1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: Today at 05:49:00 PM
Luckily, in the last match of the season, Union Berlin managed to win over Freiburg and it was not an ordinary victory considering that the additional 3 points were very important to keep them in the Bundesliga next season. In the end, with all the bad things that happened this season, Union Berlin finished at one level of the relegation zone with 33 points.

That is something they should strive for considering that there is not much they can do from the start of the season onwards. Union Berlin cannot correct the mistakes they have made so far. I can only hope that they can find their game again like when they were able to secure the top four in the 22/23 season and don't let the red streak from this season happen again next season.
Indeed have bad perform, Union Berlin got luckily after success outside from relegation playoff round and will existing in Bundesliga for season 2024/25 considering their performance last season success finish at Champion League spot standings. Important victory over SC Freiburg and helped Union Berlin reach the outside standings from relegation zone and make Bochum have start the relegation playoff match although both team currently have the same points.

I think big mistake of Union Berlin performance last season because focus on Champion League match, in other side their squad is not on the higher level but get appearance playing in Champion League and make decreasing perform in domestic league. I think they must improving with composition for next season and reach back the Europe League or Champion League spot standings.

Is it just me or did anyone else also expect better performance from Freiburg?

I thought they should have finished the season a lot better compared to what they have done. They did not win a single match in the last five that they have played in this season. They were in a pretty decent position. But towards the end, they had lost it. I definitely expected them to finish better than the 10th position that they have done. and I think we can expect that from a team that has finished fifth in the last season. This was a big disappointment for them. I hope they will be able to figure out what the problem is and fix that going into the next season. Otherwise, there is a very big possibility that they are going to actually finish near the relegation zone. I know that is a little extreme situation to think about. but it is very much possible as well.

Pochettino is rumored to be the next coach of Manchester United after the last game of Ten Hag
(it will be played vs Mancehster City, so a probably loss)

About Manchester United, Greenwood is wanted by Napoli.

it is just a rumour to make Pochetino be tainted like a good manager, Manchester United is never going for Pochettino.  They have other coaching prospect that even Southgate is far from the job.

Greenwood future depends on the next Manchester United manager; a wise coach brings him back and bolster the squad attack, a poor manager sells him and buys another waste of a right winger to the Manchester united squad.

What do you think will happpen?



https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1794107328171483353

Well, I guess Manchester United is not worried about the biggest problem that they have right now. I am pretty sure that if they had any decent coach, this same squad is going to be able to bring in better results. I think the coach that they have right now is just not fit for the job.

I do not understand what the authority is thinking. He has problems with a lot of the players in the squad. you know a  lot of players actually left Manchester United who were very passionate about Manchester United just because of him. and the authorities are still interested in keeping the coach. I do not understand what is going on. I think at this point if the owners of Manchester United do not change, nothing is actually going to change and things are going to get worse.

Maybe they'll fire Xavi Hernandez first. You can focus on that for now. I feel like if they get him fired they're daft and a dvmp headed side. How well have they even transformed Nice in the france league 1 Competition.
Can't believe you're one of those who use just a season to judge how the coach has been for the club. It's mind blowing...

Did you say a season? Isn't this Ten Hag's second season?
Comparing Ten Hag to Xavi is not very fair for Xavi, is it? Xavi has been at the club for 2 and a half seasons and he has a league title and the Spanish Super Cup to his name, what does Ten Hag have? Now the trophies aside, have you been impressed with the way Ten Hag handles Manchester United? Look at the way he handles the players, that shows poor management. Look at how the team plays, very awful. Barcelona wants to fire Xavi because they're a big club and a big club wants results.

There are a few things you look at before giving a coach more time at the club even though he's failing. One of those things is how he instils confidence confidence on his squad. Now let me ask you this, do Manchester United players believe they can win a trophy next season? Do they believe in themselves? What motivation do they have? Indeed, United don't have a good squad, but the players should believe in themselves and that would only happen if the coach instils that confidence in them.

You talked down on Arsenal, and that's cool. I'm history, Manchester United have a better mentality than them, but this isn't history. The difference between Manchester United and Arsenal right now is that Arsenal believe they'll win a trophy next season (even though they might not) but I can't say the same for Manchester United

The problem is a coach has to think about what’s best for the club that he is managing right now. He cannot think about what worked somewhere else and try to implement that same thing in another club. The problem with Ten Hag is that he was trying to make Manchester United to Ajax 2.0. Of course that was not going to work out. And also he was a little biased towards bringing in Dutch players or players from the Eredivisie division. I think he did not have the best interest of the club. First, he thought about himself and after that, he thought about the players that he liked. Not the players that would be best for the club.

I know a lot of people are going to talk trash about Arsenal. But the truth is, they are improving. Yes, I agree that they are spending a huge amount of money. But they are also bringing in good results. Manchester United is also spending money but the result is not there.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 24, 2024, 05:27:24 PM
The La Liga is technically over already.  Smiley  Because there is no competition left for any target. There won't be any change in top 7 no matter what the results of the final week are. When it comes to the relegation zone the teams to relegate are also official: Cadiz, Granada and Almeria. Therefore the remaining games are only formality.

Big congratulations to Girona once again! They fully deserved the third position after all that high effort. They actually beat Barcelona by the same score (4-2) twice but they are finishing behind them. It is due to some complacency on the recent weeks of course.  Smiley  I can't wait to watch them in the Champions League.

There is nothing remaining in this season, and Real Madrid has already won the trophy. I don't think there is any other game remaining in La Liga there are no more adjustments to be made. Even in the final week, nothing will change because everyone already understands their beliefs. The three clubs are undoubtedly going to be relegated. and Madrid's chances of taking home the Champions League were strong.  and things are surprising because who would expect Girona not to make it to the second place? I feel Girona should have done more because I remember at some point they were dragging points with Real Madrid. and next season Girona might have a chance next season. but I feel next season is going to be tough because of the way Girona has thirsted for victory so they will want to get to that top at all costs, I see some other clubs coming up so next season is going to be hot. and they have a good prospect next season coming from next season.

Yaah, the La Liga season is basically over.
The teams that are going to participate in the Champions League have already been decided,
the teams that will play in the Europa League have also been decided.
The teams that are going to get relegated have also been confirmed and
at the same time, the teams that are going to play in the Europa Conference League qualifier have also been confirmed.

Nobody is going to change places. Teams that are in these certain positions are also not going to change positions between themselves as well. Because only one match is left and the point difference between these teams are more than three with each other.

So the La Liga season is basically over. I am a little disappointed to see Girona finish in the third position. They had the potential to actually finish on the second ahead of Barcelona. But they had fallen off a little towards the end of the season. I do hope though that they will be able to keep performing well in the next season.

Thats funny. Before the game, many predicted a Leverkusen triumph. You couldnt bet against a season-unbeaten club, right? Football's beauty is its unpredictability. On reflection, this result doesnt change the overall picture. But Leverkusen has had a great season. Without many star players, going unbeaten in the league and reaching the European final is difficult. They'll be devastated, but they may learn from it. Still, it shouldnt interfere with what they've done. It should energize them for next season. Since they've defeated the finest, I think they'll be stronger than ever. Remember: Leverkusen's greatness is just beginning.
Next season, Bayer Leverkusen will have an even greater league than this season, namely the Champions League through the Bundesliga, which Leverkusen won this season. This will be quite interesting for many people to wait and watch because in the Champions League there are many teams that are more challenging and also stronger than the teams in the European League. I am also quite amazed at the achievements that Leverkusen has made this season in the two leagues they are playing in this season and this will certainly provide a more mature readiness for Leverkusen when they take on the Champions League next season.


Source: ESPN

I was honestly very surprised to see this result from Leverkusen. I thought there was no way they were going to lose this match let alone lose this match so convincingly. And I thought that because of the performance they have shown throughout this season. Now I think maybe we all underestimated Atalanta a lot. Ademola Lookman the Clash of Kings showed an extraordinary performance.

I also feel like Leverkusen might have done the same thing as well. Because I think the outcome should have been better for them from this match. They had a great chance of winning all the things that they could in this season. But they have failed. without his hat-trick Atalanta will never be able to break Leverkusen's morality.

I was getting a feeling that one of two things are definitely going to happen. Either they are going to not be able to win all the finals, or they are not going to be able to maintain 0 losses in the Bundesliga. But still, I think the things that they have achieved in this season are really good. they obviously already have made history. It just could be better.

Money addiction

In my opinion, when we talk about the word "addiction", we are talking about bad things and evils in society. Meanwhile, making money is to meet life's needs and to survive in this world, so I wouldn't call making money an addiction.

Making money is an extremely difficult and sometimes even life-threatening task in high-risk jobs. So in your opinion, is anyone stupid enough to be addicted to things that can get them into trouble, even endanger their lives? Making money is our only way if we don't want to be eliminated from this world.
7  Economy / Speculation / Re: I believe Bitcoin will surge to new heights after this dip on: May 24, 2024, 02:44:35 PM
You don't need to consult or listen to analysis from any analyst, bitcoin's price increase is inevitable and will definitely happen, the only problem is time. That's why people often advise each other not to pay too much attention to the short-term volatility of bitcoin, look at the long term and bitcoin will never disappoint us.
I have not heard this in a long time and like the advice Smiley
It's funny how all these guys have appointed themselves experts of Bitcoin but where nowhere to be seen when price was worthless and few believed in crypto...but today have become the loudest!!

Btw, I do agree we don't need the so called consultants because we already know that Bitcoin supply is in a limited supply and price is going in one direction..which is UP.

If we take the time to learn everything about bitcoin, we will see that it is only a matter of time before bitcoin price increases and we can also be our own experts without having to listen to anyone's predictions. Furthermore, if we spend time understanding the market, we will know that this market has no experts, only cycles and investor psychology. But the sad thing is that most people don't take the time to learn everything, they just like to go to self-proclaimed experts and believe in what they predict.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 24, 2024, 02:16:32 PM
I don't know whether we consider money as a wealth or not, but money is something that all people need. Money is everything in today's world to live properly and live comfortably. A man who has no money understands the meaning of money. I agree with you that money can never buy happiness but if you don't have money your loved ones will not look after you and even your wife will leave you.

There is a saying in our own vernacular, "If there is no money, love flies out the window" it is absolutely true. The main goal of people doing all kinds of activities and jobs or business in the world is to earn money. Again, the main goal of earning money for people is to spend their days happily and peacefully with their loved ones. If there was no need for money in the world, then maybe people would not run like mad to earn money. We need money to buy things or assets that we need to live well.

"Money will buy happiness", when you have money, your family will have a full life without having to worry, cause stress, and lead to chaos in the family. When you have money, you will have more time to spend with your children and take care of your elderly parents. When you have money, you will have more time to take care of yourself...and you can do many things that you couldn't do before just because you didn't have money. Isn't that happiness?

Money not only buys happiness but it also helps maintain your happiness as you said, because no matter how beautiful love is, but without money everything will become very ugly. I believe that married people will understand this better than unmarried people. So with my life experience, I can say that money can buy everything.
Among the few things that a man needs most to make his life full and happy, money is the most necessary. As I said it is true that without money one does not value one's family. If a person has a large amount of money, he is still respected by everyone even if he is a fool in the society. And if a person does not have money, even if he passes his master's degree, he is looked down upon by everyone.

Now people's life has come to such a stage that if you have huge amount of money you will get value to people if you don't have money you will have no value to people. That's why people now want to earn more money because without money, happiness and peace in life is never possible. It's not just that having money brings happiness and peace, even if you have a beautiful mind, you can live happily and peacefully. There are many people who have a lot of money but they are not happy, I have also seen many rich people who have a lot of money but their wives left them. One of the examples we can give is that Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, despite his endless money, his wife left him. What do you say about it?

There are people who are living in poverty and difficulty but they always smile, always say that they are satisfied with their current life. Simply because they have accepted their fate or they are comforting themselves so they don't feel too much pressure from life. Honestly, I have never seen a poor person have a happy life, I have never seen anyone who is poor and has a peaceful life in a society dominated by money like today.

You want to talk about Bill Gates' marriage? In my opinion, there are many reasons why a marriage breaks down and we will never know their personal life so it is difficult to say divorce is a bad thing for them or their divorce is related to money. Surely you have seen many divorced couples but still become friends, divorced but still happy every time they see each other...And what do you think about these cases?
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Idea of btc is genius the limited supply that's why i think it's safe heaven on: May 23, 2024, 04:05:38 PM
Scarcity is important just as the hard cap limit, but these things have never defined the value of something. The most important thing is use cases. Real acceptance.

I can give you many examples of things that are scarce but not really valuable, just because nobody needs them for anything.
Take tellurium - one of the least common elements on Earth. It's not that expensive for something that rare. It costs $80 per kg, which is much cheaper than silver, not to mention some other, rare metals like ruthenium that's over 10x the price of silver.

Rarity, cost of production and all that does not equal value.
Bitcoin is not the only asset with a limited supply, and creating tokens with a limited supply has never been difficult. It's sad that many people still make the mistake of thinking that supply is what determines the value of bitcoin. I wonder if bitcoin has no use case and no practical application, how does the fact that bitcoin has a limited supply come into play?

There is no denying that limited supply also plays a role in bitcoin's increase in value, but it is the use case that determines bitcoin's demand. Higher demand combined with limited supply, in turn helps bitcoin value increase. The fact that people pay too much attention to the supply and ignore bitcoin use cases proves that people are only speculating on bitcoin, and they don't really understand what bitcoin is.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: What scares me from investing in gold. on: May 23, 2024, 03:47:01 PM
I think Gold used to be a good investment but it just simply doesn’t provide high enough returns any more to interest me. We’re here on a Bitcoin & cryptocurrency forum, Gold is a boomers investment. Bitcoin is here to take over, I see no reason why anybody under 50 would want Gold now.

There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to own gold in this day and age, gold is still the asset considered the best inflation hedge and safe haven. That was most clearly shown during the recent inflationary period, when crisis and inflation attacked the world economy, gold continuously increased in price and was always the top choice of the Government as well as billionaires.

And the reason we choose bitcoin is because we want to get rich quickly, we don't have too much capital and we want to become rich with our little capital. It is true but many people are trying to hide it and are starting to criticize gold and real estate, assets that they seem unable to own.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Better Money: Gold, Fiat, Or Bitcoin? on: May 23, 2024, 03:24:41 PM
BTC,gold is definitely better than money. Because the value of cash is decreasing day by day. It is very risky. But if one invests money in bitcoin or gold, the value of money will increase day by day. We all know how profitable investing in bitcoin is.  And how much profit it guarantees. And those who don't know much about bitcoin will definitely want to invest in gold. It is also profitable, but there is some harassment when selling gold.
For most people who don't understand what bitcoin is, I don't think they believe that it can make money, they only trust gold to store it. According to them, if there was an increase, they would definitely say it was a profit. In fact, the increase in gold was not very significant. If they understand or understand what bitcoin is, I think they will definitely switch their investment asset choice from gold to bitcoin, which is much more profitable in the very long term. Fiat is valued by society because it is our transaction tool for daily needs. However, the fact is that many people do not know that its value will continue to shrink or decrease from day to day due to the impact of inflation.
From the explanation you gave, I can conclude that Bitcoin is better than gold and fiat. Because bitcoin is able to overcome the shortcomings of both, bitcoin is here to perfect what gold and fiat do not have. Fiat loses value due to inflation, gold for investment but the increase is not as big as bitcoin.

In essence, this comparison makes it clear that the concept of Bitcoin is much more perfect than Fiat and Gold as a store of value and a better future for transactions. Gold and Bitcoin are both valuable assets, gold because of its physical properties while Bitcoin because its supply and users are limited. Basically, gold can be considered a store of value rather than a practical means of exchange because gold has weaknesses such as being heavy and difficult to carry, of course this is an obstacle. In contrast to Bitcoin, Bitcoin has the potential to become a transaction tool that is widely used anywhere and at any time and is more practical. So in conclusion, Bitcoin is the best money, even though currently we still have to use fiat because there are no other options for transactions in everyday life.

Is this a fair comparison and assessment? When I just see you guys constantly bringing up the downsides of fiat money and gold, and giving all the flattery to bitcoin. Gold does not bring higher returns than bitcoin but it is safer and more stable than bitcoin, it does not get dumped 70%-80% in just a few months. Gold is bulky so storing and moving around can be difficult at times, but bitcoin also has associated risks such as being hacked, forgetting the seed phrase, and how can we use bitcoin without internet?...No asset is perfect, and each asset is used for different use cases. Even though we are bitcoin investors, we don't need to exaggerate bitcoin and badmouth other assets, because that doesn't make bitcoin any better.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Cbdc are cryptocurrency it just they don't tell you that on: May 23, 2024, 03:00:36 PM
This would have been the case in my country if crypto were allowed but it is not so. For Trump, I am of the belief that even though he supports cryptocurrency it doesn't mean that he can stop any regulation on it. He is not the only one who makes a decision. It has got to pass through congress and the other regulatory bodies.
A president can do anything he wants. Yes there are a lot of other people under him that might be against the adoption of bitcoin but as president he can easily remove those people and appoint those who will side with him. And it wouldn’t be hard to find people on his side because people would want to be on the good side of the president for their own benefit.

It’s just a matter of will he really be pushing crypto imto his platform?

I don't think this works exactly like that. I'm not a great connoisseur of the electoral system in the country, but afaik depending on the results of the elections a President can see his proposals cancelled if he doesn't have the required support in the Congress. So I agree with Davidvictorson.

When you state that a president can do anything he wants, what do you base your claim on, peter0425?

A president with full decision-making authority only happens in countries with one party and one regime such as communist countries like China. The United States is a multiparty country and the president is the final decision maker in signing and promulgating new laws and regulations. But he does not have full authority to make all decisions without the consent of both houses as well as the National Assembly.

Unlike communist countries, in capitalist countries, presidents sometimes have to listen to the opinion of the crowd, they do not arbitrarily make the opposite decision because they will lose their own credibility. Like what is happening now, if Biden continues to oppose cryptocurrency and veto the FIT 21 bill, he will lose the majority of voters who support him and Trump will prevail. I think the Biden administration will not let that happen when the race to the White House is very close.

13  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: May 22, 2024, 03:45:52 PM
People save because any time he may face a danger in emergency time he can use his savings to solve his problem I agree with this. Many people also save for other purposes, such as living a better life in the future, saving money and investing somewhere. Because we are self-employed people, we cannot invest immediately even if we want to. to invest we have to manage funds that come from savings. so saving is very important in everyone's life. a person who can save money without misusing his money can be financially happy in his life......
Saving is very important and it plays a huge role in our lives because life is always full of surprises. But one thing I see is that many people underestimate saving, they always have the stubborn mindset that inflation causes money to lose value and they don't want to have any savings. Meanwhile, they never even know what their country's inflation rates are and how they change. Instead, they think about investing and investing all the money they have, they dream that investing will help them beat inflation, help them become rich. They forget that making money is never easy and is even more difficult when it comes to investing because the higher the return, the higher the risk.

Even billionaires and top businesses always have money saved for emergencies, but surprisingly, retail investors like us think saving is wasteful.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: May 22, 2024, 03:23:14 PM
...
How do we know how to run a business without having knowledge in it, how can we be the boss but we know the business we run like and how to run it if we only know based on the theory in the book we have read.



Like I said, when you have money, there will be a lot of people willing to do those jobs for you as long as you can pay them the salary they want. And during the time you let them help you run your business, you have enough time to learn all you need. Let's look at reality and like I said, why do many highly educated people work and become employees? Simply because they don't have money, while you are probably no stranger to the story of many people who do not have expertise in a business field but they are still the owners of that business. Let's take Elon's example, is he running Twitter, does he have experience in social media? No, he just bought it because he loves it but he is the boss and there are a lot of talented people working for him. In business, money is still the most powerful factor.

I guess PSG have actually spent a lot of money in recent years and they are also not being able to still recover from the fact that they had to let Mbappé go. that’s why they are currently targeting young players who can be bought for a little less money.

But anyway I think this investment could be very good for PSG. And it is also good to see that they are thinking about investing in young players instead of just buying the best players that they can get with huge amounts of money. But I think they should move quickly because otherwise a lot of other clubs are going to be interested in him as well. And this player is only 18 years old.

I do agree that 4-4 wasn't what Real Madrid expected, there is no doubt about that but at the same time we should realize that we are not going to end up with anything that would be all that simple for just looking at the scoreboard and think that's fine.

I mean they knew the league is theirs so they didn't really defended as well as they could, they don't really care anymore, there is only one game left that they cared, which is UCL finals and get the 15th, would be more than double of the next team, it would be insane, the yare already at double. So, we should realize that we are looking at a team that is doing quite well and shouldn't be really considered like it is something to mean anything, we should consider how to get better.

Yes, that’s exactly what I think. And honestly, there is no reason for Real Madrid to actually care about the La Liga matches anymore. They have already been able to win the La Liga title. Even if they had lost the match, I do not think it was going to be a big deal for them. Of course, people are going to talk about this a lot if Real Madrid actually lost. but Real Madrid should concentrate on the biggest target that they have right now which is the Champions League final.

I actually think that a lot of people are talking about this match like Real lost. First of all, Real Madrid did not lose this match. They only had a draw. Yes, it was unexpected. Especially when they had such a big advantage. But still, it doesn’t matter at all in my opinion.

Bangladesh team was able to collect only 5 wickets in 12 overs. The team is not able to collect 5 runs in every over. USA is a very inexperienced team. Bangladeshi players are not able to play well against this team. Captain Shanto has collected only 5 runs from 5 balls. Liton's Strike Rate was less than 1.

Kylian Mbappe said goodbye to the fans in his last match at Parc des Princes with PSG, putting an end to 7 years of association. Mbappe won trophies during his time with PSG and received the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award for the fifth consecutive season recently. Despite winning many domestic titles with PSG, Mbappe was once again unable to bring home the European championship. However, Mbappe should still be proud of his achievements at PSG and need to prepare for the challenges ahead. A new chapter will be opened and the PSG team leadership is ready for a major summer 2024 shopping program to fill the void left by superstar Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe's departure helps this club save more than 200 million euros to pay salaries and bonuses next season. I believe PSG will reinvest in the transfer market to recruit famous stars.
Mbappe may feel proud but not as much as when he gets achievements with a big team that can get a prestigious title like the UCL and this will be possible as long as he can work together well when joining Madrid.
of course, this will be a sad season for PSG fans who will lose a very talented and very reliable player, but everyone should be able to understand how every season the regeneration of old players leaves the team and new players come to replace the empty places left by old players.
and a team like PSG shouldn't be sad when they lose Mbappe because PSG is a big team with big finances and can do anything to bring in players who have good talent.

we don't know what PSG will do to find a replacement for Mbappe, but I think PSG will definitely bring in a great striker player that we didn't know before or that hasn't been rumored before.
and we all know how PSG has always had the ambition to win a prestigious title and that means always recruiting players with very high quality.
we'll see whether PSG will bring in a new player like Osimhen or maybe not bring in a new striker player.

I am pretty sure that they are going to dump a huge amount of money again on some other player who they think is going to be a great striker for them. Since they do not have any problems with spending money. I am pretty sure that if they could offer more money to make Mbappé stay, they probably would have. But I guess it is good to say that finally, they have come to their senses.

We all understand that Mbappé was in the PSG team just because he wanted a lot of money. And there is nothing wrong with that. After all he is a professional footballer. He earns money for playing football. If someone is giving him more money, he is definitely going to go to the team that is paying him more. But at what expense? Is it a good thing to do at the expense of his career?

This is something that I believe should have happened a long time ago. And now that it has happened, nobody is surprised and PSG also knows that it is going to happen. The thing is if they had made the right decision at the right time, they could have gotten More than 200 million for him. And that was also two years ago. With inflation and other bonuses, we could say that it could have been 300 million right now easily.

I am still in belief that Sorloth should have been at a better team if given enough time. I do not know why he is not getting the attention he deserves, dude is the top goal scorer in the league after the last games.

Being the top scorer of La Liga in any season means that you are a great striker and he deserves it. He should have been at some other greater team, imagine if he was at Barcelona instead? That would have meant that Barcelona could have fixed all their striker issue, Lewandowski problems and all that. In any case, Real still played well, Arda scored two more goals, he is at 6 goals for the season just after playing less than 300 minutes, that is less than 1 goal per 50 minutes and the kid looks like a future super star easily.

At the very least, it is a testament to other teams who are able to succeed with previously unknown players. Unlike Barcelona who only buy top players but unfortunately, this method will only continue to worsen Barcelona's finances. After all, if Barcelona is able to be patient to build a team with young players then of course, slowly maybe Barcelona's finances will also improve. About Sorloth, the truth is that this is his first season playing in La Liga with Villarreal and his contract is still long until 2028. In fact, Sorloth played for Leipzig and then went on loan to Real Sociedad and Sorloth continued to be tied to those two teams for the last few seasons, until Sorloth played for Villarreal and managed to become La Liga's top scorer this season.

“I’m not looking for that (chants against president Joan Laporta),” Xavi said. “I want unity, consensus. I didn’t like it. I think about making a team. We are a group and even more so at Barca. It was unpleasant and I hope we can put it right.”
Barca were looking to confirm second place in La Liga and a €6million ($6.5m; £5.1m) spot in next year’s Supercopa de Espana (Spain’s equivalent of the English Community Shield) with a win — but that seemed irrelevant on Sunday.

Barcelona has been able to make sure that they finish the season in the second position. I have to say that they had to work really hard to make sure of that. Because Girona actually gave them a lot of problems. If Girona did not make any big mistakes, they could easily finish in the second position. But I have to give credit to Barcelona for believing in themselves and hanging in there. A lot of improvements have to be made by the way from Barcelona.

Now that Barcelona has been able to finish in the second position, I think it is going to give Xavi a little more confidence and he will be able to work with the squad as well. When Barcelona were not bringing in good results I saw the coach being upset with a lot of things. But that is understandable. He has to realize the job that he has taken up is going to be like this. He will have to do the best that he can with the resources that he has in his hand.

In business, capital is not just money, and money alone will not be enough as capital. If we can be trusted, have good credibility, have a good name, have skills, and have a good network then even in conditions without money we can pursue success. Moreover, many people are successful by acting as agents or intermediaries between sellers and buyers even though they don't have any capital.

But without capital, how can we build relationships, how can we create a good reputation...? It can be said that everything is closely related to each other and to be successful we need to combine it all. I have not seen anyone succeed without capital, or anyone have relationships without capital in these days.

I'm not saying what you said is wrong, there are still some people who become rich from nothing but such stories are not many and we can't even see someone who can do that in today's society. Those stories were stories of last decade, they are no longer true in today's society. That's why people often say the poor get poorer, while the rich get richer.
It is normal these days that only capital can make us meet the right people who will help our business grow to the standard we want. I don't think one can start a business without capital and if we look at the way businesses are growing they grow with people who have generated some good sales at first or enough statistics with good records before any potential investors can come in and support the business. Nobody wants to invest in a business where there is no growth at all.
Talking about this capital will be ambiguous in my opinion, because you also don't know how much capital you use to start a business and what you will try to do if you have that capital, many people have capital but can't maximize it to build a business, in fact if you do business it will fail because you don't understand what business is, in business it takes a strong soul to live it and it's rare for people to be able to do it.

If your soul is a businessman, do not have initial capital, but when you have the opportunity to get capital, you will definitely work on it, whether it can be from investors or from other sources, but speaking investors will first see the ability we have in running a business to be able to trust us to manage their money, so dedication to ability is much better than focusing on capital, because capital will come according to our abilities in any field of business.

If you are just waiting for the capital to be there and you don't have any understanding, I strongly believe that when you have the capital, you will be confused to start.

“don't get hung up on capital”

There needs to be a combination if you want to become the boss of a business, but if you have money, you can hire people to work for you, you can hire experts to teach you how to do business, open a company...Meanwhile, you are passionate about business and knowledgeable about business but do not have capital. You need to accumulate capital but there is no guarantee that you can accumulate or call for investment capital from someone. That's why many people have high levels of education, knowledge, skills, experience...but still only work for others.

I see many people emphasize skills and knowledge and think that money is not a top priority. That's not completely wrong but don't judge and look down on people who have money but no experience in business. Think about it, if they are a useless person with no talent, how can they make a lot of money?
