Why do you say about points in that friendly match? Isn't the official season still not started so the match that is happening now is just a pre-season match which generally every team does not really care about winning or losing because sometimes there are teams that deliberately field young players to see how their condition is at this time. So you don't need to be surprised and make up stories about their strength because it's just a friendly match before the official season starts so whatever the result is in the match, it should still be considered as something very ordinary.

Fiorentina football team could not win the last match and match was difficult for both teams. Both teams gave their hundred percent to win this match . That players of both teams were active due to which we saw huge resistance in this match .Fiorentina football team did 2 goals in this match and in the comparison of that Hull City also did two goals in this match and goals were equal and both teams got equal point aand and that is 1, point. Both teams need more improvement because win the necessary for the progress and we didn't see win in this match. Rather we tough competition and two players from Hull City team did 1, 1 goal and two players of the Fiorentina did one,one goal and score was level.

Fiorentina failed to win the match against Hull City which is one of the weak teams from England who are currently playing in the Championship League, some people certainly make Fiorentina as favorites but their game is not much better.
Hull City itself could actually be easily defeated if all the opportunities that Fiorentina have can be utilized properly, but unfortunately this match was quite boring and Fiorentina did not play as expected.
If in the future they are still the same, then the possibility for this pre-season is disappointment for the fans because in 4 matches they have only been able to win once, that was only in the first match.
I predict that Fiorentina can at least win the match by scoring 3 to 4 goals but that is just too high an expectation.

Being active in the transfer window is not something that makes sense to become champions, we know that the competition in Serie A is tougher than other leagues, so i think that this season the Coppa will not be won by these two teams. I personally consider AS Roma, not for the Serie A title, but for the Coppa.

Carrarese - Catania match, Carrarese is the favorite, but Catania is not a weak team in Serie B either, who do you think will go further?

Tomorrow the first match of Coppa Italia will start.

Carrarese vs Catania, two of them are Serie B teams, but in August 10-11 there are few match where Serie A teams will play.

In the last 4 years, both Juventus and Inter win this competition, I think this year has nothing different because both Inter and Juventus are the only teams that really active with the current window transfers.

Napoli under De Laurentis' leadership is indeed quite tough in the process of exiting players, some people even call him "Daniel Levy from Tottenham"

Napoli is also holding out on PSG activating Osimhen's contract clause which is over £100m believing PSG has deep pockets for it.
But I think PSG didn’t go ahead with the transfer because they couldn’t sell off Gonçalo Ramos or Kolomuani and it's also the same reason that Napoli didn't want to sign Lukaku until they sold Oshimen.
It's all negotiation tactics.

The failure to recruit Lukaku was Napoli own fault for overcomplicating the Osimhen transfer process. There is no clarity yet on where Osimhen will go after he was targeted by top teams because Napoli wants to get big funds from Osimhen sale this summer. The delay in the Osimhen transfer process also hampers Lukaku's plans to reunite with Antonio Conte at Napoli because before Osimhen moved to another club, Napoli had not been able to bring in Lukaku. On the other hand, Chelsea can't wait for an official offer from Napoli to recruit Lukaku, now Aston Villa has started to show interest in Lukaku, Chelsea immediately gave the green light for Aston Villa to recruit Lukaku.
 

I think being at Roma would suit this player. Because in Rome he can develop his talents without having to get a lot of pressure. But his move from Girona also automatically made this player miss the opportunity to play in the UCL. But with Roma he will still play in the Europa League. Well that would be a great start for the player. And I hope he can play as well as when he was at Girona. Dovbyk will definitely be warmly welcomed by everyone in Rome. Because after all Roma is actually very lucky to be able to get this player. I think this player will get lots of offers from other big clubs. But it seems that this is not happening. So Roma can get it without competing with many other clubs. Because the only ones who seriously made a bid were Roma and Atletico Madrid and in this case Roma won. And actually it was also circulated that this player wanted to stay at Girona but now as we can see he has come to Roma.

Pre-season matches are low quality match to me because not the real squad do play the match from in both teams. Milan was able to win Madrid can only happen in thses kind of matches and not in real life match because it will be impossible for Milan to win Madrid. In the second half Madrid allowed their teen players to take over the match and it became boring because Milan dominate ld the match.

If Milan like let them win all the powerful clubs in pre-season that does not mean that they have improved to the extent of winning those big clubs in real matches because that is what counts.

Another tweet from Fabrizio also showed that Dovbyk was already in Rome and he was welcomed by Roma fans who were ready to welcome Dovbyk.

This is not in accordance with my initial expectations, because seeing Dovbyk's performance last season there will definitely be several big clubs who intend to bring him but it looks like Dovbyk knows what he wants to do because indeed to make a good career it will be very difficult if only relying on the luck of 1 season and he still needs time to be at a big club so the decision to choose Roma although questionable but still good enough I think.
Hopefully his choice of choosing Roma as a stepping stone to his career is not wrong.

Roma is making a strong impression in the summer transfer window of 2024 after reaching an agreement with Juventus to sign Matias Soule, as well as signing Enzo Le Fee from Rennes. Currently, Roma is completing a deal with Girona for Artem Dovbyk, Artem Dovbyk would be a reasonable choice. Lukaku will not continue playing with the team on loan because Napoli is negotiating with Chelsea to buy the Belgian player to reunite with coach Antonio Conte. Artem Dovbyk is a name that many big clubs are eyeing this summer. There were times when it seemed that Atletico Madrid had secured the Ukrainian striker's signature. It's hard for me to explain why Artem Dovbyk didn't choose to go to Atletico Madrid because Atletico Madrid is a better team than Roma. However, AS Roma was the winning team.

If Rabiot leaves Juventus, it will be a big loss for Juventus. Also, you are right that Pogba cannot be relied upon right now. Pogba is a very talented player. However, due to injuries in the last season, he played only 2 matches in the jersey of Juventus. So we don't know yet if Pogba can perform well this season. So Pogba cannot be relied upon. But if Pogba and Luiz play well, Juventus' midfield will be strong.

Last season we saw Juventus' main weakness was the erratic performance of their attacking players. The team scored only 54 goals in 38 matches. So if Juventus want to fight for the title next season then Juventus will definitely need to strengthen their attack. More talented and experienced players need to be added to the attack.

In my opinion Lukaku is more suitable as Roma striker rather than Artem Dovbyk this because Lukaku is more experience to playing at Serie A and he was adapt quickly with the atmosphere of this league but unfortunately Roma has decide not permanent Lukaku status but i understand why Roma did that because Chelsea want high price for Lukaku and Roma feel price tag for Lukaku which determined by Chelsea is too high considering Lukaku age currently above to 30 years old

Artem Dovbyk probably would be the last recruitment Roma for forward lines because if i am not mistaken previously Roma also has successfully to bought Matias Soule from Juventus and for forward lines currently Roma has 4 good quality players because besides Artem Dovbyk and Matias Soule Roma has Dybala and Stephan El Shaarawy so if we look at to Roma forward lines the composition looks very promising and let see it later whether these players can able to scores a lot of goals and help Roma to achieve their target or not

Roma gets Artem Dovbyk for 30 million plus 5 million ads on and indeed this is decent price considering his status as Laliga top scorer of last season and previously Artem Dovbyk was into radar some of big clubs such as Arsenal but finally he choose Roma as his next club but i was wondering whether he can adapt quickly with Roma and Serie A nor not because Serie A is different compared to Laliga besides that Artem Dovbyk performance while defend Ukraine on Euro Cup is dissapointing because from 3 matches he was unable to scores

Rabiot officially leaves Juventus due to salary disagreement and now Juventus already has Douglas Luiz who was brought in from Aston Villa for a fee of 51 million even Juventus brought in 2 players at once in the Central Midfield position so Rabiot's departure doesn't have much impact because they already have a replacement. So far Juventus have spent almost 90 million in this transfer window but none of them are strikers, even though as you said Juventus need a new striker or maybe they are looking for another player in the attack line? On the other hand I also saw Juventus releasing 8 of its young players and raised 91 million, I really don't understand what Juventus plan.

Lukaku was very close to playing for Napoli recently since Conte wanted to have this player. Maybe because Osimhen was about to leave they wanted to hire Lukaku and use this player in the next season but the plan was not working and Lukaku is not going to Napoli. Since Lukaku is under contract with Chelsea, they can let this player go and play for the other teams for loan and they decided to give Lukaku to Aston Villa for loan for the next season.
There is a high chance that Chelsea will sell Lukaku permanently to Aston Villa and earn some more money.
