Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez also made comments about Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. It was a friendly game but they didn't play like it was a friendly. They played to win and was very strong than Xavi Hernandez expected.

After so many years of trying and failing this season is another to see how they will progress after so much absence from one of the biggest games in all of Europe. The lose of Gabriel Jesus to Injury will affect them at the start of the new season but he will be back. Nketiah will sure fill in well until Gabriel returns but he is not matured enough to lead Arsenals attacking force. He misses a lot of chance.

Many people may think that Buffon didn't play all that many games because he is old, I did the same way, I assumed that he didn't play that much and was just a bench player for the past few seasons at least. But then I took a look at it and realized that he actually plead quite a few games. This means this dude was still playing meaningful minutes at 40+ years old.

Buffon is definitely one of the best goalkeepers of his generation and not only that he actually saw two or even maybe three different generations come and go while he played. That's a good situation for sure, I could easily say that he is in the goalkeeper hall of fame without a doubt, he had an amazing career and it could be considered very well for anyone.

Of course that's hard to say in advance. I mean do the young players from the Arsenal squad have the mentality of winning in the Champions league. The champions league match is a fairly important match that they must focus on next season because if they waste the opportunity then Arsenal will find it difficult to go far in the Champions league.

Even Arsenal have been absent for a long time in the champions league so this season is the most beautiful season for them to show their strength that they have built from the previous season. The arsenal squad is almost an average of young players and they are not experienced enough to play in the champions league, therefore they must be able to work hard in every match they will play. We will wait for the group phase draw which will be held at the end of August.

Although he was about to turn 38, he flatly refused the offer from the Saudi giants. At this age, it is difficult for any player of his generation to compare with him. The person I want to mention is the "conductor" in the midfield of Real, Luka Modric. Going against the general trend of stars on the other side of the career slope, Luka Modric has rejected many offers from Saudi Arabia to continue staying at Real Madrid until the end of his contract. He will retire at the Bernabeu instead of going to Saudi Arabia to earn money in his old age.

Brazil can be the example of such types of bets but I don't think this strategy is very prevalent elsewhere. As winning the lottery is a matter of luck. Also, if there is a lottery at the national level, there is a very small chance that even if the lottery is purchased at the collective level, personally I will not prefer it. This can be done if it seems profitable according to the lottery prize and lottery quantity. If you win in this case, everyone can be benefited. The joy of winning the lottery in a collective way is not the same as the joy of winning the lottery individually.

Not to underestimate SPL, but I personally would be very sorry if that happened. Because he is still young, he has very good abilities, he deserves to be in Europe joining a big club in Europe. Money is one of the ways the Arab club is tempting Osimhen, but I hope he doesn't always think about money, because with his young age and excellent ability in Europe he can get above average wages, if he can't get it this season, maybe in the future he will be able to get it. The only thing to note is that he must continue to develop and also be consistent, playing continues to improve from time to time.

Yes, but the ideal performance for them is to apply the formation they have done from last season, such as the 4-3-3 where Joselu is the player who will decorate the center forward left by Benzema. However, with a lot of midfielder stock that is owned, it seems that the formation will start according to ancelotti in order to perfect their strengths in the next season.

So, if Ancelotti hasn't found a good quality player for a centre-forward, chances are it will be their weak point next season. I saw Joselu appearance when dealing with Barcelona in yesterday's match. He seemed to have difficulty playing with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation. Therefore, ancelotti must be able to find a new formation to support the accuracy of their game in this pre-season match.

I just want to add, before that Xavi only used Busquets. after a series of defeats in the Champions League, plus several injured players. Xavi has difficulty getting around these conditions. after being eliminated in the Champions League, Xavi's focus was only on La Liga. which in the end, he found a new system that uses Busquets and De Jong as a pivot. although it cannot be said to be ideal and solid, it seems that this combination has changed Barcelona's game. Xavi found the rhythm of the game for his team, plus the players who were injured recovered to return to their respective positions. as a result, Barcelona can win the La Liga trophy. at least, a special gift for them even though they can't yet be categorized as a very strong team.

In this summer window, Barcelona brought in several newcomers. at least, add depth to the squad of his care team. it's just that some players, such as Oriol Romeu, haven't found their rhythm yet. it could be, because Xavi is trying to experiment with his new system. however, this team should be tougher than last season. unfortunately, Dembele will leave even though Barcelona still have a replacement. my estimation, at least Barcelona should be able to qualify from the round of the top 16. yes, even that depends on which team will be their opponent later. let's wait, and I just hope they show their best game.

The transfer window is still open, and because both coaches are experienced, they will know whether or not to sign fresh players for the following season after selling some of them to other clubs. Teams who sell players do so due of the manager's decision; if those players cannot fit into the pattern of football they want to play, they easily release them and use the ones that are available, or better yet, look for better replacements for them. If they've been doing well even after selling some players, they should be able to do the same when the regular season begins.

Xavi certainly anticipated Barcelona failure last season, failing to qualify from the group stage is a failure that should not be repeated this season. Barcelona's strength has begun to increase with the arrival of several new players, the results achieved in El Clasico in friendly matches are progress that Barcelona has experienced.

I see that Barcelona is very solid, especially in defense, Barcelona's defenders play very disciplined in maintaining their respective positions. Competition in the Champions League this season will not be easy for Barcelona, Xavi must be able to maintain Barcelona's quality so that they remain solid until the official matches begin.

Carlos Anceloti uses the same formation he used for Manchester United and AC Milan to play against Barcelona, but I think Barcelona were well prepared to play and win because we all know that it is always a derby match between the two sides.

After Arsenal defeated Barcelona, Xavi took to social media to say that they did not expect the intensity the Arsenal squad used for them as they were preparing for just a friendly match; maybe that is why they take the match against Real Madrid very seriously.

Real Madrid still needs a reliable striker to keep them more competitive because they have good midfielders that can create good chances for the team. That’s why they insisted on signing Mbappe because they know he is good at finishing even though he is not a natural striker.I think if they go on with this team in the coming season, they will likely suffer in terms of goal scoring since Vinicius is not reliable in terms of goals.

I don't think PSG will ever again be able to win the Champions League after they were unsuccessful in doing so last season. Despite having Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar as their top three essential players, they were unable to advance past the semifinals of the Champions League. It's heartbreaking to think about because everyone believed they would win the Champions League trophy based on their frontline strikers.  I was one of the few who predicted that PSG would win the Champions League, not even anticipating that Manchester City would shock everyone by winning the treble trophy last season. What I have in mind was PSG is going to win UCL from the start of last season but they failed woefully.

Last season Real Madrid performed very poorly in La Liga which was never expected. I think one of the reasons for this is that they focused so much on the Champions League that they didn't pay much attention to LaLiga. However, from the beginning of this season, Real Madrid can be expected to play very seriously in La Liga.

The sanctions received by Juventus today were purely the result of their management's negligence, not Juve players. If you don't change the direction of Juve transfer policy, you will always be in this situation. Degradation, deducting points, fines are a series of sanctions that are continuously shown to their fans, really very disappointing.

Even though the Europa Conference is not an elite competition like the Champions League, if they can win it it certainly means a lot, because apart from making the fans happy the club will also receive a good income. The only target that makes sense now is to win the Scudetto next season from Napoli hands, if it doesn't work it will put them in an even worse position.

If you look further, it is true that the transfer market is very crazy because several teams that have become the main attraction in this transfer market have set very high release clauses for their players. For Arsenal of course they have spent quite a lot of money and they will probably continue to be aggressive to build a stronger squad. For stickers, it might be quite difficult to find one that can really make a big contribution to every game.

I might wonder if Arsenal are interested in getting Mbappe.

That dataless statement is FUD, many say bitcoin will hit ZERO and be worthless.
But are we going to believe it? Of course, as a crypto activist who has been in crypto for a long time, it would not be easy for him to believe in such FUD. Everything has an analysis, If some people say that Bitcoin will drop to $ 7k then show a valid analysis, it will give strength to the argument. Otherwise it's just trash FUD that won't change anything.

in most cases where people feel some remorse after gambling and losing everything happens when people take the money that should be used to pay bills, food, school and health and take that money to play thinking that they will win and that after winning, they took the profit to return the money that was destined to pay the bills, so these people lose everything playing and as they lost everything they start to regret it, so what comes next is that they will borrow or sell something to be able to take the money and go back to playing thinking that when they win they will be able to recover the money they lost at the casino

but again they lose and feel remorse, and at this point the situation becomes more serious because the person does not have the money to pay bills and, as an aggravating factor, the person also does not have the money to pay the debt he made to gamble again, the person starts panic and think about killing himself, and the more days go by without getting money to pay bills and debt, that person's situation gets worse, so it's always good that when someone makes a mistake of taking the money destined to pay bills and playing and lose, tell the whole truth to get help early

Many people expect Ten Hag, because he has shown good progress in one coaching season. They have good development, with good transfer conditions. Since Sir Alex retired, there has been no clear progress, the management does not seem to be too patient waiting for the team's process. So they spend a lot of money on coaches and players who are bought. Today they got a pretty good coach, they should have been more patient to do the process.

Barcelona decision to sell Aubameyang and then replace it with Lewandowski was very correct, Lewandowski was able to answer Xavi trust in him by helping Barcelona win the La Liga title race as well as the Super Cup. Lewandowski was also the top scorer last season which made Benzema fail to win the top scorer title twice in a row.
