Maybe their funds are starting to run low  or it could be that they are evaluating that buying star players who are quite old will not always have a good impact on the club, at least that can be seen with Karim Benzema at Ittihad FC and also Neymar Jr at Al Hilal, although Neymar is more due to injury but Al Hilal was still luckier because they managed to buy Mitrovic, who performed brilliantly in his first season at the club.

It's a bias.

There are some great coaches who weren't football players, but most of good coaches were football players.

It's make sense because you can't feel a sense how a good strategy and team play was supposed to, the way is become the player. Arsene Wenger is one of most popular coaches who wasn't a player.

Just as we cannot be too sure of who will win the league is the same way that we cannot y which club will be on relegation now till the last month of the season. You should know that football is full of surprises and we should expect the unexpected as time goes by. Cagliari is facing difficulties since this season and if they don't improve, they might go to relegation, but if they improve in their performance, they will still remain in the league. As the season keep drawing close to the end, you will be surprised with the performance of some weak clubs.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are the two top La Liga teams that have been beaten by Girona so I think Girona has nothing more to prove this season for them to be able to occupy the top position of the standings and compete fiercely in the race for the La Liga title this season, Girona is really enough strong.

The number of goals scored in this match was something that had been predicted from the start and it was quite reasonable because both teams were strong teams who were quite productive in scoring goals, but Girona's winning goal which was scored at the end of the match was a sign that they had strength and also Pretty good mentality, overall I think Girona deserved to win the match, they played better and more effectively.

Lukaku is no longer suitable for the EPL. Actually, we cannot say that he is very old. He is 30 years old not old actually, he is so tall and he loses his speed, so in my opinion, he is not suitable anymore. It would be best for him to stay in Italy, if such a wish even exists.

This player is no longer on Chelsea's agenda. In order to get out of these problems, they need to decide on the right players again to be a competitive team in the EPL.

They just buy expensively and then loan them to other teams and then let them go for cheaper.

Corrrect. Lukaku is no longer young so he would be more suitable for Serie A, especially AS Roma. Because he found a suitable coach and had actually worked with him at a previous club. Mourinho and Lukaku already understand each other. So now we can see AS Roma improving slightly on the front line after bringing in Lukaku. Unfortunately their defense is still bad so they are still having difficulty getting into the top 4.

Yes, even with the lack of defenders that Real Madrid currently has, they still have a good defense. I still don't believe they have a stable performance, maybe if this happened to another team then it would definitely be easy to concede the goal because of the weak defense. But Real Madrid also has two goalkeepers who have played very well this season, namely Kepa and Lunin, both of whom often rotate according to the team's needs and rarely concede goals.

Several players have been confirmed to return, except for those with ACL injuries, such as Militao, Alaba and Courtois, who will probably be back for quite some time to strengthen the main squad. But that doesn't seem to be a problem because Ancelotti knows how to manage the existing squad so that he can still get maximum results in every match.

Because there are still a lot of games left, it is actually very difficult to see which teams will actually be relegated at this time. Because it is possible that the teams that are currently in the relegation zone will start to rise and start to avoid the relegation zone.

Salernitana are currently at the bottom of the standings and they seemed to be struggling at the start of the season. but then in the last few matches we can see Salernitana starting to show quite good improvement. Milan even managed to be held to a draw by Salernitana.

Udinese actually quite surprised me with the victory they achieved against Bologna. Bologna have been quite strong this season and it is surprising to see Udinese beat them. I think from the middle of the season there will be a lot of big changes in the standings.

At Real Madrid, they have a strong liking for Xabi Alonso's potential as a head coach, and they believe that sooner or later, he will take on the role at Real Madrid. Recently, Real Madrid extended Ancelotti's contract until 2026. It will be delayed Xabi will leave his current club for Madrid before 2026. Summing up the substantial timeframe, he might consider moving to one of his former clubs during this period. Anything is possible, and Xabi Alonso has certainly earned the opportunity to work with a top team as a head coach.

It's true that M. Salah was dumped and loaned by Chelsea to several clubs in Serie A, such as Fiorentina and Roma, and Roma then bought him. After that he came to Liverpool until now since 2017.

And now Chelsea is doing the same thing with one of the players they have. The player who had the same fate as M. Salah was R. Lukaku. Lukaku was also thrown away, treated the same as M. Salah. For the past 2 seasons, Lukaku has been on loan to two Serie A clubs. Last season Lukaku was loaned to Inter Milan and achieved good results there. Now Lukaku is on loan at Roma and now Lukaku is also one of the top scorers at the Roma club. And is currently the 3rd top scorer in Serie A.

And the funny thing is that Lukaku also has the potential to be bought in the transfer market next season by Roma and it is possible that one day Lukaku will return to the EPL and become a legend at one of the EPL clubs. If that happens then once again Chelsea have wasted a player.

I don't think it would be an easy match for Liverpool today. Newcastle is currently is not in the best shape but I think that they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, they are having some crisis but still have the players to upset Liverpool.
I earlier thought that Liverpool would win but checking out line ups right now I think the game would be a draw at the end of the day.

I would guess that they would probably not manage to achieve it, a lot of teams try to get out of relegation zone, but the thing about relegation is that some teams have to go down, there isn't really an option that they could stay, they just have to go down and that's what they do. If that is a mathematical must, if some teams have to go down then I do not see why not them.

They look like one of the worst teams in the league and if they do manage to go down then it would make sense. I am not really sad or upset about that one, but Empoli and Cagliari are very long standing teams who has done great in history and they haven't been that great recently and looking like going down again, which is quite said when you see that, I have to say it is not really that nice of a feeling.

Whether we realize it or not, Madrid is actually on the verge of instability after several important players were injured, but this can still be covered because Madrid has high-level players. Luckily several players were absent right after the UCL break. So he has time to improve, while in La Liga his current position is still safe because his rivals are not in a threatening condition due to being busy dealing with increasingly deteriorating finances. However, instead another competitor comes from Girona, who is still in 2nd place in the standings with a point difference that is not too far away. Another conclusion is that Madrid was saved right when the transfer window opened and they have everything to immediately upgrade the depth of the squad.

I'm not sure yet but I think the case between Mbappe and Real Madrid is already closed and there is definitely no chance for this French player to play for Real Madrid any time soon with the current news we see from Real Madrid. Mbappe wanted to join Real Madrid many other times and he was about to leave PSG, but he changed his mind at the last moment for some reason and this made Real Madrid mad enough not to even think about this player.

Real Madrid management gave the fans the best Christmas gift by extending extending the contract of Carlo Ancelotti at the club to the summer of 2026. The Italian manager have been very instrumental to the club's success in recent years as he has used his managerial experience to bring solutions to some of the tactical issues at the club.
After Karim Benzema left the club last summer, the club was without a recognized striker and that raised concerns about Carlo Ancelotti's ability to manage a Madrid team without a striker but he's been able to efficiently manage the team by converting Jude Bellingham who was known as a central midfielder at Borussia Dortmund to become a false 9 and that decision has worked well for the club

Another defeats again, not expected for them to lose in a row, not good for the reputation of Arsenal because they're top in the race to battle Liverpool but now looking at them, It doesn't pose any threat at the moment. Arsenal performance is gradually declining and that's no good reputation to set currently. I can't comprehend the entire performance of the club because they're not straight, they keep dissapointing everyone at die minutes, the fans are laying their complaints and not contended with the present team's performance.

Comparison with Premier League and La Liga I think Serie A become most defensive team and not playing offensive on every match, Juventus on 2nd position awhile just scored 27 goals and drastically difference with La Liga and Premier League 2nd standings teams success scored above 43 goals. Almost Serie A teams have poor ration winning goals on every match exactly Jose Mourinho know his tactic as park bus on every match and he just prefer with counter attack only.

Juventus if get possibility for winning Serie A in this season will be team lack goal productivities because they have winning 1 goal ration exactly last match won against AS Roma with 1-0.

Juventus winning Roma to me isn't so much of a surprise because I have always anticipated the fact they Roma's inconsistency definitely doesn't guarantee them the ability to play and win Juventus just like that because Juventus isn't a weak or average team that would be considered an easy work over just like that but one which they will really have to work hard to beat.

Roma for me this season has just been within the average range so I don't rate them so high with the expectations of even winning big teams such as Juventus who is not playing in other leagues except for the serie a alone this season so I wasn't expecting any less for a team that have all their focus on achieving a particular trophy alone and they Also have a good form aswell which means they are not weak at all. Roma has been considerably good with their performance this season but in games like this even if they managed to defend well enough they the winning margin was small, thsy still don't look stable enough to win big good teams.

A perfect season is just what every club is craving for and only few will achieve this target in matches. A very difficult duty to win Manchester City in EPL matches, they're the top club and they barely win any match. Manchester City have dominated over the past seasons and this one is certainly not an exception for these clubs to build strong form to boost their performance. Manchester City not in good shape at the moment, but they can be able to standout to their opponents and fight for their spot in the EPL. They're champ and they ought to behave like one.

This is good news, Ancelotti is a coach who is extraordinarily competent to train a team like Madrid (He was successful in making Benzema and Vini Junior what they are today) he has a good strategy and also knows how to place players in their positions and the most important thing is that he is very appreciated and respected by the Madrid squad, this is very important because a coach who is hated will only damage the squad's performance.
Even though currently Madrid is at the top of the standings again, they seemed to be struggling against Alaves, even Madrid scored one goal in the 92nd minute. Girona also still has great potential to reclaim the top position, they have never lost so far.
