in fact dortmund do not aim to win the domestic league every season, their target is only to finish in the top four of the Bundesliga. dortmund have done their business right, they make huge revenue from every sale of players in the transfer market.  dortmund are one of those teams who are good at seeing the potential of young players, that's why dortmund don't sign big stars for high prices or keep their stars, because that's not their goal.
actually dortmund have prepared sabastien haller as their mainstay striker, however, fate said otherwise.
They are aware that even if they are determined, this is still quite a difficult thing for them to do because indeed in this case they will not be able to compete with Bayern and even if they can of course it requires considerable capital and effort so one of the best things is to let Bayern are free to be champions and they are realizing their potential in producing talented young players to sell for more.
If Dortmund has the intention to win the title, then it is easy for Dortmund to keep the star players it has. Because Dortmund only buys players who have potential and eventually become stars with a high selling price, but in the end Dortmund never keep them except for the players themselves who have the desire to stay at Dortmund like Marco Reus for example. In this case, Dortmund is not a pessimistic team because Bayern Munich is so dominating, it's just that Dortmund does not have the determination to win the title so that competition in the title race does not occur in the Bundesliga.
And if you go back and take a quick look at some of those players who's left already, you'll see majority has won some big trophies outside Borrussia Dortmund, Gotze, Lewandoski, Aubameyang, Mkhiytariyan, Hakimi etc. Some big talented names you see, but they seem to be okay every year winning the second bundesliga cup competition lol.

Marco Reus has been the only loyal lad that has refused to leave Dortmund till this moment, one can bet his/ her savings of him saying, he'll end his professional career as a Dortmund player..... Haller? I did wish him speedy recovery over there on twitter, social media really ain't everything but I wish he gets better and come back scoring goals for Dortmund. Champions League highest goal in the group stage was dominated by him,.

Yes, among all the players in the Bundesliga, Reus was the only one who was keen on staying with Dortmund. And to be honest I don't know why he decided to do that. It is likely that he wanted to make a change to something. Perhaps he wanted to change the trend of Dortmund selling the elite players they produce in order to change the way they operate.

However, one player or one person cannot be able to change everything on their own. It is for this reason that players do not wish to stay in Dortmund after they become recognized by the club. This team knows that it will not be a suitable team for the future of the franchise and the legacy of any player on this team. It is just a matter of Dortmund taking part in everything. In their games, they don't play to win.

Paulo Dybala put in an excellent performance and inspired Roma's win over Monza at the Stadio Olimpico, having scored two of Roma's three goals. Dybala played well during the game before he was substituted.

Last season when he was in Juventus Dybala was often a substitute, as well as in the Argentine national team, because Dybala had problems with his fitness, but this season under manager Jose Mourinho Dybala has performed well in Roma's first three matches in Serie A 2022/ 2023, However, Dybala is new able to score in the fourth week of while reaching 100 goals in Serie A.
Dybala often has problems with his fitness so he is unable to maintain his best form at Juventus. In the 29 match he played for Juventus last season in Serie A so his stats are only 10 goals and 5 assists that Dybala can have, that is definitely not something good for a striker like Dybala. The team expects more and the fans expect the same.

At Roma Dybala can also be doubted about his form, he is very erratic but Dybala can be expected to make a good contribution to Roma's attacking power this season. So far 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 Roma match, but still maybe more. 2017-18 was Dybala's best season at Juventus, in 33 match he scored 22 goals and 5 assists, but after that the statistics dropped.

The performance of Paulo Dybala in this match was really impressive. In addition to making some amazing runs, he also scored two very good goals as well. As well as Abraham, he also played very well in this match. There was an easy goal that Belotti could have scored, if he had done so, it would have been a dream debut for him.

During this match, Roma also had some really good chances to take the lead by a significant margin, but they were unable to convert those easy chances into goals that would have put them ahead by a considerable margin. It is evident that Monza's defense was almost nonexistent as well. Despite Dybala's recent scores for Roma, I think he has a lot more to be able to accomplish.

India is playing well and i am sure they will be eyeing at least 200 runs today. India has almost qualified for the 2nd round.
150 is good enough against a team like Hong Kong if you ask me. Their players make it seem like it's a team from India or Pakistan or Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.
If India scores only 150 against Hong kong and wins the match too, i would consider it a defeat for the Indian team. A team as big as India should win the match convincingly to boost their own confidence and give a strong message to the other teams in the tournament. For India, it's not about winning, it's about dignity to winning with a big margin.
India is well on target to make a big total today. Surely they will score above 180+ today.

India set a huge target of 193. Although I expected India to collect more than 200 today. Virat Kohli is back in form. He collected 59 runs off 44 balls. Suryakumar Yadav played a brilliant innings of 68 runs off just 26 balls. He hit 6 over boundaries and 6 fours. Due to his extraordinary innings, India was able to set a target of 193 runs. However, I wouldn't call 193 runs a bad collection against a team like Hong Kong. India will be able to win the match very easily. But I would be happy if they could collect more than 200. Virat Kohli is batting very slow. Since this is a T20 format, Kohli should have batted a bit more aggressively.

Erik ten Hag feels confident that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window, although in recent days talks about a move have been discussed between Napoli and Ronaldo's former club Sporting CP.
Well, it is actually looking like Ronaldo isn't going anywhere, and i just think it is because nobody wanted to buy him, rather than Manchester United not wanting him to leave, i mean, just take a look at the teams that reports claim have been interested thus far this summer, they are either teams that Ronaldo can never play in, like Athletico Madrid and Chelsea, or teams that are not really good/better than Manchester United, like Napoli, Sporting and the rest; i actually feel sorry for Ronaldo that this is happening to him at this time in his career, but the closer we get to deadline day, the more it becomes obvious that Ronaldo would not be playing Champions League football this season.

Having said that, another problem Ronaldo might likely face in Manchester United this season is playing time, he might not get as much playing time as he will want, and that might create problems between himself and the manager, but overall, whatever the outcome is, Ronaldo must act like a professional that he is, and give his very best to the team whenever he is called upon.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo did not want to go to any of the teams that showed an interest in him. If this player had gone into those teams, it would have actually been a demotion for him. In addition, it has to be said that despite the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the best players in the world, teams are not going to want a 37 year old player getting a very large salary when he might not even play for 90 minutes a game.

In Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has already been excluded from starting the match. I also believe that he may not be able to get the late time that he is hoping for. It really is my hope that Manchester United will be able to start playing better in the future and that Cristiano Ronaldo will also be able to get back into form.

Big fours are formed because rest of the boards surrendered there rights to them. Recently women cricket is included in common wealth games but not men. The real reason is big 3 don't wanna cricket to have more counties that can challenge there authority.
They are afraid that their revenue may get impacted. If cricket is included in multi-sport events such as Olympics, then there is not much financial benefit for the ICC (or for the national boards). In the end, cricket is being administered by businessmen and their sole consideration is money. That is the reason why they don't want men's cricket in Olympics. Another reason is that for Olympics direct qualification is not allowed. Each and every team needs to take part in the qualifier tournament. This is not acceptable for boards such as the BCCI.
The biggest part of this all talk is they are afraid of get impacted in revenue which they don't want specially BCCI because they are big gainer and with this all they are not feeling good it's all understandable so if they are not happy then surely others can go by their own way which is also not bad at all.
BCCI not participated in these events because if they are not happy then surely they can leave this all for others which is also not bad and if they want to do then surely they can go with option like Under-23 teams or all teams can send their A team which is also not bad at all because in soccer they are mostly sending their Under-23 teams which are also good for the all countries and BCCI is not happy with qualifier it's really disgusting they have to follow all rules which are applicable and others are going through with them.

@Sithara007 and @wiss19 But aren’t having cricket as an Olympic sport going to increase the popularity of cricket?
Which in the future is going to increase the revenue eventually?
ICC is a big sports body and they should understand this. And they should also know that the big four are doing this just because they don’t want to lose their authority over the ICC.

@WatChe, It is true that if the other cricket boards just did not surrender their rights to the big four, there wouldn’t have been any big four.
But right now it is too late to come out of that situation. ICC is the one who needs to take steps.

Chelsea vs Southampton is an interesting match that will determine if truly Chelsea will survive in this season or not, because Southampton will never allow Chelsea to win this match than to make it draw 1-1. Southampton coach is not too happy about the results they got from this season that made many people to doubt their winning in this match because their strikers are still struggle to score goals in this season.
Southampton will try their best to get at least 1 point in this match. On the other hand, Chelsea need 3 points in this match to climb the points table. Chelsea's gameplay has not been good so far this season. In 4 matches they scored only 5 goals, while conceding 6 goals. The team's performance in both defense and forward has been poor. So it is difficult for Chelsea to win against Southampton. But I am quite optimistic that Chelsea will be able to get 3 points today. The match has just started. Let's enjoy the match.

Maybe your guess is going to be right. Chelsea now leads 1-0. Raheem Sterling at 23 minutes of match time. Chelsea is performing very cautiously today. They didn't play aggressively and they made only 3 shots in 25 minutes. In today's match, they are focusing more on ball possession. As Chelsea's performance is not very good right now, Ajek's match strategy seems quite useful to me. If the Chelsea players continue their dominance like this, they will leave the field with 3 points in today's match.  But Southampton won't let Chelsea win easily. They have the ability. And Southampton continues to try to equalize the match.

I congratulate the Afghanistan team for their outstanding performance.  After Sri Lanka, this win against Bangladesh also gives them confidence to maintain their good position.  And it is being noticed that Afghanistan are can't be underestimated in the T20 format.
Agreed. It feels great to see Afghanistan improving in the T-20 format in this manner. Bangladesh were wiped out thanks to a late blitz by Zadran which was epic. It looks like AFG is the new BAN these days.

It is true, that Afghanistan players have been able to improve their squad tremendously. They are playing very well. They dominated the entire match against Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan batsmen could not play any big innings against the Afghanistan bowlers. Sri Lankan bowler's performance was good against Bangladesh today.

At the same time, their batsmen batted very responsibly. Earlier Afghanistan team had very few good players except Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan. But now almost every player on the team is capable of performing well. While the performances of teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the West Indies have deteriorated, Afghanistan and Ireland have managed to strengthen themselves.

according to information from 'the athletic', the 27-year-old central defender Manuel Akanji could now be drawn to the premier league. the defensive specialist from switzerland, who has not yet played a single minute this season, is expected to strengthen manchester city. according to the report, the english champions are ready to pay up to €17.5 million transfer fee. MA contract at borussia dortmund expires in 2023.
That transfer would definitely make sense for everyone involved in my opinion. To be honest i am quite surprised that Akanji did not play at all so far in this season given the fact that he was in the starting eleven almost every game in the last season and he also played pretty well back then if you ask me. Seems like the new coach of Dortmund just prefers to play with Hummels and Süle or Schlotterbeck as his central defenders. That makes sense though as Dortmund really wanted to sign those two new defenders.
I still think that Akanji is at least as good as those two and even if he will also not play regularly at ManCity then at least his new club is definitely better than his old one.

Everything regarding this deal for Manuel Akanji is within a few steps of being finalized. There was an offer of €17 million made by Manchester City for this player. I believe that this 27 years old player is going to be a great asset for Manchester City in the future. The defensive lineup of Manchester City will be a lot more complete as a result of Manuel Akanji being a part of the squad.

There is no doubt that playing for Manchester City in the English Premier League is a lot better than playing for Dortmund and losing every single season against Bayern Munich if you were to play for Dortmund Smiley. In other words, if the deal is finally finalized, he is going to have a better performance overall for Manchester City.

Another factor that came to play was Harmer's excellent record at Manchester. He has played close to a decade in English county cricket and he has a prolific record at Old Trafford. Unfortunately for South Africa, nothing worked out in the end and the omission of Marco Jansen proved to be a historical blunder. South Africa's problem is not with the lack of talent. Their real problem is with the opaque selection policy. After getting such a rough treatment, I won't be surprised if Jansen decide to emigrate out of South Africa at some time in the future.
Right now, Quota system and selection policy is the biggest threat for South African cricket if they can't settle this as soon as possible as surely they are going to down even out of the race for staying at top if coloured players are not having enough quality then why they are insisting for them here surely they need to do some better policy or allow more white players because now after thirty years of entry they are still not able to bring changes in domestic setup and have enough quality that surely it's their fault, and they have not to punish white players for this which bring more dilemma in their game and quality.

With this all currently South African biggest enemy is their own policies which are not allowing them for having good results and give quality players chance to go through with team for long time.

Politics and sports have never gone very well alongside each other. It is inevitable that there will always be problems when sports are mixed with politics. But that does not seem to be an issue for the Authority of almost every cricket board, not only South Africa.

Moreover, it is also important to understand that to some extent, the decision of which players will play in the starting 11 is also made by politicians. And it is very true that you cannot put the deciding match on luck Just because a player is showing good promises. You have to play that player who is already delivering the goods. As of now, the momentum is with England, and I believe it will be very difficult for South Africa to win the next match as a result of this.

Anyway, I guess the ICC got more than what they were expecting. Personally I was expecting somewhere in the range of $2.0 to $2.5 billion, given that the reserve price of $1.44 sounded a bit optimistic. Looks as if Disney-Star desperately wanted to win the media rights, since Ten Sports has grabbed the rights to bilateral series with most of the national boards. This bid by Disney-Star just proves how desperate they are. I am interested to know how much the ICC may get from the other regions. US/UK is also a lucrative market and is going in the next round.
Here as things are going with this we can blame ICC and B-4 for this all instead of Olympics Association for cricket is not part of this mega event for long time because they never do their homework and bring suitable policies which is surely all have to done by ICC instead of Olympics Association because they are wide open for this, and they already announce they have nothing from ICC for this which was a slap on them for saying there are some problems by other party.

Olympics Association has their policies and all other sports associations have to follow them, but ICC is not doing anything for this which is the biggest problem that cricket is not part of this event but now as we are reading and feeling things could be positive in next few years, and we will be able to have cricket in this mega event which could be amazing for the fans and the game future.

I think the problem with the Olympics is that in reality, they are not interested in anything other than the actual rules. In addition, the big four cannot impose their authority over the Olympics as well. So we can say that the big four teams are basically saying, and basically convincing the ICC, that introducing cricket to the Olympics is not going to be a smart idea. In addition, the ICC is also on board with that idea.

In spite of this, you can see that if you analyze this from the point of view of the ICC, we will see that they receive the most amount of money from the top four teams. Thus, it makes perfect sense for them to listen to what the top four cricket boards have to say about the matter.

I am eagerly waiting to see Arsenal's performance against Manchester United. But I think Arsenal can win against Manchester United if they continue with the form they are in now. Because, Manchester United's performance is not stable. They are still working hard to stabilize. On the other hand, even though Arsenal have played against weaker teams in their last four matches, Arsenal's performance has been good enough. But if Arsenal is to win the title, they will need to pick up full points against United and continue this streak.
There is still one game before they will finally meet in Week 6. This will be a preparation for both teams to play optimally when they meet. Manchester United will face Leicester, while Arsenal will play Aston Villa. Anything can happen in this game, and I hope both teams will play well and win the game.

I don't think Manchester United and Arsenal will face any problem winning their next match. Manchester United will play an away match against Leicester City. Leicester City has been in poor form this season. They have lost 3 out of 4 matches and drew one. And their position is now at the latest position in the points table. So Manchester United will win the next match very easily.
Arsenal's opponent Aston Villa is also very weak. Lost 3 out of 4 matches and won 1. As Arsenal is in very good form right now. So they won't lose points against a team like Aston Villa.

Man United agree €95m deal for Ajax winger

I think signing Antony for 95 million is a waste of money. It is a huge amount. It's not even that Antony is an important player for Ajax or that he's scoring goals regularly. In the 2021–22 season, Ajax managed to score just 8 goals in 23 appearances in the Eredivisie League. I'm not saying that Antony is a bad player. He is a player with considerable potential, and if Manchester United were able to sign Antony for £40m I would say it would be a good deal.

The Ten Hag are probably not interested in keeping Ronaldo in their squad. Antony's inclusion in the squad will further reduce Ronaldo's chances of being in the starting XI. We don't understand why Ten Hag keeps a talented player like Ronaldo on the bench.
He is a potential young player, regardless of the price given, it is clear that Ten Hag knows the capacity of this player.
He was one of Ten Hag's trusted players when he coached at Ajax. On the other hand, he played an important role in Ajax's performance last season.
On the other hand, it seems that Ten Hag feels that instead of looking for chemistry with other players, it is only his foster children who have been caught like Martinez and Antony who were brought to MU.

I will not argue whether Antony is a promising player. Maybe he is a potential player. He may perform better in the future. But he is still not a good experimented player. Haaland was Dortmund's key player. But Antony is Ajax's main player? I don't think so.

But Tan hag stayed with Antony for a long time. He probably knows this player very well. And maybe Ten Hag could use Antony well. Still I'd say 95 million is too much for Antony. But Manchester United has plenty of money. They need better gameplay now.

it's just the start of the season, what the standings look like don't mean anything yet, let's wait for the next few weeks and see which team will be able to be consistent, Arsenal are pretty good at the moment, I think they will be tight contenders for the title this season. and Liverpool are candidates for champions this season, they are just unlucky or have not performed optimally in the first 3 games and now they have come back with a big win last weekend, I think this is the beginning of Liverpool's revival and for the next match we will see again similar, that's the real Liverpool.
Undoubtedly Arsenal are making a very good start to the season with only victories.
But I believe that the first big difficulty will be next weekend against Man United. Man United need victories, and that's why they will certainly try to give their all in this game.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are doing very well, so it is expected that they will get a good result, but we will see.
Arsenal are doing so well this season with their consistency, I think they are being push by their failure of qualifying for the champions League last season, and that motivation is good one, it gives them an edge over other teams, because they are playing to correct a mistake so that can make them more focused in the job at hand, mikeal Arteta still needs to push the player on more too. there match against Manchester United will show how far they have go though.

I am eagerly waiting to see Arsenal's performance against Manchester United. But I think Arsenal can win against Manchester United if they continue with the form they are in now. Because, Manchester United's performance is not stable. They are still working hard to stabilize.

Breaking news

If you follow fabrizio Romano on YouTube or in other social media handles, you will hear a great news that he announced few minutes ago.

The news is Anthony is finally a Manchester United player. He has agreed a deal of 100 million euros. Ths is a good news for Manchester United, it can also be a sad news for Cristiano Ronaldo and some other of Manchester united players because there will be a great shift in place of people playing. We know that Antonio plays with high energy and he likes pressing football and that is what Eric Ten Hag likes.
If Anthony is the perfect signing that will strengthen the club attacking-wise it's a welcome development irrespective of whether his arrival will lead to the departure of some old players, what matter most is for Erik Ten Hag to deploy his tactics and formations to win matches for Man Utd, I read so much hype about Anthony in Ajax, I hope he live up to expectations because of the his huge sign-on fee, which I believe is overpriced even more expensive than Halaand who is more experience as well as a very good striker, I think Man Utd is synonymous with overpricing new players which isn't fair, they could have bought Aleksandar Mitrovic with a less fee.

If India bats first and can set a target of 190/200 then they have a high chance of winning. Pakistan's batting performance depends on the performance of certain players. If Indian bowlers can bowl controlled they can win this match.
India is bowling first and usually team batting second win in UAE. So far so good for the Indians. They needed to win the toss and bowl first and they are doing just that. Also, Ashwin is not playing today. Baber Azam also said in the toss that they would have wanted to bowl first if they have won the toss. This will be the norm for this tournament to win the toss and field.

Baber Azam and Rizwan to open the innings for Pakistan. Seeing the enthusiasm in the crowd, excitement is just creeping in  Smiley

I have already said that Pakistan's batting performance depends on the performance of certain batsmen. Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman, if these three batsmen play well then it will not be difficult for Pakistan to collect 200 runs. Indian bowlers will have to try their best to prevent these three batsmen from playing long innings.

I would expect more from Indian bowlers Jadeja and Chahal today. If these two bowlers can bowl well, I think India will be in control of the match. I am not a fan of India though. But it seems that India will win today's match. Kohli is in the squad. We all expect a better performance from him.

India and Pakistan match is coming up and i am not happy with the Indian bowling line up, Even though India is the favorite among the bookies i feel that Pakistan have a strong team to win the match. Toss is important as the team chasing has the advantage in UAE pitches.
What is wrong with the Indian bowling lineup? Who do you think should be included in their lineup?  Haven't they selected the best available bowlers ?

The good news for India is that Pakistan bowling is also not so good as Shaheen Afridi won't be playing. Both teams have to score well (whoever goes up first for batting) and set a big target for the opponent.

I don't think the Indian bowling lineup is weak. Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are not bad bowlers. Also, Dubai's pitch probably helps the spinners a bit more. The Indian squad has great all-rounders like Yuzvendra Chahal, Jadeja and Ashwin. I see no reason to call this team's bowling line-up weak. Rather, Pakistan's bowling line-up is weak without Shahin Shah Afridi.

Expecting a really high target in this match. If India bats first and can set a target of 190/200 then they have a high chance of winning. Pakistan's batting performance depends on the performance of certain players. If Indian bowlers can bowl controlled they can win this match.

Xavi needs De Jong, and for a good career De Jong also needs Barcelona. Both need each other, but are sometimes described differently by the media who want to attract more readers. Actually I don't agree with Barcelona's transfer policy which slightly ignores the issue of player salaries and focuses on transfers, but that's the best way to build a team at this time even though sacrificing some things that shouldn't be.

If De Jong leaves Barcelona at the moment, Barcelona's midfield will become unstable. And can't even find a worthy replacement for Xavi de Jong at the moment. And this is why Barcelona is not interested in selling de Jong. De Jong, on the other hand, has been at Barcelona for a long time. He has adapted well to Barcelona. At the moment, he will not be able to easily adapt to any team in the Champions League. So De Jong also wants to stay in Barcelona.

Barcelona spent a lot of money to sign players. But they don't know how Barcelona will pay these star players high wages. Barcelona has already borrowed a lot of money. How Barcelona will overcome their financial crisis is still uncertain.

27th august 2022 is starting The Asia T-20 Cup 2022 . And the match is going to start at 18.00(GST) time between
Sri Lanka VS Afghanistan.
I will take Sri Lanka as favorite team for this match by there recently performance is clear that they are strong than Afghanistan. Even so I am not taking Afghanistan lightly, as their fearsome spinners have a lot of trouble inoculating. Which team you prefer to win ?
Srilanka looks clear in favorites for today's match but i don't take Afghanistan as an easy team as they can show some good performances on the day.
Srilanka will be looking for Dasun Shanaka to continue his good batting form , if he clicks, there is no way Afghanistan can chase big totals or defend moderate totals.
On the other hand, Afghanistan will be looking for Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan to make a difference.

Afghanistan will not be a tough opponent for Sri Lanka if they can continue with the way they have performed in the last few series. But Afghanistan is a good enough team. They have several world-class players in their squad. Their spin bowlers are good enough. Dubai's pitch helps the spin bowlers a lot. And so, even if Sri Lanka is in good form now, there is no way to think of the Afghanistan team as weak. Afghanistan's performance is completely unstable. So it is very difficult to make predictions about this team but the match can be expected to be competitive.

Paulo Dybala will return to Juventus but as an opponent, yes it will be interesting. I want to see how Dybala responds when he has to deal with his former club. Of course he wants to prove himself that Juventus was wrong for selling him. Surely this will be emotional for him, considering he played 7 seasons for Juventus. We'll see what this player will do.
Juventus didn't sell Dybala, his contract ran out and he didn't want to renew so he left for Roma as a free agent. He is not going to try to prove anything to Juve, he left the club in a friendly circumstance and i know all he has for Juventus is respect, and the club respects him too, if he is going to play tomorrow, he is going out there as a professional to do the job he is paid for, it will be an emotional return for him to the place he called home, but that emotion will only be before and after the game, during the match only Roma will be on his mind.

I'm sure he didn't watch the send off from Juventus fans to Paulo Dybala, also seeing that from the fans made Dybala shed tears like a toddler waiting on his mama to breastfeed him.
Just as you have said,  the contract he had with the old ladies got expired. He had contacts with Inter Milan but there wasn't any agreement between both parties.
The call from Jose Mourinho changed everything as he immediately graced the move to As Roma. Roma has won both game's and Juventus? Won one and drew the game prior to this fixture.

Lazio at home doesn't make them favorites or the best side to win the game ,but with the help of the fans and good team play then, sure they can. Inter Milan has always scored first for sometime between this two clubs.
Savic from Lazio would be hoping to score and Lukaku lol back to Italy also, we'll see how it goes tonight.

I don't think there will be any disrespect from Paulo Dybala towards Juventus. He is obviously someone who still has respect for his previous club. Honestly, I don't even expect any kind of exaggerating celebration from him if he does score a goal. I am really confused because in this match of Juventus versus Roma I really don't know who is going to win. But I am really expecting a few goals in this match.

Inter versus Lazio is not going to be that interesting in my opinion because Inter should be the winner in this match. Even though it is going to be played in home conditions for Lazio, I expect Inter to win this match.

Current status 33 minutes ongoing: Inter 0-0 Lazio

Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, 22, may be loaned to Roma according to a news report, Jose Mourinho in a bid to beef up his club midfield after Wijnaldum was injured resorted to sign the Arsenal player, recall last season Maitland-Niles was also loaned to Roma it's like Jose Mourinho is interested in signing Arsenal young midfielders on loan, I believe Lokonga will accept the offer else I don't think there is any space for his breakthrough into Arsenal first team going by the recent signings of new midfielders and with Thomas Partey, Xhaka, Viera and Elneny holding that position it's becomes difficult for Lokonga to get into first team.

Wow! Roma?

I thought he was going to go to AC Milan. But right now it does feel like Jose Mourinho is a lot more interested in him. And this loan can also be very good for this player, Albert Sambi Lokonga who is only 22 years old. Because obviously, he is not going to get too much action in Arsenal right now. Arsenal has recently got some very new and exciting players on the team.

So even though Arsenal is trying to make a game which is full of young players I don't think it is going to be a good idea for him to stay at Arsenal. On the other hand, if he goes to Roma he will be very useful in the midfield area of Roma.
