Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Furious 7]

They are not suitable for the Premier League if they are older. Because the gameplay of the Premier League is very fast. Injuries to players may increase with age. However, the gameplay of Serie A is not very fast. Players can continue to perform well here even if they are older. Ibra is still playing well with AC Milan despite being 40 years old.

We are now in Serie A and it is not very good to compare the rhythms that exist in Serie A and the EPL because obviously these are very different and cannot be compared.
Serie A has a slower tempo but that is quite reasonable because this is their trademark.
Even things like this are acknowledged by Conte, where he once said that the difference between Serie A and EPL is in terms of intensity, so that the average age in the EPL is that there are more young players, but it is undeniable that there are still some players. old who can still compete. So sometimes it's not only old players who are actually difficult but even relatively younger players in Serie A when moving to the EPL sometimes can't adapt well there, the latest example is maybe Lukaku now and Pogba is also the same, which in the end they decided to back to Serie A.

The club is well known for recruiting players based on experience and records. This is a team who still field players who are aged 30 plus so its no surprise to me if they want to sign Di maria at age 34. They believe experience gets the job done so I don't think Juventus wanting to sign Di maria at this current stage of his carrer are worried about getting top performance from him.

Juventus have no plans for the long term. Their goal is to perform well next season. Because their performance last season was completely unstable. And so they want to take Di Maria to the team. Di Maria is a very talented player. Although he is older, but his fitness is good. It looks like he will be able to serve the team well for the next few seasons.

Juventus currently does not have a new player to land in Turin and the latest news says that only di Maria wants to be brought in from PSG but the transfer process has not been realized.because Juventus must immediately improve next season considering their poor performance in European competitions and also domestic last season where they could only finish in 4th place even though we knew beforehand that they were serious challengers in the race for the Scudetto title.but they stumbled last season

Juventus have an interest in signing Neymar, whether this is just a rumor or maybe it will come true. Even though Neymar himself is still under contract with PSG for another 3 years, but it seems PSG are not so satisfied with Neymar's performance. With the emergence of these rumors, I really hope that Neymar will actually join Juventus, and so will Di Maria. Because if that happens then I personally will not doubt Juventus next season, so Dybala's move is no longer important because Juventus will remain strong and get better next season.

I doubt that Neymar will leave his comfortable position and huge salary at PSG for Juventus, where he will have to work much harder. But it would be fun to dream up: Neymar, Di Maria and Ronaldo (there are also such rumors) in Juventus  I think that it could be a very strong team capable of beating almost any opponent in a face-to-face meeting. And Juventus would definitely regain the Serie A gold.

Not unlike her nickname the old lady, Juventus often bring in players who are a little older because they have a short-term project in recruiting players, So far, we can see that almost half of the Juventus squad are experienced players (old).
Arrival Maria will make Juventus even stronger, especially so far we know that Di Maria played in three positions equally well, Di Maria age, which has now reached 34 years, of course, will not be an obstacle for her to develop her game performance because the Italian League is not a league that relies on technicality and speed as well as the English league or La Liga.

If you look at Ibrahimovic maybe yes, he still has a pretty good physicality playing in Serie A. But to play in the EPL or a fast league maybe he can't adapt. There are not many players who can still survive at the age of 40. There are even many players who retire young because they can't maintain a diet and physique.
As for the current Di Maria I think it is still pretty good to compete in Serie A if any club is interested in him.

Ibrahimovic is one of several players who are able to play at a high level even though he has reached the age of 40, it is not easy to steal the attention of elite clubs when a player has reached 37-40 years, especially his position as a striker. His experience and sharpness in scoring goals is still reliable, he is still able to maintain his performance for another 2 years, especially in Serie A. The Premier League is not the place to attack 40-year-olds. where they rely more on physicality and sharpness, While Serie A is known for its relaxed style of play.

There is no doubt Ibrahimović is a legendary player but now as you already mention he is 40 which is not suitable for soccer even he is super fit and able to play some but as we already watch in last season he was mostly injured or not able to play full matches, so it's better time for him to change his role and try to manage in coaching or some other thing in soccer because with this all he can face some dilemma which is possible for any person specially when you are playing soccer.

Mostly after 37 players try to leave this game because they feel it's better for them and their body, but he is still enjoying which is not bad because he is physically amazing player but as I already mention he can't play as he was few years back but if he is able then he can play part-time in this season then surely he needs to give himself better favor for his health.

Yes, we all know that ibrahimović is a strong person with a strong mentality but I don't think even he will be able to continue after the next season. He is still playing well and contributing to the team but the team is going to play a lot better if they have an agile player who is young and has time on his side.

Don't get me wrong, Ibrahimovic still contributes to the team but I don't think his contribution is going to increase. He is already 40 years old and his skills are also decreasing over time.

I really don't understand why a lot of people think that if a player is more than 30 years old and in his late 30s he is a bad player. It's true that he probably does not have the pace that he once had when he was younger but I think experience plays a big role here.

Some people think about this, maybe due to their stamina. But, as long as they are still able to play well, consistently good, and able to give a great contribution to the squad, why not? they have experience and they still have good stamina. I know that this will depend on each personality. But I am sure that every coach has understood when to stop using the old players and when to still continue placing them into their main line squad.
However, if their performance has been decreased so much and there are still other players who can play better, it may decrease their chance to be in the first-line squad.

Because to be a successful team, can't just rely on young players, it takes the presence of experienced players who are over 30 years old.
Even though Ibrahimovic is 40 years old and has been through a lot of injuries, but I believe his contribution is very big to help AC Milan win
the Serie A trophy this season. So I don't think it's a problem for a team to recruit players over 30 years old, the most important thing is that
if they want to bring in players who are not young anymore, the club must make sure these players can have a positive impact on the team.
In addition to experience, usually players over the age of 30 can motivate younger players. Especially young players are usually inconsistent
and emotionally unstable, in this case the importance of older players as leaders on the field guiding younger players. That's how most successful
teams can combine young and old players in their squad.

I agree with you. Ibrahimovic is good for Milan but he shouldn't play as a CF anymore in the next season. Why don't to hire him as a coach's assistant? This job seems more suitable for him at 40 years old. Ibrahimovic may still have good skills, but Milan needs to think about regeneration for their attacking line. If they always rely on old strikers, they won't have an opportunity to regenerate the front line. Two current top CFs in AC Milan are Ibrahimovic (40) & Giroud (35). One of them should be out from squad to have 1 free spot for a younger CF. AC Milan ideally has 1 top striker with the age around 20-30 years old.

I don't know if this rumor will come true but I see it's still not crowded at the moment Neymar is being talked about going to Juventus I don't think PSG will just let him go because the contract is still so long because he still has a good game for now even though there are some who said they were not satisfied with Neymar's performance.

I know Jeventus will be a little different if Neymar and Di Maria are in the same club in Serie A this will be a new experience for them of course I assume Juventus will be better than you think.
Only rumors that Di Maria is getting stronger close to Juventus and others are still not necessarily expected.

Juventus have Fedrico Chiesa on Neymar position and I see not really good option try to get him from  PSG and still have contract, but last season Chiesa still injury and will get back for next season or not good decision if Juventus get loan option with Neymar from PSG than get permanently because have higher transfer values. Neymar still on the top level nowadays but Ligue 1 can't comparer with Serie  A because have many competitive team from Milan, Inter, Napoli and AS Roma depending with Ligue 1 only with PSG as favorite team will get tittle domestic league every season. Juventus will not spent much money for Neymar and actually will ask most expensive salary if really move to Juventus and looks not interested offering for Juventus get Neymar sign's.

Inter are preparing to bring back Lukaku to the team again on a loan deal but I guess there is still no fresh news about the details of this possible transfer. Chelsea don't want to send him permanently for now and he must still be in their plans. Inter would still make use of this deal anyway as they haven't got as much contribution as Lukaku made to the team from Dzeko. Dzeko performed not that bad of course but there is a big gap between his performance and Lukaku's here. After Inter complete this deal Inter can fight harder for the title.

If inter can get lukaku back to the team, it will make them to improve more in next season, because they where seriously lacking in the areas of strikers that made their performance very poor in some matches. I believe Chelsea managements will definitely release lukaku, because they are not too happy about his current performance, that is making them to start searching for talented strikers that can help them to win next season title and many titles to come. I think, Chelsea managements are planning to sign in Manchester city strike to have a good chance to perform better in next season competition.

You are right. Coaches know exactly when to put a player out of the squad. No player can be called old if he is 30 or 35 years old. I would say the age of the players depends on their fitness. If the fitness is good, the players can play well even if they are older. Burning evidence of Ibrahimovich. Even though he is 40 years old, he can still play like a young man. Ronaldo's fitness is also very good. I would say he will be able to serve his team effortlessly for a few more years.

the deal is very close to being closed
after all, Chelsea must sell, given its post Abramobivich situation (or as you write)
very sad that Chelsea fans have to pay

Juventus have Fedrico Chiesa on Neymar position and I see not really good option try to get him from  PSG and still have contract

Yes, his contract is still long, at least if Juventus want Neymar, they have to wait three more seasons. In addition, Juventus are reported also interested in LOSC Lille midfielder, Renato Sanches. I don't think Juventus need to worry too much after lose Dybala, because apart from Fedrico Chiesa, Juventus still have Dusan Vlahovic, Alvaro Morata, to fill the Juventus front line. Their contribution has not been bad this season, so I think Vlahovic and Morata can be relied on.

You are right. Although Dybala is not at Juventus, the Juventus team is still good enough. They have talented players like Morata and Dusan Vlahovic. But if Juventus want to win the title, they need more talented players. Midfield and attacking lineup need to be strengthened. Juventus' performance in the previous Moram was not as good as expected. And if the squad is not strong, we will not see any improvement in Juventus' performance next season.

I think when talking about this in some clubs there seems to be a player transfer system, so when they want someone they have to have a lot of money to take over an ongoing contract, only if this method is used it will be very expensive and must be considered well.

Juventus shouldn't have to worry about their attacking line because they already have great players there, so they have to forget to sign Neymar. For the midfield position, it is likely that Juventus will succeed in signing Pogba because it seems that no other club is interested in signing Pogba (except for a contract extension offer from Man United which Pogba has rejected).

The latest news I have is that Romero Lukaku has officially joined Inter Milan next season. Lukaku is on loan from Chelsea which will expire in June 2023 with a value of 8 million Euros plus bonuses. Lukaku's return to Inter Milan will probably be a show for him because in the Premier League he is not playing as expected.

it is very likely that Lukaku will again be able to show his best performance with Inter Milan especially now that he will play with talented players from Inter Milan's newest recruits on their front lines, Inter Milan are now very serious about building their team to be stronger next season, among others Another Serie A team, Inter Milan, is the team that has been most aggressively overhauling its squad.

Indeed, if Juventus manages to include the player Pogba, it will be useful to the club, knowing that Pogba wants to be in the Champions League, so the management of Juventus must take care of this player. It will certainly be a good addition to the club by competing for the league title and making a good offer in a competition CL.

Juventus does not have a problem on the front line, after being left by Dybala it does not make Juventus attack line weak, because there are still several other attackers that Juventus still relies on. The main concern in midfield, Juventus lack a midfielder who can send through the ball to the attackers. Signing Pogba can be done by Juventus to strengthen the midfield, Juventus must also improve their defense, there is no meaning at all if the midfield and attack line are filled with top players if the defense is still fragile.
