I deposit some money at the end of the month. Now having interest to invest in this bitcoin I want to invest here. Should I invest my savings in Bitcoin?
Yes, you can invest in bitcoin since you have had interest in it since 2019. As you said, make sure you reserve some money for your upkeep so that you will not sell quickly if you need money for something very necessary. You can use some of your savings to invest in bitcoin; the method is called DCA, which means dollar cost average. Ensure that the money you are investing is something you won't use anytime soon because a long-term Bitcoin investment is more favorable and profitable than a short-term investment. Also note that Bitcoin investment is not a get-rich-quick scheme where you will expect a huge profit in a short period of time.

After De Rossi's leadership produced a good match for Roma even though it was a team below him but I think De Rossi deserves credit for being able to win and not get a lot of problems at the beginning of his career with Roma.
De Rossi will do a very good job from the initial season performance he displayed in the match against Cagliari, four goals is a good score for a new manager to prove himself worthy of his new appointment, and now other teams will start been cautious of facing Roma because the manger will try his best to make it to the Champions League next season.

Quote
Now the tough challenge for Roma is against Inter Milan even though playing at home I think we know Inter Milan is a strong team that was previously able to beat Juventus with a thin score, next week we have to see how with De Rossi's strategy by holding the draw it is good enough let alone win but the challenge will certainly be very heavy on his way.
Roma vs Inter Milan is a match that both the two teams need. Inter will want to keep their points gap between them and Juventus, while Roma will want to win Inter under the new manager since they have been losing to them for almost two seasons now.

If we consider the teams personal preference in their last four matches, they all have 100% performances in their last four matches which means that the match will be an interesting one to watch because anyone can win.

I was expecting this statement and here it is boldly discussed Grin. Klopp decision to leave the club was decided in the mid of the season and hence to announce to the world is the best so it doesn't get tense by the end of the season when he decided to leave and the club will prepare ahead of another coach which in my opinion is better, they wouldn't have to settle for rubbish manager just like the way Chelsea did in 2021 and till now, the position of the club has been compromised.
You're right—Jurgen Klopp gave them advance notice so they could begin making plans for his successor. Even though they have that in mind, some managers choose not to make this announcement. Instead, they put pressure on the team management to find a replacement quickly, which is typically bad for the team because, should they not be fortunate enough to have a good coach, the team's performance will decline until they find another stable and good manager.


Quote
Just because Arsenal hasn't been doing good, you don't think they don't deserve to win Liverpool right. I didn't pay too much attention to Liverpool this season not until I check their stats and I was shocked that they have only loss a single match, and they hve kept to that until they loss 2 days ago again. If Klopp continues to hold down and Salah comes back from Afcon, the team might stabilize a little bit and win some difficult matches ahead and still maintain the table.
Liverpool is having a great season more than Manchester City and Arsenal, they stand a chance to win the League because they have done all the necessary preparations; losing to Arsenal is not something they expected, but the absence of Mohammad Sallah affected their performance because he was the best player when they played Arsenal at Anfield. Nevertheless, Arsenal and Manchester City also have a chance to win the league if all of them keep performing great.

I suspect that the Ivorian might beat Nigeria in the finals to clinch the trophy. But the semi-final games will be tough and unpredictable. The home fans are always a great asset because they could serve as the 13th player, but the Congo D.R. is also a strong side. The Nigerian side for now is the best team but their inability to kill games through scoring goals might undue them. If the Super Eagles conceive more than one goal in a match, they might find it difficult to equalise because they are not a scoring side. But totally support the Super Eagles. 

Mostly, teams that qualified as best losers are always lucky, but this time I don’t think Ivory Coast can be lucky against the Super Eagles of Nigeria because the Super Eagles is the team with most reliable defense in the tournament. Ivory Coast have good wingers and midfielders, but their defense is not as good as the Super Eagle's defense which is why I am given much hope that the Super Eagle will emerge the winner and the Champions of this year 2023/24 Afcon competition. Nevertheless, anything can happen because football always gives us surprises that is why it is called the best sport in the world.

I think the most attention getting team in this journey is Ivory Coast. Because they are through the semi finals stage now despite not having a decent group stage progress.  Grin  I mean they were destroyed by Equatorial Guinea 4-0 and lost to Nigeria as well. Despite finishing the group in 3rd place their achievement is wonderful.
The host country Ivory Coast have a good team work that is why as they qualified to quarter final I have a bit assurance that they will progress to the semifinals because I know that they are a better side than Senegal and historically, Ivory Coast have good winning ratio over Senegal and Mali, that is why they were able to defeat them all.

Ivory coast might progress to the final because DR Congo has only win them once in their last five matches, while Ivory Coast won two, and they drew two as well; and the performance of both team is impressive, but Ivory Coast will have home advantage.


Quote
What do you think about their chance against D.R. Congo in this stage? The winner will probably play against Nigeria in the finale. I think D.R. Congo are a team to be careful about as they eliminated Egypt before. I really liked Fofana's effort for Ivory Coast in the last match. It would be needed here too.
Is the Nigeran team assured of the final?
They will play against South Africa that have gone very far too and have good team work, and Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is doubtful in the match. Nevertheless, Nigerian team have a good defensive line which are the best defensive team in the competition so far, I am thinking they will surely win the semifinals.

Leverkusen mustn't let Bayern Munich to win the match. We shouldn't doubt Leverkusen defense, they look strong enough. What we must feel a bit worried is the attackers of Leverkusen.

Just the way Bayern Munich need to win the match in order to keep hope of winning the League, that’s how Bayern Leverkusen will not also wants to lose the match to Bayern Munich because anyone of them that will lose that match will definitely affect their title challenge this because if Bayern Munich win the match, they will be two points head of Bayern Leverkusen, but if Leverkusen win the match, they will be five points ahead of Munich and it will be a good hope that they will win the League because they will not allow them losing to small teams so that they will keep their chance of winning the League since Dortmund that are usually the top title contenders have team to fight for the league compared for Leverkusen this season.

City really dominated the first half and that's what we're expecting because they're good at that. The home team Brentford tried to challenge the Citizens in the first to even get the opener, I hope they continue that way in this second half which I know is never going to be easy because Manchester City need a win to keep pressuring Arsenal and Liverpool for the title race. I think the only thing Brentford are going to get in this game is a draw, which is not too healthy for City so they (Manchester City) need to put more pressure to get a win.
Their dominance has started paying them as Fill Foden has scored the second goal scored another goal to make it 2-1 for Manchester City. Foden is doing a great job this days, he is a very good player that is now very important to the team because he is helping the team in different ways.

Manchester Cit will be happy to win this match because if they drop points, Arsenal will have less pressure and Manchester City is also willing to top the league; now if they win todays match, Manchester City will have the same points with Arsenal and just two points behind Liverpool.

Roma have started the match in a good way as Pellegrini was able to find the back of the net in 2mins after the match was declared open. An early goal is a good advantage for the host. Roma should be able to take advantage of this and win the match. De Rossi is the man for Roma from the look of things after he took over from Mourinho. The visitors was shocked with the early goal 2hich from was their defense, but they didn't allow the goal to way them down, and they have tried their best several times see if they can equalize the goal. Roma is in possession of the game.

ROM 1-0 CAG
The De Rossi boys are completely dominating the game and there is hope that more goals will be scored because of the energy the team is displaying under their new manager; if it was Mourinho, I don't think they will score up to four goals in the match. Pellegrini's early goal served as a catalyst for the boys, who scored two goals in the first half and another two in the second. Now it’s 4-0, this win will move them to the fifth position, their chance of playing a European competition next season is becoming possible.

Guys.... Wtf?


It's Wolves 3 - 4 Man Utd!

I didn't watch the game but I was staying abreast with the scores. Apparently, Wolves drew level with Man Utd (from 1 - 3 to 3-3) only for Kobie Mainoo to give Man Utd the winner! If anyone watched the game, please share your thoughts. I'll watch the highlights when it becomes available.

Tbh, I don't this would be another boring Man Utd game. I didn't know there would be so much drama in today's game!
Manchester United has to tighten up and make good adjustments and change some patterns before they were able to get the lucky goal, but to be honest, I also wanted them to draw the match because of the chances they miss and some of the errors they were making. Teams like Liverpool and Manchester City cannot struggle to win match if they were able to have an initial score or 3-1 lead, but this shows that Manchester United need more tactical amendment in order to polish for Champions League qualification next season.

If Bayern fails to defend the title, of course Tuchel will be the person most to blame, but we must also realize that the competition for the Bundesliga title this season is much fiercer than the previous season because the Leverkusen team currently has strength comparable to Bayern.
I think the rumors about Jurgen Klopp are groundless because Jurgen Klopp has said that he wants to rest first, of course next season he will not manage the team.

It seems that Bayern in Tuchel's hands is also very strong and even stronger than in the previous season, but they are inconsistent and fierce competition from other top Bundesliga teams is making it quite difficult for Tuchel this season.
You are right if Bayern doesn't win the title, some people might blame Tuchel. But we should remember that the competition this season is much harder than before. The Leverkusen team is also very strong, like Bayern. So it's not fair to only blame Tuchel. There are other things that affect the team performance. Overall Tuchel has shown that Bayern is a strong team with him as the coach. But the other top teams in the Bundesliga and the team inconsistency have made it hard for him this season.
I am still thinking that Leverkusen will do like Arsenal of last season, as Arsenal almost got to the winning the Premier League until their last four matches where they drop some vital points which gave experienced Manchester City chance to win the Premier League ahead of them. Leverkusen might have a different condition as Arsenal because Alonso is very serious with the competition and as Tuchel is not too serious, they might win the League ahead of Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid will play against Getafe today in the Laliga continuation match, there is no doubt that Real Madrid will get three points in this match because Getafe can be said to be an ordinary team and they have quite a hard time every time they have to play Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean that Real Madrid will win with easy because Getafe's home match is a match that gives them quite a lot of points and it is recorded that in home games this season Getafe only lost once even though they will have difficulty beating Real Madrid, but producing one point is a wide open opportunity for the home team so Real Madrid must be wary of that because a draw will be detrimental for them and provide an advantage for Girona who will open up opportunities for them to catch up with Real Madrid in the standings.
Jude Bellingham will return to play in a match with Real Madrid and his role will be eagerly awaited in bringing his team to achieve maximum results.
The last time Getafe beat Real Madrid was in 2022, but after then, Real Madrid has won all their matches against Getafe, and Getafe was not in a good form this season, their performance is not consistent and they are currently the tenth position in the LaLiga table, they are not like a team that will make it to either Champions League or Europa League; as a result of that, Real Madrid must win this match to be the first position in the LaLiga table, winning this match will make the go two points ahead of Girona.


Jude Bellingham's return to the field will be exciting, and I think Real Madrid will win this game, but Real Madrid must take the game seriously. Based on their previous performance, Real Madrid struggles to score goals early in a game, and a goal is crucial to winning. Getafe is not a team with a small roster, as I have seen. They can play very well and have wing players who can score goals. All I have to do is advise Real Madrid to take the game seriously and win with three goals.
With or without Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid will win this match; I am even betting for Real Madrid to win more than two goals because they will be keen to top the table and start their title run since, they will give Girona two points gap.

Manchester City has solid composition between their main and reserve players, in phase group matches Pep Guardiola losses many main players but its not problem for him how the same level with reserve players and The Citizen easily manage group standings position. I think has opportunity for Manchester City for defending their UEFA Champion League tittle in this season but depend on drawing match schedule on quarter final until semifinal round.
Manchester City should not be scared of any draw now since they have all the players they need, for them to defend their Champions League title this season, they should be able to take any team been given to them since all their main players are back and fit. Just the way the Citizens are fully fit, other teams are fit and ready for the battle as well, and I am very sure that the Citizens will not find it easy to defend the title because Real Madrid and other clubs are also fit and have the quality to win the Champions League title as well. I am not supporting them to win because I am confident that they will not win the Champions League this season.


Quote
I doubt with Bayern Munich performance in Champion League this season, seems less opportunity for winning Champion League actually after looking their inconsistency performance in Bundesliga. Has easy opponent team in 16 round against Lazio but doubt chance for Bayern when facing Man City or Real Madrid in quarter final or semifinal round.
Bayern Munich's performance is not consistent this season, they are yet to overtake Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title challenge; with this, I also don't think they can win the Champions League. I am counting on some teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG, and Inter Milan because they are all on form and can do something reasonable more than Bayern Munich this season.

The worse Chelsea were this year, the better Liverpool were, so I don't think they have much of a chance. Liverpool are currently the winners of the EPL. You know the teams they left behind. A nightmare night for Chelsea will soon begin. It is true that Chelsea have been showing signs of recovery in recent weeks, but it is really difficult for things to go their way tonight.

Since Liverpool's next match after this match will be Arsenal, they have to progress these weeks very carefully.
Chelsea is not in good form this season, and they are not consistent in their performance, they cannot do anything to stop Liverpool at Anfield as they have already conceded two goals in the first half, and the match is still going om because with the way Liverpool dominated the match, they might score more goals before the end of the match.
Although Liverpool at Anfield is not always easy to win, so I didn't expect an inconsistent Chelsea to get a point against Liverpool even though some Arsenal and Manchester City fans will be hoping for Chelsea to get at least one point in the game.

The Bayern Munich Vs Augsburg result did not make me happy. Although they got 3 points, it seems that Munich did not play in the best condition. Indeed, this result also makes Tuchel's position a little safe from pressure from management. Because there is news that Tuchel is rumored to be interested in Barcelona. This is because Xavi has given a statement that he will leave at the end of this season. Another news is Manuel Nuer's contract renewal. He is 37 years old and is currently recovering.
Bayern Munich is after the three points outcomes of the match because they know that if they lose match yesterday, the points gap between them and Leverkusen will be five instead of two, therefore, it is an important win for them.

Tuchel been interested in Barcelona Job is still a rumor, it is not yet confirmed, although his relationship between and the Bayern Mangement was affected back then where he was not been able to coach the team for some games; if he take Barcelona's job, it will not be a surprising thing to so many people because we know that he is not a coach that stays in one team for long.

Barcelona were having a hard time winning and were lucky they were still given the opportunity to experience something they had been waiting for for quite a long time. The narrow 1-0 win against Osasuna was a very important asset for the confidence of the players and even though they were at a disadvantage because Ferran Torres was injured in the first half, in the end they were still able to survive this match without drawing or losing.

Vitor Roque, who was the super sub in this match, immediately scored his debut goal with Barcelona and Xavi's decision to keep him on the bench and introduce him in the second half was very correct. Right after Vitor Roque scored a goal, one of Osasuna's players, Unai Garcia, received a second yellow card which forced him to leave the field.

Even though Barcelona had the superior number of players, they still couldn't increase their advantage and Osasuna actually started to put a little pressure on them after that incident. I think winning like sometimes is not necessarily safe for Barcelona and they have to increase the goal margin in the next match to avoid unwanted results. Once again, congratulations to Vitor Roque who scored the only goal in the match and also became a hero for Barcelona to secure full points at home.
Congratulations to them on winning this one, but to frank, I am not happy with Barcelona's performance overall this season; Look at the points they accumulated, and their position, they are almost seven points behind Real Madrid that is still having one outstanding match, and they are eight points behind the league leaders Girona which is not supposed to be like that for team like Barcelona that we expected to be the top title contender together with Real Madrid. Nevertheless, I think Barcelona is having some internal issues withing the management which might have been the main reason why Xavi announcing his statement to quit his job at the end of this season.

Kudos to Victor Roque for scoring his first LaLiga goal in a crucial moment where the goal is needed. He has already proven his quality in team so that even if Xavi leave at the end of the season, his performance will fight for space for him in the team.

Personally I don't think Aston Villa deserve to finish in the top four of the points table. It is true that this team has performed very well since the beginning of the season. But at the moment the performance of the team is very poor. And we haven't seen better performances from Aston Villa in recent matches either. They can't play well even against relatively weaker teams.

I expected a better performance from Villa against Newcastle. But Aston Villa conceded two goals in the first half. And in the second half they could not make a comeback. Eddie Howe is an experienced coach. In the second half he changed his game strategy and tightened Newcastle's defence. Aston Villa will need to be more tactical if they want to stay in the top four of the table. I didn't like Aston Villa's match strategy in today's match.
They have done their own for time, this is the time to that Uni Emrey will know the strength of the Premier League. They started with a good performance thinking it will lead them to the title challenge, not knowing Thet they have to be very clinical before they can even make it to the Champions League because almost all the big teams in the Premier League have waken up and every team is fighting for a better spot before the season ends.

The main pride Aston Villa has been their unbeaten run while playing at Villa Park which was broken by Newcastle United that are not in good form this season. This clearly show that they are not ready to even make top four because if they continue like is, I doubt if they will be able to make it to the Champions League.

Leverkusen just need to play their usual game. As long as they aren't on their unlucky day they should be able to get past Darmstadt obstacle easily. I hope to see as many goals as possible from Leverkusen as well to make up for the last result in the best way possible.  Smiley

Besides I don't give it much probability but maybe Bayern Munich might get a surprising result against Gladbach considering their near history. If this happens it would be great for Leverkusen. However it is too optimistic to think about this possibility, right?  Grin
It's normal to drop point, and besides that, Gladbach is not a small team to underrate, they are not just in good form this season, therefore. dropping points against them is normal and I am still confident of Leverkusen in this season's Bundesliga title.

Bayern Munich might also drop points against Gladbach because when you go through the statistics of their last five matches, you will see a lot of possibilities for Bayern to drop points because Gladbach is always a strong opponent for Bayern Munich, and now that they are looking a way to accumulate some points in order to move up, I don't think they will take it easy with Munich either.
