Mercedes had three weeks to draw some conclusions and try to reduce the gap in the race pace. On the other hand, this is not such a significant period to do something epoch-making. In any case, Red Bull's adviser Helmut Marko, who has a huge influence on the team, said that Mercedes will continue to fight in any case as long as there are at least some mathematical chances of this. Another question is what some experts saw in Hamilton's order to let Bottas go ahead in the last race, because he has a faster racing pace, as a hint that Mercedes is no longer betting on the title in the personal championship, but is shifting the focus to winning the Constructors ' Cup.

It's just that the Arsenal management was quite satisfied that with a certain budget, not the most huge by the standards of the league, but not so small, Arsene Wenger still kept the team's game at a certain level and even sometimes achieved titles. The English Premier League is a very strong league and to constantly achieve results here it is not enough to have one super-level player. We need constant work in the transfer market and the desire to invest huge amounts of money, which is not a priority of the current American owner of the team. Therefore, I am not sure that Pep Guardiola would have gone to Arsenal with such an attitude of the management to the club, and even more so for ten years, given that Guardiola does not seem to like to stay in one place of work for a very long time.

Just England scored a quick goal and started playing to hold the score, giving the initiative to Italy and it was due to this that the advantage of Italy was formed according to statistical indicators. Southgate miscalculated with his bet on keeping the score, because when Italy equalized, England no longer had any arguments on how to change the game and tip the scales in their favor. I also didn't like that the head coach of the England national team entrusted the decisive blow to such a young player as Saka. Pickford did everything possible for his part to bring his team a victory in the penalty shootout, but those players whom Southgate released specifically for the penalty shootout and who obviously specially prepared for this series, still could not justify their hopes and did not score.

In any case, some work on the part of the agent in this direction is carried out in any case and under any circumstances, especially in the current times of the epidemic, when the financial condition of many rich clubs has been shaken and not the clubs are ready to pay the previous salaries to their leaders. Moreover, it is necessary to realize that we do not have all the complete information on this issue and this information is only brought to us in fragments only as rumors. I agree that the situation with such transfers is not solved in three days, but this does not deny that work in this direction can go on for more than three days, but we simply do not know anything about it.

Of course, neither Ronaldo nor Messi in their current state will agree to sit on the bench, because they still feel the strength and desire to continue playing at a high level. If you remember, for example, at the time of the leadership of Sorry Juventus as a head coach, Ronaldo generally caused a scandal at the club when Sarri replaced him during the match. I think that there are other clubs in the Premier League besides Paris Saint-Germain who would agree to the transfer of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, despite their age. Of course, any top club wants to have strong young players for the future, but in such clubs the result is needed immediately, so very often young promising players are sent on loan to other clubs so that they gain experience and skill there.

My big congratulations to the Italian national team on winning EURO 2020! Italy deserved this victory with their level of play and dedication, but I still preferred that the victories in such important tournaments were won in the main or, at least, extra time, rather than in a penalty shootout, which spoils the impression a little. Because the winner of the penalty shootout gets all the glory and honor, and the losers remain on the sidelines, despite the fact that they very often were almost as good as the winners. England could not finally win their first European Championship, but still made a big step forward, finally getting to the final of the tournament. Mancini has done an excellent job in his post by making a champion of a team that recently experienced a crisis and could not qualify for the World Cup. Also, the fusion of youth and experience of the Italian team, which did not give up, conceding a goal at the very beginning and equalized the score, and then won, deserves wonderful words.

It seems that Barcelona has settled all the issues with La Liga on the salary cap and La Liga has allowed Barcelona to register a contract. Messi also instructed his father Jorge Messi to negotiate an agreement and he reached an agreement with the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta. By the way, it seems that none of the sponsors has suspended cooperation with the football player, despite some uncertainty in his future career. There was also information that Barcelona is not going to sell Griezmann and is quite happy with his game, and the player himself does not express any intentions to change the team in this transfer window.

Yes, this will really be a new word in the long-established Formula 1 racing system and it will be interesting to see how all this will look and whether the innovation will take root in the racing calendar, because the innovation also has opponents, such as the head of the Mercedes team. Also, Lewis Hamilton expressed his skeptical attitude, who is not sure that the spectacle will be exciting and there will be a large number of overtaking. However, you should not rush to evaluate in advance and preliminary conclusions can be made only when it finally takes place. In the end, everything is done for the sake of the audience and the opinion of the audience will certainly be decisive.

I think that Dortmund would be happy to leave a player like Haaland for some more time to try to find a worthy replacement for his position, but if there is a really impressive amount, the club will sell the player, as it has already happened many times. According to the latest information, the head coach of Chelsea in London, Tuchel, appealed to the club's management with a request to buy Haaland already in this summer window. I think that the activation of Chelsea in this direction may force other applicants for the player to also step up their efforts and the deal will really be able to take place in the near future.

Yes, I am also interested in how this situation with Ronaldo will be resolved. I think that everything will be decided by the economic situation at Juventus and whether the club is able to pay wages to such an expensive player. Also, a lot depends on the desire of the player himself, because in addition to rumors about Ronaldo's desire to change the club at the end of the season, new information about the desire of the player himself has not been received. However, recently slipped information about the fact that the player's agent allegedly offered the club to extend the contract, and the club asked for time to think, indirectly may indicate that Ronaldo still decided to stay at Juventus.

It's just that some people, on the contrary, earn a lot of money precisely because they are evil, ruthless to their neighbor, have not the best moral principles and nothing can be done about it if it happened completely within the law. Also, do not forget that everything in this world is relative and it is not always possible to say with great confidence where the border lies between thrift and greed, good and evil. Much also depends on the cultural attitudes of the society in which we live, a specific time, a specific country and region. In different places and cultures, the same things can be both approved and condemned.

It's just that the time for transferring to another country has already been lost, and the excessive confidence of the Japanese authorities and the International Olympic Committee last year played a role, that the transfer to this year will solve all the problems with the pandemic by itself. As we can see, the pandemic continues and states are not yet able to fully cope with this problem even with the availability of vaccines. New dangerous coronavirus mutations continue to appear. Also, do not forget about public opinion in Japan, which is clearly not in favor of holding the Olympic Games. It's just that the decision has already been made, the funds for training have already been spent and we should already come to terms with this fact.

It's just that Arsenal does not want to invest in strengthening the squad above a certain limit, and in the conditions of the super-competitive English Premier League, this is an iron necessity for a steady conquest of titles. Everything depends on the figure of the club owner, who is quite satisfied with the current situation and who does not want to change the situation with financing, nor shows any desire to sell the club to interested parties. If you remember, for some time the creator of Spotify expressed a desire to buy the club, having managed to attract such club legends as Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Viyera to his side, but the American owner Stan Kroenke did not want to sell the club.

In theory, Manchester City should be much more focused on the Kane deal. I think it will be a big mistake for Barcelona to sell Griezmann, like the mistake when Luis Suarez was sold, but the situation with Messi's contract may force the club to do this to fulfill the financial conditions of La Liga. Also, do not forget about the rumors talking about the contacts of Manchester City with the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo. It is unlikely that all three transfers can take place in reality, and it is also worth considering the opinion of Pep Guardiola on all this. However, the inclusion of other Manchester City players in the Kane deal may change the configuration of the squad and the transfer goals of the club.

If a player shows a good game, then there will be a lot of bidders for the purchase and, accordingly, a large price, because we get an analog of an auction, so some overpayment is inevitable. Especially in super clubs, you need a result here and now and there is no time to fine-tune a player to the right conditions, so a fairly common story for top clubs is buying a player and immediately renting it out just for the purpose of fine-tuning. In the situation with Eden Hazard, a big role was played by the great traumatism of the player, although earlier this was not observed for him at Chelsea, and in the situation with Bale, there was simply no necessary human approach to the player.

I think that at the beginning of the match, we should not expect total dominance of any of the teams, because the stakes are too high and no one wants an unjustified risk. There is also a high probability that there will be few goals from one team, because in the 21st century only one team scored in the EURO finals and in three out of four cases the match score was 1-0. Although if one of the teams opens the score, there may be a situation that the other team will have to take more risks in attack and get another goal in the counterattack. The England national team generally concedes very little at this tournament and this "little" is only one goal, but Italy attacks quite well and England can concede more.

I still think that Barcelona will find ways to keep Messi, because too much was at stake and Laporta won the club's presidency, including with a promise to keep Messi at the club, and the player himself, unlike last year, has already expressed a desire to stay at the club, although of course the situation is already starting to drag on too much. I would also like to see Messi in another championship with pleasure and see how quickly he could fit into the playing patterns of another club and how successfully he did it. On the one hand, the English Premier League is now much more statuesque than the French championship, but on the other hand, I think that it would be easier for Messi with his style of play to play in France.

Such super clubs as Real Madrid are used to buying ready-made players for the sake of quick results, although at times this can play a cruel joke on them By the way, there is information that the head coach of Roma, Jose Mourinho, wants to see Marcelo in the squad and will try to persuade the Brazilian to move to his club, especially since they already worked together from 2010 to 2013. Therefore, Real Madrid can remain without Marcelo, despite his seemingly advanced age Although I think that 33 years is not such a big age for a defender in modern times. As for Mbappe, it seems that Real Madrid would like to wait until 2022 to get the player for free.

On the other hand, it can also interfere because of excessive excitement in front of their native stands, because let's not forget that the England national team has never won the European Championship, unlike the Italian national team, and the responsibility is very high. The Italian national team also does not want to miss its chance, so it is difficult to name a clear favorite in the upcoming match. Moreover, in my personal opinion, the tournament grid of Italy was stronger than that of the English national team, so I would give a slight preference to Italy in strength. In any case, everything will be decided in one match and anything can happen, and this Euro 2020 has already given us a lot of incredible scenarios.

If we add here the information that Paris Saint-Germain is also in contact with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent, then a funny picture emerges that PSG is present everywhere in the transfer market However, it is absolutely not necessary to have a lot of money for all potential transfers, because potential interest does not necessarily mean a deal at all. Indeed, according to the current transfer rumors, it may seem that the Arab scheikhov from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have a much more stable financial situation than many other European giants who are forced to limit transfers or even sell players. Therefore, I think that Barcelona can really sell Griezmann in order to fulfill the financial conditions of La Liga.
