Joao Felix is unavailable for purchase by Barcelona due to financial constraints. Barcelona would rather not purchase Joao Felix for that reason. Should they permit Joao Felix to return to Atletico Madrid, they will later regret it as they lack a player as skilled in that role as Joao Felix. I always watch Barcelona games, and every time Joao Felix enters the pitch, you can see that the game changes because he always moves the ball really well, allowing Barcelona to score goals. It's even better than before. At least Barcelona will know if they made the right decision or not if Joao Felix leaves.
In regards to Branthwaite, I think Real Madrid needs a defensive player badly. His play has drawn attention from both Real Madrid and Manchester United, which is good, but I don't think Real Madrid will sign him. As it stands, Real Madrid needs a defensive player badly, but they don't want to sign anyone because they think their injured defensive players will recover well. As a result, they didn't worry too much about any defensive players; instead, they concentrated on finding the player who would wear number nine, and I believe they are in the process of acquiring the player.
Felix has always been a good player, he's a loan player no doubt but he's performed more than he did with his original club. Barcelona has given him the type of tempo he needs to play with. They're a good and committed team and their players are coordinated. The coach himself is young and knows what he needs and builds his team to deliver rightly. It won't be bad to watch Felix stay to do more at Barcelona. Atletico didn't favor him as much as Barcelona has. He's now out of his shell and has built more confidence in himself as well. I personally don't think that after being watched to grow by Barcelona, then they'd let him off their camp. And I'm convinced that he also would want an extension with the Spanish side. What kills a team is favoritism and it's one factor that should be worked on. Coaches should not involve favoritism as it may have an impact on the game outcomes and as well cause a whole lot of technical errors to occur and it may affect the players' conditions. They need to be encouraged and made to put in efforts to working in the team. It'll build their ball playing abilities and causes positivity in every game outcomes. |

Financial issues is a very big challenge to any club because in a situation were the need to sign more good quality players will arise but there is no means of signing them it becomes a very big barrier to the club because if I'm not mistaken that's exactly what Barcelona is currently going through now because they are financially unstable and considering there current poor performance there is a serious need for them to get more good and quality players in other for there next season to go smoothly. Although Beşiktaş has many young players but there performance is not enough to take them far so whichever way they seriously need to sign more players in other to balance the team.
After Covid era still many clubs are facing these financial troubles, and they are losing their spots because mostly many are not able to bring quality changes which increase their performance even media rights and other deals are doing good but still these are not enough for them to have better and positive changes which are surely going to have serious impact in coming days. Besiktas is also having same problem which is surely needed some good and quick intention but how this is also big question Barcelona and many Italian clubs are having bad time with things are not favorable so hopefully here they will be able to have some positive change which will increase their sources, and they will also able to have better changes. The financial situation of Barcelona at the moment doesn't require an irrational spending. It requires careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needs to get out of the situation fast and so they wouldn't dare trade their chances. They've got eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just can't squeeze out that funds because it'll lead to another jeopardy. It's so sad that for the mean time, they'll be left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team would also mean a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona is just endurance whilst finding quick means out of this situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. The Copa del Rey is on and definitely, they're expected to perform better in most of their encounters. |

There are lots of people speculating like you because the only big chances to escape is between Manchester United and Galatasaray, even though we shouldn't be able to conclude thats Copenhagen is playing badly in the Champions League. Because we don't yet know what their potential is and its true that Copenhagen managed to proved it to everyone who know there is no doubt that they are not a club that is easily underestimated by any club, including Manchester United and Galatasaray, because clubs that are underestimated are able to read their opponent weaknesses so they can exploited them to achieve victory.
Seeing Copenhagen able to qualify for the round of 16 through quite difficult obstacles is an impressive achievement because they are in a group between clubs that is quite difficult, but unfortunately its struggle may only reach the round of 16 because it looking like Copenhagen will have difficulty getting rid of Manchester City in the round of 16 knowing the gap the quality of players is far superior to defending champion Manchester City.
At the moment, the UCL round of 16 draw is out and for some teams, it's going to be a serious tussle and for some it'll be a minor jump through to the next stage. Judging based on team strength, City has a better chance to advance than Copenhagen, so does PSG, Dortmund and Bayern. For the remaining fixtures, the teams are strong and the result is just unpredictable. Arsenal and Porto are in good form, same performance range, the probability is shaky, thesame with Napoli and Barcelona. For Madrid and Leipzig, one would say Madrid are in a better position to advance but the German side shouldn't be underrated though, they're also good in their own way. For Inter and Atletico, it's going to be a serious battle, none of them would allow the other to just go freely without making it tough. Hopefully these teams would use their home advantages wisely and to the best of their ability too. |

To be honest, I don't really follow the development of the teams competing in Serie A. so, I don't really know any developments. but that doesn't mean I can't find out the statistics of the teams competing in Serie A, including AS Roma. what is certain is that AS Roma is experiencing unstable performance even though AS Roma actually has a pretty good front line, and Mourinho should be able to maximize it. I don't know why Serie A teams prefer the 3-5-2 pattern, even though there are still many ideal systems. the 3-5-2 pattern is actually effective, but it must be filled by competent players in each position. at least Inter always uses this pattern, but Simone Inzaghi is smart in placing his players and implementing his strategy. at a minimum, he knows when to rotate players depending on the opposing team. well, Jose Mourinho should have been smarter because in fact Mourinho has long experience and has brought several clubs he has managed to success to become champions under his tutelage. however, what we are seeing now is not that special in Mourinho's hands.
Talking about the playoff match between Feyenoord versus AS Roma, to be honest I quite doubt AS Roma. moreover, the first leg match was held at home to Feyenoord. referring to the betting market for a while, the home team is favored by bookies. so, the question is whether Mourinho will remain loyal to his defensive system in his away matches, especially the match against Feyenoord. if so, it could be that the home team will take advantage to win the match and maximize every opportunity to score a goal. however, this match actually still has quite a long time lag. there is still time for AS Roma to improve its performance.
The Serie A is one of the top league in the football World, with alot of great history in top European competition, it's got clubs with good strategy as well. We'll as we all know José Mourinho is a defensive manager a very good one at it, known for parking the box especially when he's having the lead in a game, we'll over the years it's favoured him cause he's won lot of trophies in different leagues with such strategy and even got to the finals in the Europa League against Sevilla last season. Their is tendency that Mourinho could change from his defensive pattern and go all attack against Feyenoord, cause currently it's not really favoring the club, except he would introduce players that are very good defensively into the team, cause they've been in a very poor form lately and have lost some few important matches. Well just like you mentioned, there's still time to improve their performance before this match based on the long time lag and I hope Mourinho utilises the current ongoing transfer window and strengthen his team very well. |

Ivory Coast was into group A because they are as a host so they will starting first match in this competition and at their squad Ivory Coast has Ousmane Diomande, Franck Kessie, Jonathan Bamba,Jeremy Boga and Jean Thierry Lazare and mostly these players is important player at their club actually Ivory Coast under Jean-Louis Gasset has impressive performance because from 9 latest matches in all tournaments Ivory Coast only lose once and on the paper at group A Ivory Coast should be able to qualified to the next round because only Nigeria is the strongest opponent on that group
Guinea-Bissau will be first opponent for Ivory Coast and as a host first match will not be so easy for them because the fans hoping Ivory Coast can able to overcomes Guinea-Bissau and if they can able to do that Ivory Coast journey to this competition will be more easy and if i am not mistaken this is their first met at big tournament because previously whether Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast was never met however Guinea-Bissau actually is not in the good shape because they had just lose with big scores from Mali so there is a chances for Ivory Coast to collect 3 points from this match even if possible win with big scores and for betting options Ivory Coast has low odds @1.23
Ivory Coast the host of tournament are in group A of the competition. They’ve got a good squad who are quite quality in their respective clubs. Now they’re in same group with Nigeria and where we see Nigeria as the only strongest team in that group. With Ivory Coast’s quality, I think they’ll be joining Nigeria past the group stage of this competition. Guinea-Bissau who’ll be Ivory Coast’s first opponent aren’t in a good shape, and it’ll be quite difficult for them to defeat the host team especially in a match opener. So this will be an easy one for Ivory Coast cause if Guinea-Bissau could lose with a big defeat to Mali then I doubt if they'll be able to stand a chance against Ivory Coast that's been one of the strongest contenders of this tournament over the years. They got better players with experience that are in top European clubs compared to Mali. |

That's an impressive record by Emery's Aston Villa. I can't remember the last time Emery guided a team for a such impressive continous performance, because I only remember that he got sacked at almost every club he managed. LoL. Their consistency, home win records, and ability to cause trouble for other teams have indeed been noteworthy. The unexpected nature of their success adds an exciting element to the competitive landscape of the league.
But I'm still doubting that they are able to compete for the title considering the competition at the to five is so tight, only six points gap between first and fifth position while Aston Villa currently is second. The Competition in the second half of the season will surely increase, especially with teams like Manchester City with their key players coming back from injuries likely to intensify their efforts to reclaim the top spot. The battle for top positions will undoubtedly be intense, and it will be fascinating to see how Aston Villa maintains their momentum and navigates the challenges ahead.
Emery is really doing pretty well with this Villa team,he’s managed to remain consistent especially at home. It’s been a while he’s achieved such feat with a football club and now. Now they’ve made the league quite competitive and dynamic. They can’t yet be defined as tirle contenders because they’ve not yet proved to be champions because they’re not yet winning consistently and away from home. Manchester City and Liverpool seem to be the only teams wanting the league seriously as the competition this second half will be fierce. I would love to see how Villa will be able to pass through this storm to try and come out top, but it’ll be better they target top 4 than trying to go for the league because it seems pretty impossible, well nothing is impossible if Leicester could win the EPL title in the 2015/16 season then anyone can. However I don't see Villa having same team spirit like Leicester when they won they league so targeting top 4 is not a had idea, than chasing wild goose. |

Liverpool's victory in the league cup against Fulham with a score of 2-1, it seems that there are some parties who feel dissatisfied because Mohamed Salah is not present, but of course even though Mohamed Salah doesn't appear, I think Liverpool shows their performance well even without Mohamed Salah, Liverpool can win match. Indeed, Liverpool really needs the figure of Mohamed Salah because with Mohamed Salah Liverpool's performance will be even better. and I think if there was Mohamed Salah, Liverpool would probably score more goals. In the second leg of the semifinals, it will certainly be an exciting match between Fulham and Liverpool because Fulham has certainly learned a lot from the previous match against Liverpool and without the presence of Mohamed Salah, it certainly opens up good opportunities for Fulham. .
but if you think about it, the absence of Mohamed Salah will make Liverpool's performance less than optimal, but in the absence of Mohamed Salah, Jurgen Klopp will definitely provide good direction and strategy for the Liverpool players so that in the end the Liverpool players will be able to play. to adapt without Mohamed Salah. Of course we have seen Liverpool's match without Mohamed Salah, even though without Mohamed Salah, Liverpool could have won. Yes, of course there are other players who can be relied on as you mentioned.
Liverpool won their match against Fulham and they’ve had 2 wins out of 2 since Salah got absent due to the AFCON. This team have tried to maintain victory even with his absence but they’ve struggled and not scored plenty of goals. And this Liverpool team is used to scoring plenty of goals, i feel the second leg of the encounter will be quite fierce especially as Fulham tried to contain them this first leg though they couldn’t hold for long. Moh Salah still out so I think Fulham will learn from this match and head to the next with all they’ve learned. But we must not forget Klopp is a tactician and knows the best way to cover up for Moh’s absence and that’s what he’s done in the last 2 matches and they’ve all proven effective, they'll need to remain consistent and perform well without their star player, Moreover they still got the likes of Gakpo, Nunez and Diaz that would keep the club going while Moh is away for international duties. |

For now, the bookie is giving odds @ 3.70 on Lens for the match against PSG at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' home ground. while PSG with odds of 1.89. there is something a little strange for me referring to this bet, although the odds will change before the match is held.
Apart from that, I haven't received any information regarding this match. so, we can wait and research before this match is held. however, on paper PSG is far superior to Lens. even though this match will be held at home to Lens, it will not be easy for Haise's team to provide fierce resistance to PSG in the match. but at least, Lens was able to recover and is currently in 7th place in the standings. not that bad, considering this team doesn't have a squad that has the same depth as the French League giants. last season, Lens was able to compete closely, one of the reasons being that they didn't have a tight schedule. they only compete in Ligue 1 and the Copa de France. this season, Lens took part in the highest caste competition, namely the Champions League, although in the end they were eliminated in the group phase and dropped to the Europa League. even then, they have to go through the playoffs phase first. which means, this season Franck Haise's troops are really being tested. and yeah, as we know and have seen, Lens is unable to maintain its consistency and performance. for me it's normal, because this team doesn't have enough competitive depth.
On the PSG side, their progress in the Domestic League can be said to be on the right track. after several weeks of winning, PSG was finally stopped by Lille with their winning record because the match ended in a draw. however, PSG was still able to continue its winning streak in the following two matches. in the next 3 days, PSG will play an away match against Lens. for now, I won't speculate too far ahead of this match. moreover, Lens performance is currently starting to improve. of the last 5 matches they played, Lens lost the last match to Nice. and we'll see how these two teams meet. will Lens be able to hold a draw, it will be interesting for us to wait.
I think the odds in this fixture is initiating that this match could be a draw match, and that’s why it’s unsafe to actually bet on right now. PSG is better than this Lens side but PSG could falter though but if I'm to pìck a side, I think I’ll still go with PSG, because they're better in terms of league positions, quality players and good management, PSG would show their class and try not to drop a point. Lens doesn’t have a pretty good squad to compete against PSG, and owing to the fact that they’ve played in the uCl Nd got some players put due to injury. PSG as we know are better picks for this match than Lens because they’re progressing quite alright and will want to increase their lead on the top of the league. Lens could be stubborn at home and try to steal a point though, for this reason, I’ll double chance on PSG to be on a safer side. |

As far as I have observed and followed, Benzema was injured and missed several of his matches with Al Ittihad. in the 19 matches played by Al Ittihad, Benzema only played 15 matches with his team. plus, the system implemented by the previous coach did not suit Benzema's playing style. yeah, as some rumors have reported that Benzema doesn't get along with Nuno Santos. it seems that Benzema doesn't like the system implemented by the coach who previously managed Al Ittihad.
now, Marcelo Gallordo is in charge of Al Ittihad. at least Al Ittihad's new coach is bringing an offensive system, and Benzenma is returning to playing as a pure striker or center forward.
IMO, Benzema can actually still be relied on even though he is 36. the problem is, this team is not filled with potential supporting players. in the end, Benzema's performance has not really improved so far. I think it's not just Benzema's problem if Al Ittihad wants improvement. Ideally, club management must bring in several newcomers who can be relied on. good in terms of scoring goals, as well as contributing to helping Bemzema as a goal in his team's squad. which means, Al Ittihad must bring in several wingers who are quite competent and can be relied on. thus, Al Ittihad still has a chance of at least finishing in the top four of the Saudi Pro League. Well, let's see, this competition still has a break before it starts again.
Benzema was doing pretty bad at the start of the season and this could be blamed on his injury and the coach’s style of play. Though I think there’ll be improvements now with this new coach who’s now playing a different style and making Benzema play his traditional position. Hopefully it would help the team get better with time, Benzema is a world class player and with the right backings and players surrounding him, their's a tendency of him improving better. I think the team needs some more additional creative players who’ll be able to help and assist him upfront so as to get the goals. Yes, the goals, because he’s still very active and can deliver at any time.They still have a chance of finishing top. 4 but they’ll have to be pretty better than early season to be able to achieve this feat. As the title defenders in would be very embarrassing if they fail to finish in a good position, even with a balloon D'or holder like Karim Benzema. |

Konyaspor may be the worst managed football team in the last two years. They fired a successful coach like İlhan Palut from the team, and the team has been playing very badly ever since. There was no football player left who could play well, and the coaches were not successful either. In fact, İlhan Palut was performing quite well and made even a weak team dream of Europe, but after losing a few unfortunate points, the president of Konyaspor sent İlhan Palut from the team. He left the presidency a year later.
Of course, during this period, Konyaspor, one of the best teams in the league, became one of the worst teams.
The result is clear in the last match. They embarrassed everyone by conceding 7 goals
Some decisions taken as regards to a team's welfare is critical for the team's performance. Sometimes, bad decisions are made unknowingly which will then be realized later after it has been made. For Konyaspor, they've realized now that their decision was bad for the team as they've not been able to keep up with a good performance. Since the season began, they've been deteriorating in performance and week after week, there's always a loss. It's too bad for the team. Corrections should be made urgently. No one would want to invest in a less performing team. They don't have as much leisure anymore. They just have to fight through this challenge themselves, find a right hand for the job and make moves to betterment. |

I just added Benfica and Sporting to my multi bet, if I had only placed the 3 big Portuguese teams in a multi bet the odds would have been very low and with a great risk of me losing my bet, this is because Porto's game against braga will be a game with the risk of a draw and is very unpredictable, today's port is not that very reliable port of the past where if it were in the past they would win this game against braga and these two teams don't have much difference in confrontations between them, the Porto won 8 times and Braga won 5 times. If it were just this scenario I might not consider the possibility of a draw, but these two teams have already had 5 draws in direct confrontations and in their last games against other teams both teams had a draw
So in my opinion the chances of seeing a draw in this game are very high. It's funny that both teams in the last 5 games had 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat and only have a difference of 2 points, Braga and Porto also did badly when they played against Benfica and Sporting. These two teams are at the same level. but Porto is being seen as the favorite, in my opinion, given the value of the odds, it would be worth making a single bet, but placing a multi bet would be a risk for me. If I change my mind and want to bet on Porto, first I'll watch the game a little and then I'll decide what I'll do. But I've already made my bet for this weekend. Here is my bet:
I believe that Sporting and Benfica will win in their games, my concern in this bet is in the Leverkusen game, which despite being a team that is doing well may have some difficulties in their game, but as for other games in this bet I believe that They don't cause me much uncertainty. Also, at the odds of 5.00, the risk I'm taking is worth it, because if I win, it would give me a profit that would allow me to place 4 bets with higher odds without me incurring losses if I lost all 4 of my next bets. I would still have my capital to bet again if I lost all of the next 4 bets.
Adding 3 to 4 of the Top Teams in your multi-bet slip is quite frustrating and can be pretty crazy because not all the time these teams can achieve success. Now the game of Porto against Braga, I think this will be quite difficult to predict. Porto is playing quite noce but they’re not a team one can bank on and besides, Braga are good on the attack than Porto. But for a safe bet I’ll rather double chance on the Home Team thaan ignoring the match out of my slip. Braga and Porto are both statistically balanced in the league and separated by just little points, so I feel it’ll be safe to see how the match progresses before making a bet, maybe a live bet on both teams in about 30mins into the game would be more preferable, well that's my opinion, however I have this feeling that Braga could beat Porto though I'm not very convinced. |

Yeah indeed Jadon Sancho transfer to Borussia Dortmund is going to have a significant impact on his football career because Borussia Dortmund will give him the opportunity to initiate what he is capable of playing, although Jadon Sancho did not perform too well in Manchester United because of there ways of playing and coach pattern but I have a strong feeling that Jadon Sancho is going to be an assets for Borussia Dortmund, perhaps his performance will just look like Haaland performance, although he was playing very well on Borussia Dortmund when he was transferred to Manchester City he discovered his real potential so I believe that's what may likely happen to Jadon Sancho coming to Borussia Dortmund.
I’m glad for Jadon because he’s now found a club to do what he loves best; which is playing football. He’s now doing it in his club of his youth, Dortmund. He was out of favour with ETH, which led to him being on the bench for over a long period of time. His move to Dortmund will have a practical raise on his career because he’ll now be playing more frequent and that’ll give him a higher chance of featuring in the National team. He performed poorly whilst at Manchester United but I believe he’s got the capacity to regain his scoring feets and play excellently well when at Dortmund, he's been there before though he'll meet some new teammates different from those he played with, but I believe Sancho is not going to find it difficult blending in with his new teammates,luckily for him he was given the no 10 jersey which could help boost his morale at Dortmund. |

The match was actually quite cold and in fact both teams often failed in their attacks until the 40th minute, the number of attacks that failed proved that there were only a few opportunities that were able to be created by both teams in the first half of the match, Milan began to increase the intensity of attacks towards the end of the first half but unfortunately which goal was scored by Leao in the 45th minute, it didn't last long because it only lasted 2 minutes until Atlanta was able to equalize the score at 1-1 at the end of injury time, Milan controlled almost 62% of the ball but actually looked even more defeated in terms of creating opportunities from atlanta, so in the end the score 2-1 was the end of the match, Milan defeat today also made Milan fail to take revenge for the 3-2 defeat in the previous match in week 15 of Serie A this season, Atlanta victory of course made Atlanta steps towards the Italian Cup final even more open and I think the match between Atlanta vs Fiorentina will be very fierce because both of them have fairly balanced statistics every time they meet.
The match between both teams started quite boring but Milan brok the deadlock quite early with a lead in the 45th minute by Leao. Crazy as the game got the lead didn’t last a while.It was equalized on the extra time of the first half; but funny enough they couldn’t get all 3 points as Atalanta got a last minute goal which secured for Atalanta the 3 points. This defeat is a big blow to Milan’s form and all as they’re not able to get all 3 points to secure their log standings and also revenge for the 3-2 defeat. Now Atalanta will face Fiorentina in a match I think won’t be quite easy because both teams are good on the defense and could hit on a counter attack and they’re always at logger head anytime they meet, well let's see how the game unfolds. |

I read on some news said that if chelsea is considering sacking him too. Pochettino is still repeating the same mistakes again and again. How many times he has been targeting by the fans caused by his inconsistency in taking a good decision making for the club. People are also feeling tired of him. Chelsea needs someone who can properly analyze the condition of club anytime. Someone that can at least put the players into the right position and does less experiment to the club unlike pochettino.
I thought that pochettino was good, but it is a big no for chelsea after it have seen what he has done in the club. Chelsea is still stuck in the same place, and that is it. I see no point in defending him right now.
Pochettino has made too many mistakes and it can't be accepted. The bad decision making by pochettino has been trhowing away so many opportunities got by the club.
Do you think it's good to keep him much longer when chelsea has not made any progress since he was coming to the club? The match against middles told us how bad pochettino was in the decision making.
Poch inconsistency is making the fans get tired pretty early and that’s one thing that’s putting his job on the line. He makes poor decisions and choices in lineups that cost the club the win so many times and this is one makor reason the fans are kicking against him still being in charge. Well the owners aren’t too serious and football minded to see these things yet though. But I believe when the fans start kicking then he’ll probably get fired. Poch wasn’t quite experienced to takeover this young Chelsea team and that’s one thing he’s suffering.The inexperience, this team is young and requires quite a lot of experience to keep them in shape. He makes wrong selection choices and it’s not safe to keep him especially when he haven’t achieved anything significant in hos short stay |

Mourinho always has a way of surprising him. I believe Milan and Roma can follow to compete with Liverpool and Leverkusen.
I know Liverpool are more favorites this season for the Europa League trophy. but competition is still nowhere to be seen. We are still waiting for several follow-up teams for the next round and we will map out several clubs that will be very ready and worthy of this season's competition.
Well, let's look forward to what round AS Roma will qualify because yes, at least great expectations also occurred when Lukaku joined the AS Roma squad . Therefore, it does not seem wrong if there is still hope for AS Roma because basically AS Roma also has a great coach and also has a squad that is not bad at all. Although AS Roma still failed to compete in the top zone in the Serie A standings but ya, at least Mourinho still got the success of bringing AS Roma to get good results in European competition . Because indeed,anything can still happen because of course all the teams playing in this knockout phase will maximize the chance they have to qualify and advance further. Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against Atalanta didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves. The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be. |

Chelsea needs a center forward who has more quality, is established and can be relied on. if Phoce only relies on Nicolas Jackson as their goal getter, they will find it difficult to achieve their targets this season. I'm not saying that Nicolas Jackson is a sticker who lacks potential, but it seems that Chelsea needs a truly established player in their attack line. Meanwhile for Nicolas Jackson, maybe he needs adaptation and more flying hours to reach his level of play. after all, Nicolas Jackson is a young player, so there is still plenty of time to develop his talent.
At the same time, Poche needs more than that so that his squad can be consistent and win lots of wins. plus, achieved something they targeted this season. at least, Chelsea is one of the elite teams in the Premier League and it seems like finishing in the top four is their target. To be honest, I don't watch Chelsea games that often. however, referring to the statistics for each match, their performance is really unstable. IMO, Chelsea actually has several players who have quality and can be relied on, but not all of them. moreover, Chelsea is currently dominated by young players, at least they need established players. plus, Poche must try and find ways for his team to improve its performance. if not, his position as Chelsea coach will be at stake.
Chelsea attitude to football has been very much frustrating, they've been behind average in their performance and it's bad because they've at the beginning of the season spent a whole lot on acquisition of new set of players who were believed to be world class and then have slacked in proving their worth. The coach on his part seems lost in his duties as he's not been able to act rightly. He should be able to know where his team and players are doing wrong and fix them up. If he's got some bunch of errors in his duties then there's no way the team would go without having errors too. Chelsea before now were a good team in the hands of good coaches. It's sad to admit that Pochettino wasn't actually the man for the job. We have good players but all we need is the right combo which Pochettino has failed to establish and make consistent. We're far behind on the table and in our current situation, it'll be so hard to catch up. It's difficult to hope on them coming back up and it's a shame that we're at the position we are even with the players we've had in the team. |

Real Mardrid's game against Atletico Madrid was a game that had many funny moments, with 8 goals scored in this game, and we could see some goals being scored in a very funny way. starting with antonio rudiger's own goal, that goal made me laugh a lot, and when I thought that there wouldn't be any more goals of that comical type, came joselu's goal which was also a goal that made me laugh a lot, I even thought that there wouldn't be any more goals like that until Brahim Diaz's goal came, which was another goal that made me laugh a lot, the departure of Atlético Madrid's goalkeeper made space open for that counter attack, but the funniest part is that the Atletico Madrid player atletico madrid and the atletico madrid goalkeeper were ahead of the real madrid player and even so the real madrid player was faster and reached the ball first and shot at the goal and scored the fifth goal
it was a game in which real madrid's defense made a lot of mistakes, normally real madrid has been a team with an excellent defense, but in that game they conceded 3 goals when they could have avoided them, but as real madrid's attack has been very effective they managed score a lot of goals to the point of winning the game, but looking at the opponent in that game, which was Atlético Madrid who are not doing well this season, I expected that Real Madrid would be able to win this game without having any major difficulties. but unfortunately they won with difficulty, they were close to losing the game
Yesterday night's Spanish super cup hosted the Madrid Derby with Real Madrid proving again that they're in charge. It was a good game from both teams. Definitely the results at full time was expected. Both sides have been long time rivals and so winning wasn't going to be made easy too. Atletico really gave Madrid a tough game to the extent that it took Madrid the full 90mins plus and extra 30mins overtime to win the game. They were able to hold down to a draw at the full time but during the last minutes of the extra time, Real Madrid strived hard to ensure the win from the game with an extra 2goals in the net. It was an encouraging performance from them. Their confidence ahead is boosted too and for Atletico, they did their best to fight hard till the end but one team just had to win. They've got to look onto keeping up their pace in the league race afterwards. |

It is true that Henderson cannot score many goals because his dominant position is more defensive and in every match he plays he is always in the middle position, Henderson cannot find gaps to go forward and get assists to score goals.
It also shame for players like Henderson who were previously with Liverpool and if he hadn't moved, maybe now he would have had winning party and had chance of winning the title.
Al-Ettifaq is in 8th place and of course this is also the reason why Henderson cannot perform well enough.
It is difficult to maintain self-confidence if he himself is not happy or does not believe in the team he is playing for.
So that why Firmino is heavily linked with rumors of him returning to play with Liverpool because Salah himself is key player who might leave Liverpool, but it is not yet clear whether there will be an extension like in 2021.
Sometimes a player's decision to switch team can make or mar his career. At thesame, it won't be evident at first till the move is made. Henderson with Liverpool did exceedingly well. He had the right team spirit he needed and he delivered justly in his position. His switch made a difference in his position on the pitch too, his new role isn't adequately executed and he's just got to struggle hard to keep up a good play. It's draining though because with Liverpool if he had remained in the team, it'd have been a more positive scenario. The current situation has effect on his physical and mental capabilities in the team and it needs to be corrected or he better still, switches to a more favourable condition of play. Even if it means going to a mediocre team in the EPL. |

And there is still quite lot of time left for each team to prepare for the match, it is clear that if they lose in two legs of the match they will be eliminated from the UCL competition.
In the Manchester City vs Copenhagen match, it is clear that Manchester City will be the favorite and in the first and second leg matches, Manchester City will definitely have the advantage.
Even though the first leg will be home match for Copenhagen, I sure that Manchester City can still win it and for the second leg of course Manchester City will have another big victory because they have home match.
With the return of the main players, Pep can use the perfect composition of players like he helped Manchester City win three competitions last season.
For the Premier League itself, Newcastle is still not great opponent for Manchester City and of course all conveniences can be obtained when very perfect squad is well structured.
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. They're the title defenders and take any chances to get disqualified at the round of 16. 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 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. |

If you don't look at the development of League 1 over several seasons, most people might think that Lyon is a weak club, but actually they are not a weak club, they are just unlucky this season and it could be said that this is Lyon's worst season because they have to fight to secure their position so as not to be relegated, and I think Lyon can still secure a position in the middle of the standings because this season is still long and Lyon still has the opportunity to recover from their current downturn.
I think it's too far if you say Lyon can secure 3rd place so they can advance to the Champions League, they can just get out of the relegation zone which is a lucky thing for Lyon because they are fighting for that and I think their focus is not on the Champions League or league competitions. Europe because their current focus is on improving their overall performance so as not to be relegated.
I hope that after good results in the last few matches, Lyon can continue their good performance so that they are not underestimated by other clubs.
Lyon is gradually becoming a relegation team and I know for sure that they won't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been so poor on their side and it seems like there's a huge work to be done. They have over 20 games to go and they have to secure at least 40 points to be out of the relegation zone. Hopefully, they'd be able to play well a bit, win some games and draw some and also avoid much losses too because every loss will affect their chance. Extra efforts and determination needs to be put to the team and they've got face the reality of the battle they've got at hand. No laziness or backwardness should be entertained too. Their league is not so competitive and they normally themselves have the strength before now to compete. There's still high chance for them. Winning at least 9 out of the remaining 20+ games would go along way. Asides the 3points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top. |
