1st game, 1st win for De Rossi and now Mou has been already forgotten.
Mou may go to Napoli next year.
We cannot judge De Rossi by his first match because most coaches are doing well in their first match. I don't know why Roma sacked Mourinho because I feel that he tried for them last season by winning the UEFA Conference League for them, and he has improved after their poor start of the season; nevertheless, the management knows exactly what they want, and I hope this new manager perform well to the management's satisfaction. I don't think Napoli will change any manager soon because it's not been long since they changed manager if they decide to sack the new manager. it may affect the team's performance. You made good points and that's completely right because we can't say anything about De Rossi and Roma yet because he is new to Roma and he couldn't even have any effect on this team since he joined there but he started the first game with a win and let's say De Rossi was lucky enough to have good start in Roma but Hellas Verona is not a hard and strong team and maybe Roma with Mourinho could even score more goals and have better performance in this match.  In my view, Roma fans will forever remember what Mourinho brought to the team, something they had never experienced before Mourinho arrived, so there is no way for the fans to forget it. De Rossi has recorded a sweet victory in his managerial career, and it will also be recorded in the history books by their fans, but forgetting Mourinho services in one match would be wrong. Because the team that was defeated was not an elite team, we need to see what De Rossi can do when facing Inter, Juventus, Milan and other elite teams. There is indeed hope that Roma can perform well in the future, with his understanding of the club De Rossi can easily make things better. Salernitana, Cagliari and Inter Milan are Roma next opponents, we will see whether De Rossi is able to be a better successor than Mourinho, and erase all doubts about him. I think that if at the end of the season De Rossi is able to bring Roma to a top four finish, then management should keep him for the next season, and see what he can offer the club. Apart from that, the Europa League play-off round is another reference for us to assess whether De Rossi has good managerial talent, so he can become a successful coach in the future. Now under the leadership of De Rossi, Roma plays a 4-3-2-1 formation, unlike usual when coached by Mourinho who liked to use a 3-5-2 formation, now Roma displays a more aggressive game by attacking. On the other hand, what Mourinho inherited at Roma is no less important, I mean in the form of players like Lukaku. If De Rossi can fulfill this role well, they can appear in the Champions League in two ways, finishing in the top four of the Serie A standings or winning the Europa League trophy starting from the play-off round. Mourinho dismissal was very unfortunate, but club officials did not want to take too big a risk waiting for what Mourinho could offer at the end of the season.

Wtf is that Bayer Leverkusen comeback??? Leipzig took the lead as early as the 8th minute and I thought they were going tl hold it down to the end and take all 3 points. But knowing the monsters that Xabi Alonso has created at Leverkusen, I placed a bet for Bayer Leverkusen to win or draw at 2.45 odds! At some point, it was about 8 odds for Leverkusen as the match winner With every passing game, I'm beginning to think that Leverkusen might actually go on to win the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich 11 years dominance is about to come to an end. You'd love to see it!  Once again Leverkusen won the game and this time they won against a team like Leipzig while Leipzig is not a bad team and they had good performance in the recent games we saw from them. Leipzig was about to take some points in this match against Leverkusen and make Bayern Munich happy. Still, after the comeback from Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso was happy and he couldn't breathe because of this victory he got against Leipzig.  A sweet ending for Leverkusen, managed to secure full points with an epic comeback drama, so all the praise poured in continuously for them. I thought this match would end in a draw, because Xabi was short of his squad due to injuries and a call-up to the National Team, but for the umpteenth time Xabi emphasized that they were playing with a collective team, not emphasizing individual quality too much. On the other hand, Leipzig tried their best, they were motivated to give Leverkusen their first defeat, but they were unlucky, because they were the ones who ended up losing. Overall Leverkusen was able to dictate the course of the match, they were also superior in all aspects, only lacking in the number of shots. A team built on good cooperation, Xabi approach is believed to be the key to Leverkusen success in maintaining their unbeaten record. Now every week Xabi fleet records a story that attracts our attention to read it, a story that we very rarely see in any big team. After beating Leipzig for the second time in the Bundesliga, the toughest challenges then are Bayern Munchen, Dortmund and Stuttgart, if in the meeting with these three teams Leverkusen manages to avoid defeat then it is almost certain that they will win the trophy this season. I think Xabi will try to beat Dortmund and Suttgart, as well as hold Bayern to a draw for the second time, that's a scenario that I think is very reasonable. Today until the weekend, Bayern will be busy with three matches, including a postponed match against Union Berlin. I don't think Tuchel fleet will lose points, because the opponents they face are very weak. However, if a surprise occurs then Leverkusen will be very happy, because the points difference will be even wider. But apart from all that, what Leverkusen has achieved so far has made us change our perception of the Bundesliga, we no longer see it as boring, because Leverkusen has made it more interesting. |

With the 5-0 home win against Crystal Palace, Arsenal went back to winning ways following three winless matches in the Premier League. This win has kept Arsenal's title race alive, and they will not want to lose another match soon. Arsenal has overtaken Aston Villa to occupy the 3rd position in the Premier League.
Fulham did humiliate both Nottingham Forrest and West Ham by scoring 5 goals without conceded, yet they're struggle when they face top clubs. Crystal Palace is nothing different with them, a weak club, so I don't expect Arsenal will join the title race just by winning with big scores against weak club. Although Arsenal has an advantage in terms of players availability than Liverpool... Every match in the Premier League is a big game because you are not sure of taking the whole three points until you have played your match and won. Arsenal is already in the Premier League title race because they are in the third position in the Premier League table, with 43 points and two points behind the Premier League table leader. I agree that every game in the Premier League is a big game. And sometimes matches that look easy to predict can be matches that are difficult to predict the outcome of. Even a strong team can lose to a weak team. As happened to Arsenal two weeks ago, when Arsenal lost to Fullham and West Ham. And yes, these two matches made everyone lose hope in supporting Arsenal in yesterday's match against Crystal Palace. But fortunately the assumption that Arsenal was weakening turned out to be not entirely true. Because they were able to bounce back and score 5 goals in one match very brilliantly. And now everyone's hopes for Arsenal have returned and it looks like Arsenal can win again in the next match against Nottingham Forest. It's just that this is the Premier League. And anything could still happen and Arsenal could even get bad results again. In simple terms, the competitive level of the Premier League makes all clubs very vulnerable to losing points, I agree with this statement and of course it is not only Arsenal that experiences this situation. There is no guarantee that the team challenging for the title will continue to win, be able to beat other contestants, and sweep all remaining matches in the future. There have been many surprises this season, and we have also seen several title-fighting clubs experience ups and downs in their performance. Arsenal, who have just won a big win over Crystal Palace, could be tripped up by Nottingham Forest in the future, this is an illustration of how competitive the League is. However, in my opinion, this victory is a signal that Arsenal is ready to attack Liverpool and Man City in the second half of the season. Week 21 has 3 matches yet to be played, and one of the most interesting is the match between Liverpool and Bournemouth. We know that if the Reds stumble then City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham will be very lucky, where the points gap will not be wider. I'm sure the four clubs hope that Klopp fleet will lose points, and indeed Bournemouth are currently in pretty good condition. In short, when looking at Arsenal chances of winning from the perspective of the depth of the squad and the teams they beat, Liverpool should also be worried because they are not strengthened by their key player M Salah. Likewise, City is still missing Halaand, these are all challenges that must be overcome by a team challenging for the title. On the other hand, I feel that the teams that occupy the top five in the standings should be grateful, because the other two clubs, Chelsea and Man United, are in unstable performance. We can imagine that if these two clubs performed consistently, perhaps the five teams would not necessarily be able to collect the current number of points. However, when these two teams have no chance of winning the EPL trophy, they will make themselves a stumbling block for the favorite team, I'm very sure of that. We will see how the Reds finish their match today, on paper they are much better, but underestimating Bournemouth is wrong. |

Sangat wajar jika masyarakat mulai berasumsi negatif tentang Netralitas Jokowi karena pihak terkait sudah mempertontonkan secara terbuka pada masyarakat. Dinner yang melibatkan Jokowi dengan Prabowo (Capres atau Menhan) tidak seharusnya dilakukan terang-terangan, meski tidak diketahui apa maksud pertemuan empat mata tersebut dan apa yang mereka dibicarakan, namun pertemuan tersebut dilakukan diluar jam kerja.
Tentu saja hal itu tidak etis dilakukan oleh seorang presiden karena cawapres yang mendampingi Prabowo merupakan anak dari Jokowi. Saya pikir sangat wajar jika rakyat Indonesia meragukan netralitas Jokowi karena dia memiliki kekuatan digenggamnya untuk mengarahkan seluruh instansi terkait untuk memenangkan Paslon tertentu.
Ya kan sudah sangat jelas dari awal bahwa beliaunya akan "cawe-cawe" jadi terlepas beliau sebagai sosok pribadi (ayah) maupun sebagai presiden sudah jelas tidak akan pernah bisa netral karena ada anaknya sendiri yang maju jadi calon. Seandainya anaknya tidak maju pun, saya yakin beliau juga pasti akan condong ke salah satu paslon tertentu. Jadi mungkin saya bisa bilang, netralitas itu mustahil dilaksanakan. Tapi yang parah dipemilu kali ini adalah terlalu terbukanya dukungan beliau ke paslon anaknya, kalau secara pribadi diam2 mendukung sih saya rasa masih hal yang lumrah tapi kalo terbuka terang2an tentunya pasti akan memberikan pengaruh kepada bawahan2nya yang sama2 pejabat negara. Saya setuju dengan kata “cawe-cawe” anda, itu membuat saya tergelitik dan sedikit tersenyum. Bagaimanapun meski tidak secara langsung di tunjukkan, kecenderungan itu pasti ada, dan Netralitas itu hanya ungkapan untuk membuat rakyat lebih tenang termasuk Pak Anies dan Pak Ganjar. Untuk urusan mengendalikan alat Negara, saya pikir tidak hanya Pak Jokowi saja yang bisa melakukannya untuk mendukung salah satu calon, bahkan setiap Paslon juga memiliki pengaruh pada setiap instansi di Pemerintahan, kita tentu memahami siapa Calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden dan apa reputasinya sebelum mencalonkan diri. Dalam kapasitasnya sebagai rakyat biasa, Pak Jokowi juga mempunyai hak untuk memilih, meski di lain sisi beliau di tuntut untuk netral sebab menjabat sebagai Presiden. Terkiat dengan pertemuannya dengan Pak Prabowo, saya pikir Pak Jokowi bisa dengan mudah mengatakan alasan apapun, misalnya pertemuan tersebut hanya sebatas hubungan sahabat atau lain sebagainya, terlepas dari Pemilu. Dengan kata lain, tidak ada hal yang dilanggar oleh Pak Jokowi secara aturan, sebagai Presiden Beliau berhak untuk bertemu dengan siapa saja dan diwaktu kapan saja, meski pandangan masyarakat umum menafsirkan pertemuan tersebut terkait dengan Pemilu. Namun kita harap kecenderungan Pak Jokowi untuk mendukung anaknya, masih dalam kapasitas yang wajar ditunjukkan di depan masyarakat, supaya tidak membuat keributan dikalangan pendukung Paslon lainnya. Sebagai rakyat biasa kita hanya bisa berspekulasi saja tentang dinamika politik yang sedang terjadi, dan kita hanya di minta untuk memberikan hak suara pada hari H, dan tidak memilih untuk Golput. Terlepas dari itu semua, saya pikir yang lebih penting adalah Pemilu berjalan dengan damai, tanpa ada korban jiwa, seperti pertikaian atau konflik yang di sebabkan fanatik terhadap salah satu Paslon. Toh pada akhirnya kita adalah rakyat biasa, yang menjadi pemandu sorak ketika Pemilu berlangsung, bukan dari kalangan mereka yang menginginkan kekuasaan dan pengaruhnya di Pemerintahan. |

Saya pikir semua kandidat calon Presiden juga mengatakan hal yang sama, secara umum “menaikkan gaji ASN”. Tidak hanya Prabowo saja yang berkeingingan untuk melakukannya. Tujuannya bisa kita analogikan secara sederhana, dengan megaitkan dengan kondisi hari ini, maksud saya kondisi menjelang Pemilu. Adalah hal yang sangat wajar memberikan harapan bagi semua kalangan, semua lapisan masyarakat, dan secara umum kepada semua orang sebagai janji kampanye, meski kita tahu bahwa pada akhirnya tidak semua janji yang telah disampaikan dapat direalisasikan. Ya sebenarnya korupsi tidak hanya dilakukan oleh pejabat saja, hampir disemua instansi dan semua lapisan Pemerintah juga mempraktekkan hal serupa, hanya saja belum kedapatan dan ditangkap oleh KPK.
Untuk saat ini selama penegakan hukum masih tumpang tindih, bak pisau tumpul ke atas tajam kebawah, menghapus korupsi tidak semudah yang disampaikan. Tidak ada periode Presiden yang benar-benar bersih dari praktik korupsi, hanya bisa di tekan angka dan jumlahnya saja, bahkan fatalnya lagi adanya isu bahwa KPK mau di gembosi. Saya pikir kepastian hukum lebih utama, sebab dengan kepastian hukum semuanya akan berjalan baik, pencegahan korupsi bisa diwujudkan lebih mudah. Menaikkan gaji adalah satu faktor penting supaya para pejabat tidak lagi mengambil yang bukan hak nya, namun itu bukan sebuah jaminan bahwa mereka tidak akan melakukan korupsi lagi.
Secara pribadi saya sudah sangat bosan mendengar pejabat berjanji untuk menumpas korupsi sampai ke akar-akarnya, sebab kita melihat hanya sebagian kecilnya saja yang bisa di tindak, bahkan kita sering melihat bahwa yang berpeluang di tindak sepertinya hanya lawan politik saja. Memang itu hanya asumsi saya saja, karena kita semua tentu punya pandangan tersendiri dalam hal itu, namun pada intinya kita mengharapkan kedepan akan ada perbaikan di Negara ini.

Menurut pendapat saya, pemilu kali ini tampaknya akan lebih mengerikan dari pada pemilu 2019. Bahkan banyak para tokoh menyatakan bahwa pemilu 2024 adalah yang terpuruk dalam sejarah. Dari ketidak netralan presiden, para aparat yang berlaku curang menimbulkan keresahan di kalangan masyarakat. Bahkan akhir-akhir ini beredar isu soal pemakzulan Presiden dan juga beberapa menteri ingin mengundurkan diri hal ini mengingatkan saya pada situasi peristiwa 98 ketika Pak suharto mengundurkan diri karena salah satunya karena banyak menterinya mundur dan juga peristiwa ketika presiden Gus Dur di makzulkan. Oleh karena itu, jika di pemilu 2019 banyak anggota KPPS yang mengalami sakit bahkan meninggal karena kelelahan walaupun saya sendiri juga masih bertanya-tanya kok bisa meninggal sebanyak itu dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Tetapi jika hal itu benar, maka pemilu 2024 kemungkinan akan banyak lagi KPPS yang sakit dan bisa juga meninggal karena kelelahan sebab pemilu 2024 serentak semua mulai dari pemilihan capres-cawapre, angggota legislatif tingkat pusat hingga kabupaten/kota, DPRD dan juga pemilihan Gubernur, bupati, dan walikota sehingga akan sangat melelahkan bagi anggota KPPS.
Saya sependapat dengan anda, bahwa ada kemungkinan situasi Pemilu pada 14 februari 2024 mendatang akan lebih parah dari sebelumnya, namun kita tentu berharap dan mendoakan jalannya Pemilu berlangsung dengan aman dan damai. Hal-hal yang menjadi catatan kelam di Pemilu sebelumnya kita harapkan tidak terjadi lagi, meskipun berbagai isu kini di munculkan kepermukaan, akan tetapi kita sebagai masyarakat biasa harus memiliki filter sebelum menerimanya. Kita tahu bahwa pada setiap Pemilu hampir selalu adanya berbagai macam pelanggaran, baik secara administratif maupun kecurangan pidana, Bawaslu dan pihak-pihak yang berwenang kita harapkan dapat mengambil peran maksimal untuk menciptakan suasana yang kondusif bagi masyarakat, dan khususnya bagi anggota seperti KPPS. Untuk Pemilu pada 14 Februari mendatang kita akan memilih dan memberikan hak suara untuk : 1. Calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden 2. Calon Anggota DPR RI 3. Calon Anggota DPD RI 4. Calon Anggota DPRD Provinsi 5. Calon Anggota DPRD Kabupaten/Kota Sedangkan untuk Pilkada atau pemungutan suara calon Gubernur, Bupati/Walikota rencananya akan diselenggarakan pada bulan November secara serentak di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. |

I've visioned Liverpool to become one of the favourite to reach good positions in Europa League. Liverpool headcoach, Jurgen Klopp have implemented one of the best collective game pattern in Anfield and it have helped them achieve significant titles over these past years. Checking the club's lineup, they have efficient players that can enchanced the performance of the club and bring out the best among the best performance. Liverpool can survived without Mohammed Salah in the squad, they play together and the absence of Salah will not pose any threat.
But Salah plays an important role in every Liverpool victory. He can do many things like score goals and provide assists. I see that Salah is also a player who can create opportunities for other players because the opposing defender will mark him so that other players can move more freely. I think Liverpool will struggle without Salah. Their next matches are against Bournemouth and Fulhan in the EPL so we can see how Liverpool play without Salah in the starting XI. I can't really say if liverpool was weak when it played without salah but we have seen that how jota played as a right wing and he has been performing quite well in the previous game. I can't deny that missing salah was a big blow for the club. It's caused by salah just like a hero who is always helping the club to gather three points since it was struggling at the bottom place. Salah is the most important player owned by klopp and that's why he was really shocked after he has heard that salah was injured. It was so annoying to see liverpool is going to miss salah soon. This is the problem that needs to be solved by the club. Jota could filling the position but his performance was no that good. Klopp needs to find a good solution for this and the secondary player was not as good as jota or salah. Liverpool must put jota as right wing again in the upcoming game against bournemouth. It's caused by liverpool has no good option other than jota. Im sure klopp is confusing about this right now and iiverpool may be buying a new right wing to be a backup for salah soon. Missing him was a disaster for the club. There was big concern when Liverpool played without Salah up front, I think Egypt also felt the same way, and are currently trying to qualify for the next stage of AFCON. Salah injury has changed many things, because his role in the team is often the difference in the outcome of a match, but especially for the Europa League it doesn't seem like it will have a big impact, because the round of 16 matches will start on March 7, where Salah will likely be available again. However, if Salah still has to be sidelined due to a long injury, then it will be a serious blow for the Reds. The real worry is in domestic competition, where Klopp has had to struggle to get through several matches without Salah presence. So far there is no certainty or definite date when Salah will be able to appear again, but Liverpool has updated information regarding its star on the club official website, which confirms that Salah will miss Egypt next two matches. However, the Reds did not mention when Salah would return to Anfield, but what is certain is that for some of their matches in the EPL, we will not see Salah in Klopp starting XI. But I think Liverpool will be fine, even though on the one hand they are having difficulty winning. Reference : https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/egyptian-fa-provides-mohamed-salah-injury-update |

But this begs an important question: does PSG need talented players or does PSG need players who are fully ready to rumble with the best of the best in the Champions League? They have tried different approaches over the years now to finally lift the Champions League trophy, but maybe building a young team that is hungry for titles would be a superior way to give their hope another shot. They did all kinds of stuff now and nothing worked till perfection. But now they are running out of time because once Mbappe leaves, the club isn't as great anymore for other players as well.
One thing I will tell you is that PSG has in the past got their buying decisions very wrong. They brought in players that weren’t needed for big check books every week. The likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe cannot be in a team that had such a below average midfield. The pivotal role in a team set up is the midfield. You must have that Defensive midfielder that disconnects counter attacks or intercept well, have a better box to box midfielder and lastly what they lacked importantly was an attacking midfielder. With Messi they had the most creative football in world football but still they couldn’t excel because the proper defensive midfielder wasn’t on the team. Imagine the likes of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar loosing a ball, we all know they wouldn’t track back like others and without a defensive anchor then the defense becomes vulnerable. An example is when Madrid gather a lot of galaticos like the kaka, Özil, Ronaldo, Benzema, Raul and the rest during Mourinho’s first season with them, this team were expected to win the Champions League and everything but they couldn’t because they couldn’t play together. It was when Ancelloti arrived and this star players have reduced that they actually started conquering the world and they won a treble of this competition. Same thing would be what should be happening to PSG if they want to conquer Europe. They should go for young players and build a team and don’t force players like Mbappe to remain in the team but rather palyers that wants to play for the badge. Right now though I don’t see them winning the champion league but with the few signings that Luiz Enrique has done then i see them moving in the right direction Overall I really like the picture you presented, and in reality there are many weak points for PSG in building a squad capable of winning the Champions League. Bringing together star-label players in one lineup cannot offer a higher chance of winning the trophy. Instead of winning a trophy, in essence they are like super models walking on the catwalk, what they are offering is a jersey. For the club income, the existence of these star players is indeed very profitable in terms of income, but it would be better to balance it with a commensurate end goal, namely winning the Champions League trophy, something that to this day is still a dream before sleeping at night. It's true that PSG must start with player transfers, promoting young players, and releasing players who don't contribute much to their club, as well as releasing players who ask to leave. I think that even though PSG plays in Ligue 1 which offers them easier competition, this is not an excuse for failing to compete with other league representatives who come from more competitive leagues. I am sure that if PSG officials and management manage the club well, without prioritizing image and popularity, then they will be able to achieve their goals. As an example that may be very relevant to the PSG case, We know that Bayern Munchen comes from the Bundesliga, which is still competitively inferior to Serie A and La Liga and the Premier League, but Bayern can hold the status of the favorite team every season. I think PSG needs to conduct itself like Bayern, where in the end they have a culture based on team unity, and not just individuals. Many believe that one way for PSG to realize its dream of winning the Champions League title is to build a solid foundation, with its academy players, once again not with star players who only play for money and fame. PSG must change its culture for the better, when PSG sends offers to their target players, what is shown should be one step closer to winning a trophy, not big salaries and luxurious facilities. I think there is no instant way to build success, everything requires a process, and under the leadership of Luis Enrique it looks like PSG is moving in that direction, I hope so. |

Crystal Palace has lost already, with the looks of things and Arsenal is in more control of the pace and possession. I like the fact Trossad could score to seal the win, although with few minutes to go, I doubt Crystal palace could do much.
If they have more chances to add up to the goal margin, they should because they need more goal difference to finish strong incase there is tie in point.
Injury time, and it's 3-0, Crystal Palace has failed to capitalize on their goal scoring opportunities, allowing the hosts to weaken them with a superb performance; of course, this is the type of match that Arsenal cannot afford to lose because they as well are hoping to enter the race. Crystal Palace lost and failed to score a goal for creating the game GG. They allowed Arsenal to take advantage of them without completely utilizing their power. Arsenal won while also dominating the pitch. This is a straightforward victory for Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Finally Arsenal can win again after 3 previous matches they could not win. A landslide score of 5-0 could not be avoided by Crystal Palace. Arsenal can create a quick goal before the time has not entered the first 15 minutes. In the 37th minute they can double the position through an own goal created by the opposing player. In the second half they were more comfortable and managed to create another goal in the 59th minute. I thought the score would not change because entering added time the score was still the same. But Martinelli didn't want to miss out on scoring, and interestingly he scored 2 goals in just 2 minutes. They should have played like this, because I haven't seen Arsenal like this before. If they can maintain their performance it is not impossible that they will be able to become champions, although it will be difficult to do. This victory they increased their points collection to 43 points, the same points as Manchester City, but Manchester City still has one match yet to be played. Arsenal convincingly finished the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 5-0, today additional three points have made Arteta fleet move slightly forward, overtaking Aston Villa in third place in the standings even though they have the same number of points. Now the Gunners are 2 points adrift of Liverpool who are at the top, because the Reds will play tomorrow, and the Gunners points tally is now the same as Man City, yes we know City also still has one match postponed. However, how fierce the competition is for the top four in the EPL standings at the moment, three teams have both collected 43, a small mistake will shift their position because Tottenham is only one match away from them. I think Aston Villa is the team whose position is most threatened, and Ange fleet has a big chance of breaking into the UCL zone sooner or later. Returning to Arsenal, they are now back on track in the hunt for trophies, beating Crystal Palace by dominating the game, statistically the Gunner is superior in all aspects. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace had to be willing to postpone their mission to break into the top ten, and their ambition to overtake Fulham has now failed. I saw that the match was quite intense, buying and selling attacks, and it must be admitted that Arsenal was lucky to score a quick goal that destroyed the mentality of the Crystal Palace players. Jesus, who was previously doubtful about playing from the first minute, however, I have to say that Arteta really needs a number 9 striker who has been proven. Next, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest, a match that I think is one-sided, I mean Arsenal will most likely win. If Liverpool stumble when facing Bournemouth, making City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham lucky, because they can enter again to enliven the competition for trophies. The opportunity for the Gunners to overtake Liverpool at the top of the standings is quite open in the future, the important thing is that they can consistently secure full points, and in week 22 Liverpool will face a tough opponent, namely Chelsea. Usually, even though Chelsea is appearing unstable, Pochettino squad will usually play well when facing each other with fellow elite EPL teams, and I think Arsenal and City will take advantage of this opportunity well. |

Let's take a moment to congratulate Fabrizio Romano who has won the trophy for Best Digital Journalist 2023 who is always at the forefront in providing information about the world of football. We are increasingly enthusiastic about the news he brings on his social media both X and TikTok. In my opinion he deserves this award because he is considered the closest agent to any football player especially Europe. I also hope that this year there will be big player transfer news that will attract attention, of course Fabrizio will be at the forefront and the level of accuracy will always be proven.
This is quite feasible, indeed there is quite a lot of accurate news provided by Fabrizio Romano on his social media. Fabrizio Romano's closeness to footballers made him get information first and I have never doubted the rumors reported by Fabrizio Romano on his X social media account. It's quite an award, and I don't think anyone deserves it more than Fabrizio Romano. I think that almost all of news provided by him were very accurate. It's caused by fabrizio romano will not be telling the public without making his own research. This makes him being placed as the best journalist and i do like how he is having a very strong willingness to work as a professional journalist. He was always confirming if it was fake news. I do like that how he was very competent in making any report. It was also increasing my confidence to hear any of his report. He deserves this. Fast, precise, accurate that is Fabrizio Romano, and what he conveys is very credible, a worthy award and I think it is very fair. I think his sentence "Here We Go" has become embedded in the current football player transfer saga, since many media have referred his article to Fabrizio Romano, as a reliable source. Now, I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this, every time a transfer agreement is made, it seems incomplete without the sentence "Here We Go" from him. However, apart from that, now there are only a few days left in the January transfer window, where several clubs will continue to recruit new players to increase their strength, but it looks like we will not see players like Mbappe, Osimhen, Vlahovic moving clubs. Fabrizio Romano connections with player agents, club officials and football federations, especially in Europe, have given him information that is very reliable and rarely goes wrong. Personally, I very often monitor transfer developments from his X account, to verify the truth of the player transfer rumors that are developing, because we are often misguided when we completely trust the media that chases reader ratings, so Fabrizio Romano is a very trustworthy reference in transfer matters. It seems that it's not just about transfers, now Fabrizio Romano also often updates individual player awards, such as the recent award for Messi. |

Dortmund finally put an end to their bad streak in the Bundesliga last week. But they will need to maintain this look for a while to continue recovering. Sancho's coming back to the team can make a really good impact on their scoring skills as well in the rest of the season. They are very close to top four even though they lost so many points recently.
If Dortmund continue getting positive results mostly I don't think they would have any problem on finishing the season in top four. It is really important for them to do this work in a season at worst. The board would have liked to see some title competition from them but it won't happen clearly.
Unfortunately, Dortmund's victory over Darmstadt in the last match did not answer the problems faced by Edin Terzic's squad. in the match against Darmstadt and other matches, Nicklas Fullkrug has not been able to show his consistency as a pure striker who is a goal scoring machine for his team. Fortunately, several other players such as Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Marco Reus, contributed enough to help score goals when the pure strikers they relied on had difficulty doing their job. Terzic should try to give more playing time to their young striker Youssoufa Maukoko, when the main players he relies on are having problems scoring goals for his team. In the next few hours, Dortmund will play a match away to Koln. Unfortunately, Edin Terzic's squad is not in a pleasant situation with injuries to several players such as Karim Adeyemi, Julian Ryerson, Marco Reus and several other players. Fortunately, currently Dortmund has brought in several players, namely Jardon Sancho from United and Ian Maatsen, a young player from Chelsea. however, it is certain that these two players, especially Jardon Sancho, will not immediately play as main starters. ideally, he will start playing from the bench. Talking about the Koln vs Dortmund match, Dortmund should be able to take advantage to get full points even though several of their core players are injured. Statistically and the ranking of these two teams has a gap, Koln is currently struggling to escape the red zone which is ranked 17th in the Bundesliga standings. Even though you are playing at home, it is not an easy matter to beat Dortmund in this match. referring to betting options, of course the ideal choice is to bet on Dortmund with odds @1.76. Well, let's just wait for the final result of this match. It seems that Koln ambition to get out of the degradation zone will have to be postponed again because the opponents they face are quite tough, there is no such thing as playing relaxed for both clubs because Dortmund also needs an additional three points to re-enter the top four of the standings. Leverkusen will face Leipzig, which I think Leipzig will drop points, and this is an opportunity for Dortmund to cut points. An opportunity that should be utilized well, it will be difficult to compete in the future if today Dortmund again fails to realize its target. On paper there is no doubt at all about Edin Terzic fleet, even though the odds @1.76 are very small, but betting on them will be quite safe. In contrast to previous seasons, Dortmund performance this season has decreased significantly to the point where it cannot disrupt Bayern Munchen dominance in the Bundesliga. The increasing performance of a team like Leverkusen makes the competitive dynamics more exciting, but for Dortmund this is a loss. Moreover, Suttgart and Leipzig are also having good seasons, so the teams currently in the top four have thrown Dortmund to fifth place in the standings. But I think Dortmund will return to the top four sooner or later, starting with defeating Koln today. I think Leipzig and Stuttgart will be under threat, Dortmund is very ready to take third place in the standings. The addition of new players has given confidence that Dortmund will perform consistently in the future, the recruitment of Sanho will increase Dortmund strength. On the other hand, especially Sancho, the England International player is very motivated to prove his quality to everyone, that Ten Hag was very wrong to reserve him for Man United. The competition for the top four will become increasingly fierce, and Dortmund must evaluate its performance if it wants to appear again in the UCL next season. |

Milan are desperately trying to keep up with Inter and Juventus but it is really difficult for them. Because they lost so many points in the first half of the season which caused the point gap to be opened very much. But at least Milan have started getting positive results in the recent times which is good. Maintaining this look would be nice for securing the third place at least.  Inter and Juventus really don't look like any of them will drop down sharply from the title competition this season. I can say this especially for Inter considering the big scores they have been getting. For taking three points it doesn't matter how you win of course. But it is more reassuring to see your team being able to get big wins. This season's competition for the championship seems to be between Juventus and Inter. Because currently these two teams have succeeded in increasing their points with 3rd place with a difference of 7 points from 2nd place. And I think Milan will only be able to secure a ticket to the Champions League by being ranked 3rd. Because it looks like 3rd place will already be successfully secured. by Milan. Because the difference in points for ranks 3 and 4 is currently quite large, namely around 8 points. So it can be said that 3rd place will belong to Milan this season. In tomorrow's match, Milan will even face Udinese and I think in this match Milan will again get full points and will strengthen their position in 3rd place. But still, this season is still long. And it could be that Inter or Juventus experience a decline and allow Milan to catch up with them. It's just that this possibility is very small. Milan stood alone without being able to put pressure on Inter and Juventus and not getting pressure from Fiorentina and Atalanta who were below them. The points gap created by the current competition does not bother Milan, and that is why Milan can secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. At the start of the campaign, Milan appeared consistent, but in their journey so far they have become increasingly far from title contenders, also being eliminated in the Champions League, Coppa Italia and Super Italia Cup, and having to fight again in the Europa League via the play-off route. Now there are only two opportunities for Milan to win the competition, the European League and Serie A, but in my opinion Milan chances of winning the trophy in these two competitions are very low. There is a possibility that Inter will be shaken in the future by the tight competition schedule, but I think this possibility is very small, and even if it happens Juventus will be the one who will take advantage of the momentum, because their position is only 2 points behind. Milan needs to maintain consistency in the second half of the season, if there is a possibility of being able to compete again to win the Scudetto then they can take advantage of it, at least Pioli fleet can secure tickets to the UCL without having to come under pressure from other teams. In the European League itself, we know that Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites there, it looks like Milan needs a miracle to win the trophy, it won't just enliven the competition. Milan next match is against Udinese, Pioli's team will have the ambition to atone for their sins in the first leg, where in the first half of the season Milan lost 1-0 to Udinese. In this match, Milan is still in the lead, but personally I will avoid betting on this match, because Milan performance is difficult to predict this season. However, I feel Milan will be able to secure full points, and continue their positive trend by beating Udinese. Finishing in third place in the standings is quite good for Milan, because last season the Milan was only able to finish in fourth place in the standings with 70 points. |

Initially, Girona was not an elite club that dared to challenge the big La Liga clubs, but we should appreciate its impressive performance this season. It is not easy to maintain good performance considering that Girona does not have the quality of players like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Equating the performance levels of Girona and Almeria just because they drew is not ethical because at least Girona did not lose in that match and what is certain is that Almeria is very satisfied because they managed to hold Girona to a draw in this match considering their performance is very different from Girona.
We'll see if Girona will experience a decline in the second half of this season because they have tried so far, but many don't believe Girona can win the La Liga title because this club is still new enough to challenge the big clubs, even so, at least they are being in the top 4 is not a bad thing considering that Girona was an ordinary club at first and next season Girona could get a ticket to play in the UEFA Champions League.
No one thought that Girona would be able to surprise this far, indeed if you look at the strength and quality of the Girona team, many people doubt that they will be able to win the La Liga title, but in my opinion it is not impossible. As happened in the 2015/2016 Premier League season when Leicester City managed to win the Premier League. The draw against Almeria was quite disappointing, but I saw that the performance of the Girona team was still quite good and this was proven in the next match against Rayo in the round of 16 of the Copa Del Rey. The GIrona team was able to perform again with its best performance. So so far the Girona team is still quite solid, there are no signs that they have lost their balance. It's true, the impressive record recorded by Girona this season has amazed us all, suffering only one defeat in La Liga to Madrid. Only four clubs have managed to hold Girona to a draw this season, namely Almeria, Betis, Bilbao and Real Sociedad. They succeeded in slaughtering the remaining 14 contestants mercilessly, including the two giants who had been dominating La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico. A performance that has taken them to the top of the standings, with 49 points in 20 matches, currently only Madrid has the opportunity to overtake the position because they still have one match postponed against Getafe. Therefore, in the future, it is believed that Michel fleet will still be able to compete and put pressure on Madrid in the hunt for trophies, because Barcelona and ATM are experiencing a slight shock. I predict they will end the season by securing a ticket to the UCL. In terms of champions, I think Madrid still has the highest bargaining value at the moment, Girona will only be able to win the trophy if Los Blancos experiences a decline in performance, but with what Girona is currently fighting for, that is It's already quite entertaining in terms of competition. It is true that it is possible that Girona could follow in Leicester City footsteps in the EPL, but their opportunity to create a beautiful story is only possible when Madrid experiences inconsistency. Girona next match is against Sevilla, a club that has the opposite fate of Girona. I mean Sevilla has now changed from a big club to a mediocre club, as if they never had a reputation in La Liga and the European League. Girona will certainly take advantage of Sevilla current setbacks and inconsistencies, to increase their number of points, thereby further strengthening their position in the standings. On paper, betting on Girona winning would be very safe, while Sevilla is getting worse and its position is increasingly threatened by the dgradation zone, it is difficult to imagine what the scenario is for Sevilla to escape this threat in the future. |

Even the game we least expectations got to win at the very last few minutes of the game last weekend, they did all they could to make sure they was the three points winners.
I fathom it'll be a tougher game than Augsburg honestly. Leipzig are even experienced than Augsburg and plays better nothin much to say about the Prediction I'm just certain that they won't be losing the game.
A lose would see Bayern Munich level them up and climb above them. I not really happy with the signatures Thomas Tuchel has been recommending anyways.
It's Bayern Leverkusen for the Bundesliga League Competition I have no other suitable winners to occupy the first position you feel me?
Yes, I think Leverkusen deserves to be in first place at the top of the Bundesliga standings compared to Munich, that's why the match against Leipzig will be the answer to who is the best at winning the title this season. If we look at the previous meeting, Leipzig was defeated by Leverkusen 3-2, I seeing how Leverkusen has played consistently since the start of the season until now, that's why many people favor Leverkusen over Leipzig, playing at Leipzig's home ground there may be difficulties that will make it difficult for Leverkusen to get full points, but it seems that Xabi Alonso has definitely prepared the right strategy to face Leipzig later. I don't think much about the results of the match as long as Leverkusen can maintain their consistency they will definitely easily win the title this season to break Munich's dominance as defending champions in the Bundesliga, winning against Leipzig is the most important thing for them to do now, because if they Losing points certainly gives Munich room to approach Leverkusen or shift them from the top of the standings, considering that Munich has an easy opponent, namely Bremen.  Leverkusen will visit Leipzig headquarters, but I think the one who is more worried is Leipzig themselves, even though we know that they are acting as hosts. Leverkusen, with all the magic they have created, has the opportunity to maintain their unbeaten record and secure full points, as well as confirm their position at the top of the standings. Leipzig is indeed worth considering, they can make trouble for any team, and could thwart Xabi Alonso fleet. But I believe that their Leipzig dream is still understandable, but beating Leverkusen is not an easy matter, Bayern Munchen has tried but failed. Leverkusen is entering the most difficult period from January to February, where the opponents they face will really determine their chances of winning the Bundesliga trophy. However, if Xabi is able to maintain the consistency of his fleet until they finish the match with Bayern Munchen on 11 February, then Leverkusen will be very close to the trophy. Because we know that to win the Bundesliga title, you must be able to beat or hold Bayern to a draw, and get maximum points by beating other contestants. This step will start by beating Leipzig, if you lose points then everyone predictions and assumptions will be ruined. Leipzig will certainly be motivated to take revenge, and is targeting an additional 3 points to secure its position in the top four of the standings, because Dortmund overshadows them with a difference of 3 points. With Sancho presence, the pressure that Dortmund can put on Leipzig is certainly enormous, and Leipzig will maximize all the potential they have to trouble Leverkusen. With this background, it certainly makes the match very interesting to look forward to, and the course of the match will definitely be very interesting. |

if Arsenal is not in good form, I'm afraid Crystal Palace can match their game. like when Crystal Palace held Brighton and Man City to a draw.
Crystal Palace's current performance is almost the same as Arsenal. they are not consistent in every match. even today they also lost to Everton.
Regarding the next match, of course, Arsenal will be the favorite to win. Arteta's squad is certainly stronger even though they have faced several problems in several matches.
don't expect much from Crystal Palace, but hopefully, the match will be interesting.
Despite knowing that Arsenal has drop form, I can't still say that Crystal Palace can get their way out of the game. With this their current form, Arsenal is still doing better than Crystal Palace on the pitch. For anyone who is always watching Arsenal games, they will know that Arsenal is still not that bad, even in their recent game that they lost to West Ham and Fulham. Arsenal was not just lucky in scoring recently; they always created good chances, but creating those chances to goals now is their big problem. With those defeats that Arsenal has encountered recently, I believe Arteta will try to do anything possible to win the game. The match against Crystal Palace will be tough, and that is how the game has always been, but I have some belief that Arsenal will win the game. On paper, Arsenal chances of getting full points are very high, Arteta fleet has all the attributes needed to win the match, especially since the match against Crystal Palace will be held at the Emirates. It must be admitted that Arsenal in the last five matches in the EPL have only been able to achieve one win, their performance does not really reflect a title challenger, and is even in serious danger of being overtaken by Tottenham. The match against Crystal Palace will certainly not be easy, starting to return to consistency and reduce the points gap with Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City who are above them. Arteta certainly understands the importance of the extra 3 points, and I think they will be able to do it. Crystal Palace is currently ranked 14th in the standings, their statistics in their last five matches are the same as the Gunners, I think with a performance like that it is difficult for Crystal Palace to steal points at the Emirates. I think Crystal Palace ambition to break into the top 10 of the standings will be delayed by Arsenal, and as I said at the beginning their chances of winning the match are very low. That doesn't mean ruling out the possibility of a surprise they could create, looking at the facts and statistics, betting on Arsenal winning, in my opinion, would be safer. In H2H terms, in five meetings between Arsenal versus Crystal Palace, the Gunners achieved 3 wins, one draw and one defeat. On the other hand, both clubs do not have a complete squad, because there are injured players and some have been called up to strengthen their respective national teams. It looks like Arteta will still field his best lineup, to reduce the risk of losing points, because if that happens again then their chances of competing for the trophy will be very low. |

It was really a tough match between these two strong opponents, Athletico Madrid demostrated strength through out the game,showing that they can't be beaten twice by thesame club.I really love how they responded to the last beating that they had at home to Madrid.It is a thing of joy that Athletico are able to beat madrid,but I doubt if that will be possible in the Laliga, perhaps Madrid didn't take this cup more seriously,thats why they allowed Athletico to get the three points in this game.From now,I will be putting an eye on this Athletico Madrid vs Madrid,because the rivalry is now becoming interesting.
This season the Madrid Derby competition is more exciting than El Clasico. Because after seeing Atletico Madrid successfully take revenge on Madrid, this match became a tense match. Real Madrid itself only suffered defeats and both defeats came from the Metropolitan Stadium Headquarters at Atletico Madrid. Madrid elimination from the Copa del Rey broke Ancelotti's target of achieving a treble winner that they had never achieved in their history. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Barcelona scored the full 3 points because their opponent was easier to deal with, Unionistas was not too much of a threat. So Xavi troops could control the game and from statistics Barcelona was superior in all aspects of attack and ball control. Atletico penance was successfully carried out, breaking Los Blancos ambition to win the treble winner this season. This success is a sign that the Copa del Rey is likely to be won by Diego Simeone fleet this season, where their toughest opponents will be Barcelona or Girona. I was really surprised when I found out that Madrid suffered this defeat, when Ancelotti and his squad were at the peak of their performance, I didn't expect Madrid to be knocked out early. For Atletico, they will try their best to become champions here, because in La Liga and UCL their steps to become champions are said to be very difficult to achieve. Talking about the priority scale, Madrid certainly wants to sweep all competitions by winning trophies, and that is their real ambition to assert their dominance. After winning the Spanish Super Cup trophy yesterday, perhaps Madrid was too arrogant and lost control to manage their self confidence, underestimated Atletico and didn't take it too seriously. However, this defeat is certainly a valuable lesson for Ancelotti in looking to the future, where they must appear serious even when facing a mediocre team. Next, Los Blancos will shift their focus to La Liga, to complete the match against Almeria, with the aim of taking over the standings from Girona. Meanwhile, Atletico will face Granada, and has the ambition to re enter the top four of the standings. I think on paper both clubs will be able to secure full points, because the opponents they face are not that tough. Apart from that, the dynamics of competition in the top four of the standings will actually be more obvious, when Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico play matches postponed Week 20. |

I know that Arsenal have found themselves the subject of speculation suggesting Arteta could try to land Benzema in a bid to solve their striking struggles but somehow I’m not convinced about this deal. I understand that Arteta needs a new No.9 after both Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah's struggles in front of goal this season. Honestly I would like Arsenal to look somewhere else for a new striker. Benzema is 36, his wages would be a problem for this Arsenal side and I don’t think Arteta can handle his ego.
They’re already good, decent strikers that can give them what they want in Benzema. There’s a certain Ivan Toney, Vlahovic and the likes.
Arsenal shaky this season and they're no longer in the top four this season after they declined in their performance in matches. Arsenal headcoach, Mikel Arteta have numerous options to triggered in the transfer window. He has scouts for potential forwards in the team. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Edward Keddar Nketiah and Leandro Trossard, these are the frontlines that are held for the solidable foundation of the club. They're important and if Mikel Arteta valued them, he would worked on developing them and not search outside for new strikers because I see nothing wrong with the current condition of the club. The truth is that, this Season have not been the best season for Asernal unlike the last season when the club almost won the title of the premier league and was able to stay at the top of the league's point table for a very long time before the eventually lost it to Manchester city but still was able to finish the league within the top 5 club's but in the current season, Asernal have struggled to come close to the top 10 and within the top 5 but still yet have hard alot of missed matches which have affected the clubs performance for the entire period, then also e may still be optimistic that their going to change the face of things as time goes on and seeing that their position is gradually getting lost in this Season. When Arteta succeeded in bringing Arsenal to finish as runners up in the EPL last season, club officials felt confident in providing financial support, which would allow Arteta to revolutionize the club in order to win trophies this season. We know the names that were successfully landed at the Emirates last summer, and it is hoped that they can add depth to the squad, so that the bitterness of defeat at the end of the season will no longer be repeated. Arteta was successful in his efforts in the transfer market last summer, which put Arsenal at the top of the list as the club with the highest market value in the world. However, the ambition to win trophies seems to have to be rationalized again, because Aston Villa is still better in points than Arsenal at the moment. Man City stumbled and was unstable in several matches, but Pep Guardiola was able to motivate his team to get up as soon as possible. In the last five matches, Arsenal was only able to achieve one win, one draw and three defeats, the difference here is that the Gunners are believed to be finding it difficult to recover, in order to mark a turning point in their performance, unlike City who are back on track to challenge for the title. It looks like Arteta will not be able to bring his fleet to finish in the runner up position like last season, because in my opinion Liverpool and City will not move at the top of the standings, regardless of who wins the trophy. It is believed that Arteta needs a capable number 9 player to carry out his plans to win the EPL trophy this season. Several names have been linked at the moment, starting from Benzema, Ivan Toney is on Arteta radar. In my opinion, Arteta really needs to recruit a quality striker, who can score goals in every match, so that he can compete with Liverpool, Man City and Aston Villa again in the future. The closest match, Arsenal will host Crystal Palace at the Emirates, they must forget yesterday defeat in the FA Cup to Liverpool, and look to the future by trying to beat Crystal Palace. An additional three points will put Arsenal in third place in the standings and shift Aston Villa position. |

If Scaloni is indeed in the Argentina national team for the 2026 World Cup, then this news is very good news for the Argentina team. We all saw that Messi won the World Cup for the first time under the leadership of Scaloni in the 2022 World Cup and fixed the relationship with Scaloni. If the 2026 World Cup is played under the leadership of Scaloni, the Argentina team will definitely do much better. The way the current Argentina team is performing is really admirable if Scaloni is with their team, it is expected that the Argentina team will do much better in the 2026 World Cup.
Yeah, Argentina is clearly one of the favorites as they are the current champion. But, I think that maybe Uruguay or Brazil will surprise everyone in the next world cup. Messi is a key factor in Argentina success in the 2022 edition of the World Cup. As he is still in his prime, it is unlikely that Argentina will be able to defend the trophy in the next edition without Messi. The Inter Miami star age factor is a big question mark, whether Messi will be fit and ready to play when he is 38 years old, I personally doubt that. Unless Messi plays in a more competitive league to maintain his skills and fitness until he is 38 years old. That is the real challenge and fact that all fans must accept, even though we understand that without Messi the appeal of the World Cup decreases, as does Ronaldo. I am sure that the upcoming 2026 World Cup will bring out other favorite teams, and so will new young talents. The atmosphere will also be very different from before, and most of the players competing in the Qatar World Cup will no longer play for their national teams. Talking about favorite teams, I think teams from Europe will dominate, such as Portugal, Germany, France, Spain, England, and there are several more. Argentina and Brazil, as usual, are the favorite teams in every edition, and host powers such as America, Canada and Mexico are also worth considering. But what is clear is that the journey is still very far away, because currently the World Cup is still in the qualifying stage, Brazil itself is experiencing difficulties, but I am sure they will qualify. Here are the FIFA rankings that were last updated in December 2023: https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men |

In decades, none of us have a clue regarding the SPL clubs but today, we can boldly mention few elite teams in actions and the players who have been outstanding. The promotion of the league have upgraded in all levels, atleast no longer comparable as of the previous season. Saudi Arabia influential men understands the purpose of promoting their league to be comparable to European football but it will take long time. The board knows what they want and they strive in bringing Cristiano Ronaldo to their league where he's presence becomes top and essential for everyone.
the effort to bring Ronaldo to the SPL has the aim of increasing the popularity of the SPL so that it is known throughout the world, even though it is not very well known at the moment, but at least since Ronaldo arrived in the SPL, many european players have joined several teams in the SPL, as I said before, when Neymar said it all started from Ronaldo and finally many European players accepted big offers and started careers in the SPL with the belief that in the long term the SPL would become part of the big leagues on a par with Europe. the SPL will continue to carry out promotions and all means to improve the quality of players in all teams to be able to give confidence to FIFA and make an offer to be part of the UCL someday as long as they can consistently maintain the quality of the matches I'm sure the SPL will be great. previously, I never thought that I would be able to come and always be present to see the development of several teams in this SPL and it was all because of Ronaldo and as the season progressed I became aware that more and more people knew about this league and it certainly wouldn't be long before the SPL would become a very big league. It is hoped that the peak of investment (PIF) in the development of Saudi football will occur in 2034, when FIFA has officially appointed Saudi as the host for the 2034 edition of the World Cup. Starting with the construction of the Saudi League (SPL) with the recruitment of Ronaldo, which is believed to be the gateway for other top European players play there. It's true, before Ronaldo came to the SPL, many of us didn't know what the SPL was like, how the competition for trophies was, and we never even knew there were clubs called Al Nassr, Al Hilad, Al Ittihad and so on. Al Nassr succeeded in taking advantage of the momentum, recruiting Ronaldo from Man United who Ten Hag no longer wanted, a big leap occurred where the SPL suddenly became famous just because of Ronaldo existence. To reach a competitive level that is close to the Top European Leagues, of course it takes time, it cannot be achieved in a short time. Even though financially, PIF can easily buy players from any league, it is even believed that PIF can easily acquire any club in Europe. However, this does not necessarily increase the intensity of competition, because on the other hand, only four clubs are currently covered by PIF. The competition at the moment is certainly not balanced, the strengths of the fellow contesting clubs in the SPL are very different, because only four clubs have sufficient strength and squad depth. Over time, it is possible that other SPL clubs will increase their strength so that in the end, there will be tight competition. In the future, I think it will not only be players who will be recruited, but top European coaches will also likely be recruited. The latest news is that Jose Mourinho is also being linked with a move to the SPL, following the steps of Steven Gerrard, who previously coached Al Ettifaq. I think sooner or later the SPL will gain a place in the eyes of football fans, and with the League image increasing, it will automatically increase the fan base that follows the developments that occur there. |

I have heard news such as PSG have made a new contract offer to Kylian Mbappe. It is said to be worth around 100 million euros a year.  This is a really attracting sum of money for sure. But money isn't problem for other rich teams as well. So Real Madrid can easily offer the same conditions to Mbappe as well. Maybe they already have who knows. But I expect Mbappe to make his decision at the end of the season. Staying at PSG is also an option maybe but I hope he doesn't prefer that option. I don't believe it is good for his future at all.  In every transfer window we have too many rumours and reports about many few players with currently Mbappé is hot about his contract and future few days back I also read his mother which is also his manager announces if any club will offer around 100 Million Euro he will play for him, and today we have some news with now PSG is also offering him about contract so as things are going we can expect another extension for the Kylian Mbappé here at PSG. Currently as things are going we need to understand Real Madrid is not interested in Kylian Mbappé, so things like this are circulating around about his future and most chances he will stay here with any acceptable offer can bring change but no other club can afford him with his required salary and other luxuries. Mbappe future at PSG will be determined in the next two weeks, because when the transfer window closes, Mbappe can leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, to be precise in June 2024. Now apart from Real Madrid, Liverpool is also widely linked with Mbappe, will but in my opinion the Reds don't have the money to pay Mbappe a large amount every week. This salary request will certainly make it difficult for Mbappe to move to a new club, because they will also think that recruiting Mbappe does not guarantee that they will bring trophies. Especially for a club like Madrid, even though they didn't recruit Mbappe, I see that Los Blancos are very favorites in every competition they participate in. I admit that Mbappe is a good player, his individual skills and speed are above the average of other players, his presence can make a difference to the outcome of the match. However, it is better to resolve this tug of war immediately, so that Mbappe himself can focus on achieving targets and helping his team achieve success. Because the media always highlights the transfer saga that links him to several clubs, even clubs from the Saudi Pro League have also been linked. On the other hand, I still believe that PSG will not let Mbappe go on a free transfer, even though Mbappe has stated that his departure can protects all the club interests. Madrid is lucky because it is the club that Mbappe wants, and PSG is still in the position of begging for his signature. There is a possibility of a contract extension being proposed by PSG as a form of anticipation for Mbappe departure on a free transfer, and after an agreement is reached Mbappe will be invited to move. It makes sense that what Mbappe means by protecting all interests is extending the contract, and the club that is interested must pay the amount of money that PSG wants. We'll see how this speculation ends, and where Mbappe goes next. |
