Atalanta have been doing brilliantly this season and I must commend them for a job well done. Scoring many goals in a match is very good as it will help to add to your goals when checking the goal difference when you’re tied in points with a club. Just like Atalanta and Lazio are same points but Atalanta will be ahead of them because of the number of goals he has scored which has supersedes the number of goals they’ve scored him. Atalanta next target is how to get ahead of Fiorentina to take over their place in the league standings, after that, they can now fight for the third position by replacing AC Milan again which i feel is unrealistic for now base on the point gaps.

Atalanta managing to win with lots of goals at home against a weak team like Frosinone is a very normal thing and Atalanta needs to make good use of it to get a better position. However, in terms of points competition, it seems that you have made a mistake in this case because the one point behind Atalanta currently in the top four of the standings is the Fiorentina team, not the AC Milan team which is still quite safe in third place in the current Serie A standings.

This season sassuolo haven't been at their best with their performance and form aswell, they have most of losses and draw than they have wins, they are amongst one of the weakest teams int he serie A this season, they at at the 14rh position with only 19 points so far this season so I wasn't expecting much from them actually.

Juventus made good use of the opportunity to maintain their stanc e in the race for the top position on the table and possible chances of been the league title winners this season, so for them it's an opportunity well used and they are now at the second position with fourty nine point keeping them two points away from inter Milan who's at the first position on the table with 51 points, they may loose their spot if they lose a single game and Juventus wins their next game, it's very possible inter Milan suffers such fate as the UCl will be their distraction soon.

yeah, indeed, sometimes how the match goes, whether it feels boring or whatever, doesn't really matter, what matters is the end result. However, there will definitely be an evaluation for the two clubs so that in the future they can be even stronger. Well, in this match, Atalanta was indeed able to optimize the chances they had as best as possible, there was no underestimating the opponent either. so Atalanta can score as many goals as they can. and 5 - 0 whatever it is, is a very good achievement. because the number of goals can influence the position of a club.

Currently, the difference between Atalanta and Fiorentina is only 1 point. Meanwhile, next week, Atalanta's chance of winning should be greater against Udinese. Meanwhile, Fiorentina has to try hard and the chance of winning is not that big because it is against the top of the standings, Inter Milan. So if according to predictions Atalanta wins and Fiorentina loses then Atalanta can move up to the top 4. It's just a matter of how they take advantage of this opportunity.

You are right and Atalanta really took advantage of this opportunity, 5 goals can add to Atalanta's total goals, in the standings, even though Atalanta has the same points as Lazio, Atalanta managed to take 5th position because they have more goals. Atalanta is also still competing with AC Milan to get a ticket to the Champions League next season because the two teams are only 1 point apart.

The match between Atalanta and Frosinone is not an interesting match to me, and Atalanta winning with such goals is not something to surprise because we all know that the team they played with is a very weak team and Atalanta are doing much better in the league. Furthermore, Atalanta is looking for a goal to go higher in the standings, so I was expecting them to perform well.

However, Atalanta played at home, so they still have the energy of being at home, which means even if the team is a little strong, the game will be a tough match for them because both of them will dominate the match. Irrespective of whether the home team or the away team.

Why Thiago Motta when Antonio Conte is vacant?

We've read multiple times about the purchase of Antonio Conte of Max Allegri finally decides to part ways with the old ladies at the end of the season.
I won't want them to take Thiago Motta even if he's doing a good job ( Not Hundred Percent though ) Antonio Conte is tested, Approved and trusted so I see no reason why Thiago Motta would be leading the list amongst those who goes incharge of Juventus finally for a new season.

Great night for the old ladies though, they trashed them opponents greatly. It's now Ac Milan chasing them closely, I hope they don't slack.

It looks like Roma performance after Jose Mourinho dismissal will be like Napoli, getting worse because management is too confident in the decisions they take. We know that changing coaches while the season is underway is very risky, because the new successor does not have the preparation time to build the squad according to his wishes. That is why, we see only a few Interim coaches who have succeeded in bringing an instant impact on improving performance, I am not sure De Rossi will succeed in doing that in Roma. It is true that he is a club legend, but Mourinho managerial reputation is still far above De Rossi. Not to underestimate his abilities, but I just want to convey the facts.

Serie A certainly feels the loss of a manager who is usually always a topic of conversation, the narrative created by Mourinho always attracts the attention of many media and fans. Personally, I quite like his leadership style, even though sometimes what he says smacks of arrogance, it is still within the realm of reason. It was reported that some Roma fans rejected the decision, and strongly criticized club president Dan Friedkin for his decision, but it did not have any impact other than leaving an emotional impression on manager Mourinho. For De Rossi, congratulations on carrying out the difficult task of bringing Roma closer to the top four in the standings, starting by facing Verona.

On the other hand, Jose Mourinho, who is currently unemployed, is reportedly wanted by an SPL club. I predict his goal will not be far from the club that is overseen by PIF. It's no secret that Mourinho once said that he would go to the SPL, now with his position unemployed the opportunity to go to the land of camels is quite big. Of course Mourinho will get a bigger salary than Roma has given before, that's a strong reason Mourinho wants to go to the SPL. We'll see how The Special One next adventure goes, although I hope he's better off just coaching a European club.

The possibility of Atlanta winning is greater than Udinese, but I actually doubt that Inter will win easily against Fiorentina, especially since Fiorentina will play at home, so far the statistics for the two teams are quite balanced and it will be difficult to predict the big match result, talking about Atalanta chances of being in the champions league, I think the atlanta will be a little hampered because the tight competition in the standings will color the competition between several teams who are also aiming for last tickets to the champions league, I think, Besides that the chase for points which is currently happening at ranks 4 to 8 of course makes the attractiveness of Serie A increase .

I don't know what your theory here is, but if you feel like explaining it to me, then please do it.

Fiorentina won 3 out of their last 5 games, tied 1 game and lost 1 game. Atalanta won 3 out of their last 5 games, tied 1 game and lost 1 game.

Are you saying it because you only look at the last 2 games or do you think Atalanta's performance after 20 games was better than that of Fiorentina? If that were true, why is Fiorentina ahead of Atalanta?

This is what I exactly would like to see from Juventus.    They have made a really good improvement in their number of goals scored in a game lately. They have started to play quite high-scoring matches. We saw this against Sassuolo yesterday as well. This is really good progress and it is important at the same time. Because Juventus really need this productivity rate as much as possible to maintain their competitive look for the league championship.

Otherwise it is really not easy for Juventus to keep up with Inter until the end of the season. Because Inter just tear apart their opponents one by one.

Atalanta have another chance to do well as Udinese will be a much weaker opponent for them. But Fiorentina cannot be expected to win the match against Inter. So I also agree with you that Atalanta will get another good chance and they can use this chance to move up the points table. If Atalanta then perform like the last match they might be able to win the match with a big score in the next match as well.

Atalanta's next match will be against Udinese and Fiorentina will be against Inter. If you look at statistics then it is true as you say that Atalanta will win the match and get 36 points and it is possible that Fiorentina will lose to Inter Milan and they will still have 34 points. Atalanta is almost guaranteed to be in fourth place after the 21st match. I don't know what results they will get at the end of the season but with their current performance I think they are more worthy of qualifying for the Champions League next season than Fiorentina.

If Max Allegri and Juventus part ways at the end of the season, Thiago Motta tops the list of potential replacements.  The Bologna coach is seen as ready to take on a managerial role at a top club, and his contract expires in June.

Inter Milan are the only threat that stands infront of the Bianconeri. Good scores and complete suppression of opponents are extremely essential in every match. The points gained are deserved by the club that demonstrates the best performance with no minor disparities in difficulty. Sassuolo proved difficult, but in the end, they failed to offer the fans what they hoped for, losing 3-0 to Juventus, who are in their prime. Juventus is moving higher this season, and there's every reason to expect they won't hold back this season, giving everything they've got to keep playing at a high level.

But in my consideration about Sassuolo, at least Sassuolo is not a weak team at all and also, Juventus trend so far this season is also at least not to have high aggressiveness in scoring lots of goals. Therefore, winning with a big score like this and also winning with a clean sheet, I think this result is quite surprising because in the last few matches Juventus has consistently won with a big score.

But it seems, regarding this transfer window where previously Vlahovic was reportedly open to negotiations then yes, I think if Vlahovic is really available for sale then of course it will be able to change Juventus trend in the moment too. But yes, I personally will still be waiting, regarding the players who will be sold and the players Juventus will recruit in the player transfer window at this moment.

I was surprised by the news of Jose Mourinho's dismissal, because previously there were no rumors that AS Roma gave a statement that Mourinho's position was not safe if he could not bring AS Roma to play better. I think AS Roma has considered this for a long time and they decided to end cooperation with Mourinho because it was considered a failure.
If I'm not mistaken, Jose Mourinho is always sacked in his third season, is this a curse? Lol. Just kidding.
More than 2 seasons with AS Roma and the game did not show progress, it was a decent opportunity so AS Roma decided to sack him in the middle of this season. But I wonder how they will perform after officially sacking Jose Mounrinho.

One thing to note is the fact that yes a coach is paid to play a role in every team he manages but sometimes there's always a situation where the coach performs his role rightly but still the team sulks in backwardness and unending defeats. It's pretty unfair that the coach should be held accountable for all the wrongs the general team is involved in.

 Every member of a ten is paid to deliver positively and so when the coach is at fault, he should be proscribed, and when the players are at fault, they also should be dissed. A coach only manages, developing the right strategies but the players are the ones on the pitch to implement the developed strategy. They all have the collective effort of performing well for the team. Either the player, or the coach or both parties can generally be the fault in every unfavorable game outcome.

Winning decisively at home is quite normal for Juventus even though this has become a record of being unbeaten at home 17 times this season for Juventus. Sassuolo was an opponent who was not strong enough so they were unable to score a single goal against Juventus in that match, so Juventus was able to win very easily and get back close to Inter Milan's points which are still firmly at the top of the Serie A standings this season.
