There is really no team at the moment that is playing a perfect season. Real Madrid is strong, Manchester City isn't playing perfectly, Bayern Munich had some problems during the group stage in some games and there is no team in my opinion that looks so dominant at the moment that it has a unique favorite role in the Champions League. Arsenal has had some bad results despite playing quite well, but that doesn't mean a lot for the Champions League I believe. But Porto should be an opponent that Arsenal can handle. The coming weeks are important for them and there is also the FA Cup game against Liverpool next week.
If we talk about the perfect club we will never find one like that, maybe they never lose but they still draw. So far I've noted Leverkusen who can do that but they also still draw, yes even though they never lose. In football a draw will still count as an unsatisfactory result.
All with their own advantages and disadvantages, every time 2 clubs meet, they will always look for gaps where their opponent's weaknesses lie and if they can be utilized properly they will be able to win the match.
But other factors also sometimes affect the outcome of matches, one prominent example is luck. No matter how strong and how many chances a club can create, they won't be able to score if they are unlucky in the match.

After the New Year holiday, Dortmund will face three weak teams, they should be able to get 9 points to continue to maintain their chances of returning to the top four and securing a Champions League ticket.
Champions League ticket is made the top priority of every club that makes top four. Dortmund can easily fall back into the race since I don't see any important contenders, Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are temperamental clubs that will step down when their time comes. Borrusia Dortmund are not regarded a threat in the next 4-5 Bundesliga matches because they are unimpressive and have nothing to compete against. Edin Terzic will either make substantial purchases in the January transfer market in order to assist his club return to a competitive level. There is no time for any side to rest because everyone is focused on earning three points for their team's collective gain.

They are 6 points away from the club in the top 4 currently occupied by Leipzig. That's a pretty tiring distance to chase, but considering the number of matches remaining in the Bundesliha there are still a lot of points that are still very much in the chase. I think to be in the top 4 is still very doable, but I doubt if chasing the top of the table, because their point gap is now far away, and with the appearance of the club that occupies the top position, it looks like an impossible thing to do.
Indeed in football nothing is impossible, as long as there is still a chance as long as they still have a chance, but we also have to be realistic with what is happening at this time. Moreover, the ones they are chasing are also among the clubs that dominated the league for more than a decade.

If you look at the point difference between the two, it is still very possible that Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal.
This only depends on Al Nassr's consistency for each match with a guaranteed win, and hope that at least Al Hilal has a few matches that end in a draw.
Because losing seems impossible for Al Hilal considering the very complete composition of its players.
If the point difference gets closer, I think it will be even more exciting to watch the Saudi Arabian League. Especially if Al Ittihad is also able to climb to the top 5 rankings.
Someone need to give hard tackle to Mitrovic, so he will get an injury or out from season, this will make Al Hilal lose their primary striker. Tongue

It really looks hard for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal, I'd say Al Nassr is stronger than Al Hilal, but in terms of consistency Al Hilal is better than Al Nassr. Al Nassr need to import more players to compete against Al Hilal.
Even if Al Nassr can continuously win in every match, at the same time Al Hilal also has to lose many points from the matches they play. The problem now is that they are very strong and very difficult to beat and even getting a draw from them is something difficult to do. Difficult doesn't mean it can't be done, it just takes time and Al Hilal are unlucky to say the least.
Al Nassr don't have to focus on that, they just have to focus on themselves, how they can always get 3 points. One match they can capitalize on is their meeting with Al Hilal. In the first meeting they lost and that made their point difference away, in the second meeting later do not let the same thing repeat because it will make them more distant from Al Hilal.

Our gaze never leaves Paris Saint Germain when it comes to Ligue 1, it's no wonder as they are the only club that has it all, so they are always going to attract attention. On the one hand it's quite boring to see them dominating the league, but on the other hand we can't do anything about it because other clubs are not at the same level as Paris Saint Germain.
When they dominate and are very difficult to beat, we take it as a given because they are the strongest club, but when they have problems and decline we take it as something unnatural. The problem that occurs is when they decline and there is no club that can take advantage of their decline, even if there is it will not last long and in a short time Paris Saint Germain can return to where it should be.

Even so, in fact last season Roma also entered the play off round and were able to show an impressive performance, no one thought that Roma could reach the final round and fight with Sevilla even though he failed to win the trophy. But with that I can conclude that Roma is still given the opportunity to achieve results satisfying this season.
Roma's chances of qualifying for the playoffs are quite big. I think Rome's current situation will be better. The most important thing is that Mourinho must maintain the player's performance and also the player's mentality before the Europa League match starts.
it's still quite a while, Mourinho will focus on Serie A and the Italian Cup I'm sure. Mourinho has good experience for the Europa League, I'm sure he won't miss this opportunity.
They are in the play offs now and they will face Feyenoord to fight for 1 ticket to go to the last 16 of the Europa League. Last season they had to fail to become champions because in the final match they had to recognize the superiority of Sevilla. This season they have the opportunity to repeat the same thing, only this season may be much more difficult than before, because this season some of the favorites seem stronger than the previous season.
Last season favorites like Arsenal had to fail, but this season clubs like Liverpool and Leverkusen seem to look much better prepared, even so it is not impossible that AS Roma can surprisingly return and compete in the final.
This season some people consider a meeting between Liverpool and Leverkusen in the final to be the ideal meeting, but that cannot be confirmed because surprises will always happen.
1526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The frustrations in loosing a huge bet when your winning was so assured. on: December 30, 2023, 01:45:17 PM
This is actually a problem where someone is too excessive in putting expectations on his gambling activities, especially on winning, putting excessive expectations will indirectly increase your disappointment when the final result really loses, and that's why we are more advised to make gambling an entertainment activity just to fill your spare time when bored. And also because there will be a lot of situations that look tempting that will certainly make you even more tempted, and the situation mentioned by the OP about failing to get a big win also certainly has an influence on the psychology of gamblers who come with excessive expectations.

On the other hand, we must return to the initial understanding that gambling is always nothing more than just a probability activity that only provides opportunities in the sense that it is not a promising certainty. So if you do experience a situation of failing to win big then in my opinion you should not assume "I should be able to get it" because that will only make you more disappointed and curious, you must return to the understanding that this is a game of chance, and that means you are not really lucky.
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: December 30, 2023, 01:23:21 PM
So it's actually like this, in terms of winning everyone whether rich or poor has the same possibility in terms of opportunities, meaning that whoever is involved in gambling then they will have the same chances in terms of winning, and what's interesting is that the OP has also said that most people speculate that rich people will be able to get more wins than poor people, but in my opinion rich or poor cannot be used as a benchmark about a victory. Winning in gambling is completely unknowable, especially about when you will win and how much you will win.

Another thing in the matter of who will lose more in my opinion it really depends on how the approach a person takes to his gambling, whether it is rich or poor still if they come with the wrong and excessive approach then they will lose a large amount, But maybe if we compare in terms of the number of defeats between the rich and the poor maybe I would say that the rich have the possibility to experience a greater number of losses, because of course the financial strength of the rich and the poor is much different, so simply put the number of defeats experienced by the rich can be comparable to the number of 10x defeats experienced by the poor, and the real victory is only for the casino itself.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: December 30, 2023, 01:01:25 PM
Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.


Actually It depende on the gambler if he gonna let gambling ruins his/her family cause we all know that every gamblers have their own decision in life so without hesitation if gambler want to help his/her family then he/she must do everything to become a good influence in and let themselves follow what's the best thing to do to avoid such losses and addictions in gambling. While in the other hand if a gambler are too bad then he/she will not do anything good .

Yes that's right, in my opinion gambling is not for everyone but only for people who have firmness in controlling themselves, knowing which is good and which is bad will help every gambler to be free from the worse effects of gambling. I do not prohibit anyone from gambling if indeed they are able to manage all their gambling activities in the sense that they can still regulate their gambling so that it does not have a bad impact on their lives.

But on the other hand overall maybe I would agree more with the idea that it is better to avoid gambling completely because after all even though so far they can manage their gambling activities in the sense of staying in a safe situation but it still cannot be denied that there is still a possibility at a later time for them to be tempted and carried further in their gambling activities in the sense that a change in mindset occurs which ultimately makes them enter the addiction zone. So overall for those who just want to get involved in gambling I think they should reconsider their decision because after all all all those involved in this activity will at least definitely lose money even if it is in small amounts, but actually you can choose not to lose anything by not getting involved.

Juventus did not lose any of the last 12 matches in the league. I think they will take advantage of playing this match on their home field. Juventus will have the superiority in terms of play in the match if they do not concede a goal at the beginning of the match. I watch the matches of both teams and I can say that the football Juventus has played recently is a little better than Roma.

Juventus biggest advantage is its good defense. If they use this well, Roma may have trouble scoring goals. Still, both teams can win the match because both teams have quality players who can change the score.
Yes that's right. This match is really superior for Juventus because they are on fire. of course they will try to get a win and end the year with three points. Juventus feels confident too, apart from being unbeaten in the last twelve matches they also have a good trend when facing As Roma at home.

With the conditions that Juventus currently has, I think this match will be won by Juventus, this victory is important for them to catch up on their points with Inter who are in first place. If Juventus is able to beat AS Roma, Juventus will be closer to Inter, only two points behind.
Juventus have the opportunity to reduce their points gap with Inter Milan after Inter Milan failed to win in this week's match because they could only draw against Genoa. This result is quite surprising too, because previously I also predicted a victory for Inter Milan, but it didn't happen.
Juventus will face AS Roma, a match that is not easy for both, because both have the ability to beat each other. Juventus are more favored and they also have the advantage of being the host. Juventus must quickly find the rhythm of the game if they want to dominate the match, and that way they can force AS Roma to play defense. But I think AS Roma will play with a waiting strategy in this match.

The position of being the favorite team or not will certainly greatly influence who Arsenal will face next if they succeed in eliminating Porto in the round of 16.
My prediction is that looking at the existing teams, there is a very big chance that Arsenal will meet one of these strong teams, and if that happens it will be very difficult for Arsenal to advance to the next round, but before that, they have to be able to overcome the Porto team which is quite good even though many people predict that Arsenal will beat Porto, but in my opinion, the chances of both teams are the same, because Arsenal can sometimes appear disappointing, such as when they lost to West Ham in the English Premier League.

The playoffs are a very difficult stage, everything needs to be decided in two games, but perhaps for Arsenal there is an advantage in that they will play the first game at Estádio do Dragao, in case of a win or a draw their chances of winning the return match will be higher.

I don’t consider Porto a weak opponent, they are capable of beating Arsenal, especially if you look at Arsenal’s latest results in five games, they won only once in the match with Brighton, they lost the matches with Aston Villa and West Ham, and they drew with Liverpool and PSV , so Arsenal may be in decline.
You are right, if Arsenal can get at least a draw in their first meeting then their chances become bigger, because in the second meeting they will play the match with home status, of course it is a very good opportunity for them.
But Porto is not a club that can be conquered easily, their presence in this round shows that they can indeed compete. In the group stage they also did not disappoint because they could collect 12 points from the 6 matches played, actually it was the same points that Barcelona had, but they lost in goal productivity so that only put them in 2nd place.
Arsenal are also in an unhappy state for sure, as they failed to win in their last match in the domestic league and kept them in 2nd place.

Madrid once had Benzema and Ronaldo in the team. and now they want to add Mbappe to the team which I think is what they need. I don't know how the club is responding to these rumors. but if PSG are willing to sell Mbappe now, they will make a profit. rather than waiting for his contract to expire and that means Mbappe will be on a free transfer.
If Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think PSG must take a stance as soon as possible. The transfer market will open and negotiations must take place immediately.

Real Madrid used to sign the best players in the world for the highest transfer fees. Changing balances around the world are forcing them to make transfers with lower budgets. Either they try to sign free agents like Mbappe or they try to sign young and talented players. The Mbappe transfer has not been finalized yet. But I think Real Madrid's transfer policy in recent years gives us some clues. I think Mbappe will be playing for Real Madrid next season.
In recent transfer windows, Real Madrid have not made any big purchases, which is something they have always done, but now they are focusing on young talent. Perhaps they are preparing their finances for a big transfer and if that is the case, then Mbappe is on the radar.
Real Madrid's needs are now very clear, and that is in a frontline that is not working to its full potential and Mbape could be the answer to their current needs. Paris Saint Germain will always want Mbappe in the squad, but the player has wanted to leave, even from the end of last season. Maybe at the end of this season we'll see a new club for him.

This is the Premier League, where any team can lose points in any round against any opponent. And after the equator and even closer to the end, the teams that are in the relegation zone become just as dangerous, since no one wants to leave the Premier League. City must get three points today, Sheffield is not an opponent with whom City can lose points, even though they recently drew with Aston Villa away.
To Carter away three points is not easy, everyone becomes aware about the system and how it do treats us. This is the EPL, when clubs we have enormous optimism for diminish games, and there will be nothing pertinent about it. Manchester City will face Sheffield United, who are 20th in the relegation zone, while Chelsea will face Luton Town, both of which are impoverished clubs that would be playing against the top clubs today. Do they stand a chance of gaining points from the Blues and City? I don't think so because the premier clubs won't be holding back and are looking for the best outcomes possible.
On paper, there is no doubt that Manchester City can win this match. How could it not be, their opponents are at the bottom of the table with disappointing performances, while Manchester City with the status of defending champions and also in the top flight. Indeed, recently they have also experienced a decline, but that decline does not make them no better than the opponents they will face today.
However, I agree that no one should try to underestimate their opponent, I'm not talking about Manchester City, but for other clubs it will also be the same. This is the Premier League that we know what the surprises are here, there are almost always strengths every week here.

It seems Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he is going to stay there.
SIcne we heard any news about Brazil trying to hire Carlo Ancelotti for their team and use this coach in the 2026 World Cup, but he extended his contract with Real Madrid to prove he prefers to continue his career in Real Madrid and he prefers to stay there.
Carlo Ancelotti's new contract will expire in 2026 and this coach wants to achieve even more titles with Real Madrid.



It is official that Ancelotti got an extension of his contract at Real Madrid and thus, the Brazilian national team failed to recruit Ancelotti as head coach of the Brazilian national team . But regarding the results Ancelotti has at Real Madrid, for me personally it is still fine or maybe, competing teams are experiencing a decline in performance and thus, Ancelotti still manages to bring Real Madrid to get the title in each season.

But indeed, at least if Ancelotti still has a strong desire to stay at Real Madrid then ya,of course Ancelotti will also easily to take the contract extension . Because anyway, if for example Ancelotti is no longer interested in being longer at Real Madrid then Ancelotti could also reject it and choose to coach the Brazilian national team. But yaa, in reality Ancelotti chose to be at Real Madrid for longer and continue the good development for the regeneration of the Real Madrid squad with young players.
It seems he wants more time to continue what he's built, because some of the young plyers currently at Real Madrid are undeniably there, so he wants to see how they develop.
But it's also surprising what I read today, because previously we all must have heard the news that the agreement between Ancelotti and Brazil has been completed. With this our conversation about Real Madrid is over, especialy when talking about the coach that Real Madrid will bring after Ancelotti's departure. Because until 2026 Ancelotti's new contract, and that's a pretty long time because it remains at least enough for the next 2 saesons.
1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: December 30, 2023, 10:25:50 AM
Only a few people enjoy gambling games for fun, even rich people, unless they have a lot of money or have complete control over themselves, but that is very rare. Everyone wants to win.
You can also enjoy gambling games for fun like people already do. They have no desire other than to have fun in gambling games. They know it is difficult for them to win, so they only gamble moderately and always try to limit their gambling activities. They don't want to gamble too long or use a lot of money, so they only gamble within reasonable limits. If you can do it, you can enjoy it. Moreover, we don't need to gamble if it's just to get pleasure because many other activities can provide pleasure. If we really want to gamble, we have to use the money we can afford so we don't gamble excessively.

We should have the mindset that gambling is for fun only not for aiming more profits cause one thing for sure once we are aiming for more profits then there's a high possibility that we can loss a lot of money while if we are in the mindset that we gamble for fun then if we loss then it still okay cause they didn't expect more profits.  And also some gamblers enjoy playing in gambling they feel like gambling is anti stress.

Yes, that's right, that's the mindset that is more recommended, because gambling with the intention of seeking profit or income will only make us ultimately trapped in a cycle of addiction and of course not everyone can survive with all the pressure of the many problems that arise when we are already in such a situation, financial ruin or even with the destruction of family relationships is not uncommon and even I see lately there are also those who are desperate to take actions out of control such as suicide just because they are not strong with all the pressure of problems due to addiction.

On the other hand it is clear that when someone comes with the intention of earning then usually the opposite happens, namely losing a lot of money, we must understand from the beginning that this is a gamble where the final result is always unpredictable and there are only two answers, namely winning and losing, so with no certainty about the final result then obviously I think it makes no sense if you come with the intention of earning because the casino will not let that happen either. So it's better to gamble with the intention of having fun like you said, after all gambling is basically nothing more than an activity to fill empty time when you are bored, and it's better for our personal security.
1535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 30, 2023, 10:02:10 AM
Yes and that means that everyone has different experiences in each approach to gambling and maybe you are one of the people who is not too focused on looking for wins, especially in this type of slot gambling, but in my opinion lately more people are having problems. because of this type of gambling, because as we discussed earlier, this type of gambling can really easily lead gamblers into the addiction zone due to the many things that look very tempting there.

Putting the smallest amount or whatever, especially what we are able to account for, is indeed much better as you do, because usually gamblers always start actions beyond their control when they are unable to accept the result of losing in the sense that they put an amount they cannot accept to lose and Of course, after that, emotions will play a role and maybe you already know what they will do next, yes, that's right, after that they will do the action of chasing losses to reach the break-even point until finally they are trapped in a cycle like addiction. So preventive measures in any way, whether it's reducing the budget or reducing the time spent gambling, are really recommended for safety or at least minimizing the number of losses, yes that's right, everyone will definitely feel a winning situation and they just have to wait patiently.
If we talk about slot games, it can indeed make many people addicted because it is easy to play these slot games, and also gamblers can place low bets. They just have to press the spin button and wait for the results to come out and they can even buy bonus features that might provide big multipliers. This is where the attraction of slot games continues to make many gamblers addicted, especially when I saw on YouTube that many people gathered on one channel and watched the streamer play live.

We have to be careful when playing this type of gambling game because it can make us lose control and forget ourselves and can certainly result in big losses, as I have experienced in several slot games. There must be curiosity when we can't get a big multiplier or scatter, even though it almost hits us. We will try again and again until we can get it, but unfortunately, we won't be able to get it if we don't have luck. If we can't control ourselves well, it's only a matter of time before we will lose a lot of money and be forced to end the slot game because we have run out of money. That's why we have to have strong self-control when gambling and not lose a lot of money just because we want to chase a win that we don't know when we can get.

Yes, that's true and it has been proven that the popularity of this type of gambling is increasing very quickly and is also very famous and it doesn't take long for casinos to make this type of gambling popular in the eyes of the public, especially in my country where almost the majority of people choose this type of gambling compared to some other games, none other than because it is true that slot gambling apart from being easy to access, on the other hand, makes people more interested in getting involved here because of the promise of a very big win which is usually 1000x the amount of the bet we place, but it is not easy. also to get it and that's what makes people easily addicted. That's right, plus now more and more streamers or influencers are promoting this type of gambling with some shows that look very tempting which of course makes many people even more curious and interested in getting the same wins as them.

It seems that what you feel is not much different from me in this type of slot game, the free spin bonus is always what every player is waiting for, because usually the maximum winnings are there but it is not easy to get it if we are far away from it. luck. In my opinion, many wins fail to occur there and gamblers only get the indications which of course makes us even more curious and it's true that if we don't have good self-control at all then obviously we will easily get carried away.

However, they must first solve the basic problems they face, after which they can slowly improve the team as a whole. Why do they have to solve that frst? Because when they improve and want to improve it again to a higher level they are constrained and it becomes something that is not easy to solve. The coach must be made a headache like this, because on the one hand he bears the responsibility to improve his foster children, on the other hand he cannot do much because of a problem that is still faced by his club. He has limitation in spending money to buy players and with that inevitably he has to cut expenses so as not to burden the club as well.
Making a change in performance is actually very easy to do for Xavi if Barcelona's conditions are a normal club but for now Barcelona, which is still one of the problematic club make  this a little complicated to do because Xavi cannot be all out in solving problems both in terms of finance and in terms of players.

Until now there are several things that are still blocking and all boil down to financial problems that cannot be resolved in a matter of seasons. On the other hand, the current condition is actually a little exacerbated by Xavi's characteristic who never even wants to sell his players and seems to let the player leave on a free transfer which makes this even more complicated even though there are several gaps to get profits including by selling some of their players but sometimes Xavi always holds back players who are interested in other clubs even though it is not very useful for Barcelona.
Now actually things like this can still be fixed but of course this depends on how the players, coaches and the club itself because all of them must have good synergy so that the club's performance becomes better than the start of the season this time.
 
That's why I said that they need to solve their fundamental problem first, in this case, finance. Because from what we can see, the problems they experience actually boil down to that, if they can solve it then other problems will be easier to overcome.
Every transfer window, their problem is the same, they can't bring in players freely. They can sell the players they have, especially those with high market value, but that's not a good option at the moment. Realistically, I'd rather keep the proven players, even if it means they'll get a lot of money from the sale.
Now if they choose to sell players and bring in players, it has a fairly high risk, the article could be that the players they bring in do not match what is expected, it will cause new problems within the body of Barcelona.

How did Real Madrid not support Zidane? He didn't win the La Liga that same season, rather he lost the league and pressure mounted on him to be sacked, they even have him the support by not sacking him. With the help of the players around, he was able to win the Champions League.
Believe me Zidane quickly resigned immediately after they won the Champions League so he wouldn't be sacked.

I thought when Zidane could not give La Liga titles in the season but Zidane managed to give the Champions League title which was of course more prestigious. Are you saying that because of a lot of pressure due to failing to win La Liga, Zidane chose to resign so as not to be fired? To be honest I don't know what the reason Zidane did that. Is he afraid of losing his reputation if he was fired?
That could be a plausible reason for Zidane's resignation, but I see other reasons for him doing so. After he resigned as Real Madrid coach he has yet to receive an offer, so when I saw that I concluded that the reason he resigned was because he wanted to take a break from coaching and even now I haven't heard of him coming back, even though many clubs are interested in hiring him. It looks like he's still comfortable without a club and hasn't thought about returning to the coaching bench.
But we'll see if there will be any surprises from him being suddenly announced as the coach of a club, including Real Madrid. It is interesting to see this coach, especialy with his brilliant achievements with Real Madrid at that time.

I didn't think that Arsenal vs West Ham today match will lose by 2 goals. After West Ham player T. Souček scored the first goal in 13 minutes I was very worried because I bet in support of Arsenal team. Arsenal team players were wrong and  Arsenal team goalkeeper did not perform well today due to which Arsenal team lost the match.
I had so much faith in Arsenal at the beginning of the match, I was very optimistic about their performance Al through the first half of the match regardless of a few inconsistency shown, I was still saying to myself it's just the first half and there's still more time for Arsenal to be able to get back on their feet but they disappointed in the long run.

Even after west ham and their first goal, I still believed Arsenal was more than capable enough to be able to deliver, I expected that since the first half didn't looked so we'll hopefully by the second half Arsenal will have a comeback and will draw if it turns out worse but after the second goal and I observed Arsenal still had a dull performance, I concluded Arsenal was going to loose this match and it was Avery sad they couldn't secure a single goal from this match, this got my heart broken the more, currently Arsenal may likely fall back to struggling again.
If you look at the game from the start, I think everyone will think that Arsenal will win this match. Even if you don't watch the match and just look at the statistics throughout the match, I'm sure people will think Arsenal won this match. This is unlucky for Arsenal, because in terms of opportunities they have more opportunities, even they also control the game. I say West Ham is lucky in this match, can only create 6 attempts and can make 2 goals. While Arsenal they continuously attacked and 30 attempts they made, none of them could lead to goals.
With this result they failed to return to the top, and Livepool must be happy with what Arsenal achieved in this match because at least for now they are still safe at the top of the standings.

Another speculation is appearing after osimhen stitch chelsea fan who was uploading the picture of him wore chelsea's shirt. it seems like that he still puts chelsea as his favorite team but i hope that someday i can see osimhen to join in the chelsea.
Chelsea really miss someone who can play like drogba. The club really needs a great striker at this moment and having osimhen might become one of best solution for this. I do support the decision to recruit him but with a sense price.
Chelsea was his favorite team due to Didier Drogba, it makes Chelsea was very strong at that time. But that was long time ago, now Chelsea is just a mediocre team. Tongue

It's really over how the crowd create a rumor Osimhen will join Chelsea because he gives a reaction to this picture. For me, it just a way to thank the fans, there's no words if Osimhen said yes or not.
I personally don't agree if Osimhen joins Chelsea now, don't get me wrong because I mean if he joins Chelsea when it's down it will be a risk to his career. Maybe for bigger and better prepared clubs that risk will always be there, but the risk he will receive will be much greater if he joins a club that has a situation like Chelsea at this time.
Chelsea is a big club in the Premier League, I will not deny that, but the status as a big club is not enough because they also have to show performances that say that they are really a big club, whereas what is happening now at Chelsea does not say so.
Yes it will take a long process to bring Chelsea better, hopefully they can get through it relatively quickly.

It's no longer a secret that PSG in the Champions League is an ordinary team because they are not used to the competition in Ligue 1, so when they play against teams that have high intensity in this competition, they always go home faster. Never mind in the EPL, maybe even in the Italian Serie A, maybe PSG won't be able to do anything because the champions there change every season.
That's the fact that PSG always dominates Ligue 1 because there is no truly consistent challenger to get rid of PSG at the top of the standings and I'm sure they will win the title this season for the umpteenth time. That's why PSG has never succeeded in the UCL because they don't really have opponents. which is balanced in Ligue 1 which makes them have more ability to compete in the UCL, fortunately they qualified for the next round only because of goal difference.

But their luck in qualifying for the next round does not guarantee that they will last long there because they will meet opponents who will make them bend their knees in the end, for example, Madrid and Munich, especially Manchester City as the defending champion, of course it will be difficult for them to face. I'm not sure Mbappe and his friends will be able to reach the UCL semi-finals this season.
When I talk about this, I imagine if they were in the Premier League, would they be on par with the mid-table clubs? Lol
But I think the competitive level of a league will also affect them a lot. Maybe they are the way they are now because they feel so comfortable that they bring that comfort to tougher competitions, like the Champions League. That's certainly not a good thing at all, because Ligue 1 and the Champions League are very different. In LIgue 1 they might not have to think about what their fate is, whereas in the Champions League they can't do that.
Now if they are in the Premier League, inevitably they also have to improve, because if they behave like when they are in Ligue 1 they might become a club that is threatened with relegation. So the conclusion is that the competitive level of the league affects their behavior.
