Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[pusaka]

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's still a pre season games, and the first real test for Ac Milan has not yet come. I think the better if you're lowering your expectations to them. Im not saying Ac Milan was bad, but nothing to take from the Pre-season when they were against kids from the different clubs,

Fonsesca is still quite new in Ac Milan, and his real test is gonna start once Serie A will be starting soon.

I said this too, I said the performances are good and I didn't expect it.  But I also said that they are friendly matches and that we will therefore see the real test during the championship.

Obviously we cannot rely on these matches to understand how the team will fare in the championship.  They are batches of experiments.

I can't say no, because their performance is good in this pre-season match, but I agree that we have to lower our expectations of them. Pre-season matches are unpredictable matches, I mean sometimes they are good in pre-season but not in the competition, and there are also the opposite, they are bad in pre-season but they are good in the competition.
Now it is AC Milan's job to answer all of that, they have to answer that their performance in pre-season is a true picture of their performance in the competition. And the answer we will only get when Serie A starts. We have to be patient first to see their performance in Serie A or other official competitions.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Teams like Real Madrid or Man City will not show their best performance in pre-season matches, they will only make some changes and this is different from AC Milan who are looking for their best performance with their new coach. However, even so, what has been seen in several pre-season matches, AC Milan's performance deserves to be appreciated, they played quite well and this is an indication that they will be able to do better next season and are ready to compete for the Serie A title.

They don't bother about preseason since their is no price for the preseason and they don't even use their main squad during the preseason they like using the players on bench that's another reason to tell you that they don't care at all, it is not necessary for us to show our best performance in a preseason it is not worth it at all. Especially when the main season is about to start we need to store up all the energies we can store up before the main season starts. Their was a lot of changes especially coaches and AC Milan have be an amazing club and with a new coach now let's see the performance they will put up with their new coach, this season is going to be different, there have been a lot of changes this season.  As far it is preseason everyone's performance is supposed to be appreciated, since they are just practicing out after season, and they all did great I won't condemn any club until the main season.

I don't think every others teams are always uses their best squad as you may be thinking. What all teams always do during preseason matches they give chances to other players who are not in the main squad and by doing this, the coaches are just trying to know some players' abilities, maybe if possible, if those new players can be introduced to the main squad. So, as you see, Real Madrid or other strong teams are not using their best squad, which is what others are also doing.One thing I want you to understand is that during preseason, teams always use available players. Not all players are always available in the clubs due to some reasons, like when they play other international competitions and they are not well rested. They always give them time to rest, and that is the reason why some players in Real Madrid are not available on the pitch and even they available I don't think the coach will use the full and same applicable to others clubs.

Preseason is not the best form of teams, but from preseason, we can judge their players. I don't see any reason why a team that will perform well in the main season will performed very poorly throughout their preseason matches. Real Madrid is not performing poorly; they lose some matches and also won some games, and that is how Real Madrid's preseason always looks. As for AC Milan, from their performances I have seen good performances and I may predict that they will surely do well. I can't say that they will win the Serie A league next season, but it is very possible they will be among the top four next season.

It seems Conte wants to make more chances in Napoli since he joined in this team and he wants to get the team improved by hiring more players in Napoli and that's why he should say goodbye to some other player he already has in this team.
Alex Meret is the goalkeeper of Napoli but now they decided to put Alex Meret for sale because Conte asked for it and Napoli is trying to hire another player since they will stop working with Alex Meret soon.

Of course this Serie A competition will be interesting with big Italian clubs also very active in the transfer market at this time by hunting for new players to compete for the title next season, lately it has been seen that Inter is very strong in Serie A they were once down but now they are rising and amazingly they did their best last season, but in my opinion next season will not be beautiful for Inter they will compete with AC Milan who are currently getting positive results in pre-season and Inter on the contrary even though Inter are not playing with top European clubs, AC Milan who continue to win I think they will surprise Inter next season and of course Roma and Napoli will also be ready to block the defending champion Inter next season. The feeling with what happened in the Italian Serie A will be more interesting to wait for but I'm sure Inter is not as great as last season because currently AC Milan is better if you look at what they have done so far, and I'm sure the meeting in Serie A will be fierce and what the promotion team Como is doing is also very eager to hijack their place in Serie A next season, of course Serie A will present something that did not happen last season, and I hope this match at the end of the season will end hot and fierce between all of them.

It does look like there is something different about the passion in Serie A this season. For example, in this transfer market, all the Serie A teams seem to be very enthusiastic about bringing in great players. And one of the newcomers to Serie A, COMO, has also shown that it is the promotional team that is most enthusiastic about taking advantage of the transfer market.

If you look at the pre-season matches, AC Milan does look very reliable. But we don't know when the season starts. But I also believe AC Milan can surprise Inter Milan. But I probably see more big surprises coming from Roma and Napoli. I think Napoli will be surprising not because of the depth of their squad but because they have Conte who is a legendary coach with many achievements in the past. Meanwhile, I think Roma will be a strong challenger because De Rossi looks like a young coach who can bring out the maximum potential of every player at the club. He is similar to Arteta and we can see that Arteta has succeeded in making Arsenal compete at the top.

In this season Serie A is going to be very competitive. all the clubs are bringing in new players to make the squad stronger. and I think that is going to make the competition very fierce. In the last season inter literally ran away with things. But i think in this season this is not going to be the case and this season I am very hopeful about a certain club called juventus. In the last season they have performed really badly. and towards the end of the season they were almost unable to win any match at all. but with a new coach I think things are going to change. at least I hope so. I also hope that they will be able to complete for the title.

personally I would like to see a good competition between at least for teams for the title. it is very boring to see a certain club run away with that I tell with 5-10 matches left in the season. I just want that to change, and I think it will.

[Palakka]

It seems Conte wants to make more chances in Napoli since he joined in this team and he wants to get the team improved by hiring more players in Napoli and that's why he should say goodbye to some other player he already has in this team.
Alex Meret is the goalkeeper of Napoli but now they decided to put Alex Meret for sale because Conte asked for it and Napoli is trying to hire another player since they will stop working with Alex Meret soon.
 

  

Some of the new coaches in Serie A are making really crazy moves right now in overhauling their squad, when we see the big move from Motta at Juventus right now which is throwing away a lot of players, in fact Conte in napoli also continuing to make crazy move by throwing away their mainstay players last season, Previously, Conte forced Napoli to sell Osimhen to bring in Lukaku, but before Osimhen was sold, now Conte also asked Napoli to sell Alex Meret. who is their main goalkeeper last season, Meret managed to appear quite formidable as Napoli last bastion in the last two seasons so it is very surprising that Conte does not want to keep him in the squad next season although currently Napoli only has Contini and Caprile as backup goalkeepers, what Conte is doing is of course unexpected and I think he knows what is best for Napoli next season but so far I haven't heard who will be recruited by Napoli to replace Alex Meret if leave later?

[hahay]

Well, indeed, Roma is still watching and expecting to bid more top players to enhance their squad.

Latest rumors:
1. Federico Chiesa
He is a good Juventus Left Winger, ready to join Roma, negotiations are working on, for around 20-25 million euros, worth it?
Source: Federico Chiesa opens to Roma transfer

2. Marc Pubill
Almería right-back, as the option of Torino's Raoul Bellanova that is too expensive for them. They will meet the agent this week.
Source: Roma to meet with Marc Pubill?s agent this week

Nooooooooo
why sell Federico Chiesa, who is a very good, promising and young player!  What nonsense Juventus is doing!
I absolutely don't agree, in fact, this thing even makes me a little angry.  We don't sell players like that!
I am really angry for this.

Rumors like this always seem to exist in every open transfer window because after all, in the transfer market at the beginning of last season too if I'm not mistaken, that Vlahovic was also rumored to leave. Not only that, because as far as I remember also at that time Juventus had also stated that they were open to negotiations for Vlahovic. But anyway, the reality is that Vlahovic is still at Juventus, and I also hope that Vlahovic will remain at Juventus for a long time.

Now it's happening again and not reluctantly, as the rumors prove about Chiesa being open to negotiations as well. What's more, the interested team is AS Roma, which is basically also Juventus rival. Thus, then of course there will be many people who disagree because after all, Chiesa is a young player who is the first choice of Juventus. In fact, when Chiesa was injured with a long recovery, the fact is that Juventus still really needed Chiesa at that time. So yes, it seems to be something unreal if Chiesa later leaves for AS Roma, and of course it will be very unfortunate and many Juventus fans will also disagree.

And the answer we will only get when Serie A starts. We have to be patient first to see their performance in Serie A or other official competitions.

Milan are currently making a roadmap to success next season, a number of their pre-season tour results indicate that they are very ready to compete for the Scudetto. However, I predict their chances of winning it are lower than Inter Milan, despite their impressive victories against Barcelona, Madrid, and Man City. At least, the series of wins can increase the players confidence, and indicate that they have adapted quickly and are ready to face the new season. Meanwhile, to assess Milan true strength, their first match against Torino in the next ten days can be used as a reference.

Paulo Fonseca who was appointed as the new manager is fully responsible for Milan performance next season, his experience coaching Roma can at least shorten his time to adapt to the Serie A game culture. Last season Milan was quite far behind Inter Milan, also losing when the two faced each other directly in the derby match. With the overhaul that has been carried out in the transfer window, Milan performance next season should be even better, following the good results they got in the pre-season tour. Hopefully, this will not only be proven in Serie A, but should also be shown in their journey in the Champions League.

[beerlover]

And Man City or Real Madrid are not serious about winning matches in pre-season. They have more important things they have to do in pre-season games. Namely finding good players and several compositions that are suitable for use in the coming season. Every team that has a new coach will always do everything to the maximum even if it is in pre-season. Just look at the results shown by Napoli which are the same as Milan. They also showed positive results with the many wins they obtained in pre-season. Even though yesterday Napoli lost in pre-season to Girona. But in other pre-season matches, Napoli also always won. Just like what was achieved by AC Milan, which will also start the season with a new coach. Even one of the premier league teams, namely Liverpool, and its new coach also showed the same thing in the pre-season match. Namely, they achieved victory after victory in pre-season matches. So I agree that a new coach in a team seems to have to show their quality even if it is in a pre-season match.

That is right, they are not going to be all that great, we are going to end up with something that will not be all that simple because they will not have easy time putting new players in every single season as well. They are already a good team, so changing who they have is not an easy task, what works ends up being changed so that's a hard situation.

Look at Real Madrid for example, to say that they are good would be understatement and they won the league and the UCL last season, and they added Mbappe, lets say that Mbappe is fine because he is just some other level player and that's why it is okay, but anyone else they get will be a question mark, even the young stars they have right now gets minutes very hardly because they do not want to ruin anything that works.

[Jatiluhung]

AC Milan's new coach will definitely try to make AC Milan perform well even in pre-season. Because in reality he is trying to gain the trust of everyone at the club. Well, this is necessary to build the players' confidence in the instructions from the coach. Good results from pre-season can show that Paulo Fonseca can indeed be trusted. And when all the players have high hopes for the coach, a harmonious situation will exist within the club. And this will make the team's performance better. I think Paulo Fonseca is building on this while testing out the strategies and players he wants to use in the real season. Real Madrid and Man city are in a condition where they don't need to show their full strength. They just want to assess their players and test out some new compositions and strategies without caring about winning or losing.

Perhaps he takes friendly matches too seriously, I don't see the point in achieving a position in pre-season matches that don't decide anything. There are 10 days left before the start of the season, and the first games will show how well the results in friendly matches correspond to the team's form. Fonseca is a very ambitious coach and said that Milan's main goal for this season is to win the Scudetto. A very self-confident statement, but I think it should be like that, when a team understands where it needs to go, there is a greater chance that it will be able to achieve its goal.

Well, a definite goal will indeed make a club fight harder. And yes, Paulo Fonseca has quite strong ambitions and it seems true that he is a coach who is always confident. That's why he never even wants to lose, even if it's only in pre-season. And I think the mission now in pre-season is to grow the confidence of the players there. And I think that's a good thing. While other teams may not be serious about winning matches in pre-season, Paulo Fonseca keeps AC Milan serious about winning.

In the pre-season match against Barcelona, ​​we could also see that at the start of the match, AC Milan was able to score a goal much earlier, namely in the 10th minute and 15th minute. Although in the end Barcelona was also able to equalize the score at 2-2. because Lewandowski still doesn't seem to have lost his sharpness in the attack line. But in the penalty shootout it turned out that AC Milan could indeed win. Which shows AC Milan is still more confident in this matter.

[Furious 7]

I can't say no, because their performance is good in this pre-season match, but I agree that we have to lower our expectations of them. Pre-season matches are unpredictable matches, I mean sometimes they are good in pre-season but not in the competition, and there are also the opposite, they are bad in pre-season but they are good in the competition.

And the answer we will only get when Serie A starts. We have to be patient first to see their performance in Serie A or other official competitions.

Preseason are difficult to use as a benchmark for success but on the other hand it's also an early comparison when we're in the new season because it's like a situation where there will be more positive belief if a club does well in a friendly but on the other hand it can also be a worry and backfire when a club does badly in pre-season considering it's an early benchmark to judge how ready they are for the new season.

Although it cannot be denied that sometimes pre-season matches are just experiments and warm-ups for some clubs in concocting schemes and player line-ups but still when a club plays well or badly it has an impact on our assessment of them for the new season.

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

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 initial estimate of absence is 6 seasons but it depends on the healing process because it could be longer especially with the many cases that exist for ACL sometimes it takes 8 or 9 months even more to be able to return to play and re-adapt.

Finding players is also not easy for Atalanta now because after all, apart from money problems, they are also chased by time considering that this transfer saga is only a matter of days.
It's a pretty big loss but hopefully it won't interfere too much with Gasperini's plans even though it's clear that his targetman is missing for the next few months but hopefully the confidence and cohesiveness of the Atalanta club will still be there next season with a very busy schedule.

Although it cannot be denied that sometimes pre-season matches are just experiments and warm-ups for some clubs in concocting schemes and player line-ups but still when a club plays well or badly it has an impact on our assessment of them for the new season.

That's right, friend. In the end, even winning in pre-season matches is sometimes important to build the confidence of the players in the squad. And also to bring our trust in the new coach to a club. Even though all of this cannot be a definite benchmark, there is hope that a team that is good in pre-season will be able to play well in the actual season. For a strong team like Real Madrid, maybe they save their best strategy for the actual match. So it is not surprising that they do not attach importance to the results of pre-season matches. but for a team that has a new coach, I think they are testing the squad seriously in pre-season because it will be their debut there. And even bad results in pre-season can make people start to distrust them. So they are more serious about getting good results.

[arimamib]

They also drew with Barcelona yesterday. In other words, they have never lost in these difficult matches and this is a great success. Fonseca has started to adapt to Milan. He showed his influence in Milan. He managed to make Milan a scary team for Serie A. Now they are in the position of being one of the biggest candidates for the championship next year. They have not lost to the two strongest teams in La Liga. This is a great success.

I am really looking forward to Fonseca's first debut in Serie A this season because he has been able to show his prowess in managing strategy so that he managed to beat strong opponents in pre-season matches. Of course AC Milan are very favorites this season because their strength is getting better this season, they just need to maintain their pace with enthusiasm to start the season better. The fans seemed very satisfied with the players' performance in pre-season match because they managed to show quite an impressive game.
There is still a lot of time before Serie A starts so there is a lot of work that the coach must do to maintain the fitness of his players, whether from test matches or focusing on training sessions.
There are also some quite interesting things they are doing in the transfer market because AC Milan is able to recruit quality players and the depth of their squad is increasingly showing big changes from last season.

I confirm with your opinion especially that stated in the first few lines of your comment, except for strong teams who have gotten their form and strength intact such that they have the confidence enough, they only use the pre season friendly as a means of getting ready for the season. So it's only important for the confidence of the new team or weak teams who are still finding their feet around the league with hopes of getting better to the point where they will be able to get to the top so they make it an important game for them .

Latest rumors:
1. Federico Chiesa
He is a good Juventus Left Winger, ready to join Roma, negotiations are working on, for around 20-25 million euros, worth it?
Source: Federico Chiesa opens to Roma transfer

Is there any big change in Roma financially like signing with a new good sponsor so they now have better finance and transfer budget?

Roma announced that as of June 2024, AS Roma's net profit increased sharply by 25% compared to the previous year.

some factors:
- retail & e-commerce sector
- stadium revenues
- new partnerships
The latest is the 2-year agreement of €25 million with Riyadh Season.

Source: Roma record 25% increase in net profit

I am not really believing in this rumor that Roma are ready to spend 20 - 25M Euros for Chiesa. It's big money for Roma to purchase any player, and Chiesa has bad injury record that is a red flag for Roma to spend big money.

We're still waiting for the official news. So far, it's all about the rumor.

Preseason are difficult to use as a benchmark for success but on the other hand it's also an early comparison when we're in the new season because it's like a situation where there will be more positive belief if a club does well in a friendly but on the other hand it can also be a worry and backfire when a club does badly in pre-season considering it's an early benchmark to judge how ready they are for the new season.

Indeed. We can't judge the performance of the team for the new season based on the performance of pre-season matches. In pre-season matches, most teams never play with their full strength because most players are second tier players. Pre-season matches are just for the time for trying alternative/new tactics and formation. We shouldn't be so surprised if there are some big teams that never get good results in pre-season matches because they probably don't target for the wins. Even if it looks like not a good sign but it is just usual thing in pre-season matches. The benchmark only can be visible from the results of few early matches in the league. Even if it is not 100% reflection of the whole season performance, but the early matches will be very crucial.

There are also some quite interesting things they are doing in the transfer market because AC Milan is able to recruit quality players and the depth of their squad is increasingly showing big changes from last season.

So far, I don't see big efforts of AC Milan in the current transfer windows. They only signed 3 players (Álex Jiménez, Álvaro Morata, Strahinja Pavlović). I only consider Morata as the most significant transfer until now. So, it is still debatable if you claim AC Milan sign quality players. If AC Milan has bigger number of players, it is because many loan players have returned.

I am excited to see Fonseca coach AC Milan in Serie A this season. He is already shown he is good strategist by winning games against strong teams in pre season. AC Milan has stronger team now so they have good chance of winning. Fans are very happy after seeing some great games in pre season. But Fonseca still needs to make sure his players are fit and ready for season. He also needs to keep improving his tactics. AC Milan is signing some good players which will help them do well. Overall it is going to be a great season for AC Milan.

What Paulo Fonseca has shown in the pre-season match is indeed quite impressive and it makes many fans believe that they will be much better next season.
However, I think the pre-season match cannot be fully used as a reference even though AC Milan must still be taken into account next season in the title race.

Paulo Fonseca still has a lot of work and there will be many difficulties that he will face when the competition starts, so indeed in Paulo Fonseca's first season as AC Milan coach it will be quite difficult for him to be able to give the title to the team but if the progress looks better then support will come for him which will make it easier for Paulo Fonseca to build the AC Milan team for the long term.

[Gallar]

It seems Conte wants to make more chances in Napoli since he joined in this team and he wants to get the team improved by hiring more players in Napoli and that's why he should say goodbye to some other player he already has in this team.
Alex Meret is the goalkeeper of Napoli but now they decided to put Alex Meret for sale because Conte asked for it and Napoli is trying to hire another player since they will stop working with Alex Meret soon.
 

  

Conte seems to really want to change Napoli for the better. Because as proven by several interviews with the media, he stated that he would bring Napoli back to glory in Serie A. However, by selling Alex Meret this time, I think this action is a little surprising. Because Alex Meret is Napoli's main goalkeeper as far as I know, so if Conte sells Alex, I think Conte will have a little difficulty finding a quality goalkeeper again. So at the moment I don't really understand what Conte will do, but even so we have to respect his decision, because Conte is the one who has the plan and strategy. So you can be sure that with Conte's decision to still want to sell Alex, Conte will definitely have a replacement player he can bring in. And of course the players that Conte will bring in will definitely have quite good quality too.

Apart from that, currently one of Conte's plans does not seem to be running smoothly, namely regarding the sale of Osimhen. Until now there is no certainty regarding this matter. Maybe Conte has given up on this plan, because in essence the plan has not produced any results at all. Apart from that, with this, it is very likely that Conte will not bring Lukaku to Napoli. The reason is that Napoli clearly does not have the funds to buy him. So in this case, it is very likely that Osimhen will continue to be a mainstay at Napoli this season. Because in my opinion this is a choice that Conte is definitely forced to choose.

[klidex]

What is clear in this match is that they are only conducting trials for each team and I am sure that Real Madrid will not use the players they used in this pre-season match. Manchester City and Real Madrid will use their main players who are stronger and their mentality is no longer in doubt, but I must admit that Milan's performance was quite good when they beat Real Madrid and Man City, they are trying to use various strategies to prepare for next season.
It is no need to explain again indeed that Milan has always been a strong competitor to win the Serie A scudetto from year to year with its tough rivals Juventus and also Inter Milan.

Teams like Real Madrid or Man City will not show their best performance in pre-season matches, they will only make some changes and this is different from AC Milan who are looking for their best performance with their new coach. However, even so, what has been seen in several pre-season matches, AC Milan's performance deserves to be appreciated, they played quite well and this is an indication that they will be able to do better next season and are ready to compete for the Serie A title.

Well I also initially thought like that because I think this pre-season match is not too important for Real Madrid or Manchester City so even though they exert a lot of energy this match will not count.
I also have to admit Milan's good performance lately even yesterday's match against Barcelona Milan won the match again with a penalty shootout, Milan shows itself increasingly aggressive.
But I don't understand why do trial matches need penalties to determine the winner when it doesn't really matter
