At the start of this season Arsenal seemed to be having difficulties on their front lines, in the match against Crystal Palace they only won 1 goal and the goal was created through a penalty point, Arsenal's front line did not play effectively in the first 2 Premier League matches, but the victory achieved against Crystal Palace was quite dramatic, even though they got a red card but were able to maintain the advantage, I think that's a good thing.

It's still early in the season, so it's too early to say the championship competition, but Arsenal have changed this team to be much better than last season but performance and consistency no one knows what will happen as this season goes on.
Now I agree with this, that there seems to be something missing from them up front. Apart from the front line, I also see their midfield playing less than optimal, I mean they can be more creative again to dismantle the opponent's defense with their passes or with their stabs from the middle, and I haven't seen that.
I also agree that it's still too early to talk about competing for the championship, after all we're still in week two, and usually early weeks are weeks where some clubs haven't found their full form.

It's high time the club knows what they need and go for it, they can't keep signing frontlines without scanning the backlines, how these roles operates. The defenders are not fully positioned to win games, rather they keep making blunders that cost them to concede goals in league games. PSG coach, Luis Enrique should make more signings this season, in full focus on the defend and midfield, because that's where their problem originates from. PSG have missed out on big names this season, players that would have secured an easy win for the parisians have already exited the club.
I also see that problem in every season at PSG and it hasn't been resolved until this season so the advice you give is actually also more appropriate for PSG because they need to be able to focus on bringing in better players in midfield and defense. This was also revealed when PSG's front line became unproductive in scoring goals when there were no players who were good at providing passes from the back or midfield. So the PSG team must also be stronger on two lines that have not been their focus so far.
The lineup that a club must have is the balance between positions in the game, be it defense, midfield, or attack. They can't keep strengthening their attack, but they forget to strengthen the depth of the midfield and backline. They also can't focus on one position at the back, but forget about the attack. because it would also be useless if they are good at defense but they can't create goals. I have seen this problem for years in Paris Saint Germain, strangely they don't seem to realize that it is their weakness.

Quote from: Pokapoka124
A good way to kick off the season for Juventus, this win should be a morale booster for the team for the coming games. I have a feeling that Juventus will perform better from last season. They look prepared and ready to go head to head against other top teams for titles this season. Allegri is an experienced coach, the club have faith in him to deliver them this season and comoete for trophies.

Juventus confidently embraced three points to stand in the second position in the Italian league table, to encourage their fans that they have what it takes to go far in this season to maintain a good position to make their fans happy. Juventus really showcased some new tactics that made people to believed that they are well organized in this season, because they were able to achieve three goals in the 45 minutes to silent their opponent despite the mighty players they used to played the match. I think, Juventus will not end up the way they ended up last season competition, because they showed a good step in their first match to prove that they will withstand any strong teams in this season.
There's one thing I'm interested in about their win, and that's their defense. Udinese didn't attack at all, they also attacked several times, even their attempts were recorded more than Juventus'. It's just that the Juventus defense worked solidly in this match so they could keep their goal so that not a single goal was scored.
Their attacking line for this match I saw more creative, and could take advantage of the gaps that existed to be able to create opportunities that they could ultimately use to create a goal. And we can see, they can create 3 goals in this match.

This is why it's important to set boundaries so you won't get swayed and eventually be lost in the process of gambling. If you are lucky enough to experience several wins, be contented and do not aim for more especially if you know it to yourself that you don't have what it takes - the skills, information, and luck needed in order to win. Because clearly, being so hopeful can bring you down as well. If you won't stop being ambitious and greedy, you'll likely taste losses first hand.
Well, feeling like one lacks the skill, information or luck needed to win all depends on what the gambler is playing, for those playing slot or casino games, they need non of those you mentioned aside luck, luck is the major driving factor when it comes gambling, even in sports betting, the knowledge, the skill,, the information might be there, but then, the gambler still need some little amount of luck to win, no luck means no win, and this is why some illucious gamblers, who believe in charms or other superstitious stuff go extra miles to acquire powers that will supposedly make sure they are always in good luck, and whether this stuff actually works, I can't tell, only those who have tried it can tell if it works or not.
That's how it is when it comes to luck in gambling, in some bets maybe our skills will be needed to make an analysis and then increase our chances of winning, such as in sports betting, but that doesn't mean it will be separated from all luck.
I will give an example during the Qatar World Cup some time ago, when Argentina faced Saudi Arabia. Who would have thought that Saudi Arabia would win the game, especially after they were 1 goal down in the first half? But that's how luck came in when Saudi Arabia managed to score 2 goals in the second half.

And a sure win is when luck comes, I agree with what you said, the situation in gambling can change quickly. I've had times when the spin was really good and then it suddenly went bad and completely drained my balance. Honestly this is quite confusing. So basically we as gamblers can't just rely on luck, which means on the other hand we can also reduce the number of losses such as looking for games that give good spins in them. so that we can get a win, and there's nothing wrong if we try to find games that provide even bigger profits. Even though there is still no certainty about the final result, it means that with a high level of confidence it is not certain to win there. Luck will be the main fact of the end result of gambling. In gambling, whatever budget you carry has absolutely no effect on winning, we can see that some of them lose more because of it. So we minimize our capital to bet less and from the start we have to be able to classify that money, if you win it means you are lucky and if you lose don't get too emotional because we have let it go from the start.
What you say is very true because I have also experienced it and it seems to have confused us because we have never experienced it before so that it makes us experience defeats that may be bigger than usual. And from that situation, I should have been able to stop sooner before things got worse but in reality I was still delaying stopping because I still hoped to win it back but instead only got defeated and in the end I decided to just leave it.

So that's where I then learned a lot to be more able to control myself, especially if changes occur because it can make everything change and affect our emotions and will make us experience defeat if we can't control it. And by managing the amount of money to gamble and only gambling what we can afford we can do to avoid bigger losses.

It's like that, when we feel like every round is bad we still procrastinate to leave the game, and what's embedded in our mind is "maybe now the round will be better" and it turns out to be another bad round. I think everyone has felt this, or even now still experiences this kind of thinking, where when we want to leave the game we always delay it because we hope that the next round will be better.




indeed, and this is not happening at all time , they might win in the first but will keep losing in the net.
so better to choose what strategy to use in gambling.


In reality, the victory in gambling will only be temporary, those who have just won the prize there then the next day the money will be used up in betting again. We must remember and must realize that the initial victory is just a lure for continuous defeat in the future. Honestly, do you believe about some strategies that can be used to increase the chances of winning? I don't think it does, it has absolutely no effect on whether we win or not, we must immediately return that only luck can bring us to victory, nothing more than that.



Agree with what you are saying and of course every gambler when they get a win can be even more addicted to it so that they can't wait to get another bigger win, the heart's intention is to want to win even bigger but what happens is a barrage of endless defeats. Cheesy
Not all gamblers can think up to this point, but over time they will be able to realize it and always prioritize a cold mind in every gambling activity.

Winning is just luck, and luck can't come every time, it's different from bad luck, which can come every day and every time.
Never expect big things from gambling when we have got it before, even if only in smaller amounts than expected.
Some people have to go on a losing streak to realize this, and I was probably one of them before I fully realized it. It's natural to be like that, because there are people who don't believe what others say until they've experienced it themselves. It doesn't matter as long as they can realize it, even if it's a little late, but it's better than nothing.

Even though he is sure to win, that is still not a guarantee that he can win because the gambling situation can change at any time. And that is why people who are addicted to gambling, they seem to have high self-confidence to win because they feel that their analysis is good and they can win in that match. And they really should be able to realize that playing gambling must be done carefully, especially in placing bets and only placing bets that they can afford so they don't exceed the limit. But gambling addicts will not pay attention to this and may increase their bets, especially if their confidence increases because they think their analysis is correct and they feel they are placing bets on the right team too.

Gambling becomes addictive when its use becomes compulsive and out of control, because the brain system has been exposed to stimulating gambling. in my neighborhood a lot of people are already addicted to gambling, which has led to the superstition of placing high hopes on slots or gambling. and it is very difficult to awaken people who are addicted to gambling to the point that they have lost great wealth to the point where they have nothing. although I am a gambler not as bad as things that are self-defeating

That's right, and it happens because they are too ambitious and put great faith in gambling, and also they assume that winning in gambling is easy but they have to admit that getting a win is very difficult, why do they assume that winning is easy to achieve? it's because before most likely they have won that they themselves do not believe that they have won, even though they did not do anything significant but the victory came by itself. This means that it is very clear that gambling is only about luck that will answer all the results in the end, there is no way that can increase their chances of winning except to reduce the rate of defeat by doing some self-control. Previously I also said that gambling runs under the subconscious of people, they are too happy to do it until they unconsciously lose their mind and all they want is to continue gambling to pursue victory like in the past. Therefore, I hope you don't put too much ambition in gambling, keep thinking of gambling only as an act of fun and leisure, because if we take it too seriously, it is likely that it will be like what you said here that they will experience superstition with too high hopes of winning.

Harry Kane seems to be starting to show his abilities as a useful striker for Bayern Munich when they successfully beat Werder Bremen 0-4 at the Weserstadion. Bayern Munich, who appeared dominant, immediately stepped on the gas to take the lead through Sane's quick goal in the 4th minute. Harry Kane managed to get his name on the scoreboard in the 74th minute which was followed by two other goals at 90 and 90+ by Sane and Mathys Tel.

This victory proves that Bayern Munich is the king of the Bundesliga, which is also a regular title winner almost every season. Tuchel is not too worried about the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich is the most dominating team, but Tuchel seems to be setting his main focus on the Champions League this season.
Watching Bayern Munich thrashing their opponents 4 nil this season, there's numerous outstanding actions to watch out for this season. Their defend, midfield and frontline is currently effective in league games, so I don't perceive any threat yet. Bayern Munich remained dominant in bundesliga matches, there's still no team that would able to withstand the pressure from the bundesliga giant this season. Thomas Tuchel making sure he fixed his squad and equipped good winning strategy for upcoming games. Harry Kane is the next Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich, all he needs is rime to blend in.

I see Harry Kane's harmony with his teammates and I feel like he will adapt to the team quickly. For Harry Kane, the Bundesliga may not be a complete measure of performance. I wonder what he can do at UCL. I would love to watch him perform at the top level at UCL. I hope he doesn't get injured like KDB and stay away for a long time.

Well as we can see, he can build chemistry well with the other players, this is a very good step for him, besides he is a quality player and has great potential he also has something more than that such as adapting quickly and being able to build good connections with other players. So this makes it easier for Tuchel to apply something new to him, and it's true that maybe the reason why he adapted so quickly to the team and then was able to help contribute goals to Bayern Munich's victory yesterday was probably because the Bundesliga was not as difficult as the EPL where he could always be the top score when he was at Tottenham, so maybe this was easy enough for him to read the enemy's weaknesses every game on the field. That's right, I also think about that, I want to see how he performs later in the UCL, whether he will be able to show his impressive performance when playing at the top level of the UCL,
but there is still time to get there, and he can still improve the cohesiveness with his squad to perform more satisfactorily later in the UCL.

Griezmann is in his last days of football and I don't think he will say no to the heavy salary that will come from the Saudi Arabian league. He's totally right because he has to think about his future. Also, I have doubts whether the Saudi Arabian teams will be able to pay the hefty salaries of this year in the coming years because there is unfair competition financially. With the strong effect of money, they can bring every player to the team.
Maybe it's time for Griezmann to go to Saudi Arabia to fill his last days as a footballer. He is past the peak of his career in Europe, his position is also not guaranteed in the main squad. The offers that came from the Arab League were very difficult to refuse for a top player who had entered the end of his career in football, he will get a much bigger salary than he is currently receiving.
The influence of money began to illuminate the Arab League with the arrival of Europe's top stars, the large capital owned by the club and the investors behind it made it easy for them to spend large amounts of money to pay players' salaries.

I think it may be time for Griezmann to go to Saudi Arabia and spend the last days of his career there. But he has a competitive personality and can choose to fight for Atlético Madrid success in the league without going there. It's his decision. If I were him, I would choose money. At the age of 32, he will not perform as well as he used to, and I think he will not like being a backup.

Well that makes sense, because most players who have entered the age of 30 and above, on average they will receive fantastic offers from the Arab world with the aim of as you said to spend their career with abundant money. Honestly, this is a good option to choose, because although he has good qualities as a player, it will eventually weaken as Griezmann enters his old age and he will experience fitness problems or be prone to injuries. On the other hand I heard rumors that he is now being targeted by Al Hilal, and they are ready to spend around 40 million to redeem Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, but I have not heard how much salary will be offered to this player, but certainly it is large and exceeds his current salary if he is willing to join.
He is still under contract with Atletico Madrid until 2026, but I hope he will not miss this opportunity because he must remember he is 32 years old and this is the right time to make a decision.

Yes, that's right, because in my opinion people who have a lot of money will be respected and respected around them, but if the finances are lacking then it's the other way around, and I also agree with your opinion, if you lose at gambling, it's better for us to just keep quiet so we don't become a burden and make family members sad and if we get a win we can tell about it. Yes, even though in gambling we cannot predict, at least we have tried to win and are always careful.
You are right, by having a lot of money, of course in our social life we will be highly respected by various groups. Money cannot buy everything, but something that we need will certainly require money. I have also felt something like what you said in gambling I experienced defeat and many of my friends knew about it and it would be a mockery for me because I experienced defeat, now in gambling I will keep my gambling activities a secret, both wins and losses. Be careful in gambling, indeed it will be better to gamble than gamble with emotional states.

Well of course, it is a common thing when a person or family in one area has a lot of money and it is seen from something they have then it is certain that others will see it as a special person so that it is respected by the people around it. I don't think everyone will make fun of you for losing, if you tell people who understand gambling then I think they will think it's normal, because they know gambling is just about luck that will answer the final result, whether the gambler wins or loses in the end, and they will consider you unlucky. Honestly I also often tell some of my friends who are also gamblers about my losses, and there we just discuss the best things to do such as it is better to stop or reduce gambling if you are not too sure about gambling, rather than having to lose again it is better to take a break first. And for those who mocked, maybe they are one of those people who do not know gambling and do not know about the various conditions that can be experienced by gamblers. But on the other hand well I agree more with what you said, it's better to hide everything, lose or win it only you know.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Mason Greenwood will leave Manchester United with immediate effect 🔴⛔️

Few minutes ago,  Fabriso posted that Manchester United have decided not re accept Greenwood into the squad.  We are all aware of thr difficult time the young Manchester United player have been facing. Despite that all charges against him was dropped, Manchester United was able to welcome him. Though they said it is a mutual understanding but I feel that Greenwood deserved a better treatment. But then I know that Greenwood will give his best to any club that hires him in this trying time. What he needs is to be signed and be provided with some psychological help and he will deliver.

I can see why Mamchester United didn't accept him back into the squad, I'll put the problem aside by saying that maybe the coach wasn't interested in including him in the scheme of things or he wasn't a player that Ten Hag liked.
It's been a tough time for him in recent times and that's because of his own doing. Although the charges were eventually dropped, what happened to him took a long time to resolve.
Now let's see where he will end up after Mamchester United are no longer interested. I can only hope he quickly finds a new club and no longer stumbles over problems.

It's not that easy to keep our gambling a secret, because we know that our family (wife, husband) will first find out if we play gambling, but we shouldn't tell other people, like our own friends or relatives, because in my opinion it's very dangerous if someone else finds out.

Because people who gamble are ready to bet to lose their money and hope that victory will come, actually playing gambling is for fun. If he wins, he should be proud of the result while he loses, then he will receive grief while we gamble with our own money, I think it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't harm others.
For some people, they prefer to be known as a gambler, and for others they would not want their habits to be known by others, or even their own family. I say this based on what I have seen, they are proud of their gambling, and some are secretive. There will be many reasons why they don't want to be known as a person who gambles, one of which is the environment in which they live. We know that nowadays not all countries legalize gambling, even gambling is legal but there are designated places.

I think it will come back to their own personality, whether they are comfortable with being open or more comfortable when they are closed.

Juventus managed to start the new season with a promising victory over Udinese, Juventus performance in this match deserved praise from fans or other parties who placed bets on Juventus victory. It was not easy to score three goals against Udinese at once, but the Juventus players were able to do so in the first half. After entering the second half, Juventus were more careful and seemed to play it safe to secure victory. The performance shown by the Juventus players indicates that they are ready to compete for the Scudetto this season.

Chiesa's quick goal seemed to make Udinese a little surprised, resulting in a weakened mentality. But indeed I agree with you Juventus have had a good start in the game and this new season. Udinese actually played quite well and bravely for the second half. Several times chances were in danger of Juventus, although they could not make a goal. This is one of the proofs if Chiesa's quick goal destroys the mentality of Udinese players. There is still a long season and a busy schedule. Let's see later until the end of the season.
Yes, it is clearly not easy to multiply 3 goals against Udinese, especially when they act as a guest club which must get a lot of pressure from the home supporters, but they managed to answer with a victory, even they could create an early goal.
Udinese were not without a fight, they also put a lot of pressure on Juventus and got a few chances, it's just that in this match the Juventus defense worked well so they could secure the goal without conceding even once and gave Szczesny his first cleansheet.
Udinese must recognize Juventus' superiority in this match.

Leverkusen, yes they are one of the clubs that had to struggle last season, they have to work hard to be able to slowly improve their ranking in the standings after a not-so-good start to the season for them.
This season, the match in the first week, they can get full points even with great difficulty at home to Leipzig. Leipzig are a strong club after all, so it won't be easy for them to win. 3-2 was the final result of the match, both clubs seemed to be trying to achieve maximum results, and in this match Leverkusesn managed to secure 3 full points at home..,

This is Barcelona's first win of the season at the start of the season, they were winless in Round 1 and were drawn but yesterday's match was a resounding 2-0 win. The Cadiz team is not as strong as Barcelona but they played well at Barcelona's home ground. However, Barcelona's first match win of the season was really impressive but they are fifth in the points table with four points. On the other hand we have seen Real Madrid topping the table points in La Liga as they have won their two matches in the beginning of the season with impressive results to take the first place in the table points. Barcelona have not done much better than Real Madrid this season which is why they are yet to reach the top of the points table. However, if the players can play well in the next matches of Barcelona, it is definitely possible to reach the top of the points table.
As for Barcelona, they are happy to have secured 3 points at home. But they still have work to do, yes we saw them struggling to break down a defense that deployed a deep defensive line, so they were only able to create goals in the second half as the game drew to a close.
I haven't focused on the standings in the first 2 games, because it's still early, but it's good to start looking there and see what the situation is like in the standings. I remember we'll also be curious about who's going to be at the top of the table at the halfway point of the season, even though it's not a deciding factor for the championship, but it can be an idea of what the scenario will be in the second round of the league.

Ateltico Madrid in another match had to settle for sharing the points with Betis. Yes in that tight game they both struggled to penetrate each other's defense so that no goals were created in this match.

Lens also failed to win at home after only drawing against Rennes. Even though Lens took the lead quickly in the 3rd minute through a goal scored by Machado and I thought maybe Lens could win with 3 goals if they had performed very well in the first half. But unfortunately in the first half the score did not change or increase and in the second half Rennes equalized through a white point goal scored by Bourigeaud. I think this result is not good for Lens, they should be able to win and take advantage of PSG's slump. However, Lens must also suffer a similar fate and with this they must be content with being in 14th place in the standings with only 1 point.
Rennes can be said to be a balanced opponent for Lens, so the result they got in this match was a result that was also widely predicted before. Although Lens could create a quick goal but Rennes did not make any more mistakes so they could keep Lens from creating any more goals, instead Rennes could create a goal back through the spot in the second half.
In terms of play, no club seemed to dominate in this match, yes even though there was a very thin difference. Rennes did a good job, they appeared as a guest team and they managed to bring home 1 point.

Sometimes football is a beautiful thing. I know that there are moments when we see like a 0-0 tie and it is boring and all that, but sometimes we end up seeing teams make huge comebacks like this and they end up with a lot better returns. I think it is going to matter a lot when the time comes and we are going to end up seeing AEK do a lot better. I think the UCL this season will be a bit different, it is not the period of "league" structure just yet, but it is looking like there are a lot more teams and a lot more fight in those teams.

We normally do not see this many teams play this well, we see some few big names that play well, and the rest are there just for the show and the money and nothing more, but we are seeing a lot more talent equally distributed this year.
Not only is it beautiful, but soccer is something that will intrigue, and also something that always presents many surprises that in the end we can't believe what we see.
I've seen a lot of that, and I'm sure you will too, as I've seen a lot of beauty, curiosity and surprise all wrapped up into one.
The start of this season will be one where we'll see it all again, be it in the domestic league or here in the Champions League. I honestly can't wait to see them play in the group stages and compete against each other to be the best this season.


Oh yes, it's now Manchester City who are the reigning champions, and there's still a lot of people saying that maybe they'll be able to keep it up.
But before everything starts fully, I still want to refrain from analyzing too early.

Everything will be clear from the next games (three games with outsiders and the first 2 at home). If Chelsea continue to lose points it will be clear that this is another lost season. If not, then it will be necessary to look at the results of the next games with more serious opponents. I wonder what goals set for Pochetino for the season by the leadership and what is the level of "maximum drawdown" in the process of achieving them.
As many people have said, the process of getting to the Chelsea track must go through this phase, indeed after a major overhaul, not much can be expected apart from being more stable first. Their ambitions may be big this season, but everything they want also needs to be supported by quality players. Meanwhile for Pochetinno, the challenge to restore Chelsea's performance is not as easy as he imagined. The lack of strikers with sharp instincts made Chelsea's game seem disorganized. Only able to play in the opponent's defense after that no one was able to finishing.
Certainly rebuilding a squad in disarray is going to be more difficult than one might imagine, I agree with that. This week's defeat proved that it's not easy to turn things around quickly, they need a long time to stabilize and also with hard work and supported by reliable players. All elements must be involved in this.
I just hope Chelsea management doesn't make a quick decision for Poche, I mean, don't let them make mistakes like last season which was too fast to fire the coach.

I actually think there is another purpose that makes supporters shout Messi's name in this match. Do we remember in some matches always get the same treatment as in this match? when it happens, Ronaldo can answer the chant by creating goals and even make his club turn to win. I don't know if my observation is wrong or right, but I try to think positively about the supporters' treatment of Ronaldo and interpret it as I said above.
I do however agree that whatever the intention it was a bit disrespectful and shouldn't have been done.

You call it disrespectful but isn't Ronaldo the one who provokes the fans in a way that their reaction isn't surprising? How often did Ronaldo emphasize in his life that he is the best in the world and nobody else is as good as him and so on and so forth. Self-confidence is great, but communication can still be polite and charming and respectful. Ronaldo has never been known for being respectful. Now he gets what he deserves.
We don't have to argue about Ronaldo's attitude which is already widely known he is a player who has high ambitions that encourage him to behave like that. But his attitude is balanced with what he can do during his playing time, and I feel it is not wrong because he has shown hard work that makes him one of the stars in the world of football.

Sometimes in this case we also cannot see from one point of view only, but we must see as a whole or see from all points of view.

He has a mentality that is above other players, we have to see the good side too, how he motivates his teammates.

Lol you think he never had respect? Is that not wrong? How many fans is he now? Even quality players give him respect

~snip~
There are many different experiences when someone enters into gambling in the end, one of them is like what you said, at first they just try, are introduced by friends and many more. from that experience there will be different impacts too, some of them stop immediately at that time, some become addicted and others. The danger is those who become addicted, it will make them go too deep and they don't even know how to get out.
However, this often happens in the scope of gambling and when it all happens then it will come back to themselves.

Just like every other addictive thing, you should either keep it in moderation, or basically not use it.

It's the same with alcohol, in both gambling and alcohol ads they usually repeat the same message, "Gamble Responsibly", or "Drink Responsibly", that's basically what people should apply to their vices.

If they continue with their addictive path without stopping, that might end up in a very bad situation.
Yes, it is like that, and I've also repeatedly said that we have to have boundaries in doing it, that will be very helpful. And also any boundaries that we put in place we have to abide by completely, don't let it just be a theory but in practice we don't do that, that's just a lie.
Although we may be introduced by others, we cannot blame others for everything we do excessively. Excessive things are actually not good in any case, just like eating excessively is not good, right? Moreover, what we are talking about here is something that is widely seen as negative.
