For me, it would be wrong if Al hilal brought in Mbappe at a fantastic price. if only, Mbappe was willing to join Al Hilal, it would not necessarily make Al Hilal stronger and win trophies in various competitions. ideally, Al Hilal could sign 3/4 of Europe's other top players with the funds they provide for efforts to sign Mbappe. or it could be, this is just a scenario that Al Hilal is doing to get the attention of football lovers. plus, they encourage other top players to be interested in joining the Saudi Pro League, in particular joining Al Hilal.

If so, a sound strategy I guess. because I'm pretty sure, Al Hilal and PSG are well aware that Mbappe only wants to be willing to join Real Madrid. let alone the rumours, PSG say that Mbappe has agreed a pre-secret deal as reported by Romano. Mbappe's transfer saga, however, has become increasingly erratic and has only added to complications for both the club and Mbappe himself. but there are other rumors quoted by Romano, Al Hilal agreed terms with Verratti, as disclosed - talks with PSG. at least, Verratti could show his skills when he joined Al Hilal. even then, if there is a concrete agreement. well, let's just wait because there are still several names of top European players who are the targets of Saudi clubs.

IMO, it's not a matter of being able to surpass De Gea or not, but how Onana makes the saves properly and that is his job. after all, this was a friendly match. after all, it doesn't have a very significant impact on the team as a whole. both teams, did not play to their full strength. because it was feared, they would be injured.

Talking about Onana, even though in the match against Madrid he conceded 2 goals, he also made 3 saves, 51 touches, 39 accurate passes and several other statistical records, referring to several sources that became my references, Onana's statistical value is quite good. not even bad despite conceding 2 goals. Onana has done a good job, Madrid's first goal, Onana lost one step out to keep out a flick from Bellingham. but at least, referring to the available statistical data. Onana plays as it should.
IMO, United fans don't need to worry too much, that this goalkeeper has a capacity that doesn't need to be doubted. defeat against Madrid, did not make him despair. it can actually encourage him, so that he is even better. after all, Onana also needs chemistry with her teammates. So, I think all of this is normal.

Don't get your hopes up, even I'm not sure that in his first season Enrique was able to bring PSG to win the Champions League trophy. unless, if PSG still has the MNM trio. thus, Enrique only needed to strengthen his team by bringing in some midfielders. plus, some tough defenders. apparently, PSG is ideal under Enrique with a very deep team.

However, now that Messi has left, Neymar's status is doubtful even though he has a chance to survive. Meanwhile, Mbappe is currently in polemic over his decision not to extend his contract. So, Enrique's task is quite tough to bring SPG to lift the championship trophy in this competition. we don't even know for sure which players Enrique will sign. several names of players have been targeted in this transfer window, but so far there has been no concrete action taken by PSG. for example, PSG have held private talks with the Juventus striker. However, PSG also wants to hijack Manchester United's target. So, I don't want to rush to assess the strength map of this French giant team. at least, just wait until this summer transfer window closes.

Mbappe's transfer saga is getting more exciting and hotter. it seems that PSG's management is starting to get overwhelmed with Mbappe, in fact they can't put real pressure on him. So far, there are no rumors reporting that Mbappe is willing to sign a contract extension. in fact, it seems that Mbappe remains firm with his decision.
now, the news is busy with a proposal from Al Hilal who promises a high salary even though it is only a one-season contract. however, as reported by many sports media and including Romano, Mbappe does not want to negotiate with Al Hilal. it was clear that his decision was unanimous. In another Romano report, PSG sources believe Mbappe has agreed a pre-secret deal with Real Madrid. PSG believes Kylian Mbappe only wants to join Real Madrid.

 
Well, we know very well that Madrid did not bring in an ideal striker for Benzema's successor. maybe too, as Madrid already have a deal in place with Mbappe for the 2024 season on a free agent. well, I think the Mbappe drama saga will be even more exciting for us to follow. most likely, PSG will take steps to negotiate with parties from Mbppe. for Al Hilal, I'm sure they won't try to make a re-bid. moreover, by increasing Mbappe's salary. In fact, I believe that Mbappe will stay with PSG until his contract expires.

In this friendly match, the two coaches both conducted experiments by rotating some of their players and at the same time to restore the team's fitness as a whole. that doesn't mean this match isn't important, because it's all done to measure the strength of the team and its players. to be sure, the results pertadingan not their main goal. all of that was done, in the interests of the team to welcome the 2023/2024 season. plus, releasing several players who are not included in the next season's project.

In this match, Xavi gave minutes of playing time for several newcomers. I think they need adjustments to adapt to the system that Xavi applies, as well as establish chemistry with other players.
referring to the statistics of Barcelona, ​​they played not so bad for a friendly match. for the front line, their statistics are quite good, as well as the midfield players. well, for defense, it looks like Xavi will have to correct him even though this match is not a crucial match.

To be honest, I'm not really interested in watching pre-season games. but what is certain, this friendly match is only a place for coaches to experiment with their players and at the same time try out some of the systems that are implemented. plus, restoring the fitness of the players to return to their prime when welcoming the new season.
by the way, if I refer to the stats of these two teams. both Ten Hag and Ancelotti, are trying to experiment with some of their players. in this match, Ten Hag tried to rotate some of his players. for Madrid, it seems that Ancelotti is trying to experiment with the new system that he applies. So, the result of this match doesn't determine anything. it's just that, every coach can give an assessment when his players carry out this pre-season match.

Speaking of Manchester United, like I said in many posts. if, Ten Hag can't just rely on Marcus Rashford to be the center forward.  like it or not, they have to bring in a pure striker to strengthen the depth of his team. because of that, Ten Hag is targeting Rasmus Hojlund to complement the strength of his team on the front lines. even though, in fact there are still a number of players who are their target. unfortunately, with limited spending funds, Ten Hag was unable to bring in the players he really wanted.

Rigth, the transfer fee remains the sticking point, as however, Daniel Levy is sticking to his guns as he still hopes for Kane to sign a new contract offer. Meanwhile as reported by 90min, that Bayern Munich are set to improve their teaching of Harry Kane and recently held another meeting with Levy to continue negotiations.
The Bundesliga giants remain keen to negotiate negotiations for the England captain as soon as possible, with Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel having met Kane to discuss the transfer.

But like you said, the bottom line is that Tottenham will let Kane go for the price they want. therefore this negotiation will be increasingly tough, as I said in the previous post. another rumor, referring to the Daily Express claims that they floated the idea of ​​including the player in their next offer. for a fee of £86 million which is set to be tabled after previous cash offers were rejected. reportedly Bayern will offer Pavard in exchange proposal Kane, Express reports that Bayern are considering bringing Pavard's name in negotiations. So, is this rumor true, if so, guess what this offer will go according to plan. well, let's just wait.

To build a casino requires a sizable fee, even though the casino is an online casino. Usually, business people engaged in this industry will first calculate how much money they need. that means, to build a casino requires sound financial logistics. or, looking for some investors to build the casino. So, it's not as simple as we imagine if building an online casino is easy. at least, they have prepared including the financial logistics.

So, referring to what you said, if the casino is a casino that has a reputation that can be trusted and its credibility can be accounted for. the casino will not make it difficult for its customers, let alone to withdraw the winning money that wins to be theirs. unless it is suspected of cheating. or, must meet regulatory standards in case of large withdrawals. An established casino will not go bankrupt because there are users who win big wins. After all, each casino will limit the betting of its users according to the limits they provide. so, it is unlikely that the casino will go bankrupt because one of its users wins the jackpot. except, that the casino is an illegal casino that doesn't have a license or it could be that the casino is run by people who are not as competent as you say.

If we refer to the word "addiction", there are many meanings of addiction. without even realizing it, if we also have the potential to be addicted to something. whether it's work, whether it's food, it can also be drugs, even as the theme of the discussion we are addicted to gambling. for me, the word "opium" is very familiar to our lives as humans. however, because the theme of our discussion is the madness of gambling addicts. actually, not much different from other types of addiction. which in essence, addiction is a condition that makes a person lose control of something. usually, it refers to liking too much and being driven by a strong desire or fondness for something.

Refer to what you say, if someone is as addicted as you say. these conditions, we can say that they are very acute addicts. well, what you are saying is only a small part of addicts who do stupid things even to the point of ending their lives. In fact, as human beings, we are blessed with reason and thought. therefore, in order to avoid what you mentioned in this post. a person must be very aware of what he is doing, including in gambling. in fact, to prevent this, gamblers must fully understand the essence of gambling itself.

That in essence, gambling is a form of entertainment in today's modern era. you can have fun with it, without having to always get the victory you want. gamble, according to what you can afford. if you want to earn income, then the answer is work. if you want to be rich, then do business. if you want to have fun and spend a few bucks with it, you can express it in gambling. the point is, don't think too much and hope for something that will make things difficult for yourself later.

Spurs and Chelsea's situation is very different.
let's remember, last winter, Todd boehly splurged on the new arrivals. that means, this season they also have to sell some of their players if they don't want to get FFP sanctions. based on information from Chelsea's financial field in the 2021/2022 season, the Blues are at risk of significant FFP sanctions. rumor has it Chelsea have recorded a loss, the extent of that loss could be even worse had they not been productive in terms of player sales. that's why, Chelsea sold several of its players and the ones that were quite expensive were Harvertz and Manson Mount. plus, several other players. like it or not, Chelsea had to let go of several players who were not included in Pochettino's project.

Different from Spurs, Tottenham do not want to let go of the only player who is their mainstay. So far, Levy has been adamant about keeping his star player. in fact, Spurs offered Kane a new contract with a higher salary increase. rumor has it, Kane is not willing to renew his contract.
So, there are two scenarios. Spurs remain adamant on keeping Kane until his contract expires, or they sell him for some new arrivals. Due to the latest rumours, Bayern will make their third bid to Spurs for Kane.

Ideally, what they were planning was not a sudden event. I really believe, they have planned it very carefully from a long time ago. is it possible, they don't have talks with FIFA in their project plans. otherwise this project probably never would have existed IMO. Rumors even circulated that the Saudis also bribed FIFA to host the 2030 world cup. Well, it's not something foreign to us if there is always a negative side, like when Qatar hosted the world cup.

Related to your question, it could be that it was the initial plan that they carried out in their project. because if we try to examine further the project they are running, it may be further than what we think and know. To be honest, I don't like to link politics and business in football discussions. So, our point comes back to the Saudi Pro League. indirectly, with what has been done by the kingdom and the PIF company, the Saudi Pro League is getting more famous and becoming the concern of football lovers around the world. although in truth, we can't say for sure whether this competition will be fun for us to watch. but at least, that the Saudi League will be above the existing leagues in Asia. in the next 5-10 years, the development of football in Saudi Arabia will increase.

In fact, we can't measure PSG's strength map yet in the next season. if in the end Mbappe leaves, Enrique will find the ideal replacement. although it seems that it will be difficult to get players according to Mbappe's criteria, what is certain is that they will look for options according to the team's needs. I think that even though Mbappe remains with PSG, it does not guarantee that he will be able to help his club win the Champions League trophy. ideally, Enrique should bring in a few new arrivals that match the needs of his team.

Some rumors report that PSG are still interested in bringing in Bernaldo Silva, even though their first offer was rejected by City.
Some time ago, PSG were interested in Juventus striker, Dustan Vlahovic. but until now, there has been no concrete proposal offered by PSG. now, rumors suggest that PSG are also trying to hijack Hojlund from Manchester United by increasing their bid for Atalanta, as reported by Romano.
The point is, PSG is looking for an ideal player according to the needs of his team, especially for a center forward. also, it looks like Neymar will stay with PSG. even though he is often injured, he can still contribute to PSG.
well, this summer's transfer market still has enough time lag for PSG to hunt down some of the players they are after. by the way, IMO, Enrique's current task is to rebuild the PSG squad to be a better team than before.

In the 2023/2034 season, Xavi must bring Barcelona much better than what they showed last season. I don't remember exactly, but it looks like there were about 11 matches played underperforming even though they won the game in the end. from these 11 matches, Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. I'm not saying that they played badly the whole game. however, this team really has had its ups and downs. I can understand that, because Barcelona faced many obstacles last season. even so, there were several other matches that they played with beautiful games.

Well, Xavi must make his squad appear consistent. now, they have additional player ammunition which is believed to add to the strength of their squad. plus, they have a second tier player that can be relied on. So, theoretically Barcelona should be stronger than last season. one more thing, Xavi has to be more creative with the system he implements. because, competition in the next season especially the Champions League is not easy with so many very strong competitors. as a Barcelona fan, I hope they are able to present interesting match after match.

Theoretically, Arsenal have become quite a competitive team. although I think they still need to sign a centre-forward who is hungry for goals, but at least now Artera's team should be stronger than last season. Arsenal have deepened their squad by bringing in several new arrivals, they are ready to welcome the new season. although this team is almost dominated by a young squad, however, it should not be underestimated. we can see how they almost won the domestic league trophy, even though in the end the Gunners squad failed to maintain the consistency of their performance. at least, whoever the team that will be Arsenal's opponent later. they have to be ready, because this team can surprise.

One more thing, which we should not underestimate. So far, United have not brought in many players. but that does not mean, this team is not competitive. because after all, Manchester Unitid should not be underestimated. the proof, with the available squad. they were able to finish in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. it could be that if Ten Hag's squad doesn't have problems with injured players, they can go as far as they can in this competition. after all, they have a coach who is no less intelligent like Pep Guardiola. To be honest, I can't wait to see the competition begin.

Rumors of Walker leaving have surfaced as the defender began to feel uncomfortable. eroded playing minutes, so he had to find a new club. Walker's situation made Munich move. Incidentally, the Bundesliga giants are looking for a pure right-back to add depth to their squad. Recent reports said Walker had agreed to join Munich. it's just that Pep Guardiola doesn't want to let go.

Naturally, even though Walker is often rotated from the main starting eleven for Manchester City. but after all, he is part of one of the best players that Pep Guardiola has. but Walker clearly needs proof that he is indeed the best in the squad, one of which is by guaranteeing regular playing time for next season. if City do that, I'm sure he will stay at the Etihad Stadium. but there are no guarantees, it is not impossible if in the end the defender accepts an offer from Bayern Munich. a verbal agreement has been made with the player, Bayern only needs to confirm negotiations with Manchester City. besides that, Walker's age has entered 33 years. maybe, he wants to spend his retirement by continuing to play as a core player.
well, since so far there has been no official proposal claim from Munich, anything can happen.

Previously, Bayern were interested in signing Vlahovic from Juventus. however, because of the price offered by Juventus and Bayern's proposal which was rejected. in the end, Bayern again targeted Kane as their main priority. it would be very natural, if Tuchel wants a striker who is very ready to compete in any league. that's why, Tuchel insisted on bringing Kane to Bavaria.

According to Sport Bild, Bayern are preparing for new talks with Tottenham over Kane this week. Their CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, will not accompany them on a pre-season visit to Japan so he can focus on further negotiations with Daniel Levy. it is possible, as reported by Bild, that Bayern's strategy will bear fruit. So, let's wait because this negotiation looks like it's going to be the interesting part.

Speaking of Choupo-Moting, he will still be part of Bayern Munich as Tuchel has said.
As for Sadio Mane, he has given the green light to Al Nassr and it looks like negotiations will take place this week.
talking about Kane, like I said. if so, this player will most likely be the answer for Bayern Munich to fill the vacant position left by Lewandowski. we wait, how it goes. because of this transfer drama, it is quite tough.

Actually Rashford can operate as a center attack, however, Ten Hag cannot only rely on him. as we know in the last season, when Rashford has decreased, he has difficulty returning to his best form. therefore, Ten Hag wanted a pure striker they could rely on when it came to scoring goals. There are several names on Manchester United's target list in this window, namely Harry Kane, Kolo Muani and several other names. but unfortunately, Frankfurt prices strikernya high. Tottenham is no exception, Ten Hag wants this player. however, the Spurs will not let Kane go to their rival.

Speaking of Rasmus Hojlud, the last time I read news regarding this rumour. Man United will refuse to bid in excess of £60m for Rasmus Hojlund, with reports suggesting several alternatives are being explored including one that has been tested by Erik Ten Hag. but regardless, Man United have agreed personal terms with the Denmark international who is thought to be keen to join the Red Devils. also, Hojlund was United's main target. only, if Atlanta doesn't strike an unattainable deal, other targets will be explored. Ten Hag explores "creative" alternatives. So, let's wait and see how Ten Hag continues with what he wants to get the ideal striker for his team.

In accordance with the title of the theme of this thread, if you, I, we are interested in sports betting, and we are interested in joining groups that study sports, especially those that are paid. the first thing we do is dig up all the information regarding the group or channel, whether it can be trusted or not. why is that, as you said and we agree that it is very common with things that lead to fraud. who in the end, just take advantage of our stupidity to spend some money to pay them. as we know, there are many groups or channels that offer tips services in terms of sports betting, especially on the telegram channel.

To be honest, I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. I also don't want to say that all of them are scams, maybe there are some of those groups that really share sports betting tips or tips, even groups that are free without paying. but if I may suggest, to anyone in the community. Instead, to prevent something we don't want, it's best to ignore it.
However, there is a tip I can recommend instead. we can look for groups, or channels that discuss sports, especially those that are private, like courses. the point is, what we aim for is not the gambling, but the knowledge of the sport. thus, we will get to know more about sports. indirectly, we will understand how the sport itself works and how when we are going to do a betting session. with the knowledge and insights we have gained, we don't need to look for groups that predict bets, let alone paid ones.

As per the title theme of this thread, greed can lead to lost bets. Of course, greed doesn't just cause the money you bet to disappear in an instant. however, you will experience regret and guilt. yep, at least, that's usually what happens. I guess, what you said is a very common problem. in fact, nearly all gamblers have had a similar experience. some of them, not infrequently experience it repeatedly. So, this is a very common problem.

Naturally, when someone is faced with big money, in this case gambling, assuming someone has a high probability of winning, psychologically, we as gamblers will choose to take that risk. although in exchange, if we lose, the money we bet is gone entirely. however, if what happens is the opposite. in other words, you get a win in that bet. I am very sure, you will not say that this is part of greed. So, what gamblers need to understand is. that the money we risk, has the potential to lose at any time and we must be prepared for that.

Before we get into this discussion, we have to sort out the definition of success.
Well I have a question to the OP, give us a little idea of ​​what a successful gambler looks like. whether he is a professional gambler, or a gambler who always wins every bet. for me this is a little biased, because the key to the word "success" is that someone achieves something with what he does. whether it's a successful businessman, a successful crypto trader, and so on. so I'm a little confused by what OP said in this thread, even a little contradictory to gambling, because the most common risk in gambling is losing.

But if the OP changes the question, can professional gamblers be seen as addicts. it seems, the title of this thread is more ideal for me. because, referring to what the OP said, a professional gambler doesn't just invest money. they also invest time, energy, and even devote all the knowledge they have and are equipped with broad insights. then, are they potentially addicted. maybe, because all things do not rule out the possibility. but at least, they are experts when it comes to gambling.
