Fiorentina are really lucky to have a goalkeeper like David De Gea who still has good reflexes to block the ball from any direction and that has been proven by their opponent's penalty kicks so it really is a perfect stroke of luck for Fiorentina this season. I am also quite sure that Manchester United fans really miss having a goalkeeper like David De Gea back in their squad that they love, but unfortunately at the moment it is always quite difficult to find an experienced goalkeeper like David De Gea in a team that is in dismal form.

We can't really blame Manchester united for not renewing the goal stopper's contract when it got expired in 2023 because David De Gea stayed in the club since 2011 till 2023 so he really spent so much time at united but what gave me some concern was why an experienced goal keeper like David De Gea stayed about a year out of contract before Fiorentina signed him, was it that other top European teams didn't see him capable enough to become their goal keeper? i keep wondering. Fiorentina just got the goal keeper at a very affordable gross salary of €3 million a year, am happy he got the contract because he will be visible for other clubs to sign him after his contract expires with Fiorentina except the club will want to renew his contract.

It was a disappointing result on the part of Roma. This was definitely not the result they had wanted because they played very well and dominated the game. Roma deserved to win the game but Monza were able to get a goal back quickly after falling behind to equalize few minutes after. Roma should have defended their one goal lead and priorities getting all three points from the game.
Roma actually played quite well in that match. It's just that they are not very good at taking advantage of the opportunities they have. And on the one hand, AS Roma were also careless and they conceded a goal which made the match end in a draw. But so far AS Roma can be said to be better after De Rossi was replaced by Juric. Because AS Roma won two straight wins after Juric took over as coach from De Rossi. And in the last match AS Roma was not lucky enough because they had to get a draw. And maybe in the next match a more difficult challenge awaits AS Roma. because in the next match AS Roma has to face Inter Milan. Inter Milan is a very solid team since last season. So I think it would be very natural if everyone started doubting Roma in that match. Because there will be more people who favor Inter Milan. In the European league, AS Roma have only collected 1 point from the two matches they have faced. And it is clear that this is a very difficult situation for AS Roma. Because in the next matches AS Roma can no longer lose points if they want to continue to advance to the next stage in the Europa League.

It is true that Juventus cannot be said to be stable because they still end many match with draw, but it should be noted that all the draws that have been obtained also give them points to maintain the difference with several team above them, this is much better than several defeats. [...]

A draw is better than a loss, but Juventus is still Juventus, they are a strong team in Serie A who should not get a draw against teams like Cagliari & Empoli. If they don't change what they should have, we won't see them in the top standings anymore, their next match will also be a decider because both teams have the same points in the standings.

Despite the fact that De Gea had a long break from football and did not play many matches for Fiorentina, he undoubtedly became a very important player for the team. Maybe someone will say that saving two penalties in one match is an accident, but I am inclined to think that this is high skill.

As for the fact that Manchester United did not extend his contract, this is the club's mistake, and by the way, Ronaldo's departure is also a sign that not everything is in order there. I think that Fiorentina is not a team with which De Gea will be able to achieve any great results, but here he will be able to prove himself well so that they will pay attention to him again.
It is not easy to save two penalties in one game if a goalkeeper does not have good reflexes and for this matter we must admit that De Gea does have good abilities. Not playing for a full season makes some people feel that De Gea no longer has the best ability when under the crossbar, but on the contrary he performed well when played. Being at Fiorentina does not guarantee that De Gea will be able to present several titles there, but for an individual career I think he has a chance.

Talking about the termination of the contract at Manchester United, it happened because he was not willing to have his salary reduced and the management also insisted on not extending the contract if he did not accept the offer. They are considering Onana as the main goalkeeper even though De Gea has given everything for Manchester United.

I think many people out there also lost a lot of bets because they were more in favor of Juventus winning this match, I myself also lost. That's the risk. Football always gives us surprises, and sometimes we get carried away by the team we support. It is true that teams from Serie A always disappoint us in terms of betting. so it's better to avoid betting on Serie A teams. Lol

But anyway this draw is quite good for Juventus especially as you said Cagliari is quite tough to face because they always put up resistance and Juventus is still adapting to Motta. That also has to be seen at least since Motta was trained, Juventus has improved a lot in dribbling the ball, Juventus looks strong, they just lack a clinical striker. That's what Motta has to fix in the next match, currently the Serie A team that has never lost is only Juventus.

yes dear, for example i lost my bet also because of this match
I honestly expected Juventus to win
However, i too, underestimated Cagliari who remain a really difficult team to face, very complex and in fact Juventus drew a draw with them,
so Thiago Motta know this

I think a lot of Manchester united fans misses David De Gea as their goal keeper because from when he left the club the weakness in the United defense has been greatly exposed, a weakness that was before now covered by the brilliant saves of David De Gea making the team to conceive less or no goals in their games but now with Onana the situation has been different. Fiorentina are more than happy having him in their goal post because it's rare to have such a goalkeeper that could save two consecutive penalty kicks in one game despite his age.

This is a transfer we never thought of seeing some day, after a long time outside, Balotelli is currently on the verge of joining a Serie A club which is another competitive league again but this comes with a lot of burden knowing fully that the club interested in him are currently performing poorly and enough will be on him as the last hope for the failing team. Genoa who are 18th on the league table, having 1 win for all 7 matches played and 4 losses, this shows that the team is looking for a player who can best save them from this mess, alone not considering his age, the club continues to be interested. I hope this comes to a conclusion and the results are met following the signing of this player.

I think this potential signing is not only a solution for Genoa but also a great opportunity for Balotelli to prove that he still has much to offer in top-flight football. After stints in Türkiye and other lesser-known destinations, Serie A could be the ideal stage for him to redeem himself. With his natural talent and newfound motivation, Balotelli could be back in Italy soon, with a Genoa shirt waiting for him.

Genoa target Balotelli to solve their attacking crisis after selling key strikers Mateo Retegui and Albert. They then lost another key attacker, Ruslan Malinovsky, to an injury that ruled him out for the entire season. I believe the negotiations between Balotelli and Genoa will go very smoothly and will almost complete the deal because of this free transfer.

Yeah I guess it was a shocker but then again, this is a man that has seen it all so going to a club side like Genoa only means that he's just wanting a place he can just play. Although with the calibre of player he is, many eyes will be on him to see what he can do for the club.Genoa at the moment are very desperate in maintaining their spot in the Italian top flight and at the moment are 18th on the log with no win to their name, so bringing in a player like Mario balotelli will give them this hope that he can do something but if I were them, I won't place all my expectations because he's just one person and for a team to succeed, they need to have a winning mentality if not it won't matter if they bring in Ronaldo, they will still experience setbacks.

The match between Roma and the Monza was really surprising match to me because i was not expecting that Monza can able to equalize back all my expectations is that they Roma can secure that 1 goal to end the match, but they refuse to maintain their consistent that’s why the it happened, because the Roma dominated the entire match and the possession right for the first half instead of the to hold their position well to make them win match but they didn’t.

This season Roma have also improved their performance small unlike their last season performances since I can see that they are able to win three matches out of the four matches, because last they make an very poorly performances but this their last match against Monza I was having hope that they can scored more than on goal, but Monza later lead the match to draw.
It was a disappointing result on the part of Roma. This was definitely not the result they had wanted because they played very well and dominated the game.

Over the weekend in the Italian Serie A, former Manchester United goalkeeper David De was the hero after saving a penalty in Fiorentina's win against Italian giants AC Milan.



I don't need nobody to tell em about the brilliance and greatness of David De Gea. Saw him all over these years for Manchester United and the United fans will forever remember him as one of the best goalkeepers they've ever had. I'm not even gonna lie when I say that I miss him, maybe they should have let him sign up for a season or two but football has evolved and he's not that goalkeeper good with his legs. I wished him all the best when he left Manchester United, and it's still good to see that he's thriving. Saving penalties these days are not easy. Glad he was able to help his side secure all three points. I don't regret he left Manchester United but, change is constant.

Those who always be bets for Juventus win since the beginning of this season currently feeling dissapointing to see the performance of this team because although Juventus status is still unbeated this season but in Serie A Juventus only able to gets 3 wins and assuming those people always be betting on Juventus since week 1 then automatically the people have already to lost their bets 4 times because Juventus gets 4 draws in Serie A so it's normal for some people why they don't want to bets for this team anymore

Because since Thiago Motta in charge Juventus performance is unpredictable and last week draw result from weak team Cagliari is really unexpected results because people were thought Juventus can easily to beat Cagliari but in fact Juventus only playing draw and this is really dissapointing besides that i am sure plenty of bettors have lost their money from this match because before the match begin they were very confident Juventus can overcome Cagliari
Juventus has been inconsistent since the beginning of the season with all the changes that have occurred in the Juventus team, it is indeed quite risky to bet on Juventus' victory in every match even though they are favored, I think not many people dare to bet on Juventus even though they are favored.

I am not surprised by what happened because Motta as the new Juventus coach certainly needs time to adapt to build the Juventus team to be better.
And indeed, there is a lot of criticism for Motta now and I think that is a natural thing.

I took a break and I'm not betting anymore. Because now I hate Juventus. The surest bet is lost. Involuntarily, thoughts about match-fixing begin to come. On the other hand, football is like this, and always has been, when the surest bet is lost. After such a loss, it's not even interesting to watch UEFA, or football in general.  Cheesy

It's not just you, we've all experienced it, the team we believe 100% will win is the one that makes us lose. Juventus performance has been unstable lately, they have drawn more in their last 5 Serie A matches. Don't miss the opportunity after that, because usually teams whose performance tends to be flat, they will have good performance. After the international break, they will meet Lazio who they play at home, it will be a tight game, but i'm sure Juventus will win.
In football betting, this has become a common thing that clubs that are believed to win are not necessarily going to win forever, sometimes there are unexpected surprises. But if we give up just because one of the clubs makes us look weak we need a strong mentality in every bet and be ready if unexpected things happen. Juventus has indeed looked unstable lately, but I'm sure they will soon rise and be consistent again. Currently, Juventus has not experienced a defeat. Hopefully, in the next match, Juventus can win again.

This goalkeeper wanted to stay at Manchester United but Manchester United did not want to keep him so Manchester United let him go and hired another young goalkeeper. The player didn't have a club at the time so there were rumors that the player might go to the Saudi League, but he said he would quit playing football if necessary, but he wouldn't go outside of Europe. 
It is because of his such commitment that he is now playing for Fiorentina and is able to perform well there. The performance of this goalkeeper does not suggest that another club has let him go. If this goalkeeper performs worse than Manchester United's current goalkeeper, Manchester United will regret why they let him go.
I think a lot of Manchester united fans misses David De Gea as their goal keeper because from when he left the club the weakness in the United defense has been greatly exposed, a weakness that was before now covered by the brilliant saves of David De Gea making the team to conceive less or no goals in their games but now with Onana the situation has been different. Fiorentina are more than happy having him in their goal post because it's rare to have such a goalkeeper that could save two consecutive penalty kicks in one game despite his age.
Of course Fiorentina is very lucky to have De Gea, we know that Fiorentina has had difficulty getting a good goalkeeper for years, as far as I remember the last time Fiorentina had a goalkeeper who was so decisive was during the goalkeeper Sebastien Frey era. And now Fiorentina has a goalkeeper as good as Dea Gea, of course this is a good leap because by having a good goalkeeper, I even predict that Dea Gea will be the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season if his performance continues to be consistent.

I actually think Man United fans are the opposite, they must miss a goalkeeper like De Gea especially after Man United is currently slumping. However, Dea Gea could have been kicked out of Man United at that time because Man United fans were too excessive in criticizing. At Man United when De Gea made a blunder he was criticized to the point that someone made a two-hour compilation video. But now at Fiorentina, De Gea's performance is actually good even though he has been unemployed for a long time.

So the problem is the fans because Man United fans are Toxic, unable to support their own players. How could De Gea possibly rise at that time, every time a player was performing badly, his mentality was immediately destroyed by his own supporters. All of Man United's players are top class in terms of talent, it's just his mentality that is lacking. That is because there is no support from the fans. When his performance is good, only a few praise him, but when his performance is bad, the player will be targeted by the fans. That is why De Gea is very worthy of being at Fiorentina who appreciates each of their players more.

Fiorentina are lucky enough to have the Spaniard in the club  making back to back brilliant saves. We are talking about a goalkeeper that have been in Manchester United for longterm, did his best to sealed most winnings for Manchester United and keeping clean sheets but today, the Red Devils have completely becomes some random average club, can't even get hold of 5 straight cleansheet not to talk unbeaten run. David De Gea have been positive and improving all round when it comes to his performance. He's not reluctant because after exiting Old Trafford, everyone thought his career have ended but look at him today, he's making brilliant saves and knows how to handled top oppositions when he faced them.
Despite the fact that De Gea had a long break from football and did not play many matches for Fiorentina, he undoubtedly became a very important player for the team. Maybe someone will say that saving two penalties in one match is an accident, but I am inclined to think that this is high skill.

De Gea is an experienced player, so with the experience he has it helps him to be able to maintain his performance even though he rested for quite a long time after he was dumped by Manchester United. When he was at Manchester United, he actually played well, but it was not visible because of the poor performance of Manchester United's back line. Even I myself was a little surprised when he was dumped and replaced by Onana who in fact did not play as expected in his first season. Fiorentina are quite lucky because they can get an experienced player like him. We can see how he became a savior under the Fiorentina crossbar.

Theo Herdandes got more turns of disqualification after the last game.
The player wanted to leave in the summer, when a player ask to leave you need to sell him, no point to keep him if he do not believe anymore in the project.

Anyway they are speculation ongoing on the fact that he will lose the captain status.

(same for Lea, he wanted to leave they kept him and now he is underperforming and probalby will be sold next year for a cheaper price)
I agree with that. Theo has been playing for Milan since the 19/20 season. His first three seasons were really impressive. But after that he continually started to drop down in performance.  Sad  He clearly doesn't want to be there anymore as anyone can understand from his efforts this season so far. It is probably because of Milan's not being competitive enough.

He is a wonderful LB and he deserves to play for a more competitive team while he is still young for bigger successes. I'm curious how he will end up.

There was some problem with Leao too yeah but I don't know how he feels like these days.
There is no point in keeping a player who no longer feels at home in the team. It would be better if AC Milan could release him at the right time. And I remember Osimhen wanting to leave Napoli and then his performance declined last season. And I think Theo also wants to leave Milan so his performance has also decreased.

But recently there have been discussions regarding the contract extension that Milan offered Theo. But Theo asked for a fairly large salary increase. Which makes it seem like the talks haven't reached any agreement. Because it seems that AC Milan does not agree with Theo's request for a salary increase.

Certainly if a player is under duress there is no way he would be able to put his best for the club and is obvious his performance will grow weaker by producing a very bad results for the club, though I don't no if such thing is even allowed in football because a club cannot hold a player against his will because each and every player is always presented a contract that contains everything including the number of years they would stay on the club, so after signing he his obligated to play for the club till he exhaust the duration of the contract, so if the contract is not yet finished he wouldn't say he is being held against his will because everything was stated on the contract.
From what we see Theo Hernandez actions seem as if they were deliberate and wanted to provoke a controversial response, maybe it's true that he's tired and wants the club to let him go immediately. Milan also now needs a new injection and they can use the money from Theo Hernandez sale to buy other players who are much fresher. Theo and the referee are incidents that actually don't need to be done especially after the match is over. Because the consequences when it's outside the policy of the League that takes action. A 2 match sanction is enough to make Theo think that as a Milan player his actions have harmed his teammates.

If that be the case he doesn't understand the level of harm his action can possibly done on his career because most clubs doesn't always just signed a player do to how good he is in the field they also consider the kind of person he is because no club would hire someone that would cause a problem within the team mate or do something that would affect the entire team because of his selfish reasons, so even if he is tired of playing for the club he should use other better ways than being aggressive to the referee outside the field because anything that happen in the field they always consider some certain factors and sometimes issuing only red card but when it comes to outside it means that player has other bad intentions and it will always turn out this way for the player, so actually any club that would even consider signing him will first of all ask themselves that what if later on he also get tired of there club when his contract is still very far?, so is actually discouragement to any club that would think about that.

If a club keeps a player against his will they wouldn't get the best performance. Theo Hernandez was linked to so many clubs but AC Milan wanted him to stay due to his outstanding performance. I don't know the rationale behind his aggressive verbal protest against referee referee Luca Pairetto even when the match was already over. I don't know what we want to achieve by his actions. Now, it has given him a two-match ban for his lack of control. Missing the games against Bologna and Udinese will be a big loss to the team.

He should be sold if the right offer comes because, from his performance and actions, it seems he is tired of staying in the club and wants to face a new challenge elsewhere.

AS Roma and their new coach, Ivan Juric, have apparently still not been able to find their best performance like in previous seasons. And actually the draw against Monza, which should have been quite surprising to me, wasn't so surprising anymore. Well, even though I hope AS Roma wins this match, because AS Roma was very inconsistent at the start of this season, I don't think we need to have high hopes for AS Roma. Even though De Rossi has been replaced by Ivan Juric. AS Roma, who are currently in 9th place, should be able to beat Monza who are in the relegation zone. But seeing AS Roma only managed to get 1 point from that match really made us annoyed. And it looks like in the next match in match 8 we don't need to expect much from Roma. because Roma's next opponent is Inter Milan who are clearly much more favored.
I feel as if the team is the problem and not the manager itself. Juric may have been a bad manager or maybe he is good, I wouldn't know. But, this is the same team (give or take) that failed with Mourinho aside from conference league title and Europe finalists (they were bad in league both years) and they started good with De Rossi but were bad later on, and now bad with Juric.

I feel like maybe the issue isn't with the manager choices, but could be related to team itself.

You can't fire all players and get new ones like you can with a manager, so teams just change the manager with hopes that something will change, and as far as I know Juric suppose to be interim, and this is why they may get someone better and maybe things will change then.

But at the moment, we need to remember how bad they were for a long time, it doesn't matter if they are not good right now, because that is what people come to expect from them anyways and these results are normal for them at this point.
