Manchester city have good qualities players, and one of the prominent coach with lengthy experience in football space, with his presence everything is working smoothly for city. The citzyens performance will reduce without the master planner, Guardiola. He's the brain behind their triumphant prospects over the years, perhaps he got more achievements to accomplished. Manchester City will be too recalcitrant to let Pep Guardiola leave them so soon, after all he achieved the significant trophies that was the primary goals. He's a free man and he can decides to leave any time he feels the time is right.
But keep in mind that Pep Guardiola is an adventurous person, so there is always a possibility he will leave especially according to his statements if the club he loves calls, nothing can stop him from leaving and that club is Barcelona. Pep Guardiola will always be adventurous looking for new experiences, add insight and revive clubs that really need his services. Even though at this time Man City is comfortable with the presence of Pep Guardiola, it is likely that his departure will leave many gaps. Yes indeed, Pep Guardiola will have time to leave and with that, then of course Manchester City must be ready to lose Pep someday. But yes, so far it seems that Pep is also still able to accept the extension of his contract at Manchester City and of course, maybe that is proof that Pep Guardiola is still comfortable to be part of Manchester City. Also with all the achievements that have been successfully achieved, maybe I still curious also whether Pep someday will experience failures as well such as failing to finish in the top four and failing to win any trophies in a season. If that happens, then whether it becomes the end of the golden era of Pep, it is certainly interesting to look forward to the extent of the success that Pep can achieve at Manchester City. |

At the moment it is still very difficult to get a major title with Manchester United and it will be his dream to win a major title one day.
I thought they can actually build on last season's success, release some fringe players, recruit new players and challenge City for the title until I heard about the resigning of Johnny Evans and I gave up on Manchester United. Based on the club's activity on the transfer market, they don't look ready to me. In my opinion, Arsenal looks more ready than Manchester United. Except they will have to sign another established center back and a striker before the transfer window closes to stand a chance. Also, so far Manchester United still have not brought in a new goalkeeper to replace the main position of De Gea who left because his contract was not extended. With that, maybe Manchester United still haven't made any better preparations for next season. In fact, Manchester United next season must play in the Champion League which of course, at least preparing for the main players and reserve players must be a top priority. Because of course, with a tight schedule, at least it will require Erik ten Hag to rotate frequently to maintain the fitness of his main players as well. |

After loaning to Chelsea on second half season, seems Joćo Félix is not in the plan for Simeone and almost the same for next season because he has offer to Atletico Madrid management for putting Joćo Félix in the name player for selling.
The local media in my country picked up a lot of news about Joao Felix. It seems that he is indeed much talked about because of his ability, especially since he is linked with Barcelona. In fact, he admits privately he is very interested in joining Barcelona. But I don't really understand what price atetico offered for his departure. Because Barcelona certainly have to limit large transfers to avoid FFP sanctions. Basically I quite agree if Joao Felix plays for Barcelona next season but yes, at least Barcelona financial condition also seems to be difficult to be able to bring Joao Felix. But yes, hopefully Barcelona will find the right way to be able to sign Joao Felix because after all, in Barcelona's difficult times last season Barcelona also managed to bring in some expensive players. So yes, because at this moment maybe Joao Felix is an expensive transfer, then Barcelona should be able to work on it too. |

There are several names who recommended by Rudi Garcia as the replacement of Kim Min-Jae which moved to Bayern Munich and they are Konstantinos Mavropanos from Stuttgart, Wolves player Max Kilman and Sociedad player Robin Le Normand but apparently Rudi Garcia was more prefer to gets Mavropanos this because he has cheap price because Mavropanos market value is only 10 millions and it's very cheap compared to Max Kilman and Le Normand which is these players has market value 40 millions and from quality too Mavropanos is quite good and at Stuttgart Mavropanos is important player and he has playing 34 times in all competitions with Stuttgart but he has through an poor season with this team because Stuttgart last season almost be relegated because they only can able to finish at 16th place
It seems interesting if Mavropanos will really be brought in by Napoli, because Mavropanos in the past was also an Arsenal player and then loaned out and played in the Bundesliga. With the move, it will certainly be good if Mavropanos plays in Serie A too at least it will make his experience continue to increase. About the quality basically Mavropanos can still be improved if Rudi Garcia can polish or train him in the right way. So, buying at a lower price than others, it will certainly be good if in the end Mavropanos can contribute as expected. |

Everyone keeps talking about how Pep took a big club and made it just bigger and he never managed a bad team and all that. That's the only criticism that I have seen about him, but there are two points that are marginally wrong and I believe City will get it again. First of all, he always refreshes his squads, he does sell some players, and puts a bit of money on top of it and gets new ones, sure he spent some serious money at times, but he is not the manager who spent the most money, yet still managed to get the most cups.
On the other hand, there are plenty of big clubs that fail to win, does that make them suck? Like Real won league and UCL last season, but lost it this season, does that make Ancelotti suck? Aside from that, if you are as good as Pep, why manage some low level team? Of course you will manage big clubs, best clubs require best managers.
Yes indeed, i also disagree when there is criticism like that, for example "Pep only plays it safe, only coaches a club that has a lot of money to make it easier to get the players he wants" and so on. Because after all, Pep Guardiola is coached Bayern Munich and also Manchester City at the moment because Pep actually got the offer. So with that reason, does it make sense when Pep accepts an offer from Manchester City and then Pep turns it down and Pep chooses to coach a mediocre team? And even then, the mediocre team maybe not have the money to pay Pep. I don't think it makes much sense either way, so Pep can success so far is basically purely due to the great skill he has, and not because of anything else as the criticism says. |

Arsenal only managed to compete for the title with Manchester City last season. Towards the end of the season, the performances of Arsenal's players were erratic and the points gap between Arsenal and Manchester City increased. City's performance has improved tremendously due to coach Guardiola. The strongest team in the Premier League is Manchester City.
All the teams are trying to make themselves stronger in the coming season. Manchester United and Chelsea in particular are desperately trying to build stronger squads. But I think Manchester City will be favorite for next season's title. Because Manchester City already has a strong squad. And the bonding between the players is very strong.
Arsenal is unpredictable team in Premier League now in this season they are bringing few good players but still It's not sure if they can repeat performance like last season but on other hand Manchester City is doing this all consistently and their coach is also having enough sources to fix their problems quickly now we have no sure about Arsenal how they will be performed with Liverpool and Manchester United are also bringing quality players and things are not easy for the Arsenal, but Manchester City is surely on same level even they also lost few players, but they have enough replacements as well. In upcoming season, most chances we will have no fight for the title as Manchester City is surely at the top of the game and can repeat their performance which was in last season with we will have just one or two changes in top four even this is also not clear because all are doing good work with competitiveness is also impressive in this league. So far this transfer market the fact is that Arsenal have only released three players, but it seems only one player who has a good contribution to Arsenal may only about Granit Xhaka who was sold in this transfer window. That way, it is at least certain that Arsenal did not make a major overhaul of the main squad so of course, only entering a few new players in the main squad will not bad affect for Arsenal performance next season. Therefore, i believe that Arsenal still have a good chance to be able to compete strongly in the top four next season and also, not only about Manchester City for the title candidate next season. Because after all, other teams also still continue to work well to improve the quality and performance of their tim and or players for next season. |

If I'm not wrong PSG tried to hire Kane in the past and the previous season but he didn't accept the offer from PSG with the more money he could get. I think Kane will stay loyal to Tottenham or he will join Bayern Munich to achieve his goals in Bundesliga and PSG can't be an option for Harry Kane.
Really? even if there is a loan offer from PSG, Harry Kane can agree and that can get the first trophy of his career. Even though it's quite a rare opportunity and Spurs don't need to fear that PSG will make their players permanent as long as there is no such agreement in the contract. Well, it looks like that is also the past and Bayern Munich is indeed a team that will fight to get Harry Kane and I think right now PSG's focus will only be on Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus because the chances of getting him are far greater than having to try again to Harry Kane. Do you believe Kane can be loaned out to another club? Because the truth is, even Tottenham are not willing to sell Kane. Moreover, the factor of clubs loaning their players to other clubs is because, the player is not included in the coach's plan so the player is loaned out and or does not get a place in the main squad. But regarding Kane, this player is clearly always the first choice in Tottenham's main squad, so it is very unlikely for Tottenham to loan Kane to another club. Also related to Vlahovic, from some sources I got Vlahovic was confirmed to stay at Juventus, and that made PSG or maybe other clubs unlikely to be able to bring Vlahovic at this moment. |

Christiano Ronaldo was closed the possibilities to return to europe this because he feel comfortable to playing at Al Nassr moreover currently he was 38 years old so with his current age Ronaldo was very doubt his fitness still can able to playing at high level of competitions on Europe so that's why he was decide to staying much longer at Al Nassr
Pre season match for Al Nassr doesn't run well because yesterday they were lost with huge scores 5-0 against Laliga team Celta Vigo although Al Nassr were playing with their best starting lineup with Ronaldo and new player just like Marcelo Brozovic but Al Nassr unable to performing well and this is big alert for Al Nassr and they have to evaluated that loses however Al Nassr has 3 more matches for pre season against Benfica, PSG, and Al Shabab
Al Nassr's undoing came after Abdulelah Al Amri was shown a red card and that left Al Nassr with only play with 10 players, because if Al Nassr were still playing with 11 players then it looks like Al Nassr would also be able to hold Celta Vigo to a draw result. But yes, however, it will certainly not be possible if Al Nassr only hopes only on Ronaldo, because they must be able to play with better teamwork. Considering, Al Nassr's rival teams in the Saudi Professional League also have star players, and that will have an impact on the results in the league later. So yes, this pre-season match should be able to achieve better results, of course, to prepare for the new season better and promise good results too. |

The match between Struga vs ˇalgiris two teams has already started in UEFA Champions League today. The players of both teams are trying hard to score but neither team has been able to score any goal so far. Struga is trying hard to win today's match.It seems that ˇalgiris team will score a goal anytime. From the beginning of the game, ˇalgiris started the game very well. If there is no goal between the two teams today, today's match is very likely to be a draw.
This is the second leg and whether the match in this second leg has the same final result as in the first leg which only ended in a goalless 0-0 draw, and if that happens then the match will go to extra time or maybe to penalties. Although, Zalgiris has better stats but in fact, in the first leg also Zalgiris had good stats but the result was a goalless draw. So yes, they are not a top team so, winning only in statistics is certainly still not a guarantee for Zalgiris to win over Struga in this match. |

About Roma, I agree with you. They didn't do well in Serie A, but they played in the Europa League final. This is already a good result for them. I don't agree about Inter. They did very well in Serie A and played in the Champions League final no worse than Manchester City. It's just that Napoli didn't give anyone a chance in Italy this season, so it seems that the other clubs played badly.
this season in Serie A maybe only Napoli are playing consistently. whereas other strong teams such as Juventus, Inter, Milan, and Roma tend to play inconsistently. we cannot guarantee Napoli's game will be the same this season as last season. what is clear is that there are several players who have come and also moved into the transfer market this summer. so we can't measure the strength of each team last season. what is clear is that this season we definitely want to see how Serie A becomes even more competitive with solid teams. Last season Napoli showed from the start of the season that they would be the leaders because they didn't lose 15 games in a row. Even then it was clear that the other clubs would not be able to get to the top. Of course, next season everything should change after the leave of a key player and the change of the coach. The competition will probably be high. Basically, if Juventus didn't drop points then Juventus could have been a tough competitor for Napoli but unfortunately, Juventus lost their ambition to catch Napoli because they had a bad case. But even though Napoli can dominate Serie A last season, at least I don't conclude the other teams are bad because after all, such inconsistencies are very natural. Also regarding Roma and Inter for me both remain good because after all, when one team cannot get maximum results in the local league then of course they can be more optimal in other competitions or tournaments. So yes, Roma and Inter still had good performance and results last season and for next season, of course we will expect a more competitive competition in the top zone. |

I think Real Madrid was the worse team and they didn't win the championship. Barcelona played very passionately and concentrated last year. The better side in El Classicos was Barcelona. When this is the case, it is not correct to accuse a single player. Real Madrid have to be better this year and they should definitely get a striker for that. Joselu may not be able to handle this region alone.
Of course, Joselu's arrival has high hopes of replacing Benzema. He can eliminate dependence on Benzema. Looking at some training sessions I was quite happy with his performance. Guler's arrival also makes a sense of optimism for the new season. He showed his quality as a player of hope for the future. With his young age and incredible ability, I think there is certainly confidence to play more that Anceloti has to give Guler. The hope is that no transfer fails due to injury. Such is the case of Hazard. Hazard is a transfer that failed miserably, because Hazard was brought in at a very high price but Hazard did not have any contribution to Real Madrid. So, even if Joselu doesn't really contribute well, it won't be a problem because Joselu is an old player anyway. So yes, we cannot expect the same performance and contribution between Benzema and Joselu, because of course they have different skills and power. But anyway, at least Real Madrid have a good movement to be able to regenerate the team for the long term, because the young players that Real Madrid currently have are considered to have great potential and quality from time to time. |

We all know that the time has come for Manchester City to take the helm of the elite board. They have waited patiently for this moment, and Pep Guardiola is the manager who has led them to achieving success. When it comes to Manchester United and Chelsea, their peak seasons have come and gone, and Manchester City is the dominant squad. I have complete optimism for them to do better than their predecessors; it's a joy to watch the city's athletes perform at Etihad Stadium. Manchester City is without a doubt the current winning and dominating squad in the English Premier League.
I think that city has the higher chance to repeat the same domination in EPL. it's possible this club gonna be dominating EPL till at least 5 years. Manchester city has been winning EPL title three times in a row. I think guardiola is preparing something big for upcoming season. Guardiola must try to pay attention to the some spots. Well, everything will be fine soon. City will be coming soon as back to back EPL champion for three times in a row. Pep will be trying to create a new record by make city gonna win EPL for 4 times in a row. Any EPL team must prepare themselves to be destroyed by manchester city. City is in beast mode right now. Basically, as long as Pep Guardiola is still the head coach at Manchester City then of course, I will never doubt the quality of Manchester City. Therefore, Manchester City at least will still have a good chance next season but for rivals like Manchester United, I am personally not entirely sure. Because after all, last season also Erik ten Hag could not maintain Manchester United's performance until the end. Although indeed, Manchester United got the Champion League ticket but in fact, Erik ten Hag still did not make Manchester United's performance consistent throughout the season. Thus, then of course it will be an obstacle for Manchester United to be able to maintain its position in the standings later. |

now it's fixed. or not ? Bayern München has a new sports director, Christoph Freund, who starts in München on 1 September.
Christoph Freund was previously with Red Bull Salzburg and takes over the job from Hasan Salihamid˛ić.
Hasan Salihamid˛ić was sacked shortly after the end of the season.
Bayern München have not yet confirmed this change. but many many news channels are reporting on it today.
Almost every news portal is reporting that Bayern Munich has appointed a new sports director, Christoph Freund. I think this is true. Because obviously, they were going to put a question mark at the end of the title if it wasn’t confirmed right? They are absolutely claiming that the news is true. So I believe it is done. Let me also say that I have not personally fact-checked any of the news or tails. But I just googled “ did Bayern Munich appoint a new sports director?” Almost everything and every news article said that, yes they did. Just for reference, I am giving the link below. Bayern Munich appoint Christoph Freund as new sporting directorIn fact, Christoph Freund has been part of the sports staff at Salzburg for a very long time, and during that period i also think that Christoph Freund can provide good results for the fitness of the Salzburg players. So yes, with Christoph Freund becoming the new sports staff at Bayern Munich then of course I am also sure that Christoph Freund can also provide good results. Because it should be so, because of the management factors that Bayern Munich has is better, Christoph Freund should also have no obstacles to provide the best later for the Bayern Munich squad. |

Toulouse have submitted a bid to recruiting Niklas Schmidt, a man from Germany which is currently play for Werder Bremen. It seemed that man might be also interested because maybe he will be shine at there, surely if he can show his capacity as a midfielder. Although this man doesn't have enough experience playing at club overseas, but he isn't too bad statistically, so there is still a chance for him to achieve an impressive record. ( Source) Actually there is nothing different in my opinion, both Toulouse and Werder Bremen (Bundesliga) because both of them are in the lower team category or outside the top 10, of course it will be difficult for these players to shine with their interested clubs. Another thing if the team looks at him like Lens, Marseille he maybe younger to shine because have a club ready to push him But in fact, Schmidt also did not really play for Werder Bremen last season, because Schmidt last season was loaned to a club playing in the 2. Bundesliga. But indeed, if Schmidt next season will really play at Toulouse, maybe it will also be an increase in level for Schmidt. Because maybe, Schmidt can get a better place at Toulouse and not be a player who is only on loan and or only on the bench. Also, in fact last season Toulouse won the Coupe de France and of course, even though Toulouse didn't finish in the top 10, but Toulouse still managed to show their quality by winning the Coupe de France last season. At least it remains an achievement for Toulouse which basically, Toulouse is not really a favorite to get it. So yes, at least that is also the reason maybe Toulouse could be the exact club for Schmidt to increase experience at a relatively young age. |

I understand the surprise in the UCL can happen to any club. But, my assumption is, with Newcastle's current strength, they still need time. It's not about their financial or the rich club, but about their chances of bringing in players who have a winning mentality in the UCL. That's why I say, maybe not for now, until they can win the EPL, then it will be easier for Newcastle to really able to compete in the UCL. We'll see PSG, with their financial strength and also the quality of their players, they can't be champions yet, the same thing can happen to newcastle. Well going to round 16 is look make sense, but we have to see in the group phase
Anyway, if Newcastle are aggressive to bring in players who have a winning mentality, then i'm sure that Newcastle can get it. But unfortunately, so far Newcastle are not too aggressive to bring in players who have more experience who are also more qualified. But, that does not mean Newcastle must first win the Premier League title to bring in players with such criteria. Because the most important thing is, atleast Newcastle can play well in the Champion League, it seems it is also enough to get quality players to accept offers to play at Newcastle. But yes, let's look forward to what results Newcastle will get in the Champions League next season, because of course the hope is to qualify for the last 16 or maybe also the quarter finals. |

I think Mane has still played a good role for Bayern this season. I expected that they might have a crisis after Lewandowski left the club, like it was with Barcelona when Messi left or even Liverpool when Mane moved to Bayern. But Bayern managed to finish the season in first place, although it cost a lot of effort, but they are still in good shape.
Next season may be more different for Bayern Munich, as well as for other teams in the Bundesliga like Dortmund. Because the Bayern Munich coach will prove that he is still very capable of making the Bayern Munich team develop better next season by giving a slightly different injection of direction than before. Bayern Munich's target for next season is bigger than last season, where they will do their best to compete with the top teams in the UCL. After all, Mane is also not certain to leave, although at least the signs of leaving are quite open. But indeed, I also think it looks like with or without Mana basically Bayen Munich will still be fine. But regarding Bayern Munich's performance and success last season, I think Bayern Munich still has a very high level of luck too. Thus, I hope Tuchel will be able to make Bayern Munich better next season and not just rely on luck to get the trophy like last season. |

EPL will be dominated by manchester city again. Arsenal will have no chance to win EPL next season. So many clubs aware to solve their problems. There will be comeback by some clubs like chelsea even liverpool. Arsenal must perform better than last season to make sure its club gonna be able to take the first position for so many weeks. Havertz is a bad transfer by arsenal. Arteta may potentially wasting so much money for nothing. Im feeling doubtful with arsenal's performance next season.
City will always dominate EPL like what bayern did to the bundesliga.
The Premier League is not like the Bundesliga. In the Premier League, there are many strong clubs and that makes one team unable to dominate the Premier League. Man City is indeed strong, but there will still be resistance from teams like MU and also Arsenal. I don't see Arsenal going too badly, what is clear now is that all the teams in the Premier League are preparing their teams to start the season well. I want to see how Liverpool and Chelsea will start the season, maybe they will be better than Newcastle. Also, Arsenal did not only sign Kai Havertz in this transfer window because in fact, Arsenal also managed to sign Declan Rice as their highest transfer at this moment. Thus, then of course Arteta is very earnest to make the team's performance even better next season, so you should not underestimate Arsenal. Although indeed, Manchester City still looks strong but that does not mean Manchester City will easily be able to win the Premier League trophy again. Thus, the competition in the top zone will certainly become more interesting, because the clubs in the Premier League have very good abilities in a very competitive competition and it is very different from other leagues. |

The arrival of a number of world star players including Cristiano Ronaldo certainly had a positive effect on the Saudi Pro League. But it's a shame if what you say is true because if the club's finances are not healthy then the Saudi Professional League is also under threat. This reminds me of the Chinese Super League, which probably has a process similar to what the Saudi League clubs do. But I still believe that the Saudi Pro League will still exist and will probably be the best league in the world if the league and financial management improves by consistently bringing in world-class players.
Ronaldo has the biggest fans base. Bringing him to the SPL already made a very big impact to the popularity of saudi club right now. People were also very often talking about saudi club and the developments in the league. That proves that ronaldo's recruitment has been giving massive impact to the SPL. The popularity from the league is increasing with the goes of time. I would not be surprised if people gonna consider SPL as one of biggest league in the future as long as there will always be money to be supplied to the SPL. I think the clubs here in the Professional League cannot be compared financially with the clubs in the Chinese Super League because after all, the Saudi Professional League has Ronaldo while the Chinese Super League does not have a much number of star players like Al Nassr, Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Thus, the two leagues have different efforts and thus, i'm quite sure that the Saudi Professional League will continue to grow. So, the capacity of the Saudi Professional League is certainly greater and I'm sure it will last a long time too, because they have money that is probably unlimited. |

Morata has never been an incredible scorer in his career. In terms of this aspect he is overrated. However he can still be supportive on attacks in an effective way. But I don't know playing as the centre-forward at Milan would be good for him. Pioli uses a 4-2-3-1 formation most of the time. I think Morata shouldn't be the only player on the front to be relied upon.
He can be more effective when he has a companion beside him. I wonder if Pioli has such plans to make a change. Because I don't remember him using a formation with two strikers. But if you have Morata in your team it is better to adopt such formation just as Atletico Madrid have done.
Morata was once the lone striker in the Spanish national team and that went well in my opinion, in terms of quality Morata is a player who is quite agile in his movements and takes up empty space. I think Morata won't be a problem if he gets good support from the flanks or in the middle to score goals, Morata is the type of player who can be an executioner and can also be a good feeder for his teammates, for a striker he's not selfish and that's very good for the team. It depends on how the coach wants the scheme to be, Morata could be the lone striker or there are other players who will accompany him in the opponent's defense. But if you compare with the game when he was in Spain it seems less sure because the color of their game is different, while here in Serie A is famous for its tough defense so it will be more difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense. However, the scheme that occurs can change under certain circumstances and see from the opponent they will face what kind of strength. In terms of the player's ability, he's good and I agree with what you said, although maybe he's not a striker who is hungry for goals, but his movement to provide space for other players is good. But I also believe it's according to the needs of the coach later. So, is it true that next season Morata will play at Milan? Because it seems that so far Morata is still part of Atletico. But yes, regarding Morata performance indeed, at least i also have the view that Morata is not a player who can be relied upon to score many goals. Because after all, it looks like Morata might only be intended to be bait or trick the opponent's defense line. Because in that way, Morata can open space for his teammates to score goals. But even so, that doesn't mean Morata can't score goals, because as a striker of course, the main thing is to have the good skills to score goals. |

It seems that Joao Felix's return to Atletico Madrid did not make him Happy. It seems that he still can't get in touch with Diego Simeone. With these bad rumors, Joao Felix has been linked with many clubs wanting him. I think Joao Felix is a good player, at Chelsea he was not at his maximum because of the coach. There is news Barcelona and Man United are interested in Atletico's most expensive player. Of course they can take advantage of this bad moment to get Joao Felix.
Yes indeed, Joao Felix is a great player and it seems quite strange if Joao Felix presence at Atletico is not welcomed. So yes, if it is true that Atletico cannot accept Joao Felix for a long time, then of course it would be good for Joao Felix to leave in this transfer market. But about Barcelona, I don't think Barcelona can afford to sign Joao Felix because after all, Joao Felix is an expensive player and Barcelona financial condition is still not fully recovered. So I'm not very sure Barcelona can buy Joao Felix at a high price, but for other big clubs, then they might succeed in bringing Joao Felix. |
