It looks like Mbappe will still be a center forward because Madrid needs a player like Mbappe even though he could be a LW or RW striker option but for me it would be more effective if Mbappe continues to be placed at center forward because LW and RW already have Vinic and Rodrygo who are always ready to attack Sharp helps Mbappe get bigger scores in every match.
and the reason I say that Mbappe will be more appropriate in the center forward position is because usually Madrid has a characteristic of attacking in various directions when they have difficulty beating the opponent and now with Mbappe arrival, Ancelotti will no longer worry when Vinic is always given obstacles when he wants to score, there is still Mbappe who is ready to become a target for scoring from the center attacker.

as a Madrid fan, I also really support if Joselu will be retained, even though he will be a reserve player, he is really like a complementary player for Madrid who can always play a role in various positions and he is one of the players who helped Madrid to win the UCL title when competing in the semi final yesterday's and hopefully the hope of maintaining it can come true because I'm sure Ancelotti also really needs this player to win another title next season.

top teams will not always be able to get what they want and will always have the biggest problems when the team gets the wrong player or coach and that happened to Bayern Munich who had dominated the bundesliga but in the end got into this problem when they made decisions too quickly, bringing in the wrong coach had a negative impact on Munich performance.
this is a reminder to all bundesliga teams and even reminds all European teams that when bringing in a coach they have to be really careful so that it doesn't have a bad impact like Munich, which is very embarrassing as a top team and is called a bundesliga giant team that has to lose its reputation after making Tuchel as a coach could not manage Munich well and wasted a big opportunity after Kane arrival.

choosing Vincent Kompany as Tuchel replacement is actually not the right choice for all football observers, but for Munich it is the right choice because there is something we don't know that gives Munich confidence.
we'll see next season whether Vincent Kompany can make a difference to Munich, but for me maybe the start of the season will be a little less good.

in other words, Madrid is a dream team for star players or other talented players who always want to join this team to gain great experience and achieve very high achievements while in football and it is not surprising that Mbappe has long wanted to join with Madrid, it's just that there were several problems that made him wait a long time and finally he is now officially a Madrid player.
the biggest motivation is that Madrid can always be closer to the UCL title and a player who can contribute to this competition is one of the big challenges that must be achieved and produce success in the future and this is a source of pride for talented players like Mbappe who want to continue exploring his career before entering old age.

free transfers are one of the advantages of Madrid without having to pay high costs to redeem these players, but Madrid can get reliable striker candidates who will later strengthen Madrid attack line and I always believe in Madrid who will continue to have success at the end of the season and now with the arrival of Mbappe like getting a guaranteed treble winner title in the following season.

this is very reasonable if the increase in participants can interfere with the energy or physicality of players who have to exert more energy when the match schedule is busier, but I believe that even though there will be an increase in participants in the UCL, the match schedule will still be arranged fairly and the coaches will rotate the players as best as possible to maintain the stability of their performance and we know how Ancelotti is always successful in rotating players fairly so that the performance of the main players can always be better when appearing in the UCL.
IMO, the biggest problem or surprise that occurred was not the addition of UCL participants but the surprise of a main player who suffered a serious injury and that's when the surprise occurred.

well, from all that we really can't predict everything because this is football that hasn't started yet and we can only speculate and when a fan really believes in his favorite team, I think that's natural and even I still have confidence if additional participants don't will affect Madrid performance and will remain the favorite team to hold the UCL title.

IMO, De Rossi has studied all the characters of the Roma players and in terms of bringing Roma to good achievements in every competition, I think it may take a long time and I hope that De Rossi doesn't need to think about winning too many titles, just focus on competing strongly in European league competitions to get the title in this competition because this is a very good opportunity because there are no more teams that look strong like Sevilla, Atalanta, Leverkusen and Liverpool who are already competing in the UCL and Roma must take advantage of this opportunity well.
If De Rossi can take advantage of this situation I think he will get better achievements and become confident to make a bigger contribution to Roma in the future.

BTW, I haven't followed the development of Roma attack line since last season finished and is there any news regarding Lukaku loan period ending and who will be Lukaku replacement?
I think this is a tough task for De Rossi because he has to find a replacement for Lukaku who has equal talent to continue to strengthen Roma attack line and achieve even higher achievements.

recruiting Hiroki Ito as one of the new players that Kompany has high hopes for will help make a contribution to strengthening Bayern Munich defense and previously I also said that Bayern Munich does not need to make many changes to the Munich line up and only needs to change a few players defender to correct the mistakes of last season when Tuchel was still coach of Munich.
and what I said is coming true now even though Kompany is doubted by most fans, but he knows what he has to do and this is one of the first proofs that he has great enthusiasm to bring Munich to lead the Bundesliga again.

as I said before, if there must be changes to the defense line that Munich has because of a strong attack line, you will not get satisfactory results if the defense line is not able to withstand pressure from the opponent and Kompany will provide a new line of players in the defense line and maintain the attack line without Kompany will reshuffle the players and it is possible that there will be several new defenders who will be recruited by Kompany but it is not yet certain who these players will be.

TBH, even though many people have expressed their belief that Arsenal will be successful in getting the EPL title in the coming season, I would really appreciate it, but for me, it will not be easy for Arsenal to get the EPL title as long as Man City is still very consistent in this EPL competition.
another reason can be seen from the mentality of the players who play an important role in a team getting a title in this EPL and for a long time Arsenal have always been close to getting the title but have always lost the consistency they once had and if we all look at Arsenal performance 2 seasons ago it can be seen It is very convincing to be able to get the title because since the start of the season they have been able to perform consistently, but the bad thing is that when Arsenal loses once, this team will lose several times in a row and lose too many points.

what I have always observed from the last 2 seasons is that it seems like Arsenal is not ready to be a leader in the EPL and we'll see what Arsenal will provide and my guess is that Arsenal will still be the same as last season with strong consistency but when they lose consistency once, after that you will get consecutive defeats and then at the end of the season you will bounce back but have lost your chance to win the EPL title.

joining Madrid has been Mbappe dream for a long time and most people who like European football already understand what Mbappe will aim for in the future to achieve his dream of appearing with Madrid, utilizing his talent for a career at Santiago Bernabeu.
this dream had been planned for a long time and Madrid actually had plans to recruit him at that time but there was a big problem when Mbappe joined PSG and a lot of drama happened which forced Madrid to be patient in waiting for his arrival and the best choice for Madrid and Mbappe just waiting for Mbappe contract to expire to be able to escape from the bonds of the PSG drama and now Mbappe is officially part of Madrid to pursue his dream of becoming Ronaldo successor.

Mbappe joining Madrid has been one of the big news, creating a lot of discussion between positive and negative, but Madrid fans have a broader idea that Mbappe will be well received when he joins Madrid because this team is a professional team without any selfishness between players and supports each other for the sake of improving a good future for Madrid and I am sure that Mbappe will achieve very big achievements with Madrid just like Ronaldo.
some people say this will create problems for the existing attack line because Vinic and Rodrygo will be a little dissatisfied with his arrival, but believe me Vinic and Rodrygo are very satisfied with the arrival of Mbappe and we will just see a small example of the arrival of Bellingham who received great support from Vinic and Rodrygo and even before Kross left, he was also very supportive of the new player.

this is a very normal condition when Liverpool fans only try to think positively about Liverpool future when Arne Slot is the new coach and to be honest, I myself am also a little doubtful whether Arne Slot is able to maintain the quality of Liverpool performance the same as when Klopp was still the coach of this team.
and indeed the experience is very different if we compare Klopp with Arne Slot but as a new coach he deserves to be given the opportunity to prove that he can give the best for Liverpool even though the results cannot be predicted, at least the start of the season will be initial proof of whether Arne Slot is worthy of being there. maintain it in the long term.

hoping to continue fighting in the Champions League is a dream for all teams in any league and even though Liverpool has a new coach, in terms of squad depth, this team still has very reliable quality players and several mainstay players still remain to continue to help Liverpool get a prestigious title.
Arne Slot only needs a little way to maintain this because in terms of players, Liverpool are already very high quality and only need high consistency to compete in the EPL and in the UCL.

this time, Girona seems to be in a serious situation and has very high goals to continue to bring in high quality players who can help the team produce greater results and this is done because Girona will appear in the UCL next season so they are trying to make an offer to Krejci.
Krejci is only a defender, but if you look deeper, he is actually more suited to being a midfielder who can provide assistance to strikers to score and his achievements really exceed those of defenders who usually always focus on defending the defense line, but Krejci has skills which always helps the team to get a winning score.

€12 million is not something big and is commensurate with the talent that the player has and it could still very easily be a good investment in the future and I think Girona should immediately formalize Krejci as a Girona player because if not, there will definitely be another big team which will give you a bigger offer.
I imagine that when Girona becomes stronger after bringing in quality players, La Liga competition will definitely get tougher and Barcelona might also come under a little pressure.

IMO, Dortmund will not be on the list for the Bundesliga title in the next season because Edin Terzic departure will have a big impact on Dortmund performance and on the one hand, I actually choose Stuttgart who will be the next challenger because we all know that Stuttgart still has Guirassy who is very reliable to continue to get points in every match even though it seems strange to say that Stuttgart will be a competitor to Bayern Munich and Leverkusen but in fact after the arrival of Guirassy, Stuttgart had success finishing in second place displacing Bayern Munich.

and regarding the tougher competition that Leverkusen will face, it might be a bit tough because the first time Xabi brought Leverkusen to the UCL, they were competing with other big teams, while Leverkusen performance in the bundesliga also had to be maintained because they had to be able to win the bundesliga title again.
Leverkusen in the next season is unlikely to achieve new achievements like last season which was undefeated and next season it looks like Leverkusen will have to experience even more defeats in the bundesliga because the UCL will definitely be more of a priority.

yep, because it will only be a waste even if you have very reliable star players in the attack line but if the defense line is very weak, a team will definitely not be able to compete in higher competitions like for example when PSG had a lot of very reliable attacking players before but the results are still very bad because the team cooperation is not balanced between the attack line and the defense line and I admit that PSG before losing Mbappe was very strong in the attack line but to be honest, the defense line was a little weak and that was proven when PSG appeared in the UCL last season.
I'm not saying that PSG has a bad defense, but it's just that PSG is always busy looking for reliable players for the attack line, but they don't see that the defense line also needs reliable players to provide better strength and be on par with the attack line and create solid strength.

regarding how PSG will be after losing Mbappe, for me it won't have any problems in League 1 and will remain the strongest team dominating the League 1 title, but to compete in other competitions like UCL, I doubt it.
It's quite easy to explain why most people will have doubts about their achievements in the next season in the UCL because PSG has always been used to a strong attack line and that was obtained from Mbappe contribution and now PSG doesn't have many choices.

very simple and also very meaningful.
logically, the quality of the team or more precisely the quality of the players is one of the main roles for the team that will win the UCL title and this only exists in a few big teams that already have experience of getting the UCL title, such as Madrid, Man City, Munich and other teams that have already won the UCL title experience.
but Madrid will be a priority in the UCL every season because in terms of player quality, almost all the players are very experienced and have extraordinary talent and also Madrid has the most achievements in the UCL, so even though there will be many teams entering the UCL zone, Madrid will not have it easy defeated because this team is one of the strongest teams in the UCL without exception.

for me, the addition of UCL participants will not affect the competition for big teams like Madrid because small teams that have just entered the UCL list only need experience and try their luck to get good results, but that doesn't mean they can beat Madrid and for me as a Madrid fan fully supports your opinion regarding the addition of UCL participant slots, which will only provide a new experience for Madrid to meet other small teams.

De Zerbi still looks young as a coach and the reason for him continuing to move to other leagues to gain more experience is to be recognized as an experienced coach and this is very normal for coaches who do not have much experience.
but I just think that if De Zerbi will officially become Marseille coach, actually it won't be a big challenge because in League 1 the competition is not too tough because it is always dominated by bigger teams and on the one hand it would be better if De Zerbi should accept offers from bigger and more popular leagues to get a better experience.
reason I say this is because previously De Zerbi was also linked with a team from another league which could provide more experience to the coach.

latest achievement with Birghton actually seems normal to me, not too bad, it's just that I understand from the results that Brighton got because the coach doesn't have much experience so he still needs a lot of experience to be able to set the right strategy for the team being coached and if so When De Zerbi officially becomes Marseille coach, it will be easier for him to make changes to the team.

there is no need to doubt that from previous experience, Thiago Motta was able to provide good achievements for Bologna, which is usually never able to get a ticket to the UCL, but last season Thiago Motta successfully contributed to Bologna finishing in fifth position to get a ticket to the UCL and that ticket became one of the best gifts for Bologna but unfortunately had to be abandoned by Thiago Motta and accepted an offer from Juventus.
from the quality of players, Juventus has higher players than Bologna and this means that this is not just a tough challenge for Thiago Motta because he only needs a few changes to improve Juventus performance and maintain the consistent stability of the players to welcome the next season and compete for the top of the standings.

from previous achievements, I believe that Thiago Motta will not disappoint Juventus fans and I will really support Juventus which will make competition in Serie A more competitive because it will definitely not be easy for Inter to get the Scudetto again and Juventus will return to its glory days again.

we can no longer compare Man United under the coaching of Sir Alex Ferguson and Ten Hag because the conditions were very different and Man United failure last season was understandable because several players were injured and not very productive, which was one of the reasons Man United failed to compete at the top.
we all have the same hope to see Man United without Ten Hag but he deserves to be given one last chance next season and I am sure that if Ten Hag succeeds in bringing in more quality players and selling players who are no longer productive, there will definitely be better improvements from last season.

regarding Xavi dismissal, it wasn't because Barcelona management was satisfied or not, but there was something being hidden from the public regarding the pros and cons of Xavi, who was initially going to leave but management retained him, but after Xavi decided to stay, he had to be fired without any reason and chose Hansi Flick as a replacement.
of course he is recognized as successful in bringing Barcelona to stay in the top 3 of the standings without quality players and that is one of the pure successes of Xavi intelligence and experience so far who has been with Barcelona able to explore the team's shortcomings and correct them very well so that Barcelona is able to get good consistency.
there is no need to doubt that last season Barcelona under Xavi still failed to compete with Madrid, while in the following season Madrid will have a pure striker who will become a scoring machine that is difficult to stop and the bad news is that we have to see Barcelona with the new coach competing with Madrid who very hard to beat.

what I said does not mean that I doubt Hansi Flick, but overall the new coach's experience is not that great and the heavy pressure that Hansi Flick will face when he has to rotate existing players without being able to bring in the players he wants, but at least we give Hansi Flick the opportunity to prove whether he deserves to be recognized as a great coach like Xavi.

even though I am a Madrid fan, I am very happy to read your reply, which is very wise in responding to the current hype and thinking more realistically.
I also admit that Mbappe is a very talented player, but that doesn't mean that his arrival makes Madrid very big, whereas without Mbappe, Madrid is still the strongest team that is always difficult to beat in the UCL because of their greater experience and can always be consistent in every match.
like last season's match when Madrid managed to win the UCL title, eliminating Man City, who previously beat Madrid without having a pure striker player, but in fact Madrid was still able to get this prestigious title.

Mbappe arrival does not mean giving the impression of Madrid performance being stronger, but only improving Madrid current line up and I say this because Madrid has always been a priority for candidates for the UCL title, it has been acknowledged that Madrid is the strongest team.

yep, I fully support your opinion regarding the badness of Arsenal who always fail to understand previous mistakes but there is a slight difference from my opinion.
you say that Arsenal always looks bad at the end of the season but looks strong at the start of the season, but in my opinion the opposite is true, Arsenal looks strong at the start of the season but in the second half of the season when they have a busy schedule in the UCL, Arsenal always fails to maintain consistency as a team that has to lose several points after focusing on the UCL, while teams that deserve the EPL title are usually always successful in rotating players to maintain the stability of the team's performance which can focus on both competitions to keep getting points domestically and also get wins in UCL matches.
just look at how in the past few seasons when Arsenal looked strong at the start of the season but in the second half of the season they always lost points more often and other teams managed to take advantage of Arsenal instability to gain more points like Man City did.
and what's even funnier is that when Arsenal finished failing in the UCL and returned to focusing on the EPL, the match schedule was approaching the end of the season and appeared more consistent in getting points in every match but the results were in vain because they were already far behind in points.

as you said, if Arsenal really need a change in their title pursuit strategy, that should be prioritized and from my opinion, if they really want to get the EPL title, they should try to prioritize matches in the EPL and consider the UCL as a second match that doesn't need to be prioritized.
and this kind of method can make Arsenal closer to winning the EPL title and if Arsenal succeeds in getting the EPL title, the mentality of the Arsenal players will definitely become more confident.

Salah still has a contract until 2025 and if he is comfortable with Liverpool it is likely that he can have a contract extension even though he is 31 years old but his talent is still really needed to help Liverpool get good results in the EPL and Liverpool is one of the popular teams in the EPL that is certain there will always be lots of alternatives when a mainstay player plans to leave the team, of course the management already has alternatives to bring in the player they are targeting who has the same talent quality as Salah.
but it still all depends on Liverpool management, which always plays an important role in player regeneration to maintain the stability of the team's performance.

and for Arne Slot, we don't need to worry about Liverpool choice because we all know that Liverpool will never be careless when it comes to bringing in a coach for their team, while the future of the team also depends on how the coach can manage players and rotate them perfectly to continue producing consistent results strong.
maybe many people doubt that Arne Slot is not very experienced, but believe me, sometimes a coach like this can give good results in the future.
