Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are still quite consistent in the Turkish League at the moment but Besiktas doesn't seem to be very consistent in the last 5 matches. Besiktas was only able to achieve 2 wins, 2 of which were losses and 1 draw. Besiktas has lost 8 points from the last 5 matches and the difference in points from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce it's already too far, namely 11 points and I think Besiktas is having a little difficulty catching up with the difference in points that far, whereas Besiktas' current position is in the top 5. Besiktas will have to fight hard in this match so that they don't lose any more points and if Besiktas is able to get 3 points maybe there will be changes in the top 3 positions because Kayserispor will face a quite tough match against Fenerbahce.
This match is difficult to predict because Fenerbahce and Kayserispor are both in good form but Fenerbahce will still be the favorite even though they have to play away from home if you look at the h2h data of the last 5 meetings. Fenerbahce dominates the victory over Kayserispor. I think betting on Fenerbahce or a draw is a bet convincing.
Galatasaray and Fernabache are the only 2 consistent teams in the Turkish League but Besiktas is one team that’s been slacking but they’re also one good side that could turn up when least expected, now in their next match, they’ll be needing all 3 points to create a chaos in top 3 positions and there’ll be some shift in the radar and league standings. Fernabache are favorites for their next match because they’ll need all 3 points to keep being top and giving Galatasaray a good run for the title, this season title race is between both clubs and both would be very careful not to drop points so they'll get ahead of the other. We’ll be having some quite interesting times in the Turkish League and this is more fun for the fans, especially those whose team win consistently. |

I agree with this because we know in several years in Mourinho's prime he was one of the coaches who could not be denied in terms of performance and leadership for a club even the nickname The Special One was indeed worth pinning to this coach but indeed his prime began to fade at this time due to several conditions such as his behavior which was indeed odd and the emergence of several new coaches who could indeed compete better than Mourinho.
He can indeed be said to still be one of the good enough coaches but indeed his current performance in coaching a club is so pronounced that we cannot force him to become one of the great coaches because all the old ones will be replaced by those who are new.
At the moment it seems that he to the SPL club is still not possible because if he want, from last season when there was already a large enough offer but it was rejected by Mourinho because indeed his ambition is still very big but it does not rule out the possibility for next season if in the end his performance does not increase at his current club.
Jose Mourinho is one good coach and his works and philosophy made him merit the name, The Special One. Yes, he has some mad achievements and that’s one part of his time at his prime that made him the special one. But yes as we know, one day the old shall fade away and the young shall takeover. His prime season was affected by some factors but yet he still to an extent has those abilities as the Special one. That’s one reason some Saudi clubs are chasing all out for him but I think his movement to the SPL will be quite a difficult one but it might not be this summer because he could still do some wonders with Roma, but then i think whether he's successful at Roma or not this season, their are chances that he might decide to the Saudi league, based of the huge and better offer he'll get as a manager of any Saudi club he manages. |

not only from last season but from the previous 3 seasons Al Shabab was able to achieve very good achievements in the SPL and all that changed after many talented players from europe joined one of the SPL teams and this greatly influenced Al Shabab performance to achieve achievements like 3 last season and the main thing Al Shabab had to do was just transfer european players like other teams to strengthen their performance. If not, Al Shabab will only achieve unstable achievements and the fans will be very sad to see it, but several times Al Shabab has not shown that they want to target european players, but we'll see if Al Shabab can bring in european players.
In this case, I dont really think that european players are very special, it's just that european players have much more football experience so they can really give a big boost to an SPL team to achieve success like Al Nassr and several other teams that are currently in over Al Shabab.
but there are also several teams that rely on native players without having many european players but still have a comfortable ranking, such as Al Taawon which is currently ranked 4th in the SPL standings.
The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism. It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. |

and what's your opinion ! will a team from the 2.bundesliga reach the final in berlin ? maybe even hertha bsc berlin ?
hertha bsc berlin now have a home game against kaiserslautern. if they win that and have a bit of luck and are drawn for another home game it could be possible .
a great final would of course be hertha bsc berlin against st. pauli . but i think that leverkusen will reach the cup final this year and win the dfb cup in the end.
leverkusen is the best team in german football so far. if the performance is right next year too, winning the dfb cup is possible. finally a title for vizekusen 1
The DFB draw is out and yes from the fixtures, it seems as if Leverkusen are the only teams with greater percentage of chance of winning the cup. In the domestic league, they're doing exclusively beyond just an average performance. Even though they're drawn to go against Stuttgart who are also at the top spot on the league table, the game may be tough but Leverkusen's performance still keeps them out. Another fixture that may be tough will be Monchengladbach against Saarbrucken. These two sides aren't so good but they're good. For Saarbrucken, they defeated Munich to stay in the competition, so definitely their confidence and hopes for advancement are high and for the former, they're a good side, still a threat to team's too, the qualifiers may be known but we'd conclude after every result for these fixtures are out. |

If Napoli chooses to focus more on Serie A than the Coppa Italia, perhaps because they want to catch or maintain their position in the league standings, maybe this could be the reason, but if they lose 0-4 at home, we all need to do it. questioned the quality of Napoli's second tier team
Yes, even with a busy schedule, especially when the team is involved in many competitions such as the Champions League and domestic league, managers often have to make strategic decisions to prioritize which competitions are considered more important.
and we all know that big teams often use reserve players or second-string players when playing in domestic cup competitions such as the Coppa Italia, especially when facing opponents who are considered weaker. However, for other teams, the difference between the first and second tier teams is not that striking, so crushing defeats can be avoided, especially from weak teams in the league.
So whatever the reason, losing 0-4 at home is very embarrassing for a team as big as Napoli
Yes we know most teams chose to focus more on the League Title, safe spot and UCL and that’s one situation that Napoli has found herself, In a bid to get a UCL Spot they used a second team for their coppa Italia but unluckily were trashed 0-4, that's a very big mistake they've made and they paid dearly for it by being kicked out of the Coppa Italia A big home lost for them and this is one that’s not needed at this point but I feel it should be a boost for them to get back in their feet quickly and safely, now they'll have to focus on two tournaments which is the UCL and the Serie A league, winning both tournaments would be a tough one for them, however finishing top four in the Serie A tournament is very necessary and that should be their aim currently, cause I doubt if they'll be able to defend the Scudetto. |

This shouldn't be considered surprising for anyone if they followed his records set in the Premier League every season before leaving for Bundesliga.
This is a player that scored 20+ goals for Tottenham Hotspur every season for Tottenham Hotspur in the last six seasons. I don't even see him chasing no record, he's busy doing what he does best for his club. Succeeding as a center forward for Bayern Munich shouldn't be one difficult thing. It'll be easy for any food striker to score goals because they have very good and pacy winger's. ( Gnabry, Sane and the french man and World Cup winner Kingsley Koeman ) they be making creativity and assisting Harry Kane.
I so think they need more creativity and productivity in midfied, I hope to also see some players who are eager for that. Either of Goreztka or Kimmich needs to leave the club.
Congratulations to Thomas Muller, he doesn't seem like a player growing old but younger.
Harry Kane is one of the many prolific England striker and he’s proved himself in the EPL over 4-6 consecutive seasons. We know how crazy it can get in English League but yet, Harry Kane doesn’t find it difficult to succeed and bang in the goals, and there's a big possibility that he could get up to 20+ goals this season and even become one of the best strikers to have played in the Bundesliga. Now at Bayern, it’s not much a stress or one difficult task to do as the League’s pace is quite reduced compared to the English League. So Kane is bound to succeed especially with wingers such as Gnarby and Sane who are bery fast with the feet and ball. Now Muller is one wonder who keeps getting old in age but young while on the ball and that’s one positive thing added to this Bayern Side. |

I don't have any fear about that game between Arsenal and Porto because, Arsenal are capable to win that game to qualify for quarter finals and they are ready to challenge any team that will face them in the quarter finals and they will surely get victory from them to qualify for UEFA champions league final. Porto don't have a talented players like the talented players Arsenal coach signed in this summer and, they have showed some good results to the whole world that will make them to beat Porto 4:1 for the favour of Arsenal to carry more boldness in their remaining games.
If you see Arsenal results in many competitions this season, you will know that Porto will not be allow to use home advantage to draw this game with Arsenal because their coach is a type of person that know how to use another strong player to replace the one that is weak in the field to ensure his team succeed at the end.
One of the fixtures for the UCL round of 16 between Arsenal and Porto is more of an average probable game. Both teams are likely to win. Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too. Porto themselves aren't doing so bad in their league and they've got good track record in the group stage, and I believe they would give Arsenal a tough fight. Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still, and they're the most favorite to qualify for the next round. |

They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The next half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too
Ajax has performed quite well in the last 5 matches. They were able to achieve 4 wins and one draw. This is a very good result after their poor performance some time ago. If they continue to be consistent in maintaining this kind of performance, I am sure they will be able to finish even in second place at the end of the season. PSV has been too extraordinary this season. I think they are the only club in Europe's top big league that has wiped out all the wins without drawing or losing. No one doubts they will lift the Eredivise trophy this season. The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too. For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too. They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The next half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too. |

I meant having osimhen or roney will NOT solve the problem owned by chelsea. We do know so well if the main problem was on how difficult the club to scoring. Chelsea has some strikers but these strikers lack of experience. They don't even know how to get a good positioning during the game.
They are being so wasteful with any chances. I have seen it many times if there was no striker once its winger was sending the ball. I think that chelsea shall stop to waste more money. The club needs to make sure they can fix the main problem.
The blues got a very good achievement after it was beating newcastle through penalty. Newcastle has officially out from carabao cup after it was also out of UCL as well. This is not a good season for newcastle.
The blues need to hear some suggestions before trying to get a new striker. The current striker was so garbage and we can't deny that. Jackson and broja have very poor performance.
Chelsea needs to fix the main problem, and that is on the chemistry between the players. The blues needs to find the problem first.
Chelsea currently are in a situation where they're just shaky in performance. They're not even consistent positively and they've got lots of work to do. They're not in the top 10 spots of the EPL this season and it's very much bad because they were once a team that was dreaded in the leagues. They've had better performances in past seasons than they do now. At this moment, their victories are more or less tagged as a lucky run through. Congratulations to them on their advancement to the semi finals of the EFL cup yesterday from their penalty shoot out victory over Newcastle. It was a lucky win from a later equalizer and really the fault of the Chelsea side are general. Up till now, the club doesn't have a standing first squad, the coach keeps experimenting strategies at the expense of the clubs progress in the league. I don't know if they'll be able to meet up the top 4 spot by the end of the season but they really just have to, if not it'll mean two seasons without an appearance at European tournaments. |

The of Luis Enrique's arrival provide a slight change and now PSG is facing quite tough competition in the Champions League in particular. The problem is not the number of star players they have because if this was the case we could see when Lionel Messi, Neymar, Ramos and several other great players were there. But even they also failed to compete in the Champions League and what PSG needs to do is build a stronger squad collectively.
Don't expect to instantly get a trophy in the Champions League by relying on quality players. Management needs to give Luis Enrique time to improve the existing squad and may need several other players as support, so that Luis Enrique can combine players with each other. If that is done then I am sure that in the future PSG will be successful slowly because nothing is actually instant.
Enrique's PSG has in it players that are good at their field of play and the team entirely has got better chances at trophies. Even though their performances totally have not been fully extra impressive, at least they're able to show their level and worth on the pitch. They like other good teams in other leagues have advanced to the last 16 stage of the UCL contest and very much likely that they'd put up a fierce contest. They've got the higher probability of advancing even though to some extent, their opponent for this round is also an improved side. The advancement phases are not meant to be an easy bypass and so it's out them in a point where they've got to strive hard to come out victorious too and if possible lift the trophy this season. Luis Enrique is definitely eager to do this job for the French side. |

Last season, Sevilla performed very well in the Europa League and they managed to win the championship trophy, but thanks to this victory, Sevilla this season was not able to perform so well.
Many people regret what happened to Sevilla this season and many people are disappointed with Sevilla performance this season which has decreased quite significantly.
And of course they have the opportunity to become one of the teams that will be relegated if there is no development or improvement in performance to become better in the future.
And if Sevilla is relegated then they really have to start from the bottom, they have to be able to rise from the lower competitions to be able to return to La Liga and compete in big competitions.
Now there is still quite lot of time for the remaining teams and they can play in the last 16 or play-offs.
The match will start after the transfer window closes, precisely in mid-February, this is very possible to provide agreed time for all teams to be able to improve the quality of their respective performances.
We will see new name for this season Europa League champions.
Sevilla this season have not lived up to expectation. They're more less far behind their usual range in seasons before. Then, they've even been opportune to stay in the UEL and even lift the trophy but currently, they're at a point where relegation is possible for them which is very bad for a big team, they need to sit up and start doing better to avoid relegation. Just using them as a case study as there are other teams like them in other leagues. It's believed that this coming week would be the last lap of the first half of the season and there'll be positive or negative changes to the squad and performances of the team. Maybe the change would effect a positive impact or maybe not but we hope to see what these teams unfold in their second half of the season after the January transfer window. The league races would definitely take a different turn for most teams |

It is true that the roles of Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland are very important in the squad, but Pep Guardiola knows what he has to do to overhaul his squad in this match and he has to really get used to staying focused on other players if Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland are absent because injured, so Pep Guardiola already knows which reserve players will be used. In the world of football, if you only rely on 1 or 2 players, it will not be possible to be successful in the future and of course it still requires teamwork to continue to develop well. That way, if one day one of the main players is absent, of course the other players can still make a good contribution to the squad to achieve victory.
I am also sure that Manchester City will definitely be more focused on facing their opponents in the remaining matches to achieve victory in the next match, so that they can continue to compete with Arsenal and Liverpool to win first place at the top of the standings or become champions of the English League this season.
The partnership of Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland last season was very impressive, went Haaland arrived Manchester City it was as if he's found his missing piece, playing together as teammates, but this season I noticed that Haaland performance dropped despite the fact that he's still found the back of the net multiple times, but if KDB was not injured I think Haaland goal would had been more or double the amount of goals he's score currently. I think things are gradually becoming tough for Pep this season and needs to do everything possible to make sure they don't drop due to the absent of their key players, when De Bruyne got injured it really affected them a little but now their striker is injured, it might become difficult for them to score goals, well I trust Pep Guardiola to develop a good strategy that would sustain them from losing without Haaland, now one of the attackers have to play as a false 9, Alvarez or silva. |

In the transfer market last summer, there was a lot of speculation and news about big clubs wanting Osimhen. But in the transfer market yesterday, the Napoli club set a very high transfer price for Osimhen. I forgot how much it was, but after the club set the transfer price for Osimhen, since then all the clubs that reportedly wanted Osimhen started to back off and didn't dare make an offer. And it's possible that Aurelio De Laurentiis as owner of Napoli will make the same strategy so that Osimhen is not approached by other clubs who want to recruit him.
But I personally also hope that Osimhen moves from Napoli. Because I don't like clubs that don't really respect their players. I saw the news that there was a stir about Osimhen's conflict with the Napoli club. And I think at that moment Osimhen's pride must have been hurt. But I also can't blame the entire Napoli club in this case. Because I think it is the work of an irresponsible staff member. Because before this incident I had heard that Osimhen would not be in a hurry to leave Napoli. He probably dreams of playing in the EPL. But it looks like that's not in the near future. At least that's what I gathered from Osimhen's conversation at that time. But I don't know what Osimhen's attitude is now after several conflicts that occurred there. Is it still in its original position or has it changed?
I'm very impressed how the Napoli board pulled fine stunt to keep their star player in the team for a few more season, they're fully aware that Osimhen is a popular demand and they could lose him if nothing is done and that's why they increased his release clause to fend off bidders coming for his demand and now if he's to leave Napoli are ready to sell him to a very serious bidder and for a high price, well since his clause has been increased I think they'll be demanding for about €180 or more if I'm not mistaken. Well that's a very huge amount for one player and there are only few clubs that could afford that amount, however for Napoli to fend off bidders it means Osimhen is very valuable to them and need him to be there for a while until they find a suitable player for his replacement. I also feel Osimhen should leave Napoli asides being disrespect he needs to go to a club that would offer him an opportunity of winning a major trophy. |

Salernitana has no good gameplay against atalanta. I think that if this is the result that must be accepted by salernitana. It doesn't even matter how hard salernitana tried to beat atalanta but i think that if we are comparing both of clubs and salernitana was far behind atalanta. As a club that is placing at the relegation zone and this is a very bad result. Salernitana keeps very consistent to lose more points. It will put the situation of salernitana will not able to change. Salernitana must have done win streak to leave from the relegation zone.
This is too good to be true to happen with one of worst team in the serie a. It seems like we can decide the future of this club. Salernita will be relegated. Salernitana is not playing so badly.
It was able getting 48% ball possessions but the attacking line seemed to be the main trouble owned by salernitana. Staying in serie a few a few years are good achievement by this club but salernitana is likely going back again to the lower division.
This is going to give a huge impact to the financial condition from the team. Salernitana will receive less money from playing in the lower league compared to the serie a. This is a set back for salernitana.
Congrats for atalanta by getting three points against weak team. People should not even do analysis to determine the winner.
Salernitana have the worst performance in the Serie A this season, the chances of them escaping relegation is very slim and for them to do that, a lot of hard work is supposed to be put in, which I don't see them doing, well the heavy lose at home against Atlanta didn't come as a surprise to me cause of their poor performance this season whereas Atlanta is really trying to get into the top four. Before the match against Atlanta, Salernitana lost against Bologna and even conceded a red card, making them shot of one key starter for face Atlanta, they were the least favorite in that match and I even picked Atlanta to win but I didn't believe the score line would be that much, Salernitana has lost three straight matches and I think more are yet to come cause they'll be playing against Milan in their next fixture. |

But after all it is a fairly fatal carelessness which of course I think it is natural for fans to be disappointed which results in the emergence of doubts about the team they love, but maybe yes it is true that the fans should not continue to bring up the bad results because after all I think it is something that can still be said to be quite normal to happen to a team that is running the competition, it will not always be at the top but there will also be times when they occasionally feel bad results due to carelessness.
Maybe this is not a big problem for Tuchel and lately we have also seen in their last match Bayern Munich managed to get three full points in the match against Stuttgart which of course maybe that result can slightly restore the confidence of the fans, and yes after all it is true that Bayern Munich still has a pretty good chance of winning the trophy, their only barrier is Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Well maybe the cause of this carelessness is because they find it difficult to divide the focus on two leagues which are of course equally important, not only the Bundesliga but the UCL is also a priority for Tuchel.
It is normal for fans to get emotional when their team is not performing well, especially when their team is the favourite to win a match and they fail to deliver, they begin to find fault and would even go to the extent of calling out players and backlashing them on social media, just like most United fans did to Harry Maguire last season. I think all those abuse and back lash of coaches and players by fans is not really necessary cause it could help kill the confidence level of the team. In football, no matter how big a team is, they'll also encounter hard times, but i think the Munich fans should keep calm and trust the procces, Bayern Munich is not a small team, the lose against Frankfurt is not the end of the road for them, i still think they're the potential winners of this season's competition despite the fact that Leverkusen is above them currently and is a treat for the title race, but they'll bounce back and stronger. |

If you are so confident about Bayern Munich who have lost several important points in the previous match. Why can you be so sure that Leverkusen will not experience the same thing when entering the second half of the season? The only humiliating defeat suffered by Bayern Munich was when they were beaten by Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, while the other two were in other competitions, namely RB Leipzig in the Super Cup and defeated by Saarbrucken in the Local DFB.
Bayern Munich's performance is not bad in the Bundesliga and they are still one of Leverkusen's strong challengers. Harry Kane has made several individual achievements at Bayern Munich and he has also provided quite positive results for the club. We want to see the competition for the title become more competitive and apart from Leverkusen, perhaps we also hope that the teams in the top five of the standings can provide tough competition.
Bayern Munich have suffered defeats in almost all competitions this season but I still have confidence that Leverkusen won’t go through same phase because when you see this Bayern Munich squad it seems the strength and pace we traditionally know them for has been reduced and that's something they need to work on by blustering their squad more in the upcoming transfer window. Leverkusen will be cruising home with at least 2 trophies this season because they’ve got quite a young team that understands each other and play to win every match. Though injury is one factor that could change the whole scenario, Bayern Munich are the only challenge Leverkusen will be having for the league title and no long talk, Bayern Munich might not be able to stop this Leverkusen side |

The group stage of the UEFA Champions League competition is over and Europe's biggest club competition will make a return in February next year which will give Real Madrid enough time to fight for the top spot of the Spanish La Liga. Girona has surprisingly been the most consistent team in the league this season even when they don't have a much quality players like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and are very determined to finish the season with the Spanish La Liga title.
Real Madrid's only problem since the start of the season is the fact that they failed to sign a recognized top striker last summer after their former captain Karim Benzema left the club but with the formation that's been adopted by the club manager Carlo Ancelotti, I'm very optimistic that the Spanish giants are gonna reclaim top spot before February that the UEFA Champions League competition will return. Jude Bellingham who has been the club's most important player since the start of the season isn't an injury prone player and doesn't look like who's going to suffer fatique anytime soon. By the time the UCL returns next year, the favourites to win the Spanish La Liga title might be narrowed down to two or at maximum three clubs and I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will be one of them.
Yes, Real Madrid are one team that will be wanting to secure the league this season and yes, they are having a difficult time this season due to injuries but with the break from the UCL it’ll give them a good run for the league title and help them secure their spot well on top of the league, yes these Girona is one team trailing them but I think they won’t have the strength to match Real Madrid especially in terms of quality players and squad depth. The La Liga big boys didn’t get a striker during summer but they got Jude who has stood up as a striker and an attacking midfielder when called upon amd he’s being doing the job so well, With Real Madrid maintaining winning streaks I think they’ll be taking the league home and would have a huge success in the UCL when it resumes. |

Talking about the match Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid if i am not mistaken both managers has playing together at Lazio when they were still active as players so this is a reunion between old friends and this is interesting because Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid was never met before at official tournaments so this is their first meeting at champion league and i have to says the match is hard to predicted because both teams is equally strong and during group stages they also very solid Atletico Madrid even has successfully to being an group champion
If we compared the recent performance between these teams at their domestic league obviously Inter Milan was more better than Atletico Madrid this because Inter Milan was unstoppable at Serie A and Inter Milan even can able to occupies first place on league standings and they also as last season finalist and for the first leg Inter Milan will playing as a host and based on the odds which i have seen recently Inter Milan is the favourite and Atletico Madrid as underdog status so lets see it later which team who can able to beat their opponent and advances to quarterfinal but i was thinking the opposite than you that my prediction for first leg is Inter Milan will be able to beat Atletico Madrid
Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are scheduled to face off in the round of 16 of the UCL. Judging both teams, they're good in their leagues. Even though Inter are at the top of their league whilst Atletico aren't, both teams still have the capacity to make the game fierce for themselves. Both managers are good too and have got experiences too and their squad are good in their own separate ways. The game would be fierce, predicting a winner would be difficult and definitely both team odds are high. For their domestic leagues, Inter are still on top and there's not really much threats because they're able to subdue other teams even though the games are sometimes tough especially for Juventus following them closely, they've got a work to do to stay on top of they really want to lift the trophy. For Atletico, they've got 3 teams ahead, so their struggle will only be to finish in the top 3/4 spot because currently they've not gotten any glimpse at the trophy and I doubt that the teams ahead of them will give them the leisure. |

Yesterday was really a feast of football.We saw a lot of goals in the matches and frankly they were all exciting.Twente failed to defeat Rotterdam who were down to 10 men. In the 45th minute Rotterdam, who were down to 10 men, managed to hold on to the match with goals from penalties in the second half.Twente could have even won the match if they hadn't managed to score in the last minute.
Feyenoord managed to beat their opponent Heracles with 4 goals away from home.We cannot say that the opponent was not very effective.Despite being away, Feyenoord dominated the match and won a comfortable victory.
Ajax started to recover slowly.Ajax hosted PEC Zwolle at home.Ajax managed to go 2-0 ahead with Brobbey's goals and left the match with a draw.They had a chance to win the match but they could not take advantage of it.It would have been better for them if they had won this match.Losing points in these matches is a bad result for them if they want to finish in the top 3.
In the most important match of the day, PSV, the favorite candidate of the championship, almost showered AZ Alkmaar with goals.PSV, who did not even give the opponent the opportunity to play, managed to win the match with a very beautiful football.PSV, who increased the difference to 3 in 16 minutes, did not give the opponent any opportunity.We can easily say that AZ Alkmaar played as if they were playing away throughout the match.
The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too. For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too. They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The next half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too |

Lewandowski definitely still wants to play in big competitions like the Champions League with Barcelona. So he will definitely not rush to move to any team when he currently has a good opportunity to play in the Champions League. Every European player always wants to play in the Champions League. Even some players who are in clubs that are relegated in their domestic leagues always move to better clubs that have a chance of getting into the Champions League. I think Lewandowski does too. He definitely still wants to play and achieve many things at his age, which is no longer young. 35 years old is actually not that old compared to Luka Modric at Real Madrid who is 38 years old. So I think Lewandowski will still be able to play European football for at least another 2 or 3 years. But I agree that this season Lewandowski is really not as good as in the previous season at Barcelona. And I personally still want to see more top European players in the Arab League, but the problem is that not all players want to come here.
The good thing for top European players who come to the Arab League is that their popularity doesn't seem to be decreasing even though the Arab League is still considered not a big league. It looks like even more countries are now fighting over broadcast rights for the SPL. And as the SPL becomes more famous, I think European players will start to think less about moving to the SPL.
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, and even though he doesn't offer what Ronaldo offers, he's got alot of experience to offer. 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. |
