I thought Monza would be very close to the relegation zone. But the Monza players played very well. They were confident. So the team was able to fight hard even against the big teams. This team can strengthen their position in Serie A if they stay confident. They have several weaknesses within the team. As such, the attacking lineup needs to strengthen them. I would say that if only the attack improves, this team will be able to put on an incredible performance next season.
Monza has starting the league with no victory in the last 6 matches and everybody thought they will be relegated at that time but Silvio Berlusconi has decide to sacked their previous manager Giovanni Stroppa and his position was replace by Raffaele Palladino and apparently this is good decision and Palladino debut match with Monza was very fantastic because at that time Monza can able to beat Juventus and from total 32 matches with new manager Monza has been able to collect 13 wins and this also make they can able to survive in Serie A just like their first target when they got promoted and last season Monza is a giant killer because they can beat strong teams such as Juventus, Inter Milan and Napoli but i still considers them as mediocre team and for next season it would be interesting whether Monza can finish at the better position than last season or not |

I just realized that early stage for champion league will be starting next week and 4 teams will fight to get 1 ticket to first qualification of champion league but mostly these teams will be very unfamiliar to us because they come from the countries that has a low ranking according to UEFA and here is the teams below
Inter Club d'Escaldes (Andorra) vs FK Budućnost (Montenegro)
Tre Penne (San Marino) vs Breiðablik (Iceland)
The winner from these matches will met again on June 30 to get one place on first qualification of champion league and on July the winner of that match will fight against Ireland team Shamrock Rovers

I think Xabi Alonso is one of the few successful coaches who became a coach after becoming a football player. If we count Xavi, who also gave Barça a new tactical advantage, this is a success that has been less in recent years. I look at the extension of the contract by Bayer Leverkusen with certainty. I expect them to have great success this year as well.
Xabi was successful coach for leverkusen to help it leave from relegation zone. it's different personal. Xabi was able changing leverkusen so much. It's not only from the descipline of players, increasing the ball possessions owner by the club through implementing tiki taka to the leverkusen and many more. I think that if leverkusen gonna be one if strong contender to win the league like bayern or dortmund. As far as i know that if this is also making xabi is also making the club to be even more careful with its defending strategy. Xabi may have bette squad this year compared with last year. As you can see that xabi already signed during the middle of season and he has no choice to make some transfers caused by the transfer season already closed. The fact that if xabi may potentially push its club to be able compete in the top place against bayern and dortmund next season. Leverkusen and Xabi had experience fantastic moment last season because under Xabi Leverkusen has been change became an strong team in Bundesliga and Xabi has successfully to improved Leverkusen position from 16th place to 6th place at the end of competition and it automatically make them will playing at european competition and in europa league too Xabi has made a history with bringing Leverkusen to reach semifinal match and this is their first time since 21 years ago Some people considers Xabi is potential coach and they even predict someday if Klopp leave Liverpool then he can be considering as the replacement of Klopp and about him and Leverkusen i am quite optimistic Leverkusen will be performing better next season under him especially Leverkusen almost be certain to get new player Granit Xhaka from Arsenal but Xabi too have to ensure other key players will be staying because some players such as Moussa Diaby and Jeremie Frimpong has been targetted by big team just like Manchester United |

Tonali is very close to leaving AC Milan for joining Newcastle.
They are talking about 80m €
He is quite an important player in the ac milan squad, i don't believe the management will sell tonali to newcastle united. So if this really happens I think AC Milan will be quite difficult to find the right replacement like Tonali for next season. Tonali is the best midfielder for now i guess if Ac milan doesn't see the money in this then i'm sure they wont let him go. However, in the latest developments, it seems that Newcastle United is really not standing still to get the Tonali, they will comply with AC Milan request at the release price. I think ac milan without their Tonali will be weak enough for next season. In my opinion it's not about important player or not but i think it's all about money because if this transfer happend and Newcastle really buy him with 80 millions then it could be good for Milan financial condition because we all know some of Italian teams had financial problem including Milan so these conditions make them unable to buy star players and if there is a player who have potention to be sold with expensive price then i am sure they will thinking to sell them and Milan can used those money to bought several players this summer so it could be good deal for them however if this rumour is true and Sandro Tonali really moved to Newcastle then he will broke the records as the most expensive selling player in club history |

contrary to this, it is unlikely that sevilla can afford any major signings with the clubs financial standing and yes, getting champions league football does not change that position. it is left to see if sevilla are able to get quality loan signings, else they would struggle with relegation like the just concluded season
It's difficult to fight in the Champions League when a team doesn't have high-quality players, but in the season that just finished Sevilla were still able to stay in the middle area of the final standings and it's not that close to relegation. But for next season Sevilla will have to fight even harder because they are already in a tougher competition apart from La Liga, because the Champions League is a league for the best teams from several domestic leagues. I don't believe that Sevilla will be able to perform as well in the Champions League as they do in the Europa League. The Champions League is one of the biggest leagues and is every team's dream to win. Sevilla can only succeed by winning the Europa League, even though it is also a league that every team would like to win but not as much as the Champions League. Because Sevilla won the Europa League, they will perform well in the Champions League; otherwise, I doubt they won't even come close to competing in the Champions League because they finished in the top 12 of the La Liga league. Last season Sevilla almost being to relegated but luckily they sacked Jorge Sampaoli and choose Mendilibar as the replacement and it took only two month for Mendilibar to improved Sevilla performance and the result is Sevilla can able to survive on Laliga and gets europa league trophy and after seeing this achievement i am sure Sevilla will performing well next season But i don't think Mendilibar will considers champion league as his main target because we all know champion league is the place where strong teams available and it's hard for Sevilla to compete against those team and although Sevilla status has just gets europa league trophy but Sevilla status on champion league is only mediocre team and in my opinion Mendilibar current target is bringing Sevilla to finish at the better position than last season in Laliga and if they can probably Sevilla will aiming top 4 position |

I'm not very comfortable with the amount Arsenal have spent to sign Kai Havertz. I think his performance wasn't worth 60 million pounds. I wonder how big transfer budget Arsenal have in the recent times as well. Because they have started to spend a lot of money recently. We aren't used to seeing Arsenal doing this normally. It looks like something has started to change.
It is good to see changes but it feels like they could have found a more reliable midfielder for this amount. Havertz isn't the worst player of course. He is quite decent actually but Chelsea used him out of his natural position so often that I don't know how good he would do at Arsenal. I don't expect them to do the same to him though.
Some people says Chelsea has been wasted his talent because basically Havertz position is false nine striker and since in Leverkusen he has been playing on that position and Havertz can able to performing well and it also make Chelsea are interested to him at that time and they are willing to pay 70 millions as transfer fee but since he arrived to Chelsea Havertz was played not in his real position so that's why since playing with Chelsea Havertz was never can able to scores more than 10 goal per season in premier league This is good decision for Havertz because if he staying at Chelsea it wouldn't be good for his career but about the price maybe Arteta know his potention and that's why Arsenal are willing to pay 60 millions as fee transfer and apparently Arsenal owner this summer will provide huge funds for Arteta because possibly Arsenal will bought more players who has expensive price and the next player who have potention to buy with huge money is Declan Rice |

I look forward to seeing Frosinone's performance next season. I have seen the performances of Geona and Cagliari before. But the Frosinone team is completely new to me. Hopefully they can maintain stability in Serie A.
This is not the first time for Frosinone to playing at Serie A because if i am not mistaken they were got promotion on season 2018/2019 but they weren't last long because Frosinone has been relegated after only playing for one season and now after Frosinone being an Serie B champion most people has ben talking about their manager Fabio Grosso because it took only 2 season for him to make Frosinone return to Serie A but Groso has difficult jobs because he have to bringing this team to survive and it won't be easy especially Frosinone is the team with lack of star players Frosinone has several important players such as Mario Sampirisi, Luca Maziatelli and their striker Samuele Mulattieri who scores 12 goals last season and these players were very solid and being an the key players for almost every matches but to reach their target i think they have to bought some players because Serie A is hard and there were plenty of strong teams at there and only tough team who can able to survive |

There are speculations about Arsenal allowing Thomas Partey to leave this summer. Honestly I don't really have a problem with selling Partey at that amount. The problem is also selling Xhaka as well. It'll really leave their midfield lacking in experience though. In as much as I want him gone too but not on the back of losing two of their midfield generals at one go.
Remember that the midfield is at the heart of how they play. Even if the new guy comes in and hits the ground running, we can't realistically expect two new midfielders to hit it off immediately.
Thomas Partey has a contract until 2025 but Arsenal will let him to left this team this summer and so far the reasons why Arsenal allowing him moved to other clubs because recently Partey is injured prone and compared to when he was arrived in 2020 Partey performance was decline so that's why Arsenal are decide to sell him but not much offers came to this player and only Arabian teams but it wasn't mentioned which team who really interested to him Arsenal also will added 2 more players into their sell lists and the name such as Kieran Tierney and Eddie Nketiah possibly will be sell and Arsenal will listen the offers from other teams to these players and if it looks reasonable then they will considers to sell them immediately but Kieran Tierney currently was linked to Newcastle and the negotiations still under progress and apparently Arsenal seem to be making big changes for next season because they will sell some of players which Arteta felt could not live up to his expectations |

After 7 years finally Arsenal will return to champion league again and i am curious how far they can go in this competition because on season 2017 Arsenal still trained by their legendary manager Arsène Wenger and they were very impressive at group stage even at that time Arsenal can able to qualified with unbeatable status and being an group champion because finish at first place but round of 16 is compeletely messed up for them because their journey have to stopped because on that stage they were eliminate by Bayern Munich with aggregate 10-2
If i am not mistaken group drawing will be held at August 31 and Arsenal will into pot 2 with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Dortmund and Arsenal will potentially be in a group with a strong team like Barcelona, Bayern Munich or maybe PSG because these teams status has into pot 1 but Arteta seems very confident Arsenal will be qualified to the next round but he said the current squad still not enough to compete to champion league so that's why Arteta still attempts to gets several players this summer

I'm quite curious what steps Mendilibar will make in the transfer market later because after all, of course they also have to be able to make sure they don't get messy again in the La Liga standings. Therefore, Mendilibar should prepare his squad even better so that he can compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings. Because regarding Sevilla who will play in the Champions League next season, I personally don't have too much hope because if Sevilla fail to finish in the top two in the group phase later and will only be in third place, then Sevilla will return to play in the Europa League. Therefore, I personally don't have too much hope for Sevilla in the Champions League, but I hope that Mendilibar can form an even better squad to make Sevilla compete again in the top four in the La Liga standings.
The latest news from this team is Sevilla is officially has new sporting director Victor Orta and he has became an the replacement of Monchi who has left this team and joining Aston Villa and Victor Orta first movement is he want to bring Leeds player Rodrigo moved to Sevilla and Orta is very confident will gets this player soon and apparently Sevilla want to improved their forward lines by bought new strikers I can understand why Mendilibar want to focus to gets new strikers this because although Sevilla has several players on that position but during last season only Youssef En Nesyri can able to performing well and about Rodrigo although Leeds has been relegated but some of clubs has noticed to his talent including Sevilla and he can be potential player for Sevilla besides that Sevilla also interested to Rangers player Alfredo Morelos and there was a rumour too former of PSG and Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos has been considers return to Sevilla |

Honestly I’m not happy that Arsenal is really going to pay what Westham are asking for on Declan Rice that hasn’t played anything worthy of that heavy sum. Honestly Arsenal really need good scouting network. Because this is why good scouting network is so important especially when you aren't on Premier league level of spending. All other big clubs have no problem forking out millions for what ever they want. Brighton for example, the have. Avery good scouting network, that’s because they don’t have the financial capacity. Arsenal really need to find a great scouting team instead of spending all their budget on 2 players.
Arsenal did make an offer of £75 million for Declan Rice and they also offered £15 million as an add-on. But even that offer was rejected by West Ham. I think Arsenal is actually going to spend £100 million on these players. I really do not think it is going to be a very good idea to do that. I mean, Arsenal could find another player with this amount of money. I understand that they feel like they absolutely need him in the squad. But for £100 million I don’t think it is going to be a good transfer. Regardless to say if Declan Rice does not perform well enough, they are not going to be able to sell him for a decent price. I just don’t know if this is a risk worth taking. I already know that Arsenal is ready to spend a lot of money in this transfer market. They are spending £100 million on one player. And they are still going to bring in other players as well. If this transfer happend Declan Rice will broke the record as the most expensive player in Arsenal history but unfortunately West Ham has reject this offers because West Ham only want not less than 100 millions and i think i have to agree with you that 90 millions could be the highest limit for Arsenal because from those money they can gets more than one good quality players and according to the football market Declan Rice only have approximately 70-80 millions market value so i fear if Arsenal insist to buy him then it could be overpriced However Arsenal still working on for transfer Ajax player Jurrien Timber and their first bid has been rejected by Ajax because Arsenal offering 30 millions but Ajax want not less than 50 millions but Arsenal is very confident they will gets Jurrien Timber soon and possibly they will offering second bid in the near future which is the price will be higher than their current bid |

In the match against Iceland, Portugal should have won with a fairly superior score, but again their finishing still looked bad to convert into goals. Portugal managed to score a goal in the final minutes through Cristiano Ronaldo's kick which took advantage of Goncalo Inacio's assist which also closed the victory for Portugal with a score of 0-1. There was tension after the goal as the referee had to look at the VAR to determine whether it was offside or not, but it appeared to be a goal and Cristano met the goal with his teammates.
In this match, Cristiano Ronaldo also re-entered his name in the Guinness Book of World Records after reaching 200 caps with Portugal. It's definitely not easy during his 20-year career with Portugal and at 38 he can still be decisive in victory for Portugal.
Since the beginning of match apparently Iceland was aiming draw result from this match because they had displayed defensive style game and probably they were realized it's hard for them to beat Portugal and you can see it from their statistics that Iceland only have 28% ball possessions and Iceland can able to managed their defense until 88 minutes but indeed everything looks different when Willumsson got the red card that Portugal can easily to penetrate their defensive lines which make Ronaldo can able to scored goal and bringing Portugal to collect 3 points from this match and after this result Portugal has 12 points from 4 matches and they got first place with 2 points difference above to Slovakia |

Portugal journey for qualification matches seems very smooth that 13 goals from 3 matches and still cleansheet proven they are strong candidate to qualified and so far in group J only Slovakia who considers as strong contender for them but i think Portugal without any problem can able to beat Slovakia if these teams will meet later because on the paper and squad quality Portugal is much better than Slovakia
Today Portugal will attempts to resumes their winning streak by facing Iceland and this should be easy match especially Iceland is not in the good shape because they had just lose from Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina so Portugal had good chances to collect 3 points today although they will playing for away match but Portugal still too strong for Iceland and for betting options Portugal has odds @1.31 this is not the best odds but i think this is safe pick

In this season's transfer market, it seems that AC Milan is one of the teams that has yet to bring new players to the club from the ongoing transfer market. And AC Milan has also not recorded releasing many players. Only Zlatan Ibrahimovic has decided to retire and has said goodbye from AC Milan.
Meanwhile, Napoli have now got 2 additional players to their club in the transfer market which actually only opened in the last few days. The 2 players are Giacomo Raspadori and Giovanni Simeone. It seems that the transfer market this time is not too hot for Serie A clubs.
Milan still looking for the players this summer but indeed so far it just a rumour and there was no certain news about who is the player that will be bought by Milan and apparently Pioli currently want to focus looking for new striker because after Ibrahimovic got retired and Brahim Díaz return to Real Madrid then automatically Milan only have Olivier Giroud and they cannot rely on this player for whole season especially Giroud have already 36 years old so Milan is required to buy new striker and indeed they have Divock Origi but after transfered from Liverpool Origi seems has lost his touch and cannot able to performing well I was found one name who possibly will bought by Milan and it was Borussia Monchengladbach player Marcus Thuram and after decide will not to extended his contract in Monchengladbach reported some of big clubs were interested to Thuram including Milan and the latest is PSG and Pioli feel Thuram can be suitable as the replacement of Ibrahimovic that's why he personally will try to persuade Thuram to moved to Milan and if Thuram is willing to move to Milan then they will offering long term contract duration to him |

Dortmund have already thought of a replacement for Jude Bellingham according to Transfermarkt. This player is Edson Alvarez who is a defensive midfielder playing for Ajax. He is the second most valuable player in Ajax squad right now. He is mostly playing in this position but he can be used as a centre-back when there is a need also. However I don't see this being the direct replacement for Bellingham. Because Bellingham is more like an attacking midfielder as you know. There is a significant difference between their roles as a result. I guess that Dortmund aren't planning to make him get used to playing in the same role as Bellingham but let's see. There is a significant difference in terms of direct or indirect goal contribution between these players this season. The source: https://www.transfermarkt.com/edson-alvarez-dortmund-want-ajax-star-as-jude-bellingham-replacement/view/news/423200Some people has calling him as Casemiro from Mexico because his game of style is not so different like Casemiro this because Edson Alvarez is very strong to help defense and he has good skill as holding midfielder and sometimes he create some of opportunities to scores goals just like playmaker and often too scores some of important goals and help Ajax to win the matches and i understand why you called him as one of valuable player in Ajax because he is important player in this team but indeed in the term of attacking Bellingham is much better than him but currently Dortmund has Julian Brandt and i think he can be performing well as Dortmund attacking midfielder or as the replacement of Bellingham and if Dortmund want to buy Edson Alvarez i think this is could be good purchase because it can be strengthen Dortmund squad |

Simeone apparently very confident with his current squad and that's why he has confirmed will not bought a lot of players to strengthen his squad this summer and it says he and Atletico Madrid will focusing to renew the contract some of players and recently Atletico has been attempts to give contract extension to their captain Koke Resurreccion and besides that Simone will attempts to hold some of important players such as Griezmann who targetted by MLS club and Alvaro Morata who aiming by Arabian club but Simone said if he want to buy players probably he will find new defenders and midfielder players but regarding forward lines although most likely Joao Felix will leave but Atletico still have Alvaro Morata, Griezmann or Memphis Depay

I don’t see Chelsea improving in the next season, to be honest. I would much further put my money on Liverpool. Because I believe if Liverpool can get a really good striker in the team, they will be able to fix most of their problems.
But we cannot say the same for Chelsea. Chelsea will have to make big changes in the team and also get a good manager. It’s really good manager can fix the problems that Chelsea has right now. But even then it will take a lot of time. Chelsea will have to spend a lot of money. I hope they are ready to do that in the next season.
Since there is no big change in Chelsea squad, I also doubt that Chelsea will have a better performance in the next season. Chelsea needs to rebuild their attacking line if they are serious to improve their performance. So far, Cheslea can't sign a top striker, they are only rumored to sign a top striker. The current strikers of Chelsea are not really productive, they rarely scored during the last season. Liverpool seems a bit better, they still have a good squad although they failed to perform at their best in the last season. If Liverpool can sign a top striker in the current transfer window, they surely may have a chance to perform well in the next season. Well, they have enough wingers, but they only have Nunez in the CF position. So, I agree that they need a CF (striker) now. According to his contract Pochettino will train Chelsea on July 1 so he can start to working at this team according to his contract agreement and now Pochettino still not officially Chelsea manager yet but i am sure he already know which players to buy and which players to sell and i think why still no big change for Chelsea until now because Pochettino is more cautiously to make a movement in the transfer market because he don't want to make a mistake just like Potters did who in rush to buy players and i am not a Chelsea fans but i am sure Chelsea will be better under him And for Liverpool i couldn't find any news that Liverpool aiming new striker and probably Klopp current focus is to gets more midfielder players because some of players such as Naby Keita ,James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain already leave but indeed they should be buy at least 1 striker as the replacement of Firmino although this is not too necessary because the player just like Diogo Jota can be played as centre striker and i have seen this several times last season and the result is very satisfied because at that position Jota can able to scores goals several times |

The england boys are just totally having fun with their fixture with north Macedonia, I mean 7-0 trashing is not something you see everyday especially not in a country game qualifiers like this. Harry kane and his boys are having the night of their lifes as they continue pouring the goals in without any relent. It would be nice to see them play like this in the actual tournament but we all know thats going to be a different story.
England national team had a very easy day at the office today against North Macedonia with a 7:0 thrashing. England even had more chances to make it 10 on the night but didn't convert all their chances. France 1:0 at home to Greece should be a major concern for French national team coach after because though they got the maximum three points needed in the game, they're still supposed to win a better margin against a tram like Greece North Macedonia is only weak team in group C and they probably can able to win against weaker teams but when they facing strong team North Macedonia always be lose and that's why before the match begin some of bookmakers provide low odds for England approximately @1.08 because they know it's impossible for North Macedonia to beat England and this result is really boosted England squad mentally because they can earn 12 points from 4 matches besides that this match also very special because Bukayo Saka has just made his first hattrick in his football career France vs Greece seems very interesting because surprisingly Greece can able to performing well and they can guard France front lines such as Mbappe or Griezmann but indeed one mistakes from Greece player make France can able to scored from penalty kick and apparently this is the only goal during this match but i didn't satisfied to see France performance because i expect they can win with 2 goals margin or more |

Mudryk is a brilliant player but he is still quite new in the field, and he needs more time and experience to play better as a team member. The guy has talents that could be enhanced further with more gameplay experience, but his chemistry with teammates is weak, and that isn't a good thing during a match, because other teams with better chemistry can secure more goals against Mudryk's team. Mudryk is still quite young and has played only a few games in Premier League, and I expect that he could be a great asset for Chelsea with more gameplay experience. Mudryk has outstanding dribbling skills and he can improve his teaming skills to secure many goals for the club.
Are you joking about mudryk was a brilliant player? What good things that already contributed by him for chelsea? he contributed nothing last season. 0 goal and 1 celebration. There's no worst thing that seeing him celebrating the goal that being anuled by referee. Mudryk pretty much the same like a stupid transfer. I don't even know how stupid todd by paying him for a lot of money. Shakhtar was a brilliant club by selling him for big amounts of money. Chelsea has been changing its coaches three times in a half of season but mudryk's performance was still stagnant and he never made huge contribution. I doubt if mudryk will able perform better compared with last season. In my opinion if there will be no improvement happened to him next season. Mudryk actually is a good player and he was performing well at Shakhtar Donetsk which make Potter was tempting to his talent and buy him but indeed he is overpriced because as a player with a price of 100 millions he should be able to give important contribution for Chelsea and indeed currently he was one of Chelsea's worst purchases in the winter transfer but because he is not on the list of players for sale i think Mudryk can showing to the fans that he can adapt and performing well next season and i have been notice one of important thing why Mudryk cannot able to performing well is he was lost his confidence and in my opinion he should be able to pick himself up and regain confidence |

I just looked at today's games and I see only France vs. Greece as an interesting one. It should be a game for the first place and the winner will get himself a good advantage for the future. The two nations are separated by three points, but that is because Greece has one game less than France. But I think that France should have no problem winning against Greece.
The competitions in the group B is very tight because some of tough teams are in this group and besides France other favourite team just like Netherlands also had ambition want to qualified and besides them Ireland also cannot be say as weak team and for today match both teams are in the good shape because France has just gets perfect points from 3 matches and Greece also in the positive conditions because they got 6 points from 2 matches Deschamps has considers this is important match and he doesn't want to get slipped from this match because if lose or draw France position will be difficult and i think obviously France is the favourite especially currently they will playing at home and both teams were never met before but not necessary to mention because on the paper France should be able to win this match and for betting option France win has low odds @1.30 and actually this is safe bet although i didn't satistfied to see the current odds |
