Did you think Lewandowski's performance was flawless even before he joined Barcelona? He changed his style of play without realising it was having an impact on him. Lewandowski used to be able to score with both his head and his legs, but these days he finds it very difficult to do so and much prefers to use his legs. In his prime, Lewandowski was a dangerous striker who every opponent Bayern Munich faced was terrified of. However, because he was having trouble winning a ballon Dior in the Bundesliga, he decided to join Barcelona in the hopes of winning one, but he hasn't had the opportunity to do so yet.

~Snip
Yes, currently Lewandowski is not as sharp as when he was at Bayern Munich. Maybe it's because Lewandowski is no longer young so his performance continues to decline. Or as you said because he changed his playing style so it's not as sharp as before. However, I read a news site that reported the reasons why Lewandowski experienced a decline in performance at Barcelona. And that reason is actually quite surprising to me. The reason is, in his report, Lewandowski said he was no longer enthusiastic about playing football.

Age can't lie because after all, from the beginning Lewandowski was brought in it seems like Barcelona must be aware of this, therefore only a short-term contract they gave Lewa because the situation will definitely make it difficult for a long-term contract and indeed it is proven at this time when Lewandowskk was only able to be consistent for 1 season and slowly his performance situation began to decline along with Lewa's current age.

The current season with Lewa having consistency problems alone has made Barcelona confused because they don't have a decent targetman at the moment because Lewandowski is having problems and Barcelona don't have any options now but that's nothing compared to next season because in addition to being left by Xavi at this time Barcelona has also definitely been left by Joao Felix and Cancelo who must have returned to his old club because the loan period expired. with Barcelona's poor condition I think it will further worsen Barcelona's situation even if they don't make a move from now on I don't guarantee that they will be able to compete like this season.

Yes, Barcelona's current situation can be said to be less than good, so Barcelona's fate next season will definitely be more difficult than now. Because as you said, next season Barcelona will lose its current coach and also lose some of its players. So Barcelona will definitely be confused by this condition. Coupled with Barcelona's current poor financial condition, this will certainly confuse Barcelona's management even more. Apart from that, next season Barcelona players like Lewandowski will not necessarily perform better than this season. So I also don't know what Barcelona should do with this situation. The reason is, regarding Xavi's replacement next season, there is no news yet about who his potential replacement will be in the Barcelona coaching chair. Therefore, of course next season Barcelona will experience more difficult times than the current season. But even so, hopefully Barcelona will have a solution to all these problems. Because if next season Barcelona slumps or is unable to compete with other clubs in Laliga, it certainly won't be exciting.

Apart from that, next week Barcelona will face Las Palmas in LaLiga. In my opinion, in this match Barcelona can definitely take home the full 3 points. Because so far Las Palmas is a team that is not very strong. So Barcelona should be able to win, even with the current situation.

222  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: March 22, 2024, 08:28:17 AM
For me, the most potent policy of El Salvador was to reduce crime in the country. The current Haiti gang violence is a typical example of what was happening in El Salvador before the government of Nayid Bukele took over. Violent gangs were in control of the country before he took over.

Without peace, no investor will consider putting money in the country. Citizenship by investment policy would never be attractive if the country was not safe. The country has experienced an increase in the rate of foreign tourists thanks to the crackdown on violent gangs. We are hoping that Bitcoin will reach the $100k mark but it seems that El Salvador will not be selling its Bitcoin holding anytime soon. The country will seek other means of fulfilling its financial obligations to the IMF.
Bukele's position is very clear, after he made the Bitcoin wallet public, a few days later he announced that he would continue to buy one Bitcoin every day. In my opinion, this is the right direction, I mean the goal is to increase the number of bitcoins, but I may not agree that this should be done now, when bitcoin has increased so significantly in price.

Of course, if you consider that the price will reach 100k, and I’m almost sure of this, then buying now also makes sense. At one time, I stopped buying when the price reached 30k, now I think that perhaps I stopped early, but this was my strategy and I will stick to the original plan until the end of the bull run.

For Bukele, this is all perceived differently, because he buys bitcoins not with his own money, but with taxpayers’ money, which is much easier to do and, of course, it is very important that in the end he does not think that these are his bitcoins, but understands that they belong throughout the country, and to every citizen of El Salvador. In any case, Bukele is doing the right thing, he is accumulating bitcoins and one day this may help El Salvador gain higher status.

I am still bothered by the 1 bitcoin per day idea.. even though there is some symbolism to it, but it is not as practical as either measuring in terms of some dollar amount or maybe measuring within a percentage of the countries revenues.

~Snip
It is true, until now Bukele has made major changes or rotations in El Salvador. Which started with the arrest of an entire armed gang in El Salvador.

Quote
More than 64,000 suspected criminal gang members have been arrested by El Salvador authorities in an effort to combat thuggery.
Source: https://www.bbc.com/indonesia/majalah-64781862

This is clearly an action that is very rarely carried out by a president or leader of a country anywhere. So you could say that the actions taken by Nayib Bukele against gangsters in El Salvador could be said to be quite extreme.
But despite this, El Salvador is now a safer country than before.

Apart from that, regarding Nayib Bukele's plan to buy 1 bitcoin per day, perhaps this statement cannot be fully justified. The reason is that this statement is still unstable considering that the price of bitcoin is currently experiencing an increase. Meanwhile, Bukele said he would buy 1 bitcoin per day when bitcoin was cheap.

Quote
The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, announced on Twitter on Thursday, November 17, 2022 that his country will purchase one bitcoin every day.
Source: https://www.liputan6.com/amp/5128803/presiden-el-salvador-nayib-bukele-sebut-bakal-beli-1-bitcoin-setiap-hari

In that year the price of bitcoin was quite far from what it is now. So you could say that that year Bukele bought 1 bitcoin with tax money from the people of El Salvador.

However, if Nayib Bukele plans to buy 1 bitcoin per day with taxes coming from the people of El Salvador now. In my opinion, this action could be said to be too hasty. Because as JJG said, tax money is usually used for certain needs in that country (El Salvador). Such as to repair damaged roads, damaged schools, or for other costs in that country (El Salvador). And in my opinion, Nayib Bukele cannot completely avoid this (state development costs). Because of course in a country there will always be things that need to be addressed and improved. Therefore, tax money obtained from the people in El Salvador will definitely be used for needs in El Salvador. And the rest is then used to buy bitcoin. Maybe that's how I understand it from my perspective.

It is true that De Rossi is not an experienced coach. And I was very upset with the Roma management when they sacked Mourinho and appointed De Rossi as coach. But now it seems Roma management is moving in the right direction.

De Rossi is not experienced but he has already proved that he is quite talented. Roma's performance has stabilized since De Rossi took over. Roma have played 13 matches since De Rossi took over and have won 9 of them and lost only 2. The team is performing quite well now. And right now Roma have a great chance of qualifying for the Champions League from among the top four in the table.
Initially, many people were certainly shocked by AS Roma management's decision to fire Mourinho and replace him with De Rossi. If you think more deeply, the actions taken by Roma management are indeed very risky. The reason is, AS Roma management changed coaches in the middle of the season, which of course would be very risky for performance stability. Apart from that, AS Roma players will definitely need time to adapt to the new coach. Because of this, many parties, especially AS Roma fans, doubted De Rossi when he occupied the AS Roma coaching chair.

But in fact De Rossi erased all doubts in the minds of many people, especially AS Roma fans. The reason is that after AS Roma was coached by De Rossi, AS Roma continued to experience a significant increase in ranking in Serie A. And currently AS Roma is ranked 5th in Serie A. So when compared when AS Roma was coached by Mourinho and when coached by De Rossi, the difference looks quite significant . But that doesn't mean Mourinho is a bad coach. Because after all, Mourinho is a very great coach and is known to many people on the world football scene.

Maybe Mourinho experienced failure at AS Roma, because Mourinho and his players did not have good chemistry. So during training sessions or during matches, AS Roma players may feel uncomfortable being coached by Mourinho. Well, that's most likely the reason Mourinho failed to bring AS Roma to success.

And it's true, AS Roma now has a very big chance of qualifying for the Champions League (UCL). The most important thing is that AS Roma just needs to be consistent in every match they play in Serie A (they must always win). Because AS Roma is now only 3 points different from Bologna, which is ranked 4th in Serie A. So the point is that AS Roma should not waste this golden opportunity.

A draw is not the result that Arsenal wants because they need to find 3 points in order to maintain their position at the top of the standings. It is true that beating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium is quite difficult, but Arsenal has a strong enough squad this season so they have to try to do it. Many people might have doubts about Arsenal in the next match, especially because they are visiting Etihad, so they think that it will be difficult for Arsenal to get points. However, I see that Arsenal is more confident about winning the title, so the challenge in the match against Manchester City is of course that they have to be ready to compete with their best strength.

But of course Manchester City is the favorite so there is a strong assumption that the match will end in a draw. So, for me, I want to see the winner in this match, be it Manchester City or Arsenal, they have to come out as winners. There is no more interesting competition than the match between these two teams because if one of them loses it will make it difficult for them to compete for the title
Manchester City will indeed be a very difficult opponent for Arsenal. The reason is that currently Manchester City's performance is also in very good condition. For this reason, Arsenal must be more alert and focused when facing Manchester City. The reason is, playing against Manchester City is certainly different from when Arsenal played Liverpool. Even though against Liverpool Arsenal were able to win the match. But need to remember that at that time Liverpool's condition was not good. The reason is that many Liverpool players are injured. So to prepare for the match against Manchester City, Arsenal's preparations must be more thorough.

Then if you look at the head to head record of Arsenal and Manchester City. The result is that Manchester City is superior to Arsenal. Of their 5 meetings, Manchester City managed to win 3 times and lost 2 times against Arsenal. However, the advantage that Arsenal can have is that in their last meeting Arsenal were able to win the match with a narrow score of 1-0 over Manchester City. So Arsenal does have high hopes of winning the match against Manchester City.

And in the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, I personally predict Arsenal will come out as winners in that match. Apart from that, I think it must be very difficult to end in a draw. Because of course Manchester City and Arsenal are chasing a win in this match.

Lewandowski openly admitted that the reason for his declining performance was because he was starting to lose passion. “In 2023, there will be times when I feel physically and mentally weaker,” Lewandowski told Sport.
Source: https://www.bola.net/amp/spanyol/performa-di-barcelona-jeblok-robert-lewandowski-akui-mulai-kehilangan-gairah-63d327.html

I don't know what made Lewandowski like that. However, there must be a very big reason that makes Lewandowski's motivation disappear a little, including his desire to win the Ballon D'or. Maybe the reason could be because Lewandowski felt uncomfortable while at Barcelona, ​​​​perhaps because there were financial problems (salary) that were not going smoothly, or Lewandowski was simply not comfortable with the environment or with his teammates at Barcelona. But if, for example, all the factors I mentioned are wrong, it means that Lewandowski really lacks enthusiasm for playing football. And if it continues like that, maybe Lewandowski can soon retire from the world of football. But hopefully Lewandowski doesn't do that. Because I'm sure he can still show his best performance. But for now, Lewandowski just needs motivation to fuel his enthusiasm.
226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 22, 2024, 02:58:11 AM
In fact, I'm only interested in the Saudi League because several celebrities like Ronaldo, Benzema have moved there, and I mostly just follow the news regarding these players. Sometimes I can watch a selection of goals that Ronaldo scores, but to be honest, I have never watched an entire match involving Saudi League teams.

Despite the fact that several star players play there, this championship does not make this championship so interesting that I follow the teams, and their positions in the standings. Benzema, by the way, announced that he would like to return to the French national team, apparently he really misses Europe, and this can be seen from his behavior.
Ronaldo does have great attraction in the world of football. Wherever he is he is always followed by his fans. So, if you look deeper, the reason the Saudi Arabian League is as famous as it is today is because of Ronaldo's arrival at Al Nasr. So it is natural that many people follow football in the Saudi Arabian League, but only watch clubs that have star players like Ronaldo. Apart from that, I, like you, have never watched all the matches in the Saudi Arabian League. That doesn't mean it's not interesting, but the point is that I don't have much time to watch all the club matches in Saudi Arabia. Never mind matches at Saudi Arabian clubs, even in the Premier League I rarely watch all the matches being played. Because as I said above, I don't have much time to watch all these matches.

Apart from that, talking about Benzema, it is natural that he currently misses playing for the French national team. Because it was in that country that Benzema started his career in the world of football. So it's natural that Benzema really misses playing for his country or a club in that country.
The reason is, even at the 2022 World Cup which will be held in Qatar, Benzema was not included Francis' national team because of his injury. So it is natural that currently Benzema really misses playing football in his hometown. Apart from that, Benzema's career also doesn't seem to be going smoothly at Al Ittihad. So this will definitely make Benzema even more uncomfortable at Al Ittihad. However, he is a very professional footballer so he will definitely play at Al Ittihad as long as his contract is still valid.

Do you feel sad when your favorite team loses a match and the bet (if you had placed a bet on that match)?

~Snip
In the question you asked, for me there are two meanings or two answers contained in it. Because you asked about the Paporit team and also about the bets involved in it.

So my answer
Of course I will be very sad when the team I support in one of the sports loses. Especially when I place a bet on the match. Because even if I don't place a bet, I will definitely be very sad when the team I like loses.
So basically I definitely feel twice as sad or annoyed when I place a bet on a match of a team that I like and the result is that the team loses. Because when I see the team I like lose, plus I also lose money because I lost the bet on that match, of course I will be very sad. Maybe if I bet on a team that I don't really like, of course when that team loses I won't feel so sad. Because the context is just losing the bet. And I didn't think much about that team, because it wasn't a team that I liked. So basically his sadness is only focused on losing his money.

And I'm sure, almost all gamblers have the same thoughts as me about the answer to your question.

Allegri could not deliver what was expected, especially in the last 2 months. Juventus, who had lost points in almost all of their 2-month matches, was on the field. I expected a better performance from them this year because they had the opportunity to rest more while their opponents were tired by playing European matches. They failed again and I think Allegri should quit team now.
It looks like Allegri really needs to be replaced from Juventus. The reason is that currently Juventus' performance looks increasingly uncertain. In fact, as you said, this season Juventus can be much more focused than other clubs in Serie A. Apart from that, Juventus also currently has a number of players who are performing very well. But unfortunately Allegri couldn't take advantage of all that and Juventus currently has no hope of becoming Serie A champions. So the best solution is for Juventus to change its coach, like AS Roma did a few weeks ago. Because, for example, Allegri will continue to coach Juventus next season. Of course this is not the right thing to do.

And from the news that I know, it is said that Thiago Motta is rumored to be the one who will replace Allegri's position at Juventus.

Quote
Recently, several coaches' names have been linked with Juventus. However, Cobolli Gigli considers Bologna coach Thiago Motta very suitable to replace Allegri and start a new era
Source: https://www.bola.net/amp/italia/thiago-motta-sosok-sempurna-untuk-mulai-era-baru-di-juventus-92fefd.html

Maybe that is a really good idea. Because currently Thiago Motta has quite good achievements at Bologna. But this is still just a rumor, so whether it will happen or not can't be confirmed yet.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 21, 2024, 08:46:20 AM
So in the remainder of this season, I hope that no Liverpool players suffer injuries. Likewise with Arsenal and Man City players. So the fight for the Premier League title is really fierce and exciting.
It is indeed very interesting, but this condition cannot be avoided by all players, so if that happens, it is very likely that the match will be uneven, however, all clubs have team strength, even though there are players who suffer injuries, it does not mean that the game will decline, in fact they are clubs like Man City. Liverpool, Arsenal, are big clubs, at least they can understand and be able to get out of any difficult conditions and can reduce the condition of every line that a player leaves when injured, so there is no need to worry that the matches and the fight for the title this season will continue to attract interest. it will even be tense for fans of the Premier League this season..
It is true, injuries to soccer players cannot be avoided effectively. Because when they are on the field, all players only focus on winning the match. So your opinion is very correct. But I just hope that not too many Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal players are injured. Although it is true, Liverpool, Manchester and Arsenal are very strong teams. What is certain is that can rotate players well, when his main player is injured. However, rotating the main players to be replaced by second players will definitely give less than optimal results, even though the coach is very good at making tactics and strategies. So there will definitely be differences and of course there will be a decline in performance, if the main players of the three clubs are injured (Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal). That's why I hope that no main players are injured from these three clubs.



Deduction 10 points makes Everton is not in the favourable situations because now they have to hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and 4 difference points above to Nottingham Forest the team in the relegation zone makes Everton position is very not secured moreover Everton still unable to bounce back with suffering several loses even during 2024 since January Everton was unable to gets the winning results and their records since January until this month is 5 draw from 8 matches in Premier League so this makes Everton losing plenty of points from those matches and the latest is Everton have to lost from Manchester United

~Snip

The 10 point deduction is the largest reduction in the history of Premier League football. Because previously there were several clubs whose points were deducted for violating Premier League regulations, but the points deduction was not up to 10. So what is happening to Everton now is very difficult. Therefore, currently Everton must compete to avoid being relegated from the Premier League. And this will certainly be very difficult for Everton. The reason is, in the next few weeks, after the international break is over, Everton will be faced with a very strong opponent. These opponents are Liverpool, Bournemouth and also Newcastle. So it will definitely be very difficult for Everton to get 3 points in the next few weeks.

But guys the problem when you are a top manager at one top team like Real Madrid or Barcelona is you need to win ALL so no matter what Xavi is doing he is out of LaLiga and in third place, and for first time after two miserable performance they reach quarter finals on UCL, so for top teams that is 100% shit.
Even though Barcelona has made it to the quarter-finals of the UCL this season, it is still very doubtful that Barcelona will reach the final considering the current condition of their team and the opponents they have to face there. And now Barcelona has regained second place from Girona after Girona lost at home to Getafe and Barcelona successfully won without reply at home to Atletico Madrid, so overall Barcelona is only eliminated in getting first position in La Liga and I think that's not too bad for him
Yes, it is surprising that Barcelona was able to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League (UCL). Because initially I really doubted that Barcelona could enter the quarter-finals. The reason is that when they faced Napoli in the first leg of the round of 16, Barcelona seemed to have difficulty winning the match. And in the end Barcelona was only able to draw with Napoli. However, in the second leg, Barcelona appeared very different against Napoli. As a result of the match, Napoli was defeated by Barcelona with a score of 3-1.

However, in the quarter-finals, the opponents Barcelona faced could be said to be very strong. The reason is that the opponent is PSG, who currently sits at the top of the Francis Domestic League standings. So in the UCL quarter-finals, Barcelona will definitely have extra difficulties to qualify for the next round. But even so, I am very optimistic that Barcelona will be able to match the game of Mbappe and his friends. The reason is that currently Barcelona seems to have found its best scheme again.


So I personally am very confident that Barcelona can definitely reach the UCL semifinals. And if Barcelona's performance is still very good, I am 70% sure that Barcelona will most likely be able to qualify for the UCL final.

He is no longer fast and good like three or four years ago but at his age, still playing and scoring goals, a lot, like him, is amazing and it's very hard to find another player who can do the same.

Ronaldo doesn't have the speed he had 3 or 4 years ago, but his technical capacity and football knowledge are still the same. Even if his speed and performance decline, his technical skills will never disappear.

Before his unfortunate injury he was a wing forward. After the injury he turned into a striker. Now, by playing as a target striker, he can have the luxury of spending less effort. In this way, I think he can play football for a few more years with his technical capacity and football knowledge.
Ronaldo is indeed different from other football players. The reason is that until now Ronaldo still looks very fit and energetic even though he is almost 40 years old. Because if  look at other soccer players. When reach 40s, things change drastically for these football players. For example, when they enter their 40s, some soccer players become fat, their ability to play soccer decreases somewhat, and many soccer players retire at the age of 38-40 years. So seeing Ronaldo can still play well at almost 40 years of age, in my opinion this is a very extraordinary achievement. Plus, at his current age, Ronaldo's body is still very ideal. In fact, his body shape looks almost the same as when he was 25-30 years old (especially in terms of muscle and fat).

Apart from that, what I see is that Ronaldo's current performance can be said to be still very good. Yes, even though Ronaldo's speed is currently decreasing. However, Ronaldo still has many good skills, such as his passing which is still very accurate, his kicks which are still hard and accurate, and his dribbling skills which are still quite good. So for now the reduced speed is not an obstacle for Ronaldo to continue playing football well. And it's true, friend, currently Ronaldo is indeed suitable as a striker. This is because Ronaldo has a tall body, excellent ability to score goals and  can save more energy.

Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more?
In my personal opinion, when someone enters the world of gambling, they must be prepared for all the risks that may occur. Therefore, in the world of gambling, where the possibility of winning is large, the possibility of losing will definitely be very large too. Besides, in this context, rich or poor, it's the same ( have to dare to take the same risks). Because when someone enters the world of gambling, like it or not, they have to be ready to take risks. Whether it's for rich people or poor people. Because if a gambler is not ready to take risks, in my opinion that person does not deserve to be called a gambler. Therefore, when playing gambling, we have to be prepared for what is called defeat. Because if you are not ready to lose, when experience defeat, quite a few gamblers will blame many parties. It's like blaming the site where gamble, or if gamble offline will definitely feel cheated by gambling opponents at that place.

Therefore, as you said at the beginning, gambling is done for fun. So it doesn't matter if you lose, because the main goal is just to have fun. However, when you win at gambling, it is a prize or bonus that you can enjoy. In simple terms, that's what the world of gambling is like. So in conclusion, rich or poor, in the realm of gambling you must be ready and brave to take all risks. And regarding big or small risks, I think it's the same. Because for a poor person who gambles with capital of 100 dollars, the poor person certainly thinks the risk he has to take is big. Because 100 dollars to that person feels very big. And that's what rich people will definitely feel, of course it won't be much different. The difference is only in nominal terms.

Compared to last season, Lazio's performance this season has decreased significantly, all because they have not made changes to a better team, instead they only rely on their old players.

The match against Juventus will of course be fierce because no matter what the current condition of the two teams is, they are still two teams but Serie A definitely has high prestige when facing each other and it is possible that they will play with high tension because both are aiming for victory, so I think the betting option is more good bet on goal over.
It is true, this season, Lazio experienced a very significant decline in performance. Maybe the reasons you put forward are very reasonable and are the main reason why Lazio is unable to compete in Serie A. However, I also want to add another reason why Lazio is experiencing poor performance this season. The reason is, other teams in Serie A have experienced quite a significant increase in performance this season, so Lazio is having a very difficult time keeping up. Because if, for example, the performance of the teams in Serie A is still the same as last season, then it is very likely that Lazio will return to the top 4 positions in Serie A this season. The reason is, last season Lazio was able to finish in second place in Serie A.

Then the final reason why Lazio is experiencing difficulties this season. This is because this season all the playing strategies and tactics of the Lazio players have been read by all the teams in Serie A. So because of this, Lazio is really having a hard time and finding it difficult to recover from their downturn.

And talking about Lazio's match against Juventus, maybe if you look at the Head to Head record it is clear that Juventus will definitely win. The reason is from the 5 meetings that have taken place between Juventus and Lazio. As a result, Juventus is ahead with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Then, if you look at the current condition of Juventus' performance, it is very likely that Juventus will also win. So my prediction for the Lazio match against Juventus is that Juventus will win. Even though Juventus' current performance is not good, when compared with Lazio's performance, I think Juventus is still better. So in essence, Juventus has a big chance of winning the match against Lazio.

It is not the perfect time to say Liverpool won't win the title. Liverpool have a strong squad. Liverpool's performances have been somewhat erratic after several key players in the squad suffered injuries, but now Liverpool are able to consistently perform well. The performance of the team is quite stable.

Arsenal and Manchester City are trying to win the title. But so far, Arsenal, City and Liverpool are the three teams that have the potential to win the title. No team can be underestimated. Liverpool's players have the ability to continue the winning streak.
Yes, I agree with you friend. This season Liverpool has performed quite well compared to other Premier League teams. The reason is that this season, of all the matches played by Liverpool in the Premier League, Liverpool have only tasted the bitterness of defeat twice. This is different from Liverpool's two rival clubs in the Premier League (Arsenal and Manchester City) which have more losing records. So from here I can also conclude that Liverpool is indeed superior when compared to Man City and Arsenal.

Apart from that, this season Liverpool players have often been hit by injuries. Because of this, Liverpool's performance often looks less consistent due to this. Likewise with Manchester City who had the same fate as Liverpool. However, the difference is that Manchester City is arguably not as bad as Liverpool when their players are injured. Because when Liverpool players are injured, the worst thing is that more than 10 players are injured at the same time. This certainly has a big impact on Liverpool's performance. Moreover, this season Liverpool is taking part in many competitions which will definitely make the situation even more difficult.

But this is where we can praise the Liverpool players and also Klopp as Liverpool coach. The reason is that even though many of Liverpool's main players are injured, Klopp and his existing players always manage to maintain victory in every match Liverpool plays in every competition. For this reason, I am very impressed with Liverpool's struggle. Because for example, the situation felt by Liverpool is also felt by other teams, for example Man City. I'm sure Man City will definitely have a lot of trouble.

So in the remainder of this season, I hope that no Liverpool players suffer injuries. Likewise with Arsenal and Man City players. So the fight for the Premier League title is really fierce and exciting.

In Girona's last game against Gatefe they were not clinical. They had thirteen shots and only three was on target. I also observed that Girona strikers prefer to go for goal even when a simple pass to a teammate will give better chance of getting a goal. I think Michel should find solution to the bluntness of the attack. The club's game will be against the seventh-placed  Real Betis and it is a must-win for them to solidify their hold on the third position.

Girona's performance has indeed declined. it wasn't as consistent and strong as it was at the start of the season. This match was the fifth defeat in the 29 matches that have been played.
Even though the point difference between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid is quite large, if Girona continues to perform like that, they may be moved from the top 4 of the standings.

Girona's match against Getafe could be said to be less than satisfying. The reason is that in that match, Girona was only able to win the match with a score of 1:0. In fact, if you look at Girona in their best performance, perhaps in the match against Getafe it is likely that Girona players will be able to score at least 3 goals. However, at the end of this season, Girona experienced a decline in performance. I don't know what the cause is, but what is certain is that Girona certainly cannot continue to allow this. Because if left unchecked, it is very likely that Girona will be eliminated from the top 4 positions in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

Maybe if you look briefly at Girona's match against Getafe, as you said, Girona players still have a high level of egoism. Maybe because these players want to make their names bigger so that it will be easier if they want to move to another club. Because now will definitely be a golden opportunity for Girona players to show their skills. But unfortunately it can be said that this action is not the right action. In fact, this action will definitely tarnish his own name. But this is just my prejudice and I hope the Girona players remain united.

And for Girona's match against Real Betis, I can't comment much about this match. Because if I say Girona will win, in fact in the last match Girona was only able to draw against Real Betis. Then if I said Real Betis would win, I would also be a little doubtful. The reason is that currently Girona's ranking is higher than Real Betis. So in my opinion it is very likely that Girona's match against Real Betis will end in a draw again.

Then in the upcoming match, Al Hilal is scheduled to compete with al Shabab. I am sure that in this match Al Hilal will definitely be able to bring home 3 more points.

This will be Al-Hilal's 23rd win if they succeed in beating Al-Shabab away from home. I think it is certain that Al-Hilal will be able to do it and steal 3 points again at home to Al-Shabab, especially since they are currently completely unstoppable. As far as I know, Al-Shabab only has a few European players such as Yannick Carasco and Ivan Rakitic and that is not enough to stop the many European players that Al-Hilal has.

We also know that the depth of the squads of these two teams is quite different, but there is something that is quite doubtful in that both H2H when the match took place and Al-Shabab were the hosts, they were very troublesome for Al-Hilal and the match often ended in a draw. Even in last season's meeting, Al-Shabab succeeded in overthrowing Al-Hilal at home. The question is, can Al-Hilal be able to do it again and will Al-Hilal succeed in continuing its winning trend? It's a match we're worth waiting for, only we have to wait for the international break to end before it all starts again.
Al Shabab has indeed recruited a number of European players, one of which is Rakitic. However, for now Rakitic is certainly still in the process of adapting and is also still in the process of getting to know his teammates at Al Shabab. The reason is that Rakitic has just joined Al Shabab. So I am sure that in the match against Al Hilal, Rakitic will most likely not put significant pressure on Al Hilal's defense. For this reason, I am very optimistic that Al Hilal will definitely be able to beat Al Shabab in the next match. Apart from that, it actually wouldn't be a big problem for Al Hilal, if for example Rakitic already had good chemistry with his teammates at Al Shabab. The reason is that a team that already has good chemistry like Al Nasr can still be beaten by Al Hilal. So in my opinion Al Hilal is guaranteed to win the match against Al Shabab.

And of course Al Hilal will continue to record its winning streak. Although last season Al Shabab was able to hold Al Hilal to a draw. However, in the last meeting between Al Hilal and Al Shabab, the result was that Al Hilal was able to win. Apart from that, in the Arab Club Champions Cup, Al Hilal was able to beat Al Shabab with a score of 3-1. So basically the Head to Head at the last meeting between Al Hilal and Al Shabab was the most influential. And the result is that Al Hilal is superior.

It is very unfortunate that Juventus' position, which was originally in second place, had to be shifted by AC Milan and now Juventus is in 3rd place.

So this season, Juventus seems to have lost its spearhead. The reason is, it is very difficult for Juventus to win the last 3 matches they have played. Even against lower ranking teams, Juventus has great difficulty winning matches. For example, in the last 3 matches, Juventus have not won once. In fact, if you look at the clubs that Juventus is playing against, I don't think it will be too difficult for Juventus to win the match. The reason is that these clubs are Genoa, Atalanta and also Napoli.
However, in fact the match between Juventus and Genoa ended in a draw (0:0). Against Atalanta, Juventus was only able to bring home a draw (2:2). And against Napoli, Juventus went home with a defeat (2:1). Well, if you look at the matches that Juventus has played (especially in the last few weeks), I think that at the end of this season Juventus will experience a quite significant drop in ranking in Serie A. The worst case scenario is, Juventus could drop to 5th place in the Serie A standings. Who knows what happened to Juventus that caused its performance to decline. In fact, if you look at the current schedule, Juventus has a lot of time to practice and prepare strategies to face the opponents they will face. But it seems that this free time does not have much influence on the performance of the Juventus players.

Apart from that, Inter Milan is currently still firmly at the top of the standings. Maybe Inter Milan will continue to be safe at the top of the standings until this season ends.

Sorry bro, football is not like that, in football if you are doing well, you will be praised and applauded for it, but when you are performing below par, you will be criticized, which to me is normal in the beautiful game of football, klopp killed the game for his team with wrong substitutions, but congrats to Manchester united for seizing the opportunity.

Concerning the title, I don't really think the title is slipping away from them, they are actually still in the mixed, and to me they even have a friendly fixture compared to their both counterpart, so to me it's Liverpool title to lose, they just have to keep on winning till the last day of the season.
However, don't criticize too much because Manchester United, who play on their own, of course have a large percentage of winning this match, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if Manchester United were able to win and advance to the semifinals.
In football anything can happen and what Klopp does is inseparable from the tactics he uses to improve the team's performance and no one knows what bad things might happen, I think that's quite natural.
Klopp had his own intention different from Ten Hag intention so I see no reason blaming klopp, although Liverpool also had every chance of winning like Manchester united, let's not judge thinking only Manchester united had all the chance meanwhile Liverpool never used their opportunity right, Manchester united played excellent and I got surprised with their performance, I strongly believe ten hag played just little role in united success against Liverpool. Let's just accept the fact Liverpool tried their best but still it was not enough and stop blaming klopp.
Yes, don't criticize Klopp too much. Although Klopp's substitutions at the last minute were less effective and actually became Liverpool's weak point. But in reality, Klopp is also just an ordinary human being who can definitely make mistakes. So if you just blame Klopp one-sidedly, I think that's very unfair. Because in essence the cause of Liverpool's defeat against Manchester United was not just Klopp's replacement of players. However, the stamina factor of Liverpool players also has a big influence. Because what I saw, in the first half and second half the performance of the Liverpool players was still very fit. However, during extra time, the Liverpool players looked very tired. Because from the perspective of attacks and ball control carried out by Liverpool players, have experienced a drastic decline. And Manchester United players can make good use of this.

So in my opinion the stamina factor was the biggest cause of Liverpool's defeat against Manchester United. Yes, of course this defeat should be used as a very important lesson for Liverpool players. Especially in terms of stamina, I think it needs to be increased again. And with this defeat Liverpool had to give up one trophy. But that's okay, there is still the UCL trophy that Liverpool can chase.

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.
Before Barcelona's match against Atletico Madrid took place, I personally thought Barcelona would definitely win the match. Even though Barcelona has appeared erratic this season, I see the potential for Barcelona to recover at the end of the season. Because after all, Barcelona is a big team and don't forget that last season Barcelona was also able to finish at the top of the La Liga standings. So this season Barcelona can definitely achieve good results in La Liga, even though they won't be at the top of the standings, but at least Barcelona can be in second place. And I think this will not be difficult for Barcelona. Moreover, if Barcelona continues to be consistent with its current performance, it is certain that the matches it will face in the future will not be too difficult for Barcelona.

Apart from that, Barcelona also managed to enter the last 8 of the Champions League (UCL) after beating Napoli in the second leg. So this is a sign that Barcelona will rise again from its downturn. After various obstacles that came in the way, such as Xavi's departure from the coaching chair after this season, the team's poor performance, and the lack of financial matters. But now this doesn't seem to be a problem for Barcelona players. Because what I see from my point of view, currently the Barcelona players look happier and can make peace with the situation that befell their club. And currently the Barcelona players seem to have returned to focusing on the existing competition. So it is certain that with this, Barcelona will definitely shine again.

So far Al Hilal have proven their capacity as one of the strongest teams in the Saudi league, even when they are now confirmed to win the Arab League this season but still they are targeting victory in each of their remaining games, a remarkable comeback they showed in that match when we considered a draw to be the final result of the game.

Damac actually played quite well in the first half and even they were able to continue to break the attack built by Al Hillal throughout the first half, even entering the second half, Al Hillal attackers actually looked very frustrated when each of their attacks had to fail due to the solid defense of the damac players, but it was not Al Hillal club if they just gave up and even when the game had entered extra time they were getting more intense Damac attack who finally made a comeback through Michael goal in the 90+3 minute and made the score 2-1 for Al Hillal's victory, the victory made Al Hilal unbeaten this season and the victory over Damac was their 18th consecutive victory, now Al Hilal has left Al Nassr with 12 points until week 24.
Yes, this season Al Hilal has become a successful Saudi Arabian club with the European players it has bought. Because if you look at other clubs in Saudi Arabia that have brought in top European players such as Al Nasr and Al Ahli, the results are less than satisfactory. In fact, if you look at the quality of the players that Al Hilal has, you could say that they are not as good as the players that Al Nasr (European players) have. In fact, many people think that Al Hilal will not be able to compete with Al Nasr. Because this was caused by Neymar's injury.

But now Al Hilal has proven that the players it has are of very good quality in all aspects. Both in terms of teamwork and the individual abilities possessed by each player. So with all these components, Al Hilal is currently unbeaten in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

Apart from that, in the match against Damac, Al Hilal gave a very interesting spectacle. Even though many of the attacks launched by the Al Hilal players were thwarted by the Damac players, this was very entertaining for the audience who watched it. The reason is that in the end Al Hilal was able to win the match at a very crucial moment.

Maybe now there is nothing wrong if we mention Al Hilal who will definitely become champions of the Saudi Arabian League (SPL). Because as you said, Al Hilal's point difference is very superior and difficult for other clubs in the SPL to catch up with. Then in the upcoming match, Al Hilal is scheduled to compete with al Shabab. I am sure that in this match Al Hilal will definitely be able to bring home 3 more points.
