The match has entered the final minutes but Girona and Real Betis are still tied at 2-2. Is it possible that this time Girona will lose full points again or can they turn things around at home? The reason is that Real Betis is quite capable of keeping up with them and even in away games it doesn't make Real Betis' courage shrink. Previously, Girona lost against Getafe and it would be a shame if they failed to win again this week.

Girona doesn't have much time and they have to attack all out to get an additional 3 points and at the same time keep Barcelona close in the top competition. If Girona draws or loses, the difference will be quite large and make Barcelona comfortable sitting in second place in the standings. Meanwhile, for Real Betis, they have to win if they want to compete with Real Sociedad to determine a place in European competition at the end of the season.
Girona ultimately managed to beat Betis with a score of 3-2, the rotation of players carried out by Michel at the end of the second half proved to be fruitful, Cristhian Stuani, who came on in the 82nd minute, managed to score a goal in minutes 90+2. The additional 3 points obtained by Girona again confirms their position in the third standings, where Michel fleet had time lost balance and had difficulty winning in their last few matches.

Girona efforts to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings and appear in the Champions League next season will not be easy, because there are still several other important matches ahead that they must win. Apart from that, Girona actually still has a chance to overtake Barcelona and finish in runnerup position, Michel must be able to maintain his team level of play so that it remains consistent.

Meanwhile, Betis is currently still stuck in 7th place in the standings, their ambition to finish in the Europa League zone will be increasingly difficult because the points gap with Sociedad is getting wider. Betis current performance is also very bad, they have experienced 4 consecutive defeats, and have only been able to win 1 match in their last 5 matches. Next week Betis will face Celta Vigo, that is their best chance to secure full points.

I have already left out betting on Manchester United to win this season. And now it seems that my decision was completely correct. Manchester United's performance is very disappointing.

Manchester United team won against Everton and Liverpool in the last two matches. Manchester United defeated Liverpool in the FA Cup match. Perhaps this is why many gamblers bet on Manchester United's win against Brentford. And they made a big mistake. Manchester United once again performed poorly in the away match. I would have been happy if Brentford had won the match. Because Brentford's performance was very good in this match.

Brentford players made a total of 31 shots in this match. A lot of attacking Brentford players. On the other hand, the players of Manchester United were able to make only 11 shots in total.


That's right and the very right decision not to bet on United, because we can't trust Ten Hag fleet completely this season, the performance was quite good when facing Liverpool, and again erratic when facing Brentford. United efforts to finish in the Champions League zone are increasingly difficult, and in fact I don't think United will be able to achieve it.

Meanwhile, I saw Brentford playing very well and many opportunities failed to be converted into goals, United appeared overwhelmed and had difficulty defending. The match ended quite dramatically for both teams, a goal scored in the final minute meant that United had to be willing to share the points. Ten Hag is certainly disappointed because his fleet failed to steal full points, it looks like his luck is quite bad this season.

Meanwhile, Mount managed to score his first goal for United since being brought in, but he did not perform optimally due to injury. However, the main concern is that United have never appeared consistent, their performance has never been erratic. So avoiding betting on their matches is better because it is quite risky.

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?
It excites me when it is my favorite player and team that will play. Other than that, I just enjoy any game that I gamble because that's how it goes when I want to spend my money on gambling. You don't have to think that much when your money at stake when it's not a lot although you still worked hard for it but just as how it goes, you only have to enjoy everything no matter what the results are.
This applies generally to all gamblers, meaning that when someone places a bet at the time, feelings of pleasure will appear instantly, and that is the essence of gambling itself. The passion one gets from gambling makes a person repeat the habit tomorrow, and this cycle is what we call addiction.

It must be admitted that earning money is very difficult, and sometimes spending it is very easy, but some people won't mind it too much if the goal is to have fun. As long as the important thing is not to go too far, this means you still have to control yourself well so you don't experience big losses.

For some people, gambling becomes a routine activity to relieve stress due to work pressure, so there will always be an urge to continue doing it tomorrow, regardless of whether we are lucky or not. However, it is also important to protect your time, so that you don't spend too much time gambling, which you fear could disrupt your productive time at work.

Every manager has difference strategies, under Daniele De Rossi make difference game play with AS Roma more active for offensive than Jose Mourinho era prefer for full defensive.
Indeed, we know that the strategy adopted by Mourinho is more defensive, especially if the opponent they are facing is much stronger, they will defend completely and only rely on counter attacks. Meanwhile, in the De Rossi era, AS Roma were more daring in attacking and the results were quite satisfying because there were good changes that they could show.
With a more open strategy like that, it is possible that they will have a greater chance of winning the match, and De Rossi dared to do that. What De Rossi has shown with AS Roma currently looks good and hopefully they can maintain it, because it is not easy to change the style of play, it requires a process.
I agree with what you said, De Rossi has brought renewal to Roma overall style of play today, which is very different from when Mourinho was head coach. De Rossi managed to find a strategy that suited the depth of the squad he had, so that he could bring out the best potential from each of his players. He understands the club well thanks to his experience serving there.

Mourinho tactics were too defensive, not balanced with a solid defensive line, therefore they failed to become a strong team. Mourinho hopes to implement a defensive strategy at Roma, where he has had success when coaching Inter and Chelsea. There Mourinho had a number of the best defenders in his lineup, while in Rome everything was different, which is why Mourinho seemed to fail.

Meanwhile, De Rossi saw this weakness and made strategic changes, attacking more aggressively and dominating possession of the ball. This has proven to make it easier for Roma to win matches, and all of its players can more freely unleash their full potential. De Rossi managed to see Roma weaknesses, then turned them into strengths so that Roma managed to appear consistent.

To be fair, Arsenal have been one of the most consistent English Premier League teams in the past two seasons especially in their domestic league and I think it is because of the how good the club manager Mikel Arteta have been with his managerial approaches and tactics. They've gone from the Arsenal team that was always considered as an average team after Arsene Wenger left the club to become one of the most formidable English teams of the last two seasons and that's why a lot of people are tipping them to get past Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition.
Bayern Munich without doubt is a better club than the Gunners in terms of quality players as well as players that are very experienced in the Champions League but Arsenal I think still have a chance to eliminate the German champions if they can play at their best in the two-legged games
It looks like Arsenal will gain good momentum to advance to the semifinals of the Champions League this season, where Bayern have just suffered another humiliating defeat at the Allian Arena. Dortmund slaughtered Bayern with a score of 2-0, of course Bayern can show a different performance when they visit the Emirates, but bettors doubts about them have increased because the latest defeat suffered by Tuchel fleet.

We just have to wait and see how Arsenal finishes their match against City at the Etihad, where this match can more or less give an idea of the strength they currently have. Indeed, Bayern reputation in the Champions League is much better, but with their current performance, Arsenal has the opportunity to eliminate them in the quarter finals.

Arsenal consistency in the Premier League this season is the main benchmark, they come from a more competitive league, different from Bayern who play in the Bundesliga, where Bayern has lost their chance to win a trophy while Arsenal is at the top of the points table. But of course that is only an assumption, where the chances of the two teams can change again depending on the completeness of the squad they have.

Edith: it's full time now Lazio is able to score one goal at 90+3 minutes with the late goal scored by Marusic, though the goal came very late for the home team but they really deserved the win because they were the team with better performance, they made more goal attempts, dominated in possession even in corners. Their fans will be so delighted to see them get a late winner after finding it very difficult to score from the beginning of the match.
That late goal from Lazio would still clinch the 3 points and Juventus failed to hold on to the draw despite a few more minutes towards the end of this match was unlucky Juventus also did not have an interesting game except for the hosts who dominated it.

Juventus - for 4 matches only won two points, that's really a bad performance isn't it? It shouldn't be like this what I saw Juventus before they might be increasingly overtaken by Bologna or Roma if they continue to lose, it could even be that Juventus will not enter the Champion League ticket if they continue to look bad.
Juventus seems to be really going backwards at the moment, they suffered another painful defeat against Lazio, Allegri team failed to maintain their concentration towards the end of the match. Overall Lazio managed to dictate the game, they dominated ball possession, and they also had better attack statistics. Allegri was really frustrated, his efforts to create a turning point in performance failed again.

In Juventus next match, Allegri fleet will face Lazio again in the Coppa Italia semifinals, if they are lucky they can get revenge there. Meanwhile, Juventus efforts to overtake Milan again and finish in runnerup position are increasingly difficult, especially if Milan can secure full points over Fiorentina, whose match is currently underway at the moment.

To secure tickets to the Champions League, Juventus seems to be able to do it. However, they still have to be alert to the pressure put on by Bologna and Roma in the remaining matches ahead, the way to do this is none other than by consistently securing full points again. On the other hand, it seems that Allegri is indeed suitable to be replaced next season, Juventus needs renewal if they want to compete for the Scudetto and go further in the Champions League next season.

Bayern Munich 0:2 Dortmund.

With Bayern Munich dropping points again today it is very impossible for them to catch up with Bayer Leverkusen again since they only have few matches remaining and they are 13 points behind Leverkusen who is not ready to drop points with their recent records of coming back to win matches even when it seems impossible, can we come to conclusion now that Bayern Munich has lost out of the title race, what's your take on this?

Lol, do you still think Bayern Munich still have a chance for the Bundesliga trophy this season?
To be honest, even if for example Bayern Munich win this match, I still believe that Bayern Munich has completely lost the chance for the Bundesliga trophy this season. Obviously, when Bayern Munich lost big by Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 3-0 at that time, of course that defeat was really proof that Bayern Munich lost the competition for the season title with Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, I am surprised that there are still those who think Bayern Munich has a chance to overtake Bayer Leverkusen because after all, Bayer Leverkusen is really very impressive this season. Therefore, it is very feasible for Bayer Leverkusen to get a trophy this season and maybe a treble winner, who knows.
It's true, the competition for the Bundesliga trophy has finished, the 13 point difference in the standings is impossible to overcome because Leverkusen is still very consistent in being unbeaten. I was quite surprised by Bayern defeat, I thought they could beat Dortmund, because on paper Tuchel fleet was favored to secure 3 points because they played host. However, luck was on Dortmund side, and Bayern have now collected 5 defeats.

Bayern defeat to Leverkusen was a sign that the defending champions were indeed experiencing a bad season, where their dominance over the last decade was broken by Leverkusen. Besides that, Dortmund's victory was perfect revenge, where in the first half of the season they were humiliated in front of their own supporters, and most recently they responded elegantly.

There is no doubt that Leverkusen is worthy enough to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. Xabi squad has shown impressive quality and mentality throughout the season, and they are just a few match away from achieving their goal. On the other hand, Leverkusen can lock up the trophy early before the season ends, and they deserve high appreciation from all football fans with the record they have set this season.

It seems Pochettino has run out of ideas to think of suitable tactics to rebuild the Chelsea squad. Chelsea, which has quite talented young players, apparently still does not have a strong mentality to navigate the tight competition of the EPL. Yes, they should have been able to maximize the match against Burnley to win three points, the red card given to Lorenz Assignon and the expulsion of their coach Company were the right reasons for Galagher and his colleagues to be able to dominate, but Burnley were able to equalize. So because of the draw, it was difficult for Chelsea to finish in the European zone.
Pochettino deserves criticism for Chelsea performance this season, he is fully responsible for the series of bad results obtained by the Blues. I think Pochettino doesn't have many ideas to make Chelsea develop for the better, the depth of the squad he has built also doesn't work as optimally as we expected. The peak of his carelessness was releasing most of the experienced players and recruiting young players with little experience.

We have often commented on Chelsea performance this season, and we can see that they have become a mediocre club in the past two seasons, their ranking in the standings is proof that the Blues are not going anywhere. Never mind finishing in the European zone, they are having a hard time getting into the top ten of the standings. Pochettino deserves to be replaced, and Chelsea management must try to bring in a more qualified manager next season.

The draw against Burnley was quite disappointing, this match should have been won easily, because we know the difference in quality between the two teams is quite large. Burnley were lucky to force Chelsea to share the points, although that didn't keep them out of the degradation zone. Pochettino is now under great pressure, I think the Blues will finish in the same ranking as last season.

I think the main reason Xavi resigned is because of the pressure that he is facing as Barcelona boss, especially from the Spanish media and journalists, Xavi has had problems with the press since he became manager and i believe he could not take it anymore. Barca's financial problems also contributed to the Spaniard leaving, but i don't believe that is the main reason he is leaving the club. Barcelona must look for a new manager now, with their limited funds. There is no speculation for now on who will take over from Xavi, but the person is going to have a huge job to do.
This might still be a strategy to get him resigned, However, It is a good thing that he resigned the job than to get sacked by the Barcelona management board ,However, in my opinion Xavi stay at Barcelona hasn't yielded much of result so far, that is to try to bring back Barcelona to its usual glory, therefore it is right time they give another manager chance to try to fix things up with the Barcelona team.
Barcelona management will not fire Xavi, because they have to bear compensation if they do, we know that Barcelona is experiencing a serious financial crisis. Xavi decision to resign was indeed very correct, of course there were many reasons that he did not reveal to the media, and the information we got may only be a small part of what actually happened inside Barcelona.

What is clear is that Barcelona management will have difficulty finding a new successor, especially if they are looking for a quality and big-name coach. Apart from that, competition to find a new coach will also be very tight next season, considering that several other big European clubs are also looking for new coaches. If clubs from the SPL join in the competition, it will be increasingly difficult for Barcelona to compete.

Meanwhile, we'll see how far Xavi can take Barcelona to achieve success this season, where their opportunities in the Champions League are more open than in La Liga. If Barcelona can win a trophy, then it can help them gradually get out of the financial crisis. I predict that Xavi will not change his attitude, meaning he will still resign next season.
250  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Rata-Rata Gaji di Indonesia 2015 - 2023 per Sektor on: March 30, 2024, 07:08:25 PM
informasi dan komunikasi masih menjadi bidang yang mempunyai gaji rata-rata yang cukup tinggi, itu membuktikan bahwa bagaimana sektor informasi dan komunikasi itu lebih potensial dibandingkan dengan sektor lainnya. namun yang menjadi perhatian saya adalah bagaimana sektor pendidikan, pertanian, kehutanan, dan perikanan, itu cukup rendah dibandingkan dengan sektor lainnya. padahal seharusnya ini merupakan sektor yang cukup penting, khususnya bidang pendidikan, yang dimana seharusnya guru-guru mendapatkan kesejahteraan oleh pemerintah, sehingga itu bisa meningkatkan mutu pendidikan indonesia menjadi lebih baik lagi kedepannya.
Sebenarnya untuk Gaji guru sendiri untuk saat ini sudah terbilang lumayan apabila di bandingkan dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya, yang di tampikan diatas sepertinya untuk gaji pokonya saja, belum termasuk tunjangan, Sertifikasi dan lain sebagainya. Di daerah saya jika di jumlahkan total pendapatan gaji guru saat ini sepertinya berada di kisaran 8 jutaan perbulan, itu khusus yang PNS. Kalau yang Non PNS atau Tenaga Kontrak lainnya akan menyesuaikan dengan anggaran Daerah (bisa jadi mengikuti UMR).

Memang pada satu sisi, gaji untuk bidang pendidikan sebenarnya masih belum bisa dianggap dapat mensejahterakan para pendidik, hanya bisa mencukupi kebutuhan saja, dan hanya cukup untuk biaya pendidikan atau biaya kuliah anak-anak mereka. Makanya, banyak dari PNS atau Non PNS yang bekerja tidak maksimal, mereka rata-rata akan mencari pekerjaan sampingan untuk menunjang kebutuhan mereka, yang acap kali mengabaikan kewajiban mereka sebagai pendidik.

Tentu ini merupakan tanggungjawab penuh Pemerintah, bagaimana mencari solusi terbaik untuk bisa memberikan jaminan kesejahteraan bagi tenaga pendidik. Sehingga, mereka bisa fokus bekerja memenuhi kewajibannya, tanpa memikirkan sumber pendapatan lainnya untuk menunjang kebutuhan mereka. Jika hal itu dapat tercapai, maka otomatis kualitas pendidikan kita juga akan jadi lebih baik lagi kedepannya.
251  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: BBM turun masyarakat sejahtera ? on: March 30, 2024, 06:47:02 PM
Setuju saya,giliran naik nya rame ya pada ikut naik memang itu faktanya.
Giliran sudah turun gak ada tuh yang bilang harga bbm turun terutama tukang angkot, diam-diam bae.
Saya melihat hal itu sebagai akumulasi dari beberapa faktor dalam satu kesatuan roda ekonomi sehingga disaat harga naik maka seluruh kebutuhan kita akan naik, tetapi saat harga turun beberapa kebutuhan malah tidak turun. Maksudnya saat BBM naik maka biaya logistik akan meningkat dan itu akan menyebabkan semua barang ikutan naik. Ketika BBM turun harga logistik mungkin akan turun tetapi masalahnya ada beberapa sektor yang belum tentu mau menurunkan harga barangnya. Contohnya warung kopi dan mie di daerah saya yang harga kopinya naik dari 5rb menjadi 6rb dan Mie goreng dari 8rb menjadi 10rb. Alasannya karena gula dan modalnya mahal. Tapi saat harga gulanya turun harga Kopi masih tetap dijual di 6ribuan. Dan karena sudah terbiasa dengan harga segitu Orang-orang juga tidak protes.

Menurut pendapat pribadi saya ini bisa juga merujuk kepada faktor lain yakni indeks kesejahteraan masyarakat kita yang masih kurang sehingga memanfaatkan momen ini untuk mendapatkan sedikit keuntungan. Jadi ada banyak faktor yang sangat kompleks disini sehingga saat BBM naik maka akan berdampak jangka panjang bahkan permanen bagi roda perekonomian kita.
Saya pikir itu di sebabkan karena lemahnya kontrol Pemerintah terhadap harga barang di pasaran, terutama harga kebutuhan pokok harian yang sering sekali naik mengikuti harga BBM. Tidak dapat di pungkiri bahwa BBM merupakan indikator utama dalam pergerakan harga sebuah mata barang, Pemerintah sebenarnya harus berpikir lebih bijaksana sebelum memutuskan menaikkan harganya, parahnya harga BBM kadang berubah sampai 3 atau 4 kali dalam setahun.

Pelaku bisnis kecil tentu akan memanfaatkan peluang yang ada, dimana mereka akan memanfaatkan kenaikan harga BBM sebagai alasan untuk menaikkan harga barang dagangan mereka. Sebenarnya tidak terbatas untuk barang saja, harga jasapun akan mengikutinya secara otomatis. Masyarakat menjadi bertambah sulit untuk memenuhi kebutuhan harian mereka, sebab di beberapa pekerjaan kasar upah mereka tidak bertambah.

Disisi lain, mungkin saat ini yang paling beruntung adalah para PNS, sebab mereka sudah mendapatkan kenaikan gaji dan tunjuangan. Sebelumnya mereka juga merasakan kesusahan akibat naiknya BBM, dimana dengan gaji yang sudah terukur, mereka harus bisa menyesuaikan pendapatannya tersebut untuk memenuhi kebutuhan bulanannya.

akhirnya memang benar seperti yang anda katakan,hasil hitungan cepat memang tidak jauh beda dengan keputusan KPU di akhir perhitungan suara yang saat ini di menangkan oleh Prabowo gibran,dan kita harapkan untuk kedepannya ada perubahan besar bagi Indonesia dan beberapa visi dan misi yang telah mereka sampaikan bisa di laksanakan dengan baik,walaupun saat ini ada gugatan namun semua tidak ada artinya karena mereka memang sudah terpilih.
Kalau saya lihat pemerintahan kali ini agak lain dari yang sebelumnya, partai-partai koalisi kayaknya lebih maruk untuk mendapatkan posisi strategis di pemerintahan. Sekarang ini banyak beredar brosur-brosur menteri yang akan ditempatkan di pemerintahan, kebanyakan dari mereka orang-orang partai yang mempunyai suara besar di pemilu kali ini. Kalau kita lihat dan mengacu pada sebelumnya, hal ini sangat tidak bagus, karena mereka-mereka ini akan lebih mementingkan kepentingan partai mereka dari pada kepentingan rakyat. Belum lagi jika di DPR nanti mereka juga yang menguasi legislatif kayak ketua DPR, MPR dan Ketua fraksi, pasti kinerja DPR akan menjadi stempel pemerintahan tanpa ada fungsi pengawasan yang baik.

Sepertinya Partai Koalisi pendukung calon 01 juga akan ikut bergabung dalam Pemerentahan, apalagi setelah Prabowo mengunjungi ketua umum Partai Nasdem setelah keputusan KPU kemarin. Dapat dikatakan, cepat atau lambat Partai-partai pendukung 01 akan mengirimkan wakilnya untuk menjadi Menteri dalam Pemerintahan Prabowo-Gibran. Sementara itu, Koalisi 03 akan tetap konsisten berada di luar Pemerintahan, menurut kabar mereka enggan untuk bergabung, karena seperti yang kita tahu itu disebabkan karena dinamika politik kemarin.

Tidak dapat di sangkal, kebanyakan Menteri yang menduduki jabatan akan bekerja lebih maksimal untuk Partainya, karena mereka dianggap sebagai petugas Partai. Power ketua Partai sangat besar, hal inilah yang sebagian besar orang tidak memahaminya, mereka seperti di setir oleh ketua Partai. Selain itu, saya pikir fungsi pengawasan DPR memang tidak pernah berjalan dengan semestinya, dua periode Pemerintahan Jokowi bisa menjadi contoh nyata, dimana yang menguasai DPR juga Partai yang sama.

Tentu kita berharap kedepan akan ada perubahan, meski tidak akan langsung dapat dirasakan oleh masyarakat. Presiden dan wakil rakyat yang sudah terpilih tersebut mestinya dapat menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik, bukan malah sibuk mengurusi pembagian kursi Menteri atau bagi-bagi kekuasaan saja. Rakyat mengharapkan perubahan, dan mengharapkan janji kampanye mereka dapat di realisasikan satu per satu.

Well the matches to play is still much when we narrow them down to the number of points that needs collecting by two teams but although the difference between the two teams is vividly clear s Real Madrid are much more stable than Barcelona but anything can happen. Well Girona have really slowed down on their pace in the league and it's funny seeing this because they almost ravished the whole teams in the Spanish Laliga division.
Real Madrid this season has been more consistent than Barcelona, so in my opinion it is impossible for Barcelona to catch points from Madrid even though there are still many games left this season. I think Barcelona's current concentration will focus on fighting PSG in the UCL League. What's interesting about Girona's recent performance is that Girona has appeared very surprising in his first 22 matches in La Liga this season. In fact, in those 22 matches, Girona only lost once. However, in the last 7 matches, Girona seemed to have run out of stamina or lost concentration because in those seven matches, Girona was only able to win the match twice. In the remaining matches, Girona drew with Sociedad, lost to Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Real Mallorca, and finally Getafe.

Girona's next match is against Real Betis, of course this match is quite important for them. The reason is, if they lose again in this match, it could be said that Girona will decline even further and might finish in fourth place until the end of the season or could even be out of the UCL league zone.
Regarding Barcelona chances of becoming a competitor again in the hunt for trophies this season, I think Xavi odds are very low and we know that Madrid is still very consistent. It is true that mathematically Barcelona still has a chance, because there are still 9 matches remaining. But it is not certain that Madrid will lost a lot of points and it is also not certain that Barcelona themselves will be able to consistently sweep all future matches.

With these facts, it makes sense that Barcelona will focus more on competing in the Champions League, and will continue to try to stabilize its performance in La Liga so that it can finish in runnerup position. Meanwhile, Girona, who is currently 2 points adrift of Barcelona, will find it very difficult to climb back up the rankings and overtake Barcelona again, considering that they are running out of steam towards the end of the season, in this case the Blaugrana have a slight advantage.

Even so, what Girona has shown this season is worthy of appreciation, they have developed much better than the previous season. Apart from that, Girona reputation has made us quite entertained with the various surprises they have been able to create, such as beating Barcelona and ATM in the first half of the season yesterday. What is clear is that Girona can definitely finish in the top four of the standings and secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League next season.

I also read from the same report, namely Fabrizio Romano. he reported several tweets, which suggested that Alonso would stay with Bayer Leverkusen. quote that a few hours ago, Xabi Alonso had a good meeting with Bayer Leverkusen and told them that he will stay and remain at the club. which means Alonso won't be going anywhere next summer, whether it's to Bayern Munich or Liverpool. Alonso remains with Leverkusen, he even said that this is not the time to decide his future, he wants to develop at Bayer Leverkusen.

If this report happens to be legit, then this is a very nice decision made by Alonso, being in haste to leave Bayern Leverkusen after building such a formidable team wouldn't make sense, at least he should spend one or two more seasons with the club because going to another club after the season ends, he would have to start building a team with that new club and this isn't something easy to because you need to master things with the new club, even sometimes it might even take a couple of years before some coaches gets to understand things with their new clubs, and if it happens to be an impatient club like that of Chelsea who don't normally have patient with their manager, he will be sacked almost immediately if there are no results with the team.
Big teams like Bayern or Liverpool certainly apply high standards to their managers, where management will always demand Xabi to provide trophies every season. Xabi certainly understands this well, so staying at Leverkusen for another season or two could give him a better experience. Apart from that, next season Xabi and his fleet will play in the Champions League, which will certainly give him a better experience.

It's true, if Xabi decides to leave for another club, of course he needs time to adapt, Xabi is required to adjust his strategy and build chemistry with his new squad. At Laverkusen everything has been formed, Xabi only needs to add depth to the squad for next season, and no longer needs a lot of time to prepare everything.

The news that Xabi will stay next season with Leverkusen seems to be official, especially if Fabrizio Romano has indicated it. However, what is clear is that next season will be more difficult to navigate than this season, where the unbeaten record they created this season will be very difficult for them to surpass. Apart from that, Bayern will certainly improve their squad so they can dominate the Bundesliga again.

Manchester city as a team are very good and I know for sure that they don't rely on a single player before they perform their magic and that's why I feel even if debryune is going to be absent they can still manage their way out of the game and maneuver their way to victory against arsenal although the winning is extremely needed by the two teams so I don't know how the outcome of the game will be till they have played it out.
I have said, Manchester City will not depend on one player and their victory or defeat will not depend on one player either.

They have Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Kovacic, Nunes as midfielders, while Erling Haaland is also ready for the match. Pep Guardiola doesn't have many shortcomings even without De Bruyne and Ederson, but if those two players are there then of course Pep Guardiola has many complete options in his squad.

Arsenal are not favorites, but they have a chance. Everyone also knows that Manchester City is the favorite, but considering that Arsenal has big ambitions to maintain the top position in the standings, the match will be very high-tension.
Even though Pep Guardiola and Arteta do not have a complete squad, the match will take place at high intensity and we will witness an entertaining match. Pep Guardiola has no shortage of rotation options, he has quality players to fill his strat XI, as does Arteta, who this season has built a better squad depth than last season.

All the players in City main lineup are star players, Halaand tends to stand out more because of his role as the main goal scorer. However, we have seen that almost all City players can score goals at important moments, with Foden sometimes appearing more impressive than Halaand. Losing De Bruyne is indeed a big loss, meaning Arsenal can use it as an opportunity.

On the other hand, I think City will play more aggressively, because they have a grudge to settle and they want a place at the top of the standings. The strength of Arteta fleet will be tested, with most people still thinking they will not be able to handle the heavy pressure. In the Champions League, Arsenal were able to break any worries by advancing to the quarter finals, and we'll see if they can do it in the EPL, where City are the favorites.

Arsenal and Manchester city plays between in this round of Premier League, it can be a good rule to measure how good or in which level they come back from this international break and also for Arsenal to prove they dont fear to become the number one or the contender of the tournament, wich is very important to have when you want to reach high levels on europe like the Champions League finals tages/games.
But Arsenal will play away, maybe they will find it difficult to win the second time at the Etihad stadium because in the previous meeting, Arsenal narrowly won, beating Manchester City at their home, in tomorrow's match, Guardiola certainly wants a win at their home because Manchester City needs a win to be at the top. standings as well as securing its position to be able to fight for the title this season, of course Manchester City will at least play optimally in tomorrow's match,

I can't predict the result but I am confident that Manchester City can win narrowly against Arsenal and of course the match will be played with high tension because they both want to win, I am sure that both teams will not play a draw and someone will win in tomorrow's match. I'm sure Manchester City will come out on top tomorrow with more than 1 goal because the match looks like it will be interesting to watch and I think the sports betting market is also busy with the match between these two teams because it determines who is the best in the EPL this season.
To be honest, the City vs Arsenal match is quite difficult to predict, and I think many bettors avoid placing bets on the win of either one. We have seen every detailed information about the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams so far, the fact is that these two teams are currently in their best performance, and City has a slight advantage because they act as hosts at the Etihad. We can only say that a draw seems fair enough for both teams, but I also realize that the two teams will be reluctant to share points.

Apart from that, the result of this match will certainly have an impact on their position in the standings, where Liverpool will take a direct advantage to lead the standings, unless Arsenal win. Arteta has certainly prepared his fleet to visit the Etihad, even though several of his key players are reportedly sidelined due to injury. Likewise with City, Pep Guardiola will not want to lose any more momentum to lead the standings.

This match can certainly be a reference for everyone to assess their strength when playing in the Champions League, where the big match can give us an idea of their chances of beating their opponents in the quarter finals later.

With a difference of 10 points I think it will be difficult to catch Leverkusen. It is almost impossible to expect Leverkusen to lose all 4 matches and Munich to win them all. But Leverkusen did not want to get pressure from Munich. So I think they will still aim to win that game. Hoffenheim is in poor form. I think they will have a hard time winning. It is even difficult for them to get a draw against Leverkusen. After breaking many records in the Bundesliga, such as most wins in a season and longest unbeaten streak, I think Leverkusen will still continue to add to their record statistics.
Its over for catching up Bayern Leverkusen with 10 points left depend on 8 matches left, most of opponent teams face by Bayern Leverkusen are easily and not problem for winning all matches left for getting three points. Next match, Bayern Leverkusen will face Hoffenheim with bad result in last two matches without winning yet and I think Xabi Alonso will be easily take three points and has large chance for winning Bundesliga trophy.
Bayern Leverkusen's matches left seems difficult when facing Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, but I think Leverkusen will not losses three points and the other matches left likely easy take three points such as facing Union Berlin, Werder Bremen, Bochum and Augsburg.
The competition for the Bundesliga trophy seems to be over, what Bayern can do and hope for now is to reduce the difference in points with Leverkusen. Xabi and his fleet will certainly try their best to finish this season with an unbeaten record, so Bayern chances of closing the gap are also relatively low. Moreover, it is reported that Xabi has agreed to stay, this will clearly provide motivation for the Leverkusen squad to sweep all remaining matches.

The match between Leverkusen and Hoffenheim will most likely be easy, where Xabi fleet has a great chance of securing 3 points and re-affirming its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Hoffenheim needs a miracle to create a surprise, I don't think Leverkusen will suffer its first defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim.

Regarding the remaining matches ahead, there are indeed several teams that have the potential to stop Leverkusen from achieving full points. However, I am sure that what will happen will be as usual, where Leverkusen will be able to win in these somewhat troublesome matches, and I think Leverkusen will still be reluctant to share points with a number of these clubs.

The earlier Barcelona fans  accept that they are no longer on par with Real Madrid, the better for them and this will help them save much revenue than thinking of getting top stars players to compete with Real Madrid rather focus on their La Masia stars which has been a blessing to them and with a span of 3 to 5 years they can be out with the financial struggles and within these years be qualifying champions league and win any of the domestic league or even LA liga. Though I can say Xavi has done well with this team even with his up and down but I guessed he is still the best man fit for the job since I don't think Barcelona can afford getting a top coach now especially not now when they have to think of getting Felix, Cancelo and reforcing midfield base on this season injury struggle.
Yes, Xavi has done various good things to lift Barcelona to its current condition. Therefore, I am sure that Barcelona management will try to keep Xavi. Because after all, it is not certain that a top coach will join Barcelona with the financial conditions they are currently facing. And if he wasn't a top coach, it's not certain that he would lead Barcelona to be much better than what Xavi has achieved. This is a dilemma for them. They shouldn't want such big demands for Xavi with their current condition. I understand that this might make Xavi even more enthusiastic and boost him to make Barcelona even better. However, who knows how long Xavi will be able to accept conditions like this.
It's true, Barcelona management will have difficulty finding a new successor to replace Xavi next season, they certainly can't afford it if they are required to win all the matches, but are not supported by an adequate budget and squad. It makes sense why Barcelona President Juan Laporta hopes that Xavi can stay, because he can't do much to recruit a top coach who can manage Barcelona beyond Xavi's performance.

It is very likely that Xavi will not change his decision, he has announced that he is resigning, which means that Xavi no longer wants to continue his managerial career at Barcelona  although he really loves the club. On the other hand, there is news that Xavi could stay next season if they can win the Champions League trophy this season. But I think Barcelona chances of winning the UCL trophy are very low, just like Xavi chances of surviving.

Meanwhile, we will never know how long Barcelona will be able to get out of this financial crisis. What we should be grateful for is that Barcelona is still one of the ruling teams in the top four of the standings, even though it is currently a little impossible to win the La Liga trophy. However, Xavi deserves appreciation for his work so far, and he does not deserve to be completely blamed when Barcelona experiences ups and downs in performance.

I agree with you, I think Xabi needs one more year with Bayer Leverkusen to get a more respectable position. However, according to media reports, Bayern Munich are interested in signing him. Bayern Munich will part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. They need a technical director and I'm sure they will also want to weaken their opponents as they always do. If they insist on Xabi Alonso they can finish this transfer, there are very few who can say no to them.
Bayern Munich are coming to recruit the only promising manager in Bundesliga this season, the Bavarians will do everything within their reach to ensure they're all in for the top target. Leverkusen will continue to fight to get tight grab on Xabi Alonso because he's the frontrunner for the club, the formidable pillar behind the sudden improvements of Leverkusen this season, it's not always easy to keep striving for good results. Xabi Alonso will never stop believing how far he has gone this season, accomplishing and breaking records this season, they've been doing the ultimate moves.
I think all clubs will be interested in recruiting Xabi and appointing him as their head coach, not just Bayern or Liverpool. Whether he survives or not, Xabi is now a highly respected manager, especially if he is able to win the Europa League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies all in one season. Leverkusen will receive many offers in the upcoming transfer window, not only offers for Xabi, but also for their key players.

Bayern will certainly try to recruit Xabi, this is part of their strategy to dominate the Bundesliga again, where I believe Leverkusen performance will weaken if Xabi leaves next season. However, it is not impossible that Xabi will survive, and they will fight again to create an unbeaten record, so that competition in the Bundesliga will be even more competitive.

On the other hand, if Leverkusen is able to achieve treble winners, then a number of bonuses they get can be used to increase the depth of the squad, so that they will be able to compete in higher competitions, namely the Champions League. Let's wait and see how many trophies they can win this season, and how the speculation about Xabi future ends.

Liverpool might take advantage if Manchester City and Arsenal draw, but I'm sure one of the two will win the game and I'm picking Manchester City to do it. Manchester City have home advantage and the record, but that doesn't mean Arsenal won't surprise.
Games immediately after the international break are usually very tricky, managers have to assess their players to know who is fit or not and also to know the players who are fresh in their minds and ready to go again. City had a couple of injury scares during the international break, though only two of those players (Walker and Stones) missed training today.

These injuries could have an impact on the game, Saka also pulled out of the England squad, i think footballers are made to play too many games, and it is taking a toll on them. City hardly lose at the Etihad, and that home advantage could be the reason they get over the line, but what is likely to happen in this game is a draw.
A draw sounds fair for both of them, considering that Arteta and Pep Guardiola don't seem to have a complete squad due to injuries. It is true that it will be very difficult for any team, including Arsenal, to beat City at the Etihad, regardless of the ambitious background that both teams have. But whatever the result, Liverpool will most likely get a blessing from this match.

Of course Arsenal have the attributes to cause a surprise, they have also proven they can beat City, and Arteta fleet has the opportunity to do it again. Apart from that, this is the attraction, where City will try to take revenge against Arsenal and at the same time they can move up one ranking, if Liverpool stumble then City will automatically take over the top of the standings.

The storm of injuries is always a frightening threat for all teams, because it can affect their chances of securing full points in every match. Especially towards the end of the season like now, where the difference in goals alone can make a difference in position in the standings. Like many people, I also think the City versus Arsenal match is actually very difficult to predict.
