Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Palakka]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Atalanta's overall performance shows that Atalanta did not take this match seriously. Atalanta's players did not attack in this match. Atalanta played a defensive strategy. However, Atalanta conceded 4 goals in this match.

I can't imagine Atalanta losing by such a big margin against Param. Parma is not a renowned team. Even this is the first time I have seen any match of this team. Atalanta's players should have played a defensive strategy and tried to draw the match. But Atalanta's defenders also performed very poorly. Also the performance of the goalkeeper was not good. Parma's players only had 5 shots on target, parma managed to score four of them.

Atalanta is very depressed in this pre-season phase, they have played two matches but the results are not satisfactory, they were just defeated by Parma with a score of 4-1, of course a bad match for them, but all this cannot be said that they have no chance of Real Madrid, Atalanta has that, many people underestimate them but they can become European champions and of course under the guidance of Gesperini they will make a proud fight, if you look at Real Madrid in the pre-season also did not show the spectacular they have so of course Atalanta has a chance to overthrow Madrid.

This final still leaves time for Atalanta to still have the opportunity to evaluate it fully, and from the beginning Gesperini really wanted his team to face Madrid so of course this great opportunity will be used as well as possible by their coach for Atalanta.

Losing to Parma in a friendly match in pre-season is not a big problem. But the big problem here is that Atalanta lost their mainstay striker, Gianluca Scamacca. In fact, based on the information I received, namely the results of the medical examination for Gianluca Scamacca's injury, it turned out to be quite serious. This player looks like he will have to undergo surgery and he will probably be out for almost 6 months. And that would really be a big loss for the player and also for the Atalanta club. I think Atalanta has been really unlucky this season. And yes, in pre-season matches, the Atalanta squad actually didn't seem to be playing that well. They seem to have lost the chemistry they had last season. But we'll see whether Atalanta will still be able to play well without Gianluca Scamacca or not. Atalanta's attack line last season was quite sharp and whether it will remain the same or not. Maybe we will see the answer when the season starts and also in the Uefa Super Cup match against Real Madrid.

Thiago Motta really has high hopes and trust in Bremer. until Bremer decided to stay at Juventus. This defender will help Juventus' defense again in future matches with his new contract. His decision makes him hope to contribute more at Juventus.

Several EPL teams who are hunting for defenders including MU are eyeing this one player, but Bremer decided to stay at Juventus and with this fact Thiaggo will continue to train Bremer to become a player who really contributes greatly to Juventus.

If a team wants to achieve maximum glory, what is needed is good management, a qualified squad composition and good relationships between the club, coach and players. And we can see all of this at Inter Milan in the last few seasons. And I think AC Milan will also be able to do it this season. Because AC Milan has also tried well to improve their squad by taking advantage of the current player transfer window. It's just that one thing we may not be able to confirm is whether the current coach will be able to build good chemistry between the players in the main squad. Because this is also very important to enable all players to play more optimally.

Bremer is indeed one of the best defenders that Juventus has. And Bremer was actually the one who could be relied on the most last season to strengthen Juventus' defense. So I think Juventus should be happy because Bremer is not interested in moving to another team. And with his new five-year contract, I think Bremer will also be more eager to become a stronger defender for Juventus. And actually Juventus should also appreciate the player because Bremer even rejected offers from MU and Liverpool. Bremer showed his loyalty to the club and the club welcomed him with a contract extension or a new contract which was also quite long until 2029.

Bremer has been a great player since the first time they bought him, I was really happy because he proved to be a true legend right from the start by putting himself at the service of the team, I remember when Thiago Motta was still coaching Bologna saying about Bremer that he was a great player in fact has been reconfirmed!

It is difficult for Paulo Fonseca to be able to immediately make the AC Milan team develop in his first season, especially compared to Inter Milan, I think it is still not feasible.
AC Milan will of course try to build this team with its new coach even though in the pre-season match we saw Paulo Fonseca could make the AC Milan team's performance much better, but I think that is not a guarantee.

It may take several seasons for Paulo Fonseca to make the AC Milan team successful, because in football nothing is instant, everything takes a process.
