The final match of Vijay Hazare Trophy will be played today at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. Haryana will take on Rajasthan and both of them were not among the favorites when this tournament started. Haryana is the surprise package, having defeated very strong teams in group and knockout phases. They are led by Ashok Menaria, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel being the only other experienced players. Rajasthan is relatively more star-studded, with players such as Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar and Mahipal Lomror in the squad.   

The match has just started and Haryana is batting right now. Only the first over has been played of this match. And they have already given two extra runs I can see. Rajasthan needs to start to be more disciplined in the bowling. The Batsmen are trying to be careful at this moment. And they are taking it easy right now. Of course, they are trying to survive for the first few overs. After that, there will be an acceleration. So far nothing worth mentioning has happened to be honest.

For me it is simple. The countries which actually have a lot of money and they want to really get in the business quickly, are making the teams with foreign players so that they can make cricket a business model in their country. Not so much as they want to improve in the game. At the same time the countries which are relatively poor, are not being able to do that. And at the same time, they are also not getting too much help from the ICC. Let's be honest, the money that they get from the ICC is definitely not good enough. So it is hard for them to actually find good talent and nurture them properly.
Maybe you are right in your view about this all but now this can't go for long time because we have first dropped of change through Oman and most chances as things will be gone in positive way we will have changes in teams and mostly will try to go with their native players because this is the best way and ICC surely will also act as we have rules in IOC for the games, so even money can't bring anything positive for the countries which are having adopted players.

Africa region is surely doing impressive work and now few other Asian countries are also bringing things like these which will give them better results and more money because in near future we will have more money with viewership is going to increase, but again we need strong act from the ICC which can bring good changes and more money just keep going with their positive mind for the change.

For ICC to actually take strong steps about this, they will definitely want to have the approval of the Indian Cricket Board. First I thought the Indian Cricket Board should not oppose this idea. But then I realized India is currently a friend of England. And England does sometimes bring players from other countries. So probably India might actually oppose this idea.


In my opinion, for playing cricket talent matters a lot. It doesn't depend the country is poor or rich. But one thing matters , Government supports cricket or not. If government will provide support to players them youngsters will arise. And they will be motivate and they will do hard work day and night. And one good player can make the base of country and that is good path to remains in to World of Cricket. Indian public is very passionate about cricket,that is why they are top in cricket. Population and money does not depend on quality players.

If a country is poor, they are going to have to worry about how to feed their people. They will have to think about the infrastructure first instead of playing cricket. They will have much more to worry about. And that will eventually make them not be very interested in cricket. And even if they start to think about cricket, they are not going to do very good at it and they will eventually end up losing money from it. So I think if a country is poor it is definitely going to have an effect.

My advice as someone older than you, don't force your will to invest in Bitcoin. Your father gives you $100 of allowance so you can use it for your needs, not for investment. You already get an allowance, but you still use your father's credit card for your expenses just to invest in Bitcoin, I'm sure your parents' reaction will not be good. So instead of that being a problem, it's better for you to focus on your studies and not think too much about investing in Bitcoin.

I agree with this, although bitcoin is a potential investment, it is not the only path to help us succeed. And between learning and investing in bitcoin, I think learning is more important and needs more attention because if we study hard and gain good knowledge, we will have the opportunity to have high income and also have a successful life even more than investing in bitcoin. I have the feeling that many people are so obsessed with bitcoin and get-rich-quick stories from bitcoin that they forget what their mission is. Studying is very important for young people and students, or family needs are much more important than investing in bitcoin, but many people forget this.

Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee will be unavailable for the third match, as they have been released from the squad to play in the domestic 4-day competition. Coetzee was in terrific form and picked up 3 wickets during the second match (Tilak Varma, Ravindra Jadeja and Arshdeep Singh). In their absence, the South African pace attack will be lead by Lizaad Williams, Nandre Burger and Andile Phehlukwayo. There is a chance that Ottniel Baartman will be drafted in to the squad. Spin attack will be lead by Tabraiz Shamsi, after his terrific spell in the first match.

India should be able to win the third match. They will be having a pretty good advantage. Right now there is no chance for them to be able to win this series. All they can do is to not lose and save the series with a draw. And with some players that played for South Africa in the second match in which they actually lost, not being available, India should be able to have a good chance to win. But India will have to improve their performance in the bowling. Because in the first match, the bowling was absolutely trash from India.

There is no doubt we are going to have good changes in this game just because of Olympics and Asian games which have their own system and all countries need to follow this, but it's starting from Oman it's perfect news for the cricketing fans because if they will jump in this game with their native players then surely we will have good improvement in quality and performance of many countries, and they will also give this a try which is going to bring positive results for this game.

Currently, we have African region which is going mostly with their native players and now this change will surely bring change into this region as well and ASEAN is also having good chance which will bring more countries and strong control for the Asian region countries to adopt and having good revenue from this game as well.

African nations have made rapid progress in both men's and women's game over the years and I agree with your statement that almost all of the teams in this region are dominated by native players. In Asia, it is mixed. There are teams like UAE and Oman, which are comprised primarily of expat players, but at the same time teams like Malaysia and Nepal are 100% native. Another problematic area is Europe, where most of the teams are 100% expat. Same can be said about the North/South American teams as well. And in Oceania, it is almost all native.

For me it is simple. The countries which actually have a lot of money and they want to really get in the business quickly, are making the teams with foreign players so that they can make cricket a business model in their country. Not so much as they want to improve in the game. At the same time the countries which are relatively poor, are not being able to do that. And at the same time, they are also not getting too much help from the ICC. Let's be honest, the money that they get from the ICC is definitely not good enough. So it is hard for them to actually find good talent and nurture them properly.

$50 is a nice amount to start with. It's not too high and it's also not too low. What you heard about BTC is true. I think it's the same as they are hyping it but we can't consider this wrong as the sh8tcoin because BTC is not like them.

And even if you got caught up in the dip, you can just HODL your losing investment for a while because the price can surely recover later on. It may take some time too, but it's normal and that is why there is also a caution which states that BTC is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to think about it and proceed if you think you have what it takes to HODL longer. Having a virtue like that will help you not only in earning huge but also in other aspects of your life.

$50 is a good amount to start with and OP could start investing bitcoin with that but the problem is we don't know what his goals and ambitions are. If he has heard stories about bitcoin increasing in price millions of times and making many people rich with just a small amount of money and he is looking for that, then that $50 will be nothing and impossible help him achieve his goal. Investing 50 USD in bitcoin will only help OP gain experience with bitcoin, but it is not a decent amount of money that will help him escape poverty or become rich.

Next is the Manchester United - Bayern Munich match, this will be a difficult match for Manchester United considering their unlucky position in the current UCL standings. They have to win against Bayern Munchen as well as on the other hand the Copenhagen - Galatasaray match has to end in a draw, this is not possible for me, what do you think? Can these two conditions meet so that Manchester United can advance to the next round with Bayern Munich?

It is very difficult to make predictions about this match. Bayern Munich team is much stronger and stable than Manchester United. However, Bayern Munich suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt in their last match in the Bundesliga. So beating Bayern Munich is not impossible. But Manchester United's performance is also very weak. Coach Ten Hag has completely failed to stabilize this team. Manchester United is not able to do well even against the weak teams of the Premier League. However, even if Munich did not do well in the last match, I would consider Bayern Munich as the favorite in this match. And decided to bet Bayern Munich to win. My guess is Bayern Munich will win 3-1 today.

New Zealand women's team performed very well against Pakistan team. Pakistan team could not perform well in terms of bowling, New Zealand team was able to score 365 runs with the only bowling opportunity. Omaima Sohail gave away 39 runs in 2.4 balls which is the highest bowling cost for Pakistan team. Other bowlers have given lower run rates but Omaima Sohail (14.6 run rate), but Pakistani batsmen have had the highest wicket fall in comparison. So, in any aspect, the performance of Pakistan women's team is much worse than that of New Zealand team. Due to which the Pakistan team was forced to lose under the pressure of the wicket at the last moment.

Pakistan women's team would not have been defeated so badly against New Zealand women's team if Pakistani bowlers had performed better. Batting against a target of 366 runs, it was impossible for the Pakistani batsmen to win. Matcity would have been competitive if the target was between 280-300. Among the Pakistani bowlers, Nashra Sandhu and Umme Hani managed to bowl with some control. Besides, every bowler's performance was poor. Also, although the two Pakistani openers batted well, I did not see any other batsman in the squad batting better. Even if they win the T20 series, I doubt Pakistan women's team will even win a match in the ODI series.

This was a very big win for New Zealand women. They have performed really well and did not give any chance to the Pakistan women in this match. Pakistan was just not able to pick up wickets like at all. By the time Pakistan actually was able to pick up the first wicket, and New Zealand women had already scored 165. And after that, they had another big partnership. Every wicket for them fell after an almost 100 runs partnership. But on the other hand, Pakistan was not able to build good partnerships like that. Only the openers of Pakistan actually did well. The others were unable to even average 15.

For the last match of group stages Brighton will fight against Marseille and indeed based on their position on group B both teams have already to qualified but i think this match is still interesting because the outcomes of this match will be determined final position for both teams and if we compared the recent performance from Brighton and Marseille i can see Marseille was slightly better than Brighton because at Ligue 1 and Europa league their performance is still stable even Marseille still unbeatable until 5th matches in this competition

But surprisingly the bookmakers provided low odds for Brighton @1.65 which mean they are the favourite and Marseille as underdog status but in this match Marseille in the comfortable position because if they want to finish at first place then Marseille only required draw result and from the last meeting of these teams too both teams have already to playing draw and in this match too i think there is possibility that result will be repeated again
Yes, I admit that Marseille's performance looks very good in League 1 and in the European League, but in my opinion, Brighton also has a pretty good performance here, even though in the Premier League it's not that amazing, but still the bookies will favor Brighton because they will compete at home and according to what they say. I know that Brighton can always control the match as long as this club plays at home and the chances of winning are still greater compared to Marseille who will compete as guests in the upcoming match.
But if we just speculate that Marseille will win and beat Brighton, it seems a little funny but it could happen and in my opinion this could end in a draw because the two clubs have almost equal performance.

It is still an interesting game though. I think the performances of those teams in their domestic leagues is about the same, but it should not be forgotten that Brighton is playing in a much stronger league of course. The biggest weakness Brighton has this season is their defense as they are conceding about two goals per game, which is way too much for a team that might have the goal to qualify for the European competitions. But they still must be taken seriously as an opponent for any team, no matter who we are talking about. I guess that Marseille will try to end this game with a draw and therefore be very strategic in that game.

I actually think that both of the teams are going to go for the win in this match. And that is going to open up more chances for the other team to score. And that is also going to make both teams prone to mistakes. In my opinion. They are going to leave gaps in the defense. So I think there is going to be a winner in this match. But I am not sure which team is going to win. And the reason is what @tusandii said, both of them have equal performances at this point. So it is going to be hard to choose a winner. But I am definitely expecting a winner.

The defenders that al-Nassr currently have are really not that good. Al-Nassr needs better defenders. And Luis Castro as a coach is also aware of this. Because there has been a lot of news talking about this. It is difficult to balance a squad's performance when there is a gap between the front line and the back line. Al-Nassr has a good front line but their back line is really bad. And Luis Castro seems to have also tried several recipes or strategies to overcome this but still failed. So the solution might be to bring in defenders from the ranks of Europe's top defenders. Although there has been news about Al-Nassr approaching the Atletico Madrid defender. But the news is still unclear.
This means, they already know their weaknesses, and they are currently waiting until the transfer window opens to recruit top defenders from Eurupa. That's good, I hope Al Nassr plan can be implemented as it should. Yes, previously I heard too. There were rumors about Al Nassr, which are want to recruit Mario Hermoso, the Atletico Madrid defender. But I heard they want to recruit him without transfer fees, because Mario Hermoso contract will end in June 2024.
Al Nassr only needs to recruit defenders to keep Al Nassr's defense stronger on the front line. Al Nassr is already good. The only drawback is in the back line.
If Al Nassr recruits defenders from Europe, I think that is a good thing and Al Nassr management must immediately take quick action. In my opinion, if Al Nassr's back line is strong, I'm sure Al Nassr will have almost the same strength as Al Hilal and Al Nassr can fight this season to win the title even though the point difference is quite large with Al Hilal. At least Al Nassr remains consistent in winning in various the match until Al Hilal slipped to and get closer to Al Hilal.
So far, Al Hilal has not experienced a defeat, but I am sure that as time goes by, Al Hilal will definitely experience its first defeat. I think it is impossible for a club to win consistently because there are still many matches in the SPL this season.

I guess they have invested so much in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo, that they are actually having trouble bringing in defenders right now. But I think they have enough money and they can actually bring in defenders if they want.

That's why I think this next transfer market is going to be very important for them. They will have to bring in better defenders and also make the team overall decent. So that even if the attackers are having a bad day, they can still count on the defenders to do the job. Even though they have a good attacking lineup led by Cristiano Ronaldo, they cannot expect the attackers to perform every day.

Manchester United have just suffered defeat in the league when facing Bournemouth and the good news is the condition of Bayern Munich is also not good when they travel to Old Trafford because it has just been slaughtered by Frankfurt in a shame, so the morals of the players of the two teams are not in good condition, but Manchester United is more benefited because Play in the cage itself.

Manchester United really benefited in this match. But Munich really came without any burden. United have a lot of pressure because they must win this match while Bayern only need to play for the sixth match in the group stage. They have 100% qualified for the next round as first place. So I think Bayern will benefit more because they can play without any pressure.
We just need to ignore Manchester United's chances of qualifying from the group phase, because being able to win against Bayern Munich is still not enough to get them to be ranked second in Group A, their fate is still determined by the results of other matches, so we assume they have failed in the Champions League and the most realistic target for Manchester United is to win the match to qualify for the European League play-off round because the Galasataray vs Copenhagen match has a high chance of ending with one of the teams winning the match instead of a draw, and also with a heavy defeat against Bournemouth it might be the mentality of Manchester United's players was even worse because of another defeat at Old Trafford and from a team that could be said to be below them in quality.
Since the draw against Galatasaray at that time, I have lost confidence that it will be very difficult for MU to qualify for the next round because Bayern Munich not a club that can be taken lightly and also Bayern Munich will not let MU beat them because Munich current goal is to be undefeated and MU hopes of a draw are very slim.
There no chance for the club coached by Erik Ten Hag except to hope that they can improve their performance to get the best position in  Premier League, but there they are still inconsistent and sometimes perform very badly.
I'm just imagining that if there is a surprise that MU can beat Bayern Munich, wouldn't it be MU luck this season to be able to continue the match in the European league and I'm just imagining this.

@Strongkored I also think that is going to be a wise idea. Because in the chances of Manchester United qualifying for the next stage are almost zero. A team cannot expect so much luck to be in their favor. Especially when they are so inconsistent. And the situation in the team is also not good. Players are feeling bad in the team. The decisions that are being taken by the coach are also not very good. The situation in the team is a mess right now. Just so people can relate, Harry Maguire is the best player right now at Manchester United. So imagine what the performance is from other players right now.

Roma will not have their best players for the match with Bologna as Lukaku, Zalewski will be off, Dybala will be missing because he was injured in the match against Fiorentina. Bologna and AS Roma have same total points and their coming match will decide what team will take the fourth position. If they end it with a draw, Napoli will have their chance to take a fourth position from Roma.
Without two best attacking players, Mourinho will let Roma starting that match very defensive and wait for mistakes from Bologna to counter attack and find three points. The key for Roma is their midfield and defense system must protect Patricio good enough before they can exploit Bologna system.
Roma so far have been very impressive with Mourinho as their coach, they've really tried in getting to the 4th position on the standings, about yesterday they had a 1-1 home draw against Fiorentina and  the result of the match would've been better if not for the Red card booking sustained by one of their player Zalewski, Roma was already leading with a 1-0 in the 5th minute of the game and it was Lukaku who scored the opener goal for them.
 However they allowed Fiorentina to dominate the game more and even pressed them to the point that Zalewski was committed and booked with a red card and it was some minutes after the booking that Fiorentina scored an equalizer goal, well I applaud Roma for holding their ground and defending it with one man down, they were supposed to get the 3 points since they had more advantage but atleast they didn't lose and secured a point which helped keep them in the top 4 currently.
Of course the red card had a big impact on Roma's game. But still Fiorentina is a difficult opponent for any club. Roma's mistake was a classic tactic, when they scored a goal, they did not look for an opportunity to score a second goal, but started defence. After that Fiorentina as an attacking team started to play their football. The result of the draw suited them.

It is difficult for any team to beat Fiorentina. This team is strong enough. However, Roma performed well in this match. Mourinho's match strategy saved the team from losing this match. Because after receiving the red card, Roma's defense naturally became weaker. It was very difficult to resist the attack of a team like Fiorentina with 10 players. Roma then held off Fiorentina with nine men after Lukaku was red-carded in the 87th minute. I would say Roma are lucky to secure 1 point from this match. Roma were more likely to lose this match after receiving two red cards. Because Fiorentina's attack was strong enough.

It is Ten Hag's job to overcome these problems, and if there are still no significant changes, I think Man United will have to look for a replacement for him.
If Manchester united can try to replace Ten Hag this season, then they are getting everything wrong, their performance will end up getting worse, at least they are able to win some weak teams even as we all know they are struggling before they will win, but if they can change their coach, and sure they will be losing almost all their matches before the ending of the season, which they will end the season in a worst position. We all know the players are also suppose to be blamed, if the players are not really really to perform well, even after getting a new coach, i don't think their will be changes in Manchester united performance.

I'd say it's time to fire Ten Hag. Manchester United's performance may be somewhat erratic if Ten Hag is sacked and a new coach is appointed. However, Manchester United's performance is not stable at the moment. They are not doing well against weaker teams either. Even Manchester United lost points against every renowned team in the Premier League.

When a new coach takes over, it takes time to get to know the players and apply new match tactics. Now if Manchester United hire a new coach then maybe next season they will get better performance than Manchester United. But if they hire a new coach next season, Manchester United's performance is likely to be erratic at the beginning of the next season as well.

I really do not know if Real Madrid is actually going to make Jude Bellingham the striker that they need. Because after all, he is a midfielder. But we have seen a lot of players change their playing positions throughout history. Hard to say if it is going to work for Jude Bellingham or not. I still think that it is going to be a safe option to bring in a striker instead of playing Jude Bellingham as the striker. Honestly, I don't know if Mbappe is still the priority for Real Madrid. But even then they should look for other strikers.
Bringing a new striker will be helpful for Real Madrid instead of converting Jude Bellingham to be a striker. Bellingham is good at the midfield, and he should be an advantage for Madrid to have him as he can also score goals. This will help them to win all their matches and to also score more goals in any match that they are playing. Another point is that it will make the players unpredictable by their opponents when they are on the pitch on who to give a close mark on, since Bellingham can come from behind to net the post.

Mbappe coming to Real Madrid gas been a dream and a long-time expectation which nobody knows if this will be possible or not because PSG wants to make profit from the club that is ready to buy him. I just hope that his coming to Real Madrid will be possible for him because this is where his talent will be well appreciated, and he will be able to win so many trophied.

In my opinion, Real Madrid should give up on pursuing Mbappe. Because they have tried for a long time to do that. But the player actually wanted money. That's why he ended up staying in PSG. Like using Real Madrid's interest in him to extract money from PSG. That was definitely not a very good decision by him. Real Madrid should understand that and act accordingly.


-snip
I think changing Bellingham's role who is already established in his position is wasting gamble, because he is already world class as a midfielder. Changing his position is like wanting him to start from zero again. It involves not only adapting to a different style of play but also taking on the goal-scoring responsibilities which needs to install new instinct. Opting for a more traditional striker aligns with the conventional approach which is the best solution.

As for Kylian Mbappe, the uncertainty surrounding his priority for Real Madrid adds an additional complexity to their transfer considerations. Exploring alternative options of striker choices would indeed be a prudent strategy, ensuring they have multiple avenues to strengthen their attacking prowess. In the dynamic world of football transfers, priorities can shift, and clubs often explore various possibilities to enhance their squad.

Mbappe is uncertain about his own future. What if he comes to Real Madrid and after a few days he says that he does not like it in the squad? What if after a few days, he says that he wants more money to play for Real Madrid? And the way he has gone about his career, I don't think that is entirely impossible, to be honest. Of course there is no doubt about the capability of him as a player. But the other aspects of him are very questionable.

The acknowledgment that even big clubs can indeed face challenges in maintaining consistency towards the end of the season. Indeed, in a competitive league, every point matters, and securing a strong position early on can be crucial, especially considering the challenges of maintaining consistency throughout the entire season. Football is known for unpredictability of technical and non-technical aspects, like injuries and suspensions, and the dynamics of a league can change rapidly.

The increasing pressure comes along the season running through the ending phase. It makes those things essential for teams like Juventus to be vigilant and strategic in their approach. In football, there are no guarantees, and the league standings can shift quickly. Staying focused, avoiding complacency, and accumulating points steadily are key components of a successful campaign. If Juventus want to navigates the challenges of the season, every game becomes an opportunity to secure points and builds a foundation for a strong finish.

The thing is, for Juventus, especially the kind of problems that they face. Face often, it is hard for them to stay consistent throughout the whole season. Because sometimes even if they are consistent, a problem which they never thought of arrives and they have to deal with it.

Of course, I hope that they do not face themselves in any kind of problems like that. But that has been the story for them in recent seasons. Right now Juventus is in a good position. And hopefully, they will be able to continue performing well. But it is definitely going to be hard towards the next part of the season.

Yea we also need to consider that Inter will have almost all the big games at home in the second half of the season while Juventus will have, INTER, Napoli, Lazio, Roma away.

As we know home or away games are a big thing in football.
In the second half of the season, Juventus will actually be in a more difficult position. Because now they might win because they are playing as the host. But in the second half of the season, Juventus will have to face these strong teams again at their respective headquarters. Away games are usually more difficult than home games. And that's when Juventus will really be tested. Currently, Juventus actually does not have as good a squad depth as Inter Milan and Napoli. But Allegri is the one who always manages to make the Juventus squad perform optimally despite all its limitations.
Yes, I agree with you that the real challenge has not yet been discovered Juventus, but we have to be optimistic if Juventus able to overcome this challenge because the coming months Juventus will definitely look for new players to get good players who have reliable quality talent to be able to compete strongly with the club. big as you mentioned and currently it is rumored that Juventus will get several talented players and this means that Juventus is serious about winning the Scudetto.
But personally I don't want Juventus to take over Inter Milan position because I want to see Inter get title again in Serie A and hopefully my wish comes true.

I also agree with you guys. That's why I think Juventus should somehow look to get as many points as they can from the early stages. In this season it is definitely going to be very hard for them to continue performing consistently towards the end of the season.

We all know that even a lot of being clubs can actually fail to perform consistently toward the end. We have seen that from a few clubs already. So I will say that Juventus should be careful. And they will also have to remember that the competition is increasing day by day in this league. There is no safe position until and unless you are the winner.

Indeed, Real Madrid really needs a good striker. Since Benzema's departure, it is clear that Real Madrid needs a new striker, especially since Real Madrid's front line is currently not very productive in terms of scoring goals. In fact, Madrid only relies on Jude Bellingham to score goals even though he is an attacking midfielder, not a striker. Of course, if Madrid can recruit Mbappe, then Madrid's goal productivity will increase much more, especially as there is no doubt that Mbappe is one of the best players in the world today.

Mbappe may still be Madrid's priority for next season. It looks like it's all waiting for Mbappe's contract to finish with PSG and it would be Madrid's advantage if they could get Mbappe. but if there hasn't been any discussion regarding Mbappe and Madrid. It would be better for them to make other plans for the list of strikers who will enter the transfer market later.
However, Madrid, which encouraged Jude Bellingham to play more forward, was also successful. he is now La Liga's current top scorer. that's an extraordinary achievement even though he's not a striker.
Yes, that's right, Mbappe is still a target for Real Madrid next season, after his contract at PSG expires. However, the news is still very confusing and there is no certainty from Madrid management. So let's just wait for the good news next season and research from several media about this news. In my opinion, if this news really happens it will be a big advantage for Madrid, but not only that, it will definitely provide quite good attack power on the front lines, but all of this requires time for Mbappe to adapt to his new team. That way, I am sure that the skills you have will be very good for teamwork.

I really do not know if Real Madrid is actually going to make Jude Bellingham the striker that they need. Because after all, he is a midfielder. But we have seen a lot of players change their playing positions throughout history. Hard to say if it is going to work for Jude Bellingham or not. I still think that it is going to be a safe option to bring in a striker instead of playing Jude Bellingham as the striker. Honestly, I don't know if Mbappe is still the priority for Real Madrid. But even then they should look for other strikers.

Randal Kolo Muani scored the 2-1 and they won, but he is not yet the player he should be. If you look at his 10 games in Ligue 1 this season and his 4 goals, thats not enough for a 100 million euro transfer. He hasnt been on the field for full 90 minutes every game, so the stats are okay, but I would expect more from him if he cost that much money. You cant compare him to Harry Kane, but Harry has scored 18 goals in 13 games, that are many levels of difference. But when Paris are on first place in the league and wins the championship, Kolo Muani will get more time to score more goals, thats what has to happen when Mbappe leaves.
You're right, I agree with you that he's not yet the player he should be, Kolo Muani at Frankfurt was like a goal machine, which prompted PSG to sign him as one of the replacement for their departed stars, however he's yet to deliver what they signed him for, a player that was bought for such a hefty figure should be able to score up to 20 or more goals in a season and I'm not quite sure he'll get up to that amount.

 Well I won't conclude yet, cause the season is still far and like you said, he'll get more time to score more goals, maybe this goal he score would boost his confidence level to score more in their upcoming matches, anyways i won't compare Kolo Muani to Harry Kane cause Kane is a more better and proven attacker, and he's worth the 100m Bayern Munich splashed on him.

PSG was able to win but it was definitely a little too close for comfort. I think it is not a crime to expect better performance from PSG. And about the player, I also agree that his performance should definitely be a lot better compared to what he is doing right now. And yes, value for money is something we cannot say about him. He should be doing a lot better. But yes there is still time. And probably he will get better with time. Maybe it is just something about him being able to get set with the team.

Manchester united 0-1 Bournemouth20 minutes

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Manchester United lose today against Bournemouth. This season, if the Manchester United team is now in the fifth place in the table, but the overall performance of this team is still quite weak. I have never seen that the Manchester United team dominate and win.

Manchester United conceded a goal only 5 minutes after the start of the match. Bournemouth now lead 1-0. And after scoring the goal, the team is now playing poorly defensively. In 20 minutes, Manchester United made a total of 6 shots and had 76% of the ball possession. However, they are unable to break down Bournemouth's defence. I think this match will be a draw.

Bournemouth created a quick goal made by Bournemouth players which resulted in taking the lead in the first half, although there was still a long time to go if Bournemouth was able to maintain its lead then the 3 points would be perfectly secured.

Manchester United continues to perform poorly and it is even difficult for Manchester United to perform consistently in every match they play, it is like wasting points in my opinion, it seems that the mismatch in the scheme implemented by Erik ten Hag is not being absorbed by the Manchester United players, so no It's surprising that Manchester United can concede so easily in the early minutes, Manchester United's lack of defensive power this season and the addition of Onana's frequent mistakes makes Erik ten Hag's frustration to improve in every line, that's why Manchester United can buy a good defender. strong and able to withstand opponents' attacks and there must be a major overhaul in the Manchester United camp, otherwise Manchester United will have difficulties this season.

I was very surprised by the result of this match. I watched the first half, but I didn't see their performance in the second half. Bournemouth won the match 3-0. Manchester United lost their home match against a weak team like Bournemouth by a huge margin of 3-0.

Time to fire the Ten Hag is approaching. Bournemouth were 15th in the points table. It's a shame to lose 3-0 against a team like that. Manchester United's match strategy is very weak. Although they attacked a lot in today's match, they could not score a single goal. ten Hag should change this bad match strategy. Manchester United's performance is unlikely to improve if this match strategy does not change.
