Serie A 2019/2020 Thread
Gorgeous. Do you ever see our maps? They cover the area around and behind the Atalanta hot zone.
Seriously though Claude, it's narratives like this that mean something in football. No one gives a fuck about Juventus or Barcelona or Manchester City. Look at these guys instead: outplaying everyone despite not having any money and being forced to sell their best players all the time. Mancini went to Roma last year. Kulusevski will be gone to Juve after this one without ever playing a game for them. Their ground only holds 21 000 seats, and even if the corona pandemic had been over tomorrow they wouldn't have been able to fill it because they're busy renovating the north side on account of the stadium literally starting to fall apart a year or two back. They come from a city that has just suffered the worst covid-19 outbreak in the world. And they've just been drawn in Champions League against the worst cheats in European football; a club backed with oil money that has forced its way to the top by literally buying out the competition and has driven its own fans away by making sure only upper class Parisians can afford to go see their games.
If there's any cosmic justice they will burn PSG to the ground, and then they will salt the earth on Parc des Princes to make sure nothing can ever grow there again before they retreat back to Bergamo.
After a sturdy first half, Lazio coming apart. Two goals for Cristiano. Penalty and a speedy counter-attack where Dybala was really fast with the ball at feet. Italy and Spain should just form a joint league so that at least Juve, Barca and Real can have a corrupt olympics amongst themselves.
That was Ronaldo's 13th or 14th penalty for the season. Penaldo.
It must be so nice to play for a bent team like Juventus in your retirement years. You don't even have to work for half your goal tally.
I'd sell half the team to have him here

LOL. Man puts in work. Did you see his flat out sprint for his first goal. He must've been out at 30km/h. I want to see that from our guys. Should've scored a header on a great Dybala corner.
Dybala himself is such a handful. Those defenders had no answer to him yesterday. I keep thinking I'd love to have him here, but I can't see where he'd slot into an Arteta line-up.

As an Eintracht fan, do you think the Andre Silva / Rebic swap will be made permanent this summer ?
Also in general, are Eintract fans happy with Andre Silva ?
He seems to have turned a corner since the winter break and is linking very well with Bas Dost and Kamada from what little I saw.
Not sure if it'll be made permanent this summer already since it's a two year loan anyway and both clubs are skint due to corona. Difficult transfer to do too, since we have to wire 50% of Rebics fee to Fiorentina because we got him for a measly 2m couple years back
But it will definitely be made permanent are really happy with their players, obviously I'd love to have Rebic back but since that won't be possible Silva is definitely helping with the loss, since the break he's been the leagues top scorer.
An 87 year old Ibrahimovic bagging a brace against Sassuolo and winning the game for Milan. It's kinda amazing what a transformative effect he has had on that entire club, and that's before you even factor in his age.

Looks like Rangnick to Milan is off?
Might mean more chances for us to get Szoboszlai.
Guess that recent form got them convinced of Pioli...I smell Unai Emery 2.0.
He's nearly 39 zlatan.
In amazing shape.
Fucking morons. Pioli is a hack, only reason Milan are doing well is he had his hand forced and started playing Rebic as literally his last resort.
One of the worst run big clubs in the world. Hire Seedorf who got them closest to the CL spots since Allegri, sack him and get Pippo instead to introduce relegation form. Hire Gattuso who was actually building a team after Montella and Mihajlovic ruined everything and replace him with fucking Giampaolo. Replace him with the equally inept donkey Pioli, have Rangnick on the horizon and turn him down for three months of form. Infuriating

A lot of Milan mouthpieces and old guard also take the blame for this. They were skeptical and negative from day one since the rumors about Rangnick emerged.
The arguments were also some BS about how only Italians can successfully manage Milan and you need to familiar with how serie a works and all that.
Tear your ACL, come back within not even six months and then do this
Absurd
Just gorgeous. We need that.
I really hope that Italy have all of Zaniolo, Pellegrini, Barella and Tonali healthy next summer.
I would do disgusting things to have Zaniolo at our club.
He's been linked to Inter, Juve, Real, Pool this summer. Even the clown up the road are calling.
