>Dopo 24 ore desidero chiarire il mio pensiero. Ieri sera ho parlato alla fine della partita e mi sono espresso in modo evidentemente troppo sbrigativo, che è stato male interpretato su un argomento per il quale non basterebbero ore e per il quale si lotta da anni. Condanno ogni forma di razzismo e discriminazione. Certi atteggiamenti sono sempre ingiustificabili e su questo non ci possono essere fraintendimenti. After 24 hours I want to clarify my feelings. Yesterday I was interviewed right at the end of the game, and my words have been clearly misunderstood, probably because I was too hasty in the way I expressed my thoughts. Hours and years wouldn't be enough to talk about this topic. I firmly condemn all forms of racism and discrimination. The abuses are not acceptable at all and this must not be misunderstood.
kek that penalty for SPAL is hilarious >Cionek falls >gets up quickly, shaking his finger and saying no it wasn't foul >still gets a yellow for diving >this allows VAR to call Guida and tell him he made a mistake >tfw it actually was foul all along Mastermind Cionek. Make it seem like you dived and get a yellow so VAR can't come up with the "it wasn't an obvious mistake" bullshit

James Mitchell
Cionek was diffidato and didn't want to miss next game, he preferred not asking for anything and not risking anything but turned out he was right It's not like you wouldn't call them ghost goals even if they were regular. If he scores a bycicle like the one against Jj last year you would say it's a foul on De Sciglio's counterpart for almost hitting his face
>Mazzarri getting interviewed >Sky sport studio plays the CL anthem in the background >he gets triggered saying they are going to jinx him based as fuck
Christopher Garcia
Mazzarri is a national treasure, imagine him sperging like a madman leading his squad of tall defenders to extreme bus parking against european top teams.
Ethan Phillips
Dare I say that he actually behaved decently? He said that Mauro did well, and "payed his due". Is he really going to behave like a normal human being? Sorry for the albanian style double post btw
Adrian Gomez
>mfw De Silvestri heads it in at the 90' dabbing on Stones after Pep's City crashed repeatedly on Nkulu and the gang and Rincon broke half of their midfielders
He's always clam and collected when he wins, while he's always absolutely SEETHING when he loses, no inbetween
Jaxon Cox
1s goal --> Ghostnaldo fouls Atleti defender 2nd goal --> Never went in, that's why the Juve cameramen cut that last replay so awkwardly not showing the ball actually going in and just showing Cristiano's header and then immediately cutting to him celebrating 3rd goal --> Bernardeschi clear dive in the box never a pen
Deal with it.
Parker Parker

>ronaldo on the left >kean as 9 >pootinho absolutely retarded
Jeremiah Young
It would be easier to believe you were serious if you had Rugani instead of Can there. But Juve are too defensive as they are using 4-3-3, give Maxi a formation like that and you'll mostly find Ronaldo in defense for most of the game, playing the Dzu role.
Easton Wright
Saving this thread (kind of), Serie B matchday 31 results
-7 matchdays left to end the league -Brescia and Lecce leading at the top (both 54pts) -Palermo returned to their choking habit -Spezia recovers their 6pts as the team paid the debts -Because of the aforementioned paid debts, Spezia returns to playoff spot, while Cittadella drops
*Foggia´s original position would be 15th instead of 17th, Crotone would be fighting for staying against Livorno and Venezia would be relegated directly, but Foggia lost 6 points because of debts
Zachary Lopez
Coutinho behind Kean and Ronaldo, as a 10, would make more sense
Camden Roberts
I am watching the Real Gabigol at Copa Libertadores and he hasnt become great.
Jackson Harris
Everyone talking about Kean like he's some great all of a sudden.
Dylan White

Carter Jenkins

Looks like Icardi has finally hired a social media manager
Gabriel Moore
>Spezia recovers their 6pts as the team paid the debts lel, only in Serie B. Aren't Spezia also the ones that might get banned for using a black guy immigrated irregularly?
David Roberts
He actually threw a fit at a pundit on sky when the guy told Spalletti he can finally relax with a glass of wine after getting through all that Icardi bullshit
Anthony Morgan
It's the same lineup he used against Atletico and it was the most offensive he ever was, Can would be a 'falso cinco' with the freedom to support the midfield
Benjamin Johnson
Icardi > Real Madrid Dzeko > Inter Higuain > Roma Zaniolo > Juve

Carson Evans
>> >Icardi > Real Madrid Yeah because florentino is going to be retarded two years in a row >Dzeko > Inter Might happen but if they didn't want to pay more than 4.5 to icardi will they give it to dzeko? >Higuain > Roma See above but even worse. Higuain already earns double what Dzeko earns >Zaniolo > Juve Might happen but probably won't happen this year
I guess this confirms juve isn't going for another centre forward, so unless Florentino makes a move Icardi stays
Carson Miller
So is Gattuso sacked yet?
James Cook
Nah, they wont sack him untill the end of the season. I hpe hope they kick him out for next year regardless of the results tho.
Jayden Evans
Only about 9 games left to endure
Anthony Wright
I've been an apologist of his for a while, but it's clear from anyone that his lack of experience shows he's not ready to manage a team that wants to go CL.
Reckon the team is good enough for Sarri or Conte to manage and do well, though.
David Roberts

Jordan Campbell
Gattuso is making a miracle with that milan team
Benjamin Murphy
>a group of Napoli supporters, living in Campania, managed to get tickets for the match between Roma and Napoli despite the ban >once they got to the stadium they weren't allowed inside after an ID check >are now asking for a refund and saying they will press charges against Roma Yeah nothing shady here. Definitely didn't know that people living in Campania can't attend a match in Rome since like 10 years ago. It's all prejudice and they're not trying to scam anybody
Lincoln Evans
As a Sfinterist, I think we should sell Icardi and Perisic, and try to see if we can manage with Pinamonti, Lautaro, Politano, and a winger to replace Perisic
Would Napoli sell Mertens? he is over 30, and doesnt play that much nowadays because of their 4-4-2 with the Pole and Insigne
Caleb Sanchez
Who are the quality players though? I can onky think of Paqueta, Piatek and Romagnoli
Brandon Robinson

>mandzukic gets to wind down his career at juventus >del piero didn't what did they mean by this
Cooper Turner
Mandzukic knees didn't explode as much as ADP so he can still be useful at 34 when his new deal runs out tbf
Sebastian Edwards
*didn't explode yet IIRC ADP was booted mostly because he wanted to stay a key feature in the first team even though he was past it. Wonder how Mandzukic will handle potential prolonged bench time as he gets older. Just think a "legend" like ADP deserved more from the club dbi.
Joshua Rivera
Donnarumma, Baka and Kessie are better than anything Inzaghi and Gasperini have to work with as well. They have to start shitters like Luis Felipe and Gym City every week and they are one point behind Gattuso ffs

Poor Bologna, they don't deserve to go. Nabule gifting Empoli 3 points and finding Atalanta in god mode, that's bad luck

Of course but it can be real.
Oliver Bennett
think about it for a second. Do you really want a team that fucked up in europa league qualifiers to be any where near a champions league group stage match? We all know how bad scatalanta can be, so seriously think about this
Jaxon Martinez
Every club has to go through an embarrassing European defeat or two to gain experience desu. You can't say they don't deserve it.
Ofcourse they're an EL-level club at best but everyone loves a fairytale
I'd rather have Atalanta than Roma or Lazio for sure.

Asher Ward
you guys are too young, but at one time it was the italian version of leicester. they came from the lowest series, raising constant, with the same coach and same core of players, with no billionaire daddy. They came to Serie A and had an amazing run,keeping the first place for many weeks. Then of course they couldn't keep it up, but they still managed to end in a high place
Nathan Richardson
Atalanta went out this year after penalties and having dominating the matches. Two years ago was kino and they lost just one match and went out because of stupid Berisha.
wtf I love incest now the most beautiful girl I've ever seen has heterochromia, right eye is brown and left is blue and I've been more or less in love with her for almost two years now.

>Zaniolo's father: "Only Inter or Juve for Zaniolo"
Fras
Austin Peterson
He said that inter and juve want him if Roma decides to sell him. They're talking about a renewal now and he's putting pressure on Roma. The moment Roma sells Zaniolo is the moment everyone will be up their asses. It makes more sense to sell the rest of the squad and play with the youth team + Zaniolo from their point of view. Which is "let's try to keep everybody calm until we know if we can build the stadium"
Kevin Sanders
>“Mio figlio firmerà il rinnovo di contratto con la Roma, se poi il club dovrà sacrificarlo in Italia ci sono Inter e Juventus.” >My son will sign the renewal with Roma, if the club then will have to sacrifice him in Italy there's Inter an Juve" bit of a stretch from this to "only Inter and Juve"

>Max Allegri has declared that he would like to be Juventus’ Sir Alex Ferguson because ‘it would mean staying for so many years.’ Ferguson won 38 trophies as Manchester United manager between 1986 and 2013, and Allegri admits he has the Scot in his sights at Juve.
>“There’s always someone who wants to make football more difficult, and it drives me crazy,” he told Corriere della Sera to promote his new book, ‘It’s Very Simple’. I don’t feel that way about anyone in particular. I can only say that they make what’s simple complicated. Simplicity is the most complicated thing, but we’re going in the wrong direction because complicating things makes our work even more difficult.
>“A corporate Coach is a Coach who brings results. I consider myself a manager for the club, who has to bring home results at the end of the season, not only on a sporting level but also in terms of player growth. These are results that ultimately affect the club’s financial statements. I hope I have a role like Ferguson’s because it would mean staying at Juventus for so many years.”
>The Old Lady are among the favourites to win this season’s Champions League after their comeback against Atletico Madrid set up a quarter-final with Ajax, but they lost 4-1 to Real Madrid in the 2017 Final… “Complacency and presumption can make you lose sense of reality,” explained the Coach. “In the Final with Real we had too much optimism and security. Now we must win in Europe, as we must in Italy. Behind Ajax’s growth is their individual talents within a system that teaches children to play football and doesn’t mechanise them.”

Anthony Wood
>le argentinian developer of youth prospects manager if this was true it would confirm that Milan execs aren't pushing at all for improving the actual state of the club for the sake of winning and taking it back where it should be, but instead what they have in mind is just to turn it into a profit factory outlet for bigger clubs (as it happened with Roma recently) hoping that the majority of fans won't find out can't get more pitiable than this
>Totti wants Gattuso to replace Ranieri at AS Roma >someone wants Gattuso WTF
Caleb Green
I don't get all the hate for Gattuso, sure his playstyle is not a looker but all things considered he's done alright with the tools he's been given if anyone thinks this botch job of a Milan team, with this sort of players and backroom staff, is top 3 material is a liar or a lunatic
Ayden Morgan
The second one on Wednesday wasn't even intended BUT he should stop being scared of trying to do stuff and try some 1v1. He could improve a lot but he seems too scared to make mistakes. I don't want him at Roma but only delusional Milan customers can complain about what Gattuso did with those shit players.
Whlie is far from being top coach there's not a single top coach that is gonna willingly go to current Milan. Even then Milan will never get him because he has 40 millions clousure on his contract. Sarri and Gasperini are >our best chances. Conte would be a dream
he's just lucky Piatek converts pretty much every single chance he gets, with a mediocre striker he would be on pair with Fiorentina on points. Literally relegation fodder tier negative football.

Ian Butler
I guess it's really just my opinion, but he did pretty well last season, having managing the side for only half a season.

Do you guys think Juve change their formation next year or do they sell Dybala? It's clear one of the two has to happen just curious as to what everybody thinks.
Thomas Sanders
What did he do exactly to be considered very well?
Jose Hughes
I think Dybala is the last player Juve wants to sell, despite not shining that much this season. More likely they'll sell Alex Sandro or Douglas Costa, maybe Khedira too. That said we don't even know if Allegri stays, some things could depend by this fact.
Blake Walker
If dybala wants to go juve will sell him. They always did.
Andrew Mitchell
Yeah, clearly if he wants to go they will sell him, that was implicit. At least cases like Perisic or Icardi aren't going to happen
Aiden Scott
I think Allegri wasn't kidding at all with that Ferguson thing
I just watched an interview to Julio Cruz who was invited to a tv show to talk about the problem of Icardi, Wanda, the Inter locker room and Spaletti, and also about how Adriano was an immature nigga who ruined his career, because an important player of our league is being like them.
>The Qatari government is reportedly considering investment in Roma or Milan as it looks to expand its portfolio in football. According to Milano Finanza, Qatar – which already owns Paris Saint-Germain through the Qatar Investment Authority - is ‘following the two clubs closely’.
>The website explains James Pallotta could sell up if the Stadio della Roma project continues to stagnate, with the Giallorossi already sponsored by Qatar Airways. However, the lukewarm response to Qatari involvement at the Olimpico would have kept Milan ‘under consideration’.
>Calcio e Finanza writes that while Elliott Management has guaranteed investment in the Rossoneri, it could leave the club in Qatari hands once the club’s accounts have been settled and plans for a new stadium are approved.
Connor Kelly
>However, the lukewarm response to Qatari involvement at the Olimpico

To do so they agreed that Pallotta wasn't going to pay up for the various roads improvement, build a bridge and the extension of a subway line. Instead now it should have a station on one of the worst train itinerary of Italy and a bridge that is a completely different project that has been waiting for approval for like 10 years >traffic in the area is already a mess every workday imagine injecting the number of cars that a 60k stadium would bring into that mess >contractor never paid for the area that he now "owns" and is going to sell it to Pallotta for 100m the whole project used to be way cheaper for Pallotta considering Parnasi is in debt with Unicredit and was picked even before they started looking for someone to buy the club >there's a stand of the old horse racetrack that can't be took down without special permission, which was given only under bribery and after removing the official that was against it >all the various permits were linked to corruption done by the contractor to "convince" the current administration not to vote against it, despite what they said before the elections >stadium is a minimal part of the whole project It's basically a case of media supporting land speculation while bureaucracy actually does its fucking job. Honestly after the shitshow that the European elections will be for the five star movement, especially here in Rome, you can expect them to cut their losses by telling Pallotta to fuck off.
Suso, Borini, Calabria... What a fucking joke. Gattuso is a piece of shit. He's clearly looking to get sacked so he can get his money. Greedy piece of shit, as if he doesn't have enough money from his playing career already.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I said that I don't post here during the match except for rare occasions. I don't see what Dida has to do with this.

Benjamin Ward
>More than Memetella and 2nd rate veteran coaches. LOL no. Little Airplane at least won us something. Also Mihajlovic played better football than him with a way worse team.
Gattuso is straight garbage. He's only in 4th place because of Roma and Lazio failing.

>*distant slams slowly growing in intensity* user, what have you done
538's CL qualification probabilities after each matchday
Impact from Milan's signings Paquetá & Piątek (around matchday 22-23) is just ridiculous. They immediately lifted their team up and almost secured an UCL spot in 5-6 matches.
Derby della Capitale (matchday 26) destroyed Roma's chances for a spot in the UCL, and EdF/Monchi breakdown continued to burn the season down. Meanwhile, the derby invigorated Lazio to fight for the 4th spot.
Derby di Milano (matchday 28) stopped Milan's streak dead on its tracks, and they haven't been able to recover from that punch to the jawline. Meanwhile, the derby revitalized Inter out from their internal drama and they're well on their way to securing an UCL spot.
SPAL is Rome's nightmare: Roma's drop in md28 AND Lazio's drop in md30 are because of losses to them.
Atalanta almost went out of the UCL race, but they refuse to stop fighting.
Roma is the first of the 5 contenders to drop below 10% chance to qualify.
>never in danger of relegation, because you are too good >know you're not going to compete for the title from the very start of the season, because you are too shit >no expectations to secure a European football spot, even though you sometimes get lucky and finish 6th

Joshua Ortiz
>the only good GK Milan had under Berlusconi tenure is Abbiati, everybody who watched their games and knows a little about football certainly agrees with this LOL I like Abbiati but you're full of shit. Dida was class albeit a bit inconsistent at times before the flare incident. Rossi was great but unfortunately he doesn't get the credit he deserves because people think it was the GOAT defense which made him look good which doesn't really make sense considering GOAT defense or not going that long without conceding a goal in early 90s Serie A is a huge feat. The fact that he was also popular with the other Milan teammates and the fact that even Boban dedicated a column about him in his editorial(where he usually wrote about Croatian Football Legends) says a lot.
I'll grant you that Milan doesn't usually have good keepers and most Milan keepers have been mediocre but they had a few great ones too.
Cameron Howard
People from those cities support their local clubs instead of bandwagoning a club in a different country.
Ignoring Sacchi's wisdom is why Italian Football has turned into a complete joke over the years.
He tried really hard to make Italians not play like defensive pussies but unfortunately Italy is stubborn and stuck in their ways. Now Spain dominates, Italy NT is a joke, German NT will probably pass Italy etc.
Gavin Sanchez
The GOAT Dutch players he himself requested* Must have been very easy to convince Van Basten, Rijkaard and Gullit to go along with his plan right?
Butragueno tells tales about how Real Madrid sent spies to Italy to look at Milan's training schemes and when they saw Milan players playing without the ball(Sacchi's Shadow Play) they were confused and went back to Spain not understanding anything but some retarded Yea Forums loser like you surely knows better right?

Bentley Williams
What this guy said Also teams like Torino Sampdoria and Fiorentina should always be aiming for European qualification, even if only at the play off stage
Jordan Gomez
>Sacchi's wisdom Yeah the wisdom of a man that, prior to the 1996 Euro Championship, refused to call up the only man capable of flair and vision at the time (Baggio), even though he had carried his boastful ass two years before, to then fail miserably because of his convoluted selections. Wisdom my arse.
Camden Miller
>Le luck out with a GOAT-tier squad, but pussy out because of '''''stress'''' before you truly and completely get exposed for the fraud that you really are
Yeah keep jerking off that crappy world cup that you won only thanks to Materazzi's dirty antics and Zidane losing his head and not because Italy deserved it. Every single Italian WC Team before that was superior to that dogshit 2006 one but they had to compete with much stronger teams.
Sacchi wasn't the only coach who had problems with Baggio. Lippi also had problems with him and sold him to Milan(the following year Juve won CL). Why the hell would he call him over Del Piero that year anyways?
Also he only lost/tied with the eventual finalists. If Italy hadn't been on a croup with Czech Republic and Germany they would have gone further. They were playing very good football too.
Aiden Hughes
>If Italy hadn't been on a croup with Czech Republic and Germany they would have gone further. I like this merry-go-round of making up excuses, lemme try: If Sacchi called up Baggio, maybe we could've sneaked through the group stage. If Sacchi didn't field Del Piero in fucking centre midfield, maybe he would've played better. If Sacchi didn't change 5 players out of the blue for the game against the Czechs, maybe he could've won the game. If Sacchi still had his hair, he wouldn't be a bald fraud.
Alexander Phillips
fuck I should have gone to visit my cousin in cannes so I could meet Miriam
Jack Barnes
Yes, because you would have been able to convince a team of MVB, Gullit, Raik, Maldini, Baresi, Billy etc. to go along with your plans right?
God, what an insufferable faggot you are. It doesn't matter if you have the greatest team of all time if you can't convince them to play for you. Sacchi did that despite being a literal who at the time.
Sacchi was a nut, a perfectionist nut. He was such a control freak that he didn't even let the team laugh or talk during dinner. That's why he eventually had mental stress. That's why Pep also lost his hair in 4 years at Barca though Pep has learned to relax a bit in recent years.
Gotta love how you leave out his success as Technical Director at Parma in the early 2000s too where they won Coppa and were consistently one of the top teams in Serie A. After he left in 2004, the next season Parma ended up in 17th place close to the relegation zone.
It's not an excuse when that's what happened. Germany and Czech Republic ended up in the final.

>He tried really hard to make Italians not play like defensive pussies but unfortunately Italy is stubborn and stuck in their ways. Leicester, Chelsea, Atletico have all been champions playing like defensive pussies. Real Madrid won 3 straight CLs by playing "cross and pray" on the attack and murderball on defense.
>keep jerking off that crappy world cup that you won only thanks to Materazzi's dirty antics and Zidane losing his head and not because Italy deserved it. lmao. Zidane being sent off had 0 effect on the outcome. Trezeguet would've still missed his penalty kick.
>After he left more like jumped ship, just before the whole Parmalat empire collapsed because they couldn't afford to steal any more money from their private account holders to pump it into the team
>Yeah keep jerking off that crappy world cup that you won only thanks to Materazzi's dirty antics and Zidane losing his head and not because Italy deserved it. sure i will enjoy jerking off to albanias achievements
Adrian Nguyen
>A bald fraud hired by literal fraudsters Well, it checks out.

Parma money collapsed way before that in the late 90s when they sold Veron and then Crespo, Buffon and others. Sacchi came way after that in 2001. The best player they had during that time was Cannavaro.

Final raking:
1. Juventus 2. Napoli 3. Inter 4. Atalanta

Whatever lie you have to tell yourself to make yourself feel better.
Final ranking next season: 1.Inter 2.Napoli 3.Atalanta 4.Milan 5.Lazio 6.Juventus
Prove me wrong.

God no. You could argue Materazzi > Sacchi but not Lippi. Materazzi won that World Cup. Scored the equalizer, managed to get Zidane sent off.
Lippi barely defeated Australia.
Owen White
How would JJ ever finish 6th right now? I don't see it happening.

Mazzarri was right. Sky jinxed Torino's chance to reach CL when they put the anthem during his interview
Luis Powell
Mazzarri is always right
Jace Ross
Fucking SkyRube as usual

>juventus finishing outside top 2 absolutely impossible nowadays Juventus is officially one of the 3 superteams of Europe together with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Anthony Cox
>one of the 3 superteams I agree, but it makes me wonder what happened to Bayern
What a disaster I would sooner put Abate over Calabria and Castilljo over Suso.
Why not try a 3 men defense with Caldara, Musa and Romagnoli too? Sick of Rodriguez.
Henry Allen
Di scoglio is going to fuck up, isn't he?
Thomas Lopez
>but it makes me wonder what happened to Bayern Boomer squad, switching managers every season, getting demolished by Barça and Real in the CL... they'll be back to full strength by next year
Jose Cox
Yeah, he's only going to score twice instead of three times
Certainly wouldn't concede a header to a player 20 centimeters shorter than him.
Chase Cruz
That's because Calabria is a fucking midget lmaoooo.
Logan Kelly
I'm actually happy the game is at 6; so i dont have to piss away my whole night watching a shitty Gattuso Milan without a gameplan lose against Juventus having 30% posession and 40% pass completion and blaming the result on a single incident (a fuckup, a freekick/penalty/card not given).
I really hope it doesn't end 0-1 because then you will hear those meme excuses. I'd rather Milan win or lose like 0-5.
These last few years I've always felt like I was timerobbed when watching Milan games: >They never improve, there's clearly no gameplan, the coach uses the same players/formation every single time expecting different results. Mid table teams play much better football.That wasn't interesting or entertaining at all, I could've just watched the livescore results and hightlights.
That's the effect of having like 4 shitty bargain bin newbie coaches in a row at Milan. It's almost killed my interest in football.
PM me when Milan has the ball or strings 2 passes along.

So Gattuso is playing in the usual Allegro trap >start out like shit >end the first half with low intensity >start taking back control >score between '55-'70 >other team is too tired to do anything >patrician 1-0 acquired

Agreed.

I just shut off the TV. First time I did this whole season.
Horrible, just horrible. RuBe continues doing what they do best, stealing. We need another Calciopoli. Disgusting, simply disgusting. What's the point of even watching anymore?
