1321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 15, 2023, 09:10:34 PM
Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.

For this thread, I have to be wise as I also have a family. in essence, I'm not on the side of either one of them stopping. Femomena like this is not foreign to me personally, and I have seen many cases in the area where I live. Before I assume, I want to ask what your personal perspective is. No need to answer it, you can keep it to yourself. OK, now I'm speaking my version. So far, I like gambling. However, everything has been arranged, even my wife is involved and takes responsibility for my gambling. I mean, my wife always monitors what I do and I am happy to be open for her to monitor. what's the use, it's definitely useful. My wife will carry out her duties as a wife, which when I am involved is deeply affected by emotions of defeat and difficulty controlling myself. In other words, my wife will do her job as a system to regulate when I have to stop and she will let me, when I'm in the fun phase, provided there are no problems.

Let's imagine, what if both of them like gambling. are they rich people, who have a lot of wealth and don't feel lost when they always lose in their gambling sessions? If what we describe is the opposite, I do not guarantee that life in their family will be healthy. in other words, there will usually be a lot of conflict occurring. okay if they don't have children, especially if they both work. but the fact is the opposite, and only minimal financial income. what is the fate of this family, especially their children. to be honest. I don't dare or interfere in other families' personal problems. but if I am allowed to have an opinion, both should stop for the common good. because clearly it isn't, if what you say in this thread refers to a troubled family.  For me this is not healthy, it's not just the wife who has to stop. however, so does being the head of the household. the story is different, if this husband and wife are rich people. even then, the condition is that children must not know or even be involved.

I just said I should air this out, I don't know if this is possible or a better suggestion should be giving.

We start from the experiences we have while we are still involved in gambling sessions, in fact even though that person has a long history with various experiences. but There is no real guarantee that someone is not an addict, in fact we ourselves know exactly what we have done in a gambling session, including the damage we have done. In fact, a beginner can gain knowledge based on the experiences of other gamblers just from the discussions we have had. as you can see, there are many responses from the community regarding the post you submitted. well, my question is, are there many beginners who are interested.

In fact, most gamblers just want to play and have fun in the hope of getting a win and enjoying the fun side of gambling. But what most gamblers ignore is that every session must be prepared for the risks. and that's why, before we bet, whether we are beginners or very familiar gamblers. make it a habit to do some calculations first, whether the money we are risking will not interfere with other interests. for example, our basic needs. well, so the ideas you expressed in this thread are not what we are doing. Moreover, there are many threads discussing all kinds of gambling perspectives. you, I, we, can get experience from various gamblers without having to do the same thing. specifically in this case, it is for beginners as you mean. the point is, everyone has different intellectuals. Therefore, use it as a benchmark for us to study and choose. Likewise with the gambling that we do. There is no need to post another thread, after all, all the threads we discuss in gambling can become valuable knowledge and gain experience from the stories posted by other members. However, it all comes back to each of us.

Real Madrid are the contenders to win the La Liga title this season. Real Madrid have improved themselves a lot in this season. I believe that in 23/24 season, Real Madrid's talented players will be able to build their fortunes through hard work. As a Real Madrid fan, I expect every player to step forward with enthusiasm. Although Real Madrid are not at the top of the La Liga points table, Real Madrid want to change their points very soon. I never imagined that Girona, who are at the top of the points table with 41 points, can leave the big teams behind like this.

Real Madrid will always be a candidate in this competition, even though it won't be as successful as Ronado and his contemporaries. this season, Madrid remains one of the strong candidates to win the La Liga trophy. moreover, their rivals are currently experiencing several problems in the Barcelona squad.  especially, when it comes to scoring goals. also, Barcelona's defense is not as solid as last season. So Madrid's challenge for now is only Girona, who are two points behind. So, it's just a matter of time for Madrid to move to the top of the standings. It could be that Girona ends up slipping in some of their matches. or, when the second leg match is met at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu headquarters. What is certain is that Madrid has plenty of time to shift Girona's ranking with a schedule that still has a lot of matches left. Apart from that, Madrid has Bellingham who is the difference in their squad by scoring 12 goals. Even though some goals are scored easily, the fact is that Bellingam is also capable of creating spectacular goals. I'm not a Madrid supporter, but it's only fair that Madrid has a better chance at the moment than Barcelona.

However, in fact, it's not just Girona that might be an obstacle to Real Madrid's progress. In fact, ATM is currently ranked 3rd, with one match postponed. which means, ATM could reduce the difference in points from Real Madrid. On the other hand, Michel's squad will always try to defend their position as far as they can. Likewise with Barcelona, ​​Xavi will definitely carry out a lot of evaluations of his squad. Let's just see, at the end of the first season, whether there will be a change in position at the top of the standings. or, the actual match in the second half of the La Liga season. So there's no harm in waiting, after all there are still a lot of matches happening until the end of this season.

Brighton & Hove Albion scored with Joao Pedro in the last minutes and won the match and finished the group as leaders. Marseille would have been the leader if they hadn't conceded that goal, but now they have to play though play-off matches. Marseille played for a draw throughout the match and inevitably conceded a goal in the end. Maybe it would have been better for them if they had thought about scoring goals and not been so defensive. I thought there would be more goals in this match, but I was wrong. I didn't expect Marseille to play so doomed. When Brighton also couldn't score a goal, the match went like this until the last minutes.

I didn't watch this match, because there were too many matches in the Europa League. previously, I predicted that Marseille would win the match by a narrow margin. It's a shame, Genarro Gattuso's squad was unable to carry out its task well. In fact, Gattuso did not implement a defensive system pattern, but they were clearly inferior in tactics and strategy to De Zerby's squad. we can refer to Marsille using a 3-4-3 pattern. they didn't control the ball much, nor did they have the chances they had. throughout the match, they only had 5 total shots. Apart from that, Marseille did not have a single shot on target. Unfortunately they actually have a chance. but unfortunately, 2 shots hit the goal post.

On the other hand, the home team dominated the game with 61% ball possession. 13 total shots, 5 of which were on target, and much better on a tactical and technical basis. In this match, De Zerby applied a 4-2-3-1 pattern. Overall, the Brighton players performed well, only one player underperformed, namely Facundo, who was unable to perform well as an attacking midfielder. It seemed like this match was a tough one, until the only goal was scored in the 88th minute by Brighton's Joao Predo. Unfortunately, Marseille lost and were unable to win the match. In fact, they were unable to keep the match from ending in a draw until the final whistle sounded. In the end, Marseille had to go through the playoffs and I was a little worried about it. because Gattuso should be able to bring his squad much better. unfortunately, they were unable to do so.  in this match, my predictions failed miserably. Supposedly, the Under option is the best choice.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

To be sure, I don't know exactly what happened to this man.  what happened to his gambling, and what was the problem in his life. I can't draw conclusions based on just one side of the story, like the story in this example thread "a gambler committed suicide after experiencing a loss. We can talk about a conspiracy, or the background of why a person committed suicide, whether this was purely because of the action of losing at gambling. or, there are other causes behind it. Maybe this man had consumed illegal substances excessively, or he had other personal problems. Coincidentally, he gambled, lost, then committed suicide. To be honest, I didn't read the information you shared, but we can already guess  the contents of the story from the link you shared. In every case like this story, there are no concrete facts that form the background or the original story is based on a valid source. So the question is, did this man really commit suicide because he lost gambling. Or, was there another problem? and at the same time after gambling and losing, he ended his life. Well, I think only those closest to him know about it.

Now we refer to your question, "Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?" yeah, of course with various cases and stories, with various different backgrounds. there are times when someone is at their lowest fad point, especially if someone is hoping to win from their gambling. then, in the end he ended it because the problem couldn't be resolved. in other words, he lost a bet where the scenario was to get a big win to cover something, for example a debt. There are also many other stories, after all this is a case that we often encounter. Unfortunately, the media only highlights what they do, let alone headlines. example in this thread, losing at gambling. the truth is, no one knows anyone in the community.

"If yes, then don't ever use such an amount to gamble."  This is very true, but unfortunately that is not the essence. I can't explain it clearly because it's too long. However, what we should realize is, play with what you can afford without harming anyone. also, self-control and understanding. thus, you can play and enjoy the gambling session. if you lose, just end it and continue later.

In the groups stage Arsenal achieved good result and were able to qualify for the next rounds in the last 16 with 13 points, but Arsenal could not win all the matches in the 6 matches they played and suffered 1 defeated when facing a club that was not too strong so it can be concluded If Arsenal is still not very good when facing bigs clubs in the next match in the Champions League, especially since they have a defense that is not to strong. In contrast to their strong rival Manchester City who achieved perfect result and did not experience defeat in the group stage, so Manchester City is definitely better favorite over Arsenal.

However, at least Arsenal can fight this season to achieve better even though they are not the favorite, but if they can show even better after they recruit new striker and make their defense stronger, I'm sure Arsenal can achieve the result their fans expect because they still have opportunity this season and he can also beat Manchester City in the Premier League which is definitely a good achievement.

At least, Arsenal has proven its existence in this competition by qualifying for the next round.  as for the defeat they suffered in the Lens match, IMO, it was purely the fault of David Raya and Arsenal's defense. However, it cannot be denied that Arsenal sometimes only wins with poor performance. aka ugly win. We'll see how far Arteta will take his squad in this competition. If Arsenal can get through the last 16, that will be enough for them in their first season in the Champions League after a long absence. However, let's see what Arteta does in the January transfer window. If Arteta and Edu are serious, then they should target a pure center forward who is more reliable than Nketiah. As for Gabriel Jesus, he continues to contribute in his squad. after all, Artera can rotate this player from Brazil. As a fan of the Gunners, I don't expect much from Arsenal to reach the higher stages. just by playing the match with its best performance, we are quite entertained. especially, for the Premier League which should be their real target in the race for the League trophy. For me, what Arsenal lack is a pure central striker, it's time for Arteta to realize this and focus on targeting several names this January. 

Different from City, although it could be said that Manchester City is experiencing a decline in several of its matches. However, Pep Guardiola's squad is still an elite team that is not easy to beat. especially, if they have played their pattern and starting eleven. City will look stronger and stronger. It's only natural that they get points smoothly, but City's experience at the moment is far from Arsenal's in the Champions League. Also, their opponents did not put up any significant resistance and neither did Leipzig. So, it is natural that City is still the favorite team, especially if De Brunye recovers from his injury.

Girona deserves praise even though it is not certain that they will win the trophy at the end of the season. His consistency for 16 weeks and currently leading the standings with 41 points, at first glance reminds us all of the Leicester City club in the English Premier League. Girona improved performance has become a new attraction in the trophy hunt, especially after they managed to beat defending champions Barcelona recently. Everyone was shocked, and tried to accept the fact that Michel squad was a real threat.

Madrid, Barcelona and ATM still won't let Girona lead the standings continuously, and neither will the other clubs. The challenges increase as the season progresses, and if Girona dreams of becoming champions then they must remain stable until the end of the season. Apart from that, Girona is a team that can be used as a reference by other mediocre clubs, that leading the standings does not require having star studded players.

As I said, the only thing that makes Girona able to remain consistent is because they don't have matches in various competitions. they only take part in two competitions, namely La Lia and Copa del Rey. and maybe that is one of the reasons Girona is still able to play their matches well. plus, the players are in their best performance. apart from that, Michel knows very well how to keep his squad on the right track. The only defeat they suffered was in the home match against Madrid, the remaining two were draws and 13 wins. In fact, Girona is more consistent than the teams below them, including Real Madrid. and Barcelona's defeat, became a trigger for Gorina to perform even better. of course we appreciate this team, despite the fact that they are not filled with star players. apart from that, Girona also scored more goals than other teams, even though they only had a difference of a few goals. at least the team that finished in 10th place last season is now at the top of the standings, 2 points ahead of Real Madrid. So far, no one thinks Girona will be able to maintain its consistency. in fact, I clearly doubt they will be able to survive long after falling to Real Madrid. In fact, Michael was able to bring the consistency of his team's squad back to the right track. however, what they have done so far does not guarantee anything even though they have worked hard. in fact, Real Madrid is ready to unseat them. Moreover, Girona will be tested again when they host Atletico Madrid in the next few weeks. It could be that Girona will experience defeat for the second time and experience a decline after that. specifically, after the season's first half ended. and the second half begins, the competition will be even tighter. as I said before, Madrid will not let Girona continue to be at the top of the standings. Likewise with Barcelona, ​​even though they are 7 points behind, they will not be discouraged from continuing to fight and provide tough competition. Likewise with ATM, they have 1 postponed match which might be useful for adding to their points collection later. To be sure, this season is a little different. at least it is more competitive even though La Liga has only presented 16 matches. yeah, there are no other words other than we enjoy it as football fans.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 14, 2023, 09:43:46 PM
~~

Well.. after Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud became the ruler of Saudi Arabia (formally he is still the crown prince, and his father Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is the king), there was a concerted effort to make Saudi Arabia a global hub for sports. A lot of investment was done not just in football, but also in other sports disciplines such as boxing, golf and cricket. But signing Cristiano Ronaldo was a master-stroke. That one decision propelled the Saudi Professional League from a little-known football league outside the country to one of the most popular leagues around the world.

I have mentioned this scenario, in the early posts of this season's league. if PIF has acquired 4 clubs, namely, Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al-Ahli. In the initial scenario, Al Nassr tried to bring in Ronaldo with the promise of a high salary. In the end, this player from Portugal joined Al Nassr and previously terminated his contract with United. In this scenario, Ronaldo becomes the World Cup ambassador for Saudi Arabia and also becomes the entry point for other top European players to join and compete in the Saudi Pro League. and apparently, what they planned in their project went according to plan even though their target was players aged 30+.

Apart from that, PiF operates in other sports in collaboration with the Saudi Arabian ministry. and as we know, the person behind PIF is Prince Mohammed bin Salman and also the crown prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. the point is, it's not just football that is the target in their big project. However, it was from football that it all started. because this type of sport is the most popular throughout the world. and they are well aware of how to develop a scenario in the large project plan promoted by the Saudi Kingdom through its crown prince and managed by one of its companies, namely PIF.

From football, Ronaldo and other top European stars have come, attracting the eyes of the whole world to look at Saudi Arabia. plus, if they are successful in hosting the 2030 World Cup. meaning, Saudi is starting to open itself to the world. and isn't this the difference, in the steps taken by the Chinese Super League.

By the way, this is just my personal point of view, if I'm wrong, please understand.
What is certain is that Al Nassr will play their match against Al Ittifaq, coached by Steven Gerrard. So, let's see how Al Nassr will carry out their match against Al Ittifaq this week.

There is some downgrade in Leverkusen's performance lately but it is natural and there is still no problem also. I mean actually they are playing really effectively even in the matches they lose points. The recent matches in which they lost points were even challenging matches of the season - against Stuttgart and Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's losing by an embarrassing score against Frankfurt was a big help for Leverkusen to keep a decent point gap with them also.

I really want Bayern Munich's championship streak to end and it looks like the only team that really can do this is Leverkusen at the moment.

Currently, Bayern Munich is only 4 points different from Leverkusen. However, Bayern Munich has one match postponed and it will be useful for them to add points to reduce the gap from Leverkusen. Well, referring to what you said. I'm sure most of us want the Bundesliga to look different. At least, there is one team that can break Bayern's dominance for a decade. So far, Leverkusen is a team that is even able to top the standings and is 4 points ahead of Munich. Unfortunately, that is not a guarantee for Xavi Alonson's squad. The Bundesliga has only presented 14 matches, which means there are still many matches that must be played by all the teams competing in this League.

As for Bayern Munich's defeat against Frankfurt, no one could have denied that they even lost with a landslide score of 5-1. but don't get me wrong, if Bayern are able to get back on the right track with the squad they have. Moreover, I'm sure Tuchel will hunt for several players in the January transfer window. It could be that they will also target the goalkeeper if Neuer is unable to return to his previous form. Apart from that, it is very likely that Tuchel wants several defensive players who are established and have quality that they can rely on. Thus, it is possible that in the second half of the season, Bayern Munich will appear much stronger and more resilient.

On the other hand, a big challenge will also face Leverkusen. this week, Frankfurt will face Leverkusen at BayArena. if Frankfurt can overthrow Bayern, why not Leverkusen. which means, Frankfurt has a chance for that. So, the point is that Xabi Alonso must prepare his squad and maintain consistency, especially the fitness of his core players. If some of them are injured, it is possible that Leverkusen will experience a decline in performance. in fact, I've covered several times for both of these teams. but because there are still people discussing it, so I try to say it again from my point of view. In essence, we have to first determine how far Leverkusen has gone. and how skilled Xabi is at getting around his strategy to keep his squad on the right track. So, to be sure, let's just follow every match presented in this competition.

Bayer Leverkusen really shows its consistency, even though it has been confirmed to qualify but ya, in fact Bayer Leverkusen still plays with its best quality because Bayer Leverkusen still managed to win big in the current match against Molde. Even though ya, if Bayer Leverkusen gets a losing result in this match, but of course basically won't change Bayer Leverkusen position but ya, it seems Bayer Leverkusen is really not willing to lose in the matches they play this season.

Also about Liverpool, which is very proud of in the Europa League this season too, but the reality is Liverpool not really consistent to keep winning like Bayer Leverkusen. Because ya, the fact is that at this moment Liverpool are still 2-1 behind by Royale Union SG. Although indeed, they only played second-tier players but anyway, Bayer Leverkusen still showed their best quality but not Liverpool.

Leverkusen did a good job, even though Xabi didn't field his full starting eleven. Leverkusen is far superior, both tactically and technically. They scored 5 goals in this match, and only conceded one goal. Molde was rendered helpless by Xabi Alonso's squad during their match at BayArena, Leverkusen's headquarters. It is certain that Leverkusen will advance to the round of 16 with perfect points. Xabi Alonso's squad is truly impressive and cannot be underestimated, for the teams that will meet at Leverkusen in the last 16 phase. You can be sure that Xabi Alonso's squad will play an impressive game. unless Alonso prefers to focus on the Bundesliga. As for Liverpool, this match didn't have much of an impact on them. That's why Jurgen Klopp prefers to rest some of his players and rotate some players. Apart from that, Klopp gives opportunities to his young players. Liverpool still controlled the game, but unfortunately these young players still needed a lot of playing time. However, technically Leverpool are much better. unfortunately, they don't have many chances. I think Klopp is more prepared to prepare his squad when they host Manchester City in the Premier League. Well, I'm interested in using the results of the Brighton vs Marseille match. In my estimation, Marseille has a probability of winning the match even though they are playing at home to Brighton.

Bringing in a new coach will not solved the current problem of Manchester United, perhapes there are certain essential things to be put into place. Manchester United are in pretty bad shape this season, losing to both elite and average clubs does pose an interesting facts about the club. Regardingg the news of the board in search of a new coach, there are specific measures adjourned to that sector and I perceive it to be false news in the system. This is mere football transfer rumors and we have to be more careful regarding the news we have heard when dealing with the system.

We agree, United's real problem is not their coach. We even know how Ten Hag was able to bring his squad to a top four finish last season. Supposedly, the addition of several players they brought in could improve their performance this season. Unfortunately, Mason Mount cannot be relied on and at the same time he has suffered a long injury. As for Onana, the goalkeeper actually played quite well. Unfortunately, he often makes blunders. apart from that, there are many players who are suffering from injuries plus other problems. and the most important point, United did not have good cooperation during the match.  So, Ten Hag had a lot of homework to do. Referring to what you said, bringing in a new coach will not solve the problem and that is absolutely right. We have seen Ten Hag's real work last season, this season has been unlucky for him with various problems in the United camp. If, United are serious about sacking Ten Hag and his replacement coach is a coach of unknown reputation. So, don't blame this team, it will get worse. Let's see what the next developments are regarding Ten Hag, plus the match against Liverpool.

In the first half Newcastle did look superior, it's just that when in the second half some of Newcastle's core players were replaced their game declined and the attack line was not so sharp, I think this is more fortunate for Milan because they have to win and comeback in the second half.

Damn,, actually I put my hopes on Newcastle to win because of betting there, I also saw how their record at home was always good only at the end of this match they had to lose, I was unlucky to choose this team in betting.

PSG is still saved with a 1-1 goal result (draw) try if Newcastle wins it is definitely an English club that will qualify.

yeah, that's absolutely true, in fact PSG was saved in last night's match with a score of 1-1. But in reality, PSG actually had many opportunities and they should have been able to win last night's match. Unfortunately, Kang-in Lee and Randal Kolo Muani played with poor performance. In fact, these two players had several opportunities, but unfortunately they were unable to make good use of them. Also, these two players took too long to dribble the ball. in the end, they were replaced by other players. Luckily Warren Zaire-Emery was able to equalize, which ultimately resulted in a 1-1 draw. one more thing, unlucky for PSG, 1 shot hit the goal post. As for Newcastle, this match actually matched my predictions. Even though I didn't watch this match, I can refer to the match statistics. The point is, AC Milan's defense line was quite solid in the match against Newcastle. plus, they have more big chances than Newcastle. This match, according to what I predicted, both teams have the same characteristics. That's why Milan has more counterattack opportunities. Pioli's squad had 6 counter attacks, 1 goal was converted well. Likewise, Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan made 5 saves. As a result, as we know, Eddie Howe's squad had to accept defeat at their own headquarters. and Milan, have the right to advance to the European League even though they failed in this competition.

With Sevilla bot in the Europa League, we can now push focus to another big side maybe Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and Marseille who are all doing very well. I would rather see Bayern Leverkusen making sacrifices for the Bundesliga than the Europa League Competition.
Bayern Leverkusen shouldn't slack with the chase of the Bundesliga League Competition they have all the chances to win, I wouldn't want to see them bottling the cup at the eleventh hour.

I'd be supporting Galatasaray, they play good football amd have better quality players than Copenhagen, I think they just didn't make good use of them chances. Sevilla are specialist of this competition, if they get qualified, I'm sure they'll win the competition or get to reach the finals.

In fact, there is no guarantee that if Sevilla qualify for this competition, they will repeat the same thing as last season. In fact, they didn't win once in their 6 matches in the Champions League group phase, Sevilla even lost against Lens on matchday six. There are no other words I can say, that their performance is a mess.

As for the Lens squad, this team from the French league ultimately has the right to compete in the Europa League and overthrow Sevilla. However, will they be able to last long or will they fall in the playoffs? On the other hand, Galatasaray might be a differentiator that could provide competition for other teams competing in this League. However, we'll see how the Okan Buruk squad plays out in this competition. one more thing, AC Milan which in the end has more rights than Newcastle. Milan successfully overthrew Newcastle at St James' Park, Newcastle's home ground. Let's see how far Stefano Pioli's squad will go when playing their matches in the European League.

As for Leverkusen, I really agree with what you said. If Alonso is willing to sacrifice one of the competitions they are participating in, especially the Europa League, it would be better to further their mission to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. However, we'll see what Xabi Alonso and his squad will do. for Liverpool, Marseille, Roma, let's follow how far the teams we mentioned played their matches in this competition.

Nice are really doing a wonderful work despite being able to score only 16 goals in 15 matches. It isn't easy to collect 32 points with this low goal statistics. They are the least conceding team at the same time. They are amazing at defending but they had better improve their scoring side. Because having this many low-scoring matches might not be good for them in the long run.

It is really difficult for Nice to keep their claim for the title until the end of course. They need to be as consistent as Lens were last season.

But I guess their priority is to finish the season in top 3 to qualify for the Champions League directly rather than winning the title. While PSG are this good in the league it is already extra difficult for Nice to win the title.  Sad

So far, it cannot be denied that Nice can go this far. Now, they are ranked 2nd below PSG. Unfortunately, Nice is not very productive in terms of scoring goals, and this will be an obstacle for them in the next matches they will play. although in fact, Nice has a fairly strong defense. In fact, so far they have only conceded 6 goals in their 15 matches.
But that alone is not enough, because the closer the match gets to the end of the first half of the season, the competition becomes even tighter. especially, entering the second half of the season. IMO, gradually this team will experience a decline in performance and have the potential to be eliminated from the top four of the standings. but, this is just my assumption and speculation. Regarding their consistency, we'll see how they play match after match.

As for other teams, who might be able to compete with PSG, or at least be in PSG's shadow. none other than, Monaco. yeah, I have another assessment for this team. At least, Adolf Hutter is showing good progress for his squad. what they need is the right system and pattern that suits the existing squad. because so far, Adolf Hutter is still experimenting with changing patterns, rotations and strategies. Maybe, he wants a more ideal composition for his squad. Well, let's see, Ligue 1 still has matches that all teams have to play until the end of this season.

Bye Bye Ac Milan.

The worst outcome for them, playing the Europa Leauge so they can't focus 100% in the Serie A.
Ac Milan will not last long in the Europa League because they will not be happy playing the Europa League football.
Paris Saint-German fought back to reach the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League this season. 

What is certain is that we cannot yet confirm how they will play in the Europa League competition. Moreover, Milan must go through the playoffs first. If they manage to qualify, we'll see how they fare in the European League competition. Apart from that, I previously predicted that Newcastle would fall and be knocked out in the Champions League group phase and not enter the European League playoffs. and yeah, Eddie Howe's squad was unable to capitalize on the momentum of playing in front of their own supporters. even though, Newecastle had taken the lead first. but in fact, Milan was able to comeback and win the match. Unfortunately, they lost on goal difference to PSG.

As for PSG, it's really unlucky for me to fail in this match. Previously, I supported Luiz Enrique's squad. PSG should be able to win this match, they have many opportunities. Even in the first half, PSG played directly aggressively. Mbappe and his colleagues were unable to take advantage of every opportunity they had, even though they should have been able to maximize it well. one shot hit the post, 4 big chances. and in fact, they were only able to equalize. As a result, my prediction failed for the PSG match. Luckily, they were superior in number of goals to Milan. if not, PSG will have to be eliminated from this competition.

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

With their failure in the Champions League and not qualifying for the Europa League, United should be able to focus on improving their performance in the Premier League competition. they have to throw away their defeat in the Champions League competition, and it's time to focus on the main league competition. Ten Hag has homework, now the task is not as heavy because they no longer participate in several competitions, especially the Champions League.

Casemiro reportedly returned to training with MU ahead of the previous match against Bayern, but it seems he is not ready to play. Previously, Casemiro was scheduled to return on January 15. However, it seems Casemiro is making good progress in his recovery after being involved in training on the club's social media. Plus, several players are scheduled to recover from injuries, such as Mount and Eriksen. If that's true, Ten Hag has new ammunition he can rely on. at least, pleasant news for fans of The Red Devil.

We know, currently Liverpool is in its best performance. However, no one can predict for certain the match between the two teams this week. and what is certain, we are looking forward to this match being held. Apart from that, I don't dare to preemptively state what the club management will decide. but my guess is that Ten Hag's position will remain safe with United. The reason is, there are many factors. Well, we can discuss that later, before we first confirm United's management policy regarding Ten Hag's position as United's head coach.

IMO I think at the moment Girona are not really looking to focus on becoming champions because in this case apart from the season which is still long considering we are still in the middle of the season, their burden is now heavy with performance so rather than being bothered by thinking about the championship it would be better for them to continue to think about how their performance remains consistent.
At the moment Girona are still very good in terms of performance but indeed this is not a guarantee that they will continue like this so they must continue to try to make their performance stable so that their condition is maintained because with that their chances of competing in a decent position or even a title competition are always there.

Girona is a middle class team, last season they finished 10th in La Liga. Even in the last 3 seasons, Girona has never finished higher than 10th. this season, this team has suddenly become one of the tough competitors in the 16 matches presented by the competition in La Liga. if I had to compare, the same as Lens in the 2022-23 season. why, because they don't have a tight schedule like other teams, especially the top teams in this competition.

and IMO, one of the things that makes Girona able to be consistent as I said. Plus, Girona has players who are in their best form. that's why, so far Gorina has been able to be consistent. So far, I can't be sure whether they will be able to remain consistent. especially after the second half of the season, because the competition will get tougher and more fierce. What is certain is that finishing in the top four until the end of this season is something extraordinary for them.

To win the League title, I don't think it's time yet because Madrid or Barcelona and even Atletico Madrid won't let Girona go smoothly. However, the fact is that Girona is currently still at the top of the standings. But what is certain is that Madrid, the team with the fewest points difference from Girona, will reclaim the top of the standings. well, let's just wait and watch each match.

This time I am interested in seeing Al Ittihad's movements with their new coach, Marcelo Gallardo, who has handled Al Ittihad in 6 matches in all competitions. the result, not so bad. Of the 6 matches with his squad, 4 matches were won, one was a draw and one was lost. At least, Marcelo Gallardo is showing good progress. Apart from that, the Argentinian coach uses an offensive playing pattern, and I think Benzema really likes the system implemented by the coach who replaced Nino Santo, who previously managed Al Ittihad.

In the Club Wold Cup match, Al Ittihad defeated the opposing team, namely Auckland City. In fact, I don't know for sure whether their opponents are a strong team or not. However, one of the New Zealand League clubs is ranked 2nd. What is certain is that Al Hilal won the match smoothly. Plus, Bemzema returned to play with high performance and also contributed 1 goal in this match.

Well, this week Al Ittihad should have a meeting with Al Nassr. However, this match was postponed, because Al Ittihad will play an away match against Al Ahly, a club from Egypt. I want to see how far Marcelo Gallardo is able to take his team in a better direction. Moreover, in this match Al Ittihad was superior. But actually, I was more interested when Al Ittihad played a match in the Saudi Pro League, especially the match against Al Nassr.

Bayern Munich are regarded as the best club in Germany in past decades. We hope for a change and here it is, happening before our very eyes this season. I would be so glad to watch another club lifts the Bundesliga title this season because Bundesliga have become one of the boring leagues I'm aware of due to Bayern Munich constant domination and constant lifting the league titles. Bayer Leverkusen can proof everyone wrong this season, remember they're unbeaten this season and the incredible performance is all the masterpiece of Xabi Alonso.

I will not deny, let alone refuse, if it turns out there is a team capable of breaking Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga competition in the last decade. Unfortunately, there are still 20 matches remaining that must be played by all the teams competing in this league. not only Leverkusen, but also Stuttgart.
especially Bayern Munich, the most established team among the other teams competing in the Bundesliga. not only does it have a depth of players that is superior to other teams. However, Bayern has a winning mentality in this competition. That's why this team is a Bundesliga giant regardless of the finances they have.
As for Bayern's defeat in the Frankfurt match, I once said that going ups and downs could potentially happen even though the team is a strong team. In fact, Bayern is still a strong team. January transfer season will open soon, it is clear that Bayern will target several players to strengthen their team squad. which means, Bayern can be much stronger to still defend their league title.

Now we are talking from the Leverkusen side, so far Alonso has been able to bring his team to an impressive performance even without defeat. but we can also see that Leverkusen is almost losing. However, they were able to equalize and the match ended in a draw. Leverkusen was held to a draw by Dortmund, and even had difficulty putting up resistance against Stuttgart. In other words, Xabi must work hard to improve his team's potential if they want to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
So far, their steps are on the right track. However, in the second half of the season, the matches that will be faced will get tougher and will be more decisive.
For now, I still see Bayern's probability as greater. but if Leverkusen is able to continue to be consistent, especially until the end of the season approaches. I will give another and worthy assessment for Xabi Alonso's squad. So, for now, let's just enjoy what the Bundesliga has to offer.

Yeah I doubt Pep is too bothered about this game and like you say he’s taken the opportunity to rest most of his stars.

38 minutes to go and still 1-0 up. I’m much more interested in other games tonight if I am honest.

In fact, Pep did not play his starting eleven in this match. We can see that Pep rotated several of his players even though Jack Grealish was still played as a starter. with the scenario, Grealish will be more reliable and at the same time become a mentor to the young players who Pep has made the main starter. Oscar Bobb is played as a center forward, he is a young City player. Likewise with Micah Hamilton, a young player who is 20 years old. Grealish was withdrawn to be replaced by Foden in the early minutes of the second half. Kocavic, was replaced by Susoho, an 18 year old young player.

So, only established players remain in the defense line. but not with Rico Lewis, Pep often rotates this young player according to his wishes. which means, Pep doesn't care about the match and I agree with you. Pep prefers to reserve several of his core players to save energy.
Uniquely, this match became even more exciting because many goals were scored. and as you say, there are more interesting matches that the Champions League has to offer in the matches after this. especially, for the group E phase match which will present an exciting battle. there are no other words, other than we wait and watch.
