It turns out that many people had to miss the important match against Inter and it seems that Juventus will not play with their full squad. Too many to go and also a tough weakness to overcome for juventus and I think this could be a tough game for La Vechia Signora. On the other hand, Inter seems to have a breath of fresh air ahead of this match against Juventus and it is possible that they can take advantage of the superiority of their existing players to overthrow Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. This is a rare opportunity because it is against a team that is competing for the top position and as much as possible Inter must win with a landslide score.

AC Milan management have to start looking for potential players in this international world cup qualifiers that is going on, so that once the summer come up to sign a new players they will know the type of players they want to bring in that will help their ministry to improve like Juventus and other teams. I don't see what this 15 years old player can do to handle the position that is affecting the team not to perform well in some matches now, and it has reduced AC Milan points and goals in this new season. I don't think, their players that is experiencing injuries will take a full season before they will return back to the team because their manager will like to do something that will make the players to recover quick so that they will be able to stand on a good position to battle with their opponent.

Salernitana will compete against Lazio in the opening match of week 13 in Serie A, will Salernitana be able to win that match? I haven't seen a win for this club since the start of the season. Salernitana has only achieved 5 draws and 7 defeats so far, I think Salernitana will lose again in this match because Lazio is in better condition than Salernitana, but at least Salernitana can improve their position in bottom of the standings by being able to win the match later by making good use of home opportunities, I want to see this club win a match for the first time because so far this club has not won a single win and I am very worried about its current situation which is slumped at the bottom of the standings.

It's not over, let's not talk nonsense, but it becomes a very complicated and difficult game.
Then in football nothing can be said, sometimes the weakest teams win for many reasons, luck or because they convince themselves they can do it (win I mean).
I think, I think it will be a very nervous match...

AC Milan started the season very well, they were at the top of the table for a long time. And we got good performances from Milan players in almost every match. But gradually their performance started to deteriorate. And right now this team's performance is very erratic and weak. They have not won in the last four matches. I'd say their title dreams are over here. And with several players in the team injured, they need more time to stabilize their performance. Now Milan should aim to stay in the top four of the table. If Milan loses points in a few more matches, the team will also lose the third place in the points table. The team will have to play very carefully against Fiorentina in the next match. Milan has the possibility of going out of the 5th point table if they lose this match.

What's wrong with Jovic? Doesn't he deserve to be a starter instead of Camarda?
I don't mind this decision at all, it's just that AC Milan still has players in the same position who also need to be given the opportunity. I understand for the future, all clubs requires players from the academy. However, this must also be proven by the young players who were trusted by Pioli in the match vs Fiorentina, that he is worthy of being the coach's choice?

because currently Milan needs players with a better mentality, competition for the Scudetto still needs to be the main target, even though the point difference is far at the moment.

AC Milan is a top team and having injured players will affect their performance, but it doesn't mean they will become an average club interms of performance and stats this season. Stefano Pioli will make fixing spots in areas they tend to be experiencing weaknesses and also ensure he's able to lifts the team to be in the top four spot. AC Milan boss will utilized the young players for league games as form of using them to enchance his team which is totally understandable. The Rossoneri facing Fiorentina, is a game to bother about? Ofcourse it's a YES.

AC Milan had many injured players so far and that's why they don't have a good situation at all. Pioli needs some players and that's wired to see many players are injured in this team.
Maybe that's why they decided to use younger players from the Academy of AC Milan. Francesco Camarda is a 15-year-old player who joined the first team and for the game against Fiorentina, this player is going to be on the list.

Yeah there is no doubt that Mourinho has ability and he has proven it in several top leagues and Lukaku is one of the best strikers he can be relied on in any situation, we can see it in the last few matches including with Belgium, but overall Roma does not have a complete squad there are still weaknesses in several lines one of them is the defense line because Roma conceded too many goals luckily there is Lukaku on the front line who is able to provide attacks and score goals.

It would be better if Roma brought in new players in the next transfer window unfortunately, currently Roma's finances are not yet stable they don't have enough budget to recruit new players except through the loan player option like Lukaku in the last transfer.

True, lukaku has ever worked with jose mourinho when he was still playing on manchester united and so, lukaku knew so well about the characteristic of jose mourinho and this si also the main reason he is going to the as roma at this moment. Apart from how he loves to play in the serie a but lukaku is also getting mourinho as one of his main reason to go to the asroma. This is why lukaku didn't even think for twice to join in the club. Roma would not be winning conference league and goes to the final of europa league last season if it was not mourinho.
Mourinho has become the main reason why the club is also willing to extend his contract at this moment but saudi is also trying to pursue him at this moment too.

The special one is always giving huge impact even though sometimes his strategy made viewers angry. 

The performance of Lukaka when he is on international duty for his country can not be compared to his performance at the club side because looking at the players in the Belgium national team where Lukaka came from, he always have a good number of players who's assisting him to get the job done and the level of competition in the national team football can not be compared to that of the clubs because the club football is more difficult and the players you play with may not be used to each other since some of them may be new to the team and they will take some time to get used to the performance of each other and that will really have some negative effect on the performance of players especially the strikers.

He had to reunite with Jose Mourinho after the time they had together at Manchester United. It's a chance for him, at least he should be Impressing the fans and the special one ( Jose Mourinho )
Thomas Tuchel made life difficult for him as a Chelsea player, he barely had a good game time to showcase himself. At Inter Milan, he had a good time and the fans loved him. I don't really know what transpired between the fans and also the player. He was also rejected by his so called best friend he once also defended on the pitch. ( Larturo Martinez )

Romelu Lukaku had a great international break, he scored four goals to secure the top spot! Still on, against Udinese, he will still be amongst the list of players to score!

From today's training, we have updates on Juventus' preparations for the game against Inter on Sunday evening.
Weston McKennie will be available for the game and he is recovered.

Locatelli however will probably skip the game, as Danilo, Weah, Pogba, Fagioli, De Sciglio.

Judging by the total performance of Romelu Lukaku since the start of the season, I'm sure Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino would definitely not be happy with his decision to allow the Belgium striker leave the club on loan to Roma. After his loan deal at Inter Milan expired at the end of last season, Romelu Lukaku was a subject of mockery by some sports tabloids who suggested that no big European club wants to sign the him before Roma came calling for his services.

The decision to bring Romelu Lukaku to the San Siro has been one of the best summer deals of Roma as the Belgium striker has been sensational for both his club and country since the start of the season. The relationship between Lukaku and Roma boss Jose Mourinho is understood to be very close as he's helped Lukaku regain full confidence once again.

Lukaku has become very ferocious lately and this cannot be separated from his goal contributions for Rome and Belgium. On average, he can always score 1 goal and apart from that, this is good progress for him amidst the issue of declining performance last season. Currently Lukaku has become an important player for the teams he plays for everywhere and that means a lot to him. The competition in the top 4 is still quite difficult for Roma and maybe they have to add more players in the winter so they can be more consistent in maximizing results in every match.

But in all fairness as you said, this is really not Lukaku's fault and I think a striker can still be impressive when his team is fighting against relegation. There were cases in the past when a team had an amazing striker, but the team just couldn't live up to that performance.

But I am not saying that Lukaku is the man in the Serie A. He is doing a good job for Roma, could be better though! He is doing remarkable for Belgium and everything combined I think it's a decent performance. But Roma is too weak in general to compete for the top four.

Well, when I saw these statements from Mourinho:

It made me think about the following: what is Mourinho's goal in Roma?

Looking at Roma, despite having good players, they are a team that is not willing to spend a lot of money to have a squad capable of becoming Serie A champions, from what I see they choose to have players who come on loan and some good players came to rome because of mourinho. but mourinho and some good players don't work miracles, and a team that wants to win titles, to be a winner, needs to invest money in signing good players, so I see how difficult it must be for mourinho to be coach of a team with very limited funds and different de Porto (Portugal team) which was a small team when compared to the big teams that are in the European champions league

At that time when Mourinho won the European Champions League with Porto, he had a squad of good players, Porto invested in players, of course they weren't extremely expensive players even looking at prices from that time, but they were good players, practically every team it was full of good players, this can be seen here: https://www.transfermarkt.com.br/futebol-clube-do-porto/kader/verein/720/saison_id/2004/plus/1    Now, looking at Roma today, it seems to me that they have no chance of winning Serie A and little chance of finishing in 4th position, even if Morinho and some good players are trying hard for the team to go far, it will be difficult for that happen. My question is how long will Mourinho stay in Roma since he won't achieve anything big with Roma?

There are no favorites in the match between Juventus vs Inter Milan, but one of them will win. I hope their match can be quite tough and fierce because both teams will both use their respective abilities in the match for the sake of being at the top. So the spectacle will be quite interesting because whoever wins will immediately be at the top of the standings.

There are four players who are still injured at Juventus starting from the right back, right midfielder, defensive midfielder and central midfielder and two other players are still hampered by bans on other matters. But I don't think that this will immediately affect Juventus' performance at home against Inter Milan, because Inter Milan itself also has three injured players, such as their center back and right midfielder. So that both teams will both create strengths in their own ways in facing the match.

If it is only a minor injury, I think he will be ready for the upcoming match. Weston-Mkennie is an important part of Juventus lineup, he should try to play in the big match. Although he won't be in the starting lineup, but he may play in the second half of the match. I think he won't miss the derby, it is a crucial match. Juventus must plan to play all out at home. They will use everything they can, to get full points against Inter Milan.

Inter Milan will miss 2 strong defenders (Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard). It means Inter Milan can play with full teams, they seems not to play with their best lineup. But Juventus can't underestimate them, Inter Milan still has other good defenders. Inter Milan also has very sharp attackers, all of them seem to play in the upcoming match. We only see Cuadrado to miss the upcoming match.

Juventus have injury cases with four of the players and these are men that are of essence in the team, who knows what the outcome of their weekend clash would be knowing that they're down by 4 of their good men, Inter on the other hand has been up and running this season and they seem threatening, they're set to perform at their best making the game very tough for Juventus, will the player shortage make Juventus succumb to pressure and oppression.  

 The biggest game in the Serie A league this weekend. The result would be a big determinant of either team's progress, no doubt that Juventus is also a strong team and they still stand a better chance against Inter, for me the result would be best if the points are shared, at least none of the teams would be too affected but it'll be more beautiful to have a winner, we await which of the teams would bend to the other.
