Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mayor of ogba]

Milan need some big-name signings, and they also need to get rid of a few players who are clearly surplus to requirements and don't seem fully committed anymore. They brought in Modric thinking he would solve a lot of their problems, but in the end things turned out pretty badly.As for the Italian national team, they're going through a generational transition. These things take time, and they'll need patience before the squad settles and finds its way back to the level Italy used to be at

AC Milan's performance isn't that bad, but I quite agree with you that they need big signings because they lack good squad depth, their performance in Serie A this season clearly indicate their squad depth isn't good enough to compete for the Scudetto. AC Milan just needs few big signings to have a formidable team in Serie A. If AC Milan management can hire a good manager and fund him with big amount of money he can use and bring in few big names to AC Milan then we can say that AC Milan are ready and set to compete for the Scudetto.

[Mate2237]

To me Milan is a team that is more concerned about making money from the sales of players rather than actually fighting for the scudetto title. In the last two seasons Milan has not been convincing to me and that is due to the way that the team is been managed and running. The quality of players that Milan is bringing to their team is one thing that am not personally comfortable. In terms of the managers that has been coming to the team they are top notch coaches but the players are not that encouraging in terms of quality.



Milan is to win the scudetto anytime soon then they should start priotizing top quality players and think about building a team that will last for long . Because this attitude of sacking Manager almost reach season is one thing that is not helpful to Milan as a team. Milan should think of a long term plan not just wanting to winning the league at all cost without actually doing a proper planing and investment.

[CageMabok]

exactly, and having sacked Allegri, let's say that it was not a very intelligent choice, having this problem now is very difficult, because this makes everything more complicated, not having a guide, a coach who manages to lead the team is very difficult, they have to hurry up and find that one too.

Milan not only needs to find the right coach for themselves next season or before the next season starts, but they also need to be able to bring in great players next season to further strengthen the team's strength and get back on track for the Champions League. Because what Milan experienced this season was truly painful, having been overtaken by teams like Como and Roma at the end of the season, Milan must be willing to fight now to find the right coach and also to find players they can buy before the new season starts.

[colinistheman]

AC Milan mustn't have to assemble global stars before they can return back to winning ways. Most of the legends you called that were former players of the club you mentioned grew through the academy ranks to become first team players. So they can still be replaced if the club management can invest more in the club's academy. I doubt that AC Milan currently has the financial strength to buy big stars but if they can get a manager that knows how to build a team that plays and succeed more as a team than depending on individual brilliance, big stars can emerge from there.

I guess AC Milan club need new players if they can release some amount of money to start searching for new players that will make their dream to come through next season, because their management are not happy with their position in this season despite the kind players they have this season. I guess their management have a good plan for the club just that they will not like to come out on social media to begin to spread their plan in public.

You know, Milan had many legendary players like Maldini, Baresi, Pirlo. How many of them did they buy? Most of them came from their own system. Many others are wild that they have carefully prepared. It is transparent now that this foul policy of looking at the market just buying high priced ready made players has not been working for them lately. So, I think if they can pour enough money into the academy considering the situation. Then giving these young talent a significant amount of time to prove themself on field will be the most suitable and solid project for them to survive in the long run.

[slapper]

is like Ac Milan are planning to fail, the players they have are good but they need to make some changes like something the other clubs in the Serie A haven't seen before. Maybe a team that attack more than they defend or do both, defend and attack more because from how we saw them play last season they struggle to even get goals against smaller team, if they find it hard to score against teams like Parma is it club like Inter, Juventus or even Como that they could get goals? No it doesn't work like that, see how Inter are building themselves every season always at the difficult side of losing, attack is strong and the defenders are hard as rock, hard to penetrate and it gives the goalkeeper that confidence of getting the job done when the time comes, that is what Ac Milan need at this moment, no dullness is allowed.

Here I want to add that not only AC Milan and Milan but now all Serie A needed to be overhauled with revolutionary changes that can bring the beauty of soccer back to Italy. They are completely down and out due to their old-fashioned and poor strategy, too many old players with nothing new and attractive, and attractive and hurting their approach.

Como has done a good job, but still it's not enough because they have enough differences in quality with finances that are also not favourable. Even for a few big clubs, they need to have a good, aggressive approach that increases their goals and have creativity, which will give them good things for a big level. Keeping old and dumb things will never bring good results in this era.

If you talk about the whole teams I can agree to that, they all haven't been up to speed not only in the Serie A but also the Champions League where they get to compete with some other top teams in the champions league, if they are also showing up every season and getting to the round of 16, quarter final, semis and the finals I believe it will increase the way they play but it seems they are not competitive at all, every season we only have Inter Milan who go far which means Inter are the only strong team from the Serie A.
I can't say the old players are the cause, I'd blame the system of the clubs, the way they operate is different from the next team and whenever I see Como it gives me joy that they are making progress, when they first arrived they almost made it to Europe Competition but the season trial paid handsomely well that they are going to play Champions League football, that's the transformation they all need, let's see if Italian clubs can survive the heat in the champions league next season.

Milan literally fired everyone. Coach, CEO, sporting director, technical director, all in 1 day. After losing to Cagliari on the last matchday. They are now seemingly in serious discussions with Oliver Glasner, who was bred under Rangnick's Red Bull system. The club admit everything they've been doing was fundamentally wrong. Took them long enough honestly.

Fabregas doesn't play "Italian football". He just plays football. Modern football. Pressing, possession and intensity. It is more like England or Germany than any other Serie A team. So bizarrely they could actually do a better job in the Champions League than people think. Because they already play at that pace domestically.

Clubs such as Juventus aren't even playing their young boys. Literally zero minutes for Italian U-21 players this season. Then they wonder why the national team pipeline is drying up.

Part of me thinks next season could be a turning point. The other part of me thinks that Italian football has been in the process of "changing" for, say, 10 years now, and always finds new ways to stay the same.
We'll see I guess.

Honestly with the way AC Milan performances goes this season is not that bad they try all their possibly best is just that they where lack of some quality players that’s why some people’s seeing than that their performances look very poor, signing more players can really help them to make their team stronger and better than before.

The teams that surprise me most is Roma if they told me that Roma will be the one to finish up in the 3rd places in the table I will never believe, but with their more efforts they made it possible to get the 3rd position.

This is AC Milan's position tracker though out the whole season


Let's be honest, I don't know how you would call being number one and number two in most parts of the season and then dropping to number five towards the end of the season and missing out on Champions League football not that bad. I am certain you are not an AC Milan fan. Ask them and they will tell you an honest truth.

[Hyphen(-)]

In the last two seasons Milan has not been convincing to me and that is due to the way that the team is been managed and running. The quality of players that Milan is bringing to their team is one thing that am not personally comfortable. In terms of the managers that has been coming to the team they are top notch coaches but the players are not that encouraging in terms of quality.

Milan is becoming the Dortmund of the Serie A, they are also more focused in business than winning trophies because in the past two to three season, they have sell more quality players than winning any trophy for the team and that’s what exactly Dortmund is known for in the Bundesliga and as a result of that, they are always behind Bayern Munich for almost a decade now to the extent that even Leverkusen that is behind them came from behind and win the Bundesliga ahead of Dortmund, but they are now trying to focus on building their team to win trophies either.

Milan is to win the scudetto anytime soon then they should start priotizing top quality players and think about building a team that will last for long . Because this attitude of sacking Manager almost reach season is one thing that is not helpful to Milan as a team. Milan should think of a long term plan not just wanting to winning the league at all cost without actually doing a proper planing and investment.

They had the opportunity in the past two seasons, but I think they have missed the opportunity to win it soon because they have missed out in the champions league which means that some of their key players might leave the team for a better team because they will want to play in the champions league as well and to improve their careers.

[GiftedMAN]

What Milan needs now is not just one player as a star they need to rebuild the team and they need good numbers of players mixed with young talents and experienced players that are well matured not just players that are at the age of retirement who would just play for a season before ending their football career. For Luka Modric he is still very good with the ball but he's aged and he can't carry the team on his shoulders. Italian teams should try to have future plans that will help them not to become a failed team when their players retire.

exactly, and having sacked Allegri, let's say that it was not a very intelligent choice, having this problem now is very difficult, because this makes everything more complicated, not having a guide, a coach who manages to lead the team is very difficult, they have to hurry up and find that one too.

Before sacking him they ought to have made plans to bring a better replacement to cover up his space if they allow the players to start the new season without getting new signings and a good manager they will have to suffer more next season because if they are not serious they may find themselves in the 10th place. Milan needs a good coach, I am in support of them sacking Allegri because he disappointed me real good but the mistake they will make is to bring in a manager that will underperform next season.

Yes,, basically, Milan's performance this season has not been consistent. Therefore, even though they competed well at the top of the Serie A standings, they ultimately experienced a decline in performance,, only being able to finish in fifth place in Serie A. So, because of that, I think Milan's current problems are becoming more complex. Because besides needing good players and a good coach, Milan also needs to improve the mentality of the existing players.

Because basically, it seems like the spirit of the Milan players is currently not very good, so that even though they have basically good performance, but if their mentality is not very good, the results will certainly not be optimal. So, because of that, Milan really needs to find a coach who can raise the spirit of Milan players so they can play optimally. Because basically, it will be very troublesome next season if their performance continues like this. Because basically Milan is a big team in Serie A, so that's why they have to try to return to their glory days again.

If you look at the season as a whole, it’s fair to say that Milan had a great chance of winning the Scudetto, and indeed they were serious contenders. But if we look at the final result, it’s clear that Milan had a disastrous season; particularly from December onwards, their form dropped significantly, culminating in the final collapse towards the end of the campaign.
If I’m not mistaken, Milan didn’t lose a single match in the first half of the season, but then performed terribly from January onwards, dropping points

[Alex077]

It is quite clear that Milan is floating in a bottomless sea without any solid or suitable plan after Allegri was fired from coaching chair. However the story goes that leaving him in a longterm run was also wasting ammunition of their squad and keeping them stuck in one place. To reign supreme in Serie A again they will need to move in a single & strict direction both in terms of player acquisitions and tactical philosophy on the pitch. So Milan now need a veteran coach with clear vision in his mind and who can change the mentality of squad from ground up. In current situation this vacillating nonsense is fading away at their dignity the most.

[tygeade]

Como is doing everything to make a competitive team for next year too, and this is what is most important at the moment, they absolutely must do this, and they must start moving now even if everyone thinks its early, but the sooner they make purchases and the sooner they get the best players.

como has already done a lot this last year, there is no need for them to do anything else, i must say that i am not surprised if this team is growing more and more, despite having achieved an incredible result, they have truly done a fantastic job and are continuing to do so by investing more and more in the team.

There is a need for repeating it, that's the goal. Como does not have a plan to be champions, that is not going to be possible, unless like some major lucky break happens somehow, in a world where Leicester City won the premier league, nothing is impossible. However, realistically, what they should aim at is repeating this success, do this 5 years in a row, and you are going to be the team that wins the league very often.

But doing this five years in a row is very low chance. Look at how many Italian clubs went to UCL five years in a row in the last five years, Inter might be the only one. I am not sure if there are any, but I am pretty sure none of them went to UCL in the past 5 years in a row, only Inter may have done that.

[Lillominato89]

If I'm not mistaken, COMO is currently moving quickly to be able to make several players whose loan status will end this season permanent, but there are still key players whose status is still unclear until now, but I think that COMO will resolve this because their position is a newly rising club and they also don't want their key players to be taken away from them after their good performance this season.

but I also feel that COMO might also make purchases of players in the transfer this season, such as Nwaneri, Fortea, and Yáñez, that means that Fabregas is also not sitting still to maintain existing players, they are ready with all possibilities whether it is hunting for new players or negotiating to retain players.

Como is doing everything to make a competitive team for next year too, and this is what is most important at the moment, they absolutely must do this, and they must start moving now even if everyone thinks its early, but the sooner they make purchases and the sooner they get the best players.

They need to strengthen their squad significantly because next season will be an unforgettable one for them, and they’ll have to avoid making a fool of themselves.
Playing in the Champions League isn’t easy; even the big teams fail, so they’re much more exposed.
I hope they have a great transfer window, or it’ll be a disaster for them. But I’m also aware that they’re unlikely to qualify among the 24 teams that will make it to the play-offs

[bastisisca]

So, that's why the current Milan owner needs to think more deeply about this. It may be true that Milan currently can't get expensive players. But I think to build a great team, sometimes players who are not too expensive can be very great, as long as Milan's analysis team can be more astute in monitoring the players they will buy. So, I think that's what Milan must do.

Exactly the current owners of Milan must reflect and understand the mistakes they have made and are continuing to make.
Changing coaches every 2 months does not give continuity to the work and every time we start from scratch.
Not to mention the players who have to memorize new patterns every 2 months, obviously they get confused.

It makes no sense. I have always criticized this way of doing things.

Como is managing the success in a very important way, having the project already structured in the right way in mind makes everything easier, with a club like that behind it it won't be difficult, Playing in the Champions League however is a very different thing, we'll see how they behave.

You’re absolutely right, mate. That’s the real big problem with this Milan side, apart from the fact that they’ve got loads of mediocre players being passed off as top-class.
The decisions made by the board leave a lot to be desired, and in my opinion they made a huge mistake in sacking Massimiliano Allegri. I’ll show you that Napoli, with Allegri, will win something next season, and Milan will be kicking themselves

Como has successfully made quite good progress in the past few seasons, so indeed the same thing is also possible to happen until next season, but I think that will continue if Fabregas remains Como's coach.

And regarding the competition in the Champions League, I think we don't need to overdo it for Como, we must realize that the competition in the Champions League is always tight, so I think we have to be realistic. Maybe if they manage to get through the group stage, that is already very good, but the most important thing is that Como remains at the top of Serie A, that is enough for them for next season.

Meanwhile, no one believed he would reach the Champions League and he succeeded and not only that, he said it and kept his promises.
Everything they say about Como, the bad things i mean, are now falling away like dry leaves in the wind.
Como has shown that it takes action.

Average players need a very skilled and highly experienced manager to bring out the best from them. It takes one who is patient, understanding and flexible to make something great out of them. Milan is going through tough times. They might not have much funds to go for world class players but that can go for who they can afford see how well the come up with a strategy to win more trophies in coming seasons so it boast their chances of going for who ever they want.

24/25 was when the won their last trophy which is Supercoppa Italiana which might be the frustration that resulted in Massimiliano Allegri being fired. It cost so much to run a club and this stakeholders are looking for the best possible option.
