Despite recent speculation, Klopp would no doubt be quick to dismiss suggestions that any deal Liverpool could do with Mbappe was possible. "We laughed about it," Klopp told Sky Germany last August. Klopp also said that Mbappe is a very good player but his financial condition does not suit us at all. however, there was another message implied, Klopp said that maybe there were other parties at the club who were preparing something and wanted to surprise me. that hasn't happened in the eight years I've been here, it would be the first time, quoted from TeamTalk.
on the same page, Mbappe has explained that he will give up the £80 million loyalty bonus attached to him by leaving PSG next summer. although so far rumors have always linked Madrid as transfer favourites, Mbappe has made it clear that he has not yet made any decision, possibly postponing it until the end of the season. Mbappe said, "I haven't made a decision yet," he told L'Equipe.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has set the deadline for Mbappe on January 20 to decide on a proposed free transfer move, the Spanish giants are said to be angry with the French star's latest statements. and as a result, they now face a scenario where they may have to keep their promise and abandon the proposed free transfer if Mbappe delays beyond their self-imposed deadline. well, I'm surprised by the new rumors regarding Mbappe, Real Madrid and Liverpool. there are also those who think that the Reds must be willing to lose Mo Salah to be able to finance Mbappe's move. It is reported that Liverpool owners, FSG, are looking for ways to pay for Mbappe's move. uniquely, Mbappe once stated "I spoke with Liverpool because this is my mother's favorite club," said Mbappe to the Daily Telegraph in 2022.
as a whole, by reading these reports or rumors. it seems that we will be ready to be shocked if in the end Mabppe's choice is not Real Madrid. although I still don't take these reports or rumors too seriously. however, it does not rule out the possibility that such a thing could happen. finally, let's just follow the developments because this is quite interesting for us.

That's why, Xavi must find the ideal formula for his squad to be able to unleash their potential. in the match against Las Pamas, it was very clear that Barcelona's defensive line had dropped drastically and it was easier for the opposing team to penetrate. in several matches played by Barcelona, ​​an important problem was the weakness of Barcelona's defense. even though if we talk about player quality, Barcelona's defense is quite good. but why, it seems as if this team is quite vulnerable to conceding goals. Barcelona have played 19 matches, and they have conceded 22 goals. that means, there is something that is a problem within the Barcelona camp. whether it was due to poor player performance, player rotation that was not ideal, or Xavi's patterns and systems were not suitable for Barcelona's defensive line players. in the midfield, the Barcelona players always appear consistent. as far as the matches I watched, only Gundohan and De Jong played with their best performance. the rest, not many players stand out.

Statistically, Barcelona had more control over the game against Las Pamas. but the problem is, they have difficulty converting opportunities into goals. proven, if Las Pamas was not given a red card and Barca did not have a penalty kick. which means, this match ended in a draw. but Barcelona were very lucky, they got a gift from a penalty point in the final minute and were able to convert it into a goal by Gundohan. now, Barcelona is 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid. fortunately, La Liga still has a lot of matches left for each team competing in this league. if, Xavi doesn't look for an effective formula or solution. so, they had to bury their mission to defend last season's trophy title. so it's very clear, Barcelona is not safe at all in its position. moreover, they have to narrow the difference in points from the team above them. we'll see how far Xavi can take his squad until the end of this season. if he fails, I agree that Barcelona is targeting a more ideal, established and qualified coach. it's natural, as a fan, I want to see my favorite team perform very well. you don't have to blame Xavi, but if he is unable to lead it in a better direction even though Barca has competitive depth. it is appropriate, someone replaces it for the sake of change.

It's true that United's performance has really declined, especially compared to last season. however, this situation did not just happen, it suddenly hit The Red Devil. Man United's appearance is uncertain, because they have problems both within the camp and externally. and what really affected it was that United was hit by a storm of injured players. in the end, this team seemed to have lost direction in terms of the rhythm of their game. moreover, Casemiro is usually the player who motivates his teammates' mentality more. since he suffered an injury, Erik Ten Hag's squad became even more chaotic. and not only in terms of self-confidence, but in fact every player must prioritize teamwork, especially in the midfield and front line. apart from that, the absence of mainstay player Ten Hag in defense adds to United's problems.

Well, I'm trying to find some information regarding injured United players. some reports, if Lisando Martines, Mason Mount, Malacia, Casemiro, have the same schedule they will rejoin on January 15th. at least, Ten Hag has another option with the recovery of several injured players. and if in the end the United players recover from their injuries, I am sure Ten Hag can return his squad to normal. I mean, they could potentially be back on track.
Talking about the match against Tottenham which will be held on January 14, Ten Hag can actually maximize his squad, especially in the title match at Old Trafford. at least by having a break, Ten Hag made good use of it to evaluate his squad. and based on temporary odds, United is more favored by the betting market. theoretically, that means United has a chance to overthrow Spurs. so, to be sure, let's just wait first. in fact, we can watch United play their match in the FA Cup first.

Is this a rumor, gossip or just discussion? Haaland is one of the biggest stars in the current era. many of us, even among football fans and experts, say Haaland and Mbappe are two players who are shining compared to any other player or say stickers in general. talking about Haaland, it is actually far out of context for him to join PSG. even though PSG actually has unlimited finances, it seems like a futile attempt to offer a proposal to bring him to the Parc de Princess.

The problem is, City is a way for Haaland to win lots of League trophies and individual titles at the same time. with City, Haaland was able to win the treble at the same time last season. for Haaland, joining City is the best thing for now. additionally, Manchester City is owned by a fellow Middle Easterner. financial problems are not a significant obstacle for them. so, what is Haaland's motivation for joining this club from the French League? in fact, we know very well that the EPL League is currently much more prestigious than other leagues. even if Haaland one day wants to experience playing in another competition, the ideal choice is La Liga. so, I agree with what you did. after all, PSG is well aware that the possibility of getting Haaland is very small.

IMO, Pep doesn't actually care too much about how his squad can win match after match. based on my personal point of view, if Pep and his team are focused on wanting to win in every match, he doesn't need to bother experimenting with rotating and changing the system he uses. we can refer to every match that City plays, in fact Pep always tries something new. this season, Rico Lewis is the most diligent in Pep Guardiola's rotation. apart from that, rotating Foden, Bernaldo Silva, and rarely even playing Jack Grelish in the Premier League. if I try to analyze it according to my version, Pep wants something different from his squad. at the same time, several of their mainstay players were in and out of the recovery room and one of them, Kevin De Bruyne, had to be absent for a long time. if Pep wanted to remain consistent like other teams, he would easily stick to the same pattern and not change it.

For me, City didn't play badly even though they experienced 3 defeats and 4 draws. maybe, if Pep wants to take advantage of his players and try them in various positions. that's why he always does his experiments. well, in the second half of the season. usually, Pep will focus more on his goals after he feels satisfied with his experiment. moreover, injured players are ready to return to the main squad. so don't be surprised if City has the probability of shifting the teams above them. because after all, City has a chance for that. well, it is precisely in the middle of this season that Pep Guardiola's squad must be wary. because I am quite sure, they will start to be more serious in every match..and this is a warning for Liverpool, it could be that in the next meeting City will destroy the Red. therefore, Klopp's task to keep his team at the top of the standings is quite difficult. honestly, I can't wait for the competition to be held.

I remember what Gundogan said regarding his disappointment that his team's squad lacked a strong and solid mentality. he said the comparison between Barcelona and City, which had a strong mentality even though his team had fallen behind at first. Gundohan said that on the occasion when Barcelona suffered defeat at that time, and seeing the conditions in the squad dressing room was very worrying. in fact, Xavi confirmed what Gundohan said at that time. so, I tried to interpret it personally, if Barcelona's problems are not only related to injured players. however, their mentality and self-confidence are less solid. even though in terms of depth, Barcelona has competitive players. apart from that, IMO, Xavi has not succeeded in maximizing his system and strategy with the available players. in fact, even though Gavi has to be absent for an unspecified period of time, Barcelona can still optimize the available players. Xavi still has Gundohan who is rich in experience, mentality and an established player. De Jong, is one of the keys to Xavi's squad. Yamal, he could develop a lot if given lots of opportunities. Felix, a player who is willing to work hard even though he has not yet reached his playing level. plus, the other players have quality and maturity in their game. so, now for me, Xavi has to maximize and process his squad so that it returns to its true track. as for Lewa, the ups and downs in his performance are very normal, especially since he has just recovered from an injury. so, Xavi must maximize and implement the ideal system and strategy. thus, Barcelona still has a chance to compete with the teams above them. BTW, last night's match was really fortunate for Barcelona, ​​who in the end were awarded a penalty point which Gundohan was able to make good use of. next, Xavi must review his team's weaknesses.

These two teams have always been a theme in our discussions in the Europa League competition so far, although this is very natural because both of them are in their best performance and are at the top of the standings in their respective Domestic Leagues. but as I said, so far we have only assumed and speculated. after all, the playoffs haven't been held yet, and which team will be the challenger for these two teams in the future? statistically, both Liverppol and Leverkusen have performed impressively and they deserve and deserve to be favorites to become champion candidates or even enter the final round of the Europa League later. unfortunately, in football it is unique. sometimes, even a strong team can be overthrown by a team that is not at all superior. apart from that, both Liverpool and Leverkusen have their main priority, namely their domestic league. if both of them have a tight schedule, there will automatically be rotations made by the coaches. whether it's Klopp or Alonso, one of them will be prioritized more. after all, several other teams won't just give up, let alone a team that dropped out of the Champions League. for me, whichever team ends up in the final, it is hoped that they will put on a match that is interesting, entertaining, tense, exciting and also worth enjoying and watching. for the rest, let's just enjoy every match presented in this competition, especially the playoff round matches.

Before Neymar Jr and Mitrovic joined Al Hilal, Jorge Jesus already had a pretty solid squad. after Neymar joined, he did not immediately play because he was still injured. then, Al Hilal also brought in Bono and Mitrovic.but before that, Malcom played quite well as a center forward in Jorge Jesus' squad. since Mitrovic is a pure sticker specialist, Malcom's position has been shifted to playing on the wing or attacking midfielder. well, Nemyar has recovered, he is expected to further sharpen Al Hilal with his presence. in his first debut and third match, Neymar played impressively and made Al Hilal's game even sharper. even though in his 3 matches Neymar was unable to score a goal, he contributed two assists. and in the end, bad luck befell this Brazilian player because he suffered an injury while defending his national team. in the end, the club decided to drop him only for this season. with the scenario, Al Hilal wants to bring in one defender to strengthen their defense line. overall before Neymar made his debut and was injured, Al Hilal had made good progress in the hands of Jorge Jesus.

But now, Al Hilal has Motrovic who is ready to compete with Rolnaldo even in terms of scoring goals. 3 goals difference with Ronaldo, it is not impossible that Mitrovic will overtake him in the matches he will play with Al Hilal. so, Ronaldo has competitors in this regard. as for the course of this competition, although it could be said that Al Hilal is on fire and it seems that it will be difficult for the teams under it to compete closely, including Al Nassr. professionally, like it or not, Al Nassr will continue to work as best as possible until this season ends. and if Al Hilal slips in 3 of their matches, Al Nassr is able to win their matches. then this competition will have tight competition. after all, there are still a lot of matches left and we'll just follow developments.

To be honest, even though Michel has been successful so far in bringing Girona to compete at the top of La Liga, his performance has not proven to be competitive. I mean, it's not certain that he can handle a team as big as Bayern Munich. how can we judge him in just half a season, especially since he has never managed a big club as far as I know. also, how Girona has been able to go this far cannot be separated from the schedule they have. I mean, Michel only focuses on La Liga. meanwhile, other competitions, namely the Copa del Rey, do not take up the time and energy of the team as a whole. the question is, is this a promotion carried out by Pepe Giarodola for his coach.

I remember that the Union Berlin coach, Urs Fisher, was able to bring his squad together last season, because their schedule was not too busy. in this season, he was unable to improve his squad and even destroyed it in his own hands. the same situation could happen to the Girona coach. after all, Tuchel still has a long time to make his squad much stronger, and Bayern Munich can't be said to have failed yet. the reason is, they have many matches to reduce the difference in points from Bayer Leverkusen. apart from that, Bayern has a competitive squad. at the start of the season, Bayern was less consistent because goalkeeper Sven Ulreich was not very reliable. after Neuer returned to being the main goalkeeper, his performance has not yet reached a stable level. naturally, maybe he needs some adjustments to return to his performance. and if Tuchel's position is threatened, the most suitable and ideal candidate is Xabi Alonso. yeah, at least this is from my point of view.

That is why currently PSG's philosophy is changing from mega star projects, to focusing more on young talent players. you can see that the current PSG players are dominated by young players. some of the players are established players such as Dembele, Mbappe, Asensio, and several other players who are talents who need to further develop their skills and stability. in midfield, only Carlos Soler and Fabian Ruiz are 27 years old. even then, they rarely enter Luis Enrique's starting eleven. on his side are only young players, who need to hone their talents and abilities. for the defense line, PSG still retains several senior players. at least, so that this team is not filled with an easy squad as a whole. however, I am quite sure that some of the old players will soon leave PSG. it could be this January, or next summer.

So, it would be unfair to expect PSG to perform optimally and impressively in the Champions League, especially this season. at the very least, Enrique needs time to implement his system and find the ideal player. if not in January, it's likely that Enrique will be more serious next summer. especially, in terms of bringing in some newcomers. and if we want to see PSG's current progress, give Enrique 2-3 seasons to make this team equal to other strong teams in the Champions League. even then, if Enrique is still employed by PSG for quite a long period of time. just imagine looking at PSG's current squad and condition, we are well aware that their chances of competing in the Champions League competition are very slim. so, ideally for now PSG is prioritizing the Ligue 1 trophy. Even in the Champions League, Enrique will only try his best to take his team as far as possible. if they qualify for the round of 16, it will be progress for PSG with a squad that is not yet strong and established at all. so, don't get your hopes up that PSG will be able to perform well in the Champions League.

To be sure, we all realize that there are other team contestants who are more worthy and promising than Barcelona. moreover, as we know, currently Barcelona is being hit by injuries to several of its core players. the absence of Gavi, Ter Stegen, had quite an impact on the team's strength. moreover, Inaki Pena is a young goalkeeper who still needs a lot of flying hours. that's why its performance is really very fluctuating. besides, no one cares even if Xavi is fired in the end. that's why, Xavi should be able to improve the performance and quality of his players. the problem is, Xavi has not found the ideal formula for his squad. plus, the front line players are having problems scoring goals. even though in every Barcelona match, they or Lewandowski always have a chance. unfortunately, currently his instincts and sharpness have decreased slightly. there are many factors, one of which is age which cannot be denied.

Apart from that, the system can also be an obstacle for players to explore their talents and abilities. Xavi should have many options with his plans if his team experiences problems. unfortunately, Barcelona is hampered by financial problems which make it difficult for them to recruit the players the team really needs. apart from that, Barcelona's defense line is currently vulnerable to conceding goals. as a coach, Xavi has a lot of work to improve his squad. but at least, now Barcelona has Vitor Roque. although in reality, we don't yet know how great this player is. at least someone can be a backup for Lewandowski, and one of Barcelona's problems can be solved.

Speaking of Napoli, this team is both in a bad condition. it could be said, Napoli is more unstable. in the next match, Napoli's advantage is as the home team. so, I still support Barcelona, ​​especially since this team is our favorite team. as for winning the Champions League trophy, don't expect Barcelona to be able to do it. just qualifying for the last eight is more than enough.

Currently, the name Xabi Alonso is a hot topic of conversation among football fans with what he is doing with Bayer Leverkusen. not only that, several top clubs are interested in his services. apart from Real Madrid before Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract, now Bayern Munich has included him on their list if Thuchel does not meet expectations or fails to win the title for Bayern Munich. just imagine, if Xabi Alonso was able to win two titles at once, namely the Bundesliga and the Europa League. automatically teams that are having problems, especially top teams, will compete to use his services.
for me, Xabi's career is still quite long in the world of coaching, he also still needs a lot of experience to become a truly competent coach. most importantly, Xabi must be able to become a leader in the dressing room of the team he coaches. because most problems occur in the players' changing room. that's why, for me, Xabi needs to re-explore his abilities, firmness and discipline. in the end, he will find the difference when coaching Leverkusen and a much top team. usually, star players will have big egos, some of which are even difficult to manage. if Xabi is unable to be a firm leader in the dressing room, then when he trains a top team various obstacles will arise that he will have to face.

For example, like Carlo Ancelotti, who is ideal as a coach who has a leadership spirit and charisma that is respected by his team. as for Klopp, the Liverpool owner will always try to keep him at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp is a coach who, unlike other coaches, always has many demands on club management. moreover, as we know, Liverpool owners are very stingy when it comes to buying players who are quite expensive. because of Klopp, he can maximize existing players and try to make cheap players into great ones. naturally, Liverpool will keep him. the question is, when will Klopp leave Liverpool. if so, it would be a big loss to lose a coach as intelligent as Jurgen Klopp.

It cannot be denied that Arsenal played badly in the last four matches without getting full points, Arteta even said this after Arsenal played the match against Fulham. Arteta said we were careless with the ball and that wasn't good enough, we didn't even deserve to win. at least, Arteta is aware of the conditions and problems within his squad. last season was yesterday, this season is what they're aiming for. it doesn't matter even if Arsenal are a few points behind, after all there are still many games left to compete for trophies this season. most importantly, Arteta knows what he has to do and what he needs. the opportunity is still there, the problem is now with the Gunners and Arteta as Arsenal's architect. also, I still have faith that the young Gunners squad will get back on track. the point is, The Gunner must win every match again, especially overthrowing City and Liverpool. thus, the competition for the trophy is getting closer to them.

As for Aston Villa, it was unexpected that Unai Emery would be able to bring his squad to 2nd place in the standings. but it is only a matter of time for City and Arsenal to take over or become top of the standings again.
for me, the one with the most potential is City. since De Bruyne suffered an injury, Pep has always tried to do a lot of experiments. now is the time for Pep to bring City back to the way it was last season. they just need to be consistent and overthrow their opposing teams, especially teams that are above their ranking. City has a chance for that, and this will be a problem for Liverpool to maintain its ranking so that it is not taken over by another team. the point is, the Premier League still has a lot of matches left. and every team, especially those competing in the top four, will try to do their job well. and it seems that this season the Premier League will be even more exciting and interesting.

On paper, Barcelona should be able to win this match, even though several of their players have to be absent because they are still injured. apart from Barcelona being superior in terms of odds, based on H2H meetings between these two teams, Las Palmas always has difficulty overthrowing Barcelona. whether it's away or home, and the last meeting between these two teams was in 2018. However, based on performance, Xavi Hernandez's squad is currently not playing well. in the last 5 matches they played, Barca suffered 1 defeat, 2 draws and 2 wins even though they had to work hard to get it. in this match, there is an opportunity for Barcelona to show another good game and further improve their performance. moreover, Barcelona has a few problems in the defense line which is a little prone to conceding goals, and the front line is having problems creating goals even though they always have lots of opportunities. unfortunately, Xavi Hernandez's squad sometimes finds it difficult to get up and get out of the problems that occur within the team. in this match, it should be an opportunity for Barcelona.
To be honest, I actually wanted to watch Vitor Roque's debut, but it looks like he can't be played yet and at least needs to adapt.

As for the home team, their last 5 matches are not too different from what happened to Barcelona. however, in the last two matches Las Pamas drew against Cadiz and lost to Ath.Bilbao. of course, this match will be tough for Garcia Pimientra's squad even though Barcelona is in an unstable condition. it seems, betting on Barcelona with odds @1.50 is the ideal choice. at a minimum, Barca is able to score one goal. in essence, I want to assess and see more about what Barcelona will show in this match.

Basically we cannot avoid anything that happens in our lives, one example is as you describe in this thread. in short, sometimes we can't avoid hiding the habits we often do, one of which is gambling. there are times when we try to cover up our habits, but in the end the people closest to us find out. well, haven't we experienced this situation regardless of gambling or not?

Now we are talking in a gambling context, there are many people close to me who don't know that I like to gamble. so far, everything is normal and there are no obstacles or problems whatsoever. there are also a few people who know that I like to gamble, and that doesn't matter to me, we even have normal relations without anyone putting each other in a corner. there are also some people who don't need to know that I like to gamble. for example, my children and my parents. why, yeah, so they don't worry about what I'm doing. avoid negative thoughts about gambling. for my children, it's not time for them to know something they shouldn't know. the point is, we have to sort and choose according to our portions.

Referring to the case of this thread, I tried to put myself in a situation like the one you experienced, in fact I wouldn't mind if someone thought negatively about what I did, whatever it is, it's their right to judge it and I also have the right not to care, let alone  have to explain it. for me, gambling is something that is private. except, if we play it with friends of the same frequency. the point is that I don't have to harm anyone, let alone my family, and I spend money from my own pocket, without having to bother other people. as long as it is still possible and remains in the right context. I don't need to worry about anything, and I don't need to explain anything. for me, it's that simple.

yeah, Martingale. a system or method that is commonly used or applied by most gamblers. in fact, we have reviewed the Martingale method in many threads on the community, but most of us consider this system to be ineffective. in fact, we can apply this system or method in our gambling, but we don't have to double the bet every round. therefore, it would be very dangerous and risky. the danger is, if we don't have good control, angry emotions will affect our psychology and ultimately the game will get out of control. the risk is, if we are in an annoying situation, aka we are in unlucky mode. 10 rounds in betting folds, does not rule out the possibility of all losing.

At this point, a person will be in a phase of dilemma, anxiety, loss of concentration and filled with doubt. that's why, this technique is not recommended for beginners, especially those who don't have long experience in gambling. be it when playing blackjack, baccarat, roulette, or other games. well, since I rarely use this technique, plus the game I mentioned. so, I no longer involve the martingale technique. if someone still uses this technique in their gambling, everything is fine as you say. also, there is no 100 percent guarantee as you also said. however, these techniques can be combined according to the situation and circumstances when we play. also remember, don't get carried away by emotions and stick to the concept that we are just playing for fun. if we lose, just think we're unlucky. if you win, we can consider it as getting a bonus from something fun.

So far, Arsenal owner Kroenke has poured a lot of spending money into Arteta's needs, and Arteta is even reportedly hunting for several names in the middle of this season to add to the strength of his squad. in particular, some names are positioned as pure stickers. recently I read a rumor or gossip, that the potential target is Ivan Toney. apart from that, there are two other names, namely Dustan Vlahovic and Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface. of the three names of these players, I prefer Victor Boniface. even if he joins Arsenal, his career will shine even more and at the same time test his ability to play in the Premier League. unfortunately, if the rumors are true, an agreement like this in the middle of the season will be difficult to achieve, considering Leverkusen's status as contenders for the Bundesliga title this season.

Well, what Arteta and Edu are doing to improve the performance of their team's squad and achieve the targets they are aiming for. which means, if Arteta fails and is only able to bring Arsenal to finish in the top four of the Premier League. then his career seems to be at stake, because I'm sure that Arsenal owner Kroenke wants the Premier League trophy. that's why, he is willing to support Arteta with what he needs. so, in the next matches Arteta's task will be even tougher and will have quite high challenges. he must return his squad to its true performance and at the same time, add strength to his front line. therefore, I am quite sure that Arteta will bring in a pure striker who is able to answer the team's needs as a goal getter. that doesn't mean Gabriel Jesus isn't good, but Arsenal need more than that if they want to win trophies this season. as for Nketiah, it looks like he will leave. however, we'll just see Arsenal's development and what Arteta will do.

I will just add to what you said, if we believe too much in the results of expert predictions or always refer to sports pundits or something like that. this will not make us develop with the potential we have and not be more confident in developing our own abilities in how to gamble well, analyze, research, study, develop and enjoy it. even though our main goal is to have fun, developing knowledge is very important even in a gambling context. it's true, everything will always be related to luck. but if we don't explore ourselves, and don't learn from experience, especially if we don't involve insight and knowledge, it's the same as something unpleasant. yeah, in my personal opinion.

Simply put, referring to gambling experts actually has many benefits. we will get a lot of knowledge that we didn't know before, not just the prediction results. because, there are many points that experts sometimes discuss. this is also important for us, to gain broader insight. which in the end we can predict it ourselves, research it, analyze it, and also involve insight and if necessary also involve instinct. if someone has carried out the process in such a way, then the fun thing about gambling is not just the match. for me, this process is just as fun as watching a match and involving betting. and sometimes, many people don't understand the meaning of pleasant things. in fact, the essence of fun is very broad if we understand it. one of them is entertaining, enjoying the research process, etc, even though in reality we never know the final results before or after. and for me, this is my version of gambling.

It seems like this battle was quite exciting, producing 5 goals in the first half. it was really unexpected that Girona could provide resistance to Alteltico Madrid in this match. even though based on H2H meetings between these two teams, from 3 matches Girona was unable to beat Atletico Madrid. in this match, it looks like the match is quite balanced based on statistics. even though several of Atletico Madrid's defenders didn't play well enough, they conceded and conceded 3 goals to Girona. while Diego Simeone's squad tried to keep up with the home team, and tried hard to reduce the position. Alvaro Morata managed to score two goals, and the temporary score for the first half was 3-2.

By the way, I didn't expect this match to produce many goals. especially when referring to the predicted composition of ATM players with the pattern 5-4-1, or 5-4-2. in this match, Siemone changed his pattern to 3-1-4-2, but it seemed that ATM lost the first goal by conceding quickly in the 2nd minute. now, the second half of the match has started and we will see whether Altetico can equalize and even make a comeback. or, Girona will increase their number of goals and become a winning match for Michel's squad. if so, it means that Girona is able to break Atletico Madrid's dominance. my estimate in the previous post was that Ateltico would win this match.

And yeah, ATM just equalized to 3-3 with a goal scored again by Morata. looks like there will be more goals from these two teams. well, let's just follow it because this match still has enough time.

If I'm not mistaken, Al Hilal wants to increase its slots for defensive players. but so far, I haven't heard any further development of this rumor. but what is certain is that Neymar has been dropped from the list this season, meaning that Al Hilal is serious about bringing in a new player from Europe. I tried to interpret the hopes of Al Hilal management that their squad would be more complex and competitive. starting from the goalkeeper, defense line, midfielders and also their strikers. and so far, Al Hilal is quite calm in its position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. in fact, it's still too soon to predict that Al Hilal will win the Saudi Pro League trophy this season, even Al Hilal management is still thinking about bringing in a newcomer to replace the slot filled by Neymar. which means, they don't want anything undesirable to happen. that's why Al Hilal has prepared its squad as ready as possible. moreover, this team is a squad that has a winning mentality.

As for Benzema, it's a shame that his presence in this competition doesn't get much attention. I can understand it from the start, starting from the previous Al Ittihad coach and the lack of equal service to help him when building attacks and breaking down the opposing team's goal. maybe what happens to the Al Ittihad squad will be a consideration for the club in bringing in the players they need. another unique thing is Firmino, when he debuted he was able to score a hat-trick. but so far he has not been able to score another goal, even though Firmino doesn't always play badly. to be honest, I don't know why he is having problems, or maybe Firmino is having difficulty adapting. despite all that, currently Al Hilal is still firmly at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.
