Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rendravolt]

I can't overlook what Spalletti did with Napoli as well. It was really something else. After more than 30 years Napoli won another Serie A title in a really magical way. It was such a dominant one that it would never be forgotten in team history for sure. He could have stayed and worked for maintaining the success but he didn't want the continuation of this relationship anymore. Because he believed that he didn't have any energy left to maintain success.

Now he has even given a break for his job. If the situation is really like that then I believe he did the best for himself. Hopefully Rudi Garcia can keep Napoli being competitive.

I think the Napoli players will have to get used to being without Spalletti in Serie A next season and they will adapt to the new coach later. Spalletti is a great coach and I think the reason he didn't want to continue with Napoli is because he doesn't want to taint what he achieved last season should he fail next season. Surely anything that Spalletti has given will be an extraordinary experience and they cannot if they continue to reflect on the current situation.

The Napoli players have to give all the best for the team and also the new coach, namely Rudi Garcia, but even if we dream, it will not be easy to achieve in a short time. We just have to see them show it again and prove it with coach Rudi Garcia.

I've been hearing that some fans, and especially the ultras at Inter Milan, are not happy with Cuadrado now that he has joined the club. Maybe that has something to do with the time he played for Juventus against Inter Milan and the fans were unhappy about this player because of that.

[Docnaster]

Spalletti's departure will certainly have a huge impact on them for next season and the exit of several key players will greatly affect the team's performance. Napoli showed quite a good performance last season so that everyone hopes that the new Napoli coach can continue this performance, thus creating high expectations and in my opinion it is very unlikely in his first season and also possible because these high expectations burden this team, especially the coach new Napoli Rudi Garcia.

Spalletti's contribution to Napoli really deserves a thumbs up, no one even thought he was able to make Napoli the strongest team in Serie A last season, Rudi Garcia is also a good coach but the burden he carries is really heavy, everyone has high hopes he was able to match Spalletti's achievements and bring Napoli to the Serie A title again. maybe in some parts, we will see that there are drastic changes that have occurred in the pattern of playing Napoli, as long as Osimhen remains at the club, the chances for Napoli to win the Scudetto again are very large.

What Spalletti did with Napoli last season is so great that many managers who're well respected would beg to achieve so it can hugely count to their Curriculum Vitae.
I don't think Rudi Garcia can replicate that same feat even when there's every possiblity that he can it. Napoli and Victor Osimhen must decide now on the player's future so he can decide wether to remain at the club or move on

It took years for Luciano Spalleti to achieve the fantastic results for Napoli, and lifting the scudetto with Napoli after 33 years without a domestic title was a very memorable occasion for them. Luciano Spalleti resigned from his role as Napoli's head coach, but he did so for personal reasons. When it comes to the incoming boss, Rudi Garcia, he will undoubtedly fall short of the outgoing manager's expectations. However, I believe that if Rudi Garcia is given more time than Luciano Spalleti, he will make good use of his position and provide solid results for the club and the supporters.

You can say it about Napoli and their President De Sanctis as they spent about last twenty years to build up their club after ranking up from Serie B. From Lavezzi, Hamsik, Higuain, Cavani, Insigne, Koulibaly, etc. and they only won a first Scudetto after many decades in the past season.

You can not say it with their coach Luciano Spaletti because he just joined Napoli since 2021 - 2022 season. He only had two seasons with Napoli and in a second season with them, he won a Scudetto which is a first one in his coach career too.

When it comes to the incoming boss, Rudi Garcia, he will undoubtedly fall short of the outgoing manager's expectations. However, I believe that if Rudi Garcia is given more time than Luciano Spalleti, he will make good use of his position and provide solid results for the club and the supporters.

Will Rudi Garcia repeat the success of Spalleti?

I am not sure but he had some good seasons with AS Roma in the past and from their coach record, they have kind of similarities.

It's true that Cuadrado often throws tantrums and commits fouls when Juventus meet Inter Milan, one of which is a penalty prize for Juventus in crucial matches when the two teams meet is there a result of Cuadrado efforts. Coupled with the commotion on the field with Rumelu Lukaku which resulted in him being banned from playing for up to three matches, making Inter Milan fans really dislike him.

I think the Inter Milan Fans' rejection is reasonable because Cuadrado did everything for Juventus to beat Inter, but it will be interesting how the Fans will accept him as an Inter player. It will take more work to prove he is an intern now, despite his good times with Juventus.

Spalletti has done well to help Napoli to lift Italian league title last season, that is making Napoli players reign everywhere in the world because of his impart he impacted to his players that made them to break 30 years record before he quit from the team. Napoli will really miss spalletti in this season because he is a talented coach that know when to make changes that will bring good results at the end of the match and victory will definitely come through. I don't think Rudi Garcia have so much skills to make the team function like the way Spalletti kept the team function last season for Napoli to maintain first position in the Italian league competition through out to embraced the title.

Will Rudi Garcia repeat the success of Spalleti?

I am not sure but he had some good seasons with AS Roma in the past and from their coach record, they have kind of similarities.

Under coach Luciano Spalletti Napoli are the most interesting and fun team to watch, they have a great team and good players and it looks like they are playing for something more important than wins and trophies.

Now under the new coach Rudi Garcia, of course, there will be many challenges that he will have to face in carrying out his duties as Napoli coach. Because defending the Scudetto is much more difficult than chasing it, and I think it is not easy for Rudi Garcia to match Spalletti let alone to achieve success in the champions league. This is the biggest challenge for Rudi Garcia this season, so far he has always used a 4-3-3 formation. It will be interesting to wait to see if he can maintain Napoli's track record as a team that is active and looks to attack.

But there is an interesting thing from Spalletti by Rudi Garcia, when Rudi Garcia coached AS Roma he succeeded twice in bringing As Roma to be runners up in the league, but after As Roma's performance declined he was replaced by Luciano Spalletti and now the situation has reversed Rudi Garcia who replaced Luciano Spalletti at Napoli but Napoli's current condition is the defending champion of the Serie A league.

Ah right, I still remember that incident. several players got red cards at that time including Cuadrado. Last season he got into an argument on the pitch with Romelu Lukaku and he also punched goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. The bottom line is he's a pretty tough player. but the quality is actually quite good. So I think the Inter Milan fans need to cool off a bit and forget what happened last season. because after all Cuadrado is pretty good especially Inter Milan will get him as a free transfer player.

[Strongkored]

Serie A was clearly one of the strongest leagues in Europe before their overall league competitive performance began to decrease. We had AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, among others, who were all in excellent form and consistently dominated European competition. All of these teams are still performing well, and there are more on the way who have been excelling in European competitions. I'm not sure what caused the league's general performance to fall; might it be a shortage of quality players, as it was previously? But I love the zeal currently in the league, and they're doing better than ever, as evidenced by how most Italian clubs performed in European competitions they participated in last season.

One of the reasons is because the big clubs that are accustomed to dominating the Serie A competition are quite slow in updating their players, such as Inter and AC Milan, which have quite a lot of old players as well as Juventus, and Napoli managed to break this domination with a squad list of young players.
Clubs in Serie A do not have large financial capabilities like other clubs in other big leagues in Europe, especially for the English Premier League and also Laliga, thus making big clubs in Serie A more often bring in old players than those who are still young under 30 years old, but Serie A a few seasons ago became quite interesting because the competition for the title was quite tight except when Napoli won which could confirm it sooner, and what was also the cause was COVID-19 which affected club income so that these clubs did not quite aggressively buying players because the funds are limited.

Maybe Rudi Garcia will do better than Spalletti. However, time must be given for this. It is highly unlikely that Rudi Garcia will do something extraordinary next season and Napoli will win the title again. Because Rudi Garcia is not yet familiar with this team. And more importantly, several of Napoli's star players have left the team. The effect can certainly be seen in Napoli's performance. The likelihood of consistently good performances from Napoli next season is slim. Juventus or Inter Milan will probably dominate Serie A next season.

Luciano Spalletti was an outstanding coach that brought the best out of his players. When Gennaro Gattuso sign Victor Osimhen from Lille there was much criticism. The fans and some sports pundits felt Osimhen was too expensive for his worth or capacity. I don't know what Luciano did to the Nigerian striker that made him outstanding. Those critics have been silenced and he is now needed by almost all the big clubs in Europe. The coach turned the club into a force in Europe and made history. I also like Luciano's lifestyle and decisions. He is not driven by money that was why he insisted that he want to go on a break instead of remaining to get more money. Even with pressure from other clubs, he is finally having his deserved rest. When Zidane had his sabbatical, he came back better and stronger, I hope the 64years Italian will come back with more ideas.

[Velvet78]

Vlahovic deal is expected to be announced by PSG in the near future. They must be finishing the agreement and signing behind the scenes. This will push Juventus to sign a new striker to fill his place. That striker is probably going to be Lukaku for now. I assume Allegri would like to continue to adopt a formation with two strikers after he comes.

Lukaku is used to playing like that and he would be more useful in that way. He can play beside Milik mostly and sometimes with Kean as well. Inter officials got very angry after hearing about his negotiating with Juventus for more money. Inter is just a dream for Lukaku from now on.

maybe in the past, before Gennaro gattuso and Spalletti left Napoli, we didn't think too much about these two coach actually having almost the same mindset. I mean when Gennaro Gattuso manage to bring in Osimhen then him left Napoli and then Spalletti became the next coach who successfully in turning Osimhen into a strong player a few seasons ago.
so I say that these two great coaches who have been at Napoli have an advanced mindset towards their players and don't care about any criticism that will be received, but the aim of this great coach is to trained his players to be stronger.

Is it true that Vlahovic will go to PSG? I predicted yesterday he would go to Chelsea. But yeah, considering the financial condition of Juventus, which is currently in trouble. So I understand that PSG is a club that will certainly be the most daring to make a high bid. because PSG always doesn't mind money when they are really interested in signing a player.

Lukaku has surprisingly negotiated with Juventus. Even though Inter Milan fans seem to expect Lukaku to remain steadfast in waiting for Inter Milan to buy him from Chelsea. Everything became unexpected at this time. The transfer market this time is really full of drama and surprises. Only Napoli are not full of Drama other than about the new coach they have.

It's like there are advantages and disadvantages for Juventus. Their disadvantage is losing an attacker who always contributes fully to the club and the advantage is that they can get large amounts of money for one transfer. I think this is the right decision for Juventus and maybe they really need more funds so they can manage their finances and can also bring in other players.

Last week rumors of Lukaku wanting to join Juventus were also the reason for Vlahovic's transfer to PSG and at least Juventus have a pretty good replacement striker for next season. Allegri is known for his two attackers and he is a coach who still maintains the old formation pattern in the Italian competition.

An article from football italia has been explained how ronaldo's stament about serie a's death was not true.

https://football-italia.net/three-reasons-why-cristiano-ronaldo-is-wrong-about-serie-as-death/

I personally disagree with ronaldo's statement by calling serie was dead once he was coming to the juventus. There are so many reasons why serie was facing horrible situations. I think that ronaldo is quite selfish by thinking if serie a becomes popular again caused by him.
The fact that if ronaldo's effect was there and quite helping in reviving serie a but it doesn't mean if he has become the only factor that was making serie a to revive again.

So many people were also talkiing about this. I think that ronaldo shall not only think if he was the only player who can make everything happen. He shall stop to act like he was everything for serie a in the past.

a real stupid choice, a good coach and a calm person
I don't understand how they had to fight but it seems really surreal to me
throwing away a combination that works for me is a waste, but unfortunately not everyone has logic

We probably can't predict anything about Napoli this season with the new coach Rudi Garcia, it's not easy to adapt quickly for a coach by setting the strategy he wants let alone having to look at the quality of the players and match the strategy, I think maybe we'll see if there is a match Napoli in pre-season how will they maintain the quality of their game.

I'm not sure they will consistently play like last season, of course there will be differences in strategy and play, I know that it is clear that it is difficult to maintain what the previous coach Spalletti built to play this season. especially if there are players who also leave Napoli and are filled with new players, it takes more time for players to adapt on the field.

well yes I'm not saying that the new coach Garcia is poor or unprofessional, but by now the players knew what coach Spalletti's schemes were like, now we have to start over
really bad choice
of course is my opinion

the fans sometimes exaggerate, even a lot .. for example Gattuso had been rejected with a ready contract by an English team because the fans had hated him for no reason, a rather silly thing considering that Gattuso was a correct player and is a correct person even today

Serie A was clearly one of the strongest leagues in Europe before their overall league competitive performance began to decrease. We had AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus, among others, who were all in excellent form and consistently dominated European competition. All of these teams are still performing well, and there are more on the way who have been excelling in European competitions. I'm not sure what caused the league's general performance to fall; might it be a shortage of quality players, as it was previously? But I love the zeal currently in the league, and they're doing better than ever, as evidenced by how most Italian clubs performed in European competitions they participated in last season.

The decline was truly too much for the league, and unexpectedly even Juventus, the only team still in the running and a top performer in European events, has fallen short of expectations and is now battling to even finish in the top 4. If we discuss the reason for this decline, I will reply that it was probably just time; perhaps their time to rule has ended and new teams have gained the lead. Both Manchester United and Barcelona are now going through the same scenario. After a while, I think they might reclaim their position as the best team after adding some elite players to their rosters. These things do happen to teams, and when they lose their form, it takes them some time to fully recover. Take Liverpool as an example. In the past, they thrived and ruled both the domestic and European leagues. However, after a period of inactivity, they recovered under Kloop and began to challenge in all tournaments. Liverpool has returned to its former status as one of the finest teams in the world thanks to the addition of some reasonably priced players who perform above average.

Yes, we really understand how matches and clubs are in the EPL, therefore, this season Chelsea is really trying its best to strengthen the club and rise from its downturn. They need players who are not only talented and skilled but also fit and strong in the EPL. And Vlahovic is one of the perfect fit for that for Chelsea. But maybe this will not be as expected, because seeing the costs they have to incur for their salary which is considered quite high. hence maybe this will not continue as we think.

Its truly difficult to play and adapt in the premier league, we have seen talented players who struggle in the premier league and some even end up leaving because of the pressure and intensity in the league. Haveing a player like Vlahovic in the team is not a bad idea at all because he is strong and talented and with a new coach handling the team it will be easy to adapt to the coach tactics. Chelsea needs to try as many strikers as possible because you never know one that will succeed and turn things around for the team.
