Yes, this should be a serious concern, where goals that are easily conceded should be immediately repaired because the goalkeeper or back line is not good. Looking at the match against Villareal yesterday, of course it is very regrettable, why is it so easy for Villarela to break through Barcelona's goal so easily with up to 5 goals, that is necessary really serious improvements, Xavi's resignation as coach actually disappointed the fans even though maybe for him the decision was right because he felt he had failed in several title races.

I think actually he didn't really fail because last season Barcelona managed to get the title in Laliga, only failure in several title races I think there is no problem because all of that requires a process that really takes time to make the team better, learn from failure so that it can to get better, it's a shame to hear that he will step down from Barcelona as coach even though I think Xavi is very suitable at Barcelona and I'm not sure there is another coach who can make Barcelona rise from adversity and it will certainly take much longer. whatever it is, the decision must be respected and yesterday's defeat must be corrected immediately because it is important to maintain their position in the top four of La Liga this season for Barcelona as well as the UCL which they will still play against Napoli later.
Barcelona have had quite an impressive Spanish cups journey and they were up against Betis some days ago and it was expected that no matter the condition they're in, they're given the higher odds of winning. Their games this second half of the season have been both good and bad. In all they've not failed to give an impressive performance. Sadly, yesterday wasn't so beautiful for them.

 Villarreal were a side that gave them a tough time and they had the experience too and were the host and so it was not so easy for Barcelona coupled with their shaky performances so far in all contests. Well their performance was quite remarkable and at least they were able to net a few goals too. The result of the game may have an effect on their confidence in subsequent games, but it's expected that Xavi should know how best to get good results as the league games draws the season to an end.

I don't think the Saudi league is very important, it's only heard about with transfers and that's it, personally I haven't heard anyone watching the Saudi league, it's a useless league for me.

I hope Sacha Boey will do well there, he contributed a lot to Galatasaray. I want Boey to be successful.
Boey was an asset in the Turkish League and definitely he'd have made more impact with them but it's just very safe and essential that he moves on to explore competitiveness too. Bayern Munich will definitely work well on him. It a good upgrade for his career and good for both parties, cause he'll make name for himself and also help the them to make progress, maybe he could be their miracle Jan signing.

 They've got good team set up and he definitely would learn more with them. Normally, the rate for his purchase was low considering how advantageous his skillset is but the country of play also has an effect too. Which is why the bid no matter the amount, as long as it's something tangible would be accepted. SPL wouldn't have been a good option and the best decision move to Munich was made which is actually all that matters.

I see on Wikipedia that Kloop started coaching in 2001 in Mainz youth team and will probably end his career with Liverpool in 2024. This means that he has been thinking for 23 years about how to produce a team that does not lose. So if maybe he was tired, it was a reasonable excuse. Maybe he feels bored with his current job. Achievements at Liverpool are also good, he managed to give 7 titles in 8 years with Liverpool. Maybe if at the end of this season he can get the championship it will be a phenomenal farewell.

About Xabi, i thing Liverpool must be work hard to get Xabi. In Leverkusen He is very accomplished. Although indeed rumors of closeness with Real Madrid have been answered, because Ancelotti extended a new contract, he will not go to Real Madrid. But going to Liverpool also seems a little difficult, but maybe it can happen.
23 years and still counting is really enough and worth taking a break from. Coaching a football club doesn’t seem pretty easy as it seem because you’ve got to devise new strategy weekly to get your club to always be on top, and also when things doesn't work out as plan, you'll also have to be prepared to handle the pressure and backlash from angry fans that could cause the board to terminate your contract.

 Jurgen though fallen short of this sometimes but most times have never failed to make sure his club comes out top. His stay at Liverpool has given the club 7 titles in 8 years and he could add one or 2 titles before his departure and that alone pens his name in the golden book of the club.Xabi to Liverpool seems somewhat possible but the board must be ready to work real hard to make this deal an accomplished one. He’s the best replacement to Klopp they could get and yes he’ll sure be a sweet addition to this Liverpool side.

Klopp clearly said that he is running out of energy, while Klopp did mention age and the toll of coaching on him, and his style of management is based on mainly energy. The idea that Klopp might be leaving on a high note that ensures that he is remembered for his successful tenure aligns with the notion of leaving at the peak of one's career. It's a sentiment shared by many in various professions who want to be remembered for their achievements and positive contributions.

Klopp's legacy at Liverpool has been remarkable, and the timing of his departure may indeed play a role in how fans and the football community remember him. It's also worth considering that personal factors can contribute to a coach's decision to step away from a position, irrespective of age. In the end, understanding the motivations behind a coach's decision can be complex, and Klopp's departure will likely be viewed through a combination of factors, including his desire to leave on a high and the acknowledgment of his own personal limits in managing the pressures of coaching at the highest level.
Liverpool has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet.

 This season, he's aiming for a number of trophies too, first when they take on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss would be charged to win again. The European contests too is there. He's been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel. The players he's worked with are definitely improving in their abilities too. Just like Pep in City, Klopp is been a savior to Liverpool and they'd definitely have to get to some greater heights before he exits the team soon.

Empoli was bad but juventus was playing even bad than empoli. Im not talking about the power owned by club but intermilan should be winning against it. This result is only adding another bad result for juventus. it was also really hurting the current standing of juventus caused by intermilan will be also far away from juventus.
Juventus's squad was not playing really well when it was imssing an important player. It was unnecessary foul from juventus's players. Im feeling so happy to see that juventus was doing it right. Empoli has been performing very well in this game.

It was able getting draw against the team that was performing even better than it. I do appreciate all of efforts from all of empoli's players and this is not the result wanted by bettors.
Im thinking that if allegri will be somad caused by his team has been missing very important match with only 1 point. Empoli must be feeling so happy caused by the club was able stealing 1 point from the strong club like juventus.

Old lady needs to make proper preparation till the end of season to make sure the same situation will not be happening again. i do appreciate all of work from empoli's players. They were showing amazing performance.
The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect player's physical capabilities too.

 Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. The team are using this season to put in more work to ensure a spot in next season's European cup tournament and they definitely would earn it. They've got good set of players, right squad combination and their coach is doing his best part and giving them the right tactical approach. I don't know if they've got choice of changes to make during the mid season transfer window but at this state now, Juventus are good to go to some extent only if extra energy wants to be pumped into the squad to increase their efficiency too.

Maybe you are wrong, Bayern Munich managed to win the title last season dramatically after Dortmund failed to win their last match by having the same points but Bayern Munich was ahead on Agg goals.

In terms of quality, I think Bayern Munich this season is better than last season, but this season they often cannot maintain their consistency and also on the other hand, their competitor this season is Leverkusen and the Leverkusen team has strength and consistency throughout this season so now they have managed to become leaders of the standings. while the Bundesliga.

In Bayern Munich's last 3 matches, it is clear that they are in decline in form, even though they have managed to win 2 of their last 3 matches, but in terms of quality their team seems to be in decline and they are having difficulty winning matches even though they are against lower level teams.
I think Tauchel must be able to evaluate and improve the performance of the Bayern Munich team otherwise their percentage of being able to defend the title will become smaller.
Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season.

 Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen.

 Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.
1327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 28, 2024, 07:51:47 PM

I'm starting to doubt Barcelona will be able to go far in the Champions League this season, the setbacks they're experiencing are real, and the latest result was when they lost to Villareal and that was after they were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey this season.
It's obviously not going to be easy for Xavi Hernandez and the players as they will be up against much stronger clubs in the Champions League. If they continue like this then Napoli will be able to eliminate them easily in the round of 16. The problem is that they can't do anything big in the transfer market because they have financial problems that don't allow them to spend more money to have a more solid squad. The key is to stick with the players they have at the moment.
Barcelona are now a shadow of themselves and yes I expected it to get to this stage. Now they’re compared to Spurs in England and that’s very bad as it’s reducing their calibre as a club. They lost at the Camp Nou to a Villarreal side that have almost lost it’s form as compared to how they were last season.

 This is pretty bad and things are really going down for Xavi and Barcelona and this is a bad signal especially as we approach the UCL Round of 16 stage. Napoli though aren’t in their best form but they would sure be able to thrash this current Barcelona because they pose a better threat than them currently. Well I don’t think having great signings is somewhat possible especially with the FFP issue they’re having. So they’ve got to make do with the current squad and get the best if not they sure won’t past the Round of 16.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 28, 2024, 07:42:55 PM

A team as big as Liverpool is definitely targeting champions in all the competitions they participate in and the focus I think they will do is do their best in every match in all the tournaments they participate in.
For the EPL it will certainly be difficult and fierce and in fact this always happens every season because the teams in the EPL have sufficient strength so that there is fierce competition at the top of the standings.
And the Europa League is also a prestigious trophy which of course every team will do or use their best strength here to win it.
With Liverpool's current performance and of course the great motivation for them to make this season a farewell to Klopp, of course the percentage of Liverpool being able to win the Europa League is much greater in my opinion.
Yes Klopp will sure get a trophy for the club as his farewell gift to the club and that’s one reason he’s not going slow on the Carabao. He’s still leading the EPL but right now he’s got Manchester City who’ve got back in shape and are ready to pose a challenge. There’s still the UEL but that will be one of the focus of the team but let’s talk about their chances with the EPL. They’re sure of the UCL next season already but as a big team, their goal shouldn’t cease at that point, rather they can go and challenge for the league as they’re sitting on top the log.

 They need to boost their performance if they want to get the league as a perfect farewell for Klopp and it’s something that’s very possible, if only they work hard enough to maintain consistency by not dropping any points, well I believe they’ll make it happens for the coach and the fans.

How long is needed by the fans to understand that if it's not any player who can keep their performance to be consistent anytime? Leao is just facing the downgrade moment on his career and this is a common thing in the football. The same thing was also happening with his friend in acmilan pulisic when he was still playing on chelsea. It was also making the situation even worst caused by leao was one of important player owned by acmilan. I can understnad how frustrated the acmilan fan is but it's not his fault. Leao deserves more chance to solve his problem and i think this will be helping him so much to rebuild his performance again.

He needs support and trust from the fans. He can increase his standard again as a winger or there will be also another good solution for him like leave from acmilan. This will be making the situation even better for him.
I know that fans are always putting very high expectation for him consider he has been named as one of great winger this decade but he is just also a human. So, people shall not blame him anymore. Let him cook in the upcoming game. This will be helping him a lot.

I guess that if some fans were understand regarding his situation in the club. Leaso's contribution is still needed by the club.
Well, there are a number of situations a player faces whilst journeying through his football career, at some point the pressure tends to affect his mental health and stability which in turn poses a threat to his on-pitch performance too and truthfully, it isn't always fair that players be put in such amount of pressure.

 Also as a player, never forget that you're paid to deliver right for the team and yes the fans make the team too and so it's expected that they may drag you at some instances and so you only have to put in your best to obtain the proper favor. The fans are just after good results and no matter how much good you've done in the past, they just won't entertain one single new mistake made.some currently these fans are not patient, they'll rush to the media a backlash a player when they lose form and fail to improve.
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 27, 2024, 10:50:49 PM

Bayer Leverkusen have already done enough this season to be considered as the favorites to win the German Bundesliga ahead of any other team in the league. Like you rightly pointed out, they've not just been good in the league but have also been good in Europe. Tonight, they play against Borussia Monchengladbach and if they win that game, they'll go seven points clear at the top of the league which I think is a very good one for the team.

Borussia Monchengladbach if we remember defeated Stuttgart last time they met in the league and considering how strong and consistent Stuttgart have been since the start of the season, a team that defeated I think should be considered as a very strong team. I know it'll be very tough game for the two sides, but I'm banking on Bayer Leverkusen to either defeat Borussia Monchengladbach or at least get a draw from that game
Leverkusen this season have been zealous to winning the German league trophy and most definitely, there's a high chance of them winning. They've not had much of a rough time so far this season too unlike Munich who have a couple of times slacked too. They  could miss out on the league title cause Leverkusen doesn't look like a team that's giving up soon, unlike Dortmund last season.

 They were host to Monchengladbach today and yes, they were unable to secure the 3pounts but they ensured they didn't loose it all. The game ended in a goalless draw and it's acceptable because the opposing side have also been good this season, having a number of goals scoring records too. It's just good that the two teams kept the game till the last and had equal share of the point too.
1331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 27, 2024, 10:40:13 PM


You're right, for me, My the only player who has a higher level in Barcelona is him, there is no other, in fact I think that Lewa's biggest mistake is having gone to a Barcelona that is not close to winning anything, yes, they are good in the UCL , They had a team that really won Serie A through pure luck, because they have not shown that they are winners or that they are defending champions , but rather that things have happened to them by pure luck, so if they have a chance of passing and beating Napoli, He could not deny that sometimes Barcelona has good luck and they win , Especially in the UCL , but from then on things are not so good to try when they come across teams like City,  Bayern who That's where the race will come to them.

It seems to me that things with Barcelona are complicated, I don't see it very well, they also lost in the Copa del Rey and nothing is going well for them, I think that now their main contender is not Madrid, it is Girona, Therefore, when we do something to see what could be happening, I realize that Xavi himself is to blame for everything, he can't take it anymore, he doesn't have any more ideas, and that shows on the playing field, I also believe We have all laughed at the excuses he makes that are truly useless, say that he lost and that's it, but don't make excuses because that makes the team look bad, it's as if they were children, know that type of thing that he says sometimes no I know, it could be that he says it like that to save his job, but I really don't see this team well, for me they lack a lot, and they are falling very far behind, at least in the League it is like that, it is very easy for them to be beaten too Get out of the UCL quickly, as its level is very demanding.

Well Barcelona going past Napoli in the UCL Round of 16 is going to be one very hard task. Napoli are a good team that works very hard both defensively and offensively and they’ll be ready to stress Barcelona out for the ball. Xavi is short of ideas already and i just heard of him wanting to leave by season’s end. This is probably the best thing to do right now as he can’t offer anything to this team at the moment, there are rumors of him currently set to leave Barcelona.

Napoli who’re defending champions will be playing a Barcelona who’s already destabilized and doesn’t have much to offer especially in this competition. They’re out of all competitions amd I don’t see them as contenders for the UCL, because even if they pass this stage, what’s the hope they’ll scale through to the quaters or semis

Manchester City's attacking line was missing Haaland due to injury but he is said to be recovering and starting training, so this will sharpen the front line if he returns to play in the main squad including Kevin De Bruyne.
The FA is not the top priority but with this win all the fans have been cheering.

Manchester City aren’t doing bad but I think they’ll be superb when they’ve got the addition of Haaland and De Bruyne. You can see how much they suffered in the match against Tottenham. It shows that without Haaland and Debruyne together, they don't look very invisible like they were last season when they won 3 trophies, well it's a good thing Debruyne is back Atleast he could still deliver good passes to other attackers, until Haaland recovers.

 They had the chances but weren’t able to convert on those chances and that’s one thing that killed this team. Tottenham’s attempt in this game was just poor especially attacking wise even though the defense tried their best to maintain the match’s score. Well I think they’re missing Son, but yet still they can still perform optimally better and should learn to play without Son if they want to achieve something this season.

It was showing that if liverpool and chelsea are committing to win any of available competitions. It's not about how prestigious the competition is but winning a trophy can also boost the confidence owned by the players. There's nothing wrong by winning it and im only wondering why do people feel so disgusting with this trophy?
Trophy is trophy and it's still worth to winning it. People shall not be blind by seeing it based on how big the competition is. The main key is making the club to perform even better by boosting their performance after winning the competition. Klopp was sometimes field his secondary players.
Don't you see the match between liverpool vs toulouse? jurgen club have been using so many secondary players and it was losing against toulouse. Klopp was just giving secondary players in the team time to play when it was only facing the garbage club. I hope that klopp will able to show his justice to the any players till the end of season.
Klopp will be leaving from liverpool soon and the club needs to find his replacement as soon as possible. There's not time for liverpool to wait and see. FSG needs to hunt the new potential coach as soon as possible. it will probably xabi alonso from leverkusen.
Let's wait and see. The time will be answering us regarding this question.
Well the Carabao cup is quite interesting and yes so also the trophy. This trophy added to the cabinet doesn’t just build up the club’s prestige but also helps to build the confidence of the players for the remaining quarter of the league season. Though some persons don’t see this trophy as important, I think the should change on that narrative and start to see it as a cup that can be added to make a treble then will they know how important the trophy is. Well Liverpool would be going all out for this trophy because that could be their only trophy if they win.

 Well with Klopp on the verge of leaving and the process of getting a replacement already started, I still see Xabi Alonso as the perfect replacement for Klopp because he’s been able to manage Leverkusen and it’ll be crowned when he wins the league or UEL or both.

Osimhen have never been a bad striker for the Nigerian national team, just that Nigerian pattern of play is totally different from Napolian style of play, in that Napoli team, the midfielder makes it easier for the attacker, but in the Nigerian color that's never the case.

Secondly, in as much as Nigeria vs Cameroon will always be a fascinating encounter, the Nigerian team need to step up and work on their attack, since their defense is well able to do, if they must qualify to the next round.
Well Nigeria style of play is well different frm that of Napoli and that’s one major reason why the African Best Player haven’t reached his full potential as he ought to yet in this tournament. He needs a creative midfielder who’ll be able feed him with a nice pass and that’s what he’s lacking in the Nigerian colour. That aside he still tries his best to find the back of the net.

 For the match against Cameroon, yes putting more focus on the Super Eagles attack will be a big boost for them and help them get the win. Well I think the defense is well to do, but just defending won’t win you the match. So I think Nigeria will need a creative counter attack to be able to eliminate this Cameroon side because they seem shaky on the defense and it’s evidently clear.

After having the worst start of this season their recent three wins give some good hopes but now suddenly again the lost two matches and in both matches they conceded 3 goals each which are surely going to be troubling time for them because now we are in 19th round and their performance level is still not compatible for having anything positive if they fail to bring better results then surely we can expect them into relegation zone until end of this season which could be disastrous for them and their fans as well now in coming round they are going to host Marseille which is also having very good form, and they can bring them down as well.

Against Rennes, they concede three goals in first half and then try to fight back into second half, but sadly they were not able to fight back as Rennes were better team and having good defense as well after scoring three goals in first half so they have done good job and having good end of this match with three points.
Rennes at the beginning of the season up until few last league games, they've been trying hard to survive the heated French league teams and they've found every means possible to stand out in their trials. This season they've really tried in maintaining a good position, even if it's not in the top 4 or 6, but atleast they're closer to the top than the relegation zone. I'm pretty sure they'll remain in the Ligue 1 next season.

 Yesterday, they gracefully won Lyon away from home with a goal margin which was still much needed as the host side tried to keep up with the tempo and netted to them 2goals too. All the same, it's an extra boost ahead of their subsequent encounters in the league games and one would expect that the tempo would be high. They'll be facing montpellier who are below them in the standings, hopefully it would boost them to get another victory.

Sacha Boey is probably leaving. It is said that he will be transferred to Bayern Munich and he will go to Munich tomorrow morning.
He was transferred for 30 Million Euros, I think it could have been worth slightly more.
If he had played in another country rather than Türkiye, this Sacha Boey would have been sold for more.
Boey was an asset in the Turkish League and definitely he'd have made more impact with them but it's just very safe and essential that he moves on to explore competitiveness too. Bayern Munich will definitely work well on him. And also he'll get the opportunity to make name for himself in a big club that would offer him a starter in major tournaments if his stats are good

 They've got good team set up and he definitely would learn more with them. Normally, the rate for his purchase was low considering how advantageous his skillset is but the country of play also has an effect too. Which is why the bid no matter the amount, as long as it's something tangible would be accepted. SPL wouldn't have been a good option and the best decision move to Bayern Munich was made which is actually all that matters.

when we discuss the age of a football player, it will affect a player performance, it is true, but if we compare Ronaldo with Benzema, Benzema is actually much younger than Ronaldo, but in fact, Ronaldo is still in very good condition, scoring big scores since the start of the season, whereas Benzema has Under age Ronaldo did not have a good performance for Ittihad.
I'm trying to think logically that actually this is not due to age but a strong desire to make the best contribution and I'm sure there are other problems that are driving Benzema to not be able to perform like Ronaldo and I'm just trying to guess if Benzema is actually uncomfortable being at Ittihad so his performance cannot be optimal, whereas in the SPL it should be an easy match for Benzema because he is a professional european player who has enormous experience in europe so competing in the SPL should be an easy challenge.

yep, I support your argument because for players who are a little older there will definitely be pros and cons related to market price and on the one hand any big team will always consider giving big salaries to older players so the team will give small salaries while Benzema wants to get big salary before retirement and the best option is to stay at Ittihad with a big salary but Benzema must try to make a good contribution to help Ittihad win the title.
Ronaldo, the G.O.A.T and his unwavering display of goal scoring abilities, skillfulness, agility and strength which generally goes contrary to every activity his age can be able to carry out. Age is not a hindrance to him, he works hard to keep himself active and truthfully, there's every possibility that he'd take part in the next world cup cos he's just got all it'd take.

 He'd definitely look far younger than his age by then as well.
So in essence, age won't deprive him as long as he wants it to happen, he can work towards it, it's just for him to keep his body shape, he's just got all it takes so the task won't be so bulky on him. The world cup is just in 3years, that's not so much time to say that he'd loose his shape and form of professional football. He makes football seem like his hobby cos he strives to keep on going with it. Yes a day for his retirement would come but it's very highly possible that 2026 world cup would go on with Ronaldo and his Portuguese internationals with him.

every season there are always changes to the teams in a league and the conditions currently experienced by Sevilla are not just this time, in fact other teams have also experienced a decline in performance like this.
Sevilla is one of the popular teams in La Liga even though it is threatened with entering the relegation zone, but that will never happen considering that Sevilla is the holder of the most european league titles. this team will not just give up and maintain its reputation.
regarding Girona, which is in very good form at the moment, it's just luck for Girona to be able to take advantage of the situation when several popular La Liga teams are having problems and try to continue to get points in every match, even though this is just luck, I admit that Girona has pretty good consistency.

btw, regarding Almeria vs Alaves yesterday I said to someone who still had faith that Almeria would win, I said that it would never happen because in terms of depth Alaves current performance is stronger than Almeria so it is only natural that Alaves gets 3 points from beating Almeria.
Sevilla this season have not lived up to expectation. They're more less far behind their usual range in seasons before. Then, they've even been opportune to stay in the UEL and even lift the trophy but currently, they're at a point where relegation is possible for them which is very bad.

 Just using them as a case study as there are other teams like them in other leagues. Their performance just at the beginning of the second half of the season wasn't encouraging. The subsequent weeks are unpredictable and there'll be positive or negative impacts on the squad and performances of the team. Maybe the change would effect a positive impact or maybe not but we hope to see what these teams unfold in their second half of the season after the January transfer window. The league races would definitely take a different turn for most teams.

Many people were surprised to hear the news, but maybe it's true that humans have their own saturation time in their work or whatever it is in their lives that they have been doing for a long time on an ongoing basis, if I'm not mistaken Klopp has been with Liverpool for 9 years, so it's only natural in my opinion if we think from this point of view ....

But maybe some people will ask if there is something hidden by Klopp, such as problems or whatever it is behind him to leave Liverpool, who knows about it. Maybe if Klopp really leaves Liverpool, and this season Liverpool get a win in the EPL will be his last trophy for Liverpool. Xabi Alonso is quite interesting and because of his success in bringing Leverkusen to be the leader in the Bundesliga is likely to get a good recommendation and replacement for Liverpool, and if that becomes a reality, the competition in the EPL will be very hotter, but we don't know how effective Alonso is for Liverpool.

Liverpool since Klopp joined the team have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet. However they've got no choice than to move on since he's already made his choice to leave at the end of the season.

 This season, he's aiming for a number of trophies too, first when they take on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss would be charged to win again. The European contests too is there. He's been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel. The players he's worked with are definitely improving in their abilities too. Just like Pep in City, Klopp is been a savior to Liverpool and they'd definitely have to get to some greater heights before he exits the team soon.

So that why I said that Leverkusen chances of winning the open title are very strong and Leverkusen still hasn't had single defeat, unlike the defending champion or Bundesliga king Bayern Munich, who this season has suffered 2 defeats.
Everyone hope some time ago in the first half was that Bayern Munich still had one match postponed and when the postponed match had taken place then Bayern Munich would be able to catch up with Leverkusen.
But everything failed and it was just hope that could not be fulfilled, now entering the second half Bayern Munich had to make things difficult with the increasing quality of Leverkusen play which was getting better and more stable.
Bayern Munich, which is the most successful team in the Bundesliga, must be willing if this season they fail in the race for the title and of course Tuchel must be able to focus on the fight for the UCL title because the only hope of using their full performance is only in the UCL.

I much prefer and really hope that Bayern Munich can perform optimally in the UCL rather than chasing the Bundesliga title, they are already the most successful team in the Bundesliga and now is the time to prove that they can also have the UCL title.
With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is. The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich.

 The two sides are currently in thesame range and tempo and assuredly, the next few weeks would be heated up for the Bundesliga as both teams would take every game extremely serious.Tuchel has to regain Munich's pride, there's chance for him to do so, he just needs extra effort while hoping on a little of Leverkusen's back slide.
