1461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 19, 2024, 09:09:19 PM

Beating Fiorentina and advancing to the final of the Italian Super Cup was the expected result, a sign of revival to restart what they lost before. The Italian Super Cup is Napoli only hope this season, because in my opinion that is the trophy that is closest and most likely for them to achieve. However, another fact is who their opponents will be in the final. If Inter Milan manages to beat Lazio then Napoli chances of winning the trophy are probably very low. Because we know that Inter are very strong this season, it will be difficult for Napoli to beat them, but we'll see who knows if Lazio will have greater luck.

Overall, in my opinion, the 3-0 victory over Fiorentina cannot be used as a complete reference, to say that Mazzarri squad has marked a turning point in performance. In the future, Napoli will face Lazio again in Serie A, a match that is relevant to see Napoli strength, whether they have really recovered and are fighting to finish in their rightful place. Many doubt Napoli at the moment, especially after two changes of coach, and key player Osimhem is not performing at his best in this season.
Napoli who are current champions of Italy have performed poorly in the league this season and sincerely the win against Fiorentina wasn’t expected but it seems they’re taking this cup more serious as this could be their only title for the season. Now they’re in the final amd could face either Inter or Lazio which are 2 strong and better teams. Facing Inter would be pretty worse than playing Lazio as Inter are better composed than Lazio and would offer more strength and fight as they’ve got a better team. Well for Lazio we’ll wait to see how they fair in the 2nd leg when they play Lazio soon then we’ll know how the fixture could go.

 Well I don’t think Napoli are at their very best especially as they let the coach who helped them with the league go and the hate on their star man, Victor. Now the team’s performance is going down and it’s quite worrisome but they can try to get this cup to at least redeem the fans happiness.

Expensive compared to what? Do you remember how much Mudrik cost? Or Anthony? These are mediocre players (at least for now) but they paid a lot of money for them because that’s the way the transfer market is now (Saudis and everything else). There are no guarantees that the transfer will be successful (although Haaland is already an accomplished player and wherever he played he scored a lot of goals), there is a possibility that what happened with Hazard will happen, but this does not mean that big transfers should not be made at all.
As for prices, taking into account the signing bonus of 130 million that Mbappe will receive, there is no difference between “buying out” the player or paying a signing bonus - the final price will be approximately the same.
And the likelihood that Mbappe and Haaland will play for Real at the same time is zero, both want to be the “first fiddle” and will never agree to such competition, especially Mbappe since he does not play the tip of the attack, but rather a position under the striker, so it may turn out that the whole the statistics will benefit Haaland.

Well Mbappe or Haaland to Real is quite crazy and could be seen as probably not gonna happen because they are supposed to take over the boots of Leo and Ronaldo. Yes the fee for the both could be quite crazy but ain’t a big deal for Real, however among the above stated players, Mbappé is the most likely to move to Madrid, with reasons that Haaland still got a long contact with City and it would cost Madrid a lot cause of his release clause, whereas Mbappé just have some months left and would cost them not very much to lure him to the Bernabeu.

 The Saudis and some oil clubs are one reason why we’ve got crazy transfer fee in football. Like when you compare the likes of Caicedo, Mudryk, Anthony and how much they’re offering to their clubs and how much the likes of Mbappe or Haaland can offer then that alone should make their transfer fee bizzare. Well the competition between these 2 will be one reason they won’t be able to play for same club because they both want to be on the lime light Nd not hiding under the shadow of the other.

Actually, yesterday’s match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid was really tough. Although Atletico Madrid tried their best, and I can say that together with luck, if not, Real Madrid played well in yesterday’s game. You can’t say that Real Madrid was badly beaten by Atletico Madrid, but you can just say that Atletico Madrid tried their best and struggled to win a great team like Real Madrid, because if you watch the match, you will see that even the performance of Real Madrid was more accurate than that of Atletico Madrid, but due to luck, Atletico Madrid were able to win the game in extra time.

The extra time that Atletico Madrid even struggled to win was too long because, if you are very observant, you will find out that Real Madrid players were very excused, and I still believe in Real Madrid, but let’s just take yesterday’s match results as a normal game that usually happens. I will say Kudus to both teams that played yesterday. It was not an easy task.
Atletico got a victor at overtime against Real Madrid in a match that was so intensed after 90 minutes. Yes we must credit how they worked hard for the victory but we mustn’t fail to also give all to luck which played a great role for them in that victory. In the extra time, you can tell that the Real Madrid players were exhausted especially as they’ve gone through more extra times of recent and this alone can be exhausting. Athletico got the best of them and laid their strength on their weaknesses.

 Kudos to both teams as yea they both played excellently well thereby Jude getting the MOTM award was evenly merited. This is Madrid's second defeat of the season and it got them kicked out of a domestic cup (the Copa del Ray) tournament, the player's especially Bellingham would sad for missing out on a journey to his 1st finals with Madrid, but I believe they'll learn from their mistakes in the match and bounce back stronger, I trust Ancelotti to motivate them into recovering quickly from the defeat.

Messi left as a free agent, if I'm not mistaken, so did Ramos. they let go of Neymar, because PSG saw an opportunity to profit from Al Hilal. moreover, Neymar is very prone to injury. currently PSG only has Mbappe, there is no choice for PSG to change their philosophy. from mega star projects, now it is dominated by young players. PSG actually doesn't recruit mediocre players, Dembelle is Barcelona's mainstay player. Goncalo Ramos is a young talent, Kolo Muani has talent that can be developed. plus, the current PSG coach is quite accomplished, at least he won the treble winner if I'm not mistaken with Barcelona in his first season. Apart from that, in the second season Enrique won two wins with Barcelona. at least, he was a pretty good coach. the reason is, not all coaches are able to handle a top team filled with many stars. there are egos among the players, there is also competition, but Enrique is able to handle it well, especially in the dressing room.

With PSG, he did the same thing. now, disputes between players can no longer be heard despite the departure of Messi and Neymar. Just look, how Enrique brings PSG better than Galtier without Messi, Neymar, Ramos and several other players. he proved his worth, that he is a worthy coach. in this season, I'm sure that Enrique is fully aware that his team is not strong enough to compete with other top European teams. But at least, he and his squad will always try to work as hard as possible. In the next season, if Enriue is still trusted as PSG coach, maybe he will be given full support to bring in the players he wants.  Apart from that, Enrique's current task is to build his team so that it becomes more established and brings out the talent and potential of its players. that means, he is building the team's mentality to achieve what both the coach and the club want.
Well you're right, Messi and Sergio Ramos really needed to leave the team, it needed immediate structuring that's why had to let go of the Super stars Messi and the rest, sell off Neymar for a worthy offer to the Saudi side, to fund new young talented recruits, well though they didn't start up quite well, but they're doing pretty good currently and with the right coach like Enrique who's achieve quite a lot and with experience, I think their new project would he quite successful sooner or later.

 Well judging from Enrique's past experience, it was quick sure that doing very good in their domestic league was assured, even though, Nice tried to pull a stunt at the beginning of the season by shaking PSG a bit, they've still humbled and PSG is at their rightful position. Enrique have tried in capturing their domestic league but now he has to work on helping them doing better in the UCL even though it means them reaching the Semi's, it would really boost them to do better, next season with or without the presence of Mbappé.

Mohammad Salah can always be the focus when he plays for his club or for his country and it will be detrimental for the club and Egypt if he is injured, and I agree with you, maybe the match will go differently if Salah plays because he is smart enough in terms of breaking the deadlock his team is experiencing, and opportunities It looks like they have a tough time not only having to win the third match but also depending on the results of the other matches.

Nigeria being able to win against Ivory Coast was quite extraordinary because they were under quite intense pressure from Ivory Coast and one penalty kick was enough for them to get 3 points and keep their chances, and for Ivory Coast this was not pleasant because they should have been able to ensure they passed a group phase and failed in the few opportunities they had were a bad note for their performance.
Mo Salah injury is a scare for both club and his country presently at the AFCON. Though Egypt quite thrilled us without Salah as they were able to be composed and get the draw against Ghana but will they be able to keep up that performance for long?

 Nigeria's  victory against Ivory Coast was from a nice game play of letting the host enjoy their football on their soil and then one opportunity at goal and take it and that worked. Now Nigeria have higher chances of the Round of 16 than the host This result means much work for the host im their final match. I think now AFCON is coming to live and that’s what viewers love to see,  not what happened about a week ago, where the underdogs became the Victorious.

I don't know what the board is thinking, even though they should retain a coach who has made a good contribution and can provide trophies because changing coaches may not necessarily produce the same results as Napoli at the moment. Instead they have experienced a drastic decline after sacking Spalleti and changing 2 coaches since Spalleti's departure but it has not had a significant impact, any problems between the coach and the board should be discussed well and the board should not take decisions that will ultimately destroy the club itself.

Jose Mourinho was fired because perhaps the management felt that Jose Mourinho did not meet their expectations and Roma did not achieve the expected results, whereas perhaps what the board hoped for was that Roma could compete in the Champions League, while Jose Mourinho could only provide competition tickets in the European league, despite Roma's condition. Currently, it is not easy for coaches to build performance and it is true that it takes time which is not for a while.
Well the board has decided and though their decision was a bot cray and irrational. Because they could have looked at Napoli who made some decision and look at what they’re facing currently. Jose gave this Roma team some success rating in hos first 2 seasons and now because of a little decline they let him go. Well i feel this decision will come hunting on them in no time as with the mew coach I don’t think they’ll be able to go beyond the Round of 16 oF the UEL.

 Well he didn’t meet their UCL expectation and that’s why he was fired, I think this time it could be worse because they might not meet any European qualification still then they’ll realize what they’re in for, well I don't wish them bad but I just hope their new coach is equal to the task or would even get them into another UEL finals like José Mourinho did.

Yes, I have also heard this rumor but I don't know, in my opinion borrowing Benzema from Ittihad is not a bad thing rather than having to buy him at a very expensive price. Currently Arsenal really needs a productive striker and Benzema is a good choice even though Benzema is old and maybe His stamina is different but his performance is still good during the season. He has provided 11 goals and 5 assists so far in 17 matches so he is no worse than the striker that Arsenal currently has.

In my opinion, this is not a setback, Mikel Arteta has definitely thought about this carefully, so they are just borrowing him, maybe only until this season ends so that Arsenal doesn't suffer big losses even though they have to pay Benzema very expensively, and hopefully if the rumors This is really happening. I would be very happy to see Benzema return to the European league and compete in the big league again, even if not at Real Madrid.
Benzema on loAn to Arsenal is what’s best for them at least to help them regain confidence this 2nd half of the season. He’s quite of age currently and might not be able to perform at top level but at least him leading the attack can be the difference they needed.

 Well this isn’t a setback as this isn’t a permanent transfer. This move will even help the other players and spur up motivation and win level of the team and I’m sure Arteta knows what he’s doing with this transfer, as we know Benzema is an experienced player, though he's not really had a very good time at the Saudi side, but I believe with the right players and right coach by him side to encourage him, he'll do better and also aid them upfront in times when experience is needed, mostly in the Champions League. I’ll love to see how Arsenal will fair and I believe there’ll be tremendous growth in the general team when Benzema arrives.

There is no need to compare these two superstars anymore because each fan has their own point of view on the player they idolize. It is clear that these two players have succeeded in making history for the club and also individual achievements. The rivalry between the two has ended since both of them no longer play for clubs in Europe, now Ronaldo is still able to maintain his stamina well by contributing to the team he plays for.

I admit that Ronaldo is like a robot, he seems to resist aging with his physique which is still very good, he is still able to run throughout the match without feeling tired even though he is already 38 years old. Luckily we can live in their golden age so we can watch live matches played by Ronaldo or Messi. In the past, we only heard about the greatness of Pele or Maradona, but never watched the matches they played directly.
Ronaldo and Messi are known currently to be world football stars and they have this effect on every team they're in, the fans and football in general. They're two comparisons that just can't be exhausted. Their style of football varies but are top notch.
Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr had impact on the club in terms of fan building and gameplay, Al Nassr came to the spotlight and they had more recognition and views in their games than before.
For Messi, he has thesame effect in Inter Miami as Ronaldo did in Al Nassr. The both players are appreciated in their respective teams and they're the reason why our of the blue the two clubs are watched closely by fans.

 For the game between Al Nassr and Inter Miami, there's a reason why it's fixed and other than normal European contests, that game is one that'd be the center of attraction in the world. Everyone wants to see the world best players against themselves one more time. I anticipate the game also, although I percieve that Al Nassr would have an upper hand against Inter Miami but let me not predict. The game is one that'll surely bring back the most heated argument of who's the best player amongst the two men and I really can't wait for the result.

We cannot say that Ajax has returned to their best performance, they only won by 1 goal against Go Ahead. Many say that Ajax is better than AZ Alkmaar and Twente this season so they will be able to get second place in the standings. But I think it's too much. Ajax now just has to focus on doing what should be done. They have to fix some mistakes and weaknesses for next season. I think it is still possible for them to get the European league at the end of the season.
The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too. For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too. They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play.

 They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The second half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too.

It's really hard to predict anything at this moment
I've been analyzing, and the 4 teams are also participating in the European championships

Porto is the only team qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League, and they're the team that will face the most difficult opponent, Arsenal
If Porto are disqualified, they can focus entirely on the Portuguese championship and get a better spot
Sporting, Braga and Benfica are in the Europa League and are the favorites in their next games, maybe they will play more games than Porto

It's important to keep an eye on these leagues, because in my opinion they have a direct influence on the championship
In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the European cups too. Benfica did well at securing the three points in their last game with a good goal margin. It only shows how set they are for the task put before them.
 
 Although a lesser performance wasn't expected from them though but they're definitely a stable team in the league
The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

Yes, having Haaland will increase the attacking power for the better, but if we flashback to last season when in the semi-finals and final of the UCL he couldn't do anything because his movements were always broken by Madrid and Inter Milan's back line, actually I don't think so either. Haaland can do a lot in the UCL this season, even though he has always been Guardiola's mainstay in the front line. KDB's return is actually more than enough.

Without Haaland, it seems that Manchester City will be fine in facing their opponents in the UCL. I think they will be successful again this season in reaching the final because Manchester City has risen from adversity since KDB managed to recover from injury. I also hope that Manchester City will win the title again this season. this is as perfect as they did last season, no matter without Haaland I think with the main squad which is currently more than enough in my view.

The round of 16 will soon start where they will face Copenhagen who managed to become Runner UP in group A which is quite difficult but they managed to escape with a surprise, I think Manchester City cannot underestimate them, even so they could make things difficult for Manchester City later.
By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors.
Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen.

 Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that Manchester City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too. Copenhagen as the underdogs would try their best but City would qualify for the next round.

Madrid actually did the best they could do but it was Athletico night from the beginning and they deserved to win. During the week, Real madrid played the super cup on extra time against same Athletico, follow by the final with Barcelona and then the kings cup, extra time upon extra time. Madrid players looked stressed and fatigued. This greatly affected the players performance and it's very obvious especially during the extra time. Madrid lost the match but they deserve some praise for their outstanding performance all this while because playing against top teams within a short interval flying from one city to another is not an easy task.

Nevertheless, Madrid need to get a well established central defender and also a forwarder because this issue of rotating every game is slowly killing the team. I expected to see the same XI used against Barcelona and probably some change in the second half but everything entirely was different. I also consider benching Kroos as a mistake in a game with high intensity like that.
Yesterday's Madrid Derby game ended with Atletico being the winners after Real Madrid held them back with a 2-2 draw. They found a way to net additional 2goals within the extra time period and it counted for them as a victory. Real Madrid has had the upper hand in most of their games, well it was only fair that Atletico won the game because it'll be most talked about that Real Madrid would take all the Spanish trophies this season. So their winning was technically relevant to create a balance in the country's contests.

 Nonetheless, Real Madrid are unwavering in their ability to keep up with good game tempo and I bet that yesterday's loss won't have a thing on them in their subsequent LA Liga face offs. They're exquisitely good on the pitch and good results are surely expected from them.

I think Fenerbahce have made nice transfers in this transfer window so far. Bonucci is a good addition to the defense line by a free transfer. Maybe he is 36 years old but I don't think he will perform badly. He had huge experience especially at Juventus. I'm pretty sure he will transfer his experience to his new team to make Fenerbahce defense stronger. They have signed Krunic on loan which is another decent signing.

Like you rightly said, Fenerbahce have actually made important signing recently as they try to make sure the protect their lead at the top till the end of the current season. Leonardo Bonnucci is a veteran defender who's no longer in his prime but I think his wealth of experience is gonna be helpful to the team.

Galatasaray haven't been as effective in the transfer market like their rivals Fenerbahce but that doesn't stop me from seeing them as the favorites to win the league title despite the fact that they're currently trailing Fenerbahce by two points at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table
Age is beckoning on a lot of players and they've just got to do what is left before retirement. Now every man has his own decision to make based on how it pleases him. Bonnuci has been a great player, his tremendous effort every team building he's been a partaker of. He's quality in himself. There's just going to be a void to be filled in his absence. Even though he's not a loud star, he's had impact in Roma as a team.

 Now Mourinho has to make efforts to finding a perfect replacement too that'd match Bonnuci's impact. There are a number of players that can really be as impactful as him even though it just would take a while to settle in. It's much better than leaving the void unattended.Thesame scenario apply to all retirement players as their absence just has to be replaced again. Most of these players also may choose to round up their retirement in their current team whilst some would opt to go for a high paying team and retire there. I anticipate his impact to the Turkish side soon.

People can see how manchester united was making some movements to revamp the defensive line. Manchester united needs to sell a lot of players. I can't even believe it finally ten hag was aware with the problem owned by manchester united. It was showing that if manchester united is willing to sell a lot of its defenders. I do support this caused by manchester united knows if poor defenders become the major problem owned by the club. Im quite happy by seeing ten hag finally listened to the fans. Im wondering who will be put for sale very soon.

Some defenders have been targeting by ten hag and im sure that manchester united will able to perform better with all of those new defenders soon. The only problem whether ten hag will pick the right players for the club. We do know that how shitty ten hag when it comes to players transfer.
I will not blame him if he will make the good transfers but i will blame him if ten hag's new players will become another flop like onana and mount. Enough is enough for him.
The management shall give him ultimatum if he will not able to perform better than before.
United currently are behind in their performance and a lot is obviously wrong with the team. For me I'd say the fault is from both Ten Hag and his players as well. The players fault in the sense that they're being too sluggish in the pitch, they play like there's no interest in the game and they just want to get done with it. The way and manner they give off chances and how smaller teams capitalize on their mistakes to earn a lead from them. They've got good players but the players aren't at their best self week after week.

 Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games. Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

Yes, RB Leipzig is no longer the club that threatens Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title. The strength and finances of this team have decreased significantly. The chance of winning the Bundesliga championship is remote, but if they do not improve their performance, they can fall out of the top 4 teams. Now, RB Leipzig's goal is to finish in the top 4 of the Bundesliga. Thereby, they can win a spot in the prestigious UEFA Champions League next season.
Bayer Leverkusen has played so well this year, certainly in no small part thanks to coach Xavi Alonso. The away team has not lost any match in the Bundesliga and has only drawn 3 games. With such destructive power, Leverkusen has reason to be confident when being a guest of Leipzig. Leverkusen is a terror to opponents on every playing field. With consecutive wins, they have enough power to force Leipzig to receive their second successive defeat.
With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is. The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich.

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

Liverpool must learn how to play without Salah because they failed to realise that it would eventually hurt them. I even heard that Salah suffered an injury during Egypt's match against Ghana; if this is true, then both the Liverpool team and Egypt must learn how to play without Salah on the pitch or they will keep losing games. On Sunday, Liverpool plays Bournemouth, and although Salah will not be playing, If Liverpool still has players who can contribute to the team's success and win games before Salah returns from injury, so I believe they can overcome Bournemouth.

I think Liverpool can maintain their current standing in the league table, even though I know that Manchester City is in good shape now that DE Bruyne has returned, and if Haaland returns, their performance will be even better than it was before because DE Bruyne always provides Haaland with excellent passing that helps them win a game. However, Liverpool is still ahead of Manchester City by two points, and Liverpool will not want to let them lose and give Manchester City the top spot.

I think you are right, you'll know a strong team by their ability to perform well during the absence of their key players and it's proven this season that Manchester City is a really strong team in Europe, despite the fact that Debruyne's absence worried them in some matches, but it didn't take too long before they recovered and started adapting without KDB and currently KDB is back and their top 9 Haaland is absent but their still doing pretty good with the rest of the squad they've got.

 That's something Liverpool should emulate, there's no doubt that Mo Salah plays an important role in the team, however they still got other qualify players that could stand in form him till he returns from country duties, so why depend on one player when they still got other quality players in their squad. Bournemouth is not a team Liverpool should be scared of, they should underestimate them however they capable of getting 3 points from them with our without Salah.

Nice is getting far from PSG and PSG is getting into better form which means the chance for PSG to win the French League is increasing every week when Nice loses some points and after the game Nice lost against Rennes with a 2-0 result and they lose the full threes points in this match, now Nice got only 35 points while PSG is on the first place of the league with 43 points which means Nice should wb even worried to lose their place to Brest since there is only one point difference between them and Brest. Also in the last five meets Brest had, they just had one draw and won all the other four games they had.

well they started pretty good at the early stages of the season and even kept a good unbeaten run for a while, everyone felt they were the team to challenge PSG's dominance this season not until they started dropping points and even allowed PSG to top the league to an extent of gapping them with about 8points currently. I don’t see them closing the gap, cause PSG is in a very good form recently, their players are now beginning to communicate better on the pitch, hence their recent good form, therefore i don't see them dropping 8 points and letting Nice to come top again.

 Well, Nice tried in getting this far cause of their strong defense line, i think they should try maintaining this position and qualify for the UCL, which would attract upcoming talents to join their team, they have one major area to work on, which is the attack and i think if they could bring in a natural born top 9 that could come in and adapt well into their system then they’ll be good to go for the title challenge next season. Atleast they're better than Monaco that are currently in 4th position.

Previously Napoli also fired the coach who had succeeded in giving the fans and club the long-awaited title. In fact, it is difficult for many people to accept why management fired the coach who succeeded in making them become champion candidates. The rumors circulating were almost the same as those experienced by Jose Mourinho because both of them criticized management policies in managing the club so they were disturbed by the criticism and fired him.

The next question is where Jose Mourinho will go and which team will be the place for him to coach. Likewise, for AS Roma, the arrival of a new coach who has no experience can produce much better results than Jose Mourinho and as far as I know that will be much more impossible because in terms of experience Jose Mourinho is much better.
Napoli firing their coach because of management’s policy was quite crazy. Why would you let him go after bringing that trophy home after how many years? Well the club board knows what’s best for them, and i think maybe there was a big disagreement between the manager and board which triggered the departure of their former coach Spalletti.

 However, our focus is to Jose and what happens to him next, well I think he’ll be off to Saudi to go get the bag and have peace of mind as that’s what is key to him now because he’s basically written his name in Gold in Europe. As for Roma, I think it’ll be quite a huge struggle going forward.The new coach will have to continue with the philosophy of Jose and see how things goes for him then maybe get his own players to his advantage next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo alongside Lionel Messi without doubt has been the two greatest players of the last two decades as far as world football is concerned and that's actually earned them a lot of personal accolades and recognitions but when it comes to public influence, it's clear that no one comes close to the Portuguese superstar as he's the most followed footballer across all social media and the most followed human on Instagram in the whole world. The  organizers of the Saudi Pro League knew how much of influence he'll bring to the league should they sign and made sure they did everything within their reach to bring the Portugal national team captain to the middle East league.

Since his arrival to the league, the Saudi Arabian League has gained more global recognition and awareness than they've ever gotten. On the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo have also been great for the club as he succeeded in scoring the highest number of goals in 2023.
Yes undoubtedly we can’t deny the fact that both Cristiano and Messi have been all leading the football world for more than 10 years and they’ve had to their name many award both in their respective teams and as individual players. But when we talk of influence then Cristiano is the most influential and that’s why brands wants to recognize with him.

 The Saudi League knew what they did when they tried to get in Cristiano, they knew how his presence alone will change the face of the league. And that’s been done, now the league has had a better face and the competition in the league has gone fierce and that’s why Cristiano is one hell of a great influencer. On the pitch he still does his job and off his pitch he still steals the show, for this reason I crown my GOAT to be Cristiano.

 However, imagine Ronaldo and Messi together in the SPL, it's going to be a very good boost for them, cause these are the two most recognised footballers globally and it's going to attract more audience and viewers, making the league more popular, and also attracting more talents to move there. I think the SPL should also try to attract Messi into joining their  league.

It seems like xabi has been targeted by bayern's boss to be the successor for tuchel. In light of Tuchel's imminent departure, the club has shown unwavering dedication to securing him as their next coach. I think that the combination between bayern munich and xabi will make the club become unbeatable for the long term. Xabi was willing to coaching the club that gave him success as a player. I do like how bayern was projecting him to be a long-term solution for the club. I do support the decision for munich to recruit xabi.

I do like this. I hope i will see xabi to be a new coach for bayern munich. Im sure many of munich fans will have agreed with it too. Xabi will able to become a long term project owned by juventus. This is also helping the club a lot in building the club for long term project.
bayern munich has been making future plan by recruiting him to the club in the future. Xabi's performance with leverkusen was relaly impressive.
Well Xabi to Bayern Munich is quite possible and could be a reality especially as he was once a player and during his days there, he achieved great success. This alone will want to make him achieve more as a coach and this is the confidence the board have on him especially seeing what he does with this Leverkusen side

 Yes, Tuchel has been good but he’s not suit the taste of the board. In Tuchel’s Bayern we don’t see the massive number of goals from the team and they also concede more in this era and the board aren’t confident on him continuing. Xabi will be a great coach for them and yes, he’ll be a long term project and might probably hand them their next UCL title because undoubtedly the man’s good and he’s intelligent and has impressed the football world with his performance at Leverkusen.
