I would also say that, but I think Barcelona has moved up a level compared to last season. Their defense is improving, the midfielders and strikers have been very good, so I think it's only a matter of time. If Barcelona is supported by good financial conditions, then I'm sure Xavi can build a stronger team. Xavi needs a good left wingger instead of rotating Dembele and Raphinha in those two positions, but if Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres do well then that will also help a lot.

Xavi still needs many of players to establish his performance in midfield and attack, but financial problems have so far prevented the realization of those plans. But after all Barcelona can still compete with the current composition of the team, but it is difficult to achieve great success in Europe.

Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres deserve to be let go, if there are better offers. or, at least, Torres would be better off let go. Raphinha, I haven't seen his best yet. in fact, its performance tends to go ups and downs. well, if Xavi wants to build a stronger team, he must first bring in a successor to replace Busquets. at the very least, one that was almost on par with him both in experience and ingenuity when it came to managing his teammates. there is no choice, if Xavi has to persuade Gundohan to be willing to play with Barcelona.

For defenders, I think Barcelona is quite strong but it seems like Kounde still needs a better adaptation because sometimes he underperforms several times.
for me, ideally Barcelona let Raphinha go. because it seems that he does not suit the style of the system that Xavi applies, Bernaldo Silva can play in various positions instead. well, for domestic competition. I'm pretty sure, if the probability that Barcelona has to defend its title is wide open. but in this competition, I doubt it enough if there aren't many changes that Xavi has made by bringing in several newcomers. unfortunately, they have financial problems.

The upcoming season in Saudi Arabia is expected to be highly competitive and challenging. Following Al-Ittihad's recruitment, Al-Nassr is also gearing up for new season. Hakim Ziyech, who is reportedly close to finalizing personal terms with the club. Ziyech isi one of my favorite players at Stamford Bridge. I feel that he still has a lot to offer and would have preferred if he stayed in Europe for another season. However, sometimes things don't go as planned. As things stand, it would be exciting to see Ronaldo, Ziyech, and Zaha combination for Al-Nassr next season.

Ziyech still has what he can offer, even how he is currently playing with the Moroccan national team at that time by playing quite impressively. unfortunately, his career with Chelsea did not go as smoothly as he had hoped. of all the coaches who handled Chelsea, Ziyech was not always included in the club's plans. now is the time, for him to get more minutes and playing time. at least, there's no way Al Nassr will let him just sit on the bench. Reportedly, Al Nassr and Hakimi Ziyech have reached an agreement on personal terms, the final details of the contract are being sealed.

Chelsea will also receive a fee for Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly who are close to joining Al Hilal and are due to be completed this week. for Auba, apparently still in negotiations with Saudi clubs. talks are ongoing, no agreement yet - but there are active discussions. well, at least, Al Nassr is one step ahead of the other 4 teams. even if Auba prefers to join another club, at least Al Nassr is more prepared than the other teams. Let's see and wait, which other European players are the targets of Saudi clubs.

I'm not sure how many times you've all been talking about the new Chelsea coach - while you forget the many other good managers who can punish Chelsea just like last season. Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Eric Ten Hag and a few others have better teams and experience than Pochettino - so don't think only Chelsea can do well next season while you ignore a lot of other teams.

About Chelsea - they are not favourites. I hope Liverpool will be much more impressive next season after being almost as bad as Chelsea this season. Liverpool's form has been ridiculous this season - so we need a lot of room for improvement for next season.

I am very sure, Pep Guardiola will certainly bring his team as the favorite. or, they will be much stronger and more powerful next season by strengthening their 3-2-4-1 system.

Ten Hag is currently working on bringing in newcomers that suit the needs of the team, plus, players according to their typical style and strategy. in essence, their focus is on the center forward and not just rely on Rashford and at the same time need a midfielder. I'm pretty sure Ten Hag will find the player he needs and one that will make United a lot tougher than last season.

Chelsea and Pochettino, let's see how they carry out their matches when the new season starts again.

Liverpool, Klopp is very aware that his squad last season could not be fully relied on, especially the defensive line and midfielder players.  therefore, Klopp brought Mac Allister to Anfield.  but not only with Mac Allister, at least Klopp will target several other players to improve his squad so that they appear competitive next season.

Arsenal, my favorite premier league club. I only hope they will be able to return to their best game and maintain their consistency.  if they're lucky, they could potentially win a trophy although I don't get my hopes up too far.

Newcastle, I don't really follow them. but if, Eddie Howe remains in the style of play as last season. I'm not sure if they can survive in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Well, at least next season we will see these teams competing even tighter and more exciting. so, let's just let these teams do their job while in an effort to strengthen into the squad for the next season.

Leverkusen have made a big progress since Xabi Alonso arrived at the team. They were strolling around the relegation area before he came. People were wondering how successful Xabi Alonso could be. Because he was an inexperienced manager as you know. This was going to be his first proper manager experience and he started with a pretty decent team like Leverkusen.

He came here to take a big responsibility to save this team from the threat of relegation. But he dealt with this situation pretty well. He didn't just make do with making the team get away from the relegation area. They even secured a spot for the Europa League by finishing as the 6th.

The board must be loving him now. However I'm pretty sure next season's target will be top 4. As Xabi Alonso will be in control as of the beginning of a season this time, I think he can do this tough work also.

No one doesn't appreciate what Xabi Alonso, the figure behind the revival of Bayern Leverkusen, has done.

At the beginning of the season, Leverkusen was handled by Gerardo Soene from Switzerland. This coach, was the coach who brought Leverkusen to 3rd position in the 21/22 season as well as being the best record in the last 5 seasons. unfortunately, in the following season Leverkusen experienced a very significant decline in performance. which in the end Leverkusen appointed Xavi Alonso, although the start of his journey was not smooth. however, under his tutelage the Leverkusen team has slowly risen even though they have not yet found their consistency. but in the end, Xabi Alonso was able to bring Bayern Leverkusen to finish 6th in the Bundesliga and at the same time secure a place in the Europa League. I think Xabi will continue to bring Leverkusen in a better direction next season.

Unfortunately, despite having an agreement with Xhaka, Leverkusen will have to wait for Arsenal to get a replacement. Xhaka can be relied upon by Xabi Alonso next season, and maybe some other newcomers. the point is, I like Xabi Alonso's strategy. Alonso has always stressed the importance of ball possession at Leverkusen where the build-up of attacks can start from the back line to the centre-backs, who have an important role as players who initiate attacks. however, they can also play a fast-paced style of game when the opportunity arises. well, just look at how Xabi Alonson will prepare his team in the coming season.

Arsenal is also bidding for Romeo Lavia the Southampton youngster who will likely replace injury prone Thomas Partey at the midfield, honestly Partey made some costly error this season that cost the team losing some crucial matches of it by losing possession to his opponents easily therefore the earlier he leaves the better.
Is Romeo Lavia the player that Arsenal really need? He is good and has the signs to be a superstar player tomorrow, but is he exactly what Arsenal will want to gamble on in this next season both in the premier league and in the champions league where they have just had an opportunity after a very long time. Can Romeo Lavia play against the big teams, he is very young and just 19 years of age, he has no serious experience for what Arsenal needs in the champions league defensive midfield position. Arsenal need experienced players, even if they will get this youngster, they still need experienced players in that position to join with Jorginho.

Right. Actually, I don't really know Romeo Lavia's track record. but if he is a good player, Arsenal may bring him to the Emirates Stadium. but, unfortunately he is still very young. So there are a lot of doubts, if he can play at a high level when playing in big leagues like the Champions League. however, if the price offered by Southampton is cheap, maybe Lavia can be considered as a potential replacement for Partey next season.

So I think Arsenal should keep Partey at the Emirates for at least one more season. because after all, he is still needed even though in the last few weeks before the league is over his performance has decreased. well, if Partey leaves, Arsenal will only have Jorginho. and Arsenal, still in dire need of a very experienced player. in fact, Partey can be played in two positions as a wing-back. so there's nothing wrong, keep Partey.
For Rice, the price is too high if West Ham insists on a £100 million price tag. I thought, not an ideal purchase.

So far, I haven't heard much about Barcelona's development to prepare its squad for next season.
Rúben Neves, who previously had a personal agreement with Barcelona, ​​has now moved to play for a club from the Saudi League. So, maybe Xavi has to find another ideal player to replace Busquets. unfortunately, Barcelona is hampered by financial problems to move freely to bring in the players they need.
maybe that's why, Xavi repeatedly tried to contact Gundohan so he would join Barca. but unfortunately, the player has not made his decision. I hope he wants to leave at Camp Nou. I'm pretty sure Gundohan would be ideal partnered with De Jong.

On the other hand, I read that Barcelona will sign the talented centre-back Mikayil Faye. for sure, we don't know how this young player is doing, but hopefully Xavi doesn't choose the wrong player. well, just one interesting thing, Barcelona is closing in on a deal with Paranaense for Vitor Roque, a verbal deal at a late stage. we don't even know how this player made a career with his home club. but considering his young age and position as a center forward. apparently, he will only be Lewandowski's second substitute player. hopefully, Xavi can bring in players who suit the needs of the team.

I wonder what PSG was thinking when they had given Mbappé authority over other players in the team. Did they think that it was going to bring them to the Champions League? Or did they think that just bringing in great attacking players to the team and ignoring the other positions is going to bring them the Champions League trophy?

Sometimes I do not understand what PSG thinks. After bringing in so many great players they are asking the question which is, why the team is not doing as well as they should? They never thought that the team was not balanced and the coach also did not have enough authority over the players. Why are so many great players, like Lionel Messi, and Neymar Junior are going to listen to a coach that does not have many achievements?

Regards

Duke

We only have answers based on assumptions and speculation. but what is certain, we will not know exactly what actually happened within the PSG camp, both between players and club management. IMO, the club should not give special privileges to only one player who in the end he himself did not decide to renew his contract with the club.
Another factor, I often say, is that PSG is not handled by people who are competent in their field. maybe we can also say, PSG should be under a seasoned coach who has a track record in his career. plus, the coach has control over the players both on the field, locker room, and involves the coach when it comes to bringing in newcomers.

but what I see, quite the opposite. yep, like you said in this post. even so, I don't think it's entirely the coach's fault.
Supposedly, PSG's management is also responsible for why they can't be as successful as City. not only from a coach who is great and has quality, but all involved such as staff, officials, understand their respective duties including in terms of future players.
from my point of view, PSG are sharp up front but on the other lines they are still lacking a lot, especially the midfield players. should, PSG can be as great as City. then, why do I always compare with City. because both of these clubs, are owned by middle eastern countries. they have abundant financials, but PSG is not handled properly by people who are professionals in their field. Now, rumors suggest PSG are hoping to seal a deal with Luis Enrique.  we'll see, how the next development.

Graham Potter is still without club now. I thought he shouldn't have been signed by Chelsea in the first place as I saw it as a risk. Because Chelsea can be much more successful with managers who have at least a decent experience with big teams in Europe. Potter wasn't such manager so it is normal to have doubts about him.

I'm afraid he couldn't prove me wrong about this and his time was a big failure. I think he should go back to managing average teams in the league. I'm not saying this to belittle him of course. I'm saying it because he is much more successful with such teams. We have all seen how good he was with Brighton in the end.

Funny enough I thought Potter will do great at Chelsea. He was really good at Brighton and I felt he will replicate the same performance with Chelsea. How wrong I was. I really don't know what happened t Potter in Chelsea but he was beyond awful. His team played so badly. Chelsea should have fired him earlier.
But then again, Chelsea went ahead to hire Lampard. What exactly were they thinking? If Chelsea had gotten a better manager after sacking Potter they would have finished in a better place on the table. probably not a among the top 6, but definitely not 12th position.

It seems you are oversimplifying something. imagine, how this mess was started by Todd Boehly. Graham Potter was sacked after just seven months in charge of Chelsea. but wait, Chelsea must fulfill the calculations regarding compensation for the dismissal. it was originally touted that Potter could potentially receive £50 million in salary benefits, but other reports suggest Chelsea have only paid £13 million in benefits. imagine, if he was fired earlier. that means, Chelsea must pay a larger amount than that.

Well, now the question is, why did Chelsea bring in a mediocre coach. because a coach who has a proven track record does not want his career to be at stake if he is unable to bring Chelsea back to life after being left by Tuchel. maybe that's why, Todd Boehly finally made an offer to Potter. as I said before, from 9 matches Potter was able to bring Chelsea without defeat. but trouble came when Chelsea's players were again hit by injuries, which in the end Potter was unable to handle them properly. it seemed unfair to me to place all the blame on Potter's shoulders. he has done his best, unfortunately maybe not the time for Potter to manage a team as big as Chelsea. well, how, is it worth Potter to bear the blame for which Todd should be responsible.

I'm not sure it's a draw, even favorite and play at home, Indonesia doesn't have the capacity to face the 2nd tiers Argentine squad. but, anything can happen, I am even more interested if Indonesia plays the U-22 squad like they got Gold on sea games 2023. maybe that's more impressive and prestigious than Senior player.

Obviously, because these two teams are different classes. Argentina is ranked 1st in FIFA, while Indonesia is ranked 149th. Imagine, there is a very significant gap. So, the question is whether this match has the potential to be a draw. terotically, no!. even though Argentina will not be playing its main squad, it's hard to imagine that this match will end in a draw. that's why the margin for a draw at odds @17.00, looks very tempting. but what's more tempting is the Indonesian odds with @41.00. these odds will still change, before the match is held. how are you interested in betting on a draw, maybe not at all. especially if you expect the home team to win the match, something that is almost impossible even though in football anything can happen. ideally, bet on the Under/Over.

I just want to see this match as entertainment, moreover we are well aware that Argentina will not play seriously. but I hope that Indonesia will play as well as possible and as much as they can. in particular, in preparation for the 2023 Asian Cup competition which will be held soon. btw, we have talented young players and currently the development of football has increased quite a bit, especially at the junior level. It's a shame, at the senior national team level, we don't have much to be proud of.

Do you think the results of the research above are correct?

If this is the result of a research, the possibility can be accounted for. it's just that, in each country the results of the research will vary. because, in several other countries gambling is a common activity and even becomes part of the culture of their ancestors. for example, the Chinese consider gambling to be part of their culture.

I know that the number of women involved in gambling is very small because in some countries, people's views of female gamblers are still very bad and they are considered dirty and unfit to be a wife.

We agree, but in today's era gambling knows no gender. because, we can access it easily only via cellular. In the past, people who wanted to gamble had to visit land-based casinos, and most were dominated by men because some women were reluctant to visit land-based casinos. now we can easily access it easily without traveling with only cellphones and the internet. So, based on what you said it is no longer valid. why, nowadays we find many cases related to women who experience addiction, whether it's offline casinos, especially for online casinos. at this time, gambling is not something as taboo as you say. In fact, there are lots of women who like to play slot machines in online casinos. I often encounter this phenomenon in my own environment.

But generally, it is more predominately men who like to gamble than women.

You could be right because a lot of people have said that Pochettino is a coach with good experience in big teams. Chelsea can expect Pochettino to be able to bring success to his squad, especially regarding team performance. I think we all still don't know what impact Pochettino will have on Chelsea's form, but there is good hope of him next season.

Chelsea are expected to improve with Pochettino, but I believe he will not be able to win titles for Chelsea in one season. Qualification for the Champions League and European competition next season is the most likely wish, but I don't expect him to be able to rival Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Not something impossible, if Chelsea could have done it. after all, they are only focused on the Premier League. after all, Chelsea is also still involved in the hunt for players to add to the strength of its squad next season. but what is certain, we agree that we have not been able to measure Pochettino's performance with Chelsea. because, the new season has not started yet. plus, there are some very strong competitors in this competition. City will remain the favorite team, besides that there is also Arsenal who are increasing the depth of their squad. Newcastle, ready to compete more competitively next season. Liverpool, in the stage of improvement and Klopp really knows what he has to do. that means, Pochettino's job is not easy because next season's Premier League competition is likely to be more lively than last season.

Fortunately, IMO, Pochettino's main task is not too heavy with only focus on the Premier League. at least, he already had a previous picture when Lampard was an interim coach who was tasked with exploring all available players. well, Pochettino's next task is only to select his players, after that he can start by experimenting with various systems according to the available players. but don't get your hopes up, if Chelsea can immediately finish in 1st place. at least, being in the top 4 is already an achievement in the midst of Chelsea's situation which is in the revamping phase.

i can't see yet whether what the teams in the SPL league are doing right now is the right move, just look at what they are doing by buying star players from European clubs and bringing them to the SPL (i remember the failure of the Chinese league and USA league that spends big money to buy star players)

There are some differences with the china super league, which is for sure they failed to make their football more advanced. different from the Saudis, in short what the Saudis are doing is a new step and at the same time a promotion for the 2030 world cup. The original goal was none other than, all the eyes of the world were on the Saudis and they succeeded in doing that. on another agenda, they are promoting to host the 2030 world cup. plus, making Ronaldo an ambassador.
well, after I investigated from various sources, that the four giant pro saudi league clubs had been acquired by prince Mohamad bin Salman through his company Public Investment Fund "PIF" each owned by PIF bought 75 percent of the shares of the four Saudi Arabian clubs, with  the remaining 25 percent is owned by the respective club's non-profit organizations.

This step was taken by Prince Mohamamad to improve the sports sector of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is an initial step in the privatization project of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. by the way, i'm not going to put the news links i said. because, it seems that only from searching you can get a lot of information from various sources, both from your local country and international news. IMO, there is another agenda that becomes their project while at the same time introducing Saudi Arabia apart from its religious culture and at the same time involving other business projects.  well, to find out more whether the steps they are taking are correct, we will find out later.

PSG management seems dissatisfied with galtier this season because they have failed in the UCL, and they need another great coach to boost PSG's performance, i'm pretty sure Luis will make a big change to the PSG squad.

I have also read this rumor via Fabrizio Romano's tweet and Paris Saint-Germain are in further talks to appoint Luis Enrique as the new head coach. but we'll see, whether there will be an agreement between PSG and Enrique, who previously failed to agree with Nagelsmann.

In as much as I don't know if Hakim Ziyech services will be needed by the new club manager at Chelsea, I know very well that his teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and it'll be a good decision for him to go to the Saudi Arabian League where he'll definitely get juicy financial offer.
Al-Nassr already has Cristiano Ronaldo as their player and adding big forward players like the Chelsea duo will make them a very strong attacking line to be faced by any club in their league
Al Nassr seems very serious for next season, and with rival clubs they are also buying players to strengthen the existing squad it has spurred them to bring in players who can also make them even more competitive. What Al Nassr did was emulated by his rival teams, so Al Nassr must also make more moves so he doesn't fail again next season.
Ziyech will be able to serve as a supplier of balls for Ronaldo because of course Al Nassr will continue to make his mega star shine next season, by providing other players who can support their strikers, and if Aubameyang also goes there Talisca will probably play less next season because it's impossible Al Nassr brought in Aubameyang only to be on the bench.

Right, Al Nassr's ambition to win the Saudi Pro League competition trophy is clearly visible by intending to bring in Ziyech and at the same time Aubameyang. these two players, can play a role in helping Ronaldo in terms of scoring goals. we'll see, whether the negotiations between Al Nassr and Chelsea run smoothly. if so, you can be sure that Al Nasr will be sharper up front. and if the negotiations don't go well, I'm pretty sure they'll be looking for other players. So, the question is whether Al Nassr will also bring in a midfielder. if so, it is confirmed that this team has enough depth to compete for trophies in the new season.

interestingly, there are 3 clubs that have not been actively engaged in the hunt to bring in top European players. Al Hilal failed to bring Messi, now they are targeting Rubén Neves who plays as a midfielder. Reportedly, negotiations are ongoing as reported by Fabrizio Romano. ideally, they would also sign a forward but it seems they are weighing the ideal option. there are only two teams that are still not serious, Al-Ahli has stated that he wants Auba, but it seems that Al-Nassr will not let him. Al Shabab also targeted Auba, once again, Al Nassr is in the negotiation stage. well, which other top players will they be after. because if not, next season's competition is not ideal for them because Al Ittihad and Al Nassr have signed some top players. so, let's wait.

Priorities matters in all of this. La Liga is important to win just like the champions league. At least if he can’t win both, he shouldn’t lose both of them. I respect Xavi’s coaching style and I’m sure he’s going to do better by next season. The team is currently facing financial challenges, but I hope they’re able to find a way out to be able to sign new players to fill the void against next season, most especially the champions league competition.
I think it will take time for xavi to bring Barcelona back strong in the Champions league. Last season Barcelona was eliminated in the grub phase and this season we hope Xavi can bring Barcelona further forward in the Champions League.  I think one of the best strengths that Xavi has this season is their success in winning the Laliga which makes them more confident for next season in the Champions League. Xavi is not full of experience in the Champions League yet, but I see that he has quite the same character as Pep and it's just that he needs time and a long process to bring Barcelona back to become the strongest team in the Champions League.

This team, too, is one of my favorite teams besides the Gunners. As a Barcelona supporter, I'm happy they won La Liga. Now, Xavi is preparing for the new season and once again competing in the Champions League. unfortunately for me personally, Barcelona cannot be said to be a strong team in this competition. at the very least, they needed more team depth. in a way, bringing in some newcomers. unfortunately, financial problems prevented them from moving freely in this summer's transfer window.

IMO, ideally, if Xavi can bring Gundohan and Bernardo Silva to Camp Nou. Barcelona has new additions of ammunition, even they will be stronger than before. I'm pretty sure, with these two players at least Barca deserve to get to the last eight or the quarter-finals. for trophies, it looks like there are some stronger contenders than them. one more thing, like Arteta, Xavi often makes blunders and mistakes in the placement of his players. plus, the lack of players who play a role in helping Lewandowski. however, let's see how Barcelona will carry out the match in the new season and at the same time when they play the match in the Champions League.

So if most Friendly Match results end with a draw, why we don't bet on a draw? isn't that a profit?.
As we can see until the end of June [1], there are dozens of friendly matches we can bet. But, like you said, hard to predict, German lost again in Poland (16/6), and last night, we get a draw again in Ecuador vs Bolivia.

So, there is euphoria in Indonesia when they have a special guest team (world cup champion), Argentine. I don't brave to bet on a draw, because most likely (where don't have a strong defender) Indonesia will get lots of goals from Argentine.

[1]. https://www.eurosport.com/football/international-friendlies/calendar-results.shtml

Wow, it seems I missed a lot of information related to friendly matches. So far, I've only focused on the league. but let's discuss it, in theory we have to see the two teams that will compete before we make a bet. I'm sure you also agree with what I'm saying. referring to what you said, the problem is not why we bet on a draw or as I said the Under/Over option and also not a question of profit, but rather whether it is interesting for me the friendly match. to be honest, not at all and therefore I didn't really pay much attention to observing. but, if these friendly matches are more interesting and profitable then you can have fun with them.

Well, this is interesting. indirectly, you led me to research the Poland vs Germany match. based on statistics, Germany mastered ball possession and tactics. but apparently, the Germans are more experimenting with their system. in fact, they tried to play long balls. I didn't watch the match, but it seems that there was an attempt by Germany to penetrate the Polish defense. and yes, as we agreed, friendlies tend to be less serious and there were a lot of substitutions early in the second half from both teams. Naturally, if Germany loses, they don't play their full squad.

Well this is the interesting part, Indonesia is my country. even rumors, Messi and Di Maria will not play. even so, it won't be a problem for Argentina because these two teams have a very significant gap. Unfortunately, I didn't get the predicted line-up for the two teams. but after all, as you said, it is highly likely that Argentina will score against Indonesia. if you predict there will be a lot of goals in this match, you can bet the under/over option of 4.25 with odds @1.90.
btw, this match is important for our national team. why, because they will face the squad that won the 2022 world cup. it doesn't matter how we lose, but the effect is huge for the mentality of the players going forward. and it is an honor for us, the world cup winning team, to be willing to visit Indonesia.

Several Saudi Pro League teams moved very quickly in developing their strengths by trying to bring in some of Europe's top players. There are a lot of players being linked with them at the moment and some of them have reached an agreement. They have a lot of money to offer any player, and if they continue to do so over the next few seasons then the quality of the Saudi Pro League will be better than ever.

Money would change everything about them, but I think they knew that it would also greatly support their profitable business. Chelsea have quite a lot of players in stock to sell, so it's certain they will make a big profit if a deal goes through.

The Saudi trend is hot for now. in fact, they don't only target players who have entered the age of 30+. Al Hilal recently made a big bid to sign Rubén Neves, despite not being a star player, but negotiations are ongoing as Wolves prefer to sell after a long wait for Barcelona. although the player agreed personal terms with Barca in May, so far there has been no green light. it could be that Rubén Neves is willing to leave for Al Hilal especially if he is offered a sizable salary.

A few days earlier, it was reported that Hakim Ziyech was in demand by Al Nassr even at the same time as Aubameyang. in fact, negotiations are ongoing and this has been confirmed by Chelsea. well, there are two big clubs that have not decided to bring in European players, namely Al Ahli and Al Shabab. Let's see how far the top Saudi league clubs are hunting for European players. we agree, if there will be many changes that occur in the league. at the very least, the competition will get even more competitive and maybe also in a few seasons the quality of the Saudi Pro League will improve a bit.

Well, I have a slightly different view from you. true, if money will change everything. it's just that, if Saudi doesn't foster young people by having a good academy. I don't think there will be much change other than bringing in former big stars.

Well, the problems started originally with Graham Potter. His invitation was probably the key mistake because before Chelsea he had no big clubs and the result was average in Chelsea itself at first, but after the purchase of star players it became even worse. Apparently with the arrival of new stars Potter finally lost control.
The invitation of Lampard was also incomprehensible, because before that he had been sacked just because of poor results.

Poccetino has experience working with the most star players, so at least he shouldn't have a problem with discipline. The main thing is to show results in the beginning to return everyone's confidence that Chelsea are still a top club.

In fact, the problem lies with Todd Boehly not Graham Potter. he was only chosen, because other coaches did not want to handle the situation that was facing Chelsea. The thing is, there's a reputation at stake. which in the end, Potter accepted the offer with the risk that was on his shoulders. Initially Chelsea went well under Potter, unfortunately the problem came when there were many Chelsea players who were hit by injuries. at the same time, Chelsea was getting worse and worse so Potter became Todd Boehly's scapegoat. after that, none of the coaches were willing to handle Chelsea which in the end Lampard tried his luck again. with the scenario, if successful his career will recover. unfortunately, under his tutelage everything is getting messy even though Chelsea has brought in many newcomers even with expensive bandrol.

Now, Poccetino is their official coach. he should be able to fix Chelsea back to improve. at least, can compete at the top of the Premier League.  because, they do not have a busy schedule like other teams. Well, the new season hasn't started yet, there's a lot of work for the new coach. his current job, releasing players who weren't part of his project. the rest, he can start to build chemistry.

Only if mbappe wants it. The problem is mbappe unwilling to leave from the club until his contract expired. PSG had no choice other than keeping him for another season.
So many parties are suggesting PSG to sell mbappe but the problem is the process to sell him is not as simple as people said. It will go through complicated process to make mbappe to do personal agreement to leave from the club.
That is the main reason why PSG is not yet determining the future of him in the club.

Except, if Manchester United was successfully acquired by the Qatari side. thus, Mbappe's move to United could happen. although the possibility is very small, but before that the Qatari party had said that if United had been acquired they would target 5 stars at once. unfortunately, so far there is no certainty regarding the progress of the agreement from Glazer and Sheikh Jassmin. maybe that's why, PSG haven't decided anything yet. but I believe this process is being considered by PSG management.

On the contrary, in fact Madrid could have personally approached Mabeppe if he really needed his services. after all, PSG's contract remains only one season. that means, Madrid can make an agreement with PSG regarding the price to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu. that way, Madrid doesn't have to bother signing Harry Kane at a very fantastic price. I'm pretty sure, even though Mbappe has stated that he wants to stay with PSG until his contract expires. but what is certain, PSG will not let them want it or not they will try to sell him. I think, this is the time for Madrid to bring him but with the condition that the price can be mutually agreed upon.

If PSG have changed their mind about Mourinho then Nagelsmann might be the one to take over. People want to see Zidane managing PSG very much but I don't feel like this will happen. Because there isn't even a rumour I have heard of in the recent times. It looks like Zidane is still not keen on managing a team other than a national team he would like. If he signed for PSG now I would have nearly zero doubt left about PSG's future. Despite the solid players leaving the team one by one I would still believe in him to find a way.



By the way I have also heard about Luis Enrique rumour. If we compare him to Nagelsmann he has a more impressive career surely.

There is no clear agreement between PSG and Julian Nagelsmann, we don't even know the reason for Nagelsmann's cancellation of training PSG. but what is certain, the joint decision was made by Nagelsmann and PSG because they did not agree on important details. that means, Nagelsmann is no longer PSG's top priority. regarding Zidane, previously he had conveyed through his side that no agreement had been made whatsoever, Zidane was not at all interested in becoming a PSG coach.

Well, the unique thing is, Mourinho's name is still involved with PSG. even though in the tweets of Fabrizio Romano or other news media, they did not even mention Jose Mourinho's name "after he failed to win the Europa League trophy".
Now, the latest rumors report. Paris Saint-Germain are in advanced talks to appoint Luis Enrique as the new coach - according to L'Equipe. PSG have been more cautious after the Nagelsmann deal fell through but Luis Enrique has come to terms with it. the talk now is about the staff and the 'no momentar' clause from Luis Enrique's side, as Fabrizio Romano quotes. very interesting, we will see how it develops and if these rumors are true. if so, there's nothing wrong with bringing Enrique to the Parc de Princes. but to be honest, ideally I prefer if the PSG squad is under Julian Nagelsmann IMO. at least, can start PSG with lots of young talents. even so, we'll see further developments.

If they were able to retain the good players, Bayern could not have been dominating the league for years. It takes a consistent team to have great success, it's only financially good to sell a player who can make money without using it to another team.
On the one hand, they are doing something quite logical, they always sell their players when they are at their most valuable and make a lot of money. But their chances of becoming champions are dwindling Smiley
Bayern munchen dominated the bundesliga so easily for so many years because they had no consistent competitors to do so. Dortmund might be able to win the bundesliga occasionally in 1 or 2 seasons if they keep their star players from being sold to other clubs and I agree with your opinion on that. Indeed, we cannot stop the business thinking of the Dortmund owner and maybe we can only criticize him, but it must be admitted that many star players have been born from Dortmund since the Lewandowski era to the most recent Haaland now.

That's why, if the Bundesliga wants to be competitive like other league competitions. they should change the system 50+1. thus, there will be more clubs getting cash injections than investors and sponsors. also, it is very possible that the Bundesliga will no longer be dominated by Bayern Munich. Dortmund have done a very good job, staying in the top four of this competition and still exist in the Champions League. besides that, they get profits from the sale of their players.

They did nothing wrong, because to survive and compete in this league they have to maneuver in their business. the unique thing is that almost every season Dortmund always creates young talents, then sells them at fantastic prices. but they can still compete, and remain a top club in the Bundesliga. So, what do you think so that this competition can be more competitive like other leagues. I mean, at least the competition hasn't been dominated by just one club in the last decade.
