Italian Serie A 2024/2025

Reijnders is Milan's best player.

He doesnt have much competition tho.

Conte’s Napoli are one of the worst watches in recent history… this is really pushing the concept of entertainment to its limits.

Yet still not as bad as Thiago Motta's Juventus. Watched their game last night
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz so dull.

Never rule out juBe - I predict they'll get Zirkzee this january, and who knows how he'll elevate them like he did with Bologna

Juventus will have to play better than Bologna and he's not good enough for them. IMO he wont elevate them at all and they already have enough 10s.
Their signings recently are mental.

One of the best things about Juve’s stumbles in recent years is that they actually have good players.

No doubt about that, but the most critical thing on a team that is going through transition phase, is having an adequate management. A team with proper ideas and strategy that can make a team win, in a long term though. Gobbi looks like they are rushing into things IMO.

I just watched chielini interview on overlap podcast with gary neville, roy keane etc… and they mentioned conte to him, and he immediately recoiled when remembering how much he had to run and train

He also mentioned how after two or three years it's basically impossible for him to continue with the same squad, coz he squeezes every last drop, and after that you either have to change a whole team or bring in a new coach. Direct quote from a big nose fuck
I mean we all knew this one way or the other, but it is fascinating to me first coz of the further confirmation from chielini but also how fuckin parasitic his approach is in a certain sense. It's almost like his coaching and methods are serving purpose to themselves, and not to the club, especially long term.

Also, i m now thinking that one of the reasons why he starts to stir shit up in every club is to protect his ego in a way. He knows his methods are a ticking time bomb, so once he senses the players are tired of him, he blames others and starts to hide behind those famous "principles" until he inevitably gets sacked. Hence, you rarely see someone mentioning his methods after sacking, but you always hear narratives like he is too much of a character, the club isn't ambitious enough, he didn't get players he wanted etc... It really is a great way to protect your image when your methods are deeply faulted in a long run.

to be honest, i have a similar opinion of mourinho too. mnot that there's anything wrong with it, Jose was brought in to his clubs to do a specific job, and until the last few years, is generally not bad at accomplishing them. He did an amazing job at Inter, but that was also a side who gave every single ounce of energy they had for him, and the squad needed significant replacements (that we couldnt afford). Same, for example, with Chelsea after he left them.

roma is only 2 points off the relegation zone holy fuck, they are in serious trouble

 

[Glass box]

If you have 3 sacked coaches on your payroll you deserve to get relegated for a lesson

 

[brakbrak]

Lmao Zaniolo celebrated like a little bitch, didn't know he left on a bad note

Explains why he does fuck all in Europe and can only focus on one front. You generally push hard during the break then you find a balanced rhytm. Cant imagine being pushed like a mule with this amount of games per season.

Also Roma looks like relegation candidates. This team is incredibly unbalanced. In contrast, Atalanta looks like it could go all the way. This year will be very very interesting in Serie A.

He broke his ACL there twice then got forced out

He left Roma on very bad terms. He put a transfer request and since then he was frozen out by Roma. There was interest from Spurs and Milan but Roma couldn't agree terms with them. Instead they found an agreement with Bournemouth but Zaniolo didn't want to go there. He was booed by Romanisti in the stadium and he had even received death threats that forced him to ask for police aid. Eventually he had to return to his hometown Spezia for his own protection as ultras even showed up at his house at a point. In the end he settled for Galatasaray to avoid spending the next 6 months in the stands.

Gala and generelly turkish league (i think arabs too) have the benefit of having a diffrent mercato closure. The same happend with Osihmen. Players who waited too long for a decision went there, it's not really fair honestly. A lot of players would not play there if they had the same mercato dates.

Napoli with the same number of 1-0 wins as Juve through 14 games last season. Napoli are 10-2-2 (+12 GD), Juventus were 10-3-1 (+13 GD).

Little bit of patience. It's hard to consistently grind out close results. Sometimes you sustain it over a whole season - 2022-'23 Barcelona had eleven 1-0 wins - but as I wrote previously, Conte's PL-winning Chelsea and his two Inter teams had considerably better goal differences than this Napoli team is pacing to have. The image of 1-0 Conteball is an extreme oversimplification. Right now, the story isn't that Napoli are impersonating last year's Juventus, it's that we have other credible title threats whereas last year it was only Juventus who gave us real competition for 2/3 of the season. Atalanta are looking better than ever, they have to be taken seriously at this point. And, of course, Fiorentina as well at least to this point...can't imagine the last time Serie A had two teams on 7+ game winning streaks at the same time.

Chiellini in his Roy Keane shirt. Daniele De Rossi expressing dismay when Keane cuts up his Pasta!

I think Conte always wants new players so he can rotate out the ones he's worn out. If he ever lasted long at a club that had cash he would win everything IMO. He is like Mourinho in the way that once he knows time is running out he starts blathering in the media to protect himself then gets a nice pay-off after being shitcanned but I'd take him over Mourinho any day.

 

[vex]

Tbh I don't think it's a money problem, no club in the world, no matter how rich they are, can recycle players faster than conte runs through them. When your methods are that extreme, you only have one or two transfer windows to make things happen before everything goes downhill. Hence, this positive effect he has at the start of every new job.

That's why imo napoli could be in a bigger pressure to win something this year than people realize, coz if they don't that reality where conte starts to moan and tell it's everyone else fault will quickly rear its ugly head.
