Yeah today we would get to watch two Serie A underdogs (Frosinone vs Salernitana) fighting for who will run away from relegation. As a football lover and Serie A fan i wont be watching the game because its not gonna be much of an interesting to game. I do not enjoy watching two teams fighting for losing instead it should be a fight for winning the league. However, i am still including them in bet list. I would be playing Frosinone to win the match since they are the ones at home. At least for their least performance they might not win so i added a combo win or draw. I cant let this game by any means to make me lose my bet slip today.

Truly Salerntana is going to Serie B. Nothing can be done this is because even if they win all the remaining 5 matches nothing can still be done to take them out of relegation. The probability of Frosinone surviving relegation is certain if they can win today and also win their next match. Because they have the same points of 28 with Udinese who is on top of them.
In the Serie A we've seen some teams do better and some teams suffering as a result of setbacks from the players, the managerial body or the team in general. For Salernitana, they really do not stand a solid chance against teams in the league, although they have a bit of potential scoring abilities but that's not enough to place them at rightful spots this season as they'd have done better. This weekend, there'll be a relegation battle in the league and a survivor has to be determined. The outcome of the game really matters to both teams.

 Frosinone will go up against Salernitana and truly it'll be a tough match. The both teams have standing records of giving top serie A team tough times even though they're not just enough to grant them the victory they seek. Now it's like they both have thesame range of pitch strength and ability and if to be judged, they both have to be given equal probable chances of victory.
 
 Salernitana have Lazio and Juventus tough times, putting Napoli and Roma too in tight spots thesame way Frosinone did but here they are facing themselves to decide who scales successfully out of the relegation zone and who remains there. The a little it advantaged team would be the host considering the fans impact and it's effect on the visitors too. Yes we'll all want to see who exactly will scale through but we should know that it'll be a tough ride as both teams are capable of thesame level of game performances.

I don’t think there is anything left for Bayern Munich to fight for since there is no hope of winning the title. The 2nd place and 3rd place have no difference to mesincee they are both not winning the league and they will both participate in the Champions League and there is no any special achievement for any team for 2nd place or 3rd place. Actually it will look bad seeing Bayern Munich end at 3rd position so fighting for to maintain their position is not a bad idea. They have been performing poorly and i think it is down to Tuchel who have mis managed the team else they would have won at least a trophy this season.

The game between Bayern Leverkusen and Stuttgart will be an interesting one because both teams are not playing bad and if Stuttgart wins they will stand a chance to occupy the second place again.

The Bundesliga trophy tussle as of now is no longer on between Leverkusen and Munich and beyond every doubt, it has been proven that it was meant to rest in Leverkusen's cubicle. They've being consistent this season, and all games played in all competitions, they've incurred just 5 draws. This is one record that Munich has failed to achieve this season as there's been couple of game week loopholes and losses and this has cost them their attaining the toppest spot on the league table.

 The remaining games in the league are very much rosy for Leverkusen considering the first leg performances and results and also judging based on their approach to games. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's not surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest.

 Leverkusen's confidence has risen beyond the highest mark, they've got the Bundesliga already, they're prospects to the UEL and also the DFB Pokal, I sure do believe that they can make a lasting history this season. 3 trophies won't do them any harm either. They obviously stand a greater chance to the teams they'll be up against and Stuttgart themselves would only have to try to suppress them out of their misery. The first leg encounter had Leverkusen being tied to a draw as a result of the much impact Stuttgart made in the game which also caused them to battle in a second leg clash. Really, I would love to see how the game would turn out. For me, both teams are best and it's safe to say, let the best team win.

It is true that the impact of the entry of the world's top player, namely Cristiano Ronaldo, has really helped and brought about the development of football in Saudi Arabia, especially so that the event in Saudi Arabia can develop more advanced and wide, with many spectators following and watching the Saudi Pro League matches live this season.
I'm sure that before the arrival of this world famous player, the football event in Saudi Arabia was not much liked and watched by all football fans, but after the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, the football event in Saudi Arabia, in my opinion, is currently being followed by many fans, so the country also benefited from the transfer of this famous European player.

Moreover, after the entry of the best European player, Cristiano Ronaldo also brought his fellow players from Europe who are no less famous and the best, one of whom is Neymar, yes they both support clubs in Saudi Arabia but both are different in supporting their respective clubs which have been successful. contract him.
Namely, Cristiano Ronaldo supports the Al Nassr club while Neymar supports the Al Hilal club and they are competing in the Saudi league with each other's strengths and abilities so that the club they support can later become champions in Saudi Arabia this season.
We know that currently the Al Hilal club and the Al Nassr club are in between first and second and second and second positions. The difference in points between the two clubs is quite large so I don't think Al Nassr can beat Al Hilal for sure.
And this is a threat for Cristiano Ronaldo and happiness for the player Neymar.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a hige effect anywhere he finds himself both on and off the pitch and he’s the most influential in the world. As such I think his arrival in SPL not only helped the team where he was signed but also the league in general as it now puts the league on the spotlight of the media.

 ⁠I think this was the main reason why they considered bringing in Ronaldo despite his age and they offered him a mouth watering contract. Well the league is benefiting majorly from his move to Saudi and for that you can see many European players really want to make a move to any Saudi club at least to participate with Ronaldo too.

 ⁠Neymar too was another big move for the league and luckily he joined Al-Hilal which are the most favorites to win the league Their major contender being Al-Nassr though Al-Nassr and Ronaldo stands no chance as Al-Hilal are looking better placed on the league.

 I think the Saudis know how to do business and I’m sure expecting another big European player joining the league this summer as this kind of moves helps to keep the league media presence active and as such generate more money for the clubs and the government at large. I think while doing this, they should also not forget on growing the local players as that will help generate more funds too and help the nation in National Competitions.

PSG will soon win back-to-back Ligue 1 titles this season if they manage to beat Le Havre next week, PSG this season does look more solid and I think the teamwork that Enrique always emphasizes in every game is one of the factors in their success this season in achieving every victory in Ligue 1 and also the Champions League,  Dembele's performances so far have been quite good and can even provide additional strength in PSG's front line after being abandoned by Neymar and Messi so far, the duo between Mbappe and Dembele is quite successful and complements each other in every game so that indeed losing Mbappe next season will be a major problem for PSG next season.

Mbappe will reportedly leave PSG soon and of course that will leave a big hole in their attack, but even so, I think PSG will have no difficulty finding a replacement for Mbappe next season because indeed with the financial strength they have of course it is difficult for a player like Osimhen to refuse to be recruited by PSG as a replacement for Mbappe next season.
  Luis Enrique coming to PSG has been more of a blessing for the club as he’s been able to improve the teamwork in the team and not make it a one man show anymore. Now we’re seeing huge partnership of Dembele and Mbappe even though they have just spent one season together yet they play like they’ve been together for more than that.
 
 The partnership of these two keep waxing strong and I think this is the main factor in the success of this PSG team this season. Well unluckily they might not be able to play for so much again as Mbappe will be set to leave to Spain by summer and as such, you can expect a big void in that attack of PSG.

 The club will need to find a replacement and do that quick because not many players will be able by summer and the club has the funds so they should strategize and immediately go after the player they want. They can get any player they want because they have the financial power and they will also be participating in the ucl next season.

 ⁠I don’t think getting a replacement will be the main issue as Enrique is a good tactician and he knows whom he wants and how best to use the player, so he should state his choice. I’m very confident on Luis being able to manage this team with this right tactics and I have high hopes that’s it’s a dawn of new things for the club.

Kai Havertz is a good player, but I also think that the price that Chelsea and Arsenal paid for this player is quite high. When he was playing at Chelsea, he did not have stable performance, but there were times  he scored decisive goals for Chelsea,one of them was helping Chelsea win the Champion League. Havertz's contribution to Chelsea is not small, so Arsenal noticed and bought this player even though there are always dozens of questions about Havertz's true form and class.

Kai Havertz has weaknesses such as his tendency to lose form for a long time and difficulty returning to form within 1-2 weeks. This is a big challenge for Arteta and Arsenal because they need a strong squad every week to compete fairly with Mancity. However, Kai Havertz has the ability to read tactics well, be creative, and be flexible on the field, and the fact that he can play in many positions could help Arteta have a quality complement to the injured positions.

Kai Havertz is still playing virtual number 9 position at Arsenal, but if Havertz plays in his right position is Second Striker, he will have Saka and Martinelli on the wings to support the attack, along with the flexibility of Jesus above can make Arsenal's playing style more variable and unpredictable.

Havertz wasn’t a player that had stable form even when Chelsea signed his from Bundesliga, he was just a player liked by then Chelsea’s coach Thomas Tuchel and as such he was brought to London. Though his form wasn’t stable you never can take away the fact that he was a player that had always helped Chelsea when it mattered most.

 ⁠Arsenal saw this trait and they went on to acquire him, besides he was one player loved by Mikel Arteta and as such the club went all out for him. So it’s understandable the questions that surround the huge fee he was signed for as regards to his match performance of it is really worth that amount.

 ⁠ I think at Arsneal they have been able to note his weakness and then pair him with players who can help hom be able to get those goals. This has in turn be able to help him build up confidence and he was even able to get a brace against Chelsea and now having about 11 goals this season.

 Havertz is a versatile player and as such, I think he can be able to play in any position he’s chosen to play and I think Arsenal is really one team that’s meant for his style. Havertz at Arsenal is way better than he was at Chelsea and I think his performance level has increased and as such, he’s been able to show us reason why he was signed at that price.

The opponents that Manchester City will face almost all tend to be easy which is clearly an advantage for them because seeing from their remaining matches only Tottenham and West Ham seem to be a little troublesome because of their performance the rest will be an easy match for them.

By looking at the current situation, Arsenal will clearly have more difficulty maintaining their performance because no matter how hard they get points in all matches but if in the end Manchester City can win 3 points in all matches then indeed it has become a victory again for the trophy race because of their point difference.

So that at this time Arsenal only need to hope that there are several clubs that can hold Manchester City so that they do not become champions again for the 3rd time in a row.

Manchester City thrashed Brighton at the Amex stadium to head back to 2nd place amd they’re just a point and a match away from getting back to the top spot. Well you can begin to see Man City as the league winners because they show resilience each time they already get to that top spot and I think this season isn’t an exemption.

 The way they trashed Brighton, you can only wonder how many the other 6 teams they have left to play will be getting when they face Man City. I think Man City most difficult game will be Tottenham and that could not even be real difficult because Arsenal might drop points before then.

 ⁠Yes because Arsenal still have some tough fixtures with the likes of Tottenham, West Ham and Man United so you see Man City has the edge on winning the league. I think they’ll keep dominating till they finally win the league especially now they’re out of the UCL.

 ⁠They wouldn’t want to also miss the league, so I think it’s very safe to say it’s a 4th league title for them in a row because Arsenal will sure drop points before the final day. Manchester City are totally resilient and Pep is sound tactically and as such I don’t think they’ll be able to lose any more points till the final day.

Manchester City was the toughest challenge for Real Madrid this season, and they managed to get rid of it with great difficulty through a penalty shootout. When they can overcome Manchester City, they should also be able to overcome Bayern Munich, which in my opinion is still below Manchester City in appearance. However, the problem is not that simple, because Bayern Munich themselves will definitely play tooth and nail to ensure they can advance to the Champions League final this season.

It's not easy for Real Madrid even though they are the favorites, because this is the Champions League where anything is possible. What is clear now is that they must not underestimate their opponents, whoever they are against must make them more motivated to be able to do their best. They are the best club during the Champions League, a total of 14 trophies on their cupboard and they have the opportunity to increase their number of trophies this season.
The match between Real Madrid and Man City was seen as a heavy weight UCL match because both teams are similar in strength and they’re the most recent winners of the UCL. So you can say Real Madrid having defeated Man City have been able to give a resounding note that they should be considered the main contenders of the UCL this season.

 Man City really dominated the game but Real Madrid were able to contain them with their tock solid defense and goal keeper who was able to stop some sneaky shots. They took the match to penalty shootouts and were able to get the win and went to the semi finals.

 Now they are to face Bayern Munich who have a long history with Real Madrid but this season can’t be compared to Man City in any way and as such you’ll automatically see Real Madrid going through to the finals. Without Bayern Munich’s injury crisis they have been performing below average talk more of now they are hit with lots of injury woes in their main team.

 ⁠Real Madrid will be able to see off this Bayern Munich side though I think Bayern will be ready to give their all, the issue will be will their all be enough against this well shaped Real Madrid side who are on course to win the 15th UCL. Well this will be the main match of focus as we will love to see what Bayern has in stock for us, a sure prediction is Real Madrid to the finals.

The Saudi Pro League cannot just recruit top European players if their quota is full to fill European players in their squad. If I'm not mistaken the Saudi Pro League has a rule of only accepting 8 foreign players to be included in the list of regular players so even though the transfer market is open the League Saudi cannot increase its player quota if they do not drop one or two players so that they can be replaced by the top European players they will recruit, and this is a rule that must be obeyed by all clubs in Saudi. If they violate it, they may be subject to sanctions sanctions, it is likely that there will not be many foreign players entering the Saudi League at the end of the season because big clubs such as Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ahli seem to have filled their quotas.

Al Hilal has removed Neymar's name from the list of foreign players owned by Al Hilal, so it is very likely that Al Hilal will be able to recruit top European players, but I think it will only be temporary because if Al Hilal removed him permanently, wouldn't that be a loss for Al Hilal themselves who haven't experienced it Neymar's contribution to the club so I also don't know what Al Hilal will do next if Neymar has recovered from his injury, whether he wants to terminate his contract or whether he wants to continue his contract with the PSG star player.
In the Saudi Pro League, i think there was a rule against recruiting high number of European players except you drop some of the European players you have then you allowed to recruit. This rule is an embago placed on the number of European players a club can have in it full squad list.

 ⁠I think this rule is healthy and favorable to the league as it helps them be able to invest more on local players at the same time help the clubs be able to save up funds from high signing of European players. Now the issue is that the big clubs in the league might not want to follow through this rule to the latter and might be willing to use their cash to overlook on the sanctions.

 Al-Hilal who had Neymar in their squad but unluckily was hit with a long term injury, removed his name from the squad list so as to be able to sign an Europe player. Well I think this removal was a temporary one because you can see Neymar still celebrating twice with the clubs the time they’ve won trophies this season.

 Well, let’s see what the club has in stock for us as we approach the Summer Market, if they’ll reluctantly follow their minds and go ahead and sign European players and face sanctions or maybe they will do with Neymar. Luckily for them Neymar is now said to be recovering so I think a better option is to still stick with Neymar in the squad.

Xavi departure will have a bad impact on the coming season because we never know whether a coach who has intelligence like Xavi will manage the existing players well without being able to bring in quality players like other teams.
persisting to stay with Barcelona is also one of the bad things for the achievements that the coach will get because being with Barcelona for too long will certainly not give you more experience.
I can't imagine what Barcelona will be like in the coming season without Xavi and it will definitely look very bad and the fans will definitely be very worried.
Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done. Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves. I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come.

 It'll be very much important that Barcelona management tried their best to get a good replacement for Xavi and finding the best option for them would be a bit difficult. There are prospect options for them but they've got to be very careful in their choices. Considering Emery as a choice, he's got an improved record with Villa and normally, Villa and Barcelona's level can't be compared so it's safe to say that it'd be a bit different to manage Barcelona based on their range of players and level in football.

 Barcelona isn't a team to be taken as an experiment. They won't be able to bear loosing their value and pride just because of them trying to make use of a manager who's not really had very much experience in a big team. Although, EPL is competitive than the La Liga, so maybe there can be a little match in strategy.

Kylian Mbappe never stops scoring goals and in last night's match against Lorient he also contributed through the brace he scored. It feels like PSG's steps to immediately securing the Ligue One title are getting closer and they only need a few more matches to close the season with the title. Luis Enrique also does not save his players' energy and they will remain consistent if the chemistry on the field continues to be maintained.

This is very important for the next match and therefore Luis Enrique's decision not to rest several of his key players is very correct. On the other hand. Lorient, who suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat, also have to be patient considering they are still stuck in the relegation zone and they have to fight to get points in the remaining matches. Of course they want to start a new journey next season and this season I don't expect Lorient to experience a continuous drastic decline.
The work or the job Kylian does in this PSG team can’t be overlooked as he keeps banging in the goals for the team and he doesn’t seem tired anytime soon. Well it’s a  pity the club will be losing a player like him and you then begin to wonder how the club’s attack line will now be shaped without Kylian in it. ⁠Enrique is a real tactical genius and when many expected him to rest his players against Lorient he rather brings them in to help them build more chemistry before the UCL match against Dortmund.

 This has also helped him get a step very close to being crowned champions as I think they’re just one win away from being crowned Champions. This is a step in the right direction by Enrique and I’m very confident that with his tactics, he can be able to take PSG very far in the league and the UCL as well. For Lorient this defeat is a big one as they still remain lurking around in the relegation zone.
 
 Well this means more work for them in the remaining matches as they must fight to at least be able to get 3 wins in the remaining matchs if they want to get out of the relegation zone. Well let’s see how things go for them as I think they will still want to remain in the Ligue 1 next season and it’s not too late for them to put up a fight.

Everton have wasted their chance to stay on the winning path after the defeat to Everton, to be honest I think Everton will be a very easy opponent for Liverpool, yes indeed the game is a derby match that is often full of high intensity but looking at Everton's current performance, of course it is actually not difficult for Liverpool to beat Everton,  But in fact Everton, who two weeks ago was beaten by Chelsea with a big score, was able to rise by beating Nottingham Forest and of course took Liverpool off the winning path after a surprising 2-0 win yesterday, for now I think Liverpool's hopes of rising have begun to disappear especially they are starting to move away from Arsenal with a distance of 3 points.

I think Liverpool's poor performance at the moment is nothing but a snowball effect after their defeat to Atlanta in the Europa League, after the painful defeat to Atalanta, Liverpool seem to have no passion in playing and make them continue to slump like they are today, I think for now Liverpool have been out of the winning path because it looks like it will be difficult for them to catch Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining games.

Well surprisingly Everton were able to still maintain the momentum after they got defeated by Chelsea or should I say battered by Chelsea, they were able to build momentum with a win against Nottingham Forest. They came into the match with Liverpool very confident knowing it’s a derby.

 ⁠They had everything to play for and they were able to dominate Liverpool and get the win and you can understand that they were resilient. Where did their strength come from, I think they are really fighting hard to remain in the epl after the whole points deduction they fight to still be in the nations top flight league.

 Liverpool were dumped out of the Europa and since then the general team’s momentum has dropped and now it seems they’ll be ending the season with just one trophy. This is a crazy way to bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp who has given his all for this Liverpool team for a period of over 9 years and this is real crazy.

 ⁠Their attack isn’t clinical and the players up there all look rusty in front of goal and this means much work for whosoever takes over from Jurgen in Summer. He will have some huge job doing in bringing back that firing power to the attack line as now they are looking like a shadow of themselves.
292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 25, 2024, 09:45:08 PM
Liverpool can say goodbye to the title race this season, and this is like what happened several seasons ago, continuing to compete in several competitions where the opportunity to get several titles was wide open, but slowly and surely they started to lose these opportunities one by one and in the end they didn't. get anything, but at least this season they have won one title so it's not too bad a farewell for Jurgen Klopp.

What was quite bad was that they lost to a team that could be said to be weak, Everton was the only team that was struggling at the bottom five of the table but two consecutive wins put them quite far ahead in terms of points from the four teams that were still fighting at the bottom of the table. Liverpool played at full strength and controlled the game but their strikers have been very poor in the last few matches, including this match, and are just waiting for Manchester City to play their postponed match to make Liverpool drop to third place in the standings.
The EPL title race is already slimming dowm to just arsenal and man city especially after Liverpool were defeated by their city Rivals at Godison Park. Now you can now count them out of the title race with just 4 matches to go and I think this comes as a huge blow and surprise to the fans and to Jurgen Klopp.

 The defeat wasn’t expected but that’s a Merseyside derby and as such any result was sure of happening especially after Everton are in a bid for wanting to remain in the league. Everton who have showed resilience by getting the massive 3 points as this has helped them to still remain in the EPL as they are now some points away from the relegation zone.

 This Liverpool’s current fate is one that have been encountered by the club in the past, where they’re all out chasing for titles but at the end, they seem to lose out on all titles they’re chasing for and end the season trophyless or probably with just one trophy. Losing to Everton was one I think disgusted the fans because they expected they’ll be able to come and run riot on this Everton team rather than the defeat they got.

 Liverpool will need to do some massive recruitment when Klopp leaves at the end of the season because they can’t keep playing the way they have been recently. Dominating and then losing out is one major problem of this Liverpool side and they will need to aquire some clinical finishers to be able to at least get back to that dreadful team we know.

I think PSG can win against Dortmund because if you look at the strength of both PSG is much more superior but this is a UCL semi-final match of course Dortmund has worked hard to reach this point and they don't want to just lose, I'm sure they will play as hard as possible to beat PSG Even though PSG may be far superior in strength to Dortmund, apart from the other semi-finals, Madrid and Munich seem to be the favorites for everyone because both of them are the strongest teams in the UCL so far.

But if you look at the statistics, Madrid is much more favored than Munich. The possibility of Madrid qualifying for the final and playing against PSG. If Mbappe plays more seriously, of course they can take the UCL this season from Madrid's hands. I hope PSG can show their abilities in the UCL this time and not only playing well in the domestic league, we know that they have dominated Ligue 1 for quite a long time and none of their competitors have really broken it, Mbappe must be able to bring PSG to win the title this season, I think PSG is more worthy than Dortmund to win the title. CL title this season because he deserves it.
Of course when you look at both teams, you’ll know that psg will be able to defeat Dortmund because tactically they seem to be better than Dortmund. Also during the group stage psg was able to get the better off Dortmund and at that, the chances of it repeating itself is pretty high. PSG will be going all out to at least give their fans another European final amd they sincerely have a shot at the trophy with the tactics of Enrique. Though Dortmund aren’t going to be an easy opponent as they have been able to get to this stage despite some tough challenges on their way here but them focusing on this and their league’s top 4 battle won’t be easy.

 ⁠As compared to PSG who are already league winners and just have this semi final clash to focus on, so of a truth PSG will sure be able to defeat Dortmund and head to the finals. Real Madrid will sure be able to defeat Bayern because they’re the better team between the two of them.

 No disrespect to Munich but this season they haven’t been that fierce team that we usually know and even though they have been able to get to this stage, their run to this stage has been pretty shaky and not convincing enough. A final of PSG and Real Madrid is what is likely to happen and we hope psg will be able to at least prove a point in the final though we know it’s pretty difficult but I think that’s a stepping stone for next season.

Ragnick is getting ever closer to becoming Bayern's coach since bayern has also made personaly communication with him and ragnick has been also agreeing with all of terms as a new coach for bayern munich. Meanwhile, Tuchel has been linked with the job as United's head coach at the end of the season and im hoping it will come true since he is even worthy compared to the ten hag. im getting so upset with ten hag';s performance. It is confirmed that Ragnick has concrete talks with Bayern Munich about everything between him and the club as a requirement to become a new coach for bayern. We can expect his contract to be finalized soon. I am confident that he will do it correctly.
It's disappointing to see Bayern recruiting instead of Xabi Alonso, but given Xabi's decision not to leave Leverkusen puts him to be an alternative solution although bayern has also contacted naglesmann but he snubs it. we can only wait and see. I saw a better candidate for Bayern, such as Conte or perhaps Mourinho can also be alternative solution for bayern munich at this time.
There's nothing wrong with it, but I understand how the fans wanted a better coach than Ragnick and i have ever heard how ronaldo was calling him not even a coach when he was still at united as a caretaker. Since Bayern officials have already approved him as a new appointment for Bayern, all we have to do now is wait for the official announcement from Bayern during the summer transfer season. Tuchel must have finished his season with Bayern first and there will be another transition from him to the ragnick.

Alonso has very much been impressive in his performances for Leverkusen. He's been watched and observed and in all his games, he's proven to present an outstanding and formidable team. He's just new in the business but yet still has set up a formidable team. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

 He's proven to be worthy to handle well any team presented to him and definitely I believe he can do well if another team is put in his care. Maybe his strategies work well for him and can still work well with another team. With Leverkusen, he's done well and he's working towards an aim for the club. He's been watched closely to see how well he'd be able to keep up with the games for the team and see how well he can uphold against their biggest threat in the Bundesliga.

 He's just been able to prove himself worthy to take on a higher ranked club. His good at what he's done so far even with a less productive squad as Leverkusen, now one would imagine how enormous he'd achieve with a productive squad with higher player capacity and quality. He's another one amongst many players turn coach that did well both in the pitch and in the manager's box too. I really won't be surprised if he's beckoned up on by bigger clubs to show his abilities.

 Although being considered as a replacement to the Bayern Munich squad and him declaring his unreadiness to leave Leverkusen, Munich were left with no option than to quest for Ragnick. Well I'll say maybe he's going to be different from Tuchel but it's really hard to tell where the fault of Munich team came from. We only have to put our courage on Ragnick to make a difference.

Bayern Leverkusen is currently quite respected in the Bundesliga. Because they haven't been defeated there. But it is true that this does not mean they cannot be beaten. Even in Leverkusen's last match in the Bundesliga they didn't win but they were held to a draw by Dortmund. But things got worse for Rome. Because they just lost to Bologna in Serie A and that happened at Roma's home ground. So it could be said that Leverkusen and Roma have both experienced a slight decline recently. But in the semi-finals I'm not sure whether Roma or Leverkusen will win. But for the Atalanta vs Marseille match, I'm pretty sure I will favor Atalanta.
Leverkusen's qualification to the semi finals of this season's UEL was also historic as they kept their unbeaten record still in play after drawing to West ham. This season they've been an undaunted team and they really have all it takes to finish the season with the unbeaten record intact and two trophies in their shelf.

 Their next UEL opponent is competitive but it's not really a big deal for them based on the fact that they have gained enough confidence and have even being in tougher encounters which they've at thesame time comfortably come out from victoriously. Roma themselves know that they won't be up for a joke game in the semi finals stage.

 We all thought UEL would be fair enough to make an encounter between Leverkusen and Liverpool but we also forgot that football can't always be as it seems as Liverpool, the big team who were projected to stay longer in tbe contest were eliminated by a smaller team who really stands little chance to bring down Leverkusen if peradventure they get to go up against each other in the final game.

 This weekend, Leverkusen would still definitely maintain their unbeaten track record and 99.9% still uphold this record in the domestic league till the season runs out and for their UEL race, the chances to maintain the records are still feasible. Truthfully, so far this season, Leverkusen have been remarkable and they're a team that the football community is proud of.

Inter has been able to win the Serie A title. This Serie A title is the second title after the Bundesliga title won by Leverkusen this season. The match was also pretty incredible. A lot of things happened in this match. I think Milan was actually lucky that Inter was unable to score anymore. Because Inter definitely had the chance.

Something needs to be said about Benjamin Pavard, when this French defender was in Bayern Munich he won the DFB Pokal, German League, UCL, and many more. Now Serie A with Inter, i think he is the main pillar on the defence side of Inter. I can see with him playin' in the field Inter only lost 2 matches and all of the other matches they own or drew. his time with Inter is really good, this is a great achievement.

I also have to say that the red cards in this match were unnecessary. Absolutely unnecessary to be honest. But I guess Hernandez and Dumfries had a history between themselves and it was the of them getting angry towards each other on the field. but even if someone can actually show reasons why this happened, the last red card was more unnecessary than this. I guess Calabria was just frustrated.

Anyway, congratulations to Inter for being able to win that title.

In the Serie A league days back. there were two fixtures carrying enough interests from fans and the outcome will cause spiking and varying moods and reactions too. One of them was between the league leaders and their fellow Milan team. Inter Milan's last 2 league encounter result still left them at the top of the table and it only made their next game much anticipated as fans believe it was their intentional plan to lift the season's trophy against their fellow Milan team at San Siro. To inter Milan it was a beautiful experience but to their opponent, I must say it was a blow to their face directly.

 They've all time in past seasons made relevance in the league but this season just turned to be different for them. The best they can really do at the moment is to finish the league at the right spot as they weren't able to ensure not to embrace a loss in the game against Inter Milan too. Big congratulations to Inter Milan as a team and their coach for clinching his first trophy as a manager.

 One would say that yes maybe Parvard's luck is on them as he attained remarkable heights while he was at Munich. It's good that he was with the team and did great exploits them. It's no doubt that his impact to the team was evident considering the number of times he performed his role justly till the last minute. Additionally, the collective team effort also made its own impact too. We just have to wait and watch the subsequent Inter Milan's performances.

yep, Leverkusen managed to open a very wide view to all Bundesliga teams that no matter how strong Bayern Munich dominance is, they will ultimately be able to be defeated with very high consistency and I'm sure that after this season, in the coming season there will be several other teams that will try to imitate their style playing Leverkusen to try to get a title like Leverkusen and it's not boring to see the Bundesliga competition every season.

no one can predict what the results will be in the coming season and it all still depends on the upcoming transfer market and at that time we will still see a lot of big changes that will occur in all teams and in particular we will always see the development of Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and other popular teams to find out who the new players will be recruiting and whether there will be a change in coach.
and what is certain is that in the coming season Leverkusen will certainly not make any major changes in terms of the line up of players and the coach will remain the same, but for Bayern Munich they will definitely replace the coach and who the strongest candidate is cannot be known at this time and in my opinion bringing in Nagelsmann is not it would be that easy.
Well I think it’s time we start asking for competitions among teams in different leagues because other than the EPL it seems we have less competition in other leagues. This season we saw Bayern Leverkusen being able to win the league ahead of Bayern Munich who are traditional winners of the league.⁠The fun was so exciting to watch as we have now seen how Bayern Leverkusen have also managed to stay unbeaten up till this time and give Bayern Munich some wide point gap. Xabi Alonso is really a good coach and since when he was appointed up till now you always see improvement in this Leverkusen side.

 ⁠Bayern Munich haven’t been their best this season amd surprisingly when they signed Harry Kane, so many thought they’ll be really clear off the league but the reverse happens to be the case. Bayern Munich haven’t been impressive in their performance this season and it’s one thing that the new coach needs to worry about on the perfect tactics for this set of players.

 Leverkusen have been able to raise the bar across Europe and I hope other clubs in other leagues will be able to do what they have done as healthy competition amongst team in a league makes the league look real interesting. I would love to see more teams compete against each other next season as this will help boost the club’s performance in Europe.

 Lorient will be the next opponent for PSG and as you said of course the match will not potentially make PSG lose points later, currently PSG are at the top of the table while Lorient is still in the 17th relegation zone at the moment, so we can compare the strength and also the performance of the two teams that are very different at this time,  Although Lorient will play at home but still there is no chance for us to see Lorient can beat PSG in the match although most likely PSG will play their reserve squad in the match later, currently PSG is in quite good form and even in high motivation after successfully eliminating Barcelona in the Champions League, besides of course PSG will still aim for victory in order to be able to win the Ligue 1 title sooner this season.

Against Nice will be a match that we can say as an opportunity for Marseille to be able to rise to a better ranking, a victory from Nice can at least return Marseille to rank 7 later, Marseille's performance is not very good in Ligue 1 at this time but in the European League they are quite surprising we can enter the semi-finals to play Atlanta in the next match,  Against Nice is certainly not an easy match for Marseille but it looks like Marseille will be able to at least get 1 point in the match later.
The inconsistent performance of Chelsea is one that is now a major worry for the fans because as a big club, this is not what the fans expect as the club hasn’t managed to have at least 5 straight good matches and this has now made the club be seen as a mediocre club. You can blame a lot for the bad performances from the inconsistent and worrisome defense line to the wrong tactics of the coach.

 ⁠You can say a lot is wrong with the club already and this is quite worrisome especially after the club’s new owners have spent quite a lot on the team to see that the performance tries to improve more than how it was last season. The club needs to bounce back to winning ways and one way to that is to immediately address the issues bothering or causing these challenges as the club is a big club and shouldn’t be in this state next season.

 ⁠Poch yes is one of the problems though he’s good with management of players as you can see how he’s improved the attitude of these young lads whilst on the pitch of play. I think the club still needs one coach who’s sound tactically to be able to manage these boys and give them the right tactics to use on the pitch of play.

 The club owners have spent alot and should be reaping their fruits of their investments but rather things are going sour, though to an extent they too are somehow the problem of the club for signing these young players to. Well it’s not too late as the board can address these challenges and bring the club back on the competitive radar across Europe.

Arsenal can hope that City misses a few games that will help club to get into the first position of EPL again. As long as city will always win the game and arsenal will have no chance to get the trophy, which is unlikely to happen with the club. Chelsea has performed so poorly in that game. Chelsea's defensive line is completely vulnerable, and Arsenal could break it within the first four minutes. Shit happens to Pochettino again.

The chances of pochettino being fired by the club are very high this time after the club consistently getting several losses which is also hurting the situation in the club. Chelsea is reportedly looking for a new coach to lead the club but i don't know who is it since some candidates being mentioned as potential coach. Arsenal constantly attacked Chelsea. Chelsea's performance has declined so dramatically that it appears to be nothing more than a low-tier team competing against high-tier teams such as Arsenal.

Things get even worse when Havertz scores two goals. The Arsenal fans began to chant his name. I meant if Chelsea has so many unprofessional managers, coaches, and even teams this season. They all keep doing shit. I'm just wondering when Todd Boehly will realize he has done something wrong by selling so many professional players owned by Chelsea. Chelsea's performance isn't even improving; the club remains stuck in the same place.

A half-billion dollar donation from Chelsea's owner meant nothing for the club, the momen when jackson was one on one against raya and it's really disappointed result. Chelsea has recruited the scam striker. The owner intervened excessively, destroying the club in the process. Embarassing performance by chelsea players. They are once again doing same shit in the game against arsenal.

The inconsistent performance of Chelsea is one that is now a major worry for the fans because as a big club, this is not what the fans expect as the club hasn’t managed to have at least 5 straight good matches and this has now made the club be seen as a mediocre club.

This is proof that Arsenal succeeded in showing and deserved a landslide victory. Of these 5 goals, I highlighted Havertz performance, which in Arteta's hands actually transformed into a quality player. He proved to the team that had sold him that it was the biggest mistake. Pochettino was embarrassed by Havertz goal celebration. I likes the way he is getting better with Arsenal, and is willing to fight to improve his performance. I didn't think this far about the score that Arsenal could score, my initial prediction was just over 3 goals but seeing the Chelsea players on the front line without Cole Palmer did have a bad impact in terms of attack. Jackson couldn't be relied on, he was too selfish to be an executor and his performance was quite bad.

Manchester City 2 matches against Brighton and North Forest shouldn't be too much pressure as long as Pep and his players are really focused on maximizing opportunities. Consistently Manchester City certainly has a high chance of getting 3 points in these 2 matches. So it's better to field his best squad because in a situation like this Pep can't take too many risks.
  The victory of Arsenal yesterday against fellow Londoners was pretty deserved as they were the better team in that match and they showed that in their general performance. None of the players for Arsenal was found lacking in terms of performance level as you can see how all of them were outstanding and the goals contribution involved all the players on the pitch of play.

 ⁠Havertz who was signed from Chelsea during the summer was a standout player in the mayhem of the blue club as he scored 2 goals which has now increased his tally. Since his arrival at Arsenal he’s comtinued breaking barriers and has improved tremendously as such showing more reasons why he was a good signing by Arsenal.

 Though he was overlooked by Poch and wasn’t trusted especially by the new owners, i think his goals have been able to redeem on the reason he was signed and wanted by Arteta. This high attitude is the one that players who wre shown the exit by key owners need to uphold because this helps in building players value.

 ⁠Man city ought to be very consistent in their performance especially in the matches against Brighton and Nottingham because right now Arsenal are away with over 5 points though they’re 2 matches away from City but they have managed to build good goal difference to help them in their lead. This means City must bring in their A game if they’re to stand a chance in this fixtures.
