Atalanta is in a good position but they are lagging behind in Serie A. They are in seventh position. In the points table of Serie A I want to see them at least in 5th position. The team has many talented players. .I think they can play better if they are mentally strong.

yeah
i said and said many times!! Atalanta is strong
the goal of this year is achieve join for next Champions League

the only one goal

Inter going forward, rumors about Spalletti new coach instead of Antonio Conte (i said, Conte is out)

There is also the renewal of Donnarumma's contract, which is expiring, and I don't think it's a simple thing

AFAIK, Donnarumma contract will almost certainly be renewed. Moreover, in the previous contract clause, if AC Milan made it to the Champions League, Milan had the right to extend his contract. I think with Milan's position at the moment, it's just waiting a little while for both of them to reach an agreement. As I remember, the first bid made by Milan with offer salary about 6 million euro/y, with a contract duration about 4 years.

Donnarumma's problem is his agent, Raiola, who is Italian knows him well, his only purpose is to sell players to earn the commission, even if Milan have the favorable clause, Raiola knows how to create problems. It was he last time who convinced him not to renew, with all the quarrels with the fans who called him a mercenary, throwing fake money behind the door.
I know Donnarumma well, even his family, he is a boy of his word and knows that he can do very well at Milan and that even if things don't go well, he still has many years of career

That's right, the goalkeeper is one of the central positions in a team. Having a goalkeeper who is qualified and mentally strong will really help the team to navigate the season with few goals conceded. Sometimes the goalkeeper can also be a motivator for all attacking and defensive players to play better.

Teammates' confidence will be damaged if a goalkeep makes some stupid mistakes in a match. They will have to worry of the backline and in front-line, they won't be able to show up their best performance.

However, without a strong defense I believe the goalkeeper could not hold back attack from opposing attacker so of course more goals are scored. So far Donnarumma has conceded 12 goals (if I'm not mistaken) in Serie A, I don't think that's a small number for the team leading the table. AC Milan must improve its defensive system if it is to end the season with a title.

It is true but I don't think we should take this point too seriously. AC Milan is on the period to rebuild their strength and the result so far is better than what most of us imagined at the first round of Serie A 2020 - 2021. Some key players of AC Milan: Kessie, Hakahoglu did not have good first seasons in the club. Now they adapted, grown up and contributed to the team. As I see on the activities of Milan, they are keeping the strategy to build up a team with young player. They will be stronger in a few seasons and their growth will be sustainable.

Donnarumma has good skills, good confidence and he is very young with a bright future and long career ahead. With the growth of Milan, and with their ambition to come back, they won't let him go. If Milan let him go, they would have done this a few seasons ago, not now.

I'm sure Donnarumma is having a good season this time compared to the previous season. This season Donnarumma has made an excellent contribution to a goalkeeper and he has been the last defensive symbol for AC Milan which has kept the team from losing so far in Serie A.

Honestly I don't think free agents have their sights set in AC Milan as one of their options on transferring into a team since they can't really offer anything else outside of money and most game change free agents out there will want a competitive team to sign in. There strategy right now on focusing on youth especially in there own youth academy is good since definitely they have develop a few hidden gems that has successfully transferred into the main team. Aside from that they have signed more youngsters in the past few seasons trying to gamble if they can catch a good find which they absolutely did with Leao and Hernandez.

Milan must absolutely take advantage of this favorable situation, to be at the top of the championship and try to catch some excellent players to finish the championship in a good position and reach the Champions League next year. focusing only on young players can be good for the future, but given how things are going in this league, he needs players with experience.

Yeah that is something they need to focus on right now but honestly I think Donnarumma being a Milan player for a long time where he even went to their youth system and they are now experiencing winning games is something that will convince Donnarumma to renew his contract. Now they need to focus more on what they will be lacking in preparation for the Champions League if they will make it as well as add in a few key pieces for the Europa League which is something they need to prepare as well, because if they fail to be competitive in the Europa League I don't even think that they will be prepared to be in the UCL.

I would like to sincerely congratulate Cristiano on such a significant award, because he deserved it with his super-professional attitude to the training process and the game itself, when everyone sees how Ronaldo is very unhappy if the coach changes him during the game. Let's hope that this award will inspire him to new feats in the Juventus squad, because it's time for the club to take the lead and catch up with Milan and Inter, who have slightly broken away from their pursuers.

Last uefa league match between Atlanta and liverpool was really unexpected. Atlanta is now in the 7th place of serie A while they defeated top team of Premier league. These matches makes me wonder which league eventually have better teams as there are not much exposure between inter league teams.

Pioli is the one who is making a difference this season while all the players perfectly integrated with the way the coach like playing. With Ibra back in a few days, Milan will really show some great football moving forward. I wonder if there will be the milanese derby for Scudetto between Inter and Milan, because I do not see other teams able to keep up their pace

Ibra is the best transfer for Milan in the past 2 decades. His contribution for Milan in his young ages could be recognized by many fans but his contributions in his return last 2 seasons even more impressive and bigger than his past ones many years ago.

He contributed goals, improved the mentality of the team, motivated young players to be more professional and played super well in real matches. The future of Milan in the next one decade will be marked by the contributions from Ibra. It is hard to find a player like Ibra who can motivates his team mates a lot.

Milan, Inter, Napoli and Verona are holding the same places comparing to the current table. Roma, Sassuolo and Juve advanced while Atalanta and Lazio dropped some ranks and Fiorentina disappeared. That reflected the actual performance of the teams. Lazio for example were doing great at the start of the previous season and competing in the title then after the pause, the team is becoming worse..

It is true that AC Milan's finances are not as big as Juventus or Inter Milan, so AC Milan has to find good players at low prices. The best solution is
to bring in players who have run out of contracts, so they can get free players. But also be careful when recruiting free players, not all free players
are eligible to sign.

Papu Gomez is very suitable to play for AC Milan but unfortunately the price is too expensive and also Papu Gomez is more interested in joining
Juventus. If in the end it fails to bring in new players, no problem. Because I see with the current player, Stefano Pioli is able to make AC Milan
become a strong team and difficult to beat. I am optimistic that AC Milan can win the Serie A trophies this season.

However, Gomez should think about one thing, he would not play all the games at Juventus, they already have a perfect squad full of champions. See as an example Chiesa, he only wanted to go to Juventus, but plays a few minutes.
At Milan, on the other hand, Gomez would always play the starter, true he probably wouldn't win the same trophies, but in my opinion winning a championship or a cup remains 90% of the time on the bench, it's like not winning it.

Juventus and Barcelona are battling the same deformation due to lack of motivation or should I say fatigue is having a serious effect on big teams across Europe since the last season UCL embarrassments? a single red card on Cuadrado saw a fatal loss in the defense against an away side Fiorentina which should have been a winning match to put pressure on the league leaders but they failed to capitalize on that. They need to re-energize against the second phase of the season or risk the league tittle for UCL which I don't even see them clinging unto.

Barcelona and Juventus are actually in almost the same position now. Both teams are good enough and both teams have a lot of talented players. But they have not been able to consistently perform well. Barcelona wins against a tough team, then loses or draws against an easy team. Same as Juventus. Losing 3-0 to a team like Fiorentina is never desirable for a first tier team like Juventus.

Reality is that Juventus are not battling any deformation or lack of motivation; As it has been seen on the pitch; Juventus are suffering from creativity and wing play; The loss against Florentina was proof to that, Ronaldo created 6 chances, and 3 big chances but Juventus missed 3 big chances while Ronaldo also forced good saves from Florentina keeper. If Pirlo can get a RW and AM; plus a commanding presence in its midfield; Juventus will be a joy to watch
