I'm not sure if Juventus would like to add another striker to the team but they should do that. Because Dybala is leaving the team and Morata's loan contract is ending too. They have Moise Kean too beside Vlahovic but they might not be satisfied with this situation still. I wonder what formation they will use too. If they prefer a formation with two strikers then they will definitely need to bring a decent striker here. If they will prefer one striker then they can delay this striker transfer.

Juventus has a good midfield this season. I believe if they bring in a good attacker it will be the cherry on top for them. I have good hopes from Juventus in the next season and I believe they will be able to deliver. Juventus is going to be really determined to do well because they did not go well in the last season, especially at the start of the season and I believe they will try to start this season in a different manner. But obviously, if the one gets more goals they will have to buy a good striker.

Tottenham soon will met Richarlison agent to talking about his transfer and seems Conte really want him as the alternative for forward position and indeed his performance in Everton looks impressed many teams and Tottenham is one of them who interested to bought him but he is potential player and the price also will be expensive worth to 50 millions pounds but Tottenham have to compete with Chelsea because rumour is Chelsea also interested to buy him if they failed to get Gabriel Jesus from Man City

I think I heard that he is going to go to Tottenham and it is going to cost them 51 million.
The player also dropped a teaser for his move to Tottenham with a photo he uploaded wearing the NBA jersey of spurs.

Tottenham is really thinking hard about how to perform well in the Champions League. But, I highly doubt that they will be able to achieve anything great.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not in the team, and Portugal lost. I am not saying that Portugal played badly. They played very well and attacked a lot. But still they could not able to score. Players are more confident when Ronaldo is in the team, which makes their overall gameplay more beautiful. Although Ronaldo's performance has been poor, Ronaldo's presence in the squad has had a profound effect on Portugal's team performance.
They won the first match against Switzerland 4-0. The Czech Republic won 2-0. And Ronaldo was absent from two matches, and Portugal failed to win both.
Ronaldo is paramount to the party, so no Ronaldo, no party! A few days ago, Portugal beat the same Switzerland by 4-0 scoreline, but now Portugal cannot beat the same Switzerland team. Switzerland is nothing to be underestimated, and they seized the opportunity when Ronaldo was absent. It is the result that counts, not how you play the game. I am sorry for Portugal.

The Portuguese team has become heavily dependent on Ronaldo. Apart from Ronaldo, there are many other talented players in the Portugal team. They should be more confident. Reducing dependence on Ronaldo. It is not possible to get good performance from the team in the long run if you depend on a particular player. So the Portuguese players must reduce their dependence on Ronaldo, at the same time be more confident. Otherwise they will not be able to perform well in the World Cup.

For me, Guardiola's qualifications are still in great doubt - in Barcelona he came to the legacy of Rijkaard (where there were already the greatest players), won something and after he was beaten by Mourinho (many thought that Real would start a long domination) fled. Then he came to the already magnificent Bavaria, which had only one task: to win the Champions League. Failed. Then City with endless purchases, the most expensive team in the most expensive league. Yes, he has victories, but do they speak of his qualifications? It seems to me that the results that he achieved are highly expected in relation to the conditions that he had.

Yes, I agree with all the things that were mentioned about him. But I still believe that he should be given a little more time. I think he is still a good coach and if he had a little more attacking flexibility he could have come out with a win against Real Madrid in the Champions League. So, he should be given time for at least one more season and after that, if he fails to prove his worth then these things will make a lot more sense.

Indeed, in this case it seems that Barcelona will only issue De Jong at almost the same price when he was brought to the Camp Nou but this seems to be difficult because the price does not seem to match his current performance.
On the other hand, at this time, MU also seems to be increasingly interested in making Van De Beek the main choice now that the Rangnick Era and Ole's Era have been wasted.

De Jong seems to be a better choice for Manchester United than Van De Beek. De Jong may not have assisted too many goals last season. But he has cooperated very well in the needs of the team. He is very talented. And I think he will be able to adapt easily to Manchester United. Van De Beek, on the other hand, had a lot of trouble adjusting to the Manchester United players. Despite the change of coach, the squad remains almost the same.

Glad to hear that FIFA dismissed the complaint from Chile. But the fact that Byron Castillo represented Ecuador despite his Colombian citizenship is a serious misjudgment from the part of the Federación Ecuatoriana de Fútbol. FIFA is very strict as far as the eligibility criteria for players is considered. But at this point, I don't think that it is fair to disqualify a team from the World Cup, even if one of the players is ineligible to represent the national team. Why punish the entire team, for one player not revealing his foreign passport? 
It is a delicate matter and needs to be addressed by the Fifa with a appropriate punishment for player and national team. The team should be professional and thorough enough to verify passports and citizenship of their players before letting them play in important games. Of course the player should also be punished in some form, but I agree that it would be inappropriate to question the world cup qualification entirely
At this point, FIFA didn't found any evidence in support of the wild claim by Chile. Their internal investigation found that Byron Castillo is a legal citizen of Ecuador and he doesn't have a Colombian passport. I don't know from where the Chileans got the information that he was originally born in Colombia. In the end, they made a laughing stock of themselves in front of the entire world. If anyone who needs to be punished at this point, then it is going to be the Federación de Fútbol de Chile (FFCh).

They just reported the claim without any strong evidence and this was obviously based on just some wild guess. They should have dug deeper before making any claims like that and now they are the laughing stock.

I also agree that they actually should probably be punished. But, I also don't think that will be a good solution. Honestly, I think we should just leave it at that. No point in making this thing a larger issue than it already is.

This has to be a lesson to the other players who will abandon their country to play for a foreign country ..no body wants to play for there Africa team rather they want to play there ..

Good one, this is exactly why we advocate for more previous footballers to get involved in the politics of football. It just doesn't make sense when someone that doesn't know anything about football (haven't played or coach) for a club before take charge as president. Politics shoudn't be brought into football, they should be two different entity and we will begin seeing results. Right now, this can't happen in Nigeria as everyone seems to have a slots on who they want to be in the national team, which make it very difficult to the coaches.

Samuel Etoo knows what's best for his nation, we have to stop worshipping this foreign players. If I remember currently, Dennis from Watford refused to play for Nigeria at the AFCON and he was given a slots for the current qualifiers and that of the Qatar (World cup). Things like this make foreign based players feel they're get away with anything but that shouldn't be so.

This is a good decision taken by Samuel Eto'o. He wanted to make a statement that a player needs to be committed and also learn how to respect football. You cannot touch hop around from one team to another like it is club football. This is absolutely a bold decision taken by Samuel Eto'o. I think this will have an effect on how foreign-based players are treated worldwide, they will also understand that they cannot just get away with anything they do.

Honestly, it seems to me that Mourinho’s time has passed and that he is no longer a top coach with new ideas, as he was 10 years ago at his peak.
I think there are a lot better coaches than him right now, more innovative and modern, like Guardiola or Klopp.
There is another problem with Zidane. While coaching Real Madrid he achieved great results in the Champions League, but not so much because of the system or the game plan, but more based on the individual quality of the players.
That’s why he was much worse with Real in the Spanish football league and doesn’t have a lot of Spanish league titles.
I’m not sure they’re a good choice for PSG.

I wonder how Klopp's innovativeness manifests itself in your opinion? His team plays the same football as 5 and 10 years ago.
As for Guardiola, I can't think of anything about him that would make him stand out among hundreds of other coaches. His only "innovation" is to get a top team and take titles with it - Barcelona then Bayern with which he could not win the Champions League and now City which spend space money on football players but again he cannot win the Champions League.

I don't think that only winning the Champions League should suggest the quality of a coach. But in this case, exceptions can be made because Pep Guardiola has a very good team playing under him.
I really think that he should have won the Champions League this time with Manchester City. But they have lost to Real Madrid which absolutely can be said did not have a very good squad, hope they will be able to do better in the next season.

I think Lewandowski is not just great at positioning, but finding that angle for a good shot. Everyone at the very top level (and I mean like mane, Lewandowski levels) could make the shots Lewa can, but not everyone can see it clearly, others may need a few more seconds to see that, whereas Lewa does it with instincts, which is why he is capable of scoring such goals, because he sees the best angle to shoot even before the ball comes to him.

Mane is good, don't get me wrong he is very good, like top level player, but Lewa is something else, Lewa is the top of the top names, Ballon D'or levels of amazing player that Bayern can't replace whoever they got, only a few names can compare.

Robert Lewandowski is a natural finisher, his accuracy is just unbelievable. Most of the time he is in the right place at the right time. And if he has some good supplier in the midfield there is nothing to worry about for the team.

But, if we compare Mane with Lewandowski I think it is not going to be a fair comparison because Lewandowski plays as a center-forward meanwhile Mane plays as a left-winger.

So, it is understandable why Robert Lewandowski gets a lot more goals but even after saying that I don't think Robert Lewandowski and Mane are at the same level. And I agree that Lewandowski is something else. Smiley

Normally Messi-Mbappe-Neymar trio must perform really great but they haven't met the demands of the supporters surely. Mbappe himself is awesome but the other two weren't that much last season. I didn't even see Neymar playing properly last season. He must play more than this to contribute more to the team. Messi's contribution level was also not too high but I hope he will perform better next time. This is very crucial for the Champions League especially.
Mbappe has no issue in last season. Neymar has issues with injuries and his body weight since the Coppa America. Messi has issues because of very limited training time before beggining of last season. He was lack of enough time to adapt go a new club, new mates, new tactics etc. He also was lack of luck because many shots rejected by goal bars and goal pillars, not only rejected by goalkeepers.

In a new season, I guess Mbappe and Messi will play well and better especially Messi. For Neynar, I don't know and if rumour is real, Neymar will leave the club sooner or later because Mbappe does not want to share his super star position in the club with Neymar especially after his new contract with PSG.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappé doesn't have any problems with each other. Because that is going to cause more problems for the team. Under these circumstances, the team does not need any new problems to deal with right now.

As far as I say this PSG really has this season to prove themselves otherwise it is going to be bad news for them. After the last season, I already thought people are not going to watch PSG play at all and the famous players are going to leave PSG but they somehow managed to keep the players and still maintain a decent squad. So, this is their last chance.

Manchester United will join the race for Poland striker Robert Lewandowski should the 33-year-old's dream move to Barcelona fail to come off, with the Spanish giants attempting to move on some of their high earners. What’s going on here, I thought Barcelona and Lewandowski had agreed on everything?

Paris St-Germain are also interested in Lewandowski, who has one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich. Lewandowski becomes the story of the day.  Grin Which club he will choose in the end?

Chelsea are also preparing to enter the race to sign Lewandowski, but cannot make a move until they sell 29-year-old Belgium striker and £97.5m club-record buy Romelu Lukaku. Who's next?  Grin

Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement to buy 22-year-old Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica and are preparing the paperwork to compete a deal worth £85m.
The deal means Senegal striker Sadio Mane, 30, is edging closer to a move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich. So, it seems that everything has been agreed here, Nunez is coming and Mane is leaving.
Chelsea have been given a transfer boost after Barcelona confirmed France winger Ousmane Dembele, 25, has not signed a new contract offer. Will Dembele really go to Chelsea?

France midfielder Paul Pogba, 29, will return to Juventus on a four-year deal worth £68m following his departure from Manchester United. So, in the end, Juve and not PSG?

I don't see Lewandowski going into Barcelona with the type of money that Barcelona has right now. Any English Premier League team is going to be ahead in the race of getting Lewandowski compared to Barcelona.

I don't think Chelsea is going to be very interested in Robert Lewandowski. I think they have other plans in mind, Chelsea is really trying to keep Lukaku because they have basically got nothing from the 97 million that they have spent for this player and they are obviously not willing to let him go without getting anything out of him.

Liverpool has started the procedure of getting ready for the departure of Mane. And I think that transfer is proof of it.

Paul Pogba is going to play better at Juventus. Probably we will see this player playing better along with his team.

De Jong will be a bone of contention for any club, Manchester United do need players like him. For a De Jong who can be more attractive in terms of boosting Manhcester United performance. Even with the Milinkovic-Savic alternative, I think De Jong is still above him.
De Jong is a good player but I think United can find better. From better I mean someone who can turn out strong and even better after gaining experience and  getting good training. Reason I am saying this is because I don't like the price tag for which United is trying to acquire De Jong as we have seen lot of big transfers failing for United recently. United wouldn't want another one.

de Jong is a very talented player. If Manchester United decide to sign De Jong at a higher price, I don't think they will suffer. Manchester United should now look for a player who will be able to coordinate quickly with the United team. There is no shortage of talented players in the United team. But the bond between the players is very weak.

From nowhere Shadab Khan came and made 86 to rescue Pakistan. Once again, Pakistan recovered well. Remember they were 117 for 5 wickets down and they end up 269, which is a big recovery. Remember this is a 48 over match which makes this total more competitive.
Pakistan should win his match now easily unless we see any miracle from the West Indies team.

Is the target of 270 runs enough to win? The performance of West Indies batsmen is very irregular due to the ODI format. However, there are many talented players in their squad. And so if the Pakistani bowlers do not perform well, Pakistan will not be able to win this match. We saw the poor performance of the West Indies in the second match. But their batsmen played very well in the first match. So if Pakistan wants to win then the bowlers have to perform well.

I remember when Poland played against Belgium... Then they also scored in the first half and took the lead, but then disaster happened... Grin Bookmakers are now giving a juicy 2.6 odds on the Netherlands win... Judging by the kicking statistics, you can take advantage of that... Although the Belgian feat may not be repeated, but I think the Netherlands will win this game...
The Netherlands is now trailing 2-0 against Poland. I thought the Netherlands would win very easily. Because in the last match, the Polish team lost to Belgium by a huge margin of 6-1. At the same time, the Netherlands squad has talented players like De Jong and Depay. Despite trailing 2-0, the Dutch players still dominated the match.

You are right. The dominance of the Dutch players in the match is going to be very well realized. Poland led 1-0 at the end of the first half. And with another goal early in the second half, Poland took a 2-0 lead. The Netherlands scored their first goal in the 51st minute, and another goal just 3 minutes later to make it 2-2. The chances of the Netherlands winning are still high.

Chelsea don't really needed to hurriedly sign new players, Tuchel will review and study the transfer market
before scouting for a quality replacement for Rudiger there is rumour of bidding for Presnel Kimpembe PSG defender as a possible replacement for Rudiger and their new owners had reportedly budgeted £200million for signing of quality players, there is no cause for alarm, I believe Chelsea scouts and Tuchel are doing their job and working behind the scene to bring or sign in new players who will improve the club.

Chelsea is definitely looking for talented players. But Chelsea management doesn't buy players by spending extra money on needs. My guess is that they will check the market, and pick the right player for the team at the lowest cost. And so there are very few rumours about which players are interested in joining the Chelsea team. Tuchel is a very experienced coach. I think next season he will take all the necessary steps to strengthen the Chelsea team.

As a result of a dream chase by Miller and van der Dussen, the host team lost to the Indians despite setting a big target. Killer Miller literally destroyed their IPL mates thanks to their pathetic bowling. India's bowling card is poor due to ignoring its mainstream bowlers. They select a poor bowling selection. The decisions Pant makes demonstrate his immaturity as a captain. Only Rohit Sharma will lead India at the World Cup. In his team, he will have Bumrah and Shami, and I am anticipating a good outing.
The performance of Indian bowlers was very uncontrollable. South Africa lost their first wicket in the third over and their collection was 26 at the end of 3rd overs. At the end of 5 overs, South Africa lost only 1 wicket and collected 60 runs. If Bhumrah had been in the Indian squad, then perhaps the performance of the Indian bowlers would have been a little better. If the bowlers fail to perform well in the next match too, then India will lose again.
Bowlers are surely to be blamed as non of them were able to stop the run chase. Spinners were also useless on the pitch. The fielding of the Indian side was not that good too. Shreyas Iyer dropping an easy catch, if taken it might would have changes the game. Very disappointed with the overall performance of the Indian side.

I think the Indian player was overconfident after giving a huge target of 212 runs. And so we didn't see their fielding bowling as expected. A catch drop in these types of important matches can change the entire match situation. Indian bowlers need to be more responsible. Otherwise they will not be able to win this series.

Portugal again won in the UEFA Nations League tournament over the Czech Republic. A 2-0 win at Estadio Jose Alvalade put Portugal in the lead of Group 2. The Czech Republic had to drop to 3rd as Spain won over Switzerland which took the points to 5.

Portugal's performance against the Czech Republic was very good. The Czechs have been in very good form lately. Their performance in the last few matches is very commendable. And so it is definitely challenging for Portugal to win this match. However, the performance of every defender of Portugal, including Bernardo de Silva, was performing brilliantly.

Spain effort to avoid an unwanted result was achieved thanks to Pablo Sarabia only goal in the 13th minute. There are tasks that must be improved by L. Enrique for the good of the Spanish national team, one of which lies in the front line based on the 3 matches they have played.

The condition of the Switzerland team is very bad now. They have lost all three matches in a row. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho's Spain, is very tactful. They played defensively after scoring in the 13th minute and secured a 1-0 victory.

Lewandowski will contribute a lot to Barcelona, he plays much better than most people despite his advanced age and I think his performance is still pretty good. But Barcelona's financial strength is still not good and I don't think they can budget too much for an old football player like Lewandowski.
Instead of Lewandowski, a younger player who can play for Barcelona for many years can be preferred Smiley
His age has indeed continued but when he was on the field Lewandowski was like 24 years old. Lewandowski is indeed the target of Barcelona to strengthen Barcelona front line in the next season. Barcelona finances are currently experiencing a crisis and become an obstacle for them to complete a deal with Bayern Munich. But the point of this meeting is still not certain and I think Barcelona will continue to maintain communication with Bayern Munich.

Barcelona already has a lot of strikers. Yet Xavi wants Lewandowski in the squad to strengthen his squad. In this situation, I think the Barcelona management may decide to sell players like Dembele to sign Lewandowski. Dembele's performance in Barcelona was not good. Barcelona are looking to bring in Lewandowski, who also need more experienced players to strengthen their defence. Barcelona now need a big fund to strengthen the team.
