Italian Serie A - 2020-2021

[mazhar13]

What a chance that was at the end. Lucky Milan

Yeah, they've been able to get away with 3 points without 2 of their best players (Ibra & Kjaer). Having said that, they did fairly well on both ends of the pitch even though they didn't have as much of a goalscoring threat. When Hauge came on, they looked way better as he offered more of a direct threat than Brahim Diaz did. Milan also missed Bennacer tonight, but Sampdoria sitting back did play into Tonali's hands as he got the time and space needed to spray his passes. Having said that, Bennacer's greater vision and better dribbling makes him more of a midfield threat.

Last 30 seconds:

Not the best atmosphere in Atalanta's camp ahead of tonight's decisive CL match. Appearently Papu attemtped to hit Gasperini during a heated argument in the halftime of Midtyilland's game last week, with Ilicic also taking his side. Gasperini tried to resign after the episode, but the board has rejected the move.
Also a few other players seem to currently have kind of a chilly relationship with the coach.
Possibly we may be in for an abrupt end for Atalanta's fairytale, as even in the most optimistic scenario Gasp will be gone by the end of the season.

Hi everybody, this is my 1st post in this forum. I'm an italian guy and I am a FC Inter supporter.
I chose this nickname because I loved this classy argentinian midfielder who played both Inter and Man Utd.

I know I am only a guest here, but I've always considered Man Utd one of the biggest club in Europe, I still remember the quarter finals in 1999 (we had Ronaldo, Zanetti, Baggio but that MU was a legendary team) and I've strongly hoped we could face in the EL final last year (Damned Sevilla!)

I decided to register here because I want to keep my english well trained (please correct me if I make some kind of mistakes) and, obviously, to talk about football (I think I'm going to write only in this topic anyway).
Glad to answer to anyone who wants to chat about italian serie A...

Bye, JSVeron!

I thought Gasperini was just a charming old man who everyone loves, and who plays lovely, attacking, high pressing football. Honestly though, Papu and Ilicic are the stars next to Zapata, but trying to and condoning someone hitting the coach? If Bruno and Rashford (touch wood, and it’ll never happen as they’re good lads) did that, I’d be pressing for them to leave the club right that moment. What do the Atalanta fans think? Very intrigued.

Looks can be deceiving, he's always been an hot head.

Hi!!! I (almost try) to forget the time Conte spent in Juventus side (as a player before and manager later) and support him as long as he is our manager (many many fans want him to be sacked instead) By the way... I think he is a very good manager and he can make the player perform at their best. Last season Inter played very well some matches and, imho, we deserved to win at least one trophy, but we did not because we’ve missed too many chanches of scoring goals... we haven’t been cynics enough.

The chinese owner are working well the squad is strong, we have some talented players and if we find our best teamplay, we have chanches to win the league. We started this season slow but I feel optimistic (But I think we are going to be out of UCL tonight)

I’d say we are living similar years... we were both strong teams and we are now trying to get great again

 

[Irrational.]

Inter losing 1-0 to Cagliari away and they're playing with Darmian, Lukaku and Sanchez, with Young on the bench.

Shudders

Shudders

They wasted numerous chances.
Lukaku 2x
Perisic 1x
Bastoni 1x
Barrella 1x
Alexis 1x (more a great save by the keeper)

Should have been at least 2-3:0 before Cagliari scored

 

[giorno]

Fortunatamente per loro Barella è un crack

Barella is 70% of their team

He's a classy little player. Always stands out. Conte really should've filled that squad with more younger talent around him rather than over 30s, but can't say I'm complaining with what he's taken off of United

 

[GifLord]

The difference in quality between top 5 vs bottom 5 teams is staggering.
Could have easily been 6:0-7:0 for Inter

 

[FrenchToastMafia]

Crazy how well Ibrahimovic is doing despite his age, this season. Always really enjoyed watching him play. Should’ve won the CL at least once.

 

[JSVeron]

Tough win 4 us.

It happened what I wrote last wednesday once again... we miss too many chances.
Luckily this time we’ ve been good enough to overturn

 

[GifLord]

Will Pirlo last the season ?
1-1 vs Genoa atm

 

[Idxomer]

From the little I've seen, Juve have been a bit unlucky.

 

[Idxomer]

And it's a penalty, stupid from the Genoa defender.

 

[paulscholes18]

2-1 Ronaldo from the spot

From the little I've seen, Juve have been a bit unlucky.

Watched last 30 minutes and Genoa keeper made an amazing save from Ronaldo header. Then one of their defenders made a terrible challenge on Cuadrado to gift a penalty.

Think Juve ended up with about 12 shots on target so would've been travesty to not win that. Genoa will be lucky to finish 17th.

 

[giorno]

Meeelan hits the bar twice in 5 seconds

 

[paulscholes18]

AC Milan are quite unlucky to be going in 1-0 down, after hitting the woodwork 3 times

 

[FootballHQ]

Not watching but can see Yordan Osorio playing for a big club in near future. Amazed he didn't get much of a chance at Porto and Parma seem to have kept a few clean sheets since he started playing.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

A draw against Parma isn't good but to fight so hard for goals and then to score the 2-2 in injury-time to stay unbeaten was a good sign.

 

[Peyroteo]

We're not even half way through the season and Juve have had about 12-13 goals ruled out by margins like this

This time it wasn't Morata though

 

[Paolo Di Canio]

Watch Lukakus goal to make it 3

The ball boy behind the goal dives to the floor thinking the ball is bursting through the net

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Yeah, they've been able to get away with 3 points without 2 of their best players (Ibra & Kjaer).

Nice. No excuses then just like how we like to sing last season with no Pogba and no Rashford.

 

[Zehner]

So Bryan Cristante was banned by Serie A for a game due to blasphemy. Apparently he swore after scoring an own goal and since there were no stadium noises the audience could hear it. Sounds really weird and nowadays nobody should be banned for blasphemy, I think. Does anybody know/can translate what he said?

Those bans have been happening for 2 years now, I believe. I don't know what Cristante specifically said, but I'm guessing something along the lines of "God damn it." Mandragora was the first to be banned for this but he said something akin to an insult to Virgin Mary and God.

Probably "porco Dio!"

Pig God.

 

[unplayable]

That's just ridiculous.

 

[Zehner]

What the hell. And is there any outrage among fans around such bans or is it "commonly accepted"/deemed fair to ban players for such stuff?

I mean, I'd be up in arms if one of our players was banned for that.

 

[mazhar13]

In the battle of the Inzaghi brothers, we've had one great volley per side. It's still 1-1, and the second half has been an even affair so far with both sides not so keen to open themselves up.

1-0 Lazio:

1-1 Benevento:

Morata with one of the worst sequences I have ever seen from any footballer - professional or amateur

Yep

 

[Berbaclass]

De Ligt with two big interventions to stop Atalanta. Juventus sloppy

 

[JuveGER]

Again Alcohol test for Morata please!

What is going on with him?

 

[GifLord]

Ronaldo chance


Juve chance - Morata
