People who have more hallucinations are those who have made big profits from gambling, or max wins from their games. I also think I have this virus, and the step I prioritize today is to keep myself busy, as several people have said. gave advice, and indeed it was quite helpful, such as reading books, sports and so on, so that my thinking became wiser day by day in thinking about gambling.
Most gambling addicts experience this problem and I have friends who are addicted to gambling which was initially quite difficult to advise and even he did not listen to parents. I once asked him why it was so difficult to stop playing gambling "he answered because it always hallucinating gets big wins". Thus encouraging the desire to continue to play and increasingly difficult to get out of the addiction. Luckily after being taken to a rehabilitation place at this time he has been separated from addiction, busy with positive activities and sports is also one of the ways that can be done because in rehabilitation they also practice it besides touching psychology.

I don't have anyone who knows my current situation, so they look at me as normal, because my addiction is not that prominent, so they don't know about it, and you have to know, this is really my desire without any other encouragement from people around me to help get rid of the addiction, it's difficult, but I'm sure I can control it in a few weeks after getting used to productive activities
Maybe the level of addiction that you are experiencing is not too severe, so by busy with yourself in more positive activities can provide cure slowly. But I doubt people who are already addicted to being severe in gambling to heal themselves without being helped by others and are lucky if at this time you can control yourself so that you can be responsible every time you want to gamble.

Yes, that was last season, but the beginning of this championship showed that not everything was all right with them. Perhaps these opening defeats will be a cold shower for Newcastle and they will be able to improve their performance further, because at the moment they do not look as good as they did before. Their group is also very difficult, RSG, Dortmund and Milan, each of these teams can qualify for the playoffs, let's see if Newcastle can be a worthy competitor for them.
It seems difficult for Newcastle to qualify for the next round because they are in the same team as a club that is much more experienced in this competition. Newcastle does not have the experience of its three competitors and Newcastle's performance is also not as good as last season, so there is little doubt that Newcastle will be able to qualify for the next round. Even so we should give appreciation to the representatives of the English league because they fought hard to be able to play in the Champions League this season.

It's true that joining Group E with Feyenoord, Lazio and Celtic makes ATM a little lucky, at least they can easily qualify from the group phase. If you look at the composition of group E, ATM has a real chance of finishing as group winner. Diego Simeone squad so far has also played well in La Liga, and of course this is a valuable asset when playing in the group phase.
Apart from Atletico Madrid, I also believe that Lazio will be their competitors to qualify for the next round because when compared to Feyenoord and Celtic they are much superior. This will be a good opportunity for Lazio because they are in a group with teams that are not too strong, so there is hope for them to qualify for the next round. If they waste the then it may be difficult for them to get the opportunity in the following season.
703  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: September 13, 2023, 03:12:13 PM
Today I decided to go back to my old school to teach the children just a little bit of everything I've learned from my @cuboplus teachers 📚📚 #BITCOIN    #elsalvador #BTC    #cuboplus 🧵
That's a good step that you can take to educate many young people about the opportunities in bitcoin because one day people will increasingly realize that bitcoin is the best asset. I also have a non-formal school which is currently still managed together with the Lhok Kaju English Center (LEC) community. Although I have not specifically included learning about bitcoin for them because the age of the students we have makes us reluctant to do so now.

I just saw on social media today that El Salvador kids are being taught Bitcoin. Because a different thing about Bitcoin for children from a young age started in elementary education in El Salvador. This education from an early age will bring the best success for the child later in life as the child grows up. And I support this Bitcoin education, and teaching Bitcoin to more kids to be successful.
One day I would like to do something like this for our students and there is a big ideal I want to show students regarding the adoption of Bitcoin as a way to find financial freedom. Unfortunately, currently we cannot make this happen and the bitcoin education given from an early age is very good for students, but it is only an introduction not direct involvement in investing. I see that what El Salvador is doing can actually increase the interest of the younger generation in investing when they have entered adulthood and can be responsible for the decisions they make.

This is what makes me want to teach bitcoin education to the younger generation who join LEC, but unfortunately we can't do this yet because there will be many challenges if forced. If one day bitcoin reaches widespread adoption in my area then we have high hopes that we can make it happen.
704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: September 13, 2023, 02:22:10 PM
A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.
It represents some thoughts that gambling addiction is not a good thing if done excessively and it will be quite difficult to control them once involved in it so much. At first they are not worried about their family's involvement in gambling, but it will be quite different if other problems start to occur such as losing money or items at home and that is why addicted gamblers will be quite difficult to control, including their own family

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?
Only you and family know what really happened and from your observations, has your nephew told you the truth that he did not steal his mother's money? If so, maybe the gambling case involving your nephew is not an addiction, but rather he spends his budget responsibly every time he wants to gamble, so this case might be solved if you know who stole his mother's money.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: September 13, 2023, 12:06:25 PM
People like those (me) who don't gamble for fun have this question to answer: how will you feel when you don't have money to stake a game that you predicted and better winning games you predicted played the way you predicted it and when you checked the winning was something that could have changed your life for ever if you didn't gambled again after such winning?
Why are you so sure that by betting on something you will get certainty and guarantee victory. Also, why are you so sure that after winning you no longer want to gamble? Generally, because of the uncertain nature of gambling, thus encouraging us to become increasingly curious and ultimately fall into a position of irresponsible addiction.

This question can be very tough to answer, but believe me, many people won't stop thinking of that if it happened to them, so I want to know your opinion about how you would feel if it happened to you.
What kind of feelings should we show, disappointed, angry or very sorry? Of course people will think about it, but I think something that is not ours doesn't need to be mourned for too long because it can make us dizzy and lose our enthusiasm to continue other activities and let's just say it's not our luck. Problem solved!!!

If it happens to me, I can't stop thinking of it, but definitely one day I will stop thinking about it and see it as history or not yet, my time for big wins just like how it happened to me when I lost a bet that would have given me long-term smiles.
LOL. In the end, you have answered yourself in the last paragraph what we should do if this happens to us. Most people will eventually forget that, no?
706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 13, 2023, 11:08:27 AM
I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?
Special treatment is needed regarding addicted gamblers because it will be much more difficult to cure them if they are not treated properly. Addicted gamblers usually have a tendency to hallucinate their winnings and for this reason they have difficulty stopping, so creating another activity is one thing that can make them stop gambling. I am not an addicted gambler, but what I feel is that gambling can be avoided when we have other activities and have much more productive activities.

For gamblers who are addicted, it may be quite difficult to manage financial management in gambling because usually they will continue to gamble. Except for ordinary gamblers like us who have the ability to manage the finances we spend when gambling because maybe we set a monthly or weekly budget for gambling.

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"
Stopping gambling will be very difficult if it is not taken seriously by experienced people and if the encouragement from those closest to you is not strong enough it will make it difficult for them to stop, especially if there is no desire from that person to stop gambling
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 13, 2023, 10:36:23 AM
PSV are in Group B and we can all see the form of performance shown by each of them in their domestic league at the start of this season. Of the four teams there, I think there are only two teams that are really strong at the moment, namely Arsenal and PSV because the other two teams are still quite bad in their respective domestic leagues so there is a possibility for PSV to qualify for the next round in Champions League although maybe PSV will not be ranked first in group B.
Group B has a much more balanced representation of team strength and in my opinion it will be difficult for this group to see who advances to the next round because almost all four representatives have almost the same quality. Arsenal has a slight advantage after seeing their performance in the Premier League and in my opinion, of the four teams Arsenal has a much greater chance of qualifying for the next round. The rest depends on how PSV, Sevilla and Lens perform because if you look at the performance in their respective leagues it will be quite difficult to determine who will qualify.

The Champions League results cannot only be seen in the domestic league because there are big differences when they play and here also determines mentality and experience. My prediction is that PSV or Sevilla will most likely qualify with Arsenal, Sevilla has a good mentality when playing at qualifying level and is very different when playing in the domestic league like when they won the European league last season but that's just my prediction.

I see people often discuss formulas, plans, and experiences to get rich, but one thing is that so far no one has really become rich and they are still discussing it every day.

In my opinion, each person will have different ways to get rich and no one will be the same, there is no common formula at all. Therefore, we should focus on our goals and find ways to overcome all difficulties in our own way. Don't try to share how to get rich or teach someone to get rich while we ourselves are still poor.
That will be an interesting discussion that we will continue to discuss everywhere and its realization depends on how society wants to implement and develop it. Talking about formulas, plans and experiences to become richer is an effort that we often see in people's lives, without exception when we sit and exchange opinions with people in everyday life. Don't be too rigid in living your life and there are times when we will get the initiative and plan to develop ourselves after discussing it at length with other people because maybe we will get enlightenment and a more effective way to start. We need other people as supporters and for me that's not a problem because the more often we discuss it with anyone, the more ideas will be born.

To develop this potential, it is up to us where to start and this is where we need skill and consistency to achieve it because if we don't prepare carefully in educating ourselves to reach the stage of wealth then no bet will be won. The problem is when we talk a lot but never do anything and that will show a person's true character, therefore we also need to educate ourselves first before having the desire to work on the stages of achieving a much better life.
709  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you risking investment in other things? on: September 10, 2023, 09:34:59 AM
You're right, most of my altcoins except ethereum are in very bad situations right now. I was just trying to catch the lowest prices on some of the altcoins but it might cost me more in order to average down. Although I am confident that they will be in profit by next year or after the halving year, it would've been better if I stuck to just bitcoin and ethereum and then only switched some into risky altcoins once the bull run starts. Nonetheless, bitcoin at the moment is 68% of my portfolio, ethereum at 15%, and the other risky altcoins at around 17%.

I was tempted to sell the house because I believe it is easy money. Like if I sell it now and buy bitcoin at $25k, I am confident my capital will be doubled by next year or by 2024. Although it is going to be too risky.
About altcoins and how people exploit them to make profits in the short term and of course there are positive and negative values that will arise. The drawback may be at a much riskier stage of the bet as it requires further analysis when the increase process will create a spike in the purchase price. If someone cannot see the potential and is unable to analyze the coin's journey, it will actually give rise to panic which will have fatal consequences. This difficulty is what makes people ditch altcoins in favor of the much more fundamental bitcoin because even though there are risks, bitcoin is much more fundamental and has a repeating cycle that goes beyond price highs.

Regarding the scenario of selling a house to take a large accumulation at a price of $25k, it depends on how responsible you are and you know better the appropriate level that can be taken because have thought about the risks. But personally, I prefer more responsible investment using easy methods and not using the house as capital though you say that the house is an unused asset and would be much more productive if it could be developed as an investment.
710  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 09, 2023, 04:57:30 PM
It's the process of making money and reinvest make money and reinvest.
If you made just some lucky 10x profit but you can't keep up your stradegy for the long term then you don't build any wealth.
Depending on how you start and the extent of capital efficiency you apply, the strategy will apply when you start investing and will never happen if someone hasn't done it. Our question is what strategy would you have if someone had the capital to get involved in investing now?

If we talking about trading and you don't build wealth with starting capital of 50$ then you woun't do it with 1000,3000,5000 either.
You will never reach the stage of significant wealth in the near future if you only rely on $50 because trading will generate profits that are proportional to the capital we spend. It doesn't talk about the risks of trading itself because it is only at the stage of narrating the meaning of trading.

If we talking about real estate , first you need to understood the " mortgage markets " If you make like 10 year Investment plan because you been told real estate always good Investment then it's gamble everything what you don't know about and can't control it's gamble. And gamblimg is not business so dont call yourself like investor or traders Smiley
You think by holding the gold,silver and you always stay in profit that kind of mindset it's gamble not investing.
You think inflation always goes up and money printers working always its also the gamble.
Let's start one-on-one first and mention just one thing that is most urgent for us to discuss. Real estate is not a common business that can be implemented by most people, so there is no point in discussing it further and even if some people don't dare to take the risk of investing. There is no victory if someone does not dare to bet, but do not always see betting as a gambling concept. I mean, if you are going to try to invest anywhere, the step you choose will definitely want to risk money on that investment more rationally.

We will be much more rational when betting on bitcoin, gold or real estate investments and the concept is not betting like gambling. So the conclusion is where the first step you will start will be determined by how ready the capital support you have is. The comfort zone will not bring someone to the stage of big wins they want and they need to sacrifice something to achieve all that.
711  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What did you do After Reaching your Bitcoin Goal? on: September 09, 2023, 03:37:22 PM
I may reach my Bitcoin goal very soon all thanks to majorly the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy. I have been investing some specific amount into Bitcoin every month since the past couple of years. I have been at least 80% consistent in doing that through the dips and the funds and the bears and the pumps.
We will always appreciate the steps forward you are taking and I think this method can also be used by most other people, especially those who don't have large capital to start investing. DCA always provides opportunities for anyone who wants to invest and if they can apply it regularly they will reach a good stage in their investments.

The question that's been on my heart is what do I do when I finally reach this goal: set a new one and DCA or just keep DCAing without any goal in mind. If you have reached reached your Bitcoin goal what did you do after then?
When you have obtained maximum profit from this investment, what you need to do is try to create several other steps to fulfill your reinvestment in Bitcoin. DCA can be applied regularly even if you have made large profits from previous investments because there is no time period to do it and DCA will always be profitable to do. You can also take big buying opportunities when bitcoin experiences a decline as a big accumulation move in long-term investments and all you need to do is study at what price this is done.

If you have skills in the business sector then applying business in your life will also look good because you will have several niches of income in life. This is the pattern of rich people in making their financial resources increase in several sectors and not being stuck in just one place which will make they survive in comfortable conditions.
712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stabilize Bitcoin on: September 09, 2023, 02:57:16 PM
In order for Bitcoin to be widely used for payments, it is necessary to stabilize price fluctuations.
Unfortunately there is no way to stabilize bitcoin and the only concept of stabilizing goods is in economic law because it can be regulated or in other words there is the influence of people or groups that can suppress prices. Bitcoin doesn't work like that and has nothing in common with other products that can be regulated by a particular person. So I think there is almost no way to make the price of bitcoin stable?

Question,
Bitcoin and other currencies A and Prepare B.
A and B are equivalent exchangeable and can also be equivalently exchanged for Bitcoin.

Is it possible to stabilize prices through market mechanisms due to this?
I have studied this concept in economics by exchanging goods for other goods and previous people may be familiar with this style. As a simple example that I may have heard, when they buy wheat and exchange it for vegetables in exchange, these are just some examples that may not represent bitcoin, but can this process be done on bitcoin. I think it's a bit of a hassle and there are a lot of people who probably don't want to do it and if you want to see a stable coin maybe the choice is USDT not Bitcoin.

Regarding exchanging goods for bitcoin, this may be possible depending on the particular product because currently there may be several places that accept bitcoin as a means of payment, but it depends on whether they intend to make payments that way or not. If you look at the current conditions and the comparison of several places that use bitcoin as a means of payment, so it also hasn't been able to stabilize bitcoin.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 09, 2023, 01:45:18 PM
Group A is really challenging for especially Copenhagen and Galatasaray. We haven't seen any match in the group stage yet maybe but I'm theoretically speaking now. Bayern Munich have a big potential to win all of the matches. Manchester United are a little unbalanced these days. Actually a little wouldn't be the right definition because they didn't have a good start to the season in the EPL. Lastly they lost to Arsenal by the goals they conceded in the stoppage time.

Something is going wrong with them and I wonder if they can solve an important part of their problems until the group matches start. If they don't then this group might turn out to be really interesting.  Smiley
This is a group that is not a big highlight for football fans, this does not mean that there are no big teams in it, but it would be a little easier for Bayern Munich or Man United to finish in first or second place. Interestingly, we will see who will be able to come out on top of the group and I'm sure almost many people say the German giants will take the lead. When talking about competitions, almost many of us always highlight the domestic league as a basis for predictions, but we forget that there is something we might miss and I am sure Man United also has the same chance of finishing in first place and that is the same as Bayern Munich.

Man United's problem actually lies in the defense line because several players are still injured and if they cannot play in the group stage then I am sure it will be difficult for them to compete as runners-up or group winners. Bayern Munich seems to be a little safe in the battle because they have a balanced quality of players at the moment, so there won't be any big obstacles for them.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 08, 2023, 11:24:42 AM
In the Champions league, experience does matter alot.  You also know that the tactics are different for the various teams from their different leagues.
Atletico Madrid has more in terms of champions league match experience and even if they are yet to lift the trophy, I do feel they may likely be the victors in this encounter.
They currently rank 4th in their la Liga, while Lazio ranks 12th. Imagine the difference coupled with Diego Simone the manager, with a consistent record among others in same league.
Experience and mentality are something that is really needed in the Champions League, even though in the last few seasons Atletico Madrid's performance in the Champions League has decreased slightly, but if you look at experience I think they are much better than Lazio. But even so, we also have to be realistic because every team that plays in the Champions League will definitely prepare everything and they will definitely fight it out.

In addition to mentality and experience, the quality of a coach can also affect results, because he will better understand the application of strategies in more stressful match conditions. Diego Simeone has a lot of experience in this regard and even once brought Atletico Madrid to the final even though in the end they failed to emerge as champions.

I wouldn't check the rank for all rating of a team supposedly being victory during a clash because if not for anything it will be for the fact that it's actually football and everything and anything is possible but when we look at the match up formally we'll it's very clear that ATM are going to win this match but like I said nothing is too sure in a soccer game.
When referring to results, of course all possibilities can still happen, but the effect of the results or achievements we need to see is the extent of the team's ability and support to be able to win the match. I see many things that make Atletico Madrid favorites and also no underestimate Lazio, but the reality is that Diego Simeone is very experienced in handling Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and maybe he will also try harder to become champions.
715  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 08, 2023, 10:41:37 AM
Xavi was never selfish and Xavi was what Barcelona needed truly in order to be able to start competing with other elites of Europe back, he was fine with unsettling the likes of all his old team mates like Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, so what matters or why should Ansu Fati get an easy let off, Ansu Fati has been projected to be face of the club, but he can't live up too the pressure with everyone not letting him breathe and him being out injured, so Xavi is gotta reintegrate Fati back into the squad but slowly without taking out the new players that have been working their asses all months long while Fati was struggling with injuries and match fitness, there is no automatic slot for any player and Ansu Fati shouldn't get any special treatment, but he's considered as the future face of the club, so he's also got to prove that he's willing to make certain uncomfortable sacrifices too.
Ansu Fati is still quite young for now and he has a much better future ahead when his performances get better. Loaning Ansu Fati to another club is much more relevant because he will get far more playing minutes there, compared to staying at Barcelona in conditions like these. I believe Xavi has good plans for Ansu Fati in the long term and they are in line with the project he is developing at Barcelona. Xavi also hopes for an ideal squad to compete with other clubs in Europe and especially in the Champions League where in the previous seasons they had difficulty keeping up with other clubs.

Let's see how Ansu Fati can show his skills at Brighton so that when the loan period ends he will be called up again in the Barcelona first team. Now Ansu Fati's future is in his own hands depending on how he can give his best on the pitch and even though many people doubt it. Ansu Fati was once projected as a replacement for Lionel messi but so far it has far exceeded expectations, perhaps also due to the huge burden placed on him because it is still quite easy to accept that responsibility.
716  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: September 08, 2023, 09:50:12 AM
this is why I feel sorry to the countries(including mine) who denies the fact how helpful bitcoin for their economy like what El Salvador does 2 years ago.
Maybe you can be patient if at this time your country still cannot accept the advantages of bitcoin in terms of benefits for the economy. I am also in a country that does not accept bitcoin as legal tender, but fortunate enough that my country still allows freedom when it comes to investment assets in bitcoin. Personally this is more than enough because we don't need to avoid regulations related to prohibitions and my country also facilitates a centralized exchange where bitcoins are bought and sold.

congratulations to all ElSalvadorian in the world for this and happy 2 years of bitcoin existence legally in your country.
This is inseparable from Nayib Bukele's visionary vision in seeing opportunities in bitcoin and he is one of the leaders who dared to act even though he was opposed at first. So it is worth giving appreciation for the work so far, which has given birth to financial freedom as many people there hope for.

how i wish that the world will follow this country's action sooner.
Yes That will follow in time and each country will surely have its own framework in selecting options. For me, the most important thing is that Bitcoin can be chosen as an investment asset, which is far more than enough and we will leave it up to how in the future each country sees opportunities in Bitcoin.
717  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: September 08, 2023, 08:56:16 AM
what you said is very true, to achieve financial freedom sometimes what is needed is simple, namely in a way that we can manage expenses and can use money to save and invest. As you said, savings are a precautionary measure in the face of undesirable and unpredictable events. Besides, everyone has different finances, so only we can adjust our financial plans for the future ourselves. What we need to do is start the plan correctly and consistently so that our goal of achieving the desired financial freedom is achieved.

Yes, investing is a wise choice rather than saving too much at the bank, because if all the money is saved at the bank, you will lose because the value of the currency falls. In conclusion, if you have the guts, plus if you are smart about promotion, it is better to make money by doing business, such as selling online or offline. If you really don't have skills in the business field, what you have to do is trade and invest to achieve financial freedom.
In principle each person must have different income and expenses so that in order to live frugally and achieve financial freedom, they also have different levels and parenting styles. Therefore, only we as individuals know how to live with discipline and spend money according to the portion needed. Make life a priority in achieving financial freedom, manage savings or investments and you can also start a small business to increase your income because when many sources give us profits, even if they are small, it will be easier for us to manage our finances.

A plan is a basic framework for us to start something, for example when we want to run a business, what steps do we need to take first, and vice versa with investment. When life has a plan, it will be easy for us to achieve because we know what we have to do first, everyone has to look for it because in this world nothing comes for free, especially when it comes to financial freedom. If people do not have plans and skills to achieve everything they want, it will be difficult for them to make it happen.
718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: September 07, 2023, 05:44:00 PM
Salah is still a target for Al-Ittihad? I thought that they would have given up on this transfer already after Liverpool's turning their first offer down. Because clearly Liverpool want to keep him this season no matter how much Al-Ittihad offer. Normally their latest offer is just insane which is around 200 million pounds. Salah's market value is way below this amount.

But I think Salah could be likely to join a Saudi team after the end of this season. He will have one year to go on his contract with Liverpool in the end. What do you think about this?
For the time being Jurgen Klopp is saved because the transfer window in the Premier League has closed so Mo Salah will stay, but there are no guarantees When the transfer market reopens in the winter and I think the club owner will consider the offer. In several versions that I have read, the Arab League transfer market will close on September 20 2023, but I don't know for sure whether they can still exchange players with the League which has already ended the transfer market. If that can still be done, then Jurgen Klopp is still not safe because of the possibility that in the last minutes Mo Salah was released to Arabs by management.

So it is still quite speculative regarding Mo Salah's future and I think it is difficult for management to refuse the big figure offered by Al-Ittihad. But if that is done it will have an impact on Jurgen Klopp's squad because the Premier League transfer market has closed and they cannot find a replacement for Mo Salah in the near future.

The amount of funds Saudi clubs are tossing around in the transfer market makes me wonder if there are any regulatory body ensuring fair play in the Saudi league. There seems to be no limit to transfer spendings, 200million plus is a huge sum for Liverpool to turn a blind eye to, even if Klopp is reluctant to sell Mo Salah, I am sure the club owners will be tempted to consider the offer.
I don't think there is yet a special supervisory agency regarding the fair play of transfer spending set by football securities in the Saudi league. That can be proven by several clubs there who have spent a lot of money on European players this season. It looks like the Saudi League's scrutiny is not as tight as Europe's as they can still try to woo some players with sizable numbers despite having spent big before on other players. 200 million is a pretty big number and Liverpool can build a much better squad than they are now and I think that consideration will be a management rationale for next.

One of the matches that cannot be missed is in group E which brought Lazio against Atletico. Previously in history the two teams had never faced each other in the champions league competition and this would be the first meeting for two strong teams from Italy and Spain. If you look at the achievements of both last season in each league, it is actually quite balanced in terms of the strength of these two teams. Maybe it will be very difficult to guess who will win this match and I think Atletico will be slightly superior this time. Atletico have consistently had more experience in this competition and for Lazio it's their first time after 3 seasons out.
To see who is stronger, there may not be any head to head references available for these two teams in the Champions League, so determining the winner of one of them will be much more difficult. However if take a closer look at the team's strengths, Atletico Madrid is superior to Lazio because they often play in the Champions League. Simeone's troops have also been outstanding at the start of the season in La Liga and they have also been quite prolific in scoring goals. It's different from Lazio, who haven't found their rhythm in Serie A and haven't reached a level of consistency until now, even though they were surprisingly able to beat the defending champions in Serie A last week.

I still favor Atletico Madrid because there are many things that make them more favourites. Speaking of the Champions League, maybe experience also determines the extent to which the competing teams can deal with pressure in matches and Atletico Madrid so far has that advantage compared to Lazio because they are used to facing that in the Champions League.

This is the essential time for Luis Enrique to belt up and boost his squad performance because with the slightest opportunities, Monaco will definitely scale through. There are enough things in place to get in shape since Ligue One is quite competitive. Monaco appears to be an imminent threat to Paris Saint-Germain this season. Adolf Hütter, the manager of Monaco, continuing to implement essential modifications with the goal to get his club on track for this season's priorities.  Les Rouge et Blanc have genuinely pushed to do their best this season, always standing first, and they will become favorites to win the Ligue One campaign in the shortest possible time.
PSG will face Nice next week and in my opinion this is a match that Luis Enrique needs to prepare well for in order to get full points at home. But even so, Luis Enrique cannot underestimate Nice because so far they are still pretty good and unbeaten in four matches. It's just that PSG's chances will be much greater apart from playing at home and Luis Enrique's players have also performed solidly so far and what is quite important is that Mbappe has played as usual by contributing five goals in three matches.

Monaco will have an away match at Lorient headquarters and it will be much more difficult to get full points because Lorient will also play better at home to secure full points. Monaco will face a slightly tougher match than PSG, so this is an opportunity for PSG to shift Monaco's position in the standings if they lose that match and even if Monaco wins PSG will still be close to their points.
