Paul Pogba has tested positive for doping following today's test and this means his career is over. Paul Pogba will be banned from playing for a long time and of course he will have to accept this consequence because he has used doping. As a football player he must act professionally in dealing with this problem and must also be responsible for what he has done. Currently, Juventus is certainly also considering the next steps to take for Paul Pogba and it is very likely that Juventus will terminate his contract in the near future.

This is just sad coming a player who has done so much in both club and country, I get why he did what he did. Any one on his shoes that knows and loves to play football won't let injury kill his career, he doesn't want to be on the sidelines for the rest of his playing days.
Looking for a means to be completely free from injury can make such a person go extra miles to get that sorted out, I'm not supporting his actions but I just feel for him, because as it is I don't think Juventus would want to keep him with this act, I feel it is finished for Paul Pogba as a Juventus player, but they might pardon him if care isn't taken, well let's see how it will be like in the coming days.

Sometimes bad teams may end up beating good teams, but that doesn't mean that they suddenly became good teams themselves, they just got lucky, and could continue to play worse. That is the same with Lecce as well and Sassuolo game and should not be all that different.

I believe that we are going to end up with something that could benefit everyone for the betting reasons. I think the best way to bet on Italian league is to continue betting on the four good teams, sure they are not going to all win together at the same time every single week, but it would also not be uncommon for them to do that and if you win just once a month that would mean you are going to be in good profit as well. So people should not sway from what is the expected result.

Mourinho got what he needed to get tonight, since he got bad results with his team in the Serie A and had poor performance there, he and his was were under pressure and they needed to get a win and good result to make things better.
Today against Servette they won the game with a 4-0 result and players like Lukaku had good performances there and they didn't even use Dybala in this match.
However, after the game, Mourinho said he was not happy with the performance of the team at all.

 

I think Mourinho is happy, but he doesn’t want history to repeat itself when Roma first beat Empoli 7-0 and then lost 1-4 in the next game. There is a game with Cagliari ahead and I think that Roma is still under pressure even in this game - Cagliari is in last place in the standings and everyone expects only victory from Roma.

Roma was really unstable as you just said and they got good results in some games while in some other matches, they had in this season, Mourinho and his palyer had poor performances just as losing the game with a 4-1 result against Genoa while Roma had 1-1 result in the first half and I was hoping to see Mourinho changes everything and win the game but they lost it.

[Arenga pinnata]

It seems that the first two matches this week will both end in a draw. Because the opening match, namely Empoli and Udinese, also ended in a draw with a score of 0-0.
And currently Sassuolo is also competing against Lecce. And the score was still 1-1 even though the match was almost over. Those who bet on a draw in these two matches seem to be really lucky.
I personally didn't bet on these two matches and instead missed this match. because I'm really confused about making a choice in these two matches. Because everything is not in a consistent condition. so I don't want to take any risks this time.

I think the match that will be quite exciting this week is the Lazio vs Atalanta match. I'm curious about Lazio's performance. Will they return to the best game they had like last season. Or it will actually get worse by facing Atalanta, which is much more consistent than Lazio this season.

And currently Lazio's ranking position is really worrying. Lazio is currently ranked 16th. And this is indeed an unusual sight in the Serie A standings. Usually Lazio is always in the top 10. But currently Lazio is actually approaching the relegation zone.

Sometimes bad teams may end up beating good teams, but that doesn't mean that they suddenly became good teams themselves, they just got lucky, and could continue to play worse. That is the same with Lecce as well and Sassuolo game and should not be all that different.

It is true that weak teams could beat good ones at their weakest moments but this isn't always the case as we know.
Lecce 1 - 1 Sassuolo was quite normal result since Sassuolo is mid-table team and fluctuating from a match to another.
Empoli 0 - 0 Udinese is also a normal result, both teams are hovering around the relegation zone and will remain there for a long time apparently.

With this win, Mourinho and AS Roma are actually coming back. I know Servette are not a strong team and Mourinho admitted that Servette are weaker than all clubs in Serie A but a win is a win that is helpful for Roma to secure their position in Europa League group and helped them to continue a win streak.

Their next match in Serie A will be against Cagliari next two days and it will be a home away match for AS Roma. They need another win in Serie A to continue climbing up n the standing table. Perhaps, if they win and are luckily enough with bad results from above clubs, they can jump to the eighth position in standing table of Serie A.

A confirmation from a second test, with a positive result, is a confirmation for his doping and he will be banned a few years from football. At his age, it is the end for his career that was already destroyed by some injuries recent years.

I don't hope bad things for him but perhaps with this doping confirmation, it will be something good for him. He will no longer have to struggle to keep up his hope to continue his career as injuries already nearly beat him down recent months. He tried but after recovered, trained and came back in real matches, he got injuries again. Maybe without this doping shock, he will fail to come back again in this season.

Let's wait for final punishment announcement on Pogba but according to laws in Italy, no choice for him to come back after finishing a punishment against doping usage.

This is sad news on his side and will be very sad to his fans and family. This has tarnished his reputation in football despite having a very good career in football. In his international career, he has won 4 Serie A titles, 2 copa italia, 1 EFL cup, 1 Europa League title and a World Cup to his name. He has earned a lot in his career and I think he shouldn’t have engaged in such illegal act that has caused him this now. Juventus will definitely terminate his contract and this will be to end to his football career, it is such a shame and a sad end to a good career for him. I hope his case will serve as a lesson to other players who are engaging in such or planing to do so in the future.

Pogba has been confirmed positive for doping.
He will have 7 days to give a defense.

He will be probably banned for 1 year according to rumors.

I feel for him but at the same time rules are rules and he most be punished if the rumors are true. If this will happen , then I think his career is kinda over and maybe he will re-sign somewhere in Asia or Saudi Arabia if he has some luck because no big teams will want to deal with him after this incident .

I do not know why a player at a top level will commit such offense and they still want him to defend himself.
He will be banned but I'm not sure of who wants to have him in the squad, I look back to the season he had issues with Jose Mourinho and was called a virus. Indeed it displays how he has been even at Manchester United.

Tomorrow Genoa up against Ac Milan. Milan should do better after taking courage to hold Borrussia Dortmund down to a draw.

The final test and investigation completed, he's positive for testosterone doping for games, one of the awful breaking of rules, he would be banned for lengthy period of time. Juventus have also made drastic decision by caughting his salaries, he will no longer received wages from Bianconeri. Sometimes I wonder how these players do encompact sense of reasoning because one can see what will definitely ruin his football career and still go ahead and do it, inother to proof what exactly? Paul Pogba knows the rules of football and he's fully awared of the consequences of the offense. Banning him for one year wouldn't be enough for such offense?

Empoli 0 - 0 Udinese is also a normal result, both teams are hovering around the relegation zone and will remain there for a long time apparently.

The result of the Lecce vs Sassuolo match was as I expected. But many considered Lecce as the favorite, because Lecce was ahead in the points table. But Sassuolo is a very good team. And they played well enough against Lecce.  Lecce's performance was also  good. Several good attacks I have seen from  Lecce players. Lecce were close  to the relegation zone last season, but their  performance this season is quite strong. The team will probably be able to be in the top 10 of the points table.

Both Udinese  and Empoli teams are at the bottom of the points table. Udinese have only 5 points from  8 matches and Empoli have 4 points  from 8 matches. Two very weak teams. So I did not watch this match live. But I just watched the highlights of the match. EMpoli played very well in the home match. And if they can do such a performance in the upcoming matches, then the team can get out of the relegation zone.

Pogba really destroyed himself by using Doping which made him completely unable to provide a defense for the case he was experiencing. I think the case that happened could make his career even worse because it is possible that Juventus will take a stand to terminate his contract. Pogba, who was recruited by Juventus in the previous season, really didn't give enough good things to Juventus in his first season or this season because previously he had a long injury and also now he has a doping problem.

Well, if you look at the ongoing developments, of course at this time Pogba still has one hope of escaping his case if he is able to provide a defense within the next 7 days. Even though Pogba is still quite young, his career is sinking so quickly because of his use of illegal drug.

I do wonder if Lazio will be able to win in Serie A this weekend as they are winning in UCL because they had 2 consecutive games when they scored in last minute of extra time and managed to get points from both of them. Now , in Serie  A they really don't play like they play in UCL because they have 7 points in 7 games and placed on 16th overall so that is maybe one of the worst beginning season for Lazio in the last decade for sure ...maybe even more.

They will face Atalanta and this team is barely conceding goals so that makes the game even harder for Lazio...

This Lazio we see in this season is very far from what he saw from them in the last season when they were in second place the the table and they got even more points than Inter Milan and AC Milan because they are not performing well Lazio so far lost many points in Serie A against the teams were expecting them to win. This time Lazio should face Alatanta and unlike Lazio, Atalanta is in good form and I think it is worth it to bet on Atalanta instead of Lazio for this match.

Tomorrow Genoa up against Ac Milan. Milan should do better after taking courage to hold Borrussia Dortmund down to a draw.
..

Quite an interesting match between Genoa vs AC Milan because Genoa is a team that can put a lot of pressure on big teams this season. This season, Genoa was able to beat Lazio and Genoa also managed to play quite well when they held Napoli to a draw. And in the previous two matches, Genoa managed to beat Roma with a score of 4-1. Even so, Genoa's performance is relatively unstable when they face a team that is as strong as them. So in terms of those statistics, I think AC Milan has a pretty solid opponent this week.

However, the bookie will still choose AC Milan as a strong candidate to win this match. The bookie gives odds @ 1.91 for AC Milan in this match. I hope the bookie provides something bigger or changes because this match is really difficult to predict. Even so, I hope AC Milan is able to secure 3 points in this match. AC Milan has had an impressive pace in the last 3 matches because since being beaten by Inter Milan, AC Milan has been able to make a pretty good comeback, which they have done.

It's too sad for Pogba and Juventus, it seems the testosterone in his blood was the problem because there was some testosterone hormone in his blog and when this happened the player said this was maybe an accident and Juvesntso was hoping the same for their player because the testosterone was not high and using this hormone is not effective for a football palyer.
Allegri said he was not aware of anything and now this palyer is about to get suspended for a longer time

That is right they have not been impressive in the Champions League, but that is more in regards to their results than how they played. The game against Dortmund was worse, but it was still ok as we should not forget in away games most teams are struggling from time to time, but against Newcastle they played an excellent game without reaping the rewards in the end.

In Serie A there isn't much too negatively criticize after their clean victory of 2-0 against Lazio Roma. Three wins in a row now and I think they could try to improve their defense as that is what sets Inter Milan clearly apart from them until now. Inter Milan has had 5 clean sheets so far, which I think is something that can win them the title.

AC Milan is in performance that is neither bad nor very good in the UCL this season, as proven by the final results in the two matches they have played, versus Newcastle and Dortmund. In Serie A, Milan had to admit that Inter was still too tough for them to beat. Sassulo indirectly helped Milan by overcoming Inter in the sixth week. Overall, Milan is still relatively stable in these two competitions, what they need to try is to increase their creativity so they can score more goals.

I feel that Inter has appeared more impressive this season, and has a very solid defense line when compared to AC Milan. This is clearly visible in the statistics of both, the productivity of goals and the number of goals conceded proves this. Week eight will again test the strength and consistency of the two clubs, Inter versus Bologna, and Milan versus Genoa. The standings will change again, but they will not be able to displace Inter and Milan at the top of the standings.

Inter Milan displayed a more deadly instinct in comparison to AC Milan. But saying that AC Milan's performance is proven average by the results in the Champions League is a bit like too much of a shortcut. They have played so much better than Newcastle, the team that has just beaten PSG 4-1, in their home game and if you repeat that game with the same number of chances and everything else equal but a bit more luck, AC Milan will win that game for sure. They wanted it so badly and Newcastle could only try to keep the ball for as long as possible to prevent AC Milan from creating the next chance, but in the whole game Newcastle had only one shot on target whereas Milan had a shot every couple minutes. But I agree if we take both games together against Dortmund and Newcastle, then the performance was more like average.

Berardi wouldn't stop his brilliant performance in Sausuolo as he has scored a penalty on the 22nd minutes of the game. This has made Sausuolo to take the lead against their host Lecce. Sausuolo took possession of the match and dominated the game, Lecce don't have the power to stop the pressure that Sausuolo mounted on them. The first half is over and I hope that the host Lecce will be able to stand on their feet to equalise the goal. Sausuolo proved that they are more stronger that Lecce with the way that they played in the first half. There will be a better performance in the first half from both teams, and more goals to be scored.
Lecce 0-1 Sausuolo.

That's sad to see how sassuolo aws conceding 1 goal against lecce. Berrardi is such an underrated player at this moment. He was always helping sassuolo a lot to leave from the difficulties. It's very disappointed result to see both of clubs got draw as the final result.
Lecce was unable in defending its lead against lecce. Im not picking double chance lol. That's shitty result and i can't accept it. My bet was collapse. 

What a surprises to see draw was the final result from the match between lecce vs sassuolo. It's not the result that i wanted it.

But I agree if we take both games together against Dortmund and Newcastle, then the performance was more like average.

In the first game of Newcastle against Milan, there was some shyness of the English team from the very fact of returning to the Champions League after a twenty-year break, and the very next game against Paris Saint-Germain showed that Newcastle was slowly beginning to gain confidence and the necessary arrogance in the main club tournament of the Old World. Therefore, I am not sure that the second leg will also take place with a clear advantage of Milan. Also, let's not forget that Milan was the host team of the match. As for the competition with Inter, for me personally Inter looks like the favorite in this fight and for me it is even somewhat unexpected that Milan is also the leader. However, it is only the beginning of the season and only time will tell how justified Milan's claims to the Scudetto are.

I think this will really make it difficult for him to achieve the achievements he has now when he returns. Building a career in the world of football is very difficult and requires a long period of training and hard work. And with just one mistake a soccer athlete's career can be ruined. I personally still hope the best for Pogba. However, he is a talented player on the field. He is already 30 years old, but that should be his peak age to show all his prowess on the field. I think Juventus really always has problems every year. Whether it's from an internal or external perspective.
