there is no clear confirmation regarding Ronaldo contract extension, but if we look at Ronaldo comfort at Al Nassr, he does not have any problems, even other players can also appreciate Ronaldo there and on the one hand, several european players who come to accompany Ronaldo, like Mane, are also one of the things that makes the reason why Ronaldo feels at home at Al Nassr and this is quite convincing if Ronaldo will continue to extend his contract at Al Nassr with an increase in salary, maybe.
With the way he's performing and helping the team to achieve success I think they'll be forced to extend his contract regardless of his age, Ronaldo is a player with much Ambition and always work hard to give his best he might be older and not being able to play like he used to but he's not totally lost everything, he's still very good at finishing and that's what Al-Nassr needs to be a the top, a good finisher that would help them in getting good finishes.
 
 And with the likes of Mane and several other top players built around Ronaldo it would make it even more easier for him I be very successful at the club this season,and I believe he'll love to remain in the club where he's loved and supported by the fans and entire league.

You used past tense in place of future tense such that I got confused and began to search the threads were it was discussed that Manchester United has sacked Erik Ten Hang. Manchester United should not conceive of sacking Erik Ten hang because he is not the problem of Manchester United. If Manchester United insists and sack Erik Ten Hang, their problems will be like that of Chelsea who is always changing coaches.

Manchester United management needed to release money to get quality players to Manchester United. Since the last 5 season's or so, there have been many average players in Manchester United. You honestly cannot use average players to compete with Manchester city, Arsenal and Liverpool. Let alone the risen stars like Brighton and Newcastle United.
I believe it was a typo error cause it got me confused too, well most Manchester United fans are not yet convinced that Erik Ten Hag could take them back to their glory days, even after their performance last season and even winning trophy for them, maybe it could be due to the poor stats this season and inconsistentcy, but it would break their heart that the board don't have any plans of handing him the sack letter and are patient enough to support the project this season.

 The major problem of Manchester United is the club owners glaziers and their incompetency in handling the club if they had invested I the right areas and bought good players then Erik Ten Hag won't be having issues with player selections or decision making, well there's a rumor that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has upted his game and is currently ahead in the takeover process, however majority of fans would prefer Sheikh Jassim to win the takeover process.

I think the problem does lie with Rudi Garcia, because it seems Rudi Garcia does not have a good way to build good chemistry and harmonization with players. Therefore, the board also cannot just be silent to deal with this problem because problems like this will certainly have a bad impact on team performance. Although yes, at least I still think that there is no problem about the application of strategy and tactics. But somehow, Napoli fans and players are not too happy with Rudi Garcia, so they want to get Rudi Garcia fired and replaced with others.
Exactly, that's also my thought about the current ongoing situation at Napoli, the whole problem lies with their new manager Rudi Garcia cause he lack the quality of good connection with his players, their former manager Spalletti managed an almost similar squad and they performed brilliant and even won the Scudetto, so Garcia not doing well currently means that he's not doing the right thing or is incapable of managing the club.

 However the club owners had talks with Antonio Conte concerning taking over as the manager of the club, but according to the news the talks they had didn't produce good results cause Antonio Conte refers starting afresh next summer instead of taking over from Rudi Garcia, this is a boost for Rudi to work hard and impress the board and fans to gain their support again and retain his managerial role.

Wow it looks like you're preparing for this Barcelona and Real Madrid clash on the weekend of this month. Do you support either of these two el clasico teams my friend, if you ask me I am a real madrid supporter.

This match is indeed held at Barcelona's home ground at the Camp Nou stadium which should give Barcelona more luck in this match, but if we look at the performance of both teams fairly, I see that the development brought by Ancelotti is far significant lately in every match, unlike Barcelona which looks more stagnant in performance.
This season's El Classico is going to be very interesting based on the both teams performance and the upgrade in their squad depth, I'm not a fan of both clubs but my support goes to Realmadrid due to their star player Jude Bellingham, I love his style of play and how he's flatly adapted into his new club and has turnout to be very outstanding and even beat Cr7's record of goal-scoring and assists in his 1st 10 games for the club, I can't wait to see his performance in the El Classico if he'll  be able to score and help his team to claim the 3 points against Barcelona.

 However Barcelona is a team that's equal to the task as well, they're the only major threat Realmadrid has in winning the Laliga trophy and also got top quality players that would make the El Classico look more interesting this season, i bet it's going to be like a UCL finals.

Yes, I also have the same assumption as you, Dortmund's performance at the beginning of the season did not look too promising, they were still below the top five in the standings, but as time went by it could not be predicted that it turned out that they could now crawl up to enter the top five and now their position is in fourth place in the standings, honestly I think this is quite consistent, last season they were the only team that gave strong resistance to Bayern Munich, always chasing in the race for the top of the standings but well as we know they were not lucky enough so that the trophy was again won by Tuchel's squad. For the problem of the business of selling players that they always go through, honestly I will not fully say that it does not interfere, obviously the entry and exit of players is quite a heavy task and of course they need time to start adapting, and I think that adaptation is a tough task for Dortmund, that's why sometimes they are difficult to appear consistent, but well it's not always like that and now Dortmund have proven that they are able to rise to join the title race as usual.

Yes, maybe the business activities that they always do are one of their goals to keep their finances stable and also of course with a little profit, that's possible.
You're right they started very poorly but currently they've picked up and are doing well, currently they're in the 4th place on the table and are having same points with Bayern Munchen who're in the 3rd place, with just 2 points separating them from the league leaders Leverkusen, just like last season Dortmund are very strong contenders, though they're not very strong like they were last season due to the lose of their star player Jude Bellingham, if he were still in the club I believe they would had been in a better position and probably win all their matches so far.

 They're still one of the team that's kept an unbeaten record so far and if not for the 2 draws they had they would had probably been at the top of the league, Dortmund are doing fine and are on the right track in their domestic league but have a very poor performance in the UCl and I doubt if they'll move to the next round.

Many people are too focused on Harry Kane that they don't pay attention to the potential that Guirassy has and to be honest I haven't paid much attention to this player, so far Stuttgart have improved rapidly this season and one of them is probably all thanks to Guirassy who has contributed a lot to Stuttgart because has created many goals for Stuttgart.

.
If you look at the comparison that occurred with VFB Stuttgart this season, of course they were able to show a better performance compared to last season. Last season, VfB Stuttgart closed the season in 16th place, which could be said to have done worse last season. But this season we have seen a lot of development happen to them and Guirassy's shine in Stuttgart's front line means they can compete at the top of the standings this season. But with quite brilliant achievements this season, I hope that the Stuttgart players will not be complacent with their achievements because there are many matches that they have to focus on carefully.

 There are 2 teams really suprised everyone this season in the Bundesliga and they're Stuttgart and Leverkusen especially Stuttgart, Leverkusen's case is understanding based on the manager in control and the good quality players they introduced to the squad this season but Stuttgart don't have much top players in their squad but I doing very fine and are even above the title contenders Bayern Munich in the league.

 So  far they only lost 1 game in 7 matches and won the rest 6, that's a very impressive stats an it's a good thing they've started very well and if they maintain this form till the middle of the league or beyond, even if they start being inconsistent in winning they might manage to finish among the top 7 and play in the conference league or Europa, well there player Guirassy is currently in a good shape and is currently the highest goal scorer having scored about 13 goals so far, his performance is being noticed by big teams and by next summer they could be at Stuttgart doorstep to get him.

It's amazing how Girona have been performing this season. No one would have imagined that this team would be at the top of the La Liga table. Out of 9 matches they won 7 matches and lost only one match they are playing very well. But I doubt whether the team can maintain such consistency. I watched Girona's performance against Real Madrid. They don't play well and it's very difficult for teams like Girona to maintain consistency. Only Madrid and Barcelona have been able to play consistently well in La Liga. However, Girona have a good chance of finishing in the top four of the table.
 They really suprised everyone this season by getting this far, I didn't expect them to be in the top 3 in Laliga currently, they're even above Barcelona in the table, so far the only team that's beaten them this season is Realmadrid and it was expected, if not they would had been in the 1st if they had  won that game, winning 7 games out of 9 with 1 lose and a draw is a very good stats.

 However I doubt as well if they'll be able to be consistent, cause sooner or later several teams would begin to face injury crisis due to fatigue and other things that affect players and I don't think they've got a quality squad depth with good substitutions that would be able to cover their star players when they get injured and that's one of the reasons that could make them drop form.

seeing that he is now almost 40 years old, of course he will thinks about continuing his career in the Saudi Pro League untils he really retires because it can be feared that if he continues to get old it will be difficult to maintain his strength continuously and he will need a break from the world of football.
Ronaldo will continue to be remember even though his career in footballs will end because he has becomed a big starts in world footballs competition.


Ronaldo is currently 38 years old, and in February he will be older. This means that Ronaldo is getting older in his football career.  However, in Asia there are many foreign players who are still playing even though they are 40 years old. Apart from that, there are not many choices for Ronaldo other than staying with Al Nassr. After all, he currently plays center forward and is only the Target Man as a goal scoring machine. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem, even though as you get older, performance declines will occur.


Ronaldo is a typical example of the saying that hardwork pays, he's not getting any younger but is working very hard and he's actually the best finisher in the league even playing better than youngster in the same position as him,however age would definitely tell on everyone no matter how much you train to be very fit and gradually telling on Ronaldo cause he's declined in his skills,,pace, crosses and even free kicks and would definitely not be able to play in the full-time.

 But what I love about him is that he never gives up and works very hard to achieve success and since he's declined in several other aspect of the game he's channeled al his energy into his foot to be getting good finishes that's made him the highest goal scorer in the league currently.

Particularly difficult problem for Les Parisiens this season, also other clubs. Committing a consistent winning performance is hugh problem. If they still are interested in competing for the Ligue One crown this season, they should be in good shape. Perhaps there will be good competition for the tile from other competitive teams. Paris Saint-Germain have no financial concerns; their biggest issue is their inability to compete in elite competitions. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is anxious to improve his club this coming season, but how will he do it when there is nothing to be optimistic about?
They're gradually turning into a big team with big problems this season, they got the finance, strengthened their club to an extent and even got a world class manager with a champions league experience but are still finding it difficult to win against smaller teams and are underperforming in both the Ligue 1 and in the UCL, they've encountered several embarrassing defeat this season and I think Luis Enrique has a lot of work to do to put his team on track again.
 
 I think the competition for the Ligue is getting tough and it's becoming interesting because very soon PSG might Lose dominance in the league especially when Mbappé finally leaves the club which could be possible next summer and it might be very tough for PSG to get a suitable replacement for him.

We can't deny that Man City gets difficulty to optimize their performance without De Bruyne and Rodri. These players have a big role to keep the balance of Man City squad, both in attacking and in defense. When Man City has De Bruyne in their lineups, Man City must have many shot attempts. De Bruyne created the opportunities for scoring. And when they have Rodri in their lineups, it is not easy to attack Man City because Rodri breaks the opposite's attack. In the match against Arsenal, no players can replace the roles of these players. That's why Arsenal was easier to attack and created more shot attempts. Finally, they scored 1 goal although it may be called as a lucky goal. However, there will be no goal if Arsenal didn't try many efforts.

Well, it was not the first time Man City got a defeat. Before Man City was defeated by Arsenal, Man City also got a defeat on the match against Wolves. So, we couldn't say that Arsenal only won because they were lucky.


Well it's obvious that the absence of two players Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi has contributed to their poor performance and this should let Pep Guardiola to know that the team still needs strengthening, he Ned's to send scouts to search for players that would cover up for those above mentioned ones in cases like this, however Rodri could be in the line up after the break to face Brighton, atleast it would be able to reduce the pressure mounted on the team until the return of Kelvin Debruyne.
 
  Well I knew they would find it very tough to win against Arsenal based on Arsenal's current performance and home advantage but it was the match against Wolverhampton that got me suprised cause I expected them to comfortably beat Wolves after their defeat in the EFL tournament against Newcastle, Pep Guardiola needs to do everything possible to make sure they win against Brighton if not their confidence level would reduce very bad.
3091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 12, 2023, 08:11:33 PM

Napoli have never been favourites for the title in Serie A. It is true that they played well last season. The performances of teams like Juventus and Inter Milan were very poor. Napoli, on the other hand, have played consistently well. So the team has no problem winning the title. But this season I don't think Napoli are favourites for the title. And I have already got the proof. Napoli's performance is unstable as usual. Another reason for Napoli not being champions is that Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are in very good form. And I guess only one of these three teams will be champions this time.
Rudi Garcia's match strategy is not good. He is not able to boost the confidence of the players. Napoli are scoring plenty of goals but still their overall performance is unstable.
Last season they were really really brilliant last season but they've become a shadow of themselves this season and are performing very poor and losing matches they should be winning very easily, if they continue to be inconsistent till the middle of the season then I don't think they'll be able to defend the title or even finish in the top four, if they're performing poorly against smaller teams then I wonder how they perform when they face teams like Inter, Milan or Juve.

 So far The three teams mentioned above are the best performing and I think this season's Champion would be any of them, i would be very suprise ìf Napoli would be able to defend their title under Rudi Garcia cause his game plan is not helping them to move forward, and he's not even in good relationship with some of the top playees in the team so i wonder how he would be able to boost their confidence.

There are several names currently being linked as Ancellotti's replacement in the Madrid chair. Xabi could be one of the candidates especially since he also  has a strong attachment to Madrid because he was one of the players who brought Madrid to the championship before he left and his position was replaced by Kroos at that time. But on the other hand it could be that he will also continue at L
For Klopp too, this will only be speculation, especially with last season they had to be evicted out of the top 4 in domestic competition, so I think Klopp will try to prove himself more at Liverpool.
Based on Xabi current performance alot Realmadrid's fans would be hoping they bring him into the club as a replacement for Ancelotti, well I think he's the rightful candidate mentioned so far cause he's doing better than other currently and I hope he remains consistent till the league ends so the board would have no option but appointment him as the next manager of their team, Xabi is still very young and vibrant and if he's successful in his first season or more, would serve Madrid for a long term.

 Well I don't see Klopp leaving liverpool soon, he might had been unfortunate last season but his performance is very impressive this season and I believe he'll qualify for the top 4 unlike last season where he managed to finish in the top 6, however based on his current performance I don't think there would be need for a replacement for him yet.

Even though Sevilla have not won a single match from the two group stage matches, I am sure that Arsenal will never easily beat them at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. I do remember how strong Sevilla were last season in Europe until they knocked out Manchester United, so Arsenal need to be wary of losing instead of being confident of winning.

I think Sevilla can get points in their home game against Arsenal regardless of whether it is 1 point or 3 points. If the match ends in a draw, then of course that's fair, but if Arsenal loses then I think that's really bad for Arsenal. Favorites to win are Arsenal, but Sevilla should not be underestimated at home.
Obviously because Sevilla are not a small club in the Laliga and if not for the financial crisis they're undergoing , I believe they would had got better players and be in a very good performance this season, moreover they've had a good record against England teams especially Manchester united  therefore I'm eager to see how they'll do against Arsenal his season, I'm pretty sure they'll be looking to score early goals and part the bus till the end of the match, cause I they leave their defense line open Arsenal got good frontline that would run them down.

 There's a possibility that the game could end up in a draw bit I still believe Arsenal would win the game, not like ìm underestimating Sevilla but I'm judging the outcome of the match based on Arsenal's current performance,my prediction is that it would end in 1-3 in favour of Arsenal.
3094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 12, 2023, 04:34:43 PM
Honestly, there are no other teams in the league to actually compete head-to-head with Real Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid has been showing good performances recently, I just do not trust them to be consistent enough. Barcelona needed to win every easy match that they had. But they were not able to win those matches. Actually, Barcelona is not performing well, to be honest. When you need to defend the league title, you really need to be consistent. And you need to be more consistent when you know that you do not have too much power in your squad.

I wonder why people think Barcelona's performance this season is bad, cause they're not 1st on the table, well they're the only team in the Laliga that's unbeaten and even Realmadrid and Girona that's currently above them have each lost 1 match so far, even in the UCL competition they're performing very brilliantly and top the group H table currently, so cause they're not toping the league doesn't mean they're not doing fine, atleast they're 3rd on the table with 21points with just 3 points difference between them and Madrid.

 The league is still very far before it comes to an end and where they're currently on the table I must say they're doing fine, they just have to be more careful not to drop more points and widen the gap between them and Realmadrid,  they still remain strong contenders of the league and would definitely overthrown Girona in their position on the standings.

I can say that not having a full team is an excuse. Just noticing it since Rodri and De Bruyne are absent they lost some matches the problem is not even De Bruyne if Rodri is on the match against Arsenal I can say he will be very hard for them to defeat Manchester City, when they give Rodri red card all the three matches they play they lose it, they are defeated against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and wolves and Arsenal in the Premier League so I can say is and excuse for losing against Arsenal, I am confident that Manchester City will overcome them in the second leg since their squad is in terrific health, De Bruyne is injured, and Haaland is not doing well because most of his goals last season were assisted by De Bruyne.

Arsenal is performing well this season, but if they are compared to Manchester City, Arsenal has not defeated them in 5 years. They had luck last week because Manchester City was not fully prepared for the match. If Arsenal can defeat Manchester City in the second leg, I will believe that Arsenal is stronger than ever before, let see if they will try and win the league trophy this season, and Liverpool are coming up they are performing well this season.
Well I said that with reasons that Arsenal had a better game plan than them and also performed very well if you saw the build up of Arsenal players before the goal came in you'll noticed their players were  well positioned waiting and ready to create better chances of getting the ball into the net, they didn't allow Mancity players to pressure them much they fought back and created good chances, well City also created good chances in the 1st half and if they had worked harder on the pitch I believe they would had won cause they squad that Pep picked matched Arsenal's squad even without Rodri and Debruyne.

 However this is the 2nd time Arsenal is winning them this season in a different competition, remember they won City with their complete squad that includes Kelvin Debruyne and Rodi so that's no excuse cause Arsenal played without Bukoya Saka.

They have been very inconsistent. And that is the best thing that I can say about them right now. Freiburg should have performed better compared to what they have done so far.  But the next match should give them some confidence.  They are going to play against Bochum in the next match. Knowing that they are going to play against a team that has not been able to win a single match so far  in this season is certainly going to give them confidence.  But the problem is Freiburg has not been able to consistently score goals so far in this season. I hope they will be able to score in their next match.
Well other teams are better than them in performance and that's why they're 9th place in the table with about 10 points from 3 loses, 1 draw and 3 wins in 7 games and if they work hard enough to do their they could move up to 7th or 6 positions,  however in their last match before the international break which was against Bayern Munich, I didn't expect them to win Bayern Munich at home, nor even a draw cause I know Bayern Munich defenders  wouldn't give them any chace in the match and that's how it happened.

 Well in their next game against Bochum I think they stand a fair chance to win against another mediocre team like them and who are in the relegation  zone, well Frieburg are currently performing better than them and would definitely win the match and get a chance of going top

Though Rudi Garcia has been unable to replicate the same feat his predecessor achieved last season, I think it'll be too early to show him the exit door from the being Napoli's manager. The French professional football manager took over the managerial role at Napoli after the club's former manager Luciano Spalletti left the club few days after winning the Italian Serie A title for the club. Rudi Garcia I think isn't a terrible manager and deserves to be given more time at the club to prove himself.
The new season is just past three months and there's every possiblity that Garcia's Napoli might come back to winning ways again.
Well everyone has there opinion but if I were Rudi Garcia I would resign before it gets to the point of the board offering me a sack letter, cause even if the board pardon him,some of the players are going to get him sacked, especially the top players of the club that's not in a good relationship with the coach, it obvious that he can't control them in the dressing and when there's a disconnection between a coach and most of the star players in the team, it would affect the whole team's performance cause they'll won't obey the coaches instructions on the pitch.
 
 Well there's talk over potential replacement for his role and if the talks are true it could mean that Rudi Garcia's time at the club is soon coming to an end and the board are becoming impatient about his poor performance and inconsistentcy and could not allow him continue his managerial role till the end of this season.

He was a top quality player from his day's in France and he is growing into a warrior for Real Madrid. A player who can play any position the coach asks him to play.
He along other Madrid stars are important for the future now they will need understanding as they have learnt from Luka Modric and Krooss.
Valverde was also given contract extension he is a good part of Madrid's bone marrows. They are willing to kill for the badge.  They deserve it.
Realmadrid is a club that loves to invest in their future and they always select good youngsters to replace departing older talents and its been favorable to them over the years and that's why they've been so successful, for instance they replaced Casemiro with Camavinga, Marcelo with Mendy and even bale and Cr7 with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo and I believe they'll soon get a better youngsters that would replace Benzema, which they're currently working on.

 However Camavinga is a very good player, he's top notch at his position and is also versatile and has been used at the left back area when Mandy was injured and he played the role very well one thing i like about him is that he's strong and would last Realmadrid for a long term, Madrid players are very unique and they always work had as a team to be sure it succeeds especially in the Champions league that they've won more than every other teams in Europe.

I do not know  the disagreement between the President of Napoli and former Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti because he left the club just too soon.
He had a good understanding with his players which he failed the first season with only for Ac Milan to come from behind and win the Seria A.
So far Conte has been silent about any of the offers we have read given to him as a replacement for Rudi Garcia. So far Garcia remains but it is clear Napoli management are on the look out for his replacement.
I think they made a very big mistake by allowing Luciano Spalletti resign from his managerial role in the club without persuading him to stay or sorting out any issues they had to keep him in the club, it's just like City letting Pep Guardiola leave and signing Potter or Lampard as his replacement, It's never going to work or even helped the team move forward rather it would even destroy the good records Pep has kept for the club, Rudi Garcia wasn't the rightful person for the job and I'm still wondering what made them to pick I'm as a replacement for Spalletti.

 They need to do away with Rudi Garcia immediately if they want to secure a champions league position this season cause not qualifying would drag the club  backwards and they'll be forced to sell some of their key players to clubs that would offer them champions league football.

Manchester City's squad was indeed incomplete when they lost to Arsenal, but should that be the main reason why Manchester City lost and failed to score? I don't agree if the absence of Rodri and De Bruyne is the only cause of Manchester City's defeat, in fact they still have many other quality players such as Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Mateo Kovačić, and many others in the main line-up.

Manchester City's main problem in that match was that they failed to create many chances compared to Arsenal. The match statistics are almost the same, but Arsenal has more chances to score than Manchester City.
Having an incomplete squad is not an excuse for losing against Arsenal cause City is a team that got good substitutions that could make the starting 11 of some EPL teams moreover Arsenal were also without there star player Saka and didn't even start Martinelli who helped them secure the victory, if they had done better with their performance like they did in the first 1st and even try to create better chances for their star player Haaland I believe they would had been leading in the 1st half.
 
 If you compare both teams you'll notice that City got more quality players that played the game than Arsenal, if only Pep Guardiola didn't sale Cole Palmer to Chelsea maybe he would had helped to create chance and help them get a draw or even win the game, however there still hope for them to defend their title cause the gap between them and Tottenham is not very wide.
