1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: Today at 04:50:15 AM
What is certain is that when 2 teams reach the final, they will make every effort to become winners, no one doubts the strength of Real Madrid everyone knows about it but don't forget that apart from strength a team can also win through luck. This season we saw many surprises in the final match and it is proof that every team can win in many ways, personally I do choose Real Madrid but I wouldn't bet there, I mean not for 1x2 buy yes for both teams to score.
There is no need to doubt Real Madrid's current performance, their success in becoming La Liga champions is a fairly clear benchmark that in the final match Real Madrid will definitely be much more dominant than Dortmund. But it is true, in the world of football, sometimes luck is something that is really needed. Because we can take Dortmund as a big example. I don't call Dortmund a weak team, but the steps Dortmund took to reach the final can be said to be filled with a lot of luck.

A big example was when Dortmund was able to beat PSG in the semifinals (leg 2). If we remember again, in that match Dortmund made many saves at the goal post. The reason is, in that match, Mbappe fired several shots on target at Dortmund's goal, but all his shots always hit the goal post. So if it weren't for Mbappe's kicks which always hit the goal post, I don't think Dortmund would have been able to reach the UCL final. However, it is PSG who will definitely qualify for the final.

That's why in this final match, if you look at their performance, Real Madrid is clearly superior. However, if for example in this match Real Madrid is unlucky, Ancelotti's team could suffer the same fate as PSG. But even so, I personally still hope that Real Madrid can become champions in the UCL final this time.

The half-time period was the most competitive match, as Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal, and the first goal came in extra time after half-time. Cristiano Ronaldo then scored another goal, after Al Menhali earned a red card for the Al Ittihad player, Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of the opportunity and scored another goal with his magic of feet. 
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a total of two goals in today's match with one of the toughest attacks. Al Nassr team scored 4 goals in this match but later Al Ittihad managed to score two more goals. And in the last minute, the match result was 4-2, the game ended, and Al Nassr team occupied the second place in the Saudi league.
The victory that Al Nasr achieved over Al Ittihad at the end of this season will certainly be very meaningful for Al Nasr. Even though the bitter reality is that Al Nasr was only able to finish in 2nd place, winning in this last match is certainly a source of pride. The reason is that in this match the Al Nasr players really played very impressively and confidently. Apart from that, what was even more amazing was that in that match Al Nasr almost beat Al Ittihad without a goal in return. However, entering the 80th minute, the Al Nasr players lost their focus a little and finally conceded in the 88th minute and also in extra time.

Apart from that, in this match Ronaldo displayed quite an extraordinary performance, because he was able to score 2 goals. So with the 2 goals he scored in this match, it is certain that Ronaldo will become the top scorer in the Saudi Arabian League this season, as well as breaking a new record as a player who can score the most goals in one season. I really praise Ronaldo's physique and skills, even though he is quite old, his performance is still very good and he is even able to set records.

Maybe if for example Ronaldo can still play well next season, I'm sure he can definitely achieve what he wants, namely presenting lots of trophies for Al Nasr. Because for the past two seasons, Ronaldo has not been able to present a trophy to Al Nasr. So of course he will work even harder to be able to bring Al Nasr to become champions in various competitions next season.

During the time when Benzema left Real Madrid in the past, I was worried about this team because of not have a center forward to take his place in the team but time after time they improved and they found a better way to fill the place of Karim Benzema in the team.
I guess they were lucky enough to have a player like Jude Bellingham to score goals and help the team to fill the place of the forward they lost in the past however still, he is not a center-forward player yet.

Yes, after Benzema left Real Madrid, the striker position became a problem at Real Madrid. But now all these problems have been resolved, because Real Madrid has very great players at the moment. Examples are Belingham and also Vinicius. These two players can be said to be the sharpest spearheads for Real Madrid at the moment. Because the proof is that these two players can always score goals for Real Madrid. Perhaps the most striking is Bellingham, even though his main position at the moment is not as a striker. However, he managed to score a lot of goals for Real Madrid this season and beat Vinicius who plays as a striker. So I think this is really extraordinary. Maybe if, for example, Bellingham's position was pulled further forward, I think Bellingham could definitely score more goals and become the top scorer.

However, of course there are reasons and considerations why Ancelotti did not use Bellingham as a center forward. Maybe Bellingham is better suited to his current position. The reason is that with his current position, Bellingham has a lot of space to freely explore all lines and also channel sharper attacks into the opponent's defense area. Because the proof is, in almost all competitions this season, Bellingham has always managed to provide assists. Maybe that's why Ancelotti made Bellingham an attacking midfielder or central midfielder.

The season is over,and many teams are considering making quality additions to their side,teams that needed new coaches are looking for a way to getting them through negotiation,and Chelsea have gone for the man they feel and think can save them next season while letting Pochetino go.To them, finishing in that position wasn't the best for them,but they forgot that the man was rebuilding the team,and rebuilding a team will only take time,and patience from the board,the fans and even the players,if they do not believe in the coach,then his dreams weren't going to materialised,which happened same because they never trusted in him.Lets hope this new coach gives them what they want.
It's true, currently all the teams in the Premier League are busy looking for new coaches or players, to fix all their shortcomings and become the best team next season.

Talking about Chelsea, I think their decision to fire Pochettino from the coaching chair was a very big mistake. Because as you said, Pochettino is currently in the process of making Chelsea a great team. But unfortunately Chelsea management does not see this, but instead looks at the final results achieved by Chelsea this season. So if, for example, Chelsea management still behaves the same as it is now in the next season, I don't think Chelsea will make any progress. In fact, Chelsea will definitely experience quite a significant setback. Because changing coaches every season, I don't think it's a good enough move for a football team. Because of course when a new coach comes, will start again from point zero. So it is very likely that this is what will happen to Chelsea now.

For this reason, it is likely that Chelsea will find it difficult to develop at this time. Because Pochettino was only halfway through improving Chelsea, he was fired. Chelsea's current situation is basically a bit worrying, especially after ownership of Chelsea changed to Todd Boehly.

While we are getting closer to the end of the season, just like the last season there are some teams that are linked to the superstar player of Napoli, Osimhen. But again this player seems unsure about the future if himself and the next season. Osimhen was even close to signing a contract with Real Madrid and joining this team but he didn't and he extended his contract while now he feels regret about this session he made.
I think this time he will leave however he is still injured for four weeks.


This summer's transfer market will certainly be a big opportunity for Osimhen to look for a club as big as Real Madrid to make his career even brighter. The reason is that at Napoli Osimhen is currently having a very difficult time progressing far in almost all competitions, such as Serie and also the Champions League. So with the hope of joining a big club, Osimhen's hopes of winning a prestigious trophy will definitely be much greater. However, until now I don't know whether Real Madrid is still interested in Osimhen or not. The reason is that in this season's transfer market, Real Madrid is targeting several big names to bring in. So I am a little doubtful, for example, this season Osimhen can be successfully recruited by Real Madrid. But if, for example, Real Madrid is not interested in Osimhen, there are still several big clubs that could become his new club. Like PSG, Chelsea and also Arsenal.

Because from the news that I know, Osimhen is currently being linked with these three clubs. I don't know which team will succeed in bringing in Osimhen. If, for example, Osimhen fails to become a player for these clubs, it seems that playing in the Saudi Arabian league is not a bad thing for him. Because there are news media who say that the Saudi Arabian league is the final destination, if for example Osimhen has not received offers from big clubs in Europe.

Quote
Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Maggio said about Osimhen's future: "Osimhen wants the Premier League, if an offer doesn't come then he will consider an Arab offer. At the moment there are no clubs paying his clause, Osimhen wants Arsenal, otherwise he will consider Saudi Arabia."

Regarding the issue of Xavi Hernandez being fired and then replaced by Hansi Flick, there is another story that is an interesting note in La Liga this season. Artem Dovbyk became the first player in the last 15 years to become the top scorer who was not a Real Madrid or Barcelona player.

Before Artem Dovbyk name appeared as the player who scored the most goals in one season, the player who managed to win La Liga top scorer always came from Real Madrid or Barcelona, players from both clubs were very dominant in winning this individual title. The last time a case like this occurred was in 2009, at that time Diego Forlan managed to score 32 goals. This number could not be caught by Real Madrid and Barcelona players, after that the dominance was always held by the players of these two big clubs.

Will Artem Dovbyk be able to maintain his sharpness next season to win the top scorer title for two consecutive seasons?
Xavi being fired from Barcelona may not be just an issue, but it seems the news is true. Because I read the news about this, and it said that Xavi had been fired from Barcelona on May 24.

Quote
Barcelona fired Xavi Hernandez from the coaching chair on Friday (24/5). The decision was taken after Barcelona officials met with Xavi at the club's training center, Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/sport.detik.com/sepakbola/liga-spanyol/d-7361176/keinginan-xavi-sebelum-dipecat-barca-mau-depak-empat-pemain/amp
Xavi Hernandez has actually been good at carrying out his duties as a coach, even the galar he got last year was not just luck, but the result of his hard work in taking care of the Barcelona players. If he had to be fired from Barcelona, it would not be a big problem for him and his future, no There is something bad about Xavi if you look at the mental and tactical aspects he was given during his tenure as coach, finishing in second place is not an easy thing for a club like Barcelona in this time of financial problems, but if the decision is unanimous then there is nothing for Xavi to regret because it all goes back to Barcelona management in retaining Xavi as coach.
I agree with you, that basically this decision raises the question, why Xavi was fired by Barcelona management. Even though Xavi has so far been able to make Barcelona quite strong and successful despite the existing limitations. The reason is that last season, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to become La Liga champions and also won the Spanish Super Trophy. So the point is why Xavi was decided to be fired by Barcelona management. Even though Barcelona is currently experiencing financial limitations. So even if you think about it briefly, this will definitely make it difficult for Barcelona in the coming season to find a new coach who has good qualities like Xavi.

And I also don't understand what happened with Barcelona and Xavi this season. The reason is, this season Xavi stated that he would leave Barcelona after this season ended. Then after that news circulated again stating that Xavi had changed his mind and would continue to coach Barcelona next season. And now it is Barcelona management who have decided to fire Xavi. So regarding the case of Xavi and Barcelona, ​​this could be said to be quite complicated for me.

Maybe there is another problem that we may not know about, which causes this to happen. But as you said, Xavi will definitely be fine even if he is fired from Barcelona, ​​and that is true. Because of course there are other big teams that will be eyeing Xavi to become their coach.

It's better to call them local champions, nah! Al-Hilal dominated the Saudi Pro League season but failed to get past the AFC Champions League semifinal. I'm frustrated that Al-Hilal was knocked out by a team from the United Arab Emirates. While they steamrolled through the Saudi League, they had a poor record in the AFC Champions League. Fans are disappointed following the loss of the Saudi giants, Al Hilal.
The Saudi King's Cup is set to start on Friday, May 31st. Al Hilal and Al Nassr will now compete for the King's Cup trophy. Ronaldo has sent Al-Nassr to the final, and it's his last chance to end the season with a trophy. Honestly, their battles are always a treat to watch.
Yes, even though in the Saudi Arabian League Al Hilal is a strong team and has not been defeated, in the Asian level competition (Champions League), Al Hilal has not been able to do much. This means that Al Hilal has to improve it next season, because if you look at its performance this season, in my opinion it is very perfect. Maybe Al Hilal just needs to sharpen the players on the front line and also maximize the players in the midfield. Because if you look at the performance of the defensive players, you could say that Al Hilal is indeed strong at the moment. The reason is that when they lost to Al Ain in the semifinals of the Champions League, Al Hilal only lost by 1 goal on aggregate. Well, actually at that time Al Hilal had the opportunity to qualify for the final round, but unfortunately they were just unlucky and the front line players did not play optimally at that time. Maybe if next season Neymar can return to playing again, Al Hilal's front line will definitely be sharper. And the possibility of being able to compete in the Asian Champions League will definitely be maximized (perhaps becoming champion or runner up).

And for the King's Cup final, this match will definitely be very exciting to watch. Because in this match we will definitely see the hard efforts that Ronaldo and his teammates will make to fight for the trophy. I can't predict for sure about this final match. But if you look at the current performance of Al Nasr and Al Hilal, it is likely that it will end in a penalty shootout. Because even though this season Al Hilal have never lost to Al Nasr, Al Nasr certainly cannot be underestimated in this match. Because if Castro was able to come up with good strategies and tactics in this match, it is very likely that Al Hilal would have had a very difficult time winning the match. So in essence, this final match will be difficult to predict.

Then about Dobvyk who is La Liga's top scorer this season. To be honest
The name is quite foreign to me, but after Girona shone in La Liga this season, I just found out about it. So it is quite surprising that La Liga's top scorer does not come from Barcelona or Real Madrid. Even the top scorer in second place is not from Barcelona or Real Madrid this season, but a Villarreal player (Sorloth). And in 3rd and 4th place are Real Madrid and Barcelona players, namely Bellingham and Lewandowski.
So this season, if you look at the individual abilities of the players, Barcelona and Real Madrid are slightly behind.

Then for next season, I think Dobvyk will have much tougher competition to become top scorer than this season. Because of course there will be many other great players coming to clubs in Laliga. For example, Mbappe is reportedly very interested in joining Real Madrid. And this will certainly make the competition to become the top scorer in Laliga even tighter.

Manchester United have gain good spot in the Europa League and this is good news for the club. Atleast they're with major title won and Erik Ten Hag deserves his accolades. Manchester United are crowned FA Cup champions but it does make a difference? Its been really a long run for the Red Devils, eliminating Liverpool, Coventry and now facing Manchester City where they hits hard. They will not relieved Erik Ten Hag of his duties as headcoach for the Red Devils.
Yes, Manchester United's victory in the FA Cup final deserves our appreciation. The reason is, the opponent that Manchester United faced in the final was not a weak team, but this season's Premier League champions (Manchester City). So it's only natural that Ten Hag gets a decent award. But if, for example, Ten Hag is retained next season, I don't think this is the right thing. The reason is, even though Manchester United was able to become champions in the FA Cup, this cannot yet be a benchmark that Tenhag has great capacity to advance Manchester United next season. The reason is, if you look at Manchester United's performance in the Premier League this season, they tend to be less consistent and have experienced more defeats than last season. because last season the team made by Ten Hag managed to finish in 3rd place in the English league and was able to win 23 matches out of 38 matches. Meanwhile, this season Manchester United was only able to finish in 8th place and was only able to win 18 matches out of 38 matches.

So, if you look at these facts, Manchester United has clearly experienced a decline in performance this season. Therefore, if for example Ten Hag is retained by Manchester United, in my opinion it is not a good enough choice. The reason is, next season Manchester United will most likely not experience significant progress and will most likely remain in the middle position of the Premier League standings.
So, even though Ten Hag has presented the FA Cup trophy for Manchester United and was able to bring Manchester United to become champions of the Europa League this season. However, in my opinion, the right decision that Manchester United management must take is to replace Ten Hag from the coaching chair, and look for a new, better coach. So that Manchester United can develop further and be as successful as before.

Atalanta is going to play the last match against Fiorentina. looking at the form that Atalanta is in right now I think we can easily expect that they are going to win that match. of course, if they win that match they will finish ahead of Juventus. I think this season has already been pretty good for them. Especially because they have been able to win the Europa League title. And if they are able to finish ahead of Juventus it is going to be another good achievement for them.

~Snip
Atalanta's performance this season is indeed very good, because this season there are many unexpected things that Atalanta can resolve. Like beating a great team like Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, making it to the final of the Coppa Italia and also winning the Europa League trophy after beating an undefeated team, namely Leverkusen, with a fairly landslide score. Apart from that, this season Atalanta also has the opportunity to finish in 3rd place in Serie A. Because as we know, Juventus has finished all its matches this season and only has a narrow points difference with Atalanta. So, if for example Atalanta can win against Fiorentina, it is certain that Atalanta can finish in 3rd place in Serie A.

Then in Atalanta's match against Fiorentina, I also predicted that there was a big possibility that Atalanta could win.
Because if you look at the head to head record and also the last meeting between these two teams, the results are superior to Atalanta. Even though the head to head between these two teams is even, namely 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. But if you look at the last meeting, the result was superior to Atalanta, because Fiorentina was defeated by Atalanta with a fairly landslide score, namely 4-1. So that's why I conclude that Atalanta has a better chance of winning this match, because the last meeting was superior. Apart from that, as we know, Atalanta's performance has been really great this season. So Fiorentina doesn't seem to have much hope of winning this match.

Al Nassr succeeded in getting a 2-2 draw at away against Al Riyadh with one red card. Even though this is not to be much celebrated, they ought to be proud that they could avoid losing even with one man down. It is really something to build upon in the coming season because most times will despair as soon as they are issued a red card, besides not every coach knows how to manage such situations.

This is a match in which I expected Al Nassr to win. After all, they were going up against a team that was somehow staying out of the relegation zone. Al Nassr actually did well to break the deadlock and score the first goal. But after that Al Riyadh was able to score 2 goals in the first half and going into the halftime break by having an advantage. After Laporte got a red card, I thought the match might be over for Cristiano Ronaldo’s team. But in the 97th minute of the match, Al Nassr was able to score the equalizer. They were able to take one point from this match by scoring in the injury time.

~Snip
Yes, it's a shame that Al Nasr couldn't get the full three points in that match. Even though Al Nasr's potential to win this match is very large. Because if you look at this match as a whole, Al Nasr dominated the match very well. Ronaldo and his friends also created many opportunities in that match, but unfortunately Al Nasr was only able to achieve a draw in that match. So in essence, Castro must use this match as a lesson, because so far Al Nasr has often had difficulty winning when facing mid-table teams in the SPL. So don't let the habits and mistakes experienced by Al Nasr this season repeat themselves next season. Because next season the SPL will definitely be more competitive than the current season, because in the upcoming transfer market, clubs in the SPL will definitely recruit many great players from Europe. For this reason, Al Nasr must also continue to look for ways to improve all its shortcomings to the maximum.

Apart from that, today Al Nasr will compete again in the closing match of the season in the SPL, and the opponent will be Al Ittihad. I hope that in this match Al Nasr can win the match. Because in this last match I will entrust my bet to Al Nasr. Because if you look at the last meeting between Al Nasr and Al Ittihad, the result was that Al Nasr won with a fairly landslide score (5-2). So the possibility of Al Nasr winning this match could be said to be quite large.

That's not officially confirmed yet but it seems Tuchel is going to be the next coach in Manchester United. Tuchel Had a bad performance at Bayern Munich during this season and he also had a bad relationship with some players in this team which made some players to think about leaving Bayern Munich if he was going to stay in Bayern Munich as their coach for a longer time.
In the other than Ten Hag in Mancshter United had exactly the same situation and he couldn't get a good result even after hiring the players he wanted to have during this season, also he had bad relationships with some players like Sanch, which can show these two coaches were very similar this season and that's why I think hiring Tuchel is not going to make any change in Manchester United.

 
It's true, Tuckel and Ten Hag are often involved in controversy with the players they coach. Maybe because of this, these two coaches are not liked by many of the players they coach. But in my opinion, for example, let's compare Tuckel with Ten Hag in terms of his ability as the brain of a team. I think Tuckel is much better than Ten Hag, because this season Tuckel managed to bring Bayern Munich through to the semifinals of the UCL, even though they had to be defeated by Real Madrid. But in my opinion Bayern Munich's performance under Tuckel guidance can be said to be quite good.

Apart from that, when Tuckel coached Chelsea, the results could be said to be quite good too. The reason is, when Chelsea was still coached by Tuckel, at that time Chelsea was able to win the UCL and also the European Super Cup. Then when Tuckel became coach at PSG, at that time Tuckel was also able to take PSG to the UCL final, although in the end he was only able to become runner up after losing to Bayern. But this is still a pretty good record of achievement that Tuckel achieved in his coaching career.

So if, for example, this season Manchester United makes Tuckel as coach, I think that is very appropriate. Even though if you look at his attitude, he is similar to Ten Hag, the difference is that Tuckel is better at processing and rotating players. And also more adept at making strategies and tactics. For this reason, I personally think it would be very appropriate if, for example, Manchester United could bring in Tuckel next season.

Al Hillal have actually been celebrating their title for a long time and I think it has been a long time  they can secured the SPL trophy this season from the pursuit of their rivals especially Al Nassr, Al Hillal who are only dominated by local players were able to surprise us with their ability to win and maintain an unbeaten record in the league this season, Al Hillal performance this season is indeed like Leverkusen, the performance, in terms of players and even their ability to maintain an unbeaten record in the league is certainly no different, this season Al Hillal still have two games to go, one league game and another game against Al Nassr in the final round of the King of Saudi Arabia.

33 match unbeaten is certainly a very remarkable achievement for Al Hillal this season, so it Is quite natural for them to win the league before the league ends this season, Al Hillal performance in every game they are quite konsistent and like Leverkusen, Al Hillal is also able to make an extraordinary comeback when their team almost lost at the end of the game,  Seeing the Dominance and consistency that they are able to maintain every season, of course we cannot deny that Al Hillal will still be a strong candidate for the championship next season.
This is an advantage that other teams in the SPL do not have. Even though the majority of Al Hilal players are local players, they can still perform much better than other teams in the SPL. Even Al Nasr as Al Hilal's rival has not been able to match the success achieved by Al Hilal at this time. In fact, if you look at the list of players that Al Nasr currently has, many of them are filled with players who graduated from top European clubs. Like Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic, and also Alex Teles. But unfortunately, even though Al Nasr has many great players, they still haven't been able to beat Al Hilal this season. The last match between Al Nasr and Al Hilal also ended in a draw. So it is clear that Al Hilal is currently far above Al Nasr in terms of performance. And in the King's Cup, Al Nasr and Al Hilal will indeed meet again to fight for the trophy. However, if you look at the current situation, it looks like Al Nasr will lose to Al Hilal again.

Apart from that, Al Hilal's current unbeaten record can be said to be quite extraordinary. Maybe when compared with European clubs, Leverkusen can almost be compared to Al Hilal. However, the difference is, Leverkusen is almost unbeatable in all competitions, while Al Hilal is only unbeaten in the Saudi Arabian League. However, we still have to give a thumbs up considering that the teams in the SPL are now getting stronger, which of course makes the competition tighter, but Al Hilal was able to anticipate all of this. And for next season, the possibility of Al Hilal returning to become champions in the SPL is very big. Moreover, if for example next season Neymar can play again, Al Hilal will definitely be even better.

One thing that has surprised me throughout this challenge is how much it has changed my body. As someone who always worked out and did 20 push-ups along with other workouts I didn’t expect I would see much change when starting this. I’ve now seen my body immediately lose weight when starting, then start bulking up, and the last couple weeks I’ve noticed I’m slimming down again. Makes me want to push it more, but I’m trying hard to focus on all areas of the body. I have to say this has been such a great experience so far. If you’re reading this, start doing push-ups. I promise you won’t regret it.

Makes me want to start eating healthy more regularly, but one step at a time.
If done consistently, the benefits of push ups for the body will definitely be felt, even if little by little. Apart from that, don't be surprised if, for example, when you do push ups in the initial phase (1 to 3 months), your weight will decrease first. Because in this phase the impact of push ups will burn most of the fat in the body. Then after that muscle mass will develop, and slowly the body will become bigger and stronger.

That's why when starting push ups, never stop halfway, for example after 1 or 2 months of stopping. Because if you stop at this phase, the body will shrink because the fat has been burned, but the problem is that the muscle mass will not be too big because the push ups are not continued. So basically if you stop doing push ups after 1 or 2 months of doing it, then your weight will not be ideal.

That is the most decisive process in doing push ups. The point is you have to keep doing it and never stop doing push ups for more than 1 week. Because in my experience, after 1 week of not doing push ups, the muscles will weaken again and you will definitely feel pain again when you start doing push ups. What's worse, the habitual mindset of doing push ups will be difficult to form (in essence, you will be lazy to start again).

And I want to ask, has your appetite increased? Because if your appetite increases, this is normal. Because what I experienced, when I consistently did push ups for more than 2 months, my appetite increased drastically. Previously I only ate 2 times a day, after consistently doing push ups, I ate 4 to 5 times a day. After I studied it, it turned out that my appetite increased after consistently doing push ups, which was a sign that muscle mass needed a greater protein intake. And I think that's quite fun, because it feels like all the food tastes good after entering that phase.

Gasperini may leave Atalanta at the end of the season.
He said without saying that he has an offer from a big team and he is thinking about it.

Could be it Napoli?

Napoli and Milan will change coach for sure and at the moment we know nothing about them.

The coaching market is really in turmoil this season: people are looking for good coaches who are not too expensive given that the teams finances are truly disastrous.
He didn`t say who, but we can imagine by reflecting on which teams need a good coach: Napoli, Milan, Juventus.
Yes, it could be said that Juventus, Milan and Napoli need new, more qualified coaches to prepare for the upcoming season. The reason is, these three teams are performing less than optimally under the tutelage of their current coach.

From the news I know, Juventus is currently approaching the Bologna coach, Thiago Motta. Maybe Motta will be a strong candidate to become the new coach at Juventus. Because from the news that I know, Juventus has now received the green light from Motta, and perhaps Juventus' plan will soon be implemented to recruit Motta as its new coach. Then for Napoli, until now I have not found definite news regarding the potential coaching candidates that Napoli is currently targeting. Maybe Napoli has no intention of replacing the existing coach, because Napoli only recruited a new coach in the middle of last season. So even though Napoli's current performance is not good, it seems that Napoli management wants to give Calzona the opportunity to show his abilities as a coach next season.
Then for Milan, from the news that I know, there are several names of coaches who have the opportunity to replace Pioli in the coaching chair. The names of the coaches are Abate and Fonseca. Maybe these two names will be the strongest candidates to become Milan coach next season.

And regarding Gasperini, in my opinion, it is very likely that he will become a coach for a big team outside Serie A. Maybe in the Bundesliga or Premier League. The reason is that currently he is in the spotlight of clubs in Europe, because he succeeded in bringing Atalanta to become European League champions.

Because if, for example, Barcelona sells several of its players next season, in my opinion that is also too risky. Because, the risk is that Barcelona will not necessarily get better players than the current players. So in my opinion, utilizing existing players is a way out of the problems Barcelona is currently experiencing.
There are several players whose performance may decline due to age and I think those who are old enough can be sold and bought new players, at least young players who have more ability and have the potential to be able to play in the main squad at Barcelona, after all the competition is very tight in Next season, if we continue to play experienced players, it won't be enough because stamina and performance are necessary, especially since league matches are also quite time-consuming, having young players will be good enough to maintain consistency.

But I don't know whether Barcelona has enough money to buy new players and sell their players, even though we know they are in a financial crisis, I am not a Barcelona supporter but what I see is that Barcelona should have lots of young players to fill the main squad so they can compete in the season. in the future and Xavi can rotate each of his players so that he can continue to maintain consistency next season, at least winning the Laliga title is already a good achievement, let alone the UCL which is certainly not an easy competition to overcome.
It is true, selling players who are old and no longer have an important role could be Barcelona's choice in the upcoming transfer market. But the problem is, Barcelona currently doesn't have many old players, maybe only Lewandowski, Ter Stegen, Oreul Romeu and Gundogan are old enough. Apart from all that, these four players have a very important role in Barcelona, ​​in essence these four players can be said to be the pillars of Barcelona at the moment. So if, for example, Barcelona sells these players, then Barcelona buys young players, I believe it is very likely that Barcelona's performance will decline much further next season. Because young players definitely need a long adaptation period to be able to unleash their abilities.

Apart from that, what I know is that currently Barcelona has more young players and I think these young players are quite talented. Examples Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Roque, and Joao Felix. All of these players are future assets that Barcelona has, that's why I say Barcelona doesn't need to buy any more players next season. The reason is that currently Barcelona already has quite talented players. So that way, Barcelona can save a little in spending money.

They have been very successful in the Premier League, no one can deny that. I'm not a fan of Manchester City either, but I have great respect for them. It is not easy to play against strong teams, especially in such difficult leagues.
They will probably win the FA Cup too. This season, Manchester United are not playing as well as expected, and my candidate who I think will be the champion is Manchester City
In the Fa Cup last season, the final there actually brought together Man City and Man United. And even then Man City managed to win the match in the FA Cup Final. So I also predict something similar will happen. Because Man United's performance at the end of this season is worse than at the start of the season. And we can't expect too much from them. Even in their last 3 meetings with Man City, we can see that Man United always loses.

I'm also not a Man City fan but everyone respects this club for their extraordinary performance.
If you look at Manchester City's current performance, it is true, the possibility of Guardiola's men winning the FA Cup final will be very big. Moreover, the opponent is Manchester United, whose current performance can be said to be quite bad. However, I am sure that in the FA Cup final this time there will be a surprise that Manchester United can show. The reason is, the FA Cup final is the only competition that is a big opportunity for Ten Hag's team to win a trophy this season. Therefore, in the final, Manchester City must continue to play optimally in order to minimize all possibilities, if for example the Manchester United players play better in this match. Because even though Manchester United's performance this season is quite bad, sometimes when they face strong teams, Manchester United can always provide quite significant resistance. For example, when facing Arsenal and Liverpool a few weeks ago. At that time, Manchester United could balance and even win the match when facing this team. When facing Arsenal, Manchester United only narrowly lost 1-0 to Arsenal, while against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Manchester United was able to win the match with a score of 3-2.

So it can be concluded that this final match should not be considered too easy by Manchester City. Even though Manchester City is superior in many ways to Manchester United.

This week Al Ittihad is scheduled to face Damac in the SPL. I hope Al Ittihad is able to win this match, because in the last 5 matches Al Ittihad has not been able to win a single match. So if, for example, in this match Al Ittihad loses to Damac, of course that will be Al Ittihad's worst record this season. This season Al Ittihad's condition is indeed worrying, because many of its main players suffered injuries at the end of this season. What I know is that if I'm not mistaken, 14 Al Ittihad players are injured, and the majority of injured players are main players such as Benzema, Fabinho. Maybe that's why Al Ittihad's performance at the end of this season is getting worse.

However, in this match, even though Al Ittihad only played with minimal players, they should still be able to produce very good results (victory). Because if you look at the head to head record between Al Ittihad and Damac, the result is that Al Ittihad is superior with 2 wins, 2 draws and only experienced 1 defeat.

Regarding Karim Benzema, we know he could not have the good performance we were expected to see from him and he has been out of his good form since he joined Al Al Ittihad. In fact, when Al Ittihad hired Benzema they were hoping to see the same good performance they saw from Benzema when he was playing in Real Madrid for a year. Still, he couldn't, and since he joined Al Ittihad he was mostly injured. He couldn't play in many important games for Al Ittihad so far during this season which made the fans disappointed in their superstar and expensive player.
Now it seems even Benzema himself is tired of this situation and he wants to leave Al Ittihad and feels regret about joining this team.


Yes, Benzema's performance after joining Al Ittihad has indeed decreased drastically, unlike when he was at Real Madrid, he was able to become a striker who was hungry for goals. In fact, in 2022 Benzema will be able to win the Ballon d'Or trophy. So it is proven that Benzema's performance before joining Al Ittihad was indeed very good. So seeing Benzema's poor performance at Al Ittihad will definitely make Al Ittihad fans disappointed and surprised. Even though at Al Ittihad Benzema had 1 teammate who came from France (Kante). This should be a positive thing for the smooth running of Benzema's career. However, Kante's presence was not able to bring out Benzema's best performance. So maybe it's true, Al Ittihad is not a suitable team for Benzema. The reason is that while he was at Al Ittihad, Benzema looked unlucky in every way.
So if he decides to leave next season, I think this is the right choice for Benzema. Because if for example Benzema tries too hard to stay at Al Ittihad, I'm afraid Benzema's performance will get worse and in the end no team will want to recruit him again.

Even if you look at it from a financial perspective, it would certainly be very profitable for Benzema if he continued to stay at Al Ittihad until his contract expires in 2026. Because if for example Benzema stayed at Al Ittihad until his contract expired, then Benzema would definitely get a lot of money. So that after that he can immediately retire from the world of football and enjoy the money he has earned so far.

So the point is that currently Benzema will definitely be a little confused about his choice. Because of course there are only two choices, the first is money and the second is comfort when playing.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: May 23, 2024, 02:47:26 PM

You may notice how El Salvador ranks within the top countries holding bitcoins. Among the countries and companies ranked 15th is El Salvador, a country that has gained a place in the top rankings in just a short time due to constant purchases of Bitcoins. And will be able to go to a higher level in the future, because Nayeb Buckele is ready to hold more bitcoins.

A very telling chart since only five countries are ahead of El Salvador on the number of coins being held, however with its friendly policies, it is clear more coins will eventually reach its coffers and it could improve its ranking.

Still, I am surprised there are some big countries missing from the chart, like France, Japan or India, this shows that El Salvador is really ahead of the curve here, and this is good news for us as well, since the moment those countries decide they do not want to be left behind and begin to buy some bitcoin, then this will bring an increase on the price of bitcoin.
Yes, the graphics are amazing, because it only took two and a half years for El Salvador to become the 15th largest bitcoin holder in the world. In the not too distant future, the planning carried out consistently by President Nayib Bukele will now be very big. So with this evidence, you could say that Bukele is not a president who is just making nonsense, but he is really proving and realizing his plan to buy 1 bitcoin per day very consistently.

Additionally why India, Japan and France are not in the top 15 of the current list of bitcoin holdings. I think this is because there is no definite accumulation of bitcoin from these countries. In contrast to El Salvador, which clearly buys bitcoin every day and there has been planning from the start to buy bitcoin. Therefore, El Salvador currently has quite a lot of bitcoin and is ranked 15th on the list of largest bitcoin holdings.

Meanwhile, in a country like India, it is true that this country has shocked the world with its citizens who own a lot of bitcoin. For example, like last year

Quote
Based on data closed on March 1 2023, India occupies the top position or number one in the category of countries owning the most Bitcoin with 85.5 million
Source: https://pintu.co.id/news/46622-5-negara-pemegang-bitcoin-terbanyak

This figure does not mean that India has that much bitcoin, but the data shows how many of its citizens have bitcoin, that is the number (85.5 million citizens). Because until now I have not heard or read any news that says that India will start buying bitcoin. This is why India is not in the category of largest bitcoin holders, because India does not buy bitcoin like El Salvador. However, in the category of countries that have the most Bitcoin users, perhaps India will be in the top 5 in the world. So the reason Japan and France are not in the top 15 most Bitcoin owners is because they are the same as India.
