Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[AndySt]

Maybe we are talking about friendly games for Juventus but I think that there is still something wrong about them. They couldn't fight back much against Real Madrid today. Pogba's absence can affect the team in the midfield really deeply as long as they don't sign a strong midfielder there. There are only two weeks to go for the Serie A to start so they had better hurry about this. It hasn't been much time since they sold de Ligt for a lot of money so they can even spend that much money for a midfielder too.

Yes, it's hard to envy Juventus. Pogba has not even managed to appear in the team in official matches, but he has already managed to get injured and now Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri is reported to puzzle over how to do without a football player now and then, on the contrary, think about how to fit him into the game. I don't think Juventus will arrange a major transfer on this occasion, given that Pogba himself came to the club as a free agent. I also think it is quite problematic to look for a free player of this level for sane money, because many clubs have already decided on their transfers and all the tidbits of the football market have already been snapped up. Therefore, I am afraid that Juventus' tactics in this matter will so far come down to the fact that, like before, we somehow managed without Pogba, and now we will manage with our internal reserves.

With the money, they bought Bremer and can be even better than DeLigt, even today he did a big mistake.

They still have money for a big player, rumors are increasing about Sergei Milinkovi Savic.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been rumoured with Manchester United also these days. However if Juventus join the race to transfer him then Manchester United wouldn't stand much chance. The reason is that they aren't in the Champions League this season of course. He would be a wonderful choice for Juventus and he is really one of the rare midfielders that you can trust fully. It might be hard to convince Lazio to sell him but if their concern is money then Juventus would solve the problem easily.

Milinkovic's name appeared because MU failed to get de Jong. Manchester United's first offer has been rejected by Lazio because the nominal is low

it is very likely that United will increase their offer on Milinkovic because they really want to improve MU's weakness in their midfield. MU's defeat to ATM (1-0) is proof that United's midfield is very weak, and ten hag realize that

I would understand if it was another team, but we are talking about the team that won la liga and UCL last season vs the team that failed to win and became fourth in serie A which to me is a far inferior league. So it was only normal for Juventus to fail to win, and not even have a fighters chance to beat Real.

The only possibility was if Real saw this as a friendly and sent some young kids to gain some experience, which they did not do and with this kind of roster matchup, I can't see how Real would lose this game. Juventus is fine, they may or may not end up getting the league title this year, but surely it won't be decided if they will or won't based on this game.

[Jody.Drummer]

I still have no word on what scheme will be taken from Paul Pogba's injury. But I believe that the club will choose the best path, I think Pogba must respect the decision the club will take. Which means he will definitely follow that decision, because what is at stake here is not only him but also the club that signed him.

The problem is that due to the World Cup taking place at such a strange time, the contradiction between the interests of the player and the interests of the club only increases. Pogba wants to be ready to compete in the World Cup and is planning his recovery schedule for the event. The club obviously wants Pogba to have surgery as soon as possible in order to recover quickly and play as much of the season as possible (but in doing so, most likely missing out on the World Cup). I don't know how this issue will eventually be resolved.

It will be interesting how they find a middle ground because on the other hand Juventus are well aware that they must do their best for Pogba's recovery but on the other hand the World Cup is one of the big dreams of the players. Apart from showing their quality in the national team, it also gives them pride when they are at this big event and obviously Pogba doesn't want to miss the opportunity there.

Real Madrid fielded their best squad against Juventus, so it's only natural that Juventus were beaten by Real Madrid. We could say Juventus faced
Real Madrid as the best team in Europe, so it's hard to expect Juventus to beat Real Madrid. Even if Pogba can play, Juventus will still find it difficult
to face Real Madrid, at least Juventus can learn from the defeat against Real Madrid. From the statistics we can see that it looks like Juventus
players have difficulty building attacks, Juventus were only able to make 5 kicks and not a single shot on goal for 90 minutes. That should be
Allegri's concern, even though Juventus fielded 3 front players, but it seemed that Juventus forwards lacked ball supply. Allegri has to think about
the weakness of Juventus, which is that Juventus does not have a creative midfield if there is no Pogba. It's a good idea for Juventus to bring in
at least one midfielder before Serie A starts.

Actually it is Arsenal that is chasing Milinkovic, they are willing to offer around €50m to sign him from Lazio which is reported that asking for €55m.
Unless ManU move quickly and offer the requested money, they will lose another target this transfer window.

It's possible that the management still missed it so that it had a bad impact on their team because there was a shortage of professional players to provide defense so it wouldn't be easily broken and they are now too late to buy players because the match is already underway, therefore I think with early preparation becomes more important than doing something when it has been defeated by the opponent.

Roma have been reported to be interested in Andrea Belotti who is still free agent now. However the number of strikers in the team would increase quite a lot then. They have already signed Dybala recently. I don't know if they need another one. When it comes to Belotti he is a decent striker for me. But it is doubtful how much playing time he would have at Roma among all these alternatives. I wonder what kind of plans Mourinho has for him. If he is thinking of him in the lineup directly then they should go for him.

This looks like it will be an interesting one because there are some reports also saying that Mou has been in contact with Belloti for the last few weeks.
Roma have also offered a salary of around €3.5 million for this player but there are some things that are still going to happen because if we see several La Liga clubs are also trying to woo this player.

Roma coach is well ready to give the team talented players that can stand very well through out the tournament without experience any failure from their duty. those new talented players they signed in into the team really demonstrated well in some of their friendly matches, that made their coach to feel they still need new young talented striker that can assist Dybala to ensure they achieve victory from every match in next season. I believe, Roma will definitely go far in next season competition, because their managements are seriously working to spend any amount of money to bring in new young talented players in this season.

Actually I don't see anything that can be linked between Pogba's absence and Juventus' defeat because AFAIK Pogba only made a difference when they met Guadalajara and they without Pogba had succeeded in holding Barcelona before so when they lost to Madrid I don't see any logical reason to be associated with it. Pogba.

Their formation against Madrid is a little different, usually their tactics put forward midfielders to explore further but when they meet Madrid they don't do that because their 3 midfielders have been locked by 3 Madrid midfielders so their strategy doesn't work.
When this happens I still feel they have to make a more suitable formation with 4 or even 5 midfielders like they did before.

I don't know what would happen if Pogba was able to play in this match and I don't care about it much too actually. Because it was just a friendly and the more important thing now is that the league is beginning in two weeks. Being deprived of him after the season starts would affect Juventus negatively surely. Because we have seen this for a long time when it comes to their midfield. Adding Pogba to the team was going to be like a medicine for it but he has got an unfortunate injury now.

Usually Mourinho has a special strategy when he chases players who already have players in the same position in the team. I'm not surprised if Mourinho sometimes uses formations that we don't expect. Because in my opinion the player who is being targeted this time has a good appearance. I think Mourinho has a special target next season with AS Roma.

yes of course, Mourinho is a very experienced coach I have no doubts about what he is doing and signing Andrea Belotti for free is an advantage for AS Roma and if you look at Andrea Belotti's game I think he fits very well with Mourinho's strategy especially if he will A duet with Dybala who has a different character will of course make AS Roma's front line even more dangerous.
The number of forwards that Roma currently has cannot be separated from their big target to be consistent with the many competitions they will participate in.

It seems that if Mourinho really wants to bring in Andrea Belotti maybe he wants to have a good squad depth especially in strikers,
besides that maybe Andrea Belotti will fit into the scheme implemented by Mourinho,
We'll see what happens with the rumors later

I don't like it at all as a coach
Presumptuous, not so good.
He manages to do well when he already has a team with talents and that works, anyone like that (even me) would be able to do well

With Roma he did well because the team was already doing well, if you look at the last few seasons. He had a bit of luck (that one)

I see him more as a character that he created himself, because that way he feels more confident as a coach, I think that's a good thing as long as no one is harmed there. As for luck, I think things that happen in football are part of luck. But do not forget that luck will not come if it is not accompanied by hard work.

Mourinho is a typical arrogant coach, which many people know. I think he is one of the best coaches out there at the moment but surely we will rarely see him coach any mid-table team, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Inter and Roma is a list of teams he has coached. Of course he coached a talented team more often than others, so he was quite lucky about that.

I don't think he can be as successful at Inter, Chelsea or Real Madrid. At Roma, he will not be able to achieve that success easily even though Roma are a good team in Serie A.

After very good last season now hopes are high for Roma so just because of this right now they are chasing few players even they are already having few from free market which is good for them because they are not good in finances but still improving their squad depth and bringing some good players for giving good challenge to opponents for coming years as they are also defending champions in UEFA Europa Conference cup.

Now in this season they are already having few good targets like they are going to fight for top four spots because right now things are in good shape for them and if they are able to do this then surely it's going to be new start for this Mourinho who is going down badly in last few seasons. Even peoples believe he is already down and out, but last season success is having some positive change for his career and now this new season can bring more positive development.
