Cristiano Ronaldo always performs well in any team and even when defending his country (Portugal) Cristiano Ronaldo is always good and always scores goals and when he appeared against Al-Taawon he was also very good, even though in yesterday's match there was an opportunity that he couldn't take advantage of. but of course he can cover up his failures through the goals he scores.
Realistically, it should be Aleksandar Mitrovic who holds the highest top score because Al-Hilal is the best and strongest team at the moment, but yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed a great player so it's not surprising even though Al-Nassr is in 2nd he currently holds the highest score. by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Al-Hilal is the strongest team currently in the SPL and I am sure that if Neymar plays and is not injured, I think Al-Hilal will definitely be even stronger, of course we will not know whether Al-Hilal will always be consistent. win or not, but what is clear is that I think Al-hilal has the potential to continue winning.
Yes, of course Al-Nassr's opportunities are very wide open and of course if Al-Hilal is not consistent in winning then Al-Nassr's points definitely have the potential to surpass Al-Hilal as long as Al-Nassr is consistent. win.
I can't wait to see Al-Nassr play again but unfortunately the time is still far away so I will wait patiently.
CR7 who has being on football spotlight for more than a decade and still on the spotlight. One thing that can be attributed to him are goals, he hits on goals for any club he’s signed to and when we thought he was all done, we’re having him heading the Goal scoring chart of the SPL and the highest goal scorer in 2023 calendar year. CR7’s workrate will give his counterpart Mitrovic headaches especially the way he manages to net in every match; this is one thing of worry for them. Al-Hilal. Who sits pretty top of the log might be having issues with Al-Nassr who doesn’t seem to stop the chase anytime soon. Now Al-Hilal is without Neymar and that’s one factor that reduces my confidence in this team, I’m scared they might falter at some points and let Al-Nassr take the title and that will be a win for CR7 and his fans as he’ll now be able to have won every league he’s played in. Al-Nassr are a delight to watch and it’s quite unfortunate we’ll have to wait a little while and Trust them to give us the fun when next they play and trust Ronaldo to get the spotlight. |

It is difficult for Xavi to bring in new players, while Barcelona finances are very bad, currently they can only wait for free players from the transfer market and can free players really be relied on for their skills? sometimes they are even old, like some of the Barcelona players who were brought in for free at that time.
I dont doubt the performance or skill of free players but wouldn't it be better to bring in players at a price that isn't too high who can make a good contribution to the team to be able to strengthen the defense or attack line for the team but back to finances Barcelona can't bring in quality players like us expect.
maybe if this season Barcelona can't win the La Liga title I will understand because the condition of this team is really in a bad condition and this is a difficult burden for Xavi to be able to try to reach the top of the standings with the existing players and these injured players maybe not before. It is expected, but injury can happen at any time if you cannot maintain your physical condition. but I hope that there are big investors who invest in Barcelona to get quality players.
.
Barcelona are in a dire situation and it’s quite unfortunate that Xavi is caught up in the midst of this. He wouldn’t be able to make the key signings he wants and with this current squad, he’s not achieving his best as he wants and that can be quite demoralizing for a team that won the league the previous season, well apart from financial crisis they also got hit my injury crisis which has been a big setback for them this season. His hopes is in probably free signings or low amount signings which most times doesn’t prove to be effective and it’s quite crazy. Well he could try to free up some players and that way get some money for himself to make a key and major signing. With this squad, I don’t think Barcelona will be coming close to winning any trophy this season as even Girona is one team that’s not joking too in the La Liga and moreover there’s still an Atletico who can hit on them hard. |

Differentiating Real Madrid from other teams can clearly see how much difference there is and indeed Ancelotti has become very good coach for Real Madrid because he knows how to use all his players well when there is an injury crisis.
I have not seen great coach like Ancelotti who can really bring Real Madrid to good condition at any time, no matter what problems they face, they are still very strong team.
But I think the figure of Xabi Alonso who is currently bringing Leverkusen to excellent performance will be able to become great coach like Ancelotti, he is still young and of course he can gain more experience and intelligence in building football team.
Just look at how much talk there has been about Xabi Alonso this season, he will be one of the best coaches of all time if he continues to work well.
Xabi is able to educate and direct all his players to play carefully but still have playing quality that cannot be underestimated.
I know that talking about Leverkusen becoming champions seems premature, but we all need to realize that Leverkusen development is thanks to Xabi hard work as coach and developing all the qualities of his players.
Real Madrid is standing off many top clubs across Europe even Manchester City who are European Champions. This is because, Real Madrid have tried to contain their injury crisis and still maintain winning streaks and that’s one quality of a good team and we must not fail to recognize Head Coach, Ancelotti. This man is good and he’s got vast experience that I’m not sure any coach across Europe and beyond will be able to match. One reason why he was given a new contract, and I believe he’ll win trophies for the team before his time out. Xabi Alonso too is one sweet coach that if he calms down and learn from the best, he’ll be able to achieve and probably Some great coaches experience. He would achieve something with this his groomed Leverkusen side this season and would challenge for more and I believe will get more and become better. I see his coaching a top flight European team sooner or later. |

after reading the long article you wrote, I found several words that were a little doubtful whether Mbappe really refused to go to Real Madrid in january??
If it true, I would say congratulations to Mbappe for losing the opportunity to win the UCL title with another team and preferring to prioritize a big salary.
TBH, I dont know the contents of the pre contract offer with Mbappe and I dont know the amount of the offer given, but in my opinion, Mbappe stayed at PSG not to win something or a title, but he thought about a big salary and wanted to get a big salary before leaving PSG. let's look at the transfer market last season, when Madrid made an offer to Mbappe, it actually created drama with PSG, even though the drama was just to cover up that he didn't want to leave PSG because of the big salary.
I am a little sorry if Mbappe doesn't accept the offer, instead choosing to stay at PSG like a star player who isn't in the right team and I'm not sure whether in the next transfer market Real Madrid will want to make another offer because this is the last chance for Mbappe.
I dont know what this player is planning but it seems like he is too comfortable with all the facilities provided by PSG but is not guaranteed a bright future because he always fails to win prestigious titles in other competitions.
Mbappe rejected Real Madrid in January well I can’t say this is crazy especially as then man was young and needed that spotlight and the money too. Though his bad decision then is now haunting and probably that could be bye bye to his dreams of playing at the Bernabeu. PSG have the money and could offer him a sweet contract that’ll be mouth watering. But will the general team be composed to compete for titles to at least lay hands on the UCL because there league is a farmer’s league and they’ll keep succeeding there. Mbappe too could have other plans in mind and probably a move to Anfield could also be on his radar and he could make it happen. Well let’s see what the January market holds for us football frenzies. However I still think the possibility of him moving to Madrid is not over yet and he could still get his chance by summer. Moreover moving to Madrid is more better then his present club nor a move to Liverpool. |

Juventus rarely disappoints their fans when Juventus plays as host. Even though Juventus actually has limited players. But in fact Juventus is a club that has been quite consistent to date. The difference in points with Inter Milan is very narrow. And yes, the opportunity for Juventus is still wide enough to win the title this season. Juventus just needs to continue to consistently achieve 3 points and wait for Inter Milan to lose points.
In the next match, Juventus actually has quite an easy opponent. Because in the next match Juventus will face Salernitana, who have actually played very inconsistently this season. And even currently Salernitana is ranked at the bottom of the standings.
But the problem is that Salernitana has recently started to recover and show improvement in their performance. Yesterday they managed to beat Verona and the previous week Milan were only able to share points against Salernitana. Maybe Juventus shouldn't underestimate Salernitana. Because unexpected results could occur in this match. But I don't think Juventus is the type of team that underestimates its opponents. So in the next match I think Juventus will win 3 points again.
Did I hear you say Juventus really disappointed their fans? No I don't think, they might not be at the top of the table but being in 2nd place, is enough to put a smile on the faces of their fans and mind you they not lost in their last two matches, they won José Mourinho's Roma and went ahead to beat Frosinone away from home, that's an impressive one cause it's kept them in second place with just 2 points behind the league leaders Inter Milan and any slight mistake from Inter would give Juve a big advantage to lead the table. In their next match they'll be facing Salernitana and I think that should be a walkover for them cause they'll be playing a team that are at the very bottom of the table and are very poor in performance, Salernitana have only won twice with about ten losses and 12 points which is very poor, if they even get a draw against Salernitana then the fans have every right to be disappointed at them afterwards. |

I don't think Bayern Munich needs to be too hasty in making an offer for Joshua Kimmich to keep him because his performance has not been that impressive this season.
Instead of spending more money on Joshua Kimmich, it is better to look for other player options that are much better, as was the case when Bayern Munich took Kane, who was clearly able to play well straight away and make big contribution with the several goals and assists he created.
If Barcelona really wants Joshua Kimmich then it not big problem for Bayern Munich and of course there are still some great players out there who of course want to play with Bayern Munich because they are also strong and have the potential to win titles every season.
It is also reported that Manchester United will be hunting for players in the midfielder position and if this is true then the fight to get Joshua Kimmich depends on how many offers are made by Barcelona and Manchester United.
However, I still think that spending an excessive amount of money just to be able to have Joshua Kimmich figure is decision that must be considered.
Well if Bayern Munich are still considering to renew Joshua Kimmich's contract it may mean that he's still important to their squad and has a role to play, maybe they're keeping him based on his experience and influence to the younger player else they would've place him on a transfer, however signing a player that could deliver quick results is still very important and I think they should still con sider making a move again for Fulham's Joao Palhinha cause he controls the midfield very well and performs better than Kimmich. If United thinks bringing Kimmich to their squad would benefit them, then they could be making a worst mistake than Amràbat, it would be better if they could go for a better and younger player instead maybe some like Kobbie Maino with much better experience would do, going for Palhinha as well won't be a bad idea, and it would be a little easier since he's still in the EPL. |

Arsenal vs small EPL teams, Disappointed.... again
The fans wish the best for the club, but the team is letting fans down.
Declan Rice can't carry this team on his shoulders when we have passenger in Harvertz who is only visible when things go out way.
65M on Harvetz could have been used to get a good striker for Arsenal
Make the right signings immediately after the window opens. Don't waste time.
This game have cost a lot of bettors their bet, cause who would belive that a team like Arsenal would lose to Fulham,despite the fact that they were the visiting team, they were more favorites based on squad depth and form but Arsenal disappointed the 2nd consecutive time even with the little odd they were given to win Fulham, what suprise me most was that they scored first and allowed Fulham to get an equalizer and they a come back. I think Arteta would be so furious with his players, cause losing 3 points would cause them to drop on the standings. On the hands this is a big win for Fulham on winning one of the strongest and top 4 team, they not only made their coach proud but their fans would be so happy on winning Arsenal on the last day of 2023. I wonder how Arsenal would win the league if they continue with this poor performance they have to sit up so what happened the precious season won't repeat itself. I think Arteta needs to act fast and find the loopholes, before it's too late. |

Probably the best in serie a, it's rarely conceding the ball unlike intermilan. The only problem is still remain unsolved its the attackers. Juventus didn't have good attackers right now, and this is the problem owned by juventus. To be honest, i actually though i was going to see a messed up formation from allegri but i was wrong. Even though juventus played safely but it's still able to winning the game against roma which has been proving if juventus is good. People are praising how juventus has very strong defenders and yeah it becomes the key owned by juventus to win the trophy.
Allegri got the job done pretty well against roma. Roma was not weak but juventus is always able preventing it from attacking the goal keeper. Juventus is not the same as last season but there is a slight improvement that is happening with the club. Allegri has been also praising his club for the won against roma which is one of strongest club in the serie a
Glad to see that vlahovic is feeling even more confidence with his performance in the club. I can't wait another action to come from him soon.
Juventus have really improved than last season and yes they’re not so sharp up there in the attack but they are composed defensively. And you know what they say, defense is the best form of attack.They concede less and also try to score at least one or two and get all 3 points and that’s one big way to win te league. As it stands, they’re are a better option than Inter who seem shaky since Lautaro’s injury. Allegiri is one coach that knows how to manage his team to victory and brings out the confidence in his players and we can see that in vlahovic. I feel he’ll improve in coming days and start getting the goals Juventus needs to keep maintaining top spot, if not they'll be forced to take advantage of the upcoming window and get another striker as backup,nevertheless I trust Juve to maintain their position in the top 4. |

And with the two games yesterday: Braga 3 x 1 Casa Pia Portimonense 1 x 2 SportingI managed to win my multiple bet and will end the year with a winning bet and a profit hehe, very good for my bankroll to start well in 2024  Not many surprises or difficulties for both teams But there's a new round in five days, with a possibly difficult game for Braga The other top three should win, but I'll think about my bet Braga yesterday and before yesterday have been a good team, though they've incurred some losses but they earned 3points fairly yesterday. They were a better side and they were also the hosts too. Their game play worked well in their favor. Sadly they weren't able to keep a clean sheet but they surely were able to maintain the lead till the last minute. It shows how tough and strong they're in their league. For Sporting, they also had their share of 3 points, still no clean sheets but a big away from home win. The results gave these two teams a push on the table and still keeps them in the right spot on their league race. Subsequent games won't really be easy, so the confidence this game result ensued should be used at their disposal. There's definitely still a change and improvement to be effected by these teams. |

Transfers to be made in January transfer window could be effective enough to change the fate of the Champions League winner maybe. I can't imagine what would happen in case of seeing Real Madrid's signing a deal with Mbappe. However even if this happens he wouldn't join the team right away of course. They would need to wait for him until the end of the season unless they buy his clause to bring him immediately. However truthfully I don't expect Real Madrid to sign him in January because probably he would like to wait for the end of the season to make his decision on his future.  I expect PSG to be eliminated early again which would make things really difficult for convincing Mbappe to stay. It's very much certain and has been on record that some changes made in squads during the January transfer has either positive or negative effect on the team's European contest performances. This season won't be an exemption. There are a number of transfers to be done this season and it's definitely going to bring expected changes to teams too. Mbappe is a good player, he's doing good for PSG but he's feeling the need to leave the team but doesn't know when, he's got teams in mind too but they also may not need him to join them yet. Even though there are still some others questing for him but they only have to be able to meet his terms of contract too. Real Madrid would have definitely worked well for him as they're currently in their highest performance range but we'd find out and conclude on all these rumors in a few days. |

Based on my personal point of view, Lewandowski will still be heavily relied on by Barcelona or Xavi. why, yeah because after all Barcelona still needs his services as a center forward in their squad. at least, before they get an ideal replacement in the front line. in other words, Lewa will remain the main option, especially if he doesn't experience any problems, especially those related to injury. Lewandowski's presence is very crucial, especially this season. not only how he has to score goals as his job as a pure striker, but precisely because his stability will be very helpful for Barcelona's young players, like Gavi or Pedri who are often given instructions by Lewandowski when setting strategies, even though he is no longer young, in fact he has entered the age of 35. however, if Xavi is able to maximize his patterns, systems and strategies, Barcelona should now be a competitive team. unfortunately, because they experienced a storm of injuries, Barcelona was unable to appear consistently in every match. plus, Barcelona's defense line has really experienced a decline in performance unlike last season. however, we agree that the age factor cannot be avoided by any great player and Lewandowski is no exception. however, at least Lewan is still very useful for Barcelona. now the problem is with Xavi, how he has to find an effective formula for his squad when playing match after match. as for rumors of Lewandowski's departure, I actually haven't heard any news. it could be, because currently I don't really follow developments regarding rumors or gossip. but as far as I know, Lewandowski once made a statement that he wanted to end his career at Barcelona. whether Lewa will leave for another club or league, we'll see what the results will be.
Lewandowski is a great striker. He's still got the fuel in him to net in more goals. He's agile, skilful and his goal scoring abilities are at the peak. Although age is calling gradually but he's still got a bit of time in him to show his worth in the public and projected games too. Although like Ronaldo, even at the age he is, he still kept the zeal on. I don't think Lewandowski's case would be any different. Let him still use the ample of his time left to do exploits. He's got European cups and tournaments to journey through and in him, there's all that it'd take. Age is still favourable to him and he doesn't look like he'd slack in a few years to come, so for the mean time, he's got to enjoy his playing time before thinking of retiring back to the Arab league or quit football generally. But I don't think he'll retire completely he'll still want to continue, he'll probably move to the Arab League or join Messi at MLS. |

Next tomorrow January transfer window will open until one month later, still not late for PSG selling Kylian Mbappe on this transfer window but depend how to find teams will pay higher bid offer exactly many teams won't pay above 200 million due his contract expiry six months later. One month left before transfer window close is not easy raising agreement deal with team who interest for signing Mbappe include most expensive fee transfer. Real Madrid with their manager Carlo Ancelotti have confirmed not make any transfer or buy player on January window transfer and likely they will wait until Mbappe contract expiry.
Beside Real Madrid have Liverpool who interested for signing Mbappe, but one day left before transfer window opening not official bid offer yet from The Kop for negotiation to sign Mbappe.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is yet to be finalized so it's safe to tag it a rumour although we'd know how serious the rumor is in two days. His addition to the Spanish side won't be a bad idea though because he'd complement the coach's taste and style of play too and he will be an advantage too. His team mates will be as young, vibrant, skilful as he is and no doubt they'd become a team that stands out. Mbappe is a young player and he's still got enough exploits to perform. It won't be advisable for him to join SPL. Ancelloti knows the type of player he needs in his team and he knows how to push for the player. He's a wise and intelligent coach who knows how best to carve out his team based on his style. For now, he's said openly that there won't be additions or subtractions to his squad till the summer break and it's not a loss of hope for the French man as he's still got Liverpool questing for his skillset. So maybe, their offer will be considerable to him and he'd then turn to join the English side. |

Yes, maybe it is too early for us to speculate about where Cabi wants to go because this will be a long season for Cabi while he is at Leverkusen. Even if Leverkusen is successful in achieving achievements in the UEL and can maintain its position in first place in the points table, I am sure that Cabi will be in the next season. Very enthusiastic about moving to higher competition in the Champions League and will try to win a new history in the Champions League next season.
This season Leverkusen seems to have had great luck in being able to bring in a coach like him who has a strategy that is always right and can control all Leverkusen players to be able to perform solidly.
So linking Cabi with Real Madrid is no longer valid because Madrid already has the right choice.
In the upcoming match against Augsburg there will definitely be an opportunity for Leverkusen to get 3 points but we as bettors please be careful before betting because it could end in a draw.
But what is certain is that Leverkusen is trying not to lose points and provide a large gap to Bayern Munich.
Well I think Xabi Alonso has made his marks at Leverkusen and it’s very excellent to bow out when the ovations are loudest. Yes he’s eyeing huge success at Leverkusen this season and it’s very possible. Yes, he has to face higher challenges but that’s not necessarily important if he wins the UEL this season and maybe the league; he can just go home and have a good rest and come back refreshed when he finds the perfect club. Yes, many European clubs wants him but the rumors were Madrid, unfortunately Don Carlo has been handed a 2 year contract and that already rules out the rumor of Xabi coming in. I feel he should rest a season and come back better and refreshed, maybe by then he'll be fully prepares and sure that he's ready to take the role of a manager in a top flight club, maybe his other previous club Liverpool or still Madrid in future. |

Juventus was in another level. Im concerning about how strong the defensive line is owned by juventus. It was always winning the game with cleansheet and it's likely juventus will take intermilan's position. Allegri is just starting to help club to go to the trophy.
I meant that roma is having touble on its defensive line caused by sometimes it was not connecting between one to each other. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by mourinho. That loses is also telling us the main weakness owned by roma this time.
Im not even feeling that if roma will be facing another trouble if it will not fix the problem as soon as possible. Feyenoord is a considerably strong opponent. This is why, even though it has poor performance in UCL but we shall not call that feyenoord as a weak team.
It's caused by roma was not even better compared to the slavia praha and this must be noted as the main point for mourinho to call back his players to train even harder than before.
The defensive line needs also to be trained even better. Im not saying it's bad but in fact that if roma is also having poor defenders. No doubt if juventus was winning the game. This can be evaluation for mourinho before his club is going to face feyenoord.
The toughest Series A encounter for the week ended in just a 1goal lead of Juventus over Roma. The two sides are known to be tough even though one may seem tougher and at a higher standing than the other but it was good that Roma ensured it wasn't more than 1 goal but bad because they could have tried harder to make it end in a draw. The result gave an extra 3 points to Juventus and left Roma still struggling to come up again. They both want to stay top and get tickets to the European contest. Juventus confidence is in check for subsequent games and for Roma, they've got extra work to do. They have to put in extra efforts. Juventus are in good shape and they're focused too, their Serie A race isn't seeming obstructed by European cups but Roma has two races to work towards. That's an extra task for them to round up successfully. we'll see how the next half of the season would be for these teams. |

Again, never underestimate your opponent even though arsenal is obviously far above compared to the fulham right now. Im only telling about the fact that if arsenal must always play carefully caused by it may lose a chance to compete for the title once arsenal will be doing bottle job again. So many fans are aware about the main problem owned by arsenal like this club lost its spirit when it comes to the end of season. We are still in the middle of season and no excuses for arsenalt o lose more points in this game. Three points are very important thing for arsenal, arteta needs to make sure his club will not be so wasteful like the previous match. Fulham is not looking strong right now and this is the chance owned by arsenal to win the game soon. Im expecting martinelli and gabriel to be starting line up. Fulham can become a threat for the big club in EPL.
Arsenal's performance was absolutely terrible in the previous match against westham. Im not expecting it to repeat the same mistake or arsenal may be slowly but surely out from the title race against liverpool.
We can also expect liverpool to lose some points soon and this is arsenal chance to make it happen. City was winning the previous game, and it's going even closer to us.
It likes you are in the race to get the title and you shall not fucked up yourself to be a trophyless team again. Im not happy with arteta done in the previous match
Fulham today will be playing at home to Arsenal. Well these two teams are good but Arsenal seems better. They're at the top of the table too and so they've got technically a higher probability of surfacing their host in the game even though Fulham may try to stay in the game and be meaningful too. Well Arsenal are already dominating the game and are leading by a goal in the first half of the game. Notwithstanding the capacity of Arsenal, Fulham can still turn things around and gain all 3points or maybe end it in a tie. The EPL is known for its unpredictability. No team should be looked down on because it'll all be decided on the pitch. Both teams want the 3 points. Arsenal wants to stay on top, Fulham has to protect their face of being the host and as well climb up on the table standings too. Let the better team win today. |

This is not right. They allowed Turkish flags and the national anthem, but not photos of Atatürk, the founder of the country. So, The Arab Football Federation applied the rules of the International Football Association.
Where are you from? I think you're Spanish. Do you remember going to a cup match wearing a shirt with Franco's picture on it? The Spanish teams will play their finals in Arabia for the next 6 years. Do you think they will play with shirts with Franco's picture on them? The answer to that question is of course no. Some things that are abnormal in the world are ordinary and mandatory in my country. That's why we face some problems in global organizations. Prince Salman is one of the dictators I hate the most, but the decision of the Arab Football Federation is right. Unfortunately, Arabs are more modern than us in this regard.
Somethings are not meant to be debated about because we’ve got to put the country forward in football and not the founder of the country. So why the sudden change is just like a country heading out and taking the picture of their Colonial Masters into the World Cup than their traditional national colour which has its meaning, it doesn't make any sense So I think the Footballing agency in charge there should help the football community effect the necessary changes rather than let a dictator takeover the affairs of football which have its own supreme body.Dictatorship is a no in football and would be fought against, there are some certain rules that's been laid and are bound to be kept, well I think the FIFA body needs to look into the issue and handle the situation properly, so as to let those dictators be guided. |

A difficult match for PSG in League 1 is when they play against clubs that challenge them at the start, but in the end the clubs that challenge PSG over time will start to lose when they have to compete with PSG, which has better squad depth when compared to other clubs. I don't think there is any club that can win throughout the season without losing because throughout the season there are long matches, especially PSG always has a busier schedule compared to other clubs in League 1 because PSG always competes in the Champions League every season.
Every league definitely has competitors, but sometimes every league has a club that always dominates the title, such as the Bundesliga which is dominated by Bayern Munich, La Liga which is dominated by Real Madrid, the Italian Serie A League which is dominated by Juventus, but it seems like only the Bundesliga and League 1 are dominated it's too boring compared to other leagues such as the English League, La Liga, Serie A League because there are many clubs that enjoy the title, making the league more competitive and exciting every season, while PSG League 1 has won the title in the last few seasons so it looks boring.
PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen. They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals. |

I liked how the Al-Nassr squad won the match. They enable players to score goals evenly. Which indicates there is no selfishness in the Al-Nassr squad. In this match, Talisca did not score a goal but he had an important role by making 1 assist. And C.Ronaldo really ended the year very brilliantly. Well that was C.Ronaldo's last goal at the end of the year. This player, who is no longer young, always amazes me with the stamina he has. Even though he is no longer young, he often plays full time. And it is quite impressive to see that C. Ronaldo can be more productive than the young players.
But the difference in points with Al-hilal is still the same and yes, it is very difficult to wait for Al-hilal to lose points this season. Because everyone definitely admits how strong Al-hilal's performance is currently. And Al-Nassr, which continues to trail in second place, is also quite good because Al-Nassr has also been able to maintain positive results to date. But if Al-Nassr fails then it will ensure that Al-hilal will indeed win the title this season.
Al Nassr is one big team in the SPL that when fixed for a game, they've got some quantuble high chance of being victorious. I'd say for all teams in that league, it's kind of like Al Hilal being the only team that may give Al Nassr a tough time. The others, yes, may be good in one little way or the other but Al Nassr just seems better off. Even though they've played and gained an extra 3points in their last game, they've still got a difference in the table standings with just a few points. There's still this confidence that they'd still be able to meet up and win the trophy this season. Although Al Hilal is not a team that should be joked with, they're a good side too as Al Nassr. Al Nassr shouldn't trade their chances and loose again as their toughest counterpart will seize such flaw as a tool to stay solid in the toppest position and it'll be difficult to correct the errors when it's late. |

That's why, because Porto is not an easy team to beat, Arteta will prepare his squad to play the match with very high performance. moreover, this match will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, the home of Porto. if they are able to steal full points at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters, the Gunners players will be happy to do their job very well. so, I'm quite sure that Arteta is not aiming for a draw in the first leg. theoretically, Arsenal will continue to use an offensive playing pattern. thus, it is certain that this match will be quite fierce. the problem is, the Gunners' young squad will be tested in this match. will Arsenal be able to overcome the obstacles when they visit Porto's headquarters, or will Arsenal experience the same thing as when competing at Lens' headquarters.
On the other hand, as the home team, Porto will not let Arsenal steal full points at home, that's why Sergio Conceicao will prepare his team's squad to fight with good performance when they face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League. the opportunity to play in front of their own supporters in the first leg, Conceicao's squad will do their job by doing their job very well. but if we refer to what the betting bookies are providing for the time being, Arsenal is superior to the home team. however, these odds are only temporary. ahead of the match, it's likely that will change. unless Arsenal experiences problems or is otherwise in a positive trend.
Talking about Arsenal in the Domestic League competition, I think we still have lots of opportunities to remain competitive. after all, there are still a lot of games remaining until the end of the season. well, let's just wait before the Porto vs Arsenal match.
This match will be a fierce one and will be a strong test for Arteta and his boys on their readiness for the UCL. Porto are a pretty good team and are very composed when playing on home soil and they’ll be coming to that match to watch Arsenal play their football while they probably sit and hit on the counter. Arsenal should better improve on their offensive play and try to know when to fall back. They should take cues from the match against West Ham because it could be similar to what Porto will be preparing for them. For the first leg I think double chancing on Arsenal is better and for the second leg giving Arsenal a straight win is preferable. Domestically, I think Arsenal will bounce back from the defeat from the Hammers and put up a fight for the league, I believe Arteta have learnt one or two lessons and how to make up for his errors. |

If indeed Lewandowski asks for a salary increase, it seems I agree with you that he will be sold to another club to make a profit rather than increasing his salary but it won't have a big impact on Barcelona.
I have previously heard that Lewandowski actually wanted to be sold by Barcelona but he refused when there was a big offer from a Saudi Arabian club so maybe Lewandowski received a bigger offer from a European club.
The question is quite difficult, which European club is willing to buy old players at high prices? It's a little impossible but it could happen unless he gives a very strong performance this season and releases him in the next transfer market to give confidence to other clubs to offer him a big salary even though he looks old.
But it quite difficult for Lewandowski to improve his performance because his old age prevents him from increasing his performance level because his physique is definitely very different.
Barcelona is financially off the radar at this point and Lewandowski asking for a pay rise will leave them with no other option than to offload him. Yes, he would have left earlier had he not turned down a huge offer from the SPL but what could be the cause? Him asking for a pay rise means there have been a green light from a club in Europe and yes it’s very possible because I feel he still has some sting in him and could help you get huge number of goals enough to make your team succeed. So Barcelona would have to use him to his full potential then try to offload at the end of the season and make way for younger striker who still proves effective, cause with the way things are I don't think Lewandowski is still fit for the pressure in European football, despite the fact that he's experienced it's not enough to keep Barcelona going, they'll need a younger, stronger and talented young lad upfront to replace him sooner or later. |
