When you play for so long and there us no result, there is always demoralisation on the long rum. Tottenham should also sell their old players and buy new set of boys to get them trophies.
I really sure Tottenham was not even better while Conte as a coach. I see the officially designed Stellini as a caretaker, which I still doubt can make Totanham still in top 4 premier league until the end of league because I never heard about his achievement while a coach, Stelli is just Conte Assistant, where doesn't have enough experience. Experience only comes when one is given a chance, Christian stellini selddomly have chances like this. If he had more in the past it will be enough to build his confidence. Even at that, U shouldn't doubt stellini's ability yet buzz u never can tell what his plans for the team is. He was there with them in 2021 when Jose morinho was sacked. With the help of the care taker manager it's going to be a smooth sail for him. |

Servilla has a good record against Manchester united in the past. I don't know what was wrong with those matches but all I know is that ten Hag boys need to learn from the mistakes made from those matches in order to secure themselves against any outcome.
Manchester United is in a good form, thanks to Ten Hag who has set the system to this level, but it will add more to Ten hag record if he get the Europa league this season. I'm sure he knows this.

Leeds are no match for Arsenal as you know. There is an enormous gap between these teams now and this game between them in Emirates should end up with a comfortable victory for Arsenal as well.
Arsenal are on a really tough road going to the championship now. They have a safe gap with Manchester City for now but is still not that wide anyway. Arsenal have no other choice than maintaining their focus until the end of the season. They just can't underestimate any of their remaining opponents. Leeds are one of them. They are a really weak team at defending. Arsenal should be able to tear them apart in my opinion.
So far this season , Leeds has been a very tough work to strong team's like Manchester United, wolves, real sociedad Manchester city and Liverpool. I know of two stubborn clubs in England who have always been a big problem to top England clubs like Manchester united, Chelsea, Liverpool and arsenal. This two clubs are Brighton and leeds . There may be a victory for Arsenal in the match against leeds but not a comfortable victory. I don't expect a comfortable victory in a match that involves Leeds and any other England strong team. |

The favor factor to Napoli is huge. Benfica has also not achieved European success for a long time. Looking at the CL victory, Porto is the last team to win the CL under Mourinho's leadership. I thought somewhere around 2009. The chance is quite small that Benfica will do this, but the game against Inter Milan is a 50% game in which Benfica could really continue. And also important for the coefficient list that Benfica puts in a good result. For itself but also for competitor Porto. Napoli seems to me clearly too strong for Benfica and Inter Milan, but the differences are not extreme.
Indeed, it can be said that Napoli has the upper hand seeing that the opponents they will face up to the final round are not that difficult. But indeed Benfica will be the only opponent who is serious enough if the two teams later meet in the semifinals. So far benfica has won consistently in both the league and the UCL. It is undeniable that these two teams will fight for a place in the final later, but indeed Napoli is slightly above Benfica. I think this will be an exciting match before the final slot is filled by one of these teams. Benfica's performance has been quite good this season. But I don't think their squad is stronger than Napoli's. Napoli's consistency from the start of the season is admirable. Benfica played against Club Brugge in the round of 16. Club Brugge was not a strong team. And so Benfica won this match very easily. Benfica will play against Inter Milan in the quarter-final round. Inter Milan's performances are now very erratic. The team is also not able to perform well in Serie A. So there is a possibility that Inter Milan will lose against Benfica. Inter Milan will not be able to win against Benfica if the performance of the players is not stable. If I would compare the performance, I will first of all consider their leagues. Portugal league is less stronger compared to Italy serie a, with this I won't really exalt Benfica dominance. serie a is made up of more stronger contenders than the Portugal league. So, even if inter Milan is not doing well in serie a, I still believe that it's going to be the toughest moment for Benfica in this season champion league. Inter Milan was a huge distraction for Porto who also is a strong contender in Premeira liga just like Benfica. It's going to be a tough match, and I wouldn't advice any one to bet on venfica to win respective of inter Milan's performance in the domestic league. |

Juventus still has a long way to go to reach European football. If they hadn't had the penalty of the found, they wouldn't have had such a bad year in the league at all. Then they would be 2nd. And Napoli is just too good this year. They currently fall into the Manchester City Bayern Munchen caterogy, you don't have to be ashamed that you would support that. But the facts are different because of the points deduction. If Juventus could still qualify for the Europa League with 15 points off, that would be an achievement in itself. I think the players are loyal to Juventus and maybe this will motivate them even more next season.
Juventus shouldn't have to force themselves to qualify for the Europa League because maybe when they qualify they will have a heavy burden to try to look good in every game, and of course when they don't have a good game it will only make the audience bored. Maybe Juventus should get into the top five of the table to qualify for the Europa League, and that is very difficult to do because it is not easy to get as many points as they need. Juventus have to force themselves. Their current condition is unhesltggy to the entire club's legacy. Juventis for now is the champion if Italy serie a, and if they don't do anything to at least move into the Europe league zone it will cost the team more arm cuz some players who's contract has already expired, will not like to sign new one. I'm sure the management knows how detrimental it is when players start leaving the team at this point, so now they still have few good players they need to push into a better place before the whole condition becomes worst (this will happen if they don't participate in any European competition next season). |

Barcelona are winning the la liga title this season, with 12 points away from Real Madrid they have better advantage now to secure the title over Madrid who were unable to win their matches and take chances they had to close up the gap. I doubt now that Barcelona will also throw away this golden opportunity and all the hard work they have put in to get this far.
I agree with you, Barcelona have more chance to embrace this la Liga league title than Real Madrid because they have defeated so many strong teams in this season that made people to believed that it will be difficult for Barcelona to miss the golden opportunity in the remaining matches. Real Madrid didn't display what they displayed last season that made people to be smiling all the time for the victory they were achieving in every match compared this season that is making Barcelona to gap Real Madrid with a long gap which it will be difficult for them to recover before the end of the tournament. If not performing well in the Champions League and Europa League, the Barcelona team is playing very well in La Liga. Out of 26 matches they have lost only 2 matches and conceded only 9 goals. Barcelona's performance is stable because of their strong defense. And the second-placed team in the table, Madrid, is 12 points behind Barcelona. So there is no fear of Barcelona losing the title this season unless Barcelona loses the truck badly. I think Barcelona will win both Copa del Rey and La Liga this season. As long as the season draws to this point and considering the appoint difference between Barcelons and their second, any one will be able to chose chose the next La liga champions. Speaking of Barcelona success in general, Barcelona is doing well but I will not attribute this glory to it defense. Barcelona defense line is made up of aging players. Right now the most successful arm of the team is the attacking arm and the midfield. Some players needs to be replaced in Barcelona and I'm sure this couldn't happen due to the financial statute of the team and that will be solved if Barcelona wins the La liga title this season. |

Maybe Tuchel would really be better for Bayern Munich in every way. But I still think that attitude against Nagelsmann was unfair. They could have at least waited for the end of the season before making such important decision.
Why isn't it fair. everything might have been stated in a contractual bond that applied to him before he accepted the job from Bayern Munich so that if something happened that was surprising he had to be able to accept it gracefully. Tuchel also experienced the same incident when when he was suddenly sacked by Chelsea, all of that is a common thing in the world of football or big team teams. for now bayern has a new coach who is very experienced and has pretty good criteria in coaching the big team. Tuchel is on a contract until June 2025 and we all hope he can bring lots of trophies to Bayern munich. Tuchel wouldn't be better in any way. Tuchel takes over a team that hasn't lost a single title yet, eliminated PSG in the Champions League and is playing at home in the DBF Pokal in the quarterfinal. Tuchel is lucky. And you say that Nagelsmann should accept the decision gracefully, ha?? Why should he be graceful? I don't get that. He must accept the decision, but nobody cares in which way he does, he just has to. No further questions asked. The disappointment is huge and I understand that. Tuchel himself admitted that he can't really change anything now about the team's play. Tuchel nay admit that he can't do anything about the team play but the players having a new coach will definitely change their style of play. When the it attitude changes their performances in the pitch changes. Just like what Tottenham is facing with don't. Conte speaks more about players attitude which you don't know is the same problem Nagelsmann was facing. Now that the players as seen a new coach, definitely there will be an improvement in their performances. |

I also think Benfica have guaranteed themselves first place in the Primera Liga. 10 points is a big gap from Porto and I think Porto have no chance of catching up with Benfica. As for the upcoming game against Inter, I predict that Benfica will win. Just look at the stats of the last games of both clubs and everything becomes clear.
The performance of the Benfica team has impressed me this season. It's not just that they're doing well in the Primeira Liga. They have been able to maintain consistency in the Champions League as well. I think the team will also win against Inter Milan in the Champions League match. Their coach Roger Schmidt is doing a great job. He managed to solve the internal problems of the party. Because of this, the bond between Benfica players is very strong. And the players are very confident. If the players are confident, it is possible to win even if the opponent is a big team. benfica is an extraordinary team (That's all because Benfica's attack line is extraordinary, Mario and Ramos are at the top of the top scorers), so far in the portugal league, they have only lost 1 time while porto has lost 3 times and braga 5 times so it is very feasible for benfica to win this season. but when facing inter in the champions league later, I doubt Benfica will maintain their good performance because inter is not an easy team to beat. Speaking about their performance I don't think it will be affected. Barcelona didn't experience a decline in performance when they were Eliminated from the champion league and Europa league and they are in a stronger league than the liga Portugal. Portugal league is just like the Netherland Eredivisie. A few known clubs keeps dominating the title in every season. As it stands now in Portugal league, Benfica name has already been written as the next champions. This can be seen in their performances and they will set all system ready to achieve it at all cost |

Rennes - Lens is another game on next week to be played. It is an important game for both of these teams for qualifying for tournaments in Europe.
Rennes have a chance for even the Europa League now. The gap with Monaco is only four points which can be closed in the remaining time period of the season. Lens on the other hand are trying to qualify for the Champions League. They can even make it to the group stage if they manage to take the second position. However Marseille are a really challenging team to beat them about this. Lens beat them in their latest head-to-head game though. But I still don't think Rennes will lose. They newly beat PSG away shockingly so they should be motivated to win here as well.
After beating PSG very well, of course that should motivated Rennes squad to get points against Lens, although on a head to head record Lens is better rather than Rennes but later they will favored because they are playing at home. Also Lens when playing away they are not too good, so far in 14 matches they have only been able to get 4 wins 8 draws and 2 lost. And my guess for this match will end with a draw results, because I think Lens also don't want to lose points for stay close with Marseille. You have said it already that lenz has a better H2H record than Rennes. Couple with that, taking instances from other matches may also help to anyone such matches. Rennes may be able to defeat PSG but get humiliated by lenz just like it happens to Manchester united and Liverpool. Lenz now will not afford to lose in a match like this judging from their closeness with Masseille. I know the book makers will pay little attention to Rennes current form but I won't give attention to those odds as I know Lenz seems much better to win this match. |

I really sure Tottenham was not even better while Conte as a coach. I see the officially designed Stellini as a caretaker, which I still doubt can make Totanham still in top 4 premier league until the end of league because I never heard about his achievement while a coach, Stelli is just Conte Assistant, where doesn't have enough experience.
There will always be a chance for totenham to be even better as long as the new coach will able to change the habits that are owned by totenham players right now. I would say that if Tottenham's players are having very bad habits right now. What conte said was actually the truth about totenham. Totenham can't accept what conte said has been shown if totenham is really having the same habits and mentality as what conte said. Conte was just revealing the truth about totenham. If management was realizing it and totenham will not sack conte. That's a very bad decision that has ever taken by totenham by sacking conte just caused by he wanna try to give very good critics to the club. Poor totenham and this club will always be loser by keeping the bad habits like that. When things go wrong in a team like this, different opinion rises. Just like in the case of Manchester United and CR7, he was only able to tell the media about the poor facility in Man united and couldn't talk about his attitude toward the coach. It is very possible for Conte to speak about players attitude but you wouldn't expect him to say what makes the players to develop such attitude. Players behaviour is triggered by the coach, is either by disagreement or any other misconception within the team. Conte also contributed to this bad habit of Tottenham players. |

Manchester United is understandably better than Newcastle United judging by their current form and general performance this week. They also have player of higher quality than Newcastle but that shouldn't be a reason to think that it'll be impossible for Newcastle to win the match.
Newcastle have had a great season so far and they know how to get good results that's why they're in 5th position in the table so for Manchester United to win that game, they must play to their full strength Manchester United is only better than Newcastle due to the points are higher. But if you analyze the team's performance and statistics, then Newcastle is certainly better. Until the 26th match, Newcastle only lost 3 times and only conceded 19 times. Meanwhile at Manchester United, they lost 6 times and conceded 35 goals in 26 matches. Most times if you don't look at statistics very well and follow record by going head-to-head. You will not understand their current form and performance of a particular clubs. If you look by television performance that you are seeing you will think that Manchester United is in better form than Newcastle. I am surprised to see your analysis that Newcastle is more informed than Manchester united. I think Newcastle needs the match more because they need to get back to the top four while Manchester United seems that they are comfortable in the top four already. |

Barcelona are winning the la liga title this season, with 12 points away from Real Madrid they have better advantage now to secure the title over Madrid who were unable to win their matches and take chances they had to close up the gap. I doubt now that Barcelona will also throw away this golden opportunity and all the hard work they have put in to get this far.
Perhaps, yes, but remember, has there ever been a time in history when, almost at the end of the season, a team could close such a big gap in just a few games? It's almost impossible, and in fact Barcelona secured the championship with a victory in the "El Clasico", I assumed that in this match everything will be decided, either the gap of 6 points, which is possible to reduce, or 12, where there is almost no chance Why this discussion? I thought that Barcelona has already won the Spanish La Liga. The day that Real Madrid refused to beat them was the day I thought that they won the Spanish La Liga. I mean if Barcelona loses all the remaining of their matches and the Madrid wins all, will Real Madrid still catch up with them. How many matches are left to end a Spanish La Liga for the season. Though I have been joining this conversation but I really thought that Barcelona has officially won the Spanish La Liga for the season. |

OFFICIAL: Antonio Conte has left Tottenham Hotspur by mutual agreement.
As said yesterday it was predicable. We got rumors during these months before the chaos happened to Juventus he basically had a deal done with them. In the past month we also got rumors about a possibility for Milan or Inter. We will see what will happen with the penalization for Juventus, if they remove it he has a good opportunity to coming back What are the terms of the said agreement that I read. I read that Conte and Tottenham has a gentle man agreement and the result is that Conte will leave Tottenham. What are the terms of the agreement? Will Totenham be paying Conte till his contract expires or there are no entitlements? Is the problem of Tottenham really from the coaching aspect or there is no single motivation for the boys even after building the stadium? When you play for so long and there us no result, there is always demoralisation on the long rum. Tottenham should also sell their old players and buy new set of boys to get them trophies. |

I was thinking the same way until I learned that Ronaldo was brought to assist the team and not to do the overall work.
I'm seeing that the expectations is too much on Ronaldo's side and it's not too good. But What people will say isn't a problem, cuz it will have nothing to do with Ronaldo's relationship with the club as people already know his capability.
Ronaldo is only one player in a team with 11 players in each squad and he only contributes the best he can. However, it does not mean he is able to bring his club to success. Sometimes he can but we can not request him to do this every match. Ronaldo did make some changes in Al-Nassr and for Saudi Professional League in general. He helped the club and the league become more famous globally especially in European countries. With his appearance in the league, many television companies decided to buy television rights of Saudi Professional League and broadcast league matches. In Al-Nassr, Ronaldo did boost his team-mates to play with more seriously winning desire. In PSG, Neyma, Messi and mbappe were brought for the same purpose ( trophy win) but if things doesn't turn out that way it still never mean they have failed.
PSG have more star players than Al-Nassr and they must play well even they don't have those trio super star players. I don't think a club with many star players like PSG can not win their matches if they don't have those three super stars in a match. Despite the enormous expectations from the fans of Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has really lived beyond those expectations if you ask me and judging by his age. So many people think that the Saudi Pro League isn't as competitive as that of the European leagues so he should be scoring as many goals as possible which I think is not true. Ronaldo is doing his best for the team and expectations shouldn't be left for him to carry alone but from the 11 players that represents the club in the pitch. His two goals for his country on Friday shows that he still one his the best in the game but that shouldn't be a reason to expect more than he can give Football can never be relied upon. Given Ronaldo's age, he is performing very well for Al Nassr. Portugal's match with England gave England a tooth-breaking reply in Ronaldo's old age. Because after joining the club of Al Nassr, the English clubs insulted Ronaldo very badly. But by playing at home, Ronaldo has given England a tooth-breaking reply, which I like very much and I am very happy. Things like that do happen in football. There are rules and precautions for some act in football and this rules did not favor Ronaldo in England but he was just so confident of himself such that he forgot about his age. Forcing Himself to get the glory that young players deserve is the main reason. Another problem was his rude way of approaching Manchester united set back ( facilities) England did not insult him, just that CR7 wasn't lucky in england |

There has been a lot of difference between the League One teams. Like most of the teams are not getting along with the PSG team. Basically what I'm trying to say is that Ligue 1 needs to improve a lot with some teams that can compete with PSG teams so the league is going to be really solid.
Punishing PSG for being so much better than others wouldn't be an ideal solution though. Think about it, PSG is obviously so much better, and yet they are not getting the UCL title neither, which shows that as a league they need to improve. When you overlap la liga or premier league there, you see how big the difference is even to the last team, this is why they need to do a lot better. I personally believe that the best way to do this would be helping financially, they need to figure out that having long term investments that pay off would be better. Like Bundesliga and Bayern, they didn't become this good by buying and selling players only, they had long term amazing projects that paid off. PSG is playing much better than other teams in Ligue 1. Even without Messi-Neymar in the PSG team, the team has the ability to secure League One victory. Because the PSG team is much ahead of the other comparable teams. PSG still remains the best club in the France league. They have dominated the league for a very long time and till today their height of achievement remains the same even with the arrival of the three duo. If u ask me I will say PSG has remain the same cuz they have not reached the height which they desire before going to spend that much in getting the three world class players. Their dominance is only in the local league level and this shows how weak the league is. |

He is literally the most important player for PSG so I wonder how long they will be able to keep him. Because being eliminated in the Champions League this early must have made Mbappe really frustrated. Real Madrid would be in line to sign him for sure.
we can not rule out the fact that Mbappe is really have dream to be champions league title. he has felt he couldn't get it in club where don't have mental for that. the only way is to move and switch to another club like Madrid. On another side, Madrid is try to building the dream team, a new Galacticos v.3.0, where they want to try to create a new dream team attacker, Mbappe-Haaland. Which I think is not imposible to happen because they have unlimited money where they can print it on anytime. Yeah this is a fact about Mbappe. It looks like he really wants to win the Champions League title with PSG as well. Actually they had another chance to go for it this season but they failed really hard. They have been eliminated so early I mean. Their opponent was Bayern Munich of course which was another big title contender. But still PSG should have performed much better against them. I think Mbappe's decision might depend on whether their current manager is changed or not. I also don't think Galtier is the right manager for this team. If they bring a manager like Zidane for example then Mbappe would definitely like to stay for a long time. One factual truth about Kylian Mbappe's football ambitions is to win the Champions League and it's been long ago he thinks his dream might not be achieved with the Paris Saint Germain and that was why he was very close to join Real Madrid last summer and if not for the huge financial package from Paris Saint Germain's management to make him the highest paid player in the planet as of that time he might not have been playing their this season and the fact that PSG still failed to lift the only major trophy that has eluded him as player for both club and country this season, keeping him at the club beyond the summer will be a very difficult but not impossible anyway |

The favor factor to Napoli is huge. Benfica has also not achieved European success for a long time. Looking at the CL victory, Porto is the last team to win the CL under Mourinho's leadership. I thought somewhere around 2009. The chance is quite small that Benfica will do this, but the game against Inter Milan is a 50% game in which Benfica could really continue. And also important for the coefficient list that Benfica puts in a good result. For itself but also for competitor Porto. Napoli seems to me clearly too strong for Benfica and Inter Milan, but the differences are not extreme.
Benfica has been the dark horse of the UEFA Champions League competition this season and they'll want to progress beyond the quarter final stage which is they'll be a hard nut to crack for Napoli But Napoli knows what is at stake already and I think they're equal to the task. The attacking and entertaining style of football we have seen so far from the Napoli team this season makes one of the best teams remaining in the competition and judging by their own route to the final this season, I'll be very shocked not to see them play in Istanbul come May |

We don't know yet about whether the speculation about Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid in the summer is certain or not for now. Therefore I wouldn't like to be confident about such action to be taken already now. Of course there is no way they are catching up with Barcelona in the La Liga in the remaining part of the season. But they are still a part of the Champions League title race.
This is an important point for them. If they win this title once again then maybe Ancelotti might be motivated to stay for one more season at least. If he doesn't have some other plans maybe there would still be a chance. I wonder what they are planning to do if he leaves. The rumours related to Nagelsmann seem really interesting.
No, I didn't expect him to leave. He's a good coach for Madrid. This season has been a difficult season for him. Anceloti does not have the desired players. So naturally, maybe he can lose the championship in La Liga. Real Madrid did not get any new additions. It was very clearly influential, comparing Real Madrid and Barcelona very far. But if he leaves it is his or management's decision. But terminating the contract because of lack of achievement, should the management be aware. Anceloti hasn't earned much spending money this season. One established fact about Real Madrid when it comes to their managerial position is that they can sack their manager immediately they sense that he ain't getting good results for them and they'll do that despite your personal relationship and your past records for the club in terms of winning trophies. So if Carlo Ancelotti fails to win a silverware this season, he might want to honourably resign by himself instead of waiting to be sacked by the club. So if he truly wants to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu beyond the season, he must try to win the UEFAChampions League trophy |

Manchester United vs Newcastle, Manchester United really has the outstanding points over Newcastle. For now we can't compare the past match with this news tournaments because players in the various teams are doing well these days. As you said, EFL is different from different from premier league, they meet different skills for the two tournaments or seasons. In any occasion, I will choose Manchester United to Newcastle. I still consider Manchester United as the favorite to win this game. I want I know about Manchester United this season their level of performance keeps increasing as the day counts. Manchester United will defeat Newcastle, Manchester United has better squad than Newcastle. Manchester united should take this game serious so that they don't drop points. Though,I know that it will be impossible for Newcastle to win the match but we cannot underestimate Newcastle who have started this season with good performance. Manchester united has more advantage to win this game but nobody knows what will happen since Manchester united are not adding more effort to win the league and in EPL games,they are not taking serious like Europa. Casemiro is another problem as he is not regular in matches due to card offenses Manchester United is understandably better than Newcastle United judging by their current form and general performance this week. They also have player of higher quality than Newcastle but that shouldn't be a reason to think that it'll be impossible for Newcastle to win the match. Newcastle have had a great season so far and they know how to get good results that's why they're in 5th position in the table so for Manchester United to win that game, they must play to their full strength |

Their performance is average even with the deduction. It is an ok performance for them. They have been a club for several years to score 90 points and even more than that per season. So even if you add those deducted points back, they wouldn't make it 90 points. They have performed below par and now I wonder what they are going to do to improve the squad for the upcoming season. First and foremost they must try to qualify for the Champions League or otherwise it will be hard to sign any stars. Nobody will go there and not be able to play the Champions League.
if it wasn't for the point deduction surely juventus would be the second team to perform well in serie A this season. but the scandal that hit their team made them get a penalty from the FIGC which made Juventus slightly off balance in the standing table. Allegri is a great coach he was able to get Juventus back to a good ranking in the standings table where they were almost able to get into the top 4 because the point difference is not too far from the top 4 teams. juventus still has 2 chances to get a trophy this season namely in the Europa league and in the Italian cup. well, most likely Juventus will focus more on all their strength only for the Europa League and improve their ranking position in the Serie A standings table. Algeria has really tried. Even with the current situation at hand juvenrus is in position better than many strong Italiann sides. But speaking of a title this season I'm not sure it will happen cuz Europa league still have strong contenders who's hope are completely lose in the domestic league. They are very hungry to win the title at all cost. I will say it is just one chance not 2, Napoli has already been written down as serie a next champions awaiting the announcement. The only possible chance is the Europa league. |
