Yes, very positive support from CR7 fans at the Arab club. And it is thanks to the support from his fellow teammates that CR7 is still driven and highly motivated and allows him to maintain his good performance this season. But age still cannot be fooled. His stamina will definitely decrease from season to season. But it is really amazing to see a 38 year old player who will even be 39 next month but he can still play the full time in every match. Very rarely is he withdrawn from the field. In fact, usually players who are not young will definitely play with limited time due to stamina problems. But CR7 is very different. He is still able to play full time. But sometimes he is absent from matches that are considered not that important. And that proves that he is no longer young. Even though he often plays full time, he still has to take time off for several matches to recover his body.

In the first half, Chelsea managed to get 1 goal through a penalty kick. And I think luck is on Chelsea's side in this match. But in the second half, maybe Fullham could have tried to make the score equal. Because so far the performance of the two still looks quite balanced. It's just that Chelsea looks more confident this time. They managed to press Fullham's defense quite intensively. And it's possible that the second half of the game won't be boring. Because I expect both teams to be more aggressive. And Chelsea must not feel calm by having a 1 goal advantage. They have to try harder to score 1 more goal.

For the Newcastle vs Man City match, I will still favorite Man City. Because Newcastle will definitely have difficulties even though they are hosts. De Bruyne probably won't start but I hope he is given more playing time. And Haaland also seems to need time to fully recover. Because based on confirmation from Pep Guardiola, it seems that Erling Haaland, John Stones and Manuel Akanji still have to be given time to recover. But I think they will be back in the near future.

It is difficult to determine who will be superior in this match. Because Mallorca and Celta Vigo basically have the same performance. But Mallorca being the host in this match can also be a consideration for those who want to bet on Mallorca.

Head to head, Mallorca also quite often beats Celta Vigo in away matches. And we can also see that in the last 2 meetings, Mallorca was always able to beat Celta Vigo. So I think Mallorca is unmistakably the favorite in this match. So I personally have made the choice to bet on Mallorca.


But right now I feel that the most difficult match to predict is the Bilbao vs Real Sociedad match. Because head to head, both of them took turns winning matches in the last 2 meetings.
It's just that in the last 2 meetings the host always won. Like Bilbao winning when hosting. And Real Sociedad also won when they hosted. And because today's match is Bilbao being the host, I will bet on Bilbao.

The increase in Bitcoin prices did occur when several Bitcoin ETFs were approved and the increase began to be more visible when the Spot Bitcoin ETF started to open. But not long after that the price of bitcoin continued to fall. Even as I write this the price of bitcoin has fallen to 45,300usd. And yes, maybe some people think this is strange. But actually this is normal because a lot of people have been buying since before the Bitcoin Spot ETF was approved by Sec. maybe people have been accumulating btc since Blackrock is still preparing the application to create the spot Bitcoin ETF. So it is not surprising that now there will be many holders who will actually sell their bitcoin holdings after bitcoin touched 49,000 USD. And then panic selling followed and arrived at the current price. In fact, I see that the price decline this time could also be made to wipe out the Long positions that have accumulated in the Future Market. I don't know whether this is Whales' doing or not. But the market seems to have naturally reacted like now. Because Bitcoin will definitely rise but naturally and slowly.

Of course Atletico Madrid will definitely be better prepared for the next derby in the Copa Del Rey. Because Atletico Madrid will also have the home advantage in this match. And if it turns out that Atletico Madrid wins the match on Copa Del Rey then that will make everything even more interesting. Because 2 weeks after that these two teams will meet again in Laliga. Maybe at the third meeting the atmosphere on the field will get hotter.

But don't forget that in 3 days we will also see a more exciting match. Namely the Supercopa de Espana Final match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona. The El Classico match will definitely show a match that is as aggressive as yesterday's Derby match between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. Maybe this will even be more exciting. But currently El Classico is not as lively as when there were Messi and CR7. I really miss those times.

Copenhagen last season was in the same group as Man City in the UCL group stage, namely in Group G. And in Copenhagen's first meeting with Man City, the match ended with a very big score, namely 5-0, with Man City winning. And I think this time will not be much different. Namely, Man City will succeed in beating Copenhagen again very smoothly. Without any significant difficulties. Moreover, now De Bruyne has also returned to playing which will make Man City return to their best performance. Haaland is also expected to be back playing when the round of 16 starts.

But in the first leg, because Copenhagen is the host, Man City probably won't be able to score many goals. Because last season Man City was held to a draw when they came to Copenhagen headquarters. But then in the second leg Man City will go crazy in front of their own supporters.

There is no doubt that Man City will win and progress from the last 16. Because Man City definitely wants to experience lifting the same trophy as last season.

Every match that Chelsea will face will definitely raise doubts from everyone. In fact things have become more difficult to predict. Because it is difficult for us to expect Chelsea to suddenly return to their best performance. Because every time we expect Chelsea to play well and win the match then all we get is disappointment.

The match against Fullham will indeed be a match that is very difficult to predict. But if we look at Chelsea normally then this match should make Chelsea the favorite. Because Chelsea is the host of the match. and in terms of standings, Chelsea is above Fullham. which Chelsea should still be better than Fullham. But I consider Fullham starting to rise after seeing Fullham able to beat Arsenal. But at that time Fullham was the host. And this time the conditions were different because Chelsea was the host.

I might have to consider keeping Chelsea as favourites. But I also still have doubts about this. But it is also very difficult to try to favorit Fullham who are playing away from home.

Regarding Karim Benzema who was reported missing, it seems that the news media is exaggerating too much. Because based on the news I read, it was stated that "Benzema went to Madrid for special circumstances, he asked for three days off and the club agreed." And this was said by the club director who did not want to be named.

And we know that the SPL and Arabian leagues are on holiday for one month until February. So it was only natural that Benzema took advantage of this moment to take a few days off to go to Madrid for personal matters he had to complete.

Al-ittihad is indeed the most enthusiastic in targeting European players in this transfer market. In fact, the club's approach to the players was also carried out from the start or before the transfer market opened. I like this club in this regard. And talking about players from Atletico Madrid, it seems that Angel Correa is not the only one being targeted by Arab clubs.

There is also Mario Hermoso who is being targeted by Al-Nassr. But Al-Nassr doesn't seem to be in a rush to bring in this player. Because reportedly Al-Nassr will wait for this player to finish his contract at Atletico Madrid which will end at the end of the current season, namely 2024.

Well, Benzema has performed quite well so far at Al-ittihad. It's just that he hasn't fully adapted to Al-ittihad. Because not all players can adapt quickly to a new club. Moreover, there are many differences between Arab and European clubs. Both in the rhythm of the game and the weather of the place. So some European players definitely need time to adapt to all of this. Even Sadio Mane at Al-Nassr didn't immediately perform well. It's just that Mane is lucky to have CR7 at Al-Nassr who has also adapted there and of course can help Mane adapt more quickly. Meanwhile at Al-ittihad all the European players there were also brought in at almost the same time as Benzema. So everyone still needs time to build good chemistry with fellow players. I am sure that in the second season Benzema can be more productive. Because CR7 also did better things in his second season with Al-Nassr.

Real Madrid did have a greater number of attacks because they dominated the match very well and took advantage of every opportunity well. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid played by prioritizing attacking effectiveness. They lost in possession of the ball but in terms of attack effectiveness, Atletico Madrid was no less good than Real Madrid.

The 8 goals scored in this match really made those of us who watched it not get bored. And I'm sure many people won in betting on this match.

We must not miss the meeting of these two teams this month or next week in the Copa Del Rey. Because I'm sure the match will be more exciting. Because Diego Simeone will definitely not let his team lose in front of its own supporters. Because at the next meeting Atletico Madrid will be the host.

But based on the news I read two days ago, it was stated that Mbappe had agreed to move to Real Madrid at the end of the season after his contract expired at PSG. I hope the news is true. And actually news about this has also been made in more news media. And one of them is the one I read. But last season the same news circulated, but the difference was that last season the news only contained speculation according to the news media. But in this news, comments from Mbappe himself are also mentioned which make it look very real. And I hope it's real and actually happens. So Real Madrid has a great striker again at last.

But I also feel that PSG will not let him go that easily. so the drama about Mbappe will probably continue. And the answer will be at the end of the season.

It was one of the best Derby matches at the start of the year. Even though Atletico Madrid lost that match, I still feel they lost with great honor. Because after all, Atletico Madrid has put up very strong resistance which even kept the score level in normal time. Both teams have played very well and were very aggressive from the start. And these two teams really played like they were in a UCL match. Well, this match really wasn't boring from the start to the end.

And Atletico Madrid might be able to avenge their defeat in this match in the near future. Because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid again in the 16th round of the Copa Del Rey. And I hope this match will be as exciting as the last match.

Maybe some people will think that Pochettino was unable to return Chelsea to good form and therefore he can be blamed. But I'm sure some people will think differently and understand Pochettino. Due to the decline in performance that occurred at Chelsea, it was even difficult for Tuchel to overcome and then he was fired and replaced by Potter. And the result is still the same. Then Lampard came along and couldn't cope either. Now Pochettino takes over and yeah the results are still the same. So I think there are other problems besides coaching. To be honest, I am quite disappointed with Chelsea's player purchases. Young players are really good. But still, a team also needs a balance of experienced players. In fact, to be honest, I am disappointed with Chelsea who don't use Lukaku and instead loan him out every season to clubs in Serie A. Todd Boehly this season has been very patient. He gave Pochettino a long opportunity. In fact I doubt Pochettino will be fired at the end of the season. Unless Chelsea really gets worse and is almost relegated. Because actually rebuilding strength in the Chelsea squad takes longer than expected. And I hope they compete for Europe's best striker in the upcoming transfer market after the season ends.

By seeing how Chelsea played in the last match, I am increasingly convinced that Chelsea will also fail in the EFL Cup. Even if in the second leg they can turn things around and qualify for the final. But facing Liverpool will definitely be very difficult for Chelsea with their current performance. But Chelsea will be lucky if Liverpool lose so shockingly to Fullham today.

But Liverpool should have won today's match against Fullham. Because the strength levels of the two are also clearly different. Unless Klopp decides not to prioritize the EFL Cup and not play with their main players. So of course Fullham has a chance to win.

You are right that in Laliga they have a match that will be very easy for them to win because the opponent they will face is also not a top team. But what we will face are teams struggling in the relegation zone. So both of them should have shed all their strength in this derby match. Without having to worry too much about Laliga.

I hope both of them fight with full strength. Because if you don't fight with full strength it will only make the fight more difficult to predict. Meanwhile, if both of them compete at full strength from the start then I would actually bet on Real Madrid without hesitation. And I hope that many goals will be scored in this match.

But there is one interesting thing if we look at the history of the meeting between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. Because at the last meeting it turned out that Atletico Madrid came out as winners. And in the last 5 meetings we can also see that these two teams appear to have the same strength. Because of these 5 meetings, both teams each got 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw. Which means that this match will also determine who is the superior this time. Real Madrid might seek revenge for their defeat at the start of this season in Laliga. But Atletico Madrid will probably only think about winning again like in the previous meeting. But currently Real Madrid is in very good condition. Because Vini Jr has also returned. So Real Madrid will definitely fight with full strength.

In the Semi Final of the Supercopa de Espana, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid and yes, Real Madrid must be the favorites in this match. In fact, I hope there will be a very aggressive match in this match from both teams. And I hope both teams score goals in this match. Because I always feel bored with matches that don't produce many goals. And usually Atletico Madrid is the type of club that is always aggressive in making attacks and creating goals and so does Real Madrid. So this match will definitely not be boring.

After this match, the following week the two teams will meet again in the round of 16 at the Copa Del Rey. And this match will definitely be a revenge match for the team that lost in today's match. 

Dominating a match is not always good if you can't score goals. And a team that does not dominate the game but has good observation in finding gaps in the opponent and then makes attacks with a good level of accuracy and scores goals is the best. Chelsea they are indeed playing well but they are still bad at making the final solution of every attack they build. So Chelsea's defeat did not surprise many people because they were already in a condition that many people did not expect this season. Their inconsistent conditions have really made other people watching always skeptical about the matches they are playing. And yes, in the end their defeat was not so disappointing because some people had expected something like this.

But Pochettino in this case also cannot be blamed because strategically we can see that the Chelsea squad has been able to penetrate the opponent's defense well. And many opportunities have been created but they just failed to take advantage of the opportunities they had.

Things will get more difficult in the round of 16. So that all teams that qualify for the round of 16 will definitely make as thorough a preparation as possible. And what every team that already has a very high quality core team can do is that they have to look after their mainstay players to avoid injury. Because even though we have many great players, if in the end these great players have to be absent due to injury then this will definitely be very detrimental to the team.

Player transfers were carried out to anticipate this. And indeed several clubs already have new agreements with the players they bring in. But most teams are still in the negotiation stage with the potential players they are approaching. I hope all the teams are at their best when the round of 16 begins.

Currently, De Bruyne has returned and immediately made a big contribution in last match against Huddersfield in the FA CUP by making 1 assist. And in that match Man City was able to win with a very big score, namely 5-0. In this match, there was visible development and increased sharpness in Man City's attacks. Maybe because they only played against clubs that weren't too strong. Because when Man City plays in the EPL, we all know that Man City still can't give their best without Haaland. So it is natural that all Man City fans will really miss Haaland. Because in big matches, only Haaland is able to make Man City's attack line very deadly. For small matches, maybe other forward players can do it too. But in EPL and UCL matches Haaland is really needed. I haven't found out when Haaland will return. Although previously there had been news circulating that Haaland had also recovered. But I haven't had time to read the latest news regarding its development.
