Serie A

[Vilarrubi]

Prediction: One of Inter, Lazio, Atalanta pull their finger out next season and Juve don’t win Serie A, Pirlo getting sacked at the end of season.

About time CR7 suffered through a train wreck of a team/management.

He's had it rosy between SAF, Perez, Ancelotti, ZZ etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if he packs his bags and gets into MLS within a year.

Pirlo at the helm is a bit odd. He comes across a bit too stoic for this side, but it may be my distant impression of him coming through. Calm managers cancel out the vocal and disorganised but talented sides. Not sure if personality fits, but if they have so much confidence in him as to give him the job, there must be something to it. I'm curious to see the effects since their squad is getting younger by the day.

He won?t go to MLS or China whatever. He?d need to give up on Balon d?Or.

Would be great. Serie A has been the least competitive European league in the last 7-8 years.

At the end of next season he'll be 36 years old. He knows the best option will be to stat-pad in weaker leagues.

This season he will stay though, yes. Imo.

I think Inter will win it.

He can still statpad in Europe coming 3 seasons. If he stays at Juventus he will get his goals especially with all the penalties. Or he can go to PSG to statpad. Almost as easy as China or States.

Also man loves his CL.

Good point. France would be incredible for stat padding.

Juve and PSG will not want a 36 year old just to take penalties Much less use him in the CL.

There was a PSG rumour a few days ago. PSG would be interested in his marketing boost, him Mbappe and Neymar all in one side.

Zlatan is still kicking it at 38, Beckham moved to PSG at 37. Not entirely implausible he moves there nor that he moves to MLS and still returns to a top level European club after.

Neymar had already a big conflict with Cavani because of penalties. I wonder what will happen if Ronaldo who wants to kick the penalties and free kicks would come

Imagine Neymar Ronaldo Mbappe and Icardi/Wanda "ego wars"... It would be a trilogy worthy of Lord of the Ri... penalties.

LOL... One penalty taker to rule them all.

Horryfing stats:

During the last 6 years there have been 20 ACL injuries, distributed between 16 players, at AS Roma.
This is 833% of the expected number, which is 0.4 average ACL injuries per season (= 2.4 in 6 seasons)

 

[El Gato]

Pirlo going full on madlad with the lineup too?

Lol

Matter of fact here's a cracker of a breakdown article by The Athletic. They spoke to Pirlo's coaching staff and broke down his dissertation submitted for coaching Pro license.
