How that is going to work? Currently the four teams with direct sponsorship from the Public Investment Fund are splurging money on purchasing players. These clubs are Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. There are 12 other clubs in the Saudi Professional League who doesn't have this luxury. And this means that the matches between top-4 teams and the remaining teams are likely to be one-sided. And now you are suggesting that the Saudis should just concentrate on just one club. That will be bad for the health of the league, I am afraid.
Many football lovers will watched Saudi pro league. Saudi Arabia clubs are favorites to make their league more popular. But they should asked themselves this question, if they continue to sign players, ofcourse there salary expenditure will decrease as the year passes by. These elite clubs that are fortunate to benefits from the Public Investment Fund. These clubs are the leading teams in signing players from European clubs, and they offered gigantic offers for both average and top players. We have top players that will be able to compete in elite competitions.
Actually apart from the 4 clubs under PIF there is also one other club which is also active in hunting for European players in this transfer market. Namely Al Ettifaq FC, this club has succeeded in recruiting 3 European players in this transfer market, namely Jordan Henderson, Moussa Dembele and Jack Hendry. And maybe other clubs in the SPL will also start to follow suit to sign European players next season. Because of course other clubs definitely don't want to miss the quality of the game. And yeah, the league will be even more exciting this season. And I believe next season will be even more fierce.

After going through various possibilities regarding Alvaro Morata's future starting next season, Atletico finally chose to offer Alvaro Morata a new contract until 2027. This agreement will be completed soon and Alvaro Morata doesn't seem to want to leave Atletico with all the circumstances. The right decision for Alvaro Morata to stay at Atletico because Diego Simione still needs his services to strengthen the attack line. We can see that the relationship between players and other parties at Atletico is very harmonious so that the news that was previously rumored to be leaving immediately vanished with this news.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1688807504468148224
Previously he was linked with plenty of teams such as Inter Milan, AS Roma and Juventus and even Inter Milan has been bid to him 15 millions but this bid was rejected by Atletico Madrid because at that time Atletico Madrid want 21 millions and Roma also showing their interest to him but Morata has been refuse moved to Roma because he doesn't want to play as the substitution of Tammy Abraham who currently got injured even so with Juventus that Allegri actually very liked him and Morata also personally want to moved to Juventus but unfortunately Juventus didn't bid for him and after Morata decide to extended his contract then the speculation about him will be over because certainly he will staying with Atletico Madrid until 2027
If only the financial condition of the Juventus club is in good condition then the club will definitely make an offer to get Alvaro Morata. Unfortunately Juventus are in a bad condition and they even let go of some of their core players.

And regarding Alvaro Morata's new contract, in fact he also extended the contract until 2026. And then this time the club wanted to add another contract extension until 2027. And yes, this new contract was deliberately made to ward off all the rumors circulating about Morata . And yes, this method worked this time. This means that this is the second contract extension for Morata by Atletico Madrid this season.

In your opinion, how true are the rumors about a hypothetical transfer of Herry Kane to Bayern Munich?
Apparently Tottenham have rejected the offer of 100 million from Bayern Munich and it seems that the president of the spurs has even gone on holiday.
Can Harry rest his soul and stay in the premier league once again? what do you think about it?
I think this is the most difficult transfer negotiation process in several seasons. Even I am surprised that Tottenham turned down a third offer which was £100 million. It seems that Tottenham doesn't care too much about money. They just want the striker to stay afloat. Even in the last game, the Tottenham fans shouted slogans aimed at Kane to stay at the Tottenham club. I think it's going to be difficult for Kane.

And Harry Kane seems to be relaxing in this regard too. He said he was even ready to make a new contract if this transfer market failed to reach an agreement with Tottenham.
I think if Bayern dares to make a higher 4th offer then Kane will go to Bayern.

Sometimes imagining like this can also build our imagination more and make us rethink about the future that will happen between the government and bitcoin. Because it does not rule out the first choice can really happen.

But in this case I prefer to choose the second. I love freedom. and isn't bitcoin created to realize that freedom. I don't care about the price even though it has to be stable at 30k even though that's impossible. But as long as has made me rich, it doesn't matter if the bitcoin price continues to be at 30k. Because I'm already rich and free.

It remains to be seen whether or not Leroy Sané will depart from Bayern Munich, given that he has been included in the list of players who might be let go due to the team's lack of requirements for them. Though Bayern Munich has made it clear that they no longer wish to continue their association with Sané, the player himself has displayed no inclination to leave his current team anytime soon. On the contrary, Sané has made it known that he intends to stay with Bayern Munich until the conclusion of his contract in 2025.



This player really seems to want to stay until his contract expires at Bayern (2025). But Bayern themselves did not rule out the possibility of clubs wishing to make an offer to Leroy Sané. And let the decision rest with Leroy Sané in the end.

What I like about this player is his speed in running while dribbling. Actually i ever wished this player was in Barcelona. Because I felt he would fit in there. And it just so happened that there was news recently that Barcelona were interested in bringing in Leroy Sané to replace the position left by Ousmane Dembele. And yes, for this one player, I think he is quite suitable to replace Ousmane Dembele. But in the end the decision still rests with Sane. And I'm pretty sure Sane will start to get interested if a club like Barcelona comes to make an offer for him. And fortunately Bayern will not mind releasing this player if the transfer price is what they want. Let's see if this is just a rumor or if it's going to happen for real.

Talisca is not going to ever take the first spot of striker in the team when someone like Ronaldo is playing for the team. Although, he can't even dream of taking the place of Ronaldo, but still I believe that he can play as a good mate for Ronaldo and they both can score some good goals without any doubt. The main striking power will still be for the Ronaldo and the setup could be very interesting when such player can accommodate him in achieving some good goals for the team.  
Especially with the arrival of Sadio Mane to Al Nassr, of course Talisca's position will be slightly displaced, if placing 2 strikers in his formation but sometimes Talisca also likes to be made an attacking midfielder at Al Nassr.

There are rumors that Talisca wants to return to Besiktas even though it is not yet a valid rumor only circulating in several videos, maybe he started to feel uncomfortable after the arrival of many star players, especially Ronaldo and Sadio Mane?
However, Talisca is still one of the sharp strikers for Al-Nassr's attack line. I think Sadio Mane, CR7 and Talisca will be mainstays in Al-Nassr's attack line. But Talisca is a player who can play in several positions at once. So when the position he usually occupies, for example, is replaced by a new star owned by Al-Nassr, Talisca actually won't mind too much because he will definitely be placed in another position without having to readjust. Because this one player is really flexible and good at placing positions and good at adapting. because he is an attacking midfielder and also a Forward. In fact, he is one of the players who can adapt quickly to the game shown by CR7. let's hope this player doesn't leave Al-Nassr. Because I still want to see Al-Nassr's top players stick together this season. Honestly I expect Al-Nassr to win the SPL trophy in the coming season.
627  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading tokens or coins, which one is better or gives more profits? on: August 04, 2023, 12:40:34 PM
I was doing some research on types of cryptocurency and discovered that we have tokens and coins. For those that don't know the difference here's a simple explanation, coins has their own blockchain while tokens rely on others blockchain to operate just like we have many top cryptocurency relying on ethereum blockchain to operate. My question now is which of this cryptocurrency is more profitable to trade or do you not put into consideration if the project you're about to invest into or trade is a coin or a token.
Why I'm asking this question is because tokens has a variety of exchange options to trade them on like DEX and CEX but coins can only be traded when they're listed on centralized exchange  and when trade are halted you can't buy or sell that coin that you're holding.
I think between tokens and coins they are the same if it is about for day trading. But when talking about long-term trading then of course choosing a coin that has its own blockchain (Layer 1) and has a constantly growing ecosystem is the best. An example here is Ethereum. But lately Layer 2 and Layer 3 are also quite popular. But I still feel that Layer 2 and Layer 3 projects will not be as good as Layer 1 which is the parent ecosystem in a Blockchain. So the answer depends on what type of trade you are referring to. whether trading short term or long term.

He is the second front-line player that Paris Saint Germain has sign after Marco Asensio in a transfer this summer
After Ousmane Dembele officially joins, does that mean Paris Saint Germain's chance to get Goncalo Ramos will fail? Previously it was report that Paris Saint Germain were interested in bring in the Benfica striker, several offers were made and the last they prepare an offer worth 65-80 million euros to bring Goncalo Ramos to Paris.

Paris Saint-Germain FC had Messi, Neymar and Mbappe last season. Messi left the team at the end of the season. And he went to America. In addition, Mbappe also wants to leave the team. He doesn't accept Paris Saint-Germain FC's offer of a new contract. That's why Paris Saint-Germain FC are making efforts to sell him for a good fee. So, the striker area of Paris Saint-Germain FC could be entrusted to Neymar, who is always potentially injured, next season. I think it would be good for them to make a few more striker transfers. Goncalo Ramos is a good alternative for them.
Mbappe actually doesn't want to leave the PSG club this season. Mbappe actually wants to play at the club until his contract expires until next season. And PSG actually tried to persuade Mbappe to extend his contract at PSG. But Mbappe has previously refused to extend his contract at PSG. It seems he already has other goals after his contract at PSG is up. This makes PSG a little frustrated with the current conditions. So PSG is trying to release Mbappe in this season's transfer market so they can get money from Mbappe's release. Because if Mbappe leaves next season after his contract expires then of course PSG will not get a penny. Because Mbappe will go free after his contract expires.
But until now PSG has not managed to find a club that can redeem Mbappe. The Arab club, which had made an offer, was rejected by Mbappe. And PSG once again could not do much. So the last option that can be done by PSG is to loan Mbappe this season. And there is news that 2 Premier League clubs are interested in borrowing Mbappe's services.

And regarding PSG's current attack line, it won't be as strong as when Messi and Mbappe were still on the field. Because yeah, Messi has left and Mbappe probably won't play much if Mbappe stays at the club. So it's only natural that PSG are hunting for a new striker. But PSG have got an amazing winger like O. Dembele. And maybe there will be a few more names that will be brought in by PSG to strengthen their squad. but I'm not sure it will allow new players to fill the void left by Messi.

Alvaro Morata has been one of the most rumoured players to leave at Atletico Madrid. The rumours have been coming from everywhere like from European teams to Saudi Arabian teams. But still there is update on that lately. Felix's returning to the team has raised these rumours. Felix is also in these rumours so maybe one of these strikers can really leave before the transfer window closes.

I don't think Felix would be signed permanently considering Atletico Madrid ask too much money for his transfer fee. Maybe he would be loaned again. If he doesn't then I think Morata will be the leaving one. Maybe he would return to Italy if there is still interest from there.
If Felix is ​​still not included in the plans of the Atletico Madrid coach, namely Diego
Simeone. So the only option might indeed be to lend this talented young player back. I really don't understand why Diego Simeone still can't include Felix in his plans.

And about Alvaro Morata I have a feeling he will still stay at Atletico Madrid for a long time. Because we know he also recently extended his contract. But it is true that Alvaro Morata is being courted by an Arab club. Especially Al-Hilal, who even promised to give a contract with the highest salary at the club if Alvaro Morata wanted to join Al-Hilal. and from Serie A we also hear a lot about AS Roma wanting Morata. But no further news about this.

Back again to about Felix. It was once rumored that Felix was the candidate Barcelona wanted if Ousmane Dembele left. But recently Xavi as Barcelona coach dismissed the news. Xavi considers that Felix is ​​not suitable to replace Ousmane Dembele. Between the two have a different type of game. And Xavi prioritizes players who share the same playing style as Ousmane Dembele. So that Felix's fate is still uncertain this season.

I'm sure Man City will easily win the Super Cup... Arsenal have a lot of changes in the team right now and haven't had time to get things right... City are a machine now and nothing can stop them... Maybe Arsenal can score one goal, but I'm sure City will do it several times... The 1.75 odds are a good opportunity to profit...
I don't think so, this is all different, Arsenal has improved a lot better while Man City was left with several players, in terms of strength Manchester City is still strong but Arsenal should not be underestimated.
Last season, the competition between these two teams was very fierce, and so is this time, I think both teams still have the same chance to win this match and win the first title this season.
This time Arsenal really can not be underestimated. In the pre-season match against Barcelona I saw something different from the game shown by Arsenal. Arsenal can win this game pretty well. Arsenal became more effective in taking advantage of the opportunities they got. Unlike Arsenal, which I saw in the pre-season match against Man United. In the match against Man United, Arsenal were really weak in finishing attacks. But Artera seems to have fixed this weakness and it was immediately proven in the match against Barcelona which brought Arsenal to a 5-3 win. Many say pre-season matches are not important. But I personally think the fight is important. Because we can see what progress or improvement the club has shown in each different match.

Arsenal can indeed be stronger than last season. But because the opponent we are talking about is Man City. Then of course the majority of us would even bet without hesitation on Man City. But maybe I'll have a little fun by betting a little on Arsenal.
631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 04, 2023, 11:42:28 AM
Currently Karim Benzema is the best striker in the Arab Champions Cup with 3 goals.
Karim Benzema continues to display his level, even after switching clubs. He has managed to score in every single game he has played for Al Ittihad. The competition at this new club may not much of a challenge for him compared he has been used to at Europe. As long as his body and fitness remain in good condition can break records there.
In 3 matches in the Arab Club Champion Cup group stage, Benzema has indeed scored 1 goal in each of these matches. So it is true that a total of 3 goals have been scored by Benzema for Al-ittihad. This shows that Benzema is still productive even though he is no longer young. And maybe playing at the Arabic football level will make him more comfortable than playing at European football which is more fierce. because in Europe there are always lots of young players popping up which will make senior players even more marginalized and lose the competition. But when he left Real Madrid, Benzema was still a much-needed player at the club. Because even now Real Madrid look to be struggling up front now that Benzema is not there. So I think Al-Ittihad have signed the right player for the club. In fact, I feel that Al-Ittihad could be favored again in the title race in the SPL.

Last result Zamalek 1 vs 1 Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo success become the hero for Al Nassr on Arab Club Champion Cup against Zamalek after scoring one goal on last minutes before match ended and help Al Nassr form loss. Actually Al Nassr not have impressive performance in Arab Club Champion Cup with result 1 won of 3 matches, although success qualify to next round as runner up standings place below Al Shabab position with collected 7 points and Al Nassr have get 5 points.

New Al Nassr recruitment, Sadio Mane success made debut in this games although play as substitute but he made good achievement help AL Nassr get one point.
The match was really quite tense because if Al-Nassr lost the match then they failed to qualify for the next round. To be honest, what I was waiting for in this match was Sadio Mane's debut. And I think he did very well. I think in the following matches Sadio Mane and CR7 will really unite in attack and get Al-Nassr back to his best performance.
632  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I Use Emergency funds or Sell my Assets ? on: August 03, 2023, 03:13:53 AM
As human beings, of course, it makes us potentially have sudden or emergency needs, using an emergency fund is the last step we can do, as long as there are assets that can be sold, this is better so that we are always safe and not worried about any situation.

You have spoken wisely human nature is predisposed to encounter difficulties regardless of status, and there is no way issues of life can be avoided. As for the topic, since emergency funds are set aside for emergencies, I believe they should be used to address whatever the issue is rather than selling assets. And the reason I mentioned it's best to maintain your assets is that they can help you in the future, whereas selling them is like cutting off your lifeline; making such a decision requires caution. Since its a free world anybody can  actually decide what is best for them.
I agree that an emergency fund should be used in an emergency. And as much as possible we should not lose our assets. The assets themselves are divided into various types. And in it there are assets such as future investments. So we have to try hard to maintain the assets we have as best as possible because this is indeed closely related to our situation in the future. Asset value can even grow if stored in the long term. such as property and the like whose prices continue to rise from year to year. So maintaining assets is the wisest in this matter.

I think Kylian Mbappe has secretly signed with Real Madrid. There is good reason to think so.
Really, how is that possible?
I'm not sure you have a good reason for that, but verbal consent is possible. So far, Kylian Mbappe is still under contract with PSG until the end of the season, so it is very unlikely that Real Madrid will offer Mbappe a contract (secretly) while he will still be playing with PSG next season.

I know Kylian Mbappe is interested in playing for Real Madrid, so is Real Madrid for him. The two have been linked for several seasons but no agreement has been reached as of now. PSG will obviously give heavy sanctions to Mbappe if he is found to have breached his contract, Real Madrid could also be sued for such breach if true.
The news that I heard between Real Madrid and Mbappe's side had only been having personal talks and nothing more. And indeed a club like Real Madrid will definitely be careful in this regard. They definitely don't want to get penalized later if they do something that breaks the rules.
What is clear is that Real Madrid have made a good offer on a personal level which makes Mbappe seem confident enough to join Real Madrid next season after his contract expires. And it seems that PSG has started to realize this. So PSG is trying to release Mbappe in this transfer market. But no suitable club yet. And finally, PSG is now trying to continue to benefit by going on loan to Mbappe
interested clubs and reportedly one of the Premier League clubs, namely Liverpool, is interested in borrowing Mbappe's services for one season.

By the way, Real Madrid currently seems to have a bit of trouble in their line of attack. In the two pre-season matches Real Madrid did not show good goal productivity from their forward players.

I still think that Al-Nassr needs to think about their defense. Look at the team and look at the defense. To make it understand better, the eleven there is worth 133 million right now, and I would argue some of them worth even more, but valued less. But 4 players at the defense and goalkeeper combined worths 7 million of it. So they have 7 players who worth 126 million, and 4 players that worth 7 million. That is a very very bad transfer method, they need to get a lot better players there.

Especially when you consider their two main center backs worth just 2 million dollars combined, you realize that they do not have any defense at all. This can't be good for them, the results will still be not that great if they keep this up.
Well what do you think about Al-Nassr I think it is very true. There is a slightly different gap between the front and back lines. Al-Nassr sometimes has difficulty stemming attacks built by opponents who have made it through the midfield. But fortunately Al-Nassr's midfield was very active in helping the defense. So the club's defense still looks fine. But it is clear that there will be certain lines here that will run out of stamina faster and make Al-Nassr's performance decrease in the second half. And isn't that what always happened to Al-Nassr in the last season? For now Al-Nassr's squad is good enough. But I agree that bringing in quality defenders will make Al-Nassr's strength even more superior.
635  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 03, 2023, 02:49:59 AM
I don't give a shit what anyone says, this world is overpopulated and is only going to get worse and worse as time goes on.  Just look at home much land we destroy each and every single day, to make way for the needs of human beings.  We are destroying are oceans on top of that.  During Covid during the harshest of times, we saw a lot of magnificent things in nature due to the fact of humans not being out and about and interrupting nature as we generally do.

IMO there should be limits to how many children people have.  But this will never happen on a global scale until it's too late. People mostly aren't willing to make "sacrifices" that won't benefit them directly.
Regarding the number of children each family has in various countries, it turns out that it has its own uniqueness. I mean the number of children per family in developed countries and developing countries is very different. Financially, families in developed countries must have a good life and sufficient income. But they are good at limiting offspring. Like per family most only have 1 or 2 children. But if we look at developing countries where there are still many families who still can't be said to have financial stability or it can be said that their income is not too big but strangely the number of children per family in developing countries is far more. Even in developing countries per family can have children exceeding 4, 5 or more. There are also those who only have 1 or 2 children. but the majority are more than 2 children if it's in a developing country. But in one developed country there is a population or heredity crisis like in Japan. So that the government there actually encouraged its citizens to have children and was even promised to be given special allowances to help pay for children.

I agree, the English Premier League this season is looking interesting, especially with teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal showing promising performances last term. It will be intriguing to see how Arsenal and Newcastle maintain their form and surprise us again. While Manchester City is considered the favorite, I believe other top teams will provide tough competition and ensure they don't go unchallenged. Expect surprises and fierce competition in the English Premier League this season!
Chelsea slumped in last season's match because it had to end in 12th place from the top of the standings. Hopefully, Chelsea will have the opportunity to get back into the top five and get the chance to win the Premier League this season. Manchester City looks like it will still be a very tough opponent for many teams because they have added new players such as Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol to strengthen the team.
Chelsea, who slumped last season, even continued to change coaches to restore the squad but to no avail. until finally the current coach, Mauricio Pochettino, seems to be more reliable in the coming season. Because based on the results of the Pre-season matches it turns out that Chelsea has a pretty good game. So this season maybe Chelsea will be much more to be expected than last season. But to break into the top 4 rankings maybe it will be a little difficult. But the world of football is always filled with unexpected things every season. So it could turn out that there will be a team that suddenly has a good performance this season. Like Brighton last season who surprised us with the improvement they have had throughout the season. I'm curious which club will be able to surprise us all in the coming season.
637  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 02, 2023, 08:30:22 AM
Having more children means having more human resources at your disposal. And a country that has more human resources will not certainly have problems such as a labor crisis. There are many positive things that we can actually see from this factor, namely having many offspring. But in every case of course there are positive and negative sides. but I want to look on the positive side. because I personally live in an area with a family that always has many descendants. And here life is so prosperous. I even heard that in Japan there is a child crisis. because there are rarely couples who want to get married and have children. Even the government there encourages couples to marry and have children. so that the country does not experience a child birth crisis.

Because if a country lacks human resources, the country will have problems and must be willing to bring in other citizens to enter their country to become workers. And in the long run it is possible that native citizens will decrease and the country will be filled with immigrants. Wouldn't that be a little uncomfortable. For the economy it may not matter whether there are many offspring or not. Because I feel both things are the same. but other problems will surely arise when there is a crisis of child birth in a country in the long run.
638  Economy / Economics / Re: Can CBDC users lose control of their money? on: August 02, 2023, 08:18:37 AM
CBDC doesn't give you control over your money. It is no different from an online bank where you do not have keys. They can freeze, unfreeze, spy on you at anytime, any day and anywhere as long as you're using their CBDC. Your life is basically under their control and they can do with it whatever pleases them.
We may feel constantly watched and indeed we will be continuously watched when we are fully using CBDC. Well even we will indeed lose full control of our own assets. Although at this point maybe CBDC is just an option for digital fiat. But if one day this is applied in totality then I might also think that freedom and privacy really don't exist anymore regarding our assets in digital fiat. But unfortunately I feel that people out there are not too aware of things like this. They will obey and accept the new system without much finding out. Maybe even more people are excited about CBDCs right now. Maybe it's the practicality and speed of transactions that fill their minds. So they forget about the importance of privacy. But even now people who keep all their money in the bank are of course under clear surveillance. But CBDC makes things much easier to monitor.

Privacy is still a strange thing to many people, what people are more concerned about in this day and age is to make a lot of money and then brag to everyone that they are rich instead of trying to hide it. So it is not surprising that they will quickly adopt CBDC without any resistance.
Quite frankly, privacy has only become a concern for us in recent years, to be more precise, since the advent of bitcoin. Therefore, only bitcoin users know to truly value their privacy.
I also didn't like this from the very beginning when I heard about the concept of a government CBDC, but CBDC will be something we can't avoid, it's inevitable because the government knows its benefits to them.
So true. Even today's young people don't seem to care too much about privacy. In fact, they prefer to share their private lives on social media. So of course they also won't care about a system that actually exposes their own financial privacy. Because from the beginning they did not care about financial privacy. And we also probably won't be able to avoid not using CBDC in the future. Because it is possible that physical fiat will become increasingly rare and one day it may even be withdrawn from circulation. But for now CBDC is just another option. So we can still avoid it. But with Bitcoin we can still store our assets safely without having to worry about our privacy.

While the teams are getting ready for the next season and they are in the training camps but there is a chance for some players like Bernardo Silva to leave Machester City and join Barcelona in the next season.
However, because of the financial problems they have there is not much chance for Bernardo Silva to play in La Liga in the next season and Guardiola doesn't want to lose this player too.
But for any reason, if Bernardo Silva leaves Manchester City there will be hard days for this team to find players.
It will not be so hard for a club that has won treble winners to find replacement for him. The main problem if it will be very hard to get a player that can adapt to the manchester city as good as silva.
The fact that if silva has been always contributing a lot to the club since a few years ago once he was coming to the manchester city. It will be so difficult for pep to let him go at this moment caused by he has become one of main players in the club.

City gonna be very hard in finding a new player that can adapt to the club like him. That's why city shall have done something better in securing him from another club.
Bernardo Silva actually already has a desire to leave Man City in this transfer market. Even a few weeks ago, Man City also allowed if there was a club that could provide an offer that matched what the club requested. And indeed there are already 3 clubs that want B. Silva. namely PSG, Al-Hilal and Barcelona. And in these 3 choices B.Silva wants to go to Barcelona to follow Gundogan. However, it turns out that Barcelona are not ready financially to redeem B.Silva from Man City.

But a few days ago I also heard that the Man City side conveyed their wishes to B.Silva that the club wants to maintain itself until next season. Because it seems true that Man City is having trouble getting players who can replace the figure of B.Silva who has become the most important player who is almost on the same level as Haaland on the front lines. But B.Silva's party in the news I read they are worried that in the next season B.Silva will not be able to get high offers like this season from other clubs. But B.Silva himself doesn't seem to mind if he has to last longer at Man City.

I personally also hope B.Silva doesn't go. Because for me just losing Mahrez and Gundogan is enough for this season. If Man City loses more then players I'm afraid this club will suffer a decline in the quality of play. Because the adaptation of new players will not be as good as the adaptation of old players.

In this new season, the game is full of competition as all the teams are changing players but somehow not able to score goals. I noticed that both teams missed a lot of goals because they were not able to score due to lack of suitable strikers. Meanwhile, Barcelona though Milan could not attack as much as Barcelona were very aggressive here. Despite many attacks from Milan's D box, Barcelona could not succeed and won by only one goal. Where the margin of victory between Barcelona and Milan was wide, Barcelona managed to win by a small margin.  During the game, from the first half until half time, two teams, Barcelona and Milan, were having a very competitive match. But I think the Milan team definitely needed an experienced and capable striker.


Xavi showed last season that he puts a lot of emphasis on defense, and friendly games show that he doesn’t change his tactics, everything remains the same, of all the control matches they played, they conceded only in the match with Arsenal, everyone else matches, their gates remained dry. So far, I really like how Barcelona play, I would like to see them in the Champions League.
So far, Barcelona's performance in pre-season has not disappointed. They can still maintain the harmonization of the game as usual like last season. In fact, I feel that currently Barcelona has a more capable level of attack than last season. Even though it was only pre-season, I can see that all the players can play comfortably with each other. There is rarely miscommunication on the pitch and apart from that Barcelona's level of defense is as strong as ever. It's just that Barcelona's left-wing defense sometimes has a few gaps. But because it's not the real season yet so everything can definitely be improved for the better when the season starts. I hope Xavi also prioritizes the Champions League this season. Because last season they lifted the Laliga trophy. So it's time for the next season Barcelona to fight again in the race for the Champions League trophy.
