Barcelona expected more from Dembele. But Dembele failed to live up to Barcelona's expectations. The team did not perform very well against Barcelona. Dembele has been playing with Barcelona for 6 seasons. In 6 seasons he played only 127 matches in La Liga. And scoring only 24. And so Barcelona are unwilling to increase Dembele's wages to keep him with the squad. If Dembele does not ask for an increase in wages, Barcelona will probably keep Dembele in the squad.
However, Barcelona could make a smart amount of money by selling Dembele to PSG. Barcelona spent 135 million to sign Dembele. But they don't get better performance than Dembele. Dembele was a loss project for Barcelona. However, it is not yet clear how much money PSG are willing to spend on Dembele.
According to what the Lequipe journalists write, the transfer amount will be 50 million, and Dembele will receive a salary increase at PSG. And if nothing changes, then Dembele may be officially announced as a PSG player tomorrow, August 7th. Even if Dembele did not live up to Barcelona's expectations, they would still like to keep him in the team, but due to financial instability, they cannot do this. By the way, for the same reason, Messi did not back to Barcelona...
Anyway, Dembele will still be fine if he leaves Barcelona, or maybe Dembele can develop even better in another club because maybe playing at Barcelona is maybe Dembele get more high pressure. Because Barcelona condition is also not completely good so yes, it would be better for players with big fees, maybe it would be better for some of them to be sold. At least, to restore Barcelona finances as well and over time they will at least be able to get what they want if they succeed from time to time.

Barcelona's financial situation is not good. They are spending enough money to buy players though. However, the Barcelona club is still in financial trouble. Dembele wants higher wages from barcelona. It is probably not possible for barcelona to increase Dembele's wages now. Because Dembele is unable to make any significant contribution to Barcelona's overall performance. And so the Barcelona management will benefit if they make money by selling Dembele. This money they can use to buy any new players.  Perhaps we're going to see Dembele very soon with PSG. It would also be a very good deal for Dembele. Also, with the help of Luis Enrique, Dembele can adapt himself to the PSG squad very quickly.

Actually Sadio Mane is not able to adapt his playstyle to Bayern Munich, another thing is if you consider last season then you could see that time the management of Munich failed to use Mane properly. So Sadio Mane's performance was very poor. This is why Bayern Munich have Sadio Mane in their squad next season.

Mbappe is unlikely to join Munich. Perhaps he will go with Madrid. Or he will go to a Premier League club. I haven't heard any rumors that Mbappe is interested in playing in the Bundesliga.

Harry Kane is the perfect choice to replace Lewandowski. Kane is an experienced player. Kane also has the ability to score a lot of goals. And more importantly Kane's fitness is very good. As Bayern Munich aim for next season's Champions League, they want to strengthen their squad by any means possible.
If I was the manager in Bayern Munich I would pay more attention and be more careful bout hieing Harry Kane and spending money on him because they hired Sadio Mane in the same situation and he failed to have a good performance in Bayern Munich while they were expecting to see him be a good replacement for Lewandowski.
Harry Kane is also a 30-year-old player and if he joins Bayern Munich and fails he will be an old and bad-performing player for Bayern Munich just like Sadio Mane and I'm sure Bayern Munich will feel regret of spending this huge amount of money on him.

Sadio Mane and Harry Kane cannot be thought of as the same. Sadio Mane was bought by Bayern Munich as a replacement for Lewa. Lewa was a scorer. He scored a lot of goals with Munich. But Sadio Mane was never a scorer. Mane scored 22 goals in a single season with Liverpool, in the 2018–19 season. Bayern Munich management made mistakes in player selection.

Harry Kane and Lewa play almost the same style. Kane is a regular scorer in the Tottenham squad. Hopefully he will be able to score more goals if he is with a strong and experienced squad like Munich. But first he has to adapt himself to Munich's gameplay. If he can't adapt to Munich's tactics, Kane won't be able to score too many goals.

West Indies vs India
 Team's 2nd T20 match started today. India won the toss and came to bat. Scored 79 runs in 12 overs. Now India is under a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets. India lost the 1st T20 match by just 4 runs. How good is India in today's match?  It will not be understood till the end of the game. It seems that India will be able to give the target of 150 runs today. West Indies has started to perform well in bowling. If the two teams play in this way, we will see a hard fight between the two teams.
In the first T20 match West Indies won by 4 runs and in today's second T20 match too India batted first but India could not give West Indies a target of too many runs. however, West Indies lost two wickets for 26 runs.  So West Indies' performance is also not looking good today so it is doubtful if they will be able to meet the target. But I don't understand why India can't play well against West Indies.  West Indies seem to be preparing themselves very well in all aspects to deal with others

India set a target of just 153 runs. The target is not too big. Even then, there is no way to say that West Indies will win. Because the performance of West Indies batsmen is very erratic. There is no batsman in the squad who can bat responsibly and is consistently batting well.

West Indies lost two wickets for 2 runs after going down to bat with a target of 153 runs only. And they lost the third wicket by 32 runs. But their run rate is very good. At the end of 6 overs, the team collected 61 runs after losing 3 wickets. Nichols Pooran is batting brilliantly.  If he stays at the crease, the West Indies team will surely win. Pooran is unbeaten with 42 runs off just 22 balls. I think West Indies will win today's match as well. And they will take a 2-0 lead in the series.

Barcelona might not necessarily be the favorite to win the UEFA Champions League competition next season but I know that they'll surely be one of the strong contenders unlike many people think of them.
Looking at how well Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has groomed the team players since he took over, one can clearly see that he's made so much progress in finding the right style of football that matches the players and also know how to use the players. The addition of veteran player like IIkay Gundogan will further strengthen their sqaud and that's why I think that they'll do well in the competition next season

To be able to win a competition like the Champions League, barcelona will need to have a lot of things going for them. I know that barcelona is a good team right now. But they are certainly not the best who are going to the Champions League. Tactics does play a big part for a team in winning. But to win a competition like the Champions League there need to be good players in the team.

Without players who can change the momentum of a match at any given time, it is really hard to win the Champions League trophy. And that is the reason why i also think barcelona might not be able to win. The squad is good but there are better teams going into the competition.

Even if he doesn't play well with Barcelona, Dembele has the potential to perform well in Ligue 1. PSG coach Luis Enrique is quite experienced. And the important thing is that he is completely new to the PSG team. He will work with this team anew. At the same time, Luis Enrique will probably bring several more changes to the team. Because of this it will be a bit easier for Dembele to adapt to psg's players. Moreover, Ligue 1 teams are slightly weaker than La Liga teams. This is why it will be easy for dembele to perform well. We may soon see Dembele in a PSG jersey. However, this agreement is repeatedly delayed.

Bayern Munich got problems with finding a good sticker and a player to finish balls for them that's the reason for Tuchel to ask the team to hire Kane. However, in the last time when they hire Sadio Mane, he had a perfect performance in Liverpool and scored many goals in that team but when he joined Bayern Munich he couldn't have a good performance that's why I think there is a chance to see the same story about Harry Kane.
Even though Harry Kane could perform better than Sadio Mane in Bayern Munich but it is absolutely possible to see the same story again. Just to remind about Lionel Messi poor first season with PSG. Even a top world class footballer could fail to adapt fast so they have to wait and give him a second chance if ever that happened.
Tuchel wants an excellent number 9 to drove the team to victories, this point is totally agreed by Bayern Munich staff, otherwise recruiting a number 6 isn't considered as a priority to them although Tuchel insisted also on that point.
I'm sure they'll have more patience with Harry Kane than with Mane. It was said that some football players didn't want Mane and I don't think that would happen for Harry. Harry is an important star as well as a compatible actor. We all know how good his relationships are at Tottenham. I hope he comes to Bayern and shows his performance in the Premier league soon.
it is very clear that bayern munich will not wait for Sadio Mane because he is already in the SPL and the hope of bayern munich at this time is only to be able to get Harry Kane because there are only two choices for Tuchel, namely Kane or Mbappe but getting Mbappe is something impossible so that Munich will be more patient waiting for Harry Kane until his contract expires in the next season.
this was all done by Tuchel because he really wanted to bring his team to the UCL competition to get the trophy they wanted for a long time so that Bayern Munich would be more aggressive in the transfer market.

Actually Sadio Mane is not able to adapt his playstyle to Bayern Munich, another thing is if you consider last season then you could see that time the management of Munich failed to use Mane properly. So Sadio Mane's performance was very poor. This is why Bayern Munich have Sadio Mane in their squad next season.

Dembele's leaving Barcelona mustn't be like the saddest thing for them. Of course he is a really talented player. However he has always had serious issues with injuries since he joined Barcelona. Taking the previous season into account he missed a lot of matches and couldn't show the expected level of performance. However Xavi was still wishing to continue to have him in his team as he likes him. Now he is about to sign for PSG and I wonder how unhappy Xavi is with this situation.

Unhappy or not Barcelona can still do a good work without him as well. Besides they should be able to find a good replacement for him who isn't injury-prone if possible.
Dembele wanted to leave last off-season, and besides, PSG is a more financially reliable club. I think that Dembele would have liked to stay in Barcelona, but with the condition that he would receive a large salary, Barcelona refused him, so he decided to go to PSG where he could get what he wanted to get. Barcelona are still struggling financially and have been unable to meet Dembele's demands.

Barcelona expected more from Dembele. But Dembele failed to live up to Barcelona's expectations. The team did not perform very well against Barcelona. Dembele has been playing with Barcelona for 6 seasons. In 6 seasons he played only 127 matches in La Liga. And scoring only 24.

India needs to bat well in the 2nd T20 which will be played today at Providence. They cannot afford to lose another match and put themselves under a lot of pressure. The top order batsmen Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav needs to perform in this match as they failed in the last match.

Shubman Gill played for Gujarat Titans in this year's IPL and made 890 runs in 17 matches. He needs to get his form back and perform in a similar manner. India has high hopes from this young man.
This is a young team from India in T20. This team can be the main squad of India in the future. India has a lot of expectations around this team. But they are not performing at their best. Gill did not show any remarkable performance in this tour of West Indies. Just watching him play well in IPL. Yashasvi Jaiswal should be played instead in my opinion. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 625 runs in 14 matches in IPL. Suryakumar Yadav alone has the ability to turn the tide of the match. In today's second T20 match,India will enter the field with a change in the squad. Team India is well aware of the lack of experienced players like Rohit Sharma,Virat Kohli, Jadeja. I think India will make a good comeback today and they will win today's match to level the 5 match series 1-1.

India team can't play well in ODI format against West Indies. But since India won by 200 runs in the last ODI match. So the Indian management probably thought that the players in the squad had returned to form. But this is not the case. In the first T20 match we saw very bad batting from Indian batsmen. No other batsman can play better than the young batsman Tilak Verma. Top-order Ishan Kishan and subman Gill both batted poorly.

The T20 series is of 5 matches. And so in today's match, India will form a squad with their experienced players or they will experiment with this squad, it cannot be said for sure yet. But today India's senior players should be given a place in the squad. Because if they lose today's match, it will be more difficult for India to win the series.

I think that this was related some health issue. Its the first time I have seen in a live match, interesting to place a bet Wink

Obviously, it was because of some health issues. Actually, I am not sure what the reason was! It would be really helpful if someone could tell me the reason.

mm, I googled a lot, but I did not find any actual news about it. So I do not want to say anything about something I don’t have a clear idea about. I hope he is alright though.


Just over!
Baez has won (6-3/6-1) against Dominic Thiem in Kitzbuhel. Yesterday the Austria player was able to fight (and win) after three sets against Djere but today there was no match (even if the odds were definitely good related final win of Baez).

Sebastian displayed exceptional performance throughout the match, leaving no opportunity for Dominic to seize, truth be told. His victory was not only convincing but rather an exhibition of undeniable skill. This was a two sets match, both of which witnessed Sebastian's unwavering control, rendering Dominic powerless. It was Sebastian all the way. A dominating performance from Sebastian to win the final.

It is always difficult to determine who will win the Champions League title, especially when the season has not started. Manchester City certainly have a chance to repeat their success, but to defend the Champions League title then I think it is the most difficult challenge for any coach. Pep Guardiola is expected to keep his chances good, but all the teams that will be competing in the Champions League will also be pushing for the title.
Manchester City is an exemplary club, their performance is incredible and replicating this action in the following campaign, with an eye on the UEFA Champions League, would be extremely difficult for them. Real Madrid was the only team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League three times in a row, indicating gratitude and accomplishment at Santiago Bernabeu. They made it appear to be simple and while some football fans thought their victory was manipulated, I thought it was hard efforts from the coach and the players. Pep Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again, but it's impossible since other clubs aren't giving up and are giving their all in the league.
Guardiola wants to win the Champions League again. And I would say that Manchester City will remain at the top of the favorites for the Champions League title next season as well. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, United teams can be considered favorites for next season's Champions League. And among all these teams, Manchester City team can be said to be stable.
Bayern Munich are trying their best to strengthen their squad. And they are bringing in Harry Kane to strengthen the attack. Manchester United team is also spending a lot of money to strengthen the team. But whether they will be able to perform consistently in the next season is yet to be said for sure. But winning the Champions League title is not an easy task for any team.

But I wonder why you still include Barcelona as a candidate team to be able to get the Champions League title next season. Because in reality, in the last two seasons Barcelona has performed very badly in the Champions League and also in the Europa League. So, with Barcelona's very poor performance like that in the last two seasons, I don't think Barcelona can be included or entered to become a candidate team to win the Champions League title next season. Also about Manchester City, basically Manchester City still has a chance. That means, Manchester City is still quite likely to be able to repeat its success even though it won't be easy but still, Manchester City has a chance.

If we can consider Real Madrid as the favorite to win the Champions League title, why should Barcelona not be the favorite in the Champions League?
Barcelona have a strong squad. Barcelona did very poorly in the Champions League and Europa League last season though. However, they secured the La Liga title. Xavi has been able to stabilize this team. The Barcelona team is now strong enough. Even in friendly matches we have seen better performances from Barcelona than before.
Xavi is adding the necessary players to the squad to strengthen his team. They have added talented and experienced player like Gundogan to strengthen the midfield. All in all I think Barcelona will have no problem qualifying to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 05, 2023, 06:32:41 PM
[...] But if Vincent Kompany expects a good performance from the team then he should definitely add some talented players to the squad. In particular, his defense must be kept strong. If the defense is weak, he cannot survive in a competitive league like the Premier League. Let's see what will happen.
He do need some players as Burnley can work with current squad but for a better performance Burnley really need to sign some strong players. It's not about defense only, their midfield also needs to get a good hold and strikers also need to score goals in order to give Burnley a good fighting edge.

I hope they make a very good signing and start PL strong.

If they want to survive in the Premier League, the Burnley management will definitely have to spend money. You know It is difficult to survive in the Premier League if the management is keeping them, and not adding the required players to the squad. And I think the Burnely management knows this very well.

I can see, in the 2019-20 season, the team was ranked 10th in the points table. After that, the group began to decline. And in 2020–21 season, it finished 17th in the table, and the following season they failed to qualify for the Premier League.

After Kompany became the coach, the scenario started to change, he has stabilized the team considerably. This is why Burnley have once again qualified for the Premier League. Now if the Burnley management prepares enough funds to buy the required players. Then maybe Kompany will be able to strengthen his team.

I think PSG will keep Mbappe for one more season. Because leaving him at this moment will surely weaken the team's attack. They hope that both Neymar and Mbappe will do something amazing in the Champions League this season.
It's a big loss for PSG. PSG might sell Mbappe for a lot of money instead of keeping him for another season. PSG really needs money right now. The team didn't wanna let 250m go away easily.
It has been stated so many times by the team if PSG is willing to recruit more players with the money raised from selling mbappe. You can imagine this, how can a club wanna miss 250m of money through selling mbappe?
PSG can also recover its loss from buying mbappe a few years ago. The best decisions from PSG to sell him to the saudi club. I can't even imagine how frustrated the team to see mbappe will be leaving with free agent.
Nassr al khelaifi is not letting it to happen. That's why he was pushing PSG director to sell mbappe as soon as possible.
Since Mbappe has no intention extend the contract with psg, they're pushing hard to sell him before the end of transfer window. They don't want to risk losing him for free next season. However, it's a bit tricky because psg can't sell Mbappé unless he agrees to personal terms with another team. Right now, Mbappé and Perez has the ball in their side.

There's news that Kylian Mbappé is unhappy with psg. This is because the club is in talks to sell him, while he doesn't want to join any team. Let's hope Mbappé is taking his time to think about where he wants to go next. If things don't work out, let's continue one more season. Fans would love to see the trio of Neymar, Mbappé, and Dembélé.

Whatever happens, it seems like mbappé is the center of the attraction almost every time. I do hope that he will not stay with the PSG team. He made a bad decision previously by staying and I hope he will not make the same mistake again.

I think mbappé wants to stay one more season in PSG and take the money that he’s getting. Because he knows that the next season Real Madrid will be coming for him. And he can ask for almost any kind of price that he wants to be honest. A lot of clubs are going to be interested in him if he is a free agent. And at that time the clubs will not have to pay the transfer fee.  So the clubs will have a race with each other about his salary. And I think that’s what he actually wants.

Vincent Kompany is a younger coach. He is only 37 years old. And so I think he can develop a friendly relationship with his squad players very quickly. And if the relationship between the coach and the players is good, it becomes easier for the coach to understand the weaknesses of the team and squad players. Burnley team is not very strong. They will aim to be in the top 15 of the points table. And it is for this purpose that they will form the squad. But if Vincent Kompany expects a good performance from the team then he should definitely add some talented players to the squad. In particular, his defense must be kept strong. If the defense is weak, he cannot survive in a competitive league like the Premier League. Let's see what will happen.
Impressive achievement from Vincent Kompany on the first season with Burnley promoted to Primer League after success winning EFL Championship, have 10 points difference on last standings position in Championship seems how managed well with Burnley performance under era Vincent Kompany. But can't predictable in Premier League know as most competitive league, have impressive performance in EFL Championship last season can't guarantee for Burnley success lead top standings in Premier League.

Premier League become good experience for Vincent Kompany as younger head coach, we are waiting with Burnley achievement will get top standings position or he can't bring Burnley with good achievement.

Vincent Kompany has worked hard to lead his team to Premier League qualification. He succeeded. I wouldn't say the Brunley team is too strong. A competitive league like the Premier League requires stronger squads to survive. Because almost every Premier League team is rich and powerful enough. This is why Brunley needs more talented and experienced players in the squad. But I will trust Vincent Kompany. He is very hardworking. This is why his team managed to qualify for the Premier League. Now if the Brunley management spends some money, then we might see a steady performance of Brunley in the Premier League as well.

yes, Burnley have enough hope for this season. I think they can compete. in the FA Cup last season Burnley also reached the quarter-finals. unfortunately they stopped by being beaten by City with a very big score of 6-0.
Burnley can at least stay in the mid-table if they can provide consistent performance. we know the weakness of teams that are not as rich as the favorites is the performance of the game. they can look pretty good at the start of the season. but after that they were inconsistent due to the problems of several players.
Burnley have really played a great Championship season under Kompany to be back in PL and I am sure that Kompany will really manage the team well in PL as well. They do need some signings but I still think they can finish between top10-15 otherwise I think they can make it into top 10 for sure if transfers are good ones. I am really curious to see their gameplay and how they start the season. Kompany and his men will be preparing hard for the season ahead.

Vincent Kompany is a younger coach. He is only 37 years old. And so I think he can develop a friendly relationship with his squad players very quickly. And if the relationship between the coach and the players is good, it becomes easier for the coach to understand the weaknesses of the team and squad players. Burnley team is not very strong.

I am not surprised if he accepts the offer from Al Nassr because I am taking into account his current positions in A Madrid and France. His career recovers in A Madrid but he no longer belongs to best players in Europe. The same in French team as despite of his contributions for the team, the captain arm band was given to Mbappe. Generally Griezman is old too and like Mane, Henderson or Fabinho, nothing is wrong if Griezman takes advantage of last seasons in his career to play in Saudi Arabia and get more money.
When a player like Griezman begins to see competition in the European arena getting more and more difficult and many young players appear to attract attention, of course for him getting an offer from the Saudi Arabian club makes even more sense. In Europe, Griezman has proven to be the best player, but in the future there is absolutely no guarantee. Now, by looking at the situation and conditions in Europe, which are getting narrower, Griezman has to think realistically because somehow the opportunity to shine again is quite rare. Griezman only needs to make peace with the situation at the club or indeed make a decision to go to the Arab League immediately.

Yes, Griezmann is something like talented player, but you know he is not a someone like regular scorer. I can see he still managed to pull 15 goals in La Liga previous season with Atletico Madrid, also 38 appearances in La Liga. I have to say that he really played decent enough but if you look at his age he is currently near around 33 years old.

So I have to agree that he has played really well with Atletico Madrid, But I have doubts about his ability for playing with bigger club in the future. And so if Griezmann gets an offer of big wages from a Saudi club, I think he should go to Saudi.  He can earn a lot of money from Saudi clubs. It is really good that at 33 years old Griezmann's fitness is quite smooth, so I think he can easily play 2/3 more seasons in La Liga.

In group B, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka could potentially compete each other, According to the prediction Sri Lanka expected to take the lead in the group. On the other hand, in Group A, the cricketing giants India and Pakistan will fight. Predicting the outcome from their match is a bit challenging. India is a dependable team that consistently performs well, but it's hard to predict about the outcomes for Pakistan. The match on Sep 02 will be a fascinating match in the entire Asia Cup 2023.

Group A only has two strong teams and Nepal is not performing well right now. They performed poorly during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier, and failed to defeat any of the top teams. Asia Cup is going to be a big test for them. First they will face Pakistan (at Multan), and after that they need to face India at Kandy (Pallekele International Cricket Stadium). An upset win would do a lot of good for them. In Group B, the situation is a little bit more unpredictable. Afghanistan can upset either of the two top teams (Sri Lanka and Bangladesh).
As mentioned an upset win is the only choice for Nepal and have the chance of qualifying as the top two team of the group. Nepal is too young to defeat India and Pakistan and stand its chance. It have got good players, while playing against the top teams it isn't an easy thing to win. With the group B, everything is unpredictable as all the three teams were in similar strength. Sri Lanka used to be the favourite, but its recent performance were really worse and they need more encouragement and improvement.

Sithara007, The first match which is going to be played between Pakistan and Nepal is certainly going to be one-sided. The first match which might be competitive is going to be between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. And of course everyone is waiting for the India versus Pakistan match.

I just realized that the first four matches are not going to be played in Pakistan as I thought. I thought the first four matches were going to be played in Pakistan and after that everyone was going to move to Sri Lanka. But that is not the case. The venues are going to be changing. Don’t know if that is very efficient to be honest.

Bangladesh did not do very well recently in the ODI series. So I think Afghanistan does actually have a chance to pull something incredible off.

Interestingly Humbert has made it through to the quarter finals, he seems to be having
a very good run over the last few weeks and now plays Dimitrov - I would say both
players are of similar talent ATM but the odds are Dimitrov 1.53 - 2.50 Humbert, he
might be worth a chance at that high odds

Humbert's performance is truly commendable. In the last match, he performed really well and was able to win the match in a very convincing manner.  His opponent Watanuki did not have any chance, to be honest. But Dimitrov is going to be a hard opponent to beat. Certainly a lot harder compared to his last opponent.

If I have seen correctly, Jarry was literally vomiting on the pitch during a break in the match against Tsitsipas.
Now he looks more like a person who has been drinking a lot / or has severe indigestion, not the classic tennis player Roll Eyes

After the first 2 really interesting sets (both ended in tie break) now in the third set the Chilean seems to have lost hope (4-2)... Chilean winning odd actually on @14+
[edit1 5-2 for Tsitsipas....]
[edit2 6-2 for Tsitsipas Grin ]

I personally don’t know what it was. But I will certainly say that there is nothing without discipline for an athlete. A player will also have to take care of his body Very carefully.  Jarry was certainly not at his hundred percent in that match.

Anyway, it was a good match, but the end was a little too easy for Stefanos tsitsipas. Now he is going to face Ćorić in his next match. this semi-final is definitely going to be good.

West Indies vs India
  In the team match I thought that India will perform well in this match and win the match. India lost this match due to the bad performance of the batsmen of the team. The run target that West Indies first put into the field could have been easily exceeded by the Indian team.I did not understand that the batsman of the Indian team, Ishan Kishan, will bat so badly. Ishan Kishan got out with 9 runs in 6 balls. Although the words of the Indian team are good, India lost very badly in batting. It is very sad that India lost the match for 4 runs.
I predicted in another thread that West Indies is a good side in T20Is. They have the ability to beat any team on their day. Pooran and Rovman Powell played well and posted a good total on the board. But, it was chasable for India as well. The winning margin is not too big. They were almost there. So I would say it was bad luck.
Indian opening pair failed to play well. Only Tilak Varma was outstanding with the bat. But it's a hard job for a single batter to win the match. He needed some support from another side as well. But others were maintaining a 100 strike rate only.
The T20 match between West Indies and India has been extremely competitive. But India's loss to West Indies is really ridiculous, I think some of the matches India lose are because of their arrogance. However, if the Indian batsmen were a little more careful, this match could have been secured.
If you observe, you can definitely see that the Indian team completely fell apart after Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill got out. Because the opening batsmen did not do the team any favors as they put the team under a lot of pressure by getting out early. Later, only the fall of wickets is seen, those who performed well in the previous matches, came to T20 and performed very poorly. Especially in the ODI matches, the Indian team could do some good things for the team even if they were few in number. But in the T20I match, the Indian team could not meet the West Indies' short run. Because the Indian team failed to win despite trying hard.

The performance of the opening pair is very important in the T20 format. However, it is my belief that the subpar showing of the Indian batsmen cannot be solely attributed to Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill's struggles.. Indian batsmen's performance is erratic as we have been witnessing for a long time. There is no batsman in the squad who is capable of consistently performing well. The performance of every player in the squad has been erratic. And Indian management is not able to solve this problem. They have made several changes in the squad, but their performances have not been consistent. Examining the last two ODI matches, the second encounter showcased a woeful display by the Indian batsmen, while the preceding match witnessed a resounding victory with a margin of 200 runs. Consequently, the Indian batsmen must strive for enhanced consistency in their performances. Batsmen need to be more patient.

Dembele did not live up to the expectations that Barcelona brought Dembele to the team, which is why Barcelona are now planning to sell the player, while PSG are already in talks with Barcelona to sign Dembele. Considering PSG's current attacking line, signing Dembele could be a good decision. Although this French star did not perform as expected by Barcelona, I hope he can perform as expected by PSG and Dembele will be an important forward star for PSG. Dembele could be signed by PSG very soon and the French star could be seen in PSG's training camp very soon.
Dembele must also want to go to the French league because he is French. I think he will achieve successful results with Psg in the French league. Although he fell short of expectations with Barcelona, ​​Psg could make a splash for him. I think Dembele should go to PSG. It will have good results for his career.

Dembele is a very talented player. But he was not successful with Barcelona. Dembele's fitness is not good enough. He has been plagued by injuries almost every season. But PSG would be a good choice for Dembele. Ligue 1 is relatively less competitive. And so Dembele's chances of injury will also decrease. And I think Dembele will be able to perform better if he is not suffering from injuries. But we don't know if PSG will add Dembele to the squad. PSG need replacements for Messi and Mbappe. They will probably want more experienced and talented players in the squad. I eagerly anticipate observing the lineup choices made by Luis Enrique for his attacking force.

I think it is a good thing for Dortmund to go after young players bring out the best from them, it is also good strategy for Dortmund to generate money through this pattern but selling out this players after a season is not this best. It will be very good if they can also consider winning trophies and making money for selling their players as their plan. Since they have enough money to buy players they can buy many players keep some to win trophies and some can be sold out. Not having any plan of winning trophies for a team like Dortmund is really making sense .

Dortmund management is certainly very experienced, which is why they are able to find talented young players. And these players can be sold by Dortmund management at very high prices after 1/2 season with Dortmund. It is really good for earning money. At the same time, because their coach is experienced enough, the young players are able to perform brilliantly in the Dortmund squad. But Dortmund should also fight for the title. Because common viewers like me are very fed up with only Bayern Munich's dominance every season in Bundesliga. I don't dislike the Bayern Munich team. However, I would like to see a new champion in the Bundesliga.
