So far, my parents don't know I like gambling. For me, we don't need to publish this hobby to other people, including family and even parents. after all, I live with my small family and not under the same roof as my parents. Well, if they knew I liked to gamble, I can guarantee, I wouldn't give any explanation or make any claims.  there's nothing I need to compromise on, even if they force me to stop. especially, if my parents don't ask anything. So, I really won't bother to say anything.

The point is, firstly, they have absolutely no idea what activities I do with my gambling. secondly, if they ask about it and ask for an explanation. as I said at the beginning, I will not claim anything or justify the actions I took. The point is I will only answer to them, whether my life is a mess. if yes, I will gladly accept any criticism and suggestions. but if everything is under control, and does not harm anyone.
For me personally, there is nothing to worry about. because, I know what I am doing and am responsible for it. it's that simple, no need to bother explaining anything. after all, we are adults who are fully aware of what we are doing.

It would not be surprising if in the end Neymar was injured again. well, however this is the risk part for him, who always tries to dribble the ball. based on several newspapers that I read, Neymar tried to bring the ball, from the right side and the Uruguayan number 7, Nicolas de la Cruz, was ready to hit. In the report, De la Cruz's tackle was actually not that hard, it was just that Neymar ran in a less favorable position. His legs were weak, and when he was tackled he immediately lost his balance.

Well, I previously said this about this Brazilian star, before joining Al Hilal. It's time for Neymar to play more calmly, otherwise he will suffer injuries more often. and yes, in the end Neymar reportedly suffered a serious injury as reported by Romano. whether it is a loss for Al Hilal, it is clear that they are affected. Apart from the lack of strength on the front line, Neymar's salary is quite large just sitting to watch every Al Hilal match.
However, Al Hilal still had a solid combination of players before Neymar joined. they have Mitrovic as a center forward, Al Dawsari and Michael on the wings, while Malcom as an attacking midfielder. these players, they are quite sharp when it comes to creating chances and goals. Well, maybe Neymar's absence has reduced the enthusiasm of people who want to watch the Al Hilal match.  Yep, like you said.

Confidence is a very positive thing, especially to motivate the Arsenal squad to be even better. confident, can build a team mentality and carry out a solid game. However, Arteta's focus will be divided into the two matches they will play. This week, Arsenal will be hosted by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
After that, they will play an away match which is no less important on the third matchday of the Champions League group phase. This match is no less important, like the away match against Chelsea. Arteta must find a way to rotate some of his players during the Chelsea match, and targets full points to strengthen his position in the Premier League standings. even if Arenal wins over Chelsea, they will temporarily lead the top of the standings.

However, at the same time Arteta must prepare his team's squad for the away match against Sevilla. considering they are in second place, overthrowing Sevilla in the next match is a must.  In this way, Arsenal secured their position in the Group B phase. Well, because these two matches are close to each other, this means that Arteta must have another strategy so that his team is ready to take on these two matches. Meanwhile, Chelsea, even though Arsenal are superior, Poche will not allow his team to be overthrown so easily. they also need full points, in order to improve their position on the standings. It's just that to overthrow Arsenal, Chelsea must do their job very well. because this match still has a time gap, let's just wait for it to be held.

As I said, I rarely watch matches presented in the Serie A League. In fact, I rarely watch match after match played by AS Roma with Moirinho. But, that doesn't mean we can't look at data and statistics to examine it. Well, we don't even dare to say that Mourinho is a stupid coach, because after all he has led several teams to win various trophies.
Based on my point of view, Jose Mourinho has tried to adapt to a more modern style of football. He also often uses patterns like those used by other coaches, namely, 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2. Unfortunately, the system he implements always has the same characteristics. I don't know why he did it like that, we can even refer to the matches where they played against Leverkusen and Sevilla last season. So, let's see whether Mourinho will remain at AS Roma, because the rumors are currently talking about him quite fast. So, for now, let's save the Jose Mourinho drama.

Talking about AS Roma's match on the third matchday, they should be able to beat Slavalia Praha. Moreover, the match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico, AS Roma's home ground. thus, they will occupy first place in the G group phase.

Rumors of Mbappe's departure next summer never leave the conversation, which is always a topic of discussion for us, especially in this thread. IMO, Mbeppe's departure this season looks like it will become a reality. remembering, this season is his last season with Les Parisiens. It's just that the question remains, whether he will leave as a free agent. or, in the end Mbappe has an agreement with the club management. with the scenario, Mbappe still leaves but the team that wants to bring him in must at least spend a budget even though it is not too deep. The reason is, so far PSG is still adamant about trying various ways not to let their star go for free.

Talking about Real Madrid, this club is Mbappe's goal to fulfill his ambitions. with Madrid, he has the potential to win various trophies plus personal awards. Moreover, if we look at what Madrid did in the last transfer window, they only signed Joselu for a season, this scenario is quite reasonable if the PSG star will move next season. However, don't be surprised if there will be drama first when he leaves the club from the French capital. What is certain is that as I often say, for now Mbappe is still in the Paris Saint-Germain team uniform. which means, he will do his job until the end of this season. after that, we will know what scenario will happen.

In fact, if we refer to temporary odds, there is no team that is too favorite. As for Union Berlin, maybe because in the upcoming match they will be playing at home. Union Berlin with odds @2.44, while Stuttgart @2.75. we'll see, there's only a slight difference.  in the Asian handicap betting version, Union Berlin is ahead with 0:1/4.
Well, if you refer to the team performance of these two teams. It is clear that Stuttgart is much more consistent, when compared to the hosts. Of the 7 matches they played, Stuttgart only lost once when they visited Leipzig. after that, they won the match. Stuttgart is currently ranked second in the standings with 18 points, and they are also productive in terms of scoring goals. in fact, there is nothing striking about the differences between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. These three teams have scored 20+ goals in their 7 matches.

In contrast to Urs Fischer's squad, Union Berlin experienced a decline in performance. In his seven matches in various competitions, he did not achieve a single win, not even a draw. I'm quite confused, because after the match in Week 8 between these two teams, Union Berlin will host Napoli on the third matchday of the Champions League group stage. Apart from having to focus on the Bundesliga, Union Berlin also wants to at least aim to finish in 3rd place. so, they can take part in the Europa League competition.
Well, we return to the match between Union Berlin vs Stuttgard. Based on Stuttgard's performance, it is much better, but what is certain is that the coach, Urs Fisches, must break the series of defeats experienced by Union Berlin. I think, we can consider analyzing first whether Union Berlin can overthrow Stuttgard and return to the real track. For me, it looks like this match will be interesting. moreover, it involves betting.

A few days ago I read a tweet from Romano reporting, Ancelotti: “Agreement with Brazil? It's all about rumors, links… I feel very good at Real Madrid as things stand”.

reference: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1713868748686315927

Maybe it seems, Don Carlo doesn't want to discuss his move while he is still managing Real Madrid. So, his current focus is really on his squad. But if Don Carlo really coached the Brazilian national team, there are actually many names that we would be able to associate as potential successors to Ancelotti. referring to what you said, I don't think it's time for Xabi Alonso to handle a club that is so big. even though in reality, he really is a coach with great potential.

Regarding Zidane, rumors of Zidane's return to Real Madrid are widely discussed. referring to several newspaper sources who reported that Zinedine Zidane was said to have the best chance of replacing Carlo Ancelotti. As we all know, it is widely reported that Real Madrid management is looking for a new figure to replace Carlo Ancelotti who will leave at the end of the season. Don Carlo is reportedly going to continue his pursuit as coach of the Brazilian national team. Regarding the potential replacement, I have not received any reports regarding the news that Zidane is ready to return to training. However, the potential is always there, especially since Madrid is Zidane's home. Unfortunately, we can't confirm anything yet. after all, Don Carlo is still the head coach for Los Blancos. So, let's just enjoy this season before Ancelotti actually trains the Brazilian national team in 2024.

@irenecoin, you speculated too far. even though you strengthen it with odds from bookies, the problem is that changes can occur every week or match presented by La Liga. Moreover, La Liga has only presented 9 of the 38 matches, and there are still many matches that must be played by all the teams taking part in this competition. So, it's too soon to speculate.
We all know that currently Madrid is at the top of the standings, but the difference in points from the teams below their ranking does not show a very obvious gap. Ginona is only 2 points away from Real Madrid, while Barcelona is 3 points away. and in this competition, it still offers match after match which is still very long.

Even so, however, Madrid is always a strong candidate team to win the championship trophy every season. Likewise with this season, especially now that they are in first place. However, Barcelona will always be a threat in the competition for trophies and La Liga.
and yep, we agree with what @Swordsoffredom said, for now there is no reason for Barcelona management to decide to fire Xavi. Moreover, Xavi is very skilled at negotiating with players he wants to bring to Camp Nou. I believe that Xavi has an important role this season in convincing IIkay Gundohan, Joao Cancelo and other players who are free agents.
This season, Barcelona still has a chance to defend the trophy they won last season. It's just how Xavi has to deal with the injury problems of his players, as well as prepare his team to play match after match, especially for the important El Clasico match.

If United can win all the remaining matches, they have a chance to qualify for the next round. Let's see how they will do in their matches in this competition. If the information I have collected is not wrong, several United players can be sure to have recovered from their injuries, especially the defensive line players. Even though the unpleasant news came from Luke Shaw, it is still not certain, but based on some of the information I got, Reguilon, T.Malacia, will return on October 22nd. Meanwhile, Luke Shaw is reportedly returning to join on October 23 as well.
Unfortunately, I cannot confirm the accuracy of this information. If this information matches what was reported, at least Ten Hag will again have additional ammunition for the defense line, unfortunately Lisandro Martinez is scheduled to return on January 14th.

Well, even though they only have a small chance of qualifying for the next phase. but the opportunity is always there, especially if Galatasaray is defeated by Bayern Munich on matchday three. The point is, Ten Hag must sweep all the remaining matches with a win. If not, their chance to progress to the next stage will be lost. Nevertheless, we agree. If they end up falling in the Group A phase, at least they have to be in 3rd place so United can play in the Europa League competition.

On paper, this match should be easily won by Al Nassr, considering that the two teams have a fairly obvious gap. That doesn't mean that if Damac is able to hold Al Hilal to a draw, it will also happen in the match against Al Nassr. although, the Damac team in its 4 matches in various competitions did not experience defeat. but after all, these two teams have different levels of player depth.

Honestly I don't mean to underestimate Damac, but they are ranked 10th, and Al Nassr is in 3rd position. Luis Casto's target is to reduce the difference in points from the top of the standings, by winning his match at home to Damac this week. Moreover, based on the available odds, it is clear that Al Nassr is the favorite team to win the meeting between these two teams in Week 10. except, if Luis Castro will not play some of his core players.
The reason is, they will also play a match in the AFC Champions League against Al Duhail, after playing a match against the Damac team. and this is our problem, because we don't have a lot of the latest information that we can dig up regarding every match that will be presented in the Saudi Pro League.

Anyway, I remain optimistic that Al Nassr will win this match. especially, if we refer to the H2H meeting of the two teams.

The problem is, Borussia Dortmund does not have large outside investors who are able to help them financially. That's why, if the Bundeliga wants to change like other leagues or the Premier League, the 50+1 system must be changed or revised. Unfortunately, there are many groups who oppose the policy of initially changing the 50+1 system. In the end, it's not only Dortmund who always sell their players, especially talented players who are potential stars. Other teams are not much different, one of the ways they make money is from selling players.
If Dortmund don't run their business and target trophies in various competitions, it seems their financial condition will experience problems. and this is inversely proportional to Bayern Munich, one of the richest giant clubs in this competition. in addition, they have Die Hard The Bavarian. So, Borussia Dortmund's vision is not to aim for trophies. In fact, every season they only maintain their consistency to remain in the top four of the Bundesliga and remain in the Champions League.

Uniquely, Dortmund is able to do this even though they always sell their star players. So, don't have high hopes for Dortmund to win trophies in various competitions. except, like last season when Bayern Munich experienced a decline in performance and did not have a center forward. at the same time, Dortmund is in its best form after entering the second half of the season. Moments like this rarely happen. However, this season is as unique as last season. The difference is, currently Leverkusen is Bayern Munich's competitor. However, we cannot yet confirm how consistent Xabi Alonso's squad will be when competing until the end of the 2023/2024 season.

Talking about this once phenomenal coach, now his career is starting to fade. To be honest, I rarely watch Serie A, but now it seems Mourinho is starting to try to change the philosophy of how he implements his system. Even though it's not uncommon, the bus parking formation is still its mainstay. That is why Mourinho is unable to compete with new coaches who promote modern football.

But talking about AS Roma, in their last three matches at different events. they won their matches with good results, three matches with ten goals and only conceding one goal. However, their position in the domestic league is still in the middle rank. That means, Jose Mourinho must further improve the performance of his team's squad to continue on the right track. thus, they can move up the rankings. In this way, he can still maintain his coaching reputation and does not need to coach the Saudi Pro League club.
By the way, so far AS Roma has had no problems in their two matches in the Group G phase. Even though they are currently in second place, they are actually capable of overthrowing Slavia Prague in the next match and occupy first place in Group G. and I'm quite sure, in this group phase Roma can advance to the next round. Moreover, if Mourinho is able to improve the performance of his players.

It is very likely that the PSG star will leave in the next summer window, yep, according to the rumors spread so far. Who knows how it will work out, but the intention to move clubs has become a unanimous decision for him, now the problem is whether Mbappe is willing to negotiate with the club management so that he wants to renew his contract. with the scenario that Mbappe can still move clubs next summer, and PSG will at least get a little money to let him go. because after all, PSG is currently being targeted regarding FFP which could happen to them. It could be that, if an agreement is reached, the price for Mbappe's release will not be as high as before. and maybe, Madrid will actually bring him in next season. and it seems, this scenario is more ideal.

Moreover, if we refer to Madrid, who only borrowed Joselu for one season. However, it does not rule out the possibility of Mbappe terminating his contract as a free agent. Yep, everything is not ruled out. for sure, we will find out later.
but for now, I believe the focus is on the team and playing as well as possible. under Enrique's control, there doesn't seem to be as much unpleasant gossip regarding them unlike when they were still under Galtier's coaching. This week, PSG will play a match against Strasbourg. Full points is what they are targeting, in order to become top of the standings, even if only temporarily, Even then, if Nice and Monaco also win their matches. thus, PSG will return to third place. but if it is the other way around, they can maintain being at the top of the standings.

We agree. It's just that if we try to see what Pep planned and did, there were changes made when De Bruyne suffered a long injury. Several times I tried to examine what Pep did with his team, as well as the system he implemented. In fact, based on my personal point of view, Pep is trying to make several rotations and look for the best composition with the ideal pattern for the available players. In the end, in several matches, Pep implemented his 3-2-4-1 pattern again. Even though his team did not play optimally, they still played well and won the match, especially against Leipzig on the second matchday of the Champions League.

The problem is different when City meets a tougher team, as proven against Arsenal, Pep chose to apply the same 4-3-3 pattern. that means, I assume that even though City continued to play the match well, the needs and performance of the team's squad were not completely what he expected. therefore, Guardiola tried several times to rotate his players. In fact, Grealish is often left on the bench. However, I think the coach is preparing something else for his team due to several players leaving and De Bruyne's injury. Well, we'll see what happens next.
On Matchday three, their opponents will be Young Boys. Most likely, Guardiola will rotate some of his players again.
By the way, so far City have not experienced any problems in this competition and I remain confident that they will continue to play their best in this competition.

In the last meeting between these two teams last season, the match ended with a score of 1-1, at that time Manchester City was held to a draw at Brighton's headquarters. We know very well that Brighton often makes things difficult for the big teams who meet them. However, City is a much tougher team than De Zerbi's squad. Moreover, this match was held at the Etihad, City's headquarters. Apart from that, several players who were injured and suspended due to red cards are ready to return to play with their teammates. Also, Pep will not let his team experience defeat for the umpteenth time. which means, City will target full points to move back to the top of the Premier League standings.
However, after this match, City will play their match in the near future on the third matchday of the Chanpions League group stage against Young Boy in an away match. However, it doesn't matter because City have scored 6 points from the previous two matches. Even without De Bruyne who is suffering from a long injury, they will still play a good game and are targeting victory over Brighton.

On the other hand, in the last 4 matches played by De Zerbi's squad. they did not achieve positive results, two matches with defeats and two with a draw. Uniquely, this team often troubles strong opponents. Even in the previous match, De Zerbi's team was able to hold Liverpool to a draw. If I can be honest, as an Arsenal supporter, I want this match to end in a draw or defeat for City. However, if we talk from a betting perspective and the quality of City's players, they have a high probability of winning even though so far they have not shown their best version of the game.

It doesn't matter what Marcel Desailly says, because wherever Mbappe plays he will still be able to adapt. especially, if it is handled by a competent coach and a qualified team. Based on my point of view, Mbeppe is a player who is ready to play at whatever club he wants to play for. in that sense, a big club or any big club in Europe's top league. If Mbappe joined City, this team would be even more unopposed, IMO. there are two big stars of the current era, playing together as a team. Plus, handled by an extraordinary coach who has many truly proven tactics, strategies and systems.

It's just that the problem is the coach and the French star. The conflict between coaches and players will be very big if Mbappe joins Manchester City. and we all know, Pep Guardiola often clashes with the coach. and the same goes for Mbappe, it seems like the player is difficult to manage according to the coach's wishes and we have seen that before. Regardless if Pep is able to make Mbappe further unleash his talent and potential, Mbeppe already has great talent. that is why, it is unlikely that Mbappe will be willing to join Manchester City. Apart from that, the team he idolizes is Real Madrid. with Madrid, maybe Mbappe can play freely without pressure.

It is clear that Madrid is far superior in this match, even though this match is an away match. Madrid played their matches very well with wins, even though they lost once when they were away against Atletico in the city derby match. After that, Madrid played well again and won the next match.
Meanwhile, Sevilla's condition is not that good, especially since they just changed coaches after the club management fired Mendilibar. I think, however, Madrid has a big enough probability of winning this match later.

But what's interesting is that both teams will play together in the Champions League after this meeting. so we can assume for the time being, it could be that the two teams will not play all out. or maybe, Sevilla will still go all out playing at full strength. and yep, I'm sure Ancelotti will not underestimate his opposing team even though Sevilla is in a very unconvincing performance. However, that doesn't mean Madrid isn't targeting full points in this match. because after all, Madrid is only a few points away from the teams below their ranking. To remain at the top of the standings, they must take the three points home to the Santiago Bernabeu.

For me, this is still the beginning. In fact, we know very well that in Group H there is no opponent that is quite equal for Leverkusen. So far, they have scored 6 points from the two matches they have played. Well, in the upcoming match against Qarabag, Leverkusen doesn't seem to be experiencing any significant problems. it seems, they will progress smoothly and qualify for the next round. and more interesting matches will be presented in the round of 16, especially if several teams that failed in the Champions League also join in by qualifying for the playoffs later.
And only then, this competition looks like it will be more exciting for us to watch, especially since it involves betting. and we can see and even know how far Xabi Alonso is able to take his team to advance in this competition. I won't go too far in speculating, but based on their current performance, both in this competition and even in the Domestic League, Leverkusen has a pretty good chance.

On the other hand, Liverpool were previously predicted to win the Europa League trophy. and yep, they have a chance of that. It's just that, we'll see how far they will go. because several other teams could provide surprises. who knows, anything could happen anyway. IMO, Marseille has a chance to qualify, especially after changing coaches. although, we cannot be sure whether Gattuso will be able to make his team's squad much better.
apart from that, Roma also performed quite well in this competition, Jose Mourinho's squad only needed to overthrow Slavia Prague to be in first place in the group phase. The teams I mentioned in this post, especially those whose performance we consider not very convincing, could provide surprises. Therefore, we just follow every match presented in the Europa League.

This is quite interesting, let's wait for matchday three in Group F. the two matches presented were both interesting. Newcastle against Dortmund, will they be able to return to what they were like when they beat PSG. or, Dortmund actually overthrew Newcastle. considering that there is no guarantee that after they beat PSG, they will automatically beat Dortmund. Although, previously Dortmund's performance was very, very suboptimal. However, recently Dortmund seems to be starting to find its rhythm again, as well as their strikers who are starting to score goals again. In this competition, Dortmund is at the bottom of the group phase.  lost against PSG, ended in a draw at home to AC Milan.

On the third matchday, Terzic will not let his team be defeated by Newcastle. even the meeting between these two teams could potentially end in a draw. remember, when Newcastle played against PSG, Enrique failed miserably in implementing the system and rotating his players. and that's why, IMO, Newcastle was able to overthrow PSG.
Another match, PSG versus Milan. Well, let's see what Enrique will do with his squad. If Enrique doesn't try to experiment like the match against Newcastle, they should be able to overcome Milan.
Talking about Arsenal, I'm sure Arteta doesn't want his team to collapse again like in the match against Lens. So to strengthen their position in this group stage, they have to win every match they play. whether it's a home or away game.

It could be, if previous communication had been established between Bayern and De Gea. However, it seems that an agreement has not been reached. either because of salary, or he is just an option before Neuer returns to the field with Munich. Maybe that's why De Gea is not interested if Bayern offers him a contract. As an established goalkeeper and a big name, I don't think De Gea will be willing to just be a temporary goalkeeper. We can refer to Yann Sommer, even though I think this Swiss goalkeeper's work with Bayern is not that bad. However, he chose to leave, because previously there were rumors that Neuer would return as the main goalkeeper in the 2023/2024 season.

Well, now we are talking from Sven Ulreich's side. As you said, the goalkeeper has conceded 10 goals during Bayern's matches both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. However, if we remember the initial match in the German Super Cup, Sven Ulreich also conceded 3 goals, so a total of 13 conceded. I don't want to say that this goalkeeper always performs badly, but in big matches or when he meets a strong enough team, he always concedes. which means, Tuchel has other work to do to find a way to cover his weaknesses in the last line of defense of his team's squad.
For now, there are not many options other than Ulreich to improve his performance. plus, Thucel strengthened his squad's defense line players. if there is no development that leads to good progress.This means that Bayern must find an ideal goalkeeper next January and at the same time add several defenders.Thus, the Bayern Munich squad will be much stronger and very ready to face even tough teams.
