RCB is here to make a statement for sure, I don't mind whether they qualify or not but at last they are playing in the way that's how they supposed to play since the beginning but nevertheless they posted big target which may looks easy considering this year's IPL target and chases but I won't rule out the score board pressure which gives better advantage for RCB in my opinion.

RCB's comeback in the previous matches is really commendable. Nissandhi team could have been in the top 2 if such a performance could have been done from the beginning of the season. But the performances of both Bengaluru's batsmen and bowlers in the early matches of the season were very erratic.

The team has collected a huge score of 241 runs today. It is a big collection no doubt, but such a run on such a flat pitch is not unusual. If Bengaluru's bowlers fail to perform well after giving a big target then Bengaluru are likely to lose.

Punjab's batsmen are playing very well. Punjab's collection is 107/2 in 9 overs. Rille Rossouw scored an unbeaten 61 off just 27 balls.

Of course, he is not going to go back to Manchester United. Any player who has left Manchester United recently is definitely not going to go back to Manchester United for sure. And Manchester United is suffering not because they do not have goal scoring players.  they are genuinely suffering because of the coach who does not have the capability of making good technical decisions. And I also am very disappointed in the authority of Manchester United. I am pretty sure that if this was any other club, the coach already was going to be out. He is the coach of Manchester United United is absolutely beyond me.

Anyway if we are talking about Barcelona getting him, I think that is going to be a problem. Because Barcelona definitely does not have a lot of money right now. And it is not going to be easy for Barcelona to get him in the team. I believe Barcelona is still going to look for free transfer. Because without free agents, Barcelona might again struggle to actually register the players.

Another Anti- Erik Ten Hag.  Even if you sack Erik Ten Hag and bring in a new coach, these players are not capable of  doing the job for Manchester United. You have to still wipe out all of them players and keeps four to five alone for long-term plans that suits the project if the club and how the coach wants to play. I think I'm dine having this conversation already with posters here who I think are not here to write something that makes sense or facts but only here to spam and stuff. It's already tiring to see too many people are short-sighted and yetz to see that Erik Ten Hag is not the problem of Manchester United.

If I should finally agree that he is a bad manager ( of which I won't ) Why not judge him with the success he had from his first season with Manchester United. These people are sick fvcks annd they know nothing about football.

For Football Club Barcelona, I can't say I know the plans they have but they have to make hard decisions if they're to raise funds for the club. Players like Frankie De Jong, Raphina, Araujo, and lastly Robert Lewandoski should definitely fetch them big bucks. They sell them next season transfer window.

Bro, I do not understand how people can call someone "Anti Ten Hag" for stating the obvious. He has done nothing to improve the Manchester United squad. He has not brought any better results. At least definitely not what Manchester United expected. He has only wasted the money of Manchester United club to bring in players from his past club Ajax. And now Manchester United is kept wondering what to do with €95 million "fidget spinner" who has scored only one goal in the whole season. And if you say that he had good results with Manchester United in the first season, Manchester United was third in that season. And Manchester United definitely did not bring him as "one season wonder".

Saying the F-word does not make your argument stronger. It just proves that you are a sensitive little person who gets offended easily and does not have strong points to back up his argument.

The initial good start for DeRossi was provided by the calendar - three games in a row with teams from the very bottom of the standings. Then Roma really became better, at least more interesting - they scored a lot and conceded a lot. But the irony is that those who praised Mourinho's sacking suddenly realize that Roma are finishing the season worse than under him  Grin

Wins are all wins and whoever they won don't matter as much as all you do is win. If he had lost to these three low profiled clubs in Seria A Competition, he wouldn't have had peace of mind, infact people don't appreciate you for what you do so I understand perfectly.

Even if they won against a small side, they played a much more better and beautiful football than the one we watched when Jose Mourinho was head coach of this same club. No arguments he won them the European Conference League Competition in his first season and didn't get enough backing but these are same players handled by Jose Mourinho? He needs to take a rest from football for sometime in my opinion.

For the game remaining, I do think they will share points with Atalanta during the next game as they'll be facing themselves and for the next two games to round it up 38games? As Roma should also emerge winners from.these two. It's either a win for them because they'll still be in one of these European Competitions next season. What I know is that, they're most likely to get better next season.

I understand that people actually became really hopeful and were also expecting a lot from the new coach as soon as he was made the coach and was able to win three matches or four matches in a row if I recall correctly. I think people are actually forgetting the fact that those matches were not as hard as they could have gotten in this season.

I also understand that a win is a win. But there is definitely a difference between winning against Inter and winning against Salernitana. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Anyway, the bottom line is, the coach has not had a long time with the team. that’s why I think we should give him more time. So far what he has shown, has definitely not been a big improvement compared to what it was before he came in as the coach. Maybe with time, he will be able to bring in better results. But if they are able to at least finish in a position from where they will be able to take part in European competition next season, it is going to be a bit of a motivation for them.

I really don't like PSG but I agree with this statement of his because even though PSG has not performed well in European competitions recently, I think it is not the fault of the coach. He tried his best to make a good enough plan to make sure that PSG actually goes to the final of the Champions League and wins. But sometimes even the best of plans don't work well. And there is a trend going on in football right now of changing coaches if any bad results happen.

So I think the PSG chairman actually said it right. And this is also going to give the coach a lot of confidence going forward. He will be able to work with the club without having to think about the termination of his contract at any random moment.

Mason Greenwood the former player of Manchester United is not going to return to Manchester United anymore and he prefers to play in another team where he can stay away from the drama he had. He was under investigation because and even the fans of Manchester United wanted him to leave the team because of that.
But he had a good performance in Getafe and this made some teams to send him offers.
Currently, Barcelona is the closest team to this player and Laporta started talking with Getafe about Mason Greenwood.
However, he is still under contract with Manchester United until 2025.



https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2024/5/7/24150921/getafe-chief-says-he-spoke-to-barcelona-president-joan-laporta-about-mason-greenwood

Mason Greenwood remains a Manchester United player. He is currently on a loan deal with Getafe so he can get playing time while Manchester United decides on his future. Who told you he is no Manchester United player no more? I understand if he has no plans to return but we will see the decision to be made by the management.

I just can't believe they're suffering for a good goalscorer when they have Mason Greenwood and also crying over Rashford when they have a player with lots of passion and a very good executioner when with the ball. All he wants to do is score goals.

We don't need to be told how much of a good player he has been but Barcelona  will have to pay for his complete fees. Whoever gets him will sure benefit from him. When around good players he is a different player more like a monster.
I hope he successfully gets whatever he wants since this dump headed Manchester United fans are pushing for him.to be sold completely.

Of course, he is not going to go back to Manchester United. Any player who has left Manchester United recently is definitely not going to go back to Manchester United for sure. And Manchester United is suffering not because they do not have goal scoring players.  they are genuinely suffering because of the coach who does not have the capability of making good technical decisions.

146  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF good or bad? on: May 08, 2024, 09:59:03 AM
There's good and bad that come from it, but if we are to be pedantic about Bitcoin, I should say it is generally bad. With spot Bitcoin ETFs, the emphasis on peer-to-peer is gone. The emphasis on a trustless system that eschews third parties is forgotten. The features which make Bitcoin revolutionary; decentralization, freedom, independence, ownership, control, and so on and so forth are set aside. Without all these, Bitcoin isn't Bitcoin anymore. The Bitcoin in spot Bitcoin ETF isn't money. Strictly speaking, Bitcoin in spot Bitcoin ETFs isn't Bitcoin at all.

Perhaps bitcoin ETFs somewhat overshadow the features that make bitcoin special but I think even without bitcoin ETFs, those things would have happened sooner or later. The simple reason is because bitcoin is considered a speculative asset rather than a currency, and this was before the emergence of ETFs. Once it is called investing, profit will be the top priority, not too many people will be interested in other features of bitcoin. Looking at the growth of centralized services and centralized exchanges speaks for itself, and the fact that bitcoin has become more centralized is not entirely the fault of ETFs.

Yeah, we've been going to that direction even before the approval of these spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. Ever since Bitcoin became popular, centralized platforms have already emerged. Ever since Bitcoin got assigned with fiat equivalent, it has gradually turned into an asset or an investment.

I'm not saying this is the fault of ETFs, though. All I'm saying is that ETFs can be bad to Bitcoin. And whether the trend has been moving toward this direction already even before the ETF approval or not is quite another story. But the entry of BlackRock and the rest of the traditional giants in finance ushered so to speak by no less than a government agency is like the final nail in the coffin. It's like a stamp which signifies the traditionalization of Bitcoin.

Although it is not good for bitcoin as you say, there is one thing we cannot stop them and I think that is the price we have to pay if we want bitcoin to become more popular. Besides the negative side, we cannot deny that with the adoption of ETFs and thereafter, more and more traditional investors are interested in bitcoin and they are investing in bitcoin through ETFs. Supposedly, without ETFs, bitcoin's popularity would still be very limited and many people would hesitate to invest in bitcoin. ETFs bring pros and cons to bitcoin, not just harm.

Revamping should be Manchester United's plans for next season. I believe they are not going to continue keeping most of the players in the Manchester United squad by next season. It is quite obvious that the team needs to sell out many and sign new players if they want to perform well next season. It is somehow for them to be regarded as one of the big teams in the Premier League and they fail to come top of the Premier League table.  That's very shameful to think, that a big team like Manchester United couldn't win a trophy in a season or stand a chance to appear in the top four position of the PL table.

I never believed that Crystal Palace could win against Manchester United with 4 goals after many thought that they were going maintain their 6th position till the end of the season. What will then be their fate for the 6th position since they have Arsenal and Newcastle to play against?
It seems that Man United must go through a regeneration process like the Blues did by overhauling almost 90% of the players and coaches. But are they really ready for the process? Sometimes all the options become more confusing between the mentality of bad players, coaches who don't meet expectations or both. Man United has clearly experienced a significant decline compared to last season. Many players are out due to injury, while the rest don't seem to be enjoying playing on the field.
Crystal Palace gives a nightmare, even though it is in the middle of the standings, this club can surprise not only Man City but Man United also gets a surprise without any resistance at all. How embarrassed Erik Ten Hag is because now he will be blamed for the players' poor performance on the field during several matches. Of the total of 35 matches, 13 of them were lost which is a new record for the Red Devils.


https://youtu.be/PMO1a2dP29w?si=i7jupmnZY9Q-RocQ

This is the situation of Manchester United right now. And how did they even become worse than Chelsea? They even actually manage to improve? And 4-0? Really? Against Crystal Palace? lol.. Cheesy

Yesterday I did say that Manchester United is probably not going to win this match and probably a draw is going to be the most likely outcome of this match. Because Crystal Palace was performing well before this match. But I did not think Manchester United was going to get smashed like that Tongue. I think even a kid can see that Ten Hag has no idea what he’s doing. And this guy kicked out Cristiano Ronaldo, just saying. I hope Manchester United authorities and fans are happy to see this. All of them blamed the player that was actually carrying them. And now the coach that they actually trusted, is carrying them towards the bottom of the table.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do. on: May 07, 2024, 12:02:21 PM
traders are trading BTC/USDT to accumulate BTC. the stablecoin is what it's used for, traders sell the BTC for a higher price in exchange for USDT and then wait til the price drops which they accumulate satoshis. it could be easy to look at it this way and one could think you get to be rich when you master doing this. i do believe so but what you need is also time and patience which not everyone has.
I agree with you that they tend to do this, trading to increase their portfolio value, to increase their bitcoins but the reality is opposite.

They trade too often and even when Bitcoin volatility is not high and they get familiar with low volatility as their normal standard. With this feeling, when Bitcoin suddenly to rise sharply, they will sell low and buy high. This trading style will cause them loss of their bitcoin and it's not what they intend to do initially.

I would like to say, they should trade less, hold longer.

I think maybe many of us have thought about this and even tried it, and I am one of them. But to be honest, it was not as easy as we thought, and as a result our bitcoins decreased instead of increasing as expected. So I think holding and trying to find income from work sources, and then applying the DCA strategy is the best way to increase the number of bitcoins. Trading is never as easy as we think, if it really was that easy it wouldn't be our turn to do it.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way? on: May 07, 2024, 11:54:29 AM
Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.
It's understandable that you want to offer valuable advice to your friend about growing their company's wealth. While investing in assets like Bitcoin can potentially yield significant returns, it's essential to consider factors like risk tolerance, financial goals, and the stability of the investment. Bitcoin's value can be volatile, and investing a large portion of the company's funds in it may expose them to significant fluctuations in value. Encouraging diversification and seeking guidance from financial professionals could help your friend make informed decisions about how to manage and grow their company's wealth effectively.
I really don't like OP's advice even though he has good intentions of wanting to help his friend. In my opinion, using a company's reserves or budget to invest in a highly volatile asset like bitcoin is an unwise idea. Not to mention OP completely does not know the business situation of his friend's company, he should not give such arbitrary advice. Finding a financial advisor is the best solution for both of you and the safest. We are just retail investors, not senior financial advisors and knowledgeable about finance, so we limit giving advice to others.

Man U's goal that they couldn't score killed my multi bet... Not the first time I've lost by the Devils... I'll probably blacklist them forever now... Of course Crystal Palace managed to surprise everyone yesterday, but even more I was surprised by Man U, who are now one step away from the Euro Cups and couldn't take even one point, losing with such a big score...
Then blacklist this club. I have done it by avoid to bet on united until it will show a significant improvements. I would rather to take chelsea in this case compared to the united. United will be getting even harder in going to the europa league this season. Totenham is just getting the same problem like united.
It's hard to let my hand to bet on these shitty club. United and totenham keep doing bottle jobs in any matches. The better to avoid them atm.

At the moment, Chelsea and Newcastle teams are in a better position than Manchester United and Tottenham. The Tottenham team has been in very good form since the start of the season. But right now the team is not playing well. The team has lost four matches in a row. And now it is difficult for Tottenham to hold on to the fifth place in the points table. Tottenham will play against Burnley, City and Sheffield United in the next three matches. Tottenham team may have to lose the fifth place in the table if they do not win in two matches.

Manchester United will not be able to finish in the top 6 of the table. The overall performance of this team is very poor. I'd say Chelsea and Newcastle will be higher up the points table than United at the end of the season. Chelsea's performance is now stronger than Manchester United's.

They need to build up their strength again next season so that they can compete in La Liga again next season, do we need to say goodbye to the Cadiz, Almeria and Granada squads at the end of this season because they need to be replaced with new squads that have reached the point where they can compete in La Liga?
Cadiz are in a difficult situation even though they still have a chance. The maximum points they can collect from unplayed matches this season is 38 points. But they will play Getafe and Sevilla and those are tough games. It looks like we really have to say goodbye to the team in the relegation zone now.
By the way, the teams that will be promoted from La Liga 2 are Leganes, Valladolid and Eibar. I look forward to their performance in the 2024-2025 season.
I thought Cadiz will going to defeat Real Madrid in their last match, because they made the match to ended up draw 0-0 in the 45 minutes in the home of Real Madrid, but it was a shocked in the second half seen Real Madrid scored three goals to defeated Cadiz to entered relegation zone. Well, if Cadiz manager can work very hard to train his players very well before their next matches, I think they will escape relegation zone from this season, because they have players who can make it happen to achieve victory from all those matches. I don't think, Getafe and Sevilla can defeat Cadiz in their next match, because their players are still doing well despite they find it difficult to achieve goals to embrace victory in some matches, which their manager will definitely put an end to it soon.

There is no doubt that Cadiz performed well in the first half. However, Madrid's players are also performing very carefully in this match. This is why we don't see any goals from Madrid in the first half. However, Cadiz's overall performance in the first half was very good.

However, Madrid made a great comeback in the second half. In the second half, the players of Madrid did not allow the players of Cadiz to create any attacking opportunities. In the second half we only saw the dominance of Madrid players. Brahim Diaz scored in the 51st minute. And Bellingham scored in the 68th minute. Joselu scored the last goal of the match after 90 minutes. An excellent 3-0 win for Madrid.

Looks like SRH will lose this one thanks to Sky who is literally carrying his team along with Tilak currently. I have no clue as to why Jansen was added back into the squad and why Cummins let him bowl more overs when compared to the others.

Poor captaincy! SRH lack a quality spinner which is another weird management decision. Looks like their playoffs qualification hangs in the balance.
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the match yesterday. There are two reasons first I will say that Mumbai Indians bowlers was really good in bowling like we can see Piyush Chawla and Hardik Pandya both were outstanding performance and both collected 3 3 wickets which put a great pressure. 170+ runs target is good target in my point of view. So there is second reason and I really appreciate the batting of Suryakumar Yadav he is the only one who made 102 runs. He deserves the man of the match award. Excellent performance by Mumbai Indians congratulations on their win.
I have noticed in most matches that the teams at the bottom of the points table have been playing well lately with those at the top of the points table. A shining example of that is the Royal Challengers Bangalore team who have won their last three matches and improved themselves a lot in the points table. I am really disappointed about yesterday's match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians because Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently losing despite being good. In the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Surya Kumar Yadav scored the only match winning innings due to which they easily won the match by 7 wickets. Mumbai Indians' net run rate has changed in the points table for their win in yesterday's match which has seen them move up by one step.

Every club in IPL has strong squads. Teams may not perform well due to players not being in form. But no party can be called weak. Mumbai and Bengaluru have not been on good terms since the start of the IPL. But Bangalore are in great form now. Bengaluru have won the last three matches consecutively. The team won by dominating all three matches

But at the moment Gujarat team is in the worst condition. The team has lost in the last three matches. And at the moment the last position in the table is occupied by Gujarat. Bengaluru, Punjab, Mumbai and Gujarat have all won four matches. These teams have no chance of getting into the top four of the table.

Manchester United will face Crystal Palace tonight and three points is most important for United to reach up 6th standings or Europe League spot place, Newcastle United and Chelsea have good result for this week and success dropping Manchester United to 7th standings awhile. I think very bad season for Manchester United if finish outside from European competition after impossible raise the Champion League spot place and Erik ten Hag have got Europe League spot in this season.

Crystal Palace had good performance since beating Liverpool and had four unbeaten matches in a row after three consecutives winning matches against Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle before being draw against Fulham. I think Crystal Palace has chance to defend their unbeaten until four matches in a row against Manchester United to secure from relegation position standings.
A bit of statistics about the teams in the upcoming match.
Crystal Palace has gained excellent form and has not lost for 4 matches - 3 wins and 1 draw. Manchester United has 1 win in the last 8 matches. In addition, the Mancunians have lost 5 consecutive away matches. "Eagles" defeated "Red Devils" in the 1st round and do not lose to them already 3 home matches in a row.

Londoners are good in recent matches. Such teams are maximally tuned to the grandees and give their best for the sake of the result. I think Palace have every chance to score today.

The match just started,

I am not so sure that Manchester United will actually be able to win against Crystal Palace because the thing is telling Manchester United is not performing as well as Crystal Palace is right now. The performance from Crystal Palace is actually far better compared to Manchester United. At least in the recent weeks. That is probably the only reason why I will say that Manchester United is not going to win the match.

my prediction is that the most probable outcome of this match is going to be a draw. At this moment it is really not smart to expect anything much from Manchester United. And Manchester United is mostly not finishing in the top six positions as well.

Ten Hag has to go
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should only hold Bitcoin on: May 06, 2024, 03:54:22 PM
I somewhat agree with what you've said. Bitcoin is the only "reliable" coin that you can hold for the long term. However, it doesn't mean that people should stop investing in other projects. A diverse portfolio is always better than hedging your bets on just one coin or asset. I also see potential in SOL, ETH, and other altcoins. Of course, research is crucial and you must not invest blindly.

Well it depends on the personal preference of each participant actually. Because if you are here long term like 10 or 20 years of investment, of course the most reliable digital asset that you can invest to that is available right now is Bitcoin. However, if you are just here short term so that you can play around with daily fluctuations then you can trade with major Altcoins like ETH, SOL, VET. Because there's no worry on it years from now. you're just there short term. You don't worry about fundamentals, you are just interested purely in possible 10x 100x or 50x of price of the coin short term.
Yes, it will depend on each person's investment taste because not everyone likes safety, many people are willing to accept risks to gain high profits. And in this case bitcoin is not the best choice, altcoin will be a more suitable choice.

I also don't deny bitcoin is the best but that doesn't mean I will ignore the bigger opportunities with altcoins. I think we should not be too stubborn and ignore the opportunities to gain huge profits from altcoins, which bitcoin cannot bring us.

People who are stubborn and try to impose their thoughts on others should not invest in altcoins, which reminds me of what gold investors also told early bitcoin investors. But as a result, because of their stubbornness, they missed the opportunity to own bitcoin when it was priced below $1k, $100 or $1.

If dominance of Binance in CEX market place and cryptocurrency market becomes bigger, it will be worse. We need more decentralized, more choices to purchase, trade our bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. We don't want too much centralization in Binance or only some big exchanges.

Decentralized is future we aim at but it will be harder with more and stricter regulations from governments.

Of course. Decentralization is the way. We can't patronize monopolies in the crypto/Blockchain space. The less power/influence CEXs have over the industry, the better. Binance dominated the market for long with its shady practices. Now it's ultimately paying the price. I don't think it will go away that easily, but we can say its dominance is diminishing by the day. Especially with CZ out of the picture.

I'm yet to see if BNB (powered by BSC) will survive. It's been having a hard time trying to attract new projects into it. Solana and Ethereum are leading the race. If Binance exchange fails, you can say bye-bye to BNB for good. Who knows what surprises we'll find in the future? Smiley

If I remember correctly, binance's dominance is still over 50% in the market, I don't think they will lose their dominance anytime soon. They are still doing very well compared to other exchanges even though they no longer have CZ. And even if Binance loses its dominance or disappears, there will be another centralized exchange to replace it. Complete elimination of CEX is impossible, and they will increasingly dominate this market as government regulations are enacted. I don't think the idea of a completely decentralized market is possible.

Today's match is between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challenger Bangalore, number ten in the points table. Whether Bangalore wins or not in today's game, if Gujarat Titans win, even a little positive feedback will favor Gujarat Titans. Still, the condition of Gujarat Titans is not very good. After losing four wickets in 12 overs, Gujarat collected only 80 runs. Chasing this small amount of runs, Royal Challenger Bangalore will win very easily. Anyway, good luck to both the teams.
I think today the previous match result gonna be repeating, because in the previous match even  Gujarat Titan set target over 200 run they lost against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. And in this match I think they won't gonna be took more than 160 to 150 run. So I think that chances of winning Gujarat Titan in this match very much low. I will gonna selecting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru for my betting today.

Gujarat team is going to face a shameful defeat in today's match as well. And if they lose today's match, it will be Gujarat's third defeat in a row.

The performance of Gujarat's batsmen was very poor. The team has given a target of only 148 runs. Along with the batsmen, the performance of Gujarat's bowlers is also very bad. Moreover, Bengaluru's batsmen are in good form. Bengaluru team collected 46 runs in 3 overs. The team is collecting more than 15 runs per over. Du Plessis remained unbeaten on 32 off just 12 balls. Kohli collected 14 runs off 6 balls. If this continues, the Bengaluru team will reach the target of victory within 12-13 overs.

Based on the news so far, Xavi is probably not interested in staying with Barcelona next season. Barcelona need to find a more experienced coach. If the coach is not experienced, we will not see the improvement of the situation of Barcelona. At the same time, the Barcelona management must prepare huge funds for the purchase of players. Even if the squad is not strong, I don't see any chance of improvement in Barcelona's overall performance.
This news continues to be confusing, first Xavi has decided to leave at the end of the season, but again comes with an agreement that he will stay with Barcelona until his contract expires in 2025, then added to the news you just brought, Xavi not interested in staying with Barcelona. In conclusion Barcelona management has no choice because looking for a new coach does not necessarily mean they want to manage a club with poor financial conditions. Like it or not Xavi is the only option they can still talk to. In the future, Laporta must also listen to Xavi input and desires to build the club. That's the only thing that can make Xavi feel comfortable as Barcelona coach. Regardless of Barcelona financial condition, this means there must be players to sell in the upcoming transfer market. De Jong also seems to need to be sacrificed for the umpteenth time, Manchester United may still be interested in making a further offer to De Jong.

You may be right. Currently, Barcelona management is not in a good financial situation. They don't have enough money. If Barcelona want to hire an experienced coach, Barcelona will have to spend a lot of money. At the same time, the new coach has to provide large funds to buy players according to the coach's choice. And at the moment it will be very difficult for Barcelona.

So Barcelona might ask Xavi to stay with Barcelona for one more season. But I have seen in several major news media that Xavi is no longer interested in staying with Barcelona. Still nothing can be said for sure. Xavi's decision is likely to change.

Barcelona having one of the worst performances this season, losing El Clasico home and away to Real Madrid and this is certainly no good news for them. Barcelona board have to restrategized and put the team back together. I don't think Xavi Hernandez will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, we have alot going on already but we should also understand the current horrible form Barcelona found themselves. They've struggled to win matches and also losing vital chances of lifting major titles.
The bad things experienced by Barcelona this season can only be improved last season because this season there is no longer time for Barcelona to make overall improvements. So Barcelona must take time after this season is over and continue to live the remainder of this season with optimism even though Barcelona did not win any trophies this season. And I think what Barcelona experienced this season was a serious blow to everyone in the team

Despite winning the La Liga title last season, Barcelona's performance this season has not been good. Especially I would say we don't see better performance than Barcelona in important matches. Barcelona team unexpectedly lost against Real Madrid. It's been a harrowing season for Barcelona fans. We expected a better performance from the big team from Barcelona.


so that Xavi Hernandez must find a way to bring Barcelona back to glory next season.

Bologna vs Torino

Quote from: Twitter
#Torino (3-4-1-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Buongiorno, Masina; Bellanova, Ricci, Ilic, Rodriguez; Vlasic; Sanabria, Zapata
#Bologna (4-1-4-1): Skorupski; Posch, Lucumi, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Ndoye, Fabbian, Aebischer, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee

Juventus has not been playing well at all currently. I think Bologna should be able to take advantage of that. They have a rather easy match going against to Torino you know. I said this is going to be easy because the performance from Torino has not been good in the last five matches. They only have one win in the last five matches and in the last four matches, they do not have a single win. That's why Bologna should look at this and take this as a chance for them to get ahead of Juventus drops points in the next match. Let’s see what happens. But I believe there are a lot of chances for different teams to finish in different positions this season from where they are right now.

However, do Liverpool current players have the quality to shoot long distances? because what I see is that Liverpool relies more on kicks in the penalty box area, not many players dare to have long-range execution instincts. Plus what Arne Slot implemented at Feyenoord is not necessarily suitable for Liverpool because each player has a different character. However there is no harm in trying to implement this as long as Arne Slot is able to see players who have the ability to shoot long distances. Liverpool have Trent Arnold who is strong enough for long distance matters, I don't see the rest.
Only both Salah and TAA are successful on kicks outside the penalty box, while the rest is just like in training lol.

Since Salah will leave Liverpool in the next season, so there's only TAA that have a good long ball skills. If Arne Slot join Liverpool and force his strategy to be played, I won't be surprised we will see Ten Hag v2.0 where he will sign many players that have been trained by him.

I think we are going to hear a lot of things like that right now. Because let's be honest, Liverpool is out of the title race and that's why a lot of things like these are supposed to come out now. At the same time, the media is also going to make the most out of it. They all need views now. they can go to any extent to get views. And they are going to make a big issue out of a simple thing. I think this could be something like that as well. I have never thought of himself as a selfish player. And for me, I actually do not care if any washed-up player who probably does not understand how football works right now calls him selfish. And he is a very important player for Liverpool still. Otherwise, he could have gone to the Saudi pro league if he wanted and got a lot of money.
