I agree if by assertive you mean in gambling, I mean if they have experienced several defeats or even just one defeat they should be assertive to stop, it's better than you are too late, because obviously if you are too late then you are very likely emotions will take over your mind and after that well maybe you already know what I mean, most likely what will happen is you will spend everything you have, including money and maybe borrow from some of your closest people there.

Of course, so it makes sense to say that environment has a huge influence on a person, if the environment is positive then it's good but if it's the opposite like this gambling? Well you will be carried away by the wrong association, you will say that it's natural because your environment is always like that, people around you do the same thing, that's a pretty obvious reason, when in fact it's wrong. We've already mentioned some of the effects on the person's attitude if they really are a gambler, like you said here and it's pretty easy to guess. Yes it's true, if they are already severely addicted then it's very difficult to stop, I'm sure many are asking how to overcome it, I would also probably just advise you to try it slowly.

Right and I think also maybe most of them do this because of assumptions like what you said above, they prefer to minimize, honestly I wouldn't say they are stingy but maybe many factors could be the reason, it could be because they have other payments, or for urgent needs or it could be they want to pay off their debts, the point is for their own needs. And well maybe they can also avoid people who want to borrow money, but they prefer to keep it a secret because maybe the person who wants to borrow money is not responsible enough.

Yes, everyone has different reasons why they can do that, or rather hide the winnings from the gambling results and of course that is enough reason that they think it is better to do. But in my opinion maybe it is mixed, meaning between those who are stingy and also with those who really have many other needs that become their reasons.

Well basically minors are like that, they are very happy with something that can give them a sensation and a pleasant response, but it must be remembered not the sensation in gambling, but simple things that can make them smile. I think for them it is very unlikely to try gambling, logically they will not know how to gamble, how the game rotation system is there, although there is a chance of winning money but I think if they only see it it is very unlikely for them to try, although the chances are quite small for them to follow what their parents do but well you better avoid gambling around your child, the fear is that when they are very curious then often ask you and behind the scenes they might be able to find information from some social media maybe.

Lastly I think logically there is no way any parent would teach gambling to their child, even though they know that everyone has different luck but adults and children are very different in their thinking, so it's very worrying. And yeah it's best that you don't gamble in front of your children, and if you can you should also quit that activity, that's all I can think of.

Yes, it is true that some of them are aware of their addiction and some are not at all, as we know that addiction is under the human consciousness so it is very natural that they are not aware of it and maybe only a small percentage are aware of it, they feel that they have done something reasonable, none other than that happens because of their wrong mindset and have been instigated by expectations that are too high in gambling. So even though for example they experience defeat it is like a very ordinary thing, even though it happens very often, and somehow when they win they are very happy. But just try if you count the number of wins and losses must be greater your defeat there.

If it is already addicted I think some advice from others will not fully help because they will remain firmly in the wrong mindset that they think is right, but there is nothing wrong with giving advice because obviously it is nothing but for their good too, some are successful but only a small percentage, and I say it depends on the level of their addiction, if it is severe it will be higher. Of course if it's true as you say, if they don't stop immediately then there will definitely be unexpected effects, but strangely they never think about it.

Yes I agree with you, that they should not make the absence of their 2 key players an excuse for their recent results, because they are actually a club that has an even strength between their first and second players. It's just that maybe their strategy didn't work out, and they had to accept some negative results.
I think Pep has done an evaluation and he will certainly be prepared to make some changes. Especially in the upcoming match maybe Rodri will be able to play for them again, following his sentence has ended.

Yes we can see what Lens are feeling this season, they were very good last season, but this season they have to be thrown into a position that should not see them there. What's worrying is that they are the club representing Ligue 1 in the Champions League alongside Paris Saint Germain. What becomes more interesting is when we see their performance in the Champions League which could be better, even they can beat Arsenal in their last match in the Champions League or in the second match there. It's like the inverse between them being in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League.

Talking about Ronldo's retirement, I honestly feel a sense of loss, yes I have seen how his journey from Sporting to now being in the Arab League with Al Nassr, and in the not too distant future we will most likely hear an official announcement about him retiring.
One thing I'm waiting for is whether he's interested in staying in a football environment other than being a plyer, or if he's interested in becoming a coach, then we'll see the different roles he'll play. And that would be great to see.

Yes his departure to the MLS is a sign that he won't be around much longer and maybe he'll announce his retirement soon, although there are no rumors of that at the moment.
This is the era of youth and young plyers should be able to compete more competitively, and indeed many young players are showing good progress at the moment. Many clubs are promoting young players, and even the price of young players is now very high for a club to bring in.
This will continu and we will see it in the next World Cup.

But the question is will they be able to maintain everything they have shown so far? Because I'm not just one or two times seeing clubs in Ligue 1 lose stability after they play well. That's what I still doubt about them, and actually it's not just them that I doubt, but almost all the clubs here I doubt in maintaining their consistency. I want a league that presents a more interesting competition, and interesting it is not from their inconsistency, because I see more interesting competition now because they show poor consistency.

Well really I agree with you, even though for example they are always firm in their decision to hide their bad habits, but I think eventually it will definitely be found out too, just like a carcass wherever you hide it will smell over time. Honestly, I am also one of the active gamblers and I always hide my bad habits from my family, but gradually when they find out that my finances are reduced, my family can already conclude that I gamble, they can guess that because the environment around me is quite active in gambling, so that's a pretty easy guess.

In addition, changes in attitude can also be an indication and we can find out from there, as we know that those who gamble will definitely change their attitude indirectly, they will be more emotional over time. So of course no matter how you hide your bad habits, eventually you will be found out too, especially by some of the people closest to you such as family. If you are still quite new to gambling then yes just a suggestion maybe it will be able to make them consider that this activity is really not profitable and there will only multiply the problems. So the point is that there is nothing better than quitting, I think that's all.

And I think that's a pretty true saying, I'm sure most of them would admit that this is true. It's not always about winning at gambling but the point is when you have money then a lot of people will approach you including close people and even people we know only occasionally they are very likely to come to borrow money, as you said. I think that even if you don't tell anyone that you have a lot of money it won't completely prevent them from coming, there are many factors that can make them eventually find out.

I also think that it's their right, it's up to them whether or not they want to give to other people including their closest friends, but people don't want to be labeled bad and stingy by their surroundings, so if they have the intention of not giving a little money from their winnings to anyone then they prefer to hide it and not tell anyone. If they announce it but do not give pocket money at all to their friends then surely people will stay away from them because they are already known to be bad and stingy in terms of solidarity.

Well it's true that usually children who are still at the age of 7 - 10 years are very happy when playing games, it's quite easy for them to understand and of course they will get pleasure there. As in general and we also may already know that minors have a very high curiosity about whatever they see, if they only see you gambling I think it won't have much effect because they won't understand what you are doing, unless you force the child to follow your gambling and teach it then it is very possible that the things that are feared will happen, even though they have a high enough curiosity but if there is nothing to encourage them then they will not enter the gambling.

Yes that's right, it's better for you to explain the bad effects that exist in this gambling rather than bringing them to do the same thing, and if you do otherwise then as we know the various negative effects they will feel, such as the downturn that many people have felt.

Yes, maybe the role of a professional can help in this problem, but I don't think it will be completely influential because in essence they will be able to get the cure if they want it for something better. But the problem is that it is very difficult to be able to restore the addicted mindset to normal again, almost all of their thoughts have been instigated in gambling, their expectations are too high so that they always spin in a gambling cycle that never has a limit.

Basically, it is quite difficult to cure someone from gambling addiction, especially if it is at a high level. But that doesn't mean we have to just let it go, we still have to make efforts as the closest person to him or his family, calling those who are already professionals is pretty good, and also in my opinion they as his family should try to provide other activities to that person, just give or invite them to do other activities that are still fun but there is no risk in it,
so that slowly they will be a little distracted from the gambling mind, and well with some advice too of course.

Yes if you can do that it's great, because those who are addicted will be helped a lot by some of your suggestions, but I think for those who are already addicted it might be very difficult, because as we know they have their own mindset in gambling, and obviously their perspective in seeing it is far from normal, in the sense that usually they are too excessive so that they can enter the addiction phase. So for those who are already addicted, maybe you need a lot of time or hard work so that the advice you give them can be accepted well, as you said that they can no longer be advised. It's okay if you want to advise them with the aim of helping because it's quite good, so with you I hope they will consider some of the advice you give especially in the problem of losing.

It's quite difficult but that doesn't mean it's impossible, that way maybe they will realize slowly. And well usually those gamblers who are already addicted must first feel a significant downturn before finally thinking that this is really a bad habit that only causes a lot of problems, so after they experience that I think there is a chance of awareness for them to stop.

Freiburg started this season with a shaky start, they really struggled to be able to make them more consistent in winning points every game. Next week they will face Bochum, this is their chance to be able to secure full points at their own headquarters. The previous match they lost and that will affect their mentality. Bochum is not a very tough club, they are one of the clubs that are at the bottom of the current standings with only 4 points. This is a good opportunity for Freiburg, I hope they can make good use of it.

Yes they should do that, should give their second goalkeeper more chances after Onana's poor form so far. Now the options are not many for them and they must have a firm stance on this. Erik Ten Hag has to do something to turn them around, because I haven't seen anything special from Manchester United so far.
The fact that they let David de Gea leave leaves them with little choice. But it's not good to regret everything, because what they should be thinking about is how they can get up, not necessarily quickly, but slowly but surely.

We'll see how far they will be able to consistently maintain their performances at the beginning of this season. Last season they finished 8th in the final standings, and now they are perched in the top 4, above last season's champions, Napoli. This will only enter week 9, so there are still many matches that will await them ahead, be it against weaker clubs or with stronger clubs.
But so far they have shown a game that can be expected to compete on the board or standings. They just need to give a few touches and also they must be able to be consistent, that is the key.

Xabi is close to Real Madrid, in fact he is one of the longest-serving Real Madrid plyers. I remember when Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, he was one of the supporters of Real Madrid and ran down from the stands when Real Madrid scored.
He's more interested in Real Madrid, I agree with that, he's also been there for a long time and that makes it easy for him to adapt to Real Madrid's conditions. But my question is, will he have the same success as when he was a player at Real Madrid? That's a question that can be answered after he officially becomes Real Madrid coach.

We cannot look at a player's ability from one side only, but we must be able to see how the player contributes to the game in his club. Vini is not a player who scores goals in every game, but his play as a team contributes greatly to Real Madrid. Maybe this season he's also declined a little bit, but slowly he can also slowly find his game again and that's good for a player.
This is also a normal thing, as long as the decline is not for a long time, or in other words, the player can quickly find his game again.

Yes I agree with that, gambling is a very bad risk, gambling can make us addicted periodically and of course the bad effects will be felt for gamblers but it varies, some think about the bad effects, some don't care at all and continue to gamble with the hope of a big win, in my own opinion this gambling can endanger the future and can even damage the future, it's almost the same as drug addiction more or less like that, even though you have a lot of money it's not good to gamble because basically gambling is just spending money in vain.

Everyone knows that if you want to make a lot of money then working hard is the way, but if you think gambling can make a lot of money it is wrong, especially by making gambling the main income, this is very bad but bad and even fatal consequences later even though there are some people who gamble just for fun more or less they have lost their money for gambling. So in conclusion, don't try it if you don't want to ruin your future.
