Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[pusaka]

Let's not forget that PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced in the Champions League platform. And Inter Milan basically lost against Luis Enrique's strategy. Inter Milan did not understand Enrique's match strategy. PSG's players attacked very quickly and put Milan under pressure at the beginning of the match. Inzaghi should learn from this defeat.

In that you are absolutely right, we are talking about a renewed Luis Enrique who is much more mature, who understands and has a very different and good vision of football, he has proven to be much more efficient than many of the favorite teams, I remember that PSG was on the verge of being Eliminated with Madrid, but they managed to get ahead, not bad, I congratulate them and they well deserve it, but of all of them the one I liked the most in how he played was Dembelé who is now hated and criticized by the Barcelonistas lol.

Luis Enrique is quick in making decisions and not only quick, he can also be very mature in considering it beforehand, so I think this is one of the things that finally brought great success to him and also his players this season.

If we talk about the final, he can really read Inzaghi's game, on the other hand Inzaghi can't keep up with making changes quickly. Maybe it's also because of other factors, for example when they have to fall behind in such a short time, it must have a big impact on the mentality of the players so that they have difficulty maintaining their focus balance.

Inter Milan basically lost every title because they focused only on the Champions League matches. The team qualified for the Champions League final. However, Inter Milan faced a shameful defeat against PSG in the final.

This season Inter Milan putting a lot of effort just to make their aim achieve that’s they where focusing more in the champions league and abounded the others league, and they still failed at the end of day after a big defeated against PSG. A lot of people was very surprised, because with the way they serious in the champions league this season I wasn’t expected that they win the final.

Inter Milan had a big chance to win the Coppa Italia and Serie A titles. But the team played badly in important matches. For example, they lost by a large margin against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia. Inter Milan would have been the champion if they had won the match against Lazio in Serie A.

They had severals opportunities that supposed lead them to win the Serie A, but unfortunately they didn’t make happen as they lose guard by playing poorly in some of their matches against. Because Napoli that was leading the top of the standing is only 1 points they was ahead of the Inter Milan; instead of them to use that chances to over take them from the table but they refused that’s how the Napoli take dominated the series A league.

[Mayor of ogba]

I also don't understand that point of view. People are looking at only what happened at the end. Yeah it wasn't a good ending for Inter in the Serie A and Champions League. But these guys were still one of the most successful 2 teams in both tournaments.  

Actually nobody can dispute Inter Milan from being a successful team even as they missed the two trophies and they wouldn't be far from the third best successful in the whole Italian league currently and there potentials has not left them yet because they would always go to every season with confidence of what they have and could give, actually even if Inter Milan was messed up by PSG but from the clubs they sent home before getting there they're definitely a successful club but just like other teams has ones fall and rose to become champion, Inter Milan will not be exempted from it because they might also rise again to winn.

I don't know why you guys are giving credit to a team that is as worst as arsenal hu? How can you explain someone giving up a league title for a champions League title, they knew too well if they have given their best in the league title they would have won it but yet they chose to put more energy on champions league, that is more less of a person that pour away he's water in a water jar hoping for a rain drop just because the clouds was stormy now no rain no water, now they are only guarantee of a ucl competition going home trophyless to me I'd say it's unwise, what makes you successful at every end of a season, is it coming out as a runner up or coming first with a gold medal, to my own opinion they disappointed me and someone of their fans, it trophy that makes you successful not how good you play, spurs are more successful than inter Milan this season. That's my takes on this

So many football fans believed that Arsenal gave up on the Premier League title this season to pursue the UEFA Champions League trophy, but that isn't true because Arsenal knew too well they couldn't beat Liverpool in the Premier League title race, so they had to forsake the Premier League title and put all their energy and hope into the UEFA Champions League competition if they could end up winning the UEFA Champions League trophy and make their fans proud since they already bottled the Premier League title, which they even failed in their mission to win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Cristian Chivu is the new manager of Inter. Chivu doesn't have much experience. Former Inter player and coach in the lower age categories. He had a short adventure with Parma, that's all. I guess the president of Inter doesn't value experience in this job. They went from a two-time Champions League finalist manager to a manager with only 4 months of league experience. I'm curious to see the consequences of this. It could be a fairytale or a terrible disaster for them.

Maybe this is a general trend? Xavi, Xabi, Kompany, maybe Slot, etc. Coaches with no experience at the top level are given a chance and sometimes the results exceed all expectations. Maybe it's the same case or maybe Inter management is confident that they will have enough "advantage" in players to take Serie A. In fact, few people perceive this victory for Napoli as one that could be dangerous for several seasons at once. I think that next season Inter will be the favorite again.

[kawetsriyanto]

Inter Milan failed to win either the UEFA Champions League trophy or the Scudetto this season, which makes football fans believe Inter Milan didn't end this season in a good way. Yeah, I agree with you that Inter Milan is one of the 2 most successful clubs in both tournaments because they finished as the runner-up in both tournaments, which is difficult to achieve.

Indeed, the goal of a big and top club in the league is definitely to get a trophy every season, and when they fail, then it is always considered a failure of the club this season, the fans will not see from the other side, which means no trophy = failure. as well as what was experienced by several other top clubs in other leagues such as Real Madrid.

But the most important thing is, Inter Milan has gone through all of this, and it's time to open a new page in the 2025/2026 season, with its new coach, Cristian Eugen Chivu as Simone Inzaghi's replacement has been officially. As a former Inter Milan player, he is expected to be able to make the club win the Serie A title again at least this season.

[Odusko]

Inter Milan really made some great positive records in the last few seasons most especially in the just concluded season where their inter Milan made it to the finals in the championship, before the lost to PSG a match that Many have seen as the worst match for inter Milan for the whole season, and making the club management considering to sack the coach, but regardless, the club will definitely be on a positive and winning position.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I mean, they're in two finals, surely you can't call them a weak team? That would mean everyone who finished third (or less) or failed to enter the finals is a terrible team. Feels weird if you can only classify one team as a strong team every season because they won some silverware.

I dislike this all-or-nothing judgment. It would be horrible for a team to sack a coach every season if they failed to win something.

I also don't understand that point of view. People are looking at only what happened at the end. Yeah it wasn't a good ending for Inter in the Serie A and Champions League. But these guys were still one of the most successful 2 teams in both tournaments. 

Inter didn't sack Simone Inzaghi after it either. He just wanted to resign and accept Al-Hilal's offer. I respect his success in the Champions League. Eliminating Bayern Munich and the strongest Barcelona in the recent years are both top works.

That's right, absolutely right. A team that made it to the Champions League final, even if they had a bad and unforgettable defeat in the final. Simeone Inzaghi has brought his team the best possible results in the league, in the Champions League this season. That's why it seems a bit cruel to me to see only the Champions League final defeat.

They eliminated Barcelona, ​​who were very good, what else could they have done. PSG cancelled Inter's game in the final, I didn't expect that to happen either, but if this game was played again, maybe the result would have been different.

I would say also that if PSG played again vs Inter Milan then we might see a draw then penalties will rule which team will win, and we might see Inter Milan lifting the cup. The problem with Inter Milan is its stability during successive games. I mean in Serie A they were successful and I recall even Lukaku in Napoli said that Inter is the favorite to win the scudetto. Fast forward, Inter miss many points and Napoli was victorious by a slim margin. Same in UEFA Champions League, Inter made great job after eliminating Barcelona, which was the most favorite at that time, then lost badly against PSG. The problem is the stability of the team.

[TelolettOm]

--snipped--

In my opinion, Inter Milan will improve by signing more wingers before the Club World Cup matches. If they are familiar with their league games using two man forwards, I am sure they saw the difference in the Champions League Final. I'll always complain over Inzaghi formation in the Champions League final since his two and three positions did the attacking, but when it comes to PSG, that doesn't work for them and results in a complete failure.

Currently, Inter Milan has a new coach, Cristian Chivu. And Chivu, as a former Inter Milan player, will also continue to use Inzaghi's tactical system, still using the 3-back system, because basically in Parma, he also uses the 3-5-2 tactic which is similar to Inzaghi. And indeed, one of Chivu's tactical characters so far is the application of wing-backs and also optimizing wing forwards for scoring. But, it is still not officially stated.

I guess the president of Inter doesn't value experience in this job. They went from a two-time Champions League finalist manager to a manager with only 4 months of league experience. I'm curious to see the consequences of this. It could be a fairytale or a terrible disaster for them.

The decision to sign Chivu as a new coach is showing how InterMilan feels so desperate in finding a good coach. I'd say this as a pure gamble by them. I know how him has been very loyal to them, but no guarantee he can perform even better than Inzaghi.
He never had a full season in serie a. I believe he's either going to get sacked at the mid season or help club to finish at the top 4, only if he can. I have no confidence over this sign.

I think they could find better options instead of Chivu, but for some reason they are interested in him. Maybe they trust his abilities and we underestimate him. Of course, like everyone else, we think that a team that has played in the Champions League finals in two of the last three years deserves a better manager. It seemed more logical to bring in a manager who has proven himself, has quality, and has a successful career. However, the course of the season will determine whether we are wrong about Chivu or not.

Considering how he lacked of exp as a manager. So i'm cautiously optimistic about his performance in Inter. Still hope him for the best, but putting lower expectation to him. I only hope him to give a fresh idea to the squad, and no more parking bus merchant to be showed.

of course I personally agree with Chivu being appointed as Inter Milan coach because of course Inter must have a strong reason that finally made Chivu appointed as Inter coach and of course it could be because if I'm not mistaken Chivu once brought Inter u-19 to win a trophy and of course there are many others and of course there must be many other reasons why Chivu was appointed as Inter coach.

but of course Chivu's experience is not like other coaches who have certainly won many trophies. but in my opinion if compared to Inzaghi, of course Inzaghi is still better. but of course we'll just see what happens later because of course we won't know what will happen later because it's possible that Chivu will make Inter Milan even better in the coming season.

yes honestly I'm also curious like you because of course in the next season we will see whether Chivu can make Inter even better or not. but if Chivu can make Inter better than this season I think it will definitely make Chivu famous and of course this will make Chivu a great professional coach.

Actually nobody can dispute Inter Milan from being a successful team even as they missed the two trophies and they wouldn't be far from the third best successful in the whole Italian league currently and there potentials has not left them yet because they would always go to every season with confidence of what they have and could give, actually even if Inter Milan was messed up by PSG but from the clubs they sent home before getting there they're definitely a successful club but just like other teams has ones fall and rose to become champion, Inter Milan will not be exempted from it because they might also rise again to winn.
Indeed, we need to remember that Inter Milan's journey since the start of the season has been extraordinary. It's just unfortunate that they failed in the end. In Serie A they failed because they were narrowly unable to compete in points with Napoli. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Inter Milan played a very solid game from the start. but unfortunately Inter Milan lost in quite a surprising way in the final.

But still we shouldn't forget how good this team has been throughout the season. Only the finish was unlucky for this club.

But in my opinion, Inter Milan's loss and misfortune at the end of this season is not because they lost in Serie A or lost in the Champions League. but in my opinion, Inter Milan's unlucky thing was when they lost their coach at the end of this season.

Unfortunately i would say more than bad luck in the end, maybe with Napoli, with PSG there was a mental blackout.
I thought back to those moments, now i am cold. The players were totally panicked and i don't understand the reason for this panic, given that they are also great players

there was total panic because the PSG players took the game by the horns and tried to win it in every way, in these games the mentality counts and whoever has the strongest one always wins, lately the Italian teams have a lack of this mentality, and it is not easy to go forward without it

Because Chivu's lack of experience makes him a little doubtful to coach a team as big as Inter Milan with the many pressures he will receive because of the targets set by Inter Milan management.
This is like a big gamble, if successful Chivu will improve his career rapidly but if it fails the opposite will happen to Chivu's coaching career.
Honestly, I am very pessimistic about that.

But i don't understand what they were afraid of, i can't understand why they were afraid of a strong team, for goodness sake, but as strong as you are.

Honestly, I am very pessimistic about that.

It is also a risky decision for him to manage Inter. Because Inter has competed very well in the Champions League in recent years and has won the Italian league many times. Their expectations are much higher than any other team. Their players are quality and this year they lost the Champions League championship and the Italian league in the last matches. I can say that they had a successful year in general, they were only bad in the final matches. If Chivu can solve this, he can build his career very well, but if he shows an unusually bad performance with Inter, I do not think he will be able to stay in the team until the end of the season.

Chivu had many years as a player of Inter Milan and this brave decision to take a head position there is likely because of his love for Inter Milan. The club needs him and he felt like he can not refuse this calling from Inter Milan while it is undoubtedly a very big challenge for Chivu. His decision is like Andrea Pirlo with Juventus, De Rossi with Roma years ago and surely only time can help us knowing how Chivu does his management for Inter Milan.

Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez succeeded with Barcelona, so did Zidane with Real Madrid, hence Chivu has kind of probability of success with Inter Milan. Both the club and the young coach already made their decisions to work with each other for a common interest of the club, I wish best for them in a next season.

Milan still have the opportunity to revenge next but they need to train all of the players to be better and make other strategies. They can learned of what happen to them to analyze what need to change so they can perform better than before. In the future, many clubs will do their best so they must find the best method to train the players. The past is already gone but they still have their future so that is what they must prepare to take revenge. If Milan is really good enough and the club that can raise their perform, they will prove to their fans. So we can wait and see what they will do later.
