Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[whiteblue]

It's time for Juventus to recover. They have to get out of this long and difficult period. Otherwise, it will continue like this. Juventus is an Italian team remembered for its successes. However, lately they are talked about more for their failures. They are far from their former glory days. But I expect them to be better now. I am eagerly waiting for it. Because Juventus was a very good team not only in Italy but also in world football.

Juventus has experienced a significant decline over the past few seasons, as their because their power is not too strong. Many changes have occurred in their squad, including a change of coach and the departure of established players, But the new arrivals have failed to deliver their best for the team.

Currently, In the scudetto race, we're only seeing competition between inter milan and napoli, as both juventus and ac milan have experienced a decline in performance.

I think financial matters have also affected the team's performance, as they haven't been able to recruit quality players in the transfer window. It's a shame, as serie a used to have many top players, But now they're no longer interesting due to the competition being lost in other, more competitive leagues.

All of your words make sense, but Juventus lost its first place as the Serie A club. Inter Milan is absolutely competitive, some other Italian clubs are as strong. It is hard to believe because the history is so long, but all of these Seria A teams had the potential to grow. Juventus is not the place anymore that great players want to go to.

But in my opinion, that’s not quite how it is; these days, players go wherever they’re offered the best contract.
Juventus haven’t been offering contracts lately that you simply can’t refuse.
The post-Cristiano Ronaldo era has been devastating for them. In my view, it was a bad investment and they’re still paying the price for it

It wasn't "just" Ronaldo contract, which was of course very bad, but after having a 10 year winning streak at the league, well not after all 10 , but near the end, they started to realize, all they have left is UCL and they wanted to get it. And to get it, you need the best players in the world. Ronaldo at the time was big name, still on his prime, he was like what 34 years old?

For a player that is still playing at 42 years old, his 34 years old is like normal players 25 years old. So he was still on his prime, and they also spent a lot of money building around him to win the UCL. This of course had a lot of costs involved and this caused them to have such a bad finances after they failed. They are still yet to recover.

Clearly, Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was what set in motion the disastrous financial management for which they are still paying the price today.
Unfortunately for them, the situation will continue for a long time yet unless they win a few trophies and use the prize money to pay off their debts.

Football is business and if you are not careful, you will run at loss to the point that it will be very difficult to recover from your loss. It was the same thing that happened to Barcelona but they're gradually overcoming it because they have already won two titles that have boosted them up financially. Juventus needs to get the right players to win the title in order to improve their financial state.

We all undoubtedly remember Juventus as a highly successful team, but their successes have mostly been confined to Italy.
If we consider that their last Champions League victory was more than 30 years ago, it is clear that their international successes are a distant memory.
But I am sure that success will return for them sooner or later

Juventus had some very good years in Europe too considering they were relegated in 2006, they got promoted in 2007, and in 2015 were playing a Champions League final. And then another one in 2017. So in 8 years they went from Serie B to the Champions League final, it's quite an achievement if you ask me. Unfortunately on the other side they faced one of the best Barcelona and Real Madrid in history. Those two teams were pretty much perfection.

Given what you’ve said, the achievements of that Juventus side were truly incredible. Their successes, however, were limited to Serie A – which is by no means a small feat, quite the opposite, in fact.
The only thing missing from that Juventus side was a European title, but as you quite rightly pointed out, they faced the very best of both Barcelona and Real Madrid in the final.

Not every season we see 2 top Italian teams staying out of top 4 in the end, yeah. Therefore Como will probably need to work harder next season to have the same success at least.

Como is still a new project under Fabregas' control... They need time to play bigger than this. But at least they have a plus as they are a rich team!

In time they could be more convincing for bigger names to sign for them.

Yes, it's true. Usually, the big four lose one place at best, but last season, Milan and Juventus surprised everyone by finishing outside the top four. Milan, in particular, fell from third place to fifth in the last round. As for next season, I think that Inter, Napoli and Milan will definitely be in the top 4, and 4th place will be played out between the remaining contenders. Newcomers (to this field) like Roma and Como are unlikely to be considered favorites in this battle, as they will be busy with the Champions League, among other things. It's unlikely they are ready to successfully play in both directions.

Last season, Inter Milan won the Scudetto again, while Napoli finished second. This is probably Milan's 21st title. The Old Lady somehow managed to secure a place in Europa League but their old problems have reappeared too. Under Luciano Spalletti, who took over mid season after Igor Tudor, Juventus played some great matches. But then they fell into disarray again.

You are right that many new players have not performed as expected. And without proper replacement they have also lost experienced key players. Having missed out Champions League revenue, Juventus is finding it difficult to buy good players against Premier League or even Italy's top rivals. The problem is that money and big stars have shifted to other league.

Also Juventus now need get out of this cycle of short term solution or frequent coach change. I heard that Spalletti's contract has been extended until 2028. He may have more control over transfer market. But it won't be enough just to have big name. Juve need players who fit into Spalletti's system and give it their all on pitch every week. They could sell deadwood at good prices and use that money to sign quality player.

After a really poor season, Fiorentina managed to stay in the Serie A at least... However this wasn't still enough for Vanoli to keep his job though. He got sacked early June and Fabio Grosso is their new manager now.

Do you expect anything good out of this? The last times they were able to finish in top 10 was with Palladino and Vincenzo Italiano. Things went upside down after. They might need to make some good signings to rise again as well.

for the ass and pulled by the hair
Let's say that it was saved precisely because of shameless luck and because its direct competitors made so many mistakes.
but now we need to rebuild a team devastated by Pioli, I'm convinced that the new coach, whom I respect, will be able to do a good job

Football is business and if you are not careful, you will run at loss to the point that it will be very difficult to recover from your loss. It was the same thing that happened to Barcelona but they're gradually overcoming it because they have already won two titles that have boosted them up financially. Juventus needs to get the right players to win the title in order to improve their financial state.

It was a game that was watched with interest earlier, but as the teams grew and players from different countries started coming and such big leagues started getting fans, it became a business. We have such teams in front of us that have put themselves in harm's way and now they will either win the title and succeed or they will have to sell their team. Barcelona took their performance and their loss seriously because of that they succeeded in the title and now they will compete with other teams and win for the title and this will give them a good opportunity which will give them an opportunity to earn money. After that, the price of these fans will have to be increased so that they will buy expensive and good players which will increase the strength of their team and their success. Since the good players have not been in Juventus, they have not had that strength, so they should think about it.

[Qastessa]

Amorim is not that bad, what happened with Manchester United cannot be fully used as a reference because previously he was very successful with Sporting so it is natural that now AC Milan management entrusts it to Amorim and I think it is worth supporting especially if AC Milan management supports AMorim by bringing in quality players then there will be a big percentage for AMorim to be successful but still what must be remembered is that everything needs a process, so we just wait without having to underestimate.

He couldn't do much at AC Milan because how could he bring in quality players when their finances were in trouble? at most, he would only bring in players he had already coached but who weren't the club's main focus and fit within AC Milan's budget. so, he built AC Milan with limited resources, and expecting immediate success under those circumstances would have been unrealistic. so, good luck to him at AC Milan and his plans for this, hopefully their ranking won't drop to the top 15.

In the long run Serie A clubs are facing not good times after Covid a few top clubs are not having enough potential to bring quality players. This brings them on a decline. AC Milan is also one of the clubs facing these financial problems they are not able to have results like they did in the past.

Ruben Amorim is a good coach, but as mentioned, without money he will not be able to give good results. Management needs to give him support, but they are also having a not-good position in the coming season. If they are not able to have the required changes, results are also not going to change. Last season gave them a big setback after having a good run; they went down.

Even last season, what really made AC Milan start performing so poorly was that they were not able to sign young and talented players. Most of the players AC Milan signed last season were aging players, and the ones that were not older were not really great players. After playing half of the season, they got exhausted, and their performances started dropping.So, even this season, I'm very sure that if they want to sign players again, Amorim will not be able to bring in the players of his choice. I also don't think AC Milan are financially strong enough to sign the players they really want. And even if Amorim gets great players, I still don't think AC Milan's performances will improve, because how can a coach who couldn't improve a team that already had great players improve a team that doesn't have great players?I just can't wait for the season to start so I can see how AC Milan's performances will be.

Yes, that was also Milan's mistake, because it's very difficult for older players to play at the same high level all season long. And in fact, that's what happened towards the end of the season, the team experienced a significant drop in form. And that ultimately led to them being eliminated from the Champions League zone. But if you look at Milan's recent seasons, you'll see they've been using this tactic for a long time. They like to skimp on transfers, they bring in more mature players. But I think that's a mistake, because this needs to be done almost every season.

I was very disappointed with the Juventus team that I watched last season. Their fans would be very disappointed after failing to qualify for the Champions League. Juventus is one the best Club in the world since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club, they are yet to win anything in the club. Juventus were among the top four clubs in the table last season, but as the season goes on, they started misbehaving at the end and missed their opportunity to be in the Champions League.

Do you think it is time for them to recover? I don’t Juventus is going to recover from this anytime soon, the new season will determine whether they are ready to improve their performance. If I’m not wrong, Juventus have not make any new signings since the season end, perhaps they are going to rely on the current squad for the new season.

Unbelievable with Juventus performance last season as the top and experienced team failed reach the Champion League spot standings and next season will play at Europe League, easily loss dominance from Como and Roma start not really well at the early season but finish at the top fourth position. Next season Luciano Spalletti still Juventus's head coach and waiting his tactical will get better finish standings and back to the Scudetto tittle race?

Juventus have begin the training for pre season match but still not announce yet for new recruitment, so far Juventus have difficult with financial and few players signed with high fees transfer and its difficult fight for Scudetto race with Inter Milan has consistent performance and solid team composition.

[Luzin]

I just wanted to point out a bit that Serie A is starting to fall behind La Liga. It seems like economic conditions make it hard for clubs to bring in big-name star players who can draw in fans. Although Inter and Atalanta are still competitive in Europe, and Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli, and Roma still make Serie A attractive right now. Italy failing to qualify for the World Cup consecutively is also a bad sign of how the country is falling behind in football if FIGC doesn't improve quickly. What do you think abaout that?

IMO

You will not compare premier league football with Serie A football they are a lot of different so I will not be surprised if he will bring the team together again and if they will offer him with all the necessities like to sign players him self and choose who he will sign and work with, he could bring the team back because they are not that good in a serie A league.

But they like signing all the players that are old to the team, which will not bring their best out and they will not have a good record enough, I know that they are after a player that are experience enough.

[pewboy]

Their performance was not as they needed just because of this slipped scouting players surely never had anything positive. If they keep them, it means they will again lose the top spot.

these teams are great and have been for years now they are starting to decline a bit, due to the lack of a project and continuous bad management of the team, the new purchases have not integrated and have not made everything that the club hoped for them possible, but now they necessarily have to downsize.

Exactly, they are very different on all fronts, both in terms of performance, in terms of mental health because the English are very competitive.
They also invest more than we Italians, the comparison cannot be made in a balanced way.
What really appeals to me instead is watching teams that until recently no one thought of seeing them in Serie A, instead against all expectations they also won the Champions League place (Como), certainly they will have to face clearly superior teams, but at least it's a fun thing to follow.

Wow. Like seriously I've never had the time to check out the level of investment Juventus had to put to bring Ronaldo on board and how such moves affected them financially till date but I remember his transfer deal was a then league record amounting to €100 million which is quite a ridiculous amount to be spent on a player, although you wonr say the expenses were completely wrong, i also dont believe it served the purpose they wanted it to serve then. Nonetheless, in Ronaldo's 134 appearances, he took the club through winning of two Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana trophies and titles before leaving for Man U. So if the money spent on him, you will say it was extravagant since it didn't bring them to even a runner up to the Champions League like it did the previous season but these are the consequences clubs pass through in making some hard decisions ans stay in the limelight. Let's see what their next season will come with.

[Webetcoins]

Perhaps they need to emulate what AC Milan is currently doing, namely a reshuffle within their management. Perhaps that's their problem, which is why their player investments haven't always been successful, perhaps their observation of the players they're about to bring in isn't as sharp. Regardless, they need to recover quickly from their slump, as they've gone six seasons without a Scudetto.

AC Milan should first appoint an experienced manager. If the manager  is not experienced enough, it will not be  possible for them to dominate Serie A. AC milan has appointed amorim as their new manager. He is not experienced enough. It is also unlikely that milan will dominate serie A with the help of amorim. Anyway, Milan management is also not interested in  spending a large amount of money to buy players  now. It is not  possible to strengthen the squad without  creating a large fund now.

The possibility of Amorim failing here as well is huge. I know that he did great before he joined United, but the problem with Milan is the same as the problem with United.

He did great back in Portugal because he managed a team who had everything under control and was well managed by the owners and the workers, but when he went to United he faced a team that was in shambles and not knowing what to do and running around like a headless chicken. He is going to Milan, which is basically the same situation.

unfortunately not through his fault
it's all going against him even if he was the best coach in the world he would have everything going against him
I don't think there's any hope at the moment for either Milan or Juventus (who, to their credit, seem to have stopped changing coaches).
