Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[QueenVera]

If proven, it would be quite surprising that there are players who still try to do such stupid things because almost no player can pass a doping test if he does.
This case will only make his career end faster because getting a penalty of not playing for 1-4 years will only make him grow old off the field, and if he has finished his punishment, it is certain that only small clubs in leagues that are not too competitive will be willing to pay players with a lot of reputation. injuries and now doping, or it could be that he will announce his retirement from football, a player who has always been considered talented but his career has only been filled with injuries and that is quite detrimental for Juventus because since his presence he has been relatively on the bench, his contribution to the club was minimal.

Paul Pogba's career was gradually coming to an end due to his injury woes but case would make it more faster and i just hope Pogba doesn't spend 2 or more years without playing football because his form would decline drastically and that might be the end of his footballing career, this is a sad news for Juventus because they might enc up losing a talented player that's yet to create an impact for the team since they brought him back from Manchester United.
 Well according to the news it is said that he's been suspended due to the anti-doping offence and according to the Italian national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) him Pogba returned with a test of  elevated level of testosterone in one of their matches around August I think Udinese to be precise, this is a bad news for team that's hoping he returns soon from injury to strengthen their squad but is now suspended from playing.

Let's say about Paul Pogba again.

We know he got many injuries last two years but this time, it is more serious than injuries. He is positively tested with doping as his testosterone is higher than an accepted threshold for a first testing sample. Juventus and Pogba are waiting for result of a second testing sample.

If his doping case is confirmed by a second testing sample, he will face with a punishment of 2 years to 4 years ban. Will his career end in Juventus?

Pogba failed a Serie A doping test for Juventus

Players who use doping have clearly damaged the image of football in the eyes of the world and this will be an important lesson for Pogba so that he does not do the same thing again. However, the impact of the punishment is also very serious and as you said, being banned from playing for up to 4 years feels like ending his career immediately right now. Moreover, with frequent injuries, I think Pogba is finished and it is unlikely he will play football again. Juventus will certainly immediately decide regarding Pogba's future after the results of the second sample come out. I didn't expect the end of Pogba's career to be like this and if he hadn't had so many injuries, perhaps he would still be in top condition with Juventus.

Juventus may also try to take a decisive action toward him. It has been explained in romano's tweet if there will be an official statement released regarding what will be the next step to be taken by juventus.

Juventus statement confirm they’ve now received formal communication from the  National Anti-Doping tribunal on Paul Pogba situation ⚪️⚫️⚠️
“Pogba has been suspended for anti-doping offense — the club will consider how to act on next steps of the process”, statement reports.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1701299076556308537

There may be some possibilities to happen.

1. Pogba will be terminated by juventus
2. Pogba stay in the club but this will be actualy destroying the image owned by the club.

I wonder what's gonna be the final decision from juventus regarding him. It seemed to me if juventus may try to terminate him from the club. It's useless to keep him as he will be banned to play around 1-4 years depending on the result from his case.

Pogba is facing another horrible situation after his injury prone. I remember when mourinho said about his attitude and it has proven.

Napoli was just facing a promoted team after it had been relegated in the previous seasons. There's no doubt if napoli is gonna win the game against genoa. Even though napoli was always winning with small margin against genoa. Napoli won 3-0 against genoa in the last match.
.

Although I am not entirely certain if the score will exceed 2.5, I am feeling quite confident in my choice of Napoli to win the game, as they are currently in a very strong position. I can see that from winstreak last season which was leading the serie a with very big gap to the second place which was filled by lazio.
85% napoli win the game. Genoa looked like an easy opponent to be beaten by napoli soon.

Genoa is a small team and can't be compared to Napoli who are the current title holders, they've got more top talents in the squad depth which makes them favorites to win the match, however a 3-0 win would be fair enough because I'm very sure Victor Osimhen would be coming back from the break with a good form and might score a goal or more making it easy for them to get a 2.5 goal winning margin against Genoa.
 Luis Garcia was not really happy about the lose to Lazio and would use the match against Genoa to make up for their lose,grab 3points with much goals as possible, they're still very strong title contenders and would fight very hard to retain there title, so losing any match is not in the agenda easily their next against Genoa that they could easily win with their second XI, I feel sorry Genoa keeper because he should be ready to receive lots of shot from Victor Osimhen, lol

It can't be compared at all, also because Genoa comes from Serie B. Their goal this year is definitely to save themselves, then the rest is all fat dripping off.
We'll see if they defend well or get overwhelmed.
and yes again, Napoli now is angry

Napoli has always had good result againsts genoa in the previous matches.

Although I am not entirely certain if the score will exceed 2.5, I am feeling quite confident in my choice of Napoli to win the game, as they are currently in a very strong position. I can see that from winstreak last season which was leading the serie a with very big gap to the second place which was filled by lazio.
85% napoli win the game. Genoa looked like an easy opponent to be beaten by napoli soon.

Looking at Napoli's current condition, I think this could be an easy odds back for them because looking at the h2h and statistics of the 2 clubs at this time it is clear that Napoli are the favorites in this match.
Genoa is a club with a pretty good defense even though the first match they had to be slaughtered by Filrentina but in the last 2 matches they have changed a little and are better in defense, it's just that they also have poor finishing if you look at the beginning of this season the match Genoa made from 3 matches only 2 goals they managed to create and this is clearly an advantage for Napoli.

Last week's defeat will definitely be a lesson for Rudi Garcia and must be a spirit of encouragement to be able to win 3 points to keep their position in the standings.
I think a score of more than 2 goals is still possible in this match and an absolute victory belongs to Napoli.

The Geona team is pretty weak in comparison I know. Out of the three matches they have lost two matches, and won one match. Importantly, Geona's only win came against Lazio.
For this reason I would say Napoli should not take the Geona team lightly. Geona's defense is strong. And no doubt they will play defensively against the big teams. If Geona manages to score the first goal of the match, it will be much more difficult for Napoli to win this match. Because, after scoring the first goal, all 10 players of Geona will play the role of defender. And it is much more difficult to score against a team that plays a completely defensive strategy.

Very, very agree with you. In fact, we have to look at the facts on the field about Genoa, who even had difficulty in controlling every match they have played in the first 3 matches this season. And from the points scored, it is clear that Genoa's performance is not good enough. They only have 1 win and 2 losses. Which means they have only collected 3 points. Meanwhile, Napoli has 2 wins and 1 defeat, which means they have 6 points. Another difference is that Napoli can always control every match they face. This is different from Genoa, which can only continue to survive and does not yet have the courage to dominate the match. And yeah Napoli are definitely in red hot mode. Because Napoli definitely doesn't want to experience defeat again.

Paul Pogba is threatened with being suspended from playing football. This is because Pogba has tested positive for using doping. This case is still in the process of further investigation, for his suspension, Pogba maybe face suspension of between 1 - 4 years. If Pogba being suspended for more than 1 year, I think Juventus can cancel or termintae the contract with Pogba. I don't know whether this is an advantage for Juventus or the opposite. Rarely plays due to injury, now potentially got suspension. Juventus is suffering from bringing in Pogba again.

Pogba is one of the greatest playmakers in the world. I was very surprised when I heard this news. Will his fate be the same as Balotelli, who disappeared from the ranks of the best strikers in the world? But I think Pogba is a good person. I've never heard of Pogba going to a nightclub or having fun with girls. I remember their extraordinary performance at the 2018 World Cup and it was one of the best games a Playmaker could show.

I'm wondering if some football players are cursed these days because so many of them engage in activities that will damage their careers. The first case involves Antony at Manchester United, and it's still pending because he also suspended his career until further notice. The second one involves Pogba. I believe that these days' football players are doing too much, and that is what is affecting them. Pogba's contract will be terminated by Juventus if he is suspended for a year, in my opinion, as they will not want anything to harm the team's performance.

Additionally, I think Juventus has a lot of players who can relate to his position because even before he was absent, the team's performance continued to be normal. However, I still pray that this incident does not result in a year-long suspension because it will seriously harm Pogba's career. In addition, as of right now, Pogba hasn't won many trophies and is still a young player because he hasn't reached Ronaldo's age. It would be good  if juventus take it easy on him because he is still the team player.

He is like a box to box midfielder, not like a play maker. Pogba has high ego like Balotelli but he fortunately got more success than Balotelli because he played for Juventus in the past, won Scudetto with them, played for France with their golden team and won World Cup 2018 with his national team.

Now, his luckiness is over when his body is no longer good, get more injuries and even have problems with doping. I agree with you that Pogba is not too professionally take care of his body and fitness, like Balotelli. If he was not in a strong team like Juventus or France, he is nothing. In Manchester United, he failed to bring them to Premier League trophy or Champions League.

Being a box-to-box midfielder or play maker, he must play carefully because he is in the midfield and very vulnerable to counter attacking of opponents but he has never kept it in his mind. It's signal of his unprofessional.

Noooooooo

what did he do!? I didnt expect this from Pogba. There is a drop in performance due to age, but he was still a great player because he had to resort to doping. Thus he totally destroyed his career

Doping = end of all

[execijutiere]

Genoa transferred two players from Turkey to Karagümrük.The first one is stopper Davide Biraschi who was transferred completely free of charge.I think the team decided that he should not play in the Italian league anymore because of his age.Secondly, Turkish player Güven yalçın was loaned to Karagümrük.Karagümrük used the striker transfer in favor of a young and talented player.Since he has played for Beşiktaş before, he will not have any problems in adapting to the league because he is a player who knows the league.

Even though Pogba was the most expensive football player in the world in 2016, at that time Paul Pogba was bought by Man United from Juventus for 105 million euros, making Pogba break the transfer record for the most expensive football player at that time. But unfortunately Pogba was injured more often which made his performance decline at Man United until he finally returned to Juventus, but at Juventus Pogba also went back and forth to the treatment room more often than contributing to the team on the field.

It's a shame about the problems that have happened to Pogba, he has just recovered from injury and injury again, even though Juventus still really needs his services. But with the problems that befell him due to positive doping he would spend four years unable to play football. In my opinion, it's better if he just retires because his scoring period is over and he won't be able to use his services again by Juventus, even if he sells it, no one will necessarily want to buy him because his physique is no longer professional.

Pogba's attitude was never changed. I thought that he has been changing his attitude since jose was making complaint towards his attitude. Pogba is also a troublesome person. I agreed if you called him the same as ballotelli.
Hold up, you're telling me Pogba didn't hit up the club scene? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9759945/Paul-Pogba-Ronaldinho-hang-Miami-nightclub.html

Pogba's attitude is as bad as ballotelli. I am pondering what course of action will be pursued with regards to him. kick or keep?

Adding four years to his age now, I believe he will turn 34. Juventus may even terminate his contract because there is no way they can continue to be paying him without contributing nothing for the club with this offense he has tested positive for using doping. However, Pogba continued to suffer from injuries and the club decided to keep him because he was one of the major players in the club. Indeed, considering his current suspension and his advanced age, I doubt the team will not continue to keep him anymore. He might be using doping to make himself stronger and less capable of injuries, in my opinion. Every club will be upset if a player keeps getting injuries while receiving payment for services without been performed to the team.

Accessing this game for a week now if Napoli has a good chance to win but they do not look favourable to win that game.
As a team they do not look agile like they did last season they do not look strong to defend the league in the Seria A.
Genoa will have to score a single goal in the game.

We should put aside the fact that Napoli hasn't performed as well as we had hoped for them to this season; in my point of view, it's still too early for the players to find their best form. Anyway, the striker for Napoli has continued to put in strong performances, and I believe he can help his team defeat Genoa. I don't believe Napoli will have much trouble winning the game.

[wmaurik]

I don't think, it will going to be a tough match between Genoa vs Napoli because Napoli will not allow them to use home advantage to defeat them because this match will determine who will lead the match in this season. Based on what Napoli players are displaying in their various national teams show that their players will definitely do something that will make them to embrace three points from Genoa home to make their coach happy. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli are among the teams that is toping the Italian league table, and this weekend matches will determine how prepare all those teams prepared to go far in this season, because there will  be a surprise victory among this teams that will make some to drop points.

The four teams you mentioned could indeed be candidates for the title race this season in Serie A and Napoli will clearly not waste their opportunity at home to Genoa. Because Napoli really wants full points in this match in order to be able to compete with the three other teams who are always Napoli's strongest rivals every season. I am also more confident that Napoli will try to win with a lot of scores at home to Genoa in order to show their rivals that they are still strong enough to continue to be candidates for champions this season.

Injuries have made many top players spend very long time on the bench and forced many to early retirement, recently Eden Hazard. Pogba should have long decided to retire and save himself the injuries, the pressure to want to return to top performance and then this embarrassment to his name now. He was selected for testing even though he did not play in the game, and he failed the test. He will be too old for any club to want him by the time he returns from the long ban he will serve as punishment for this crime.

Both players can still be said to be young players who are still productive but yes, even if Genoa let them go then I think Genoa has its judgment too. Therefore, I think it doesn't matter too much because maybe, they can't play well in a more difficult competition like in this Serie A. Moreover, Genoa this season is a promotion team and of course, Genoa will only keep players who have a better quality level. Therefore, at least at this moment Genoa is also in 14th place in the Serie A standings with one win, as a promotion team of course, results like that can be a good start for Genoa.

Injuries is the major challenges most elite players are facing currently. When a player sustains a crucial injury, they decline in their game performance, having zero contributions on the pitch against their opponent. Eden Hazard is exactly one illustration of injured players that never bounced back to their peak, instead alot of things went wrong and he suffered heavily till this present day. He's a free agent this summer and have rejected couples of bids from Saudi sides and other clubs. He already announced his retirement from international games and club is his next target. In the direction of Paul Pogba, he's on the verge of facing 1-4 years ban after controversies of the Frenchman using dope for actual league games.

We know he got many injuries last two years but this time, it is more serious than injuries. He is positively tested with doping as his testosterone is higher than an accepted threshold for a first testing sample. Juventus and Pogba are waiting for result of a second testing sample.

If his doping case is confirmed by a second testing sample, he will face with a punishment of 2 years to 4 years ban. Will his career end in Juventus?

Pogba failed a Serie A doping test for Juventus

Adding four years to Paul Pogba's age will make him 34 years old by then; however, unlike British or European players, African players do not have the quality to play beyond 30 years old; this could be due to their nature or the type of food they eat; nonetheless, Pogba's football career has already come to an end because if the test result is the same as the first one, that two to four years will be the end of his career after he has suffered injuries.

After all, he has had an incredible football career, with trophies including the World Cup and other key trophies throughout the world. If his career was cut short, I wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits.
