Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Gallar]

De Rossi's got big balls, I'll give him that. Making Roma a strong striking team? That's not even close to being enough to describe it. It looks like Dovbyk and these young guns could do well. But can De Rossi get them to work together as a team?

I'm sure De Rossi will need a lot of time to unite the new players that Roma has with the old players. The reason is, the players brought in by Roma were only brought in a few weeks ago, so of course the chemistry of all the players brought in by Roma in the transfer market this time is not yet fully formed. But even so, if for example players like Dobvyk, Soule, Enzo Le Fee can have good chemistry, I'm sure Roma will be a better team next season. So in this phase the players and coaches must really be able to build solidarity and good chemistry with each other. Because this is one of the most important assets for a football team to achieve maximum results.

Roma did get better last year under De Rossi, but that was only for half the season. It's now time to act. Expectations are through the roof. This all-out attack plan? Dangerous. In the back, it leaves you open. But can De Rossi change? He's young and has a lot of promise

De Rossi is going to have to prove himself this season. Can he show that he's not only a great motivator but also a smart strategist? Rome: Can he take them to the next level? We'll see. The time is running out

I think De Rossi can definitely bring Roma to be even better next season, because the evidence of half a season of coaching at Roma is a very strong benchmark that De Rossi is a coach who has very good qualities. Because, it is rare for a coach to be able to bring about change in a fairly short time. However, De Rossi proved that he only needed a few weeks to make Roma completely change the previous season. Because what I know for sure, before Roma was coached by De Rossi, their performance was quite bad, even though they were coached by a great coach like Mourinho. However, after De Rossi took over Roma's coaching chair, Roma really changed drastically at that time. So I am sure that in the coming season Roma's performance will definitely be much better, especially now that Roma has brought in some really great players. One of them is Dobvyk, who was Laliga's top scorer in the previous season. So with this, it would not be wrong to say that Roma could be a strong enough competitor to become champions in Serie A next season.

De Rossi definitely wants to achieve better things with Roma in a new season but between his will and final result, there will be differences, small or big only. In the last season, De Rossi came and changed Roma from defensive, counter attacking to mainly attacking in tactics and their team scored many goals, played very goal productive in early matches with De Rossi. After that, honey moon stopped and Roma started to feel difficult to have goals and winnings. At the season ending, result is not to good and certainly is not better than Mourinho's contributions for Roma in two previous seasons.

Because what I know for sure, before Roma was coached by De Rossi, their performance was quite bad, even though they were coached by a great coach like Mourinho.

If you compare Roma position in Serie A when Mourinho was fired and position at the season ending with De Rossi, difference is small.

Wojciech Szczęsny terminate his contract with juventus today.

Yeah, i was reading it, and he is the only player I truly feel bad about forcing out.

He is now a free agent and he will may join Monza or retire according to rumors.

AFAIK, Juventus has announced DiGregorio as their new goalie. He was former Monza's goalie. That could be a swap between Juventus and Monza if Tek(Wojciech Szczęsny) goes to the Monza.

But it's kinda weird to see none of the big clubs is interested in taking Tek as their new goalie. Hmmm.. that's pretty interesting to wait for Tek's future club.

So from the next game in 2 days, Juventus will have a new starter goalkeeper.

It's DiGregorio who's gonna be a new goalie of Juve in two days. DiGregorio better be ready. Tek leaves big shoes to fill, and that's not an ez task for DiGregorio to replace Tek's position.

Wojciech Szczęsny terminate his contract with juventus today.

Yeah, i was reading it, and he is the only player I truly feel bad about forcing out.

To me I'd say some players are really not impressed with the way the Juventus side are handling their business, is as if they're just moving on circles not doing anything to improve the squad and if you check how busy the other teams are and how the old ladies are taking thing too, you'd be tempted to stop playing for the team. Who knows there must have been some internal issue between the former Arsenal goalkeeper and the management.
I read somewhere some months ago that the Gunners were ready to bring him back, that was when Raya hasn't been signed as a full player of Arsenal but after some weeks the whole rumor died off, so is not really clear as to why he (Szczęsny) decided to part ways with the club.

I think it would be too ambitious for Como to be the favorite as a team that is ready to compete at the top of the standings, even though they are able to take advantage of the opportunity to improve on a large scale in the transfer market, but look at other big teams who already have an extraordinary mentality. Promotion teams often give surprises, but if they are not able to maintain their level of play in every match then they will compete at the bottom of the table or compete to get out of the relegation zone.
Every season there are always lots of surprises like last season, but this season Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are the favorite teams at the top of the standings. Moreover, Inter Milan's strength is already very strong with the tactics that have been prepared by Inzaghi. Also for Roma they are targeting a place in the champions league this season so there is a lot we have to look at before saying they are the favorites.

I also think Como has small chance of being top team even if they can improve their squad. Big teams like Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have experience and strong mindset that helps them to win. New teams can surprise us but they need to play well consistently to avoid relegation. This season Inter Milan is strong because of their coach Inzaghi tactics as you already mentioned. Roma also wants to play in Champions League so we can not say Como is the favorite yet. They need to show they can play well all the time and have a deep squad to compete with the best teams.

In my opinion, Como cannot give their best next season, indeed they are currently strengthened by legendary players like Varane and have a coach who has a game in the middle, but I seem to doubt the strength they have because they have or buy old players and this will make it difficult for them, how to compete with other big teams, by having one famous center back Varane can't make them defend solidly how about from the other side, seeing from those who were promoted to Serie A I think Parma will return to their old dream because why are they better than Como they are a team that already has good experience in Serie A before and so I think they will make something best for him in Serie A next season. Parma itself has the ideal strength, they are technically very good and in my opinion they are more considered to escape the relegation zone and if you look at the difficulties of Parma who will lead from the three promotion teams, seeing Como who are very active in the transfer market to strengthen their team does not mean they will be reckless but they do not have or see the mentality of a club that once competed in Sei A but on the contrary Parma has that and in my opinion they will give a surprise with their return to Serie A next season.

De Rossi has managed to improve Roma performance in a short time despite inheriting a squad that was not performing optimally under Mourinho's control. In half a season he was able to prove himself very worthy of the full trust of Roma management, his success made the management give him an additional contract. His presence as a coach seemed to give new hope to Roma who had not won a trophy for a very long time, and the management allocated a large amount of funds to improve the quality of the squad led by De Rossi.

The squad overhaul began to be carried out gradually, several players who had not contributed much to the club began to be released and replaced with quality players. Now Roma strength will increase after successfully bringing in quality players, one of Roma successes in the summer transfer market was bringing in Artem Dovbyk who performed well with Girona.

Roma have finished sixth in the table for the last three seasons. The team could not make any progress. With the help of De Rossi, Roma are now keen to further strengthen their squad. Roma played 26 matches after De Rossi took over as coach. Out of this Roma won 14 matches and lost only 6 matches. From this it can be assumed that Roma's performance so far is quite good with the help of De Rossi.

One of La Liga's top scorers Artem Dovbyk is now in Roma's squad. Roma management spent 34 million to add Dovbyk to the squad. DOvbyk managed to score 24 goals and 8 assists last season. And Dovbyk's fitness is very good. However, if Dovbyk settles in well with Roma's players, the Roma squad will become even stronger.

Actually when Daniele De Rossi became Roma's manager he was initially doing well for the club of which most football analyst were applauding his managerial experience than that of Jose Mourinho but at some point he loss focus and Roma Began to underperform.
Jose Mourinho was doing bad for Roma as at the time Daniele De Rossi was hired and the club's management just feel they are paying Jose Mourinho too high when they can't even get to the Champions League but the club should have understood that before they can reach the Champions League it will requires them to make some sacrifices and and even though Jose Mourinho didn't achieve more for the club but they should have given him some consideration for winning the Europa conference league after going 14 years without a trophy and I believe that had it been Jose Mourinho was left to continue he would probably take the club to the Champions League.
Of a truth Roma did terribly under Jose Mourinho because as at the time of his departure the club was not doing fine i could remember.  For Daniele De Rossi he needs to be more focused this season so that he can possibly take Roma to the Champions League.

In Jose Mourinho's last season at Roma, things got worse. But in the season before that, Jose Mourinho also made Roma stronger. And Roma was even able to reach the European league final. after previously winning the title in the European Conference League. But the brave decision taken by the Roma club to replace Jose Mourinho with De Rossi also deserves appreciation. And I am sure that initially the Roma club will not hire De Rossi for the next season. Which indicates that initially the club only brought in De Rossi to fill a temporary void. But the results were unexpected and De Rossi proved that he could be a reliable coach. So in the end De Rossi got his contract extension there. And yes, at one point De Rossi also lost focus and that happened at the end of last season. But fortunately this didn't happen for a long time. And Roma can return to their best performance.

This season will be a real test for De Rossi. And yeah it's going to be a long season for De Rossi. Because in this season he was responsible from the start for re-forming the Roma squad. Meanwhile, last season he only continued Mourinho's work.

It was interesting to see if Roma actually trust De Rossi to bring in good results. They did not trust José Mourinho and if I remember correctly, he was bringing in same kind of results as De Rossi is bringing in right now. Well, ‘was’ bringing in , in the last season.

Now it is the start of a new season and I don’t know if their results are going to be kind of the same. I am not expecting a big improvement from Roma to be honest. That’s the thing, if they cannot handle this period, they will have to bring in another new coach. And who can guarantee that the new coach is going to perform or bring him better results instantly? But I also have doubts that he might not bring in good results even if enough time is given to him. It might look harsh but it is what I think.

From what De Rossi has shown since he coached Roma since Jose Mourinho left I think there is nothing to doubt, De Rossi has exceeded many people's expectations but regarding the future will be better or not that no one knows we just have to wait for next season when De Rossi builds this team according to his wishes.

I saw some of Roma's transfers and I think it's good enough so that they will most likely be better next season, I'm quite optimistic about that.

De Rossi was indeed able to make Roma improve rapidly last season. And well it exceeded everyone's expectations. But last season De Rossi only continued the squad that had been formed by Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile, the real challenge looks like it will start when this season starts. The Roma squad this time was actually formed by De Rossi. Even though many of the players are still the same, several additions have been made in the transfer market. And I think it is indeed a very good player transfer. Moreover, I like their new striker who was Laliga's top scorer last season at the Girona club. I don't know what De Rossi said to the player, but I applaud De Rossi for succeeding in convincing the player to move to Roma.

I also want to see how AS Roma starts this season with De Rossi still being coached, because the level of change that De Rossi has made while coaching AS Roma has also been quite clear and that can at least be a good hope again for AS Roma fans in the season that will start again soon. I also have no doubts about De Rossi's abilities and also want to see how AS Roma can rank in the top four in the season that will start this month because Roma is a big team that must provide fierce competition to its rivals in Serie A.

Wojciech Szczęsny terminate his contract with juventus today.
He is now a free agent and he will may join Monza or retire according to rumors.
So from the next game in 2 days, Juventus will have a new starter goalkeeper.

They still need 3 more players and only 15 days to take them.

Juventus took too long to make this decision and it actually had quite a bad impact on Wojciech Szczęsny's career. Initially he was linked to Al-Nassr and would be Ronaldo's teammate but there Al-Nassr has got a new young goalkeeper so this will not have an effect. Now Wojciech Szczęsny is rumored to another Serie A team and I think if there is no other choice then Monza could be his next destination.

Talking about retirement, I think it's too soon for him because his performance is not that bad at his old age and to strengthen a mediocre team it can still be justified. The most important thing is how the deal goes well. Three players for Juventus in 15 I think it's a very short time, I think Juventus will have a hard time and maybe Thiago Motta will take whoever he wants.

De Rossi can really be expected to bring Roma to a better ranking in Serie A. But my hope is that Roma can also win the European League title this season. Because it will prove that De Rossi has succeeded in bringing Roma to a higher level. Because in the last two seasons Roma have always failed in the European League. In the Mourinho Era, Roma was only able to reach the final round and failed. And last season, Roma wasn't even able to reach the final round at all. And if this season Roma doesn't make it to the final in the Europa League then De Rossi will only get criticism from people.

Wojciech Szczęsny and Juventus have reached mutual contract and right now become free agent players, actually he has one year later contract left with Juventus but after signing new goal keeper make Wojciech Szczęsny loss his position and the management reach mutual contract for him.
After playing seven season with Juventus and winning three trophies, finally the era of Wojciech Szczęsny over and right now he tries to get new club keep stay with European teams or accepting offer from Saudi Pro League teams are interested for signing him.

Talking about retirement, I think too early for Wojciech Szczęsny because still on the top performance and he has potential for playing with top European team behind his age still 34 years old. Juventus make huge rotation under Thiago Motta era and he was sacked many important players for Juventus last season not only with Wojciech Szczęsny but also Federico Chiesa not including in his tactician for next season.

[SmartCharpa]

I agree with you. Juventus performed poorly in the preseason tour. But as you said the new coach will need time to adapt. I won't even be harsh on him for one season because it's not easy to adapt to a team. But at least Thiago Motta didn't really disappoint the fans by getting a bad rating at the end of the season. Their first match is against COMO, a promoted club who is said to have made a lot of good signings in the transfer window this season. We can see how Motta's tactics will play in the first match. I expect a good performance from Juventus because I don't think anyone would have predicted COMO to win that match.

You get a point here, we cannot blame Motta for the results of the pre-season games because he is new to the area and it is difficult to adapt to a new team. But the reason I believe we should hold him responsible for their poor performance in the pre-season games is that this is not his first time managing a team in the Seria A, his previous club was in the Seria A, and he managed Bologna last season, finishing in fifth place, so I do not expect him to struggle to adapt to Juventus because they play in the same league. However, nobody would like to predict that Como will win their next game since they just got promoted to Seria A. Juventus has @1.36 odds on the betting site, while Como has @9.59 odds, showing that Juventus will win their first game of the season.

Inter Milan is still the favorite this season to win the Scudetto,

I don't think Inter Milan will be my favorite team to win the Scudetto next season based on their pre-season performance, however, at this point, I believe AC Milan is a strong team to win the championship next season due to their pre-season performance, as they defeated Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Barcelona in the penalty shootout.

I never give so much importance to the preseason summer preparation, and it is true that Inter did not play very well in the summer games but it must be said that they never employed the official lineup, Milan played against great teams but none of them employed the starters. These are results that can lead to misjudgment. To date for me Remains Inter as the favorite to win the Scudetto, in second place I put Atalanta who last they made great performances

[Jatiluhung]

Well, if we judge a club only based on their performance in pre-season then it is clear that AC Milan could be the favorite for this season in Serie A. It's just that we know that pre-season is just pre-season. Where all the clubs did not play seriously in that match. Player rotation, strategy testing and other observations are the goals of pre-season matches. So sometimes we can't expect what is shown in the pre-season to remain the same in the actual season. Because some strong teams like Man City even lost in pre-season but I'm sure almost everyone here will agree that Man City will not lose in the actual match.

My favorites for Serie A this season are still in flux. But I'll probably make a judgment after a few weeks have passed.

[Blitzboy]

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.

AC Milan have been successful in all the matches they have played in the beginning of the season. In the warm-up matches AC Milan did not play against easy opponents but they played against tough opponents and they won. Although the strength of a team is not really known in the preliminaries, AC Milan's attacking style of play gives some idea that they will surely compete with Inter Milan next season. The teams of the Italian league are not very strong, that's why the competition with AC Milan and Inter Milan is high every season and one of these two teams becomes the champion. 

Last season Inter Milan were champions and AC Milan were runners up but there was a lot of difference between champions and runners up. Inter Milan won by a lot of points, on the contrary, Milan had less points despite being the runners-up. However, I think AC Milan will improve their performance significantly in the next season and they will have a tough competition with Inter Milan.

No doubt, AC Milan's started well. Victory over City? Impressive. But those Real and Barca losses? They showed flaws. Preseason has limits. Despite his good record, Fonseca faces a tough challenge. It will take time to assemble Milan's team.

Under Inzaghi, Inter is stable. That constancy Milan wants is there. Milan has some interesting new players, but its about how they fit in. Look, I want Milan to succeed. Great club with a deep history. But this season's gonna be more about building and finding their footing. Inter is stable and experienced. Potential doesnt win championships for Milan. It requires effort, devotion, and luck.

De Rossi can really be expected to bring Roma to a better ranking in Serie A. But my hope is that Roma can also win the European League title this season. Because it will prove that De Rossi has succeeded in bringing Roma to a higher level. Because in the last two seasons Roma have always failed in the European League. In the Mourinho Era, Roma was only able to reach the final round and failed. And last season, Roma wasn't even able to reach the final round at all. And if this season Roma doesn't make it to the final in the Europa League then De Rossi will only get criticism from people.

Roma activities in the transfer market are proof that the management really supports De Rossi, the money they spent in the transfer market has succeeded in attracting several top players. Roma future is increasingly clear, now under De Rossi guidance Roma performance is increasing. Trophies are their goal this season, De Rossi must be able to make Roma walk on a positive path to win the title. The competition in the Europa League is not like in the domestic league, Roma must perform optimally if they want to win the second caste trophy in Europe.

[W Jr.]

From what De Rossi has shown since he coached Roma since Jose Mourinho left I think there is nothing to doubt, De Rossi has exceeded many people's expectations but regarding the future will be better or not that no one knows we just have to wait for next season when De Rossi builds this team according to his wishes.

I saw some of Roma's transfers and I think it's good enough so that they will most likely be better next season, I'm quite optimistic about that.

De Rossi was indeed able to make Roma improve rapidly last season. And well it exceeded everyone's expectations. But last season De Rossi only continued the squad that had been formed by Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile, the real challenge looks like it will start when this season starts. The Roma squad this time was actually formed by De Rossi. Even though many of the players are still the same, several additions have been made in the transfer market. And I think it is indeed a very good player transfer. Moreover, I like their new striker who was Laliga's top scorer last season at the Girona club. I don't know what De Rossi said to the player, but I applaud De Rossi for succeeding in convincing the player to move to Roma.

Many big teams were waiting at the door to sign Artem Dovbyk. Roma took him away from other teams. He had a very good La Liga season last year. He became the top scorer in La Liga with Girona. While I thought he would be taken by a big Spanish team, Roma added him to their squad in a great way and quickly. I am sure he will perform similarly in Serie A. Roma has not had a big problem with forwards in recent years. It seems they will not have much trouble this year either.
