second match yesterday for Thiago Motta's Juventus and nothing stratospheric was seen, on the contrary.

During the whole match, even if played with many secondary players, it was not possible to see the coach's new idea.
with only 2 weeks to go before the start of the season and with 1/3 of the team still to go, it will be a real miracle to start competitively for the final victory.

Many players are leaving, a list of at least 5 players.
Many other players are waiting for these releases to be able to arrive in Turin.
At least 14 market operations between entries and exits are expected but not confirmed in the next 3 following weeks.

Friendlies are always matches to be given little importance, they only serve to inform the players, obviously it is not nice to see a team created to win make bad figures in preseason matches. The friendlies that will give more insights and information are the ones that will be played just before the start of the championship, there we could see if the new coach is doing a good job or not. However, I have read that they have put Federico Chiesa off the roster, but I didn't quite understand why. Strange that they want to sell their best player.

In the two pre-season matches that Juventus has played, there hasn't been anything extraordinary that we can see from Thiago Motta's team. Well it still looks mediocre. I could even say that Juventus' back line doesn't look good. So I feel that Thiago Motta still has a lot of work to do until the season actually starts. Maybe when the season starts we will see the real strategy that Motta will use for Juventus. In pre-season matches this coach is only trying to assess things and may not care about the results of winning or losing. But if at the start of the season Juventus still doesn't show anything good then that means when the season starts it won't be much different from pre-season. namely Juventus have not found their best performance.

In addition, especially for club games, friendlies are there just to get the teams ready for what they have ahead especially if it's pre season games like that which has been played by most teams recently, so knowing how much it's of a lesser importance, coaches usually use it to rather fine-tune their tactics and strategies rather than just playing without essence and that's why in some cases coaches don't use their key players for games as this they rather use other available players.

AC Milan appeared quite impressive in their friendly matches this season because in the two matches they played they managed to win.
To be able to beat Real Madrid is certainly not an easy matter because the number one team in Laliga has quite strong strength with many quality players at their disposal, but this can be conquered by the neat play implemented by Paulo Fonseca.
The match against Manchester City was also the same where Colombo et al managed to turn things around and managed to win the match. In the next match, Fonseca's team will face Barcelona and I hope that AC Milan can also come out as winners in the friendly match which will be held M&T stadium.

[TelolettOm]

At least, the presence of Artem Dovbyk and Matias Soulé in Roma is indeed in accordance with the needs of the club, and moreover, both players really want to be at the club. ....

I think Roma will do better this season because of their new players like Dovbyk and Soulé. They fit well with team and want to win. Dovbyk played really well at Girona last season so that is good sign. Roma has good team and stable midfield so they have good chance of making it to the Champions League. It won't be easy because many teams in Serie A are strong, but I think Roma can do it with de Rossi leading them. He knows the team well and can help them play their best.

In theory, AS Roma should be much stronger than when Rossi first became Roma coach.
The reasons are:
- Rossi has been Roma's coach for several months, so he must have begun to understand the gaps in Roma, so he can prepare and improve strategies much more readily
- de Rossi has also begun to understand and get the green light to manage the team from the beginning, so he has the opportunity to sign the players he wants
- Signing Dovbyk and Soulé are Roma's top signings this time for the attacking lines
- Several Roma signings are also in the middle and back lineups, so they are indeed quite focused on increasing the team's strength even with a small budget.

Yeah, it must be admitted that AC Milan played well in this preseason but that doesn't mean they are a different team this season I believe it was just luck in a friendly match. If AC Milan can play this well then it will be good for the competition in Serie A at least as a main competitor for Inter Milan, we'll see when the new season starts whether AC Milan can play like this and be consistent. For next season, Inter Milan is still the favorite for the title I haven't seen any other team that can compete with them. Indeed, Juventus and AS Roma are building their squads by bringing in several new players but so far it's not enough imo, unless there is a surprise before the transfer window closes.

The positive results should be repeated in Serie A, not only in the pre-season tour, the change of manager seems to have made Milan more enthusiastic. Indeed, it is not easy to beat clubs of the caliber of Real Madrid and Manchester City even though in a friendly match, the victory can make Milan players more confident. The next match against Barcelona seems not to be much different, at least Milan can target a draw. If you look at the strength that Milan currently has, they will most likely be able to compete with Inter Milan next season. Last season Milan was quite far behind Inter Milan, the presence of experienced players like Moratta can help improve their performance next season. The latest news is that Milan getting closer to reaching an agreement with Tammy Abraham, clearly this is a good step to increase their attack power after the departure of Olivier Giroud.

These results are impressive as about less than one month before a start of new season, big clubs are doing their last tests, trials to maximize their preparation for a new season. Winning against big clubs at this stage somewhat show quality and competitiveness of AC Milan. It's good signal for their coming season in Serie A and Champions League as well.

AC Milan done their jobs well and it's not only about them, but also about Serie A generally. Clubs from Italy and Serie A have been performing better and better in Europe in last three seasons. They are improving from quality to performances with which they can have better finance and purchase better players. If they can maintain it for several more seasons, they will become more competitive in Europe and we will come to time when Serie A can be on top in Europe again.

For me personally, Serie A is not very competitive when compared to other European leagues, of course Serie A is very behind their slow game, of course they will go down next season, Serie A in the last few seasons has been very competitive, but if you look at it in terms of the most viewers, then Serie A is very behind, they cannot attract many fans to draw attention to their league.
Of course I am the opposite, Serie A will be even more behind, because there is not a single team that competes in such a way that until the end of the season Juventus will be even more depressed, of course they lose out to the top clubs, leaving only AC Milan and Inter, the others are less in demand, so if they want to play a competitive league, of course they have to bring in big names and play modern football so that their league becomes the best next season

- Several Roma signings are also in the middle and back lineups, so they are indeed quite focused on increasing the team's strength even with a small budget.

Roma are still not satisfied with the players they have successfully brought in, the ambitious project built after De Rossi improved Roma quality will see a rapid increase in Roma performance this season. Roma are considering a new signing to strengthen their backline, now targeting Sergi Roberto on a free transfer. Having successfully addressed the shortcomings in the front line following the arrivals of Soule and Artem Dovbyk, Roma also managed to acquire Enzo Le Fee from Rennes which gives De Rossi even more options in midfield.

Roma would be very fortunate to sign Sergi Roberto as he is capable of playing in a variety of positions, he is also capable of playing on the wing and would be a worthy replacement for Leonardo Spinazzola who has opted to leave for Napoli. The problem at right-back could be solved if Roma manages to recruit Sergi Roberto, his experience with Barcelona will be very helpful for De Rossi who is building Roma quality.

It's true, in this pre-season match Juventus appeared mediocre. Even in the two pre-season matches that Juventus played, the result was that Juventus was unable to win a single match. So if you look at the results of the matches played by Juventus, it is clear that Thiago Motta as Juventus' new coach has not shown significant progress for Juventus. But even so, we still have to see how Juventus will perform in official competitions next season. The reason is, pre-season matches alone cannot be a definite benchmark for a team's performance. Because of course the coach is looking for a very good strategy to face real competition. However, as far as I see, I think Juventus will be a little weak in defense. The reason is, when Juventus received a fast tempo attack, Juventus' defenders seemed to have a little difficulty blocking the opponent's attack. So hopefully this can be fixed soon by Thiago Motta, because as we know, Serie A will start in a few weeks. That's why Thiago Motta must resolve this problem as soon as possible.

And in this transfer market, Juventus has indeed sold a lot of players, a total of 7 players have currently been sold by Juventus. I don't understand what Juventus means and aims to sell that many players. However, it looks like Juventus will buy new players again at quite expensive prices. Apart from that, Thiago Motta still has one more pre-season match to maximize the strategy he will implement at Juventus. Namely against Atletico Madrid next week. Hopefully in this match Thiago Motta can really show very good progress at Juventus.

you think that Serie A is not a competitive championship, so what would competitive championships be? Serie A boasts the best players in the world who play in our championship or at least start in Italy, just look at the fact that there are players like Lautaro Martinez who is very close to winning the Ballon d'Or or other players who have won European Championships and World Cup so excellent football is played here and in my opinion Juventus can do really well this year!

Since Motta joined Juventus he tried to do his best to improve the team while he also needs to make some changes and it's very normal to see Motta doesn't want to keep some players in the team while he currently made it clear that he doesn't need Federico Chiesa for the next season.
Federico Chiesa should think about his next destination and Juvnetos also put this player for sale while there is one more year from his contract.

Even Juventus management has cut Federico Chiesa's price from 35 million euros to 20 million euros so that this player can be quickly bought by another club and management can use the money to buy players that Thiago Motta needs, I know Federico Chiesa has been an important player for Juventus for years but Thiago Motta definitely wants a more productive striker than that player, we can also see how Juventus was in previous seasons where they did not score as many goals as their rivals did so Motta wants to make Juventus' attack stronger next season.

Sometimes the salary burden is also the reason why Juventus releases its important players. As we know, almost all teams in Serie A are experiencing financial problems so they have to optimize them, I am sure that Juventus management has evaluated the situation last season so they have to take important decisions before the new season starts. Based on Juventus' activity on transfermarkt it seems they are strengthening the midfield line and bring 2 players there by spending 72 million for 2 players. Apart from that, I see that Juventus also needs players in the attacking line but so far there has been no effort to find new players or maybe they are waiting at the last second.

At least their performance has shown better improvement to welcome this season because this result will give them more confidence to compete with Inter Milan. Like last season, Ac Milan always lost in their duels in the derby della madonnina so improvements are needed to close the gaps that must be made in this transfer market.

However, in the two matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City, of course we have not seen their new star players who they recruited from Atletico Madrid. We have not yet seen the real strength of AC Milan because in the pre-season matches many young players have joined or those who have returned from loan periods such as Colombo.

It seems that the AC Milan team under Paulo Fonseca's guidance is quite ready to go through the next season and hopes for much more brilliant results even though winning a friendly match cannot guarantee a team to be able to perform well throughout the next season. But for AC Milan itself, I actually have no more doubts when I see the results of their friendly matches like that, even though Paulo Fonseca still has to provide his best tactics in the official season later because that will be much more important than winning in a pre-season match like that.

Preseason matches do not guarantee that they will still be able to show the same performance in official matches later, but Paulo Fonseca has shown or made AC Milan fans quite sure and confident to cover next season with a handful of good results in his preseason matches.

Initially, many people thought that Paulo Fonseca needed to adapt longer to be able to improve the performance of the AC Milan team, but I don't think so after seeing the performance of the AC Milan team in several of its last preseason matches, I am quite optimistic that AC Milan will be able to compete fiercely in the fight for the Scudetto next season.
Paulo Fonseca is extraordinary, this is a surprise in my opinion.

In that the match Fonsesca has shown his ability to coach, even though he has only coached Milan this season, in this friendly match I saw that there was an improvement in Milan game, regardless of whether they will be able to show the same improvement or not in the official match next season.
Pre-season match will not reflect the true strength and performance of Milan, but in this case at least Paulo Fonseca has proven and won the trust of Milan fans to see their team be even better next season, in fact, I personally hope that Enzo Fonseca will be able to improve Milan performance from the previous season done by Stefano Pioli last season, actually Milan under Stefano Pioli coaching played quite well and continued to be able to challenge for the title in the last few seasons but who knows what caused them to fire him at that time.

[Velvet78]

Oh and Is there any new news about Pogba? Or will he have to serve the full ban?

I don't see any update on Pogba's condition. It seems like he is going to serve his four-year ban fully. I don't think he would get lucky even if he fights against this decision. Rules are rules. He shouldn't have used doping. 

I just see that he isn't as competitive as in the past. A determined player would never risk their career like this. We all know that. He tells the media that his return will be solid but I don't believe that. I won't be surprised even if he retires early. 

He was injury-prone as well maybe but he was still a special player. If it weren't for this scandal, I believe he could have still been really useful for Juventus after his recovery.
