That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now
The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..? I think he was right about that. I meant even laporta itself has complained about the income that will be getting barcelona will be far less compared when barcelona would still play at the champion league. The problem caused by barcelona was playing in the europa league caused by it was getting degrade due to the unable to be qualified in the group qualifier. I think that you shall also watch what laporta said about that. He has been writing his disappointment with the result from barcelona that has gone to the europa league. You should read what already said by laporta. Barcelona was still in financial crisis and any potential income would be far important rather than trophy But you should also be able to realize that football is not only about income, because trophies in football are still the main thing. If you play football only to pursue the highest achievements then you are wrong, because no team can win the highest title every season. Therefore, every team must be aware of the capabilities of their own team, if they only have the chance to be able to get a lower trophy then there's nothing wrong with being their main target as another option. Because to restore a team's income, it's clear they have to be able to get one trophy every season. So, the Europa League remains an important trophy that Barcelona must get rather than nothing. It's funny to say or assume the Europa League trophy doesn't matter because after all, every trophy is important and if they don't get it they are still seen as underperforming and failing to capture the revenue that might also come from sponsors. In essence, if a team feels unimportant in playing in a certain tournament, then they can go and let their opponent walk out (WO) to win, does Barcelona dare to do that? If Barcelona thinks the Europa League is not important, then let the opposing team win and Barcelona don't need to come to the field or don't need to come to the match, and at least that way Barcelona doesn't need to spend money. |

Indeed France could have been more powerful without injuries. I believe it is one of the most teams that suffered injuries with key players being unlucky to not participate.
Still, France is favourite in my opinion. They have to be disciplined and cut the ball from Messi in their quarter of the field.
There is a counter-argument to this. France has performed really well without star players such as Benzema and Pogba. The argument is that the team balance can be disrupted in case either Pogba or Benzema is included in to the team right now. Younger players such as Randal Kolo Muani, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé were outstanding so far in this tournament. If Benzema and Pogba was fit enough to play, then many of these players will be resting in the bench. And who knows, France would have never reached the final if that happened. Yes, sometimes it's like that, at least behind the injury of key players will be able to provide better results for the team, and it might be an unexpected result too. But that doesn't mean that if Benzema and Pogba are on the field then France won't qualify, because for me even if, for example, Benzema and Pogba can still play, of course France still has a chance to advance to the final. Because after all that's just an argument, the reality can be very different, so in this case, whether they exist or not, basically France is a team that still has the quality to win the title. But when it comes to the final match, then of course the two teams are the best and there's nothing that can be said that team A or team B is better. But indeed, when the final match is over then we will say the winner of the title is the best of the good team compared to the team that lost the final match. But to be honest, for me it is difficult to predict Argentina or France to win the title in a neutral manner, because both have good qualities. But yes, maybe I will stick to my previous prediction about Argentina, because maybe Messi will be able to realize his dream of winning the World Cup in his last match with Argentina at this moment before retiring. |

More precisely, there is half a season left for all the matches that all teams in Serie A will play and that is enough to change the position of each team in the standings. Indeed, Napoli is not safe yet, given the competition from several teams Ac Milan, Juventus and Lazio are still wide open for the Scudetto hunt this season. So don't be complacent in advance for Napoli even though their average difference is 10 points.
It is clear that Napoli are not safe even though they are 8 points ahead and the competition still has 20+ matches left But if they are able to hold undefeated record then their potential to win the tittle is bigger and the team that will be their main competitor is Juventus, I see Juventus having improved performance. Anyway, Napoli for me is safe enough at the top of the Serie A standings this season because I believe it's impossible for Napoli to continue to lose. Even though anything can still happen, a team that can be consistent until the first half of the season, at least they will have the ability to maintain good average results in each match. At least that is one of the reasons I have, because I believe other competing teams will certainly not be able to consistently win, because to maintain victory in every match is a difficult job. Even the strongest teams in different leagues, at least they will also experience defeats as well as draws. With such a comparison, I believe that the ratio of wins and losses for Napoli and the teams under it can never be completely consistent. Because they also have a busy schedule and also changes in the line-up which will certainly occur after the transfer market. Therefore, to maintain victory throughout the season is something that is very rare. |

Great draw that Arsenal and Barcelona are linked. I don't remember them ever playing against each other for the Europa League or the Uefa Cup in the past. They have played against each other quite a few times in the CL. I can remember a game that Arsenal came to 0-1 in Barcelona, but in the end Barcelona won 4-1. I also find it difficult to pass judgment on Xavi. Has he done well or not yet? The game is better but he will have to start winning prizes. Last year against Frankfurt they gave away both games.
It's too early to talk about that, because now Barcelona must beat Manchester United first to advance to the next round. Manchester United is not an opponent that will be easily beaten by Barcelona, even though in the past they have been superior to Manchester United. Barcelona have a big challenge ahead, they have to perform their best to beat the better team under Erik Ten Hag. Even though Barcelona managed to beat Manchester United is not necessarily able to win the Europa League Trophy, there are still other challenges that must be passed step by step. Last season's experience was a lesson that was difficult for Barcelona to forget, when people thought Barcelona would lift the UEL Trophy, a surprise instead occurred in the final, Barcelona lost to Frankfurt which made all predictions fail. Lol, even Barcelona didn't make it to the semi-finals in the Europa League last season as Barcelona were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Eintracht Frankfurt and not in the final. Even worse, Barcelona in the play-off phase this season will play against Manchester United and in fact it is still far from reaching the quarter-finals. If at this moment Barcelona lose by Manchester United then of course it will be a very bad result because they were eliminated from the Europa League even only in the play-off round. Indeed, I also consider Erik ten Hag to be able to take Manchester United to the next phase of the Europa League this season. But even so I still hope Xavi can fix the problems the team had when playing in the Europa League, because if Xavi fails again this season then obviously it is a bad achievement for Xavi for Barcelona in European tournaments. |

It will be a big loss for Manchester United if they can't convince Marcus Rashford stay at Old Trafford, he is still very young and his performances on the pitch have been very good. Other clubs have been monitoring Rashford's situation at Manchester United, especially PSG, who have a lot of money, can do anything to hijack Rashford from MU. Ten Hag has a big task after the world cup is over, besides having to make Rashford stay at MU, he also has to look for new players to improve the quality of his team. Cody Gakpo is very reasonable, but due to the good performance in the world cup the price is getting higher.
Rashford will be a big loss for Manchester United, I don't see any reason why Manchester United shouldn't stick to Manchester United. He is a young player doing well for Manchester United, young players like Rashford Marcus are the kind of players Manchester united needs to be more consistent in performance. PSG will quickly hijack Rashford if he is available because they already see good quality in him, I still believe Rashford will remain in Manchester United. In my personal opinion, Marcus Rashford was not that good before Erik ten Hag joined Manchetser United, but after Erik ten Hag became Manchester United coach, I think that Marcus Rashford has indeed experienced better performance developments this season. Therefore, of course, Erik ten Hag will not easily let Marcus Rashford go to another team or the current rumors about PSG, which of course will be easy to sign Marcus Rashford if the fee is high. But if indeed selling Marcus Rashford can make Manchester United have a high profit as well, then I don't think there is anything wrong with letting go of Marcus Rashford. Because after all there are still many other players who, if Erik ten Hag does have the ability to be able to shape players to have better performance, then at least that will make Manchester United quickly get other players to replace Marcus Rashford. So, if Marcus Rashford chooses to stay or leave, I think it will still be good for both Marcus Rashford and also Manchester United. |

To be honest, because Argentina made it to the final, I think I'm pretty sure Argentina will be a candidate for the World Cup title this time, even though I doubted Argentina at first and I didn't think Argentina would be able to go this far. But because Argentina has succeeded in proving its quality, for me the passage of Argentina to this final is quite a surprise to me too.
Because in the beginning I was more sure about France and not about Argentina, but since France will play against Morocco then I think any result looks like it could happen.
But even so, I personally am quite sure that the final match will bring together Argentina v France, but whoever the opponent Argentina will face in the final match I will still go ahead with Argentina.
Because at this moment I will probably acknowledge Messi's huge contribution to Argentina, because previously Messi had decided to retire to play in the Argentina national team but now Messi can still play well for Argentina. With that great support, of course Messi will really be able to provide good results for Argentina, so I think Argentina will indeed be the strongest candidate at this moment.

There were no surprises in yesterday's semifinal match. As I expected, Argentina won and in a way avenged the 3-0 defeat in the previous world cup. Thus, Argentina became the first finalist in the world cup. Finding 7 hits in 9 shots, Argentina won the match with 3 goals. Today, the other semifinal match will be played. I don't expect any surprises in this match either. France will be the winner.
What's more, Messi has succeeded in shifting Mbappe's position on the list of top scorers for the time being, so of course Mbappe will not hold back from scoring goals in today's match against Morocco. With that said, I personally have no doubts about France and it looks like the surprise for Morocco will end here. Although indeed, we will never know what will happen, but I really don't think I doubt the record on paper for France's victory. But yes, I also believe and still admit that Morocco will still be able to play well and after all, nothing can really guarantee a team will win or lose. So even though this is a match between a seeded team against a non-seeded team, this match is also a very interesting match to watch because basically, Morocco still has a chance to be able to provide unexpected resistance in this match. |

La Liga matchday 15 of 38 will begin on December 29 opening by Girona vs Rayo Vallecano, several player with their country have eliminated in World Cup 2022 have back to their team and joining training center left two weeks later match restarting. I saw Real Madrid official social media account publishing with Karim Benzema have return back to the team and leaving his national team after got injured.
For country have their player existing in World Cup like Nahuel Molina playing for Atletico Madrid have short time after his country lead to final and last match on December 18. Barcelona and Real Madrid having player in France national team, if possibility lead to final actually their main player return back to the team after World Cup and have few day only before La Liga matchday 15 restarting.
They still have enough time to rest for at least 11-12 days because even Atletico themselves will just play on the 30th after the match between Girona vs Rayo Vallecano. Also, not all players from the club played for their national team until the final match, although there were still several players who played in the final World Cup but only a few players and not many. Thus, they will still be fine, unless at one club all the players play in the final match at this World Cup and only have, for example, two days of rest, then obviously it will be problematic. But what happened for matches in La Liga, at least they will still get a better recovery and obviously that's not a problem. Because basically they are used to getting a tighter schedule like only having 3-4 days of rest but at this moment they have 11-12 days of rest and it will still be good for them. But regarding the opening match between Girona v Rayo Vallecano and even though Rayo Vallecano is above Girona by 6 points, I'm sure it will still be a difficult match for Rayo Vallecano. Because Girona itself at this moment is not a team that is so weak, they also still have a pretty good record in home and away matches. |

One cannot escape Nature. 2 years backward, CR7 was every coach's desire when it comes to a successful game plan. He has been holding the reins in both club and the national team. And was accorded due respect and regard. But now, age is one of his main hurdles. The speed, the dribbling agility, and the goal-scoring capacity have all depreciated, but it seems CR7 is finding it difficult to accept this fact, perhaps he still feels he could deliver just like he always does in the past and as such, desiring to be featured in every match.
My opinion is that, unless he accepts the aforementioned facts and makes adjustments, he will hardly escape his present career obstacles.
Yes indeed, the problem is because Ronaldo cannot accept reality and cannot adjust to a body condition that no longer has the speed and great movement like in the past. Therefore, Ronaldo's bad attitude made it difficult for him to get a new club, even though there were still offers from several clubs, it seemed that the club was not Ronaldo's target, so the offer would of course be rejected or ignored. But if there are still big clubs who want to recruit Ronaldo, then I don't think they really need his performance on the field, but only business factors to be able to increase the club's income. Thus, I do not have a strong prediction of which club will recruit Ronaldo in the transfer market later, because of course Ronaldo will only choose clubs that play in the Champions League. If that is Ronaldo's top priority then it will probably still be difficult but I have a few names like Chelsea, Napoli or maybe even Dortmund. |

Maybe, this is the right time to replace Manuel Neuer's role with Bayern Munich. we all know, that Neuer is a great goalkeeper. his role with Bayern Munich is inseparable. however, as you said. Bayern Munich will still do great things with or without him. like what his predecessor, Oliver Kahn, had done when he was still a goalkeeper for Bavaria.
Obviously it's the thing to do. At present, apart from his old injury, Neuer's age is also not young anymore because he is currently 36 years old. On the other hand their second goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is also 34 years old now and I think this is too old for their big club because even for the bundesliga maybe it doesn't really matter but of course there is the Champions League and this is old for their goalkeeper if compare with other big clubs. Basically, the injury to Manuel Neuer is not a big problem, but if Bayern Munich really cares about his performance in the competition in the Champions League, then of course Bayern Munich needs a new, more experienced goalkeeper to replace Manuel Neuer. However, the reason I say this is not a big problem is because Bayern Munich still has solid defenders, so when their defenders are still in their best form, of course, Bayern Munich's defense will also remain safe. It seems that the case of legendary goalkeepers becomes interesting when they get long injuries and or choose to retire, because if I consider players from other positions I think finding or getting a replacement is still relatively easy. So, let's wait and see whether Bayern Munich will recruit a new goalkeeper or just take advantage of and/or maximize the goalkeepers who are second-tier players on the bench. So that with Manuel Neuer's injury, at least Bayern Munich can move faster to be able to have a strong replacement candidate from now on. Even so, I personally remain confident that Bayern Munich will still get a good result for the match to come. Due to Manuel Neuer's injury, I'm sure it won't have a bad impact on the team's performance and even more so on their defense. |

We will start in 1.5 hours with the semi-finals. The Croats are full of self-confidence. Perhaps Modric has even more influence on the game than Messi. Together they have fought many duels at Barcelona against Real Madrid. You would say that Argentina is the favourite, supported by more than 60,000 supporters in the stadium. Croatia, however, has a higher favor factor, I suspect. Some Argentines have misbehaved in their quarter-final match.
This match will be very competitive indeed. Football fans may never have seen such a match before. Chances are today football fans around the world will be mesmerized by Messi's magic. Croatia is a much stronger team and they need to beat them mentally. Hope everyone including Messi in their team will use good strategy to defeat Croatia and secure the final. I think that at this moment there is no team that can be said to be stronger or weaker because they have worked hard to reach the semifinals, so all the teams at this moment are the strongest teams. It doesn't matter if it's a big team or a team that was previously underestimated, because even a team that was previously underestimated can beat the favorite team. So yeah, I really can't say any of them at this point are the strongest or weakest team. Because one of the differences at this moment is the confidence of each bettor, whether they choose Croatia or Argentina and of course with a different assessment too. Even if, for example, I choose Argentina to win but still, I still can't say Croatia is weak and I personally will continue to acknowledge Croatia's quality at this moment. Therefore, if I had to choose no bet, then I probably wouldn't be able to choose which team I should choose to win, and would probably only enjoy the match. |

Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel came to Bayern Munich from Schalke in 2020. As his performance was not good after one year he was loaned to AS Monaco until June 2023. At AS Monaco he is a regular player, although his performances are not constant. Since Manuel Neuer will not be able to play until the summer, Nübel would be an option. For that he would have to be bought out of his current contract.
Bayern Munich has Sven Ulreich as another option. He has made a name for himself as a number 2 in the past and is probably the better option.
It is interesting whether Bayern Munich will really take back Alexander Nübel or will only maximize or utilize other goalkeepers in the current Bayern Munich squad. Because Bayern Munich also currently has two goalkeepers but with very different ages such as Sven Ulreich 34 years old and Johannes Schenk 19 years old, and it seems that Johannes Schenk came from the Bayern Munich academy. Therefore, I think maybe this will be a big chance for Bayern Munich to maximize or make full use of young players, at least it will be a good long-term program. Anyway, as long as Bayern Munich still has strong defenders or defense, then maybe just playing Sven Ulreich and or Johannes Schenk will be enough. Because Manuel Neuer himself is also not too perfect to defend his goal so as not to concede. Thus, I assume that Bayern Munich will not need to sign a new goalkeeper and also will not need to bring back Alexander Nübel before his loan ends. But if the reason is for the Champions League, then of course Bayern Munich still needs an experienced goalkeeper. |

That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now
The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..? The Europa League trophy is more prestigious than the Domestic league trophy, a team that wins the Europa League has the opportunity to win the European Super Cup, because the scheme will bring together teams that have won the UCL and UEL trophies. I don't need to explain at length to you, as a football fan, of course you already understand this. The La Liga title is very important for the Barcelona team. Because they have been eliminated from one of the best tournaments, La Liga. Winning the La Liga title is now crucial for Barcelona to maintain their club image. If Barcelona wins the La Liga title, their club will benefit financially. Basically all titles are important and when a team has a chance to win it, they will continue to maintain their focus. But indeed, there will always be unexpected moments that make the favorite team lose in one of the existing tournaments. But basically, all titles from all competitions are still important and I think winning titles is no longer just to prioritize prizes, money or bonuses but also to make history for the team. If titles are no longer important, then I don't think they need to compete in existing tournaments, because the main goal in tournaments is to win titles. Therefore, if someone says that one of the titles of the tournament is not important, I personally will never believe it. Maybe they assumed the prizes or money or bonuses were too low, so it was assumed that the team was not interested in pursuing the title. But I think that's not the main factor, because if they fail to get the highest title then another tournament will be an option for a team to be able to win the title. At least that's my consideration in a title, because it's better for a team to win the title than nothing, so that will keep them playing well during the season. |

Both teams are charged for the Semi-finals, Argentina might play a more difficult game compared to what the saw against the Netherlands, I just hope Messi's dreams of winning the world cup stays alive after their clash with Croatia later today.
That's what the fans of the Argentine national team hope for as well as Messi's fans because this will be his last chance to win the World Cup, it's been a long time since Argentina lifted the last world cup trophy that happened 36 years ago at the Mexico World Cup, in this match everything is possible for Argentina win or Croatia do and if they can beat Argentina to get back into the final then they are doing it twice in a row and that is an incredible feat for a national team The Argentinian player must try to show his best performance to help Messi win the trophy he has long wanted. Maybe this is Messi's last chance at the World Cup, after this Messi will decide to retire from Argentina. There are only two matches left that Argentina must win to win the world cup trophy, whatever happens the Argentine players must not give up to get there. Only struggle and concentration can help Argentina, they must not make the slightest blunder that can destroy the dream that Messi has long dreamed of. If we consider about Messi then I think this is a very close moment to win the World Cup but indeed, to achieve the highest achievement at least they don't rely too much on Messi to make a good attack. Therefore, with a great squad in every position in this Argentina squad, they should be able to play better and also get the final results that are as expected. It is difficult to build a national team squad full of great players, and this is the perfect moment for Argentina to achieve the desired result of a World Cup title. Even though Croatia has a good defense at this point, I personally don't doubt the quality of Argentina's attack line, at least that's also enough to make me confident to bet on Argentina at this moment. Because basically, Croatia's key players or key players in the rhythm and or tempo of Croatian gameplay lie with Modric and Perisic, considering their age they are also not very good at competing for a long time. Therefore, I think if their movement can be locked or closed, then maybe Croatia's gameplay will probably just continue to defend and will be weak in making attacks. |

I see no reason to think that Marcus Rashford is a very important player for the team. He is talented, but he can't score many goals. Manchester United now need a regular scorer. So Tan Hag is probably thinking of an alternative to Marcus Rashford. Marcus Rashford scored just 4 goals in 25 appearances for Manchester United last season. And he scored 4 goals in 14 matches this season. And so now Ten Hag is probably looking for a regular scorer like Mbappe or Haaland for his team.
Marcus Rashford, is one of the important players for Manchester United under the tutelage of Erik Ten Hag. although Rashford did not provide many goals for Manchester United, his role for the team was indispensable. moreover, when Ronaldo did not contribute much to The Red Devils as a pure sticker. actually Rashford was a winger, Ten Hag rotated him to become a center forward according to the needs of the team at that time. so, it's only natural that Rashford isn't the answer to what the team needs as a pure sticker. currently, Ten Hag has no other choice to bring in a centre-forward after Ronaldo's departure from Old Trafford. United are rumored to be participating in the hunt for players in the upcoming January transfer window. especially to find the right player, as a replacement for Ronaldo later. if Ten Hag doesn't do it, I don't think United can finish in the top four until the season is over. Marcus Rashford under the coach of Erik ten Hag has become the most prolific player in scoring goals, because even though in the Premier League Marcus Rashford has only 4 goals so far, in fact Marcus Rashford is the player who has scored the most goals at Manchester United at the moment. So, Marcus Rashford has become an important player for Erik ten Hag and you also have to be able to distinguish Marcus Rashford's performance from the previous coach and also in this Erik ten Hag era. Because of Marcus Rashford this season in all competitions, it has clearly proven to have the highest number of goals of any player at Manchester United. Therefore, I don't agree if Marcus Rashford is said to be an unimportant player this season, but yes, after all, Manchester United still needs better players. Because to support their performance to be able to finish in the top four, of course they need pure players for each position, but the most important thing is to have good quality main players and second tier players too. That way, then of course Manchester United will have a bigger chance to finish in the top four this season, or at least be able to go further in the European League. |

Yes and also, if Ronaldo in this World Cup can make a big contribution to bring Portugal to the final then I'm still pretty sure Ronaldo will be recruited by a big club who is also competing in the top four. But unfortunately, I don't think Ronaldo's performance has made significant progress, so I doubt Ronaldo will be recruited by the big club as expected.
But regarding Chelsea being interested in Ronaldo, I think that is also true news, but unfortunately, at that time Tuchel refused, even though recruiting Ronaldo was the wish of Todd Boehly himself.
World Cup 2022 only reveals more truth about Ronaldo problems which are actually his body, strength and mindset. He must recognize that he is old enough and can not beat time and ageing. Therefore, if he want to continue his career, he must make big adaptation, changing his style and even position. He also must accept that he will no longer be a first choice of coaches and less likely be used in a full match. Ronaldo is still useful but must be used differently than one or two seasons ago. Additionally, he should feel happy if his career continues and he still can have chance to play for big clubs and win titles with them. Yes, I agree, but I also have a different opinion about Ronaldo. I realize that it doesn't matter if old players choose to continue playing, but they also have to be aware of their age. See how old players like Ibrahimovic and Giroud are for example, they only accept the coach's decision whether to play or only be benched in certain matches. At least by accepting and respecting the coach's decision, it will also have a good impact on the performance of those who can still play according to their portion. But Ronaldo is very different, Ronaldo does not realize that his performance has decreased but his prestige and ambition are still very high. It was this factor that made Ronaldo's evaluation worse and with an attitude that could not accept that he was being benched, it made Ronaldo no longer able to hold back his emotions, anger and selfishness. Compare with Messi and Modric for example, they are also old players but they are still the first choice because they can still make a big contribution to the team and also, their style of play is indeed different. If Ronaldo still chooses to play, then Ronaldo must lower his ego and ambition because only then will Ronaldo still be accepted by many big teams. |

the offer made by MU to min jae is very tempting, 50 million euros is a big enough figure for a player like him, but reportedly the napoli coach (spalletti) told min jae that if he moved to MU, he would not be happy there
I agree with what Spalletti said, that Min Jae definitely won't feel at home at MU. ten hag's coaching style definitely won't suit him, so far what can awaken min jae's potential is spalletti himself, he trusts min jae in napoli and puts in the core players
It would be better if Napoli kept their players until the league ended, because that would be very risky for them in the future. Napoli's game is very promising with teamwork and chemistry between good players. So when they have to change the line-up, there will definitely be a process where they have to re-create chemistry again, that's the risk. Because not all players will quickly adapt to good chemistry. Spalleti should be able to see that his current squad is in good shape, maybe it would be better if they brought in players to be a more formidable back-up, and also sell players who are not showing good progress in training. I agree with you. Napoli's management must defend their players as much as possible, even though tempting offers have come from various other clubs. This season is a momentum for Napoli to record golden history because the opportunity to get the Scudetto is wide open. Napoli players so far have been able to appear extraordinary both in Serie A and in the Champions League. Conditions like that will be very difficult to maintain if there are players who want to leave. And to maintain the desire of players with big offers from other clubs, management can promise them salary increases and bonuses if they win the Scudetto. Moving to Manchester United is certainly not the right choice because Min-jae Kim should also be able to realize it himself, playing for Manchester United is a tough challenge and not all players are ready for the challenges that exist at Manchester United. But if they only want to play under the influence of a big name team like Manchester United, then of course that reason is very inappropriate. But from several sources, I also received other information which said that now it is not only Manchester United who are interested in Min-jae Kim, but also Real Madrid are starting to show interest. If the offer from Real Madrid really comes through, then I'm not sure Min-jae Kim will stay at Napoli, because joining Real Madrid is the dream of many players like him. In addition, Min-jae Kim himself is relatively new in Napoli and more precisely Min-jae Kim has just joined Napoli at the start of this season, and Min-jae Kim's own contract will end in 2025 and that is still long. Therefore, I think anything can still happen if an offer comes from Real Madrid, but if the offer is only from Manchester United then it would be better for Min-jae Kim to stay at Napoli and that's better for the season. |

Croatia If they can play well from the beginning to the end, then Croatia team will have a big chance to win. But I think Croatia may not play very well in this match. Because Argentina is number 1 among the 4 teams that are still alive. In position. If Croatia can beat a team like Argentina then I think Croatia will win the final this time.
If your reason Argentina has higher rank among the other clubs, then I could give an excuse on the quarter final if Brazil is on top 1 position among the other clubs, but when the match happen Brazil is lost to Croatia, what you take on this?  Most popular clubs will play to pressure their opponent and to score many goals, Argentina also did this when they faced weak club. Croatia never play with attacking strategy, they always do counter attack. I don't expect their will score many goals, so I will bet below 1.25 in this match. Wow, it's interesting I think if in this match still only get a final result that is even below 1.25 because I think this match will probably have a few goals and I believe Messi can provide a good pass and or Messi's movement can open up gaps to be converted into goals. If at normal times, whether it's in the first half or second half, Argentina managed to score a goal, then of course the match would be more open and that would make them have another goal in normal time. I think the gameplay in the semi-finals will be very different from their gameplay in the quarter-finals, because ending the match faster without extra time will of course be better for them to get maximum rest time. Indeed, it is not correct to say that one of the teams is the best team, because even Brazil, which is basically the best team with great potential to win the title, can still be beaten by Croatia. Therefore, I personally only consider them with the gameplay they have, even though so far the non-seeded teams have only played defensively and only rely on counterattacks to score goals. But if the seeded team can make better penetration, then of course the non-sedeed team's defense will also be penetrated. |

People are overreacting to Neuer injury and I believe that we are talking about something serious for him, and that is true but Bayern is not the type of club that can't replace a goalkeeper, we are forgetting that this is THE club in Germany and they will do amazing with or without him.
I personally believe that he is a good goalkeeper that is for sure, but Bayern could lose anyone, upemacano, goeretzka, mane, sane, doesn't really matter who they lose, if it is just one player then they wouldn't be doing badly at all, they will do great and wouldn't really be hurting. He is getting older anyway, I feel like they should start looking for someone younger already.
Also, as far as I remember it seems that in the past few seasons there have been moments when Neuer was also unable to play due to injury and also spent quite a long time, but the results still didn't make Bayern Munich get bad results in every match. I agree that Neuer is getting old and it's time for Bayern Munich to look for a replacement, because in my opinion Neuer right now is not very good at being able to keep clean sheets. So yes, with Neuer injured this time it will be an opportunity for several young Bayern Munich goalkeepers or maybe they will bring in a new goalkeeper. Cases like this remind me of Buffon at Juventus with his old age and at that time Juventus started looking for a goalkeeper to replace Buffon. What's more, the goalkeeper was given the number 1 jersey which I think, when there are still legends in the team then it might be a tough responsibility for the new goalkeeper to replace the main goalkeeper position. At least Buffon and Neuer are both the best goalkeepers and captains of the team and yes, I'm sure Bayern Munich will start to do the same too. |

The advantage for many Italian teams is that their players have not been part of the world championship. Players from Juventus have therefore had extra rest. In any case, they have had a long time to think about the situation. At Inter Milan it was not good the first half of the season either, but I still see potential for that team. AC Milan could still become champions, but it is also a team with a lot of experience. And Girou always scores goals everywhere, someone like that decides a lot of matches for you. The question is whether Giroud can still be held after his performance at the world championship.
but if Napoli plays well until the end of the season, of course it will be difficult for Juventus and Acmilan to win the league cup this season, Napoli will certainly not stop fighting to get the Italian league cup trophy this season if Napoli fails in the Champion's League later, Acmilan is still 8 points apart by Napoli even though it can be pursued but it seems difficult to get rid of Napoli this season Napoli already have points that is far ahead of other teams, so if they can still continue to play well I'm very sure they can win the league. The difference of 10 points from other teams can take them far to achieve the trophy. Yes, it is difficult for other teams to overtake Napoli, at least if Napoli can be overtaken then Napoli must continue to experience consecutive defeats. Meanwhile, I think that is very unlikely because after all, I am very confident that Napoli will be able to maintain good results in every match. Even if in several matches Napoli loses and or draws, I'm sure these bad results will not be sustainable because of course they also have the ability to overcome them. Also, don't worry about the competing teams, which of course are also difficult to be consistent in winning, even though Milan has Giroud who is a player who is quite prolific in scoring goals but still, Milan will also certainly get several defeats and draws. Therefore, to be able to catch up with that 8-10 point gap is something that is difficult, because you would expect continuous bad results for the top teams and continuous good results for the teams below them. Obviously it's something that I'm sure won't happen at this moment, let's see the end result later even though everything still looks possible but for me it's something difficult. |
