Kane, has become a very productive player in the Bundesliga competition. now, he is the temporary top scorer by scoring 21 goals. it's really not in vain that Bayern brought him from Spurs even though it was a fantastic transfer fee. however, Kane paid for it with his excellent performance, plus he also often contributed with his assists. the Bundesliga competition still has a lot of matches left, which means Kane can add to his goal collection in this competition. also, in the Champions League if Bayern can go as far as possible. currently Bayern Munich is 4 points behind Leverkusen, the squad coached by Xabi Alonso. being 4 points behind should not be a significant obstacle for the German League champions. Bayern is an established team and has a winning mentality in the Bundesliga. that's why, maybe Kane is more interested in joining Munich than teams from the Premier League. plus, Kane also has a dream of winning various titles with Bayern Munich.

This season, they can make it happen. even though they are 4 points adrift of Leverkusen, Bayern has 1 postponed match and 1 meeting at BayArena against Xabi Alonso's squad. in this match, Bayern has the potential to increase the point difference or at least equalize the temporary points tally. what is certain is that if Leverkusen runs smoothly in every match, then there is one way to stop it when these two teams meet. and Bayern Munich has a chance for that, even though the first meeting ended in a draw. the problem is, now Bayern is much tougher. and it is possible that Tuchel will increase the strength of his squad by bringing in new arrivals. in essence, Bayern Munich remains the favorite to defend its title in this competition. and this is a challenge for Leverkusen.

As for Lewandowski, it is very natural for him to choose to leave because he wants to experience competing in another league. it's just that, the problem is, Barcelona often experiences problems, whether it's injured players or a lack of effort by Xavi as Barcelona's head coach. btw, this is just a personal opinion for Barcelona.
The most randomly used tactics solution when facing a bigger team is a defensive strategy that only obeys counter attacking. Bayern do not seem as a team that'll be vulnerable to this tactic but they still have to be cautious. They have all it takes to secure a big win, their players from defense to attack are so organized such that Kane doesn't have to make much struggle in winning the ball and placing at the back of the net.

 Tuchel is one skilful coach and he knows how best to counter the tactics that's put forward by opposing teams. Bayern Munich themselves are one team that makes winning so easy for them and there wouldn't be a surprise if it's thesame outcome in their next game. In as much as Leverkusen are currently at the top of the standings in the German League, there's still hope and opportunity and confidence in Munich to reclaim the top spot. The season has been quite competitive and challenging for Munich based on Leverkusen's awakened impact and standard of football. They've made Munich loose a winning point in their home ground and that definitely says a lot on how critical and technical their contest for the trophy is. They're not taking chances.

 Munich has had the show in the German League for a while now and truthfully they've so gotten used to it. This season may be the difference and they may have to sit back and watch someone else lift the trophy. It'll be bad and sad for them though that's why I believe Tuchel won't fold his arms and watch Alonso's Leverkusen take it all. They're just a very little point away from each other, with Munich to a pending match advantage too.

It didn't actually happen that they lost a match after Liverpool became champions. Despite winning the first three matches, the team lost the fourth match against Toulouse 3–2. And Liverpool would be group champions if they win or draw against Toulouse. Liverpool's point difference with Toulouse is only 1. If Toulouse had won their last three games, Liverpool would not have won the group. But Toulouse Union drew the match against Saint Gilloise. And so it cannot be said that Liverpool lost on purpose after winning the group.
.
I have no doubt that Liverpool are a strong team. However, the three teams Leverkusen, Roma and Milan must be considered strong in the Europa League platform. Galatasaray and Sporting teams are also not to be underestimated. These teams are basically the main rivals of the Europa League. We usually see the Liverpool team performing in the Champions League
Liverpool yes already secured qualification from the group lest the need for squad rotation which resulted in the loss they had in the group. They’re having a serious challenge domestically for their league and that’s one reason the coach tried the rotation. Well though they still finished top and yes they must be compared as strong contenders for the UEL though we must not take the radar off Leverkusen who are a very young squad with high winning rate; Mourinho’s Roma, as we all know how deep Mourinho is with European titles and the History of Milan and European titles.

 These 4 clubs shouldn’t be overlooked as they could cause problems for Liverpool in this competition. Galatasaray and Sporting might not prove much a threat but are still on the radar. But I believe Liverpool has a vast experience and have a better squad than Milan who have the experience and Leverkusen who have the squad but lacks full experience.

The only thing that is stopping Manchester City from overtaking Aston Villa is because of their outstanding match with Brentford but that will be settled very soon. I didn't expect them to have good form after they fell out of the table and because Haaland has not been active but now it seems Alvarez has took the show with Manchester City on his shoulder making the team proud. Now visualize how they are going to come back strongly if KDB and Haaland was to be active like he use to be in the last few months.

My only fear now about the Premier League is because of Arsenal, they raw 1 of their last 3 matches and 2 losses and this losses happen in a row, now it's difficult to describe the form of Arsenal. They are tired and need to change some players. I think they need more players so that Saka and Jesus can be bench when they have more important matches to play like the Champions League, it will allow them to be productive and have time energies.
Manchester City who sits 3rd with same points with Aston Villa but have the upper hands due to their outstanding and could even go top after their outstanding. They’re no match for Aston Villa and yes many persons expected them not to be up and doing thos season but yet they’re back at their form. And funny enough KDB and Haaland will be back on the pitch of play which is a big one for them and that means they’re back in the title chase and are going to go all out for it.

 Arsenal are Already out of the title chase if you check it out well because their squad can’t compare to Liverpool and Manchester City’s as they could falter, well things could go better if they make some major signings and then get back their form so well, if not what happened the previous season could end up reoccuring again.

Just like Manchester City, who always try to become champions in this competition, in the end they were able to, even winning the treble winner. the same is true for Paris Saint-Germain. unfortunately, City and PSG have many differences. City started by building the foundations early, while PSG with a big star mega project. maybe they think that having star players with big names can bring PSG to achieve its dreams and missions so far. unfortunately, PSG is not supported by a coach who has a track record in this competition. plus, relying too much on the front line. even though, there are several positions that are lacking and what they need.

Now, PSG is handled by a coach who has experience in this event. it's just that Luis Enrique's squad has not yet achieved the game the coach wants. we can prove this simply, if Luis Enrique always tries to rotate and change the pattern of his system. which means, what he implemented was not according to his wishes. plus, the players they have haven't played at the level the coach wants. so, it's natural that Mbappe remains his mainstay. also, Enrique needs some newcomers to complement his needs. now, we are talking about the PSG vs Real Sociedad match. in theory and on paper, PSG is far superior to its opponents. apart from playing at the Parc des Princes, PSG's headquarters. Luis Enrique's squad is also more favored based on the betting market. even though it is temporary, it shows that PSG has a higher probability than Real Sociedad in the next match. whether you win or not, all of that will be determined when this match is held. so, let's wait.
PSg are in same shoes as how Man City were few years ago but the difference is that Manchester City had a rebuilding process and had a very big competition domestically which helped them improve so well. But PSG is lacking so many of these as we can see that there are no competitions domestically which makes them a bit relaxed.

 Now when you look at the coach in charge yes he’s good but not top notched and might not be able to handle this squad to get the best out of them. I think he needs to get his own major signings and he should try not to build this club around Mbappé. His departure could hurt this club so he should try as much as possible to get early replacement. And I hope the other clubs in the league gets better investment so as to put a competition for PSG.

If Xabi ends up bringing Leverkusen to one of the titles, whether it be the Bundesliga or the Europa League, it is certain that he will not necessarily be able to take United in a better direction. if only, Xabi Alonso became the boss at Manchester United. problems that occur at Manchester United, it is often seen that Ten Hag's side is blamed for their team's squad. notification, I'm not a fan of The Red Devil. based on my personal point of view, what is happening at Kudu United is very complex. starting from injured players, limited spending budgets in the last summer transfer market, player and coach disputes, inconsistent players, egoists in the game who want to perform well themselves, and so many problems that Ten Hag has to fix. apart from that, Ten Hag made several blunders by rotating and implementing his system. since the acquisition of United, this team has been hit by a storm of injuries and other problems. for me, as a neutral fan, it's actually not Ten Hag's fault. just like Liverpool last season, where The Red Drop played very badly. now, problems have befallen The Red Devil.

Well, now we are talking from the content of Xabi Alonso. since Alonso took charge of Leverkusen, his name has increasingly become the center of attention, with several clubs wanting his services. one of them was Madrid before Ancelotti extended his contract. also, it is rumored that Alonxo will be targeted by Bayern Munich if Thucel fails this season. for young coaches, Xabi Alonso is able to show that he is competent to be a reliable coach. but Leverkusen and Real Madrid are different, as are The Red Devils. the coach's job is not only to prepare players, implement systems and strategies, but also to be a leader both on the field, outside the field and most importantly in the dressing room. and problems at United, one of which is in the dressing room. we can see that there are several players who put their own ego first. so, Ten Hag's task in the future is to be a firm leader. and in several matches, he has done this by leaving Marcus Rasford on the bench. so the point is, even if Alonso becomes United coach. if the problem is the same, then it will be difficult for this team to get back on track. btw, this is just my personal point of view.
I don’t thin Xabi will do any better than Erik Ten Hag with his current United squad. I don’t think the problem of this squad is coaching, but I feel the coach should be given more time. This squad is facing some crisis and Xabi won’t be able to redeem this squad from her crisis. Xabi’s work with Leverkusen has gotten him on the radar for so many high profile clubs but most of these clubs could be bigger than him at this point.

 At United, Erik Ten Hag has tried to remain the head of the team by taking drastic decisions that are really hurting but were important to instill discipline. These kind of attitudes Xabi might not posses but United should try and hold on because Erik Ten Hag isn’t doing bad and Xabi is still young for this United team talk more of Real Madrid, there's a tendency that he might even be worst if he moves to united, after all Ten Hag wasn’t this bad when he was a his former club (Ajax).

while Sporting will have a complicated game, Porto will have a much easier game against Boavista who in the last 5 games have not managed to at least get a victory, Boavista is going through a moment of crisis, in the last games Boavista is on a streak of 5 consecutive games without winning, while Porto, as always, is on the list of teams at the top of the table and fighting for the title, I highly doubt that they will waste this good opportunity to win and get the 3 points, mainly because they know that Sporting and Benfica will have complicated games that could lose points;

And speaking of Benfica, they will have a complicated game against Arouca, who in the last 5 games had only 1 defeat and come to this game with a sequence of 4 consecutive games without losing, Arouca didn't do well when playing against the big teams. , they lost in the game against Sporting, in a game in which they conceded 2 goals and scored 1 goal, then lost again in the game against Braga in a game in which they failed to score 1 goal and conceded 1 goal, while Benfica comes After a sequence of 5 games without losing, they are in second place, so they will do their best to come out of this game with victory, in my opinion Benfica will win this game
In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the EPL too.

 The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are making good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games. But since gambling is not 100% sure it would be advisable to beat of only the Portuguese teams that's got good record recenty

Cagliari is looking terrible at the moment. I can understand why people may think that they are going to go down, it is looking like they are having one of their worst season in recent years, and they just can't seem to be getting into position at all. From defense to midfield to offense, all the parts of the team looks like they are in disorganized situation and not really playing like a single unit, and that makes them look a lot worse.

I understand that we may consider this situation a bit different, but that doesn't mean that we are going to be right, we just need to make sure that we are betting on them to lose, and that will get us a lot of money. Most people think betting on the best teams is great, but betting on Cagliari to lose means you could get some good odds as well. I did that a few times already and made some good return as well, I believe that they will mostly lose until the end of the season and that's why betting like that is good.
Cagliari this season have been slacking in keeping up with game victories, they've had a bad record so far. Their loss yesterday was expected no doubt but they'd have struggled harder to keep a high tempo in the game as Milan wasn't in much of a good form. Well Milan is a big team and they showed their class yesterday despite their poor form currently.

 Their struggle in the Serie A isn't encouraging and it won't be surprising that they'd finish up the season in a spot that isn't so encouraging. They have weeks ahead, now they're out of the Copa Italia contest and so they've got just one job to do, stay in shape and out of relegation. No one knows how well they'd be able to keep up with the aim for the rest of the season. There still will be tough opponents which they don't really stand a chance over, maybe they'd try harder to subdue less threatening teams.

After all, Kane has a long contract here at Bayern Munich until 2027 and thus, it is still quite possible for Kane to also end his career at Bayern Munich, who knows. After all, basically Kane is a very productive player and deserves to get lots of trophies but unfortunately, Kane played for a long time at Tottenham which didn't make Kane lucky there at all. Thus, playing in a team as big and good as Bayern Munich means yes, ofcourse Kane has a better chance of getting lots of trophies in the Bundesliga with Bayer Munich or maybe also in the Champions League.

At least, although it is not easy for Bayern Munich to get many trophies, but Kane has played in the right team compared to Tottenham. Therefore, I think Kane will be more consistent in scoring a lot of goals at Bayern Munich because ya, Bayern Munich has good passers in midfield and that will be a factor for Kane to score more goals more easily.
Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Bayern Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's a great player and i believe he'll win lots of trophies with his
current team.

 He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly. His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward. This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too.

Previously I only heard rumors about Arda Guler potentially making his debut in the Real Madrid vs Mallorca match but then this rumor has now been confirmed by the coach himself (Ancelotti) that this rumor is true. That Arda Guler has indeed recovered and has even participated in full training and Ancelotti also said that he might give Arda Guler playing time to make his debut. But he said that he would only play for a few minutes. But I think that's enough of a start for Arda Guler. I hope this young player can play well and make a good debut even with only limited time.

Real Madrid must win this match so that they remain safe at the top of the standings. Because currently Real Madrid and Girona have the same number of points. So in today's match Real Madrid must be able to collect full points. And hope that Girona does not get full points in the match against Atletico Madrid.
It'll be much interesting to watch Guler showcase his abilities and qualities in his debut game with Madrid against Mallorca which is up and running already. Ancelloti is a skillful man and he definitely knows when and how to use his players, that's why they're successful and would continue achieve lots with him as Real Madrid manager.

 Madrid have a goal lead already and it was expected, they had to stay on top, gather up the 3points for the night too. Hopefully the game between Girona and Atletico Madrid would end fairly for both side, but which ever way, it's an advantage for Madrid as the 3points from tonights game has kept them on top pending subsequent game results. The tussle for the La Liga trophy is on and now every game counts for both Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid too.

Salah will probably be sold to a Saudi Arabian team this summer. A Saudi Arabian team made an offer for him after the summer transfer window was closed as well by the way. But Liverpool didn't accept the offer despite its being a gigantic one. Because it was out of transfer window for Liverpool so they wouldn't be able to transfer anyone to fill his place right away.

But this summer Liverpool could be open for offers. While they have an opportunity to make a lot of money by his transfer they should do this. Salah could also be keen on leaving depending on the amount of contract offer.
Yeah i think you're righ, the chances of him leaving Liverpool is very high, cause the money the Saudi side offered for his demand last summer is very tempting and they might come up with an improved offer that would make Liverpool give up one of their most priced asset, they’ll need the funds to bluster their team and make it more stronger. They would've had sold him this January but Salah is a very important player currently, especially now their journey to winning the EPL title is gradually becoming a reality.

 Liverpool would make alot of money from Salah sale, which is enough to strengthen their squad and add good quality players that could help them challenge for not only the EPL title but for the Champions League next season. Liverpool fans would really be sad to see Salah leave the club cause he's been very helpful and one of the fans favorites but the board don't got no choice but to cash in big on him buy summer.

I tried to find the latest information regarding Neymar, especially as you said that Al Hilal was very angry with Neymar who never played anything else. unfortunately, I didn't get the information I needed. as far as I know, no player wants to suffer a prolonged injury like what happened to Neymar. after all, Neymar was injured while defending his Brazilian national team. so, what happened to Neymat was out of scenario. referring to past news sources, according to Saudi Arabian media, Arriyadiyah, Al Hilal will have Neymar back in its squad next season.  However, Al Hilal will remove the Brazilian star from the list to bring in other non-Saudi players. regulations state, that each league team can only have eight foreign players in the squad. it is very clear that Neymar will return next summer. even if there is other news, unfortunately I couldn't find it even though I tried looking for it in several searches. referring to transfermarkt, Neymar is still an Al Hilal player.

In fact, even without Neymar, Al Hilal is still very difficult for Ronaldo and his team Al Nassr to compete with. Al Hilal couldn't use Neymar's services much this season, but they still managed to maintain a safe distance from their rivals, Al Nassr. even though Neymar was absent for a long time, Al Hilal performed well because other stars were able to shine. Mitrovic was the player who shone the most on the front line with his 17 goals, and was only 3 goals behind Ronaldo. apart from that, Yassine Bono, Malcon, Milinkovic Savic, Ruben Neves and one of the local Al Dawsari players, could also be the backbone of the current Al Hilal team squad.

As for Benzema, I don't know exactly what the obstacles are in the Al Ittihad squad. however, it seems that Al Ittihad needs several newcomers, especially those who are able to support Benzema on the front lines. likewise with Al-Ahli, even though they are in 3rd place in the standings, the fact is that Firmino has not been able to show his capacity so far. currently, the Saudi Pro League competition is in a pause phase. and this is good for the teams competing in this League, to carry out evaluations.
Al Hilal got Neymar and Mitrovic because they trust their partnership and they needed both of their strengths to be able to surpass other clubs in the league. It’s unfortunate that Neymar got out due to injury and It’s a pity it turns out to be long termed. Both Benzema and Firmino haven’t been able to get their grounds yet but I think if their respective teams get some good signings from Europe to help on the strikers this will be a boost for the players and the team and make the SPL more competitive.

 Now he’ll have to be taken off the squad list so that the Saudi club can bring in a foreign player who’ll strengthen their attack for the 2nd half of the season. It’s so crazy that even without Neymar’s presence Al Nassr haven’t been able to catch up with them yet. Mitrovic has stood out and other European stars also making this team a class team.

1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 03, 2024, 07:26:19 PM
I think football doesn't talk about luck because if that were the case then there wouldn't be a need for a solid team and a coach who could work well in managing the team. PSG lacked morale in the collective sector of players and coaches previously, so even though they had several world-class players, it did not make them favorites to win, especially in the Champions League. Luis Enrique could be a revival for PSG, but management must give him a lot of time because building an ideal and solid squad is not easy and it is unlikely that this can be achieved in the near future.

Talking about the domestic league is not interesting, especially in Ligue 1 because there is no adequate rival for PSG and this is not a matter of Ligue 1 not being competitive. But compared to other leagues, perhaps this league is quite boring because PSG have dominated for so long without any other team being able to match them.
Luck doesn’t bring victory but you’ve got to work your ass out and be champions. You don’t need just world class players and think that’s all. PSG have some top stars both as coaches and as players and yet they seem not to do well in the UCL and that’s pretty crazy. Are the players playing differently than they do when they’re at the national side or are theu just too relaxed.

 Well I also think the lack of competition in the league still shows on their performance in Europe. So there’s no room for improvement as they keep dominating and don’t feel the urge to do more and that affects the way they play in Europe. But if Enrique could help them change that mentality, if he could help them understand that they don't have settle only for their domestic league title then I believe things could get better and their performance in the UCL could change.

Is true that they're good at messing up and for Arteta to be in this position he is at the table only means they have lost so many points and chances which isn't healthy for the club, if this continues it will only be when the fans start shouting for Arteta to be fired. If Arsenal mistakenly win the league I'd just say it's luck because they haven't shown any sign of improvement from last season, is like they're repeating same mistake and wishing to win the title.
As it is, City are topping the league that's if you add up those outstanding games (the points) which to me they'll win it, you know that Liverpool and the others have no chance of bringing the Citizens down, so is best for this Arsenal team to start hoping for other teams who are competing for the title to lose while they win their games.
Arsenal are just a heavy joke in England because why trying to prove your weight if you can’t keep up with the fierce competition up till the very end. I think Arteta thinks he still got time with the fans to get things done.The fans are tired of the whole trial and error method used by Arteta and if they go trophyless they’ll start calling for his sack. Now Arsenal have probably let the title slip away by loosing 6 crucial points, and we can now say Citizens and Liverpool will battle all out for it.

 But will Liverpool be able to match the citizens who are now back in full shape, well time shall tell. I think Arteta’s work on this team can only help them maintain top 4 spot and not challenge for the league because they’re obviously out of the race, cause it’s obvious that they'll end up like last season, which is bottling the league, lol.

Look at the result from the previous match. The strikers have been getting a lot of complaints from the various parties about their indiscipline performance. It shall be taken as criticism to build the striker to be even better.
Arsenal seems need to buy another striker. Gabriel and nketiah are so wasteful and it's time for arsenal to sell a lot of them. Arsenal shall fix the problem as soon as possible or he will get nothing at the end of season. Im concerning about how the performance of arsenal was always decreasing a lot once it was entering at the middle - end of season. So this is the main concern that needs to be solved by arteta if arsenal was not that strong right now. Arteta needs to do something to save his club to keep in the right track for EPL competition.

This is the main problem tiat is very hard to be sorted out. You can't predict when your players will be declining a lot. Arteta shall have backup for this player caused by the decline of a key player will obviously affect the performance from the club.
Arteta needs to prepare some names to be recruited by the club.
Arsenal’s last season’s trouble is beginning to play out and this time it’s playing out so early and obvious. Yes, they made recruitments for the attacking position but none of those new recruits have been able to deliver. If Arsenal continues like this then I think they’ll bid an early goodbye out of the and may possibly slip out of UCL spot for next season. This Arsenal side is now looking shitty than last season and sincerely just one signing has proven his marks, Declan.

 Arsenal who are obviously low on cash will need to do some selling out so as to be able to buy in quality that they need to fix up their current situation. Because it’s precarious that they won’t be going home with any cup if they continue with this team’s shape going forward and it’s going to be bad for Arteta, except they do the necessary changes.

Yes that's right. Every club has almost the same chance of winning the Europa League title this season, indeed Liverpool is the favorite. However, the atmosphere of the domestic league is very different from the European league, in this competition it is not only the quality of the players that is tested but also the mentality of the players who are very dominant, especially since they have entered the European league. knockout. Of course, in every match you cannot make the slightest mistake, because the pressure of this competition will definitely be different. Strong clubs can lose if they make mistakes, let alone underestimate their opponents.

If they are not good in the domestic league, that is not a benchmark, just look at Sevilla last season, in the league they were down, but in the European league they were very solid so they could win. So in my opinion, becoming a European League champion is not seen from the quality of the players but rather how clever they are at playing a solid game, full of enthusiasm and having a winning mentality of course never giving up.
Any competition in Europe requires not just sweet playing pattern to win and that’s one distincts Liverpool from other teams in that competition. The vast experience of the Liverpool side as we’ve got majority of them involved in number of European successes especially the come back against Barcelona at Anfield which shook the world. This kind of experience is what champions deserve  and Liverpool team isn’t falling short of it.

 Endurance and how to avoid silly mistakes are one characteristics of winners and I think Liverpool have these characteristics more than any but we could see Leverkusen still trying to challenge as they got to the finals last season, well I think the battle for the finals might be amongst these two clubs well let's see how it goes.

Maybe most of what we see only focuses on Mbappe, even though Enrique actually plays a game of collectivity and teamwork. so far, in the PSG camp, Mbappe is the player who is truly an established player, especially as he is a goal bomber. even if Enrique relies more on him, it would be very natural because Mbappe is the one who has so far been the focus of the team. with the scenario, he can provide a lot of experience to other players, especially those on PSG's front lines. I think gradually, if Ramos and Kolo Muani are able to adapt quickly and reach a level in their game. these two players can be as dangerous as a sharp sticker to break into their opponent's goal.

Talking about winning trophies this season, I'm sure Luis Enrique is very aware of the squad he is currently coaching. in other words, PSG is not in the capacity to target the Champions League trophy. just imagine, when PSG play matches in the group phase, sometimes they have difficulty in away matches. I am also sure that his current team is not as ideal as he had hoped for. that's why, it seems that PSG will bring in several new arrivals this January. in other words, Enrique wants to patch up the weaknesses and shortcomings of his team. however, this team will not immediately become a strong team with instants. what is certain is that a process is needed and as a coach he is very aware of that. so, the task of Enrique and his squad is now to play as hard as possible as far as they can do it. or at least, PSG should be able to beat Real Sociedad in the round of 16. the rest, let them answer with the matches they play.
Enrique's approach to building PSG in the absence of Messi and Neymar was notable as they started off finely with beautiful results this season and week after week, they keep proving their supremacy over teams. They played with more confidence than imagined and they ensured that they didn't take any chance with the opposing sides.

 They've been able to build a solid form that'll give them an upper hand against teams and their victory is anticipated. Mbappe is in his best form for the team, so is Dembele and every other member of the squad. They can still be threats to other teams and they will be. They've got more weekly journey ahead of them and the UCL contests too, for the meantime, they'll strive to make the best use out of Mbappe to record good results pending summer when there may be big switches in the team.

In this season, if you differentiate between Besiktas and Antalyaspor, of course they will have very different playing qualities, Besiktas is far superior this season and Besiktas has managed to show competition quite well.
Antalyaspor will have difficulties and will definitely be full of pressure if they want to occupy one of the top 4 or 5 positions, whereas Besiktas itself has big chance of occupying 3rd place because the difference is very thin, namely 1 point.
Try to imagine what Antalyaspor would do if they wanted to occupy one of the top 5 positions while their difference was 5 points and the team occupying that position was really playing well.
Antalyaspor only hope is with Sergen Yalçın performance, if this new coach can work well there might be chance but we don't know yet whether Sergen Yalçın can carry the team he coaches in the near future.
At least Sergen Yalçın needs one season to be able to build Antalyaspor into much better place.
Besiktas is one team in the Turkish League that are to an extent doing well for themselves. Even though they don't get to have a spot in the UCL, they still try their best to earn a spot in the UEL  and while at that segment of the European tournament, they do their best to gain good results. They're currently 5th place on the standings with just a point differentiating them from the top 4, so if they work very hard they could secure a spot in the UCL next season.

 Besiktas being one of the top teams in the league still has the tendency of rising to a better stance. The team is set to make a positive turn around in the team and their game play will be improved too. We hope to see the new Besiktas a few days and weeks from now and see the difference they'd make, it's a good thing the January window is open so they've got alot of time to strengthen the team in case need be.

It looks like the Brazilian national team will still wait until Ancelotti's contract ends in 2026 and they certainly hope that the Italian tactician will want to manage the Brazilian national team in the future. Ancelotti is very familiar with his players and they feel comfortable under the direction of this experienced senior coach. Real Madrid still wants to win another title with Ancelotti and that is why management decided to extend his contract.

Each team management certainly wants the best for the continuation of their team's performance in each season and as much as possible to retain coaches who they feel can continue to improve the quality of the team. It is true that usually for other teams, information on rumors or whatever is always leaked to the media and this time Real Madrid is very secretive about Ancelotti's contract extension, giving rise to very surprising news, especially before Xabi Alonso was predicted to be the next coach if Ancelotti left.
Ancelloti today just extended his contract with the Spanish side. Real Madrid with Ancelloti is one team that have been in their perfect form this season. They know what they're after and they know how to get it. Without mincing, Ancelloti is the best coach so far. The fact that he's kept up with games even winning without a striker. His players versatility and coordination, the team spirit. He's put his squad in check and has made them a better side at every encounter.

 I don't think anyone expects less from them and definitely beyond all doubt, they've not disappointed any one. The level of confidence we have in them is enough sign to prove that they're currently the best team. Injuries or not, they just have a way to turn the game to their advantage and favour and their ability to be consistent at the wins is actually intriguing. The man has proven to be worthy to take on any team and he's everly ready to deliver food results for them. It's definitely an impressive feat for him and he's relentless in it

Even without the best squad, Milan could still win big with that landslide score and they officially advanced to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. Maybe it is true that Cagliari is not a weak team, but they do their best to defend themselves so they are not easily broken into. But unfortunately, even though Milan only has a squad, they can still destroy Cagliari easily and the difference in the level of players the two teams have is also quite different.

Now Milan is waiting for the results of the Atalanta vs Sassuolo match and whoever wins will be Milan's opponent in the quarterfinals. Of course Milan hopes to face Sassuolo because if not they will face a quite difficult opponent, namely Atalanta. Milan is quite optimistic in this competition and can at least win the Coppa Italia title this season.
Yesterday, Milan played host to Cagliari in the Copa Italia contest and they were able to secure a confident win which led to their advancement in the race. They didn't have as more stable squad as expected but they really were astonishing in the game. The goal margin was tangible and the game ended the way most people predicted that it would.

 Tonight their opponent will be decided from the outcome of the game between Atalanta and Sausuolo. Atalanta are already a goal ahead in the game, they're the host and so they've got the upper hand. Though not denying the fact that their visitors are a strong side who can put up a serious contest too. Let's wait for the final result before concluding. But whoever the winner will be, Milan will have to prepare hard ahead of the next fixture because it won't be an easy tussle considering the current nature of the team.

I don’t really know, but I think Premier League is tougher than any other competition currently. I don’t know if there will be any other league that will be tougher the way Premier League always is. So players playing in the premier league competition have already concurred with the tough league, so any other completion will be easy for them to play since they will even meet teams that are not strong like the teams they may meet in the premier league competition. However, there are some other teams that you will see that are strong and perform well in the premier league, but when they come to other competitions, they don’t really do well, so I think when a player that is in the premier league meets with those teams, everything becomes easy for them.
 
The Bundesliga, I think, is not as tough as the Premier League, and that’s why players from there find it difficult to adapt to the competition. You know, we have different players with different patterns of playing excellent games in the Premier League competition, whereas most of the players from the Bundesliga find it difficult to adapt for the first time until they continue playing there, and that’s when they later get used to it. And I think that’s what happened with Halaand too. The first time he came, he was finding it difficult because the play was different from the one he used to. He came and met players who could do more than he could.
The performance of smaller teams this season will continually shock everyone because one wouldn't have believed if told before now that Newcastle would be in the Champions league, and say more and more of the recent performances of Fulham and others. These teas have taken advantage of the situation the wild teams have found themselves, in terms of competitions being played which causes less resting times, plus the team's defaults in their physical structure and player's efforts in converting goal chances to victories.

 A whole lot has changed in football, The EPL which was tough has become even tougher, La Liga just started getting competitive. It's amazing that the smaller teams are making wave and causing football to be more fun than it used to be.
Gone are the days that football in these leagues were one team focused, now all teams have to be watched closely because no one knows where his defeat would lie.
