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.    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.

Luciano Spalletti success in bringing Napoli to the Scudetto in the 2022-2023 season did not end sweetly in his coaching career, the unilateral dismissal by Napoli ultimately made them even worse, last season Napoli became the team that made the most  coach changes in one season but none of the coaches were able to improve Napoli performance, this season they have great hopes after Conte came in because of experience and his proven ability to win a championship trophy with the club he has coached before, Spalletti built a solid and competitive team without the presence of many star players other than Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, but it was precisely then that Napoli was able to compete at the top of Serie A with the right collectivity and strategy.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, even though De Gea is no longer young, his ability as a goalkeeper can still be said to be extraordinary. So Fiorentina is very lucky to have a world class goalkeeper like De Gea. Because with De Gea, Fiorentina's defense looks better. The proof is that De Gea was able to ward off a penalty kick in the match against Milan. Maybe if the goalkeeper at that time wasn't De Gea, I'm sure the penalty would have resulted in a goal. However, thanks to De Gea, Fiorentina was able to get the full 3 points in that match, because the match ended with a score of 2-1 in Fiorentina's favor. To be honest, I didn't expect Milan to lose that match, because in that match Milan really put a lot of pressure on the heart of Fiorentina's defense. However, fortunately De Gea and the Fiorentina defenders were able to block Milan's attacks well.

Apart from that, I also can't understand why a goalkeeper as great as De Gea was released by Manchester United. In fact, if Manchester United keeps De Gea, I'm sure Manchester United's defense will be better. Maybe the age factor was an obstacle for Manchester United so De Gea was just thrown away. However, fortunately, Fiorentina is aware of De Gea's abilities, so now De Gea has a clear target again after previously being unemployed without a club. And currently Fiorentina is ranked 11th in Serie A with 10 points. Fiorentina only has a difference of 3 points with the team in the top 5, namely Udinese. So if in the next match Fiorentina can bring home the full 3 points again, I am sure Fiorentina's ranking in Serie A will increase.

Personally I don't like the idea of keeping a player who wants to leave the club. What are you keeping him for, the moment a player starts are showing signs that he is uncomfortable in the club you have to sell him, because if you refuse, he won't give his best for the club and it will be from one problem to another. And things like this usually cause disunity the dressing room. This is one thing I like about Pep Guardiola, the moment he noticed that a player is not happy with the game time he is getting in his club and want to leave, he will sell you immediately, because he understands that once you are not happy you can't produce your best, and the entire team is going to suffer from that.

For a player to give his best, he needs to be in a place where he is happy. So if a player hands in a transfer request, the best thing the club should do is to accept it and wait for good offers to arrive. And the moment they see one that's close the player valuation, they should accept it and move on. It will benefit both parties the most that way. Anything less than this will create a tense relationship between the club and the player.

There are some coaches who helped Napoli having very impressive matches and seasons but at season endings, they all failed to help Napoli winning Scudetto. Spalletti is the only coach who finished a season with Scudetto for Napoli, after many decades. This Scudetto comes one year after a death of their legend Maradona and it's big gift for Napoli for him.

Spalletti built up this winning team without any Maradona as a core player of their squad, and this Scudetto is different than a previous one won with Maradonain their team. Maradona back in that season, was already one of brightest star players in Europe and the globe. Conte is another winning coach and he is repeating it with Napoli, and is ready to win Scudetto with them in this season.

Yes, in fact I think that for the Florentine he is an excellent signing and an excellent goalkeeper so he can really make the difference in terms of results, we are still talking about De Gea, I don't understand how Ten Hag was deprived of him, I really don't understand how he can make a player like that to be out of the project!

De Gea hard work has begun to show results, he spent a season without a club training to maintain his fitness. Fiorentina is very lucky to have a world-class goalkeeper, he became the hero of his team's victory after successfully saving two penalties from Milan players. After his heroic performance after defeating Milan, he has increasingly found a place in the hearts of Fiorentina fans. De Gea deserves praise after his brilliant performance with Fiorentina, he managed to show his class in his own way. Manchester United fans also started to turn on Ten Hag over De Gea's departure from Old Trafford.

Bremer's serious injury certainly has a big impact on the team and it must be immediately found a solution so that the team's balance is maintained. In my opinion, Sergio Ramos can be the best alternative to cover the gap in the back line and of course he also has high experience and can give a multi-effect to the team. I really agree with the rumor even though Ramos is getting older and slowing down, but for Serie-A it seems there will be no significant obstacles.

Therefore, I rarely bet on the 1x2 option because I avoid such surprises and prefer to bet on asian handicap. Regarding Milan surprising defeat against Fiorentina, it was actually very painful but we should also consider that Fiorentina has De Gea who is one of the most reliable goalkeepers who can make it difficult for Milan to score more. So I can understand Milan defeat because Fiorentina played at home and Milan mentality may have decreased slightly causing the penalty kick to fail.

According to the news that is blowing that Juventus is monitoring Sergio Ramos even though this player is no longer young, but Juventus wants to contract him for a year to fill the void in their back line, Juventus is still negotiating with the player's agent if that happens then it will be easy for Juventus to maintain its points from defeat which is in order to fill the void in their back line with the disaster that happened to Gleison Bremer.

We know that the injury suffered by Gleison Bremer is not an ordinary injury but rather requires him to be absent for a long time, so Juventus decided to recruit Sergio Ramos.

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.
In the future I believe Juventus can perform optimally and they will be able to become more consistent team and have stable performance, it only takes time for this improvement and they have everything to support an achievement.
In the next match against Lazio I sure Juventus will win and add 3 points to the standings, this is good opportunity for them to continue to catch up with Napoli and Inter Milan, talking about Napoli alone is quite surprised and amazed by their appearance at the beginning of the season which is very amazing.

Of course, any score can happen in a bet. When we place a bet, we all think that the result we expect will come true, but sometimes when we see surprise defeats, we clearly understand that nothing is certain. In the match between Fiorentina and Milan, the missed penalties and the games played were the things that destroyed the idea that Milan was the favorite before the match. I am sure that many people bet on a goal when there was a penalty, but De Gea managed to save the penalty by misleading them. The good thing about betting is that it is open to these surprises. Although it lost us money, some people can make huge profits with surprise scores.

It's always true to say "You only realise what you’ve lost when it’s gone" is very accurate to say about AS Roma and their bad management decisions in last two seasons. Sacking an experienced and winning coach like Jose Mourinho who helped their club winning a first title in Europe, the UEFA Conference League title, and also brought them to a final match in a bigger competition, UEFA Europa League. Then they hiring De Rossi as a temporary coach, got good but worse than what they got with Mourinho. Latest decision to sack De Rossi and hire Juric, is another bad management decision from Roma.

Maybe we have to wonder like "Did AS Roma owner feel regret on their decision to fire Jose Mourinho last season?" and the same question with a sack on De Rossi weeks ago.

It was the confidence booster he needed after being away from action since left Man UTD. Personally the moment I saw Theo Hernandez miss that penalty I knew it would be difficult for them being that Kean had already lost his and would be looking for a way to make amends. Will I say it's the first penalty that brought down the morale of the Milan players or were they just hungover from the loss to Bayer Leverkusen? Either way it sucks to be Milan right now  

In the Italian league things really happened even in the Spanish league (Girona game) similar thing happened too, goalkeepers showed how good they were. The former Manchester United goalkeeper was really good in their last game against Ac Milan where he stopped two penalties same with the opposition goalkeeper, this is something that hardly happens in the world of football and you'd agree with me that Man UTD still wish they have De Gea as their own but nothing last forever.
If you say the saves by both goalkeepers isn't normal then you haven't seen anything yet, who knows we might see more after the break. And Ac Milan would have gotten all 3pt but when De Gea stopped those two penalties that killed their energy to continue pushing to get another chance.
I don't really think Ac Milan are ready to battle for what's ahead this season, with how they lose games and draw some is like they might not go far this season, maybe finishing at a very disappointing position. With the good players they have I still believe they can come back to that winning ways after the break, they just have to forget their losses and start a new chapter.

In my opinion they still believe in Milan but they don't seem to like Fonseca, Fonseca's project doesn't seem to be in line with what they think, and in my opinion here the one who should come out is Fonseca some time in the match seen how Theo and Leo's expressions were when Fonseca gave instructions but they avoided it, and in my opinion this is what should be resolved, because AC Milan with Leo and Theo they were extraordinary players last season and their performance was quite good but this season looks very down and in my opinion the exit door doesn't make sense for them, because in my opinion Milan really needs them for now if they leave then Milan must find a replacement above them it will be difficult, under Fonseca's guidance now Milan is declining and in my opinion to improve the performance of the team and also individuals they must find a new coach as soon as possible.

When betting, the possibility of losing should also be taken into consideration. Because losing is a result like winning. A match has three scores and two more scores can occur besides the one you predicted. Juventus drew with a penalty goal they conceded in the last minutes at home. Of course, no one expected this because Juventus was the effective team throughout the match. However, being ahead by one goal was always risky. This is the case for every match, being ahead by one goal can cause the match to end in a draw at any time if the opposing team scores a goal.
