You are right, individually Mbappe is a great player, but in football what is needed is team play and not just focusing on one player. Indeed, the presence of an above-average player would be an advantage for a club, but it should not lose sight of what it should be, which is team play. When they still have 3 star players they still can't do anything at the European level, it proves the presence of star players does not guarantee success for a club.
They can still be a giant club without star players, with a note that they must have evenly distributed players on each line who can work together with good chemistry. I personally if faced with 2 choices between having their squad with good team play and a squad that has several star players, I would prefer to have an evenly distributed squad that can play good cooperation.

I think bringing in players on loan or short-term contracts at least until this season ends is one option that can be done, the article to find players intended for the long term will be more difficult because it needs to be careful in seeing the potential of the player. I also heard he wanted Varane to be part of Real Madrid again to cover the defensive shortcomings. And if you look at Varane's current age it is more appropriate for him to get a short-term contract or at least be borrowed from Manchester United.
Real Madrid are currently transitioning to regenerate their players and for now it is going quite well. By combining senior players and young players it is a very wise decision taken by Real Madrid.

Xabi has caught the attention of many with his impressive performances at the helm of Leverkusen, he can showcase the strategies that can bring his club to the fore at the moment. In the Bundesliga they have been impressive, and in the Europa League, they have been the same, in fact, they are probably the only unbeaten club in two different competitions, the Bundesliga and the Europa League.
I am sure he will be a coach that big clubs will fight for, even recently he was rumored to be close to Real Madrid before Ancelotti was confirmed to have made a new contract with Real Madrid.
If he can bring Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga or the Europa League, his name will be even more fragrant and he will get a lot of praise from many people. Yes, I think he deserves it as an appreciation for what he has shown.

Honestly, although Manchester United will act as the host, but I doubt they will be able to provide something that will satisfy their own supporters, so Tottenham is very likely to record another victory in this match. Currently Tottenham continues to overshadow 5th place and they are waiting for the moment to return to the top 4, so they must maximize this match by winning 3 points.
Manchester United themselves have just suffered a defeat in the previous week and recorded they have pocketed 3 defeats from the last 5 matches they played. I'm not sure about Erik Ten Hag in this match, I'm not underestimating him but with the record he got during this season makes doubts about him grow again.

Honestly I don't know what exactly is the purpose of the OP looking for someone to fund, if we look from the other side you said that you know how to trade and have funds to trade and that means why not do it yourself my friend? because obviously by doing it yourself all the decisions are in your hands and maybe you have a much better planning and risk management than other people who are not clear whether they have better skills and knowledge than you or not and with that then at least you can minimize the amount of loss, be careful because there are not a few cases that occur in scenarios like this, many say that they seem experienced but in the end disappear and carry some funding money.

I don't know what the purpose is but it seems like you are looking for traders who are much better than you, like riding on other people's knowledge and skills to benefit from percentage sharing when you yourself can do it and don't need to share profits with others when everything goes well, and obviously I think there is an element of suspicion in this even though it is still just speculation. So the bottom line in my opinion is that if you really have good enough skills and have the strength in terms of finance then it is better to do it yourself, it is not easy to get a partner who can really be trusted.

Yes "common sense" I mean those who come with a rational mindset, but most of those who come are like you said, many new players who come with the aim of looking for big profits, I don't know what reasons they bring but what is certain is that in my opinion they come because they have seen some information from other people who have managed to get a big win, whether it's one of their friends or maybe a show on one of the social media so that their main focus is only on winning by ignoring the risk of losing which is clear in fact the percentage is much greater.

Exactly, gambling is a gamble which is nothing more than a game of probability about winning and losing, but unfortunately as the topic at the beginning that people, especially beginners, are more focused on winning because that is more prominent in gambling when people show off their winnings which can indirectly motivate others, instead of getting income for living needs but what happens instead is 180 degrees as you said, suffering the number of defeats is a sure thing.

I think lately online gambling has become more and more widespread and like it has become common, or maybe some people who are usually involved in physical casinos switch to online casinos because of the ease of access anywhere and anytime, in my own neighborhood it's the same as yours where almost all gamblers are more often involved in online casinos via cellphones, And even though they for example do not admit that they lost a lot of money but honestly from a distance we can already see the suffering, there is one of my neighbors who even ran out of all his assets, from selling vehicles to selling land just to pay debts, even though he never published it but most of the neighbors already know because they see his life now and as you said that they are one of the gamblers who do not have any management.

And we can conclude that people who have the possibility or potential to lose a lot of money are those rich people who cannot maintain their gambling involvement properly so that it is clear to lose a lot of money that can even make them bankrupt, yes that's right it is not uncommon to also see some of them who act excessively with the excuse of looking for more fun haha obviously absurd and what is certain is that victory is their main focus so that they act excessively. The inability to accept the real facts (defeat) caused by not understanding the basic concepts that exist in gambling makes them instead act out of control by always chasing wins to break even, will it work? maybe it can, but it is very unlikely and more cannot stand all the pressure that is there so it is not uncommon to see some of the gamblers who end up stressed or depressed.

So from the discussion that we have discussed here, to be honest, in my opinion, the conclusion is that rich, middle class or poor cannot be used as a benchmark for who wins more and who loses more, and the point is that if you overdo it then obviously you will lose more and if you are able to maintain your gambling by always applying self-control and limits as you mentioned then obviously the amount of risk will be slightly minimized.

Yes of course that's better, on the other hand as we know that in general the public's view on gambling is very negative and with that then obviously it is possible that maybe people in your neighborhood who don't know anything about gambling will assume that you have a bad personality by getting involved in gambling, and obviously usually the talk of the community will spread very quickly so it is very likely that you will be seen as an outcast or not cared for by the people around or even considered as a person who has the potential to fall into financial problems.

So of course I also have the same habits as you, we are both gamblers and I also always keep my gambling activities secret from others except for one of my friends who is also a gambler. I think basically even if you don't harm others for example by asking others for money to gamble but still they will have a bad point of view on you if you deliberately publicize your gambling activities. Therefore, it is obviously better to keep your gambling activities private, but also to remain firm on your control and limits because that will be able to keep us from falling into financial problems later, and just for fun and to fill the time.

Yes, there's no denying it and it's possible that what you're saying is true, I understand what you mean about gamblers having extensive knowledge in several games, honestly for that matter I might agree because the more you play the more you will be able to adapt to the game, but honestly it's nothing more than a  basic thing that if everyone does the same thing then they will also have such knowledge, it's not at all related to the name "increasing luck/winning", if you say that they can make good predictions then I would ask what do you mean by "good"? the assumption from your statement is a little bit of a certainty about the end result.

For myself, I honestly prefer  to gamble on my own merits, no matter how many winners there are out there, so I'm going to stick to my stance and understanding that gambling is just an activity to fill my empty time at the weekend that will trigger a little adrenaline, not focus on the final result and only focus on the limits that I have made before.

I don't think it's stupid, because it's legitimate to predict that, as I said before. What's stupid is when we say with certainty they will face each other in the final.
Of course anything can happen here, because we can't underestimate other clubs, it could be that a club that is not part of our prediction will make the club we predicted eliminated early.
Last season many people predicted that Arsenal would be in the final, yes it was not wrong because their appearance at the beginning was so promising before finally they also lost and were eliminated early.
We also predict things based on the statistics that the club is currently showing and that's pretty basic, regardless of whether they are eliminated or not that we can only see when they play their matches.

It's nothing new that Paris Saint Germain show inconsistency, even when they still have a Neymar and Messi they often show it, especially in the Champions League. I emphasize more in the Champions League, because in Ligue 1 even though they are inconsistent the fact is that no one can shift them, but if in the Champions League they are inconsistent then they will not be able to do anything.
The transition of players will take longer, I agree with that. But we also have to see the progress whether it shows a hope or not, because if we say it takes time but there is no progress that can be shown it will be a futile wait.
They have the money, but they haven't been able to use it in a way that would allow them to compete in the Champions League.

Napoli and Barcelona will also be an interesting match in this round of 16, yes both clubs have a chance to beat each other. Both also still have problems that have not been resolved until now.
Xavi is pressured to bring Barcelona to the title this season, otherwise management threatens to fire him, regardless of whether it is a bluff or not, Xavi will show that he can bring Barcelona to compete. But I am personally a little pessimistic about them in the Champions League this season, because I see there are clubs that are better prepared than them. I don't have to mention which club because surely we can all see which club is better prepared than them.
Maybe they will be able to qualify and move on to the next round by eliminating Napoli in this round, and maybe they will be eliminated.

I don't think this can be attributed to one another, because many coaches who are also former players cannot become great coaches, but indeed their experience as players can absorb what they learned during their time as players and they can adopt it and apply it when they become coaches.
Jose Mourinho is the most interesting for me, because he started out as a translator and from there he was able to start his coaching career and he is also very extraordinary. I think it's the same as a player, coaches have to have talent or they have to work hard. Because it's not easy to think of something that other people have to implement, and sometimes what the players expect can't be carried out very well.
I don't think it should be a problem, because what we see is not whether they are former players or not, but what we see is what he can show as a coach.

Yes you are right, predicting who will be the champion is easier than predicting who will be relegated to Serie B. For now there are practically only 2 clubs that have a great chance of becoming champions, Inter Milan and Juventus, because the other clubs are quite far away. While at the bottom, now their points are quite tight and that can change in just 1 match. Cagliari are in the relegation zone, but they have the same points as Verona who are one level from the red zone position. Sassuolo are also only 2 points away from them and ranked next is Udinese and followed by Frosinone.
With such a tight position, everything is very possible, all clubs in that position are really not safe and will not be comfortable because they have the opportunity to be displaced by the club below them.

It wasn't that easy, as Aleksandar Mitrovic also kept up with Ronaldo's goals. He is currently right behind Ronaldo with 17 goals and one more thing he is at a club where his chances of scoring more goals are greater too. But when it comes to Ronaldo's ability to score goals at his age, I applaud him. Because it is not easy for an old player to do well.
It's interesting to see that he's getting older but there's no significant decline apart from his speed dropping. Al Nassr is very lucky to have him, even at his old age he can still make a big contribution to the club. And not just to the club but to the SPL itself, because it cannot be denied that the arrival of many top players to this league is one of them because Ronaldo paved the way for them to be more interested in playing in the SPL.

Their game is good to watch, although there are still weaknesses in their defense, but for now they can still cover it because they have a good and effective attack line. If only they had a solid defense, then they really are a club that will be difficult to beat. They have beaten 2 big clubs in La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they just couldn't do much against Real Madrid.
This victory continues to make them able to stick to Real Madrid with no gap in points, because they both collect 48 points. I hope they can continue to play like this until the end of the season, and of course they have to make their defense even more solid so that they cannot be penetrated easily by the opponent's attack line. They can take advantage of the transfer market to make their defense even better.

The midfield is the lifeblood of a team's game, they have a huge impact, if the midfield doesn't play well, then the impact will be felt in all positions. Even if a club's defense and attack are good, if it is not supported by a strong midfield it can fall apart.
Especially now that the style is more about foot-to-foot play, the distance between players will be an important factor. The midfield is like a bridge between the back line and the front line, if they fail to be the link between those positions, then I can say they will fail.
They also need to have quick rotation, I mean when they are attacked and then counter-attacked then the rotation has to be quick, and vice versa. Right now a lot of the midfielders are also getting a lot of attention, because their absence is very noticeable for the squad that is playing.

Finding the right club to utilize his abilities to the fullest is not an easy job and we don't know which club is suitable for him. He failed to give his best when he was at Chelsea and that illustrates that it is not easy to find the right club for a player with his characteristics.
I also think that Serie A is more suitable for him, he could perform well when he was with Inter Milan, and now when with AS Roma his performance did not disappoint, and we must have answers when comparing between when he was at Chelsea and now.
Indeed, one of the reasons why he failed at Chelsea was because he was injured at the time, but when he returned from injury the fact is that there was no significant change that he could show at that time. It is possible that the style of play in the Premier League does not really suit him, especially if he is not in a club that can help him well.

Yes, we must first wait for the Europa League to resume after completing the grueling group stages. I think speculation about surprises is valid as long as you don't say for sure things that haven't been played yet. Now many people also expect Leverkusen and Liverpool to face each other in the final, it's just an expectation based on their performances during the Europa League, especially in the group stages.
We will still have the play offs before the last 16 is played, and the play offs are also likely to be a surprise. There are still many big clubs that will play there, and not to forget there are some clubs from the Champions League that will also play there. From the Champions League itself there are several clubs that are superior like AC Milan that we cannot forget.

Yes it is true, but on the other hand lately I see more people who suffer a lot of losses than those who have full responsibility and also with the right understanding, most of a person's point of view on gambling is a "earning place" mindset that usually happens when they manage to get their first win which makes them get an extraordinary sensation which also of course ends up thinking of using gambling for income, obviously that is the wrong mindset but one of the reasons why I said the previous thing is because more gamblers are come with  a wrong mindset and point of view compared to those who come using common sense.

But as you said, if we use a small  budget or means that we can be responsible for whatever the results are then yes I will agree that if we lose it won't make us regret or upset, but sometimes it can't be denied that there are also those who feel a little annoyed.
