⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024⚽

[Hirose UK]

Many teams in all leagues are in debt, the only ones are the super loved ones, which have very strong companies behind them that spend money on famous names, but these companies are more companies than football teams, they spend and do things wisely, see Real Madrid for example, just one name.

Yes, what you say is true, but I think perhaps that in Italy we have the worst situation given that even very usual teams, like the team you support: Juventus, are in financial problems.
I am not saying they risk bankruptcy, but they have to do the math carefully since they are not making money but rather losing money.

Spending money on players who have great skills is not loss, and every team needs time to change after the bad conditions they have experienced.
Last season Juventus had series of problems that made things difficult for them and now they are back again, able to have much better performance so they can become one of the team at the top.
We all know that Juventus has well-supported resources and they can get lot of big names in every transfer market, it is long-term investment which in my opinion can be profitable but not immediately.
If this is loss then all team will also experience losses, but in reality many team can still develop very well.

It is very likely that Max Allegri will no longer be the coach of Juventus next year, given the poor results so far I don't think the club wants to continue to invest in him, but I wonder who the replacement could be? Osimhen will leave even with the qualification to the next Champions League, last summer he already wanted to leave as he had been repeatedly approached by PSG, rather I have the feeling that Kvaraskhelia could also say goodbye to Napoli.

Next year will be a year of many changes
I cant say that I am happy to see him go, after all he is a good coach and I am verry sorry
I am convinced that the poor results are not his fault but a lot of bad luck, for example last season there was the terrible punishment of not playing the cups. Not Allegri fault.

In my opinion, however, if there is a culprit, it is Massimiliano Allegri. The club set him up with a team to win the championship, he has no commitments in European competitions, and he is currently in third place in Serie A. Many victories were achieved in the last minutes without ever dominating a match and for me this is a failure. He was supposed to dominate the championship instead he finds himself fighting not to lose even the fourth place. I wish you that the next coach will be a coach who brings you to fight to win the Scudetto

However in terms of Juventus performance I agree with you that they were able to sustain there performance a bit as most of there players are injured but there consistency was not enough because the pressure was much on them and besides it was actually very difficult for them to perform the way they normally do because most of those injured players covers big role on the club that there absence could affect the team, so that's why I believe that the injured players contributed to there poor performance.

Injuries can significantly impact a team's performance, and Juventus has indeed faced challenges with several key players being sidelined. Injuries are an inevitable part of sports, their impact on Juventus, with its high standards and expectations, can be particularly significant. It's understandable to attribute some of the team's poor performances to the absence of key players due to injury. When crucial players are absent due to injuries, it can disrupt the team's rhythm and affect their ability to maintain consistency on the field. These players have pivotal roles within the squad, and their absence can create gaps that are difficult to fill adequately.

Also the consistency of Inter puts more pressure on them. The pressure on the remaining players to compensate for the missing key players is too big. They may feel the weight of expectations from fans, coaches, and even themselves to step up and deliver results despite the setbacks. This added pressure can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in performance, because the team struggles to adapt to the altered dynamics and find their footing without their injured teammates.

in my opinion there is a lot to change at Juventus, certainly a change of coach could be a wake-up call but there are also other sectors to revolutionize, I've always said it: the athletic trainer doesn't seem as good as he seems and therefore the team has some performances really poor from that point of view

In fact, the season went very badly from this point of view, there was contributory blame but in my opinion it wasnt entirely his fault.

Not because I want to defend him at all costs, but something is not working in the team and if the mechanism has a broken piece nothing will work. My opinion.

in some cases the expense was just a mere commercial operation, for example in the case of Juventus with CR7 it was a single commercial operation, the sheer quantity of t-shirts and gadgets repaid the cost of Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact the player only stayed for one year but is investment not a cost

This season Juventus can be better than last season, so there is indeed positive progress and also internally the Juventus team has a lot of problems so Massimiliano Allegri cannot be completely blamed.

Massimiliano Allegri is a great coach and he has led Juventus to win the Scudetto which indicates that the quality of Massimiliano Allegri's coaching is quite good, so because of that I also think there are many other problems that have an impact on the team's performance.

Allegri is the best coach for Juventus right now but the club has so many problems that I doubt this team will be able to hold top 4 until end of the season. I also don't think Juventus they deserve to play in UCL next season as the current team they have is for Europa League level. I must be a bit harsh on this but this is my personal opinion about Juventus this year and how the club is preparing for the next one.

Juventus doesn't really have a problem, their squad is not bad neither, I think the only issue they have right now is that they have a manager who plays them too defensively, and considering they are one of the better teams in the league, they shouldn't worry about attacking all that much, they need to figure out a way to be more forceful and try to score a lot more.

Also, they got a lot of injuries this season as well so that is another topic they were unlucky about, if they give in enough time they should be doing fine. Change the manager and roll it again next season and I bet that it will do a lot better, I do not think that they are going to end up with a worse result, they should be doing fine in the end.

I agree about Allegri. He is technically one of the best managers for Juventus. People are forgetting about a fact here. He has achieved so many championships with Juventus so far. Juventus had their golden age with him.    Now they aren't having a good time. But I don't think this is all Allegri's fault. First of all he should be authorized to rebuild this squad. There are obviously significant weaknesses to fix.

Rather than sacking Allegri I think he should be given another chance by letting him transferring the players fitting his system this summer.

Massimiliano Allegri is indeed a good coach for Juventus because he has led Juventus to win the league title several times and I thought Massimiliano Allegri would do the same thing this season but it turns out that Juventus has to face various performance problems and it seems that the mentality of the Juventus players is not yet completely strong in the title competition. With Inter Milan whose players have high confidence and a good mentality in the title race, Juventus must learn from the mistakes of the previous seasons. Why they always fail to win the Scudetto, perhaps one of the reasons lies in the players not performing optimally.

Juventus' performance this season alone in the Seri a is not very consistent, how can Juventus face quite tough matches in the Champions League, especially when Juventus has a busy schedule unlike the current season, at least Juventus is improving its performance so that it can compete closely in the Champions League next season because it's not funny to see its performance Juventus is bad only because of the lack of adequate resources. I hope Juventus recruits good players to improve its performance next season. I really want to see Juventus return to its best performance in Serie A and in the Champions League.

he is a good coach for any team, not just Juventus
However, I believe that the problems of the black and white team are multiple and not just that
honestly, with only the championship I didn't expect him to have this physical decline
we will see in the future

in short, I absolutely disagree with you, in fact I totally disagree
last year, last season Juventus played cups while this year no cups
for me he had a totally disappointing performance this year, I agree. with you having multiple problems, you have to start trying to fix them somewhere

As a Juventus fan I agree with you, I have always had a good time with Massimiliano Allegri as coach, but as you may have noticed, it is been two years in which he is really struggling
I cant even understand what the real problem is
and I dont even think his coach or the club are perfectly aware of it

Massimiliano Allegri has given his best for Juventus, but currently the team is going through difficult times, and I don't think what happened is entirely Massimiliano Allegri should be responsible because there are quite a lot of internal team problems that have an impact on performance.
Massimiliano Allegri has tried to make better progress compared to last season and I think Massimiliano Allegri needs time and support to get Juventus back to its top form.

With a gap of up to 17 points with Inter, Juventus seems to have no chance of winning the championship. The reason was when Juventus lost to Udinese at home, and the previous loss to Inter hurt Juventus too much and caused them to lose much of their motivation. 'The players tried their best and then realized they were still too far behind their opponents, which knocked them down.' The most disappointing thing for fans is not that Juventus lost to Inter but that they surrendered disgracefully. Last season, Juve was eliminated from the Top 6 because of mistakes, but they still made fans proud because of their great spirit of trying to overcome adversity. And now? From the position of competing for the Scudetto with Inter, they are now struggling to fight for a position in the Top 4.
Over the past month and a half, Allegri has been powerless to revive a team that lacks motivation and is mentally exhausted. And, of course, Allegri must be responsible for that series of disappointing matches.

 Obviously I don't think the fault lies entirely with coach Allegri, certainly in the dressing room there is general discontent and the players don't obey the orders of the coach. Often the will of the players can play tricks on coaches, they can deliberately but tacitly decide whether a coach should remain at the helm of the team or be relieved, and to do this they need only start a series of bad performances. These are obviously absolutely personal opinions

Spending money on players who have great skills is not loss, and every team needs time to change after the bad conditions they have experienced.
Last season Juventus had series of problems that made things difficult for them and now they are back again, able to have much better performance so they can become one of the team at the top.
We all know that Juventus has well-supported resources and they can get lot of big names in every transfer market, it is long-term investment which in my opinion can be profitable but not immediately.
If this is loss then all team will also experience losses, but in reality many team can still develop very well.

in some cases the expense was just a mere commercial operation, for example in the case of Juventus with CR7 it was a single commercial operation, the sheer quantity of t-shirts and gadgets repaid the cost of Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact the player only stayed for one year but is investment not a cost

But everything will also depend on everyone in the team with financial management, they will be able to determine what to do with the team finances so that they can be used to change and make the team much stronger.
If it is related to the problem that previously occurred with Ronaldo, I don't know much about it because there is no official certainty about what actually happened. What I know is that Juventus was responsible for arrears in paying Ronaldo salary.
But it seems that for now this problem has been resolved because no further news has appeared.

Coach is the main factor in the success of football team, Juventus may have coach whose performance is not quite right at the moment but at least there are some changes that have occurred.
If the coach can work well in using the players to use strategies and game formations then it will clearly have big influence on the strength of the team and maintain the stability of all the existing players.
Moreover, Juventus has many great players and if the placement is done correctly, Juventus can have much stronger performance than other team.
Yes, we see what it will be like in the future, if the coach cannot work well in the future then the option of replacement can also occur.

It doesn't look like Napoli will be able to reach top 4 this season. Is there anyone who still believes in them to do this now?

This would have really negative consequences for this team truthfully. Like not being able to prevent some of their valuable players from leaving this summer already.    Napoli were already not a consistent title contender before though. Only the last season was like a dream for them thanks to Spalletti. This was what motivated their best players to stay longer.

However now players like Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia could seriously think about leaving... No Champions League means no success for them of course.

It is almost impossible for Napoli to compete to enter the top 4, apart from being very far behind in points, they also do not have consistent performance.

After Spalletti's departure everything has changed even though the Napoli management tried to retain their best players but what happened last season cannot be repeated.
For the next season, I doubt they will still be able to retain some of their best players because building a team that has fallen like Naoli takes a long time and is a bit difficult.

This week's defeat against Atalanta was at times quite embarrassing in itself and this defeat is likely to have an impact for the next few matches due to the depletion of motivation and loss of confidence among the players in the Napoli team.

In my opinion, Napoli defeat against Atalanta this time was due to the brilliance of the Atalanta goalkeeper and the poor finishing of the Napoli players.

Napoli star players definitely want to leave/move because theres so much disharmony in the club.
The Napoli president still intervenes to determine strategy and which players should play in every Napoli match.
If he wants to continue like that, he should just appoint himself as Manager/Coach of Napoli lol.
And now hes facing a heavy fine after pushed a TV cameraman while ending a player interview.
