Indeed, it must be admitted that the tight guard that was carried out by the opposing defender to Haaland could open up space for his colleagues to score goals. But negative things will definitely come, such as scathing criticism from football fans because Haaland was unable to score goals in this difficult position.

I think even though Haaland is always guarded by opposing defenders, at least Haaland has to open up his own space so he can score goals later because he won't be relying on his partner in that position and over time Manchester City's strategy will begin to be read by his opponent. But even so, no matter how great Manchester City is, if they can't overcome this problem, one day they will be in trouble.

Dortmund's circulation will still be in the same situation even for the next few seasons. Admittedly, Dortmund is always surprising because they competed with Bayern Munich starting almost from the middle of the season, but in the end they were unable to close the season with the Bundesliga trophy.

On the other hand, the factor of players being sold by Dortmund will always be the reason for their failure to win the bundesliga title and it's no wonder they will continue to experience the same thing every season. I think that right now there is no team that can really stop Bayern Munich's domination, if there is one, only Dortmund, that is only a threat.

Edin Dzeko has officially joined Fenerbahce as a free agent. Inter's veteran striker still seems to have a desire to play in Europe and is not concerned with such a large salary for the Saudi league team. As we know Edin Dzeko was glimpsed by Al-Hilal, but it seems that Edin Dzeko doesn't really like the challenges there and prefers to go to the Turkish league. At the age of 37 years, this will definitely be Edin Dzeko's final challenge before finally retiring and I think through Fenerbahce he will still have the chance to play in the champions league next season.

That's right, I didn't even suspect that Napoli's star players like Osimhen and Kvaratkelia would still want to stay and at the moment the rumors that have been circulating are not making steps for key players to leave. Indeed Napoli must prove their consistency next season with their new coach and at least they must try one more time to prove that Napoli is still the best team for next season. Kim Min Jae is indeed the closest to leaving, but even if he leaves Napoli, surely the management will have prepared a replacement for him later.

Indeed, the news of Gundogan's departure to Barcelona was so sudden that Manchester City began to take swift steps to make an offer to Declan Rice. But before Gundogan left, Manchester City had already gotten Kovacic, who was likely to become his replacement. But if you talk about Pep Guardiola's thoughts, of course he will do everything as long as the options are open and therefore it seems that Manchester City is finally following Arsenal's steps to be able to get Declan Rice.

It's true that talks with the team's coach could be an added value and as far as I know Declan Rice is closer to Pep Guardiola. Well, it seems that this transfer is really tough for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta will once again have to let go of his previous catch if West Ham finally chooses Manchester city's offer.

Croatia has been endless in recent years and it has proven that they are very consistent compared to other strong countries in reaching the finals of the nation's league. However, even though there is a lot of talent available now, it will not last long and indeed Croatia must find the next successor so they can win trophies in the next competition. On the other hand, teams like Spain and Belgium are also in the current regeneration stage. It's just that Spain was able to top them first because it had a fairly long process since 2010 and if you look at the depth of the current Spanish squad it will certainly be a threat to other European teams in the nation's league.

In the last twenty years I don't know when the last time America hosted the world cup, but I am quite excited to be able to watch the world cup in this great country. Qatar as the host of the previous world cup was also not too bad and the event was held quite lively there, it's just that as a majority Muslim country there, of course there will be so many rules that must be obeyed in terms of visitors. America is a country of freedom and of course everyone would prefer to come here while enjoying holidays in popular places, so I think this will be one of the best world cup hosts in terms of infrastructure to tourist attractions.

The results for this season are not entirely bad for Milan even though in the end they finished in 4th place in the standings, but not infrequently they should have been able to get a better place if they did not experience inconsistency towards the end of the season. I think Pioli has done a good job and there is no doubt that Milan next season will try to achieve better results, especially to get closer to winning the Scudetto or any other competition.

I think that if Milan fail to win a trophy because of their unstable performance and there are also many other teams who have the same fate as Milan, so it's no wonder they will still experience the same result if there is no change in the team. The addition of new players must also be carried out by Milan because it will be a source of strength to be able to win the title.

I read this rumor yesterday and it seems true that Xabi Alonso will be the next coach's choice if Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid next year. Maybe Zidane won't return to Real Madrid if it's not really needed and I think Real Madrid chose Xabi Alonso because he has a more modern style of play, maybe that was one of Real Madrid's judgments about signing him. Now Real Madrid will definitely not be confused anymore regarding Ancelotti's replacement and the rest of them will focus on all competitions next season first.

It was really unlucky for Arsenal to face after they were very sure that they would be closer to being able to get Declan Rice but their rivals last season, namely Manchester City, also did not want to lose to securing Declan Rice's services. Arsenal previously experienced the same thing last winter when they wanted to bring in Mudryk and were one step away from getting it, but that's where Chelsea moved in with a fantastic offer that made Mudryk finally choose Chelsea over Arsenal.

I can't understand why Arsenal's plans have to be tripped up by other teams if Declan Rice later transfers to Manchester City. However, the competition for Declan Rice has only just begun and now it remains only for the player to decide which club to play for next season.

It is quite unexpected that the rumors that have been circulating since last month have finally come to fruition and it seems that barcelona are very lucky that they did not pay a transfer fee for a great midfielder like Ilkay Gundogan. I think this will be a renaissance for Barcelona in European competition, especially the Champions League, which has failed in several seasons.

The experience of the treble winner recently won by Gundogan will certainly be very meaningful for the Blaugrana's football development. I can't wait to see his debut with Barcelona next season and maybe first he will try to bring Barcelona to defend the previous La Liga title.

I know about that and maybe don't expect more because whether it's official matches or not I think Germany is the worst team at the moment. Maybe if you don't agree, that's your choice, but apart from this it's just a friendly match, Germany shouldn't have lost after a series of bad matches in official matches that have continued until now.

So yes even if Germany uses a main player or layers thereof it doesn't change the fact that they are the biggest team in the world and shouldn't lose to a team that is weaker than them. So I think that's it from my point of view and I also don't bet on matches like this, but if the original goal is just to have fun betting on friendly matches then that's fine for me. Anyway, don't be too serious about this.

But the thing is Mbappe has stated that he will not renew his contract after next year and that has PSG starting to panic now. We cannot control the will of players who don't want to agree with the club's wishes and players like Mbappe should start being freed from the responsibility of the Paris capital team.

Moreover, he has never won a champion's league title, of course he will come to a club that has that goal and will not stay at PSG. We know Mbappe's goal is to one day become the best player in the world and if he was still with PSG that goal would never be achieved.

Napoli deserved to be the best team in Serie A last season because they were at the top of the table without any competitors who could interfere with them to win the Scudetto. On the other hand, this is the fruit of the hard work of all parties involved and also the genius of coach Spalleti who managed to bring in several high-quality players to be able to lead Napoli to become Serie A champions after more than 30 years.

Perhaps the hope for everyone, especially the fans, is that Napoli will remain consistent for next season and with the new coach it is also hoped that they will provide their best strategy to defend the title, although there is little doubt they will be able to defend it or not.

No one was surprised by the statement and in fact Dortmund openly do their business every transfer window comes around. Maybe what makes me a little confused is whether these Dortmund fans have never protested against the club owner's policy of always selling their star players when they are a little closer to winning the Bundesliga title if these players can last longer at Signal Iduna Park. We know very well that so far Dortmund has been very smooth in doing its business and has always generated hundreds of millions of euros every season.

It must be admitted that Mbappe is a star player and very talented who has never tasted a champion's league title. Maybe his desire began to be provoked after knowing that Haaland had won the trophy with Manchester City. We know Real Madrid will never get tired of making sure Mbappe wants to join the Santiago Bernabeu and if you see the opportunity now it is certainly very wide open for Mbappe because he will fully get regular minutes after Benzema's departure. Now we can only wait for this realization to work out next year which will also be Mbappe's last season with PSG and after that maybe we will see Mbappe excited to come to Real Madrid to be able to win the champions league title.

Chelsea seems to be sorting all their players and they don't hesitate to sell their players to the Saudi league team at a relatively low cost. In this transfer only Hakim Ziyech will join Al-Nassr, while Koulibaly to Al-Hilal, then Kante to Al-Ittihadm, and Mendy to Al-Ahli.

So we can see that all these Chelsea players will be spread to various teams in the Saudi league and of course when they compete they will celebrate the joys and sorrows of defending Chelsea. It is not surprising that in the end the Saudi league will be more attractive than Ligue 1 and it is possible that the position of Ligue 1 will be replaced by the SPL in a few years if the arrival of star players continues.

It's no wonder why Mohamed Salah's role is so important for Liverpool and I totally agree with what you said that since the arrival of Mohamed Salah to Anfield everything has changed slowly from raising the team's performance to winning various trophies. We cannot forget these great seasons, especially when with two other players, namely Firmino and Mane, Liverpool had scared all of Europe's strong teams a few seasons ago.

The squad depth that Jurgen Kloop has is indeed not arbitrary and he managed to juggle Liverpool to win the EPL title for the first time in the 19/20 season. Indeed, so far this season Liverpool have not changed much because they are experiencing a decline in performance and perhaps Mane's previous departure could not strengthen Liverpool's attack line as usual. But indeed the role of Mohamed Salah has again become a determinant of Liverpool's return to a better position. I think most Liverpool players are over 30 and soon maybe they have to regenerate before it's too late.

I think Arsenal have done a great job of signing Kai Havertz and for a fee of £65m it doesn't seem like such a big deal for a talent who failed to thrive at his previous club. We know that with Chelsea, Havertz seemed confused about adapting to his coach's style of play and he was often used as a striker, even though his original position was AMF.

Maybe Arteta does have other views on maximizing the talents possessed by Havertz, that's why Arsenal really want to get him. Now a new challenge with a new team will start in the EPL next season for Kai Havertz, of course he doesn't want to experience the same season as last season.

Admittedly, this time Portugal felt very confused about breaking into Iceland's goal and they were only able to do it in the final minutes. But Iceland also appeared confident and they were quite sure that this defensive strategy could at least make Portugal feel frustrated to be able to score goals against them.

On the other hand, it's no wonder that the game was so hot this time because so many yellow cards have been issued by the referee and it also proves that Iceland often commits fouls to Portuguese players to stop attacks. But losing one player can change everything that has been built and that is what Iceland is experiencing. I think without any doubt Portugal will qualify for the next round by winning Group J later.
