How possibilities giving good support behind Barcelona still can't solve yet their financial problem? not really expected for next season under Hansi Flick although he most success manager and get much experienced will make Barcelona get a lot of improvement their performance. Sign many qualities players needed much money and Barcelona recently not announce yet with new players signing although Hansi Flick appointed more than last three weeks ago.
There is no other choice but to just use the strategy used by the previous coach if Flick can implement this strategy to maintain Barcelona performance so as not to get bad results below the top 3 at the end of the next season.
Barcelona has always been linked with several players and rumors have even spread that Hansi Flick will be given the freedom to bring in players at a cheaper cost, isn't that very impossible?
And currently the reason Barcelona has not tried to provide news regarding new players, is all because maybe Hansi Flick will be more careful in bringing in new players after his reliability is highly doubted most Barcelona fans.

Quote
Need long time if Barcelona depend only with your players promote from academy, its difficult under huge pressure for good achieving in domestic league and Champion League but must giving more minutes playing for them. I think Barcelona achievement for next season not really difference yet with this season just finish on second place standing in domestic league and reach quarter final round in Champion League.
But it's the best. I mean, all big teams have experienced things like this in the past and Barcelona must also be ready to face this kind of pressure to develop the talents of young players from academics so that they can get big contributions in the future like Lamine Yamal who might be one of the academic players who is expected to success with Barcelona.
It all depends on how reliable the coach is in developing the talents of these young players and Barcelona doesn't need to focus too much on pursuing the UCL title but just prioritize positions in La Liga and UCL matches just to give experience to these young players so that they have a great mentality and ready to face any situation.

At the beginning of the year, betting sites will give lower odds because they will believe in Leverkusen's championship more than last year.
Yep, bookmakers will be stoked Leverkusen success after winning the title in the bundesliga and as long as there are no major changes to the main players, Leverkusen will remain the favorite team with lower odds than other team.
And on the one hand, when Leverkusen gets lower odds than Bayern Munich, because the bookmakers will also consider the new, inexperienced coach currently serving as coach in Munich.

Quote
I think Bayern is the biggest favorite for the championship this year, but the transfers of the players will allow us to talk more clearly.
If next season Leverkusen will be the first favorite team and Bayern Munich will be the second favorite team, I will choose to bet on Bayern Munich as the title holder in the next season.
Kompany may not be very experienced but seeing Leverkusen busy schedule in competing in the UCL, makes me confident that Bayern Munich will lead the bundesliga again and I think this reason is quite reasonable because mentally Leverkusen doesn't have much experience in the UCL and will definitely defend the bundesliga title and chasing the UCL title will be a pressure for Xabi.

Regarding the transfer of new players, it seems that Kompany will not make any major changes, he will only bring in new players in the defense line and this will not be a big problem.

Antonio Conte also seems to really want Lukaku more than Osimhen. Maybe it's not because Lukaku is better than Osimhen. It's just that Osimhen doesn't seem comfortable at Napoli anymore.
Reason Osimhen was uncomfortable in Napoli only at that time when the president of Napoli often replaced the coach made Osimhen feel that adaptation to every new coach made him very bored.
But after the arrival of Conte coach, I am sure Osimhen will return comfortable because he also needs experienced coaches like in the Spalletti era who can develop his career with Napoli as the most scorer.
And for Lukaku, I will not agree if Osimhen position is replaced by Lukaku and the reason is quite simple if Lukaku is only a big body striker but in terms of expertise, I believe Osimhen more.


Source : https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-osimhen/profil/spieler/401923

Osimhen got 15 scores from 25 matches while Lukaku only got 13 scores from 32 matches and from here the difference was quite clear.

You are speaking facts and if Chelsea does not resolve this issue on time, we may watch a failed and struggling Chelsea for years to come from now. They have made a lot of signings despite the large number of their players playing as loan players in other clubs and still nothing is working out for them. Sometimes I fell they need to sign young players and maybe they may have a long time strong squad like the time of Lampard, Drogba and Terry. If the big players are not willing to effect the change needed by the club, they should try young players too. Chelsea has the funds and getting young players for long time contract shouldn’t be an issue for a club like Chelsea.

Well that's the problem, the Chelsea owner does not give the coach the opportunity to build a squad in the long term and they want to see instant results even though they must be able to take examples from the last 2 seasons and at the same time prove that money does not guarantee a team's success. If Chelsea want to build a young squad then they have to give the coach more time at least 3-5 years as happened with Arsenal and Liverpool, as we know Arsenal's performance continues to improve from season to season and I think this season is the time for Arsenal.
That's the strongest reason why Todd Boehly is currently a hot topic of conversation and some parties are actually blaming the Chelsea owner because it actually doesn't make sense when Pochettino managed to provide an improvement in Chelsea final results which finished in sixth position, whereas previously they only finished in 12th position.
Just imagine when a coach who succeeded in bringing his team to get maximum results but was fired for unreasonable reasons, wouldn't that be a big mistake?
Returning to the principle of Todd Boehly who is very ambitious to get big results in a short time and for the Chelsea owner, copying the results that Arsenal got would only be a waste of time so he will not do the same thing and continue to look for a new coach before Chelsea gets the results impressive next season.

Well he has no option because as it stands now Real Madrid team is filled with competition and the even player isn't up with his game then the bench is probably where he is gonna end up.
IMO, this is not about competition but the regeneration of players in a big team like Madrid is really needed considering that the competition in the UCL will be tougher because the addition of participants provides a tight match schedule and Ancelotti just chose to get an alternative to replace Joselu with Endrick.
Ancelotti recruitment of new players is actually for the future of Madrid, to maintain the quality of the team's performance and bringing in young players is the best way as a long term investment in the future.

It is very likely that Endrick, the wonderkid, will replace Joselu role as Ancelotti second tier player and Endrick will appear more often in La Liga when Mbappe match schedule becomes busier.
Madrid is serious about bringing in Endrick as a replacement for Joselu, Madrid is willing to spend €60 million for the young player.

Quote
Mbappe arrivals has caused so much hype for this Madrid team and the worse part is that their is not even 100% guarantee that he is gonna perform well because the game of football sometimes can be filled with suprises.
Indeed, no one can provide any guarantees, but at least Mbappe achievements and skills will not leave fans in doubt.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Soldiers using gambling to cope with stress. on: June 25, 2024, 01:49:43 AM
Now, do you think soldiers who have left home for a long time and are going through boredom should be restricted from engaging in gambling which helps reduce their stress? If gambling does not have any effect on their performance on the waterfront and they gamble responsibly, do you think there should be restrictions?
If this refers to a situation to eliminate boredom, I agree if the limit is removed.
But for me a gambler (all gamblers) sometimes they are good at hiding something bad from the public like when someone is addicted to gambling has a lot of debt and when he is asked are you okay? He will definitely say "Yes I'm fine"
Whereas a friend or family believes if there is no impact whatsoever from gambling, but after going on for too long eventually everyone will hear that the gambler has a lot of big debts and is addicted to gambling.

This is the reason why state authorities may restrict soldiers from gambling, because something bad can be hidden without other people knowing, such as bad effects (gambling addiction) can be hidden without anyone knowing.
If it's just about relieving stress, I think playing video games is enough to relieve stress.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling/betting shops vs Investment banks - Do you believe this guy's opinion? on: June 25, 2024, 01:33:05 AM
What do you guys think about this?
IMO, he only refers to (a way of making money) and according to him gambling is one way of making money, without realizing that gambling is just a place for someone who wants to find entertainment with a little money and if they are lucky, it is a little bonus from the fun we have pay.
But I like the quote, because it make some gamblers aware that they may be addicted because they are triggered by the desire to earn large amounts of money from gambling and this quote from Erigga can give a slap to gambling addicts who only think about earning money from gambling.

And back again to each individual's thoughts because betting shops and investment banks actually have different meanings but sometimes someone interprets both as the same as making money, but not for me.

Monaco will be very busy next season because they will playing at Champion League and finally after 5 years absense they will playing at this competition again and looking forward to see their performance next season whether Monaco can managed their consistency or not because unlike previous season which they only playing at Ligue 1 and next season Monaco have to playing with several different competitions which is not easy for them
As long as Monaco doesn't sell its important players who performed very consistently last season, I think Monaco can compete in the UCL, but one thing I doubt is that Monaco will definitely have difficulty maintaining consistency in League 1 matches.
Reason is quite easy if the next season's UCL is a hot topic of discussion when the addition of UCL participants means that all the players appearing in the competition must be ready to face more opponents and Monaco must get more reserve players to be able to rotate players perfectly and maintain consistent performance all Monaco players.
If they fail to maintain consistency and fail in the UCL, Monaco will probably return to focusing on League 1 and give up the UCL title because competing in the UCL is very difficult and requires a lot of experience.

Quote
About their performance in Ligue 1 i thought Monaco can being an strong contender for PSG for race title because at the beginning of season Monaco performing well they even can occupy first place several times but unfortunately consistency is still their main problem because Monaco has been slipped and lost several times which makes them only able to occupy runner up place at the end of this season and for transfer players i have to says the news about them is still lack because i couldn't find any information who is their target player for this summer but first of all Monaco should be give Wissam Ben Yedder contract extension because he is Monaco top scorer this season so he deserved to gets new contract and besides that i think Monaco should be buy new attacking players because front lines is one of their weaknesses of this season
And in the coming season it will be a big opportunity for Monaco if they choose to focus on league 1 matches and give up the UCL title, Monaco will easily get the league 1 title beating PSG and this opportunity comes when PSG no longer has a mainstay player after Mbappe left , there are lots of small teams that will try to take the title from PSG and I hope that Monaco no longer needs to think about the UCL title because that is very impossible and prioritize getting the league 1 title and leading until the end of the season.
And regarding Wissam Ben Yedder, it seems that Monaco has so far not made any effort to retain this player and for some reason this will be a little worrying because he is one of the players that Monaco can really rely on or maybe Monaco has a new player that is being targeted to replace his position.

Another problem arose when Paris Saint Germain had 3 star players on the front line, and instead of being able to improve the team's performance they were busy with their own problems. In my opinion, this also happened because perhaps their coach at that time was unable to build good relationships between the players, which resulted in a conflict that could be said to have been prolonged until finally the 3 players actually left Paris Saint Germain.
IMO, at that time PSG seemed to have an instant desire and it happened very briefly when they brought in star players in succession but didn't pay attention to the coaches they brought in at that time and on the one hand, for me the composition of PSG players was very irregular so even though they had players star but the performance is still the same as having only 1 star player.
The conflict is actually just a matter of player composition as I said before and it's not perfect, using star players but not being able to rotate players well, which creates problems that the players may not reveal.

Quote
Another fact, as you said, is that they also couldn't do much in the Champions League. They are the same as clubs that we have often seen before, where they cannot compete closely, especially when they face clubs that have the same strength as them. In the end they had to taste failure even though they had a star-studded squad in the composition of players.
Paris Saint Grmain must be able to get rid of that habit, because in my opinion they are also capable of competing even without star players, as long as their squad is even and they can work as a team well.
Well, from this discussion we know that competing for the UCL title must have high quality performance and quality performance cannot be built instantly, whereas the PSG president wants it instantly by bringing in star players but the coach is not very good at managing the players well.
So that these star players will continue to leave PSG who cannot accept the long process of being able to create high quality performance and now PSG is just realizing that building a strong team to compete in all existing competitions, all of this takes a very long time and requires very high consistency.

Yes, I thought Real Madrid would be unstable without Benzema.
Wait a minute, do you really remember the 2022/2023 season when Madrid competed with Man City in the semi finals and at that time Madrid was still appearing with Benzema? Do you remember that the results looked more stable?
What I say refers to Madrid performance when competing in the UCL, but look at the same season Madrid failed to win the La Liga title and for me that is not a stable result.
The stability of a team's performance cannot be seen from just one player, but it is about teamwork and failure can definitely be experienced by any team when it has a little problem.

Quote
Real Madrid is too good for the money spent to get Joselu.
If you think Madrid is not worth spending money to get Joselu, then what would you say about Joselu scoring the winning 2 scores in the semi final against Bayern Munich? Is that something that is not very good?
I may have a different opinion to you but I respect your opinion because everyone has different thoughts and on the contrary, I support Madrid if they want to make Josule permanent and make him a very reliable reserve player.

Quote
The most notable is player Bellingham, he has integrated into the team quickly, being used as a flexible virtual number 9 player. But next season I don't think Bellingham will continue to play that role. Of course, Mbappé will be the real number 9. And Bellingham is the next midfielder to wear the number 5 shirt at Madrid. Just like the legendary Zinedine Zidane showed before.
We must remember again that all Madrid players have quality talent and all Madrid players also play an important role in scoring scores and this is a Madrid team that does not have any selfishness and always gives opportunities to any player when they have the opportunity to score, this must be done without have to rely on anyone.
Madrid needs the contribution of all players to continue to win and what Madrid wants is not who scores the biggest score, but what Madrid wants is strong cooperation.

Seeing that the points between these two teams are not that far apart, Manchester City, which was in the bottom position, was finally able to take the lead and win the title in the Premier League. The chances for Manchester City are still the same, they still have a big chance of winning the title or winning the Premier League again next season. However, Arsenal's competition, which is quite good, is a threat to Manchester City because the difference in points they previously had was not too far, so there is a possibility that Arsenal can win the Premier League next season, but I myself don't think Arsenal can win next season.
It is difficult to predict how the two Arsenal and Man City teams will fare in the next season because at the moment there is no recent news on Arsenal recruitment of the best new players and for the time being we can only speculate if I fully support your opinion if Arsenal will eventually also difficulty competing with Man City and for the same reason as I often say here that Arsenal is not yet ready to become the leader of the EPL.
On the one hand, we have to see that Man City is still the same as last season, there are no changes whatsoever in the attack line which will be better prepared to compete with other EPL teams and even Arsenal will not pose a big challenge for Man City because Man City has much more experience.
But it doesn't rule out the possibility that this could all happen because the opportunity is still wide open for Arsenal as long as they can learn from previous mistakes.

Quote
These two teams will of course compete fiercely and of course Arsenal will not allow Manchester City to continue winning the Premier League, of course they have the ambition to win and break defending champion Manchester City, because it is true that Arteta can keep Arsenal in second place for two seasons and with that This indicates that Arsenal has a chance to win next season, although in my opinion it is difficult to beat Manchester City.
We don't have to just focus on these two teams but we have to look at other teams like Man United which could also most likely be Man City strongest challenger even though currently he is still with Ten Hag but I see that Man United mainstay coach has plans to make big changes because this team is being linked with reliable players from other leagues and this could be a sign that the Red Devils could be a team that will try to win the EPL title.
Like last season, there were several teams that topped the standings, such as Spurs, Aston Villa and Liverpool, which will happen again in the following season, but the only difference is that Liverpool may no longer be able to compete with Arsenal and Man City because Klopp departure has given the team a little doubt.

Yes, as one of the best players in the world, Mbappe will definitely adapt easily to Real Madrid and of course now the Real Madrid squad is complete. Of course Joselu has been great all this time and indeed he cannot be compared to Benzema but of course he has done extraordinary things. Yes, Ancelotti will definitely have the potential to put Mbappe in Joselu's place, but of course we'll see in the coming season, but what is certain is that Ancelotti will make the best syrategy.
Even though many people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics,
Whoever says Ancelotti tactics are bad, tell whoever it is about the results Madrid achieved last season and we will see how Ancelotti really understands the right tactics or strategy to continue fighting in the UCL and even in La Liga.
Let's see again how Ancelotti had to rotate players when facing Bayern Munich, Joselu came on in the second half to get 2 winning scores and that was one of the tactics given by Ancelotti.
I just wonder why anyone still doubts Ancelotti. Undecided

Quote
Madrid will not lack good players so they will easily rotate players without having to use second layer players whose performance may be below average but Madrid has many players in the second layer who may also have better abilities than the team other.
No, Madrid still needs second string players and it is really necessary to rotate players when they have to divide the match schedule in La Liga and in the UCL.
Any strongest team will still need second string players to maintain the physical and fitness of the main players so they don't experience fatigue or get injury problems and you will also remember that as the semi finals approached, Ancelotti often used second string players when competing in La Liga even though he had have Mbappe but second tier players are very important for Ancelotti.

Quote
Ancelotti will probably put Mbappe on the front line as a striker and Ancelotti also knows how to put Joselu and Mbappe there
More precisely, Mbappe will be the main player and Joselu will be the reserve player.
So Ancelotti has many options and doesn't need to worry about this because he has many ways to ensure that the quality of Madrid performance remains stable.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 23, 2024, 09:46:12 PM
Barcelona's current situation is really on the edge, because they have problems that are very difficult to solve easily. What you say is correct, even though they are currently experiencing serious problems, they are still able to be in second place in La Liga and that shows that they still have strong performance. with these limited players, I think Flick must continue to hone the players he has, even though his players have not shown extraordinary performance, there is no other way if he cannot recruit new players, he must be able to make the existing players the best in Barcelona at the moment. although I think it is unlikely that they can compete well against Real Madrid, but that is normal because they are not doing well at the moment.
Isn't that all thanks to Xavi contribution? then what will be the fate of Barcelona in the following season while the only coach who really understands the depth of Barcelona is Xavi.
I always admit that Xavi will continue to give his best for his team but after he left, I didn't expect anything from Barcelona performance and just wanted to see this team in the runner up position even though it wasn't competing with Madrid but finishing in the runner up position would be better than below the top 5.
Recruiting new players I'm sure Flick can do it, but I think managing Barcelona players might be a bit difficult for the new coach as the competition in La Liga becomes stronger.

Quote
Flick will definitely do his best for his team so they can compete well next season. no one knows what will happen next season, maybe Flick can make Barcelona strong even with the minimum number of players, but to dominate La Liga I'm not sure. but what Flick has to do is he can make Barcelona return to its glory days even though it is difficult.
For now I am sure that will not happen and is very impossible.
Anyone who still believes Barcelona will return to its glory days, I'm sure they are big fans of this team but for me, I really doubt if Flick can make big achievements just with free players or only existing players.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 23, 2024, 03:29:19 PM
Without Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe , other players may flourish.
All of this is done because there is no other choice but to only bring in new players who may only have ordinary talent without being able to bring in professional players and if you have the opportunity to bring in star players, you will definitely do it.
It is time for PSG to stop spending large amounts of money and must focus on building PSG appearance without relying on any players and this is a new experience for PSG so that they can try to achieve achievements with the squad they have.
Bringing in young players and developing new talents is a very simple way to get professional players from team efforts that have developed the talents of these young players.

Next season will be the toughest season for Enrique who has to bring PSG to compete strongly without mainstay players in several competitions and hopes that Enrique can produce very good results even without a UCL title but being able to compete in the UCL until the semi finals like yesterday is good enough to provide a sign that Enrique is worth keeping.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 23, 2024, 03:23:07 PM
There is no evidence yet so it is natural that many people doubt Kompany, but Alonso has proven it last season so I am sure that next season Alonso will be able to make Leverkusen better than what he gave last season.
But sorry, guys, that doesn't mean I will discourage you from believing in Xabi and Leverkusen, but we have to look a little deeper into the situation that Leverkusen will face in the next season, who will appear in the UCL and the match schedule will be busier considering that there are additional participants in the UCL which made Leverkusen have to use more energy.
On the one hand, Xabi has no experience in the UCL during his time as coach, even though he can perform very impressively in the European Leagues, but the problem is that the competition in the UCL is very different and there are more experienced big teams that Leverkusen has to face.
Rotating Leverkusen players to remain consistent in several competitions will be a very tough challenge and I am sure that in the Bundesliga Leverkusen will experience a slight decline in performance and will not be the same as last season.

Quote
For Kompany, currently many people are looking forward to his work, there is only speculation that Kompany can make Bayern better next season, but what must also be remembered is that during Kompany's coaching career, none of them have been successful, so I think next season Bayern will make Kompany the coach. is a big gamble.
TBH, I actually slightly disagree with Kompany arrival because I also doubt the coach's achievements, but after I said the facts I said before, I thought that Kompany had the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity given by Leverkusen who will appear in the UCL and Kompany could making it easier for Munich to win the Bundesliga title again.
Let's give Kompany a chance to prove he can improve Munich.

The team is Real Madrid, dude. They have a lot of experienced players and a lot of young, talented players. They're always looking for more prizes. So what now that Mbappe is in the mix? Remove it from your mind. I'm really scared by their attack. You can already taste the excitement among the fans as they wait for another Champions League win
One of the reasons why people keep discussing Madrid lately and even most of the bettors in this betting section are very confident that Madrid will be the strongest candidate team in the UCL after the arrival of Mbappe who will be a scoring machine.
But some people also think that this is an exaggeration because there is always a surprise behind the many teams competing in the UCL and I as a Madrid fan will accept that statement because I admit that maybe we are all exaggerating because previously Madrid was already a big team in the UCL only Mbappe arrival alone provides sharper strength in the attack line.
And I will also remind anyone, even though it is an exaggeration, it is a fact and anyone who doubts Madrid, at the end of the season it will be repaid with the UCL title they will get.

Quote
Whatever you want can happen in football. Bayern Munich is always a threat, Manchester City still has a lot of punch, and even teams like Dortmund or Inter could surprise us. However, I would still bet my hard-earned cash on Real Madrid if I had to choose among the teams playing right now. They're amazing. What about Mbappe? That is simply not possible
Of the several teams that will be the strongest challenge for Madrid, only Man City and only Guardiola team are able to put a little pressure on Madrid and it is always a tense match when these two teams compete on the field.

However Arsenal already has Trossard and Martinelli. Nico Williams should definitely be used on the left to get more efficiency. I wonder what kind of changes Arteta will make in case of signing him. Maybe he might try Nico on the right anyway to compare and then decide.
My prediction is that this transfer will not happen.
Let's pay attention slowly, if this transfer really happens, it will not be possible for Nico Williams to replace Saka position and on the one hand, as you said, if Arteta forces Nico Williams to be in the LW position, that will also not be possible because of Martinelli and Trossard much better and more experienced to compete in the EPL.
Arteta cannot possibly make a decision too quickly because since Arsenal have been getting closer to the EPL title for 2 seasons, Arteta will choose new players carefully and see what experience and skills the new players he will recruit later have.

Or maybe there is another option of making Nico Williams a second tier player and that would make more sense because Arteta really needs reliable players to be able to win the EPL title and I don't doubt Nico Williams even though he doesn't have experience in the EPL but I know how skilled he is in dribbling the ball and very agile.
Arsenal deserves to be associated with this player because Arsenal characteristic is always to choose young players to recruit as new players, but for me that won't happen.
And what I'm saying right now is just speculation because this season's break is still very long and a lot can still change.

Bayern Munich appointed Kompany as manager next season after receiving 3 rejections from their other target managers. In my opinion, the management and club officials were ready for all the risks when they decided to choose Kompany. Even though expectations for the former Burnley manager are relatively low, the fact is that Kompany has world class players in his squad, which should make his job easier. It is natural for Bayern Munich fans to feel anxious, because Kompany reputation has not really been tested before. I think Kompany is very aware of this, and Kompany certainly realizes that it will not be easy to rebuild Bayern Munich dominance which was broken by Leverkusen last season.
One thing we must understand from the worries of Munich fans, namely, although in the composition of Munich players currently have professional players like Kane and some other reliable players, will not guarantee anything and even Kompany has never had a good experience since becoming a coach except successful bring Burnley promoted to EPL.
Munich fans only thought realistically when they looked again at Tuchel who had a big experience than Kompany, but the fact was Tuchel failed to bring Munich to dominate the Bundesliga and even finished in the 3rd position last season.
With this, then what else can Kompany expect?

I do not doubt Bayern Munich but to be honest I doubt the future of Munich when choosing an inexperienced coach even though squad is currently filled with great players but will not guarantee anything if the coach fails to rotate the players and fail to give the right tactics, everything will appear more bad.

Mbappe at Real Madrid? Dynasty in the making. This is a generational talent, not just a good player. Unmatched speed, talent, and killing instinct characterise Mbappe. He's the missing piece that makes Real Madrid an absolute force.
Mbappe is a combination of Ronaldo and Benzema, his arrival makes us remember the past when Madrid was still with that star player and now we will see Mbappe playing an important role in the attack line who might be the successor to Benzema and Ronaldo who will achieve greater achievements because he is still very young who has very big ambitions to get achievements that can improve his reputation in the future.
So it is not surprising that his arrival to join Madrid made everyone speculate very highly and believe that Madrid would dominate.

Quote
Yes, Barcelona and Girona had moments last season. But lets not pretend they're on Real Madrid's level. These teams are still nursing their wounds and planning their next move. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is arranging their victory parade. We're more than UEFA champions - we're built for greatness. Mbappe makes us unstoppable.

I wont sugarcoat. Next season is ours to lose. Its not arrogance; its just cold, hard facts. Trust me, you'll want to be on the winning side.
Barcelona was threatened with being overthrown by Girona last season but Barcelona was still strong in competing with Girona because at that time Xavi was still Barcelona coach, but this season could be a bad season for Barcelona when the great coach was fired and a new coach was chosen who had no experience in La Liga.
On the one hand, Girona this season is targeting several very talented players from other teams, but Barcelona still has financial shortages and it is not yet clear who the new players they will recruit will be and if Barcelona will be unable to compete looking for better players, I doubt that Barcelona will can compete with other teams, they will even have difficulty competing with Girona.

I don't favor Girona but maybe other teams like ATM can also beat Barcelona if Hansi Flick is unable to provide the right strategy and tactics for the Barcelona players.

Newcastle has been taken over by Saudi Arabian investors and they are slowly starting to try to improve their squad for the better, the size of the budget plotted for player spending certainly indicates the big ambition of Newcastle United to be able to compete with Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool, so far the performance and player recruitment from Newcastle has been quite good but I think Newcastle need to bring in a coach who is really capable of handling the team the big team at the moment, I think Eddie has done a good job at Newcastle so far but it seems that he is not able enough to make Newcastle even better and compete with the big teams.
I admit that the team owner also has a big influence on the team's future, but what Newcastle has experienced so far is just difficulty maintaining consistency and as we can see now in the 2022/2023 season, Newcastle was able to finish in fourth position to get a ticket to the UCL.
But what did Newcastle get? only bad things happen and this is not anyone's fault but the mentality of the players is also an important role for the team to be ready to compete with top teams and in my opinion this is not only about the coach but also Newcastle needs players who have high quality talent to be able to help Newcastle to be able to compete with top teams.
And Newcastle still has a long way to go because this team has to make major changes to every line to get a strong performance.

On the one hand, currently Newcastle has made another mistake of finishing in seventh position after performing badly in one season and I have to admit again that this bad result is because many players were injured when last season had not yet ended.
Well, from here we can see what the current Newcastle owner has to do and the only option is to reshuffle the coaches and players, but have to spend even more money.
