Well done, I absolutely think like you, the performances are good now but we shouldn't expect who knows what, friendly matches are one thing, serious matches are another thing, the ones that the championship puts before you with opponents who want to win.  So we will see the real performance during the championship.

Well, a coach's decision is absolute and here Thiago Motta has full control to control all his players. If there is a player he doesn't like then it is only natural that the club should sell him, especially in this case Federico Chiesa only has one year left on his contract and rather than leaving for free in 2025 then it will not produce anything for Juventus.

Once again, maybe this is a tough decision where the player also wants to stay, especially not only for a year or two years Federico Chiesa has played for Juventus but has been here for four years and it is only natural that he already considers Juventus as his home. Fans certainly don't want him to leave but fans also have to know that there is something much bigger than the player, namely the club itself.

Pre-season for AC Milan has been great. They're dominating top-tier clubs while playing well. Pre-season is just warming. This lets teams experiment and build chemistry. Start of Serie A is the real test. Then we'll see if Milan can maintain this level of performance against stiff competition week after week. Shining against foreign heavyweights in friendlies is different than confronting home competitors.

Milan has new coach Paulo Fonseca. He has much to prove, and a new coach always requires adjustment. They also have to recover from last season's disappointment. Though Im excited about Milan, we must remain realistic. Pre-season success offers no guarantees. Time will tell if this team can compete at the highest level.

I really liked Federico Chiesa, he was a capable, brilliant and creative young player, the fact that he was sacrificed like this seems like a casual and disorderly action to me.
I honestly think I'm not the only one who disagrees with this choice.  An unfortunate choice in my opinion.

Yes, that's basically how it is. Especially teams that have new coaches. They need a lot of testing to get to know the squad they are training better. So the new coach at a club will definitely try his best to get the best even in pre-season. AC Milan is basically a giant team in Serie A. And yes, they are a strong team that always competes for the title even though they have failed in the last few seasons. But now they have a new coach and well things will be different. This team will be reassembled by the new coach. And yes, they are like a new team that has had to grow in self-confidence even since pre-season.

And it seems like the confidence of the AC Milan players looks quite good. As can be proven in the penalty shootout against Barcelona. AC Milan won in the penalty shootout.

A player who is quite mature and experienced like Chiesa must still be eyed by several other teams at this time as long as the cost to bring him in is still reasonable and moreover if it can make Juventus and Chiesa both improve, I think the option to move and find another team that is still willing to accept Chiesa happily is a very good option for both of them. Because Juventus is also building its own team to be better in Serie A and hopefully Juventus can get much better results than the previous season in Serie A this season.

His work in Roma was not so good, maybe he is not very comfortable working in Serie A, but despite this he is ready to try again with Milan. But you see with Roma it did not work out not only for him, Mourinho also achieved very mediocre results (I am talking specifically about Serie A). In friendly matches Milan achieves good results, but these matches do not matter at all, so these achievements remain conditional. Fonseca got the opportunity to strengthen the team, Giroud left the team, but they got Morata, which is perhaps even better.

Since the beginning of his arrival at Juventus, Motta has emphasized that he will overhaul every line of the Juventus squad and he has proven his words at this time, several of Juventus mainstay players last season actually had to experience bad luck after Motta arrived,  so I think what Motta is doing now is very cruel  , Chiesa is one of the players who is not included in Motta plans even though in the last season he was a consistent player and made a big contribution to Juventus, but It seems that Motta thinks if the squad left by Allegri has many shortcomings and that is why very few of last season players were retained by Motta.
Last season, Motta succeeded in bringing Bologna through to the Champions League without a luxurious squad, so he knows what he is doing now to make Juventus better next season, apart from that, I see that Juventus has given full authority to Motta in handling the current team and of course that makes Motta very free to do whatever he wants.

Yes. I was also surprised to see the result of this match because our expectations proved to be wrong .  AC Milan football team won the match against Barcelona Football team and we equal competition in this match ,no team was ahead in the end of match. But after that both teams strike penalties and then match was decided in favor of AC Milan team. AC Milan team score was 4 in comparison to 3 score of Barcelona  team. Barcelona team tried their best but they were unlucky in this match but they should focus on next matches But these are friendly matches and these matches are best option for the small teams to grow up and show great performance in next tournament.

Fonseca is a good manager. He could be called as a winner one as well considering his successes in Ukraine and Portugal. This isn't his first time in the Serie A at the same time. He managed Roma before.

However he didn't have a good time period there.    After doing even worse in his second season he left. I wouldn't like to see it happening again with Milan this time. Milan are a team with a bigger potential normally.

When it comes to the transfer window, I can't say Milan has been very active. Strahinja Pavlović, Morata and Álex Jiménez are the only signings. They have spent only 36 million euros so far while making sales worth nearly 30 million. I think they should go for more players to get stronger.

Every coach has a different view and he has the right to choose players according to his wishes that are suitable for the team that will be built, so there is no other way for Chiesa than to find another team to be able to make his career future better.
Despite the many fans who regret this, Motta knows better what he needs and I think now some rumors about Chiesa's new team have spread so let's just wait for the official announcement of Chiesa leaving Juventus and I think it is much better for the player and the team.

But isn't it true that in the past few season while playing for Juventus he has also shown that he has many matches and Federico Chiesa has also made quite good contribution, it would be shame if Thiago Motta didn't include him in the plan.
Indeed, if Thiago Motta doesn't include Federico Chiesa in the plan, it can be concluded that the best step is for him to join better team and can provide opportunities for him to develop with more matches in the future.
I don't believe that Federico Chiesa is on the sales list because he is valuable asset for Juventus and by developing his quality, Juventus can have great players in the future, but it cannot be denied that Thiago Motta did choose to replace quite lot of players at the beginning of his coaching period.
But for now, AS Roma is the first team that is quite serious about bringing in Federico Chiesa and it is reported that negotiations are taking place, besides that there is also AC Milan which is quite widely reported to have the same interest as AS Roma to get Federico Chiesa.

AC Milan did something very impressive with their new coach in this preseason, of course this will be a good reference for them to play in the league that is getting closer, and I hope Fonseca can continue to develop from what they did in this preseason, but I can't guarantee they will do something perfect next season because playing in preseason of course will not produce something great when the real competition is not preseason so for them AC Milan must commit to what they are doing now with a victory that can be maximized.

I really hope that with the return of a great AC Milan will make the next Serie A season more competitive, not only Inter continues to develop but also AC Milan will do the same, and I hope AC Milan also adds some new players to do great things next season like in their midfield I think it's less than satisfactory so I hope Fonseca is sensitive to this and makes a quick evaluation for AC Milan to compete to win the Serie A competition next season.

From Ac Milan's performance in preseason games, I’m very sure that Ac Milan is going to have a good season next season, in pre-season games no team has performed well like the way Ac Milan did, Ac Milan played against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona and non of them can beat Ac Milan, although pre-season is just a friendly match pre-season also show how the team is serious, Ac Milan has many good players that they need to give a chance to show their talent, A player like Samuel Chukuweze need to be having more time to play for Ac Milan because his performance in pre-season game shows that he needs to play more games.

The Serie A league is going to be interesting next season because I don’t think Inter Milan is going to be the favorite if the season starts, the reason why I said that is because of the way the teams in this league are playing in pre-season games, many of this teams are very serious and I believe they can challenge inter Milan, it’s just some days to go for the league to start and we will all know how to predict their results.

No player is bigger than the club. Chiesa was also not called by Motta to join the squad. I do support him leaving the club instead of staying at Juventus much longer. It will be better for Chiesa to get his crap together and leave Juventus as soon as possible.

Though you don't like it, it seems Motta is not seeing him fit for his strategy. Chiesa deserves a club that can respect him.

I can't believe how Chiesa is out of the project. And it's really sad to see him go.

Milan fans should not be too happy with the preseason results because Paulo Fonseca has to go through big challenges in every Serie A match and also matches in other competitions.
Always winning in preseason matches does not guarantee to perform better and also we can't say Milan has better players because Inter Milan for me is more qualified.
We can watch later when Milan's first match will be against Torino on the 18th and that's when we can see how Milan really performs.

One thing we must remember is that Milan does not always use the main players in preseason matches and we must always remember that Serie A has a very competitive competition.

Well I also initially thought like that because I think this pre-season match is not too important for Real Madrid or Manchester City so even though they exert a lot of energy this match will not count.
I also have to admit Milan's good performance lately even yesterday's match against Barcelona Milan won the match again with a penalty shootout, Milan shows itself increasingly aggressive.
But I don't understand why do trial matches need penalties to determine the winner when it doesn't really matter

Conte seems to really want to change Napoli for the better. Because as proven by several interviews with the media, he stated that he would bring Napoli back to glory in Serie A. However, by selling Alex Meret this time, I think this action is a little surprising. Because Alex Meret is Napoli's main goalkeeper as far as I know, so if Conte sells Alex, I think Conte will have a little difficulty finding a quality goalkeeper again. So at the moment I don't really understand what Conte will do, but even so we have to respect his decision, because Conte is the one who has the plan and strategy. So you can be sure that with Conte's decision to still want to sell Alex, Conte will definitely have a replacement player he can bring in. And of course the players that Conte will bring in will definitely have quite good quality too.

Apart from that, currently one of Conte's plans does not seem to be running smoothly, namely regarding the sale of Osimhen. Until now there is no certainty regarding this matter. Maybe Conte has given up on this plan, because in essence the plan has not produced any results at all. Apart from that, with this, it is very likely that Conte will not bring Lukaku to Napoli. The reason is that Napoli clearly does not have the funds to buy him. So in this case, it is very likely that Osimhen will continue to be a mainstay at Napoli this season. Because in my opinion this is a choice that Conte is definitely forced to choose.

What Paulo Fonseca has shown in the pre-season match is indeed quite impressive and it makes many fans believe that they will be much better next season.
However, I think the pre-season match cannot be fully used as a reference even though AC Milan must still be taken into account next season in the title race.

Paulo Fonseca still has a lot of work and there will be many difficulties that he will face when the competition starts, so indeed in Paulo Fonseca's first season as AC Milan coach it will be quite difficult for him to be able to give the title to the team but if the progress looks better then support will come for him which will make it easier for Paulo Fonseca to build the AC Milan team for the long term.

I am excited to see Fonseca coach AC Milan in Serie A this season. He is already shown he is good strategist by winning games against strong teams in pre season. AC Milan has stronger team now so they have good chance of winning. Fans are very happy after seeing some great games in pre season. But Fonseca still needs to make sure his players are fit and ready for season. He also needs to keep improving his tactics. AC Milan is signing some good players which will help them do well. Overall it is going to be a great season for AC Milan.
