Am I wrong or did Napoli just sell? Did you just make a purchase? Isn't that too little for a demanding championship like the Italian one and the cups?
Maybe they realized they needed players a little late. We hope they can recover
Napoli was in great form at the start of the previous season. They were at the top of the table for a long time. But gradually their performance started to deteriorate and by the end of the season, they were in third place. They should have addressed their weaknesses this season. And build a stronger squad by buying the necessary players. But they did not take any proper action. Unless the squad is strengthened, it will be difficult for them to stay in the top four of the points table this season. After Koulibaly left Napoli so far it looks like Napoli only have transfers for the defense more like goalkeepers and defenders, then only signed two players for the midfielder and winger positions and the rest Napoli got players who returned from loan. Indeed, it is still too early to assume their performance for this season, but at least Napoli can win the early game with a convincing score at least it is still a good sign for Napoli. After all, no matter how high Napoli bring in players, competition in the race for the Serie A title this season will still be difficult for them. |

Am I the only one who thinks the Mbappe vs rest of PSG thing is a bit overly covered and maybe even just made up?
I always did think there were too many stars at this team but I wonder if media is exaggerating a little just to make it seem like the whole team is in trouble?
Personally I don't like what Mbappe is doing but almost the whole team is professional and even without liking each other they can make it work on the pitch.
I personally don't think their problem is too far-fetched or exaggerated by the media, even if the media only reports about it once but maybe I personally am one of those people who believe in the problem. The strong reason I believe it is because, Mbappe is still young but PSG gave him some privileges that would at least make this Mbappe stubborn, arrogant or something. So that disharmony in the squad will certainly be easy to happen, moreover the person who is questioned by Mbappe is a senior player who has won more titles than him. This case at least reflects where Mbappe has no respect for older or more senior players, this case is a bad attitude. |

With the improvement in current conditions, Barcelona should have won this season and could easily beat Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will still be in trouble because so far ahead of their match against Barcelona Real madrid players have injured Eden Hazard, Ferland Mendy , Dani Carvajal who in my opinion can have a bad influence on Real Madrid's game going forward because they have one less striker.
Yes, that's what I mean, with Barcelona improving it will be a problem for Real Madrid's movement this season. Even though in the first match they were only able to get one point, but with a performance like that they should be able to do better in the next match. Indeed Real Madrid are still better than them, but Real Madrid must be more vigilant now. Real Madrid are a very solid team because they haven't changed much in their squad this season, unlike Barcelona. Even though Barcelona has brought in a lot of quality players, it doesn't mean that Barcelona can be better than Real Madrid because every new player who comes in needs more time to adapt. but I think that with a lot of improvement in the Barcelona squad this season, the competition between the two teams is much better than last season. Barcelona don't need to be good to beat Real Madrid, if you remember last season when Barcelona weren't at their best and even Xavi started to mix the team in the middle of the season. This means that Xavi did not build a team from scratch and only took advantage of the squad that existed at the time, but what happened Xavi could actually provide a good strategy for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid 4-0. So if it's just to beat Madrid I'm sure whatever squad Barcelona have at least they have a chance to win, but if it's to be LaLiga title winners then of course they need a better team and this season they've had it. |

Lewandowski's absent won't mean much to Bayern as long as Mane stays fit for the team.Lewandowski was their best striker,even when they had Serge Gnabry at the team,Lewa was a player they couldn't bench because of his form and consistency in scoring goals.Most atimes Gnabry is always been left on the bench because of Lewa,but now,I know they will start using Gnabry infront,and use Mane and Sane in their front line,which will still be very good for their team.
Sadio Mané looks like a very good signing because he is adapting fast to the system of play in the Bundesliga. His absence is greatly felt in Liverpool and he has started making marks in Bayern Munich. Sometimes the absence of a superstar always gives an opportunity to a hidden or underused talent in a team. Serge Gnabry should cease this opportunity and make an impact in the team. The German professional footballer should work hard and ensure that he creates more goal scoring chances for the club as well as banging more goals. Basically the Bayern Munich team itself is already good, so when there are players with good experience it will make it easier and faster to adapt. I personally think Mane is still in a normal stage as a player, meaning his performance so far is still at a reasonable stage or not like a forward with a high goal-scoring instinct. It's just that Mane has good charisma which of course makes Mane look fine every moment. Unless, if Mane can easily score a lot of goals in every Bayern Munich match then of course his assessment will be very different. |

It's not too late if they move quickly in improving Manchester United's situation. All elements related to Manchester United have to do something about this team. I think it can't just rely on a coach alone. Players in the squad must be able to introspect themselves, this can improve team performance, if everything moves.
But the problem is, Erik ten Hag has expressed his desire to recruit new players for some of the positions he wants. But unfortunately, his target players always refuse because Erik ten Hag wants players who are currently in the team that will play in the Champions League, moreover they don't want to play with high pressure because the situation and conditions at Manchester United are not conducive. Therefore, I personally don't believe any star player or great player will accept Manchester United's offer because even, star players who are in their own squad wanting to leave, it's a complicated issue to deal with. If this is indeed a good thing for him then indeed he should work quickly here. Currently there are only about 2 weeks left for the transfer market to open and indeed if Ten Hag wants to bring in players then he must move quickly, especially in negotiations. By now it's possible to see Casemiro already in communication there although I'm still quite pessimistic about him leaving and maybe he should also be prepared to look for a defender to replace their captain for the rest of the time lol. They on a dilemma, I think is late to repair the squad when the competition begins. All target players have filled up and aren't comfortable leaving or changing the club. Ten Haq is a bit too late to put Ronaldo on the market which I think is his problem also. They must be realistic and focus on the squad now, I think Ten Haq should take advantage of existing players, the MU case is the same as Arsenal on 2021, but they can move on after maximizing the players. During pre-season Erik ten Hag seemed satisfied with the team's performance, thus reducing his desire to recruit players. But unfortunately, pre-season and the actual league get a very significant difference, with an incident like this, of course, Erik ten Hag and also the management will panic because it is not easy to recruit players who already have good experience. The reason is only one as I said before, with the situation and conditions of Manchester United that are not conducive it will make players will reconsider if they have to join Manchester United. Maximizing the existing players will also be difficult, because every change of coach at least they always try to maximize the existing players but the results are not always as expected. |

Tomorrow is the match between Umraniyespor and Galatasaray. Umraniyespor has been battling tough opponents one after the other. But this time at home. I honestly think there might be a draw. Galatasaray unexpectedly lost to giresunspor last week. This team might be a bit out of form. Umraniyespor, who struggled with Antalyaspor last week, could not convert the positions into goals despite finding positions and left the field 1-0 defeated.
Umraniyespor is a promotion team which is quite surprising because it managed to hold Fenerbahce to a draw in the first match, even Umraniyespor almost won in that match. That way, Galatasaray really can't play casually even against a promoted team, because even though from the odds side it looks like Galatasaray is the favorite but in reality Galatasaray's chance to win will still be difficult in this match. I personally might try to pick Umraniyespor to win, as this Galatasaray look to have some unresolved issues and they still haven't got their best form so far. |

Losers of the first week of the season are facing each other tomorrow night. Sevilla are hosting Valladolid and obviously Sevilla are the closest to win here. On the other hand there is an interesting statistics between these teams as well. I mean that their last three head-to-head games ended up with 1-1 draws. This is a point to take into account for sure but I still want to trust Sevilla about getting their first win this season.
The head to head looks like it really can't be used as a reference because Valladolid at this moment is a promoted team, which means Sevilla and Valladolid didn't play each other last season because Valladolid played in LaLiga2 while Sevilla in LaLiga. That way, it's only natural that Valladolid lost in the first match by Villarreal but about Sevilla, it was indeed a slightly surprising defeat. In any case, Sevilla will play at home against this promoted team of Valladolid which I personally wouldn't doubt Sevilla to win. |

but what happened last season I think was good enough. although still not playing consistently, MU has managed to compete in the top 6 of the standings competing with other strong teams.
earlier this season they came with better ambition. but in reality, it's not good. many fans are disappointed with what is happening right now at their favorite club. of course, the club management must immediately respond to immediately improve the performance of MU.
It's not too late if they move quickly in improving Manchester United's situation. All elements related to Manchester United have to do something about this team. I think it can't just rely on a coach alone. Players in the squad must be able to introspect themselves, this can improve team performance, if everything moves. But the problem is, Erik ten Hag has expressed his desire to recruit new players for some of the positions he wants. But unfortunately, his target players always refuse because Erik ten Hag wants players who are currently in the team that will play in the Champions League, moreover they don't want to play with high pressure because the situation and conditions at Manchester United are not conducive.

Betting on both is indeed the best in my opinion, because as you said, it is quite difficult to determine who will win. On the one hand Atalanta may benefit from the host status, but on the other hand AC Milan will try to get points there. Maybe this time I would choose AC Milan if I had to choose between the two, for several reasons.
Excited match between Atalanta vs AC Milan because both team success got three points of first match, Atalanta success defeated Sampdoria although played as away match and Milan make party goals against with Udinese 4-2. I think both team will try continue with good record to get three points again on second Serie A match, but I think Milan looks favorite and have chance for defeating Atalanta. Although not easy but Milan have good mentality because success get first Serie A last season after several years failed get tittle. Just little difficult for AC Milan because on this match Atalanta have advantage playing second match of Serie A on their home.
Both of teams get positive results in the first match and Atalanta in the last few seasons had consistent performance even they can able to play at champion league although they had decline position last season but Atalanta still considers as strong contender for champion league zone and in this match Milan slightly favourite although Atalanta playing as a host but most of people predict Milan will going to win the match so i personally dare to pick Milan win for this match because of their recent performance and bookmakers provide tempting odds for Milan @2.5
Going with the performance of the two teams, so far in the first match, their performance is good because they won with a convincing result but if we should consider their head-to-head statistics, both teams have scored each other in their last six meetings and AC Milan have had more wins than Atalanta. Looking at their current scoring ability and the squad in the teams presently, I think it will be easy to bet on goals rather than choosing the team to win the game so my preferred choice on betting will be over 2.5 goals or both teams to score as you mentioned.
About the odds, I don't think there's anything that makes it interesting to choose because the comparison is very close and it's still in the @2,xx range. But seeing this response, it looks like Milan is indeed the favorite team but I personally am still not sure which team to win. The reason is, even though in the first match Milan got a win but Milan's defense looked a little fragile in the first half with quick concedes in the early minutes of the match and at the end of the first half. Also, home and away matches don't seem like a big deal for them at this moment, so deciding about the total goals and/or both teams to score seems like a safe bet.  |

In Bayern now, Leroy Sane is in difficult time and he lost position there. It is very bad story after he moved from Manchester City to Bayern and had good start in Bayern. After all, he now is in trouble and it is very bad when World Cup is coming. Only 4 months left until the World Cup and Sane should figure out to get his position back. Else he will not be eligible for the World Cup in Germany team.
Sane left Manchester city so he could play more often, i do not think there was any other problem than that, but i am sure the outcome of his exit is not pleasing to him at all. In my opinion, i feel Sane had a better time in manchester city than he is having in bayern munich, i feel he enjoyed his football more at manchester city, and he played more games, there were times that sane was very important for pep at Manchester city, but i don't think sane has ever been too important at bayern, he has always been a second choice option. I think sane will leave bayern at the end of this season, he is young, so many clubs will be interested. Sané's contract is still long until 2025 and even though Sané has never played the full 90 minutes, at least Sané always gets playing time in every match. That way, I don't think it's a problem because maybe, it's also a coach's strategy because they have main players and substitutes with the same quality. On several occasions Sané can be placed in the starting eleven as well as a substitute, which means Sané is a flexible player who does well in every match. |

For the second round of Serie A there will be a big match between Atalanta v Milan, to be honest I am very difficult to determine this result whether it will end in a draw or maybe there will be a winner. Because in the first match they got a good result, Atalanta who seemed at the end of last season had a decline in performance but this season Atalanta seems to be back in good form. So, choosing which team will win I think this is something difficult because both have a chance for that. Therefore, I tried to consider a draw but with both teams to score, it seemed like a good choice.

Real Madrid started better than Barcelona. However Barcelona's performance was still good actually. They just struggled about finishing up their attacks with a goal. Maybe it was a really bad luck. But we would find out about it by next week games. Real Madrid might have lost points too by the way because they had to make a comeback from a 1-0 disadvantage.
We are talking about a stable team that is in the performing phase, so it doesn't surprise me at all. You are saying something obvious, definitely to +1 for your signature campaign. You are making a comparison between a stable team that won everything last season and a team that is trying to rebuild itself, it seems so obvious to me that it is almost trivial. No wonder when Real Madrid is still a club that continues to be consistent in every performance. It will not be balanced when compared to Barcelona which has just started from an alarming zone. Last season Madrid was in good condition and performed brilliantly, Barcelona made changes in the middle of the La Liga season to succeed in second place in the standings. Currently, Barcelona has not fully performed consistently, there is still instability in terms of players and finances. So I wouldn't be too surprised to hear that Real Madrid is always one step ahead of Barcelona. After all, Real Madrid did not make many changes in the squad so their chemistry is still well maintained. Unlike Barcelona, I think changes always happen in the team. so they still have to adapt to understand each other, at least these factors will certainly affect their performance in the near future. But as time goes on, I firmly believe that Barcelona will remain a strong contender in the title race this season. |

The enmity between the two most successful clubs in the English league, they even knocked each other down, on the 23rd in the morning they will be reunited again, at the next meeting it is certain that Liverpool is more superior, even though Liverpool travel to the headquarters of Manchester United but liverpol in these few seasons have played very aggressively, while Manchester United is in an unsatisfactory performance, in the two matches that have been played Manchester United have not been able to get points, while liverpol in the first two meetings only got a draw, it is certain that Liverpool will look for full points when they travel to Manchester United headquarters, if Manchester United can't make changes, it is certain that Manchester United will again receive consecutive defeats, at the beginning of the season.
Also, after Manchester United lost 4-0 by Brentford then Erik ten Hag imposed penalties on the squad such as not receiving time off and also, added training hours. I personally feel that what Erik ten Hag is doing is pointless to implement, because this Manchester United squad seems to really have a difficult problem to overcome to get the team back up quickly. I also feel the punishment given will only make the players more depressed, and like that makes their morale will decrease even more. So yes, Liverpool do have a better chance of winning this match, if that happens then Manchester United's situation and condition will be even worse. |

When it comes to Leverkusen they are really surprising people now. They had a really solid season the last time and finished the league at the third position. But now it looks like something is going really wrong with them. Actually their performance hasn't been the worst so far but they just failed in reflecting this onto the scores. I believe they can fix this problem as they haven't changed their squad much.
Yes, Leverkusen did not make a major overhaul in their squad and Leverkusen should still be in a good trend. But unfortunately, maybe Leverkusen are still not very ready to face an opponent who basically has an overhaul in their squad but on the one hand Leverkusen is not doing that. In the third match Leverkusen will play against Hoffenheim and this is also not an easy team to beat, but with Leverkusen playing at home, who knows Leverkusen will get their first point in this match which should Leverkusen get full points because Leverkusen are the favorite team in this match. |

After having to drop points in the first match, Barcelona will again play a match against Real Sociedad. This is not an opponent that can be underestimated, because Real Sociedad is one team that has the potential to make things difficult for Barcelona. Last season they finished 6th in the standings, this is a good result they got. If Barcelona play lost direction, defeat is not impossible for them to accept.
I really believe Barcelona will be able to face Real Sociedad. In the first match I don't think it was because of Barcelona's inability to score goals but rather Barcelona's luck, if you look at the statistics, there are so many attempts made by Barcelona's attackers. Indeed, Real Sociedad is not a team that can be underestimated but Real Sociedad's record of defeat by Barcelona is very high in fact, Barcelona at least almost always wins with a big score against Real Sociedad. But indeed, the head to head record is sometimes not a reference but at this moment it looks like Barcelona can still extend a good record to beat Real Sociedad. But if I consider the results of the match in gameweek 1, at least Real Sociedad who will play at home have a chance to hold Barcelona to a draw, but because of the squad that Barcelona has, it seems that playing away is not a problem for Barcelona to beat Real Sociedad. |

Looking at the other side of this story on the issues growing between Neymar and Mbape,it can in other words bring success to the team,because the both players will have a competition between them which will make them thrive towards getting more goals individually,and it will help the team.They will both be fighting for who will have the highest goal,so I see that the rivalry between them will inturn bring good result.
But I think this is a serious matter, they don't reprimand. I read in the local media this issue made the PSG Council have a meeting. I don't know what the result will be. But they should have evaluated their decision with Mbappe. Maybe if the competition is healthy and they still remain familiar it doesn't matter. But they were no longer reprimanded. Even at practice they don't want to be together. In addition in the last game Mbappe looked disappointed. In attack mbappe looked running but after the ball was passed to the right he then stopped and looked very disappointed. With incidents like that, I conclude, it looks like Mbappe is a young player but has no respect for his more senior teammates. Indeed, Mbappe has a special contract at PSG but it would be better if Mbappe also has respect for senior players which is clearly a good behavior. If it's like this, then Mbappe as a young player will be very dangerous for the team because he has the privileges that PSG give him but can't use it wisely, it's a pity. |

One goal and one assist in his debut game with a new club is a fine feat by Angel Di Maria. Now Juventus is in second place and this season Juventus is ready to return to being a team that will win the Serie A champions.
Juventus' performance against Sassuolo was quite good overall and Angel Di Maria performed with very good quality. Maria will perform even better if Paul Pogba is in the squad.
Angel Di Maria is really an important figure at Juventus at the moment, his role is really central, hopefully this player won't be too obedient to Allegri whose tactics are more defensive and often backpass, as long as Di Maria dominates the Juventus midfield I'm sure the future will be good this team, Perin also deserves to be given more opportunities in the next matches, the problem at Juve now is only one, namely Allegri. this is just my opinion. If you know Angel Di Maria not only provides assists and goals, but Angel Di Maria also has an injury which reportedly will probably rest in the next few days. I don't know if it will take a long time for his recovery and recovery but what is clear, if Angel Di Maria is required to rest longer then obviously it will be a very unfortunate event because Allegri was slow to replace Angel Di Maria in yesterday's match. With this incident also at least add to the list of key Juventus players who are injured, of course this will affect Juventus' performance. |

I'm looking forward to the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, where these two clubs haven't been able to secure maximum points from their 2 matches each. Especially when you see Manchester United so very sad now. Liverpool are in the same situation, only they are better than Manchester United. Will Manchester United accept defeat for the third time?
I think, although Liverpool look better but I still find it difficult to predict a match like this. Because sometimes, big teams who have a bad performance at the start against mediocre teams, they can suddenly play well against big teams. This is like the case of Arsenal last season but indeed, the problems that exist at Manchester United are fairly difficult to solve. Therefore, if I consider the team's internal problems, Manchester United is very chaotic, so in the match against Liverpool it looks like it will still be difficult for them to secure points. |

Frankfurt's performance in Bundesliga in fact is not satisfying. Although this is still the beginning of the season, they seem not able to perform as optimal as when in the Europe league. I don't know if there is a certain motive or not because they seem to like being more optimal and spirit in Europe League than in the Bundesliga. So far, for two matches, the result is not as good as expected. However in the second match, they could only make drew the match result. Actually, they have tried very well but they were lack of accuracy on the shot on target.
Yeah, Frankfurt needs to improve their quality as this season they are going to be in Champions League as well but just after two matches they already concede most goals which is not good for them and their journey into Bundesliga and Champions League with most chances they have not good chance into Champions League they could be eliminated from group stage so better give their best into Bundesliga and have better spot for next season as well. Now they are going to face Koln which is also having very good start of this season and this could be another test match for Frankfurt can they fight back or still bottom place is going to be their home for some more weeks it's needed good finishing from them for having the good number of goals. After all, Frankfurt is not a big team that has many achievements, its victory for the Europa League title last season cannot be used as a benchmark for Frankfurt to be better this season. Therefore, I don't think it's right for you to expect something better from Frankfurt because Frankfurt are not a strong team like Bayern Munich and Dortmund. But even so, Frankfurt have made a big effort for this season with the preparations they have made by having some new players. That way, I personally only believe that Frankfurt will indeed continue to compete for the middle table in the Bundesliga, regarding the Champions League I personally don't see Frankfurt having a good chance there. |

Leicester finally get their first player this season that Alex Smithies has officially became an their new goalkeeper and before moved to Leicester Smithies has spend his career to championship division and he has play 4 years with Cardiff City since 2018 with 90 performance on that team and Brendan Rodgers hope he will be suitable as the replacement of Kasper Schmeichel who moved to France team Nice but he said Leicester still necessary to buy new players to strengthen his squad
Leicester still have other goalkeepers who are still young like Danny Ward and Daniel Iversen, if Leicester dare to make a decision I think it will be better for Leicester to give the two goalkeepers a chance to get more playing time. Because Alex Smithies is also not a goalkeeper who promises a good performance because so far his career has only played in mediocre teams, so I think his quality will not be much different from the two young goalkeepers that Leicester have. But when it comes to players for other positions, then it's clear Leicester need some new players to be made into the main squad or to be back-up players but with better quality. |
