Anyway, Real Madrid are now in first place in the standings and have managed to win all the games that they have. Yesterday Sociedad were able to score the first quick goal and it looked like Madrid might lose, but they won. So it seems to me that even without Benzema Real have a great game.
Real Madrid's greatness does not lie in Benzema, even though last season Benzema was always a mainstay player at Real Madrid and this season the Real Madrid coach is very aware that the Real Madrid team must be able to appear strong even without Benzema. Now this has been proven through the five matches at the start of this season where Real Madrid was able to win all the matches, although not in an easy way because Real Madrid's struggle in winning the five matches at the start of this season was very visible.

After all, of course, it has been proven that Real Madrid are doing just fine even without Benzema because yes, the fact is that Real Madrid managed to play the first five matches of the season without defeat. So yes, it's obviously a very good result but even so, I think Real Madrid will also experience some problems as time goes on. Because I realize, to maintain a winning streak throughout the season is not easy. But yes, if the Real Madrid squad is not much and not often injured, then at least Real Madrid still has a chance to be able to win the La Liga title this season. Although still, competition with Barcelona in the La Liga title race will not be easy.
Of a truth Real Madrid has been winning all their matches which has made people to think that the club isn't missing the services of the club's former captain Karim Benzema but I think they need tougher tests to know if they're good enough to have a great season without their former talisman.
They host German side Union Berlin on Wednesday for their UEFA Champions League encounter before traveling to Atletico Madrid for a league game on Sunday. It's early days of the season and I think further test would prove if Real Madrid are okay without Benzema

Leverkusen are really pretty impressive so far. Xabi Alonso is just continuing from where he left. I'm curious about one thing as well. Can they stay in the title race until the end? After seeing them performing really decently in Allianz Arena and stealing a point from them too I started to think about this possibility more.

Leverkusen wouldn't do like Dortmund did at the end in my opinion. They would play much stronger if they play a championship game on the final week of the season. Therefore Bayern Munich had better be as consistent as possible if they don't want to see their title streak ending.
For Bayer Leverkusen to go to the Allianz Arena and still got a draw against a star studded team like Bayern Munich, it shows the level of improvement that's happened in the club since Xabi Alonso took over the managerial position of the club. Leverkusen has been very consistent with their impressive results since the start of last season and doesn't look like a team who's gonna decline in form anytime soon.
With their current 10 league points, they're still very much in the race for the German Bundesliga title but what I'm not sure is if they'll continue to remain at the top till the end if the German Bundesliga season.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich, which appears quite consistently in the domestic league, does not need to hesitate to beat Manchester United, they have many options available and Tuchel seems free to manage his players. Well, it is true that Manchester United has a great legacy in this competition but that was before and it is not equivalent to what they have produced so far.
There is nothing that Manchester United can hope for because of their defeat against Brighton yesterday. Many people on social media are laughing at the bad results they produced at the beginning of this season. Munich's domestic league results are much better than Manchester United's, especially when playing at home, of course Munich could beat them. Manchester United to maintain a safe position in this group phase.

I may not be able to predict the score but I'm sure Munich can win big against Manchester United, just look at even their defense is still not really good if Ten Hag hasn't evaluated yesterday's defeat and corrected it, Munich will definitely take advantage of that gap to be able to score more goals and Kane will understand better how to penetrate their defense.
Believe it or not, Manchester United's current results are gonna affect the mentality and confidence of the players when they travel to Germany to face Bayern Munich for their first UEFA Champions League game of the season. Bayern Munich have been consistent with their good performances since the start of the season and even when they faced league leaders Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, they were able to get a point from that game.
Bayern signed Harry Kane from English Premier club Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window and with the help of Kane who's been prolific on goal since he arrived at Bayern, I'll be very surprised to see United get anything from that game.

There isn't a proper team performance right now. Without Mbappe they would be just desperate and wouldn't be much different than an average team as for their game. We saw this at the beginning of the season when Mbappe didn't play in a couple of games much. They were in control in terms of ball possession maybe but they weren't able to score.
PSG are doing poorly in defense, and without Mbappe everything will be just as bad in attack. At the moment, Mbappe this is their chance to play well in the Champions League, but with a team like this I doubt they will achieve a worthy result, and they may not even manage to win Ligue 1. Mbappe's potential far exceeds PSG's current capabilities, so I doubt that he changed his mind about leaving the team. PSG should have let him go this summer.

I agree with your shot. PSG's defense is weak. And the performance of their attacking players is erratic. In attack, Mbappe, Asensio, Ramos and Dembele are all talented. But nobody can play consistently well except Mbappe. Not that Mbappe is performing very well either. However, strengthening PSG's defense is very important. They are conceding goals in every Ligue 1 match. They conceded 3 goals against Nice. Every team in the Champions League is very strong. If PSG performs in the Champions League with such a weak defense, then they will not win any match. Also, PSG players are not able to adapt themselves well to Enrique's match strategy. This is why the team's performance is erratic.
A defense line that consists few of the best current defenders in the world like Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez shouldn't be seen as a weak defense rather I think the defenders aren't putting out their best performances for the club and that is a very worrisome for a big club like Paris Saint Germaine.
The club management did well in signing quality players to the club in summer transfer window, so it's now the job of their manager Luis Enrique to figure out the best playing pattern that'll bring out the best from his boys or risk losing his job if PSG continues to lose matches like the one they lost at home last weekend.

Ronaldo received great support from his teammates, especially as Sadio Mane presence immediately had a positive impact on Al Nassr's front line this season. I think Ronaldo will be able to contribute more goals this season for Al Nassr. In terms of their performance so far, Al Nassr has managed to improve their performance in the 4 matches they have played. On the other hand, Al Ittihad managed to return to winning ways after being defeated by Al Hilal in the previous match. Now, for the Al Ahli vs Al Taawon match, of course this match was filled with quite a fierce atmosphere from both sides because both teams were competing with their strong strengths and also both teams received red cards in this match.

In essence, Al Nassr must be more consistent to stay on the right track and move forward with a positive trend. Currently, Al Nassr is in 6th position with 12 points. To get close to the top of the standings, they need 4 points or even more if they want to be at the top of the standings. So, the job of Ronaldo and his teammates is just to appear consistent and win every match they play.

On the other hand, Al-Ahli was able to eliminate Al Taawoun's position by overthrowing him with a score of 3-2.
while Al Ittihad narrowly won from Al Akhdood.  However, they were still able to maintain their position in the standings.
Well, in the next match there will be a big match between Al Nassr vs Al-Ahli. The results of this match will be very decisive for Al Nassr to increase their ranking. This match will be held at Al-Awwal Park, the headquarters of Al Nassr, a plus advantage for the home team apart from being that they have a more competitive depth of players than Al-Ahli. But that doesn't mean Al-Ahli will just let them be overthrown, they also have front line players they can rely on. What is certain is that this match should present a fierce battle. Well, let's just wait, it's time for the two teams to meet.
Judging by the performance of Al Nassr in their last four games, I don't think there's any sign that the club is gonna decline in their form anytime soon because their two forward players Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are currently scoring goals for fun and doesn't look like they're stopping their goal prolificity anytime soon.
Al Nassr who are currently occupying the sixth position trail league leaders Al Hilal with just four points and if they continue in their current form, I think they're gonna catch up with them very soon and that will make the Saudi League more competitive than it has ever been

Napoli have been really bad for two weeks. After losing to Lazio home this time they got a draw with Genoa by 2-2. They could have even lost the game I mean as Genoa got 2-0 ahead first. Osimhen couldn't make any impact on this game and this was also one of the factors of course.

Napoli need to improve their team performance. Their next game is going to be an away one against Bologna. I will be expecting Napoli to get a win finally. They really need this to boost their morale. I'm curious about their Champions League performance as well. Their group isn't a very challenging one to qualify from.

Unfortunately, Napoli is in decline and most likely they will not repeat last year's success, although things can still change. If you remember how many times Inter lost last year, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start losing points here and there again.
As for the Champions League, Napoli are lucky that Union Berlin are also on the decline this season, so neither Real nor Napoli should have any problems qualifying. Braga, I think, can be ignored.
When Napoli former manager Luciano Spalletti left his role as the manager of the club after a successful season with the club which he won the Italian Serie A title for Napoli after over 30 years that they never laid hand on the league trophy which they won  back in the 1989/90 season, I was of the opinion that it'll be difficult for a new manager to step in and replicate what he did with the team last season.
The new manager Rudi Garcia without doubt is a good coach but winning the Scudetto in his first season with Napoli will be very difficult for him.

Sevilla have finally put an end to their losing streak. But it wasn't a comfortable win for them anyway even though they dominated the game against Las Palmas. It was Lukebakio's first game and only 10 minutes after entering the game he scored the winning goal. He is a skilled youngster so maybe this transfer would be really helpful for Sevilla during the season.

However the important thing is to maintain some winning streak for Sevilla. Their next game is an away one against Osasuna which can be quite difficult. They couldn't beat them in their last 2 head-to-head games in the La Liga but hopefully they can this time.
The victory was quite dramatic because Sevilla had to work hard to beat Las Palmas in this match. Even though they were playing in front of their supporters, Sevilla needed time to score a goal in this match. even in the first half the two teams played quite evenly and for Sevilla they were able to make many changes in the second half which made their game even better than in the first half. At the same time, this victory ends a bad streak and I hope that Sevilla can maintain their best form when they face Lens in the next match. Sevilla, which experienced quite rapid setbacks last season, is a big job for their management in the winter transfer market. Because if there are no big changes it will be difficult for them to away from the relegation zone.
Dodi Lukebakio's 71st minute goal was all Sevilla needed to win their match against Las Palmas and secure their first points of the Spanish La Liga season after four games. the win will somehow relieve the pressure on the club manager after he lost his first three league games of the season. After a goalless first half in that game at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, it looked like José Luis Mendilibar's side were heading for another winless game but came back in the second half of that game much better than they were in the second half of the game.
Sevilla host French club Lens in their first UEFA Champions League game of he season on Wednesday and the win against Las Palmas is a good way to boost the team's morale ahead of that crucial encounter.

It's all about human psychology: everyone likes to tell good things and brag, and no one talks about their failures.
Yes, that's why streamers and influencers who promote gambling and collaborate with casinos will usually only show their winnings and behind that they don't show big losses and other things, especially the promotions that many people do through social media just to show off winnings from gambling that we don't know. never know that his losses are actually greater than his wins.

That's what might make people want to gamble just like I did when I first started gambling, but luckily I didn't go too deep or too far into gambling so I can still control it now, because if I keep thinking that I can win big money and beating the dealer is very wrong, because victory comes if we can control ourselves when gambling. The point is, don't believe what people show you about the results they show off or brag about.

That's why I don't like to hear stories about how someone won a large sum, because I know that the narrator will keep silent about how much he lost.
For example, there was a case in the world of esports Date 2 - when the former owner Virtus.pro won 44 million rubles on the victory of Team Spirit. There was a very small chance that they would make it to the finals, but they took first place. This news was in all sites about esports and gambling. And it would seem that this manager can be envied, but we will never know how much money he lost before. And he will never tell it himself. This statistic is known only by gambling services where he plays. Does his bid seem weighted and calculated to me?
No.
It's just a luck.
Therefore, I am sure that he lost a lot of money before this event.
One fact I've learnt about people is that no one wants to be seen as a failure hence the reason behind most gamblers decision to always hide their pains whenever they lose their stakes and then public brags about their wins. Gambling novices who doesn't know that behind the huge winnings they do hear about is millions of people who's lost their hard earned money in gambling so they jump in to gambling thinking that they'll win just the person whose winning motivated them to gamble.
Gambling isn't as simple as many people do think about it and that's it's advised never to engage in it if you can't gamble responsibly

It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.

The performance of Tottenham is far from what we saw from then in the past, especially in the last season.
We know Tottenham didn't have a good performance and that's why they fired their coach in the last season, also Tottenham didn't have a good atmosphere in the team and when Kane left then I thought they would show poor performance.
But a miracle happened and in the game, they had against Sheffield United, Tottenham scored two goals in the waisted time to win the game.




Tottenham are really interesting this season indeed. But the most important thing has always been to improve their team performance. As they were weak in this before even Kane's high effort wasn't enough to save the team. But now it seems like the new manager is doing a good work about this situation.

The game against Sheffield was really interesting. Richarlison became hero after entering the game by a goal and an assist. This was important for him to take back his place in the starting eleven faster.
It's very rare to see a club who saw their best player for almost a decade leave and still be at the top of their performance without such player but Tottenham Hotspur has been doing since their former talisman Harry Kane left the club in the summer to join German champions Bayern Munich.
Their win against Sheffield United on Saturday is a true testament to the fact that the new manager Ange Postecoglou done exceptionally well to build the spirit of resilience and winning mentality in his team. Tottenham were few minutes away from suffering their first league defeat of the season but turned a match they were losing to their own favour in the additional minutes of the game.

Do you think it is the same experience for a gambler who has practically experienced and been involved in gambling evolution since gambling was on the street side with personal belongings or money, to spaces and buildings for gambling with money, to gambling with money online, and now to gambling with cryptocurrency online with a gambler who has experienced a few or just one of the forms of gambling? whose addiction will be harder to break?

Yes, that's right, the world of gambling has evolved from betting between individuals to online gambling. It has a long history, and gambling activities have existed since ancient times.

I think the most addictive gambling is online gambling. Online gambling is very easy to play, you can deposit just by using a smartphone, you can use m-banking or crypto, you don't need to go anywhere, you can even gamble in the toilet. All transactions use electronic money so we don't see how much money we deposit to gambling site because everything is just a note, unlike gambling at a land casino, we will think twice about risking all our money, because we hold real money.
Why do I think that it's because of the fact that the technological advancements that now allows individuals from any part of the world to access gambling sites and place bets using their smartphones as the major reason why we now have many gambling addicts than we what we witnessed in the time when gambling activities have to be physical between two or more people before gambling can take place?
The new technological advancements has their advantages like the ease to place bets from the comfort of anywhere you chose to but it's also making many people who doesn't know how to gamble responsibly to get involved in gambling.

Manchester City didn’t do so much in this summer’s transfer window, they focused mainly on strengthening crucial positions in the team. IMO I think Jack Grealish has been an important player in the team since joining from Aston Villa. The good thing is that Manchester City are getting the results for their investments so no need reminiscing on the amount spent on acquiring Grealish or any other player who has been part of the transformation process for City.
So far, there is no position that is particularly worrying, especially considering that even the bench players are already on par with the main players. Jack Grealish is indeed an important part and he even had doubts when he was brought in by Manchester City for 117 million euros in 2021 because he felt he had a big responsibility and had to be able to make a contribution commensurate with that price. However, it seems that it didn't take long for Jack Grealish to prove his quality to Pep Guardiola and until now he has become an irreplaceable right winger.
Jack Grealish is a very important member of the Manchester City squad and before his was injured, he was a regular starter for the club. Manchester City didn't not waste the money they used in signing him from Aston Villa and despite the arrival of Jeremy Doku who has been sensational in the left wing of Manchester City's attack,  I think Grealish is still gonna get playing opportunities when he returns from injury.
Pep Guardiola is one manager who's is very good in rotating his squad and I believe he already knows how to make use of Grealish when he's finally back to the squad.

Al Nassr continues to win. after losing the first 2 weeks, the Al Nassr team started to come back to their senses and defeated Al Raed yesterday to get their 4th win in the league.Nassr took the lead in the last minute of the first half with Mane and made good use of the opposition being down to 10 men.Nassr continued to increase the pressure after the opponent was down to 10 men and managed to increase the difference to 2 with Talisca at the beginning of the second half. In the 78th minute, the other star Ronaldo took the stage and increased the difference to 3. In the last minutes, Al Raed won a penalty and brought the situation to 3-1 and determined the result of the match.



This is an important victory for Al-Nassr because currently they are in their best performance to continue getting good results. We know that the first match did not go smoothly for Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends, but they started to recover slowly until now they continue to win. I was quite surprised by the process of the goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo because before he had time to dribble the ball through the gap between the legs of the opposing defender before he finally took a hard kick which resulted in a goal. Apart from that, Sadio Mane also scored a goal in this match and talking about the facts about these two players is that in the 6 matches played by Al-Nassr, Cristinao Ronaldo and Sadio Mane were involved in 18 goals scored so far including assists. Those are fantastic numbers and looking at this duo in the future, I think they can be the top scorers for this season.
Looking at the statistics, Al Nassr is the second club to have good goal productivity, and the most productive is Al Hilal which is now perched at the top of the table. Not only goal productivity, but also their defense is among the difficult to penetrate until this week, yes this is certainly we must put aside their defeat in the first 2 matches. They are now 6th in the table, only 1 point away from the 5th and 4th placed clubs, and also only 4 points away from Al Hilal at the top of the table.
Indeed, when compared with Al-Hilal it still feels quite difficult to catch and after all, before these European players joined the Saudi league, Al-Hilal had also dominated this league for a long time. I think this distance can be covered if Al-Nassr is able to beat Al-Hilal in one of the meetings this season. Apart from that, it is very difficult for a team like Al-Hilal to lose to another team and even a few weeks ago, against Al-Ittihad, they managed to turn around a situation that everyone felt was impossible to reverse. So I think Al-Hilal is still the strongest so far and it is very difficult for other strong teams to overthrow them.
With the current rate of goal productivity between Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane at Al Nassr, catching up with Al Hilal in the league both in number of points garnered and the number of goals scored doesn't seem like something difficult for them.
The duo has scored in each of their last four matches for Al Nassr and has helped the club pick all possible points in their last four games. Al Nassr are currently occupying the 6th position in the league table but and are just four points behind league leaders Al Hilal but I believe they're gonna give the league leaders a good run for their money. This season promises to be the most competitive season in the Saudi Pro League.

Big changes had taken place. When the gambling happens on the street people used to bet all their belongings when they go out of cash. With the existence of online platforms this has been controlled and people never intend to bet with their belongings. I don't know about the truth behind the street gambling, but I've seen on movies that people betting themselves at some situation and move as slaves. Lot have changed between the old/new gamblers and gambling methods.
Despite the fact that modern day gambling is mostly based online which means that there's no way someone will stake bets with their belonging, I don't think it has controlled the use of personal belongings to stake bets by some individuals who are involved in gambling. I have in different occasions seen gambling addicts who has sold all their belongings, used the money made from the sales to gamble online and still lose all their money.
The new gambling methods have changed from the old methods but the effect of gambling on people who doesn't gamble responsibly hasn't changed.

Before this game, Atlético had no defeats and the overall score was 10-1. And such a collapse with Valencia. I think many bettors added Atlético’s victory to their multi-bets and now they greatly regret it. By the way, statistically (I didn’t watch the game itself, not even the highlights), I don’t see any reason for a big defeat. The score could be 2-1, 3-2, 2-2, etc. Apparently today is just not Atletico's day. As for Valencia, even despite such volatility in results, they are clearly aiming for a better result than 16th place last season.
Statistically, the Valencia vs Atletico Madrid match was very balanced where they traded attacks in this match. But unfortunately for Atletico Madrid they were unable to score a goal in this match because Morata and Griezmann were unable to complete the several opportunities they had. Valencia were not favorites before this match started, but they were able to dispel that assumption by successfully beating Atletico Madrid with a score of 3-0.

With this victory, Valencia finally managed to end a bad streak in their last two matches. The additional 3 points made Valencia's ranking rise to 5th in the standings. Diego Simeone was very annoyed with his team's poor performance in this match even though they played with a perfect squad, but he had several strong reasons to say that his players' energy was too weak because they had just returned after playing for their respective national teams.

Diego Simeone is surely under pressure because of the weak performance they had, while Diego Simeone and the Atletico Madrid fans were thinking the game against Valencia couldn't be a hard team for them to lose points, they lost the game while Atletico Madrid had more control over the game.
I don't think Diego Simeone is under big pressure, because Atletico Madrid have only suffered 1 defeat at the start of this season. In fact, I am sure that Diego Simeone will be able to come back to winning ways in the next match. Indeed, in that match Atletico Madrid's performance was far from what was expected because they performed quite poorly and Valencia could take advantage of this to score goals.

In today's match I still want to be interested in reviewing Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad because Real Madrid is able to give us consecutive wins in the bets we make. Without Vini on the field, Real Madrid is still quite strong, I noticed that Joselu is starting to merge with Bellingham and Rodrygo. I think he has to maintain his best form to be Ancelotti's choice in the upcoming matches.
With Atletico Madrid's Spanish La Liga defeat at Valencia on Saturday, the club has now picked up just seven points in their first four league games of the season and are eight points behind league leaders Real Madrid who's played one more matches than the former Spanish champions.
Though their result in that game against Valencia wasn't an excellent one but I don't think it should send any form panic or pressure to their manager Diego Simeone who has given his best for the club since he became their manager over 10 years ago. I believe the team is gonna bounce back to winning ways very soon

Chelsea's made absolutely no progress and even got worse, even though Chelsea were able to dominate possession of the ball but unfortunately were unable to break through Bournemouth goal.
Its a shame, even though I thought Chelsea would win this match so they could get points and try to move up in the standings, but it seems like its becoming a difficulty for Chelsea at the moment knowing that their performance is decreasing.
If Mauricio Pochettino can not change a new strategy it might be difficult for Chelsea to rise from its current position.
Chelsea were unable to defeat Bournemouth, which was disappointing for the fans. Todd Boehly made mistakes in the transfer window, filling the team with mediocre players; what can we anticipate next? Undoubtedly, they are going to find it difficult to win games. What's the point of having the ball but not scoring? It makes no sense to me. Watching them play yesterday was like watching a mundane club perform; both clubs execute mediocrely. Mauricio Pochettino's starting lineup is unproductive; they couldn't score and instead squandered potential opportunities. Jackson and Raheem Sterling made some terrific runs, but they lack finishing ability, and the team as a whole is in disarray.
What I really don't understand with the choice of players that was signed to Chelsea in the summer transfer window was if they were Todd Boehly's personal choice or he consulted the opinion of the new manager Mauricio Pochettino before signing them because the connection between the players and manager doesn't show that they were Pochettino choices.
Chelsea isn't supposed to be picking up just five points in a possible 15 points after the huge spendings in the summer to assemble the players. Hopefully, the manager is gonna find a better playing pattern that'll bring out the best in them.

They really need this to boost their morale. I'm curious about their Champions League performance as well. Their group isn't a very challenging one to qualify from.
Osimhen tried his best in that match but he was very unlucky that he couldn't score any goal even though he had some few chances of scoring. Napoli hasn't won their two last matches as they have only gotten one point from the two matches, this has brought them down in the table, but I hope that they will be able to win Bologna in their next match. From my own view,  Napoli tried yesterday as they were able to equalise two goals down in the second half which shows great performance. It was better for a draw than a loss. Really the coach needs to improve the team performance for greater challenges ahead of them.

Victor Osimhen who was one of Europe's hottest strikers last season hasn't really replicated his goalscoring prowess of last season for his club this season. I'm not trying to suggest a decline in form because he scored a hatrick for national team side Nigeria during the international break to become the first player to do that for the Super Eagles since Odion Ighalo did same in 2018 but it seems his link up with other Napoli players who were creating those scoring chances for him last season has somehow declined.
It's early days of the season but Victor Osimhen needs to start scoring many goals for his club Napoli.

It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.
Finally, Arsenal was able to get 3 more points because they won against Everton. Unfortunately, I think they will score more than 2 goals in victory. However, they were only able to score 1 goal in the 69th minute by Trossard. even though they really dominated the match and were able to put quite tight pressure on their opponents. But unfortunately, they were unable to get a sharp kick into the goal and only scored 1 goal. But indeed, this is enough to make you superior and get 3 points. However, there is a feeling of a little disappointment when they cannot do it more optimally.
While we're trying to point out the fact that Arsenal didn't convert their chances in the game, I think it's also good to talk about the fact that Everton were impressive with the way they played against star studded team like Arsenal. Everton didn't start the season well and have gotten just one point from the five games they've played this season and were trying to get at least a point from the game but unfortunately couldn't stop Arsenal from scoring that all important goal that helped pick all three points from the match.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will now be turning their attention to the UEFA Champions League competition where they'll be hosting Dutch club PSV at the Emirates on Wednesday.

Maybe Real Madrid were 1-0 behind first but they still managed to make the comeback to 2-1 not much time later in the second half. Modric wasn't in the starting eleven this time. There was Kroos on the pitch though but the rest of the midfielders were all young ones. Modric entered the game after this comeback happened by the way.

This shows that they don't really need Modric in the game to win. I'm saying this considering the possibility of his leaving the team at the end of the season. It is 5 wins in 5 games for Real Madrid now. Bellingham didn't make a direct or indirect contribution to the goals this time but they still got the win.
Barring injuries, current Real Madrid squad can play with the best clubs in the world without the presence of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. They have some of the best young  midfield players in the world right now and if not for experience the veteran duo, it would've been difficult to play ahead young stars like Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Camavinga and the sensational Jude Bellingham.
Carlo Ancelotti if you ask me is rotating the club well and also giving the young players the opportunity to learn from Modric and Kroos masterclasses.

~snip~For Al Hilal, they are currently at the top of the standings. one point ahead of the team below. The presence of Neymar in the Al Hilal squad will add attack power to the front lines. Al Hilal is now one of the strong candidates in the race for the trophy this season.

Thanks to Neymar's contribution at Al Hilal, he officially made his debut in the first match against Al-Riyadh. Neymar was a good starter and provided chassis passes to create 4 goals which put Al-Hilal ahead. In his debut match, Neymar Jr came on to replace Michael Richard Delgado de Oliveira in the 63rd minute.
The match which ended with a score of 6-1 in favor of Al Hilal was dominated by attacking play. Even though Neymar did not score a goal on his first debut, Neymar's performance in that match contributed a lot to Al Hilal's game, and made Al Hilal at the top of the standings with 16 points.


Neymar Jnr has really announced his presence in Saudi Arabian League as one of the best footballer in the world at the moment with his convincing performance in his first game for his new club Al Hilal.
Before Neymar was introduced in the 64th of the game, Al Hilal were just two goals up against Al Riyadh but just after he came in, he created chances that helped his club score four more goals and win the game with a 6:1 final scoreline. With that performance, I think it's very safe to say that the Brazilian is gonna have a good spell with the Saudi club.

I don't think making bets in the last minute is a viable gambling strategy in the long term. People make lots of mistakes when they are in a hurry and gambling isn't an exception. Betting on sports needs careful planning and doing proper research. If you just make bets because you feel like it, you will definitely lose most of them. If you make your bets like that why don't you just play dice then? It makes more sense since dice is all luck based and it doesn't need you to make any research beforehand. If something has changed your mind in the last minute, then you shouldn't even make a bet on that game anymore because if something has changed, lots of other things which you don't know about may have changed as well.
Placing last minute bets to me is a very risky way of betting because the concerned person wouldn't be relaxed enough to dictate where there's error in his bet before staking. Though there are people who are good in placing late bets before the start of the game they're betting on but the truth is that it's not for everyone so the best thing to do whenever you want to place a bet is to take your time and relax and think of the best options that you're gonna go with and place your bet early so you don't do mistakes while rushing the last minute bets.
