Against Dortmund this is a result that I definitely did not expect. We have always known that Dortmund has not been a very good competitor for Bayern Munich, especially in recent times. But in this match, it looked like Bayern Munich was unable to do much. Dortmund actually missed a few chances as well. Harry Kane did miss an easy chance. But I think Bayern Munich is just falling off. And a change of coach is very essential for them. They have to do it immediately. I don't think anybody expected them to lose against Dortmund.
This is a dilemma in my opinion, I mean they were in a hurry to fire their previous coach so they feel this way this season and even if they change coaches again, is there a guarantee that they will be even better? I don't think there is any guarantee that when they replace their current coaches they will be much better.
Moreover, overall they did not experience a very significant decline. We see that they have experienced a very significant decline when we compare them with Leverkusen who have performed exceptionally this season. In fact, if we compare it with the previous season, Bayern Munich can still be said to be within normal limits or a normal decline for a team. However, when we have a high benchmark by placing Leverkusen as a benchmark for a team's performance, then we will see a significant difference, which is why we see Bayern Munich experiencing a very deep decline.
The question remains whether management will keep Tuchel or get rid of him at the end of this season.

Today, they see Arsenal as such a favorite that the betting companies didn't even give odds on their win. Even the fact that Luton Town was in the relegation zone and urgently needed to gain points wasn't enough to give them a chance. Arsenal couldn't score many goals in the last matches, but they played against very strong opponents. This time, we may see a scenario like one of the old high-scoring matches against a weak opponent again. I expect a different Arsenal victory and they will be at the top even if they have one more matches again.
After seeing the balance against Man City, there will be a strong reason for Arsenal to take advantage of the bottom team to get 3 points. Luton Town will definitely be an event that gives Arsenal an opportunity because if they win, a shift at the top of the standings will happen again. Liverpool and Man City must again be required to work harder. It's very interesting with the narrow difference between these 3 clubs because the battle for the top of the standings will get hotter. It's increasingly difficult for me to predict who will really be able to be consistent, the point is that these 3 teams who succeed in winning the trophy will both make new history. For example, if Liverpool win the EPL trophy this season then they will equal Man United record of 20 trophies. If Arsenal win the trophy then they will make history again after 20 years without an EPL trophy. And if Man City successfully defends the trophy, they will become a club that will make history as a club that has won 4 times in a row in the EPL.

Can't really say if girona will able to repeat the same result as the first leg. Girona is still strong enough but it's not as good as when it was at the early season. There are many things happen in the game and girona was totally aware if atletico madrid is just getting better here.
It will be so damn good for bilbao if girona will able to make atletico madrid to suffer another lose like the first leg. The competition to get into the top 4 is kinda hard for bilbao and atlegico madrid. I saw both of clubs are the same strong at this moment.

Girona's performance now is not as good as at the start of the season and it must be admitted that Girona's performance has decreased slightly and this is inversely comparable to Atletico Madrid.
I think Atletico Madrid is a team that has a strong mentality, now they are pressed to win the match in order to finish in the top 4 and I don't doubt that.
This is not to underestimate Girona, but it is realistic that Girona's overall strength is not better than Atletico Madrid.
In this match, Atletico Madrid also really needs 3 points, because it is still not safe if you look at the difference with Bilbao. Therefore there is only one opportunity to widen the distance by conquering Girona. Armed with the mentality of the Atletico Madrid players hoping to give Girona a serious threat, Michel troops could already run out of fuel towards the end of the season. Even though they cannot catch Girona position, at least rank 4 must be maintained until the end of the season. So far Atletico Madrid is having a good season in the UCL. They also have the task of beating Dortmund in Leg 1, the schedule is not too big because after that they will play Girona to solidify their position in La Liga.

It's completely true that the percentage of people who consistently win in gambling is very small. This to tell two things. First is that, there are very few people who actually understand how gambling really works, and that is why the rate of losses is relatively greater than that of winnings. And secondly, this is to tell us that regardless of the fact that gambling is pretty difficult, those who have actually mastered the act of gambling are constantly winning and benefiting from gambling. This is mostly where most inexperienced gamblers draw their inspection from and go in and put their finances at risk because of their inexperience.
It's true, because it's clear that the percentage of losses compared to wins is a greater percentage of losses for gamblers, but for the host they have a large percentage of wins and that can't be changed, so it's not surprising that many gamblers experience defeat or lose money by doing so.  Because gambling is something that will definitely happen, it has become a fixed rule that cannot be changed, with the house owner having a bigger advantage than ordinary players. However, even so, there are still many gamblers who don't care about this, they only gamble and only think about winning, so they don't think about the many losses that occur.
That makes sense, maybe it's because of their lack of experience that they can easily get attracted to gambling so they get trapped in a detrimental cycle such as being addicted to gambling and then losing more money They should be aware of the percentage of the house that has a bigger advantage,  maybe if they are aware of this they will not gamble excessively.

In fact, it is not a problem to take risky actions because there are those who say that if we want to get satisfying results, we have to be brave enough to take risks. but we have to be able to see first what we are doing, if it is certain that it will end in disappointment then it is best not to take risky actions. including gambling, because gambling is likely to result in a disappointing defeat. and we have to be able to accept that, don't let the losses that occur through gambling become a thought because that will trigger emotions that can make us lose control of ourselves by gambling.
when the gambling they do is excessive then it is clear that there is a possibility that they will do something that is indeed a big risk as you said, namely selling the property they own because they still want to gamble but have run out of capital so they sell the property they own and use the money to gambling again, in my opinion it is an act that has gone too far.
Yes, it's true, if we want to get satisfactory results we have to be brave enough to take such a high risk, but we should first look and think about whether we are really ready to feel and accept it happily or on the contrary, we will feel regretful.
It's a good idea for us to look for a safe way if we don't want to take this high risk, namely by gambling fairly and accepting any results we get later. This way we should not gamble excessively.
It depends on what you do, because with gambling I don't think it's ethical for us to do things like take risks, because the thing that is certain to happen is losing or losing the money that is at stake. occurs when they carry out actions that carry great risk. and I think when they did that maybe they were at the point of despair so they dared to do things they shouldn't have done.
I agree with you, indeed we should probably be able to happily accept the results that occur from the actions we choose which are very risky, because if we cannot accept the reality happily then what will happen may only be an even bigger loss of money and In the end it only makes us annoyed and regretful. That's right, if you're not ready for what will happen then it's better to look elsewhere, don't invite trouble to come. We must be able to adjust our mentality to the actions we take.

You got a good point there. Gambling addicts are afraid to face their families because they might get rejected or kicked out of the family. I understand, it sure can happen.
There are others who will just keep it a secret so that they won't be judged.
I guess I will do it too if I am in that position because I fear what they will say to me after being honest about what is happening to me, especially because it's a bad thing in our tradition so I doubt I will get help.
I mean, if you know your family or how they react, or if you have seen what they did when someone had been honest to them, then it can become a traumatizing experience and so other family members would just keep it to themselves. So I guess it will still depend on the situation, if a family has a good openness then I bet it will be easier to tell everything.
things might happen when their family feels annoyed with what the addict is doing, but I don't think all families are like that, maybe there are families who have strong concerns, so that when one of their family members experiences problems such as gambling addiction, maybe they still can accept it and they will help him to get out of his problem. Some people who keep their gambling activities a secret certainly have their own reasons why they keep it a secret, perhaps because they don't want their family to know about the gambling activities they do.
but if the gambling has caused a lot of problems, including big losses, maybe they need help if they are aware that the gambling they are doing is making them suffer, but in my opinion it is rare for gambling addicts to be aware of the gambling they are doing, even though it is making them suffer. suffer financially.

Atletico Madrid managed to shift Bilbao in 4th position and the results obtained when they visited Villareal headquarters were fruitful. The match was quite tough and many goal opportunities were wasted, especially Morata who often had to miss scoring opportunities. But still managed to bring 3 points and was very good at maintaining 4th position. In the 31st week, Simeone troops will face Girona, this could be an event for revenge because in the last match, Girona was able to beat Atletico Madrid. Girona condition is increasingly unstable as at the start of the season, so Simeone still has the potential to take advantage of the opportunity to add to his goal collection.

What are your predictions regarding Atletico Madrid next meeting? Does Girona still have the same strength or not?

Manchester United will definitely continue to strive to finish in the top 4 if mathematically they still have that possibility, even though the percentage is very small because Manchester United are already far behind and their performance is still often inconsistent.

What happened in the last match between the two teams in the continuation of the FA Cup match cannot be used as any reference because of course things are different now, Liverpool have much higher motivation to be able to win the match in order to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League standings.
With Man United performance like this, it is quite difficult to ensure they finish in the top 4, it all depends on the next match. If they continue to waste time and don't manage to get 3 points, Man United will be increasingly left behind by Tottenham and Aston Villa, both of whom are increasingly serious about fighting. There are still 9 matches remaining, 4 of which are quite tough opponents but even against clubs below it doesn't guarantee 3 points and that is Man United problem at the moment, inconsistency when opponents from teams below them that should be able to win well are the opposite. So if you want to secure UCL tickets again next season, Man United must win at least 6-7 matches.
This weekend against Chelsea which on paper is Chelsea below them. Both are experiencing bad seasons but Man United still has the advantage of players, while Chelsea has the advantage of playing at home. Against a top team Chelsea can adjust, and for Man United I wouldn't expect much from this match.

It is a fatal mistake if they consider gambling as a job, because there is no clear profit that can be obtained, only losses or loss of money that is clear and certain to occur. and it is very hypocritical if people gamble but their aim is not to win or make money, even though there are some gamblers who gamble with the motive of having fun but I think they also want to win, it's just that they can control themselves well so they have good motives. can cover its main purpose.
In reality, what makes them disappointed is losing or losing the money they bet on. It's a shame that they can't accept defeat which is certain to happen because their attitude like that will only make their emotions and feelings rise and maybe they will lose self-control and gamble more aggressively, such as risking all the money they have or selling some of their property. he has to gamble again with the aim of getting more money from the losses that have occurred.
No employment, just a bet. Smart deals have guarantees; gambling doesnt. No pay, healthcare, or retirement. You cant succeed in business by chance. Casinos strive to win, not donate. Hopes and dreams cant make you rich.

Even while some say its for the thrill, everyone wants to win big. Ambition is fine, just like in politics. However, planning and self-control matter. Those who gamble must know the odds, respect their limits, and quit when necessary. Management-understanding risk and the worth of your hard-earned money—is the actual difficulty, not beating the house.
Unfortunately, many people gamble with the hope that the gambling they do will give them a win that could change their lives drastically. like where they gamble with small capital and hope for a miracle to happen which can make them get a big win and then that win really helps them in many ways, especially helping them with their finances. Unfortunately, this hope actually puts them in problems, such as gambling addiction, which only drains their finances.
I agree with you, indeed in gambling self-control is very important to be able to avoid big losses, such as chasing losses or chasing wins, many gamblers gamble excessively so that it becomes a problem for themselves. The problem that occurs is because they don't have good self-control so they gamble excessively.

Life involves risk. It's what pumps blood, right? Risk isn't one-size-fits-all. Gambling? That's risky, like jumping out of a plane with a broken parachute. Ensure you understand the repercussions. Yes, it's about seeing the larger picture and knowing when a gamble will fail

But it's not about demonizing gambling. It's about that unchecked urge, that voice that keeps pushing when it should fold. Selling everything to win? This is self-destruction, not risk-taking. The problem isn't gambling, but a mindset that won't let go and change techniques
Gambling is indeed very risky, especially with the risk of defeat or loss in gambling, it is a risk that can no longer be avoided. This risk is certain to occur even if we gamble carefully and thoroughly. However, we can avoid the risk of big losses, such as chasing losses or chasing wins, which can actually make us lose more money. As long as we can control ourselves well then big losses can definitely be prevented, depending on what kind of gambling we do.
a mindset that doesn't want to give up is the same as making us lose everything, especially money. We have to be able to think about the bad impacts that will happen as you said, by selling everything to chase victory, that is not the way to get victory, but it is the way for us to lead to the destruction of life. people who have done that, in my opinion, may have believed too much in gambling which can provide a definite win, because there are gamblers who think that behind the many losses that occur, there is a win that can be obtained and reverse all the losses that have occurred, I myself not too sure about that.

There's a reason why a gambling addict don't tell tell families about their addiction, and a close friend should respect that. If you really wanted to help, better ask your friend's permission first before you tell it to anybody, especially their family.

The reason why they don't tell it to their love ones is that they are afraid of getting judge, instead of getting sympathy and help from them. Not all people have a very understanding families, mostly they've got toxic one that's why they do stuff that will get their families attention.

The only help they could get is from a friend who is willing to guide them in a different path that's going to cure their addiction.
Most likely they are afraid of being judged or scolded by family members who are older than them, but in my opinion this is normal, because it is impossible for a family to remain silent when one of its members does something that is not good or excessive. scolding may not mean hatred but rather why he could do such a dangerous thing that harms himself. but the family is sure that after scolding him they will definitely help him to get out of the problem he is experiencing, there is no way they will just leave him like that. unless the main perpetrator is really stubborn and cannot be directed.
It's true that not everyone has a caring family or has a good relationship with their family, there are people who have a bad relationship with their family, but even so, that doesn't mean we have to do things that are detrimental to ourselves, in fact I think when we don't have We must have a good relationship with our family to be able to prove that we can be successful without support from family, because I am sure that when we are successful, what was previously an indifferent family will definitely come, and after that it is up to each of us.

There are no changes in the top 3 standings, because all the teams that played this week both won. Paris Saint Germain won when they visited Marseille's headquarters, Brest also won when they visited Lorient's headquarters, and Monaco also won when they faced Metz.
The competition for 2nd place is still quite interesting, because Monaco is only 1 point behind Brest. LOSC is also trying to catch up in 4th place with a difference of 4 points from 2nd place and they will definitely try their best so that they can achieve something they want, at least they can be in the top 3 to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
However, LOSC, even though they are in 4th position, they can still be in the Champions League but they have to go through the qualifying round first and that is something that is a little disappointing for them even though they have a chance to be in the Champions League. With the remaining matches remaining, is it possible that there will be changes in the standings for 2nd and 3rd place?

Yesterday match did not show like two great teams that met, because in my opinion from the start of the match to the end we did not see any excitement that occurred between the two teams In the match, Manchester city and Arsenal looked quite careful in playing so we did not see any high intensity happening, as far as the match went on It was clear if Arsenal was more focused on defending by collecting almost 8 players in the penalty area their are and obviously if it does not show the hallmarks of Arsenal play so far.

I think the decline in the intensity of the game of both teams may not escape the injuries of some of their main players, and it was seen in the match that if De Bruyne, Saka, martinelli and also Akanji were not able to perform at their best, I think the draw actually made both teams very disadvantaged because then Liverpool can be quite relieved to be at the top of the table at this time,  For Arenal, their remaining games of the season are quite worrying because they still have to face big teams, Manchester City may benefit because no team has the potential to beat them In the Remaining games of the season, but still ManchesterCity should also be wary of surprises that may occur.
When both of them didn't want to concede, they ended up playing it safe and not making any mistakes. The game in the first half was still quite exciting because we both tried to break through the defense, then in the second half there was no change but Man City dominated the game by continuing to lock down Arsenal defense. David Raya worked hard in that match, and he also had defenders who were able to cover the movements of De Bruyne, Haaland and also Bernando Silva, several times he didn't find a gap. In the end, these various points were only a fair result for both teams, but for Liverpool it was a big advantage. Liverpool wish came true because after Man City and Arsenal shared points, it provided more opportunities in the future for Liverpool. Because against Sheffield United it is not a big obstacle to get the full 3 points, while Man City and Arsenal have to rotate their players in preparation for the Champions League.

I might not be hypocritical about that, everyone has different reasons that you can't categorize in the same way, we all know that perhaps the majority of gamblers really want to win and also get big money, so that's why many gambling addicts can't control themselves when they want to. achieve the results they want, but there are also some gamblers who really aren't for money, instead they spend money just to have fun, nothing more than that, but that's only done by rich people.

Poor people usually gamble to try their luck and make money in gambling so their goal from the start of gambling is to win and get money so it will be different from most rich people who gamble on average, they just want fun, I saw my friend gambling and he never had a problem with losing, he even spent hundreds of dollars gambling, for him it was the same as spending money playing golf with his business friends, so according to him, the money he lost gambling, he would consider it spent playing golf, not gambling. , after all, he said, it depends on how a person's mindset understands the pleasure of gambling
I think all gamblers definitely want to win, because winning at gambling is also a point of enjoyment. It's very hypocritical in my opinion if there are gamblers who don't want to win, because it's clear that the main goal of gambling is to win because that's one of the things that everyone wants because winning is money that everyone needs, but it's their fault that they're too ambitious in chasing that win. It's not certain that it causes them to experience their own problems.
with the many advertisements displayed and word of mouth about gambling which can provide victory, it is good news for poor people who have problems with their finances, but they do not see gambling fully, they only see the winning side without seeing the other side, namely the clearer defeat. what will happen to the gambling they do, it doesn't matter if they are rich or poor, but what will definitely happen is losing or losing the money they bet on gambling. but we should not worry about the losses that occur because in my opinion it has become a fixed rule that cannot be changed, with those who experience large losses or gamble excessively they may not be able to accept the reality of the losses that ended with the gambling they did.

Mmm, I think that's why some people think of gambling as a job.

They are there because they want the money. Some gamblers genuinely don't enjoy their time there. They only want to make the money and go.

The reality of course is different, and most actually end up losing money.

So, as I said, it's better to have some fun while at it at least.
It is a fatal mistake if they consider gambling as a job, because there is no clear profit that can be obtained, only losses or loss of money that is clear and certain to occur. and it is very hypocritical if people gamble but their aim is not to win or make money, even though there are some gamblers who gamble with the motive of having fun but I think they also want to win, it's just that they can control themselves well so they have good motives. can cover its main purpose.

That gaming is a shortcut to financial security? It's total bull****. A destructive trap. Gambling harms your family's health as well as your finances. Leadership is about being loyal and someone your family can count on, not about making quick money

Gambling is against the system, not a random guy. System is meant to take money. Sometimes you win and feel good. It's rigged, so the longer you play, the more you lose. Not only the money, but also the trust you breach, the stress you inflict on your relationship, and the disappointment your kids see in your eyes
thinking like that is wrong thinking, it is impossible for gambling to be a way to make money or to help with financial problems. There is no definite guarantee of victory that can be obtained by gambling, even though gambling is said to require skill to win, in my opinion it does not guarantee the same. all gambling the same has a greater chance of winning for the host, and for ordinary gamblers only has a small chance of winning.
Indeed, if gambling is done for a long time it is not good, because it can affect our feelings which may become messy or make us lose self-control which ultimately makes us lose a lot of money. and of course it can affect our relationship with our family, whether we have our own family or not is the same,  if gambling is done excessively then the family can become victims too. Don't let the gambling you do harm yourself and your family, it is very dangerous when gambling makes us stressed because when stress occurs, bigger problems will occur.

That's a case that has happened a lot, that's what I know. Many people experience problems in life because they gamble excessively or beyond their own limits, including the funds used for gambling that are not reasonable, such as risking all their savings or selling property they own to be able to make money by gambling. , that is a very silly thought, because gambling will not give you victory easily. As far as I know, winning at gambling is based on your own luck.
It is clear that self-control is important when gambling because of the many cases that have occurred due to the impact of bad gambling.  as you said, if gambling is done without self-control then they will only lose more money As much as possible, we must be able to control our emotions because that can help us to avoid losses that have occurred in many cases that have occurred.

It is true that cases like this often occur in the life of an addict. By pursuing victory, he dared to take big risks by betting without proper rules. An addict will spend all his money and sell his possessions to be able to gamble.
An addict has a weak conscience so he will do bad things that harm himself in the future by gambling with inappropriate money so that he will feel how stupid he is when it is all over and he has nothing left.
In fact, it is not a problem to take risky actions because there are those who say that if we want to get satisfying results, we have to be brave enough to take risks. but we have to be able to see first what we are doing, if it is certain that it will end in disappointment then it is best not to take risky actions. including gambling, because gambling is likely to result in a disappointing defeat. and we have to be able to accept that, don't let the losses that occur through gambling become a thought because that will trigger emotions that can make us lose control of ourselves by gambling.
when the gambling they do is excessive then it is clear that there is a possibility that they will do something that is indeed a big risk as you said, namely selling the property they own because they still want to gamble but have run out of capital so they sell the property they own and use the money to gambling again, in my opinion it is an act that has gone too far.

Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

Another aspect to remember is that gambling addiction is a complicated subject, and it is not always simple for the person suffering from it to identify that they have a problem. So, even if you tell your buddy about the issues you have, they may not be ready to hear them or acknowledge the situation. That may be very frustrating, and it's crucial to be patient and not take it individually if they're not ready to hear what you have to say. Even if your buddy admits they have a problem, it's still conceivable that they will relapse. Gambling addiction, like any other addiction, is typically accompanied by a lengthy and tough rehabilitation process.
Talking about curing an addict is always a complicated discussion, because the problem does not lie with us helping them, but the problem lies with the addict himself. Usually an addict will not accept the fact that they are an addict, because maybe they also know that when they are labeled as an addict it is something negative that is attached to them.
I think we are the ones who have to be patient with them, in taking an emotional approach to a psychological approach so that they can accept the fact that they are addicts. If they already accept that, I think it will be easier, because they will most likely listen to what we say to them in the form of advice. We can create so that they can encourage themselves to get out of the problems they face. If it's like that, it will be easier to achieve what you want. However, this cannot be done in a short time, it will take a long time to really achieve this.

Now that Tuchel has caved in and congratulated his opponent, Leverkusen can start celebrating. It's incredible that they've come this far without losing. Even though they fell behind in scores in many matches, their ability to turn the matches around showed their great play. They had a fantastic season and deserved the championship. I congratulate especially Xabi Alonso and all the players. They ended Bayern's dynasty in the German league. Finally!

Yeah, that achievement will be written in the Bundesliga history and the Bayer Leverkusen archives!
Xabi Alonso and his players will make something that is rarely done all these years but let's not forget for how long the team did not lose any game too Wink
It will be interesting to see whether Xabi Alonso will remain in charge next season or not and if Bayer Leverkusen could maintain this form for long time.
Their opponent in the next round are Union Berlin which should be feasible.
We are in a season where Bayer Munich's dominance can finally be broken this season, yes, Leverkusen can do that and they are even without losing this season. Besides they will set a record because they broke the dominance of one team in the Bundesliga which has reigned for more than a decade, they also have the opportunity to end the season without defeat, this is a very difficult record to achieve. However, they still have many obstacles to achieve it all.
This season Leverkusen has been extraordinary, in my opinion they have exceeded expectations, because I didn't expect them to be this strong this season. However, they managed to show something that they don't usually show. And it cannot be denied, one of the factors that enabled them to do this was because they had Xabi Alonso who could provide the best strategy with Leverkusen. The good news is that he will stay here for next season, clearly this is good news for Leverkusen because they will continue to be together.

Real Madrid managed to beat Atletico Bilbao with a score of 2-0. The 2 goals were created by Rodrygo in the 8th minute and also the 73rd minute which succeeded in bringing Real Madrid to 3 points from this match. Indeed, from the start, Real Madrid were the main favorites in this match and they were able to respond to the trust placed in them.
Actually there was nothing special in this match, because the match went as predicted. Atletico Bilbao were actually also able to put up resistance, but they couldn't penetrate the defense built by Real Madrid, so they couldn't score a single goal.
This result makes Real Madrid's position still the same as before, but this is a threat for Atletico Bilbao, because it is very likely that this defeat will make them lose 4th position in the standings. Atletico Madrid will be prepared to take that position as long as they can win when they face Villarreal in the next match. Atletico Madrid has a great opportunity to return to the top 4 in the standings.
