261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 01, 2024, 09:45:22 AM
The odds changed a lot after the results of Liverpool, ManCity and Arsenal. Previously ManCity was on top before with 2.2 if I remember it correctly and now they are on 2nd position with odds 3, Liverpool take the favorite position with odds 2.25 while Arsenal on the 3rd with odds 3.75.

Looking at the fixtures of these 3 top teams in EPL, ManCity seems to be the one with easiest remaining matches while the other two seems to be having harder remaining matches. Who will lift the trophy is still unpredictable because these 3 teams has equal chance imho.
It's true that we can't be sure who will emerge as champions this season, because they still have several matches that we don't know how they will end. But now Liverpool has the upper hand after a draw was received by Manchester City and Arsenal in the match they played, it put them back in the lead by 2 points and it also changed their chances of becoming champions this season.
Anything can still happen, and we can't be sure who will really become champion. What is clear is that I am very happy when I see very tight competition like this and I hope this happens until the last match in the Premier League this season.

Quote from: MK-74
The draw between M.City and Arsenal gave Liverpool the lead.
Liverpool fell behind 1-0 and won with goals from Luis Diaz and Salah.
The excitement continues in the Premier League, there are only 3 points between the top three teams. Every game and every point is very important for Liverpool, Arsenal and M.City, the loser of points may miss the Championship.

The match between Manchester city and Arsenal  was a tough match, that made the both teams to used all their tactics to score goals but there was no such opportunity for both teams that made the match to ended up draw 0-0. Despite the match ended up draw 0-0, Manchester city still displayed some things that made people to believe that Manchester city will still be among the teams that will win this title, because in ball possession Manchester city lead through out the match and Arsenal really feel the strongest of Manchester city in this period. It was a great performance for Liverpool to defeated their opponent 2-1 to embraced the three points to remain in the first position but any small mistakes in their next matches will make Arsenal and Manchester city to take over the position from Liverpool, because they are using little points to gap Arsenal and Manchester city.
We cannot deny that the match between Manchester City and Arsenal was very tight, they both implemented something solid in their game so that they could not penetrate each other. Manchester City even though they controlled the game, they couldn't do much when faced with Arsenal's very tight defense, they couldn't send passes like they usually do because once again Arsenal's defense was very tight. This result is not surprising at all, because even though at the start Manchester City appeared as favorites, the opportunity for a draw was also very big and it happened.

I've met someone in the place I used to work. The dude is talented, dedicated, sincere and hardworking. The company knows his worth in the sense that whenever he tenders his resignation, they'd pet him and add a little peanut on his salary. He has done this about three times and they keep holding him down with a little salary increment. He was my superior and we were kind of close. I've advised him more than once to leave and start something up for himself but it seems like he's contented with what he's been offered, but the truth is he's worth more.
That's one cool story bro. The guy seems wise and he is like faking his resignation there because he knows that the company won't let him and in order for him to be convinced more, they are adding a little on his salary.

If you think his worth is still more than what is currently being offered to him, maybe you can instead advice him to fake his resignation again? Lol and let see if the company will still feed him with more salary increments or he can just say upfront that he likes this xxx.... amount. That should make things easier for both parties. I think others can get an idea with it and they they might copy it as well. It only shows that a company is also scared to be left behind by their workers, which is an interesting find.
The company will also definitely realize the good things about its employees, they will retain employees who have talent and work with high dedication, they will not just let their employees go, this was proven when he submitted an open resignation, the company was even willing to give him a salary increase.
Someone who has talent and high dedication to work, they will also be appreciated in the company, especially if they have new ideas for the company, they will definitely get a place and maybe it will even make it easier for them to get a good position.
Of course, companies will be afraid of their workers being abandoned if their workers have the abilities the company wants, because it is very difficult to find someone like that.
263  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 31, 2024, 07:47:52 PM
Taking out a loan is not a bad thing, as long as it is noted that the debt can be managed well. And whether you believe it or not, the richer a person is, the greater the debt they have, but strangely the debt they have makes the person even richer. This can happen because they are able to manage the debt they have well, where they use the loan for investment purposes or as an injection of funds for the business they are managing, they really do everything carefully, with careful calculations and analysis. In other words, they take loans so they don't lose the opportunity to get bigger profits. This is different from the majority of people whose financial level is middle to lower, where they usually take out loans just to meet their daily needs or simply to meet their prestige. This is a bad behavior that ultimately results in them being caught and in debt, because apart from being unable to manage their finances and the debt they have well, they also often take out loans for no apparent reason.
You are right, someone who is already rich will take out a loan because they want to develop the business they have, and they do this with really mature calculations, so it is not surprising when they dare to take risks by taking out large loans because they have already calculated their profit ratio. and the amount of debt that must be paid. Even if we see that they have total wealth, half of which is in the form of debt.
That doesn't apply to people from a lower middle class economy, as you said, they take out loans to make ends meet, so the loans they make cannot make a profit. This is clearly not healthy, especially if you take out a loan just because of the prestige of buying luxury goods, they are creating problems for themselves in the future.

I don't think Bayern Munich's defeat against Dortmund in the Bundesliga can be used as a reference for the match against Dortmund because of the different motivations between the two teams.
While the match against Arsenal will be different, Bayern Munich has the possibility of being slightly better than what happened in the previous season in the meeting between the two and in terms of quality these two teams have almost equal strength so indeed the Bayern Munich vs Arsenal quarter-final match will be quite fierce and very interesting.
Indeed, that cannot be used as a reference, but at least we can see how Bayern Muncih was defeated in that match, even when they acted as hosts and were the team that was the favorite to win this match. With this result, Arsenal seemed to get a breath of fresh air over what was achieved by Bayern Munich. Indeed, this match is different, but Arsenal also definitely realizes what they have to do so that they can do the same thing as Borussia Dortmund.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich must immediately forget about this defeat, because if they don't forget it quickly then maybe it will affect their mentality. You also need to remember that this is the Champions League and mentality is really needed when in this competition.

RB Leipzig couldn't keep up with what they are good at doing by having a 0.....0 draw against darmstad,

Bayern Munich and Dortmund I was expecting a more serious match that possibly end a draw match but Dortmund took the lead and the ended 0....2.
Maybe you mean Mainz.
I think this will be an easy match for Leipzig because their opponents are in an unsafe zone at the bottom of the standings. But it turns out I was wrong because Leipzig couldn't beat Mainz. I think they were just unlucky in this match, because if you look at the opportunities they created, there were so many opportunities they could have created, but unfortunately none of the opportunities they created could become a goal. The match statistics say they are far superior to Mainz, so that makes me say they are just unlucky in this match.

At home, now the difference in points between Munich and Bayer Leverkusen is getting bigger, namely thirteen points. Munich is even further behind.

Even this is bad, Tuchel does not seem to master the spirit of his players. They made a bad record losing to Dortmund at home.  10 years they always won at the Alianz Arena but not today. Tuchel is thoughtless and has a burden apparently because he will definitely leave at the end of the season. Munich in a bad situation does not have a strong intention to win and fight. In fact, I think Munich could have dropped to number 3 because of the 1-point difference if Stuttgart had won today.
Bayern Munich cannot improve their performance, while other teams can improve their performance, so it makes it difficult for them to compete this season. Losing in this match made them worse mentally because they had to accept defeat even when playing at home.
Actually, Thomas Thucel is not bad, but he is also not that good at improving Bayern Munich's performance, now in his hands Bayern Munich is threatened with losing the title they have controlled for more than a decade. This season is an unfriendly season for Bayern Munich it seems.

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.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 30, 2024, 07:49:11 PM
So Inter is very sure to win the Serie A Cup again. They will replace Napoli as the trophy holders last season.
Yeah they will, i know Inter Milan would be very disappointed to have been eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the champions league round of 16, but the Seria A title is in their hands and it will make up for the disappointment they experienced in the champions league. Inter are on top of the Seria A with a 14 point advantage, they have been excellent and when they win it this season, it will be their second league title in the last 4 seasons, which is great.
There is no reason for Inter Milan to fail this season, they are ahead and without any pressure from other teams, so they should be able to lock up the title early. They must have felt disappointment when they were eliminated from the Champions League, but that can still be overcome by at least winning the Scudetto title this season.
Their competitors are too far away to catch up, so they shouldn't fail this season. The trophy was right before their eyes. They only need a few more wins to ensure the Scudetto title this season.

Napoli will soon lose every UEFA competitions spots and might risk not playing any international game next year by the end of the season. Their results aren't satisfying, only two points out of 9 in the last three matches and things don't seem to be promising when we find them taking 3 goals from Atalanta without scoring any.

Later today, we will see if Juventus will be as unlucky as Napoli or they will recover. Milan game isn't that easy too against Fiorentina. I expect Milan to win and Juventus to draw.
Napoli situation is bad and they can lose their position to Fiorentina or Lazio but the league is on going and Napoli can complete this season with a spot to Conference League. It is not what they ambitiously aimed at when the season started months ago but now they can not hope for a higher position than that.

At least AC Milan can help Napoli this week but there will be more weeks and matches so Napoli must fight by themselves and can not rely other clubs in Serie A to beat Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio for Napoli benefit.
Their defeat against Atalanta meant they had to stay away from the competition for a ticket to go to the European zone next season. with what they are currently experiencing, this is clearly something they did not expect. Imagine when they managed to become champions last season and we hoped they would be able to enliven the competition at the top again, but they failed to do so.
This was a turning point where they had to experience a lot of failures and not only that, they also experienced a lot of problems this season. That made it difficult for them to compete closely last season. Maybe they will really miss out on a place in European competition next season.

Well listen you are not alone on this thought because it's almost everyone that feels this particular feeling when it comes to risking a big amount once on the game you feel will come through. Sometimes it's all frustration of thinking that you have kinda wasted a lot time playing and then you decide to risk it but at that instance sometime the gambler tend to be extra careful and even that extra carefulness makes you play the wrong game or option.
The space favors the gamblers that are smart enough. Don't messed with the wrong odds because there are repercussions for some gambling actions. Carefulness should tended to, never back out from the process because we must ensure we're on the right path that will lead to winning. Risking everything and at the end of the day, loses are certain. We should always try our possible best to ensure we're grabbing significant profits. I know it's never an easy job but doing the necessary actions should be observed.
This is the same as chasing defeat, because in my opinion this is the result of emotions because of the defeats that we always get, and that makes our emotions unstable and in the end we will do something that is beyond our control, such as placing bigger bets because we hope We can return our previous losses, but in reality this is the wrong step we took.
We all know here and have even agreed that when we lose, we just lose. Don't ever think that in the next game we will win. I mean when we have used up our allocation for gambling at that time, then we should stop and come back another time.
We don't know when we will win and don't let that be an excuse to chase victory because that will make us lose more.

e]We are not perfect, so even when you know what it is the right thing to do, you will find it very difficult to actually implement those actions when the market is moving against your current position.

However what allows successful traders to become that way is that they can recognize when they are making a mistake and they can correct it before their losses accumulate to dangerous levels, so they only need a trade or two to recover from their mistake, while a newbie trader will fail to realize what is happening, and once they do, the damage they have suffered is so high that it does not matter anymore what they do to correct this situation.
This is the difference between traders who already have experience and beginner traders. Professional traders will usually act quickly when they realize they have made a mistake in their analysis, so they can cut their losses. Meanwhile, for beginners they might tend to wait for a price reversal and that doesn't happen.
So what you can do is apply a stop loss in the trades you make. In my opinion, this is one of the best things that beginners can do so that they can avoid more losses or burning their money.
As you said, experienced traders will recover quickly, because mentally they already have a very good mentality. This is different from beginners who still have panic, and it takes time to even just look at the market, because losing might disturb their mentality.
270  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 29, 2024, 03:17:18 PM
saving plain cash, I don't know of any way one can be rich by doing that. Especially in countries that have their currency depreciating day by day. for example; Nigeria, this country's currency is depreciating day by day significantly, making things worse and harder for the citizens. And when it comes to appreciation it appreciate with just negligible figure.
some one in this country that is having a naira saved, is he losing or gaining?
so like you said, saving a plain cash can not make some one to become rich.
No gets rich by saving plain cash because that devalues over time because of the inflation and so the purchasing power becomes lower. While the rich keeps on investing because they want their wealth to retain itself and grow more. The investors that are starting out, they need to follow the path of what the rich did. They've been patient with their journeys and that's why looking up to them is normal for someone who's optimistic with their future and growing their wealth through their own ways. So, someone who saves his money is going to lose the value in fiat because that's known to most and each country.
Of course, saving cannot make people rich, especially if they save with fiat money which will definitely decrease every time. But at least saving can make us prepare for something in the future, because it is very possible that we will suddenly need money, so by saving we can use that money.
I think this goes back to the initial intention of someone who saves, I myself save not to make me rich, but to make me ready for something I said before. Even investing, I don't intend to become rich, but I want a better future to hold onto. I have prepared it in such a way that I hope it will help me in the future. To become rich is not that easy, we need to put in more effort and work and it requires a very long process.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 29, 2024, 02:59:09 PM
I think PSG can maintain a title series in the Ligue 1 even after Mbappe leaves. Because they will still have a much stronger squad than the other teams. Mbappe has had a huge role in the success of this team so far. But when he leaves they should learn to stay strong as a team as well.

Mbappe's place would surely be filled with another player but it is really hard to predict who it would be.  Huh  Osimhen is the most speculated player for now. His play style isn't similar to Mbappe but he can contribute really highly with his scoring skills.

Yeah of course, though we no that mbappe has been of a great help to PSG in so many ways but even if he leaves the club PSG will still have a good opportunity of wining this league because currently there is no much club that has the kind of performance or quality players PSG has so for now PSG is the best candidate for the league even on the next season but however the only way the leaving of mbappe will affect PSG is mostly on there external leagues because they will meet a lot of competitors and they will need all the good players as they can get in other to remain competitive but although like I already mentioned PSG will have a back up plan since they no that mbappe will be leaving after he finishes his contract
Compared to other teams in Ligue 1, the quality of players that Paris Saint Germain has is above the average of other teams, so even if Mbappe were to leave Paris Saint Germain, they would still be able to defend their title and still be able to dominate the league.
I don't know for sure who Paris Saint Germain will appoint to replace Mbappe, but there are several names of quality players who have also emerged and are rumored to be their targets in the transfer market next season. That is a very natural thing, because they can bring in players who are even very expensive, because their financial capabilities are very good.
But for sure we have to wait for the next season because they will finish this season first.

Sevilla are not doing well at all this season and it looks like they will at least stay in the league.Sevilla are in a good position among the teams in the relegation zone and they have a 6 point gap with Cadiz.Unfortunately, this does not change the fact that there is still a risk.Getafe, on the other hand, will want to get into the top 7 and therefore at least qualify for the European Cups.It is difficult to predict who will win in this important match for both teams.Of course, Getafe are one step ahead as hosts but the winner will get important 3 points. It's hard to predict who will win in a match of great importance for both teams.We can say that both teams need a win and the winner will get important 3 points.Of course, Getafe is one step ahead as the hosts, but it should not go without saying that Sevilla has won in critical encounters.
This season Sevilla is not as good as the previous season and even now they are still not completely safe and are still threatened with the relegation zone even though in terms of points they are 6 points away from the last team in the relegation zone. On the other hand, Getafe, although they are not that good, if we compare them with Sevilla then they can still be better. They also have an advantage because they will play as hosts in this match.
Yes, it is true that Getafe is ahead of Sevilla, but that doesn't mean Sevilla will lose easily, they also definitely come with a mission to win in this match. The reason is that every defeat allows them to get closer to the relegation zone, something they will definitely avoid.
273  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who can you trust more to handle your business, man or woman? on: March 28, 2024, 08:28:26 PM
In terms of business matters and for managerial work, I actually prefer to choose on the individual's skills, not on gender. But I understand that in some places or countries, gender conditions can affect individual performance.

In my country I prefer men for work. Why not to choose a woman? If you choose a woman, there will be a decrease in performance when her emotional unstable, pregnant, high stress levels, sometimes the decisions made by women are influenced by those closest to them/their family.
It's true, gender shouldn't be a separator because in a business what is prioritized in my opinion should be skill, responsibility, professionalism and so on. If someone is a woman but they have the criteria to be able to manage a business, will we miss them? I think it would be a shame if we just missed it just because we look at gender.
However, in some communities or even countries, men are given priority. Maybe they have reasons for doing that, one of which is as you said. Apart from that, it is possible that men's time effectiveness is more flexible than that of women.
However, if I could decide, I would not look at gender differences, but would look more at the skills and responsibilities they have.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 28, 2024, 07:56:20 PM
The defensive line problems have actually been going on since the start of the season. As at the beginning of Onana's arrival, there was a lot of controversy, and when Onana got better, the back line got worse. And then Maguire improved and made Man United's defense stronger but the other back line players started making lots of mistakes. All problems continue to revolve around the back line at the club. So in the upcoming player transfer market, I hope this club will bring in better defenders.

And in the match against Liverpool, the Man United squad could not create gaps in the back line. Because if there are lots of gaps in the back line, Liverpool's attacking players will feast on goals in that match. Hopefully the position as host can be utilized by the Man United squad and Ten Hag.
Manchester United had problem with defensive and its not totally mistake from Andre Onan but inconsistency performance from defender and holding midfielder made easily every match conceded many goals and difficult for making clean sheet. Its crucial for Manchester United at the last games week has the same points with other team has many difference goals automatically United will drop their position standings exactly for raising top fourth position place.
Manchester United's goal difference until playing 28 matches is zero, its tragic for the top teams not only how easily conceded many goals every matches but also has problem with attacking line not productivities yet by scoring 39 goals of 28 matches.
It's nothing new to see Manchester United's back line not playing according to expectations, every season they always experience problems at the back, whether it's the goalkeeper who makes a lot of mistakes or the defenders who make a lot of mistakes. They have not been able to solve this problem completely because even if they improve in the match, then in the next match they will show inconsistency regarding the performance of their back line.
It is a coach's job to solve this problem and Erik Ten Hag has not been able to make the performance of his team more trustworthy. They have to improve and carry out a lot of evaluations to improve all this and they can do this by bringing in new players, for example.
275  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do many people fail in trade? on: March 28, 2024, 03:29:43 PM
Absolutely, mindset is key in trading. Jumping in without understanding the market or having a plan is like sailing without a map – risky and likely to end in loss. It's not just about being in the market all the time; it's about smart timing and informed decisions. Think of time outside the market as a chance to learn and strategize, not just lost profit. Patience and education are your best tools, not just the rush to make quick money. It's all about trading wisely, not just frequently.
Bro, as simple as your post is, you covered a lot with it and truly if traders can follow your advice, it will be well with them. However, permit me to break the main reasons why traders fail in trading into parts, which are;

1. The lack of knowledge or proper knowledge.
2. Poor/improper training on what the trader knows to achieve a trading system.
3. Lack of proper money and risk management.
4. Lack of coordination of what the trader knows and trains about to form a viable plan with them. And finally,
5. Poor trading psychology.

In my long years of trading experience and teaching/tutoring, I discovered that the main problems of traders dangle between 3, 4 & 5, especially the 5th one. If traders can take care of the three and are disciplined/determined towards them, I am certain that success is closer for such traders.

The points you came up with do happen and they are based on my experience and I am sure there are many people who also have the same experience or at least see mistakes that make their trades end in losses.
If we can implement something that we should do, then it will prevent us from excessive losses. Trading will always have 2 sides, the first is profit and the second is loss. We can't just keep making profits, we will definitely experience losses. However, what is different is that when we can understand the knowledge in trading, we will be better able to avoid the risk of loss.
This very often happens to those who think that trading is a quick way to make money, and they actually feel the opposite.

It seems like the possibility of Luis Diaz to leave is getting stronger this summer. If they lose him and Salah both at the same time this would really be a big hit to Liverpool side.  Sad

Especially Klopp's decision to leave can play an important role in Salah's decision in my opinion. I remember something like Klopp said that he believed Salah would stay longer. Maybe he would wait to see their next manager choice and then decide what to do. He doesn't need to be in a hurry as the summer break is going to be quite long. In case of his departure Liverpool had better do their research properly because it isn't easy to fill the place of a player like Salah.
It makes sense that players will see how the situation is first before they decide whether to stay or not. Because Jurgen Klopp also had a big role in keeping Mohamed Salah at Liverpool, so if Jurgen Klopp stops managing Liverpool then it opens up the opportunity for Mohamed Salah to also follow in his footsteps.
Jurgen Klopp himself also cannot guarantee that no player will leave, because all decisions are in the hands of the players themselves, so things like this are not easy for anyone. You are right that it will not be easy to find a suitable replacement to replace Mohamed Salah, because this player has a style of play that is already integrated with Liverpool's current style of play.

Today in the news they write that Kane has returned to training in the general group, and this means that he will be ready to play for the game with Dortmund. Apparently the doctors of Bayern FC quickly dealt with the damage he received (and it turned out to be not serious).
If he had dropped out for the Champions League games, it could have been a disaster for Bayern. Even with him, they were not the favorites in this pair, and without him they would have literally no trump card.
That is great news. Kane is a pure striker and it seems that Munich does not have another striker with Kane's qualities. It's true as you say that Munich really needs Kane to make a difference. This is the same as PSG with Mbappe. Munich is not the favorite to win the UCL this season because of their performance in the Bundesliga. But of course Munich has a target to win every UCL match and be able to advance to the final. I think Munich will win the match. Dortmund have performed well in the last few games in the League but I think they have a bad history when facing Munich.
Certainly this is good news for Bayern Munich before they undertake a difficult match, the good news is that the players are seen returning to training. It is hoped that Harry Kane can be used in this difficult match, because after all he is a striker that Bayern Munich can rely on to help them achieve victory. Harry Kane can be the difference on the field when competing in big matches like that. Their next opponent is an opponent that cannot be underestimated, especially in the Champions League. In terms of meeting record, Bayern Munich is indeed superior to Arsenal, but that is not a guarantee that the same thing will happen, especially since Arsenal has also shown good improvement.

I agree with you because the two favorite clubs to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season are playing against each other in the quarterfinals. Any club that advances to the semi-final between Real Madrid and Manchester City will win this season's UEFA Champions League trophy.
If I had to speak based on statistical data then of course these two clubs, namely Man City and Real Madrid, are two clubs that should deserve to meet in the UCL final. But unfortunately they were unlucky because they had to meet earlier and one of them had to leave UCL in the quarter-finals. Maybe it is true that whichever club wins this match has the potential to win the UCL title this season. But that is if everything can happen based on currently available data, such as data on the performance of these two clubs compared to other teams. It's just that of course we're all used to it, right? Seeing the UCL which is full of surprises and even ordinary teams that don't get much attention can make us surprised because they could be lucky and actually go on to the final and win. So in the final quarter we still see everything unclear. Maybe in the semi-finals we will be able to start predicting which one will succeed as champion in the UCL this season.
Whoever wins this match will be the favorite to become champion this season, because the two teams that will meet in the quarter-finals are strong teams and they are indeed the 2 favorite teams in the Champions League this season. But as you said, it could be that things don't go as expected, for example they have to fall one by one before the final match, although that is something that is difficult for us to see.
Yes, we regret that they met earlier in this round, but what we expected could not match what happened because the draw results said something different from what we previously expected. Even so, I hope that whoever is in the final round will be able to show something extraordinary that will make the match very interesting for us to see.

It is actually quite normal to doubt Leverkusen after seeing the way they performed against Qarabag. Yeah maybe they eliminated their opponent anyway but it was very difficult for them you know. Maybe they underestimated Qarabag and this caused them to have this much difficulty. I hope so otherwise their job against West Ham will be extra difficult in this phase.  Sad

We will see how dedicated they are by the first leg. I really want to see Leverkusen in the finale playing against Liverpool honestly. It is like the best kind of a finale for a season like this.  Smiley  It would be the nearest kind of a finale to a Champions League finale I assume.
Qarabag has become the biggest challenge for Leverkusen in the European league this season. They can really make things difficult for Leverkusen. It was a tough match. But I'm sure Leverkusen will be able to beat West Ham in the quarter-finals. What I admire about Leverkusen is their extraordinary winning mentality. They were able to beat Qarabag 3-2 in the second leg after losing 0-2 until the 72nd minute. They really have a good winning mentality. It ended dramatically after Leverkusen scored 2 goals in the 90+ minute. But I'm sure they will perform better when they play against West Ham in the quarter-finals.
They will also definitely learn from their mistakes as to why they had difficulties when they were in the last 16 when they faced Qarabag. I am sure that Xabi is a coach who has good observations of their potential opponents this time. Xabi will also evaluate their weaknesses that their opponents can still exploit.
West Ham is an English league team that we know has a fast and aggressive style of play, Xabi must be able to minimize this by not giving West Ham the opportunity to develop their game. If this is done successfully by the Leverkusen players, I think they will be able to win both legs at once. However, this is just an analysis, of course it could be different when they play later.

Indeed, it will affect someone's emotions, but we should also realize that it will not change the situation but make it worse. When we face difficulties, following our emotions is not a good thing because if so we will not be able to think logically and it will not solve the problem. I will not blame people who are more emotionally controlled, because it is a difficult situation and everyone has different difficulties.

However, if we remain calm, then we will be able to think of a way out that we can do. Being calm will not solve problems instantly, but at least we can think clearly to find solutions to the problems we are facing.
This is interesting to talk about because indeed economic problems will affect a person's mentality in himself if he gets more pressure than his sense of responsibility, but in terms of emotional control I think this will return to himself, his life fundamentals, if I relate it to religious matters, people who have a much better religious soul will be much calmer under economic pressure because he has the mindset that what he will have and has been destined by his god.
 
But things are different with people who are not that deep in the fundamentals of their lives will have emotions that fluctuate depending on the problems they face, this can result in someone taking the wrong path in fulfilling their desires, there are even some who commit crimes to get money because they have the mind that they have no other way but that way, if seen broadly again this can be influenced by the environment and also their previous education.
I agree with what you said, maybe you could say this is a spiritual thing that a person has, if their spirituality is very good, then maybe they will be able to better control something that can control them, in this case mental pressure when someone experiences economic problems. That's also what I see from my environment which is still very strong in their spirituality or belief in their god. Usually they believe that the problems they face will not come unless they are able to overcome them.

Family will also have a big influence on a person's actions or behavior. If they have a harmonious family and can provide support when they experience problems, they will usually be calmer. However, if they have a family that is not very harmonious then it is possible that they will be controlled by emotions.
