For the first time in two years, AC Milan got a win against their city rivals at the San Siro tonight and despite the fact that I predicted they were gonna lose the game or probably drop two points, I had no other option than to be happy for them for their impressive performance in tonight's game. Paulo Fonseca I think might end up not getting sacked again with the result his team got this night.

After Daniele De Rossi was sacked, many people on this forum were of the opinion that he deserved more time to improve the performance of team and since he didn't get it, the club is very likely to suffer worse results with the new coach Ivan Juric. I was blunt enough to tell us here that there's every possibility that AS Roma will likely improve in their performance with the new manager than we could've ever imagined and just like I predicted, the new manager have started his reign with a convincing win. I don't want to believe that it'll be short lived because from all indications, AS Roma is on course to go back to their best again

I just noticed that Serie A is bit different compared to other League because i have seen some of big teams such as AC Milan or Inter Milan still hard struggling to playing consistent but surprisingly some of mediocre teams can able to reach to top 5 even Torino can occupy first place with 11 points and do not forget too about Empoli that last season they almost be relegated to Serie B but this season they have good progress because until week 5 Empoli can reach to 5th place on League standing and still unbeated

And do not forget about Udinese too although today they had just lost from Roma but Udinese still at 3rd place above to Juventus and i know Torino and Empoli is only small teams in Serie A and i know too the teams which i mentioned above is impossible to joining for race title but at least in the beginning of season they can playing consistent

AC Milan success in defeating Inter Milan in this derby match was clearly a surprise, because before the match started, Simone Inzaghi squad was highly favored to secure full points. In terms of play, AC Milan managed to display a better performance, although Inter Milan seemed to dominate possession of the ball more. The result was a turning point in performance for Paulo Fonseca, who was under great pressure due to a series of negative results. Indeed, his career could end sooner, if he fails to maintain consistency in the future. The additional three points move AC Milan up to seventh in the standings, one place below their rivals, with both teams now on the same number of points. Although there are no guarantees, today victory could be a consideration for management if they want to fire Fonseca.

Maybe with Danielle De Rosse still as hear coach Roma could have lost the game to Udenese who have practically in good form having won 3 of their first 4 games this season with 1 draw. But today game against Roma under Ivan Juric as new head coach marks Udenese first defeat of the season. We will like to see more of this performance from Roma in the Serie A, I mean it was very deserve win and if Juric can return the players confidence in winning matches then Roma can have a good standing on the table before the end of this season.

Well surprisingly AC Milan won the game with Gabbia's late goal at the 89th minutes giving them an awesome 1:2 victory on the score sheet when we had thought the match was going to go all square. Today's game was one of Inter-Milan games I have seen for a long time.

Roma winning today does not happen because of Ivan Juric. This is just a welcome bonus to him. There are greater opponents and difficult matches ahead of him. His consistency in winning games and making good use of his players will determine if something has changed in Roma. I can't judge his performance on his first win. Well, today I am congratulating Roma for having their first win in the game.

Temporarily they are 9th in the league table. Hopefully, they will be able to win Venezia before facing Inter which I know currently will be impossible for them to win this season.

Unexpected win for AC Milan against Inter.
They managed to scored the winning goal in the last minute of the second half.

This is a very important win for them, also for Fonseca.
He was very close to be sacked after this evening, he maybe will be sacked anyway but this result is a hope for his career in Milan.

It is quite surprising to see that Milan was able to stand up and fight and subdue Inter from defeating them this season. Milan started the game by scoring first and I was thinking that Inter will be able to win the match after equalizing the goal.

The second half changed everything as Milan was as Gabbia was able to make the difference on ths 89th minutes of the match. Seems Fonseca has started doing his job properly because he has gotten two consecutive win, and today was a great achievement to win Inter the host.

A good start for Ivan Juric as the new Rom head coach, he have a good performance and helped the team with an important first win of the season. AS Roma we used to know are usually good teams that do give the likes of AC Milan, Inter, and Juventus, but this days, Roma is not as competitive as we used to know even though they have tried several years to bring in new big managers, but if is still not strong.

De Rossi came and started like this, but he couldn’t make it due to inconsistency, and now Juric; I hope Juri will make help the team to attain greater height this season because it seems like the team management are not happy with the club’s direction and they want the team to be famous as they used to be.

For now it looks like the sacking will still be a little dampened by Milan's victory against Inter in this derby so Fonseca can still breathe more with this result because after all, the victory he got indirectly secured his position a little and made the mentality of the players increase considering this is a fairly crucial match where not only points are glimpsed but also prestige and Fonseca managed to overcome this with 3 points.

Actually, this may be true because Zlatan cannot be considered bigger but with the decision now there is a bit of friction because of the disagreement over the management of the club making the situation more difficult when Fonseca said that he no longer needed players but Zlatan was on the opposite side especially now that Zlatan is also considered one of the influential people in Milan.

This is actually too big an act for Zlatan because after all regarding players he should entrust things more to Fonseca and when Fonseca doesn't need players then it means he is enough with the existing squad but Zlatan actually wants to add new players which makes his condition seem stressed that Fonseca is the one who is set too big in this matter.
Let's hope that the friction ends soon because we must realize that this can also lead to new conflicts that ultimately result in even worse performance.

The result of this match was indeed much different from what I expected. To be honest, it is quite sad to see AC Milan starting from bad results. and yeah, I also want to see AC Milan start to rise and get full points consistently. but for this match, to be honest, I still hope that Inter Milan can win the match. Because yes, I favor Inter Milan for a quite reasonable reason, namely because Inter Milan started well this season and Inter Milan was even able to hold Man City to a draw in the UCL. But it seems that in football surprises are something that can happen. So I also understand this. But I still felt annoyed because I had to lose my bet. But I congratulate all the teams who finally managed to return to better performance. AS Roma also managed to win for the first time this season in Serie A. And now AC Milan is also starting to look better in Serie A.

But looking at the current Serie A standings is actually much more surprising. Because in the top position now is Torino, followed by Napoli and Udinese. And currently Empoli's position is even above Inter Milan. But towards the middle of the season all this will definitely change again.

AS Roma performance was actually a nice one today, which we can say is because of their new coach, but judging from what happened to De Rossi after the management sacked Mourinho, most of us taught that De Rossi will change the narration of AS Roma, but moving forward in the season we start seeing different performances that we didn’t expect, so now as you ask the questions, when will the honey moon of Juric and AS Roma last? It was a funny one because no one can tell if he will try his best to change the narration or if it will be just as it happens to De Rossi.
All I can say is that we will look and see what will happen in the future of AS Roma together with their new coach Juric. 

A very important victory for Milan, I admit honestly I didn't think that Milan would be capable of this today, but they did it, and now they are only one point behind Juventus and two points behind Napoli, and after this match they are level on points with Inter, I assume they will be their main rivals. Maybe Inter spent a lot of energy in the match with City, but I think Milan had it no easier in the match with Liverpool, and so Milan is returning to the game, it's nice to see it.

Well, pleasant surprise at the end of the week, but I was so sure AC was going to lose it, I was rooting for them to finally getting on track but had little hope, no way I would consider their form better than Inter even with this result.
Furthermore that 89 minute goal seems like sweet revenge, I just love when it happens to the team I don't like as I've lost countless bets in the last minutes, so a bit of karma, even if not getting anything in return, no way I was going to bet on such a messy game!

LE:
Now that I look at the standings it's even more rewarding, Inter started pretty decent while Milan was a walking disaster and now they are tied at 8 points and 2:2:1.

You are quite correct because looking at the outcome of the Match now, it's crystal clear that since it's a derby match the both team strength is almost equal, even though Inter milan still seems to be More stronger but ac milan on the other hand has also shown resilience and determination to win inter millan because checking at the shot on target of Ac milan it's higher than that of Inter milan and currently they had already scored another goals to make it 1-2.

Ivan Juric, who is used to managing teams that are not too big, will indeed be more comfortable when coaching a larger team. Because he will find it easier to make a team reach its maximum level because there are already quality players available in the squad being trained. Different from the previous clubs in Torino and Verona or even the previous club, Genoa. Now he is the coach of AS Roma replacing De Rossi. And actually De Rossi has quite good players in the transfer market. So now Ivan Juric's job is only to make good use of these players. De Rossi failed to take advantage of it. But I think Ivan Juric has succeeded in making good use of it.

Winning 3-0 against Udinese is a positive sign for this team. And I think the club has made the right decision by taking quick steps to replace De Rossi before the season goes on. Even though this has pros and cons, with these positive results, I think everyone will start to agree with the club's decision to replace De Rossi quickly. In this match, Roma got their first victory. Meanwhile, Udinese suffered its first defeat.

In the first half, we saw a 1-1 draw between Inter and Milan. AC Milan scored the first goal, but looking at the game in general, we can say that Inter played better. Although both teams have a chance to earn 3 points from this game, AC Milan does not seem to be able to keep the score like this.
We will probably see them score the second goal a few minutes after the second half

Unexpected advantage for Milan this evening against Inter in the Derby in Milano.
It has last not so long, Inter scored the tie after few minutes with Di Marco.
1-1 after the 1st half is still a good result for Fonseca.

Inter is a better team and they should be able with patient score the winning goal

Although sometimes being a derby team or not doesn't change the fact that the stronger team will not win, though there are some certain advantages for the home team but only if they are strong enough because any club who is not strong will always continue to lose even if they have a home advantage, so in this match between Inter Milan and AC Milan home advantage seem not to be working for inter Milan because AC Milan is really holding them very well on there home and even starting the first goal of the match during 10 minutes of the early time before Dimarco equalize for Inter Milan.

They have gone to the first half break with 1:1, though Inter Milan was the leading team in terms of ball possession which explains that there second half will be an advance face of the first half.

I was very sorry for the draw of this match that Juventus could not win the match.  Although you will have an idea of ​​their power and strength.  But the team that was against them was Napoli, which is also the strongest team.  He stopped Juventus' goal a lot and kept the match even.  But Juventus should have won this match somehow.  And this match has been very tough, yes, but they worked as hard as they could, but the players of Napoli also came to play, they also had to stop the goal to defend themselves, and the same thing has been done by the players of Juventus, that's why Napoli  The players were also unable to score and the match was a draw.  So obviously if Napoli have done well against Juventus even though they didn't win the match but they didn't allow Juventus to score a single goal then what will they call them strong?  No, Milan did well this time and will win the match.

You are Right, Inter Milan has more winning history in their last meeting but looking at how both teams started Inter Milan is still not in control of the game despite getting back at the game so far with a lovely equalizer from the Italian man F. Dimarco to make it 1:1 in less than 30 minutes of play.

Both teams aren't very good in defense but the attacking force of inter Milan looks better than that of AC Milan which is what I see them as the team with the upper hand to win but with the current performance of both teams I will maintain my stand in my previous comment of both teams ending the game in a draw.
