Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Rustam Meraj]

There were some rumors about Federico Chiesa and this player was about to leave we saw the news about Federico Chiesa leaving Juventus because Motta doesn't want to have this payer anymore in Juventus,
But it seems everything is compilated and now Federico Chiesa doesn't want to leave the team and he wants to stay there in Juventus. He recently posted something about Juventus and himself wearing the shirt of his team. Federico Chiesa's agent was recently in London and we were expecting to see Federico Chiesa playing for Chelsea and Tottenham in the next season. But considering the post he published he wants to stay for a longer time.

I am happy that Federico Chiesa wants to stay with Juventus. There were rumors he might leave but now it seems he wants to stay. He even posted picture of himself wearing the team shirt on social media. This is good news for Juventus fans because Chiesa is great player. Some people thought he might move to Chelsea or Tottenham because his agent was in London but now it seems he wants to stay at Juventus. I think this is a good decision because Chiesa has a lot of potential with  team.

I would not be surprised at whatever outcome of any friendly match because it is for fun and for coaches to make ammendment on their teams especially the big teams. Small teams will enjoy enjoy themselves on the pitch because it is once in a lifetime opportunity for them to play with a big team.

Inter did not see any reason why they should win the match or take it that serious because they are preparing for the upcoming season which will be kicking off soon. No need to struggle or kill yourself over a match that will not add to your reputation.

Of course this friendly match is not expected, but this preseason is very important for the coach and also the players they need to hone their strategy and also the stamina of their players, this Inter defeat also cannot be said that they are not serious because this is a matter of their pride and also their fans so of course they want the same victory, and Inter only underwent 2 tough matches or with big clubs I say namely Ittihad and also Chelsea but they failed to win with Ittihad of course they are experiencing a slump how their rivals AC Milan do well to maintain high consistency to win every match, this should be what Inter should instill so as not to see or glance at less competitive matches they should have to prove with their sharpness to seriously secure the best in the next season.

And I think Inter lost a little of their confidence in this preseason and I hope Inzaghi will evaluate the strategy and also his players so that there is no bad season for them because the season will arrive soon so my hope is they will compete fully with AC Milan next season and make the Serie A league rise again with their derby.

[asriloni]

While other people are focused on discussing AC Milan, which has competed in pre-season against strong European teams such as Man City, Real Madrid and Barcelona. And AC Milan did get positive results. Which makes everyone appreciate AC Milan. But I think we also need to look at Inter Milan, who just experienced their first defeat in a pre-season match. And what was surprising was that Inter Milan lost to one of the clubs from the Saudi Pro League, namely Al-ittihad, with a score of 0-2. And what surprised me about this match was that one of Al-ittihad's new players who was brought in from Aston Villa actually scored 2 goals in that match. Inter Milan did not play seriously in this match because they continued to rotate players between the first and second tier. But Al-ittihad also did the same thing except for Benzema who played the full game.

What i can see from that game is that Diaby has been carrying Ittihad's attacking line. He's such a smart guy and powerful attacker; also, he looks too good for Saudi club. It's amazing to see Diaby's performance in this game. No doubt, people were disappointed when he left the EPL for Ittihad.
This is a friendly game. But, I still want to assess Inter Milan's performance. And, they're still good overall. Even though Diaby made them lose, but i think Inter can still play even better than what they showed in that game.



Also, don't forget, Inter used a good starting lineup in that game. However, Martinez wasn't there. But, they're all good.

No player is bigger than the club. Chiesa was also not called by Motta to join the squad. I do support him leaving the club instead of staying at Juventus much longer. It will be better for Chiesa to get his crap together and leave Juventus as soon as possible.

Though you don't like it, it seems Motta is not seeing him fit for his strategy. Chiesa deserves a club that can respect him.

I can't believe how Chiesa is out of the project. And it's really sad to see him go.

Every coach has a different view and he has the right to choose players according to his wishes that are suitable for the team that will be built, so there is no other way for Chiesa than to find another team to be able to make his career future better.
Despite the many fans who regret this, Motta knows better what he needs and I think now some rumors about Chiesa's new team have spread so let's just wait for the official announcement of Chiesa leaving Juventus and I think it is much better for the player and the team.

I think any club that has appointed a new coach, should be able to give him enough freedom so that he can do what he is actually planning to do. This should be the case for every club. You need to give a coach the freedom that he wishes to have. There is something called "trust the process". Whenever a club brings in a new coach, they should be able to trust the process and trust the coach as well.

Another thing is, that no club or coach should actually listen to the fans. Because they do not know what is actually going on in the club and in the dressing room. They are always going to say a lot of things. But the decision which is taken by the coach, if it works they are going to be happy at the end of the day. Even if you do listen to the fans, if the things that they say don’t work out, they are still going to blame you for it.

Considering what I have seen in the transfer window so far, I feel a back-to-back title for Inter this season.    Inter doesn't need to be that much active in the market but the other top teams should be.

Juventus has changed their manager maybe but they still couldn't perform the transfer plans in their mind. Motta has a really difficult job to do because of that. My biggest expectation is from Napoli to make difficulties for Inter honestly.

Because they already have a great squad. Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia also are staying for another season as it seems. I don't see any offer for Osimhen because of his high costs. Conte is a special manager and he would know what to do with this power.

Some people thought he might move to Chelsea or Tottenham because his agent was in London but now it seems he wants to stay at Juventus. I think this is a good decision because Chiesa has a lot of potential with  team.

It would also be better if Federico Chiesa wanted to stay at Juventus rather than leaving for another team which would also take time for him to adapt to a new team again this season. Moreover, Juventus also really needs players like Federico Chiesa and also some other players who have more potential because Juventus must be a strong team this season while hoping to compete again for the title in Serie A this season. Because I think Inter Milan will still be a strong team in Serie A this season so some other teams must be able to stop Inter Milan from winning often in every match.

It would also be better if Federico Chiesa wanted to stay at Juventus rather than leaving for another team which would also take time for him to adapt to a new team again this season.

Moving to another club in a same league and same nation is easier than moving to a club in another country. Federico Chiesa is making one important decision for rest of his career because next few seasons will be his best time before his career comes to downside.

Moreover, Juventus also really needs players like Federico Chiesa and also some other players who have more potential because Juventus must be a strong team this season while hoping to compete again for the title in Serie A this season. Because I think Inter Milan will still be a strong team in Serie A this season so some other teams must be able to stop Inter Milan from winning often in every match.

If they actually need Chiesa, they will try to convince him staying in Turin and Chiesea will not have demand for transfer to another club. Their relationship seems to be broken and time for their separation is counting down.

I did not see Roma announcement on Chiesa transfer to their club so all news so far is purely rumor. We need some more time to know a next destination of Chiesa.

He opens to move to Roma but there is no official news from both clubs after three latest days.

Chiesa's post about Juventus is a classic emotional move, but the situation stinks of bad strategy. If Motta doesn't see him fitting into the system, Chiesa's looking at a long season on the bench, and that's career suicide for a player of his caliber

Loyalty is great, but this is professional sports, not a family reunion. Chiesa needs to play, and if that means moving to a club where his skills are valued - Chelsea, Tottenham, wherever - then that's the move

Juventus fans might love him, but watching a talent like Chiesa rot on the bench is an insult to the game itself. He's got too much potential to waste

We have the likes of AC Milan who came second in the standings last season, they can also give a tough time to Inter Milan and not just Juventus given them a tough time always. At the end of the last season, we saw clubs like Atalanta that finished in the top four of the table and also teams like Bologna who finished after them and book a spot in the champions league. If they can perform as much better as they did in the last season, they would make the competition more interesting and open to winning at anytime. Chiesa is a valuable player to Juventus and if he stays, it’ll add to their quality performance next season but even though he doesn’t, Juventus can still farewell without him and be a league contender and also do well in the champions league next season.

It seems so. We can't underestimate other clubs, like Juventus and AC Milan. They have improved. But, I'm confident Inter Milan will win this season. Inter is favored to win the Serie A again. But, Juventus's odds are surprisingly higher than I expected.
I predict that, if Milan and Juventus compete for 2nd and 3rd, it's not impossible for either to win the scudetto. But I trust Simeone more in this to help inter gets is back to back scudetto.

I'm sure Inter Milan can show the same performance as last season when they got ez win for the scudetto. Juventus and Milan have new coaches. They need time to build chemistry with their players.
I think it can't be done in a short time, and most probably they need more than a season to have good chemistry.

It is very clear that a player like Federico Chiesa is still really needed at Juventus. This player is always ready to be placed anywhere on the attack line. He can be a striker or winger. And actually I hope Thiago Motta includes this player in his plans for Juventus' main squad. But in reality, this player is on the list of players who will be sold if a team wants to recruit him. And actually it wasn't the player who wanted to leave Juventus, but the coach who didn't include Federico Chiesa in his plans for the next season. I don't know what Thiago Motta was thinking at that time but now it seems clear that this player will stay and I am sure that in the end Federico Chiesa will be part of the plans made by Thiago Motta.

Inter Milan did not play seriously in this match because they continued to rotate players between the first and second tier. But Al-ittihad also did the same thing except for Benzema who played the full game.

They embarrassed themselves, losing to a club from the SPL even though they actually dominated the match (statistically), playing attacking but only making 2 shots on goal from 14 attempted shots. Meanwhile, on the other side, Al-Ittihad with 8 attempted shots, had 4 shots on goal, this shows that Inter players are not good at taking advantage of their opportunities. Regardless of whether they play seriously or not, losing to a team that is actually at a different level is something embarrassing.

I didn't take it too seriously because this defeat happened in a friendly game. On paper, Inter Milan were clearly favored over Al-Ittihad because the two teams were at very different levels, but Inter actually lost to the team without being able to reply with a single goal. Inter did not play seriously in this game because they knew that the official match would start soon, preparation and squad completeness needed to be prioritized rather than chasing victory in a game that was not competing for anything. Although Inter lost by more than two goals to Al-Ittihad, it will not make Inter's level drop, if this game is repeated in the official game, maybe Inter will make Al-Ittihad go home with a big defeat.

You didn't take it seriously because you didn't bet on this match, my POV isn't a general POV regarding football, but also a bettor's POV, honestly, I was angry with them, I gave a handicap to Al-Ittihad, but they even lost, as if the one who had to give the handicap was Al-Ittihad and not Inter Milan. I saw this as a chance to make some easy money, but they left me disappointed, can't wait for the league to open so there are no more rubbish friendlies.

But even though the league will open soon, we all know that every match at the start of the season is just as risky as pre-season matches. So I always bet small at the start of the season. Because last season I experienced consecutive defeats due to having too much faith in Napoli. But so far Inter Milan has not disappointed me except for this pre-season match. I understand your disappointment because I also bet on that match. But as a fan of Italian football, to be honest, I still saw Inter Milan playing well in that match even though they lost. So, when Serie A starts, I'm pretty sure I will always bet on Inter Milan. And I am sure that Inter Milan will repeat its glory just like last season.

And actually it wasn't the player who wanted to leave Juventus, but the coach who didn't include Federico Chiesa in his plans for the next season.

Some seasons ago, Federico Chiesa is an important player in Juventus but after getting several injuries, his body was affected and his contribution for Juventus dropped a lot. If we look at the last two seasons, Chiesa did not have considerable contributions for Juventus and the poor performances for Italy this summer in Euro 2024 can be very last reasons for Juventus to think of separation with Chiesa.

I don't know what Thiago Motta was thinking at that time but now it seems clear that this player will stay and I am sure that in the end Federico Chiesa will be part of the plans made by Thiago Motta.

Only if the coach can not find better player than Chiesea, then keeping Chiesa is a best choice for Thiago Motta. Because Chiesa potentially can help Juventus to have speed, creativeness and good attack power even he is no longer at his best level.

Juventus fans might love him, but watching a talent like Chiesa rot on the bench is an insult to the game itself. He's got too much potential to waste

For the career of the player, Federico Chiesa, he really shouldn't be able to stay at a club that might not even give him much playing time next season. Because I heard that Motta did not include Federico Chiesa in his plans. And that's not good news for this player. So I don't think Juventus' move to sell this player is a bad step. Not only for the sake of the club but also for the future or career of the player himself. Currently, many clubs have been linked with interest in this player, but I have not heard of any club seriously approaching him. Even Federico Chiesa was offered to AC Milan. And yeah, it seems like AC Milan isn't that interested. And there is the latest news that someone is suggesting Man United recruit Federico Chiesa. But even that is just a rumor. So I feel that Federico Chiesa will have difficulty finding a new club even though Juventus is trying to let him go.

I was in your shoes a few days ago in this preseason match having a defeat that was upsetting and disappointing. But still we have to be patient and understand that nothing can be predicted in a friendly match. Maybe I would also bet on the same option as you because teams from the SPL rarely win in friendly matches but it was very surprising after reading your reply that Inter conceded 2 goals without a fight.
It's really sad to see a match like this even though it's not a serious match but I feel the disappointment you feel but this is an experience to bet on other options that are a little less risky.

Maybe betting on the number of scores over or under is a less risky option.

Okay guys, as has been revealed if we will be able to see De Gea back on the field and of course this will be his new adventure with Fiorentina.

I think De Gea is starting to get bored because he spent his days for the past year without ever feeling the match and since leaving Manchester United he has had a hard time getting the team he wants. We know that before leaving Manchester United he received the golden glove award.

Fiorentina's offer must be very powerful to be able to sign him and of course the salary issue has been discussed well between the two parties. I just hope De Gea can perform well again and keep Fiorentina's goal from conceding. His experience will be very much needed and I hope Fiorentina can be a comfortable home for him.

Federico Chiesa's agent was recently in London and we were expecting to see Federico Chiesa playing for Chelsea and Tottenham in the next season. But considering the post he published he wants to stay for a longer time.

So far I see a lot of speculation that Chiesa can continue his career in the Premier League in Chelsea or Tottenham, or La Liga in Barcelona, ​​there are also speculations that he can continue playing in Milan, not that it can be true, but that it is rumors. But I have not seen anywhere that Chiesa could stay in Juventus.

Inter must understand their current condition because after all with the status of defending champions they will definitely do their best so that the performance next season must be even better because apart from the demands that must be like that, they must also have prestige so that the trophy that has been obtained cannot be released just like that.

Of course this will not be as easy as before because with their status in the next season (defending champions) there is a burden that they must carry even though this is not implied but the burden to defend the Scudetto is of course very clear even though it cannot be denied that there seems to be a kind of curse for champions who until now have not been back to back from several seasons that have occurred but that will not shake Inter's intentions now because they will definitely work hard to realize it.

Inter have everything to defend their title, from what I see, perhaps their most likely rival for the Scudetto could be Milan, they have worked very well in the transfer market and look very good in friendly matches. It is important that Fonseca correctly calculates the team's up to optimal form not much earlier than the end of the season, but I think he has enough experience not to allow this.

I just hope De Gea can perform well again and keep Fiorentina's goal from conceding. His experience will be very much needed and I hope Fiorentina can be a comfortable home for him.

After his contract with Manchester United last season expired, De Gea was completely unemployed this season. Maybe De Gea did that on purpose to rest. Because if it is said that De Gea does not yet have a club that is interested in him, of course this is very wrong. The reason is, after De Gea left Manchester United, many teams wanted his services, such as the Saudi Arabian League team. But maybe De Gea wants to rest and decides not to take a contract from this team. But now Fiorentina seems to have succeeded in convincing De Gea to return to playing again. Even though he is quite old, I am sure his performance as a goalkeeper is still good. So at Fiorentina De Gea will definitely be the main goalkeeper. The reason is that the current Fiorentina goalkeeper will definitely be replaced by De Gea. Apart from that, according to the news circulating, De Gea is reported to have flown to Italy today, possibly to undergo a medical test. Maybe in the next few days De Gea will most likely sign a contract and officially join Fiorentina. And yes, I hope De Gea can be comfortable joining Fiorentina. But I think De Gea will definitely feel at home at Fiorentina, because he will definitely be a senior figure for other Fiorentina players.
