Saudi Arabia teams are collecting famous players regardless of their ages but also talented players and those who could still help them achieve their goals on winning domestic and international titles.
Is it purely for the sake of it? clubs that buy star players are teams in one PIF industry. I think they have a mission beyond that. They are on a mission to turn around the oil business that may soon run out. In addition, it seems that they are trying to host the 2034 world cup. They are trying to attract football fans to divert the football center that has been focused on Europe
First they wanted to boost the popularity of their League and now they've done it well. Having players with European labels coming in was a great way to make them as popular as they are now.
Talking about business, I'm not new to football being a promising business industry and we've seen that. A lot of rich people end up going directly into the world of football by buying shares in a club or something like that. Especially when they have a big hobby of football that will make them not hesitate to be part of this business.

Yes, I also agree with you that the game was very balanced, and it can be said that Nice won because they were lucky enough in this match. With this victory Nice can maintain their position at the top of the standings with only 1 point difference from Paris Saint Germain who are right below them.
Nice are also the only club unbeaten so far, but even so, there are still notes that they must improve, one of which is in their attack line. Because they have problems there, as evidenced by only being able to only create 10 goals from 9 matches they play.

Actually, Nice is above PSG, but this is not so important, at this stage there is only a two-point difference between PSG and Monaco and it is these three teams that will most likely get direct access to the Champions League. This season, France gets another place in the Champions League, which is a great achievement, and while Lille is in fourth place, I doubt that Brest will be able to move them up, and Marseille is still playing weakly enough, to lay claim to their place.
I think it's too early to talk about who will get a place in the Champions League for next season, because the league has just started and it's not even halfway through the season yet. It's still a long way to go to talk about who will be in first and second place.
Maybe at the moment Monaco and Nice can still be above Paris Saint Germain, but the question in my mind is whether they will be able to consistently maintain the place they are sitting now, because they still have a lot of games to play, and we also don't know what they will face later.



Monaco has really been at their best this season and I think they are aiming at the league title as well if possible but then so far with their performance, they could possibly make it but with a slight point difference or maybe goal difference but very importantly they would have to maintain this form and be consistent with good results from every game they play till the season ends, it will be really interesting to see a new champion in the Ligue 1 this season aside PSG that we have been too used to.
Camara's quick goal in the 4th minute actually made a surprise that was beyond prediction but with the performance shown by Monaco in this match it was not something that needed to be worried about. Monaco's dominance was extraordinary in this match, besides that the opportunities they had also showed confidence that indeed 3 points could be obtained easily and the result was that Golovin's brace made them get 3 points again in this match.

Currently they are still ahead at the top of the table but indeed the competition is now increasingly visible and this is quite interesting.
They showed what they should do, yes with a fairly easy opponent they should have won this match. Camara's surprise goal was answered before the end of the first half, and early in the second half they scored a quick goal to turn the game around. It was a bit of a surprise when they found it so hard to get ahead in this match, but they still managed to come out on top despite the tight goal difference.
If they can maintain their stablity, then winning the title is not impossible.

Well if that happens then I will really wait for his work when he becomes a coach, whether when he becomes a coach will gain the same success as when he was a player or not. Indeed, many players aspire to become coaches when they retire, and I think that's good because they can learn early from experienced coaches about applying strategies in matches, or the smallest things that I'm sure each coach has a different coaching style.
Now if he wants to be a coach, then he should start learning from now on, so that when he really jumps in as a coach he can quickly and carefully apply his strategy.

This is when I am sometimes stuck between a rock and a hard place. I look at the player and his achievements but first and foremost the character and then it is hard to imagine that the player could become a great coach. Zidane has always been an authority and someone who understands the game and is charsimatic. I had no doubt he could become successful as a coach. But a different example would be Diego Simeone. When he came to Atletico Madrid, I remembered how he behaved like a player and what character he was, and I couldn't get a picture into my head that would paint him as a good coach. But well, he delivered as a coach. In case of Benzema I don't know, maybe with experience at other clubs and then in 10 years from now he may be doing great as a coach. But I don't think he would be well respect by all players early on in his career.
I also can't say whether he'll be a great coach or not, as many factors will determine this. Now there are many players who are great and when they become coaches they are also great, there are players who are great but when they become coaches they fail, and so on. 
I don't know what Benzema will be able to do as a coach, because at the moment I honestly don't see his leadership potential. But that could all change with his process and his first experience as a coach.
I wouldn't expect too much from him at the start, because he's bound to be a bit nervous.



In terms of squad depth, Al-Nassr should be able to score more than two goals, but even in normal attacks they are always thwarted by the opposing goalkeeper. Luckily, when the deadlock from normal attacks didn't work, Al-Nassr still had smart players to execute free kicks and Talisca and Ronaldo managed to do it all well.

I also feel satisfied with this result and at least Al-Nassr did not achieve a draw or lose because if they get this result it is certain that the positive trend they are maintaining will be broken and also the opportunity to get closer to the top of the standings will experience another setback.
This match was quite fierce if you look at it because Damac was able to score 16 shots and 6 were on target. I admit that there was a lot of luck for Al Nassr and that luck was none other than because they had players who were able to execute free kicks into goals. Ronaldo is a versatile player where in this match he showed his skills in free kicks to score goals and it was quite spectacular from what he showed in this match.

For Damac, they don't have attackers who are good enough to score goals because many of the opportunities they have can't be converted into goals. I think Al Nassr has a stronger and more experienced squad depth so they were able to end this match with a win thanks to the two goals they scored via free kicks.
Damac really gave a very tight resistance to Al Nassr, but Al Nassr was lucky enough in this match because they could secure 3 points. Al Nassr could barely create a chance on the gamplay ball, they could only create a goal that all the process from set pieces. If I may say, Damac actually deserved points in this match, it's just that they were not that lucky to at least draw Al Nassr who played at their own headquarters.

Previously, I thought the match between Aston Villa against West Ham would be a very difficult and tight match. But that doesn't seem to be the case, because the fact is that Aston Villa managed to win big with a score of 4-1 and of course, I personally really didn't expect Aston Villa to win with a very good score like this. So yes, with this good victory and also, about the great improvement that was successfully realized for Aston Villa, then I think this is also the success of Unai Emery. Because after all, before Aston Villa did not even have a good dominance of victory when Aston Villa played against West Ham from record in the head to head. But in this moment, Unai Emery managed to provide very good results for Aston Villa, obviously this is a great improvement.
Aston Villa match yesterday, many people did not expect that the team would score in large numbers and of course many people bet on WestHam to win, but in terms of depth of performance, currently Aston Villa has much greater strength than in the previous season and it looks like this season will be the worst season for WestHam because unstable performance and consistently very weak defense. at first I thought that Aston Villa would win this match but not with big score, but after seeing the appearance of Aston attack line, it was very strong, putting pressure on WestHam defense line in row which made WestHam players mentality weaken because home games were always superior for Aston Villa and It seems like this season WestHam will have to accept fact that this team will always have to perform badly if they dont get strong players in defense and attack.

True, and I am one of those who did not expect that the final score of the match was satisfying, especially for fans in the Aston Villa camp itself, I thought initially the match would end with a score of at least 2 - 1 victory over Aston Villa but it turned out to be more than that. But well in my opinion it is natural why they can get a good score, because anyway as we see and cannot be denied that Unai Emery's squad is now in its best performance, they have improved quite well compared to the previous season, it is proven and we can see in the last five matches they have not lost at all.

As for West Ham, I see that they are now in ninth position in the standings, and in the last five matches they have only been able to pocket one win and one draw, the rest lost. None other than this is also because as you said the performance of this squad is now in bad condition and not promising, honestly in my opinion it is very difficult for West Ham to go up in the trophy race at the end of the season, and even I think with their conditions like this just to be able to qualify for the UCL alone it is very small chance and almost impossible.
2805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 23, 2023, 09:56:43 AM
Although the matches in November and December for Stuttgart can affect its ranking in the standings because the opponents are also quite tough, I also hope that Stuttgart can make a better surprise by beating one of the three teams you mentioned. Because this season Bayern Munich is really feeling more pressure than last season, so its dominance may be slightly reduced this season due to the revival of Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Dortmund.
I don't think Bayern munich is too under pressure in the bundesliga this season because the point difference is quite close to the teams above them, even the competition that occurred at the start of this season looks quite normal. bayern munich will be able to compete until the end of the season, making them lock in the title, but I doubt that stuttgart and leverkusen will be able to maintain their best performance until the end of the season.

I think for leverkusen it is nothing but that they are able to provide many changes this season and we hope they can maintain their best form. There are still many matches remaining and other teams can hinder their performance if they are not able to consistently maintain their ranking.

If we only look at the thin point difference between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, yes it is very small difference, but still I would not say that this condition is good for Bayern Munich, we can see Bayern Munich is quite difficult to be able to take the top of the standings from Leverkusen since the beginning of the season, and also although yesterday Xabi Alonso's squad had dropped from the top position now they have returned to the top and that means that Leverkusen has a big threat in the competition for the top five standings, especially for Bayern Munich itself which is struggling, although yes by only winning one more match Bayern Munich will be able to overtake Leverkusen's points along with seizing its position but still it will not be easy, Leverkusen and VfB will also continue to maintain their points by winning the next match, in addition we have proven that these two clubs are in very good form now.

The performance of Leverkusen and VfB this season is indeed very surprising to all eyes, their improvement is very significant in the competition and also in the last five matches these two clubs can still dominate the victory by always being able to get full points at the end of the match. So basically these two teams are a big threat to Tuchel's squad now, but I don't know if they will be able to be consistent until the end of the season or not.
2806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: October 23, 2023, 08:22:48 AM
With their expectations and judgements, families can strongly affect behaviour. Children often disguise unhappy or unsatisfactory behaviour. Protecting our loved ones from pain is instinctual, and many would rather see their parents upset than their own desires or habits.

Its intriguing and disconcerting how parents can spot behavioural changes in their children. A deep-seated evolutionary drive to protect their children may explain this perceptiveness. Perhaps after years of seeing and engaging with their kids, they notice even small changes. Even if one thinks they've hidden their acts, tiny behavioural cues can reveal them. A subtle dance of acts, reactions, and concealing and seeking.
By seeing their parents upset, children may imitate them indirectly in their daily behavior so that it will also change their characteristics to follow their parents. Children need attention from their parents and parents can provide the things their children need so that they can develop well.

And yes, parents can notice small changes in their children and start to become suspicious of them. Especially when their children grow up, they will interact more often with their friends, changing their children's behavior in socializing with everyone. If children have been provided with their parents on how they can adapt to their new environment, this will not affect their lives and will not affect their socialization with their friends because they have a firm attitude not to be tempted by anything from their friends.

Yes it is very possible for them to imitate, which is where children will usually follow the same things that adults do, but they don't know whether it's good or bad behavior, they just follow it, if indeed what they imitate is good behavior then it will be very good for their personality but if on the contrary what they follow is bad behavior from their parents that they should not follow then yes it will be able to become their shadow and maybe they will continue to do things like that. Therefore something that is very influential on the personality of children is the factor of the environment itself, so we as parents must really be able to choose the best environment for them because indirectly it can also be a lesson for them.

No matter how small the changes in the child, every parent will definitely know, because obviously they are their children who are always with them every day and every time, and yes if there is something negative done by their children then they will definitely realize it, good behavior must start from childhood, no other childhood can also be a determination for them when they grow up, especially when they are just growing up then both parents must really choose the best environment for their children, don't let them enter the wrong environment, especially if one of the environments is gambling or even addicted to gambling, it's dangerous.
2807  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 23, 2023, 07:32:13 AM

Honestly I wouldn't say that you or they can't win at all but rather it's going to be very hard to get because it all depends on your own luck. There are many people who try to gamble more often and even with a bigger budget, I'm sure at least in 20x tries you will be able to get one or two wins like you always hoped but can you see how the final result of that 20x tries, I mean just subtracting 2x wins in 20x tries? you sacrifice 18x losses to get 2x wins, is that balanced? maybe there is a balance if the winnings are very large but usually it is very difficult to get a number like that and usually the number of losses still exceeds the number of your wins.

For people who are already addicted, I honestly don't know how long that cycle will last, but still change is the best thing to stop or slowly get out of the zone like that. So the bottom line is gambling is okay but you have to be very careful, establish self-control and don't overdo it, that's all my friend.
Yes, because in gambling everyone cannot predict whether he will win, even if he tries his best, if he is not lucky then he will experience a big loss, even though he only makes a profit once or twice he still experiences a loss. Because in gambling there are definitely more losses than wins and this is a normal thing to happen.

That's right, if someone realizes that there is no luck in gambling and he goes to great lengths to chase that luck then I think he is an addict, and that is not good for himself. With as much experience as possible, this could be a way for him to learn to reduce his gambling activities and maybe he will stop because he has experienced bad things in his gambling activities.

Therefore, gambling is nothing more than an entertainment activity, none other than that because the level of risk is very large there, besides that as you said it cannot be predicted, so it is only natural why those who are too serious in gambling instead of getting the victory they always hope for but on the contrary, the number of defeats is increasing. Although you always try to increase your time and gambling budget with the aim of "hopefully this way you can win", but it will only be a way of nonsense because of course everything will not change, luck will not change, which is clear the point is that the casino will not care what method you use but luck will really determine the final result for you smile.

Anyone who takes gambling too seriously and also with too high expectations then I say they are definitely addicted, no matter what reason they will bring. True, the bitter experience they had there should be used as a reference so that they will not do the same thing again, instead of gambling again with the intention of revenge, it will not have an effect and may only make the situation worse. So the point is you have to be able to change even if it's slowly no problem because it's the best.
2808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 23, 2023, 07:02:52 AM
Of course because there is no other way but to stop doing it or slowly reduce the activity, not to mention it is also for their own good and also for their family. Although they may argue that they will gamble with all control or self-restriction, it will not always be like that, the flow of gambling runs under the human consciousness so it is very possible that they will unconsciously enter into addiction and will always say "This time I will definitely win", they always hope - and even though there is absolutely no certainty and even the chances are very small. And obviously if they have entered the zone like that then maybe they will not think about their family including the basic needs for their family. Indeed there may be some of the gamblers who can withstand all the temptations that are there with strong self-control, but I say the chances are very small to be able to do that, as we know how the temptation in gambling until - until you can forget everything in your life gambling has distracted you. So the bottom line for those who are still gambling or even addicted is better from now on to reduce it and for those who never gamble at all I hope you can stay in that position by not being tempted by gambling at all, that's better.
When the money runs out, he doesn't immediately leave the casino. Still, he will think about depositing another amount of money into his gambling account to be able to continue gambling. This often happens to many gamblers because they still want to win and recover previous losses. When they do not realize that their family is more important than gambling, they only spend their family's money on gambling without considering meeting their daily needs. That's because they can't abandon their gambling and think they can win so that they will fulfill their family's daily needs with their winnings. But what happened was different from what he wanted.

If indeed they are still in their addiction and have not been able to stop or just reduce then yes, they will definitely do as you said, when the money runs out or the gambling at that time ends in defeat then they will get emotional and after the impact of emotions then they will look for ways to be able to deposit again even though for example they have run out of money but as we know those who are addicted have many ways and will even justify all means just to be able to gamble. Borrowing from the closest people? yes it is very possible and also sell their valuables. The point is for those who are already addicted, almost all of their mindsets have been dominated by lust and selfish feelings, even though on the other hand other people are the same, I mean anyone can never escape defeat and that is gambling where the system has been set up so that defeat always dominates them. So the only way for you not to get emotional is to become a responsible gambler by accepting all the risks, and you have to apply that mindset from the start.

Well the push of necessity is also very likely to be the reason for them to keep gambling, when they have a family then the needs will increase and they will think of looking for victory in gambling in order to fulfill everything, it's not wrong because the intention is good but I say they are misplaced.

That's right, when they are married or married then what they have to prepare at the beginning is good management in terms of finances, because of course their expenses will be greater than usual when they are still supporting life for themselves, and now there are two lives they have to feed, you and your wife and also maybe some of your children later. As much as possible, we should minimize our spending and not buy anything that we don't need. So if in such conditions for example you are still gambling then instead of saving the budget but you are busy by continuing to allocate money to gambling. Believe me there will be many problems that come especially in terms of finance, if indeed you have more money then it is better to save for other needs in the future.
Financial management is something that must be done by both married and unmarried people so that they can fulfill their daily needs. If he only uses his money for gambling without any allocation for other things, he will have difficulty meeting his daily needs and this will make him borrow other people's money to buy his living necessities. Having a budget for gambling and other things will help us to survive and meet our living needs so that we will not borrow money from other people because other people also need money to survive. And if the husband/wife says to leave gambling for the sake of their family later, it is better for them to really leave gambling because otherwise, their family life might be disturbed. They will not be able to meet their daily needs because all their money is used for gambling.

Therefore, maybe you also know that every parent always instills good habits from childhood, such as telling us to start saving and saving, none other than money is also to realize our wishes someday, and it is a very good way of financial management. And it will be very useful when we are adults, whether it's for our own financial management or when we are married. Especially when we are married then as much as possible we should be able to manage our financial allocation by not buying something that is not really needed as I said at the beginning. What is quite concerning is when our finances are below average but there are many responsibilities that we must fulfill, such as those who are married and also on the other hand they are still gambling, honestly I can't imagine how your economy will be there. Difficulties will continue to attack you in that position and even I think you will also be confused to think about what to eat tomorrow, there is probably they will just leave a lot of debt there. So there really is no other way, you better stop doing this harmful activity, it's useless and it will only cause a lot of problems for your own family, I'm sure you can change and get out of gambling.

Yes, one of the problems Mourinho faces is that the composition he has is not that perfect, so it will make it difficult for him to be in a very tight competition. And I think when AS Roma change coaches it will not make significant progress, if the composition of the plyers they have cannot be changed. Maybe it's true that there are some clubs that have a squad that is not fancy they can compete and play very well, but it doesn't last long and in the following season they return to the game as usual. And if we see a club that can maintain its performance is a club that has a strong squad.

Yes, there is always an expected result that is assessed relative to the investment; in my opinion, Mourinho’s result is very high. It’s hard for me to name a coach who would have achieved more with Roma. But now both Mourinho and the club are stuck in the fact that a certain result has already been achieved and it is difficult to progress further (without significant investment), so it is likely that both sides will want to go their separate ways. But as I already wrote, the option that cooperation will continue also exists.
Despite what they are showing now, I also haven't seen any significant move by AS Roma, what I mean here is how they are not stepping up to improve their player composition or regenerate or so on. I understand that their finances are not so good at the moment to make significant changes. But even so, they can actually take small steps to make them better.
For Mourinho himself, it seems very difficult to bring AS Roma to a better direction, not impossible but it is difficult even if he is here for a long time.
There has to be a balance that happens when a team wants the best.

You make a good point - dealing with bots is definitely an ongoing struggle for online platforms like casinos.  Those sneaky bots seem to always be getting smarter and adapting to try to game the system.  And like you said, new ones pop up all the time! It's a huge pain for casinos and really any website these days when hacking the system is kinda becoming a hobby for some people. 

But it's not only the bots causing headaches and  the online world keeps expanding every day, with more and more people getting internet access, particularly in developing countries where broadband is still catching on.  Even just a few bucks of bonus money can seem like a great prize to them compared to their standard of living.
Yes, they adapt quickly and adjust to keep finding new openings. This is something that will definitely happen and is inevitable, especially with the development of the times which is also very fast.
We also cannot prohibit irresponsible people from stopping their activities that harm others, because they also make money from there.
But what I see now is that the casino is trying to reduce it, which is also worth appreciating. Even though they know they can't stop it, they are still trying.
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: October 22, 2023, 05:28:11 PM

It's inevitable for any player, not just Benzema, and only time will tell. Apart from all that I also still appreciate him, even though he is relatively old but he is still able to compete. Because not infrequently I see players whose age is still young they cannot improve their performance or even decline faster than they should.
Sooner or later we will definitely not see him play anymore and decide to retire, something that must happen to every player.
My only question is, is he interested in becoming a coach after retiring? It's worth waiting for.
I think Benzema seems interested in trying his luck by becoming a coach. I once read some local news regarding Benzema desire to enter the managerial world after deciding to retire as a professional player. If I'm not mistaken, Benzema aspires to be like Zidane, who successfully managed Madrid and succeeded in winning the Champions League. However, I think it will take a long time for that to happen, because Benzema is still under contract with Al Ittihad until June 2026.

I agree, Neymar missing isn't really a big deal for Brazil team because he was already causing them to spend one spot for an injured player. Not that in 2026 he will still be injured for the same reason, but he might be close to retiring at that age, and yes he may look young but that dude battled with injuries all his life long and I do not think that it is going to change now. The best thing to do right now would be to make sure they are spending some time on what they are doing without him, that would be better.

I think it would be something that would benefit them on the long run if they could just be a good team without him. After all, even if they get him to the squad, whose to say that he would not be injured again and end up being terrible? We are going to end up with something that would be half decent, and should be a good team without him as well. This is why I believe they will get used to the idea of not having Neymar on the team nowadays.
Yes I agree with you, that Neymar may not be plying anymore when the 2026 WC is held. The reason is quite basic and one of them when he often suffered injuries throughout his career and that alone made him give up and decide to retire.
Brazil we know that they are the creators of a very potential young seed, and it would be nice now that they are looking in that direction. Maybe in the last few years they have declined a little bit and can't compete anymore, they have to realize that.
Next year they will also have a new coach, the one who is in charge of Real Madrid now, Anceloti C.

Manchester United's performance is slowly starting to improve in my opinion and that will have a positive impact on the mentality and confidence of this team going into the next match and what you have to remember is that Manchester United is a big team that has a strong mentality on the UCl stage, so I have no doubts about them can get a win in the match against Copenhagen.
If Manchester United doesn't take advantage of this opportunity and can't win the match against Copenhagen, of course it will be difficult to get through the group, but if they get a win it might give them a small chance to get through the group, even though it will have to be a very hard fight because they have to beat Munich and Galatasaray in the next match with a possible aggregate provides a gap and opportunity to qualify.

I don't think that Copenhagen is a club that can be underestimated because they can definitely make it difficult for Manchester United to win, but if they really get up and play consistently they can definitely beat Copenhagen easily, you don't need to win big, just win narrowly 1 - 0 is more than enough, especially when playing at home as hosts, Manchester United must play as hard as possible to get the win if you really have a strong mentality.  Grin
Now they don't have to think too far ahead, like whether or not they can qualify from this group stage. All they have to do now is simply focus on the upcoming matches. If they think too much about the things I said above, it will also have a bad impact on their mentality. However, their chances of qualifying are still open, as long as they can focus and not make fatal mistakes that eventually make them have to lose again like in the previous 2 matches.
A victory against Copenhagen will open up their chances even bigger and they must be able to do it well.

Chelsea are slowly coming back to their senses. After the transfers made in the first six weeks and the change of manager, a good performance was expected from Chelsea, but after the seventh week Chelsea started to come back to their senses and started to make their fans happy. In yesterday's match against Arsenal, it was a pity that they ended the match with a draw despite leading 2-0. Although Chelsea increased their initial pressure and went 1-0 up, they managed to increase the difference to 2 in the second half in just 3 minutes. After scoring the goal, the home team slowly lost control and saw two goals in the goal after this minute and drew with in-form Arsenal, at least showing a resilient game, we can say that Chelsea is slowly starting to show everyone that it is recovering.
Their process to find their lost form is still very long, although I agree that their game against Arsenal was good, I hope they are not quickly satisfied with what was shown in that match. Because if that happens it is not impossible that they will return to being a pathetic club that has difficulty getting up. There is hope, yes there is always hope for them and after all they are one of the big clubs here, so they should realize that they must be able to rise quickly. The last few seasons they've had, it could be a very valuable lesson for them.

However, Osimhen is an important player for Napoli. In the match against Verona, without Osimhen, Napoli would easily win because Verona could be said to be weak. The next match against Milan will be an important match for Napoli. Can they win without Osimhen? This is real proof. However, before facing AC Milan they will also face Union in the UCL and in this match Osimhen cannot play. With the addition of three points, Napoli now has 17 points. This number is the same as Juventus and Fiorentina, but both still have one more match left today.
The number of points that Napoli has after being able to win the match at home to Verona only places Napoli in the top five of the standings even though their points collection is the same as Juventus and Fiorentina. Meanwhile, for other matches in the UCL, I will also see how Napoli play there because in terms of strength, Union Berlin is also not strong enough, in fact Union Berlin has suffered two defeats in two matches in the UCL. And the next match is proof for Union Berlin, not just for Napoli.
Yes they're level on points with Juventus and Fiorentina, but the two clubs I mentioned haven't played their Week 9 matches yet, so there's a chance they could fall back behind on points again.
Regardless, we can all agree that there is a decline that Napoli are showing, we saw them so superior last season and now they have to struggle to at least win games. Osimhen is the same, I can't deny that he is an important player in the Napoli squad. But this season he also has a slight decline in performance. This is not unusual for a player, but if he can't bounce back quickly, then it's not good for him either.

There has been a decline in Benzema's performances as he gets older, but despite his decline, it's not significant in the sense that his performance is still within standard limits and he still deserves to be in the main squad.
We also can't always expect him to perform well forever, because ups and downs in performance are a certainty in football. Especially when age eats into his performance from time to time, he also has more injuries now, although the injury is relatively mild but it is still a bad sign for him.
It cannot be denied that sooner or later increasing age becomes a frightening threat to the quality of a player, and Benzema is no exception. Of course, we will not forget his performance while still playing for Real Madrid, so that he became the best player by winning the Ballon D'or. However, I will not blame Benzema in the Al Ittihad versus Al Tawoon match, because after all, every player has the potential to make mistakes, including Benzema.

There are still 24 matches left in the SPL, and anything is still possible. It is certainly very difficult for the clubs at the top of the standings to remain consistent by sweeping 24 matches with a win. So I think the standings will continue to change every week, the opportunity for Al Ittihad to win a trophy is still open.
It's inevitable for any player, not just Benzema, and only time will tell. Apart from all that I also still appreciate him, even though he is relatively old but he is still able to compete. Because not infrequently I see players whose age is still young they cannot improve their performance or even decline faster than they should.
Sooner or later we will definitely not see him play anymore and decide to retire, something that must happen to every player.
My only question is, is he interested in becoming a coach after retiring? It's worth waiting for.

Nice team looks like had a really lucky night yesterday in the game against Marseille.The player from Marseille got two yellows in a very short amount of time which resulted in a red card and soon after Nice were able to break the score to get to 1-0 which also ended in a win.Marseille we all know it is not in a good condition this season but against Nice even when they were running for the title they used to lose in the game that they played away like yesterday.For me Marseille is out of the title race this year while Monaco with all the ups and downs I think they can give it a try,I don't see any other team who can be as consistent when it comes to the teams fighting against Paris.
That's right, because I'm pretty sure that if Marseille hadn't lost a player then the match would have ended in a draw. Because their game is very balanced, and when we look at the statistics of this match then we will see their statistics do not show a far difference, or even it can be said that it is a balanced statistic from both teams. But sometimes that's how the game goes, luck can come at any time and can happen to any team. Marseille had to be satisfied with going home without bringing even 1 point.
Yes, I also agree with you that the game was very balanced, and it can be said that Nice won because they were lucky enough in this match. With this victory Nice can maintain their position at the top of the standings with only 1 point difference from Paris Saint Germain who are right below them.
Nice are also the only club unbeaten so far, but even so, there are still notes that they must improve, one of which is in their attack line. Because they have problems there, as evidenced by only being able to only create 10 goals from 9 matches they play.

Girona game who would have thought to see like 5 goals only in the first half,I thought Girona should have no problems winning against last place in the standings and I never thought they would allow more than one goal conceded as the worse case ever yet they conceded 2 goals with only 45 minutes of the game played.They showed great character though Girona turning things around already in the first half when in the 24th minute they were down 2 goals and they managed to score 3 goals in just 10 minutes,I think they are going to crush even further Almeria who honestly has not showed anything for good during all this La Liga season.
The second half is underway and there has been no change on the scoreboard. I was honestly surprised by Almeria's quick goal and even went 2 goals up befre Girona pulled a goal back before half time. Girona dominated the game, but they have to be careful because Almeria also have the potential to pull off a surprise atack that could very well lead to an equalizer. There's still a lot of time left, and with that time there's still a lot of possibilities. So let's see what happens next. Girona also need a win to keep Real Madrid at bay.

He hasn't failed, but he's struggled to bring AS Roma up to speed in Serie A especially. Yes indeed now the Serie A club can be said to be good, the big club clubs that the last few years like sinking, now they are starting to rise again and the impact is that the competition there is tighter, it will be difficult for clubs that do not have good strength.
I'm not saying AS Roma don't have good strength, but indeed when compared to some other big clubs maybe they can be said to be still below them with a comparison that is not too far away.

I think to successfully fight the big four in Serie A you need to lead one of these clubs. Mourinho has already jumped over his head by winning the Conference League and reaching the Europa League final with Roma, but fundamentally the strength of the team does not change and it is difficult to count on such achievements in every season. Mourinho is clearly not the one who will sit in one club if he does not have the resources to progress. He is now 60 years old (many years ahead) and I hope that after working in Saudi Arabia (if it happens) he will return to Europe to lead one of the top clubs.
Yes, one of the problems Mourinho faces is that the composition he has is not that perfect, so it will make it difficult for him to be in a very tight competition. And I think when AS Roma change coaches it will not make significant progress, if the composition of the plyers they have cannot be changed. Maybe it's true that there are some clubs that have a squad that is not fancy they can compete and play very well, but it doesn't last long and in the following season they return to the game as usual. And if we see a club that can maintain its performance is a club that has a strong squad.

Stuttgart performed very well at the start of this season, they managed to win the match against Union Berlin with a score of 0:3, each goal scored by Guraissy in the first half and followed by Silas and Undaf in the second half in the 81st and 88nd minutes.
Thank to this victory, Stuttgart is back in second place aboved Bayern Munich with 21 points so far, but only 1 point difference from Bayern Munich so Bayern Munich still has the opportunity to make some improvements and can overtake Leverkusen and Sttutgart to win again.

However, I hoped that this season will not be won by Bayern Munich because it is quite boring, many people want a new champion in the Bundesliga, so the matches in the Bundesliga looks even more interesting and I am very sure that Leverkusen has the opportunity to win the title if they continue to appear consistently until the end of the season.
and hopefully Stuttgart can also appear consistentcy until the end of the season so that the opportunity to remain in the top 3 can be achieved this season.
The team has developed into one of the strongest team this season though there's still doubt whether they'll be consistent in maintaining the top four position, however it's amazing how they've gone from a mediocre team to one of the top challenging teams this season, Stuttgart as only recorded only 1 lose out of 8 games this season and won the rest 7 that's a very good record and their good performance has kept them in 2nd place on the standings, they're just a point behind the current league leaders Leverkusen.

 Bayer Leverkusen is another that suprised me this season, they're very tough to play against and has maintained the 1st position for weeks now, just like Borussia Dortmund last season, I believe the team that might try to put a stop to the dominance of Bayern Munich this season is Leverkusen, however Bayern would still manage to win the league again this season.

Yes, there are indeed many new clubs that are skyrocketing this season, it's even hard to believe why they can be so violent this season, one of them is Stuttgart. Their performance is very surprising to all eyes this season, the consistent performance of Stuttgart at the beginning of the season is very surprising, even though on the other hand last season they were almost at the bottom of the standings and even had to play a relegation play off match which they were finally lucky to survive in the top caste of the Bundesliga. Perhaps most of the football lovers, especially the Bundesliga, would not have thought that a club that initially looked ordinary could be one of the clubs that provided very tight competition this season, even the defending champion Bayern Muchen is still struggling to shift its position now. It's beautiful to see the color green on the table with second place behind Leverkusen, in their last five matches they are completely unbeaten. Although no one knows if they will continue like this until the end of the season but honestly I hope they will be able to continue to be consistent in their performance, I want to see another club win the Bundesliga this season.

While Leverkusen have no doubt for this season, they are able to survive quite far in controlling the top of the standings until now, and of course they have a considerable opportunity to break the dominance of Bayern Munich.
