Actually expecting something like that is not too wrong because Lewa is a targetman and Lewa can actually still be hopeful but the problem is that the supply given to Lewa in the last few matches is not very good which makes Lewa unable to play like she should.
With this condition there will actually be worries for Xavi but seeing the condition of Barcelona it will only stay like that because if they change the coach again it will be very difficult for their financial condition.
This will always be the problem of teams that rely on a player to get the needed results. In the case of Barcelona, opponents have began to understand that if the stop the flow of the ball to Robert Lewandowski, the team would become powerless in the attack. So the teams would device ways to block the aerial passes from the wings and chock-up the midfield to ensure that he doesn't get the ball. And Lewandowski don't have the strength to get ball from the midfield or run through the flanks because of his age. That is why Chelsea would always be an unpredictable team because even defenders a potential goalscorers. This is the problem Xavi is too focused on Lewandowski as a target man so that the scheme they do is quite clear to read from the start. Even though they have some typical midfielders and wing runners like Gavi or Pedri in midfield as well as Dembele, Ansu and Rafinha whose skills are actually above average but indeed Xavi seems to still want to continue with his tiki taka philosophy so that these players are not too maximum in performance. |

Actually expecting something like that is not too wrong because Lewa is a targetman and Lewa can actually still be hopeful but the problem is that the supply given to Lewa in the last few matches is not very good which makes Lewa unable to play like she should. As far as I know, Lewandowski is the target man in the Barcelona striker and I admit that. But I also think in the last few games especially against Inter and Bayern, Lewandowski was really struggling to find the ball because the opposing defense cut off the flow of the ball for him. This means that Barcelona's strategy in 4 matches is really easy to read by opponents, especially Bayern Munich. Xavi's scheme was really readable in this match and they focused more on the defense which was constantly under attack which made it very difficult for Lewandowski to find space and find rhythm as Barcelona's midfield had been dominated by Bayern and Inter in their matches. With this condition there will actually be worries for Xavi but seeing the condition of Barcelona it will only stay like that because if they change the coach again it will be very difficult for their financial condition. Of course it will be difficult, but there are only two good choices and that is to give him full support or find a replacement. Finding a replacement at this time is difficult, so like it or not, full support must be done because regardless of their financial condition, which is now under threat, especially with the issue of player salaries, it is quite difficult to compensate Xavi while looking for a new coach. |

The access to the online casinos is simple and easy while the local casinos are only limited to some people, i mean there is not physical casinos everywhere. Only the big cities has them, so, not all of us have the option to decide, our only option are online casinos.
I have been in tons of online casinos, but in real ones just like 5 times, and the experience in the real ones is totally different, real casinos are have crazy ambient.
This is because our adrenaline is more pumped when we are in a land-based casino. Actually this is a natural thing because when we are online all we see is a screen that visualizes gambling but when we are in a land-based casino it will obviously be a little different because indeed what we feel and see is real and we can even feel the sensation of holding chips which are actually very different from seeing the balance that we deposit at the online casino. |

I will not say that the Barcelona team is not strong. Barcelona's team is strong enough. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. But the problem is that it is very difficult to make predictions about Barcelona's performance. Because there is no consistency in their performance. Barcelona does not perform well against big teams. Barcelona has several weaknesses. It is a shame that a renowned team like Barcelona will be eliminated from the Champions League in the first round. Xavi will definitely want to perform well in the Europa League and La Liga. I think if Barcelona's defence is strong they will be able to win the La Liga title. The main problem I identify with Barcelona in the Champions League is that they rely heavily on Lewandowski for make goal, secondly they don't have good options for defenders when their main players are injured. Nobody thought they would fail in the early stages (group stage), but that's how it is. I suspect Xavi is really worried about his future now especially if Barcelona also fail in the Europa League, Laliga or Copa del Rey. If Xavi fails for all those titles, then I don't know why Laporta wants to keep him longer. I admit he is great, but the team needs to win and the title. Actually expecting something like that is not too wrong because Lewa is a targetman and Lewa can actually still be hopeful but the problem is that the supply given to Lewa in the last few matches is not very good which makes Lewa unable to play like she should. With this condition there will actually be worries for Xavi but seeing the condition of Barcelona it will only stay like that because if they change the coach again it will be very difficult for their financial condition. |

In general it is not too late for Liverpool if they want to rise from adversity at the start of this season, but Liverpool need to work hard for this because Liverpool already have to catch up on points from their rivals in the Premier League. Because now top teams like Arsenal and Manchester City are very difficult to beat because they are both very consistent in playing in any match.
They obviously expected that but indeed until now things like this still can't come true considering in their last few games that I have seen everything is still the same. They are still struggling with their current internal problems. There are several injured players as well which makes it even more difficult for Liverpool because there are indeed several important figures who must be absent. |

So it be a boomerang for Xavi, also history against Bayern has been the worst record for Barcelona in the UCL after Messi left, Barcelona could not win against Bayern. Many of us assume that Barcelona got stronger when Xavi became a manager, but in fact the UCL target cannot be achieved perfectly even at this time in La Liga it is stuck in the runner up position. Yeah, Barcelona can only beat Weak teams with their squad which now Barcelona can't afford to play against big clubs, it's a big problem for Xavi and for "sacking" you are right the board has no other choice of coach due to financial problems.
Actually in this case even when Messi was there they couldn't beat Bayern as I remember and even we also know that the 2-8 tragedy occurred during the Messi Era at that time. This is not Messi's problem but indeed Barcelona has always bowed down when facing Bayern in Champions League matches but they have also had to bow down this season due to defeat and unexpected results from Inter which made them have to settle for returning to the Europa League. |

@hd49728 Xavi started well, but he’s trying hard to please the board by taking decisions like keeping De Jong out of the team or playing him in defence and when a coach does that it effects the entire team’s morale. Furthermore even though they’re out of the champions league they can yet challenge for the La Liga title if Xavi choses player’s on their merits and tweaks his system to accommodate his current set of player’s, but if he choses to repeat his mistakes then he’ll not win the league title this season too. It only happened a while after that De Jong was back again in the end and even now lol. In this case it may be true that Xavi is one of the bearers of blessings but for him who has not qualified for the Champions League for 2 seasons in a row even with the current condition of the players who can be said to be very good, this is clearly not a defense that can be done because this is a mistake that is definitely difficult received. |

Haaland just got injured against dortmund in the champions match, Guardiola Not Sure Haaland Can Defend City Against Leicester, but I'm sure without Haaland Manchester City can easily win the game against Leicester this weekend, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola predicts star striker Erling Haaland will miss this weekend's game against Leicester
I was very interested in this information (how could I miss it) and I tried to find it in the news, but it looks like you mixed something up since there is no evidence for this. Haaland regularly suffered from microtraumas in Borussia, but in City he is doing well so far and Guardiola stated that Haaland would play with City physios every three days without any problems (which, by the way, surprised me, since it is unlikely that City physios are so much better than their counterparts from Borussia). It's just a minor injury and there was a fever which was bothering him so he was taken off the pitch but it's not too serious as Pep has also said Haaland is okay and just needs a few days rest. But even if that's the case for Leicester City it's actually a bit doubtful for Haaland and Joao in this case hopefully they can be fit again, but even if not I'm still not too doubtful about their quality even without Haaland. |

Old habits dies hard it seems. Lewa went straight to Bayern locker room after the game ended in order to change some words with his ex-teammates but I think he should have moved further and be on his way to Barca locker room and try to motivate them because they just lost and moved into Europa League for 2nd time in a row...  . Lewa is a great player but he needs more support from his team because age won't wait for him any longer... The problem may be in terms of proximity, although indeed things like this should be minimized, but the old togetherness between Lewa and Bayern Munich can't be blamed either. Actually, in this case, it depends on our perspective, it really depends on whether we really have a problem with it or not but I'm not too bothered because motivation doesn't really matter because the game is over and in fact they lost again and returned to the Europa League. |

Even though adoption is continuously growing, I don't like the idea of crypto being discussed into schools. It's not necessary to go that far if your only purpose to integrate it is just to spread awareness. Internet is already enough source to learn about the fundamentals of cryptocurrencies. Cryptos are also very volatile so it should not be discussed hastily on students that don't have any idea yet about investing or entrepreneurship.
I am a liar if he is the only one in these, many people have pushed for the growth and increase of bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies, the process might take time be tike consuming, but certainly the mission of Satoshi and other bitcoiners will be accepted soon. Do you little part by increasing the usefulness and hiw effective it can be for people who thinks banks are better. Cryptocurrencies might also be too big to understand for kids so according to other users, finance and online skills should be attained which will help boost a countries economy. In this case there are pluses and minuses, of course, because regardless of anything, if you look at it from a more complicated perspective, it does seem like it's not very suitable to be taught to school-age children, but of course Crypto also adjusts. We don't have to give heavy lessons such as about lightning networks, mining or software that can indeed be used to support but only some of the basics that make them little by little so they can know what Crypto is like. Of course, with increasingly sophisticated technology and many school-age children who are always curious, this can be a benchmark that Crypto can be included in schools. Instead of them looking for access and finding the wrong way, of course we better introduce them first in the right way. |

I think Accessibility is really one of the factors that really has a big impact in this case because when we look at the comparison of online and land casinos it is clear that online casinos have the advantage in this regard.
We don't need to go to a gambling house to get what we want, because indeed this can be done wherever and whenever you want without the hassle of traveling, especially for people who are very far away like my current area which is quite far from the casino.
But regardless of what this is, it's back to their respective perspectives because of course different heads have different thoughts and of course different in terms of fun.

played at CAMP NOU against Bayern but Barca still made ZERO "shots on goal", this is a shocking statistic and I can't believe what I'm seeing. one thing I'm thankful for is I didn't make a bet for this match, it was a tough choice when I as a Barca fan had to watch them lose at home. the final result will definitely stay the same = 2-0
And the full-time score is 0-3. I can't think how they and their fans will feel to be beaten by 3 at home and without a single goal in return. What's more, Lewandowski seemed helpless against his former team. And I'm sure Bayern understands very well how to anticipate Lewandowski. With this result, it is certain that Barcelona will not qualify for the group. Moreover, on the other hand, Inter also slaughtered Victoria Pizen with a score of 4-0. In the end they remained the clowns in the Champions League for 2 seasons in a row, this is clearly a blow, especially in this case the expectations of Barcelona fans are clearly high because in the transfer market they spend a lot of money. And the most important thing now is that Barcelona clearly lost the coffers of the bonus they should have got from qualifying for the knockout phase and of course this has an impact on their finances. Hopefully with this loss they will not experience big problems in terms of financial next season. |

I think one of the reasons most clubs don't want Ronaldo is as said, due to his age and experience. He is past his peak performance and can only be of much use in leagues with less stress, unlike the English premiership. Also, with the vast experience he has garnered over the years, he might be too heady or superior to the managers or team members. It is also likely that if Ronaldo is in a team, the game is kind of bound to be centered about him. Managers know this, and dont want an influence bigger than theirs. If I were him, either I go to the Spanish league or to the American league because he still has to remain fresh for Portugal in their oncoming world cup campaign.
If Ronaldo want to play in Spanish league, he will only prefer La Liga Santander which is where the club (Real Madrid) that he was before he went to Juventus, then back to Manchester United. With how he is in Manchester United now, do you think clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona can prefer C. Ronaldo to play with them again? He is getting old in football and that may not be possible. The best is for him to later join MLS is what I can think, but I do not think it is yet good time he should join. The problem with the current conditions seems a little difficult for Ronaldo to return to Real Madrid. Currently, Ronaldo's position in Madrid has been filled by Vini, who is actually younger, even though his abilities are still in the process of being developed in a better direction and the center forward also has Benzema and other young Brazilian players, namely Rodrygo. Indeed, something like this is still possible but seeing Perez's ego it seems he will not bring him back if this position already exists and of course it is more likely to be a long-term progress. |

Barcelona will play this week at Valencia, on paper certainly not an easy opponent in an away game. And Barcelona have to chase Real Madrid, which plays a home game against Girona. It is far too early to say that the championship has been decided, Real Madrid's lead is minimal and the Barcelona - Real Madrid match has yet to be played. The match in Madrid was lost without a chance for Barcelona. I think Atletico Madrid will get an easy 3rd place. I also see Barcelona getting a big setback, but Real Madrid is too good to have a form dip. They have so much class that individual players can always save that team.
Barcelona is annoying for Real Madrid this season for sure even though people are trending that they have the worst 50 matches played under his management when they compare him to Koeman and the others. The repetitive failure to defeat Bayern in Champions League and the move to Europa League might have a negative effect on the team but I still believe they can do it! It is undeniable that during the middle of last season and until now Barcelona have been under a turning point for them and of course this is something that is very good and very much awaited by football fans, especially La Liga because in the last few seasons they seem to have been knocked out of the competition. But indeed for now Barcelona also cannot be said to always be in good form because in the last few matches it is very difficult to predict the direction of the game because sometimes they play well but sometimes they play badly. |

It's quite interesting to wait for his return to the Serie A League, because as I know that Napoli and Juventus are sworn enemies, in recent years, we know they are always fighting for the Scudeto at a time when coach Maurizio Sarri was still riding Napoli at that time, and Juve with the current coach, Honestly this will make Juventus fans will be hurt if the move is true..
What to expect from Ronaldo by Spalletti? I don't think Ronaldo will make much of an impact, maybe it will only add to Spalletti a new problem. His nature at Man United should know what will happen if he brings in Ronaldo. I think it will be more trouble than profit. If Ronaldo's price is still expensive, of course it will not be worth the gain. I think Napoli are better looking for a talented young forward. It's not buying an old player who is starting to lose his best strength. The only real impact comes from adding fans to Napoli and making his Souvenirs or Jersey sales increase other than that it may be a little impact that will be felt. Napoli are currently in good form and don't let this be a bit divided because it is the presence of Ronaldo which is considered extraordinary because this could boomerang for them. Not to say Ronaldo is a bad player because we know what quality he is, but can he really be there and immediately become good at Napoli? Of course this can be a double edged sword. |

Napoli must maintain a consistent appearance, the Serie A journey is still very far away. Milan can take first place if Napoli cannot maintain its performance in the matches played. Victory is the target to keep its position in first place.
I don't feel Napoli will be looking at the other teams around them at the top of the seria a, their mind will have to be on themselves, and not if the other teams are winning or losing, if they take their minds off themselves for even a short time they may lose their concentration and consistency, they only have to continue winning games, playing the way they are doing now and they will surely be champions at the end of the season. There are still many games to play, but Napoli have already set themselves as the favorites, and with the way they are performing in the champions league, they may be the 'small' team that goes very far and causes upsets in that competition this season. With a win over Roma, they remain at the top of the league. Besides topping the table, Napoli is beating their top rivals. It would be good for them if they continued to win. Since many of Napoli's key players have left, I didn't expect the team to be competitive this season, but they've proven me wrong. I wish SSC Napoli and Luciano Spalleti the best of luck this year, both at home and in the UCL. Serie A is Napoli's best chance to win now. It would be great to see them win it. We are still in the early stages, however! They are now quite comfortable with this but seeing Milan below them I feel a flashback to last season. Hopefully this season Napoli will not be like last season with after being without defeat they had to crumble last season. Now it looks like they are starting to try to do things differently and of course this is a pretty good thing. Their next opponent is Sasuolo, of course the chances of winning are quite big, but they have to make something first when they host Ranger. |

And because Arsenal only got a draw from the game against Southampton then this is actually very unfortunate. because with this draw, Arsenal became unable to widen the difference in points with Manchester city. even though if Arsenal can win this match then the difference in points between Arsenal and Man city will be more. then of course with this it provides an opportunity for manchester city to reclaim the top of the standings if Man city can continue to win in the next match. but for the title then I still can't predict which team will take it this season and even though Arsenal are now at the top. but indeed by looking at the results of this match we can say that Arsena may not necessarily be able to stay at the top of the standings until the end of the season. unless Arsenal can be more consistent in showing their best performance in the next matches.
Actually from the start I felt that Manchester City just needed to wait. Arsenal are in very good performance but I think it is too early for them to be able to compete for the title even though the conditions are so far beyond expectations but I think they can still fight for the Champons League ticket but for the championship this is clearly something else. |

Let's be real, Barcelona doesn't have a second chance at UCL. They will do their best against Bayern Munich, but this alone will not be enough. They will wait for Viktoria Plzen to perform a miracle and beat Inter. The odds of beating Bayern Munich are also low in my opinion. It is impossible for Viktoria Plzen to beat Inter. Therefore, it would be better for them to start thinking about UEL instead of UCL.
Barcelona are in a tight corner that it will be difficult for them to remain in UCL. The mistake Barcelona made was not taking the UCL games serious, I don't know how they want to perform a magic to win the remain game left for them to qualify. I wait to see Barcelona to try as best to win their march. 2 wins hoping for Inter to play badly is indeed something quite difficult but this can still happen even though the chances are very small. Maybe in this case only luck can bring Barcelona back to the next round because this is like trying to escape from the eye of a needle. Inter's opponent is one that is advantageous for Inter. If Barcelona lose or draw and Inter win then it's over for Barcelona. |

Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao match was over and Barca maintained their big 4-0 win.
With only 10 shots but having 7 on target and 4 of them being goals, through Dembele, Roberto, Lewandowski, Torres. However, Dembele deserved to be named the best player of the match tonight in addition to scoring one goal he was also involved in every goal for the Blaugrana.
They are now full of confidence going into the crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.
Brutal attacks early in the first half made the Bilbao players lose their focus in this match. They were attacked from the start of the kick off which made them feel like they were not ready and made a lot of mistakes in their own defense. Obviously this is an absolute victory for Barcelona and of course with this result they will be more confident to face Bayern in the Champions League especially this is their life and death game. |

Tottenham Hotspur really disapoint me today with their performance, but I will put the blame to Conte, for stinking with the 3-5-2 formation that he use against Manchester United that cause him lost, because he prefers to be more defensive, yes I know Kulusevski and Richarlison are injured and he is short with option upfront but Lucas moura and Bryan Gil are there he could have start with either but no he chose to be defensive by using the sluggish Bisouma, with Bryan Gil brief cameo In the champions League he deserves to come in, Tottenham only played well when Lucas came on.
I quite agree with you. He still uses the same scheme as the previous match against Manchester United even though if you look at his previous performance, I think the 3-4-2-1 with Kane as the target man and Richalrison/Kulusevski and Son as the second striker and supporter of Kane is definitely better. Their form is the same as last week and it is clear this is a waste of the chances they should have won in this match. |
