The main tasks of Xavi is bring the positive air back to the club, then confidence and better results. Not title in near future and it is acceptable if Xavi can help Barcelona to maintain their good position on top and income. That's it for current period.

If Xavi succeeds with these tasks, Barcelona can think of title next 3 seasons when their finance improves more.

It's secret why Manchester United have been too patiently with Ole. I can not get it.

To have safety for funds, there are two sides in the story and it needs both sides to complete their responsibility

Gambling site or exchange: make sure they build up and maintain high secured platform.
Customer: make sure they use strong password, activate 2FA and back up their information offline, not in online devices or on Cloud service.

If any of two sides can not complete their responsibility, fund will be at risk.

Juventus are stabilizing their squad and they are improving results in latest matches. I think they will gradually to return to best form but it is unrealistic to think Juve will compete with Napoli, AC and Inter Milan for Scudetto.

The most realistic aim for them is the third or fourth position and go to Champions League. It will help them to maintain both income (from Champions League) and the attraction to star players. If they achieve it, they can buy one or two star players in the next summer transfer and improve their strength.

I am keen on Juve in this match, not Lazio.

Things can not be changed 100% after a few days. New coaches will bring more motivation, fresh training, working environment for players and can make short term positive effects. We can expect a little bit better results from Barcelona in coming weeks.

However, their honey moon with Xavi won't last long because their own problems can not be fixed too fast. I believe they will have honey moon because their quality is still good enough to bring win matches to them if they play with good mentality.

Look at Premier League, Manchester Untied, Ole came and brought short term good results but after 3 years, he fell down a lot there. I don't say Xavi will step on the same shoes of Ole, because they are different coaches and Xavi just begin his career in La Liga. Let's see this interesting debut of Xavi in Barcelona.

It is true. Not only Dortmund but also other teams that have great strikers in their squads, they will do rely on those productive strikers to find goals.

Even in Bundesliga, Bayern rely on Lewandowski for goals. It does not mean they can not score goals and win matches if Lewandowski can not finish his main task on field. Other players can do but the main percent of goals will come from Lewandowski.

Dortmund can try to reduce and minimize the dependence on Haaland but whenever he is in BvB, he will contribute the most goals for the clubs. With Dortmund, they are too good to find replacements and they will be fine when Haaland moves to another club. However, their ability to compete for the title comes from the whole team, not from Haaland.

Milan are realistic in Champions League because they see a very minor chance to go next. Moreover, even if they go next, they will not have too good chance to win next rounds.

Rather than wasting their resource for Champions League with vague hope, they should concentrate resource for Serie A where they are in the top standings and are fighting with Napoli, Inter Milan for Scudetto. Win the Scudetto this season and return stronger in Champions League next year. It's a good plan.

Extremely risky if you aim at Short in bull run. If you are not a pro trader, you should not short in bull run. A trend is a friend. In bull run, buy and hold in Spot trading or if you use leverage, open Long position with acceptable leverage.

Short, itself is not for long time of position to be opened. Open a short position and close it shortly after that. If you open a short position and let it opens for days, your collateral can be liquidated.

We know Bitcoin usually has big movement each 2 weeks.

With Xavi, we can expect a return of real tiki-taka or a new version of it. After the domination of Barcelona, clubs around Europe tried to break it and they succeeded as well as national teams successfully beat Spain.

So if Xavi is obsessed with tiki-taka, he must renew it and fix holes of the tactic. Current player resource of Barcelona is a challenge for Xavi and I don't hope too high that they can complete the season in top 4 or higher. The 4th position can be the highest one they can reach to at the end of this season.

It's mandatory task for Xavi because without Champions League, Barcelona will become less attractive in eyes of star players and they will also lose a big source of income.

Coaches who have experience to win titles and are working for big clubs, top candidates for the title this season: Pep, Klopp, Conte and Tuchel.

Conte can be striked out this season because Tottenham don't have good resource and good results so far. We can add him and Spurs to the list next season.

So the competition will be amongst Pep, Klopp and Tuchel as the current standings show too. No place for Manchester United and Ole.

Roma in fact are not a too strong club in Serie A last few seasons. They failed to end in top 4 in the recent seasons. It is reason they hired Mourinho and gave him a task to bring them back to Champions League. So far, they are not falling too far from this target. I think Mourinho is too ambitious and want to try fighting for Scudetto. He had more hope especially after they got a few good early matches.

However, some failures and the limitations of player resource shows that it is impossible task for Roma and Mourinho. Top 4 or the fourth position is more realistic target for them.

More disciplined and more serious training. They are fundamental factors to help Barcelona to come back. Players like Dembele will not like this change because he has never shown his professional in the club, after a few years there. He has issues with injuries but his professional is not good that constrains his career so much.

What did you imply about the system of penalties? Did you mean that Barcelona stopped training with penalty shot since 2017?

I can not imagine if it is real approach in their training. Penalty is very good chance to score goal so if they did not train it for their players, it sucks certainly. If it is true, I now can understand why Barcelona missed many penalties.

Xavi can have success like Zidane in Real Madrid because they are too smart midfielders. In my opinion, coaches who have player career in midfielder position has more advantage than others who player at defense or attacking position. Because in midfield, they can more easily to observe the overal situation. How tactics works, how opponents successfully break their defense system.

I can not say about Xavi career as a coach in Barcelona and I can only wish him luck.

The priority of Barcelona and Xavi should be enforce players to be more actively and hard-working in trainings. There are rumor that in the past few years, the severity of training in Barcelona is not too high and it probably affected their results.

Moreover, Xavi is aiming at get rid of the importance and effects of legendary players in the club, begin with Pique, Alba. He knows that the time of those players is ending but Barcelona must use them for 2 to 3 more seasons. However, they should be used in a way with which they are not barriers for the club as well as growth of young players.

In my opinion, Maguire is not a top-notch defender but if we skip all of his contribution for Manchester United, it is not right and not fair. When Maguire came, he helped to improved the defense system of Man United. What happened is players around him are not good especially his team mate in the centre. The club tried to fix it by buying Varane from Real Madrid but so far he spent more time in health recovery than real matches.

It is not only about faith but also about the system Solskjaer has built up for the club after 3 years there. I don't see clearly what tactic he builds for the club. He drains his favorite players' energy a lot and don't care to protect them in unimportant matches. Then in important matches, for titles, example, they were exhausted and the consequence is their bad performance that in turn results in failure in final matches. No title at the end, something like this.

Football during last 20 years are crazy. We have many bomb scorers like Ronaldo, Messi, Benzema, Lewandowski and now Haaland, Mbappe.

They break many records in European football. I remembered that Inzaghi and Raul were fighting for the first position in Champions League scorer table. Now they are all falling behind this generation. Unbelievable!

Two decades ago, scoring 20 to 25 goals within one season is almost cap in all leagues but now 30 or 35 goals are not impossible with many players. Are they - attacking players - becoming better or in this generation, defenders are worse?

Everything has limits and Ole has been given three seasons in Old Trafford with too good support from the board. The support he got is totally different from what Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho.

If results won't be improved, Ole won't be saved in the club. He will be fired but it seems he is very lucky. Whenever he is in the verge of sack, he was saved by players. We witnessed it again in the last few matches before the derby defeat.

The issue for United is they will not easily to find another good coach on the market, now or even next summer.

Manchester United fall behind competitors for the title but they also fall deeply enough to see Arsenal stands above them. It is unbelievable when the season kicked off because Arsenal was in bad crisis with Arteta last 2 seasons. Nobody believe that they can have higher ranking than Manchester United. Especially can not imagine of that, because Manchester United just have a good transfer season with Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo.

The biggest failure is from Solskajer who can not manage the club too good as expected by the board and fans.

This match is another example that if in Bundesliga, local clubs can not beat Bayern, they will not be able to prevent or break the domination of Bayern in Bundesliga.

Bring some difficulty for Bayern or win against them a few matches are not enough. Bundesliga needs to have more clubs that can challenge Bayern in specific matches and in a whole competition. For now I don't see those clubs. Only Dortmund in the last decade. Leverkusen and Leipzig are rising in last 3 seasons but they are far from a level to take over the championship from Bayern.

Freiburg lost not only a match but also their confidence in the competition. I don't think they can do better than Dortmund and won't be table to win this league.

Bayern always are able to win many matches in Bundesliga but run away from other opponents or not. It is not their issue, it is problem of Bayern's competitors.

If they - Bayern's competitors - lose in many matches and lose many points, they will automatically be fallen behind Bayern. It occurs in many seasons of Bundesliga. Bayern have the best stability to get 3 points. Many times, they did not win big but managed to win with only one difference goal that is enough to get 3 points.

Competitors of Bayern can win big but they can not win in so many matches. The importance is three points, not how many goals you can score if you win.

Atalanta returns to the top and I believe they can do more. In Champions League, what they shown against Manchester United is amazing and it shows their strength.

Lazio is moving up too and the surprise comes from AS Roma. They are losing their position and many points. The last match with Venezia, they missed so many chances and at the end of match, they got a conceded goal and lost it all. Mourinho was very angry with his players and poured it in the press conference after the match.

I think they are at same quality but Inter Milan players have more experience to fight for Scudetto, at least one more year than AC Milan. AC Milan just came back to top of Serie in last 2 seasons.

Xavi does love the club when he accepted this offer. In this period, taking the coach position in Barcelona is very challenging. They are in financial issue and if Xavi fails to help them get a spot to Champions League next season, it would be the end for his career in Camp Nou. Because with Barcelona now, losing a Champions League ticket will be a nightmare they don't want to have.

They are not weak but not strong enough to compete for title and to support or heal the weakness of their defense. So they are more vulnerable to be conceded with attacks from opponents.

The main task for Xavi is to bring the high ball possession back in order to help Barcelona reduce risks from opponent attacks. Like what Manchester City did in the Derby of Manchester. They did not give United any chance to create pressure or dangerous attack on their goal. Because they have dominating ball possession in that match.
