honestly speaking this was predictable since before Edinson Cavani started playing for manchester united, when i read that he chose not to accept benfica offer to go to manchester united i thought: " what is this guy thinking?" it was obvious that it would have no place in the initial 11 of Manchester United. it would only take place if every manchester united attacker got sick.. in barcelona is the best place for him to go, barcelona's style of play is most suitable for him In principle, when Cavani came to the club, there was some competition in the offensive line and there were still some prospects, but it is obvious that now these prospects have been buried with the arrival of Ronaldo at Manchester United. In the case of competition between these fairly old forwards for getting into the squad, it is quite obvious that the weight of the Portuguese is much higher and preference will be given to him. Therefore, his desire to change clubs is completely understandable, because Cavani is not at the age to patiently wait for his chance on the bench and would like to get to a club where there will be a guaranteed place in the starting lineup. Another question is whether Barcelona is such a club, going through a process of change with the arrival of Xavi as head coach. |

We have left the FP1 behind and it was really exciting. There was a very close gap between Hamilton and Verstappen. Hamilton ended it as the leader by only a 0.056 second gap. This even proves that we are gonna watch a very exciting qualifying session and race. But on the other hand, it is still early to talk like this. There are still two more Free Practice sessions.
Horner, Marko and in part Jos Verstappen need to get off of Max’ nuts and let him be himself and race. Instead they protect him from everything and everyone like their lives depends on it, let him learn from his mistakes instead of giving him a pass on everything. Max needs to get on with his life without these babysitters. Let everyone do their own thing and if this happens successfully enough, then why change the established state of things. Max should concentrate on racing and should not yet bother his head with other issues that may interfere with doing this effectively, especially when dealing with confrontation with his father and the leadership of his own team. I don't think that the influence of these people can have any significant impact on Verstappen's driving style and, accordingly, the results. Moreover, judging by the sound of negotiations with the team live during the race, Max is able to insist on his own point of view in tactical matters. |

One of the matches that I wonder about the most is Barcelona - Betis that is tomorrow. Barcelona are in a much better condition than before now. They owe this to Xavi's new game plan and discipline. And I think that their rise will continue by this match also. I'm quite aware that Betis are also in a good condition and even higher than Barcelona in the table. But Barcelona were quite dominant against Betis in Camp Nou considering their last two head-to-head matches and they can maintain this.
I wonder what it would be like to see Xavi keep it going or not. I mean Barcelona did not lose a game in La Liga since Xavi came aboard, but it is highly unlikely that they would finish the league never losing ever again. Tomorrow doesn't look like one of those games, Betis is 5th and they are ahead of Barcelona, but if Barcelona plays well enough then I would assume they have the talent to win, they shouldn't have been this low in standings anyway. I would say betting on Barcelona is a good deal, but it wouldn't be guaranteed at all, it is a risky game. On the other hand Real Madrid is going against Sociedad, I still think that Madrid will win, but it looks like it is quite possible to have Sociedad win in that game as well. Sociedad start the season amazingly but they have dropped a batch so far, could be a great game to start their comeback. In any case, Betis will defend his place in the standings and will try to at least keep Braselona away from him in the face-to-face confrontation. Moreover, the current Barcelona does not yet look like a club that can constantly dictate its will to an opponent, regardless of the place it occupies. Real Sociedad hosts Real Madrid on its field and is also unlikely to give tournament points to the leader without a fight, especially since he himself is in the process of chasing the leader. Therefore, a draw is likely in at least one of these matches, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it happens in both matches, because the opponents have close positions in the championship standings. |

I think Milan will score more goals. it will even be difficult for Salernitana to score. if it means Milan will score 3 Goals I believe it will be 3-0.
Is probably an easy winning for AC Milan. Because Salernitana are at the bottom of the standings and they also have a weak squad. Although, am not underrating Salernitana, they can play defensively to avoid losing. However, I think this is an opportunity for AC Milan to top the League. Napoli might play draw against Atalanta, and they are currently 1 point ahead of AC Milan on the table. Therefore, if Milan eventually wins, while Napoli draws. Then, Milan will surely take over their place. Indeed, it is difficult to expect a different result in a match between one of the leaders of the championship with an outsider, especially since the match will be held on Milan's home field. Another question is that in games against the leader, such clubs often have increased motivation and the desire to show the goods in the face of the players and light up in front of the grandee. But in theory, Milan should still achieve victory in this match. The meeting between Napoli and Atalanta, which has scored a good move in recent matches and is quite able to take points from the leader, should be much more persistent. Another question is that Lazio failed to do this in the last round and Napoli won a crushing victory. |

If Carrick is enough to make Manchester United's performance improve, I don't think Manchester United should sign Rangnick. What's more, Rangnick was only assigned to be interim coach until the end of the season, if to only make interim coach until the end of the season then I would prefer Carrick to stay.
I do agree with you. If the purpose is for an interim coach only, Carrick is enough to fill the position. Carrick proves to us that he can manage Manchester United players so well and he makes some improvements. It is proven by better results got by Manchester United in the last 2 matches. Unfortunately, Manchester United already made a deal with Rangnick previously. However, why did Manchester United never try to let Carrick manage Manchester United players first before looking for another coach? They must already think of this option, right? Yes, but the choice was already made. It is not necessary to make far-reaching conclusions based on just a few matches. I'm just afraid that the same dissatisfied conversations started about Carrick as about Solskjaer, when the results deteriorated. Also, Carrick has absolutely no experience as a head coach and it is quite obvious that Manchester United does not want a repeat of the situation with Ole Gunnar, despite the fact that Solskjaer still had some experience of independent work, but not at a top club. Moreover, Rangnik will not just temporarily serve as the head coach of Manchester United, but will also remain in the structure of the club. |

Cristiano Ronaldo was wishing to see him at Manchester United actually. And as far as I've heard, he indicated to the team board that he would really like to work with Zinedine Zidane.
Ronaldo cannot force Man United management to sign Zidane. Moreover, the chance to sign him is very small. Zidane isn't a coach that can be easier to persuade, he is a very tricky person. I heard a rumor that his goal is to be a Franch national coach and PSG already negotiated him to replace Pochettino. I assume he prefers to manage PSG than Man United. Ronaldo's opinion certainly has some significance due to the status of the player and his influence on the team's game, but in any case, this opinion cannot be decisive for the management of a club like Manchester United, especially since this management would be happy to appoint a French specialist to the post of head coach without it. Much more crucial is the opinion of Zidane himself, and it is not in favor of Manchester United, both because of his personal reluctance to work in the Premier League because of his not very brilliant command of English, and because of the reluctance of Zidane's family in the person of his wife, who is not eager to move to England, especially to Manchester. Therefore, I consider even the recently appeared option of inviting Mancini to this post more likely, although I still consider the option with Pochettino more likely. |

What an incredible night, man! Lazio - Udinese game was just something else. Udinese got 3-1 ahead and shocked me honestly. Because I was hoping to see Lazio getting a comfortable win as they lost two times in a row and they needed a win to recover. However, Lazio still made an insane comeback and got 4-3 ahead. While everyone was thinking that it would end up with this score, Udinese player Tolgay Arslan scored in the 90+9th minute and saved his team. It was a wonderful game which ended by 4-4. I was absolutely delighted with it.
Undoubtedly, everyone is absolutely delighted with this match, but I'm not sure that this also applies to Lazio fans. Still, losing the victory in the 9th minute added is a very tough disappointment, especially since Lazio lost the chance to match points with Fiorentina, Juventus and Bologna. When Immobile's goal was not counted at the end of the regular time of the match due to the offside position, for some reason I thought that it could cost Lazio dearly and it really happened. An incredible 3-0 in the second half of the match in favor of Lazio and the victory turned into 3-1 and a draw. In any case, I would like to express my gratitude to both clubs for their diligence and frantic struggle until the last seconds of the match. |

The sad part for Dortmund is that everyone expected Lewa to be winning the big award, and he failed to get it, not that he didn't deserve it but they still gave it to Messi who unlike most people online I won't say he didn't deserve it, I believe they both deserved it and it went to Messi. Lewandowski could be very mad about this, and I am not really putting "5 goals in 9 minutes" type of performance behind him right now.
I am not saying he will do that again, all I am saying is that with the fire they lit under Lewa, Bayern will win the league and even maybe UCL if they do not get unlucky, because dude could be mad as hell. He deserved it last year as well, and now he deserved it this year, sure Messi is a great player but he already got 6, could have been better to give it to Lewa just for making it more interesting if you ask me. In any case I believe that Lewa will play to win and will be amazing this game.
Undoubtedly, Lewandowski was no less deserving of receiving the Golden Ball than Messi, if not more. The current awarding of the prize to the Argentine raises a lot of questions from people who are not Messi fans. Messi is undoubtedly an outstanding player and has earned his status with his game, but still it's time to give the prize to the really best player at this point in time, and not according to the totality of merits for his career. Lewandowski continues to show incredible stability by constantly scoring for Bayern, so I agree with the opinion of the President of Bayern Herbert Heiner, Ibrahimovic and many others that Lewandowski deserved to receive the Golden Ball and awarding him the prize for the best striker is not a worthy compensation. |

A very good decision made by the management of Man United by making Carrick as interim coach. Since Carrick was in control, Man United has continued to show positive results so far. Will it be better after Rangnick takes over, because in terms of quality and experience Rangnick is much better. At least for the time being Man United supporters can be happy with Man United's performance which is getting better after being left by Solskjaer. Ralf Rangnick has finally received a work permit from the British government, so when Man United face Crystal Palace this will be Rangnick's debut as Man United manager. After the excellent results shown by Carrick, will put pressure on Rangnick to be able to continue the positive results obtained by Man United. It's really interesting to see Rangnick's debut, Man United should be able to beat Crystal Palace easily, if we look at Crystal Palace's recent bad performance with two consecutive defeats.
Well, Carrick still remains at the club and will continue to work in the coaching staff of Manchester United already as an assistant to Rangnik. In any case, the decision has already been made and the contract with the Rangnik has already been signed and obtaining a work permit was no longer such an essential detail. Given Manchester United's not the greatest stability in the results, I would personally be wary of claiming an easy victory over Crystal Palace in the upcoming match. Another question is that Manchester United should continue to gain points to improve their standings and where else but in matches with such opponents it is worth doing. |

Yeah, things are going in the way just Real Madrid would like now. Currently, they have a five-game winning streak in the La Liga. And they have a quite nice gap with Atletico which are at the second position now (7-point gap). Real Sociedad have the same points with Atletico too and they are Real Madrid's next competitor to beat. But this time may not be that easy. A. Bilbao game was a hard one too for Real Madrid and this could be even tougher. But I don't think they would lose either.
I don't think Real Madrid is in a mood to lose right now. They seem to win everything at the moment. But I do have to say that the last match was a little tough. But I still think that they really dominated that match even though a lot of people will disagree with me. And I don't think that they will lose the next match either. Actually, no self-respecting person is ever in the mood to lose  Therefore, I am not sure that Real Sociedad is determined to lose, but let's say they do not want to make every effort to beat Real Madrid  Moreover, the game will take place on its own field and there are excellent chances to get three points closer to the leader in the face of Real Madrid in case of a win. Although if Courtois and Benzema continue to do their job as in the previous match, then Real Madrid really has a chance at least not to lose. Also, let's not forget that Atletico still has one game left to close the gap to four points. But of course, the main battle between Atletico and Real Madrid will be in a full-time match in a week and a chance to further reduce the difference in points. |

Each government has different jurisdiction and government protect against fraud which is the bank was under by the government and banks are regulated by the government, they should always obey the government's law and regulation either. There's no way to challenge the government, it is understood that you should obey once you are a citizen but if not, you can move into other countries that never care about people, which is very common to have crimes every day because there is no government that has protected people.
Exactly banks have complex regulations not only under the governement of a country but also under the world banks. And world bank really has a big power to do many things. Fiat banks are centralized systems. And they will also not let decentralized bank systems to defeat. We have seen in many countries where cryptocurrency and also decentralized finances are against the government because they cannot control them. Yes, that is why the government will still maintain fiat banks whatever happen because they can regulate and control the banks. And moreover right now there is issue of Cbdc that can make a country have more interests In principle, cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance can get along quite well with fiat banks and there are no insurmountable contradictions in this matter. It's like a question of coexistence in the market of huge corporations, small companies and small businesses. There are some points of contact here, as well as completely different fields of activity that involve different specialization. In any case, regulation in the financial and banking sector is handled by the government and it will always have the last word, no matter what other opinions we have on this matter. Therefore, it is quite difficult or almost impossible to imagine a situation where banks will act against the state and policy in this area. It's just that while cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance are a new phenomenon and government agencies have not yet decided on the schemes of interaction in this area, but in any case, these schemes will be found and let's hope that they are quite favorable. |

We also have 2 possibilities to get Max and Lewis tie before the last GP and one it is not so hard.
If Hamilton will win and does the fastest lap with Max second and the second one is very improbable almost impossible and I forgot it.
It will be epic if they both have the same amount of points before the last race.
Which is what most likely what will happen. I am not sure about the fastest lap, I am pretty sure that if Hamilton is at first, Max won't be too far behind enough to give Hamilton a tire change chance, and that means we are going to see Hamilton being first, and someone like perez taking his fastest lap as usual. However, the difference will be simply just 1 points after this race if that happens. We are going to see an amazing race at the last race. I am actually worried about a crash, because I rather watch both races and both racers finishing without any crash deciding on the winner of the championship. I am sure both of them will be extra careful because if you crash into someone and you are DNF but other person continues then you are going to be losing the championship for sure. Whereas if you end up with no crash, worst would be just being around the person in championship. Let's see what happens but next race will be just insane, it is going to be last race and it is going to be incredibly entertaining. Actually, besides Perez, there is Valtteri Bottas, who is also quite able to make the best lap But I agree that both Red Bull and Mercedes will do everything possible so that neither Hamilton nor Verstappen won an extra point for the best lap. In theory, with a favorable combination of circumstances, an exciting race with an unpredictable plot can be expected, at least all the prerequisites for this are available. I think that Bottas and Perez can play their direct role in this tournament fight, and I have more expectations in this matter from Bottas, whose technical condition of the car should allow him to impose the fight on the leaders in the person of Hamilton and Verstappen and wedge into the tournament positions in the race directly between the leaders. |

There is a new hope for Milan now to advance to the 1/8 finals. Because they got a really tough win against Atletico Madrid in Spain by a late goal. And now, they are only one point behind the team at the second position which are Porto. Of course, Atletico Madrid have a chance too as they have the same points with Milan even though they have one less goal advantage than Milan. And I don't think that Porto will be able to continue in the CL. It feels like Atletico Madrid will draw with Porto and Milan will draw with Liverpool in the worst case. But Milan will have to win to continue in that case. Let's see which team will make it!
If Milan are able to beat Liverpool on the 7th of December. Then, they might advance to the next round. Although, Winning Liverpool in the Champion League is not an easy task, remember Liverpool haven't lost or draw any of their CL matches so far, they won in their last 5 matches in the CL. Nevertheless, in Champion League, no club are weak, but Milan have to be well prepared for this game. While Porto are presently at the 2nd place on the group table, and how they preforms in their next match, will determine if they will probably advance to round 16 or not. I will love to watch the group B matches, because it will surely be interesting. In any case, knowing the character of Jurgen Klopp and the style of play of modern Liverpool, Milan should not count on easily achieving the necessary result in the last round. Liverpool tries to play to the maximum in any matches and despite the fact that the club has already solved all the tournament tasks in the Champions League, I think that the maximum result that Milan can claim is a draw. Especially considering Milan's not entirely successful game in the domestic championship. Therefore, the outcome of the match between Porto and Atletico is of great importance, where the winner of the match immediately solves the problem of reaching the next stage, regardless of the outcome of the confrontation between Milan and Liverpool. |

Yes, but I'm happy that Madrid won. Even Madrid have fewer goal-kicks. I think madrid were unlucky but they were more effective. I was quite blown away by Vinicius' movement and goals, he was like Neymar or mesi dancing and making beautiful goals. I think he should be the man of the match.
Sevilla had plenty of chances but unfortunately they were poor in finishing. They should have won if all the chances had resulted in a goal.
You are right, they are more effective than Sevilla. In the next match Real Madrid will host Athletic Bilbao at home [Santiago Bernabeu]. I think Bilbao are also a strong team this season, they have a strong defense so there is a possibility that it will be a very interesting game to look forward to. I'm sure Madrid will win, but by no more than 2 goals. Bilbao is a team that might be difficult to beat this season although in most matches they have 8 draws and 2 defeat [. Strong defense is a good advantage of them. Of course, in any case, the main final indicator in football remains the number of goals scored, and this number at Real Madrid turned out to be one more. Another question is that such efficiency in the last minutes is akin to luck and may well not play in the next match. Therefore, you should not be too flattered by such winnings and it is worth making more efforts to achieve the necessary result with more thorough actions. Actually, I don't know where you got this information from, but according to my information, Real Madrid will hold the next match against Real Sociedad, and Athletic Bilbao will hold the match only at the very end of the year on December 31. |

I have heard that Arsenal are also in the race to sign Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling. As far as I know, the other team after him are Barcelona now. And it is also claimed that Raheem Sterling has already said to his team that he wants to leave the team to join a new one which he could have more chances in the starting eleven. Maybe he played in 11 Premier League games but he didn't play for 90 minutes or so in most of them. In case he leaves, I wonder which club he will choose to go. If there are only these alternatives, then Barcelona would be a better choice.
Josep Guardiola has given the green light for Raheem Sterling to move to another club. We all know Sterling is not happy with Man City, not getting regular playing time. So far, there are two teams that are most serious about signing Sterling, namely Barcelona and Arsenal. Indeed, most English players prefer to play in the EPL, but Sterling has stated that he is ready to seek experience playing abroad. So there is an opportunity for Barcelona to get Sterling, indeed what you say is true, Barcelona is the best choice if Sterling want to get a trophy. The problem is that Barcelona is still experiencing a financial crisis, very different from Arsenal, which has much healthier finances. So Barcelona might lose out to Arsenal, if Arsenal offer a higher purchase and also Arsenal can provide a higher salary than Barcelona. We'll see which team Sterling will choose, if Sterling wants to win many trophies, Sterling will definitely reject Arsenal's offer. In fact, the proximity of many trophies and Barcelona still looks quite sarcastic in light of the problems that have enveloped Barcelona in a dense cloud. There was information that Barcelona would ask Sterling to halve his current salary in the event of a transfer, which by no means increases the possibility of a likely transfer. Therefore, it is not entirely clear how long this transition period will last in Barcelona, which may interfere with winning titles. Arsenal do not have such problems in the financial sphere, but so far the team does not give the impression of a club with ambitions similar to the recent Barcelona, but for this the transfer company will be held and maybe Sterling's transfer will contribute to the appearance of a large number of titles at Arsenal |

So far, Carrick is even better at responding to the game strategy he is trying to implement. It shows how he plays an attacking strategy that can match his opponent. Here I see a match for Carrick who is more active in providing guidance than Ole who usually sits in the chair when their players are threatened.
As usual Man United played with little possession. I think they will lose, because Chelsea are so dominant. But I saw Sancho's goal excited them. I'm sure a lot of bettors misconded last night's game. Carick is good, it looks like he's good enough to give strategy and instructions to players. He's more willing to bring in different players than Ole. I thought Carick's contribution was pretty good until last night. He dared to back up Ronaldo, and took it down in stoppage time. I think he's quite visionary, he knows he doesn't want to make ronaldo a source of strength and victory. Because I think carick understands he won't be able to play much longer. It's just that different coaches have different characters and different manners of reaction to events that develop on the field. There are opinions of some reputable coaches that the main work of the coach should be carried out during the intervals between matches, and not directly during the match, when the players themselves should decide the outcome of the match. And such a point of view has the right to life, because if the command mechanism of the game is well built, then there is no strong need for violent reactions on the edge of the field. In any case, Michael Carrick will remain the acting head coach of Manchester United until Rangnik receives a work visa. |

Sometimes unexpected results happen. I would say Napoli beating Lazio 4-0 was unexpected as well but not the win side, it was the goal difference that was unexpected, I still expected Napoli to win for sure. What we saw with Milan was the real shocking result, nobody expected them to lose but in football there is a saying "ball is round" and anything could happen.
So, I think 3 point difference is not a lot, it could be covered as soon as next week or maybe later so there is really no need for Milan to worry about just yet. However, they have a very old forward line so if this is more about fatigue and how they are getting worse and worse by the end (just like last year) then it is not going to be something simple for them. I think the defense wasn't as good as it should be this game so I do not blame offense here, but let's see how they will react to it next week.
Milan should not worry about the gap from Napoli, but about the recent results that led to this gap. Still, a draw and two defeats in the last three matches of the championship are not the results that should inspire confidence in the final positive outcome of the championship race. In any case, it is not critical yet and it is probably better to lose tournament points now than at the end of the championship, but still these losses can play a role in the battle for the title at the end of the season. Napoli showed the right reaction to a series of not quite successful recent matches and defeated Lazio, showing that the team continues to fight for the championship. |

PSG is not an exciting team to watch play football these days even with the A-list players in the squad, they really lack teamwork and there is no good connection between the players. Neymar is playing so terribly, Messi's performance is not top notch and mbappe is not efficient today. I don't know if to blame the the coach, because even with their extra man advantage, they are still not impressive. I'm not impressed by their performance.
Quite a long time ago it was mandatory to watch the absolute most complete and stylishly satisfying player yet we're missing out perfect teamwork. They played but their up to the mark. Few have criticized Messi for not having any assists or goals but in today's match he have three assists. Messi, yet Neymar, Mbappe most prominent players and will rebound. Well, here we need to look at the match with which opponent Messi made his three assists It would be quite an amazing fact if Paris Saint-Germain, having such a composition, would give way to an outsider. Also, do not forget that Saint-Etienne spent the entire second half with one player less than the more stellar opponents. Therefore, I still agree to some extent with the critical comments. The bad news for Paris Saint-Germain is Neymar's injury. The good news is the long-awaited debut of Sergio Ramos in the French championship. I would not like such a situation when the appearance of one player in the squad is accompanied by the loss of another player for a long time, so we wish Neymar as little as possible consequences from injury. |

Arsenal had one of their most comfortable games today against Newcastle. As Newcastle were at the last position in the league standings and had no victory yet, they seemed to be an easy prey. And Arsenal didn't surprise their supporters by winning the game with a certain result like 2-0. In fact, Arsenal would have scored a few more goals too. For example, they missed two big opportunities in the first half. Aubameyang literally missed a huge goal chance. But Newcastle were so bad that Arsenal still won the game without having much problem.
Yes, Newcastle's tournament results are terrible and the new owners of the club need to do something urgently, otherwise, instead of dreaming about building a team of superstars, they will need to do not so bright work to return the team to the Premier League. Therefore, a meeting with such an opponent cannot be an indicator of special strength, but still Arsenal lifted their spirits to some extent after the defeat from Liverpool in the previous round. However, in the next round he will face a much more difficult game away from Manchester United and there will already be a completely different level of resistance and stakes. |

Its the point Manchester earned against Chelsea that mattered most to me in the game it wasn't just like the other easy games where united were like preys. Carrick did a great job as each team struggled to give more goals. Rudiger and Fred missed out on goals that would have given either side edge over the other. Nice game good improvement, a better coach is now available to united so let's watch the game from now to see the united we all expect
Yes, that's my point. The fact that Man Utd didn't get slapped with 3-6 goals and a defeat to go along with it goes to show the improvement and changes the team has undergo in the last one week. Everyone was expecting Chelsea to win but it was interesting to see Chelsea struggling to find the net halfway through the game and were than happy to get that penalty and a point. Tuchel tried everything but man utd stood their ground. I was impressed. I don't get impressed a lot by mab Utd but I was, today. Manchester United has a good squad and has some potential to improve its tournament position. With all due respect to Michael Carrick, but still, we will see the main changes in the Manchester United game model only when Rangnik directly takes up his coaching duties. By the way, Carrick, the acting head coach, was dissatisfied with the draw result of the meeting and disappointed that the team missed the victory, leading during the match. On Monday, the appointment of Rangnik to the post should be officially announced and the club will receive a new interim coach for a longer period of six months And there, as circumstances will develop, but it seems that the Rangnik will appear in the structure of the club seriously and for a long time. |
