Barcelona's appearance during pre-season, in my opinion, was quite impressive. Barcelona only lost 5-3 to Arsenal, while Barcelona won the other 3 matches including against Vissel, Real Madrid and Milan.
Xavi did some experimenting with almost all of his players, that included strategy between the first and second half. The match results and match statistics were satisfactory, but Barcelona were also not as good as expected, especially in terms of finishing. Raphinha, Ferran, Ansu Fati, Lewandowski, Yamal and some other played well, but Milan's defense was also the reason why there were so few goals scored in that match.
I applaud the improvement in performance made by Xavi in this pre-season match because they were able to progress quite perfectly in the 4 matches they played because they only lost 1 against Arsenal. In the match against Ac milan, where Barcelona was able to show their best form with the tiki taka they played, so that Barcelona was able to master well the course of this match. Besides that, the quality of Barcelona players is quite good from what they have shown against real madrid or ac milan. If you look at the process that is being carried out by xavi in pre-season matches, of course he gives a lot of playing minutes for their reserve players and even for their new players to be able to adapt properly before Laliga starts again. |

Tuchel proved that he is a good coach and h had a good performance in this game because in this match his team amazing comeback against Liverpool and especially in the second they had a good performance while compared to the first half they had a much better performance than the first half and this is the reason for them to win this game against Liverpool.
I think this is a dramatic victory that Bayern Munich got against Liverpool. The friendly match was not too serious because the coaches did not fully give playing minutes to the core players full time because the coaches preferred to give playing time to their substitute players. But in that match, I think that the victory won by Bayern Munich was luck, which was obtained in the final minutes before the end of this match. Previously under tuchel we have not seen the change in their game last season as tuchel came to bayern munich at the end of the season. So we will assess Bayern Munich progress in the next season under Tuchel tutelage. Can Tuchel bring Bayern Munich to appear more impressive in the Bundesliga and Champions League with the target of getting to the Champions League final? |

I still think that Al-Nassr needs to think about their defense. Look at the team and look at the defense. To make it understand better, the eleven there is worth 133 million right now, and I would argue some of them worth even more, but valued less. But 4 players at the defense and goalkeeper combined worths 7 million of it. So they have 7 players who worth 126 million, and 4 players that worth 7 million. That is a very very bad transfer method, they need to get a lot better players there.
Especially when you consider their two main center backs worth just 2 million dollars combined, you realize that they do not have any defense at all. This can't be good for them, the results will still be not that great if they keep this up.
In my opinion, Al Nassr will again recruit new players in this transfer window, especially to strengthen their defense. Al Nassr front line is getting stronger if you look at the signings they made in this transfer window. Now the weak point that maybe needs to be stabilized is the defense and I believe this is their last job in this season's transfer window. One of the defenders who have been successfully brought in by Al Nassr is Alex Telles, who was bought from Manchester United. In addition, there are several names that may have been included in their target in this transfer fee window. So far, Al Nassr has been strong enough compared to the depth of their squad last season. |

Even right now we are in pre-season stages but look like Liverpool is not learned from their previous mistakes and allow few good players without any suitable replacements even I read they are in talk about few players but still they are doing few things quickly without any cover which can hurt them again in coming season just like they have done with Sadio Mané and face trouble throughout season and lost their spot as well.
Now allowing Fabinho and Henderson without any quality replacement surely going to hurt them badly as McAllister is also not fully fit, and they are doing poor in early matches as well, hopefully we will have few quality players in middle of the squad which will help them for having better performance in the coming season.
Liverpool lost several core players in this season's transfer window such as Firmino, Fabinho and captain Henderson. Now leaving these 3 players certainly leaves a gap for Liverpool management to be overcome immediately in this transfer window. We'll be looking forward to seeing what changes kloop will make in the one month remaining of the transfer window before it closes in September. So if you look at Liverpool games in pre-season matches, of course they didn't show a more impressive performance when they faced Bayern Munich because it was clear that there were many gaps in weakness in their squad. Bayern munich was able to beat them even though they lost Sadio Mane, but Bayern Munich performance in this match was quite impressive. But for kloop he seems to have found a weak spot in their squad after being left out by Firmino, Fabinho and Henderson. |

Arteta has done so much work for arsenal by bringing young players for next season and this will definitely improve arsenal without no doubt but I'm not so sure if arsenal will have that energy to win the Champions league. Arsenal failed to win Premier league last season and the main target for arsenal next season should be winning Premier league, it won't be easy for arsenal to be fighting for Premier league and champions league because the team is just coming up, it will be better they go after one trophy.
Of course that's hard to say in advance. I mean do the young players from the Arsenal squad have the mentality of winning in the Champions league. The champions league match is a fairly important match that they must focus on next season because if they waste the opportunity then Arsenal will find it difficult to go far in the Champions league. Even Arsenal have been absent for a long time in the champions league so this season is the most beautiful season for them to show their strength that they have built from the previous season. The arsenal squad is almost an average of young players and they are not experienced enough to play in the champions league, therefore they must be able to work hard in every match they will play. We will wait for the group phase draw which will be held at the end of August. |

It is difficult to make it happen to go to Harry Kane, because the price is the main obstacle for Man United current finances. Apart from that, Bayern Munchen is also very insistent on recruiting him in this transfer window. Even though Hojlund hasn't shown great performance so far, the risk of loss arising from an inaccurate purchase is smaller because Hojlund is only 20 years old.
No one doubts the quality of Kane, but all this potential can be realized by Hojlund. It could be that he can compete for top scorer next season with Salah and Halaand.
Manchester United have finally got a player who plays as a center forward for next season. I think Hojlund will be a deadly duel with Marcus Rashford next season. Apart from that, for Harry Kane, speculation over his future is still a mystery because he has yet to get a new team after declaring he wants to join another team in this transfer window. I see that the opportunities that Bayern Munich have to get Harry Kane are increasingly open because the Bayern Munich envoy will meet Levy in person for their final offer to recruit Harry Kane. I'm sure the outcome of this meeting will provide some certainty about Harry Kane's future. |

I think so, too. Barcelona won't play a terrible season considering the players they have to start the season with. Real Madrid is also too strong to completely fail, but I think last season was too weak to be true  Atletico Madrid is like a surprise bag to me as I can't clearly see whether they are ready to attack the top again or whether it could be another average season for them. They also never play a bad season, but to stand up to Barcelona and Real Madrid it takes more than a good season. They did lack the killer instinct in some games, in the close games when they could win it with a one goal advantage and they usually do win it, but last season they couldn't kill the clock in some of those close games and lost points due to an equalizer or lost a point because they got a lucky punch against them. Atletico Madrid always appear stable in Laliga because they always close the season in the top 4. However, this season there is a relatively high chance that they will still be under Real Madrid and Barcelona on the standings. Atletico Madrid don't have a big instinct to build a squad to be contenders in the title race because they will feel weak when they face Real Madrid and Barcelona. I think Atletico Madrid can win the Laliga trophy if they have better quality players in their squad depth. Because the two teams above them have stronger squad depth compared to Atletico madrid. |

There's nothing wrong with your assumption, and so far Barcelona has still adopted the same way where they always have a few players from their own academy. They are poised to be the star players of the future, it is the next generation of Barcelona that will lead the team to glory. It's just that Barcelona's financial condition is very likely to make some players to leave especially if they expect a higher salary.
Gavi, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Balde, Araujo and several other players are the academy players I mean. So they really understand the condition of the team and they also seem willing to help the team to get their glory together again. The great thing about Barcelona's current players is that they are willing to lower their wages and continue to want to stay in the team for the long term.
Now talking about Barcelona, Indeed they often orbit players from the La Masia Academy where this has been done successively to see the potential for their players to be included in the main squad in every season. I'm sure Barcelona will again get a player who is believed to have good enough abilities for them next season. Fermin Lopez may be one of the players who performed well when Barcelona faced Real Madrid. But Barcelona also continues to monitor his progress in the next match. Because If Lopez manages to keep up his impressive qualities he will very likely quickly become xavi choice in the Laliga next season. |

The odds are not high enough to make me bet on this game and since that's a friendly match everything is possible between these two teams there is even a chance for one team to don't take this game seriously, but still, I think the chance for Inter Milan to win this game in much higher than PSG because unlike PSG they were more stable and they didn't make too many changes in their teams while PSG even using a new coach in the next season.
Psg performance in this pre-season match was not very satisfying because they lost against Osaka. Although some people think that this pre-season match is a match that is not too serious, but in another context, Luis Enrique certainly failed to develop a good strategy in that game. It seems that some of the new players psg are still having difficulty adapting to Luis Enrique tactics. For later odds I think Inter Milan can be the best choice to bet on them. I think the inter milan squad is very well organized for the games they have played. However, I would like to see a deadly duo presented by Inter Milan where Inzaghi can play Thuram earlier to see their duel with Martinez in the match against PSG. |

Let’s just think for a second that with the Saudi league, somehow get Mbappé, it is going to be huge. There is going to be another flock of players going to the Saudi league. First of all we got to see the Ronaldo effect. This time we all have seen the Mbappé effect.
But anyway, I do not think that this is happening. He is certainly not going to go to Saudi league. Currently I do not see him going to the English Premier League. The only club in the English Premier League, which could have attracted him was Manchester City and they already have Erling Haaland. So for now, it is either PSG or Real Madrid.
If you look at the quality of Mbappe and his current age, we can all guess that he still wants to play in Europe. I think Mbappe rejection of the Saudi Arabian league team is the best decision because he can develop well in Europe with his new team this season. So far teams from the EPL have tried to hunt for Mbappe signature in this transfer window. Liverpool is a team that wants to sign Mbappe on loan. I think it is better for Mbappe to accept an offer from an EPL team than a Saudi Arabian league team because for now the Premier League is the best league in the world. However it will all be up to Mbappe as he has yet to decide his future in this transfer window. There is a lot of speculation that he will stay with PSG even though he will grace the bench until the end of the season. |

I hadn't heard of Fermin Lopez before. There was nothing that caught my attention. But after he scored a goal, I did some research. He is a very young and ambitious player. If he gets a chance to play, I'm sure he'll improve a lot. May be mentioned a lot in the coming years  Of course, we rarely hear the name Fermin Lopez because he just got the chance to show his best qualities in this pre-season game. But what should be appreciated is that he was able to score against Real Madrid, who are eternal rivals for Barcelona, and this was what Lopez did in his debut with the senior team. Even though it was a friendly match but he managed to steal the attention of many people in that match. With the development of his quality in the game, it is believed that Lopez will become a very influential player for Barcelona in the coming seasons. I think Xavi will certainly give an opportunity for Lopez in the remaining pre-season matches in order to hone the skills he has. |

Barcelona looked stunning when they beat Real Madrid. One of Barcelona players immediately became hot news on social media. He is Fermin Lopez, who is one of the graduates from the La Masia academy who performed quite well in yesterday's El Clasico match. I think Xavi will continue to provide opportunities for young players to show their talent in pre-season games.
Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid with a big score which made Barcelona even more confident that next season Barcelona would be able to defend the title. But for real madrid they have gaps they can improve in this transfer window, If Real Madrid don't do it I think Barcelona will easily beat them next season.

After failing to make his debut in the first game of pre-season due to discomfort in one of his legs, it is now reported that Arda Guler has returned to Madrid to make a quicker recovery and the diagnosis says that he has a meniscus injury. Maybe no one thought that Arda Guler had to deal with injuries early and even though he was scheduled to play against Juventus in the pre-season match later.
But it looks like the player's health comes first and he will therefore have to leave the pre-season camp early. Well, we hope for the best for the recovery of this talented wonderkid from Turkey and in the early matches of the La Liga season he will be able to start playing again.
It's also surprising that he's just signed in and already has an injury and hope he'll be back in the near future. Arda Guler is believed to be a talented talent who can develop well with Real Madrid in the coming season because Arda has good enough skills that he can show to the public with Real Madrid in the next season. On the other hand, Bellingham performed quite nicely when Real Madrid beat Manchester United in the previous match because that was the first goal scored by Bellingham after he was bought from Dortmund. Joselu also made a positive impression by scoring a goal in that match. I think joselu can maintain his quality for the season as he's got a tough job after benzema left. |

I feel like it is not about how much you spend but where you spend it. They could spend another billion dollars if they must, but if they do not get a striker then they should realize that they are still missing it. I know that it is going to suck for a long time to see something like that but that doesn't mean that it is going to end up with a good result one way or another.
Just hope for the best and you should be getting a better player if you are lucky. Of course it is expensive these days to get these players, also there aren't all that many great pure strikers who score a lot, the number of them are dwindling due to wingers becoming more popular, but I believe if they can get one like that, they would be a lot better.
If you look further, it is true that the transfer market is very crazy because several teams that have become the main attraction in this transfer market have set very high release clauses for their players. For Arsenal of course they have spent quite a lot of money and they will probably continue to be aggressive to build a stronger squad. For stickers, it might be quite difficult to find one that can really make a big contribution to every game. If we look at the transfer market, of course, every transfer market there are always surprises, whether it's breaking a transfer record or everything. And this will probably happen in this transfer window because Mbappe price is pegged by PSG quite high so there is a high probability that he will become the most expensive player to happen in this transfer window. I might wonder if Arsenal are interested in getting Mbappe. |

I don't think Mane has had any trouble getting a regular place at Bayern Munich, that is evidenced by the number of appearances he made last season. Sadio Mane made 25 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, meaning he only missed 13 games due to injury or other reasons. I don't feel that the difficulty of finding a place was the reason why Mane left, but there must have been other reasons that prompted Bayern Munich to want to sell him.
I think Mane is not less competitive than other players at Bayern Munich, but it seems that there is an internal problem that allows Bayern Munich to sell him to the Arab Pro League, but that is my assumption which is still very likely to be doubted.
Indeed, statistically in his first season at Bayern Munich, Sadio Mane automatically won a regular place in the main squad, but maybe because of his clash with Leroy Mane, the situation changed quickly at that time because Bayern Munich began to give out some penalties for Sadio Mane. So there is a big possibility to stabilize team harmony, so the right step is to sell sadio mane. Besides that, Tuchel presence as the new coach for Bayern Munich might also be a strong reason for Bayern Munich to sell Sadio Mane because Tuchel doesn't really prioritize Sadio Mane for next season. Previously, Sadio Mane had denied that he would leave Bayern Munich in this transfer window, but in reality he had agreed to an offer from Al Nassr. |

Do you still think Ramos is still in the current PSG squad?
In fact, Ramos current status is without a club because PSG also did not extend his contract. With the contract not renewed, Ramos can be owned by any club at this moment for free, but I wonder why you still think Ramos is still part of the PSG squad. Also, regarding that match it seems that PSG also only played second-tier players, so it seems natural for PSG to lose. But indeed, as a strong team in Ligue 1, it is only natural that the quality of the second tier players can also have good abilities to win in friendly matches like that.
It was reported that Ramos was approached by the team from MLS. Indeed after Ramos ended his contract with PSG he has not found a new team for his further career. Now one thing that makes me sure is that it will be difficult for him to find a new team because he is already 37 years old, so that will be the end of his career in his beautiful journey in playing football. Apart from that, he is indeed the best defender we have ever seen at Real Madrid, but because he is old, of course, the decline in his performance is the main point for the team to recruit him. Even if the team from MLS manages to recruit him, I will make sure he will play for the next 1 season before announcing his retirement. |

Not possibilities yet for Mbappe joining Al Hilal next season although have formal bid offer 300 million for fees transfer and open bid 170 million euro for payment salary. I think difficult for bringing Mbappe to Saudi Pro League teams because he wants push his career with top european teams and winning competitive tittles. Seems money isn't everything for Mbappe after rejecting bid formal offering from Al Hilal and he rejected for meeting with Al Hilal management.
Looks forward and Al Hilal better looking for new potential player to sign, forget with Mbappe because he won't play for Al Hilal and still has many star player left in European teams want to play due interested salary offering than keep stay with European teams.
You're right. Mabppe has clarified dimama he will not join Al hilal. I think Mbappe big wish for next season is to join Real Madrid. Many media have linked that he has established communication with Real Madrid to join Real Madrid next season, but PSG wants to sell him in this transfer window so that's what makes the Mbappe transfer situation even more complicated for other teams. There is no recent information regarding other teams after Mbappe rejected Al Hilal offer. Even the Premier League team, which previously had issues that were interested in signing Mbappe, but in fact they didn't approach PSG at all in this transfer window. |

I don't think Pep Guardiola will be as worried as you say. Manchester City have players who can still be relied on like Foden if Bernardo Silva leaves during the transfer market. Pep Guardiola also has good defenders where it is possible to replace Walker who other teams are interested in, but of course it is important to try to keep those two players as much as you can.
Even though Manchester City ended up having to part ways with their 4 important players during the transfer market, so I don't think they will lose a lot of quality which can make their title chances lower. Pep Guardiola definitely has a good plan in mind for his team, he will also anticipate other plans should Walker and Silva leave.
Yes, there are a number of things that you should pay attention to because a big team will lose balance if many of their core players leave in this summer's transfer window. Manchester city just made their history last season by winning the treble winner. So there are several steps that pep must anticipate to balance their strengths in the next season, where he must be able to persuade star players not to leave in this transfer market. Indeed pep guardiola has some stock players but if some influential players in the depth of their squad leave in this transfer window then it is very likely that manchester city will also lose its best form next season. Therefore I think pep guardiola has to hold Walker and Silva to stay with them next season. |

If Kylian Mbappe is playing for money then I hope he doesn't really manage to win what he wants. I don't see Mbappe having the big soul as a star player even though he won the World Cup with France. Mbappe is too selfish, that is the biggest barrier to making him the best player in the world right now.
Compared to Haaland, I think Haaland is much better than Kylian Mbappe. Haaland doesn't seem selfish and he doesn't play for himself because he is more concerned with the team than his achievements. As strikers, Haaland and Mbappe are the best strikers at the moment, but Haaland is the first in my opinion. If Mbappe leaves PSG because of money, then I don't think his career will be as bright as it was when he returned to Europe.
Why do you have to link Mbappe with Haaland because it can already be seen that Haaland is playing in a competitive league and he has managed to prove the quality of being a very aggressive player for now and he doesn't seem selfish in himself. Well mbappe he played in ligue 1 and there wasn't too much tough competition going on so he set a lot of individual records in ligue 1 but he prided himself on the various problems he caused. It looks like other teams are definitely not going to waste a lot of money just to sign one a player. I think he can reach the pinnacle of his career if he stays with PSG and agrees to a contract extension. I think turning down the offer from the saudi arabia team is a good decision because he wants to play in europe because of his young age. |

Thomas Tuchel has alternate strategies for his team, but this season he is more concerned with signing an attacker. Bayern Munich is interested in selling Sadio Mané this summer since he has not developed despite receiving adequate game time, and he is most likely unhappy at the Allianz Arena. AL Nassr, a Saudi club, is interested in Mané and plans to send their first proposal for him, which will be worth roughly €37 million. The bidding club believes they have a 100% chance of winning him over, and conversations are ongoing on the players' side, though no agreement has been reached.
Please check this Understand Al Nassr are set to offer around €37m to Bayern for Sadio Mané. Saudi side is now really confident to make it happen 🚨🟡🔵 #AlNassr
Talks advancing to final stages between clubs.
Mane’s agent, negotiating terms of the contract with Al Nassr. Mane is very close to joining al nassr. I think that will be so good for bayern caused by the club will able to use money raised from mane to buy kane. That means if bayern doesn't need to spend a lot of money but this must be done as soon as possible. It's caused by bayern has also PSG that was trying to get kane from spurs. Bayern needs to take a fast step to make sure kane will not be secured by bayern. I strongly agree if bayern will get kane rather than try to defend mane to stay in the club till next year. I hope what romano said was true. Previously I saw updates regarding the development of Sadio Mane transfer and it turned out that Al Nassr and Bayern Munich reached an agreement on the transfer of Sadio Mane so that Sadio Mane will be announced soon by Al Nassr as the new recruitment they have done. In fact, this has ended Sadio Mane adventures on the European stage because next season we will not see Sadip Mane playing in Europe again. One by one the top european players went to the saudi arabia league team. I think this transfer window most star players are more interested in joining saudi arabia team. In fact, Mahrez officially joined the Al Ahli team. The closing time for the transfer window is still long, so there is a high probability that a number of Europe top player names will be the target of the Saudi Arabian league team in the remaining time of this summer transfer window. |
