Barcelona didn't get a surprising result and made it to the finale in the Super Cup.  Smiley  They didn't feel a serious threat against Osasuna even though the game was played at a neutral location. I thought the finale would be on a far date from now but unlike that it is only two days later. It is going to be really lovely to watch another El Clasico very soon.

Real Madrid are of course the favoured side. They have already been doing much better than Barcelona in other competitions. I think they will show their performance quality in this finale as well to become the champions. Xavi had better prepare his players in the best way for a tough challenge.

Previously I thought that there would be three goals in this match and Barcelona would concede at least one goal, but Xavi Hernandez's team was able to win it with a clean sheet. also, they didn't experience the serious problems that threatened Inaki Pena's goal. even though I previously suspected that the goalkeeper would play unstable or underform. but in fact Barcelona played quite well, and they had a lot of attempted shots. it was recorded that Barcelona had 20 total shots, seven on target, two of which were converted into goals. I hope Lewandowski starts to regain his instincts and sharpness, especially in the El Clasico final. apart from that, Joao Felix played quite aggressively and hopefully he will be able to play better in the future and become more established. with this victory, Barcelona has the right to advance to the next phase and will meet its big rival, Real Madrid.

Well, we agree that Real Madrid is more consistent and they seem to be superior. this match will be held in the same place, namely Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. even though it looks like Madrid is superior, it looks like this match will present an exciting and interesting match. I hope, yeah, this Super Cup final match will provide an interesting spectacle for us to enjoy. what is certain is that Real Madrid should not underestimate Barcelona even though their performance is currently unstable. but nevertheless, they have a chance to overthrow Real Madrid. and vice versa, Madrid's probability is quite large to win in this Super Cup meeting. and what is certain is that both Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi Hernandez will prepare their respective teams for the match which will be held in the near future.

This Roma still dont have the solid eprformance you need to win something, you can look yesterday they lsoe against Lazio the derby for the Copa Italia, and they dont have a good match, also in Serie A theya re not doing so good, and they have a much more reinforce team than in previous seasons.

To be honest, I don't really follow the development of the teams competing in Serie A. so, I don't really know any developments. but that doesn't mean I can't find out the statistics of the teams competing in Serie A, including AS Roma. what is certain is that AS Roma is experiencing unstable performance even though AS Roma actually has a pretty good front line, and Mourinho should be able to maximize it. I don't know why Serie A teams prefer the 3-5-2 pattern, even though there are still many ideal systems. the 3-5-2 pattern is actually effective, but it must be filled by competent players in each position. at least Inter always uses this pattern, but Simone Inzaghi is smart in placing his players and implementing his strategy. at a minimum, he knows when to rotate players depending on the opposing team. well, Jose Mourinho should have been smarter because in fact Mourinho has long experience and has brought several clubs he has managed to success to become champions under his tutelage. however, what we are seeing now is not that special in Mourinho's hands.

Talking about the playoff match between Feyenoord versus AS Roma, to be honest I quite doubt AS Roma. moreover, the first leg match was held at home to Feyenoord. referring to the betting market for a while, the home team is favored by bookies. so, the question is whether Mourinho will remain loyal to his defensive system in his away matches, especially the match against Feyenoord. if so, it could be that the home team will take advantage to win the match and maximize every opportunity to score a goal. however, this match actually still has quite a long time lag. there is still time for AS Roma to improve its performance.

Yeah you are right, before Benzema can still play normally but for some reason lately the performance decreases maybe because of the injury or maybe his age is not possible to compete in this league. Benzema still has time until the end of the season to prove that he is still able to compete and Al-Ittihad will make a decision after seeing its performance at the end of the season.

As far as I have observed and followed, Benzema was injured and missed several of his matches with Al Ittihad. in the 19 matches played by Al Ittihad, Benzema only played 15 matches with his team. plus, the system implemented by the previous coach did not suit Benzema's playing style. yeah, as some rumors have reported that Benzema doesn't get along with Nuno Santos. it seems that Benzema doesn't like the system implemented by the coach who previously managed Al Ittihad.
now, Marcelo Gallordo is in charge of Al Ittihad. at least Al Ittihad's new coach is bringing an offensive system, and Benzenma is returning to playing as a pure striker or center forward.

IMO, Benzema can actually still be relied on even though he is 36. the problem is, this team is not filled with potential supporting players. in the end, Benzema's performance has not really improved so far. I think it's not just Benzema's problem if Al Ittihad wants improvement. Ideally, club management must bring in several newcomers who can be relied on. good in terms of scoring goals, as well as contributing to helping Bemzema as a goal in his team's squad. which means, Al Ittihad must bring in several wingers who are quite competent and can be relied on. thus, Al Ittihad still has a chance of at least finishing in the top four of the Saudi Pro League. Well, let's see, this competition still has a break before it starts again.

Soon we are going to have Lens against PSG while we all know Lens is far from their good form and to be honest they can't have much chance to stand against a team like PSG anymore.
Lens are racing with PSG in the last season and they could even win the title in the last season but they lost the race. That's why I think betting on a team like Lens won't be reasonable even if you a big reward.


For now, the bookie is giving odds @ 3.70 on Lens for the match against PSG at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' home ground. while PSG with odds of 1.89. there is something a little strange for me referring to this bet, although the odds will change before the match is held.
Apart from that, I haven't received any information regarding this match. so, we can wait and research before this match is held. however, on paper PSG is far superior to Lens. even though this match will be held at home to Lens, it will not be easy for Haise's team to provide fierce resistance to PSG in the match. but at least, Lens was able to recover and is currently in 7th place in the standings. not that bad, considering this team doesn't have a squad that has the same depth as the French League giants. last season, Lens was able to compete closely, one of the reasons being that they didn't have a tight schedule. they only compete in Ligue 1 and the Copa de France. this season, Lens took part in the highest caste competition, namely the Champions League, although in the end they were eliminated in the group phase and dropped to the Europa League. even then, they have to go through the playoffs phase first. which means, this season Franck Haise's troops are really being tested. and yeah, as we know and have seen, Lens is unable to maintain its consistency and performance. for me it's normal, because this team doesn't have enough competitive depth.

On the PSG side, their progress in the Domestic League can be said to be on the right track. after several weeks of winning, PSG was finally stopped by Lille with their winning record because the match ended in a draw. however, PSG was still able to continue its winning streak in the following two matches. in the next 3 days, PSG will play an away match against Lens. for now, I won't speculate too far ahead of this match. moreover, Lens performance is currently starting to improve. of the last 5 matches they played, Lens lost the last match to Nice. and we'll see how these two teams meet. will Lens be able to hold a draw, it will be interesting for us to wait.

We all understand that the Manchester city of last season that won the Champions League is not the Manchester City we are seeing now. Although there is no much difference between the Manchester city of last season and the Manchester city of this season. What I am trying to say is that the Manchester City of last season is somewhat better than the Manchester city of this season. Apart from the transfer of some good players like Gundigun and Mahrez, we still understand that a player like KDB has been absent from the Citizens squad. These things that I am noting will only affect Manchester City when they face a bigger club in the semi-finals and not against Copenhagen. Whenever or not Manchester City is inform, Copenhagen cannot eliminate them in the Champions League.

There is nothing wrong with what you say, but we can also refer to what Pep Guardiola did during De Bruyne's long injury. in the matches they have played this season, it is natural that City is not as sharp as last season. clearly, there are significant differences. manchester City, last season, was quite fierce with its 3-2-4-1 pattern, and always beat its rival team with a landslide score. both in the Domestic League and in the Champions League. if there is a difference, yes, it is clear that the departure of Gundohan and Mahrez means Pep must do something ideal for his squad. one of them, bringing in several new arrivals. but that alone was not enough for Pep, especially after De Bruyne was injured. so, it looks like he is trying and planning something for his squad. I see that Pep never assigns his players to the same position, except for a few players in particular who are mainstays on the front line. Just see, if the Manchester City architect prefers to experiment by rotating some of his players.

My conclusion is that he is exploring the potential of his players and trying to maximize it as he wants. apart from that, Pep also rarely plays Jack Grealish in the Premier League. more precisely, Grealish always starts in the Champions League. my assumption is that he did this to maximize his players, especially newcomers. and I am also sure that Pep is fully aware of the risks he is taking. however, the proof is that City still has the opportunity to overtake the teams above them in the Premier League. now De Bruyne is back from injury, in the first match he played quite impressively even though it was against a team that was not very strong. however, with his presence, Pep can now freely apply his system, especially since the first half of the season has passed and now is the time for City to prove their toughness again. it could be that Pep will always rotate players in every match they play. what is certain is that City's chance of qualifying for the next phase of this competition has a high probability. plus, they also have a good chance of continuing to compete for the title in their domestic league.

I feel that Bayern Munchen will not stumble at the start of the second half of the campaign tomorrow, Hoffenheim will need great luck to secure the three points at the Allianz Arena. The preparations of both teams are certainly very good, but both teams are currently still not finished with player injuries, and they are also among the teams that sent players to defend their respective countries. However, I don't think this will reduce the tension of the game, where Bayern doesn't want to lose momentum to overtake Leverkusen, and Hoffenheim has the ambition to be in the European zone.

Statistically Bayern is much better than Hoffenheim, and we have seen that only Leverkusen can steal 1 point at the Allianz Arena so far. So I agree with you in this moment, Tuchel squad has a big chance of securing full points. However, if the opposite happens, it will certainly be very beneficial for Leverkusen in leading the top of the standings in the future.

I am quite optimistic that Bayern will start tomorrow's match versus Hoffenheim with a win. moreover, this match will be played at the Allianz Arena, home of The Bavarians. even though this match will be held tomorrow, we can still refer to Bayern Munich's predicted line up. It seems most likely that Thuchel will play the main players. the reason is, in the second half of this season,Tuchel will be more serious about bringing his team to shift the ranking temporarily occupied by Leverkusen. even though there are three important players injured on Bayern's side, namely Gnabry, Min-jae Kim and Mazraoi, in fact they have an ideal replacement.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim needs hard work to provide resistance to Bayern Munich in tomorrow's match. or at least, keeping up with Bayern Munich is more than enough for Pellegrino Matarazzo's squad when they play away to Bayern Munich's home ground. we can even refer to the temporary odds for these two teams, Bayern Munich is far superior to the opposing team. so, this match will be a difficult match for Hoffenheim who must be ready to face Bayern at the Allianz Arena. if Bayern wins this match, then they will only be one point behind Bayer Leverkusen.
while Leverkusen will also play an away match against Augsburg, in this match their striker Victor Bonicafe is predicted to be absent for six weeks. of course, it will be a loss for Xabi Alonso who loses his flagship player on the front lines. however, we'll see how they play the match.

Barcelona  VS   Osasuna

I am very interested in today's match between Barcelona vs Osasuna. These two teams will meet in the semi-finals of the Super Cup. Barcelona's performances have been somewhat erratic, but this team is quite strong. Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title are slim. So Xavi will definitely want to win the Super Cup title.

Osasuna's performance in La Liga is not good enough. In 19 matches they have earned only 22 points. Also Osasuna's performance against Barcelona is not very good. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Barcelona have won 4 matches and drawn 1 match. Barcelona have won their last four matches. So I think the possibility of Barcelona winning in the Super Cup match is high.

On paper, Barcelona should be able to win this match, especially in terms of team quality, we both know that the two of them have quite a clear gap, either in terms of player depth or in terms of ranking. apart from that, these two teams have a gap based on the betting market.  Unfortunately, Xavi Hernandez's squad is currently performing really unstable. and what I notice most about Barcelona at the moment is their defense, they are really easy for their opponents to penetrate. in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona conceded two goals to their opposing team in the last match. in this match, we'll see if Xavi makes any changes to his defensive line. in particular, it's natural that I have serious doubts about Inaki Pena. Ter Steger's absence is very influential for Barcelona's goalkeeper.

On the other hand, this match was tough enough for Osasuna to match Barcelona, ​​let alone overthrow them. even though the match was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which means it was neutral. but it was still not an easy matter for Jagoba Arrasete to bring his team to victory over Barcelona. moreover, based on H2H, Barcelona always wins over Osasuna. referring to betting odds, Barcelona with @1.46 and while Osasuna @6.60. well, we agree with the speculation that Barcelona will win this match. but the question is, will there be 3 goals in this bet. or, the match will be quite tough. btw, every time I try to predict Barcelona it always fails. even though, Barcelona is one of my favorite teams. but if I refer to the predicted line-up for these two teams. this match should produce lots of goals, at least my assumption is that this match will produce 3 goals.

I must say unfortunately that Nicolas Jackson has just no chemistry with Chelsea or the Premier League.  Sad  He is normally a really decent striker. You must be remembering his time at Villarreal before coming here. He was promising back then. But now he is having serious issues with finishing the attacks with goals at Chelsea mostly.

He can score more goals than this actually if he works harder but I don't know maybe he just can't adapt around here. However Chelsea has Nkunku back in the squad after an injury that lasted a very long time. I hope to see him taking the shirt from Jackson as much as possible.

Chelsea needs a center forward who has more quality, is established and can be relied on. if Phoce only relies on Nicolas Jackson as their goal getter, they will find it difficult to achieve their targets this season. I'm not saying that Nicolas Jackson is a sticker who lacks potential, but it seems that Chelsea needs a truly established player in their attack line. Meanwhile for Nicolas Jackson, maybe he needs adaptation and more flying hours to reach his level of play. after all, Nicolas Jackson is a young player, so there is still plenty of time to develop his talent.

At the same time, Poche needs more than that so that his squad can be consistent and win lots of wins. plus, achieved something they targeted this season. at least, Chelsea is one of the elite teams in the Premier League and it seems like finishing in the top four is their target. To be honest, I don't watch Chelsea games that often. however, referring to the statistics for each match, their performance is really unstable. IMO, Chelsea actually has several players who have quality and can be relied on, but not all of them. moreover, Chelsea is currently dominated by young players, at least they need established players. plus, Poche must try and find ways for his team to improve its performance. if not, his position as Chelsea coach will be at stake.

~~

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

if we talk generally, everyone in a family will be affected. I mean, whether it's the gambling addict or the family. but even so, if the gambler does not have responsibility it will have consequences and impact on his own family. however, in reality gambling addicts do not always harm the people closest to them. so, we cannot always generalize from case to case. however, if we talk generally, almost all cases like this will really affect and impact a family. one of the impacts, as you said, could also be worse than that. and what is certain, everyone can feel the loss and even be harmed. so, it's not just the family itself. likewise for the addict, the consequences of his addiction, whether he realizes it or not, have an impact on his environment and family. in the end, nothing is gained.

We also have to look at the side of the addict himself, there are many people who want to get rid of their excessive habits. however, because he no longer had good control, he had difficulty controlling his high desire to gamble. well, in this phase the family plays the biggest role in helping people get rid of the problems of people who are addicted. whatever the addiction, what is called an addiction is still an addiction. in other cases, the addict could also be very detrimental to the family. which means, he doesn't care, the most important thing is that he can give vent to his desires. well, the points in each case will always be different even in the same problem. that is why it is very important to have a broad understanding of gambling itself, responsibility and self-control. if not trained, disciplined. hence, the impact could have consequences as we discussed.

Girona showing their strength, you comment about the incompetence and how are inexperience they're but still yet, they are competing with Real Madrid for the first position on the league table, that alone proofs they're in excellent shape to withstand whatever pressure coming their way. Aligning with your words, you seem 100% confident of the predictions regarding the movements of these players. As for the fact stated out, playing for Real Madrid is very much consider to be under pressure because Real Madrid is an elite club and they will want the very best from their players in all circumstances.

It cannot be denied, as I have said in several posts, that this season Girona will be able to compete fiercely at the top of the La Liga competition. in fact, Real Madrid and Girona have the same points. even last season, Michel's squad only finished in 10th place in the standings. However, this season Girona has appeared impressive. IMO, there are several factors that make Girona this impressive. First, they brought in suitable newcomers, especially a productive front line. Plus, Girona doesn't have a busy schedule like other teams at the top of La Liga. It is clear that this factor is one of the things that supports the performance of Michel's squad, which continues to appear impressive in every match. what is certain is that Girona only participates in two competitions, namely La Liga and the Copa del Rey. which means, their preparation to play match after match is better compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid who take part in various competitions. the busy schedule results in many factors causing players to suffer injuries, fatigue, and have to distribute their focus across several different match schedules. while Girona, only focuses on La Liga. For me, one of their advantages is apart from the players who are in their best performance. just like Lens last season, this team from the French League was able to beat Marseille and several other teams. This season, their performance is very fluctuative, one of which is a fairly tight schedule. Well, whatever assumptions you make, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Michel's squad could still be able to compete until the end of the season. Moreover, if they play nothing to lose. This can make them more relaxed in their matches and stay focused on their goals. So, for now we should not underestimate Girona.

What makes some people still doubt Leverkusen is because Leverkusen has only shown their impressive performance this season, they have not yet tested how consistently they can maintain their current performance. In contrast to Bayern Munich, they have been defending champions here for more than a decade, we can already see how consistent they are in maintaining their performance, even though they slipped several times, they were able to recover quickly, which we have not seen from Leverkusen. If they slip, for example, how confident are we that they can recover quickly? no one can answer that with certainty because they have not really been tested as well as we saw with Bayern Munich.
It's actually natural that many people ask that question, because they have a basis for the questions they ask. One of the reasons is as I explained.

We agree with what you said, that in fact Leverkusen has not been tested by how far they have gone in this competition until the end of the season. their consistency has not been tested, although in fact Xavi Alonso's squad was able to play impressively in 15 matches without losing. their challenge in the race for the title this season is getting tougher, especially now that one of their mainstay players on the front line has suffered an injury, namely Victor Okoh Boniface. It will be Xabi Alonso's challenge to maintain his squad's consistency in fighting for the title this season. and I hope that Xabi will still be able to show the appearance of his squad even without their pure stickers, which are rumored to be absent until April.

On the Bayern side, as I said in many previous posts. Just like you said, Bayern Munich has won this competition for more than a decade, in fact Bayern Munich has advantages over other teams and at the same time has a winning mentality in this competition. even though they slipped, in the end they were able to get back up and return to leading the Bundesliga standings. and don't forget, Bayern is the richest club in this competition. So naturally, they have more competitive player depth than other teams. this season, the probability of their chance of retaining the Bundesliga trophy is very large. Moreover, Leverkusen's side is currently experiencing problems with players suffering from injuries. It will be a big question for all of us, will Xabi be able to continue to bring his team consistently and show that they are capable. Well, let's see how it develops.

There have also been rumors about Mbappe being linked with Liverpool. So I guess if he were to join the Premier League he would probably join Liverpool. And it seems logical as Salah is also rumored to be leaving after the end of the current season.

Now the thing is that Ancelotti has said that he won't be recruiting any new players this season. It is true that they need a world class number 9 and I don't see any world class number 9 right now except Haaland and Mbappe.

If Mbappe does not join then I don't think there is any reason for them to recruit another number 9 because they already got Joselu who is getting the job done as an average number 9.

So if Real Madrid were to recruit any new number 9, I think that would have to be Mbappe or someone who is closer to his skill. And to be honest, currently, I don't see anyone close to his skillset.

Rumors about Mbappe will always be a hot topic of conversation, especially now that this is his last season with PSG. I also read rumors of Mbappe being linked with Liverpool in the last week, and as you said, Mo Salah could be the solution if he moves to the Saudi League. However, recently, there have been rumors that Mbappe and Real Madrid are getting closer. there were also reports, one of which was a newspaper from France. if Mbappe will join Real Madrid next summer. Indeed, this player is always a hot topic and controversial.  Honestly, I'm not too sure about the rumors circulating. except, after this season ends.

On the other hand, I read several reports from Fabrizio Romano regarding PSG President Al Khelaifi's statement. there were several points he conveyed, some of them, Kylian Mbappe here has the best training ground in the world, the best coach in the world, regularly plays in the Champions League, "he is the center of our project. Apart from that, Al Khelaifi also emphasized, I have good agreement with Mbappe. in short, Al Khelaifi will not comment on money or details. in essence, they have an agreement between us and it will remain between us. this is interesting because we don't know what happened really yet, so I won't assume as you said, whether it's with Liverpool or Real Madrid, more precisely, I will just follow every development of Mbappe's decision to determine his future.

They did provide a great sight so far, but that doesn't mean that they will win, it is not going to be easy for them to get that title, and it would not be simple for any team to fight against someone like Bayern.

But Bayern in any league and you will have some trouble, which I would assume would not be easy, you can put them at Premier league and they would still fight for the top, not saying they would get it, but they would be somewhere near the top, same goes for serie A, la liga, ligue 1 and everything else. I am not saying they would win them all, but they would be one of the best teams in all of them. So Bundesliga is hard to win when Bayern is there, we don't know what will happen but it will definitely be tough.

Bayer Leverkusen has unpleasant news, as reported by several newspapers and also from Fabrizio Romano. their striker, Victor Boniface, has a muscle-tendon injury and is not expected to play for Leverkusen until next April. Victor Boniface suffered a muscle-tendon injury in the adductor area, and will undergo surgery in the next few days. it seems that Xabi Alonso has to prepare other players instead so that his team can still compete and maintain its position at the top of the standings. but it's clear that it won't be easy at all, especially since the pristine stickers they have will have to be absent for some time.
and yeah, so far Leverkusen has played well in almost every match. however, that alone is not enough to win the Bundesliga trophy. so, we agree with what you said. but I will not involve other leagues, such as the Premier League or other top leagues. what is certain is that Bayern Munich's chances in this competition are still very big to retain their championship title.

Apart from that, Bayern Munich has experienced drastic improvements, especially on the front line. also, the giant Bundesliga team has a winning mentality that is difficult to break. currently Leverkusen is ahead by 4 from their 16 matches, while Bayern Munich has 38 points and has only played 15 matches. there is one match that Bayern can take advantage of to reduce the points gap, and Tuchel will not miss that opportunity. plus, these two teams still have one more meeting to play, and Bayern will not waste the opportunity they have.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen must remain consistent at all costs and this will not be an easy job for Xabi Alonso in the absence of Victor Boniface. anyway, I still believe that Bayern will take over the top position in the end. however, we'll see how Alonso will tackle Bayern Munich and continue to try to keep his team consistent when playing match after match in this competition.

One thing I have to say is that I hope Manchester City will be able to find good players to replace the players that they have right now. Because we have seen how important the players are for the club. The performance dropped significantly as soon as they got injured. And as soon as they came back from injury, I would not say that the performance has skyrocketed but currently has improved. With KDB that Manchester City squad looks very frightening again. And I think it is just a matter of time before they are able to perform as well as they were doing again.

Well, haven't you seen that so far Pep Guardiola has always tried to rotate, change the system, with various experiments. as far as I've followed, Pep rarely plays the same lineup in every match. except for the center forward. even if Pep applies the same pattern, there will definitely be one of the players who will be rotated or moved in position according to the coach's wishes. especially when De Bruyne suffered a long injury, Pep always changed patterns, systems and rotated several players. and when Haaland was absent, Pep started trying to implement the same pattern for his squad. even then, several players suffered minor injuries. I try to interpret according to my personal version, if Pep is actually trying to develop the potential of some of his players.

Honestly, I can't guess what Pep Guaridola actually did. however, it is very likely that he is actually planning something, one of which is finding the ideal player composition which he will apply later, especially if the main players leave or are injured. So referring to what you said, it looks like Pep has been doing it since De Bruyne was injured, and that's apart from the new arrivals they will recruit next summer. Well, considering that De Bruyne has now returned from his injury, it seems Pep will be more serious about reducing the point difference in his Domestic League. also, City will try to take over the top of the standings again. Talking about the last 16 of the Champions League, although in football it is unique and cannot be predicted with certainty. but in any case, City has a fairly large probability of qualifying for the next round.

In the first half Nice done good job and keep things at the top even they are not having luxuries like PSG but still their defense is one of the best in this season, but sadly their defensive tactics are not going to help them for winning title they need to add some aggressive striker which helps them and increase their number of goals as well in last few matches before break they lost 2 matches both were against low rank teams which are surely painful but still they are doing decent job which is going to help them for having better results.

After break, things will be on another level as few teams are trying to join at the top, and they will do as much they can like Monaco, Marseille and Lille surprise package Brest and Lens are also doing good job, so Nice needs to change their way of playing and need to be aggressive approach which can give them better spot at the end.

IMO, it looks like Nice is not aiming for the League title, considering that Nice is a mid-table team in this competition. To finish in the top four of the Ligue 1 standings, is already a big achievement for them. in 2015-16, Nice was able to finish in 4th place in Ligue 1. in the 2016-17 season, Nice experienced an improvement up one level finishing in 3rd place in Ligue 1. after that, Nice was always a mid-table team. Last season, Nice was only able to finish in 9th place. Well, this season Nice experienced improvement and was ranked first in Ligue 1, although in the end it was taken over again by PSG. However, so far Nice is still in the top four of the standings, more precisely below PSG's ranking with a difference of 5 points. one of the teams that was not expected to go this far, and they were still consistent throughout their 17 matches. At least Nice is still above AS Monaco, Lillie, Marseille and Lens. So, can these teams beat Nice in the standings table?.

By the way if I try to review the Nice players, this team has a lot of young players. and to be honest, I rarely examine Nice in detail. Also, referring to several matches, the Nice coach often rotates several of his players. I'm just learning about this team, so I still need to research it further. and referring to the Nice coach's system style, he tends to use a 4-4-3 and 4-1-4-1 pattern. plus, Francesco Farioli is a young coach at 34. so, I was quite impressed with what I just reviewed. Well, after the break let's see what Francesco Farioli can do for his squad. whether AS Monaco, Marseille, Lille, Brest and Lens are able to get rid of Nice in their position. quite interesting, seeing the Nice squad with its young coach. so, let's wait.

In essence, the competition for the title will return only about Liverpool and Manchester City because ya, of course Manchester City will be able to improve its performance for the better with De Bruyne return from a long injury. But for the next Premier League match, in fact Manchester City will play away against Newcastle. With the opposition likely remaining a strong opponent then ya, it still looks like De Bruyne will not play the full 90 minutes because of course, a slow process is still needed so that De Bruyne no longer suffers injuries.

I don't know if it is a good idea to make the assumption about Manchester City and Liverpool being the top contenders for the title. Because this season a lot of teams have been playing well and there have been some unexpected results. I don't think anyone thought Aston Villa was going to be in the second position. And I don't think people actually predicted that Tottenham was going to lose some matches consistently when they were at the top of the table for quite a long time towards the start of the season. So anything can still happen. Manchester City is definitely going to be in the title race. But I think the other teams are also not going to give up.

Likewise with us, for me the competition for the title is still open for several teams, not just Liverpool and Manchester City.  because, this competition still has many matches left for all teams to play. If Tottenham experiences a decline, whatever the cause, doesn't mean other teams won't also experience the same thing. for example, currently Arsenal is also experiencing a decline in their ranking even though they are actually not playing their matches too badly. However, for one reason or another, Arsenal experienced ups and downs. and that is very normal for a team, even though Arsenal actually experienced the same problems as in the previous season. However, because this competition has only presented 20 matches, there is still a chance for Arsenal to win the title. Likewise with Spurs, they have the same opportunity if they are able to get back on track. at least, finishing in the top four is their target.

As for City, their chance is quite big to retain the League trophy. City has one match postponed, while Liverpool and Arsenal have played 20 matches. Pep can make good use of De Bruyne's return to the main squad. he can also return to implementing the same system as last season, with his core players. Even though he lost Gundohan, Pep has a replacement. City just have to play their matches consistently and beat Liverpool in their second match this season. This applies to Jurgen Klopp's squad, they must continue to progress with their positive trend until the time comes to meet Manchester City. and yeah, the journey of the team we mentioned in this thread is still quite long and exciting. It could be that Arsenal and Spurs are having difficulty getting back on track. or, Liverpool and City will experience a decline. So, nothing is certain at this time. after all, the points are not that far apart.  and, let's just enjoy it.

Of course, but Xavi is trying to shoulder the team in times of need. What they want to do is very challenging. They will not spend much money and will be successful. This seems unlikely. He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.
Most of the blame will still be on xavi as it has to do with the teams performance and it's normal that whenever a team is declining in their performance the first point of call is the coach and it's very fine because he overseas every affair of the team especially on the pitch and the results they produce.

There are young players who are able to help the team get desired results as expected of them, this was seen in their las two games when firstly was the pattern of the game experienced after a few changes and in the most recent has to do with the performance of the team using the younger and good players all through so I will say so far it's more of a tactical problem and player's placement if xavi can further improve on these aspect he can make do with the squad he has got and possibly get amongst top four even if he's in able to win the lalig a this season but then by next season he will be properly positioned for winning trophies.

As I said previously in several posts, Barcelona actually has a fairly competitive squad. It would be a shame if Xavi couldn't maximize and manage it well. We know very well what Barcelona is experiencing with its financial situation, they are even trying to borrow several other players to strengthen their team. and yeah, Xavi has an important role as a coach, so that doesn't mean we blame him for the situation his team is currently experiencing. but more about how he has to fix his squad so that it gets back on track.

IMO, currently Barcelona is experiencing a decline in several sectors. Barcelona's defense is currently not as strong as last season, especially as young goalkeeper Inaki Pena is not as reliable as Ter Steger. Apart from this, Barcelona's front line had difficulty scoring goals even though they had enough chances. in particular, Lewandoeski. Apart from that, several players were injured. For me, all teams are involved, not just their young players who are currently starting to develop. also, how Xavi tries his best for his squad. after all, he was the architect of Barcelona. who must design his team as strong as possible, and improve on the weaknesses. that's why, we put more emphasis on Xavi but not to judge him. Except, almost all of Barcelona's main players are injured, we can understand that.

Well, we agree on one aspect. However, more precisely to improve the quality of all players. Xavi can try rotating, changing and placing his players. If necessary, Xavi can apply several patterns and also change the system. but we are well aware that what we say is not as easy as the reality. What is certain is that I hope Barcelona will be able to show their best game.

So, we can conclude that gambling is about luck, most of the time. Can I say that great poker professionals like Erik Seidel, Daniel Negreanu and Liv Boeree have won their millions only because of luck? No. But that luck has played a big part in all that, yes, I think so. And in my opinion sports betting requires more luck than poker, but maybe it's my own opinion.

I will not deny what you say. yeah, " we can conclude that gambling is about luck, most of the time". like some of the names you mentioned in the world of professional gambling in the field of poker. they really got lucky by getting millions of dollars, and that's why they got what they deserved. But in reality, luck will not come without effort, knowledge, experience and everything else involved. just like this life, everything is related to luck. Likewise with gambling, without luck which is related to each other, we will not win anything. In short, we agree with what you said including sports gambling. But in essence the concept is not that simple, I'm sure you also understand it.

Now we are talking about sports, for example football. When the two teams compete, luck also plays a role. This luck must also be accompanied by effort, which is carried out by the two teams competing against each other. starting from the depth of a team's players, systems, patterns, strategies and all kinds of things carried out by the two teams competing against each other to win the battle. Just like gambling, betting requires experience, understanding, research, analysis, odds, options, and most importantly knowing exactly what we are betting on. After that, we will hand it over to the team that will compete. which team is luckier and also the choice options in our betting. This effort is made solely to minimize losses, without any effort with the variables that we do, it means we are betting only relying on luck. As a result, there are more losses than wins. because we don't try, which we should be able to do with our creativity. just like poker professionals, they need time to learn everything to achieve the skills they want.

I would like to ask if some people here has experienced this too and what is the possibility that most people who experience repeated losses are Ignorant of the game play patterns.

Usually almost all beginners experience things similar to your experience, including myself, I have also experienced it. and I think this is a natural thing, because usually we are used to doing things instantly and neglect to study, understand first. In this context, I am talking from the gambling side. in your case, usually someone is encouraged to play a type of game that is very interesting to them even though they have never played it before. Usually there is a trigger for us to gamble on this game, it could be something we have seen before, whether on TV or other media, that makes us interested in trying it. or, when we see our friends playing it and it seems like it's very easy.
When we try it, we often experience confusion, yes, as happened in the case of your experience. In this phase, we are usually encouraged to quickly understand how the game works. Unfortunately, due to lack of experience we end up doing it carelessly. Just imagine, even if you are very familiar with the game of roulette, the probability of losing is still quite large. especially, if someone doesn't understand at all. which means, he just bets randomly and relies on luck. Well, experiences like this often occur among gamblers, especially novice gamblers.

Referring to another point, it could be like that, it could also be due to greed. I mean, someone ignores something that he could have studied or observed. in the end, he always loses. Another option, a person is given enough winnings from the roulette type game. but because he was too busy playing, or felt the desire to double his bankroll, and yeah, he ended up losing. well, btw, actually the demo option is very useful if one wants to know how the game works. and I have other tips, if someone doesn't really understand how to play the game or doesn't know at all. It's best to just avoid it, bet on something that is usually your hobby. or, at least that's what you say. Before we get involved in playing it, learn it first from demo mode, or tutorials from various references. thus, one will not get too lost in his gambling.
