Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[samuraijin]

It is not easy for Paulo Fonseca to continue from what happened last season, every new coach needs a process to adapt and Paulo Fonseca must start building the AC Milan team from the beginning again so if AC Milan is currently experiencing difficulties I think it is still a natural thing because they are with their new coach

Indeed, the results achieved by AC Milan in several early matches this season are disappointing, it seems to be the opposite of their impressive pre-season results but I am still quite optimistic that Paulo Fonseca can make AC Milan better, maybe everything takes time.

The previous season Milan hadn't shone, ok but it hadn't gone badly. It had gone badly due to the investments made and not collected.
This year is going worse than with Pioli and with this coach, Pioli, he had not shone as he should have.
I smell dismissal...

Just waiting for the time to see the news of Stefano Pioli's dismissal because that's the only thing that might bring changes to AC Milan, with the dismissal of Stefano Pioli and at least looking for a coach who has a good impact on AC Milan because what we know is that Stefano Pioli is far from being suitable for AC Milan's game, so what AC Milan has to do is change the head coach and use new tactics by bringing in a head coach.

Maybe what you mean is Paulo Fonseca. Because Pioli was fired at the end of last season and replaced by Fonseca. Actually I see Pioli is much better than Fonseca. Even though Pioli last season couldn't make AC Milan develop better, at least he didn't make AC Milan start the season badly. And it was very rare for there to be internal problems between players and coaches at that time. Even though there has been one, it can be resolved quickly. Meanwhile, currently we see AC Milan starting the season badly and it is even made worse by internal problems between the players and the coach which seem to be incompatible. I don't think I would be surprised if there was a change of coach again. But if Fonseca can improve the situation quickly then he can definitely stay at AC Milan.

That's not an easy thing because before that is done, the AC Milan team management must also find a new coach who is more suited to the atmosphere of Serie A this season because what changes the character of the team for the better is the coach himself. So the good or bad of a team certainly comes from how a coach provides tactics and also how to train each player in the team because players who are usually good can also be bad if the tactics given by their coach are not suitable for them to use in every game.

Looking at AC Milan right now, you can see scratches everywhere, from defense to attack. More than anyone, Paulo Fonseca is probably feeling the pressure weighing on his shoulders. But he will continue to develop his team in the future. The opportunity for Paulo Fonseca to turn the situation around is still there. I think he needs to rely on the following 4 stars to make that happen: Alvaro Morata, Emerson Royal, Strahinja Pavlovic, Christian Pulisic.
And Paulo Fonseca needs to make adjustments in these areas: The first adjustment is that the central defender pair Fikayomi Tomori and new signing Strahinja Pavlovic do not coordinate well with each other when the opponent enters the penalty area. Second, the right wing was weak both defensively and offensively. Finally, AC Milan's formation left too many gaps in the middle of the pitch and right in goalkeeper Mike Maignan's penalty area.

I hope Paulo Fonseca will solve these problems so that AC Milan can soon find their first victory in Serie A this season, thereby rekindling their hopes of competing for the Scudetto with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli.

Unexpected teams getting unexpected results on early weeks may not be indicating their whole season. Some teams get some good results on a few weeks results, but then could become bad, and on contrary some good teams could have bad results on early weeks and then become much better later on as well. For example I believe that Juventus will finish very well this season, I think they have a chance to be the winner or second place, and Inter looks like the other team that will either win or be second place.

Milan looks bad and everyone says they are much worse, but I think they will recover. On the same logic, Udinese and Torino will not do that great, they had a decent start but they will not end up that top at all.

The crapshoot of early seasons is unique. Teams are rusty; fresh recruits are settling in; strategies are still under development. It is far too early to name someone or discount someone. Juventus is what? They seem to be a wounded lion. Though injuries were rampant last season, they nevertheless worked their way to a solid finish. Masters of the mid-season reversal are they. Look out when they start to move. Milan,? Sleeping on them is not advised. Though they start slowly, they have that Pioli magic. When it counts, they will be there. Remember, this is Serie A, not some Mickey Mouse league. Every team can defeat every other team on any one day

Actually I see Pioli is much better than Fonseca. Even though Pioli last season couldn't make AC Milan develop better, at least he didn't make AC Milan start the season badly. And it was very rare for there to be internal problems between players and coaches at that time. Even though there has been one, it can be resolved quickly.

Stefano Pioli's dismissal was a very good coach for AC Milan but it was just unfortunate for him that last season was not so much good for him because all his strategy was not bringing any positive outcome for the club, though the position AC Milan came out on the table was not bad but the management was not happy with the results because they expected him to do more better, for me I would have just prefer Stefano Pioli's dismissal to remain the AC Milan coach because he is very experienced so instead of firing him they should have just allow him to complete his contract because the contract was supposed to end on 2025 but they decided to cut it short for him, however let's see how far they will go under the coaching of Paulo Fonseca.

Milan was in a rush to sack Poili because i don't see any magic that he was to do last season to make Milan win Scudetto when we know that Inter was far ahead of every other clubs. Milan was the only club that was able to continue with the second position race and they finished secomd which was not a bad result.

Fonseca, they feel is better than Poili had turned the team up side down and cannot come out with a good performance. I feel for the players because they are the ones from from poor coaching system. Poili is far better than Fonseca. The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know.

Sometimes expectations don't go according to plan, in the case of AC Milan, the dismissal of Pioli and the appointment of Paulo Fonseca as the new manager was a gamble. Concerns are now covering everyone involved in the club, AC Milan have not been able to secure full points in the 3 matches that have been played. If you look at the opponents they face, AC Milan should be able to collect at least 6 points, by understanding the draw against Lazio. The problem is no longer just adaptation, but it seems that Paulo Fonseca is not the right person to occupy the position.

With such unstable performance, AC Milan will most likely not be able to create an impressive journey in the Champions League, they have the potential to be eliminated earlier like last season. If Paulo Fonseca still fails to bring AC Milan to perform consistently, then his term will end sooner. I am quite curious why the management and club officials did not pursue Conte signature before, before he finally joined Napoli. Now Paulo Fonseca fate is under pressure, he must immediately find the best solution to get the situation under control.

In my observation that Juventus is slowly much better than last season, they play without burden when handled by Thiago Motta it is clear that Thiago Motta's positive aura brings significant changes, so far Juventus have not conceded and that is an extraordinary thing, not in their game it is very visible, that all players adapt so quickly to their fellow teammates, this is what makes the difference in the Juventus squad this season with last season, where they found it very difficult to win at the end of the season, in fact they always get bad results even though they won the Copa Italia title.

What happened to Milan this season was beyond the expectations of fans who previously expected a lot of changes and improvements in their team performance, Pioli has spent a lot of time with Milan even though he managed to win the scudetto in season 2022 but it is still not enough for the management to keep him as a coach, Pioli is actually a great coach and even he has been able to continue to keep Milan in the top 4 so far,  So indeed his dismissal is a surprise to all of us, especially  Milan appointed Fonsesca as a coach who is indeed not better than Pioli so far, Pioli's unilateral dismissal requires Milan to pay considerable compensation and I think they are acting too rashly by doing it, especially if we know that Milan strategy and game during being coached by Pioli has improved a lot, But indeed the management may have other reasons to fire him even though some fans are against the dismissal.

Stefano Pioli currently not tied to any team because anyway, Stefano Pioli is also no longer the manager of Milan because this season Milan has a new manager and Milan's new manager this season is Paulo Fonseca. But indeed, based on rumors that Milan had a bad start to the  season at this moment, so Paulo Fonseca was threatened with being fired but even so, I personally don't know for sure whether that is a rumor that will become reality later or not.

Because at least, Milan is still giving Paulo Fonseca a chance until this moment and thus, maybe if Paulo Fonseca succeeds in making Milan improve its performance in the near future then  maybe Milan will not fire Paulo Fonseca. But yes, if maybe the results are really bad for the next few matches, then maybe that will make Milan really look for a new manager,but I think that is still too early a choice because to get to the middle of the season is still quite a long time.

Actually AC Milan was also not very good last season, they finished in the runner-up position because Juventus recorded 14 draws, from the number of defeats AC Milan recorded a greater number. In addition, AC Milan was eliminated too early in the Champions League, and they could not go further in the Europa League after being eliminated by AS Roma. Due to this reputation Stefano Pioli was fired and his new successor Paulo Fonseca has not shown any signs of improvement so far. Meanwhile, Juventus, who only focused on domestic competitions last season, ended the season by winning the Italian Cup trophy, although not so prestigious it can be entertainment for fans. However, Allegri managerial career was not saved due to his reaction which was considered excessive, and Thiago Motta who was appointed as the new successor seems to bring a breath of fresh air this season, it can be seen from the three matches they have gone through without defeat.
It seems that this season Inter Milan is only getting pressure from Juventus, although it is too early to say, we'll just have to wait and see.

I agree that Juventus was much better 90% of the season, I mean even the last four games were draws for Juventus, if they had like just two wins there instead, they would have been tied points, that's such an important difference, Juventus finished the season terribly and that's why they were third.

Milan isn't terrible, and they changed their manager, so I think they could need some time to get better adjusted with the managers system and maybe they can get better too. I think they will still finish high up, not sure at what place but once again a top four would make sense to me, I would believe that it would be a good thing to see them there because Milan spends a lot to be there, if they fail to be there then it's going to be a trouble for them and not going to benefit them financially.

I guess you didn't follow the news. What you said happened a few months ago, that's one of the reasons why AC Milan is in this league ranking right now
The team hasn't gotten used to each other, they're still playing very badly. If they continue like this in the coming weeks, the current manager will leave the team too. No one can accept a team like AC Milan being so unsuccessful

[Nanga Parbat]

Juventus is one of the strongest football clubs in the Italian Serie A league, this season they are already number 2 in the points table. So far they have faced three matches against the opposition in which they managed to win the first two matches but they drew goalless against Roma in their third match. Juventus will face a weaker team than them in their fourth match, Empoli Football Club. Maybe juventus has more chances to win this match because so far juventus has more wins against Empoli.

Juventus and Empoli last met each other on June 27 but both teams performed evenly in that match. In that match, Empoli Football Club had a great performance, even they were ahead of Juventus in all aspects of ball position and ball passing in that match. As a result, the match ended in a one-one goal draw. Maybe the result of that match will give inspiration and confidence to Empoli footballers.

And they should be because their performance is strong and impressive.  Each and every one of their players have strengthened themselves in their efforts to perform well and score more goals, making them the strongest team in the league.  And if they work harder than that they can win.  And this proves their strength.  And can even beat the number one team if they play smart and well.  He is very happy that he won two matches, he could have succeed in the third match in which his perform was not so good and the perform of the opposing team was faster than him.  But still their name is one of the strongest teams in the league and their position is also second.  Yes, if they do not take them weak if they play them with weak understand then their speed and performance will not be so special and by taking advantage of this, the opposing team can win.  And they have to play it very carefully.  And if you play with good performance, you will definitely get success in the match.

Good morning my friend! Pioli has already been sacked. Fonseca has been in charge since the beginning of the season. I assume you haven't watched any of Milan's games yet.  


When it comes to Milan, they are a mess. I talked about that. Fonseca isn't good enough yet. He somehow managed to be worse than Pioli so far. This makes me wish Milan to keep Pioli instead.    But I hope Fonseca proves me wrong in time. I would really like to see Milan doing successful work. The squad is decent but could be better of course. They just don't focus on bringing star players. Even if they spend lots of money, they prefer to do it on as many players as possible instead of signing less but more quality ones.

[Roseline492]

Actually I see Pioli is much better than Fonseca. Even though Pioli last season couldn't make AC Milan develop better, at least he didn't make AC Milan start the season badly. And it was very rare for there to be internal problems between players and coaches at that time. Even though there has been one, it can be resolved quickly.

Exactly my point because it would have been more better if AC Milan would have maintain the performance they had last season even if they did not win any major League than the poor performance they have become now, the management think that changing coach would be the solution to there problems without knowing that they are making the whole situation worster for them, the way I'm viewing the whole thing AC Milan will disappoint there fans this season because they will perform very poor to the extent they will be wishing for the previous season performance, though I no that the club management wants to achieve a greater heights but there calculation was totally wrong.

I want to believe you mistakenly mentioned Stefano Pioli instead of Paulo Fonseca because Pioli was relieved of his duty as AC Milan boss after the end of last season. Paulo Fonseca who's the current manager of the Rosonerri have been poor with his tactical approaches in the league games he's overseen so far but I think he should get more time to prove himself since he's barely spent less than three months at the club. Changing Fonseca now I think will be too fast when we're yet to see his best for AC Milan

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Exactly my point because it would have been more better if AC Milan would have maintain the performance they had last season even if they did not win any major League than the poor performance they have become now, the management think that changing coach would be the solution to there problems without knowing that they are making the whole situation worster for them, the way I'm viewing the whole thing AC Milan will disappoint there fans this season because they will perform very poor to the extent they will be wishing for the previous season performance, though I no that the club management wants to achieve a greater heights but there calculation was totally wrong.

As I said before, the main problem at AC Milan is the defense line and they always concede in every match this means that if they want to change this situation, AC Milan needs to improve their defense, AC Milan have the ability to score goals but that means nothing if they always concede goals. It is a big challenge for them to find a solution before the next transfer window open or they can implement a defensive game. In the next match AC Milan will face Venezia well that's the right time to collect points because Venezia is in worse performance.

[Weawant]

In my observation that Juventus is slowly much better than last season, they play without burden when handled by Thiago Motta it is clear that Thiago Motta's positive aura brings significant changes, so far Juventus have not conceded and that is an extraordinary thing, not in their game it is very visible, that all players adapt so quickly to their fellow teammates, this is what makes the difference in the Juventus squad this season with last season, where they found it very difficult to win at the end of the season, in fact they always get bad results even though they won the Copa Italia title.

Of a truth, Juventus is much better than they have been before especially in rhw closing of last season, their current form is way much better and they aren't looking like they may decline but my fears still remains that this is very similar to what happened last season so chances are that they may repeat it except they have a sustainable strategy this time if not it will be another season of struggling to finish amongst the top ten or worse case avoiding relegation. Copa Italia was not a targeted trophy I supposed but for the sake of making something of the season, they had to use that to make up for all the lapsus of the season so this season I expect better from them.

And worse, the next few matches are not an easy test for AC Milan. There are several strong opponents waiting for them both in Serie A and in the bigger league, UCL.


from Google/AC-Milan-Matches-Fixtures

At least, this is the closest list until early next month. This is enough to make AC have to make extra efforts so that their performance does not get worse because their confidence might also be affected. Fonseca also has more and more obstacles.
