It is certain, PSG will play offensively in the second leg later, Galtier will install his main starting line-up and optimize his players in the match later. like it or not, PSG must appear to attack from the early minutes. it's just a question, what strategy will Galtier apply. because as we know, if PSG appear offensive their defense will be a little slack.

So this match will be more interesting, because after all Bayern is not an easy team to beat, especially since they are playing as the home team in the second leg later. but I'm pretty sure, in the second leg later PSG will give their best game. however, before preparing for the match later. at least PSG must secure full points in every match in Ligue 1.That way, PSG's focus can return to the Champions League match.

Arsenal's defeat to City last night was purely due to the mistakes of some of their defenders. I see it, the Gunners' young squad seems to be playing under pressure, facing a tough team like City makes their mentality a little disturbed. This defeat really made Arsenal's situation in trouble to achieve their mission.

But at least, there is still a chance for the Gunners to return to their winning ways after suffering a series of poor results in four matches in all competitions. Arsenal still have one game, to take over the ranking that City currently occupies. I hope Arsenal don't run out of gas for that. against Aston Villa, they must win. Arsenal must return to winning ways, if they still want to win the Premier League trophy this season.

Arsenal's defeat in last night's match was purely the fault of the Gunners players. in particular, Timiyasu. The smell of defeat has been seen, since the beginning of the first half started. I'm not sure why Timiyasu underperformed last night. because he doesn't normally play so badly. apart from that, Zinchenko also did not play in his usual form. fatally, Timiyasu made a blunder that made City get the opportunity to create the seed first. Game-wise, the Gunners aren't too bad. unfortunately, several opportunities they missed.

As a result, City was able to take advantage of Arsenal's situation which was experiencing a crisis of confidence and made it a win for The Citizen. this defeat, had to bury Arteta's mission to win a trophy in this competition. otherwise, Arsenal will find it difficult to focus on the Premier League trophy.

For Barcelona vs United, on paper Barcelona is one level above The Red Devils. but at least, this fight will be very exciting for us to watch.

It would be a bit strange, if people predict this fight will end in a draw. In terms of strength, this team has a much different gap. Moreover, Madrid is playing at home. as I said in the previous post, the absence of Vini jr will not have a big effect on the team's overall performance.

I even said, Madrid will score at least two goals. why, the return of Benzema, Eder Militao, made the team's performance start to return to bring Madrid to victory after being defeated by Mallorca in the previous match. after all, it is likely that Elche will be relegated this season. as a result, Madrid was able to reduce the difference in points with the top standings. Furthermore, Don Carlo only needs to improve his team's overall performance to maintain their consistency so that they can still close to the points that Barcelona have.

What concerns me when Union Berlin is against Ajax, are they able to keep up with the home team's game. if yes, this can motivate them to continue in their domestic league with a positive trend. but if the opposite happens, it is likely that Union Berlin will begin to experience a decline in performance even though this week Berlin will face a team that is not too tough for them to overthrow, namely Schalke. nevertheless, these matches are crucial matches for Urs Fischer's squad to maintain its consistency. moreover, Berlin has one last meeting which will visit the Allianz Arena, the headquarters of Bayern Munich.

For Bayern, I am still optimistic that Nagelsmann's troop squad will continue to advance with its positive trend in the Bundesliga. in the last four matches in all competitions, Bayern have started to return to their winning ways. IMO, it's difficult for Berlin to break Bayern Munich's dominance.

I didn't watch this fight all the way through, but it was as we predicted before. Edin Terzic's squad will win this fight in the first leg. and it happened, especially in the first half. Dortmund controlled the game, they had many chances though none of them were on target until a deadlock was created in the second half by Adeyemi's goal.

Meanwhile, Chelsea had a series of golden opportunities to equalize. however, goalkeeper Kobel's performance was brilliant and Chelsea's poor coordination of attacks meant that the Blues failed to equalise. in this way, Dortmund only needs to aim for a draw in the second leg to ensure qualification for the next round. on the other hand, Chelsea has a tough task when they face Dortmund playing at home. at least, the Blues have to perform as much as possible because after all they don't want to be eliminated in front of their own supporters during the game later.

But in fact, it's just your belief. in fact, we can't even fathom how regretful he is from his loss. maybe, the opposite happened. so far, we can only assume. it could be, that this man has very abundant funds. after all, he really bet with a very fantastic amount. let's imagine otherwise, maybe he is a wealthy man who is betting on the team he idolizes. So, what is certain is that we will never know because in the link that the OP shared, it doesn't even tell the background of the man who risked 1.4 million USD.

But I agree with you, that betting like that is a really crazy idea. because of the fact, we would not dare to bet such a fantastic amount. but for sure, this is a gamble. some win, and some lose.

Good point. yes, we agree. it would be very natural, when someone feels worried, especially in this case the woman is his fiancé. no woman wants her life to be miserable, especially when she marries a gambling addict. I really understand what the fiancé of the OP's cousin feels. anyway, as you said. marrying a gambler who is out of control is the biggest fear for women, especially if he also has the same history in relation to the closest people around him.

In the OP's story, the fiancé has a brother who has compulsive gambler tendencies. I will not blame the woman, just like you said. that the woman has the right to be assured that her future husband will not act in the same way as her brother. the point is, OP's cousin should make a wise choice. it's not nice, if the cousin leaves his fiancé only about gambling problems. supposedly, there is mutual trust built by the two partners so that it does not cause further turmoil in the future.

Seriously, why should it. I think Ronaldo has to be able to adapt to the existing players. he must create even stronger chemistry and bonding. Al Nassr are a strong team in this competition, even before Ronaldo arrived.Anderson Talisca always scores goals for his team, he has scored 13 goals so far. so, Ronaldo has to prove that he can still be relied on.

Tomorrow, Ronaldo must prove his sharpness when Al Nassr host Al Taawoun. and if Ronaldo is able to score as many goals as against Al Wehda, then Al Nassr can return to the top of the standings which is currently occupied by Al Shabab by packing 40 points. so, let's wait whether Ronaldo is able to play optimally.

I dunno, I don't have a proper answer for this one.

The problem is, in most cases, whenever we are in a loss-chasing situation, most of the time all we end up with is a loss. in fact, this story can happen over and over again when we are in the chasing loss phase. To be honest, I don't recommend always chasing losses. What's more, what we are playing is a type of gambling that is purely based on luck.

But if you ask me, usually, one or two defeats. it was enough for me to stop the gambling session. why, because in theory, our psychology begins to play with emotions that we most likely have a hard time controlling. in fact, even if you can recover your losses, it does not guarantee that you will stop your gambling session. the key is in you. are you willing to accept defeat again when chasing losses. or you can end the gambling session, to avoid bigger losses. everything is a choice.

I understand exactly what you mean, especially when Brazil was in the era of the best players. almost all lines are filled by star players. every time Brazil will play, the atmosphere of the stadium is like a roar. the team he was against, felt the terror from the Brazilian players. especially since the era of Pele, Romario and Ronaldo. whoever the opponent, will be very careful when fighting them.

It's just, we forgot something. that today's football has evolved far compared to a decade ago. football today, does not really prioritize individual techniques per individual. I mean, modern football now emphasizes the game of teamwork. tiki-taka, one, two touches, the current system is more modern and that's why it's difficult for the Brazil squad to only rely on the individual actions of each player.  We can see how Tite implemented his system when his team played matches at the 2022 World Cup. Most of the time, they dribbled the ball too long and it was not uncommon for the players to take individual actions. Vini Jr, is a great player, he has undoubted skill. The problem is, he takes too long to dribble. the pattern of the Brazilian game system still carries the old system. that's why, one of the things that causes them difficulties when they meet teams that tend to defend. because the system they run, already has a counter to anticipate it.

Nevertheless, I agree with you. different when his era, Ronaldo, Romario, Bebeto, even Pele. Football at that time was more popular with the actions of its players, and that made Brazil highly respected by its opponents. but that's the difference this era, the system adopted in modern football is quite complicated. next, in the 2026 cup later. at least Brazil will still be respected by its opponents, because after all their players are all stars in their clubs. the problem is, can their new coach bring Brazil to win a trophy in the championship later.

This is a matter of strategy and formation that Galtier implemented in PSG's match against Bayern. Galtier tried to implement a 4-4-2 formation, pairing Messi and Neymar as the spearhead. two pivots and two attack bracelets, the rest are defenders.
IMO, the scenario that Galtier executed with the pattern of play relied on counterattacks. but unfortunately, the pattern that Galtier applied did not work effectively "in the first half" the transition between the players was too slow, plus several defenders made mistakes, one of which was Hakimi. and as we saw, PSG really struggled when trying to build an attack.

In half two, Galtier pulled on Carlos Soler, playing Mbappe aiming to change his starting formation. and yes, quite effective, the attacks that PSG built were more threatening than in the first half. Mbappe scored two goals, unfortunately it had to be annulled due to offside and VAR.

Overall, I'd say it's purely Galtier's fault in his implementation of the strategy. maybe the story would have been different if PSG had played at full strength from the start. next, PSG will play at home to Bayern and we'll see how they will give us an interesting spectacle.

This rumor developed after Neymar's altercation in the locker room with some of his team-mates. word spread, rumors related to PSG included Neymar in the list of players they would sell in the transfer window next summer. however, I believe these rumors are just rumors that are deliberately spread by media journalists.

even if it were true, I would prefer to see Neymar and even Messi playing in other European clubs instead of playing with PSG. at least, there are still many clubs that need Neymar's services even though he is already 31 years old.
for Madrid, I'm not sure if Madrid need Neymar's services but maybe Ancelotti is interested if the price tag is not too expensive.  maybe also, premier league clubs interested in signing him. yes, we'll see how the next development.

It shouldn't be a problem for Madrid to win this match easily, especially since Madrid will be playing at their own headquarters. Benzema, Rodrygo, Asensio will be played as the main starters. while Vini jr, had to be absent after being suspended due to a yellow card accumulation. but in truth, Vini jr's absence shouldn't affect this fight. The reason is, the opponent for Madrid this time is not a strong team. yes, Elche is in the relegation zone. it's hard to imagine, that Elche will provide a fierce resistance playing at home to Madrid. so, three points are the results that Madrid must get to reduce the gap in points with the leaders of La Liga.

On the other hand, it's hard for Elche to qualify in the relegation zone. Pablo Machin's team lost a lot of points, and it looks like Elche will be relegated this season. so, full points are a mandatory result for Madrid and at least they will score two goals in this match.

It is not certain, even if Barcelona can overthrow United in the playoffs later. we cannot guarantee that Barcelona will be able to overthrow their opponent in the next match. after all, we don't know for sure which team will win the match between Barcelona vs Manchester United. after all, these two teams are both determined to win each other's match in this playoff round. in particular, Barcelona, ​​which from the start had targeted the Europa League trophy. but in fact, they must first face United, which in fact this team is also in a very positive trend. for sure, this match will feature the best versions of the two teams that will fight. this match too, we will see how the two coaches compete in tactics and strategy. so a little mistake, will have an impact on these two teams.

On the other hand, since the beginning Arsenal has been predicted to be a strong candidate to challenge in this competition. Arteta has also stated on several occasions that he is determined to bring his team to win two trophies at once this season. apart from the Premier League, the young Gunners squad is also targeting the Europa League trophy. so, let's just wait and enjoy every match that will be presented.

As the home team, Arsenal must take advantage of the momentum playing in front of their own supporters. this match, must be a winning match for the young squad of The Gunners. the reason is, currently City is not too different from Arsenal. especially in several matches, City's performance has decreased slightly and it is proven that City has slipped in four matches out of 22 matches this season. so, the Gunners must win to widen the difference in points from its toughest rival, City. that way, Arsenal have more chances to win a trophy this season.

Meanwhile, City will not let Arsenal step away from the points they have. to be sure, Pep Guardiola will maximize his troops to get full points in this match to equalize points from Arsenal. that way, the competition on the standings board will be even more competitive. but, as an Arsenal fan I hope the Gunners' young squad will play all out to overthrow City at their own headquarters.

Munich played very impressively in last night's match, despite some pressure, especially in the last minutes. but in the end, Nagelsmann's squad was able to maintain the score until the end of the match. Furthermore, Nagelsmann must prepare his troops in the second leg later. the reason is, it looks like PSG will play all out to win when playing at the Allianz Arena, headquarters of Munich. Next week, Bayern will have an away game against Gladbach at Borussia-Park. looking at the current performance of the visitors, in five matches Gladbach was only able to win one match, three defeats, one draw. so it should be, three points is the result they must get considering Gladbach's very poor performance.

On the other hand, Union Berlin is in second place behind Munich by one point. Berlin has the chance to overtake the leaders of the standings if they are able to overthrow Schalke in the match later, but on condition that Bayern slips up against Gladbach. and it seems, the competition for the Bundesliga standings is quite competitive in the next few weeks.

PSG has suffered a series of three defeats in all competitions, and one of them was in last night's game against Bayern. IMO, this time Galtier implemented a 4-4-2 formation with a counterattack scenario. unfortunately, the PSG players do not support the system that Galter implements. and yes, there were many blunders made by PSG defenders in the first half, plus Hakimi's poor performance. there was an imbalance in the first half, in fact PSG almost didn't have a chance in the first half. on the contrary, Bayern played very aggressively. Nagelsmann's squad has a lot of chances.

Meanwhile, PSG started to find their rhythm in the second half after Mbappe came on to replace C.Soler. Too bad Mbappe's two goals had to be ruled out for offside and VAR. Next, like it or not Galtier must play his full strength in the second leg and prepare his team to overthrow Bayern later.

Actually, this could be said to be just a coincidence. although, there are many stories of novice gamblers who have the same experience as you tell in this thread. I believe this is pure luck. in fact, we cannot formulate that every beginner will win the bet the first time.

To be honest, I don't really believe in it because things like this are too biased for me. moreover, we have no evidence to support the opinion or belief that novice gamblers have very high luck to win the first bet. or it could be, this is a strategy from the gambling house so that the gambler comes back another day. There is much speculation, but no definite answer. so, I consider this phenomenon to be pure luck but not for all novice gamblers.

To be honest, I don't have the exact answer you'd expect.

I think this is a personal matter, about an individual. I have the same story, many people in my environment are compulsive gambling addicts. in fact, I too have been part of an addiction though not as extreme as the compulsive gambler. there is no other way, other than taking him to a rehabilitation place with the support of friends and your family. at least, you have made an effort to recover your little brother from his addiction. but in fact, the main factor that drives to recover or stop compulsive gambling activities is intention.

Intention is the initial capital, then accompanied by strong determination. So, the problem lies with your younger brother. whether he has the intention to recover, and has a strong determination. and if so, you can take it to the experts, at least psychological problems must be prioritized first.
