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

The new system that is being tried is something that may take a while, maybe fans should wait a few more weeks before they make a judgement? I mean it is not an easy thing to manage a team, it's even harder to go into a new team, a big one at that, and try to put your system in and try to do well. This should be something that will take a while and we may not see results that easily neither, we may need to focus on trying to just give him some more time.

This is why I think it's clear that he may have some issues at times. But eventually it will show itself how much he is good or bad really, if he keeps being bad then they will fire him anyway, if he becomes good then he will keep his job, that is why waiting is the important part.

True, there is a new system and we should wait. In certain cases, like this one, you realize very well that it's not working. Poor play, poor results, poor points collection.
With the money invested you can't make a figure like that, for Milan I mean.
Then of course, we have to wait, but not indefinitely, it's going worse than last year with a not very good coach.

Milan are doing very badly, only 2 points as you will surely have noticed from the rankings I posted...

Yeah, very bad situation for Milan: I saw that Milan are struggling a bit. Hopefully they can turn it around. We need someone like Ibra to shake things up. As for Roma, we're not doing great either, but I believe in De Rossi.

Roma sign ex-Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels

AS Roma have completed the signing of former Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels on a free transfer, the Serie A club announced Wednesday.

Hummels left Dortmund at the expiration of his contract this summer. The 35-year-old spent 13 seasons with the Bundesliga side, making 508 appearances across two spells.

Details of the transfer were not revealed but Italian media reported the 35-year-old has signed a season-long deal for €2.5 million ($2.8 million).

After helping Dortmund to win Bundesliga titles in 2010 and 2011, Hummels signed for Bayern Munich, whose academy he came through, in 2016. Following three trophy-laden years at the Allianz Arena, he returned to Dortmund in 2019.

In his final season in Dortmund, Hummels was a key figure in the team's run to the Champions League final and started in the defeat to Real Madrid at Wembley.

Hummels has won 78 caps for Germany and was part of the 2014 World Cup-winning team but was left out of the squad for this summer's European Championship.

Hermoso and Hummels are last second signings for Roma really. They have stolen both of them from the hands of some Turkish teams by intervening. As for if they really needed 2 centre-back signings, it looks like they did.    Because after these 2 players have come, there are 4 centre-backs in the team now. Squad depth is really important you know.

I think these are good signings at the same time. Roma still have defensive problems. Hummels is a very experienced defender. I believe in him. Hermoso is also pretty good. After signing Le Normand, Atletico Madrid wanted to release him.

If they don't wake up they will get a lot of slaps in my opinion. Given that if you invest money and it doesn't come back by playing in the Champions League and with season tickets, it becomes a problem.
It becomes a destructive downward spiral that takes you deeper and deeper.
Now I don't know if Fonseca is good or not, the fact is that Milan are doing worse than Pioli was.

Roma has gone from 0 CBs depth to 4 starting CBs. That's insanely good for our squad; it means they can be rotated as starters. Rotation will be key because this is going to be a long season for us. I couldn't be happier than seeing them join us. And for your information, Hummels rejected Lazio's offer before he joined us. He has become an instant legend after that. 

Also, Hummels and Hermoso had the most line-breaking passes in UCL last season.

Lautaro? disapper

I had read, I don't remember where, that he had had some physical problems and that he wasn't really well.
He is recovering and in my opinion with the other Inter attackers if he finds an agreement it will be devastating.
Chiaro currently seems out of contention as a top scorer but last year he did really well.

There is no one to blame, these two clubs are indeed struggling at the bottom of the standings and this is just the beginning of the season anything can change over time, but we are waiting for the time when both AC Milan and AS Roma are able to restore their positions at the bottom of the standings, AC Milan does not need a figure like Ibra but how the coach is able to mix AC Milan to be better because this is his job in any game pattern because all directions are from the coach in choosing a captain figure for his team in building cohesion in all lines.

Milan can't turn it around without a connection between Fonsesca and his players. He was struggling with his players, and it can be seen from the results in the last games. He found it very hard to implement his gameplay to his players. This is due to a lack of understanding and tactical laziness from his players.

This is pretty much the same as what happened to Pioli. He had given his team a game plan, but for the same reasons, it was not working.

I see the same thing with Fonsesca. He struggles to motivate his players to run his game plan. it's caused by his players lack understanding and are tactically lazy. They got 2 points from three games by playing without a game plan. It's normal for a club that doesn't have chemistry between coach and players.

That's why Fonsesca looks the same as Pioli.

Roma are trying to get out of the quagmire of mediocre teams, they are trying really hard and I see that De Rossi is working really hard to fix everything.
I don't think they will have a stellar season, but they will certainly be able to assert themselves, it's not a team you can face lightly.
I see this season looking good.

I'm not really sure whether AS Roma really needs the center back or not because I think even though at the beginning of this season AS Roma did not have a winning result but I think AS Roma's defense line is still pretty good. Also, about Hermoso and Hummels, in fact the two players are also not tied to a club or are not tied to a contract with any team, so AS Roma can bring them in for free. Because after all, Hermoso and Hummels basically did not extend their contracts at their previous teams Hermoso at Ateltico and Hummels at Dortmund but indeed, at least with their presence maybe AS Roma can quickly recover from the bad results they got at the beginning of this season.

In addition, I am still really looking forward to Dovbyk's performance because honestly, I think Dovbyk will be able to quickly contribute to AS Roma. But after all, what happened right now is that Dovbyk also seemed to have an injury when playing against Juventus. I don't know for sure what injury Dovbyk suffered, but at least Dovbyk must recover quickly to be able to play again after this international break.

Roma sign ex-Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels

AS Roma have completed the signing of former Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels on a free transfer, the Serie A club announced Wednesday.

These bastards stole Hummels from our hands.    I mean Galatasaray was also after him and I really hoped us to sign him. Because we have had really big defensive issues lately and we needed a solid defender like him...

Anyway good luck to him at Roma. I'm not gonna lie. I really want to see Roma being more successful in the Serie A this season. De Rossi was one of the players I really liked in Italy. I would like to see him doing nice things as a coach also.

But they have started the season really poorly. 0 wins in 3 games until now.    The biggest problem is with scoring. Only 1 goal scored... Dybala and Dovbyk both started badly. Dovbyk is injured now too.

True, in fact you're not entirely wrong, they should have thought of a serious attacker rather than defenders, they didn't have any particular problems in defense.
However, the attack is in really bad shape, I was thinking this too: only 1 goal scored, which is really very little for a team like Roma.
They need a good stricker.

[Distraction]

It isn't good to see Lautaro Martinez starting with poor performances in the first 2 matches.    He scored 24 goals last season and it must be the season in which he scored his most goals in his career. But I don't want to judge him too much because of this look for now. He has been one of the most consistent players at Inter. Every player has bad times so I hope to see him recovering soon.

Besides this is no obstacle for Inter to score goals so far either. That makes me really happy.    It is all thanks to playing strong as a team. Thuram really impressed me by the way. 4 goals in 3 matches... He makes up for Lautaro.

What are your expectations? Will we see a back-to-back title by Inter? I think they will do it.

In fact you said it, if they are free why not take them. In any case I see that it is moving after a period of total stasis.
The Lukaku problem had really paralyzed them and in the end, as I had hypothesized, Romero went to Napoli to his friend Antonio Conte.
Luckily they recovered and made some good trades.

Roma are conducting a truly poor signing campaign. They signed defenders when in reality what they needed were clearly attackers.
They remained waiting to find out the end of Romero Lukaku without making claims, without raising the stakes.
I don't understand this honestly. For the next football transfer window we need to review the strategies.

Indeed, AS Roma has bad plan in this summer transfer window, they can't take advantage of the situation by bringing in the players they need and to be honest I not sure AS Roma will be able to perform better than last season.
Problem related to Lukaku is actually unrelated but we can see that when Lukaku played with AS Roma he could still show satisfactory results, but it was only one-season loan and AS Roma couldn't afford to buy him permanently.
AS Roma chance for this summer to get Lukaku back was also there but they didn't take it so that in the end Lukaku got an agreement between Chelsea and Napoli, this would be very unfortunate considering that AS Roma still needs an attacking player like Lukaku and after Lukaku departure they also haven't been able to find replacement.

I don't get it why As Roma chose to sign Hummels at the end of his career and why they are not giving chances to their young talented defenders that can grow up this season by a lot and be an important key players for next seasons .... . Hopefully Lazio will beat As.Roma in all matches from this year and their defenders won't be able to do anything as that would show up how bad this transfers really are.

I remember the early 2000's with Serie A being the home of champions and the best players in the world would have chose to play in Italy but with time passing by , Serie A became the home of retirement of good players from LaLiga , Bundesliga and even Premier League ((.

You'll see that they recover, after all Roma still have to digest the fact that they have reached a pinch of the Champions League
the players will be really annoyed by this thing that happened to them so in my opinion they will play much more mean and aggressive
I see positive
