Let's hope that Vlahovic will justify the hopes of the Juventus management and fans in scoring a striker, because the club has almost lost Morata and continues the ugly situation with the extension of the contract of Dibala, which may have a bad effect on the attacking potential of the club from Turin. With all the problems that Morata has with the successful completion of attacks, there is still no denying his high level of play and it is not for nothing that Barcelona President Laporta personally went to Madrid to discuss a possible transfer with Atletico. I would also like to say something similar about the Dybala, who is a high-level player capable of deciding the outcomes of matches.

All this does not negate the fact that all the successes of Zinedine Zidane are associated with only one team, which is Real Madrid, so I still think it is not entirely correct to compare Zidane with Pep Guardiola, who achieved success in both the championship and the Champions League with Barcelona, and also won titles with Bayern and Manchester City. Therefore, Guardiola has already managed to prove his coaching ability in other championships, which has not yet happened with Zidane. At the same time, I personally have no doubt about Zidane's professional coaching qualities and the Champions League titles are excellent evidence of this, but still we have not yet seen Zidane in conditions other than Spanish.

If Barcelona is just starting to straighten out the game and its standings this season, then Napoli has known better times at the beginning of the season, when it issued an impressive winning streak. Realistically speaking, Barcelona has only one chance left for the title this season and that chance is the Europa League, so I think Barcelona will take this two-legged confrontation with Napoli with all seriousness. On the other hand, Napoli is still continuing its battle for the Scudetto and this may bring its own nuances. The fact that Barcelona's game and results have been improving lately does not mean that this will be automatically transferred to the Europa League matches, because there is still some instability in the team's game. In any case, this is the most status match at this stage of the tournament and both teams would certainly like to continue their fight for the cup further.

The possibilities for Borussia Dortmund to keep Haaland are not so huge and are not comparable to such clubs as Real Madrid, Manchester City or even Barcelona with all their financial difficulties. At the same time, both Manchester City and Barcelona are clearly experiencing problems with scoring strikers and are therefore very interested in the transfer. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which a player will not leave the club next summer, so Dortmund should make full use of the presence of such a player and already prepare a replacement. Borussia Dortmund should already be glad that Haaland did not leave this transfer window and continues to contribute to the team's results, although this may later affect the transfer cost both up and down.

In any case, Lampard needs coaching practice, because a year has already passed since his dismissal from Chelsea in January 2021. The situation is close to catastrophic, no one thinks about high places in the standings anymore and now the main task is to prevent Everton from relegating from the Premier League to the championship. Rafael Benitez is a fairly qualified specialist and even if he got such a bad situation, it means that Lampard is going to have a very hard job without any guarantee of success. This is also mixed with some financial problems for both the club itself and the owner of the team, and money is also needed for the construction of a new stadium. Two weeks ago, the Daily Mail claimed that Everton owner Farhad Moshiri was considering selling the club.

It seems that Tottenham and Juventus have agreed on the terms of the transfer of Rodrigo Bentancourt for 19 million euros. There was also information about other proposed transfers, so it's too early to say that Tottenham have not signed a single player. Now there is not much time left and we will be able to find out whether Antonio Conte was satisfied with the winter transfer campaign or indeed we will hear about another loud divorce of the Italian coach with another club, because everyone already knows about Conte's cosmic ambitions and he is unlikely to tolerate this, not forgetting also about the not-so-easy character of Tottenham owner Daniel Levy.

This is a special kind of concentration increase in Medvedev To be honest, Medvedev had some grounds for his discontent and the right to express all this. Another question is that the form chosen for this does not always meet the standards of politeness, however, Daniil apologized for this after the match. In my opinion, Medvedev has some advantage in the final match, although I would not venture to call him the undisputed favorite. Medvedev's side has a more familiar and favorite court surface and a younger age, as well as already accumulated skill. Nadal has more experience on his side, the ability to deploy forces and a great desire to get ahead in terms of the number of grand slam wins in the great three.

This seems to be one of the reasons why Pochettino would like to change clubs at the end of the season. Because he was tired of the situation when Neymar and Mbappe are the main faces in the club's locker room, and then Messi and Ramos were added, who also claim to have a special attitude towards themselves and their wishes. That is why Zidane is seen as the figure who will be able to unite all this motley group of stars into a single team, thanks to his authority as a great player, and already had similar experience in Real Madrid. Now it remains to find out Zidane's opinion on this issue, because as far as I know, he has not yet officially announced his future professional plans.

Let's not forget when and under what conditions Koeman was invited to Barcelona and became the head coach of the team. At that time, there was no epidemic of COVID 19 and, accordingly, Barcelona's financial problems worsened because of this. The Dutch specialist came to a club that was quite financially prosperous and his task was to make a generation change in the club quite painlessly and prepare the club for a gradual decrease in the role of Messi on the game and the results of the club.You know what happened next. There were well-known events, there was a change of the club's management, Messi left the club. Unlike Koeman, Xavi already knew exactly where he was going, what difficulties he would face and what tasks needed to be solved.

I can't imagine what the management of Manchester United should offer Zidane in order for him to agree to lead the club as a head coach. The only thing that comes to mind is the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in the team with whom Zidane worked fruitfully at Real Madrid, but I don't think that can be a decisive factor in making a decision. With all due respect to Manchester United, the Paris Saint-Germain squad looks more stellar in names and the Arab owners of PSG agree to invest in the club clearly more than the American owner of MU. An important factor is also the fact that Paris Saint-Germain is a French club. Therefore, if Zidane has a choice which club of these two to lead, then the choice will clearly not be in favor of the club from Manchester.

Let's not forget that the match between Milan and Inter itself has its own meaning, regardless of what tournament position the opponents occupy and the mood for this match is also appropriate. Therefore, I would not be in a hurry to give an advantage to one of the clubs only on the basis of the matches that have passed before. The derby always has its own logic and its own intrigue. As I said before, Milan needs to win this match more and, accordingly, the club should make more efforts for this, exactly the same can be said about the match with Napoli. In general, the loss of Inter in the matches with Milan and Napoli will further strengthen the intrigue in the fight for the scudetto, but the win of Inter in both matches does not mean the end of the fight for the championship, especially since I do not think that this will happen and Inter will surely lose points in at least one of these matches.

All this does not negate the fact that Massimiliano Allegri himself did not want to let the football player go, as he himself had already stated three weeks ago. More specifically, Allegri stated that then he would have to take one of the 4-5 best strikers in the world as a replacement. Another question is that the Juventus management does not want to pay 35-40 million euros for the buyout of the contract and after the transfer of Vlahovic for 75 million euros, it becomes clear why and on whom the bet will now be made. However, let's not forget that in the match with Roma, it was Morata's appearance on the field and his active actions that predetermined Juventus' wonderful comeback.

Well, as for Tsitsipas, I would like to add that Nadal also seems to be more considered a specialist on a clay court Although of course I'm also a little surprised that Tsitsipas was able to get to such a high stage of the tournament, especially considering that he had surgery only a few weeks ago. As for Medvedev's previous five-set match, I would like to say that this should not have a strong impact, given that it was a rest day and tennis players of this level should know how to recover properly after such matches. I would not be in a hurry to talk about Nadal's easy way to the final, let's remember, for example, that no one really expected that Medvedev's previous opponent would cause him so many problems and put him on the verge of losing.

In any case, Zidane is not yet seeking to move to England, including for linguistic reasons, and even more so to Manchester, from which, according to rumors, Zidane's wife does not seem to be enthusiastic. Zidane is also used to working at a club that positions itself with the super prefix, which was Real Madrid during his years of work and the current Manchester United does not quite fit this definition. By the way, there was information that Manchester United is quite satisfied with the work of Rangnik and is going to change his status from temporary to permanent, but I don't trust this much and I think work towards finding a new head coach will resume closer to summer. Still, it's still hard to believe that Rangnik will be able to fantastically change the team's game and results by the end of the season.

I absolutely agree, because Paris Saint-Germain somehow managed without the help of Messi before and the absence of an Argentine player should not have a fatal impact on the outcome of matches. Another question is that Mbappe, who contributes a significant share to the success of the club, seems to be going to leave the club at the end of this season and it will be interesting to see how the club can bear the loss of its best forward. However, Mbappe has not yet announced anything about his future to representatives of PSG and Real Madrid and seems to be going to do after the match of the 1/8 final of the Champions League. Also because of this, it's time for Messi to start playing a more decisive role in the club's game, because that's what he was signed for.

Recently, therefore, everything about it is from the field of rumors and nothing official. If a month ago the CEO and president of Bayern Munich officially announced that the club does not apply for the signing of Haaland, because the club has Lewandowski, who is still able to perform for several years at the highest level, now it seems that the situation has changed a little. According to Bild, the Bayern leadership has held talks with the player's agent Mino Raiola and are in no hurry to extend Lewandowski, who demands a salary increase for a new long-term contract. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumor was just an element of pressure on the side of the Polish player.

I believe that the home field factor still gives Barcelona some advantage over Atletico in this match. The same factor, in my opinion, will have a significant impact on the model of the game of Atletico Madrid, which will play more defensive football and draw the result. Also, let's not forget that Atletico is one point ahead of Barcelona in the standings and therefore a draw will also bring more satisfaction to Madrid. And what satisfaction it will bring to the players and fans of another club from Madrid, I will not even describe However, thanks to the current separation from the pursuers, these people will calmly accept any outcome of the match

This does not negate the fact that Real Madrid would not mind having Mbappe in their squad right now and even made some efforts to do so. However, Paris Saint-Germain did not agree to the offer and embarked on a risky path, on the one hand not strengthening the opponent before the full-time match, on the other hand losing good money and the prospect of releasing the player for free as a free agent. I also have no doubt that Mbappe will play at full strength against his potential future employer, but on the other hand, human psychology is a rather confusing thing and therefore some elements of the subconscious may surface that may eventually interfere with events and still interfere with the football player's game.

I think that the pressure from the Borussia Dortmund management is not about this transfer window, because it seems that Haaland remains at the club until the summer and there are no changes in this regard. It's just that the club needs clarity already about the summer period and how Haaland and his entourage are going to act and, accordingly, starting from this, they are already building their tactics. In this I quite agree with the management of Borussia Dortmund, because it is not normal when six months before the next transfer window, a football player does not know where he will continue his career or pretends not to know, which makes the situation even more ugly.

On the part of Medvedev, there was some impressiveness and low energy bordering on apathy in the first two sets. Auger-Aliassim, on the contrary, played well in the first two sets and, most importantly, held his serve quite confidently, almost not giving Medvedev a chance to make a break. But this could not go on indefinitely and Medvedev began to wake up and show the game, thanks to which he is the second racket of the world and the main contender to displace Djokovic from the first place in the ranking. The main watershed occurred in the third set, when Medvedev made a mini-break on the tiebreak and after closing the roof on the court finished the case by successfully winning the tiebreak. Let Medvedev still continued to walk on the edge of the abyss and even got a match point from an opponent on his serve, but the contours of that game were already visible due to which Medvedev could win the match. Evidence of this is the successful and confident playing of break balls on his serve, when they periodically arose. Auger-Aliassim gave chances in the fourth and fifth sets by giving his serve once and Medvedev was able to take advantage of this thanks to his high class.
