Only self disciplined gamblers do s apply this method and stick to it. Having an already planned budget for your gambling gives you control over your money and helps you avoid financial waste in gambling that comes with the instinct of believing you're going to win if you try again, which leads to another trials after another till you're empty.

Exactly, there are a lot of gambler understand about this, but in reality while they are playing any gambling, they are forget about that. Their emotion lost control and making another deposit until they are sacrifice his hot money for gamble. People who get addicted in slots always thinking about the jackpot, but they are mostly lose because they are doing the same mistake manytimes.
I agree, it is really hard to stop ourselves from gambling once we feel like we're winning in a row that's why we should practice our disciplined self so we will know when to stop and when to play. We all encounter losing in any kind of gambling but what matters most is how do we react or response when we are about to lose or when we lose our asset already, that's that the thing when we grow.

The point is, we really understand, don't we? but in practice, sometimes emotions control us. in fact, we tend to ignore our own warnings. I mean most people who lose will make a re-deposit. even though we are aware, that the probability that we have to return the loss is very small. however, we still ignore it. I'm sure, connoisseurs of slot games are often in a phase like I said. believe me, every experience we have is almost the same as each other from gamblers.

Well, we agree that exercising discipline is one of the methods that gamblers must have. unfortunately, again I say. in practice, it's not as easy as what we discussed in this thread. for me, gambling is a fun form of entertainment in this technologically advanced era. however, there is much that I should know about the risks and impacts. therefore, there is no choice but to have awareness and responsibility. then, the answer is to gamble according to our abilities. if we lose today, we can have fun another day. and what I'm saying, is the biggest challenge for us gamblers.

I want to believe that the case brought to us here is extremely rare: a grandfather who kidnapped his own granddaughter to be able to continue gambling. But, uncommon cases apart, I think that we all should reflect a little bit before starting gambling, like how much money and time do we want to spend doing that, or one's psychological state and environment.

Because the experience is not the same for someone who has financial freedom and a beatutiful family as for someone who is depressed and desperately looking for an escape route.

I think cases like this are very rare indeed, especially if the grandfather who kidnaps is his own grandson. there are various sides that we can see from this incident, it could even be that the grandfather just pretended to be pitied by his son to give money. but what is certain, we can only examine this case from the sources provided by the OP. I think to find out more, we must have more detailed information. unfortunately, this case is not ours. so, we can only assume and gain wisdom from the case.

Regarding what you say in this post, it should keep our minds awake and sane. contemplating is something that is very necessary, even we can correct what we have been through. without exception, involving him from gambling activities. we agree, how much time we spend, and how the circumstances that make someone do things beyond their common sense affect their psychology. in essence, back to ourselves and how we define gambling. because it's important to me. at least, I have an alarm that limits us from getting out of control or limiting us to excessive activities.

Yes, because I know that Inter Milan will not be favored in the final, everyone will see the strength of these two clubs, I am sure that those who support Intermilan will not bet on him, but I support Manchester City because I am willing to bet on their victory. Manchester City's great desire to win the UCL this season has been very visible since getting rid of several big clubs. Manchester city has a winning mentality because not long ago they also won the English league.

I think winning the UCL has been Manchester City's dream for a long time, of course they won't waste the final match later, especially when the two meet there are no first and second legs, they have worked hard until this final, so they will play as well as possible, I hope Intermilan will also give resistance  Grin Grin

Whether Inter will put up a fight, we'll find out when this match takes place. So far, we've only been talking on the basis of statistics. that means, we don't know for sure what will happen on the field when the match starts. for sure, one mistake will be fatal for the team that did it. Inter will not let City win the final easily, they will develop a strategy and how to overthrow Manchester City. conversely, Pep Guardiola will also take into account Inter's strengths. both in terms of defense, and every counterattack they do.

In essence, these two teams will both learn from the weaknesses of their respective opposing teams and close the gaps that become their team's weaknesses. even so, we agree that on paper City is far more favored than Inter. however, because this fight is the Final match. Pep Guardiola doesn't want his team to think this match is an easy match. because after all, Inter have players who can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals. well, let's just follow every development until this match is held.

Yes, I also think that at least AS Roma has good quality, because AS Roma has a famous squad and coach. Thus, at least AS Roma has better quality too when compared to the Sevilla coach. But even so, AS Roma still can't promise an easy victory because after all, Sevilla also has a good winning mentality so these two teams have the same chance to win because both have factors that can be favored too.

Sevilla are big favorites for this game honestly having won the Europa League Competition more in the last few years. AS Roma having a great coach doesn't mean he would win tommorow. Roma are not consistent this season and same goes to sevilla likewise but when it comes to winning games and finals in the europa league competition, Sevilla are going to be on guard, my final prediction for the game although would be for them both to draw and during the extra time the game be decided by Sevilla. My finally predictions is for sevilla to win the Europa League Competition.

Well, ever since Sevilla and AS Roma confirmed qualification for the final match of this competition, we have assumed a lot and even speculated. So far, we have reviewed these two teams from all angles. starting from the players, to the coach's track record. now, this fight will be held soon. whether this match will present an exciting match and deserves for us to enjoy, we will find out tomorrow.

Even so, referring to several sources that I got regarding the latest information for these two teams. apparently, these two teams will compete tactics with an offensive system. But wait, this is only a temporary prediction. referring to what Jose Mourinho will apply, it seems that he will apply the pattern with the 3-4-2-1 system. and if, the scenario is exactly like this. I will assume, that this fight will offer an exciting and tense fight. however, as usual, Mourinho will continue to rely on counter-attack patterns.

On the other hand, Sevilla will play the same pattern, they remain confident with a 4-2-3-1 system. at least, this is only a small picture. so, it seems that this final battle will present an exciting battle. for more, I will follow the progress. because these predictions can change. even so, I will still bet on AS Roma. but with a note, looking at the options available.

Getting only copa del rey is good enough for madrid this season but i would not personally consider it as a successful season for real madrid.-snip-

Winning the Copa Del Rey is only a minor title which is not the main target. Getting this title but losing the opportunity in the UCL Final, of course its not good. the current squad is enough for Madrid to win La Liga. However, Barcelona appeared impressive and made Real Madrid have to be willing to give up its title this season. Madrid's defeat against Barcelona in the final La-Liga standings will leave important points in Madrid's journey this season which will make Madrid stronger next season. And winning copa del rey still too far to say they are succeded.

Without realizing it, the loss of Casemiro greatly impacted Madrid's overall performance. just look at how Casemiro plays an important role with United. his presence, became decisive for Ten Hag and they managed to finish in the top 4 of the standings.
As for Tchouameni, it seems that he still needs more experience so he can be on the same level as his veteran players. which in the end, Madrid's performance has decreased. plus, it was exacerbated by several players who were injured, one of which was when Benzema was injured. Madrid lost a sharp striker on the front lines, even though on the other hand Rodrygo was able to display a slick performance, but that was not enough to make Madrid much better.
well, we agree that just winning the Coppa del Rey trophy is not a satisfying result. at least, than nothing, it's better.

Now, Don Carlo has a mission to improve his team. I'm pretty sure it's not just Bellingham who will be brought to the Santiago Bernabeu. at least, Madrid needs some other players. but before that, La Liga still has one game left. so, let's just enjoy the closing of this competition.

Chelsea had some good strikers. Felix is not needed in the club. His performance is also very bad at this moment. Poche was thinking about which player that must be/not be included on its plan.

I wouldn't say that he had bad stint at Chelsea. He was one of the players who I felt was actually creating most of the attacks. It's good that Pochettino thought about this and decided Felix not to be part of the plans early. Pochettino certainly has thought about the squad he wants to use and Felix is not part of it. Now that decision could be in many ways but I think given the market value of Felix, Pochettino must have thought it isn't the worth.

I expect Chelsea to sign some good defenders because they conceded lot of goals in last season. Its a huge task for Pochettino and I am looking forward to see how he builds up the squad.

Out of all the Chelsea front line players, I prefer Felix over the rest. maybe if given better time with a different style of training, Joao Felix will be able to show his best performance. unfortunately, Felix will be sent home to Atletico Madrid because he is a loan player. plus, Felix's loan contract is too expensive. maybe that's why Pochettino doesn't include Joao Felix in his squad next season. because to patent it as a Chelsea player, Altetico will not let it go for a cheap price.

I think the steps taken by Pochettino are still just the beginning. most likely, there will be several players on the sale list in the next summer transfer window. otherwise, it will be a problem for Chelsea. the first job Pochettino does is to improve Chelsea's players, get rid of the unnecessary and replace them with the ideal players according to his choice. now, Pochettino's move has just begun. we'll see how many players he will release and which players are on Chelsea's radar.

Today I saw the news that Al-Hilal is offering Messi a contract for two years with a simply unrealistic amount of 1.2 billion euros. I don't know if this can be true, or if it's just fiction from journalists, but the offer looks very tempting, I don't know who could resist this. I know that Messi has always wanted to play in Barcelona, but he has been living in Paris for some time now and has probably been able to adapt to the new conditions. And here in a few years you can get a lot of money, although money is probably not the main thing for Messi...

Only the time can answer that. You can argue that if money was not the main thing for messi but it's also very dumb to reject offer from al hilal.

In my logic, if messi was never interesting to join in al hilal and he could made confirmation since a few months ago if he was not even interesting to go to the SPL but the fact that if messi was not even making any comment related to the al hilal.
Im thinking about if messi is still holding it as other plan once his transfer to the barcelona will not come true. It's pretty much the same like what happend with ronaldo.

Messi has only a few years remaining until he will retire from football.

Fabrizio Romano said Lionel Messi wants to make decisions about his future in the coming days. in addition Romano said, Not guarantee that Messi will announce his new club in a few days - but wants to choose his future club as soon as possible. no offer from Barcelona due to FFP, Al Hilal's offer has remained the same since april. but what is certain, Ligue 1 still leaves 1 game remaining. this match, maybe it will be Messi's farewell match with PSG. maybe, after that Messi will convey the club's next goals. However, we don't know where Messi will set his foot. could have gone to Barcelona, ​​or accepted Al Hilal's offer. for sure, there are many possibilities that occur. Let's wait and see which club he goes to. but before all that, Messi's contract is still valid until June 30 2023. The match against Clermont, was his last match. so, let's just enjoy it when PSG and Messi play their last game as well as closing the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season.

Mikel Arteta is a young coach and compared to Guardiola he doesn't have enough experience and maybe that's why he failed to win the league this season while Arsenal had the first place in the table for weeks but lost just a few points and made some a few mistakes was enough for Guardiola to take the first place of the table however Arsenal had a good performance in this season and we can't complain about this team situation but I guess if Guardiola was not coaching Manchester City, Arsenal could win this season.

Guardiola, is a former teacher for Arteta. at least, Arteta has to see what Pep Guardiola has done in this one season. clear to me, there are many significant differences. let's compare, it's not uncommon for Guardiola to reserve some of his core players. I mean, he always rotates his players, apart from Halland.
let's see Arsenal, if the Arsenal players are not injured, they will still be the main starter. and this, not done by Pep Guardiola. As someone who has worked with Pep Guardiola, Arteta should be able to emulate what his former teacher did. apart from that, Arteta had no other plans when his team found themselves in a deadlock. in truth, players need Rotation. this needs to be done. the benefits are many, besides fitness, the players need another atmosphere and achieve chemistry with other players too. and, there are several other points that we can criticize from Arteta's side.

But the truth is, he has taken Arsenal so far. unfortunately, the chance they had for the trophy was lost with just a few games. but, as an Arsenal supporter. I am quite happy with their achievements. Plus, Arsenal will certainly participate in the Champions League next season.

I was really rooting for Dortmund, it was such a shame. I still can’t believe they choked. All they had to do was beat Mainz at home. The players really let the fans down. Bayern have dominated that league for a decade, it’s nothing other than Dortmund choking that denied them the title.

I watched the 2nd half, Dortmund missed so many chances. The damage was done in the first half though being 2-0 down. They will lose Bellingham now, hopefully they spend that money well and go again next season but I dunno if they will get a better chance. A simple victory against a mediocre Mainz with nothing to play for wasall that stood in their way, unacceptable really

From my point of view, I see that they don't have the mentality of being champions. that's why, in the last match Dortmund was not able to play optimally. Even before that Dortmund had several chances before the match against Mainz, for example during Dortmund's match against Bochum which ended 1-1. whereas, this fight should be easy for them.
in the match against Mainz, Dortmund had the opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot. too bad, Sabastien Haller failed to execute it.
IMO, it seems that there is a mental pressure for Edin Terzic's team, they were carried away by the atmosphere where the situation brought emotional pressure for the Dortmund players to win the match against mainz. one more thing, I don't really understand why Edin Terzic prefers to implement a 4-5-1 system. whereas, the Mainz situation is in a declining performance. Supposedly, Terzic could apply a 4-3-3 pattern. as a result, Dortmund was only able to equalize to 2-2. when it should be, this fight won easily. there's nothing we can do, the fact is that Dortmund failed to seize the opportunity that was in front of their eyes. yes, uniquely, in football anything can happen. and in the end, Bayern again dominated the Bundesliga.

With the appointment of Pochettino to Chelsea, will it elevate Chelsea's weak form to a better one next season? Like what change are we expecting to see come next season or probably the start of the international club friendly? Frank Lampard don't believe that the newly appointed Chelsea coach [Pochettino] can deliver where he failed.
 I feel he can change the atmosphere of the Chelsea team but the problem is, can he manage the players that are there and the ones coming to join the squad? Because Lampard came twice but could not get it right. And now we have the ex- Tottenham boss [Pochettino] who didn't win any trophy while he was the coach of Tottenham even PSG, well this is Chelsea things might turn out in his favor.

We will know the answer later. now, the task is how to be a leader in the players' locker room. as a coach, his first job started in the locker room. after that, he will sort out which players will make up the core team. but before that, Pochettino will try out the available players. well, the problem is which players will leave Stamford Bridge and which players will Pochettino bring in in the upcoming transfer window. In fact, the pre-season has not even started. so, there is a lot of homework that Pochettino has. however, at least he has observed which players are ideal with the system he will implement.

Previously, Lampard was assigned to play the available potential sources. So, Pochettino should just go ahead with what he's planning to do. well, I guess the scenario is like that. As for whether he succeeded or not, we will find out later. after all, Todd Boehly has appointed himself the new Chelsea boss. now, we just have to see how they develop later. he has plenty of time to experiment with what he wants to implement, and at the same time Chelsea don't have a strict schedule next season. at least, Pochettino's task at the start of the season with Chelsea was not too heavy.

Why not? Gambling is not about supporting your favourite sports or football stars, it's about making money, so yes I can bet against my favorite club, when it comes to making money it is far different from supporting what I like and love, two different things entirely.

It's same reason why some football clubs and few other sports make more money when they lose a match, they already took a deal and the deal becomes a success only if they lose a match.

For some people who are fanatical supporters of their idol team, it would be taboo for them to make bets against the team they idolize. however, that doesn't mean we will suddenly bet on our favorite team without looking at the strength of the opposing team. there are various options provided in terms of betting, we can even choose a way that is not against our own favorite team. however, it all depends on the gambler himself.

Maybe for you, it doesn't matter. but for others, they won't and I am no exception. usually, I wouldn't bet on my favorite team if the team they were facing was a stronger team. or maybe, I will choose another option according to what is provided by the bookies. In essence, every gambler has their own style and characteristics, including when betting on their favorite team. for me, there is a lot of fun in sports betting and it's not just a matter of making money. because after all, money can't buy pleasure. however, that doesn't mean we have to blindly bet on our favorite team even though we know the probability that we have is very small. which in essence, it all comes down to options and we can take advantage of them.

I find it hard to accept that Manchester City lost to Brentford.  The win in the last match undoubtedly gave Manchester City confidence for the UCL final. The moment Pinnock scored, Manchester City had no chance to retaliate. Manchester City have had a great season this season.
Yes I was quite surprised, they lost. But it doesn't matter, this result has no effect on the championship title. Pep Guardiola fielded a lot of reserve players. This indicates that Man City apparently does not have reserve players who are able to play as well as regular players. I don't think it will have much influence on the UCL final.

Initially, I thought Pep would play his core squad. however, will not play the full 90 minutes. that's why I'm willing to bet on City, even though there is a bit of awkwardness when referring to the available odds. at least, referring to several sources of predictions that I usually refer to, City will play the main squad. then what happened, Pep even lowered his second tier players. even then, mostly young players. even very rarely played, and some of them are, Sergio Gomes, only 2 starts, Cole Palmer is the same, Rico Lewis is a player who is only 18 years old, Kalvin Phillips is only 2 times also a starter.

Well, it would be very natural if City did not display a very brilliant game. so, this defeat is a natural thing for them. anyway, will not reduce the decline in the mentality of the team as a whole. because, most of the players who play are second-tier players. in the end, City lost to Brentford and I lost the bet. however, what was shown from this match, was quite entertaining for us football lovers.

The question is how long does this hypnotic effect last in one session for consultation or in one treatment, how powerful and effective is this method applied to cure patients who have addictive tendencies. then, have there been any scientific studies on alternative methods like this.

Nevertheless, I believe that if someone wants to be free from addiction, regardless of its kind. the first thing they must have is, intention and determination. whatever the method, it depends on a person who wants to get rid of his dependence on addiction. without intention and determination, the beginning of the end, he will return to his old habits. So, actually we are not fixated on just one method of healing for patients with addiction disorders. whatever it is, if it has the potential to reduce it a little or even eliminate it altogether. all addicts, can use any method. most importantly, not to hurt the addict himself.

IMO, the problem of gambling addiction is not as extreme as other addictions. I mean, when we don't have any money to gamble. there is no other way, but to stop by yourself. maybe in some cases, someone sells his property or valuables to fulfill his desires. however, for other addictions such as drugs for example. I think, more extreme than gambling addiction. because, when they don't consume it their bodies experience symptoms that torment the sufferer.
By the way, what you said in this thread might help some cases of addicted gamblers. however, as far as I know, each addict will need a different method of healing.

Yes, of course, Pep Guardiola should have realized not to repeat the same mistakes as when Manchester City played against Chelsea in the Champions League final season 20/21. So, at this moment Manchester City still has to play with maximum effort, and don't occasionally reduce the intensity of attacks. Because if Manchester City lowers the intensity of the attack, of course it will allow Inter to create an effort to make a dangerous attack on the Manchester City defense line.

But, if for example Manchester City can win 2-0 in the first half, then that will make Manchester City sure to win until the match is over. But yes, if Inter can hold Manchester City to a draw in the first half, then it looks like Manchester City might also be under pressure which might split their focus.

I'm pretty sure, Pep Guardiola has understood that with some of his experience. So far, City has rarely reduced the intensity of its attacks in almost every game. even though several players were pulled out, Pep still instructed his players to continue to appear aggressive. in fact, we can take an example from the match against Madrid in the second leg. City did not relax their attacks, even though they had excelled. and when Pep withdrew some of his players. the intensity of the attacks remained incessant. well, it is likely that City will do the same thing in the final match later. they will dominate the game and have more control over ball possession. or, it could just be that Pep has a plan to let Inter take the offensive at the start. but apparently, this scenario is not going to happen.

Well, the problem for Inter is. how to prevent City players from having the ball in midfield. this job, it's not easy with the material City players are very good.
IMO, the advantage of Pep Guardiola's foster children is the midfield. if, City was able to excel first in the early minutes of the first half. then, City is increasingly likely to score another goal. but if, Inter were able to hold City at least in the first half. then the course of the game, it looks like it will run dramatically. yes, as you said.

After losing against Lille with a score of 2-1, now is Nantes' chance to get away from the red zone leaving 1 last match this week and Angers will be the opponent who is the bottom team in the standings this season. It looks like this time Nantes will have no trouble as they will be the hosts and for sure the support of the fans will be pouring in all corners of the stadium. I really believe Nantes will be able to win but they also have to hope that Auxerre will accept defeat against Lens later if Nantes wants to return to Ligue 1 next season.

Sometimes, the last match plus being the decider will put a bit of pressure on the team that is aiming for victory. although on paper, Nantes is far superior to the opposing team. but the tough challenges are, pressure and mental. if Nantes can handle it well. they should be able to finish the game with a win. at the same time, avoiding the relegation zone. however, sometimes in crucial matches like this, the opposing team seems very tough to face. because, Angers played without a burden. after all, they will be relegated this season to the second tier.

At the same time, Auxerre will host against Lens. meaning, this match will be decisive for both teams, both Auxerre and Nantes. in theory, the probability of Nantes toppling Angers is easier than that faced by Auxerre. well, the problem is whether Lens will play with the full squad. because, losing or winning will no longer affect them. so, do not rule out if Auxerre avoids the relegation zone.  so, this match will be a decisive match and at the same time a hot match for both teams. at least, the two teams will exert all their abilities to achieve full points in the match later. interesting for us to wait.

Speaking of success, I think it's all just started because the competition that awaits Barcelona in the Champions League is the real competition, it's true that they can win trophies with Xavi. But to be honest, the success of winning the La Liga trophy and the farewell of senior players like Busquets and Jordi Alba was very emotional. A very sweet final performance for Busquets because after all the Barcelona legend has contributed a lot to what Barcelona has achieved so far.

Because of the real competition they will face, of course Xavi and his squad will not relax, considering that the opponents they face next season are far different and unlike the opponents they face in the European League competition.
The problem lies in the quality and experience of the players that Barcelona have, if you rely on the squad they currently have to play in the Champions League, then we are worried that they will return like this season's journey in the group stage, so that in the end they will return to play in the league Europe. I honestly see Barcelona's players as good and they have a long-term vision, but Xavi's young squad has yet to stand the test of time in the Champions League, so it will take a few seasons to adapt.

The club's financial condition may not be very stable and they will have a little difficulty bringing in new, quality players. However, luckily with the expiration of Busquets and Jordi Alba's contracts this season may be able to help Barcelona get out of financial problems caused by player salaries that are too high, so hopes to bring in several players are increasingly open.

IMO, Xavi should dig deeper into tactics and strategy. plus, the system he implemented. Barcelona's failure in the Champions League provided a lot of learning for Xavi on how to overcome problems within his team. in the end, they found their rhythm and won La Liga.

But can this team be said to be ideal, I would say no. at least Xavi needs some new arrivals to strengthen his team for next season, and I'm pretty sure Laporta really understands that. well, currently financial problems are homework for Laporta. Meanwhile, Xavi is looking for players who can build their squad even better. Currently, Xavi has several options to bring in players on free transfers. However, the problem remains with the salary.
by the way, I'm sure that Barcelona has a way of dealing with the problems they have. that is why, Laporta remains adamant that he will bring Messi back to Camp Nou. Well, the problem is whether he will contribute or not, we'll see. even then, if Messi is really willing to return to Camp Nou. the rest, let's see what Barcelona will do in the transfer window next summer.

Previously, Chelsea also considered several candidates such as Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, but Todd still doubted Nagelsman's ability to manage the star players bought this season. And in the end, it was Pochettino who was chosen to replace Lampard, with his knowledge of the Premier League Pochettino being a better choice than Luis Enrique. Pochettino has officially become the new coach for Chelsea. It's true that Chelsea is facing big problems, in my opinion Pochettino has to revamp from all sides to be able to find out the essence of the problem so he can find the right solution. I and the Blues fans hope that his arrival will be able to restore the club to normal.
Todd Boehly's preferred coach was Julian Nagelsmann, but his fundamentals were not met; he received the best offer, but let's suppose he never wanted to be a part of the club in the first place, and the offers collapsed. The Blues are fully prepared for the new season and will add more players during the summer transfer window. Chelsea's ambitious goal is to return to winning form next season; it's likely one of the incoming coach's expectations. Mauricio Pochettino is Chelsea's permanent head coach; he signed a two-year contract with a club option for an additional year.

Previously, Julian Nagelsmann said that he was interested in becoming the coach of the Chelsea squad. it's just that some of the conditions he put forward didn't seem to suit Todd Boehly's wishes. plus, Nagelsmann was no longer interested in becoming a Chelsea coach because it seemed like auditions were being held for potential candidates. and, in the end Nagelsmann chose to withdraw. yes, as claimed from Nagelsmann's part on several occasions during his sports media interviews. in the end, the only available candidate was Mauricio Pochettino. because, another candidate, namely Luis Enrique, withdrew. there is no choice, but to ask for her hand to become the next Chelsea coach next season.

Well, let's see if Pochettino is able to answer Todd Boehly's wishes and to the Blues supporters. supposedly, Pochettino was able to bring Chelsea better with the available player material. besides that, next season they don't have a busy schedule. that means, Pochettino's task next season is only to focus on bringing Chelsea to a change in a better direction. at least, they have to compete to be able to finish in the top four even though the challenges are quite big.

I don't understand why Nagelsmann was fired by the Bayern Munich management. With the help of Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich's performance has been quite stable. And at a very crucial moment, the Munich management took the bad decision to fire Nagelsmann. As a result, the team played very poorly against Manchester City and lost.

Thomas Tuchel has not been able to adapt to Bayern Munich's players so far. Bayern Munich is very lucky to win this year's Bundesliga title. However, Munich's performance is still very weak and erratic. If such performance does not improve, it will be difficult for Munich to even qualify for the Champions League round of 16 next season.

maybe, that's why Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamifzic were fired from their posts. the reason, because Kahn and Salihamidzic were responsible for what happened after Nagelsmann's sacking. Bayern's victory over the Bundesliga trophy this season was shrouded in a crucial drama that expects Dortmund to slip in the last game. although in the end Bayern still won the trophy, the fact is that the victory was far from what Bayern Munich's management had hoped for. in fact, if Dortmund were lucky in the decisive match over Mainz. I'm pretty sure the situation at Bayern Munich will experience a bit of polemic. However. luck remained on Bayern's side. yes, Dortmund was unable to deal with the mental pressure in the situation they faced. in the end, Dortmund could only win a draw.

Now. referring to several news sources that I read, Thomas Thucel is expected to leave Bayern Munich even though he just won the Bundesliga title. As quoted from dailymail, former Bayern midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes that Tuchel, the new coach appointed in March, will follow Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic out of Bayern. well, will it happen, let's wait.

looks like we have the same options but I'm a little scared of a draw so I'm a bit torn on deciding.
Jose Maurinho's influence is very strong and that should be considered, the coach's record of 5 wins in 5 finals on the European stage is a reference.

but I'm sure this will be a fierce match and allow for not many goals to be scored and also as I know that the defense of the AS Roma team is very good.

I'm not a Roma fan, but because of coach Jose Maurinho I'm sure they will be champions, the coach's tactical factor is very influential, especially since this is the Europa League final.

For sure, in football all possibilities can happen. If the scenario were AS Roma playing defensively, the thing that Sevilla needs to pay attention to is the large amount of empty space that is left behind due to the preoccupation with attacking. when AS Roma players are able to get the ball, this is dangerous. because, it looks like AS Roma will be targeting a quick counterattack. Yes, that's Mourinho's style.
Another scenario, Sevilla is able to dismantle AS Roma's defense. if so, inevitably Rome will play open to equalize. but what is certain, for now we cannot make a deeper scenario because we do not have the latest information for these two teams. I think both teams have the same chance, be it AS Roma or Sevilla. after all, when referring to the odds provided by the bookies it seems that these two teams are quite even. IMO, I'm not sure if this fight will offer an exciting and tense battle. most likely, we agree that there will not be many goals in this match. but what is certain, the two teams have almost the same chance to win the Europa League trophy. well, the question is, which team will have more luck, let's just wait.

According to the source above, Real Madrid are planning to make an offer for Roberto Firmino soon. Actually this has been rumoured for some time and it looks like they are serious about this transfer. Firmino is actually only one of their targets right now. He might not be their first choice but they would think of him as a solid option I assume. Because his contract is about to expire with Liverpool.

Interestingly Liverpool don't want to continue with him either. Firmino isn't a useless player right now in my opinion. By doing this they will rely on Nunez more unless they fill Firmino's space.

Firmino's contract will expire on June 30, 2023. Meanwhile, he is currently 31 years old. he could become a second line player, to fill in for Benzema if he is injured or rested to conserve energy. to be honest, I have no doubts about this one player. But I have a question, can Firmino achieve chemistry with his partner while playing for Madrid. I mean, like the Trio Madrid, they have really scary combinations on the counter. Vini jr, Benzema, Rodrygo, these three players understand each other. that's why when Benzema is absent, Vini Jr and his colleagues are like players who have lost their way.

Maybe, Firmino could be another option. after all, he is a free transfer player. but ideally, Madrid should bring in one of the young strikers as Benzema's successor. plus, Madrid actually needs a midfielder who is quite mature. I mean, apart from Kroos and Luca Modric. because, just bringing bellingham does not guarantee that his work will be as good as with Dortmund. however, let's see what Madrid will do in the transfer window this summer.
