Personally, I do not believe Zidane is interested in coaching the French national team, as I think that he would be better off working as a manager for a club in my opinion, rather than coaching the French national team. In fact, he has proven that he is an excellent club coach while he was at Real Madrid, as he helped them win the Champions League multiple times during his time there. Another thing is that coaching an international team is a hectic job because the coaches do not get to train the players far enough time to bring out the best tactic.

It seems that Eder Militao is not suitable to play on the right wing, even though he didn't make any fatal mistakes in that game either. Real Madrid did not play better than Villarreal, causing them to lose, plus Real Madrid's defense was not so strong against attacks. Villarreal started pressing from the early minutes, so that Real Madrid had difficulty keeping up with Villarreal's game, Penalties Gerard Moreno in the 63rd minute put Real Madrid under even more pressure.

Barcelona has the opportunity to widen three points from Real Madrid, but in my opinion Barcelona will not be easy because they will travel to Atletico Madrid headquarters. If Barcelona play like they did against Espanyol, it's not impossible that they will suffer a defeat like that felt by Real Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane has newly turned down an offer by United States. I'm not surprised at all.

Because he hasn't been thinking of being the manager of any club for a long time. To be honest it would be better to see him managing a club in Europe rather than a national team. I remember his successes with Real Madrid very well. They had great a few years with Zidane full of Champions League championships as well. It is impressive to watch a tactician like Zidane to manage a big team. Maybe it wouldn't be Real Madrid again but I wouldn't say no to a different big team this time.

There are reports that Manchester United are interested in Vincent Aboubakar but I don't know if they are serious about it. They are trying to transfer a football player from the team where Ronaldo is a transfer. I don't know if this could be a psychological move or if I'm thinking about too many unnecessary details. I think this is interesting news. On the other hand, Manchester United need a striker transfer but I don't think Vincent Aboubakar can handle that level because he has generally been successful in easier leagues. Even in Porto, he did not succeed. I think the English Premier League and Manchester United might be a bit of a challenge for him.

Manchester united will absolutely do everything to win this match, the players absolutely didn't forget the humiliation of the first match when city destroyed theme with whole 6 goals, players will do everything to get their revenge or at least avoid losing again, this will be a good opportunity for arsenal to extend the gap again

It's a bit embarrassing to see some Manchester United fans underestimating Xavi Hernandez and Barcelona in the Europa League Competition coming ahead all because Manchester United has been in a good form.for the past weeks ?
I hope they don't get this into them head and skulls as it's football, the least expected is all that would happen. Although, big win tonight, David De Gea should have done better than what he did.

Good game reading from Erik Ten Hag, but the removal of Casemiro saw all the flaw's, he's been a top gem for us, I wonder how it goes if he gets Injured, Fred impacted from the bench and kudos to Marcus Rashford for such great performance tonight, job beautifully done.

I hope to see a more organized and hurting Manchester United scoring kore goals and taking those chances.

Seeing from the result by juventus in the domestic league has been making nantes has almost zero chance to win against juventus. I think that if we shall also understand about nantes's achievements were so bad. that means if nantes will be facing a hurricane as juventus is starting to blow up again. Juventus has been discovering its true performance under allegri. I hope that juventus will be getting positive result as soon as possible. i think that people know that so well. Nantes will be losing against juventus. The gap is too big for now. i don't even expect nantes to make a score against juventus by seeing how bad the performance from nantes. Juventus was so lucky to get weak team as opponent. I pick juventus in this match. the result is clear.

Under the stewardship of Mourinho, Roma happens to have a good defense, as I think, but AC Milan has been responsible for two goals this season, so Roma may not be able to stand against them tomorrow. As Roma has not been able to break into the top four this season, it would be so hard to see that they overcome AC Milan at the San Siro tomorrow, January 8, 2023. As for Mourinho's ambition, let's see what he does best tomorrow for himself and his team.

A little doubtful that Chelsea will be easy against Dortmund, in fact Dortmund have not appeared very strong this season, but the current situation for these two teams is equally bad this season, this season Chelsea did not perform as well as when they won the champions league, significant changes have changed Chelsea this season, and since Chelsea under Tuchel's tutelage I think a lot of the team's performance has decreased.
Now Graham Potter has replaced Tuchel and wants to bring/revive Chelsea to the better, but what we've seen is not consistent improvement..

Maybe for this  season I doubt Chelsea will continue to the next round, Chelsea and Dortmund have a balanced percentage of winning their matches in the upcoming matches. In my opinion, in terms of improving the performance of the Chelsea team, they have to get new players who are good in material.
and with some injuries I think it will be difficult for Chelsea to beat Dortmund, unless luck is on Chelsea's side.

And again Real Madrid blew their chance to go top of the Spanish la liga by only playing out a draw against Villarreal today. Barcelona left the league top spot open for them by drawing yesterday and the couldn’t capitalize on it.

I think the Spanish football has really dropped down and since both Messi and Ronaldo left the league they haven’t been able to come close to that level of football.

Everyone is discussing how much Bayern is richer and stronger than all the other clubs in the Bundesliga. I think the words of Oliver Kahn, who spoke yesterday about Juventus and their financial frauds, are very suitable for this topic. The club should not spend more than it earns - a simple recipe that will cure football of both oil clubs and scammers. I hope that his words will be heeded and the rules for conducting financial affairs for clubs will be tightened.

Pogba's decline has been seen in recent seasons, especially after he spent a lot of time recovering from injuries. It does seem strange when players who can no longer show their best game and don't even contribute much to the team are still very valuable. Maybe there are other ratings for some people, but for me personally I don't find any advantages so the price is very expensive.

I highly doubt that De Gea would leave United. If they do not want to resign him then I would understand looking for other goalkepeers but Jack Butland is at most a bench player level, he is not unites main goalkeeper level talented player. I would highly suggest checking that Croatian goalkeeper, he made a name for himself at world cup, and should be cheap.

However, none of that should matter, De Gea would most possibly be ready for whatever they would offer and United could offer a decent money and they could keep him for another few years, a 3 year deal would be fine, he would be still at a good age when that's over and meanwhile they could look for someone younger to replace him.

Manchester United and Chelsea has joining the race to gets Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier and reported both of teams were interested to Meslier because they feel this player was performing well during play for Leed Uniteds but it won't be easy for them to gets him considering Meslier had long duration contract with Leeds until 2026 but if they insist probably Meslier will have expensive price however Manchester United and Chelsea had same mission why they want new goalkeepers especially Manchester United that after decide not to renew De Gea contract Ten Hag reported Manchester United will have new goalkeeper this winter likewise with Chelsea that they are required more goalkeepers after Mendy decide to leave this summer

There are actually a lot of options for pure striker options. however, Erik Ten Hag seems to be reviewing one that fits the team's current needs. after all, there were plenty of players who had been linked with the Red Devils before the transfer window started. one of them is Joao Felix, rumors are that Ten Hag is interested in this young Atletico striker.

there are also other names that are of concern to Erik Ten Hag, such as Marcus Thuram, Moukoko, Goncalo Ramos, plus, Cody Gakpo who was eventually recruited by Liverpool. other rumors, surprising plans that Manchester United will borrow one of the strikers from AC Milan namely Oliver Giroud. yes, the conditions faced by The Red Devils must force them to quickly hunt for several players in this January transfer window. the reason is, United cannot only rely on Marcus Rashford or Martial. like it or not, Ten Hag had to move quickly to sharpen their front line. plus, United also still need the services of an attacking midfielder.

IMO, it looks like Oliver Giroud or Joao Felix can be relied on to be pure strikers as the team needs at this time.

Chelsea is not included in the race for the title and Champions League ticket this season I don't see Chelsea having a way out of this situation at least until this season
Chelsea need refreshment in the team they can do it next season because there are more options for signing new players. Chelsea's main focus is the striker
from 17 matches they were only able to score 20 goals obviously that is a bad achievement.

You must know, Chelsea is a biggest club in career of Potter. It is a biggest challenge he has during his career and by now, I can not say Potter succeeds in Chelsea. In Chelsea, a coach will have to either win Premier League or Champions League and at least complete a season within top four. Beyond top four is a very bad result which can put a coach on fire anytime. They are rich, have high ambition and expect a lot from their coaches. Potter is nearly on fire now.

In Champions League, Chelsea and Potter will meet Dortmund in middle of February and it is still lucky for them. The opponent is Dortmund with their problems with performance and injuries. They are not too different than Chelsea so if Potter manages to help Chelsea recovers in next 5 weeks, they will have advantage to beat Dortmund.

It is a condition because currently both of these clubs have yet resolved their crises.

I don't see it that way, Thomas Tuchel never met Chelsea at its best state before accepting to stay, Lampard was already leading Chelsea to relegation but Tuchel came with a different energy and the club rose to a different height which later resulted in Chelsea winning the UEFA Champion League and later the club world cup. Manchester United has experienced a rejuvenation in the era of Ten Hag, even if it is in the Midseason or season-ending they can still catch up with whatever trophy they want.

It looks like Eddie Nketiah still needs stronger chemistry and bonds between players, he performed quite well in his two matches with The Gunners. unfortunately, Nketiah was unable to take advantage of the opportunities he had to convert them into goals during the Newcastle match. I'm pretty sure, Nketiah can be relied on on the front lines of The Gunners in the future. at least, Nketiah still needs time to become a sharp sticker.

Even so, Arsenal should have been able to overthrow Newcastle in yesterday's match, it's a shame they missed so many opportunities. but after all, Arsenal played full of high confidence and their mentality is getting more solid. Next, Arsenal will have an away game at the Spurs headquarters. I remain optimistic that the Gunners' young squad will continue their positive trend to widen the gap between the points with Manchester City.

on the other hand, I hope Mudryk will be brought in by Emirates Stadium soon.

I didn't think that Tottenham will perform so well in this match Crystal Palace vs Tottenham. I thought they might win the match with 2 goals. But Tottenham played so well with 4 goals that they won. Between these two teams, Crystal Palace and Tottenham, Tottenham team.  Very strong. Tottenham player H. Kane scored 2 goals alone in the match. H.  Kane played a fantastic game.

Liverpool is surely struggling in this season and having not near the Real Madrid for the match but as we know Champions League is completely different league with having too many unpredictable results and unknown winners things can change here for the Liverpool as well because they are doing good job and trying to have strong strategy which helps them for having better consistency in results Jürgen Klopp is also having good chemistry about this all hopefully they will be able to have their winning combination.

The coach of Newcastle United Eddie Howie have come out to speak regarding the clause in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract that will allow him go to Newcastle if they qualify for the champions League next season, According to Him he said he doesn't have an idea about that and that Ronaldo is a great player and he wishes him the best, but there is no such clause in Ronaldo's contract, he said this in the pre-match interview in the Arsenal Vs Newcastle game yesterday. Newcastle United are really doing great this season, loosing only to Liverpool at field, in there last 13 games they have won 8 frame 5 and are currently third on the log same point with Manchester United who have a game in hand.

Ibrahima Konate has into Real Madrid radar and they will attempts to hijack him from Liverpool although Konate has long duration contract with Liverpool until 2026 but Real Madrid are taking possibilities to bought him this summer and reported Ancelotti has been talk with Madrid management and this summer he want this player will arrived at Madrid however since arrived to Liverpool on summer 2021 Konate performance has been showed good progress and with Van Dijk he can performing well on Liverpool defense so it's not easy to gets him because i am sure Liverpool wouldn't sell him easily
