I am not surprised by this result, before the match starts it is already predictable who will come out as champion. Real Madrid have a more perfect team quality than Frankfurt, the midfield guarded by Casimero, Modric and Kross really troubles Frankfurt players. Two goals from Alaba and Benzema were enough to send Real Madrid to the Champions podium, once again Benzema became the hero of Real Madrid victory. I think Barcelona supporters should thank Real Madrid for having managed to avenge them because some time ago Frankfurt humiliated their beloved team in the Europa League final. 

It's true, Man United has been filled with some talented players, but the role of Manchester United players has not been able to show their best quality. Man United has been swayed for a long time, since Ferguson left the coach, there has not been a single coach who has been able to develop the talent of the players that Man United has. Most tragically, Man United had to lose (leave for free) one of its most expensive players, even though Pogba can still show his best performance if handled by a coach who is able to see the talent that Pogba has.

Now that Ten Hag must be able to show his quality as a coach who is able to build trust between players, his experience at Ajax Amsterdam must be applied to Man United. The revival of Manchester United has been long awaited, the transfer of a few more players needs to be done, Ten Hag must do it immediately before the market closes.

Before Ronaldo came to Real Madrid, Benzema was already in the Real Madrid squad. Benzema loyalty to Real Madrid is undeniable, he always makes a good contribution to the team and Real Madrid is lucky to have a striker like Benzema. If someone says that he doesn't know Benzema, maybe he never followed Real Madrid or even watched El Clasico, so it depends on the league that you watch.
This year has been a perfect year for Real Madrid, now Benzema next target is to win the Club World Cup with Real Madrid.

After making a big purchase, Arsenal performance will only improve this year, Arteta has the opportunity to surprise this season. Arsenal are getting tired of being under the shadow of Manchester city, Chelsea and Liverpool, Arsenal quality this season can enliven the competition at the top. I'm not an Arsenal supporter, but I'm very happy to see Arsenal transformation, because it will make the competition in the top flight more and more.

Merit Sources shouldn't need to do merit hoarding, because when they make a Vision and Mission when applying to become a Merit Source, they often attach a history of their achievement statistics. Speaking of the first batch of Merit Source assignments, there are still many things that need to be addressed, maybe they are stingy because they have difficulty finding worthy users in their post history reviews to be appreciated or have other activities outside the forum that cannot be abandoned, in the end, many monthly sMerit allocations are piled up.

To reduce cases of merit hoarding on Merit Sources, Theymos should choose Merit Sources that really have high Loyalty on the forum. So far, I have found several Merit Sources (no need to mention their names here) that do their job well, some of them need to be rotated with other users or provide opportunities for non-merit source members.

Obviously there will be BIG PROBLEMS if the Merit Source chosen by the Administrator is more stingy than the non-merit source members.
In the context of your quote above, I really understand the intent and purpose, those who hoard services are only a small number of stingy users who cannot appreciate contributions from other users.

As I explained above, there are still many shortcomings in the FIRST PRODUCT. So far what I have seen in the field, Merit Source is already on track, both globally and on the Local Board.

We never know if haven't tried it, the opportunity needs to be given to non-merit source users who are very active in distributing sMerit to other forum members. I also found some Merit Source Applications that have not been accepted, I thought Theymos should give it a try as some local councils also need Merit Source.

Changes need to be made on a rotating basis to reduce potential problems, Theymos should be more active in overseeing stingy Merit Sources and immediately rotate with new Source. I think if done like this, Merit Source will be even more active in distributing monthly sMerit allocations to deserving users (please correct if I'm wrong).

Sassuolo gave a positive signal to other teams with the moves made in the transfer market, slowly but surely Sassuolo will be able to compete with other elite teams. Sassuolo couldn't bounce back so quickly, there are still a few areas to improve, but they've done it gradually.
Clubs trying to break into the ranks of the elite will take several years to compete at the top. Newcastle, which has just turned into a rich club in the Premier League, also needs time to build up its squad strength, it is impossible for Sassuolo to rise to the top of the rankings in a very short time.

After getting bad results in the first game of the season, Manchester United began to panic about the quality of their squad. Manchester United's panic still continues when targeting the players they want to bring in, Ismaila Sarr has not been able to compete for the main place, he has also not been tested in many competitions. Manchester United must learn from the Pogba case, panic buying will have the potential to lose. The 40 million pounds Watford is asking for is too expensive for a player like Ismaila Sarr, Manchester United must be able to manage their money well.

Obviously, La Liga is not about Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. There are 20 teams participating in La Liga, but why only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid always dominate?
Teams like Sevilla, Villarreal and Real Sociedad can only provide competition but they cannot break domination.
You can see the list of La Liga Champions in the last 10 years, the three teams above always take turns being Champions. Then where are the other teams, aren't they competing in the same league?

This time Arsenal broke its tradition as a team that produces young players and then sells them for high prices when their name is already shining. spending big money became a new breakthrough for Arsenal because previously the Gunners were very economical in spending their money.
It's a big step for Arsenal because they haven't lifted the Premier League Trophy for a very long time. Now the squad that Arteta has built is a level higher than Manchester united, Arteta will try to reach the level of Manchester city, Liverpool and Chelsea to be included in the candidates for Premier League champions

Someone busyness has different levels, both in the forum and outside the forum. If you just speculate maybe he's doing this, maybe he's that way, and will never find the answer. @ddmrddmr has done something for the forum beyond normal human limits, he has engraved it in gold ink.

Don't worry guys, @ddmrddmr is back. He will do it again soon.

The depth of the squad owned by Juventus is far from perfect, there is still a lot that needs to be fixed before the transfer window closes. Some bad results in pre-season matches have strengthened bad speculation about Juventus, no one knows what Juventus Management's plans are next. Will they bring in other players to strengthen the midfield and back line when the transfer market is still open or do they rely on the squad they currently have while waiting for Pogba to recover from his injury.

The poor results obtained by Manchester United in the first game of the season left new jobs for officials and coaches, Ten Hag still had time before the transfer closed to look for new players to strengthen the team. Manchester United is still not able to compete with other strong teams this season, the strength of the squad owned by Ten Hag is still below the team that always dominates the top four. Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and several other teams are very active in the transfer market. If Manchester United does not immediately follow in the footsteps of other big teams, Ten Hag will have to be content to see his team thrown outside the European Zone.

Werner will return to Germany to undergo a medical and sign a contract to rejoin RB Leipzig, Werner return to RB Leipzig is a potential destination, Leipzig agreed to take Werner back on a permanent basis after two years of his move to Chelsea. Warner is considered to have failed to make a good contribution to Chelsea after a disappointing performance by scoring 23 goals and 21 assists in 89 appearances in all competitions.
Werner has agreed to a substantial pay cut in order to get playing time for another team, he must develop his potential by guaranteeing regular appearances with a new club in preparation for the World Cup later this year.

The quality of Atletico Madrid will not decrease even though they are not very active in the transfer market, Simeone really believes in the ability of the squad he has. Atletico Madrid is still able to provide competition to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla at the top. While in the hands of Simeone, Atletico Madrid have always been a team that is able to provide competition in the top four standings and some of them have won the La Liga trophy while breaking the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona as the rulers of La Liga.

What Pmalek discusses in this topic is only a small number of the top active users who have earned the most Merit but have sent 0 sMerits to other users, some of whom have left the forum. Without them there are still many other users with a high concern for spending sMerit where it deserves.
Those who leave the forum with the number of sMerits they have will not reduce the number of sMerit, the circulation of merits continues even without them.

True, so far I have found that there are so many merit sources or merit contributors who have the LOYALTY to issue sMerit to users who deserve it. Merit hoarders are only done by people who are stingy or can't appreciate the education of other users, but this case is very rare.

Merit sources that are chosen are really the right people and contribute a lot to the forum, they will always check the posts that are worth throwing sMerit. So I'm not too worried about sMerit hoarding users, because the forum still has contributors who can appreciate constructive, informative, and quality posts.

Despite having brought in several players in the transfer market to increase the team strength, Juventus still looks less able to compete in the top flight of Serie A after getting some disappointing results in the pre-season matches he played. Juventus quality is still below normal when compared to other big clubs, Allegri must find the right medicine to cure Juventus. This season the Serie A competition is more competitive than last season, the rise of Roma needs to be watched out for, if Juventus is not able to maintain its quality in official matches, Allegri must be ready to be thrown from the top four positions.

PSG has a great chance to qualify from the group stage, but there is no guarantee of being able to reach the final round. PSG has just made a transition with their new coach, even though they just got a big win in the first League 1 game, it doesn't mean PSG can spread their wings easily in the UCL. Now that Christophe Galtier has a tough task, he must be able to shape PSG into a team that has a winning mentality in Europe. In terms of player quality, PSG is very ready to compete in the UCL, but from a winning mentality, PSG must learn a lot from Real Madrid.

Xavi was able to unite new signings with Barcelona's style of play so quickly, some of the new names in the Barcelona squad were able to adapt well. The real threat was clearly seen from what Barcelona showed, the game was very solid, the players were able to maintain their role well. The big victory over Pumas Unam proves that Barcelona has risen, if you look at the depth of Xavi's squad, Barcelona is ready to compete with other big teams to achieve its goals.

Actually, Manchester United already has Anthony Martial and Ronaldo, while Chelsea, who have released Lukaku to Inter Milan on loan, only leaves Kai Havertz who often plays as a false nine. Now Vardy is 35 years old and has only one season left on his contract with Leicester City. Vardy will be a panic buy for Manchester United and Chelsea because of his old age because it is very difficult for a player who is 35 years old to be able to maintain his performance especially in big games.
The summer transfer window is still open until September 1, both clubs can still look for talented young players rather than having to bring in players whose productive age is almost finished.
