Italian Serie A 2024/2025

[Kramerica Industries]

Serie A's first day finishes with four draws out of four games.

 

[ElDuccio]

i swear im more mad about milan being lucky as always then about the genoa inter game, jesus christ.

 

[Glass box]

I genuinely think Fonseca is terrible. Not sure if he'll last the whole season.

 

[Ethor]

Would be great if the rest week 1 matches all end in draws.

Watched the Milan-Torino game, a tough result for Torino, they played very well until the 88th minute.

The way they move around with 352 seems fluid, Bellanova and Lazaro exploit the flanks and Ilic and Ricci control the midfield. Milan's dreadful defence was on display. Calabria, Thiaw isn't having a good game today, and Fonseca's decision to play Saelemaeker at left-back is far too bold, as he often leaves space open there.

Luckily for Milan, Torino simply don't have the right players to cover the positions like the big teams do, after Zapata, Ilic, Lazaro and Bellanova came out, the team looks unbalanced. They certainly lack proper defenders like Schuurs and Buongiorno.

Milan still don't seem to be able to cope with teams playing 3 at the back, and they still don't look very cohesive despite starting with most of the same players as last season.

Looking forward to the matchday 5 against us.

Anyway, the next three games won't involve a lot of travelling. This would be very helpful for our players to be better prepared earlier.

24-08-24 Inter vs Lecce
30-08-24 Inter vs Atalanta
15-09-24 Monza vs Inter
17–19 September 2024 - UCL Matchday 1
22-09-24 Inter vs AC Milan

It's a shame we lost Bellanova, he's a great player now. Last season he perfomed better then Dimarco statistically, that says already a lot. He deserves the national team, if only Spalletti would field the right formation with the right players...

Their individual defenders are atrocious

They are?
I remember for 1-2 years people in here were hyping those average dudes up

They were always trash. Tomori and Kalulu were just quick so they could play a higher line. Speed of Leao, Hernandez, Kalulu and Tomori was enough to make them difficult for 90% of Serie A teams.

so atalanta will be without scamacca koopmeiners and lookman

and scalvini

and zaniolo

tough

Atalanta still pays small salaries. Players at their peak 26, 27 they want 3-4-5M€ net wages after winning EL like Koop and Lookman.

and i dont blame players at all

its their time to get more money

but its tough for atalanta, with all these transfers out and injuries they will be fucked for half a season

 

[thatdude]

Just saw Lookman wasn’t called up or may have even refused a call up because he wants to go to PSG. Thats a huge loss for Atalanta if true.

Never in my life thought I'd see Lookman linked with one of the richest clubs. Scoring a brace in a European final has its benefits.

 

[Jnr]

Nipples with Simeone , Kvichka and Politano under Conte should be fun. Still no Lukaku and Osimhen on a limbo.

What a clusterfuck by DeLa.

 

[Linege]

and with juan jesus in defence

they should keep osimhen, raspadori and simeone and sell kvara and politano, but no

enjoy

 

[ElDuccio]

David Neres should be official soon and probably replace politano. I think Conte really dislikes this guy. He was also replaced at Inter after Conte came.

 

[Linege]

hahaha juan jesus is a garbage defender 1-0 for hellas

 

[Earth]

I wonder if Conte could pull off his old trick of quitting and still receiving millions, like when he ripped us off. he must be smelling that bag this Napoli team is hot trash.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Napoli are definitely a squad in limbo until they get the Oshimen transfer figured out. Simeone and Raspadori aren’t scaring anyone. And players like Politano, Di Lorenzo and Jesus still starting for them aren’t ideal conditions.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Only, what was that, a 1-2 step penalty kick run-up is definitely a decision...

Udinese salvage the penalty kick stop by scoring off the ensuing corner.
