Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mate2237]

Como has achieved an incredible feat above what anyone could imagined prior to the beginning of the season, in a league where you have elite clubs like AC Milan, Juventus and the rest of them, who could have thought that a small team with little experience, and without star players could finish the season above Milan and Juventus. In recent time, Como have shown that there is no limits to what anyone can achieve as long as you put you mind to it.

Como probably didn't think so either, basically Como qualified for the Champions League with the defeat of AC Milan in the last match, otherwise they would have to be satisfied with the Europa League ticket. Before the start of the season, no one expected that Como would be able to enter the Champions League so quickly, but after the start of the season, their performance began to impress everyone, and even after the first 20 rounds, it made them think that Como might fight for the title. But then Como's performance started to deteriorate and they went from the title fight to the Champions League qualification fight, where their performance was not good. But the consistency of the last few matches and their luck helped them take them to the Champions League.

You are right at a stage in the season, towards the closing ending of the season, Como was not not in contention as one of the favorite to qualifying for the champions League because, they had some bad results which position them for the Europa League. But with games going their way on the last day of the season. Como found themselves qualifying for the champions League I believe that, this will have been a big surprise for both the players and even the management. Playing in the champions League is a big opportunity for a team like Como.


But one thing that I have seen about teams like Como when ever , they qualifies for the champions League is the fact that most of such teams has not lived up to expectations and do not perform well. I just hope that Como will not go the way of such teams but, should continue in this tracjectory and bring in some experience players experience in the champions League , so that they can compete favorably with the rest of the teams in the champions League.

I don't think this is what people think, Como gave a simply incredible performance and continued to do so and did so until the end of the championship, i don't understand those who say it's luck, when they have beaten teams like Milan or Juventus, decades in Serie A.

Maybe the luck factor for Como is when in the last match, Milan should have won and even if Milan drew, Como would not get a ticket to the UCL competition, because Milan H2H remained superior, but they lost to the 14th ranked team (Cagliari), this can be called luck for Como, but I also agree that Como has been outstanding this season and deserves to play in the CL competition.

Como has done a great job, and what they’ve achieved is no small feat given the fierce competition from the big teams. Como has been fortunate that other teams have struggled with their form. But we can’t underestimate what Como has accomplished; we’ve seen how they’ve progressed from their promotion to Serie A up to the present day.

Como was one of the clubs I didn't expect to rise so fast whereas, other big clubs are struggling to catch up with their pace. Como performance was superb last season and they didn't relent till they find themselves on the Champions League spot. Kudo to Fabregas for liberating the club to this level

Como extraordinary performance this season which earned them qualification for the Champions League wasn't a stroke of luck. It was purely due to Como meticulous and serious team building approach.

It's safe to say that Como is building a serious, long term project, as evidenced by their first and second seasons in Serie A. The first season was good, but the second was even better, with improvements. Interestingly Como continued improvement is their trust in and reliance on young players. This is something that is rare among other Serie A teams.

In my opinion, Serie A teams should emulate Como who are open to young players and willing to rely on them. Currently, Serie A teams have become a destination for older players who want to retire. It's like the MLS or other leagues outside Europe that want to take older players to increase their competitive reputation. We can check the track record of Serie A teams in the last 10 years no Serie A team has won the UCL and look at the Serie A league which is currently lagging behind other top leagues, even the national team has failed to qualify for the World Cup 3 times.

Como has been very active and consistent in their performances, which takes them to where they are now. We all know it's not by luck, but by effort. If Como will be that consistent in the upcoming season, then I think they will also do something tangible in the Champions League and also the Serie A.

My only fear for Como is for them not to end up selling most of their good players in the summer, which, if they did, will affect them in the upcoming season, no doubt on that. Como is a well-doing team; I acknowledge that.

Como put in such a great performance this year that everyone wholeheartedly expected them to qualify for the Champions League. And that's exactly what happened; their miraculous defeat against Milan in the last match propelled them there. Nobody expected Milan to lose at home in their last game. But that's football, and it's beautiful. Now Milan has dropped out of the Champions League qualifying spots while Como has climbed to the top.

You know, if you look not at one game, but at the whole season (which is logical, since the result of the whole season decides), then Como clearly has priority over Milan. Como has the best defense in the league – 1st place. Milan is tied for 4th-5th. Como has the 2nd best attack in the league, bettered only by Inter. Milan only have the 6th best attack in the league. As you can see, the statistics show that Como is even slightly lower than it should be, and Milan is approximately in its place.

Looking at the teams in terms of level, Milan seems to have had less success in the statistics, but Como is in a better position than Milan in terms of statistics this year. They fully deserved their place in the Champions League rankings, we can see that. It would have saddened me if Como hadn't qualified for the Champions League because their performance this year was very good.

The excitement will continue in Italy next year, and I think Inter will again be the biggest contender for the championship. I'm also really curious about who Italian teams will sign this summer. Because many teams have failed in Europe. Napoli couldn't even reach the last 24 in the Champions League. Juventus was eliminated early, Inter was eliminated early. If they want to become teams that want to succeed in Europe next year, they need to spend some money.

[$weetne$$]

AC Milan has a team behind them that is in very bad shape, this is truly incredible, they had the chance to win the championship but in the end they did nothing to bring it home and they even found themselves out of the champions league, this thing is really embarrassing in fact the managers were eliminated.

It was really sad to see that they were actually doing fine at some point last season, but how they later fell so bad that they are not able to at least qualify for the champions league made the disappointment such a huge one to be considered, I do not have any much to say about them but to hope that they do better next season as expected of them.

If you judge by the current squad depth of the teams in Italy for now Inter Milan still have the best squad but winning the championship for next season is not certain because the teams failed last season will be hoping to sign more good players that would be of help to them to right for the trophy nest season. The champions League competition should be a major concern to most of the teams in the league they performed poorly in the last outing and they need to get better so they will have a chance to increase the numbers of their representatives.

Financially talking, AC Milan, Juventus, even Napoli and Inter Milan aren't able to compete big teams like Paris Saint Germain, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich... They have to count on new and talented players, in addition to free transfers and quite old players to continue their presence as much as possible in UEFA Champions League.
For the next year, I see Inter Milan as a natural contender for the Scudetto and the other top teams as potential ones depending from their ability to consolidate their squad or make it better at least.

Besides luck, Como was also able to capitalize on the Situation for the remainder of the season by performing optimally, Resulting in a winning streak that lifted them into the top four.

Next Season, If como can maintain their impressive form, I'm confident They be able to challenge Inter milan or napoli for the Title.

Como will certainly need to Improve their squad to prepare for next Season. Fabregas has been busy recruiting new players this transfer window. Two big names they been eyeing are likely to be targeted by other teams. I hope fabregas moves quickly to acquire quality Players this transfer window.

[Gallar]

Yes, if you're simply saying that Como is simply lucky to be playing in the UCL next season, your assumption is clearly incorrect. Como has performed exceptionally well this season, and even strong teams like Inter have struggled against Como. Therefore, if you're simply saying that Como was simply lucky to finish in the top four in Serie A, you're clearly mistaken. Luck alone isn't enough to get a team to this point.

The bottom line, as Renampun said, is that it's all a combination of hard work, luck, and Fabregas' strategy. Therefore,, I don't think we should underestimate Como. Getting to this position is a struggle,, and it wasn't easy. So, that's why I think we should be supporting them so they can do well in the Champions League next season. However,, you're free to make assumptions here, so it's up to you whether you believe my assumptions or not.

I don't think this is what people think, Como gave a simply incredible performance and continued to do so and did so until the end of the championship, i don't understand those who say it's luck, when they have beaten teams like Milan or Juventus, decades in Serie A.

Yes,, basically, they just seem to be in disbelief that a team that's only been in Serie A for two seasons has made it this far. So maybe they think it's just luck. Because basically, maybe they think that a new challenger like Como won't be able to compete well in Serie A. But basically, we shouldn't think like that because basically in the world of football, anything can happen, and there are no newcomers or long-standing teams. Because if their performance is good, it's definitely good and not just due to luck.

Because basically, in 90 minutes of the match, I don't think luck alone will be enough for a team to win the match. So with that, it definitely takes a good performance to be able to continue playing well and be successful like Como is currently doing. So, that's why I think people who feel like Como are just lucky to be at this point are clearly just not accepting that Como can reach the top four, beat the big teams there, and even secure a Champions League spot. So, that's my conclusion at the moment.

AC Milan's failure was a breakthrough for Como, and it is a good feeling to see that Como made it to the UCL because they almost lost hope after they faced some challenges during few weeks to the end of the season. I was impressed by Como's performance because they are a team that anyone can call a mediocre team, but their show of bravery became a record breaker for them through the coaching skills of Cesc Fabregas. Even if Como doesn't advance more than the league phases, it doesn't matter much as the experience is what they needed. After all, there are teams in the Serie A who are far stronger than Como but they when they reach the UCL, they don't advance to the next stages.

AC Milan has a team behind them that is in very bad shape, this is truly incredible, they had the chance to win the championship but in the end they did nothing to bring it home and they even found themselves out of the champions league, this thing is really embarrassing in fact the managers were eliminated.

They where not even close to winning the Scudetto Seria A! It has always being either Napoli or Inter Milan who eventually ended up winning and lifting.
They had a good start with Max Allegri but things didn't end that way for them consistently. When it mattered most, they were no longer consistent and they fell off dramatically to Como United.
It saddens me because I'd be seeing Luka Modric who's never played in the Europa League Competition finally swing that way. Bow they will also be having a new guy Oliver Glasner, we should expect great improvements from him.

Indeed! For the last games of the season that can be said for sure. Milan were actually too bad while we were getting close to the end of the season. That was a big help for Como...

Como also won most of their games on the final weeks meanwhile. That determination helped them finish in top 4. Fabregas' effort is just hard to explain. He is one of the best young managers in the world now.

Honestly I couldn’t believe Milan will lose that game at home, considering how much they knew what was at stake, the game was also played at home ground and it was against Cagliari, a team that has struggled almost all season. I was really disturbing at that performer. Milan scored first and I was like we are going to see Milan score so much in that game but instead it ended in a defeat for them.

Well I get that fact that it was the reason why Allegri was sacked, they expected at least a champions league football from him but instead he couldn’t deliver, for me I don’t put all blame on Allegri, Milan need to get quality players if they want to be considered serious in coming seasons.

[len01]

Next Season, If como can maintain their impressive form, I'm confident They be able to challenge Inter milan or napoli for the Title.

Everyone acknowledges how Como have managed to make a big impact in Serie A. Even so, we have to be realistic and admit that challenging Inter and Napoli for the title is still a bit too early for Como. Even other top clubs such as Milan, Juventus, and several others have struggled to compete with those two teams. So, Como will still need time to develop before they can seriously challenge Inter or Napoli.

Playing in the champions League is a big opportunity for a team like Como.

Whenever the discussion comes with judging Como based on their performance, I like to be lenient in my judgment considering how well they played to secure the fourth position at the table standing for the first time in history under the leadership of Cesc Fabregas. I’m even having a feeling like if at any instance Mikel Arteta is to be changed by Arsenal there are high chances they may consider picking Fabregas to replace him due to his sportsmanship and delivery. Retired Arsenal players are currently doing well as managers in their respective teams and it is a good sign of progress and experience too.

they never managed to find the right situation for AC Milan to play well, only at the beginning they made this team do well but then they stopped and no longer continued to do anything, this is the result, a team that didn't even qualify for the champions league and who also changed manager.
