Real Madrid have decided to move on with Kroos and Modric for one more season you know. After this decision I wonder if they both will still be in the starting eleven in most of their games. Or maybe Real Madrid will decide to play with the youngsters they have brought here more often. Because in my opinion it would be the best for Real Madrid to give the most chances to the young ones.

There are really skilled midfielders like Tchouameni and Camavinga. They can both do a really great job together. Kroos and Modric can still be preferred depending on the performances of those youngsters of course.
Next season should be a time to rebuild and rejuvenate the Real Madrid team. Most of the players are aging which will make them underperform. These old players shouldn't be allowed to play consistently because younger players should be allowed to feature. Even players like Karim Benzema, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, etc are not totally fit. Younger players that have been kept on the bench and others that will be signed should be allowed to play games, maybe as substitute until they become more experience. The coach can ration these players in different competitions. If nothing is done to reshape the Real team, the club might go through some challenges in the nearest future.
Against what other people might think, I am of the opinion that the reason that Madrid lost woefully to Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals is because Madrid opted to play with their experienced old midfielders rather than to use the young vibrant midfielders to match the energy and speed of Manchester City.

Even if Madrid have to continue with Modric and Tony Cruz in the midfield for next season, they do not have to play almost every matches. In fact, they should be coming from bench unless for some tactical matches that their experience would be needed. Strength is a major factor in the Midfield rather than experience.

The match between Inter Milan and Manchester City is our focus today because of the struggle for the Champions League trophy which is quite prestigious, I also think that Inter Milan will face a very difficult match against Manchester City, progress and achievements obtained by Mancaster City this season. Good.
Inzhagi has a good victory in her domestic league in their last match and the semi -finals at the Semi Final Champion not giving AC Milan the chance to win.
This is not just a match for the trophy but risking the reputation of its domestic league between Serie A and the League Prmer.
The final match of Inter vs Manchester City will happen on the next month, there are still next 20 days to focus in this match, not only today.

Manchester City didn't even obtain any achievement in this season, Manchester City lost against Southampton on the Carabao Cup. Actually Inter has an achievement in this season, they won the Italian Super Cup where they were beat Milan for 3-0.

Milan was really poor in the last 10 matches, it's not because Inter is improving.

So what you're talking about? Huh
No matter the kind of analysis and statistics you might bring in in the Champions League finals between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Everyone knows very well that city is a better club than Inter Milan. Even Inter themselves knows about this. It is not all about the seasons success so far. In fact, I don't think that there is any club that will be more successful that Manchester City this season. The English Premier League is 90% done, The champions league is almost done and they are in the finals of the English Premier League FA Cup. So what are you talking about?

It is quite unfortunate how Tottenham Hotspur decided to end the season. When this year's Premier League season started Tottenham was one of the club's that started it very well.
With the kind of preparation and the kind of training that their coach gave to their players. It was very obvious that they were prepared to at least win a trophy this season, which was the promise Konte gave to Kane that kept him in the club. But at the long run, the club management fell out of love with their coach and sacked him. Now, it is becoming more obvious that Tottenham is not featuring in any European competition, not even the conference League, which is a very poor statistics for Tottenham. I doubt that their star player will still remain with them for next season.

[....] also Barcelona won the title while they had a coach without experience like Xavi who coached Barcelona for the first and he won the La Liga title in the first time of coaching Barcelona.

Xavi is not an inexperienced manager as he had previously managed Al-Sadd In Qatar's League so yeah it's not like he directly came onto managing a side like Barcelona. However it was first time managing a bit club and in a big league so certainly it was lot of pressure but he did handled well and helped Barcelona win La Liga after 3 years which is massive. Next season, its CL also and they will be defending the title so lot will be expected from Xavi.
I will not also regard Xavi Hernandez as an inexperienced coach. He had had some coaching experiences though in lower divisions before he handled Barcelona. And right from the time he took over as Barcelona head coach, he has been doing well, except in the European competitions. I believe with the confidence he has gotten from the La Liga championship win, he will improve his European competition by  competition success by next season.

That depends on the napoli itself. I meant if the president of napoli is not even interesting to sell him and osimhen will be staying at napoli for another season but it must be noted if napoli will be in a big lose caused by it will be also missing osimhen with free transfer and i guess that there will be many clubs interested to sign him. Osimhen is not even trying to take the contract extension that already offered by napoli. He was still trying to monitor the situation that is still happening around him.

At present they even plan to extend the contract even though in this case there is still no agreement between Napoli and the agent from Osimhen. But on the other hand, at this time, with a large clause, even if it is possible to retain Osimhen, but when he wants to leave, I think there are still many possibilities for that, because of course the teams that are interested in Osimhen will obviously do everything they can even if the price is expensive if they are really interested this player.
If Victor knows what is good for him, he should not extend his contract at Napoli, he is at the prime of his career now, nobody knows what will happen in the next season. This is the right time for him to move and make money, set the record. Probably the most expensive African player. And have a new challenge in his career.
The problem we have is that he will always want to be the first choice striker of any every Club, then a club like Madrid will not go for him because they will still depend on Benzema at least one more season. However, Victor should be able to move now that his ship is sailing.

Alonso really made a team in the end from Leverkusen after a terrible start and they survived and risen to a semi final and the season for them can be called a success. Mourinho is a genius and yet again he parked the bus and took his team to final and we all know he dosent lose them

Bus well parked by Jose Mourinho. Any one that have known Jose for long now will know how tactical he is in parking bus when he’s already winning and just wants to qualify to the next round without taken any chances of going for another attack which may backfire. Nice game by Xabi Alonso side also, but the match was not just in their favor as the tactical Mourinho’s team didn’t allow any penetration into his eighteen yard box. We anticipate to see an interesting final this season.
Mourinho is unarguably one of thr coaches that knows how to play two stages of football.
1. He knows how to play any football that requires home and away matches.
2. He knows how to play finals
3. Let me add this, he knows how to park the bus as he was even the inventor of the phrase.

Haaland was ineffective against Real Madrid maybe. But if he performs solidly in the finale it would be a very special and unforgettable night for him. I hope he prepares himself well mentally this time. Because he needs to get better at finishing after this matchup.
The possibility still exists but if Inter can adopt some of Madrid's strategies, especially when the marking is strong there then Haaland may not be effective again.
The problem for Manchester City this time is not only Haaland because indeed when he forces him it doesn't go well, another scheme about several players in the midfield also having high productivity to score goals for Manchester City.
I do not understand why anyone will say that Haaland was in effective in Manchester City match.
How do you define in effectiveness? Even if Haaland goes straight match without scoring a goal, it does not mean that he is ineffective. Only his presence in the box of the opposition will give the opposition very high pressure, not to be stable and this will give other players such as Guodugun and Marehz and others opportunity to take advantage. Like the first match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, Rudiger was able to mark Haaland out but that created opportunity for Kelvin to take a beautiful shot.

Manchester United we have to secure a top-four finish today with a win over Bournemouth should Brighton not beat Newcastle on Thursday and Liverpool loses to Aston Villa today regardless of the result united needs to win two of the remaining game United who sits 66point following their win over wolves so far united have enjoyed a successful season with them winning the carabao cup and still in the FA cup final with Manchester city united main aim was to finish in the top four and secure their spot in the champions league but if Liverpool and Newcastle should win all their remaining games united may likely drop out of top four if they fail to pick all six point.
Manchester United will really need to secure their top four spot today against Bournemouth.
They are really the ones in pressure today because Newcastle was able to win Brighton and successful added 3 points to their tally.
Manchester United should be very careful not to lose today's match,. If not the speed at which Liverpool is coming with from behind, they will likely overtake Manchester United. One thing with Liverpool is whenever they are in winning streak, they maintain it for a very long time.

Nothing is impossible in every game and in fact Bayern Munich has been terrible in the past.
Leipzig actually deserves to be the first champion in the bundesliga with good performance in every match.
If Leipzig is able to continuously get wins it will be very interesting and not boring if Leipzig can reach the top of the standings.
Leipzig need to play at their very best and catch buying on the counter-attack. But I think Bayern will beat Leipzig on the day and it will be their title. However, if Leipzig wins, they are going to crush Bayern's dream. This is exactly what I want to happen. As a matter of fact I expect Bayern to lose to Leipzig and then on Sunday, Borussia Dortmund lose to Augsburg on Sunday. I know that football is unpredictable but with my expected predictions in the game, the league will be more exciting.
Every Borussia Dortmund player and fan right now are hoping and wishing that Leipzig beats Bayern Munich or at least draws their against them when they face each other this weekend but how possible will it be to stop Bayern Munich who are very determined to win the Bundesliga title this season?.
Bayern knows that any result other than a win risks their chances of retaining a the German Bundesliga again and it'll also end their dominance in a league they've been winning since the last 9 seasons so they'll do their possible best to make sure they win the game

-snip-
Man City played very superior, many opportunities were created by Haaland even though he didn't score a goal but his game in that match was very troublesome for Real Madrid's defense.
Yes, seen from various sides, Man City in the media competition is indeed superior in many ways. Even though Haaland doesn't seem to be able to move much because of his limited movements, Man City has a strong and reliable squad on almost all fronts. So that they are all able to optimize all the lines and chamces they get. Goal 4 - 0 against Real Madrid was satisfying and made Real Madrid suffered very much.

In the final match later, I think, Man City also has a chance to win if they can play very well like before. Not to underestimate Inter, but more to consider statistically and their current performance and squad.
Undoubtedly, Manchester City is the best team in the semi finals of this season's UEFA Champions League competition. Erling Haaland who has been banging goals for fun this season was unable to score in the two legged encounter and that's because Madrid defenders where very much careful with him coupled with his failure to convert the few chances .
They'll play in the final against a young and energetic Inter Milan who I think stands a good chance of beating City and lifting the UCL trophy

Good move from Newcastle to keep securing champions league ticket and Newcastle only need one more win from the remaining 2 matches
one of their players Callum Wilson made it into the top 5 list of scorers he scored 18 goals or 1/2 of Newcastle's total goals for this season
with one more win then their wait to compete in the champions league will come true really no one guessed.
One victory against Leicester and Chelsea seems like this will not be too difficult for Newcastle at the moment but on the other hand they also have to stay alert. Even so if it's possible they didn't manage to bring 3 points but 2 draws are also enough to keep them in the top 4 now and into the Champions League next season. They just can't afford to lose these last 2 matches.
I'm not actually doing too much analysis on  Newcastle finishing the season in the top four position because I know they'll definitely finish the season in a Champions League spot and I  said that after considering the kind of results  and performance they have gotten this season.
After their convincing win against Brighton yesterday,  it became of a reality that it'll take so much from any club to stop Newcastle from finishing the season in top four
5712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 19, 2023, 10:34:15 PM
Milan are going to play their most comfortable fixture of the season tomorrow. It is a home match against Sampdoria which have already relegated from the Serie A. It would be a huge surprise if Milan somehow manage to lose points here as a result. Milan are out of the Champions League as well so they have only one goal left which is to finish the season in top four here at least.

They will hope for at least one of Lazio - Inter duo to lose points on the same week of course. We are three weeks away from the end of the season so this is one of the critical weeks for Milan side to make it there. But their job is still pretty difficult.
AC Milan has important left matches if want qualify to Champion League spot standing next season, has opportunity to make close position with Lazio have 4 points remaining. Facing the relegation team, Sampdoria should be easy for Milan winning this games but seems difference last several games has inconsistent performance. Milan on difficult position right now remaining 4 points left with Lazio and has matches left against Juventus, they need winning all matches left if want back to Champion League spot position and Lazio has loss points on their three matches left actually against Inter Milan.

Regarding last season, Milan has poor performance in this season not only failure in Champion League but also they will loss Champion League spot standing if three matches left can't has better performance.
Currently, AC Milan would have to win all their remaining league fixtures of the season and hope that either Lazio drops 5 points or Inter drops 6 points respectively to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League competition and that I think will be very difficult for the to achieve.
Lazio had had a good campaign in the league and would do anything possible to make sure they finish the season in the top four position while Inter who beat AC Milan to qualify for the UCL final, would also want to finish the season in the top four position

Sevilla made it to the final, albeit extra time, and they will play in the final match as my biggest favourite. I think they will get the trophy. They struggled a bit against Juventus, but things like that happen in the semi-finals. Now they will play with an Italian team again. Spanish teams dominate the Italian teams in general. Sevilla's squad depth is very good. In the game against Juventus, the players who entered the game later scored both goals. It shows the squad depth.
The final match will be very good. Two big clubs will play. Sevilla plays every year to win this trophy and they are very successful. I don't think they will leave the trophy to Roma.

 
I can't believe and I could never predict seeing Sevilla in the Europa League this season because they had a bad performance during this season and in most of the games even in the games when they won, they didn't show a good performance but this time they're going to face Roma and Mourinho who is a coach with lots of experience and I think Sevilla is going to win this game in the final match.
Against all odds Sevilla made it to the final of this season's  UEFA Europa League competition and deserves all the credits and praises they are getting at the moment . One thing I've learnt about European club competitions is that somehow, clubs with better experience in the respective competitions tends to perform better than opponents with lesser experience and sometimes current form of the both teams doesn't even stop the more experienced to conquer.
Sevilla was actually not not having a good season before last 2 months but how they've managed to become finalist once again should be the high point of the Europa League season

Barcelona indeed achieved their main goal for this season. However the next target will surely be to have a decent success in the Champions League. One thing is certain that the fans and board both will expect their team to not have much problems on qualifying for the next round after the group stage. Because Barcelona have been quite inadequate in the group stage already for a while.

Xavi needs to prepare his players special to Champions League games this time. Because we have all witnessed their incapable look against big teams. Maybe they have many young players right now but their potential is still more than that.
Barcelona won this season's Spanish La Liga title away when they defeated their Espanyol last weekend so in other for the fans of the club to experience maximum excitement, they'll surely want to win make sure they win their home match this weekend.
Xavi Hernandez has really done well with his Barcelona side this season but talking their preparation to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season, I think they'll need some major signings in the summer transfer window as to be able to compete with other European trams

Monaco started to get complacent recently and we saw its reflection on their Lyon game today as well. The first half was nice for Monaco actually but their performance got much worse in the other half. This helped Lyon a lot to get ahead and have a decent goal gap with their opponent as well. This 3-1 victory is really important for Lyon because they are still in the fight for the fifth position to qualify for the ECL.

Lacazette was again one of the bests of the day as usual. Since the day he joined back Lyon it has been like he was born again. He is sharing the first position in top scorers with Mbappe - 26 goals. Despite his high effort they are still not fighting for the Champions League though. Therefore something needs to change for them.
Lyon had to dig deep to seal this victory against a defensively organized Monaco and all thanks to their incredible goal poacher Alexander Lacazette who's been in superb form this season for Lyon.
Lacazette has not been getting the amount of media hypes he deserves for his extraordinary ability in front of goal this season and that I think is unfair to him considering the number of goals  he's scored this season in the French Ligue 1
5716  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: May 19, 2023, 09:15:09 PM
You guys in general are correct in noting that if every gambler's prediction were correct, they would all be rich. Gambling is inherently uncertain, and while statistical analysis and AI can provide insights and predictions based on historical data, they cannot guarantee accurate predictions every time. The only exception is those games in which calculating plays an important role.

Yes, as much as AI is really scary, but it's not for gambling though as it is based on prediction and there are factors that the AI can't get into it's system to decide who are going to win in a certain match.

So it's good to see AI right now, but it has it's limitation as I have said. And it will take away what we enjoy in let's say sports betting. Because we put our bets on the club or teams that we support and then we watch the game itself. So if our betting is base on AI then it will take away the most important aspect of sports and that is us, the fans.
AI might not be compatible very much in gambling right now because of emotions and other related feelings.
But it is a technology that has come to dominate, in as much as you can think it with AI, you can also achieve it. If such implementation is allowed now, there will be many flaws in the horse race because the AI will not be able to capture everything.
But I bet you in the nearest future, everything is going to be AI ways. So we should always think how to go Ai way even in our betting processes.

so the final will be
Manchester City - Inter Milan

I honestly support Manchester City and I'll make a good bet on it
I also think that Man City has bigger possibility to win this Champions league this season. it doesn't mean underestimating Inter. But we are talking about the bigger possibility if seen from how they perform so far during this season. Inter may have its experience of winning the title, but if we compare how the performance during this season, Man City is very strong and solid in every line. I believe that Inter will also struggle their best, but, I don't know I still believe that Man City is the one to win.
Manchester city is the clear favorite to be the champions of the UEFA Champions League of this season.
For the past Seasons, Manchester city has always had the award of the best team of the Champions League. Even if they have been unlucky to be the champions, This time around with the level of form, they are, I do not think that they would jeopardise any opportunity they have. They will pressure Inter from the beginning of the match to the end and it will be a win for them.

This match will probably be an arena for Barcelona's reserve players to increase their flying hours. Playing at Camp Nou Xavi will still aim to win but in no rush to do so. Apart from that, Xavi will also use the remaining four matches for Barcelona to help Lewandowski become the top scorer. I think it should be a priority for the Blaugrana to give their striker a chance.

Yeah they can also help Lewandowski become the top scorer easily. I think both can be achieved if they start with Lewandowski and play other players out of positions or adjust their formations for remainder of the matches and give everyone chances. But yeah with Lewandowski and Benzema going on for the top scorer achievement, I think helping Lewandowski is gonna be a priority here.

Not a biggie for Xavi. He can easily manage these things in whatever remains in this season.
The main target of the season has been achieved by Barcelona football club. Every other arrangement you are talking about is secondary and might not be  what bothers the Barcelona coach for now.
Whether Lewandowski is being helped to be the highest goal scorer or not. Whether the second 11 is being played, or not, it's not a big deal to me. Besides Lewandowski is leading Benzema with four goals. And in as much as he will play the remaining matches, I do not see Benzema overtaking him anytime. It is all good for Barcelona. They should prepare for next season, in order to be successful in the European football.

It looks like Manchester United are already preparing to offer a new contract to Lisandro Martinez because of his great services for the team so far. Thanks to him and Varane both the defense has been pretty solid. We see their absence a lot when they are absent. The recent days must be a great example for that as they couldn't win some matches while Martinez and Varane both were injured. I don't think Martinez wouldn't lean towards such agreement as he must be happy here.

However his current contract already lasts until 2027 so I don't think there is any need to be in a rush. Maybe they want to do this to fend off interests in him but instead they can spend the money on new necessary transfers.

Despite the criticisms from liverpools legend, Lisandro Martinez has  been the third most vital player in the squad all through this season for Manchester United. He's been brilliant, settled in smoothly and also a fighter just as Manchester United fans desires, all they see is a new vidic.
I'm in for him to get whatever improve contract but I hope it doesn't gets too much to affect his game on the pitch, if the board and management are feeling generous enough they should give him whatever seems appealing.
Martinez is not only good at defense, but since he joined Manchester United, he has shown in every match how vital he is in the central defence of Manchester United. Apart from that, he has been the only defender that has made a successful and perfect pair with Varane.
Lindelof and maguire in the other hand, do not have a perfect pair with Varane.
He deserves a contract extension with better incentive because of his team play and ability to control the ball in the defense . With him the Manchester United goalkeeper does not make many leg mistakes, even if he is, so poor in kicking the ball.

I also admit that Newcestle has always played consistently this season but it's common that at the end of the season many teams make mistakes and anything can still happen and Leicester City's hopes of staying in the EPL are also still wide open.
Don't doubt about Newcastle, the players may have received a big bonus offer from the club's owners if they manage to win Champions League tickets this season. Do you believe that will be a big motivation for the Newcastle players in the next 2 match?

I will not doubt Newcastle's chances in the remaining two matches of the season, Leicester will not be able to withstand Newcastle's desire to play in the Champions League and I believe Leicester will lose badly. Newcastle only need to win 3 points from 2 matches between Leicester and Chelsea, but their chance to secure a ticket is to beat Leicester.
We all know that in English Premier League, any club that is about to be relegated, always fight with the last drop of their blood and towards the end of every season is when you will see a lot of surprises in the league.
Clubs that you do not expect that they will win, will begin to win big while the big ones may flop because of the pressure from the relegation zone. But in this case of Newcastle and Leicester, I strongly believe that Newcastle's desire to be in the Champions League is greater than Liecester's will to escape relegation. So Newcastle will win.
