Preseason 2024

[junior55]

I want to think that because the season will be longer this year inzaghi has put additional fitness sessions in the training this summer.

Heavy legs is the only way I can justify our performance. Blaming it on correa, darmian, Salcedo is not enough

 

[Ethor]

Uh oh...De Vrij injured, hopefully not a hammy.

 

[kurt0411]

Biggest takeaway from this game, Correa aside but that was already known, is that we have serious problems at wing back for both sides and I can’t believe we’re not being linked with anybody for that position.

Augusto and Darmian are not wing backs. They’re better suited to wide center backs. Dumfries is hot and cold and isn’t trustworthy

 

[Dave54]

Ok, one more game against Chelsea and then season starts.

 

[ElDuccio]

usually we always do bad when we make a good pre season, so i`ll take it.

 

[vex]

Heavy legs tonight, think we are in the absolute high in terms of tiredness and exertions regarding preparations. A lot of injuries in recent times are the proof of that as well. Hopefully everything will click by the time genoa game comes along.

 

[crzdcolombian]

haha why are we still playing fking Correa !! call more U20 players dont we have satriano.... use him instead.the Quieto kid is never ever going to play but still getting minutes.

 

[IM21]

this team will be done by January. there's just too many games and too little players.

 

[Corrode]

The club think 22-man at the squad is enough, and this is what will be they get.

 

[armendsh]

We need Another Rwb, defense midfiels, central midfield and two attackers if we want to protect our Champion

 

[Suraj]

slightly concerning but need to see the team in a real match setting to see if it's really bad. RWB, CCB and a backup striker clear weak points and can definitely bite us if we're not able to bring anyone else in

 

[Ethor]

The only take aways from this match were: Bisseck is improving and Mkhitaryan was the best on the pitch in 2nd half, Correa is crap and that the passing and timing was off in the attacking third with 6 offsides. The latter maybe due mental and physical fatigue from training as mentioned above. One more pretest to go before the season starts.

Also, our jersey is so shit. Even the smurf cum jersey looked much better on the pitch than on the internet. Our home jersey now looks shit both on the pitch and on the internet.

Looks OK from a distance, but up close awful, don't get the scudetto and badge placements at all. Guess I'll wait a year, again.

THIS! This is what’s actually wrong with the mindset in Italy. And this is also why there will never break through any youth prospects with us. Not even a Camarda or Yamal level talent. Limone likes it better to use fucking Salcedo and Correa in pre-season games than some prospect from Primavera who had a promising season, past year. When Correa stays Limone will use him, when needed, while he offers absolutely nothing. Just like Klaassen last season. Send his ass to the second team. Just like Jube did with a couple of players and just like Milan did with Origi for example.

 

[DARi0]

lets not get embarrassed next game.

Against Arabs. Should be easy.

@Revv did you see that #10 Aouar pass?

 

[Gal]

We can’t have more than 25, so it’s not like we can have abundant more. If you want more it’s young and development prospect that rarely plays… it’s not exactly players you can overly rely on when those situations arise.. besides more almost always means you have a bunch of Correa’s that is as useful as a piece of wood.

Our main problem is the quality difference between our starters and the bench players it’s been that way for quite some time.

Also stop overdramatising these friendlies, we had a crap preseason leading up to the treble… So it’s utterly useless and not even worth worrying about

 

[Corrode]

yeah 22-man at the squad are ok i think.... but, once an additional heavy injury come, and boom, the season will be over faster.
The squad has one person, Buchanan at the infirmary for a long time, and i think it's bad to blow another heavy injury player at the infirmary.

We have serie a title to defend, and we will play another UEFA champions league matches, Coppa italia, super coppa and fifa club world cup at the helm.

i think 30-man at the squad around will be ideal for the team.

 

[CafeCordoba]

No, 30-man squad is way too big. Starting from the fact that we can include only 25 players to Serie A and CL squads. CL has stricter limitations than Serie A and that's why effectively we can register only 23 players to CL list (since we have only 2 club-trained players by UEFA standards).

Players born after 2002 are excluded so we can add young players but I don't think coaches like too big squads anyway.

edit. Want to add that coaches do not like too big squads because it's harder to motivate players who doesn't even get to play and even there are some strange divisions of some players in CL list, some players in Serie A list, it would be just way too awkward.

I remember Inter having some obscenely big squads back in the day so I assume Serie A didn't have as strict restrictions it has now when it comes to the amount of players because I don't remember we've had some particularly young players in the squads ever (during the past 25 years etc)

 

[.h.]

quality is better than quantity. 22 good players every day of the week rather than a 40 man squad

realistically, the squad should be

two players for every position
+1 keeper
+1 midfielder
+1 attacker/defender

and then youth to augment where needed ideally from U23
