Currently there is no certainty whether Ronaldo will accept the contract extension offer because he is quite old but it would be an honor for Ronaldo and Al Nassr if both parties accept the offer.
It can be predicted that the last club before he retired was Al Nassr, the club he would defend before retiring and Ronaldo has also said that his son has also entered a Saudi Arabian football club and this is a sign that Ronaldo is very comfortable with Al Nassr and besides that it is also a sign that Ronaldo is likely to accept Al Nassr's offer if he will extend his contract.
Ronaldo to his current club. Such decision stated that he wants to end his football career for Al Nasser and he wants to play his last match for Al Nasser. Basically, when Ronaldo was going through a bad period, all the other clubs turned their backs on him, but Al Nasser extended a friendly hand to him and signed him back to the field. Although Ronaldo performed poorly for Al Nasser, Al Nasser always trusted him, that's why Ronaldo wants to announce the end of his football career for this club. Ronaldo's performance is completely ruined or in such a bad condition that he cannot be kept in the eleven but Ronaldo did not come so I at least believe that Al Nasser must extend the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo until 2026 and this may be the last contract of Ronaldo's football career.

The first match was a draw, the second match India lost and the third match will be played today. Looking at the struggle of India in the first two matches, it seems that the ODI series against Sri Lanka is very difficult for them, but in the ODI series, Team India was in the favorite position over Sri Lanka.

The third ODI is no different and the Indian team is once again struggling to chase this total. I am sure only a few would have bet on Sri Lanka before the start of the match Wink

Back to back, the Indian team's wickets are falling, I think in the next 10 overs, the Sri Lanka team could all out to the Indian team as they are playing with full concentration and aggression as well.

Riyan Parag and Shivam Dube are playing right now, only Shivam Dube is here who could make some runs but still he is not able to give the win to India while Riyan Parag is a good player and also finished in the last match of maybe T20 or ODI, I forget. Anyways, the Sri Lanka team is playing very amazingly and they could win it very easily.
What could be the reason behind India's poor performance in the ODI series is now a big question for us. Overs are more in ODI matches than T20 and in ODI series India fielded with original XI yet why did they perform so badly. It is certainly disappointing that the Indian team could not score the runs they scored in the t20s in the ODI matches. I atleast thought that India team will bat first in the third ODI match and they will set Sri Lanka a target but consistently they have batted in the second innings in three consecutive matches and they have failed 100% there. 

They lost the series badly to Sri Lanka, whom they narrowly bowled out in the Asia Cup.

If a team wants to achieve maximum glory, what is needed is good management, a qualified squad composition and good relationships between the club, coach and players. And we can see all of this at Inter Milan in the last few seasons. And I think AC Milan will also be able to do it this season. Because AC Milan has also tried well to improve their squad by taking advantage of the current player transfer window. It's just that one thing we may not be able to confirm is whether the current coach will be able to build good chemistry between the players in the main squad. Because this is also very important to enable all players to play more optimally.
It is difficult for Paulo Fonseca to be able to immediately make the AC Milan team develop in his first season, especially compared to Inter Milan, I think it is still not feasible.
AC Milan will of course try to build this team with its new coach even though in the pre-season match we saw Paulo Fonseca could make the AC Milan team's performance much better, but I think that is not a guarantee.

It may take several seasons for Paulo Fonseca to make the AC Milan team successful, because in football nothing is instant, everything takes a process.
So far we can only make an assessment from the pre-season matches they have played. And yes, in the end, the good results shown in pre-season matches may indeed be different from the actual matches when the season starts. It's just that from the way Paulo Fonseca makes strategies in pre-season matches, I think this coach can be expected to bring about good changes. but yes, it will definitely take time and will not happen instantly. At the start of the season, AC Milan might not immediately find their best game. But as the season progresses I am sure Paulo Fonseca will make the AC Milan squad better and better. Maybe I seem too optimistic. But yeah, this is just my guess. And of course my guess could be very inaccurate.
AC Milan showed a great performance in the friendly matches. I, and probably you, did not expect to see such a good performance from them. Right now, it seems like Fonseca has managed to add good things to the team, but when the league starts, everything will start to become clearer. Because the teams will be on the field with their best squad to compete in the best way. For now, everything is going very well, but we should not forget that these matches were friendly matches. The opponents may not have taken it very seriously, the real struggle will be in the league.
How a team performs in the preliminaries does not predict how it will perform in the main season. There are many differences between a friendly match and a main stage match. A team's objective in the main stage match is to win against the opponent at any cost and earn 3 points. In the friendlies that are now taking place before the main stage matches begin, we see the big teams not using their main weapons. Managers of big teams are trying to use players who sit on the bench for most of the season. But if AC Milan can perform like this in the main stage match like the friendly match and that performance is maintained then the matter is much more happy for the Milan fans.

I think in this pitch a total of 251 runs in defendable because Sri lanka have qualify spin bowling attack. Sri Lanka outstanding batting performance scored 240 runs in a loss of 9 wickets in first inning of match against India. Sri lanka batting performance is amazing especially Avishka Fernando batting well scored 40 runs and Kamindu Mendis also batting good scored 40 runs helped his team to set a huge total of 250 runs. Washington Sundar bowling performance outclass picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 30 runs his economy rate is just 3 runs per over. Sri lanka needs to pick easy wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli if they want to win this match and lead the series by 1-0.

Indian International ODI cricket team lose the match against Sri Lanka cricket team. Indian team could not chase 240 runs and all team out by making 208 runs and Sri Lankan team won the match by 38 runs. Jeffrey Vandersay was top performer of this match because he took 6 wickets in this match  by giving 33 runs in 10 overs. Sri Lankan batting was not good and they could not give excellent target in this match but after that they did top class bowling and they won the match due to great bowling.  There is no half century from Sri Lankan side but Indian team gave good start but after that we saw Indian team in trouble and Indian team lose the match in the end. Now the series is 1 in 0 and only one match is remaining. If Sri Lankan team wins  the the next match ,they will be winner of this series. There are no chances of Indian team as a winner because one match has been draw.
The first match was a draw, the second match India lost and the third match will be played today. Looking at the struggle of India in the first two matches, it seems that the ODI series against Sri Lanka is very difficult for them, but in the ODI series, Team India was in the favorite position over Sri Lanka. Now many may say that India has just finished the T20 World Cup and after finishing it they played a T20 series against Zimbabwe as well as a T20 series against Sri Lanka so they are still not adjusting themselves well to the ODI format. If anyone says that then he would be wrong because India is a professional team who should have the ability to do well in any format under any conditions. It is very important to find the root cause of the batting weakness and solve it in the third ODI match otherwise Team India will definitely lose the series against Sri Lanka.

I agree with you. West Indies are not made for test matches and they have long body and long chest and they are powerful persons and that like to hit a long sixes . But in test cricket that team is successful which is patient like Australia, England and South Africa. England is my favorite team for test matches because England players always play with situation and they play cricket mind and they rarely use their power. They always use the technique and mind and that's why they are successful in the test cricket. They always play with patience and South African team is also good team with patience. I salute to retired players of South Africa because they gave many new shorts to the world. Especially Ab De Villiers who is 360 player .West Indies players should keep patience if they want to be successful in test cricket.

Basically the main reason is that means which I think that is they play fast and they can't play slowly so that's why they are not good for test cricket. But if West Indies will focus on the test cricket so I think they can play well. Because they have ability to beat the top teams. But they need practice more. Their players don't have the consistency. If they will practice more so they can be good. By the at this West Indies performance for Test Cricket is not good they have lost a test series against England and now they are not playing well against South African team.
Hmmmm... That's a valid point I think. Because we mostly see that these West Indies players play fast. And I think therefore the fans mostly like them in T20 matches like in IPL PSL or in other leagues. They play fast and they have ability to change the situation of the Match. And that is the main reason that they are not playing well in the Test Cricket. And you mentioned the England vs West Indies Test match series in that series West Indies was trying to play well but they didn't. At a one point their players played well but due to lack of consistency they didn't played in the next innings. It is showing that they have ability but they need some practice.
We Caribbean cricketers think they will bat devastatingly and score a lot of runs off fewer balls. In all the domestic league tournaments we see West Indies players taking the field. For the West Indies players, performing in the domestic league is more important than playing for the national team. Basically, West Indies Cricket Board is not able to pay the cricketers regularly due to not being wealthy, so when a cricketer is made in West Indies, his main aim is to earn money by playing various domestic league tournaments, so they never evaluate the national team's performance. There was a time when West Indies was one of the best teams in Tests, ODIs and T20Is but since the day greed for money was created among the players, the team's condition has deteriorated. No West Indies player now wants to play five-day Test cricket is also a big problem behind the lack of success in Test cricket.

Team India is going to play the third and final ODI match of the series against Sri Lanka today. Although there are many achievements in the T20 series, there is no achievement in the ODI series so far for Team India. The third ODI match is their last chance if they win this match then maybe the series will be tied but if for some reason they lose this match then India will lose the series to Sri Lanka without winning any match in this series. 

The toss is very important for India in the first two matches as they did not succeed by batting later. If Team India wins the toss then they have to decide to bat first without thinking and try to set a good target by batting first. If they can put up 280 plus runs on the scoreboard then Team India will be in a much safer position in terms of wickets.

 The onus is on Rohit Sharma today as he hasn't got many runs with the bat in the last two ODIs and it will surely put pressure on him to deliver runs in the third match.

If you followed his rumor, you must already know that Al Nassr plans to extend his contract. It is reported that Al Nassr will extend 1 year for Ronaldo's contract. It means Ronaldo's contract will be over in Jun 30, 2026. If this happens, Ronaldo will keep playing in SPL until 40 years old. And he may also still play in Portugal national team as well.



Source: givemesport.com
Yes, this rumor has actually been hotly discussed since last season. Maybe this time the rumors will actually come true. Considering that Ronaldo looks very comfortable at Al Nasr. So Al Nasr's offer to extend his contract will definitely go very smoothly. The reason is that many reports say that Ronaldo intends to retire in the Al Nasr uniform. Although these rumors cannot be completely trusted, considering Ronaldo's current age, I think it is quite reasonable for him to retire at Al Nasr. So in essence, Al Nasr could indeed be the last club that Ronaldo defends. Because the point is, if you think about it, in this transfer market, Ronaldo's name was not mentioned or interested by any club. This doesn't mean that Ronaldo is no longer great, but because he is very old. So you can be sure that Ronaldo will definitely remain strong at Al Nasr.

Apart from that, currently Ronaldo has not been able to give Al Nasr the prestigious trophy. So it is certain that with this, Ronaldo definitely feels that his responsibilities at Al Nasr have not been achieved. Therefore, he will definitely be very excited to present the prestigious trophy to Al Nasr. I hope that in the coming season Ronaldo can give the Saudi Arabian league trophy to Al Nasr.
I heard news a long time ago that Al Nasr were always interested in extending Cristiano Ronaldo's contract and I believe it. The Saudi League first came to the fore with a deal with Saudi club Al Nasser, so Ronaldo can't wait to say what has definitely served as a big advertisement for his club and the Saudi League. Maybe Ronaldo's time is going bad and if Al Nasser let him go now, no other club might want to buy him, so at least Al Nasser won't let him go for a small amount of money at a bad time in his beautiful career. There are rumors that Ronaldo may play for Al-Nasser club until the 2026 World Cup and he may play the last match of his football career wearing the Al-Nasser jersey. But most of all would be happy if Al Nasser extend the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo for a long time.

A new manager has taken charge of a big team so he needs some time to implement his strategy well though the season has not started yet and when the main phase matches start we will know what strategy he has adopted for the team and how well his strategy is working. When a new manager takes charge of Bayern Munich, everyone questions his ability to run the club and it is natural to do so because the current manager's ability to run the club is not much better than the one that Bayern Munich let go.

If the manager that Bayan Munich handed over the responsibility of their club can do something good for the club then the fans will certainly appreciate their decision but if the team under the current manager is doing worse then the fans will question the professionalism of the management.
That's why pre-season tour matches must be maximized well, especially for a new coach like Kompany because he must find an effective strategy to bring the team to victory. Indeed, quite a lot of people will be waiting for Kompany performance with Bayern munich because last season Die Roten's performance in the Bundesliga was so bad because they closed the season in 3rd place.

But in the match against tottenham where Kompany managed to lead bayern to win the match with a final score of 2-1. I also think that a coach must be able to show a positive pace in the first few matches of the season because that will increase the confidence of the players or the coach.
Tottenham is never a stronger opponent than Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich were favorites in this match so Bayern Munich winning this match is not a big deal for me. Of course, a manager's strategy cannot be foretold by the results of warm-up matches. The current manager of Bayern Munich if under this manager Bayern Munich loses all the pre-season matches then I will not blame him but we will see how his strategy plays in the main stage matches. If a good strategy fails to be implemented then the Kompany will never succeed in taking this team to a good level. When the new season starts they should aim to win the German league title as well as do well in the Champions League.

`
The match against Madrid isn't one I think Madrid did take serious nd shouldn't be considered like one which AC Milan was actually superior to Madrid is and talking about Madrid's strong and firm squad, they weren't all present in that game, he only used a few of them and not the actual complete squad which he has selected to play this season (I mean his first 11). With Manchester city I believe similar thing did happened too because in that game Manchester city was seen with minimal dominance and that was really unlike them, the preseason games aren't one that should be taken seriously as the main strength of the trans will be seen when the season begins.
Any football fan knows preseason games are warmups. In August, Real Madrid and AC Milan arent playing their best. Ancelotti and Guardiola play ches. They're trying different formations to showcase younger players. Building toward the real battles is the strategy.

Was AC Milan "better" than Madrid in preseason? Who cares? Lacks significance. We'll watch how both teams perform under pressure and for trophies. Real play begins then. The UEFA Super Cup vs Atalanta will reveal Real Madrid's true nature. There, champions are made.

Most coaches experiment with their squad during pre-season and friendly matches. And gave opportunities to young players in the squad. So the performance of most of the teams in the pre-season matches is erratic. Real Madrid have given opportunities to Mbappe, Vini, ROdrygo and Bellingham in their friendlies. So naturally we have seen erratic performances from Real Madrid. And Real Madrid lost most of the matches. However, Madrid's performance is likely to remain strong next season.

But I am satisfied with AC Milan's performance. This team is performing very well. AC Milan's overall performance in particular has improved considerably. Milan changed their match strategy. In the friendly matches, we have seen mixed performances from the Milan players. I wouldn't be surprised if this team fights for the Serie A title next season.
If a match is held between AC Milan and Real Madrid, then Real Madrid will field players from the bench to show their strength, while AC Milan will consider Real Madrid as a big opponent and enter the field with their strong XI. Hence, such matches usually see relatively weaker teams winning against stronger opponents. 

However, AC Milan's win over Real Madrid certainly gave them a boost of confidence that will come in handy when they start playing in the main stage. Seeing Real Madrid performing poorly in the pre-season matches, there is no reason to think that this team might not be able to do well next season. Be patient and wait for the season to start, surely Real Madrid's performance will make you happy.

Change of game of Sri Lankan team It really made the audience very happy with their bowling performance in ODI matches which was excellent. Sri Lanka beat India in the second ODI and lead the series. India lost all their wickets to meet the target of 240 runs, and Sri Lanka won by 32 runs. However, although every batsman of the Indian team could not bat well, the team lost very quickly due to the fall of their wickets. The Sri Lankan team's bowling performance was outstanding Jeffrey Vandersay he got 6 wickets, Charith Asalanka he got 3 wickets, both of them dominated the game for Sri Lanka. But Indian batsmen only Rohit Sharma and Axar Patel batted a bit better, all the other batsmen could score more runs. If every batsman of the Indian team could have batted well then there was definitely a chance to win, but the Indian batsmen could not stand up to the bowling of the Sri Lankan team due to which they lost.
I think Sri Lanka could not bring much change in their performance rather India performed very badly that's why Sri Lanka's performance is highlighted. If you notice, you will see that the runs that India managed to score in one innings in the T20 series, the batsmen of Team India failed to score in the second T20 match in the ODI series. I would have agreed with you if Sri Lanka could have set a big target but they were stuck in limited runs and India failed to win chasing that easy target. We did not notice a good performance from India in the first ODI match even though they managed to draw that match now Indian fans and Indian cricketers have to look forward to the third and final ODI match. If the third ODI match is a draw or India lose for any reason then they will lose the series so the third ODI match must be taken seriously.

AC Milan appeared quite impressive in their friendly matches this season because in the two matches they played they managed to win.
To be able to beat Real Madrid is certainly not an easy matter because the number one team in Laliga has quite strong strength with many quality players at their disposal, but this can be conquered by the neat play implemented by Paulo Fonseca.
The match against Manchester City was also the same where Colombo et al managed to turn things around and managed to win the match. In the next match, Fonseca's team will face Barcelona and I hope that AC Milan can also come out as winners in the friendly match which will be held M&T stadium.
AC Milan won against two of the strongest teams in Europe and their result certainly surprised us. Although these two matches were warm-up matches, neither team went into the field planning to lose. Naturally, when Real Madrid and Manchester City took on AC Milan, they came out with a plan to win. 
Despite coming into the field with a plan to win, they did not do well in the competition with AC Milan, as a result of which they were defeated. They looked more aggressive against Manchester City than they did against Real Madrid. However, against Manchester City, they scored three goals but conceded two goals. 

In the match they played against Manchester City, they were seen in a rush to score which led to them not paying much attention to the defense which resulted in them conceding two goals. 

They beat Real Madrid and they beat Manchester City which will surely give them confidence in the main stage match. If they can perform like this in the main stage matches, then nothing is impossible to win the Italian league.

It seems that Bayern Munich did not make a mistake in choosing Kompany as their coach because it could also be a turning point for Bayern Munich in dominating the Bundesliga next season, because last season they were left behind because of a stronger rival. And if Kompany succeeds in bringing Bayern Munich to be champions next season, I think there will be many people who want to praise him like what happened to Xabi Alonso last season. Because Kompany has a difficult task at Bayern Munich even though the Bayern Munich players are very good players and also have enough experience.
We’re yet to see the impressive good work of Vincent Kompany in Bayern Munich. He needs time to lay things down and go completely for the big games. He has priorities to meet up and expectations from the team’s supporters are extremely high, either ways he has to keep the club in good looking shape. Bayern Munich will cope with the new pattern from Vincent Kompany and the players will swiftly fit in and some will not, probably take time.
A new manager has taken charge of a big team so he needs some time to implement his strategy well though the season has not started yet and when the main phase matches start we will know what strategy he has adopted for the team and how well his strategy is working. When a new manager takes charge of Bayern Munich, everyone questions his ability to run the club and it is natural to do so because the current manager's ability to run the club is not much better than the one that Bayern Munich let go.

Profits are made in the transfer window especially from SPL influential men. The top investors in Saudi Arabia will not relent, they will ensure they table the best offers for European players. Growth is the main target for these clubs because they've fought with everything and targeting big winning. Saudi Pro League is a tough one to predicts, it's been really a hectic day for most of these SPL clubs.
The government in that country also seems to be helping to advance the world of football there. So it is not surprising that clubs that are under PIF ownership continue to buy players from Europe which could make the SPL more attractive to the world of world football. And I like that move. Because with this SPL is now becoming increasingly popular. And not only that, I also see increased competition and the strength of all SPL clubs has increased drastically. In the past, the trigger might have been when Cristiano Ronaldo arrived. But now we have seen more European star players here. Even 2 players who won the Ballon D'or are also here. Namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.
They first came into the limelight when they bought Cristiano Ronaldo and since then people have started learning about the league in a new way. But then we saw that only European senior players signed contracts with various clubs in the Saudi League but recently it appears that all age players are interested in playing in this league. There are players who have spent entire seasons on the bench for various European clubs, but if they decide to come to Saudi Arabia, they get the opportunity to play in the regular XI as well as receive a large annual salary, so this is an opportunity that no player wants to miss out on. 

The Saudi crown prince has taken a number of steps since taking over as king and is slowly implementing those steps. It is mainly because of him that the popularity of Saudi League has increased so much and its popularity will increase in the future.

There was no result of this match and no team could win this match. West Indies team made 397 runs in first inning  and after that we saw batting of SA team and SA team played very well and made more runs as comparison to WC - XI team. SA team made 408 runs and after that they declare . There were two players from WI team wio made centuries for the team .  Jeremy made  111 runs in 211 balls and he hit 16 fours and 1 six. Shamar made 131 runs in 212 balls  and Bishop   made half century for the team . Match was draw due to rain and both teams got equal points. SA team could win this match and they were ahead in many things and they were doing well.That match has no importance but it will give confidence to the team but we didn't see any result due to rain.
Exactly the South Africa has the chances to win this test match. But due to rain there is no result of this match and match has drawn. South Africa was good and they were playing well and the have the ability to win this match but unfortunately there is no result. And West Indies was not good in batting and bowling both. Because we already have seen them in the series of England Vs West Indies. West Indies still need much practice because their players don't have the consistency in the test cricket.
South Africa declared the innings with 400 plus runs in the first innings, on the other hand, West Indies were all out for 397 in their first innings and once again invited the West Indies to bat. So in the second innings it was clear that West Indies could not have reached a level that would have resulted in a very low target for South Africa but that was not the case due to rain and the result of this match remained undecided. But considering the first innings, I would say that South Africa did much better in the first innings compared to West Indies' two innings.

Team India drew against Sri Lanka in the first ODI but expectations were high that Team India would win the second match and I was in favor of Team India winning but Team India disappointed in the second ODI too. It cannot be said that Sri Lanka scored too many runs in the first innings as they failed to score 250 plus runs. Team India got all out by 208 runs where the target was 241 runs. I feel that the ODI series team is stronger than the T20 team, so they had more chances to win this ODI series, but I don't understand why they are not able to win. They have nothing to gain in this series only by winning the third ODI match they can level this series. Now let's see if they can take the third ODI match in their favour. I would expect India to win the toss and bat first.

After more than one century, we are going to have cricket back into Olympics 2028 Los Angeles it's surely one of the best news for the all cricketing fans specially Indian fans are more excited about this because this was long time demand, but things were not going favourable but after the successful hosting of T20i world cup in the USA now we have good news about this.

Now here we also need to be had few things about this which will surely bring better results and this game is now going to be had more recognition from the many countries those were not familiar specially South America's biggest market also need to be had their part in this game because this will bring good review and good number of fans for the game, it's going to be new era for this game.

Including cricket in Olympics is a welcome move, but this could have been done at least two decades back. And even now the ICC is putting a lot of roadblocks on the plan. They want a 6-team tournament (can you believe the audacity?) and no qualifying tournament. I am not sure whether the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will even agree to these insane demands. Fans are pressurizing the ICC to get cricket included in the Olympics, but the administrators themselves doesn't have much interest.
Yes it should have been done long ago but ICC never wanted cricket to be included in Olympics because they tried to organize big tournaments with big teams in that short span. They have always done it in such a way that they will benefit financially by making the match schedule. It has become a familiar phenomenon for us now that India and Pakistan will have multiple matches in their schedule in the same tournament. When other teams play in major tournaments such as the World Cup, the number of matches for the major teams will decrease, resulting in the broadcasting companies paying less than before to the ICC for broadcasting the games, but this is a financial loss for the ICC. However, some financial losses must be accepted by the ICC, otherwise the beauty of cricket will not increase, but its popularity will gradually decrease.

Next season I don't see any team in the Bundesliga that could be a tough opponent for Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich should go into the field with extra confidence that they feel they are the strongest team in the German league and that they have the ability to beat every team. If they find a team difficult then they will make the mistake of playing too cautiously against that team which will result in them losing points. As other teams start to compete alongside the familiar teams in the German league, no points can be lost to Bayern Munich. You have to plan with the team that is the opponent in the first match and after the first match, you have to plan with the team that will play the second match. If proper planning and consistent performance can be done by Bayern Munich then I am sure they will win the Bundesliga title next season.
And what about Bayer? Bayer will play this season as champions, so I think Alonso will try to do everything to prevent Bayern from becoming champions. I don’t expect the same from Dortmund and Leipzig, because they are often not very stable, and Stuttgart sold some of their first-team players, so I think it will be difficult for them to repeat the same result again. The result will largely depend on Kompany, and we know that he is still a coach without much experience, so I admit that Alonso can repeat what he did last season.
Bayer Leverkusen were undefeated in the German league last season and topped the points table with the highest number of points and they qualified for next season's Champions League so we have no doubts about their achievements last season. But seeing that they have performed well in the last season, it is wrong to think that they will perform well in the next season as well. All of a sudden they started performing well last season so the big teams didn't get a chance to plan early on this team. But at the end of a season when strong teams have planned hard on this team, it goes without saying that it will be difficult for this team to have such a consistent performance in the next season. 

Bayer Leverkusen will definitely be favorites but Bayer Leverkusen will be a tough opponent for Bayer Leverkusen. Competition is always expected to be tough.

Low income earners who do barely have enough to feed exist but in such situation, investing in Bitcoin is the last thing they should worry about because they need money to invest in Bitcoin. If they use the money they are supposed to use for feeding and invest in Bitcoin, it is a matter of days or week before they sell the Bitcoin because food is a basic necessity unless they have decided that they will die of hunger instead of selling their Bitcoin so that when they die someone else will sell the Bitcoin or it becomes lost coins.

To invest in Bitcoin and be able to HODL it, the investor must first of all set up the money for their basic needs which cover food, shelter, medical and others. After then the investor have to protect the investment by setting up emergency funds that will take care of things that fall outside the basic needs which can come up unplanned. It is after this two set of funds are in place that there will be some level of confidence that the investor can invest in Bitcoin and HODL without the pressure to sell.
Your right. Some persons shouldn't worry about starting an investment until they are capable of sustaining it. There are thins that are criteria to secure an investment ongoing on. One is to have enough to take care of monthly needs, if we have a family then the family first before thinking of investing. Expenses as rent, tuition fees, and emergencies fund should be met first before proceeding with the investment. When i hear people using money that was meant for this important life needs to invest in Bitcoin i feel sorry because it doesn't take them long they sell off the investment in the short term with little profit. As an investor i think it is good we ask our self what is the vision we have for our investment, if we are in for short or long term because a successful Bitcoin investment is determined by the level of discipline, consistency and sustainability of effort an investor put into it in the long term.
If the family is totally dependent on my income then we can think of investing with the remaining amount of money after meeting the needs of the family first. No one will advise you to invest without family. However, if properly planned, one can fulfill one's dream by investing in one's own investment, even if one earns relatively less money but meets the needs of the family. In order to invest, the investor must first be interested enough in his investment and give a lot of importance to the matter. When the matter is given a lot of importance by the investors, they will be able to maintain the continuity of investment consistently. 

Those who dream that Bitcoin will one day cross $100k are trying to invest in a long-term plan anyway. If they keep on trying like this then in time they will definitely succeed and the expectations they have invested in will be fulfilled.

When Neymar first arrived at Barcelona, we could only guess that the Brazilian superstar would single-handedly break all the records of all previous players. He was injury free during his time at Barcelona and had a brilliant career but when he left Barcelona to join PSG for money, his career began to suffer. If he had focused on his career instead of giving priority to money at that time, he might have had many achievements to his name today. Won only one Champions League trophy that too while at Barcelona. PSG bought him from Barcelona for a record transfer fee, but he never played a full season there as he suffered serious injuries early or midway through each season and was sidelined for the entire season.  .
Although PSG accepted him for a long time, after Luis Enrique took charge of PSG, he did not accept Neymar at all and sold Neymar to Saudi club Al Hilal. Al Hilal are suffering from the same problem of signing Neymar to their club i.e. there is also Neymar's injury.

Neymar is a good player, and his problem at PSG was only that he had a very large salary and for PSG over time this became a problem that they wanted to get rid of. There were also some moments with discipline, there were no big conflicts, but PSG wanted to get rid of Neymar, and Al Hilal helped them with this.

The fact that he received such a serious injury is not his fault, I think everyone understands this, and his contract expires soon, they doubt that it will be extended. Neymar said that in 2025, when his contract ends, he will return to Santos, probably there he plans to finish his career.
The club signed him on the understanding that his annual salary was too high and it was never a big deal for PSG but it was a big deal for PSG that the French club never got him on the field for a full season despite his annual salary. This is basically why psg decided to sell this player and they sold neymar immediately. According to the way Saudi League clubs have spent money on players in the past seasons, Neymar's value is not high at all, but I would not say that the club that bought him has gained much. The club picked him up and he played the whole season as a key player in the team but in the early part of the season he suffered a serious injury which ruled him out for the whole season. Although Al Hilal has given him one more season, if he gets injured this season too and is out of action for the entire season, Al Hilal will undoubtedly sell this player next season.

SriLanka vs India Second ODI Match

So today is the second match of the series which is going on between SriLanka and India. If we talk about the prediction so last match made it very difficult to predict that which team can win today match because SriLankan team make a good comeback after losing the T20I series with 3-0. But they gave a very tough time to Indian team in the last match. So they showed that they have ability to face Indian team. And I think in today match they will again suprise us. So I am expecting an interesting match again. On both sides bowling line is looking more strong as compare to batting line. So let's see what they will do in today match.
The first match of the three match ODI series was a draw so the second match is very important for both the teams. If India wins one of these two matches and Sri Lanka wins the second match then this series will be a draw and it will definitely be a big achievement for Sri Lanka. In the first ODI we saw India's obvious batting weakness and where they needed one run they failed to score and the match was drawn. 

The Indian bowlers are still fully trusted so the batsmen must take the second ODI match with responsibility. If team India have trouble batting in the second innings then they will have to win the toss and bat first and if they can score 300 plus runs in the first innings then they will have a great chance of winning against Sri Lanka. I put India ahead in the first ODI match but India failed to win that match, so I will put India ahead in the second ODI match as well.
