Tchouameni is able to play as a defensive midfielder as well indeed. But for now I will be expecting him to play in the central midfielder position mostly. I know that there is Luka Modric there but he is getting very old now. Real Madrid would think of replacing him with a young player at some point. Tchouameni and Camavinga have been brought for this especially. Real Madrid should continue to make the team younger as long as they find quality players.
We admit that Tchouameni is a good player so he can attract big teams, but as we all know Kross and Modric have been the driving force behind Madrid game and do you think Tchouameni will be able to take on that role at his age now? With a fairly expensive price of course he has a big responsibility to meet the expectations of madrid and fans, so I hope he will not be burdened in his game later and be able to show that his quality is worthy of a high price. It is the truth that his responsibility is going to be way bigger than he had at Monaco. However I believe in him to handle this job. He is a promising quality player now as far as I can understand and he should be knowing how to deal with a big pressure too. Maybe he would have a little adaptation problem but I don't expect it to take a very long time. Modric will retire or leave Real Madrid at some point and it will be the golden opportunity for Tchouameni to be a permanent reliable midfielder of the team. |

Romelu Lukaku has had a very visible problem with Chelsea so far. It was all over the news some time ago too and if I'm not mistaken Tuchel said something about this situation too. Lukaku really looks like he wants to leave soon and join Inter side. He was happy there too so it would be for the benefit of him to return. Inter also seem willing to have him back now. Chelsea just don't want this deal to be permanently as they prefer a loan move. It would still be okay for Inter I presume.

Horrible day for Ferrari... Red Bull had the same engine problems at the beginning of the season but they figured it out later on. It looks like it is time for Ferrari to struggle with these problems. And the longer time they take to solve, the worse for them. Because Red Bull drivers continue to get very important points and this causes the gap between them to be opened very highly. Leclerc is doing his best to become the champion this season but the car is not letting him do so for now.

Milan also have joined the race to sign Gabriel Jesus now. Their interest level has increased quite much recently but they might be the most disadvantageous team in this race also. Because it would be a completely different league and country for him to go. He has been very accustomed to the Premier League and he may want to stay because of that. But then he would miss the chance of playing in the Champions League most probably. Because Arsenal are the closest team to sign him in this league.
It's natural that AC Milan wants to compete for Gabriel Jesus, because next season AC Milan need a new striker to replace Ibrahimovic who is 40 years old, and also Ibrahimovic suffered an injury that required him to rest until next year. After all AC Milan just got the money to buy players for 100 million euros after the acquisition by the RedBird Group was successful. So AC Milan is confident enough to compete with other big European teams who also want Gabriel Jesus. It's interesting to know where Gabriel Jesus will end up choosing, if AC Milan manages to get Gabriel Jesus this is a very good purchase, because Gabriel Jesus can strengthen AC Milan's front line. Of course it is natural. They need to be better at scoring considering the Champions League in the first place as I indicated before. However I don't know if their chance of signing him is too high now too. Because the number of interested teams in Gabriel Jesus gets bigger and bigger these days. I'm thinking like the English Premier League teams would have a bigger advantage to sign him if he decides not to leave England. He will need to make an important decision for his career as he is still a very young striker. |

It was a really bad day for Portugal indeed. Switzerland weren't a very challenging opponent for them normally but they managed to surprise Portugal a lot by this 1-0 victory. The winning goal came in the 2nd minute already and I'm still surprised how Portugal weren't able to answer in the whole game. Ronaldo's absence also affected them badly surely but they still had very good players in the team though. Spain didn't experience a similar result against Czech Republic at least and it was an easy win by 2-0.

Normally Messi-Mbappe-Neymar trio must perform really great but they haven't met the demands of the supporters surely. Mbappe himself is awesome but the other two weren't that much last season. I didn't even see Neymar playing properly last season. He must play more than this to contribute more to the team. Messi's contribution level was also not too high but I hope he will perform better next time. This is very crucial for the Champions League especially.

It wasn't the best day in the Nations League so far I'm afraid. The England - Italy game was a very poor one. England should have won this game after playing decently but they wasted another chance. They don't seem very serious in this tournament now. Germany also couldn't defeat Hungary but it hasn't been easy to do this against them in away games as well. Hungary play well in their home games.

Unfortunately I don't see nearly any player whose place is guaranteed now at Barcelona. They are in a big need of money and they can lose an important player while having that much money. Frenkie de Jong is the player for that for now. I hope to see Barcelona stronger than this in the future. A team like them shouldn't have big issues like this normally. But if they maintain a successful run in tournaments, they can make a lot of money and heal faster.

Chelsea can really have some difficulties in next season but they aren't difficulties that they can't leave behind. They need to focus completely on filling the places that are becoming empty by the departure of those players. Rudiger's place comes first in this list surely now..
No need to worry, the transfer window just opened and in the next couple of weeks, you should be hearing about our new signings. We already have our eyes on couple of defenders such as Jules Kounde, Presnel Kimpembe, Matthijs De Ligt etc. We should be able to get one or two and I'm very positive about we signing Kounde. Liverpool also have their crisis as they'll be losing Mane. I think only Manchester city has their squad strengthen with the arrival of Haaland. Don't be too quick to write off Chelsea in the title race, don't forget we were among the conversation last season until the injuries came and destroyed all we built. Next season, we'll have Chilwell and James fully fit and if they can maintain fitness to end of season, our squad next season would be Impressive. To tell the truth, I wouldn't like to write them off for sure. It would be lovely to see Chelsea as well in this title competition. It is depending on their transfer activity and strengthening the needed positions in their lineup. Because I don't see any problem in Tuchel's strategies. They just need to prepare a solid squad for next season. Defender transfers will play an important role in this. To me, they will sign Kounde for sure because it is said that they are very close to reaching an agreement now. |

It feels great to have the old Bundesliga teams like Schalke and Werder Bremen back in this league again after some time. Schalke had a really bad experience in the Bundesliga in the near past and they would like to play much better now. Werder Bremen were a good middle-placed team in the past and they can do this once again. I wish we had Hamburg here too but they couldn't manage to beat Hertha Berlin on aggregate.

If we see a fierce competition for the second position in the league standings I think it would be between Dortmund and Leipzig this time. It is just a feeling like Leipzig would improve their performance a lot in that season. I don't want to overlook Leverkusen too as they did a very good job last season. But in some way I think that they won't be able to keep the same level. Maybe this time we will see Leipzig finishing right in front of Leverkusen. But first they will need to figure out the real issues in the team and fix them.

I absolutely agree with the opinions about Messi that his era has ended. Barcelona were really struggling already while he was playing there. I mean the last year he played for them for example. Messi was trying to take full responsibility for carrying the team but it wasn't helping them still. His performance was still great then though but he hasn't been like shining at PSG so far. He had serious problems on adapting to them in the first times but he is better these days. He is still not like the old Messi but it is normal as he is aging also.
I don't think Messi's era is over yet he can still play 2-3 more years but for his contribution to PSG, the quality of Lionel Messi is still not visible, but it's different from the Argentine national team where his contribution really gives positive results for the Tango Team, because we know that Messi is still under the shadow of Neymar and Mbappe so that it affects his performance at the club located in the city of Paris, perhaps his departure from Barcelona is inseparable from the financial crisis experienced by the Catalan club so that they can no longer afford to pay super expensive salaries.requested by Lionel Messi himself so that Barcelona decided to release him to PSG in the midst of Barcelona's own financial crisis Of course he would play for at least two or three years but I actually wanted to underline that his golden age has ended already. He was doing incredible at Barcelona until being transferred by PSG at the beginning of this season. This changed things a lot for him. There was a completely new team and game strategy to adapt to. I think this caused Messi to start playing more comfortable compared to his being very challenging in the past. However I don't expect him to play like in the old times too. |

They need to focus completely on filling the places that are becoming empty by the departure of those players. Rudiger's place comes first in this list surely now. Chelsea will need to spend so much money in this summer maybe but it is going to worth it. If they stay solid for next season maybe they can fight harder for the league title too. But realistically, Liverpool and Manchester City are still way ahead of them.

I would have liked to say that I had a good day in the Nations League but I didn't unfortunately. France showed a performance that was way below my expectation from them. In fact they tried hard to make a comeback but it still didn't help. Their very critical chance in the 86th minute bounced off the goal post and they had to make do with a 1-1 tie. The tournament is still going on like a nightmare for France and I don't know when they will fix this situation. Congrats to Croatia by the way for winning the game 1-0 after a tough competition with Denmark away.

People, including me, all are talking about a probable Zidane signing for PSG these days. After this much speculation, it would be really disappointing to see nothing happening or another manager than Zinedine Zidane. I strongly believe Zidane is the best choice for PSG now. We must be remembering how much he was successful with Real Madrid in the Champions League. I know that it was a tradition for Real Madrid too but his effect on the team can be seen very clearly in that season.

I don't think Barcelona really need lewandowski right now, cause of their recent financial problem. I don't think Barcelona can offer lewandowski a huge amount of salary, though he is a world-class striker but bringing him to Barcelona is not necessary at the moment, he is 33 now and he is getting weaker. Playing in Barcelona will be a big challenge for lewandowski currently, cause he can't easily adapt to their kind of play. Barcelona is a team struggling to get back to form after many setback, they really need young players that can help the teams not age players like lewandowski.
Maybe it isn't their biggest need as they are on the verge of selling Frenkie de Jong. When they sell him they will need to fill his place in the midfield with a good player like him. However I would still love to see Lewandowski and a good midfielder both here. We are just making assumptions about Barcelona's financial condition now but we will find out the real thing in the transfer window. I hope they will have quite a lot of money especially after selling Frenkie de Jong. |

I'm not very positive about it though because I expect Warriors to come back solid for the game up next. The series could come to 2-2. As for every team that comes from a loss, it's expected that the Golden State Warriors will surely do everything to win and bounce back the next game. In fact, even Warriors are behind a large lead right from the start of the 1st Quarter, they made an effort to narrow the lead entering the 4th Quarter. The Celtics surely got alerted when the Warriors are now closing the gap that's why they focus seriously again to bring the momentum back to them. If the same Celtics energy will be shown next game, probably the Warriors will return to their home with a 1-3 score. But that was risky for the Warriors as even if they won Game 5 let's say they are 1-3 on Game 4, they will return again to TD Garden on Game 6 and the Celtics might finish them now. If Warriors return home by a 3-1 score then things could reach a point that they may not be able to come back from. Celtics are a very powerful team now and I don't give much chance to their losing the series after having an advantage like 3-1. In this scenario Warriors will have to play their best games ever consecutively to stay in the series for the seventh game. However in that case I think Celtics would reach the championship by a result like 4-2 at the end. |

Erik Ten Hag would have been an excellent coach for PSG. But would they have accepted that in the squad at PSG? He is fairly inexperienced, but he knows a lot about it. I don't think Pochetino is a great coach at all. Actually there is currently only 1 man suitable to coach PSG and that is Zidane. No one has as much respect and status as him. They have very good players, with the right coach you can win all the trophies next season. The question is of course not whether they will win the competition, that will be easy. But the players and supporters are more hungry.
He really would have been one of the great choices for PSG but Manchester United have become successful about bringing him. The best candidate for PSG is Zinedine Zidane of course but I'm having my doubts about he would join them. Because he hasn't managed a team for a long time and he might want to continue like this for a longer time too. Truthfully I would love to see him managing PSG. He would adapt to the team very quickly too and it might really be the time for PSG to win the CL title then. |
