Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jatiluhung]

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.

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.

So far we can only make an assessment from the pre-season matches they have played. And yes, in the end, the good results shown in pre-season matches may indeed be different from the actual matches when the season starts. It's just that from the way Paulo Fonseca makes strategies in pre-season matches, I think this coach can be expected to bring about good changes. but yes, it will definitely take time and will not happen instantly. At the start of the season, AC Milan might not immediately find their best game. But as the season progresses I am sure Paulo Fonseca will make the AC Milan squad better and better. Maybe I seem too optimistic. But yeah, this is just my guess. And of course my guess could be very inaccurate.

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.

Being able to beat the two giants is not something amazing because this is just a friendly match, Real Madrid did not play their best players so it is natural that Real Madrid's attack was not so strong and in the end lost.
Meanwhile, Man City only used Haaland in the first half and this player scored a goal in the 19th minute if Haaland played full time the player could have scored another goal and the result of the match would have been different so don't be too happy with this result because in any case the real season has not started they might meet in the Champions League match later and I guarantee Milan will have difficulty winning like this again.

Preseason matches are not a benchmark for being stronger in the next season, but being able to beat two great teams like Man City and Real Madrid will certainly have an impact on AC Milan players as a whole, especially regarding the players' mentality which is getting better. In my opinion, it's not just Real Madrid and Man City who play young players, but AC Milan also plays young players in preseason matches. So even though preseason matches are meaningless, preseason matches are very important to start the league well. The next preseason match is against Barcelona, ​​​​if AC Milan manages to beat Barcelona I think next season AC Milan will really be a tough contender in the fight for the Serie A trophy and the UCL League.

In the preseason match, coach Fonseca clearly relied on Bennacer who has good ball distribution and ball holding skills, Bennacer is always present in AC Milan's attack build-up. This is what is lacking in the Pioli era at Milan, where he actually played Calabria as a DPL which did not produce results because Calabria did not deserve that position.

Chukwueze also continues to develop under Fonseca, by the way Fonseca is indeed good at developing individual player skills, Chukwueze who was given a role and in his original position finally proved his capacity. Torriani is a new hope so that Milan will not lack quality goalkeepers, and Liberali must get more playing opportunities because I am sure Fonseca actually knows this player is talented.

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.

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.

If a match is held between AC Milan and Real Madrid, then Real Madrid will field players from the bench to show their strength, while AC Milan will consider Real Madrid as a big opponent and enter the field with their strong XI. Hence, such matches usually see relatively weaker teams winning against stronger opponents. 

However, AC Milan's win over Real Madrid certainly gave them a boost of confidence that will come in handy when they start playing in the main stage. Seeing Real Madrid performing poorly in the pre-season matches, there is no reason to think that this team might not be able to do well next season. Be patient and wait for the season to start, surely Real Madrid's performance will make you happy.

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.

Honestly, I don't know if there will be any injuries in this match and it is really unfortunate that the pre-season match caused a deep loss for Atalanta. I think Atalanta will be quite calm even though they lose but it seems they are too serious to be able to avenge Parma. In the end, one of the important pillars in Atalanta's attack line, Scamacca, had to suffer an injury due to a fall and I think Atalanta don't know what else to do for next season if they don't immediately find the right person to replace him.

ACL injuries usually take a very long time and it's not enough with just 3 months and maybe Scamacca will be out for a whole season. The match against Real Madrid for the super cup is just around the corner and I think even though they have a very small chance of winning, with Scamacca absent, they have no hope at all.

AC Milan showed a great performance in the friendly matches. I, and probably you, did not expect to see such a good performance from them. Right now, it seems like Fonseca has managed to add good things to the team, but when the league starts, everything will start to become clearer. Because the teams will be on the field with their best squad to compete in the best way. For now, everything is going very well, but we should not forget that these matches were friendly matches. The opponents may not have taken it very seriously, the real struggle will be in the league.

[bastisisca]

--cut--
AC Milan so far can gets 2 wins and 1 draw from 3 pre season matches and this is impressive especially on the latest match that they can beat Real Madrid which we all know this team is champion league defending champion and i think Paulo Fonseca has give positive impact since first time to arrived this season and although Serie A hasn't starting yet but i am sure AC Milan will be much better under him
--cut--

Ladies and gentlemen, I am totally amazed by Milan's performances, I never expected this kind of performance.
I have to say that Fonseca is working well and I didn't expect these results, even if they are only friendly.
Well done, I'm happy for the Milan fans and not only that, we won't see a one-sided championship.

[Lannakosa]

The opponents may not have taken it very seriously, the real struggle will be in the league.

I remember Fonseca from the time when he was the coach of Shakhtar, then I was surprised by his comprehensive approach to training, he even monitored the players' regime and their diet. This shows how seriously he takes his job, and the results of friendly matches show that he takes even these games very seriously. For him, this will be another attempt in Serie A, with Roma the results were not very good, but Roma is going through hard times, maybe with Milan everything will be different.

[AYOBA]

Hence, such matches usually see relatively weaker teams winning against stronger opponents. 

When it comes to friendly matches Real Madrid always look unserious amid the the weak teams bring them down which most of people will think that the team is not longer strong, and is not like that this is there nature of their playing if is not a really league, if not who is AC Milan to beat Madrid.

However, AC Milan's win over Real Madrid certainly gave them a boost of confidence that will come in handy when they start playing in the main stage. Seeing Real Madrid performing poorly in the pre-season matches, there is no reason to think that this team might not be able to do well next season. Be patient and wait for the season to start, surely Real Madrid's performance will make you happy.

AC Milan win against Real Madrid in the pre-season matches doesn’t means that they can able to compete with the Real Madrid next season, honestly Madrid can surprise alt if of people with how they will perform against any of their opponents by performing very well; because this is just pre-season matches so AC Milan should keep their boost confidence and wait for the really season to arrive.

Because this is also very important to enable all players to play more optimally.

Good management is the most important thing for any team in the world, because you can be the richest team in the world and if you fail to make that work somehow then the result will not be great at all.

We have seen that with PSG basically, they have all the money in the world and yet they are not doing good at all, they are spending more money on transfers than most of the clubs even worths, and yet they still only win the league and never been good at UCL, which is a problem. Inter has great executives and directors, they know what they are doing and they are not just thinking about short term neither, they think about long term impacts of it as well.

This is how they keep getting good, because they know that it is not just about getting a title now, it's about keep getting titles. They know that if they get one title now in exchange of not having any titles for five years in a row, that would not be okay, and they want to make sure they are almost always good. I know that Juventus also had that kind of situation, but with punishments and fines and points deductions, they became a little bit in disarray and that caused a lot of trouble for them on the long term as well.

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.

Usually a mediocre team will play their best because it is their chance to play against a top team. But I think there are almost no top teams who play their best in friendly matches. There are many top teams who lost to weak teams in pre-season matches. Real Madrid also lost to AC Milan and Barcelona in friendlies. And you are right that Atalanta have an important match in the UEFA Super Cup next Thursday. So it is unlikely that Gasperini will play his first team and aim for victory. I think Gasperini is trying to use the match against Parma as a way to try out various tactics for the match against Real Madrid.

Even I agreed with your statement partially but still I have strong feeling we can't consider AC Milan as weaker side because they are also having good history even not like Real Madrid, but they are one of the best European product with many milestones and quality performance recently they are doing good job just because of this we are having good performance from them in pre-season games because they are feeling next season is going to be challenging in Serie A.

Game between Real Madrid vs AC Milan were having just for the fun, and usually we all know these games are never been having any worth but still they are checking their new players and also having some test case for their preparation which are they doing for the next season because we are having too many teams are ready for the top tier fight into this coming season, and they are looking for perfect results.

I think Gasperini is trying to use the match against Parma as a way to try out various tactics for the match against Real Madrid.

That's how it is, because in reality there are matches that are more important than friendly matches, so I surprised because some of them are very fixated on the results of friendly matches to assess the team's performance for the new season later. Although indeed, basically there is still not a very good chance for Atalanta to play against Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. But at least,  Atalanta can still do its best and maybe, Atalanta will be able to give another surprise like it did in the Europa League last season by beating Liverpool and also beating Bayer Leverkusen.

But unfortunately, based on the news I received recently about Gianluca Scamacca, it is that Gianluca Scamacca suffered an injury which also took a long time to recover. After all, Gianluca Scamacca last season also had a big contribution to Atalanta because at least Gianluca Scamacca was the player who had a lot of goals for Atalanta last season. With incidents like this, of  course it will be a difficult task for Atalanta to be able to provide strong resistance to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup later.

It is not right to compare Parma to Milan or Barcelona. Milan and Barcelona are two top-level teams. Real Madrid played their friendlies with them. Parma is a simpler team and Atalanta lost to them with a heavy defeat. It may have been an important match for Atalanta in tactical terms, but they should not have experienced this score.

AC Milan is always having good depth into Serie A as they are consistently doing good job in last few years even they are having some troubles on and off the field but still things are working as they are having good squad and performance with consistency their pre-season matches are showing how things will be in coming season because in last season they were able to have things well under control, but they were late so have to stay at the second spot.

Now in this season start is good, and they are also having few top players which are ready for having their best at this level Serie A is having good results in last few years even many clubs are suffering due to Covid era, but they are able to bring better results we can expect another good season at the top because few teams are trying their best for having top spots and quality performance.

If we look at Milan 4 friendly matches, we actually see an increase in performance that occurs from one match to another (LDWW) and they even managed to beat two big European teams, namely Manchester City and Madrid, but indeed the results of the friendly match should not make Fonsesca and the Milan squad proud, so that they close their eyes to several weaknesses that they should be able to correct before the real test they take on 17 August later, the friendly match must be utilized well by Fonsesca to continue evaluating every weakness that owned by Milan, so that when the league starts they will be very ready to face it.

We cannot use last season as a reference for assessing Milan performance next season, because currently Milan has started a new era with Fonsesca, yes, in the last few seasons they have been able to appear quite consistently as Scudetto contenders, but we might see different things happening to Milan next season in the hands of fonsesca as the new coach, so far he has made many changes in overhauling the Milan squad, so we don't know whether Milan next season will be better or will experience a downturn.

[Nheer]

Ladies and gentlemen, I am totally amazed by Milan's performances, I never expected this kind of performance.
I have to say that Fonseca is working well and I didn't expect these results, even if they are only friendly.
Well done, I'm happy for the Milan fans and not only that, we won't see a one-sided championship.

It is a good result at least to build on till the start of the season. Winning two big friendlies will be a motivation for the entire team and also a boost of confidence which is a good way to start the season although friendlies are not games most teams take seriously but a win is a win though and the most important thing is for it to build and uplift the team spirit.

When it comes to friendly matches Real Madrid always look unserious amid the the weak teams bring them down which most of people will think that the team is not longer strong, and is not like that this is there nature of their playing if is not a really league, if not who is AC Milan to beat Madrid.

It’s not that the team don’t take friendlies seriously, and no one judges the performance of a team from preseason games. Alot of players are being tested and even academy graduates are being used so you shouldn’t expect a perfect performance from them but then a win in the pre season will help boost the confidence of a lot of players.

In terms of score, it is quite a striking score for a team that last season managed to become champions in the Europa League, but it should be remembered that this is a friendly match which does not affect them at all, in fact a defeat like this in a friendly match can make them more aware of what is still lacking in their game so that they can evaluate everything to be better in the official competition.

In general, we will always see that some teams do not play to their best strength, because their main focus is not to win but to test how strong their squad depth is. Atalanta are also aware that they will be in the Champions League next season, so they will prepare for it as best they can.

If we look at some clubs you would notice that most of their main players who are more like guaranteed starters are not part of the main squad for the preseason this is because they don’t want to risk it by allowing them to play as most of them had participated in the international tournaments but aside that I noticed a culture of team like Manchester city and Real Madrid not usually playing their best players In the preseason friendlies and even if they do feature they don’t play to the level we all knew they can. This is clearly telling us that they don’t rate the friendlies and it shouldn’t be use to test a team performance level for the new season

Compared to a team like Juventus, I think you are right and AC Milan is a good team in the Serie A. They were always in the good form. However, the fact about AC Milan and some other teams in the Serie A is they are still not close to Inter Milan and during the last two years, they were far better than other teams. At the same time, they also hired some players to be better performers than last season which means they aim for the Champions League.
