Luton Town and Burnley are the two EPL promotion teams this season apart from Sheffield and it seems neither of them has had enough of a surprise so far. The reason is that they both did not get 1 point in the 3 matches that have been played. However, both of them are also quite lucky because they have fewer matches than other EPL teams.
Maybe I will focus more on Burnley, we know that this team was led by Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany and from the start, when they were still in the championship division, Burnley was a very promising team. But at the start of the season Burnley did have the unfortunate fate of having to face wild teams like Manchester City, Aston Villa and Spurs. I think it's quite understandable if in the end Burnley couldn't get a single win. However, in the next match against Nottingham, I hope that Vincent Kompany's troops can show their quality this season and at least get their first win.

One of the matches that cannot be missed is in group E which brought Lazio against Atletico. Previously in history the two teams had never faced each other in the champions league competition and this would be the first meeting for two strong teams from Italy and Spain. If you look at the achievements of both last season in each league, it is actually quite balanced in terms of the strength of these two teams. Maybe it will be very difficult to guess who will win this match and I think Atletico will be slightly superior this time. Atletico have consistently had more experience in this competition and for Lazio it's their first time after 3 seasons out.

Lyon coach, Laurent Blanc, is now increasingly on the edge and he is likely to be fired soon after a series of poor results obtained during the start of this season. This is reinforced by the figure of a new coach candidate who will replace him, namely the former Chelsea coach, Graham Potter. But shortly after receiving an offer to handle Lyon, Graham Potter actually refused on the grounds that he still wanted to evaluate his performance after leaving Chelsea. Graham Potter is Lyon's top target as a replacement for Laurent Blanc and thus it is likely that Lyon will look for other coaching candidates to replace Laurent Blanc.

The rates for Dortmund are not bad and I think it is worth taking the risk and betting on Dortmund for this game because we know Dortmoundisnot stable team and they usually have unstable performance in the Bundesliga but the rate for this team is currently 2.11 and in the last meets they had, Dortmund won the game three times while Freiburg won two times.  I think these odds are not based on the performance of each team so far but more on the H2H results between the two. I see this as a pretty risky bet and if you look at the odds it is very similar to last week's game between Union Berlin and Leipzig. In that match, Leipzig won by a landslide as the visiting team, so I think it can be interpreted that this time Dortmund will also be able to do the same thing to beat Freiburg. But if you are still unsure about betting on Dortmund's victory, we can use the result of over 2.5 goals or 2.75 goals to be more sure of winning the bet. Seeing the intensity of these two teams in the previous meeting, it is quite clear that there will be many goals created. |

Cadiz have a pretty good record at the start of this season because they managed to collect 7 points from 4 matches. Perhaps Cadiz's biggest result was their success in beating Villarreal last week, which resulted in coach Satien being fired as a result of the defeat. Apart from that, there was nothing surprising apart from their first defeat against Barcelona. However, I think it will still be very difficult for Cadiz in the future because they will still face other tough opponents and even though now they can breathe easier, it is only temporary unless they can prove that they are not the team like last season.

The last time Paulinha was seen in the Bayern Munich office for a photo session as a new Bayern Munich player this summer but soon he returned to England and the reason the transfer failed at the last minute was because Fulham failed to find McTominay as a replacement. There was no word of an agreement between Fulham and McTominay which made Paulinha have to cancel his agreement with Bayern Munich. This is a complicated transfer and it seems bad luck to get Paulinha. However, the latest news is that Bayern Munich will make Paulinha their main target in January next year and it is very clear that Bayern Munich's interest will not stop because of previous failures.

Another European player who was successfully brought in by Al-Ettifaq is Demarai Gray from Everton. He plays as a left winger and he is still 27 years old. The deal has been reached for a fee of 10 million euros and this is Al-Ettifaq's 4th signing after securing Wijnaldum last week. Al-Ettifaq seems very intent on making his team able to compete more this season with other strong teams and they don't hesitate to continue to bring in new ammunition before the transfer market in Saudi closes. Demarai Gray will team up with Jordan Henderson, Moussa Dembele and Georginio Wijnaldum. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1699371435968331921Compared to many other players Al Ettifaq bought this season from the top European teams, Demarai Gray can be a cheaper option because the price of Demarai in transfermarkt is currently 20m while he is even linked to some other teams like Al Shabab and even Fulham which mean this can't be easily for Ettifaq to hire Demarai Gray from Everton.  Even though the market value is around 20 million euros, if you look at the existing agreement, it must be based on agreement from the club and player, of course Demarai Gray will choose Al-Ettifaq. He knew if he joined Al-Ettifaq he would be in a team with some of the European players that I mentioned earlier plus the possibility that the salary offered by Al-Ettifaq was slightly higher than Al-Shabab, so I think that was the basis for his decision. Even if Fulham are interested or start making offers for Demarai Gray, I think he will turn it down and definitely choose a higher salary offer for now. |

Seeing Manchester United and Chelsea next to each other on the standings makes me laugh and it seems that even the expectations that the public wants will be fed up with the results they got earlier this season. Even looking at Crystal Palace, which is in 7th position, it is actually better than the two teams. For Erik Ten Hag and also Pochettino, who have so many quality players, they are unable to maximize the advantages that exist. I didn't think they would still feel the same difficulties at the start of the season and with the new internal problems in the Red Devils players it would cause more loss of concentration this season. For Chelsea, after spending so much money, the players they have bought are not worth the money they have spent.

 When I checked the Serie A standings, everything looked normal, but until I scrolled down, one big team was missing, namely Roma. It is quite surprising that currently Roma is in 18th position and is in the red zone with 1 point. Previously we know they got off to a bad start with 2x losses and 1x draws. They got this all because they lacked intensity to win in every match and when they faced Verona and Salernitana, Roma were unable to win. In the next match, Roma will face Empoli who are even worse without getting points in their last 3 matches and if Roma still fails to get a win, I don't know how else to react. |

One of the Bundesliga promotion teams this season, Darmstadt, got a bad start and from the 3 matches they have played so far they have not got any points at all. However, Damstadt lost to 3 teams that dominated the Bundesliga last season, namely Frankfurt, Union Berlin and Leverkusen. So it's no wonder they get bad results when facing these strong teams. I had hoped that at least Damstadt would be able to surprise by defeating one or two of these teams, but it seems that didn't happen, even Damstadt was unable to hold a draw. In their next match they will face Gladbach at home and they must win this match if they want to have any hope of staying in the bundesliga.
It's a common thing for promoted teams, how they make a bad start to the season and there seem to be very few teams that can provide strong competition in their first season since promotion. I personally actually hope that the promoted team can do something interesting like competing at least in the middle of the table, and if they are able to I would like to see them in the top flight. And it seems that it will all be very difficult for them to do, because from a mental point of view they have to adjust again when they are in the highest caste competition in a country. It's true that this is a reality that we often encounter and they definitely don't have the good mentality to be able to compete up to the middle of the table. Hoping that they can do it so that they don't get relegated is a miracle and I had to wonder if a team like Damstadt didn't prepare something more mature so they could compete in the Bundesliga. We can see that they will only have trouble at the bottom and their chances of being relegated are getting bigger due to a lack of understanding. I think Damstadt must make more organized changes so that they don't just lose in the last 5 matches. |

  I know the group stage stage matches are still around 2 weeks away and the champions league have released the match list. We can see that there will be several big matches on matchday 1, of course these are matches that everyone is really looking forward to. On matchday 1, September 19, immediately presented with two matches from the hell group, bringing together Milan vs Newcastle and PSG vs Dortmund. Meanwhile, from matchday 1 on September 20, there was a big match from group A bringing together Bayern Muchen vs Manchester United. Of course we can't wait to watch this match but we have to be patient first because there will be an international break. Do you have any other favorite matches that are worth looking forward to on matchday 1? On matchday 1, there are 2 match highlights that are definitely interesting for me to look forward to, namely Milan vs Newcastle and PSG vs Dortmund. Meanwhile, on matchday 2 I am interested in watching Madrid vs Union Berlin, Arsenal vs PSV, Bayern Munich vs Manchester United, and Sevilla vs Lens. With quite an entertaining schedule between all the games I'm looking forward to Bayern Munich's debut against Man United. Anyone wants to know the extent of the difference in strength. The reason is that Bayern Munich has Kane as well as a player who has experience against Man United. It's a shame that Tottenham didn't qualify for the UCL because if they did then Kane against Tottenham would definitely be more exciting. Regarding the Real Madrid vs Union Berlin match, of course this will be quite an exciting match, especially since Real Madrid has never played against Union Berlin before. We know that Union Berlin qualified for the champions league because of their extraordinary performance last season and managed to replace the place usually filled by Leverkusen. Arsenal vs PSV is also no less exciting and the last time these two teams met in the champions league was in 2007 with very even statistics. Meanwhile, Sevilla vs Lens will be a meeting for teams who have slumped this season and are at the bottom of their respective domestic league standings. Well, it must be admitted that the main headline on matchday 1 was bayern munchen vs manchester united and of course what you said about Kane is true and bayern munchen has a very experienced weapon to destroy the team from where it came from. I think we'll see Kane against his former team happen next season and see Spurs' form now is much more promising than it used to be. |

 Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1699406342920757367It hasn't been heard for a long time that Philippe Coutinho will now join the Qatari team Al-Duhail on loan from Aston Villa. An agreement has been reached and all of Coutinho's salaries during the loan period will be fully borne by Al-Duhail. Had received offers from Besiktas and Real Betis but Coutinho has rejected both and prefers to go to team qatar. I think there is nothing wrong with Coutinho accepting this offer, after all this is only on loan and later he will still be able to return to Aston Villa and continue competing in the EPL. Maybe at this stage of his career he wants to make more money and that is a fact that probably everyone already knows. Shame what happened to his career after he left Liverpool. It kind of fizzled out, he was a real star but for whatever reason it went downhill once he left Liverpool. I have fond memories of him, he was a really good player. I totally do not blame him if he feels like going there to earn really good money. That's right, I still remember very well how he performed when he was at Liverpool and every time he dribbled the ball past his opponent, that's where Coutinho would take a hard, curved kick towards the opponent's corner post. That's when I was so excited waiting for his kick repeatedly when he was dribbling. Then, with such ability, Barcelona is very interested in signing him at a cost of 135 million euros and making him one of the most expensive players. But unfortunately after being with Barcelona, his performance declined so much that Barcelona had to loan him to other clubs from Bayern Munich to Aston Villa. Since then there have been no more significant developments, forcing Barcelona to sell him and finally Aston Villa made him permanent. Apart from all that, we certainly know that Coutinho's level is no longer equal to the current competitive competition, so we have to understand his decision. |

Arsenal are showing good and positive signs to the new season, this is the performance level that can guarantee trophies at the end of the season. All that is required now is to stay consistent to achieve the season’s objectives. After finishing the previous season in a disappointing fashion, Arteta has since strengthened his team by making some acquisitions who have been making good impact in the team. I am sure Arsenal are prepared for whatever this season.
For me the result will still be the same, meaning Arsenal still doesn't have a definite chance of winning the Premier League title. Because after all, Manchester City still has good ability to be able to defend the title. Although indeed, I also admit that Arteta managed to build a young squad for Arsenal. But still, Arsenal still does not have the ability to maintain a stable performance throughout the season. Therefore, I personally believe that Arsenal still do not have the quality to be able to win the Premier League title. What you say is true, it must be admitted that Arsenal may only be able to compete like last season with Manchester City but for the final result Arsenal will find it difficult to maintain consistency. Mikel Arteta is a modern coach and he knows very well what is needed to build this team left by Arsene Wenger even better. So far, Arsenal are still using the same scheme and when playing against a team they should be able to beat, they have to work hard to get the win. Like the previous matches against Nottingham and Crystal Palace, they won by a narrow score. Moreover, against Fulham they even held a draw at the last minute. The lack of goal difference they scored sometimes made it quite difficult for Arsenal to maintain their lead and that could be a threat if they didn't win with a landslide score. |

What about you, what do you dislike ?
The behavior of gamblers I dislike: I dislike gamblers who are irresponsible, taking gambling as a priority, and forgetting the needs of their family. I dislike gamblers who brag a lot. I dislike gamblers who cheat and exploit casino glitches. I dislike gamblers who lies to a friend just to borrow money and fund his gambling activities. What you have mentioned is something that I also don't like, especially the point of gamblers who are irresponsible to their families and also gamblers who borrow money to fund their gambling activities. Maybe I'm one of those people who feels like a gambler's friend who is often asked to lend money. My friend always borrows money from me to gamble and a week later sometimes he returns my money, but sometimes he also returns my money within a month. As a friend, sometimes I am quite annoyed but also feel sorry for him because he is already addicted to gambling. Occasionally I have advised him but he still does not want to listen and continues to do gambling activities. I feel sorry for him because at this time he is still young and before he gets older I hope he can reduce these gambling activities. |

Inzaghi's next test will be a battle against Pioli's tactics and strategy where they are gaining more confidence after defeating Jose Mourinho's tactics. Regarding the competition for the domestic league championship, it is certain that the three will be on a positive track, but we need to see how the consistency of the three clubs will end until the first the first half of the season ends.
Last season Inter Milan managed to destroy Milan in 4 derbies, Serie-A and in the UCL. Inter Milan has always appeared dominant in Derby Della Madonninna meetings. Pioli needs to prepare a strategy that can stop this dominance. Inzaghi seemed to know the weaknesses of Pioli's strategy so that he managed to stop Milan in all matches last season. This is really bad for AC Milan fans, and they really didn't expect its happens again. Losing to Inter for the 5th time in 2 seasons, that's not funny. With such a meeting record, it is very unlikely that Milan will be able to beat Inter. However, this is a very fierce derby and it is quite difficult to predict who will win. I think Inter can be superior with this domination but this time Milan also doesn't want to get the same results as last season by losing in various competitions. I think Milan won't be playing around anymore this time and they will be serious about challenging Inter in the derby which will take place this month. Inzaghi is indeed famous for his prowess in always destroying Pioli but of course Pioli has fully learned from previous experiences so that this doesn't happen again. So I think the possibility that Milan will win this time and even though the chance is very small, it is enough to influence the situation that will arise later. Moreover, so far the two teams have won consecutive games at the start of the season, so this will be an opportunity for both of them to stay away from each other in the standings. |

According to Cadena cope, João Félix, the new palyer of Barcelona will only have 400,000 during the season which is really unbelievable because this palyer could get much better money in other other teams.
This shows us João Félix really wanted to just play for Beceolona because playing with this salary is not a payer can do at this level.
Joao Felix's arrival to Barcelona on loan made several people joke on social media, that when he was still playing at Atletico Madrid he was a reserve player, while playing at Chelsea he lacked the playing minutes given by the coach and at Barcelona he lacked salary. Joao Felix has indeed experienced difficult times in the last two seasons and hopefully at Barcelona he can prove his quality despite receiving a much lower salary. It's time for Joao Felix to prove to the Atletico Madrid coach that not giving him a place in the main squad was the wrong decision and now Barcelona will give him the opportunity to prove it. Deciding to play with Barcelona was more about something else and I saw that he didn't want his place in the Portuguese national team to be replaced by another player because if this season he didn't get more playing minutes at the club, then the national team coach would definitely doubt him appearing for the country. Especially now that not many clubs want him, so when Barcelona decided to recruit him on loan, it was a good decision for him to join. That's a joke that fits reality and I think it's quite unfortunate what Joao Felix has experienced so far. He arrived as a talented young player several years ago, but now his career seems to be just following a flow that has no direction. If it is true that Barcelona is his dream team then he has to prove everything at this club and he has to do it with a high mentality and motivation to prove that he deserves the main place. It is true that to get a place in the Portuguese national team he also has to get a lot of playing minutes and if he stays at Atletico Madrid of course his place will be replaced by another Portuguese player. We know that so many young Portuguese talents have emerged who have qualities that cannot be underestimated, so coach Roberto Martinez doesn't need to be confused about replacing his place with a new player. |

I think Manchester United players are cursed. After Mason Greenwood was under investigation because of sexual assault and he had bad days, this time another palyer from Manchester United, Antony, the Brazilian winger got the same problems. They say this palyer attacked his wife while she was pregnant. Even Brazil's national team put this player out of the teams because of that while nothing is clear yet.  I read this news earlier and still can't believe what happened. I really don't know what Antony has done to get dragged into this case and isn't being a Manchester United player his dream? Is it possible that his efforts so far will be in vain because of his failure to maintain his attitude and emotions, which can cause problems for all parties? Well, I never thought this would happen a second time and Manchester United has issued a statement and the club is still waiting for further information regarding the development of this case. Manchester United also said they would take this matter seriously and it was possible that Antony would suffer the same fate as Mason Greenwood later if he was proven to have committed the abuse.
