Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[sana54210]

I think that after Mourinho took charge of the Roma team, a lot of progress has been seen and now Roma are one of the teams that is highly calculated in Serie A, despite their failure to enter the top 4 positions, this team has developed much better.
I see very many shortcomings in this team and Mourinho was forced to do the best with the squad as it is because this team did not spend big money to recruit players and it must be admitted that with a squad that is what Mourinho is able to make the Roma team respected by his opponents .
So far Roma are very lucky to have a coach like Mourinho, he is a very qualified coach.

So many comments signing Mourinho praises here but out here not everyone thinks highly of the man especially younger football fans. These younger football fans do not see the several championships he has won as any big deal because they feel it is a league that no one cares about, like the UEFA Europa Conference League.  Despite the positive relationship between his managerial skill and Roma's success, they younger football fans still have a problem with him and his attitude. One particular example that they cited was the video of him that surface online showing where he attacked referee Taylor in car park. They feel that it whatever happens on the pitch, at the end of the day its just that, football. A sport where you will always have a bit of luck or bad luck and he shouldn't have to carry that bitterness outside of the stadium.

Younger ones do not remember the decade long period where he managed Porto, Inter, Chelsea and Real Madrid. When he was on a roll like that and improved the teams so much and won UCL titles with them and looked like he was doing amazing, that was long time ago now of course but the ones who clearly remember those periods would tell the same thing, he was the best manager of that period.

Of course he then started to be not that great, even when given great teams he started to be bad, and that resulted with him going as low as Roma now, whereas his rivals like Pep ended up getting treble last year. Do not consider Pep manages City and that's why he is better, Mourinho had some great teams and failed, that's why he is not managing great teams nowadays.

Lautaro Martinez still waiting contract extension from Inter and he believe Inter still working on it and Martinez is Inter top scorer last season and although he got several offers from other clubs but he has showed his commitment and loyality with Inter and the latest is Martinez was refuse Arabian club although they were offering huge money but it doesn't make him tempted to move because Martinez was happy at Inter and he want to staying much longer

~snip~

Of course, it is very rare for us to meet a player with high loyalty when the onslaught of abundant money is offered by the Saudi league team and this is the right decision if Lautaro Martinez wants to stay at Inter. It must be admitted that the role of Lautaro Martinez, who sometimes becomes the second captain on the field, can make his colleagues more motivated and he is very excited in all the matches that require him to score more goals for the Inter win. I hope that Inter will give me a contract extension of quite a long duration and that would really appreciate Lautaro Martinez's loyalty to the club.

From the reports that he rejected the offer to join a Saudi Arabian League who tabled a very lucrative offer for the Argentine, Lautaro Martinez has shown how much he loves Inter Milan and his determination to defend the badge of the club which is very rare in modern day footballers who are mostly playing for the financial returns instead of the passion for football.
Inter Milan's management as a matter of urgency should try and meet the player's demands in extending his contract with the the club.

however Lautaro Martinez's new contract with Inter has yet to be signed. but Lautaro Martinez has also made a statement that he will stay at Inter this season. and Inter also don't want to lose the players who helped them play so well last season.
now the two just had to wait and study the new contract. Of course there will be several offers for players in the new season who are willing to stay at the club after a tempting offer from Arab came.

Good you are bringing this up, kudos. It is interesting because you are actually right that it makes things complicated when coaches behave in an arrogant way based on success they had far back in the past. It is basically bad to behave in an arrogant way, but Mourinho takes it to the next level from time to time, which I agree is bad. Some will like it because they find it entertaining to watch, but they are probably the people who also like to watch Youtube videos where other people get bullied.

Despite not clinching a top four finish, Mourinho time at Roma has brought the squad improvement and respect. Due to the club lack of significant investment in new players, he was able to succeed with the roster at his disposal. Their success has been significantly influenced by his coaching ability. His accomplishments in various leagues, in the opinion of some younger football fans are nonetheless insignificant. They criticise his attitude as well, pointing to instances like the one with referee Taylor. They view football as merely a game and they believe that any animosity should stay on the pitch. Despite these divergent viewpoints, Mourinho influence on Roma and the respect he enjoys in the footballing community cannot be disputed.

I think this is a contract renewal step regarding Lautaro Martinez salary increase, along with his good performance and new responsibility as captain of Inter Milan next season. It is possible that without a raise Martinez will leave this summer for the SPL, and will receive ten times as much as Inter are currently offering.

One way for Inzaghi to keep his players at the club is to offer a new contract for the player from Argentina.

If Lautaro Martinez really rejected the offer of the Saudi League club, then Lautaro Martinez should not demand Inter to be able to increase his salary with a large salary. Lol! Because if Lautaro Martinez refuses an offer with a large salary from a Saudi league club, then that means Lautaro Martinez has high loyalty to Inter. Therefore, by having high loyalty to the club, Lautaro Martinez should not question the salary he received at Inter. Because for me, the reason Lautaro Martinez refused the offer of the Saudi league club was not about money, but about his young age which was certainly not the time for Lautaro Martinez to leave Europe.

That's true and I totally agree, the character he has had a huge impact on the club and the player as a whole. Even though he has a slightly different approach when compared to other coaches, Morinho deserves to be called "The Special One". Twice winning the European Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan made him highly respected, remembering when they won the UCL the two clubs coached by Mourinho were not superior on paper and it was great to be able to come out as champions.

AS Roma are very lucky with Mourinho existence, if only Mourinho gets enough budget to shop for players. It is certain that Roma can easily top the Serie A standings until the end of the season, his prestige at the club is as strong as Pep Guardiola at Man City.

Lautaro Martinez current age is 25 years not too old anyway, if he want to stay at Inter Milan I think it makes sense, at least to get a lot of achievements. But I think also you're right, there is a possibility Lautaro Martinez will leave to the Saudi League next season, considering him salary at there is very tempting. If inter doesn't want to lose that players, so yes Inter must be renewal Lautaro Martinez contract with a salary increase.

There is no doubt that Inter milan will keep Lautaro Martinez and choose to increase his wages rather than see him move to another club and really hurts to lose this quality players.
Lautaro Martinez also doesnt really want to leave Inter Milan because he want his career history to win title in the champions league and european leagues so that it will increase the quality of transfer price in the future and by joining Inter Milan this can provide an opportunity to go to the champions league final. despite failing last season.
For me Lautaro Martinez had a very good talent last season and certainly made other club look at him for contract with a very high offer as you said and now Lautaro Martinez is a mainstay player at this club who can give him the opportunity to go to the champions league for get trophies

Juventus is a team that is able to provide strong competition in every season in the top 4. For next season, it is hoped that Juventus will come back strong after failing last season so that we can enjoy more competitive competition next season. The management of Juventus for the time being has succeeded in recruiting 9 new players in this transfer window which can add strength to them next season. To compete in the top three doesn't seem like a difficult thing for juventus because in terms of the strength and quality of their players, i think juventus deserves to be included in the ranks of the teams that will win the scudetto.

The failure that Juventus got was due to the problem of deducting points and that was not based on the inconsistent poor performance they showed last season. Getting some additional players for next season is a good step to make competition in the race for the top five or three in the standings. Juventus will again show consistency next season and I'm sure they will be able to give positive results and maybe they will even be included in one of the candidates for the Scudetto next season.

Allegri is not quite satisfied with the signing that has been carried out by the Juventus management, because he feels that there are still gaps that must be fixed immediately in this transfer window. I think Allegri is looking for a striker who has pure goalscoring skills to be able to bring back their aggressiveness up front. Previously vlahovic was not in his best form last season but he is expected to contribute more to score a lot of goals in the next season.

So far it's not only Juventus that have had trouble finding a middle striker and there are also many other teams that haven't managed to get the striker they want. Even some rumors that I saw that they intend to sell Vlahovic and want to recruit Beto, but so far there is no certainty about the clarity. In the test match against AC Mila Vlahovic was not included in the line-ups due to injury and instead Allegri put Moise Kean and Federico Chiesa up front.

Because for me, the reason Lautaro Martinez refused the offer of the Saudi league club was not about money, but about his young age which was certainly not the time for Lautaro Martinez to leave Europe.

I think the biggest thing is that if he has actually rejected the offer from the Saudi league, Inter already know that they do not have to increase the salary. Because they know that he’s going to stay in the club. so I don’t think asking for more money is going to work out in his favour. The best thing he can do is tell the club that he is showing great loyalty to the club. So the least the club can do is give him a little more salary. And after that they can come to a conclusion about what the salary is going to be. but if he is thinking he is on top of the situation here, he is sadly mistaken.

No I mean a different concept for a Super League from a founder outside of Europe. Last time there were a few European clubs that wanted to found a Super League that would have been in competition with the UEFA Champions League. I understand when the UEFA says that founding a competing association while being a member of the UEFA will not go without consequences.

But what happens when the new Super League does originate from within Europe, but from an association outside Europe that is not associated with the UEFA whatsoever? I am not into the statutes of the UEFA association and whether it is fixed that clubs will be sanction if they join an association that is founded outside of Europe, but this would be a case study that is worth looking into because the Saudi investors aren't fooling around. I suppose everyone agrees that this is not about buying Ronaldo and Benzema and that's it.

I brought this up because I said that clubs like Juventus have some power as well as the UEFA raises incentives for clubs to consider other options when the UEFA is too hard with their decisions.

I think FIFA and UEFA have full authority over the clubs under their regulation, I assume on the basis of the withdrawal of the clubs from the EPL from the plans to create a Super League. The impact and risks for the clubs taking part in the super league competition are enormous, as well as the risks for their players as well. That is why they withdrew from the plan to establish the super league.

On the other hand, it seems that clubs under UEFA are also unable to participate in or take part in competitions outside of Europe. Although it seems that investors from the SPL can be speculated to create a new league and design a format for clubs from Europe to take part in the competition.

Withdrawal from the EPL? What are you referring to here? The question remains an unanswered for now and I guess it is cumbersome to go through those statutes and find out what they grey areas are and what the legal no-gos are. There will be regulations for clubs breaking out of the reigning associations and build their own competitions, but that is what I would expect from a legal framework of the UEFA.

If the financial incentive is high enough, it could soon be the clubs instead of the single players wich will consider competing international tournaments if they are allowed to as per the rules or if a noteworthy number of clubs agrees on discussing any alternatives further.

Juventus Turin is still bound to decisions that are yet to be made by Barcelona and Madrid about the Super League. How they are intertwined there and what the dependencies are, I don't understand that, but Juventus Turin revoking their decision to not take part in this Super League format does not mean that they won't take part in any other Super League format.

If inter doesn't want to lose that players, so yes Inter must be renewal Lautaro Martinez contract with a salary increase.

Lautaro probably wouldn't go to the Saudi Arabian league at a young age. There is a lot of money in the Saudi Arabian league, but for some players money alone is not a factor. I don't know if Martinez will accept Inter again. It will be good for his career if Martinez stays at Inter, but he has a chance to make big money if he goes to Saudi Arabia. The choice is entirely Martinez's.

Napoli are making a fresh start with Rudi Garcia as of this season. Napoli and the fans hoped Spalletti to stay but he didn't think the same. He didn't have any energy left to maintain this anymore according to his statement and that was why he quit his job. Napoli will need to focus on keeping their squad quality as near as possible to the last season now.

On one hand Rudi Garcia had better establish a strong bond with the squad also. Maybe his game plan is very similar to Spalletti and he has some good Serie A experience with Roma in the past. However this isn't enough to maintain success with Napoli.

He will have a bigger responsibility now. Maybe Napoli aren't a team that become champions often in this league. But after this big improvement they will be expected to be in the title race again.

Another game for intermilan gonna come soon. Intermilan will face PSG. It will become the right time to test intermilan's new squad. We do know that if PSG was also still building its squad again. No chance for intermilan to lose against PSG.
Inter will be also using its new striker marcus thuram to be combined with lautaro martinez.  It will be very interesting to watch the combination between thuram - martinez. It's also very interesting to see how PSG will able to answer a challenge that will come from intermilan.

I expect galtier to use the same squad as the previous match. There will be no rotations gonna happen in the lineup of PSG. It's caused by PSG is trying to get its chemistry back again between any players on its club.
This gonna be a debut for marcus thuram in intermilan after he has signed to replace lukaku's position.

The odds are not high enough to make me bet on this game and since that's a friendly match everything is possible between these two teams there is even a chance for one team to don't take this game seriously, but still, I think the chance for Inter Milan to win this game in much higher than PSG because unlike PSG they were more stable and they didn't make too many changes in their teams while PSG even using a new coach in the next season.

Psg performance in this pre-season match was not very satisfying because they lost against Osaka. Although some people think that this pre-season match is a match that is not too serious, but in another context, Luis Enrique certainly failed to develop a good strategy in that game. It seems that some of the new players psg are still having difficulty adapting to Luis Enrique tactics.

For later odds I think Inter Milan can be the best choice to bet on them. I think the inter milan squad is very well organized for the games they have played. However, I would like to see a deadly duo presented by Inter Milan where Inzaghi can play Thuram earlier to see their duel with Martinez in the match against PSG.

Which is a very stupid thing, you can find better trainers around for a much better price.
I always go for efficiency if I can, and hiring this guy here as a coach isn't efficient at all, it's just a pointless waste.
With this I'm not saying it's a donkey, I'm just saying it's too expensive for what it's worth.

Yes yes, I share that point of view although I wonder whether you mostly base your conclusion or opinion on the number of titles he (hasn't) won recently or whether you also had a look at training methods or are you referring to his general behavior?

For me it is too much talk and I doubt that his training is aiming at improving the skill level. He has always been about how to destroy the opponents' game rather than being focused on outplaying the opponent by being on a higher level. I admit that I dislike that style and I can't say I have an objectively formed opinion on his training methods specifically.

He will have a bigger responsibility now. Maybe Napoli aren't a team that become champions often in this league. But after this big improvement they will be expected to be in the title race again.

Rudin Garcia's strategy will ensure that Napoli performs well next season because he is a very good coach and we know that he had no issues with the team he left. Changing a coach will not have a significant impact on a team because even if the coach didn't plan something well, if the squad performs well, they will undoubtedly be winning all of their games. Spalleti also understands that Rudi Garcia is the ideal coach for the team, which is why he doesn't want to continue, I believe he noticed something positive about Rudi Garcia. The only way a team can ever be ideal is if the squad's performance keeps rising, at which point they will always have a chance to win the Serie A tittle and qualify for the Champions League.

I heard a rumour about Osimhen today, according to which Saudi Arabia offered Napoli 140 million to buy Osimhen, but Napoli declined, saying they should raise the sum to 150 million before doing so. If this rumour is accurate, I believe Napoli will face significant challenges in the upcoming season of the league because they will always remember Osimhen and regret selling him. Even though I am aware that money can buy everything, sometimes it is wise to consider your options. If Napoli sells Osimhen, I don't think they will ever find another player quite like him, and they will drop to a lower division because Osimhen is the only one capable of handling a striker position in Napoli.

Chelsea started to be interested in Vlahovic once again. There are still a few days to go for the last date Juventus have given for his sale - August 4. Chelsea had better act quick about it while there are still no offers coming from Real Madrid or PSG side for him. Juventus will go for Lukaku directly if Vlahovic is sold. I know that Lukaku's priority was Inter but there is no chance left to join them for him from now on. He should just act smart and sign for Juventus in this case.

Because clearly he doesn't have a future at Chelsea. The best thing to do is to return to Italy or sign for a Saudi team.

Lukaku's future is very uncertain at Chelsea, of course I think Pochettino is more likely to put a lot of faith in another striker instead of Lukaku. It is clear that Lukaku will have to consider alternative options if he is to secure a place in the first-team squad, which he will definitely get if he joins another team as interested as Juventus.

So far Lukaku still wants to play for Inter, but Inter's plans to make him permanent have ultimately failed so Lukaku returns to Chelsea's lap for the time being. Lukaku should move to another team, it will help him get the minutes he deserves next season instead of staying at Chelsea.
