Is this real or just a story?
Charles was foolish. How would he trust friend up to that extent? That is foolishness. We should not handle life with foolishness, bet separately.
Kelvin is now rich. If Charles is not rich, Kelvin may win anything brought up by Charles, except if Charles is rich and able to file a law suit with Kelvin. But even where is the evidence that they added money together to bet.
Agreed, there is a reason why it is never recommended to mix business and friendship, you may trust your friend but that does not mean that your friend is actually worth of your trust, so we must never mix the two, even loaning money to a friend is a risky proposition and whenever I have done it I have expressed to them that I do not expect to get my money back, but that I will not ever lend them any money again if I have not being repaid the previous loan. In terms of business vigilance is the main thing we can't mix just because we are close to someone because business is business. We must be able to block this so that everything goes according to plan. Even if it is your own family, sometimes in this business you usually can't trust 100 percent because when you are given the freedom, everyone will become greedy. |

It should be in this case what happened by entrusting it entirely to a friend is clearly a reckless act regardless of whether this story is true or just a fiction.
When it comes to money, everything is possible, not only for friends, but even for relatives, everyone will become greedy when it comes to money and of course things like this are quite common if we believe too much.

Manchester may not have it easy against Leicester City either. At the moment every point counts for Leicester City as they have not started the season too well. Chelsea certainly do not have an easy away game on the program this weekend. Still, both teams should be able to win. Chelsea are already through in the Champions League, maybe that takes the pressure off the team a bit that way. And Liverpool? The gap with leaders Arsenal has now risen to no less than 12 points.
Instead it will be quite easy to secure points from Manchester City. Indeed, in terms of a review of Leicester's last 2 matches, it looks like they have changed the rhythm and continue to gain points. But in this case we must also be aware that the points earned were because they won against a team in pain so it will not be possible for them to secure points against Manchester City with their current condition. Unless there are some rotations made by Pep in this match. |

There is a significant level of drop in Tottenham's performance lately. After losing two matches in a row in the Premier League, they couldn't defeat Sporting home in the Champions League also. I don't know what has changed about them these days. Conte had a system that worked like a clockwork for a long time. Manchester United and Newcastle both were tough opponents of course but Tottenham should have been able to collect at least three points from these ones.
But it looks like this can be the week to end this bad streak for Tottenham. Their opponent up next is Bournemouth. We all remember how bad they are against big teams now. We can give the Liverpool example which they lost to them by 9-0. Maybe we wouldn't see such result but we should be seeing a clear win by Tottenham here.
Losing Kulusevski and Richarlison in the last few games made them seem to have lost their souls in midfield and the result was a decline in performance. I personally regret this because in fact they still have some pretty great players but the loss of their two midfielders was so pronounced in the match that Conte had to try several schemes because of the loss of those 2 players. |

This is a good opportunity for Juventus because they have a very high chance of winning. and this is an opportunity to collect full points from the match against Lecce. Likewise, Bapoli have a very high chance of winning. so no doubt Napoli can also collect full points from this match. and make Napoli even stronger at the top of the standings.
It should have been a win for Juventus but with their current condition even though in the last 2 games they have improved, I still have my doubts about them. As for Napoli at this time, indeed with their performance, of course victory will be achieved, especially in the last few matches they always display an attractive attack and of course it is very worth watching. |

For some reason, I am starting to think that we had given the new coach of Barcelona, Xavi a little too much credit which he probably did not even deserve. I don't think that the performance of Barcelona actually improved that much, to be honest.
I feel the end of the season will decide if we gave Xavi more credit that what he deserves, Barca have fallen out of the champions league to the Europa league, and it is very hard for them to take, but if Xavi still wins some trophies at the end of the season, he will get a lot of praise, and he will deserve it then. Xavi helped them last season, but managers have to continue good works or else it will be forgotten very fast, for now Xavi is not in many people's good books, but if he ends the season with some trophies; people will be happy with the work he has done. Xavi was not a very great coach as people saw him before now. The only great thing that he did was to accept to coach Barcelona even when they were in financial problems, at that time that Barcelona was going down was a great decision for him and he did not take so long to change the fortune of the club to a good one. The problem is that he may not be able to sustain the fortune and return Barcelona to that great club that everybody used to know. People will easily forget his efforts if Barcelona does not return to Barcelona. Previously in this regard bringing Barcelona back on track in La Liga is still something that is indeed commendable in my opinion but indeed 2 consecutive failures in the Champions League is clearly a bad report for Xavi. I personally wouldn't say he's a bad coach but indeed he still can't get Barcelona to speak well now. |

Barcelona's defence is weak as we have seen it in the last few seasons. Koeman could not strengthen his defence. Xavi spent a lot of money to build the team but Barcelona's defence is still weak. Xavi has yet to find the right player for Barcelona's defence. While Barcelona's defenders can play well against weaker teams, Barcelona's defenders perform poorly against renowned and strong teams.
It is because Xavi didn't prioritize buying top defenders. The only defender who is strong enough already bought by Xavi, is Kounde. But this man seems a bit difficult to adapt to Barcelona game/tactic. And he needs another good defender as his partner in Barcelona defence line. Pique, Christensen, and García seem not stong enough as Centre-Back who is paired with Kounde. I assume Xavi must buy a strong Centre-Back in the next transfer window. But it is better for an experienced Centre-Back, don't buy a young Centre-Back. I think Kounde is very kind in fact and his absence definitely backfired. Having Araujo and Kounde in defense makes them quite strong but when these two are not around this becomes a problem. In defense they actually have some names that are quite good like Alba, Alonso and even Pique but these players are now old enough so there must be regeneration. |

Sadio Mane has not been shown enough respect by Liverpool management. He was neglected in the Liverpool team. Liverpool has always favored Mohamed Salah. And after Sadio Mane left, it became clear just how important he was to the team. However, Liverpool is yet to find a suitable replacement for Sadio Mane. They have several talented players in their attack. But their performance is still weak due to the lack of bonding between the players. They need more time to stabilize. Also I think they need to strengthen their midfield.
There is always that one guy who is ready to work his ass up to assure there team se victory and Sadio Mane was that man for Liverpool. They clearly didn't appreciate his works as to how much work he was putting in to raise his pay cheque. Am sure they never expected such a fall in the quality of play, given the quality of players that are still on the team. Did Klopp really thought that Sadio Mane would almost wash away like Phillipe Coutinho. I mean no disrespect, his still in the games but, his unheard of like his times in Liverpool. Even best for Sadio Mane, his gaining the fans favour in the Bundesliga. Actually, in this case I don't really agree if this only relies on Mane but indeed in this case you are a little bit right, although indeed if we look at that time Mane did not want to extend the contract so Liverpool made the decision to sell Mane. Now it seems there is nothing to regret because it has happened, the most important thing for Liverpool is to organize with the existing squad although it is quite difficult now but that doesn't mean they can't. |

This is just a rumor that is being exaggerated because regardless, there has been no statement from both parties. But indeed until now there have been some rumors that indeed say that Manchester United are now trying to offer Ronaldo to several clubs and maybe if Napoli really want they can join but of course this will disturb their stability I think and I don't think Ronaldo will re-enter Serie A again.
I think if Ronaldo back to Serie A especially Napoli will have no impact on the club because his prestige is not soo good as he moves to the Premier league ago. Now, he seems to try to find in new escape, but in this case, the new club is like playing a bet if want him back. So, Napoli must think back for wholeness of the club, they must know what his value is. There may have been some increase in Sponsorship as well as some increase in sales of Jersey from this arrival but I still feel that something like this is only enough to pay Ronaldo, nothing more. At present, if it is true that the news that Ten Hag forced the Manchester United board to sell Ronaldo, it means that it is very difficult for Ronaldo to decide where to go next because until now there is still no big club that really shows serious interest unlike Chelsea last season. |

This is a great victory and indeed I envy things like this  Looks like your luck this year has run out friends because it was used in this win lol. But indeed congratulations to you because it is very rare to get a Jackpot like this and indeed this is really a very good jackpot towards the end of this year. But indeed in this case I prefer to say luck than error like your title. |

Ronaldo will be welcome at Napoli, but does Napoli need that at the moment? Playing and performing better than they do now is actually unimaginable, and with a player like Ronaldo in a team, the strategy will also have to be partly adjusted.
Napoli do not need Ronaldo or any player in January, they are perfect the way they are and the best thing they can do for themselves is to continue in this way without bringing any player in, and surely not a great player like Ronaldo, because it is hard to manage big players, and the coach may run into problems as he tries to manage Ronaldo, just the way Erik is having many problems managing Ronaldo. I have just seen a statement from Napoli that they would not be buying any player in January, so that has to be the end of this rumor, Ronaldo may not leave United in January, not because he does not want to leave, but because there is nobody to buy him. This is just a rumor that is being exaggerated because regardless, there has been no statement from both parties. But indeed until now there have been some rumors that indeed say that Manchester United are now trying to offer Ronaldo to several clubs and maybe if Napoli really want they can join but of course this will disturb their stability I think and I don't think Ronaldo will re-enter Serie A again. |

Ten Hag already has children who are much younger than the rumored Ronaldo issue, so in the winter transfer window it will have to make a decision for Ronaldo where he will go but there is other news that Napoli are ready to accommodate Ronaldo but with a salary that is not too big , will Ronaldo accept the offer? I don't think Napoli is a final decision either when so thinking could change the transfer window arrives.
Ten Hag certainly had better plans in the absence of Ronaldo so I think it would be the right decision if he left.
But in other reports I also read that this has not been fully approved by the club officials, because they have said they will not add a budget for the purchase of players in the transfer break which means that if Ronaldo is allowed to leave, it will indirectly mean they have to take advantage of the squad that has been left behind. there is now to resume the season. |

maybe it was better to give the golden ball to Lewandowski , he is a scoring machine and nobody stops him
Benzema is in sixth position regarding goals, he is a good player for charity .. but in my opinion he is # 2 compared to Lewandowski
WOW!  I had some kind of belief that Lewandowski was performing way better than other candidates to win the "Balón de Oro" this year, but viewing the comparison in table form it is obvious that the rest of competitors will have to work really hard for the rest of the season in orden to have any chances against him. I understand what you want but you seem to be forgetting something that the Ballon d'Or doesn't only come from his individual performances but from the point of view of his personal achievements with the team as well. And the fact that he's still been doing pretty well this season is true but when he failed to get past the Champions League for Barcelona and still isn't safe in La Liga it's clearly still an influence so I'm not really sure about Lewandowski. |

In fact in the first match when Marseille played at home and lost 0-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt, the result was that Eintracht Frankfurt could win at half time because the goal was created in the 43rd minute. Even though Merseille had been left behind by a score of 0-1 at half time, in reality Marseille did not could develop the game and even in the second half Eintracht Frankfurt were still able to dominate the match.
Even though Eintracht Frankfurt are currently bottom in Group D and I have said it before, even Eintracht Frankfurt can still overtake to the top because Eintracht Frankfurt only has a 3 point gap with Tottenham. Therefore, Eintracht Frankfurt will certainly be more motivated to keep winning and beat Marseille for the second time at this moment, while continuing the good trend of Eintracht Frankfurt in the head to head unbeaten by Marseille.
At the moment it can be said as a decision for Frankfurt whether they will only be at the bottom or can compete again because indeed this can be a good thing when they can win and have a chance to go straight to the top position. At the moment Marseille's performance is not very good in my opinion and this can be seen from some of their matches in Ligue 1 now they have to lose again and again. |

The Ligue 1 has become really interesting lately. The closest opponents of PSG in the standings are Lens and Lorient now. However even with them PSG have a five-point gap at the moment. They are already starting to consolidate their lead in the league earlier in the season. This is important for them also because this will help them decrease their load here and focus more on the Champions League title. It is a pity to see Marseille's performance dropping this much on the recent weeks. They seemed like they cared about the league more than the Champions League before. But now it is like there is no difference for them. Actually we see a change now because they are better in the Champions League considering their last results. For PSG I wouldn't be too strange but it will be interesting to see Lorient and Lens this season. They are very different from before especially Lorient. Last season they could even only collect 36 points from 38 matches played and this is clearly in contrast to this time where they are so strong and continue to try to stick to PSG. This is clearly a threat to Marseille because if this continues some great clubs like Rennes or Marseille should be able to play even better. Marseille really disappointed a lot of people, they were the ones that people had faith on to make ligue 1 more interesting, but so far i don't think that Lens and Lorient can keep up with PSG and keep the gap close to them, as you said, PSG will focus now on Champions League, Ligue 1 is almost official. This 3 defeats in a row saw them catapulted to 5th position now and of course this is not very good for those who are supposed to be the strongest challengers. But in the mirror from before like Lille in several seasons ago, actually things like this can still be predicted because instead of underestimating but sometimes teams that are predicted to be PSG's competitors in the end they always give up on their own. |

The interesting thing is that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona are allowed to make a mistake. In that case, either they will equalise or Barcelona will be 3 points further away, and they clearly don't want that, you can see it in their eyes. I'll be watching the Barcelona vs Valencia match, obviously this match is much more interesting than the cream match, even though the winners are more than clear if barca wants to get closer to madrid points then the other solution is that they must be able to excel on goal difference from madrid, currently the goal difference between the two doesn't look much different even though barca is scoring more goals madrid is an amazing team, in laliga only barca can compete with them, no other team is capable so that's barca's hope is madrid had bad luck and lost to an unexpected team in la league, although the chance is small it can happen The difference of 5 goals at this time does not make anything because Barcelona are still losing 3 points to Madrid. It depends on how they don't lose consistency because once they don't play well then their points gap will definitely change. For Real Madrid, it's still quite safe now because they don't need to think about the Champions League because they have already qualified but it's different from Barcelona. |

Barcelona completely destroyed Athletic Bilbao by a 4-0 result today.
Dembele was the most impressive player of the game in my opinion. Because he contributed to every goal by one goal and three assists. This might be the best game he didn't play selfish and helped his teammates score as well. Because normally we see Dembele using nearly all of the chances by himself and wasting many of them at the same time. Athletic Bilbao are really in a desperate condition after that good start to the season. Maybe it is because of playing many big games consecutively these days.
Dembele deserves to be player of the match in this match. Scoring the opening goal and then providing 3 assists was clearly a very good game aimed by this player. He did not waste the second chance given by Barcelona officials after last season was threatened with being left. And his performance this season has been very good under Xavi's care. Xavi was smart enough to maximize Dembele in this he understood what he had to do as a coach and with this Dembele seemed to get his form back. |

I'm a little surprised what caused Tottenham to experience a decline in performance, losing 2-1 to Newcastle was really beyond prediction. I bet for them in this match but it's really unlucky. MU and Chelsea's points are getting closer to them, there is a possibility that their position will be shifted if they continue to lose.
Tottenham should have been able to beat Newcastle but maybe there was a movement that made Tottenham's defense weak and read by the coach from Newcastle so they took advantage of that to score the second goal, Newcastle had not many chances but they managed to take advantage of it and get a win against a great club like Tottenham. Conte is trying a new scheme and for 2 matches they have done the same scheme and formation but this failed. The 3-5-2 formation is not very good for them and it is better to maximize the 3-4-2-1 and focus on Kane being a pure striker. Seeing this match with their new formation it is clear that this is not going well, actually worsening their performance in midfield and attack. Son doesn't really fit in there because he prefers to run from the middle of the field than wait in front. |

Honesty, I didn't really think that Nottingham Forest would be able to match the quality of Liverpool any time soon. This should have been quite an easy win for the Liverpool team. Moreover, they also got Nunez for scoring some goals, but he failed to score. I thought he was getting back to his form, but I was wrong.
Additionally, you know, they have just won against Man City in the last match. That's why I placed my bet on Liverpool, because I thought that win was going to give them a huge morale boost just before this match against Nottingham Forest. My bad luck I lost my bet.
In quality they are still very much different but in this match they could be better than Liverpool defensively and very compact in defense. Liverpool's quality is still very good but in this game they were like the usual clowns as they were often praised in last week's win against Manchester City. |
