Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[tusandii]

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 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.

Milan fans should not be too happy with the preseason results because Paulo Fonseca has to go through big challenges in every Serie A match and also matches in other competitions.
Always winning in preseason matches does not guarantee to perform better and also we can't say Milan has better players because Inter Milan for me is more qualified.
We can watch later when Milan's first match will be against Torino on the 18th and that's when we can see how Milan really performs.

One thing we must remember is that Milan does not always use the main players in preseason matches and we must always remember that Serie A has a very competitive competition.

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.

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.

No player is bigger than the club. Chiesa was also not called by Motta to join the squad. I do support him leaving the club instead of staying at Juventus much longer. It will be better for Chiesa to get his crap together and leave Juventus as soon as possible.

Though you don't like it, it seems Motta is not seeing him fit for his strategy. Chiesa deserves a club that can respect him.

I can't believe how Chiesa is out of the project. And it's really sad to see him go.

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

From Ac Milan's performance in preseason games, I’m very sure that Ac Milan is going to have a good season next season, in pre-season games no team has performed well like the way Ac Milan did, Ac Milan played against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona and non of them can beat Ac Milan, although pre-season is just a friendly match pre-season also show how the team is serious, Ac Milan has many good players that they need to give a chance to show their talent, A player like Samuel Chukuweze need to be having more time to play for Ac Milan because his performance in pre-season game shows that he needs to play more games.

The Serie A league is going to be interesting next season because I don’t think Inter Milan is going to be the favorite if the season starts, the reason why I said that is because of the way the teams in this league are playing in pre-season games, many of this teams are very serious and I believe they can challenge inter Milan, it’s just some days to go for the league to start and we will all know how to predict their results.

AC Milan did something very impressive with their new coach in this preseason, of course this will be a good reference for them to play in the league that is getting closer, and I hope Fonseca can continue to develop from what they did in this preseason, but I can't guarantee they will do something perfect next season because playing in preseason of course will not produce something great when the real competition is not preseason so for them AC Milan must commit to what they are doing now with a victory that can be maximized.

I really hope that with the return of a great AC Milan will make the next Serie A season more competitive, not only Inter continues to develop but also AC Milan will do the same, and I hope AC Milan also adds some new players to do great things next season like in their midfield I think it's less than satisfactory so I hope Fonseca is sensitive to this and makes a quick evaluation for AC Milan to compete to win the Serie A competition next season.

But isn't it true that in the past few season while playing for Juventus he has also shown that he has many matches and Federico Chiesa has also made quite good contribution, it would be shame if Thiago Motta didn't include him in the plan.
Indeed, if Thiago Motta doesn't include Federico Chiesa in the plan, it can be concluded that the best step is for him to join better team and can provide opportunities for him to develop with more matches in the future.
I don't believe that Federico Chiesa is on the sales list because he is valuable asset for Juventus and by developing his quality, Juventus can have great players in the future, but it cannot be denied that Thiago Motta did choose to replace quite lot of players at the beginning of his coaching period.
But for now, AS Roma is the first team that is quite serious about bringing in Federico Chiesa and it is reported that negotiations are taking place, besides that there is also AC Milan which is quite widely reported to have the same interest as AS Roma to get Federico Chiesa.

Every coach has a different view and he has the right to choose players according to his wishes that are suitable for the team that will be built, so there is no other way for Chiesa than to find another team to be able to make his career future better.
Despite the many fans who regret this, Motta knows better what he needs and I think now some rumors about Chiesa's new team have spread so let's just wait for the official announcement of Chiesa leaving Juventus and I think it is much better for the player and the team.

Fonseca is a good manager. He could be called as a winner one as well considering his successes in Ukraine and Portugal. This isn't his first time in the Serie A at the same time. He managed Roma before.

However he didn't have a good time period there.    After doing even worse in his second season he left. I wouldn't like to see it happening again with Milan this time. Milan are a team with a bigger potential normally.

When it comes to the transfer window, I can't say Milan has been very active. Strahinja Pavlović, Morata and Álex Jiménez are the only signings. They have spent only 36 million euros so far while making sales worth nearly 30 million. I think they should go for more players to get stronger.

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 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.

Yes. I was also surprised to see the result of this match because our expectations proved to be wrong .  AC Milan football team won the match against Barcelona Football team and we equal competition in this match ,no team was ahead in the end of match. But after that both teams strike penalties and then match was decided in favor of AC Milan team. AC Milan team score was 4 in comparison to 3 score of Barcelona  team. Barcelona team tried their best but they were unlucky in this match but they should focus on next matches But these are friendly matches and these matches are best option for the small teams to grow up and show great performance in next tournament.

Since the beginning of his arrival at Juventus, Motta has emphasized that he will overhaul every line of the Juventus squad and he has proven his words at this time, several of Juventus mainstay players last season actually had to experience bad luck after Motta arrived,  so I think what Motta is doing now is very cruel  , Chiesa is one of the players who is not included in Motta plans even though in the last season he was a consistent player and made a big contribution to Juventus, but It seems that Motta thinks if the squad left by Allegri has many shortcomings and that is why very few of last season players were retained by Motta.
Last season, Motta succeeded in bringing Bologna through to the Champions League without a luxurious squad, so he knows what he is doing now to make Juventus better next season, apart from that, I see that Juventus has given full authority to Motta in handling the current team and of course that makes Motta very free to do whatever he wants.

His work in Roma was not so good, maybe he is not very comfortable working in Serie A, but despite this he is ready to try again with Milan. But you see with Roma it did not work out not only for him, Mourinho also achieved very mediocre results (I am talking specifically about Serie A). In friendly matches Milan achieves good results, but these matches do not matter at all, so these achievements remain conditional. Fonseca got the opportunity to strengthen the team, Giroud left the team, but they got Morata, which is perhaps even better.
