Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[arimamib]

Even though I might expect a surprise from Como, it is difficult to predict that Como will be the favorite. And Como has indeed brought in many players. And they can be said to make faster moves than other teams. but the level of players they brought in was actually not a high enough level of player. It's just that their enthusiasm in building the squad deserves appreciation.

Some doubts regarding Juventus are also normal. but Juventus has better squad depth. So it is very likely that Juventus will still be favorites and win the match. So I think betting on Juventus is the wisest thing to do.

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 read this news:

AS Roma are still waiting to receive an official bid from Al Qadsiah — while Saudi club advanced in contract talks with Dybala.

Negotiations continue while value of Al Qadsiah bid will be crucial step to understand if deal gets done.

I confess that I am shocked. Roma have already lost Lukaku, when they lose Dybala, the team will not have good results. When Mourinho arrived at Roma and became coach, one of the very good things he achieved was to sign Dybala and bring in Lukaku. I do not understand why Roma did not make an effort to have Lukaku permanently and now they want to sell Dybala, who is a great player who has contributed a lot to the team's good results. It is clear how well Roma plays when Dybala is on the field. I also do not understand why Dybala is agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia when he is still young, he is 30 years old and could play another 3 seasons in Europe and then move to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he has been very unlucky with the Argentine national team. He does not even play in friendlies. It seems that the coach of the Argentine national team does not like Dybala. If Dybala leaves for Saudi Arabia, then he will hardly return to play for any big team in Europe.

Como is actually an interesting team recently. Their main transfer policy has been like to sign some old but decent players. Pepe Reina is an example for that but he is 41 years old now.    Audero is a good signing for the GK role by the way. He would probably be the main GK. They have signed players like Varane and Belotti as well. Really great moves. Varane is the most valuable player in the squad by far.

Agree. Como is interesting team because they could show great performance in the last season and now they are building their team with some good players. Although they sign old players like Reina, Varane, Moreno, and Belotti but I think these players still can play with good performance. For a new team in Serie A, I think Fàbregas has nice squad. I think Fàbregas only target for the top 12, the current squad looks enough for the target. Well, let's see how Como can perform in Serie A for the new season.

On paper, of course one expects Juventus to win anyway. But so far I didn't see them ready for the new season. At least the friendly results tell us that. I would like to be proven wrong by Motta of course. Let's see. 

No doubt Juventus will win against Como. Juventus is in another level, their squad looks much better. However, it is good for Como to get an experience playing against one of the top teams in Serie A.

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.

[jaberwock]

Yes you are right Juventus last season had problems in their attack line and and looks blunt, I thought Juventus would make improvements in that section but it turned out Thiago Motta only recruited 2 central midfielders which I think is not really needed, Juventus needs a productive striker if they want to compete with Inter Milan and Milan at the top of the standings if they haven't fixed that don't expect them to be able to achieve better results than before.

In addition to having to get good strikers to improve the quality of the team's strength, the two central midfielders that Thiago Motta has recruited for Juventus actually won't be too bad for the Juventus team if the two players can help their own strikers in the Juventus front line. But for the strikers, the best will still be needed so that a team like Juventus can be superior in the midfield and front line because last season it was very clear that the line was indeed quite blunt so that Juventus was not very consistent in getting wins in Serie A.

They definitely built a good club, good enough to go for a title change. Many people are forgetting that Juventus went ahead of Inter last season, yes they did not finish that greatly but they did alright during the season but then got very bad, which should be very important case and I believe that we are going to face a lot of issues without a doubt. I know that it will not be simple, and I know that we are going to face some issues but that doesn't mean that we are going to be fine, it just means that we can make it work one way or another.

We need to believe that we are going to face something much more stronger in any other case, so it is not going to be easy. We need to bring that type of force and then keep it going instead of get worse during the season, if they do that then they are going to be fine without an issue. Hopefully we can make it work eventually and that should not be all that complicated, just need more depth in the squad.

[Fuso.hp]

It must be admitted that AC Milan journey in the pre-season tour was impressive, but personally I assume that the performance cannot necessarily be repeated in the official match later. The pre-season tour seems easy because there are no targets and pressures, each manager can freely determine the starting XI, without having to worry about the opponents they will face, that's what we understand. We know that AC Milan is able to beat heavyweight teams like Man City, Madrid and Barcelona in the pre-season tour, but if Milan faces these three teams in the Champions League next season, the final result of the match is likely to be the opposite.

The appointment of Paulo Fonseca as Pioli successor has changed AC Milan style of play a little, they look more aggressive, and that's good enough to overcome every challenge next season. The competition for the Scudetto will be more difficult than last season, I predict Inter Milan will no longer be alone in topping the Serie A standings. We are all certainly very curious about AC Milan performance when they have to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli in the top four of the standings. Not to mention if Atalanta, Bologna and Roma appear surprising, they also should not be ignored.

The matches that took place were only warm up matches here no team gave importance to these matches so they performed as best they could and the most important thing here is that the players tried to keep themselves injury free. In the case of big teams you may have noticed that every team manager has not played any good players in these matches so that they don't get injured now. If there is a win or a loss before taking the field with such a team, I don't think such a win or loss will have any effect on any team in the main stage match. But I can predict that AC Milan can do well because their performance was a bit offensive and they also paid enough attention to defense in these warm-up matches.  

The main thing is that first a new season will start, each team will play a few matches and then predict how any team can do in the next season.

[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.

[Farma]

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.
