Oh, yes, Napoli has been making a great impression with its beautiful attacking game since the beginning of the season and is a discovery at the European level, because it still showed itself perfectly at the Italian level last season. Another question is that a strong start last season still did not lead the team to titles. I also hope that there will be surprises in this Champions League draw, like last year when Real Madrid celebrated the victory, at least because of the unusual season due to the unusual timing of the World Cup. Well, let's see how the draw of the 1/8 finals will take place and which pairs will be formed based on its results and after that it will be possible to make preliminary layouts.

The main danger of high inflation is that it eats up your savings and therefore the rate on accumulating savings for a long time no longer works. Also, in the case of high inflation, companies can no longer plan some things for a long time and will try to do such actions that will provide a large profit in a short time. Also, high inflation eats up the standard of living of citizens and citizens become poorer. Governments of states and citizens should change their actions, but unfortunately they do not have this experience and all this leads to social tension, and if the circumstances are unfortunate, to an explosion. Therefore, very difficult times are coming now and it is not known when there will be an improvement.

With the same success, then we can say that the upcoming match does not matter so much, because Napoli has some margin in the championship. It is for such a brave team as Napoli that the defeat in the match with Liverpool may still not play the best role, because the club's winning streak was interrupted, which stopped at the mark of 13 matches. It's one thing when the team succeeds and wins follow one after another, and it's quite another thing when it doesn't work out and the players' mood is not the best, too, begins to put their imprint on the results. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the players will react to this and how they will play their match with Atalanta, because Atalanta, if they win, will approach Napoli by a distance of 2 points, and Napoli still has a margin and will remain the leader even if they lose.

I think Juventus was just lucky that Benfica provided the result they needed in the last minutes of the match with Maccabi, and therefore Paris Saint-Germain had neither time nor the mood to radically improve their goal difference. Juventus really disappointed in the current Champions League draw and could not support the initiative of other Italian clubs like Napoli, Inter and Milan and could not get to the Champions League play-off stage. On the one hand, Juventus can be happy that they still at least got into the Europa League, but with such a level of play, the club does not look like a contender for the trophy there either. Massimiliano Allegri still has a lot of work to do to improve the club's game.

I think there is still a connection between the performances in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, because Eintracht does not have such a depth of the squad to participate painlessly in full force in both tournaments. The Champions League, in addition to just the prestige of participation, also gives a very good increase to the club's budget and therefore it will not be possible to completely ignore it, on the contrary, the players treat these matches in a special way. But it can hit the Bundesliga matches, so the really big plus is that the club has secured an exit to the playoffs and therefore can throw all its strength and emotions at the matches of the domestic championship.

In any case, conclusions can be drawn only at the end of the season and the only thing that can be said so far about Xavi's work is that Barcelona has already lost the chances of winning one title, namely the winner of the Champions League. However, at the same time it acquired a chance to win another title in the Europa League. By the way, maybe even this is for the best for Barcelona at the present moment, because it was very hard to believe in Braselona's chances of winning the Champions League, but winning the Europa League is much more tangible. Still, no matter what anyone says, but Koeman still won the Cup, the Copa del Rey, and Xavi has no trophies for the second year of work yet.

Musk promised before the purchase that he would make Twitter a private company, so his power in the future will be even greater. The main problem of Twitter, which led to the sale of the company, is that it is still unprofitable and so could not find ways to generate solid profits. Therefore, it is quite understandable that Musk, after his acquisition of the company, dismisses the previous management, brings his people there and will directly manage the company himself. Then there will be inevitable staff cuts, which in Ilon's opinion are too many. Another question is that he also has Tesla, which is now experiencing a difficult period of time of transformation from a startup into a normal large car manufacturing enterprise and also requires a lot of attention. Will this attention be enough for both companies and will their activities suffer from this? Does he really need an additional headache and additional responsibility?

Many football players and coaches believe that at times it is even more difficult to score for a team that has a remote player than if the teams play in even squads. Firstly, the team playing in the minority begins to pay much more attention to defense than attacking actions. Secondly, there is a certain psychological factor when a team with numerical superiority begins to show less effort and reduce turnover, hoping that it will still achieve its goal. Verona, after the removal of its player, looked quite decent for the entire second half and could well have drawn, but still missed the ball at the end of regular time, and then in the time added by the referee. Mourinho said, on this occasion, that you can talk about the luck of Roma, but they waited for this luck for 45 minutes.

It's just that in the next transfer window Barcelona has the right to spend 1 euro to 1 saved, but next summer the La Liga rule will apply to Barcelona, when a club that has exceeded its salary limit has the right to spend only 1 euro for 4 saved. In these conditions, it will be very difficult to sign Messi next summer. That's why there were rumors that Barcelona would make every effort to sign Messi in the winter. However, I also see no reason for Messi's return right now, when Paris Saint-Germain has a chance of winning the Champions League, that all this should be exchanged for a chance to win the Europa League. Therefore, if the situation remains at this level, then everything goes to the fact that Messi will remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the next season.

Well, we can say that a good team is usually built not in one year or two, but only for the third season, but of course this applies to ordinary clubs and this does not quite apply to a club like Barcelona, where it is unlikely that at least some coach will be given so much time to build a team. And the initial data and capabilities of the coach in Barcelona will be clearly higher than in an ordinary ordinary club. In principle, no one expected any super-results from Xavi last season, but his second place in the championship earned him some additional margin of safety for this season. Therefore, Xavi has so far been forgiven for the team's non-entry into the Champions League playoff stage, although this is a very strong blow to the budget of the club, which is already experiencing big problems. If Barcelona is going to fight for the title in La Liga until the very end of the season, then I don't think the management will even think about his resignation. But in the third season, the season will have a much greater demand for results and titles.

It's just that Arsenal is not yet such a powerful team to beat their rivals in all matches, and therefore such punctures are inevitable for the team. Chelsea, with their last matches under Potter's leadership, seemed to convince everyone that the team's crisis that had been outlined at the beginning of the season under Tuchel seemed to have been overcome, but the last game with Brighton and a major defeat in this match made many begin to doubt it. Arsenal at the same time won a major victory with a score of 5-0, even in a match with an outsider, but this match is notable for the fact that this is the first such major win since Arsene Wenger. Therefore, for me personally, Arsenal is the favorite in the match against Chelsea, despite the guest status, at least I think Arsenal at least should not lose in this match.

In any case, it is absolutely impossible to avoid mistakes and there is nothing more important than your own mistakes that you make yourself, because this is the most effective way to avoid mistakes in the future. It is this bitter experience that can then help not to make these mistakes again. In the field of finance, this is generally important, because wrong actions in this area can leave not just without a confident future, but even without a stable present. Also, do not forget that any market is a zero-sum game and in addition to the winners there will always be losers, so the minimum task is at least not to lose much.

n general, there is a statement that, to paraphrase, that a wise man simply does not create problems, so avoiding problems is not the worst strategy Another question is that each avoidance of problems has its own limits and sometimes it's better to really solve an overdue problem before it comes back to you again in a much worse version. Any life puzzle has different options for how to add up and what is the best option becomes clear only after time has elapsed. Therefore, you should not blame some people for their actions or inaction. They act according to their character and their powers, and these forces are not always huge.

Well, it would be quite surprising if Freiburg lost to Schalke in distress this year. In any case, Union has been pleasantly surprising this year and is still keeping up the pace, showing character by gnawing out a strong-willed victory in the last seconds of the match. Another question is how much this fuse will be enough for the team, because at a long distance Borussia Dortmund and even more so Bayern Munich will take their own in any case and you can only compete with them by also taking your own with all rivals. In any case, the gaps between the rivals are still microscopic and the same Borussia Dortmund, with a successful combination of circumstances, can become the leader of the standings in just two rounds.

Oh, yes, a draw in any case gives 1 point to the piggy bank, unlike a loss. It's another question, it's one thing to share points with a competitor, slow him down and not let him go far away from you, and it's quite another thing to share points with an outsider and allow your direct competitors to get closer to you. This point can be useful at the finish of the championship, and these two unassembled points, on the contrary, may not be enough at the finish. Therefore, the situation is twofold, but for now Real Madrid can afford such losses and this has not yet turned into a long-term trend. This is also a great reason to think about the fact that 1 goal advantage in such a match is nothing and is easily leveled by one penalty, even though Ancelotti was extremely dissatisfied with the appointment of this penalty after the match.

Well, Manchester City is also under the same huge pressure and it is not yet a fact that they can handle this pressure better than Arsenal. Of course, Manchester City has been famous in recent years for being much more stable than its rivals, which Liverpool most often served, goes a long distance in the championship, but all series ever tend to end, all rules usually have exceptions, so it can happen this season. Yes, Manchester City have a rich experience of successful leadership in the championship, but Arsenal may have a much greater desire to win the title, because for them it is more important and new, unlike City. Arsenal and Arteta have something else to prove, unlike Guardiola and City.

There is an interesting situation in this group, when Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica are fighting in absentia for the first place in the group and the best choice of the opponent in the playoff stage. And Juventus and Maccabi are fighting for third place and participation in the Europa League playoffs. The additional intrigue here is given by absolutely identical indicators in face-to-face meetings between PSG and Benfica, so both clubs will probably try to squeeze the maximum out of their matches about goals scored. It is clear that on paper Benfica's chances in the match with Maccabi look preferable than PSG's with Juventus, but it is worth bearing in mind that both favorites will play their matches away, and also take into account PSG's fanatical composition. Therefore, I will still give some preference to PSG in the battle for first place, especially since PSG has a margin in goal difference, which is 4 goals.

Well, I don't know, Mainz is still looking good this season and it's not for nothing that it takes 6th place in the standings. The team no longer loses 4 rounds and at the same time has an active winning streak of 3 matches in the Bundesliga. The team is only 4 points behind Bayern and, if it wins, it can come close to the hegemon of German football. Therefore, it is not a fact that Bayern will easily win this match, although of course the factor of the home stadium and the support of their fans should not be discarded. It's just that, oddly enough, the victory over Barcelona in the Champions League and the factor of some emotional emasculation can play against Bayern.

Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri said that Pogba will not take part in the next three Juventus matches, that is, the player will not take part in matches for the club before the start of the World Cup. Does this mean that the footballer will also not automatically take part in the World Cup itself? Because it seems that the head coach of the French national team Didier Deschamps said before that he would not take a football player into the team if he did not have time to get the necessary physical shape, and not participating in matches for the club clearly does not contribute to the recruitment of at least playing form.

Let's start with the fact that Alfa Romeo does not participate in the ownership of the team, does not supply engines for the car, but is only a partner of the team, that is, relatively speaking, pays money for the team to be called by its name. On the other hand, the engines are supplied to the team by Ferrari, which is controlled by the Agnelli family company Exor. And Alfa Romeo is also controlled through Exor. Audi will buy 75% of Sauber, but will do it gradually, 25 percent of the shares in 2023, another 25 percent in 2024 and another 25 percent in 2025. After this period, Audi will also supply engines to the team. Alfa Romeo can continue to be a partner of the team until 2025, but for now prefers to extend cooperation specifically every year.
