Basically, Modric and Kroos will not be at Real Madrid for long, and I think they are also lucky enough to be there working together for one more season. Moreover, they have now brought in a center player who is believed to be projected to replace the position of these 2 senior players.

I think we will all agree that one of the positions they really need right now is a center forward who can be the difference in every match. It's difficult to find someone who can replace Benzema.

Now Mbappe is a player who has been heavily linked with them, and if the deal happens, it will fill their much talked about gap.
What is strong now is their midfield, the youngsters, seniors and new signings are a promising collaboration.
It is very clear that Real Madrid urgently need a centre-forward who can replace Benzema. Although Florentino Pérez stated that Real Madrid will not be buying any more players in the near future, I think it is true that Ancelotti really needs him for next season. Real Madrid will really struggle to win games without Benzema, so if they insist on playing without a good centre-forward then I don't think Real Madrid will win the title next season.

I agree that Mbappe is a centre-forward who can basically replace Benzema well at Real Madrid. His relationship with PSG soured after Mbappe rejected the offer of a contract extension and whatever PSG's approach, so I think that sooner or later Kylian Mbappe will move to Real Madrid.

You are free, and no one is against you changing your password because, as you indicated, it is for security reasons.
But what reason would that be that you resort to changing passwords? I mean, you can just tick the Always Logged In in your browser so you don't have to relog. I don't know of any reason that someone will hack your forum account even if it makes a lot of money from signature campaigns, you can always report that you're account's stolen.
You should know how to properly protect your account, and one way is by changing your password regularly and backup securely.
Storing your password online (eg at Google) is too risky for your security. It is not recommended for anyone concerned with security and privacy although you can login easily without bothering.

Imagine if you never backup your password, but you saved them in your browser, but suddenly you lost your device or it broke for something, how can you recover your account?

In reality fixing a nations economy is simple, it's not that hard, but people just don't want to do it. You need to cut down on the corruption, a lot less, probably zero if you could and then cut the taxes thanks to that, if you have no corruption then you do not need to do that much taxes. When all that tax is gone, everyone will have a lot more money and the nation will be richer and they will get to spend it and the economy will grow.

It's that simple, eradicate corruption and that means that you are going to end up with something that matters a lot. This should be the most important aspect of it and could be considered as the real key here, and that way it can improve a lot in the end when the time comes.
Sounds very simple and easy, but in fact this case is very difficult to solve even though the government forms an extermination organization. The KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) formed by the Indonesian government has not really been able to eradicate corruption in Indonesia so far.

Corruption does not only exist at the top level, but this case even exists at the bottom level. No doubt, the country's economy is always difficult and we can find officials and elites who have abundant wealth. In fact, I can say that corruption is a culture that is increasingly being adopted everywhere.

Bitcoin was made for everyone to use for any transactions, which is decentralized so you have the power to control your assets whatever you like. Due to Bitcoin's decentralized system since it's part of the crypto, many people would use it to any thing such as illegal activities. Criminals might love to use Bitcoin since they can anonymously have transactions so I think that also might be the reason why the government would love to centralized it. So they could gather some data and trace the identity of people that involves to any crime. Not only that, some people might use the name of "Bitcoin" just to scam innocent people especially newbies. Since people are already aware on Bitcoin's potential many of them would want to own even 1 BTC, so those people are the most common target of scammers. These could be the reason why some people couldn't even want to acknowledge Bitcoin due to this issues because in banks they have the liability to secure your funds.
Absolutely, and I agree with your assumptions. Bitcoin are money that can basically be used legally or for the right thing and vice versa. Bitcoin cannot be blamed for its wrong use cases, it is one of the unavoidable things about a currency. It's exactly the same status as any other means of payment, I mean it's always the potential to be used for the wrong purposes.

So even if bitcoin is also being used in ways that are not true in its use case, this is not the fault of bitcoin itself. Crime and acts of crime exist not only because bitcoin exists, but bitcoin is only used for smooth transactions for them.

The problem is that Harry Kane is the hope for Tottenham to have goal productivity in his matches, we see that, but what power players do Tottenham have, the performance is uneven, which causes them to not develop rapidly to compete with other teams, especially in the English league which today is very tight. competition, so the decision to move to another strong league team like Bayern Munich was the right decision to carve out his achievements in his career as a football player, if he continues to remain silent at Tottenham, he must accept that he became a legend without a trophy in his career in the big league .
But if you think about it, if Tottenham do sell him, they will suffer enough to lose Harry Kane and their hopes will be even narrower to be in the top 3 of the Premier League standings.
Tottenham is a team that can provide good competition in the Premier League because of the quality and ability of its players. But unfortunately Tottenham have so far not been able to win the Premier League title even though they have proven their game consistency several times and collected many points. Tottenham finished runners up in the Premier League in the 2016-2017 season, but they have also managed to qualify for the Champions League 5 times out of the last 9 seasons.

Tottenham completely failed last season even though Kane managed to score a lot of goals. Kane can't do much for his team because I don't think Tottenham have the good mentality to win the Premier League. They failed many seasons, and that is one fact that hurts.

Interestingly of course, the situation is becoming more tense and perhaps clearer. Because after all, PSG had also made a strong decision to extend Mbappe contract with an increased salary as well, but Mbappe refused. Also, PSG had decided to sell Mbappe but again, Mbappe chose to stay for one more season. Mbappe attitude like that, obviously made PSG anger overflow and with that too, now PSG is taking another action not to include Mbappe in the player list. That way, it might become clear that if Mbappe wants to leave, then leave at this moment because if he stays, it seems like it will be useless for Mbappe too because he will not be included in the PSG squad later.
The drama about Kylian Mbappe isn't over yet, but I think it's only a matter of time. Kylian Mbappe and his team seem very selfish and don't want to be kind to PSG's wishes whether it's a matter of planning a contract extension or by selling him. If Kylian Mbappe treats PSG like this then of course PSG will also be furious at him so certainty must be reached soon. Now Mbappe can cause problems at PSG even though he gets a big salary. It also means he has the same potential in other teams if he doesn't follow Mbappe's wishes.

Mbappe's unprofessional attitude towards PSG can be one of the benchmarks for other teams who want to sign him. Mabppe is very selfish even though he is one of the best at the moment, and I am not happy with his attitude towards PSG.

I think this forum doesn't need people who don't take things serious especially when it comes of password saving and phrase backup because I can still believe that one day he would come crying for losing his entire asset.
I disagree, but of course it's good to have more users aware of how to secure passwords and everything that concerns the security of their assets.

What Poluweh555 said is true. When he means comfort zone doesn't mean Tottenham, he means England which you just said that British is Kane's comfort zone. Which means you guys are on the same page.

Kane in his early days in Tottenham 2014/2015 when he was the highest goal scorer, I could remember that Real Madrid gave him an offer but he turned it down saying that he is cool playing I'm Tottenham. But presently,I don't think that Kane is cool anymore because players that he is better than is scoring goals have lifted up one or two European league trophies but he is still there with no European trophy. He needs to move to Bayern Munich so that he can taste UCL and feel the joy in lifting such trophy.
Now the problem is not Kane, but I don't think Tottenham want to let him go for 100 million euros to Bayern Munich at all. If Kane really wants to leave Totteham then he might be able to force his move at all ways. But we know that Kane has great loyalty to Tottenham so he has stayed until now.

Of course Kane has the chance to win the Champions League title with Bayern Munich, but still that is not a guarantee that he will win it. Kane could also move to another Premier League team if he wants to win the title, but Tottenham are adamant with the high demand for his value.

In as much as Bayern Munich seriously need a striker like Harry Kane, the English national team captain also needs a club like Bayern in other to crown his footballing career with trophies.
Reports has it that the player and club has reached personal agreements but has been hindered to finally sign the transfer papers by Tottenham Hotspur's club chairman who is yet to consent to the player's departure. I think Harry Kane can do better in forcing his way out of the club and it's best to do it now to save his career
Tottenham still rejected Bayern Munich's offer for Harry Kane even though it had already touched €100m. I think Tottenham want a better offer for their main striker but I don't think the value is outrageous. Harry Kane is almost 30 years old and €100m is a fantastic price for him, but I understand Tottenham and his desire.

The Premier League will start soon, so intense talks must be held regarding Kane's future. Bayern Munich are looking increasingly likely to back out of plans to sign Kane if Tottenham don't have the good faith to sell him. I don't think Tottenham have anything to lose by accepting a €100m bid for Kane, that's a lot of money to find a suitable replacement.

Barcelona does not tolerate poor performance at the present time, since Xavi Hernandez expects the best from his players at all times. Ousmane Dembele was essential to the blaugrana during his first season at Camp Nou, but things got out of hand when he incurred an injury, which effectively ended his career. The Frenchman has been plagued by injuries, which have had a negative impact on his performance on the field. His colleagues and supporters mainly knew him as an injury player; he always bounced back with good form, but not for long before sustaining another injury. Moving to PSG is going to assist him get back into shape.
Dembele is basically happy to stay longer at Barcelona I think, but only if Barcelona can afford to pay him what he wants. Dembele's performance has been good alongside Xavi, but unfortunately he couldn't turn down PSG's reasonable offer. Dembele would be just as good at PSG given that Luis Enrique probably knows him from Barcelona, ​​so I think he will help Dembele to play at the same level next season.

Dembele's frequent injury problems during his time at Barcelona are troubling, but I don't think it's an issue that gets too much attention from PSG about Dembele. PSG will have a good attack alongside Dembele, of course but only if a deal is done.

If there is a very clear reason why you need to reset your account password, then do it. Changing passwords periodically is normal practice for the security of your account, but as long as you can still prove ownership of the account and there have been no changes in posting activity including language then I don't think people will accuse you of changing hands.

You can change your email too, sometimes it's needed, especially if so far your email is no longer safe from phishing attacks or something like that. A safe tip for keeping an account is to sign messages from bitcoin addresses you've used on forum.

Barcelona will need a lot of money to get Bernardo Silva in the team. I do not think that is happening. First of all Manchester City is not even interested in selling Bernardo Silva. Even if they are selling him, they are going to ask for a huge amount of money. Which is definitely not going to be good value for money for Barcelona, especially right now. I think Barcelona is going for him and are even interested in him a little because he did indicate that he wants to move out from Manchester City. But just because the player wanted to move out and maybe Evan is interested in playing for Barcelona, does not mean that Barcelona will definitely be able to get him. In the end, it is all about money.
You are right, in the end it is unlikely that Barcelona will succeed in signing Bernardo Silva because of money.
But it's always possible for Manchester City to be interested in a barter or if they find a deal that we don't know right now. Barcelona's main obstacle is money, but Barcelona also has the opportunity to recruit Silva with another approach.

I'm not trying to deny you, but that's one other possibility that could have happened between Barcelona and Manchester City regarding Bernardo Silva. Barcelona's interest in Bernardo is not without reason, so I think Laporta will find a solution for Xavi's wish on this one.

Maybe the deal is done now and Dembele is going to join PSG after leaving Barcelona but recently Barcelona sent him a warning and asked this player to come into the training camp with other players because they said Dembele is still their player and he should train with other players.
Maybe they are just doing it to make the transfer stop and don't let Dembele leave.
I don't know if an agreement has been made between PSG and Barcelona regarding Dembele or if PSG only agreed with Dembele for a transfer plan with his agent. The situation will not work in Barcelona's favour, of course because Xavi has convinced Dembele that he is one of the players expected to stay.

Barcelona could ask Dembele to train with his team-mates as long as PSG don't make an offer to Barcelona, ​​​​so I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If PSG has officially made an offer, then of course Dembele will immediately undergo a transfer process up to medical tests. I believe Dembele will leave after PSG seriously want to sign him, so Barcelona will definitely have a tough job next season to find a replacement.

That means Tottenham are prepared to risk losing Kane for free next year, I don't think Bayern Munchen will be negotiating any more for a new price deal for Harry Kane. Better for Tuchel to target other players, but not Osimhen it seems because the price is very high.

On the other hand, this will make Harry Kane have to be patient for one more season to be able to taste the championship trophy, but at least Kane can have the opportunity to increase his number of goals in the EPL.
Harry Kane has played with Tottenham for a very long time, of course he is one of the players who is loyal to his current team. But I am very unfortunate that Harry Kane has never won any titles with Tottenham even though this team is one of the good teams in the Premier League. Tottenham have failed in most of the competitions they have competed in, but Kane has always found it difficult to part ways with his team.

Bayern Munich came in and offered him a chance, but Tottenham seemed too keen to keep their star. Not sure how much longer Tottenham will be able to convince Kane to stay but I think Kane is desperate to win something to look back on in retirement. The Bundesliga isn't bad for him, of course.

Barcelona is still trying to hire Bernardo Silva from Manchester City while they don't have a good financial situation and they send any good offer to this layer, which means that's normal to see their offer rejected just in a few hours because Macnshter City is a team with a good financial situation and they don't get attracted with offers like this one they got from Barcelona.
Xavi wants to hire Bernardo Silva and he asked the team to hire send an offer for this player but even after selling Dembele, still they can't send a good offer for Bernardo Silva and it seems Bernardo is going to stay with Guadiola for another season.
Barcelona are indeed very interested in recruiting Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, but I don't think they will be able to do it considering the financial situation and the desire of Manchester City who don't want to let Silva go in the near future. Pep Guardiola has stated that Silva is an important player in his plans for next season, so of course he really hopes to keep him as much as possible.

After all I believe that SIlva has an interest in playing for Barcelona, ​​of course it is because he wants to have new challenges in his professional career as a player. Xavi knows his potential, but he can't do much because Barcelona don't have a lot of money to spend.

I believe Pep had good reasons for dropping Debruyne to the bench and it doesn't mean that he underestimated Arsenal. Manchester City played well today and controlled most of the game but luck was not on their side.
I checked the match statistics, sure enough that Manchester City dominated this match well, but in the end luck was not their thing in the last minutes. Leandro Trossard, who entered in the second half, managed to score a goal even though his shot did not go straight to the goal which was escorted by Stefan Ortega. The Manchester City defenders failed to anticipate the shot which in the end in to Stefan Ortega's goal and he was fooled.

Arsenal deserved the title they won regardless of how they tried. Arsenal tried until the last second and they were really ready to win the title when they faced penalty shoot-out. Pep Guardiola deservedly be disappointed for the day's failure, but maybe that's the end of it.

Yes Napoli took that risk, his brilliant performance last season is not a guarantee that he will be able to do the same in the next season, it could be worse than what we expect. You are right that they might lose half of his current price or even more than that. But everything that is done will have a risk, it depends on whether the risk is big or small depending on the situation they face. Because it is also a risk if Napoli sells this goal machine, because there is no guarantee that he will get the same or even better players than the players he currently has.
Osimhen is still very worthy of being kept by Napoli for a few seasons instead of selling him as soon as possible due to high offers. Napoli wanted titles and they were desperate to prove they too could be successful in Europe instead of being concerned with business, so Osimhen was not sold so quickly.

Napoli still hope that Osimhen can help them win some titles and they seem ready to lose some value to Osimhen. But maybe not, even Osimhen is still very likely to maintain his selling points if he is able to score more goals than last season. Osimhen is still too young to be expected to hit his peak, he is 24 years old, so there is still a lot of potential in him to improve.

I watched the match from beginning till the end Arsenal had really improved on their game with their new signings the trio of  Timber, Havertz and Declan Rice live up to expectations especially Timber who was very solid at the left back shortly after he was substituted Man City scored the opening goal by Palmer, however I think Man City had a slight domination compared to their previous meetings when they used to take most of the possessions and Haaland was kept quiet in most part of the match, winning the community shield will boost the morale of Arsenal players in readiness for the league proper next weekend.
I am not surprised by Arsenal's success regarding the Community Shield title. Arsenal have won 17 titles in that competition (including this one), while Manchester City have won just 6. Pep Guardiola has won 2 titles with Manchester City for the Community Shield title in the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons. But today's failure may not be what they wanted.

Arteta has improved Arsenal's form but about today I think Arsenal really got lucky with late goals. I'm not sure why the referee had to give 11 minutes to injury time in the second half, but this seems odd for a final. But I don't see any issue about that that's worth arguing about, so Arsenal and his success with the title deserves credit.

You should respond to the post in English instead of Italian. Something wrong with you?

Napoli have proved great last season in Serie A where they managed to win the title. I can probably still expect Napoli to have a good form next season, but I'm not sure they can defend their title against the ambitions of some other teams. Juventus, Milan, Inter and Roma seem to be very wild to take the throne from Napoli, but I think Napoli still deserves to secure it if they can maintain their best form.
