So far Napoli have been outstanding and quite consistent in their form and game under Conte, but I think we are too quick to judge them at the moment as they have a season that is still too long, at the moment we see a significant change happening in Napoli game and they are indeed much better at the moment than last season,   I think Conte was able to handle Napoli very quickly and it didn't even take long for him to adapt his game scheme and strategy on the Napoli squad, last season consistency was their main problem so if this season Napoli can maintain the form they are now, then they have a great chance to win the Scudetto title in my opinion.

After performing poorly last season, Napoli quickly made the decision to appoint Conte as their coach, and the results are currently quite satisfying, he can bring Napoli back to showing good play and can bring Napoli to the top of the standings in the temporary table. Their goal productivity is good and their defense line is also working well, so they deserve to be at the top of the standings at this time. Many people say that appointing Conte as coach is a good decision, and that can be answered by Conte at least at the beginning of this season. He managed to provide a touch of his experience that is beyond doubt. However, his work does not stop here, because the journey is still very long, so they should not be satisfied quickly.

I was also impressed, and in fact i said it in the past, just look at the history of my messages, that Antonio Conte would fix Napoli.
I didn't expect his cure to be so effective and so powerful.
Congratulations to Antonio Conte and good luck for Napoli who seem to be truly launched to win

Juventus made a quick decision and this was indeed the best for all parties. Pogba has more freedom to hold talks with other clubs who want him. And unexpectedly, it turns out that many clubs are targeting Pogba. Because reportedly Marseille is not the only one who wants Pogba. And regarding Marseille we know there is also Mason Greenwood. And we certainly know about the case faced by Mason Greenwood which resulted in the player being eliminated from Man United. And he was loaned to Gatafe until he was finally able to go to Marseille. So I think Marseille will definitely not have a problem with Pogba's doping case.

I get your point, because Pogba will not be fit to be in his best form after a very long break from football due to his suspension for doping. He might start catching up with his performance if he starts playing again, who knows. If he still has passion in playing football, he can still work on himself to improve his performance, so that he can draw more attention to himself since he is a world class player before he messed things up for himself. It will be fun to watch him play again.

There is no chance that the odds for Inter to win would be around 1.3 in an away game against Roma, no matter what shape Inter are in. For comparison, City are currently rated at 1.33 in an away game against Wolves, but there is a completely different balance of power there and City no longer have the right to make mistakes.
So you think it's an easy bet on Inter? Or, on the contrary, since they're in bad shape, it's worth betting on Roma? Where do you see the benefit?

AS Roma can give a surprise to Inter Milan even though Inter Milan will play on paper but it does not guarantee that they will play well at AS Roma's headquarters, the actual quality of Inter Milan and AS Roma both have advantages in various game strategies, so a draw is much better for both clubs, because AS Roma also does not want to experience defeat at their headquarters at least AS Roma is able to provide such intense resistance.

Juventus will not take back the Frenchman as they're looking forward to straightened up their competitive squad, they don't look in the way of Paul Pogba because there are good presence of other outstanding players. Paul Pogba will bounce back to his limelight, it's just a matter of time before things get done for the club. Paul Pogba has quite important abilities, enchancing and having the ability to equal top targets. Paul Pogba have possessed strength, and 100% physique, gained footings on the ball and his passes accuracy is heightened, having a player like Paul Pogba in the midfield, everything concerning long range to the frontline is sorted out.

I agree with you. There is no doubt that Pogba is one of the world class playmakers. That means he has extraordinary talent and skills. However, the doping ban has prevented him from playing for a long time. Pogba is also past his prime so I think it is difficult for him to get back to his best form. In fact, I think Pogba will never be able to get half of his ability when he was a world class playmaker. He still has the skills but he is old and his instincts on the pitch have decreased. If he played in a mediocre club I think he would be a regular line-up but for a club like Marseille I hope Pogba can compete with other players. I miss his performance and his magical passing on the pitch.

It's sad to see a talent like Pogba reduced in this way, the positive thing is that he can always make up for it by playing well and keeping straight
it's clear that this is very important for his career, he's already lost a lot of time, who knows if he's continued to train and stay fit in the meantime?
He doesn't seem like a professional guy like Cristiano Ronaldo to me..

Marseille will not have a problem when they recruit Paul Pogba because he has served the punishment given and now Paul Pogba is free to determine his career after Juventus terminated his contract. Marseille needs a player like Paul Pogba because he has the quality to maintain the rhythm of the game and he is also a defensive midfielder who allows Marseille to play much better with his arrival.

Juventus took a firm step and they wanted to maintain the team's condition to be better so they terminated the contract with Paul Pogba as an effort to prevent other players from making mistakes that could be fatal for his career or the club.

I can understand what you are thinking, now he is 31 years old, that means it is not a mature age for a player, although not that old, but in terms of age he is past his golden age. Not to mention as you said, he experienced a decline before the sanction he received and now he has not been on the field for a long time because of the sanction, it will also interfere with his performance. Because for a player playing minutes are very important, I mean he needs to get the atmosphere of the match and he did not get it during the sanction he received. It is very natural when we doubt that he will return to his best performance, there are various reasons for the doubts we feel. But from my experience I have no doubt that he is one of the experienced and skilled players.

the fact that you say it's just doping suggests that you're neglecting its seriousness and yet it doesn't strike me as something to be taken so lightly, the fact that he was killed at Jubentus in my opinion is right for the simple fact that there is it was a check and it was not passed with a negative result, therefore the accusation is serious and in fact many other teams are hesitating to take him

What do you think about this match? Isn't it very profitable?
On paper, Inter will easily beat Roma. But unfortunately, Roma currently looks more consistent since having a new coach. Ivan Juric is also very enthusiastic about maintaining the consistency of the squad to continue fighting for the best position in the standings.
So in this match Inter gets odds @1.89 because I actually doubt it after seeing Inter performance unlike last season. If Inter still has its best performance, the odds must only be around @1.3 or below.

Share your opinions.

In my opinion, Marseille does not need to take any risks regarding Pogba, because he has already served the sanctions that have been imposed. This is just doping and nothing more, there are still many cases of other players who have been sanctioned for harassment and gambling. So if you think about it, doping is still lighter because it only harms yourself compared to the 2 cases above. Well now Pogba is free, his performance condition is not yet certain, just wait for when he plays on the field. It doesn't matter if he plays with Marseille because for now Pogba is lucky to have a club that wants to accept his arrival. Juventus decision is right, they work well follow the rules and are more focused on welcoming a new future with the next generation.

Yes, apart from training hard, Pogba must also not repeat the same mistake, namely using doping. The reason is, this almost ended Pogba's career in the world of football. So, if for example Pogba wants to take any health supplement, of course he has to consult a doctor or someone who knows what the supplement contains. The reason is that according to the news circulating, when it was discovered that Pogba had consumed doping, Pogba admitted that he himself did not know that the supplements he consumed contained ingredients that were prohibited in the world of football. So because of this incident, Pogba must be more careful from now on if he wants to consume health supplements. Because actually, if we look at things that are safer and better. Even without health supplements, a footballer can still have a fit body. The key is just to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly and be disciplined. Because the real evidence that other footballers can use as guidance is Ronaldo. He can really maintain his lifestyle and exercise well. Because it is proven that even though he is old, he still has a fit body and great ability to play football. That's why Pogba can also imitate Ronaldo's habits if he wants to have a fit body and good abilities. And I also agree, if for example Pogba's contract is not extended at Juventus, then playing at Manchester United is indeed the right thing. Because basically Pogba still deserves to play in the big teams like Manchester United.

However, it's too early to predict what will happen at the end of the season but, I don't think Ac Milan will finish at the top of the league because they do not appear like a team that is prepared for any competition this season and they lost an important point that they needed to improve their standing in the league. When you consider their current performance will not get them anywhere, I think Ac Milan will be lucky if they finish among the top four at the end of the season.


Napoli transformation this season shocked a lot of people since we did not expect them to be at the top of the league at this early stage after a poor performance the previous season, Napoli current position, I believe they have a chance to win the league title this season, but we don't know what will happen as the season goes on, other rivals such as Inter Milan and Juventus can still be viewed as the likely contenders to win the league. Furthermore, many people assume that Napoli is currently at the top of the league because of Lukaku effect on the team, despite that he has only scored two goals since joining the club.

However, the reduction in his sentence from 4 years to only 18 months seems to be proof that Pogba did not actually use doping on purpose. Because we know Pogba is experiencing many problems related to his fitness due to the many injuries he received previously. So he took a lot of medicine to recover. And the result was that he was detected using doping. However, the doping case really made Pogba lose his glory days. Because at that time he was actually in a very good period. But the doping problem meant he had to fall back and start again after his sentence expired.

Marseille may be ready to accept risks that they also know about. And hopefully everything goes smoothly for everyone.

Is he still a world class player right now you think? I'm afraid I don't agree with that at all.    He couldn't even play properly for a long time before this ban. He was getting injured very often so staying away from professional football. After that he got a doping ban. When he completes this ban it is going to be 18 months of a break from football...

In this situation it is very difficult to say he can still play like the old times. I just expect him to play for a couple of more years at an average team. Even if it is a top team I don't think he will be a regular in starting lineup.

Even if he plays his old football again after this stage, he will be able to play football for another 2-3 years at most. He was away from football because of the punishment he received in the ages when football should have been at its most productive. This was a situation that brought Pogban down, but of course he is the one at fault in this regard. He was banned from football because of the banned substance he used and he showed a great example of irresponsibility because he could not contribute to a team like Juventus. If Marseille transfers him now, they will be taking a great risk and making this transfer.
