Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Adiljutt156]

Lately Inter appearance in a friendly match is not too bad and has never been defeated. I think this is also thanks to the contribution of coach Inzaghi who already knows the right strategy to give victory in every match. In this way Inzaghi can give encouragement and enormous self confidence for some of the main players who will appear when the season has begun.
But believe me bet I won because of luck because I bet in the first round when Pisa scored 1 score and Inter only got 0 scores. Initially I thought Inter would lose but I believed to end in a draw when I looked back at the previous appearance.

The match has been ended with no result because team score was equal and no team was ahead from other team. Both teams coaches tried their best for win but result was not in the favour of any team. Piccinini did excellent goal but his team could not win this match ,that team was unlucky because they did first goal at the time but they could not second goal and after that Inter Milan team became successful to do goal and match was draw  but I think Inter Milan team played well in this match and their shots were more in number and more shots were on target and the possession percentage was also good. These players gave more passes but they could not win .

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.

AC Milan won against two of the strongest teams in Europe and their result certainly surprised us. Although these two matches were warm-up matches, neither team went into the field planning to lose. Naturally, when Real Madrid and Manchester City took on AC Milan, they came out with a plan to win. 
Despite coming into the field with a plan to win, they did not do well in the competition with AC Milan, as a result of which they were defeated. They looked more aggressive against Manchester City than they did against Real Madrid. However, against Manchester City, they scored three goals but conceded two goals. 

In the match they played against Manchester City, they were seen in a rush to score which led to them not paying much attention to the defense which resulted in them conceding two goals. 

They beat Real Madrid and they beat Manchester City which will surely give them confidence in the main stage match. If they can perform like this in the main stage matches, then nothing is impossible to win the Italian league.

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. 

Regardless of whether or not he will serve the full sentence for now I think it will be very difficult for Pogba to start again.
It is undeniable that with the age he has and the performance in the past will indeed invite some interest but to restore the popularity and career rise that he has built before of course it will be very difficult especially by being found guilty and resting for a long time it will clearly make him inconvenient to adapt back to a league that is clearly different in terms of tension.

Moreover, I still believe that the 4-year ban is still valid until now and it cannot be changed unless there is direct confirmation from the authorities who provide evidence for the appeal later.

The match against Madrid isn't one I think Madrid did take serious nd shouldn't be considered like one which AC Milan was actually superior to Madrid is and talking about Madrid's strong and firm squad, they weren't all present in that game, he only used a few of them and not the actual complete squad which he has selected to play this season (I mean his first 11). With Manchester city I believe similar thing did happened too because in that game Manchester city was seen with minimal dominance and that was really unlike them, the preseason games aren't one that should be taken seriously as the main strength of the trans will be seen when the season begins.

Any football fan knows preseason games are warmups. In August, Real Madrid and AC Milan arent playing their best. Ancelotti and Guardiola play ches. They're trying different formations to showcase younger players. Building toward the real battles is the strategy.

Was AC Milan "better" than Madrid in preseason? Who cares? Lacks significance. We'll watch how both teams perform under pressure and for trophies. Real play begins then. The UEFA Super Cup vs Atalanta will reveal Real Madrid's true nature. There, champions are made.

[hahay]

Am I not seeing this wrong? Isn't this too cruel for Atalanta? even they can't do anything in front of Parma.

It seems that Serie A next season will present a new strong figure and actually this is an old face that has started to show its revival again. Parma wants to prove that they are a team full of history and try to make history again in Serie A as a promotion team next season. Atalanta looks helpless in front of Parma and we know that these two teams will also face each other for a season and what if Atalanta can't avenge their defeat in this pre-season match, wouldn't it be a little annoying?

Well, Atalanta have to work hard because after winning the Europa League they can't lower their quality and as a fairly favored team I hope they won't weaken.

It doesn't matter what the result is in a friendly match and I wonder why you're so fixated on the result in a friendly match like this. Because basically is clear, they didn't play as they should have, and they didn't play with the same effort as when they played in the Europa League final. After all, in the near future  Atalanta also still have to make good preparations  because Atalanta will play in the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid.

Thus, it would be very wrong if Atalanta played optimally with full strength in such an unimportant friendly match. So,don't be surprised if Atalanta are beaten badly by Parma, after all the real match will happen in the new season later, and of  course the results will be very different,and the results in friendly matches can in no way be used as an assessment of the quality of the team for next  season.

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.

But at least this is a hope that Milan will return to good form and become a contender for the Scudetto race according to what they have always done in the last few seasons.

The results of the pre-season matches against some big clubs are quite good although it is also not too much to be proud of because for the players we can see that there is nothing special about the line-up given but of course it is a good thing to make them mentally more trained.

In addition, with this result there is a hope about some of the young players Milan have so that they can be utilized when the new season starts because after all, even though we know that there are several players who Milan have brought to strengthen the squad next season and rumors that they are also still interested in Tammy Abraham until now but with several young players who can be promoted to the senior team of course it will increase their potential next season.

Most coaches experiment with their squad during pre-season and friendly matches. And gave opportunities to young players in the squad. So the performance of most of the teams in the pre-season matches is erratic. Real Madrid have given opportunities to Mbappe, Vini, ROdrygo and Bellingham in their friendlies. So naturally we have seen erratic performances from Real Madrid. And Real Madrid lost most of the matches. However, Madrid's performance is likely to remain strong next season.

But I am satisfied with AC Milan's performance. This team is performing very well. AC Milan's overall performance in particular has improved considerably. Milan changed their match strategy. In the friendly matches, we have seen mixed performances from the Milan players. I wouldn't be surprised if this team fights for the Serie A title next season.

Real Madrid lost their two pre-season games against Barcelona and AC Milan. But that doesn't mean that Madrid's dominance has collapsed and they are in bad form. Real Madrid already have a solid squad so I don't think they need to prove anything in pre-season games. Even Real Madrid only played their bench players or their young players in pre-season games. We will be able to see how strong Real Madrid really are in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta. I favor Real Madrid to win that game.

Well, I think that the win by Milan against Madrid was not something special. Milan has beaten Madrid's young squad by a narrow score. This must boost their confidence as they prepare for next season. But, it's clear that some issues remain unfixed, especially on their attacking line.

Milan was not playing well in the game against Madrid. They won, but their finishing was poor. Milan made 4 goal attempts, but only 1 goal was scored. It's really disappointing to see that there were a lot of issues that must be solved in their attacking line.
I meant, although Milan was not playing with their main squad. But this is important to improve the secondary squad. They'll have more matches than last season due to the UCL's new format. Also, you're talking about La liga team too much in the Serie A thread.

Friendly matches are only an opportunity to maximize the game strategy from of coach each team at this time, but even so, defeat is still something that is avoided by the teams playing in these matches, apart from seeing the performance of the young players, coaches often field several of their main players. in a friendly match to restore their playing performance and also provide mental support for the young players so that they are ready to face important matches next season, looking at Atlanta's defeat to Parma, maybe we can't judge their performance next season as bad at the moment, but I saw that in this match, Atlanta played very chaotically even though he fielded several of his main players.

The friendly match against Parma was actually one of their trials before facing Madrid in the European Super Cup, but apart from suffering a crushing defeat against Parma, currently Atlanta is experiencing a huge loss after they also lost Scamacca because ACL injury in the match, We know he is the main actor and top scorer of the club that appeared quite great last season in the European league and Serie A, so losing him would mean a huge loss for atlanta.

This is regrettable even though conditions like this are sometimes unexpected but Aalanta will have to miss this season for a long time because the fastest estimate is 6 months or even more than that for healing, of course this will greatly make Scamacca and Atalanta lose.
Though this season is the right season to make his performance better and show that he can shine at Atalanta but with an unexpected ACL he must bury his dreams to continue playing nicely in domestic competitions and the Champions League for the next few months.

This is also bad news for Atalanta as Scamacca is their most important attacking player at the moment and if possible I think there should be at least one temporary replacement as Scamacca is clearly not going to be available for the first half of the season or even the end of the season.

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.

Federico Chiesa is currently out of favour from the new coach Thiago Motta, but we have many clubs still interested most chances he is leaving Juventus in coming days for the Premier League club because we are having updates about this Newcastle United and Tottenham are interested after price tag is cut from the €45 Million to €25 Million this is good price with few clubs can go ahead right now three are in competition with AS Roma is favourite but who will be winner it's not sure but most chances he is going to leave Juventus before start of the next season its sure.

In last season he had nearly 37 appearances for the club with score 10 goals which are not bad for the player like his quality, but sadly he is not having any future under new coach just because of this now he is having new career into new club after spending four years here at this club Juventus.

They beat Real Madrid and they beat Manchester City which will surely give them confidence in the main stage match. If they can perform like this in the main stage matches, then nothing is impossible to win the Italian league.

Yes, it is true that AC Milan was able to win against big opponents in these two matches. But I still think that there is no reason to be overly happy about this. Because both of them were friendly matches. And I think it is best for everyone to not be too excited about any friendly match. Because at the end of the day, the results of a friendly match actually does not matter. So even though both of the opponents of AC Milan in this match were really big, it is still the testing phase for all the teams and they are trying out different things. it is not going to be a big achievement for any team to win in this experimental period.

But if we talk about confidence, yes probably it is going to give them a good amount of confidence. That will be good for them going forward in the long run.

The friendly match against Parma was actually one of their trials before facing Madrid in the European Super Cup, but apart from suffering a crushing defeat against Parma, currently Atlanta is experiencing a huge loss after they also lost Scamacca because ACL injury in the match, We know he is the main actor and top scorer of the club that appeared quite great last season in the European league and Serie A, so losing him would mean a huge loss for atlanta.

Despite the fact that it is a friendly match, I did not expect Atalanta to concede so many goals against Parma. I am not underrating Parma, but they defeated Atalanta 4-1. It was really worst. I don't really have much to say, but I am a little bit disappointed with Atalanta. Now that Scamacca will be out of the squad for the meantime, I just wish Atalanta a good season ahead because this will really affect their performances. Atalanta's playing European Super Cup match against Real Madrid is not my worry because I know that even with Scamacca in the squad, they can't defeat Real Madrid.In fact, it has always been hard for the team that won the Europa League to win the Super Cup, so I don't even think Atalanta can beat Real Madrid. My main concern about Scamacca's injury is because of their Serie A season that is about to start. I just wish the injury would not be a long one.

This is a huge loss for Atalanta as Scamacca is injured for an extended period of time with the season just about to start.
Susdh obviously this will definitely disrupt the work plan of Gasperini because he is one of the coaches who does give more space to Scamacca and it can be said that until now Scamacca is Gasperini's mainstay player so it is certain that he hopes a lot for this player next season but when the season is a few weeks away from starting he actually has a problem that is definitely a new problem for Atalanta where they have to play without their mainstay striker for several months in the conditions of a busy schedule and a lot of pressure.
There is still time to find an alternative striker but with their finances now it seems that this is also not easy but if left unchecked this will actually make them troublesome in terms of goal productivity because after all last season Scamacca was one of the goal machines for Atalanta.

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 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.

exactly, exactly what I meant to say but you explained it better than me. the friendlies serve more than anything else to get in the best physical shape before the start of the championship, almost no team is using the starting lineup, but they are all rotating, this also applies to Juventus

[darewaller]

To be fair Milan definitely got a managerial upgrade, there is no doubt that they are going to do better than what Pioli showed so far, there isn't really any doubt about that. But, the question in minds right now is that if it's enough? I mean sure lets say that manager is good enough to make a team champions, but you can't make Monza the champions, that's not going to happen right?

There are only a set amount of teams that could do that, and Inter is doing great so far, hell even Juventus is doing fine, do we know if Milan has the squad to win the title or not? Manager could be as great as it gets, but if there is another team that plays amazingly well, then the manager doesn't matter. That's what we need to see this season.

My main concern about Scamacca's injury is because of their Serie A season that is about to start. I just wish the injury would not be a long one.

Atalanta may not have cared much because it was a friendly match. Parma beat Galatasaray in their previous match. They perform at a high level in friendly matches. Atalanta is the last Europa League champion. Even though it was a friendly match, beating them is a tremendous achievement. However, this score is very bad for Atalanta. I don't think they have any chance against Real Madrid.

[Rustam Meraj]

I totally agree that Scamacca injury is big problem for Atalanta especially with season starting soon. Coach Gasperini counted on him a lot and now the team plans will change. Finding new striker won't be easy because Atalanta does not have a lot of money. If they do not find solution they might struggle to score goals this season. Atalanta needs to act fast and find a new striker or change their playing style to make up for Scamacca being out. I hope they will solve this problem soon and try to give best time to this season.

The friendly match against Parma was actually one of their trials before facing Madrid in the European Super Cup, but apart from suffering a crushing defeat against Parma, currently Atlanta is experiencing a huge loss after they also lost Scamacca because ACL injury in the match, We know he is the main actor and top scorer of the club that appeared quite great last season in the European league and Serie A, so losing him would mean a huge loss for atlanta.

Scamacca had good months with Atalanta last season but his performances for Italy in Euro 2024 are very low in quality. This shows the striker is not too good and far from previous Italian strikers like Vieri, Toni about 10 and 20 years ago.

Atalanta is not a too big club in Italy and Scamacca is still one of important players in their squad, so this serious injury of their main striker, will affect their very last preparations for a new season and their performances in coming months too.

With a serious ACL injury, this season can be considered as ended very early for Scamacca and he will only be able to come back at very last weeks of season or even have to wait till a 2025 - 2026 season to return.

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.

Pogba was proven and admitted to using doping, but according to Pogba's statement, he did not know that the supplements he consumed contained elements prohibited for athletes. However, Pogba was still sentenced to a 4 year ban from playing. Because in essence he was proven to have consumed doping, so it is certain that Pogba will no longer be able to escape punishment. Even though according to reports circulating he has submitted an appeal, until now I have not heard clarity regarding Pogba's appeal. So basically I really regret that a great player like Pogba has to be trapped in a case like this, even though he is very reliable at Juventus. Apart from that, it can also be said that his contract at Juventus has a fairly long term, namely until 2026. So it can be concluded that with this, it does not rule out the possibility that Pogba will choose to retire early. However, looking at Pogba's current situation, he admitted that he would remain optimistic about his career. In fact, if you look at his sentence which will end in 2027, I think clubs in Europe might not be too interested in recruiting him. Because in 2027 Pogba will be quite old. Maybe if Pogba still wants to have a career in football after his sentence ends, I think the only opportunity he can get is to play in the Saudi Arabian League.
