Luis Alberto leaving Lazio

Average season for him (according to the fans)... he's got 4 goals, 6 assists, 8 big chances created

RLC showed his best... his stats are 6 goals, 1 assist, 1 big chance created

I read Juve will get him.
He requested to leave but has a contract untill 2027 so i doubt we will meet Lazio's price tag.

The question has always been who replaces Pioli. People can drag him through the mud all they want, but there aren't that many coaches who are or will be available in two months who might do a better job than Pioli has.
How do you know this?????

How do you progress if you are afraid to change?
How do you advance if you believe being not good enough is ok and probably the best we can do?

Pioli won two seasons ago - since then we have been miles off the pace in the league and going backwards in Europe and your solution is to continue with him.
He's definitely no prime Kessie in that regard. Let alone a classic DM. What RLCs main strengths are IMO is winning duels in midfield and to then progress the ball into the opponents box as well as making late runs into the box and score. In any case he should start deeper in a 3-man-midfield.
RLC is terrible defensively. What he is good at is being the secondary defender where he can get the ball off an engaged player, then he can progress the ball well with the dribble.

That said he should still be instructed to come back and do that because his pressing in the opponent's half isn't that good either.

He is basically a Giant Brahim but I believe Brahim brought more intensity and passes better whereas RLC finishes better due to his physical ability.

LC shouldnt be an anchor thats for sure.
But in a double pivot next to a smarter & agile player like Tijjan it could work complementing each other.
But at the end what matter is the tactical set up & Pioli's best set up was Kess-Ben duo but since then he isnt able to replicate something as good.

Where the F all the European DNA gone?

Small teams like Atalanta and Roma (last year) more potent in Europe than us during Bioli tenure. Its gonna be hard to brag about 7 CLs if we continue like this

Psh, I can anchor this team, watch me. I'm at least at a Serie Z level.

So just put this as your signature so it's clear that when you make arguments, they're biased one way and you won't see the other side.
I'll get working on that around the same time you sort out that anger problem

Milan News reports that we've had two meetings with Lopetegui as next coach if Pioli is let go. Supposedly he's a good tactitian and developer of young players. I'm not familiar with him so I ak if he's a good choice for 24/25.
How can I take a publication seriously who a week ago said Pioli is safe and even getting extended

and now they're 2 meetings deep to replace Pioli ok

Why should you take all of them seriously ? It is not a club official statement .

I'm very curious to see who is brought in this summer.

The sticking with Krunic still blows my mind and only seems worse given our switch back to our former setup and then losing the player.

Lopetegui is an underwhelming choice (probably not true). We'll be begging for Padre to come back if he is replaced with that joker

Be careful what you wish for....

This is gold, the first part is even better



The journalist (Monza fan) only said, to the camera "Here it is Leao"

Leao went mad and said "Da f*ck you want"

Why is Tijanni is so hopeless in front of the goal.

Pulisic man the best signing of the season.
I think I will soon upgrade him to Theo, Tomori status as sure shot players from first season. Mike has regressed in last few years. He was so aggressive he used to go and stand in the center, what an amazing sight it used to be.

I agree on RLC. I see him best in a 3-man-mid as mezz'ala, I think that suits his characteristics best (winning duels, dribbling, progressing the ball, making late-runs into the box) while hiding his defensive flaws in terms of positioning (ball recovery) and intercepting or retrieving the ball after a duel (possession won).

That being said, also compared to our other midfielders, that's what we really lack, a player in the middle who wins the ball respectively the possession back once we're not in possession. We don't have one midfielders who's good at that.

There is a good rugby match in Turin

By the way, what does the respected forum think about Bellanova as a replacement / alternative to Calabria? A pupil of the club, young, bold as a bullet, sharp
