzo Le Fee from Rennes. Currently, Roma is completing a deal with Girona for Artem Dovbyk, Artem Dovbyk would be a reasonable choice. Lukaku will not continue playing with the team on loan because Napoli is negotiating with Chelsea to buy the Belgian player to reunite with coach Antonio Conte. Artem Dovbyk is a name that many big clubs are eyeing this summer. There were times when it seemed that Atletico Madrid had secured the Ukrainian striker's signature. It's hard for me to explain why Artem Dovbyk didn't choose to go to Atletico Madrid because Atletico Madrid is a better team than Roma. However, AS Roma was the winning team.

throughout the history of Napoli Lukaku and Osimhen I feel very sorry for Lukaku.  Practically you can't train with anyone, in fact as a good professional he is training alone.  This is incredible wickedness, a way to marginalize a person.  They could have made him train with Roma, what would it cost him?

[bastisisca]

Another tweet from Fabrizio also showed that Dovbyk was already in Rome and he was welcomed by Roma fans who were ready to welcome Dovbyk.

Hopefully his choice of choosing Roma as a stepping stone to his career is not wrong.

So you're basically telling me, without beating around the bush too much, that Roma have practically given up on Romero Lukaku if they bought a replacement of this weight.
I'm not particularly interested, but it sheds a little light on the unfinished business of the loan that Chelsea didn't renew, and who knows why.
