The match between Tottenham and Aston Villa will be a very exciting spectacle, considering that the two are only 1 point apart, so I think both Tottenham and Aston Villa will definitely be aiming for victory. Even though Tottenham will play at home, Aston Villa still has a chance to win because I think Tottenham is not in good condition at the moment. After Tottenham lost to Chelsea, I thought that Tottenham lost their confidence, therefore they couldn't play freely with no pressure, and that is what caused them to lose against Wolves.

A victory will be very valuable for Tottenham because it can boost their morale and their confidence. But if what happened was the opposite, I think it would make them even worse and what is certain is that they will be knocked out of the top 4.

Freiburg is totally underperform. Leipzig was obviously dominating the match. It has been owning the ball possession as well as the goal attempts. it proves that leipzig is far superior to freiburg. The current standing is also saying about the truth.
Xavi simons was outstanding player during the game. No doubt many fans were praising him a lot due to his beautiful performance against freiburg. His opening goal has been motiating leipzig a lot.

That's the key that has made leipzig won the game against freiburg. Leipzig is now at the fourth position while freiburg was at the 8th.

Outstanding performance from leipzig. Leipzig plays without burden caused by the club has been qualified to the last 16. No doubt if its players are playing freely. Nice score from leipzig.
Freiburg needs to learn how to have a proper build.

That's right, none other than because the competition in the top five is very tight, plus the difference in points from the five teams is very thin, indirectly there is not the slightest time to relax for them with this thin difference, and also yes with this then there is no reason for them to waste or not maximize their performance in the next few matches, of course because if they slip just a little then obviously they will be displaced in the order. Basically all teams want to be the best and the strongest at the end of the season, hence the need for action to improve their performance from time to time, there is no rest before the competition is over.

Yes although some time ago I was very impressed and believed in Tottenham but it seems that now no longer, I will not put too much hope in them, because as we know the impact of their previous match against Chelsea not only put a big disappointment for the fans but on the other hand at the same time they also had to lose two key players who suffered injuries, as you said and that is why they are now getting down in the rankings. To finish in 4th/5th place I think is very good for a team that is having problems with their depth.

Those guys were not pure striker. Barcelona has only lewandowski as a pure striker and good one tap at the upfront. You can force some players to play as a striker to replace him but the instinct owned by pure striker was also totally different.
Lewandowski is much more experienced played as a striker. Xabi has been putting felix and ferran as a striker a few times and they were totally flop when playing as striker. This is why barcelona is demanding to buy a new striker as a back up for lewandowski.

Having someone who understood about the positioning is a must but i remember barcelona is not in a good finance at this moment. It was limiting the ability of barcelona to buy the new striker.
This team has been linked to the several strikers who had very big release clause like haaland. I guess that barcelona doesn't have money to sign him through buy him out by paying more than 100 millions.

The match between Inter Milan versus Juventus will be held after the international break, and I think this is the match most awaited by all Serie A fans. Because this match will create an increasingly wide gap in points between the other teams in the top four. standings, and Juventus will not just let their opponent top the standings. On paper, I think Inter is still a little better than Juventus, both in terms of the number of goals they scored and the number they conceded. But in the upcoming match, Allegri squad will act as hosts, of course this will provide more motivation for them to hold back Inter progress.

There are still a lot of matches remaining in Serie A, because we are just entering week 13, which means it is very difficult for Inter and Juventus to go undefeated or draw until the end of the season, so AC Milan and Napoli still have a chance to catch up on the points difference. Of course, this only applies if they themselves continue to be consistent, but overall I see that the points gap that Inter currently has is not yet safe from being chased by other teams below them.

In fact, the pattern promoted by Gennaro Gattuso is quite ideal given the depth of the Marseille squad. unfortunately, from the start Maserille chose the wrong coach. I don't want to say that Marselino is an incompetent coach, but he rather applies patterns, systems and formations that are outdated and difficult to develop. Now, Maseille has changed coaching, although to be honest it was much better when Igor Tudor was in charge of this team. However, we will give Gattuso the opportunity to prove his quality as a coach. He has played 8 matches with Marseille in two competitions, winning three, drawing two and losing three.

In the domestic league, Maseille is in 10th place and is very far behind the points difference with the teams in the top four of the standings. Even though it's not ideal, we'll see, the Ligue 1 competition still has a lot of matches left.  Well, in this competition, they are in first place with 8 points and below them is Brighton with 7 points. These two teams, one of which has the potential to win a ticket to the round of 16. but with the condition, they have to win the match before these two teams meet. The results of the match determine which team will advance to the round of 16 and the other team must go through the playoffs to get a ticket to the last 16. Well, at least it's quite interesting for those presented by the Europa League.

As far as I have read, based on several newspapers, Neymar will have to be absent more or less until this season ends. That is why Al Hilal officials agreed to remove Neymar from the playing list for the 23/24 season. with the scenario, Al Hilal can still increase its quota to bring in other top European players. and maybe, they have plans in the next transfer window. that's the reason, Neymar was dropped only for this season. and if I refer to transfermart, Neymar still has a contract with Al Hilal until 2025 with the option of extending the contract for another year.

Well, so I'm not sure what you're saying from this post. Or maybe, I'm missing the latest information regarding Neymar and Al Hilal. But I still assume that Al Hilal will keep Neymar. However, he was not included in the squad this season. and if this news is true, it means that Al Hilal will look for a player who has a typical character like Nemar. or, attacking midfielder. because for a pure striker, they already have it. After all, they took this option to further strengthen the Al Hilal squad, in fact, as reported, Al Hilal only wanted to increase the quota slot in order to smooth out their targets for this season. As for the player options they are targeting, so far I haven't read the latest rumors or reports.

The last result was really unacceptable result. Napoli losses against empoli and this was not even happening last season. If i were napoli president and i saw that result as a disgrace for the club. Losing against a club that was almost entering into the relegation zone is unacceptable thing.
Remember intermiland and juventus are making the gap to the napoli became even bigger. Losing points meant less chance to be back-to-back champion of serie a. Napoli was almost losing a chance to win scudetto again.
The performance from napoli was so average. This is also a sense reason to sack him then sign tudor as a new coach. A short term contract being prepared by the club and we will see tudor becomes a new appointment for partinopei.

Im still waiting for the further development from tudor's recruitment process. It has become the end of rudi. This guy being sacked again after he was also going out from al nassr.
Rudi needs to learn a lot from his past experience to be even better.

Last season, Lens only participated in two competitions, namely Ligue 1 and Coupe de France. plus they also have some pretty good players, so Franck Haise was able to maximize the team's squad to finish in 2nd place in Ligue 1. In last season's transfer window, they sold several quite prominent players and brought in several newcomers according to the club's budget. Unfortunately, their performance did not match the expectations of Lens supporters. they got off to a difficult start to the season, without a win in their first five matches.

However, gradually, their performance began to increase even though it was not stable. This is natural, considering that Lens is taking part in a competition at a level above Ligue 1. Automatically, the pressure comes from both outside and inside. as we can see, Lens performance is unstable. However, in Ligue 1 their performance started to get better. Now Lens is in 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings, even though they are 4 points adrift of the team above Reims.
Ideally, if Lens perform optimally, it would be better for them to only focus on the Ligue 1 competition. In this way, the probability of their performance changing for the better seems to be able to be increased. For the Champions League, even though Lens are in 2nd place, their chances of qualifying seem difficult. Moreover, with the existing player material. Well, let's see how the Lens coach brings his squad. At least focus on Ligue 1, because other competitions will only interfere with their performance.

Likewise with Real Madrid, the fact is that the team that was their opponent in the group phase was not as strong as the previous season. Napoli, not in a stable condition. but in fact, they were able to provide quite interesting resistance to Real Madrid. I have not seen Madrid against a strong and consistent team. only Barcelona, ​​and even then in the domestic league with the absence of several of Xavi Hernandez's squad, it is possible that in the round of 16 Madrid will be met with one of the strong teams.

Not much different from Man City, but their record is still one of the best teams and is even the favorite to defend their title in this competition. City, like Madrid, will qualify to become leaders in their respective groups in this group phase.

Well, now we talk about Bayern Munich. It could be said that Thomas Tuchel's squad still has problems in its squad. Tuchel must strengthen his defense line by closing the gaps that they lack. Likewise with the main goalkeeper, who has not yet fully returned to playing at his best. however, don't get me wrong. This German team is capable and worthy of providing resistance to Madrid and Manchester City. Yep, after all, Kane's presence in the current Bayern squad has made a big contribution. Kane, is not only a goal machine for them. However, he often also takes part in providing assists and space for his teammates. problem, Tuchel just needs to perfect the system he implements. The rest, we'll just see as this team plays match after match.

It is normal to see Napoli not doing this great, firing the manager is sensible and understandable because they are not happy, and they even fired the manager who won them the title so it is fully understandable they would fire Garcia too. However, it is also normal that they would not be that good, we are talking about a team that was extra good last year, it was exceptional and to be fair it was a bit unrealistic even though it was the reality, nobody expected them to be this good and it was a big shock to the whole world that they became that good.

It was expected that they would get a little worse, and I think it is understandable that we are talking about a situation that would not be that easy for them all. It makes sense that they would peg down a little bit and not have the same results. I think they could still win the championship, they are not that bad, and a few good game winning streak could see them at the top which would be great for them.

No no, that's really wrong. Sancho has been kicked out from manchester united what's app group and how can you consider selling him as a wrong option for manchester united? How can you sure if M united won't do that? I guess you meant about nacho not sancho, right? Please, take a look at the reality of sancho never be used by ten hag anymore. He has the right to decide his future as well. Ten hag will never give him a chance to play in the main squad due tot he conflict between him and sancho.

There have been also many predictions if sancho will be leaving from the club too. The response we received from the management and Ten Hag has given us sufficient indications that Manchester United will soon sell him, making it quite clear.
Juventus has told MU about team's interest to take him as a loan, but MU has not given any answer regarding juventus's offer.

Sancho deserves to play in a club that puts more respect to him. The conflict between ten hag and sancho will never be solved. Hoping him to stay in united is too good to be true.

Your opinion is reasonable, Manchester United will not be able to escape from the group phase because the remaining matches are against strong teams such as Galatasaray and Bayern Munich. Maybe they should focus on qualifying for the European league by pursuing third place in the group considering that Manchester United's decline is not only a strategic problem but many injured players will put Erik Tag in big trouble.

But I still believe that MU's recent downturn is due to Erik Tag Hag's own fault for not being able to discipline his players, and he doesn't dare to bench players who really don't work, they continue to be played even though these players never improve every time they are played. I hope that when we play against Galatasaray, Erik Tag Hag will have the courage to take a firm stance towards the players and can formulate a good strategy, because victory over Galatasaray is important for increasing the players' self-confidence.

Lille having good start of this season with currently they are undefeated in last 9 games in all competitions, but their performance in Ligue 1 is surely need improvement they bring down themselves at this spot after few bore draws specially against Toulouse which are at the bottom but done good job against them here now next match against Lyon which is at the bottom of the league table and having first win against Rennes is good for them now as Lens is also improving for the better spot challenges are coming for them to have consistency otherwise they can bring themselves into trouble for the top ranks.

Monaco and Nice are good but as we all know how unpredictable and bad is Ligue 1 things can take any time any change which is surely not good, but each of the teams need consistency which will allow them for staying into hunt for the better end hopefully in coming days we will have good improvement.

Juventus are on fire right now. They are on winning streak that shows their quality as a team has improved a lot. Massimiliano Allegri has taken control back on his squad bad seasons he had before. They are now back to be favorite team to win the league with the balance squad they have and can focus on the league.

Inter Milan are also on very good form. they won games in Serie A and Champions League comfortably. They maintain their confidence as Champions League Finalist very well. Simone Inzaghi is very well-aware that the competition is still a long way to go with many other teams have improved a lot while they have lost few good players and signed some new players.

I think the Game Jeventus vs Inter Milan will be so intense. whoever perform with better defense have more chance to win because this game will be so tactical.

The Bundesliga years have been a bit boring because the Bundesliga champions are definitely Bayer Munich and even their dominance has reached a decade. Even if there is a team like Dortmund which is a tough challenger, it is not successful enough to increase Bayern Munich's superiority because Dortmund's important players are always sold only for business interests.

But this season looks like it will be a little different because surprisingly Leverkusen has become a serious challenger to Bayern Munich, under coach XAbi Alanso Leverkusen has become a strong team. Predictions in the Bundesliga this season will be very tight, in fact it is not only tight between the competition to win the Bundesliga, to get a place to play in Europe, and the competition to get away from the relegation zone will also be tight.

I mean Ronaldo being able to score 16 goals in 17 games is not that shocking, he is playing in Saudi League, not like there are any decent defenders that are stopping him, Ronaldo is either the best player that ever played, or if not at least second best player that ever played, we are talking about the top two spots in all of football history, that is my list. It's either Messi first Ronaldo second or Ronaldo first Messi second, that is my list.

And for a player at that level, even at age 38, it would be normal for him to just be able to score that much goals at a terrible league. There are no players there that can stop him, on games that has great defenders he may miss his chances, and on bad ones he can score 3-5 goals to cover the difference easily. That is what we are seeing, this dude was scoring at premier league just two years ago, hattricks and all, how worse could he get in 2 years that he would not be able to score at Saudi league out of all leagues?

It's quite interesting when you look at the current competition for the top four in the English Premier League standings, but with the unstable performance of Man United and Chelsea, the competition feels incomplete. The current points gap is not too big, in the sense that every club in the UCL zone still has a chance to top the standings and it is still very possible for changes to occur every week. Talking about the top teams in the title race this season, the four clubs that currently occupy the top four of the standings really deserve to be on the list.

In general, it will not be easy for Pep Guardiola squad to defend the EPL trophy this season, along with the increasing performance of other teams at the same time. I think in the future it will be very difficult for teams that have gone far in the UCL to achieve stable performance in two competitions at once, so this is a moment for clubs with minimal match schedules to top the standings like Tottenham.

- We can't keep comparing the past to the present indefinitely. Each era has its own characteristics, and the style of play evolves over time. Every football team experiences glory in a certain period, and Barcelona is no exception. It's unrealistic to expect a team to stay at its peak forever; highs are often followed by lows, and Barcelona has likely moved past its peak period of dominance. They have a rich history, undergoing restructuring for a new generation, and I believe there will be a time when they return to their golden era, albeit with a completely different style and image.
- Football, like any other aspect of life, is cyclical, and teams must adapt to changes, both in terms of personnel and play style. Barcelona's journey might be in a transitional phase now, but history suggests that they will find their way back to the pinnacle, albeit with a refreshed identity.
- Given the current limited resources, I believe Xavi is doing a pretty good job leading Barca. Their squad lacks many stars to anchor the playing style as before, but a few young talents, like Lamine Yamal, are promising seeds for their future. When the tough economic times pass, I'm confident that Barca will make a strong comeback.
- The club's history suggests resilience, and with a blend of experienced players and emerging talents, they can rebuild their strength. Xavi's leadership, coupled with strategic investments and nurturing young talents, sets the foundation for a brighter future. It's not an overnight process, especially considering the financial constraints, but there's potential for Barca to return to prominence.

They shouldn't be too heavy on themselves, to be fair everyone has bad years, and that could happen. The idea is simple, Brighton is having a wonderful year right? They are doing great, and they did quite great last year as well, so they are on the rise, and Ajax on the other hand is doing terrible, right? They are not doing all that great and their results are unsatisfactory.

So the question is simple, in five years, do you see Ajax being better than Brighton? I can see that for sure, and that is the important part. Consistency is the key in sports, and a team that is consistently good, could always have bad years, and a team that rarely ever does good, could end up having a blast season. We will see Brighton get worse, and Ajax get better.
