Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[$weetne$$]

Juventus always wants to have the best team both in Italy and abroad, in fact with the purchase of Ronaldo, everyone thought it was a good year to win the Champions League and instead they didn't succeed, this tells me one thing, you don't always win with the best, however the fact remains that Cristiano is one of the strongest players of every era.

A typical comparable example is with PSG, at a time they had all the best talents packed up in their team and it was taught they were going to win the champions league that time but that happened to be one season they did not have a really good shot at the champions league, now see the squad with which they are making the best appearance and wining the champions league, it was an era and it needed to be understood, mind you a single player is not all a team need to do greater things, it has to be a synergy of efforts and untill Juventus is able to coordinate that synergy, they will still get it wrong even with more good young talent among them as they will be heavily reliant on individual brilliance.

Lazio fell short of expectations this season and failed to qualify for European competitions. They finished the league in 9th place. Maurizio Sarri's tenure also came to an end today. Had they not lost the Coppa Italia final, they might have continued with Sarri, but with the poor league finish the partnership lasted just one season.
Sarri is likely headed to Atalanta. Lazio are considering bringing Gattuso on board as new head coach. The movement of managers between teams in the Italian league continues at full speed. You don't see this much turnover in other leagues probably.

While I understand the troubles they may have this season considering the top six were all great teams, people need to realize, Lazio can only battle Atalanta and Bologna at this point. If they weren't 9th then they would have been 7th, which isn't terrible for them and all they can hope for. What was Lazio expecting? To be in the top six?

They are not in the top six, all of those six teams are far better teams and there is no way that Lazio could crack into that. So the best case that Lazio could do would have been 7th place. If they won the cup, yes I agree that it would be a good season, they were very close, and they should focus on that every year. Because they can't make any changes enough to go into 4th place or anywhere there.

It may not surprise everyone, but certainly most people are surprised, because to be honest I was personally surprised by Como achievement, it took them just over 7 years from their initial journey in Serie D to finally playing in Serie A. This shows that at every stage they went through, they kept improving, and in the end finished 4th in Serie A and got the chance to play in the Champions League. European competition is a new chapter for them to achieve another feat, which I think they will be able to do.

For those who follow football it's nothing new, Como was a great team that was able to win even against the big teams in the Serie A championship, i don't see why after the path they've taken they didn't deserve to play in the Champions League, they're very capable of doing it and i think it will give us great satisfaction.

Juventus official page posted this Ronaldo image about 6 hours ago on Facebook, and I was like did Ronaldo move from Juventus down to Al Nassr? I had to pinch myself, no he left Juventus to Manchester United, that was his second return and it was from there he moved to Al Nassr. It's been years now since Ronaldo left Juventus and they are posting about him, could it be that they are missing him? Or they want to remind us that the GOAT once played for them! 

Juventus enjoyed a stellar player who played at a very high level in all their matches, i still remember the one against Atletico Madrid, a tru masterpiece from the team but also from the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo who was able to score 3 goals in such an important match, simply the best.

[aipercoin]

yes I understood, not only Allegri was sent away but also other people
now the point is
previous season, Milan eighth place out of all
this season, recovered in the race with Allegri, fifth place in the Champions League, there is an improvement
If when you start to improve you reset from the beginning: milan haven't understood a thing

It's truly unacceptable to throw away a qualification like that, it was practically done, you can't expect so little from Milan, they should have gone to the champions at least, it was a normal thing and instead they sent him away and they did well, Juventus should have done the same thing with shoulder pads.

If Juventus management adds ronaldo to the squad again, it will be a big mistake. But if there is no need  to spend extra money to add Ronaldo to the squad, then maybe juventus will benefit. Even then, ronaldo's wages are very high. The biggest problem is that Ronaldo is now 41 years old. So he is likely to be injured  most of the time. Serie A is a fiercely  competitive league. At the same time , performing in a league like Serie A at the age of 41 is also a big challenge for ronaldo's fitness.

In the 2024/25 season Como earned promotion to Serie A and managed to finish the season in the top 10, this season they really surprised many by finishing fourth, surpassing several big teams that had been in Serie A for long time this achievement deserves everyone recognition, as Como has proven how determined they are to become one of the strong team in Serie A.
Next season in the UCL competition will be sweet history for Como, who initially had no big name but now they have succeeded in competing in the most prestigious competition in Europe, although there is not much hope, whatever the result, many will look forward to every they match.

I cannot deny it that I'm definitely among the people that was underestimating Como, because at first when I noticed their presence in the league i couldn't give them a second thought because i was so confident that they will not go anywhere but to greatest surprise they even qualified to the Champions League next season. I've learned a very good lesson here not to be underestimating anything because a lot of teams fought very hard just to make it to this level. Once again congratulation to Como for making it to the Champions League and next season I will focus on you more especially in the Champions League.

Como's performance this season was extraordinary. We have seen their irregular performance in some matches. But Como played very well against renowned teams in Serie A. This is definitely commendable.

Como's squad is not that strong. They do not have that big star player. However, the understanding between the players is very good and the team has qualified for the Champions League because of the hard work of the players. The most important thing is that Fabregas is a very clever manager. It is because of his tireless work that Como has qualified for the Champions League. And they deserve it.

Are they ready to spend so much money? Even if they do, I would still doubt his game plan to be good enough for the league title...

I, on the other hand, think that Milan didn't really understand him 100%, they tried to do what he asked but not to the end, they didn't know how to take advantage of Allegri's mentality and i think that Napoli did the right thing in signing him for next season, i think its a really smart choice.

I don't know. I'm confused by the coaching cycle in Serie A. Being a coach in the Italian league is really easy isn't it? They don't have to worry about being unemployed because they just have to wait their turn to replace another coach. In Milan, Allegri has a great chance of finishing in the top four and they should even be able to compete with Inter. From the start, Milan focus was solely on the domestic league as they didn't play in European competitions. But Allegri failed with Milan and now Allegri is at Napoli. What can Napoli expect from Allegri?

I don't think the Italian league can compete in European competitions right now because the teams in the Italian league currently don't want to hire coaches from other countries. That's why they won't be able to compete in Europe. Their coaches are always the same just moving from club to club and they like to recruit older players. Italy has failed to qualify for the World Cup for three consecutive times but has never learned its lesson. If they want their national team to qualify for the World Cup, they should improve their league by bringing out generations of young Italian players.

[Velvet78]

It seems like Chivu is really a great choice for Inter. He didn't even have a difficulty in winning the league. His only minus is his Champions League performance. But he can get better in time by being more experienced.

I, on the other hand, think that Milan didn't really understand him 100%, they tried to do what he asked but not to the end, they didn't know how to take advantage of Allegri's mentality and i think that Napoli did the right thing in signing him for next season, i think its a really smart choice.

I don't know man... In the past Allegri won a Serie A title with Milan. But this season everything went wrong. At one point they looked like they were getting better. But on the last weeks they messed up a lot!

We will see if you turn out to be right about Napoli and Allegri. But I'm not much positive about a title race by them against this powerful Inter.

[hyudien]

What I see from Allegri failure with Milan is twofold. First, as you said, Milan did not give Allegri the weapons he wanted completely, they did not buy many players in the last market. And secondly, Allegri himself, I feel that his ability has decreased a lot, because as an experienced coach he should still be able to bring Milan to get 1 ticket to the UCL even with makeshift players, after all at the beginning of the season, they seemed to be able to do it until they finally failed in the decisive match.

I don't expect much Napoli in Allegri hands will be much better.

If the official page of Juventus actually posted Cristiano Ronaldo, it's definitely to congratulate him on recently winning the Saudi Pro League title as their former player or something else but definitely not to bring him back to play for the club. His age and fitness level I don't think is enough to see him return to any of the top five leagues in Europe that are very competitive. The Portuguese football legend have left European football as a player and if he'll ever come back to any club, it'll definitely not be to play for that particular club, maybe for a managerial or ambassadorial position.

[Zanab247]

There is a possibility that Juventus really miss that player and posted the photo as a way of congratulating Ronaldo for successfully bringing Al Nassr to the top of the standings at the end of this season. So maybe Juventus also want to show that Ronaldo was one of the best players ever to play for the club, someone who was able to give his best contribution and help the team win trophies.

Ronaldo's contribution to Juventus was immense during his time there and such a statement is a natural way to honor a player who has contributed to the club. The post has no intention of anything else, especially regarding his move there, as his contact with Al Nassr is still available. It's more of a tribute to him for helping Al Nassr achieve the championship. Before Ronaldo's arrival, the club had struggled to achieve a championship and now Ronaldo is making the fans' dreams come true, although we can't ignore the other players who have contributed to the club's success.

I don't think Juventus management will like to sign Ronaldo back to Juventus despite what Ronaldo is displaying in his current club, because they will not consider him base on his age, which is not encouraging. Am not saying that Ronaldo is not talented but the strength he has when he was in Juventus before he moved to Manchester united, I don't think he still have such strength despite he is doing well in Saudi Arabia club, because some of the clubs there are not strong compare to clubs in Italian league and other tournaments.

Well, I celebrate Ronald for his achievement so far in football career, I guess he need to retire from football games and look for way to start coaching job, because it will make many clubs in the world to sign him since he has a good record when he was a player, and it will make him popular again.

Como performance was superb and they've been really excellent this season following the presence of one of a genius for a manager. We're referring to Cesc Fabregas who made the whole thing a possibility and today we get to see Como competing and qualify for the UEFEA Champions League this season.

Como rise to spotlight shocked everyone, because in the eyes of people, it was just an ordinary club that would be fighting for the conference or European spot, they didn't even get a good odds of been in the top four this season and Como surprised everyone when they qualify, I often watch some of the league games this season and it's already a prove that Cesc Fabregas knows exactly what's he's doing and he's in possession of good players, watch out for Cesc Fabregas and Como next season.

[DiMarxist]

Como success story will not have been complete with Cesc Fabregas he really did a very good job as a manager, taking a team from relegation zone to champions League football in a space of one year only goes to show the quality of coach that he is. His technical in depth is one of the best in the Seria A and even in Europe because, looking at the way that this team is performing in terms of play Como is playing a very attractive style of game which is very appealing to the eyes if you ask me. Fabregas to me deserves coach of the season in the Seria A this season.

Once again congratulation to Como for making it to the Champions League and next season I will focus on you more especially in the Champions League.

This is one beauty you get to discover with football, you cannot always predict exactly what you are to expect and what you will actually see happen, next season it is very possible to see another team coming up like Como and giving us some really massive surprises, not only in the Seria A but also in other leagues.

You can also keep an open focus too so you do not get surprised and miss out on other teams that may be coming up like Como to do really well in various leagues.

We see how Como performs in the champions league next Season, whether they suffer the same fate as Girona, who also enjoyed a strong run at the time.

However, Competing in the champions league will be quite difficult. Como will need to be mentally strong when facing big Teams from other leagues like Real madrid, Bayern munich, or Manchester city.

Therefore, Everyone appreciates the como players efforts this season, as it's very difficult for a weak team to break into the top four and qualify for the champions league.

Fabregas to me deserves coach of the season in the Seria A this season.

Como and their coach definitely deserve some praise, but I've seen a lot of teams in different leagues have a season like this and then completely lose their form the next year.

Girona in La Liga is probably a good example. They had an amazing season and finished in the top three, which is somewhat similar to what Como are doing right now. That's why I think we need to wait and see what Como can do over the next 2 or 3 seasons. The real challenge is maintaining this level of performance. If they can't keep it up, then all the praise they're getting now might end up being for nothing.
