The problem with Rome is ROme itself, Mourinho do a magnificient job in this years making them and putting them against in the radar of europe, but yes his alst season was not so good in term of performance and with a much more capable team than in other years, so for that reason Rome directives can be a little angry, the problem is...... De Rossi as coach?Huh

To be honest, I don't have the capacity to talk about the teams competing in Serie A. Moreover, I rarely watch competitions where Roma play matches in their local league. but armed with experience and as far as I know about Mourinho, there are not many words I can describe other than the system he developed or the strategy he always applies is outdated. I wouldn't say that Mourinho completely did that, in several matches Roma played with an offensive pattern. however, in almost all of Roma's away games, they played or against teams that were equal, even stronger than them. Mourinho's style and tactics seem to have stuck with him, especially in Europa competitions.

Last season, I still remember very well the semi-final match against Leverkusen. Honestly, that match was really very boring. why, because one of the full teams plays defense. Nothing else, that's the artistic tactical style displayed by Mourinho. So, it seems I don't agree that the problem with the AS Roma squad is a problem with Roma itself. for me, it's not that simple. maybe what I said is not correct, but as the coach and architect of the AS Roma squad, the coach is an image of the team he manages. although it doesn't always have to be as specific as what I said.
BTW, there are rumors that Jose Mourinho has been fired and I haven't read the news about it. but if true, that means the club management no longer relies on him. I can only say, I hope AS Roma finds the ideal coach for them. because after all, AS Roma used to be one of my favorite teams in Serie A in the Totti and Bastistusta era.

All parties at Barcelona should apologize to the supporters, especially since this season they failed to win the Spanish Super Cup. Their performance was good in that match where Barcelona managed to fire 7 shots on goal, and Barcelona also had a high percentage of ball possession compared to Real Madrid. Barcelona only failed to take advantage of their many goal opportunities in that match, they were also disadvantaged because the referee sent off Araujo with a red card.

In general, Barcelona and Real Madrid both played well and created many goal opportunities, but Barcelona's weak defensive system and the strikers' poor finishing meant that Barcelona had to give up with a score of 4-1. Real Madrid deserved the win, but this was no embarrassment for Barcelona. Since then, Barcelona has had to get better focus on La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League. At least Barcelona still has a chance to win the title if they are able to improve their performance and consistency.

In fact, the Spanish Super Cup trophy is not that prestigious, but what is more prestigious is the El Clasico match itself from my personal point of view. As Barcelona fans, they don't need to apologize to us for the defeat they experienced in the Spanish Super Cup. on the contrary, instead Barcelona must perform better in other competitions so that we as supporters are not so disappointed with their performance this season. after all, last season Barcelona won the Spanish Super Cup. now it's his to Real Madrid, and they deserve it. But we agree that Barcelona must improve because they still have matches in several competitions.

IMO, Barcelona this season should be able to perform much better than last season. It's just that the situation and conditions illustrate the opposite. The decline in the performance of Barcelona's back line has had quite an impact on their consistency, several names often underperform. on the front lines, Lewandowski actually always has the opportunity or opportunity to score goals. however, the support given to him is less than ideal in my opinion. It could be because of the system that Xavi uses, or the wingers, especially the young ones, still need experience and stability. for midfield, for me they are ideal. there are Gundohan, De Jong, Gavi, Pedri.  Even though Gavi was injured for a long time, Xavi should have replaced him. ideally, since Xavi is Barcelona's head coach. His current task is how to utilize his players to perform optimally. after all, Barcelona actually has quite competitive depth. So, we'll see how far Xavi can take his squad.

Talking about Real Madrid, even though I'm not actually a Los Blancos fan. however, what Carlo Ancelotti has done with his squad is worthy of appreciation. Moreover, Real Madrid is now dominated by young players. but they are able to do their job well. which in essence, coaches and players have harmonious, good, measurable cooperation and have great progress in the future. Well, let's just enjoy it as these two teams play match after match, especially in the upcoming El Clasico match.

I think City should go further because in football every team has a year when they dominate. If Manchester City wins again this year, it will force the UCL and these other teams to be better. Thus, we will see a tighter competition next year. I think Real Madrid or City are the favorites this year.

Most likely, it looks like Pep Guardiola's target is to defend the title they won in the Champions League last season. remembering several of Pep's previous statements, he had told the media crew that they would defend the title they won as winners of the Champions League. more or less, Pep once said something like that. that's why Pep Guardiola often experiments with his team, especially rotating players in various positions and changing patterns. maybe, I suspect that Pep is preparing something while waiting for De Bruyne to recover from his injury.
now, De Bruyne has recovered from his injury. Pep is just waiting for Haaland to return to the field, who is scheduled to recover at the end of this month. if Pep Guardiola's squad is complete again, it means Pep can implement the system he likes the most, just like last season. however, several new players will be assigned instead of Gundohan or several other players. what is certain is that the team that will play against City must be prepared and cannot underestimate it.

Talking about Real Madrid, so far Carlo Ancelotti has been able to bring his young squad to a brilliant performance. every match that Madrid plays, relies more on its young players. however, they displayed an impressive performance and should be considered as one of the challengers in this competition. but we'll see if Madrid can overcome its first obstacle in the round of 16 against Leipzig. if yes, the challenges in the next phase will be quite challenging, especially if you meet a team that is equally strong and at the same time the players are well established and experienced. well, let's just enjoy it first, the round of 16 which will be held next month.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 16, 2024, 06:49:06 PM
True, Leipzig is one of a strong team when they play at home.
In this season they only lost once in 8 games at home, even Bayern and Stuttgart are not able to get 3 points there.

It will be interesting to watch this match, there must be many goals because Leverkusen will play attacking and Leipzig is good with counterattack.
Also Leverkusen will host Bayern on Feb 11th, a very very important match for both sides.
For Leipzig, the opponents in this week's match must also be considered tough because Bayer Leverkusen also often carry out deadly attacks which will make it difficult for any home team to create a good defense. I also think that their match this week will be quite interesting because considering that both of them are very good teams this season and are also both in the UCL zone so it is quite possible that the match will look fierce and tough.

Remembering the previous match that Leverkusen played when they visited Augsburg, it looks like it will be quite a difficult challenge for Xabi Alonso to bring his team to the Red Bul Arena, Leipzig's home ground. moreover, the absence of Victor Boniface means that Xabi has to implement another system that is more effective than the one against Augsburg. even though Leverkusen statistically controlled the game at that time, playing against Leipzig, especially at home, was not an easy matter. what is certain is that Leipzig is tougher than Augsburg. well, to overthrow the hosts in this meeting, will be homework for Xabi Alonso and his team.

On the other hand, the home team will take full advantage of this match to get full points at home. plus, avenge their defeat in the first meeting at the BayArena home to Bayer Leverkusen. so, this match should be an enjoyable fight to watch. neither Marco Rose nor Xabi Alonso want to lose points in this meeting. which means, both sides are equally aiming for victory. Leverkusen to keep their distance from Bayern Munich, while Leipizig as the home team is aiming for victory to shift the position occupied by Stuttgart. I tried referring to the betting exchange, even though it is temporary, the odds available are not much different.  even though Leizpig has an advantage as the home team. well, let's just wait before this fight takes place this week.

~~

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

A situation and feeling that is normal for us to experience as you say in this post, especially if at the same time we experience the opposite. I mean, while we see other people's gambling with wins, while we experience losses. the feeling of wanting to do the same thing often crosses our minds, and we can even be tempted to do more than that, even if we are able. but if not, it means it's just wishful thinking. in this situation, usually you will try to follow the gambling they are doing. but in each case, it doesn't actually have to be the same specific. well, that's why I said that actually things like that can affect us. or, it could be the other way around. the point is, what you feel is normal.

To be honest, I rarely pay attention to how other people bet.nexcept for watching the streamers' broadcasts, that's only a glimpse. but sometimes, we like to gamble with friends in our free time. in this context, I am speaking in the past. when my friend wins, I also feel the same feeling you experienced. sometimes, we are tempted and even make unusual bets. I mean, you and I can bet on big bets without thinking it through carefully. but apart from all that, self-control is an idea that we can develop to control emotions such as anger, greed and excessive desire.

It's a bit funny this time in our discussion, in fact I rarely pay attention or interpret words like the ones you present. I mean, like the title of this thread. or maybe, you and I have said a few words that without realizing it have become a strange alibi for the community. who knows, after all, we discuss a lot and even review every discussion in gambling. well, so it occurred to me that maybe there were a lot of strange words I said to the community. but what I agree with, and oddly enough is what you shared in your link. I will quote it, "Gambling every day draws you closer to winning". we agree, that this thread makes me a little funny. But don't get me wrong, because in reality I don't have the slightest narrow mind. in fact, I also made a post in that thread.

Honestly, I'm trying to remember some of the strangest alibis in my own circle. but I can't remember it, especially for something that makes little impression on me. however, in our area there are many gamblers who often say, "keep depositing, never win". this is just a figure of speech, our place is to joke with each other about gambling. or, "don't give up", in his words it was changed to, "never give up smoke and let's keep gambling". these words are just a play, yeah like sarcasm for example. For people in my country, you must be familiar with our local language. but yeah, at least this thread can make us relax a little in discussions and not have to be as serious as possible.

South Korea vs Bahrain match results: 3-1 for South Korea's win.

South Korea played very easily in finding full points. Ball possession reached 71% and total shots reached 14x.
Bahrain was able to score 1 goal as an achievement in the game dominated by South Korea.

The team that is the favorite to win the Asian Cup plays the first match in their respective group with a win. Australia wins, Japan wins, South Korea wins.
Now, Indonesia vs Iraq match.
Indonesia is reportedly ready to give a surprise even though on paper Iraq is stronger.

The match between South Korea vs Bahrain is as I previously predicted, there will be at least 3 goals in this match. and yeah, the final result was 3-1. technically, South Korea is much better than its opposing team. especially, in terms of long balls and accurate passes. South Korea's first goal was done very well with long balls. meanwhile, Bahrain, their defense gave a lot of space to the opposing team. in the end, South Korea won this match. for the prediction of the Indonesia vs Iraq match, the final result was slightly different from my predictions and estimates. Previously I suspected that this match would end with a close score. for example, 1-2 or even a draw if Indonesia plays full defense.

Today, the Asian Cup will feature a match between Thailand vs Kyrgyzstan. Based on the FiFA ranking, Kyrgyzstan is above Thailand. It's just that, there is something quite strange for me referring to betting options. Referring to the odds for the two teams, Thailand is slightly superior. for Thailand, I am quite familiar with their style and playing system. but for Kyrgyzstan, I don't know much information. and referring to data and statistics, it seems that choosing Thailand is the ideal choice for the community who wants to bet. based on odds, Thailand with @2.39 and while Kyrgyzstan with @2.95. This match also allegedly will not produce many goals, like other matches. which means, the match will be quite tough. well, for me there are two options in betting. first option bets on Thailand, second option bets on both teams to score @1.90. ideally, this match ends with 1-1 or 2-1. well, let's wait for the final result.

There are things we forget, that in fact there is no prediction that truly guarantees 100% accuracy. if there is an expert who shares the results of his predictions, it does not mean that what he predicts will provide a guarantee of winning in his bet. an expert, has knowledge in his field with everything he knows. then, he tries to research according to the team that will compete, tries to examine various aspects, whether it is team depth, patterns, strategies, opportunities, and all other variables related to what he is good at. usually experts will refer to various points of view in their analysis, then they try to conclude from the results they have analyzed. looking for appropriate odds, or favoring one of the teams that is predicted to win a match. and don't forget, predictions are like weather forecasts. this does not mean that the signs that the expert saw beforehand, or calculated using his method, will produce an accurate prediction. in football, the coach can change strategies according to the team's needs, as well as patterns, strategies and player substitutions. which means, the results of previous expert analysis may change. anyway, if someone has been given the title "EXPERT", it means that he really understands and masters something in his field. actually, we can also review it from various aspects, but I think what I have said is enough. the point is, we can refer to an expert's predictions, but we can't just follow his instructions or betting choices. we can even look for other references, or try to predict it ourselves based on the knowledge and insight we have. btw, for me researching and analyzing my own results is an art in betting for me.

My question is do you think gambling every day is better? From his reasoning and points of narrations.

For me, the answer depends and is very relative. I also read various responses from the community, and it seems like most of the answers point to addiction. But actually gambling every day can have a big impact on addiction. So, I agree with most of the responses from the community. but from the other side, if I am a person who has abundant wealth. honestly, I wouldn't mind doing it. unfortunately, for me, gambling every day is not ideal for me personally. The main problem is, I have to be active in my job to get a steady income to meet our basic needs. Besides, gambling every day does not guarantee a win. Moreover, for gamblers who have limited capital.

The question is, how do we always win while our bankroll is limited. Apart from that, what games or gambling do your friends play? does he show you real evidence, at least to strengthen his argument that gambling every day makes a person close to victory. By the way, I have experience and it seems like this experience is often experienced by almost all gamblers, of course we have gambled every day at certain moments. but instead of achieving victory, the opposite happened. Let's just say we gamble for a whole week, and it's very likely that most of those who do it end up losing a lot of money. That doesn't mean that gambling every day can't make money or win, but usually in the end most of us will target winning, especially if in the previous few days we experienced consecutive losses. and when that victory comes, we will be tempted to multiply it even more. in the end, we lose it all. So, play appropriately and in moderation. play as best as we can, without having to sacrifice a lot of money, even money that shouldn't be at stake. gambling every day is not a problem for someone who is able to do it, but for us it is quite risky and can even impact our work or our social environment.
1090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 15, 2024, 09:23:01 PM
~~
The point is my husband doesn't know that i have been secretly gambling and involving myself with gambling discussions and the rest, So, this morning when i woke something in me keeps telling me i should let him know to understand my involvement  to practice gambling.

Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.

I'm not sure, if I have the right advice to you. however, if you are a woman, especially if you are married, you should know that the habit of keeping secrets will usually have a bad impact. Likewise, if the situation were the opposite, how would you respond if your husband secretly liked to gamble. what is certain is that if things are kept secret, they will usually invite an unpleasant response, especially if they are known indirectly. in other words, for example, if you are caught secretly gambling.
in fact, I don't know you, not even your husband. so, you yourself can assess your own husband's characteristics. in your opinion, is your husband a typical neutral person or someone who upholds rights and freedoms? If that's the case, you can immediately open up to your husband. but with the condition, you have to explain it and take the time for it. so that there are no misunderstandings or missed information, prepare in advance the ideal words that will be used in your discussion with your husband. then, you can share your story and tell the truth. give him confidence, that you are just doing it for fun and nothing more. also give your husband an understanding about gambling, that in essence you gamble not to seek wealth, get additional income, but rather for entertainment and do it for fun but with certain limits. Tell your husband that the money you spend as gambling capital does not interfere with basic needs or does not use money that should not be used for gambling. You have to give him understanding from various points of view, that way your husband will understand and comprehend what you are doing.

Note, what I said was aimed at husbands who really don't know gambling or can be said to be lay people. However, if your husband is the type who thinks gambling is something wrong or something like that, your job will take time to give him insight and understanding first. Try not to be suspicious, so let it flow like you're having a discussion. most importantly, avoid arguments.
By the way, I hope what I say can help you, especially if you can do it more creatively.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 15, 2024, 07:52:29 PM
As gamblers, we love more action, so we tend to make more bets on a regular basis. However, experts say that when we make too many picks regularly, our chances of winning decrease. This is due to the fact that we won't be able to analyze all the games carefully that are in our ticket and won't have the advantage needed to win. So instead, it's recommended that we should value quality over quantity if we want to succeed in sports betting.

Share your opinion regarding this matter.



Edit : I see that some replies are talking about parlay. FYI, this is not about parlay, it's about making many single picks on a regular basis. Please avoid using parlay when sharing your opinion.

As long as I discuss sports betting, I always say that the most ideal is a single bet. especially, if we talk about football. every week there are many matches that will be held, whatever the league. starting from the local leagues of each country, to the top European leagues. well, we have many opportunities every week to choose and sort the teams we will bet on later. in fact, I am not referring to expert opinions about too many choices reducing the chances of winning, but based on my experience in sports betting. the more matches we choose, the smaller our chances of winning. so, I agree with what you said in this post based on expert sources, especially in the field of sports. that's why, I often say, bet as ideally as possible and choose from the many matches presented. even before a match is about to take place, we can research it and gather as much up-to-date information as possible.

what's even more ideal is that we have marked several matches beforehand even though the matches, for example, will be held in the next three days. collect information, then research and analyze it. after that, we look for the ideal odds choice as a bet and don't always just have to bet on 1×2. there are many options for us to choose from, whether both teams scored, Under/Over, handicap and various options available. maximum, three matches is more than enough. ideally, just one single bet, that too from various matches that we choose. and never hesitate, if there are no interesting, good, high probability choices, then avoid betting. and I often do this, at least from various top European leagues, one of the best matches is the choice. or, as I said, a maximum of three matches. even so, there is no guarantee that the team we choose will win all three. well, there are no other words other than I agree with what the experts say.
1092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 15, 2024, 07:14:36 PM
Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.
It will be interesting to see how it goes because if Manchester City lose the figure of Pep and Manchester City, of course this will be a pretty heavy loss for them because after all they are 2 figures who are currently the most meritorious for Manchester City.
We know that Pep had previously planned to leave because the club conditions were not very favorable especially when he failed in the Champions League in his last 2 seasons he had decided to leave but it could still be thwarted by Manchester City and finally got the Treble last season.
As for Haaland although he has only been at Manchester City for 1 season, he has also become one of the players who contributed the most to the goals scored by Manchester City because last season's top scoring title is proof that he is a very talented young player even though this is his first season in a new competition bigger than the Bundesliga.

If indeed these two pillars decide to leave the club then this will be a loss for Manchester City because indirectly there will be a change in performance that could be significant especially when Pep decides to leave the Etihad.

As we all know, Pep Guardiola has managed Manchester City for at least seven seasons, he has been very instrumental and contributed to the club and his team. who knows how many titles he won with his squad, and the 2022-23 season is his best season. I'm sure that even if Pep Guardiola eventually leaves the Etihad Stadium, his legacy will not just disappear. At the very least, the club will look for a coach who has almost the same characteristics as this Spaniard's coaching style. well, regarding the disappearance of a figure like Pep Guardiola, it will eventually happen. what is certain is that the coming and going of coaches or players is certain and all clubs will experience the same thing. but the club, or Manchester City, will continue to exist as long as the people in it come and go. Haaland is no exception, in the end he might go on an adventure to find another club that will be his goal. However, both Pep Guardiola and Erlin Haaland are still under contract with Manchester City for quite a long time. in particular, Erlin Haaland's contract ends in 2027.

However, it is not impossible that Pep ultimately chooses another club that he trains and Haaland could leave at any time, especially for teams that are willing to pay Haaland's release clause. However, on condition that the player is willing to leave Etihad. talking about Haaland, yeah as we all know. Manchester City is the team that has made its name the most, apart from Dortmund. with City, Haaland won the treble winner in his first season. the question is, is there a club that will take him away from City in the near future? so far, everything is still just rumors. so, there is a big possibility that the player will stay at the Etihad Stadium and maybe for Pep Guaridola too.
1093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 15, 2024, 04:12:52 PM
The bad part about what City going through right now is that KDB is back, and we all know how kevin plays, that dude has been awesome ever since his return, just a couple games and he is already doing things that saves them, dude is amazing and I agree that he is going to end up being even better. But that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a missing player yet again.

They got Kevin De Bruyne back, but they are missing Haaland right now at the same time, those two were the best duo in all of football world last season, and they haven't played any games together this season so far I think, or if any, that must be before KDB got injured. So City is not even at 100% right now and will take a while, need to get Haaland back, and both those players in 100% shape.

When City played their match in the Group G phase, they got maximum points even though several players had to be absent due to injury. one of them, Kevin De Brunye, had to be in the treatment room for quite a long time. nevertheless, Pep Guardiola's squad did not experience any significant problems when playing their matches against teams in the Group G phase. now, De Brunye has returned and recovered from his injury. even though Pep didn't play him as the main starter in the match against Newcastle, De Bruyne was able to maximize his ability and stability even though he only played a short 21 minutes. Gradually, Pep will return De Bruyne as the main player in his starting eleven. at least, City now has additional ammunition options that can be relied upon in every City match. especially, in the Champions League competition which seems to remain Pep Guardiola's target to defend the title they won last season.

In the round of 16, City will play the away match in the first leg at home to Copenhagen. in theory, City will not experience any significant problems in the next match. which means, City's probability of qualifying for the next round is quite high. Likewise with Haaland, this player from Norway is predicted to make a comeback at the end of January. If it is true according to the predicted schedule, Haaland can be played when City plays Copenhagen later. both in the first leg and in the second leg. so, this way Pep can play his two mainstay players like last season. the combination of Haaland and De Buyne will be a problem for the teams that will be their opponents later. Let's see how De Brunye plays his matches, especially in the Champions League. likewise with Haaland, who is scheduled to return at the end of this season. thus, Pep again has a squad he can rely on. but to be sure, let's see and wait to see how it develops.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 15, 2024, 03:19:32 PM
In fact, if Kevin De Bruyne had been played from the start of the match then the result would not have been like this and that was Pep Guardiola's strategy to include him as a supersub. The results, as we can see, with energy that is still fit and also an extraordinary game vision, the results are very commensurate. If Kevin De Bruyne is included from the start, it is possible that Manchester City will be under more pressure because his recovery will not support a fierce match like this and I think Pep Guardiola's decision is very correct.

Now Manchester City certainly feels very favored again after the return of Kevin De Bruyne and other teams like Liverpool are certainly very alert, especially as Jurgen Kloop also realizes that Manchester City's real big strength is Kevin De Bruyne and therefore Liverpool must not waste points in the future so that Manchester City doesn't can overtake them.

It is normal for De Bruyne to only be played as a supersub, in this context he suffered a long injury. so, Pep did what he should have done, especially in the match against Newcastle. and this decision is not just a matter of Pep's strategy, but to adjust the player, to adapt well when he returns to the field and before De Bruyne is made a main starter in the City squad again. even if De Bruyne is played as the main starter, it is very likely that the pattern that Pep Guardiola applies will be different. so, there are various possible scenarios if De Bruyne is played as the main starter. but what is certain is that as we know, if Pep prefers to play he starts from the bench.

And yeah, we agree that with the return of Kevin De Bruyne, Pep can apply the pattern that is usually his mainstay. thus, City's performance can improve much more than when De Bruyne was injured. Pep can rotate his players according to the pattern and strategy he applies. even if Pep Guardiola prefers De Bruyne to be played as a supersub in several matches or several weeks, City will still be a threatening team, especially for Liverpool. moreover, if Haalaand has recovered from his injury, you can be sure that these two players will complement each other like they did last season. so, it seems that the competition for the Premier League trophy this season will be even more exciting.

Roma is not expecting anything in this season regarding winning a trophy and I think also Mourinho does not expect wins either regarding European trophies.They don't have the players and resources but that does not mean anything,they will take games one by one and if they see that it is possible to have a go at winning an European trophy then by all means they will do the maximum in their power to achieve such trophy.

It could be so, yeah like what you said in this post, AS Roma is not targeting trophies in the Europa League competition. what they will do is, play the match as well as possible, including playing the playoff match against Feyenoord. actually, I don't really take part in following the development of teams competing in Serie A. however, looking at AS Roma's performance and ranking in their domestic league, what you say is quite realistic. maybe, if Jose Mourinho prioritizes his team's squad to focus on its Domestic League competition. at least, Mourinho's goal and focus brought his team to finish in the position they should be. at the very least, Mourinho is targeting his team to finish in the top five in the standings. or, try as hard as possible to get into the top four of the Serie A standings. moreover, this season is Jose Mourinho's last season in charge of AS Roma. if Roma does not extend his services, or the Portuguese coach chooses to leave. He will try to bring his team to reach its best level, especially in the Domestic League. however, that doesn't mean Roma won't try their best when playing their matches in this competition. because after all, last season Roma were finalists and this season they will do their best, including trying to overthrow Feyenoord in the playoffs. Let's see how Jose Mourinho's team plays in this competition.

PSG can win easily when away to RC lens. first the RC lens penalty executed by Frankowski failed this caused the match to decline. added J gradith got a red card. so it's very natural that PSG won this match. there is nothing surprising in this match according to the results of what happened on the field.

What is clear is that PSG won the match against Lens, regardless of what happened during the match. in fact, Lens had the opportunity to score first from the penalty spot in the 7th minute, but unlucky for the home team, the executed shot from the penalty spot was blocked by the PSG goalkeeper. even if Lens is able to score a goal from the penalty spot, it doesn't rule out the possibility that PSG could even play more aggressively and ultimately win the match. even before one of the Lens players was given a red card, Barcola had scored first in the 30th minute. towards the end of the first half, Jonathan Gradit was given a red card.

Moreover, based on match statistics, PSG has more control over ball possession. apart from that, from a technical perspective PSG is much better than the home team. in essence, PSG is able to continue its positive trend so far and widen the points gap from teams below their ranking. with this result, PSG is more profitable and can focus on other competitions, especially the Champions League.

As for Lens, as I said in several previous posts. at least now Lens are experiencing improvement, they were even able to provide resistance when they hosted PSG by having several opportunities and at the same time counterattacking several times, although in the end Franck Haise's team collapsed in this match. But at least Lens remains in a safe position from the red zone, they still have lots of matches for Lens to play. which means, Lens still has a chance to improve their ranking.

Al-Hilal, who haven't lost even once this season in the Saudi Pro League, is truly extraordinary. And this is also a sign that Al-Hilal is indeed the best this season. Even Al-Nassr lost when facing them. Al-hilal managed to pass the 19 matches in the Saudi Pro League without defeat. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr has had 3 defeats and the defeats were from the first 2 matches of the season when Cristiano Ronaldo was absent in the first 2 matches.

I also hope Al-Nassr can win the title this season. But I realize that it really won't be easy with the remaining games in the season. Unless Al-hilal loses their consistency in the middle of this season.

I also can't wait to see the matches between Al-hilal vs Inter Miami and Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami. Yes, these two matches will definitely attract the attention of all football fans. Especially for fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. And everyone is also curious whether Al-hilal, who is unbeaten in the SPL, will be defeated by Inter Miami.

Well, one of the factors that has made Jorge Jesus successful so far in managing Al Hilal in his first season, is that he was able to keep his team going consistently and without losing in his 19 matches in the Saudi Pro League. plus, in several other competitions. although when compared in terms of team depth, Al Nassr has far the most competitive squad than other teams. however, what differentiates Al Hilal from other teams in this competition is that they carry out very good, solid, disciplined teamwork, plus they are filled with players who are appropriate in their respective positions. that's why, so far Al Hilal has been able to move smoothly compared to other teams. what's cool is that Al Hilal has been able to win 20 of its matches in various competitions so far. now, there are rumors that Al Hilal is targeting players who can be relied on in the defense line. with the scenario, the Al Hilal coach wants his defense line to be stronger. thus, it is hoped that the competing teams, especially Al Nassr, will find it difficult to reduce the point difference or even get close to Al Hilal's points.

Well, because this competition still has enough time left, each team competing in this league can focus on improving their respective teams. as for Al Nassr, as I said in many previous posts. Luis Castro's job is only to focus his team's squad to remain consistent and win the matches they will play, especially when they have to defeat Al Hilal in the second meeting. while hoping, Al Hilal will slip up in several of their matches. thus, the potential to overtake the standings or win trophies this season is still wide open. moreover, there is still half the season that each team has to play. which means, we cannot yet confirm which team will win the trophy this season even though so far Al Hilal is one of the teams closest to the league title. Let's just wait, at least until the end of this season.

~Snip~
Bayern are playing a more flexible game on the pitch, whereas they used to play with a pressing character. Their attacks are not so aggressive and effective compared to before. Even though Bayern plays very well on the pitch, it is certain that they are in a weak position compared to their rivals in the Champions League. They give too many positions. Even though he didn't have a striker, it was better under Nagelsman in my opinion. I think Tucheli will be sent at the end of the season.
Tuchel is still worth keeping based on the results achieved by Bayern Munich, they are still in the title race this season. The 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim was a good result achieved by Munich, the sharpness of their attack line is still very effective, Harry Kane is also still able to maintain his performance well. The increasing performance of Bayer Leverkusen means that Bayern Munich has to work hard to regain control of the standings, one more win achieved by Bayern Munich makes the difference between the two to one point. Tuchel just needs to keep his team's performance consistent, the opportunity to win the title is still very open, he hasn't failed yet because the competition is still ongoing and his team position is still active in the hunt for trophies.

The Bundesliga competition is only halfway through the season, so there are still many matches left for Bayern Munich under the guidance of Thomas Thuchel. so far in 16 matches, Bayern has only experienced 1 defeat, although Bayern Munich also experienced 2 matches with a draw. however, their performance was by no means bad overall. even if there are times when Bayern underperforms in some of their matches, this is very normal. remember, previously Bayern Munich was not strengthened by its core players. several defenders were injured, and at that time Bayern relied more on Sven Ulreich. We are well aware that Sven Ulreich is not very capable of being relied on, especially in crucial matches. there are several factors that make people have doubts about Thomas Tuchel, especially when Bayern Munich lost badly when they visited Frankfurt. also, Bayern fell at the hands of a team far from their level in the DFB Pokal competition. But in reality, Bayern Munich's potential in the Bundesliga to defend its title is still very large and still strong. Bayern Munich's dominance will still be very difficult to break, we cannot even confirm or prove that the Bundesliga trophy this season will be won by another team, especially Bayer Leverkusen.

So far, the two teams are only separated by 4 points. But Bayern still has one match postponed, and a meeting with Leverkusen. If, Tuchel is able to take advantage of these two matches and remain consistent on the winning path throughout the match. which means, the top of the standings will again be occupied by Bayern Munich. Honestly, I am a neutral supporter, I really like Leverkusen's current style of play and so does Bayern Munich with Kane. For now, I still believe that Bayern will slowly return to the top and it's just a matter of time. except, if Tuchel is unable to maintain the performance of his team.
On the other hand, Leverkusen's victory in yesterday's match was a big concern for Xabi Alonso, considering that Victor Boniface was injured, Leverkusen had a little difficulty in scoring goals. Moreover, when they play matches against teams that are equal or stronger. especially, when Leverkusen hosts a match against Bayern and this is a serious challenge. because Bayern has a big chance to overthrow Leverkusen in the next meeting. So, let's just enjoy it while waiting for which team will actually win the trophy this season.

I think this is because Barcelona is in an unstable situation because the players cannot perform optimally, especially in this match, the opponents are quite tough. In the previous La Liga match, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid and this season was Barcelona's second defeat. by their arch-rival Real Madrid and this can be concluded that Barcelona is indeed not in good condition so that Real Madrid can beat them easily with an extraordinary landslide score.

Yes, Vinicius Junior performed extraordinary in this match and it made Ancelotti smile broadly because he saw his players appear impressive in the first half and made Barcelona defeated in the face of Real Madrid's attacks and Barcelona's defense looked very weak in this match so Real Madrid could create many opportunities goal while Real Madrid managed to keep the defense tight and Barcelona was only able to reply with 1 goal through Lewandowski but this had no effect at all because Real Madrid had locked in victory since the first half.

Well, it's very clear that Barcelona is not in good condition. we can see several key players who have suffered injuries, the poor performance of Barcelona players and who knows what Xavi is planning to get his squad back on track. and yeah, this defeat was Barcelona's second defeat this season during the El Clasico match. last night's match, Barcelona's defeat was the saddest thing for Barcelona. at least, losing by a narrow score wasn't that big of a deal. however, Barcelona fell with a score of 4-1. even though, this match was held at a neutral venue.
for me, there are several points that made Barcelona easily defeated by Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana match. just look, Barcelona has lost since the first half with a score of 3-1. we can also refer to the statistics of the Barcelona players, Balde and Araujo really underperformed. I have often said that several Barcelona defenders have experienced a decline in their performance this season. likewise with the absence of Ter Stegen, who was quite influential in guarding Barcelona's crossbar. because Inaki Pena has not been able to show his ability to guard his goal so that he doesn't always concede.

in fact, it is not uncommon for Barcelona to concede first in several of their matches, this condition is different from the performance of Barcelona's defense last season. apart from that, Barcelona's front line is experiencing a deadlock in terms of scoring goals. even though in last night's match, Lewandowski played quite well. of all the Barcelona players in the last few matches, only Gundohan has really performed consistently with his best performance. well, sometimes I don't understand when Xavi puts in players who are not even ideal at all. he tried to experiment, and the results fell with a landslide score. anyway, Barcelona is still my favorite team. I hope that Xavi is able to find the best format for his team in the matches they will play. as for Real Madrid, their performance really deserves appreciation and Vini Jr was the best player in last night's match. there's not much I can say about Real Madrid, but they really deserved the win over Barcelona. and yeah, congratulations to Real Madrid.

Today the Asian Cup will present the matches South Korea vs Bahrain and Indonesia vs Iraq. and it seems that this match will not feature an exciting battle between the teams that will compete. in the two matches that will be held soon, the betting market favors South Korea and Iraq. naturally, the teams that will compete today have gaps based on their respective rankings. Korea is ranked 23rd in FIFA, and Bahrain is ranked 86th. while Indonesia is ranked 146th, and Iraq is ranked 63rd. Well, at least we have a little idea of ​​these teams. plus, so are the betting odds for this match. unfortunately the information I get is very limited for the teams that will compete tonight, I have difficulty getting at least predictions regarding player lineups, systems and patterns. even though I'm not very familiar with the players, the information I need is very helpful in terms of analysis and research. what is certain is that South Korea is far superior to Bahrain. likewise, Iraq is the favorite in this match. South Korea with odds @1.16, and Bahrain with @15.00. while Iraq with @1.29, Indonesia @9.00.

Obviously, there appears to be a gap based on the odds, ranking and depth of players from each team. what is clear is that it is not ideal to bet on the superior team with the 1×2 option. because the odds offered are very, very low. the question is whether anyone will choose the Underdog team in this match, considering the odds are quite tempting. if I had to predict, the Over 3 goals option with odds @1.80 is the ideal choice for the South Korea vs Bahrain match. for Indonesia vs Iraq, honestly I hope the Indonesian national team is able to give their best game.  However, it is not an easy job for Shin Tae-yong to ensure that his team is able to match the opposing team's squad in this match. this is a difficult job for Indonesia, especially to overthrow Iraq in this match. however, football is unique and we cannot guarantee every result with certainty and accuracy. so, the +1.5 @1.88 hidicap option for Indonesia is the right choice for me. natural, because Indonesia is our country's national team. well, let's just wait for this match to take place.
