Jude Bellingham is not only a midfield player; he can also play as a striker. He wants Real Madrid to win every game this season and to become the most renowned team in the world because the absence of Karim Benzema will negatively impact the team. Real Madrid are really fortunate to have a player like Bellingham on their team since, without him, I do not believe that any other Real Madrid player is currently more intelligent than he is.
Yes, you could say, Bellingham has become one of Real Madrid's mainstays this season. And despite this, Real Madrid still needs a striker who can really strengthen the front line. I believe that Bellingham is a multi-talented player who is actually still very young and has a lot of potential. Especially if you look at his contribution in LaLiga. It is undeniable, Bellingham is truly more than we expect. However, if it was in the Champions League, this might be a little different because after all, there are many big clubs from different leagues that they have to face to become champions. However, without a very strong main striker, this will be quite difficult. As good as Bellingham is, this may not be as optimal as when they had Benzema as the main striker up front at that time. So, if it is possible, Real Madrid still needs a stronger main striker, so that it will be more complete, the midfield will also have Bellingham who will definitely support even more strongly. However, we don't know whether our dreams will actually come true or not. What is certain is that there is still hope, but it cannot be too hopeful. Bellingham's role in Real Madrid's game this season is quite important. He has quite good skills in organizing attacks and also has a better finishing rate compared to other players. I think he can replace the role left by Benzema because Bellingham is not only a central midfielder but he is like a striker who is full of ambition to continue scoring goals. If you look at Bellingham's statistics at the start of this season, his goal productivity certainly beats Joselu's, as we know, Joselu is a striker. Thus, Bellingham became Real Madrid's golden boy this season because he was able to provide many of the hopes that Ancelotti wanted, namely delivering wins and victories. If you look at Real Madrid in the Champions League this season, of course they almost had difficulty beating their opponents but Bellingham was able to overcome that. I think if Mbappe comes next season, Bellingham's duo with Mbappe could be quite aggressive on Real Madrid's front line. |

Of course that is the most convenient way at the moment but in the future I will readjust how to distribute the budget more evenly and larger on bitcoin investment, as I said I want to increase the strong fund first so that it is safer and stronger for a few months the rest can focus on bitcoin defensively by increasing the DCA.
I believe many of them do that such as 30% bitcoin investment 10% emergency fund the rest of the needs to cover a month, for now it should be more adjusted again and strategize a good budget over the long term for bitcoin investment.
Isn't it for the DCA strategy to walk all the way to not need to think about market sentiment? Because in my opinion this is only temporary while DCA is long-term which continues to run every week.
Even for now I don't need any chart analysis with DCA purchases when the money is ready then I buy no matter what the price is because DCA is buying at an dollar cost average.
Your explanation certainly makes sense because applying the DCA strategy of course you don't have to be skilled at reading charts because you make purchases at every stage when you start. DCA is the most admired strategy for those making long-term investments, either for the next 10 years or 20 years. But basically when there is a question from someone from your relative why you buy at a high price when you can wait to buy at a low price (well in this perception you can give an answer if I will calculate the average purchase entry when I reach the peak to exit at in the next 10 years) it will make them amazed by your answer. Well, at the level of adjusting the emergency fund, this is not very important for some people because if they get a weekly income they will adjust the percentage level they will use in Bitcoin investment, even so it will be in line with their concept without any obstacles that can hinder them. On the other hand, if your income does not determine where you pursue odd jobs (sometimes you work or not) of course the level of adjustment for emergency funds is quite necessary so that you don't miss a purchase step. Well, emergency funds are of course prioritized to cover gaps when you don't get income at that time, so you can use emergency funds at that time. Isn't it like that? |

I think we need the right information, the right knowledge, effort, positive energy, passion, luck, etc. Like in the OP's topic, "it ain't meant to be easy," but at least someone needs those above-listed qualities to surf through. Definitely, it will not be easy, but some times and in some cases, you can diversify a little and try something different, but instead, some people will just keep putting effort into something that can just be fruitless at the end of the day.
Truly, the degree and weigh of luck can not be underestimate but little did we know. Being hardworking doesn't guarantee success. You can be putting effort and energy but if luck has not yet find you, you'll labour without having result. However, I'm not saying that you shouldn't be hard working or struggle but when you are doing so, you should also pray for luck and grace to locate you. The story can not always be the same. Things might be easy and smoothly for some even without putting much effort while to some even after putting the necessary effort, it might be difficult for them. Giving hope is what kills the dream. If you are consistent and not giving hope, you'll actually achieve your goals some days but how many of us are patient enough to keep positive energy from beginning to end when we feel like we are not getting the desire result at first? Doing hard work may not necessarily be able to achieve what we want, but it is through hard work that our desires can be achieved and we must do it based on what we already know, don't do work that we don't fully understand, of course in this case we won't be able to achieve what we want. Doing work based on the knowledge we have consistently and asking for luck will certainly achieve the success we want. You are right that everyone goes through a different process in achieving their success and there are those who are able to get back up after they experience failure and correct their mistakes so as to achieve success and there are also those who are unable to get back up after they fail. If you often read the history of someone's journey to become a millionaire, of course a process is needed, not just the aspect of becoming a millionaire, in fact all fields will require a process to achieve success. Maybe one of them is the dream of having 1 BTC in the portfolio, then the level of process required may take a year or more in the process of accumulating Bitcoin at each stage. However, the duration of time is not a problem because if you can increase your aggressiveness in accumulating Bitcoin, of course you can reach the level of ownership of 1 Bitcoin, it will not take one year. Well, on the other hand, in terms of your efforts to increase your rank, of course it also requires a process and as we have seen, those who are able to reach legendary rank, of course they go through many stages to reach legendary rank. Many people may need a long time and it all depends on their level of will because if they are serious then their dreams will be achieved thanks to their hard work. The point is that nothing will be achieved if you are lazy to change your attitude to continue learning in order to improve the quality of posts that are easier to digest and can also be useful for other people. |

And why they did it late  I think it it quite common that either people do not have enough because they failed to plan and to take actions and maybe even they were too busy gambling rather than investing and believing that their gambling amounted to a kind of investment, and then it did not end up paying off. Sure sometimes they might be to blame, but sometimes they might have some misfortunes too... so there can be a lot of reasons that people might feel that they are "starting" or "starting over" at a very late age. Sometimes they are busy having fun and going on vacations and they do not really realize how the time will end up slipping away from them, and then one day they wake up and they realize that they have only saved $10k, even though they have a lifestyle that requires around $100k per year, and so they have to do some serious thinking about how they might need to make progress towards getting where they should have had been. This effort is quite attractive for some people in their 50s to invest in Bitcoin as a safe haven asset for their old age. However, as you have explained, of course it is very related to the big principle of seeking income from the spare money they have to invest in Bitcoin. Sometimes the lateness in getting started isn't that big of a deal because their confidence level is higher with mass adoption happening. Of course, for those in their 50s, they don't think about anything else other than their focus is only on investing. However, if they are just learning about Bitcoin when they are in their 50s, it would be a good idea for them to invest based on their desire to learn more about Bitcoin. Generally, currently it is millennials who dominate investment in Bitcoin, and in general, of those aged 50 and over, only a portion of them invest in Bitcoin due to their lack of knowledge about Bitcoin (perhaps too late). As mentioned, those aged over 50 will have a lower level of income if their work is not permanent (for those who are not state officials). So the level of their needs will probably be the main thing in investing in Bitcoin for the long term. Even a tendency towards distrust may be the basis if they start too late. |

I do agree that fans would be happy for that, and not like they worry about the league, they are going to end up getting better anyway and I think they are going to end up with a result that would be good for them. I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be UCL for them since they are failing to get that, even if they end up losing the league and the cup, but end up winning UCL instead, that would very much prefer that.
However, after seeing City last night, even though their opponent was weak, I could say that it would require a miracle for a team to beat City, even with many players missing, they were still playing with an amazing talent and they are looking a lot more unbeatable this season.
Their big target is of course the UCL trophy which they have been targeting for a long time. The victory in the match against Dortmund gave quite a good impression of PSG progress in the Champions League this season and fans seemed happy with this first win. PSG are in the tightest group this season so this first win will make them even more confident for the upcoming matches. I admit that PSG this season is better prepared, both in terms of player depth and also their coach, they are really a team that really counts this season. Luis Enrique must be able to bring PSG to appear consistent throughout the Group Phase matches. PSG next opponent in the Champions League is Newcastle United. Of course, this is not a weak opponent because Eddie Howe team was able to hold AC Milan to a draw at San Siro. Of course PSG must play more impressively like they did when they beat Dortmund. 3 points will mean a lot for PSG in that match, but the match will start in 2 weeks. Of course both teams still have plenty of time to prepare their strengths before the match starts. |

[edited out]
Yeah the ten year dca plan or longer is good even if you are in your 50s starting it at 52 and wrapping it up at retirement when 65 is still viable at this moment. Even if btc does only 20x from now till 2036 it will almost certainly out do cash 💷. I don't really disagree with anything that you are saying, yet still some people who start investing late in life don't really have anything in their investment portfolio and they are just getting started, albeit late. And why they did it late That's an interesting point to review, one big factor could be that they are new to Bitcoin this year, or they are full of regrets about the dark past because they had some BTC but didn't hold it in the long term. So that now they are aware and ready to make long-term investments when they are past their 50s. I thought it wouldn't be a problem but in old age it seems like they have little time to enjoy. lol However, investment certainly does not look at age, whether they are still students or have entered their 50s, of course they will be able to do it. But for those who are older, they definitely need someone to guide them, be it their children because if something happens, for example they die, of course their children will know that their parents invested in Bitcoin. |

You can do it when you are really ready to do it. Just like this, just put your level of confidence in Bitcoin first, because if you can't control your lust for the profits that come your way, then you are not ready to enter the long-term investment zone like JJG did. I see almost everyone doing DCA for their long term investments but they don't have a strong mentality to hold it in the long term because they exit when they are already making a profit.
I think you have to learn step by step first to prepare yourself mentally for long-term investment. DCA really supports you in accumulating BTC in each Quartel if you make purchases in each Quartel, but you have to have a level of confidence in the long term early. So with what you said it seems like you are still waiting for your salary from your office to buy BTC. of course that is a pretty good decision and I think do it based on the percentage that you have, divided into your financial interests for living needs and for investing in Bitcoin.
As nothing is actually ever simple in this world to do especially when it comes to field of financial stability same thing applies to actually successful holding your Bitcoin and it's another case if you are accumulating through DCA, why? Well because it's not an easy task and most people actually just give up at the long run of it because of so many reasons and here are some. ---lack of discipline ---wrong financial income or none at all ---No proper planning --- procrastination --- impatient Before anyone can properly practice DCA and still hold on to their investment for a long period these certain barriers are to be broken. Everyone who has decided to invest in the long term of course has planned well in advance. So in my previous review I said that they must be ready to throw away their thoughts/desires to take advantage quickly because if they can't do that, then the list you mentioned will not be in line with what I have mentioned. The list of items mentioned is a basic list that they have prepared to run their investments in the long term. Well, like the financial aspect (JJG has said that if you can't allocate $100 for investment every week then you can reduce it by adjusting the income you get). Another interesting list for me is the level of patience (patience is the main principle that they must have every time they invest, whether in Bitcoin or other investments, because achieving success is always accompanied by patience). So on other points it won't have a big impact, because if you are not disciplined, it won't be a big problem because we make purchases in stages and if you miss 1 stage level it won't be a big problem because you can continue at the next stage. |

I did most of my DCA into BTC between November 2013 and early 2017.. . .and I did a bit of DCA after 2017 too.
That's quite a long initial journey with DCA that you are doing.... Maybe I will start like that at the start of this year until the next few years, I'm not sure how long it will last but my own target is 2032. Is that realistic? Of course I will try my best. One thing that is so great about DCA is that you can figure out for yourself, and sure, if you end up getting a $500 to $1k bonus once or twice a year, then you are going to have options regarding how you choose to spend that $500 to $1k extra when it comes in, and you may well end up choosing to buy BTC with it right away rather than spreading out your BTC purchases.. It is not always an easy choice to figure out how to employ extra cash when it comes in.. especially if you feel that you don't frequently come across extra cash. but the more you go through with buying BTC regularly, at some point you might decide that you are going to divide that lump sum into three parts in order to allocate 1/3 towards each (Lump sum, DCA and buying on dips), and then there might be some other times in which you feel that you want to strategize your purchases to buy on dips, and you might divide the lump sum into 3, but instead keep it all in one category, which is to buy on dips.. so you might buy 1/3 right away, and then the 2/3 to buy after a $1.5k drop in price if it happens and the 3/3 part, you might assign to buying that amount upon a BTC price drop of 4,680.
Those are your choices, and it seems to me that the more BTC that you get, the less stressed that you are in regards to buying BTC right away with your extra cash, and you become more wiling to set your BTC buy prices and just wait for the BTC price to come to you, and hopefully you are not too greedy in the places where you set your purchase prices, because if you already have enough BTC, the you are not worried about the BTC price going up because you already have enough BTC.
Yes, now I understand the DCA method and know the benefits myself. Expenditures will now be even tighter after the DCA planning has started. Before doing this I always shopped for non-essential items so for now, unnecessary expenses will no longer be used and it's more important to be strict on DCA than anything else. In a normal year I always get a bonus from work several times but this time I haven't received it from the office. What is clear is that I already have this plan and will put it in BTC, but I also have a choice between buying it in a lump sum or in several part like you said, on the one hand I want to separate DCA and lump sum with different wallets and also with different records in the spreadsheet, it's clear in my opinion the results will be greater in DCA planning than lump sum because the bonus money cannot be determined how big it is but that in my mind is separate. Even now I have to be a little more adaptable, the need is increasing day by day, I have to save a little more so I can do more DCA well and strictly. You can do it when you are really ready to do it. Just like this, just put your level of confidence in Bitcoin first, because if you can't control your lust for the profits that come your way, then you are not ready to enter the long-term investment zone like JJG did. I see almost everyone doing DCA for their long term investments but they don't have a strong mentality to hold it in the long term because they exit when they are already making a profit. I think you have to learn step by step first to prepare yourself mentally for long-term investment. DCA really supports you in accumulating BTC in each Quartel if you make purchases in each Quartel, but you have to have a level of confidence in the long term early.

In understanding each science, each person has a different way, some take a long time and some can understand it quickly, this really depends on each person's personality. I prefer those who learn Bitcoin by not investing directly because this will not be good for them because they don't understand this well, but if someone guides them well they can try it with a little capital so they can understand every process they carry out.
Of course, all new things will require a process for those who are really just learning about Bitcoin. But for now I am sure that those who are new to Bitcoin will have a faster level of knowledge for them to understand what Bitcoin is because they can learn on every social media about Bitcoin either on YouTube or other social media. Because there is a lot of education about Bitcoin that can improve their knowledge. So, if they are still beginners and join the Bitcointalk Forum, it will be easier for them to learn Bitcoin because in this forum they can get everything they are looking for, be it how to invest well or everything. But they can only achieve this if they really want to learn about Bitcoin. Now, regarding investment, they can do it in small amounts for the investment they make. In fact, it will not link them to a better level of knowledge if they only focus on investing without being supported by adequate knowledge about Bitcoin. But slowly they will definitely dig up their own information about Bitcoin and I'm sure those who know about Bitcoin definitely hear about it from their closest relatives. |

Difficulty and ease always go hand in hand in all things, so that the assessment of the ease and difficulty of a job is only known when we have done it in our own way. Because sometimes the method taken by other people can also be easier than the method we do in a job that is no different, so difficulties are not only formed from our thoughts. But it is also formed from the way we take things in order to get maximum results without shifting from the basic goals that we have previously thought about for ourselves.
However, some people actually don't want to try doing something that they consider difficult, but maybe they don't know where to start, so up to now there are still many people who prefer to look for other, easier paths because maybe they know where to start. Even though difficulties are only visible when someone has not tried it, but when they have tried it and let's say they still haven't succeeded, someone will definitely look for solutions to solve the problems they face in order to overcome the obstacles that are in front of them.
I understand what you have explained, but a little addition from me is that everyone has different thoughts, and that is why some of them were able to achieve success earlier compared to us, the strong reason is because they stuck to their guns and had determination. To continue trying to follow up on every choice they implement. For example, if you joined the Crypto World in 2016 and someone else joined in 2017 but there is a big difference in the level of success where someone who joined in 2017 is more successful than you. So at this stage you can evaluate why he can be successful and why we can't. Maybe if you have a history of buying BTC, of course you can buy at a lower price because you joined in 2016. But someone who joined in 2017 bought BTC at a higher price than the purchase you made, but for comparison now they are more successful than you. This is due to factors, because they follow up on the development of Bitcoin from year to year so they believe Bitcoin will achieve greater profits if it is held for a long time. While those of you who bought at that time were only satisfied with a small profit because you sold your BTC holdings more quickly. (that's perhaps the level of evaluation that must be adjusted for your future) namely buy and hold. Well, that's a little conclusion that I can explain and I think I agree with Op because all success doesn't happen overnight and there are a lot of processes that have to be gone through. So do it with determination and full confidence in what you want to achieve in the future. |

The match has finished and Lazio lost by a fairly large score (2 goals difference), this isn't in accordance with the predictions you said. In fact, Juventus is certain to win, regardless of their early season performance, this match is a home match for them, there's no way they will disappoint their supporters. And what now? it's been proven, right? Currently Juventus continues their positive trend in the Serie A standings with 3 wins and 1 draw, they are in 2nd place below Internazionale who are currently ahead of AC Milan with a score of 1 - 0. Many thought because Lazio was able to defeat Napoli in their previous game they will still have the chance of beating Juventus. The result of Juventus dmvs Lazio has prove that Lazio was just only lucky to win Napoli. It so good to see Juventus to come out with an impressive result . I think Juventus will perform better this season than previous season. Juventus needs to be among the top teams leading the league this season. AC Milan once again had to acknowledge the toughness of city rivals Inter Milan, Pioli squad was mercilessly slaughtered like a mediocre club by Inter. The only thing that is good for Milan is breaking into Inter's goal which has not conceded before. Inzaghi squad is quite worthy of winning the Scudetto with the performance shown today. A source of confidence for their next steps in the UCL group phase matches, Real Sociedad will be the first opponent they must defeat if they want to win group D. Another prestigious match between Juventus and Lazio was also very interesting, the course of the match determined that the Bianconeri were still strong enough to be beaten by Maurizio Sarri. Dusan Vlahovic and Chiesa were the keys to victory for Juventus, Lazio victory over Napoli last week cannot be used as a benchmark when they visit Turin. |

When the coach is angry and ego-attached it seems to be the case with Ten Hag. Sancho fell victim to Ten Hag's assertiveness. After the action of responding to Ten Hag's argument and refusing to apologise, it seems Sancho will not be used by Ten Hag and exiled from the First Team. Though there is a schedule on in the EPL and UCL. In addition, the problem of injuries and criminal problems of players is still ongoing. Ten Hag looks like he will use the rest of the players and maybe the result is not optimal.
The result surprised everyone, Ten Hag efforts to bring The Red Devils to a positive path have not borne fruit. The United squad looked like a group of players who were sluggish with Ten Hag's tactical scheme, internal problems ultimately had an impact on the team performance on the pitch. Brighton should be beaten easily when playing in front of their own fans, Old Trafford is no longer as feared and authoritative as it used to be. The budget spent in the transfer market did not have an impact on improving the team performance, Hojlund also cannot be a hope on the front lines. The series of defeats was greater than the wins, a fact that rarely happened to The Red Devils at the start of the season. Ten Hag is really under a lot of pressure, it is very possible that if United fail to qualify in the UCL group stage his tenure at Old Trafford will end prematurely. Brighton hard work deserves appreciation, appearing impressively like a top EPL club. |

This season both teams started quite well and in terms of quality there is no significant difference between the two, this will be a match that is quite difficult to predict.
No one doubts that this match will be quite fierce, despite the injuries to several of their main players, but I am quite sure that these two teams have quite the same backing.
I have watched the performance of Inter Milan and AC Milan this season and I think both have almost the same strength and in the Milan derby this weekend maybe a draw is fair enough for both.
Both started the season well. but in my opinion, Inter has a better defense than Milan. and it will be a challenge for Milan to be able to dismantle Inter's defense to create gaps to create opportunities. both of them have sharp front lines. It is possible that in the next match, there will be a fight in the middle of the field where both of them will make a strategy to find a gap in one of the players who might lose concentration. A draw might be the best chance, but I'm willing to bet Inter will win by a slim goal difference. Real rivalry always displays tension, the ambition carried by both clubs is interesting to digest. Inter defense line, which has not conceded a goal, will face a test when facing Milan, Lautaro Martinez is also no less sharp on Inter front line and has already scored 5 goals. AC Milan has the ambition to break the series of bad results when they meet Inter, with the depth of the current squad being the right moment to make it happen. Talking about opportunities, Inter has a better percentage than Milan, a draw is difficult because both want the difference in points at the top of the standings. The tactical battle between Stefano Pioli and Filippo Inzaghi to be the best this season is really worth waiting for, this match will also be a parameter for the success of both sides as a result of movements in the transfer market. The overall results of this week's matches will change the Serie A standings again. |

I see Erik Ten Hag starting to panic because he has been given quite a lot of money to spend on several players to strengthen his squad. He was very burdened by his team's performance which did not meet the expectations of Red Devils fans. Indeed, the season is still long and he still has enough time to do something to improve his team. But I can no longer guarantee his position as manager if at the end of the season Manchester United again have zero titles, perhaps he will suffer the consequences.
The demands from Club officials are definitely a championship trophy, which is reasonable because it is in line with the expenses incurred. Even though it is not completely stable, Ten Hag can still get a guarantee to return The Red Devils performance to its true track. The results of new recruits certainly require adaptation time, everything must be done gradually. However, if he continues to lose in the next match, Ten Hag career will end quickly at Old Trafford. There's no need to wait until the end of the season if The Red Devils don't appear consistent, because Ten Hag has already spent a lot of his budget in the transfer market. On the other hand, many are optimistic and believe that if Ten Hag stays for a long time, and maximizes the potential of his recruits, he will definitely be able to achieve the EPL Trophy. This is indeed the case, because Man City will not be champions forever in the EPL, there will definitely be ups and downs in performance and transition periods. |

Given that both Inter and Milan have been in outstanding form this year, the Derby di Milano promises to be an exciting contest. This long running rivalry frequently defies predictions, despite the fact that Inter seems to be performing significantly better and bookmakers favour them. The score could indeed be hotly contested because to the reckless style of play between these two titans, which frequently produces unforeseen results. This season both teams are in strong situations, with AC Milan showing promise in a number of competitions as a result of shrewd player acquisitions. In contrast Inter lack of new signings could provide problems, especially if important players like Lukaku experience problems. Anything might happen during this derby, which promises to be a thrilling spectacle. Why are you still linking Lukaku with Inter? because in reality, Lukaku is already at AS Roma and it's clear that Lukaku won't be playing at Inter this season. But apart from that, that at this moment Inter and Milan both have the same points in the standings and great again, Milan and Inter are currently two teams that consistently win compared to other teams in Serie A. With a good record like this, then of course this derby match will be interesting and very entertaining, because Inter and Milan are in their best form the moment. Considering also that Inter have not conceded at all so far in every match they have played, then is it possible that the clean sheets achieved by Inter at this moment will be stopped by Milan. Surely, it will be very interesting to look forward to. Inter Milan vs AC Milan is a classic derby that is most anticipated by Serie A fans, this derby is a little lame when AC Milan is not strengthened by two key players. Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud are certain not to be able to appear, Milan hopes lie in their new recruits Loftus Cheek and Pulisic. Inter Milan, which has a strong defensive line, will be very difficult to penetrate without Giroud presence. Inter will be more dominant in terms of squad depth in the derby. Meanwhile in the opening match of week 4 there is Juventus vs Lazio, of course this is also very interesting. Lazio has capital of confidence, after successfully beating Napoli at home. Even though Juve are superior, Lazio will take advantage of the moment when Juve is experiencing a crisis in its core players due to injuries. It is difficult to predict the course of this match, but a draw seems more reasonable. |

Xavi took a good initiative when the transfer market started to close and the loan process for the two players he currently has cannot be separated from his contribution. The presence of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo will add depth to Barcelona's squad for the better, thus making the team's strength even more perfect to continue the match in the future. Both of them have experience on the Champions League stage, so there is great hope that Barcelona this season can compete with other teams, especially in the Champions League.
Alejandro Balde, Lamine Yamal and several other young players are extraordinary resources that Barcelona has and they will be superstars in the future because they are still young and they still have a long way to go to become world class players and what they need now is to play, to increase their experience and bring them to a higher mental level and at the same time be able to face any pressure when playing.
The addition of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo is of course in line with the club ambitions, where Barcelona targets to go far and have a lot to say in the Champions League. It can be said that both Felix and Canselo will need a long period of adaptation, because both are currently undergoing their second loan period. As a back-up, both of them can be relied on by Xavi, because their experience and mentality are quite good in two competitions, both in La Liga and the Champions League. Lamine Yamal has full trust from Xavi, seeing his development he looks very confident. Xavi decision to give him playing minutes paid off, Yamal managed to be included in the list of players for the Spanish national team taking part in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. In the match against Georgia, Yamal scored a goal which made him the youngest goalscorer in the competition. |

Actually, there is no harm in trying to join a Saudi Arabian club because the Arab league is currently experiencing an increase in popularity so that in the long term this Arab league will become a big league.[/left]
It depends on the player's perspective sometimes they think that if they choose to move to the Saudi League then their career will be over, Oscar is one of the players who experienced this, when he decided to move to the Chinese League in 2017 then no European clubs were interested in him, even though we knew in 2017 that Oscar's career was very impressive and one of the most expensive young players unfortunately his career was trapped in the Chinese league, maybe this is what Lukaku and other players think. There are few visible differences between the SPL and the Chinese Super League, the SPL started with quite a genius move. Landing mega star Cristiano Ronaldo is the first step to open the gates for players in Europe, of course this step is in line with adequate budget support. Even though there is only one Ronaldo, it is enough to convince European players to be tempted to continue their professional careers at the end of their careers. Something that the Chinese Super League did not do in building their League, but that does not mean they failed. There are also quite a lot of former European players playing in the Chinese Super League, Oscar is one of those who is still playing today. Drogba, Macherano, Anelka and several other star players have played there, but in fact the SPL has been more successful in building its image in a short time by bringing in former European players. |

Arsenal are concentrated on extending the contracts of their most important players currently. After the transfer window has been closed they are focused on securing the future of their players now. They are doing the right thing by acting already now. Because these players are attracting a lot of attention to themselves by their effort.
They have extended with some players like Martinelli already now it is Odegaard's turn. But I wonder whether he has the same thought with his team. His market value has reached 90 million euros after his brilliant effort here. His current contract ends in 2025. Arsenal had better give what he wants to keep a great talent like him for a long time.
Odegaard improved performance has helped Arsenal since his arrival, even though the competition in his first season was admittedly very difficult at the Emirates. The Gunners efforts to keep him for a long time are very appropriate, because several other top clubs want to take him out of Arteta squad. PSG is rumored to be very interested in the Norwegian attacking midfielder, Arsenal efforts to secure Odegaard with a long-term contract are very wise. |

That’s most likely but a team with less European players may suprise us also. The league will be so competitive this time around but it doesn’t mean that a team with more spending will be the winner of the competition because even in Europe we have witnessed teams spend so much and still end up not performing to expectations. Take Chelsea as an example, they spend a lot last season and ended 12th on the table and they even spend more this season and so far they are still struggling this season. Likewise PSG, they had a front 3 of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe with some other great players and still couldn’t win the champions league as we all expected so that’s just football. Even after spending so much and buying great players if the players don’t blend well and understand each other well they won’t be able to perform well so you can’t say a team that spends 100 of millions this summer will win the league, there is every possibility of other teams winning it as well. Now I agree with you on this, bringing in a lot of European players doesn't guarantee that they will be successful, but of course the impact of the arrival of European players will make the league more competitive. I like it when you make comparisons like with Chelsea who spend a lot of money, but in terms of the game it's like there's no change. Also Paris Saint Germain who recruited a lot of star players, but they can't talk more when they compete with stronger clubs in Europe. Most of the teams in the Saudi league are buying players from Europe at huge prices to compete with the rest of the league. You bring here for example the English Premier League or Ligue 1 where Chelsea and PSG are mentioned. Chelsea is not having good success despite spending huge amount of money because other teams in English Premier League are very strong and spending money alone does not make a team good, besides spending money we have to look at how the team spent money. It is Chelsea's failure to buy good players with huge sums of money. On the other hand psg spent a lot of money and they won the Ligue 1 title every season, but their dream was to win Europe but their investment failed because they did not strengthen the midfield of the team. If we come to the words of the Saudi League, we will see that the top clubs of the Saudi League have bought the best players from Europe. Since there is competition in the Saudi league, I believe this league will gain a lot of popularity very quickly. The large budget expenditure by Saudi clubs is an effort to boost the quality of the league to make it more competitive, which will ultimately make the Saudi Pro League the best league in the Asian region. To become the mecca of world football like the European leagues, it requires at least four to five countries making the same efforts. At the moment it clearly doesn't make sense to compare the expenditure of EPL and Ligue 1 clubs with SPL clubs, because in substance the SPL has just started the first stage, namely making the League Competitive. Media branding thanks to the arrival of world star players makes the SPL image more popular, thus causing sponsors to come and ultimately become the club income. If PIF funds go to all clubs in the SPL, you can be sure that Saudi efforts to build the League will not be in vain and will be realized in a short time. |

My favourite side for the Milano derby is going to be Inter. I believe they are a little ahead of Milan at the moment. I know they have both started well but Inter have been more consistent than Milan in the recent times. More successful at the same time as they reached the Champions League finale too.
Inter still maintain the same dedication and their defending is even better now. On one hand Lautaro Martinez is also in great shape as he regularly scores goals. I think the goal difference won't be more than one though considering Milan's form too. But I think Inter will win by 2-1 here.
Inter Milan has the upper hand based on statistics and head to head, and the defense has been pretty good so far. Fillippo Izaghi has a squad depth that is evenly distributed on every line, something that AC Milan does not have. Cristian Pulisic and Loftus Cheek can be a differentiator in the AC Milan camp, the addition of the two of them had quite an impact on the performance of Stefano Pioli squad. The prediction of this match will end in a draw even though Inter is superior, AC Milan has confidence after beating AS Roma in the previous game. |
