Napoli has not been able to end the crisis. I call Napoli a team that does not know the smell of victory. Parting ways with coach Luciano Spalletti after last season's Serie A championship, Napoli is no longer himself. The presence of coach Francesco Calzona cannot help Napoli turn around the already bad situation. Coach Antonio Conte Became the fourth coach of Napoli this season, which shows the instability of the team. This is the worst season for the team and even superstar Victor Osimhen. In the transfer market, he is no longer a hot name.

Napoli sees Lukaku as the ideal replacement for Victor Osimhen. Osimhen will almost certainly leave. Both sides' contract has a release clause worth 120 million Euros in the summer of 2024. Chelsea also really wants to recruit the 26-year-old striker. Chelsea's financial conditions help them easily do that. Napoli should determine their inability to retain Osimhen and find a replacement. And Lukaku is not a bad choice for Napoli.
Indeed, the impact of Spalletti leaving Napoli this season really made last season's Serie A champions really lose their ability. actually this is very bad. Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri failed to bring Napoli even into the UCL qualifications. NThey all failed. Even when one of the football stars, Osimhen, was still at Napoli, they were not able to optimize his abilities like when Spalletti used to. So this really makes Napoli even worse.

And now, Napoli have agreed to make Conte the Napoli coach, especially in preparation for next season which will of course be even more competitive. And, Conte at Napoli is the coach with the highest salary currently in Serie A. Is it worth it for Napoli to spend that much money on Conte to improve Napoli? It should be possible, because with such a high salary it certainly requires Conte to be able to bring Napoli to an even higher championship. But the problem is, can Conte really be able to? With Napoli's condition like this?

I don't quite understand why Napoli would want to Conte even with such a high salary. However, there are still further discussions regarding the amount that will be agreed again. However, even with a lower salary, it is still relatively high in Serie A and Napoli seems to be very confident in their choice of coach at the moment. Will it be the right decision or will it be like before?

Actually, that's not the right reason because Barcelona also has a fairly competitive squad. At the start of the competition, the Blaugrana were able to appear quite competitive, but Xavi did not get full support from the fans, who always demanded the best and always cornered him. Meanwhile, Real Madrid was also unable to impress this season, but in several situations they were able to get out of the pressure and become champions.
What's strange is that if Barcelona no longer wants Xavi, why did they defend Xavi so much yesterday so that Xavi wouldn't leave Barcelona. And when Xavi changed his decision to stay at Barcelona, ​​then Barcelona sacked him. Seriously, this is outrageous. but indeed, the decision is final. Barcelona has officially announced Hansi Flick as Barcelona's replacement coach for Xavi.

And currently, there is no further news regarding Xavi, whether he will stay in La Liga or leave there. There are indeed several rumors regarding clubs being interested in Xavi.

No one knows what will happen next season, there may be surprises from other teams such as Atletico and Girona which will make it difficult for Real Madrid to defend the La Liga trophy. Mbappe arrival is good news for Real Madrid, his strength will increase after he can strengthen Real Madrid. But you must not forget all the possibilities that could happen that make it difficult for Real Madrid to provide competition, such as injuries to several important players in the long term which makes their performance unstable.
Yes, no one can guarantee that Real Madrid will hold the La Liga trophy again next season. However, if Mbappe is indeed fixed at Real Madrid, it is very likely that Real Madrid's strength will be even better and stronger, especially in their front line... So, other competing clubs will have to try even harder if they really want to take over Real Madrid's position as the holder. La Liga title. As for Barcelona, ​​this is still quite fifty-fifty in my opinion. because they have a new coach, so it is not yet possible to see how the strategy and player selection will be implemented later.

Mauricio Pochettino did not deserve to be sacked for many reasons.
It's what it's.

I hope Chelsea will back become mediocre team like before managed by Pochettino, so Chelsea will realize if what they did is a big mistake. And the same time I also hope Pochettino will find a team that better than Chelsea.
Chelsea have appointed and made an agreement with Enzo Maresca. The signing of the contract will take place soon. The contract will last until 2029. One of the considerations why Chelsea chose Enzo Maresca as Pochettino's replacement was because Enzo Maresca had succeeded in promoting Leicester City back to the Premier League, after previously they had to be relegated and entered relegation. However, there is a lot of debate about whether Enzo Maresca is really able to bring Chelsea much better than Pochettino before or not. remember, it is considered that Enzo Maresca's experience is still not enough to make Chelsea better. However, that did not make Chelsea change direction, and continued to take Enzo Maresca as Chelsea's new coach until 2029.


Done
All has been confirmed and approved, the contract will be valid until 2029.

I've heard and seen people that condemns gambling, due to their religious believes, some because they think that gamblers are irresponsible people, while others are what they've heard about gambling addicts. This sets of people will tell you that gambling is sin, gamblers are people who wants to take shortcuts to riches and gamblers are not responsible or to be trusted with money.
I'm trying to view the positive side from this case. People who condemn gambling because of the mistakes of few gamblers. Honestly, I also hate bad gamblers who use other people's money for gambling and never repay the money. If the gamblers play gambling in a proper way, I think those people won't condemn gambling. There is nothing wrong with gambling games if it is mostly for fun purposes. Those irresponsible gamblers who should be blamed by them.

The morale in this story is that people that condemns gambling should not judge, because it's not a crime to gamble. Although we have irresponsible gamblers, but then there are irresponsible people in every areas of life. So what do you think about the people that condemns gambling?
Whether it is crime or not, it depends on the laws in the country. We can't generalize it!
We must admit that we have irresponsible gamblers. But it doesn't mean all gamblers are irresponsible. For the responsible gamblers, they don't make the mistakes. Those people can't blame the responsible gamblers.

For the people who condemn gambling, I actually don't care with them. As long as they don't bother my activity, I don't want to think about their action. In my opinion, they just don't understand what gambling should be. They only view it from the bad gamblers.

Among my family, of course, no one knows that I play gambling, except for my sister, who also understands a lot in this area and we have common topics, and we also support each other if we have losses. But for example, I definitely don’t want to tell my mother because she simply won’t understand this, she doesn’t have the experience that I have for many years, and of course she will form an incorrect assessment of me. I might have told her, but I’m just sure that it’s better not to do this so as not to cause her additional worries about me.
If your sister knows it, it means there is a person in your family who understands you gambling habit. It is no problem to let someone knowing your gambling, he can help you if you have a problem with your gambling habit someday. Sometimes, we aren't aware that we have a problem with our habit. If no one knows our habit in gambling, who will remind us if we do a mistake.

Sure, it is no need to tell your mother if it won't be good for you. However, you need to ensure to gamble in the right way. Don't do something stupid in gambling, you will be blamed if you do it someday! Just make it a motivation to keep gambling in a proper way because your mother can't monitor your activity. As long as you don't use her money to gamble, I think it is not wrong if you don't tell her.

Anyway, can I know how old are you? Do you still live with your big family?  Huh

Pep Guardiola has dominated football so much because of his style of football and the truth is that the young managers who learnt from him has every tendency of succeeding in football as managers so that's why they're getting job offers from the best teams in the world. For instance, Mikel Arteta learnt from Guardiola when he was his assistant manager at Manchester United and after few years, Arsenal signed him to come and improve their performances and also make the club competitive again. Arteta arrived Arsenal as a young manager who's yet to manage a club's top team in his managerial career but because he learnt from Guardiola, he's been Manchester City's strongest contender in the league for the past two seasons.
Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso learnt from Guardiola though for not too long, recently signed Chelsea manager did work with him in the past and Bayern Munich's latest manager Vincent Kompany also learnt from him and it's believed that they'll all become future great managers
Pep Guardiola is one of smart managers in history, he knows how to build a team. We don't forget that Guardiola builds tiki-taka in Barcelona, he started from 3 central players (Xavi-Iniesta-Messi). It is also done by him in Bayern Munich and Man City, he knows how to choose the right players for the squad. But he is quite lucky because he always becomes the manager in a big team that has no problem with the financial. Even when Pep Guardiola in Barcelona, it was when Barcelona still didn't experience a crisis. With full supports from the club management, Pep Guardiola can buy any player he wants. So, he won't get difficulty in building a team with proper players.

Yes, some young managers learn from Pep Guardiola. Even the play style can be a bit same with Guardiola. I think it is no problem as long as it is not 100% similar, each manager must have their own style. It is a proud for Guardiola that he can be the role model for the new generation of football managers. However, not only Guardiola is the successful manager in this era. We don't forget that we also have Ancelotti who already won many trophies in many teams in Europe. He also deserves to be the role model (inspiration) of the new managers.

However, I have heard several rumors that there are several big clubs who want Xabi to become their coach. And when asked by journalists, unfortunately Xabi did not want to comment. It's natural, because after all, Xabi just wanted to celebrate Leverkusen's victory in the DFB Pokal and also their success with the team.
If I am in the shoes of Xabi Alonso, I will not leave Bayern Leverkusen just now because he has just succeeded in creating a grade A team out of an average team, so he is better of at the club. He understands the players, they love and respect him and he has been lucky with the team as well, they then should he leave to go and start all over in another club. Leaving now will be one of the worse mistakes he can make and I am sure it will affect his career so much. Take for instance, if he leaves and join another club and end up not achieving anything, that will be a big slap to his career because everyone will conclude that it was just luck that helped him win the German Bundesliga, the cup and also go to Europa league final.
The latest rumor is that Man City is interested in including Xabi on the list of Man City coaches to replace Pep in the coming summer. Ah, this is not good. But I still believe that if Xabi will stay at Leverkusen. Indeed, Man City is a promising club, but Leverkusen is beyond expectations. Xabi has been able to lift Leverkusen this far and is this good, what they have to do is improve him, no matter how. With the combination of Xabi and the whole team, of course this will really make Xabi and the whole team even more solid, that's how it should be. Hopefully it's just a rumor and Xabi remains at Leverkusen.

I believe Bayer Leverkusen coach will train his players very well against next season, so that they will be able to lift two or one trophy next season because they will be joining UEFA champions league competition next season.
Leverkusen, alongside with Xabi will still have high chance to win Bundesliga and also DFB pokal again next season. But for the UCL, they must get much better efforts to compete with high top clubs in Europa. but it doesn't mean to underestimate Leverkusen. this club has done great job last season. and with Xabi, the probabilty to reach higher target may be true enough.

Osimhen’s performance this season is related to the management issues, the Napoli team suffered a general performance degradation due to poor management, they sack the coach that started the season with them and signed another one, yet they couldn’t make it to the Champions League which is not good for them as the defending champions.
Yes, really, it's not because Osimhen's game has been bad this season and it doesn't mean he's a bad player. However, the influence of the coach and the strategy used is quite high. IN this season, even his contribution to playing as a starter is not as high as last season. The coach seems to want to show all his players well, but doesn't seem to pay much attention to the position and influence of the team. However, what is certain is that Napoli continues to fail in finding a replacement coach for Spalletti. In fact, this happened not just for a moment, which gave the impression that they were in quite a rush to decide who would be the coach. Meanwhile, on the other side, Chelsea was confident enough to propose to Osimhen for a long time. So actually Chelsea is also trying to make an agreement with Napoli. However, whether this agreement will happen or not, because it seems that Napoli have not shown interest in this.

Moreover, Napoli in 2024 will have a new coach, Conte. This DNA could possibly have an influence on the transfer market for the players there. It is still unclear whether Conte will keep Osimhen or accept Lukaku as his replacement. What is certain is that the deal has been done for Antonio Conte to get a contract at Napoli until 2027.

Real Madrid does not officially announce Mbappe’s transfer, because they are still resolving financial issues with PSG, the point is in the bonus that Mbappe received from PSG (€80 million), although at the beginning of the season when Mbappe was not training with the main team it should not have been paid, then paid and now expect that Real should compensate this bonus, and Real, of course, does not want to pay PSG anything because Mbappe is now a free agent.

But PSG also did not pay Mbappe’s salary and bonuses for several last months, which in general amount to approximately the same amount, and now lawyers are dealing with this issue.


It has not been officially announced, but I know that even real Mbappe wants to come to Real Madrid, but they need to clear all of the financial issues with PSG, and I am sure that Mbappe will not just start enjoying advantages when he comes to Real Madrid, so there will be a lot of adjustments that Mbappe must make. All of the prince's threats will be gone, and the young man will have reaped the benefits. And I do not blame Real Madrid for declining to pay. And I feel that is why they waited a little while so that if Mbappe is a free agent it will make things more easier to bring him in but one way or the other they will diffinatly come to an agreement. I believe that because the young man still wears the PSG insignia, there is no reason why they would refuse to pay him. They will eventually look for ways to find themselves.
Currently PSG is still in talks with Mbappe's lawyer regarding the payment of PSG's debt to Mbappe. Because it has been confirmed that Real Madrid does not want to pay the bonus that should be borne by PSG, there is a possibility that Mbappe will have to give up. However, it certainly cannot be that easy, because Mbappe is indeed entitled to the bonus promised by PSG. And it's true, why should Real Madrid have to pay the bonus promised by PSG itself. However, whether this problem continues or not, or maybe this is PSG's way of keeping Mbappe from leaving, what is certain is that Mbappe will still leave PSG.

Based on the latest release from the @FabrizioRomano account, Real Madrid will announce the release of Mbappe's deal to Real Madrid before Euro 2024. So, we'll just have to wait and see in the near future.

Leverkusen dominated possession of the ball throughout the Europa League final, they also continued to try to build attacks even though they ultimately failed to score a single goal. Leverkusen's defense was really bad in that match, of course this was what Atalanta took advantage of to find a goal.
Yes, Leverkusen won the ball possession. If we learn their formation and the players chosen as starting lineup, it was clear they planned to dominate the ball possession since the early of the match. But Xabi Alonso forget that with no pure striker in the attacking line, it will be harder to score goals. Moreover, they were playing against Atalanta which has a strong defense. As the result, they scored 0 goal in the match. For me, it was a wrong tactic applied by Xabi Alonso. He was too focused on dominating the ball possession.

Here is one of the YT channels that also reviews of the lose of Leverkusen, they also stated that Xabi did a wrong lineup dan choose not proper tactics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sO8woR1NTA

I wouldn't say that Atalanta's win in the final was lucky. Atalanta is really trying hard to create history in the Europa League and this title is their first title in elite competition. Atalanta have improved in recent seasons, but this season they managed to prove themselves and win the title. Of course it is worth giving high appreciation to Atalanta, but not to say Leverkusen was bad for their defeat.
It is strange if someone says it was a lucky. Atalanta players did their hard efforts to win the match. Scoring 3 goals is also a proof that they won the match with brilliant strategy. For me, it is about the strategy, Atalanta can apply a more effective strategy. Atalanta used a more offensive strategy and they play more aggressively. These are the reasons why Atalanta can win the match. All of them are reasonable efforts, there is no term of 'luck' on the result.  Smiley

In the Final against Al Hilal, I think Ronaldo will play the match in which he will be closest to winning the trophy this year. Al Hilal, on the other hand, is progressing magnificently with consecutive victories. I believe that Al Nassr will be successful. I believe they will win this cup final. It will be a very difficult match for them, but this match will cause extra motivation for Ronaldo, the man of the big matches. He has been a goal machine this season and will try to finish the season in the best possible way.
Most people hope Ronaldo can do his best for the final Saudi King Cup. It is the only competition that he can win the trophy this season. Ronaldo and Al Nassr has failed in Saudi Pro League and AFC Champions League, the trophy of King Cup can be a single achievement in this season at least. Sure, it won't be easy to defeat Al Hilal because this team plays very solid in domestic competition. But I also saw an improvement of Al Nassr performance lately, they can get a draw against Al Hilal and win with big scores against Al Ittihad. Moreover, in the last match few matches, Ronaldo can be very productive. Yes, he really showed everyone that he is a real machine goal. We all expect to see Ronaldo scoring many goals in the last match in this season. He even creates a new record in Saudi league. But, it should be supported by the good performance of Al Nassr defenders, too. They can't win if the defenders perform badly again.

Losing and winning in one match is normal for all teams, but when the favorite team loses in one match then many users will be surprised by it. Real Madrid was not expected to lose in the final at all, so everyone would be surprised if Dortmund could beat Madrid.
100% correct. In a football match, there should be 1 winner and 1 loser. And we must understand that the result sometimes can be unpredictable due to many factors. Real Madrid can be the favorite team but if they do a mistake in the match, they can get a lose. Which team that can play more confident, apply the right tactic, and do a good teamwork, they will have a higher chance to win in the match. Let's see which team that can optimize the potential in the match.

I'm not a Dortmund fan and I'm not a Real Madrid fan either. I still think that Real Madrid are the favorites because of the depth of the squad and their performance this season, but Real Madrid can still lose because of their own mistakes and also because Dortmund are playing well. Both teams have the potential to lose or win, but Real Madrid's victory is much more realistic to expect than Dortmund's. I hope you agree with this one, no debate.
Common football fans probably favor Real Madrid to win the match. People know well which team has better players and has incredible history in UCL final. That's why people call Real Madrid as the king of UCL. But this can't guarantee them to win UCL, Real Madrid must do a serious effort if they want to beat Dortmund. The status of King UCL and good records in previous finals won't bring real impacts in the field. It finally depends on how Real Madrid players can play with their best level.

Ancelotti has warned all the players to focus on the match, don't be influenced with the status of favorite team: https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/uefa-champions-league/articles-video/ancelotti-warns-that-madrid-will-have-to-suffer-in-the-final-against-dortmund-2024-05-27

-snip-

Either way Bologna will have a place for UEFA Champions League next season, whether they finished fourth or fifth. I find Atalanta quite in form this period especially after picking UEFA Europa League from Bayer Leverkusen by three goals.
Anyway, top positions are almost fixed but relegation zones teams represented by Empoli up to Cagliari are still in doubt about which team to relegate from it.
Yes, that's right, whatever it is, Bologna has successfully entered the UCL for the 2024/2025 season. Damn Serie A there is still 1 match left between Atalanta vs Fiorentina, but whatever the result of the match, it will not matter. Atalanta will remain at number 4 and Fiorentina at number 8.

For Empoli and other clubs who were threatened with relegation from Serie A, in the end, it was Empoli who could escape it all after successfully beating Roma. in fact, I think, it will be difficult for Empoli to survive because Roma is the opponent. However, Empoli can actually handle it all. And the last goal scored by M'Baye Niang, in extra time, was the decisive goal and really saved Empoli.

While we are getting closer to the end of the season, just like the last season there are some teams that are linked to the superstar player of Napoli, Osimhen. But again this player seems unsure about the future if himself and the next season. Osimhen was even close to signing a contract with Real Madrid and joining this team but he didn't and he extended his contract while now he feels regret about this session he made.
I think this time he will leave however he is still injured for four weeks.
I'm not really sure  with this. But, will actually Osimhen go to Chelsea?
Chelsea have agreed to sell Lukaku, right? And it seems that what is being rumored is that they will really choose Osimhen as their replacement for the swap deal. However, there has been no response or confirmation of these various rumors.

I think Xavi will be successful if he comes to Chelsea. He has a similar structure to Spanish coaches who are tactically good, such as Pep and Xabi. I think Xavi can choose Chelsea, which can buy him the players he wants. Xavi has a great game intelligence. He knows very well where to intervene in the game. Last year, despite the impossible odds, they finished ahead of Real Madrid and became champions. They closed this season with the second best finish. I think Xavi can be successful at Chelsea
Even if Xavi has a similar style as Pep Guardiola and Xabi Alonso, there is no guarantee to be easier successful in Chelsea. We know Chelsea has a complicated problem, too. Chelsea is not so different with Man United, these teams are difficult teams to manage by any coach in the world. I think only a coach who has a good charismatic characteristic like Zidane who can manage the team. Unfortunately, there is no way that Chelsea can ensure Zidane to be their next coach.

Well Xavi may have great intelligence but Xavi still doesn't have enough successful experience in a top team. With Barcelona, Xavi failed to win UCL or Europa league competition. Xavi also failed to win domestic trophies in his second seasons managing Barcelona. Well, the reason may be about the quality of Barcelona squad. But I think Xavi should go far in international competitions and win at least 2 domestic league. So, because Xavi can prove his quality as a coach in Barcelona, I am not sure he will be successful in Chelsea.

Yes, definitely. For Leverkusen and other clubs, Leverkusen's achievements this season under Xabi have been truly fantastic. It doesn't need to be in accordance with everything the fans want, because, sometimes this is precisely what can make Leverkusen become much better and stronger in the next season. Although it might be quite difficult to defend the title, because of course Bayern Munich and other clubs are competing closely. However, as long as Xabi is still there and they can get more pro players, Bayer Leverkusen should be able to handle it very well.
I completely agree Leverkusen success this season under Xabi leadership has been truly impressive. While it is natural for fans to have their own expectations sometimes going against grain can lead to even greater improvements. Defending their title won't be easy especially with powerhouses like Bayern Munich and other strong contenders. However with Xabi at helm and addition of more talented players I believe Leverkusen has the potential to rise to the challenge and continue their upward trajectory. Xabi guidance and the team determination will be key to their success in the next season.
And this definitely makes Leverkusen's targets even bigger next season. Of course, this makes Xabi have a much bigger challenge than this season. It won't be easy for Xabi. but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Leverkusen certainly gives Xabi access to choose the top players he is targeting, and this can help Xabi to realize even bigger dreams and targets for Leverkusen.

However, I have heard several rumors that there are several big clubs who want Xabi to become their coach. And when asked by journalists, unfortunately Xabi did not want to comment. It's natural, because after all, Xabi just wanted to celebrate Leverkusen's victory in the DFB Pokal and also their success with the team.

Lyon did his best. There is a big difference between PSG and Lyon, and this difference is both the quality of the players and the financial power. Even the fact that Lyon has come this far is a success because the economic gap between the clubs is widening every season.

If they had not fallen behind 2-0, they might have had a chance in the match, but it is difficult to come from 2-0 behind against a team like PSG. When they brought the score to 2-1, it was minute 55 and there was actually enough time for the match to end. They could have scored another goal but they couldn't. I think they played a good game against a team like PSG. If the score was 1-1 in the first half, Lyon could surprise in the second half.
Exactly, Lyon has done their best. However, the opponent is PSG, a big club in the French League which has more great players than Lyon. From the match alone, PSG was far more dominant. But what's quite interesting is that Lyon didn't just stay silent. They attacked several times from the few opportunities they had. This time, they were smart enough to actually take advantage of the opportunity.

We can see, from only 31% ball possession, Lyon was still able to attack PSG and score 1 goal. But yes, they had to admit PSG's victory because initially, they were already 2 goals behind in the first half. Meanwhile, in the second half, Lyon's performance actually improved a lot, they were even able to put pressure on PSG and also block PSG's attacks from breaking through the defense line again.

But, whatever the outcome, congratulations to PSG, not only winning the French Cup but also the French League as the main league.

Isn't this much more impressive because currently Real Madrid and Barcelona are not dominating the top scorers, right? Last season, the top scorer for La Liga came from Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski, who was able to score 23 goals followed by Real Madrid player, Benzema with 18 goals. And this season, the first and second positions are occupied by other than the two big clubs, namely Artem Dovbyk from Girona and also Solrtoh from Villarreal.
It is quite a remarkable achievement for him. What Girona has achieved this season is really surprising and of a truth nobody has ever thought that Girona will rise to the occasion this season the way they did. Girona scored lots of gals this season so am not surprised to see their  player as the league's top scorer. I think this is healthy for the league, sometimes I get tired of always seeing the top 2 teams in Laliga dominating in everywhere, but now that the other teams are coming up it will make the league more and more interesting. I just hope that Girona is not just a one season wonder, they should continue to build on what they have achieved this season, they should hold onto their star players next season so that they can still be more competitive. If more teams can wake up in league and do as Girona did this season, the league will be more interesting.
Truly remarkable. The hat-trick he created in the last match yesterday made him immediately the top scorer with 24 goals. Not only that, the performance is also felt to be very consistent, with the various twists and turns of the club's struggle which has just risen. And actually, breaking this condition is really not easy. And because of his achievements, Artem Dovbyk is on the radar of several top clubs who want the player from Ukraine. Some of them, rumors mention Napoli, Milan, Juventus, and perhaps there are others. It is rumored that Artem Dovbyk will leave Girona next summer, but there is still no definite decision yet.

I actually see it as a sad farewell considering it was a dismissal and not Xavi's own wishes that made him leave Barcelona. We know very well what it feels like to be thrown away, especially as he is a club legend who risked his career at the club he loves. Now as a coach it doesn't seem right what the club management took by doing this to Xavi.
Indeed, really sad farewell party. I really can't believe that this is the end of Xavi's journey as coach at Barcelona, after previously being strongly defended by them. But that's the world of football. I'm sure that as soon as possible, there will be clubs that will get Xavi. I am actually increasingly curious about Barcelona's performance in the coming season with their new coach, with conditions that are still very limited. Or, maybe Barcelona will be more lenient with their new coach this time?

Yes, last season's failures made Southampton fail. However, this time, they managed to return to the Premier League after beating Leeds in the Championship play-off final. This brings an opportunity for Southampton to prove again that they can do it, right? However, this will also provide a challenge that will certainly be much tougher this season, because after all, many other clubs have been quite rising up so far. The only goal was a savior for Southampton in the final match, beating Leeds.
Congratulations to Southampton for returning to the English Premier League again after some seasons in the second division. Since Southampton were relegated, they've been doing their best to return to the English Premier League and was very close last season but failed. The club manager, players and fans I believe understands that it's one thing to return back to the English Premier League but absolutely a different thing to remain in the league and I believe they're very prepared for the task ahead
Yes, at least they can re-enter the EPL next season. Although maybe we also can't expect much from this club. because his track record so far in the EPL is still the same. As far as I know, Southampton's top ranking in the EPL is 6th and that happened in the 2015/2016 season. And after that, it was worse than that, often even entering the middle to bottom of the standings. Because of that, next season, they also hope to try even more optimally, at least staying in the middle of the standings, even though this will certainly be very difficult. Remember, the Premier League is always that competitive.

What truly disappointed me was that all of the EPL teams were performing so badly at the European competition and they left from that competition so earl.  this league is missing to get additional seat for its club in UCL. This means that England will still have four UCL seats.
Seriously, this season, The EPL didn't not provide enough satisfactory results in the Europa League and also the UCL. Even though EPL clubs are famous for being clubs with strong, tight and competitive competition and performance. However, this season, in both the UCL and Europa League, representatives from the EPL could only stop at the Quarter Final round, including Man City as last season's UCL trophy holder, who had to bow to the La Liga giant, Real Madrid.

Could next season be the best season for clubs from this EPL by taking various lessons and experiences from this season?

There are people that has borrowed money to gamble and they made it back with lots of profits. We don't have to choose such an idea because we might not know the particular game the person gamble on to make huge profits from a borrowed money. Also we might not know what strategy was used and whether the gambler was just lucky to make profits or not. We need to be wise and always think when we make decisions for a better rewards. We don't need to follow the crowd but have to show working and result nmnit copying another persons results especially when embracing it to make such kind of money.
It is not every gambler who can succeed to do it. Most gamblers who try to double the money got from the loan, they end up with sever losses. I think it is not a good idea to follow the success gamblers. Sure, many gamblers think they are good enough in playing certain games. But don't forget that we have a bad day, and we may lose controls in the game. So, it is too risky if we use loan money for gambling. Moreover, we have too high expectation to win a lot of money. This just lead us to gambler excessively without a proper plan.

I agree that we must be wise. We don't chase the wins because it is very difficult to do. As long as the main factor is about luck, it is better to spend money carefully. I also only spend money that I have allocated in the beginning of the month. I make an allocation of the money to use in a month. When the money is over, I never try to add more money. I know it is not a better way to increase the chance of winning.

Anyway, it is important to learn how to manage budget or allocated money for gambling. Here are the sources of some tips to manage the money in a proper way:
- How to stick to gambling budget
- How to manage our money at a gambling
- How to keep our gambling budget in check
