⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2024/2025⚽

he will definitely go to work in Saudi Arabia, where everyone is going thanks to the millionaire salaries
He had already been called to work there in the past, but while working with Roma he decided to say no
from this point of view he was a professional

Yes it was a professional move when he didn't want to leave Roma in the lurch. Otherwise the offer from a Saudi team was really a huge one. 

Now it is quite complicated honestly. After the rumours linking him with Napoli started to spread it is really not known where he would prefer to go. For example ESPN says that he has just rejected a move to Saudi Arabia and he is looking for joining a European team. But some other sources explain the situation as the opposite of this.    If he can't sign a deal with a team in Europe he should definitely go to Saudi Arabia.

[Lillominato89]

Are the rumors about Mourinho have already a deal with Napoli real ? I found this hard to believe because first of all Napoli and As.Roma fans really don't like each other and Mourinho will forever be an enemy of As.Roma no matter what he did for the club. That's why , I do hope he will find another team and he won't accept Napoli offer.

Also , this rumors are just from twitter and social media in general so for now I won't bother to actually believe them.

I have not seen any news recently related to Jose Mourinho getting a job offered to him from any of the Italian football clubs. He has also decided not to take rush with his next move to another club and that is exacehat should be done for him to take some good time off the football World and work on himself.
These two teams hating themselves will not stop him from getting a job from Napoli if the wages for him are enough and okay. They just have to provide the names he can use to win them tittles. For now Napoli are still right behind Walter Mazzari they are not going to sack him this season

Morinho should just go on an holiday trip to have some weeks off,he needs to cool himself and have a refreshed memory because it seems it's not just favouring him.He has not walked out in good terms from any club,he is always being sacked,and that doesn't speak good of him.I believe this time around,it might be difficult for him to get a job because  the record he has had is really bad and might make him not to get a coaching job.If I were him,I will retire from coaching and turn to sport analysis,this is what he can do very well without being criticised and questioned.Meanwhile,Roma won their first match with their new manager,meaning that the players are in support of Morinho's sack.

he will definitely go to work in Saudi Arabia, where everyone is going thanks to the millionaire salaries

I think you're right, now Mourinho has to go to the Arab Emirates and work under a rich and billion-dollar employment contract before leaving the world of football and retiring, the special one is starting to get old, so I think the next year we will see him in that beautiful championship that everyone admires! obviously I am joking! no one admires the Saudi pro league

It looks like Mourinho's next address is already clear.    It is speculated to be Napoli as it is stated on the source below.

The source: Goal.com

Mourinho is really likely to return to the Serie A once again these days. There has been a meeting which is expected to take place between Mourinho and Napoli chairman De Laurentiis. Is there anyone who knows about if this meeting happened already or not?

It looks like Mazzarri won't be staying at Napoli much longer either just as Rudi Garcia. I found this manager change unnecessary in the first place. What did they see in Mazzarri anyway? If Mourinho or some other successful manager was brought to Rudi Garcia's place then I would have found it logical. But this was a move made in a rush which didn't have good results for them. 

at the moment these are just speculations, I also read this news
as I know very well that Mazzarri is not a coach that the president likes, so both are just ferrying Napoli into next season in a difficult moment
It could be Jose Mourinho, but there is no confirmation, at moment

Mazzarri will be Napoli's coach until the end of the season, this is what we concretely know so far, what will happen after the end of the championship will certainly be based on the results obtained by Walter Mazzarri. It's difficult to say whether he will be next year's coach or whether Mourinho will take his place and as you say it's just speculation for the moment.
obviously Mourinho joining Napoli would be great news for Serie A even if in my opinion he is not the right coach for this team

[Lillominato89]

Atalanta - Udinese 2-0
Juventus - Empoli 1-1
Milan - Bologna 2-2

These are the verdicts of this Saturday, I would say that Inter can be considered lucky, both Juventus and Milan have drawn and have not put pressure on Inter that he has to play 2 matches still including the recovery of the match against Atalanta.
Winning against Fiorentina he would return to the top of the ranking with still 1 game to play

[Lillominato89]

Fiorentina - Inter 0-1

Very balanced game for all 90 minutes of play, in the first half Inter play well and risks a little and after 14 minutes he takes the lead thanks to the goal of the usual Lautaro Martinez. In the second half, however, Fiorentina playing better and creates many occasions but it wastes them all including a penalty kicked badly by Nico Gonzalez

what a slip by Juventus
clearly playing one man less doesn't help, and in fact they managed to snatch a point, it could have ended much worse

clearly this allows Inter to escape and go further away from Juventus

Juventus playing the whole match by having 10 players on the field was definitely very hard. At the same time, it was definitely a chance for them, a chance that they missed to get 3 points. Now against Inter, it is going to be harder for Juventus to win. Inter is currently at the top of the table and definitely not going to give away the first position to any other team. I think it is going to be a while for Juventus even if they can get 1 point from the match against Inter.

I was not too much surprised with the performance from Milan, because I know they can be a little inconsistent at times. And Bologna is also performing pretty well in recent times. So it was definitely not a surprise.

I don't know if Mazzarri will be able to keep his job until the end of the season. But it turns out Napoli chairman De Laurentiis made a statement to put an end to the speculations linking Mourinho with Napoli.

Napoli aren't going to bring Mourinho to Mazzarri's seat. De Laurentiis stated it clearly so I assume the speculations about it would end from now on. When it comes to what Mourinho's next team would be it is difficult to make sure of something now. The news I see the most recently is that Liverpool could think of bringing him at the end of the season. You know Klopp has announced his departure.

[LUCKMCFLY]

What you say is very true, the truth is that Juve's Draw has Been a Blessing for Inter , in this sense I could think that things are going very well for them, but Juve has a clear objective, furthermore Because it is the only championship where they are participating, can you imagine the motivation that each of the players have? Isn't it something normal , see that they are putting the almost previous UCL champion in trouble? This is something that can't be given like anything, this has a huge weight, plus the fact of seeing that Serie A is so Impressive , together with UEFA , the great Sacrifices that have been given to Juve , because everyone sees them as if they were going to do something more to them, right now at Juve they can't make mistakes, they can't be thinking that things can go just like that, they have to do something so they can go to a better position, the first place should be for I'm JUVE, but let's see how Inter can Push to stay, or whether it's easy for them.

The hardest thing About a team like Juve is that they are a team that Everyone is watching their performance, and everyone talks about whether they are worthy or not , how they have been fighting, how they have Been treated before the other championships, even if they think in how severe they have been with the treatment of Juve worldwide with their bans , so for that Reason I would like Juve to be able to reach first place and stay, because honestly if Napoli did it last time with a season where it was thank you that they took away the points from Juve, because things went and Looked that bad, it is something that I do not consider that Napoli is a great team , I know that it was Maradona's team and many have it I have great respect for that, but I think it is not so relevant, they need to show what defensive Champions they are.

Lautaro Martinez Strikes Again As Inter Milan Reclaim Top Spot From Juventus

Lautaro Martinez fired Inter Milan back to the top of Serie A with the only goal in Sunday's dramatic 1-0 win at Fiorentina, as depleted Napoli played out an uneventful goalless draw at Lazio. Argentina forward Martinez glanced home the decisive goal in the 14th minute of an action-packed contest in Florence in which Nicolas Gonzalez wasted a late penalty for the hosts, who had Inter on the back foot for much of the game. However it was a clash which ended with Inter one point ahead of Juventus, who were held by Empoli on Saturday, with a game in hand ahead of the two title rivals meeting at the San Siro next weekend.

"I can't say anything to these guys because we've won 17 matches from 21, scored 50 times and let in only 10. I can only applaud them," said Inter coach Simone Inzaghi to DAZN.

well yes obviously, the mistake was getting a red card
okay, come on, everything becomes more interesting, some people won't take it well in the thread but in my opinion it's part of the fun that football gives us
or rather the fact of being unpredictable

[Distraction]

Milan were quite weak at defending against Bologna honestly. They gave Bologna attackers big spaces to score goals. Milan aren't good at defending in general of the season though considering the number of goals they have conceded until this moment.    Two penalties missed by Giroud and Theo also... I think Milan didn't deserve a win already after this effort.

Have you seen Theo's penalty? His goal didn't count because of touching the ball himself instead of someone else after the ball came back from the post. I think it is a really meaningless rule, what do you think? 

[bastisisca]

What you say is very true, the truth is that Juve's Draw has Been a Blessing for Inter , in this sense I could think that things are going very well for them, but Juve has a clear objective, furthermore Because it is the only championship where they are participating, can you imagine the motivation that each of the players have?
--cut--

this tactical and strategic error by Juventus gives league leaders Inter some breathing room, who now find themselves managing a greater advantage, therefore a greater possibility of planning more aggressive plays or actions
Which also makes them calmer on the Champions League side, in short, a great thing for them.

Milan doesn't convince me as a team, and I wonder every day how they manage to stay in third place.
I don't consider Pioli a good coach, for many reasons, but these are my opinions, which doesn't mean they are right or true.
Now Milan is aiming for the Champions League zone, you can see it

i see, this (penality) happen, human error

On the other hand, I am noticing, looking at an excerpt all together that you made (thanks for this, it is really useful in my opinion and made me notice this thing) that teams now dont buy, but borrow
It allows you to save money and do some testing, interesting

[Slow death]

well, there have already been two games in which Roma were under the command of the new coach and Roma won in those 2 games, the games were against weak teams, but still getting 2 victories in the first 2 games as coach, hi a good achievement for debut of the new coach, but looking at the objective of the Roma management, which seems to me to be the classification of Roma in the European Champions League, so I see a very difficult mission for the new coach, Roma has more games compared to the others teams, that's why they are in position 5 and when the other teams play, then Roma will fall in position. It will definitely be difficult for Roma to finish in 3rd or 4th place. mainly because they have napoli, atalanta, lazio as rivals

And unfortunately for Roma, they are still going to play Inter on February 10th, I honestly see Roma losing points when they play against Inter, and talking about Inter, in 4 days Inter will play against Juventus, this it will be a game in which if juventus wants to fight for the title they will need to win, something that in my opinion at most juventus would get a draw, I see inter winning this game and if inter actually leaves the game against juventus with victory, then the inter will already be on the right path to becoming champion. My question if Juventus doesn't become champion this season will be: what does Juventus management have as their goals?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, Inter has for now one point of advantage, it Cannot be trusted because when things are with teams like this, Juve has everything to keep pace with Inter and thus Juve can do many things, personally they can always do Things to that this Team can give its best, Juve is clear about it, they will not give up any more, even if they are that they Cannot play any game, I think they will leave everything, because they want to take over the first place, and it is also the golden opportunity they have We are all waiting to see how the games that are coming up can develop, but the one we are most looking forward to is Juve vs Inter, it is the game that I think all of us Italians and the fans would like to see happen, that's how it is. You will Realize that the one who has the highest level, the rivalry is there, the fans are waiting, that's just it, in this order of ideas things can happen very well, I don't know, but I think that when it comes to putting on a good Show , this is the one. better.

Those of Juve have everything to win, above all they already have the strategies so that they can play against Inzhagui's team, this coach is very good, I remember when he Played that it was a poem , now , with the leadership of this player because the things can be done Very well and ready for them to play a great game, then every time Juve plays, we will have all the attention on them, Juve for me is a team that is giving everything Away, they have their only Championship , they don't have right now they don't have another championship for now, and that's what I don't like , that's why I see this team as one of the best in the world, Inter will show that they are the leader and I'm very sure that they will put that game on They have a lot of Strength and a lot of strategy, I'm sure that Inter will not stop attacking even though they are a very defensive team , I don't know how Juve will do it, both of them for me are titans.

Juventus transfers: Why Alcaraz could land in Italy later than expected

Carlos Alcaraz will join Juventus on an initial loan deal from Southampton, but he may land in Italy after the end of the winter transfer window to sort out his visa.

Southampton midfielder Alcaraz is on the verge of joining Juventus from Southampton as the two clubs have shaken hands on an initial loan transfer with an option to buy. The value of the transfer package is around €53m.

However, it is still uncertain that the 21-year-old will be in Turin before the end of the winter transfer window.

Sky Sport Italia’s correspondent in Turin, Giovanni Guardalà, has just said that Alcaraz won’t land in Italy before sorting out his visa. This means he could land in the Peninsula on Thursday or Friday, after signing his contract with the Bianconeri.

Loan option has many advantages and also has different goals, and many teams even carry out loans for quite long periods.
Indeed, borrowing will be able to save money because there is no need to pay more for purchases and of course the loan will be able to be used as temporary replacement player if the main player suffers long-term injury or there is player vacancy because the contract expires.
Apart from that, borrowing can also be aimed at testing players to see whether they can make big contribution or not considering the purchase price is quite high and if they can't make big contribution then this is clearly detrimental thing.
But usually loans will only be made to players who are not that great because great players will always be retained by the team that owns them and will only be given if the sale and purchase agreement has really been agreed.
Even so, there is still risk that will occur, such as loan player getting injured and here the team that actually has him will suffer loss, especially if the injury is fatal.

i see, this (penality) happen, human error

AC Milan performances so far has been very questionable and lacks consistency, which is why they continues to lag behind Inter and Juventus in terms of points and consistency. However, AC Milan was able to staying in third placed for quite a longs time and I think AC Milan might end this seasons in third position but at least still has the opportunity to secure a ticket to the UCL next seasons.
AC Milan coaching cannot be said to be good because I heard the news that AC Milan will replaced the coachs at the end of this season with Antonio Conte and it seems that this have reached a definite agreement
