Important win for Dortmund today as they are back on 5th position and I couldn't hold myself not to laugh when I saw Sancho making an assist in his first game since his return and boy ...now I know for sure he didn't like to play for United and I can't blame him as no one really sane would like to play for United right now.

Also very glad to see Leverkusen taking another victory and another 3 important points for title fight as they still have 4 points difference than Bayern which is pretty amazing.

When Sancho made the assist, there was an avalanche of mockery of Ten Hag on Twitter and forums. For example: Sancho makes a goal pass - Ten Hag punching the air right now  Grin
I hope this is not a one-time success for Sancho and he will continue to delight Dortmund fans. As for Ten Hag, he is now in an even more unpleasant situation than before - it will be quite difficult to justify to the management why a player was bad at United, but good at another club. Plus all this bullying and memes... maybe it will all end with him being fired simply for image reasons. United is a great club (historically) and turning into a circus club is unlikely to be in the plans of the owners.
Sahncho proved that Ten Hag was wrong to ignore him at United, we know that the dispute can be resolved with just an apology. However, Sancho failed to do this, and Ten Hag also remained firm in his principles. Dortmund is lucky to be able to use the services of this English international player, whose presence can help the club fight to break into the top four of the standings, even if only for 6 months.

The assist recorded by Sancho gave mixed reactions among football fans, Ten Hag became a target and the object of ridicule. We certainly wish Sancho the best, and hopefully he won't make similar mistakes again in his second period with Dortmund. In terms of quality, Sancho is considered a potential young player, but from the coach point of view he is very difficult to manage.

If Sancho makes a significant contribution to Dortmund, I think he will be prioritized for permanent recruitment, and returning to Old Trafford is not an option if Ten Hag is still head coach. For this reason, I think Sancho needs to do it again and again, not only assist, but score goals for Dortmund in the future.

It seems that Real Madrid are watching Bayern Munich's left-back. He is Alphonso Davies, 23 years old. His contract with Bayern Muchen expires this year, so they don't want to repeat the mistake of Kroos' move. Kroos moved on a free transfer. Munchen does not want Alphonso Davies to move on a free transfer and perhaps this will make Bayern Munich have to let him go this summer. 

Source:  https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39278126/real-madrid-eyeing-bayern-davies-summer-move-sources
Bayern Munchen management never imagined that Toni Kroos would become a legend at Santiago Bernebeu. Bayern request for a salary increase that could not be fulfilled at that time made him choose to leave, and this step turned out to be very appropriate. Madrid seems to very often recruit players from Bayern, if the recruitment of Alphonso Davies is realized then it is certain that they will release Ferland Mendy to another club.

It must be admitted that Perez is very astute when it comes to player transfers, he is very discerning in seeing opportunities that benefit them. Players whose contracts are about to expire, relatively young, will always be his target. Perez knows very well where Madrid position is in negotiations. I mean Madrid has a high bargaining chip, and the player will choose not to extend his contract if he gets an offer from Los Blancos, exactly the same as their transfer plans for Mbappe.

Ancelotti seems to prioritize recruiting players who can occupy several positions, in other words versatile players. The aim is very understandable, because it gives him several options to experiment, as well as anticipate other players who are injured.

Last season, Arsenal lost the title narrowly and this season they may lose their shot at the title again because of injuries. Arsenal is lacking squad depth. They do not have enough options on the bench, Trossard is not in form, Saka is fatigued, Martinelli is also not in form. For a team that is contending for the league title, they need to go to the market and strengthen their squad. Arteta need to get a goal scorer and an attacking midfielder. They need to do a lot of recruitment to fill in those positions. It will be a very big problem for the Arsenal side if they do not make these moves.
You are right, Arteta needs to recruit players in the January transfer window to add depth to the squad, but the challenge of getting players who suit his strategy will be very difficult. If Arsenal still dreams of winning the EPL trophy this season, then they must create consistency while waiting for Liverpool, Man City and Aston Villa to experience bad days. The front line is one of the weaknesses of Arteta fleet this season, if they don't immediately find a solution then it's no surprise they will return to a story like last season.

While there is still a chance to compete for the title, Arteta must evaluate the shortcomings of his squad from now on. The bigger concern lies with injured players, and Arsenal also released two players to strengthen their national team. On the other hand, there are still 18 matches remaining to make everything possible, and it would be a shame to end the season without winning any title.

Next, Arsenal will face Crystal Palace, I think the Gunners will not lose points, even though they are not in good condition, they have to forget the two previous defeats. However, if the opposite happens, in my opinion, Arsenal will be knocked out of the team challenging for the title, and their position will be overtaken by Tottenham in the top four of the standings.

Saya gak mau GOLPUT !!!
Sayang hak suara saya takut di ambil orang dan di mangfaat kan untuk hal-hal yang menguntungkan mereka dan merugikan saya.

Saya pilih pak anis, mudah-mudahan menang di pemilihan presiden nanti,dan menjadi persiden untuk menggantikan pak Jokowi.
Dan berharap pak anis amanah sama janji-janjinya dan omongannya,serta visi dan misi nya.
Saya setuju dengan sikap anda untuk tidak menjadi Golput, karena hak suara kita bisa disalah gunakan untuk kepentingan pribadi segelintir orang, ujungnya untuk mendukung salah satu calon. Dengan ikut mencoblos berarti sudah meminimalisir kecurangan, dan kita sudah ikut andil dalam menentukan arah masa depan Negara. Seandainya sumua masyarakat mamahami dengan baik arti dar hak pilihnya, maka tentu penyelenggaraan Pemilu akan di anggap sukses. Namun masih banyak dari kalangan kita yang enggan untuk berpartisipasi, sikap mereka bisa dimengerti karena krisis kepercayaan pada hasil Pemilu.

Untuk calon Presiden kedepan antara Anies, Prabowo dan Ganjar saya belum menentukan pilihan, namun saya mencoba mencermati siapa yang lebih realistis dalam urusan janji kampanye mereka. Sebab sebagian besarnya janji kampanye hanya sebatas bualan, dan hanya sedikit yang bisa di realisasikan ketika menjabat. Jikapun ada, hal itu sering di lakukan di penghujung masa jabatan, sebab ingin mencalonkan diri kembali. Pada kesimpulannya itu semua hanya pendapat pribadi saja, terlepas dari apapun kita sebagai masyarakat mestinya ikut memilih dan jangan Golput.

725  Local / Ekonomi, Politik, dan Budaya / Re: Bagaimana tolak ukur Suksesnya Pemilu? on: January 13, 2024, 04:05:39 PM
Secara garis besar tolak ukur suksesnya penyelenggaraan Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) terletak pada sedikitnya pelanggaran hukum. Sedikit banyaknya kita tentu sudah memahami bagaimana jalannya dinamika perpolitikan Indonesia, dimana pada setiap penyelenggaraan Pemilu hampir selalu ada pelanggaran dan sengketa. Tolak ukurnya disini, jika jumlahnya pelanggaran menurun maka penyelenggaraan Pemilu berarti terbilang sukses. Ada banyak sekali bentuk pelanggaran, baik berupa administratif atau yang masuk ranah Pidana, secara pribadi semakin sedikit pelanggaran atau kecurangan maka hasil dari Pemilu akan semakin baik, terserah siapapun yang terpilih.

Selain itu, yang menjadi tolak ukur suksesnya Pemilu selanutnya adalah jumlah pemilih yang datang ke tempat pemungutan suara (TPS). Jika banyak pemilih yang tidak memberikan hak suaranya maka Pemilu belum di anggap sukses, sebab hakikatnya rakyat sudah tidak percaya kepada peserta Pemilu, peserte Pemilu yang saya maksud adalah Presiden dan Wakil, serta Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (Pusat-Daerah). Dalam bahasa yang lebih familiar semakin banyak orang yang GOLPUT maka penyelenggaraan Pemilu belumlah sukses.

Sebenarnya masih ada banyak lagi yang menjadi tolak ukur suksesnya Pemilu, namun secara garis besar hal yang lain tersebut merupakan turunan dari dua variabel diatas. Satu hal lainnya adalah keberadaan lembaga survey yang sering kali mengklaim sesuatu, bukan hanya elektabilitas Paslon saja, terkadang lembaga survey tersebut juga tidak jarang mengatakan tentang sukses tidaknya kinerja penyelenggara Pemilu, dan secara pribadi saya tidak mempercayai statement mereka.

There is a lot of advice that can motivate gamblers to stop, but what is effective is self awareness to stop, because no matter how much advice from people closest to you, it will never be effective. For novice gamblers, it is difficult for us to detect their presence if they are just starting out, Unless they tell us about what they are doing. Because the behavior of novice gamblers is still the same and continues as normal habits, if you find someone close to you is trying to start gambling then it is worth giving advice.

Stop before it's too late and forget about the money you have spent on gambling. Never plan to return the money, because it is a vicious chain that binds thoughts, money and time. Give examples of people who are bankrupt to friends, relatives, relatives who are experiencing a beginner phase, otherwise we cannot restrain them in their actions.

There is a saying "if you bring a suitcase of money to the gambling table then all you will take home is the suitcase".

Mourinho is currently facing problems with the unstable performance of his players. and that was a job he had to finish in the near future. There are several matches before meeting Feyenoord in the Europa League. including facing Milan and Inter.
if Mourinho can restore his players' playing performance and mentality in the near future. Roma's chances of qualifying for the last 16 are quite high. but if their performance is still like this, they will find it difficult to qualify for the Playoffs.
Roma's performance since the start of the season has been inconsistent, but if we look at the progress, there has been progress, even though it is small.
In the know out round anything is possible to happen and if we look at the quality of the two teams then there is not much difference but I believe Jose Mourinho's mentality on the European stage will be quite helpful for the Roma team to qualify.
I think Roma's percentage of qualifying is quite large and I am very confident they can qualify.
In my view, if Roma had adequate finances then they would achieve success because they worked with Mourinho. Only a few coaches can integrate a winning mentality into a team well, we know where Roma was in European competition before Mourinho landed in the capital team. The Mourinho factor is very important for Roma, unfortunately so far there has been no offer to extend his contract.

For Roma current performance which is experiencing a decline, I think they can show a different performance in the Europa League, adjusting to the scale of priorities and opportunities available. I believe Roma can beat Feyenoord in the play off round, and although I understand that the strength of the two clubs seems quite even. The existence of a player like Lukaku could be the difference, I hope Roma management can make his status permanent when the season ends.

Mourinho must be able to balance his team performance in Serie A, at least to be able to finish in the top four of the standings. In the European League itself, I'm sure Roma won't be eliminated too early. Their mentality is quite good after finishing as runners up last season, I think this gives high confidence to Mourinho fleet.

~~ Snip ~~
There are doubts about club management to make Felix permanent. but at least he still gets the chance to play with Xavi. maybe Xavi is still not very satisfied with his performance. Maybe there will only be a choice to make Felix permanent or bring in a new player.
Xavi may still be considering it or is looking for a player on a free transfer. Barcelona often looks for players on free transfers. so maybe it won't be too much of a burden on the club's finances.
the situation might have been different if Xavi had been given the freedom by the club to get his dream players in the team. Barca will probably return to its strong form, where the competition with Madrid is almost impossible to predict.
Actually, I would be very disappointed if Barcelona management couldn't keep Felix even though he is experiencing a decline in performance, but for me it is only temporary and in fact, for me, Felix has good talent to always appear with Barca, but however management's decision cannot be changed when it comes to finances, of course Barcelona can't do anything.
It is very natural that Barca may prioritize free players from the transfer market but are not sure which players will be successful in recruiting and whether these players can make a good contribution in the long term as we can see in a simple example from Lewandowski, he is one of the free players who was obtained. Barca, but in fact he was only able to make his best contribution at the start of the season but after entering the second half of the season Lewandowski lost his performance unlike at the start of the season.
What I'm sure of right now is that whatever players Barca recruits will definitely be better because this club still has a very reliable coach who can make the club stronger just with free players.
In my opinion, Joao Felix and Joao Cencelo are very worthy of being kept, they are quite good when playing under Xavi strategy. Barcelona has eight players on loan to a number of clubs, releasing them permanently allows Barcelona to recruit Felix and Cancelo. However in my opinion, the two Barcelona players on loan to Girona, namely Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre, deserve to be brought home, both of them have performed well this season in helping Girona top the La Liga standings.

I think there are many players who are free transfers, but not all of them are close to Gundogan quality. Barcelona management policy of promoting young players is better for long term investment, rather than looking for free transfer players who will play well in one or two seasons. The financial crisis has hampered most of Xavi plans to build squad depth, but Barcelona is still lucky to have Xavi as their current manager.

Vitor Roque is Xavi big hope for the future, this season his presence as a back-up for Lewandowski has not yet been felt. Lewandowski decline in performance is understandable due to age, and I believe that the striker will move when the season ends. Because we have to try to be realistic, it is difficult to pursue success every season when Xavi builds a squad surrounded by older players.

With the inconsistency that Napoli has experienced in the last few matches, it makes me hesitate to favor Napoli when they play Salernitana tonight. Actually, we understand that this is an easy match for Mazzari's men, but sometimes the results can be quite worrying if Napoli's game is still the same as before.

Salernitana is indeed a weak team in Serie A and they sit in the relegation zone at the moment but what is clear is that their enthusiasm will not collapse just because they play against Napoli. They will definitely take advantage of the poor performance that Napoli has had so far and Salernitana must have the courage to press if they want to steal at least 1 point in this match. Any number of points means a lot to Salernitana so that they still have a chance to survive.

I won't bet considering the result is quite difficult to predict and are you interested in betting on this match later? and what are your predictions?
It is very risky if you want to bet on Napoli winning. As you said, the match history of Mazzarri fleet in their previous matches is a strong reason behind the Napoli vs Salernitana match being worth avoiding. On paper, Napoli are very superior, but the facts they are facing give Salernitana the opportunity to pick up points, targeting at least 1 point from Napoli.

Napoli certainly wants to bounce back to mark a turning point in its performance, not to maintain the Sucdetto but to reach the top four of the standings, because I think that is the most realistic target now. To be honest, Napoli have a big chance to secure full points, because they will act as hosts, what is worrying is their reputation this season.

Salernitana have only been able to win 2 matches so far, collecting 12 points and occupying the bottom of the Serie A standings. Most likely they will be degradation to Serie B next season, Filippo Inzaghi doesn't seem to be able to make things better, his magic can't be maximized because he isn't supported by a good squad. capable, unlike his brother who is currently in charge of Inter Milan.

On 10.02. it will be decided who will be beste in the league, that is the 21st matchday of the season. The game between Leverkusen and Munich will be played in Leverkusen and the last game between the two was a 2-2 draw in Munich in September 2023. Before that, Leverkusen won 2-1 at home in March 2023. So if Bayern want to win the championship, they have to win this game. On January 24 there is the game against Berlin, what was canceled in 2023. Let see if something happens at Leverkusen until then.

Yesterday they won because Musiala scored two goals and was the best player of the game. Harry Kane scoring 22 in game 16 is a sensational performance, he showing everyone that he deserves all the money hes getting.

Before that, they still have an away game against Leipzig, which could potentially lead to a loss of points. But perhaps the game with Bayer will be decisive, there is still a month left before this match, so it is better to talk about this match in a few rounds, maybe by this time something will change for these teams. Yesterday we saw that Bayern returned from the holidays in excellent shape, today we’ll see what shape Bayer is in.
Bayern Munchen finished the match against Hoffenheim perfectly, closing the first half of the season by securing 3 points, Jamal Musiala became man of the match and Kane broke the record for top scorer in the first half of the season, previously the record was held by Lewandowski. For the time being there is only 1 point difference with Leverkusen, and I am sure Leverkusen will also close the first half of the season perfectly by beating Augsburg.

Even though they act as the visiting team, I think Xabi Alonso fleet will have no difficulty securing 3 points, because Augsburg has only been able to achieve one win in the last five matches. I see that the challenges faced by Leverkusen are increasing, because several key players have received calls to strengthen their national team, apart from that, two other players are currently injured. But I am sure Leverkusen can reduce these concerns, because they have the rotation options they need.

Meanwhile, the dynamics of competition to become top scorer this season only form two axes, between Kane and Sehrou Guirassy. Now the difference in productivity between the two is 5 goals, I think Kane will be the winner when the season ends. Tuchel was not at all wrong when he insisted on bringing in Kane, he can help Bayern compete closely with Leverkusen this season for leading the Bundesliga standings.

It's a great significance for both Arsenal and Porto to progress in Champions League, and the preparations for such high-stakes fixtures require careful planning. With every point crucial in the league, there's added pressure on Arsenal to maintain a strong lineup and avoid injuries. The hope for an injury-free month is shared by many Arsenal fans, because injuries can significantly impact the team's performance and depth.

The success of Arsenal in the UCL will likely hinge on their ability to balance their priorities between domestic and European competitions. It's common for teams to approach such critical ties with a sense of urgency. Fans will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting the clash, and the coming weeks will be crucial for both Arsenal and Porto in terms of squad management and strategic planning for these vital encounters.
The round of 16 is a very important round for both clubs to continue to advance to the quarter-finals and of course Arsenal and Porto will fight as hard as they can to show their best performance. I think both clubs will use their best players to appear impressive, of course everyone hopes that no player will get injured in every match they play, all matches are full of risk of injury. Therefore players must play more carefully and stay focused to avoid risk of injury and coaches must be clever in rotating players and implementing appropriate strategies.

If Arsenal continues to appear stable in all competitions then Arsenal's results in the Champions League can achieve the expected results and can advance to the quarter-finals, but if Arsenal's matches in the domestic league are not very consistent then the Champions League results are still quite doubtful because Porto cannot be underestimated. It is an understatement that this club plays quite well in the domestic league and in the first leg it is a good advantage for Porto to prove their strength against premier league club.
That's right, if Arsenal players can avoid injuries, they have a big chance of beating Porto and reaching the quarter finals. Currently Arsenal is unstable in the EPL, only able to achieve one win in the last five matches, balancing performance in two competitions is a very difficult effort. I hope Arteta can bring in a quality striker, to increase his chances of winning trophies this season. I think to reach the quarter finals Arsenal can do it, but to advance to the semifinals they need a good front line, Jesus, Nketiah, Havertz don't feel like they are enough to make a difference.

Rotating players to minimize injuries is already in Arteta calculations, the best formation only needs to be maximized when facing tough opponents, for now Arteta needs to do this in the EPL, because the UCL will return in mid-February. There is still an opportunity to evaluate the shortcomings, because Arteta can look for solutions in the transfer window for now. Arsenal squad depth this season is better than last season, but I feel they need a better striker.

Arteta efforts to achieve success in his fourth year at the Emirates are showing serious signs, I base this opinion by looking at their transfer market movements last summer. As far as I remember, Arsenal last advanced to the final in 2006, where they faced Barcelona at that time. This season, with the resources and attributes they have, I think the Gunners can talk a lot, but the existence of Madrid, Bayern and City as favorite teams makes it difficult for Arsenal to realize their dreams.

Girona vs Almeria, a good opportunity to take over the top of the standings from Madrid. I feel that the team at the bottom of the La Liga standings Almeria will not be able to make Girona stumble this time, even though we know that Almeria will not just give up, their only advantage is acting as hosts. There not much to say about Almeria, the rest is that I was impressed by Girona impressive performance.

Madrid will only start their match against Getafe in february, because they will focus on facing the El Clasico match in the Spanish Super Cup final. This means that Girona has the opportunity to lead the standings for more than 15 days. I think Michel and his fleet will not waste the current opportunity. Another mission is to score a large number of goals, to cut goal productivity with Los Blancos in leading the standings, a very tight competition.

On other hand, La Liga has been running for 19 matches, meaning the first half of the season has finished. However, Almeria fate is very worrying, where they have not achieved a single win, the best result they can produce is achieving 5 draws. I feel there is no hope of Almeria surviving in La Liga next season. Beating Girona to get their first win of the season seems like a very tough thing, because I'm sure Girona will not drop points.

Regarding the degradation zone, I see Everton experiencing three consecutive defeats, where Sean Dyche fleet is now ranked 17th in the standings with 16 points. Had shown signs of revival and consistency after receiving a points deduction, but now it looks like Everton is in a threatened situation. Because Everton's efforts to recover are difficult because they will face Aston Villa, Fulham and Tottenham in the next three matches.

Burnley vs Luton ended the match with a share of points, both of them are still in the degradation zone. A draw in that match saved Everton from the red zone, because they only had a goal difference with Luton, and pocketed the same number of points. I think both clubs will go down to the Championship Division next season. Everton must try their best so that they don't suffer the same fate, I think they will stay in the EPL next season.

Sheffield United occupies the bottom position of the standings, where they always provide points for whoever their opponents are. I think Sheffield is the club with the most potential for degradation, they were only able to win 2 matches, drew 3 and lost the remaining 15 matches. Only a miracle can save them from staying in the EPL.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 12, 2024, 09:21:40 PM
Roma will have another big match and the opponent is very strong, AC Milan. Roma don't have good head to head record against AC Milan and the record is worse at San Siro, AC Milan's home stadium.

They will play this match at San Siro with another disadvantage, without Mourinho on the pitch.

AC Milan can win this match and continue to secure their third position as well as wait for two leading teams with not good results and hope that they can join Scudetto race again. AS Roma, if losing this match, will fall farther behind some competitors in top four competition.

I think it will be the game of no more possible comeback for both teams.

If Mila loses, they will be probably out of the Scudetto race.

If Roma loses, they will probably be out from the champions league spot race.
Milan is 9 points adrift of standings leader Inter Milan, it is still possible for Pioli fleet to reduce the point difference, but that means Milan has to wait for Inter to lose in his three matches. Juventus is Inter closest competitor for now, and I think the second half of the season will still be the same. It is also feared that Milan still will lose points if they face fellow big clubs in the second half of the season, in that case I think Juventus is better than Milan in the race to win the Scudetto.

Roma has a great opportunity to penetrate the UCL zone, they are only 4 points away from Fiorentina at the moment. But we know Roma will travel to San Siro to kick off their campaign in the second half of the season, where I believe they will drop points. Automatically their intention to get into the top four is postponed again, but that is just a personal assumption. Maybe the opposite is true, we'll see how this meeting ends.

On the other hand, Milan clearly has an advantage due to acting as host, and in the last 5 matches Milan has only lost 1 time and 1 draw. Meanwhile, Roma experienced 2 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 win. Maybe from these statistics it can clearly give us an idea if we want to bet, Milan deserves to be superior.

But it's kind of weird that this is the second season in a row that the team has performed poorly. It's not a bad performance though, more like an unlike Chelsea. And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

How can a team has the same number of win and loss and we expect them to bouce back, how? Not like there is changed or new player that has come into effect. I remember the last time when Lampard was facing the same challenges, Kante came and everyone was thinking yes, he will improve the quality of their performance but it seems the opposite was what happen. To effect a major change in the team, the coach must go and that is Pochettino and his crew including the assistant.


I have my doubts it will happen anytime soon, it's more likely to be delayed until the end of the season, either at half time they could sack him or right at the end, although I don't see the point of that, there's little to change at the end. If Chelsea continue in the same vein, they will definitely finish the season in the second half of the standings, and that's a serious wake up call, you could say that Chelsea have levelled with average clubs and are no longer in the top
Many believe that if Abramovich was still the owner of the Chelsea club, Pochettino would have been fired by now. All his efforts led to setbacks, some of the players recruited last summer did not show their best performance, and some of them even ended up in the treatment room due to injuries. Nkunku, who has just appeared since being brought from Leipzig, has suffered another injury, Jackson has now received a call to play for the national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, and I think Pochettino is experiencing a big headache at the moment.

Honestly, I agree if Pochettino is fired, in order to save the club reputation. We can say that Chelsea has now turned into a mediocre club, as proof that they lost to Middlesbrough which we never imagined would happen. However, it seems that management still believes that Pochettino is the right person, even though some fans are currently urging him to resign as head coach.

There is no longer any discussion about Chelsea chances of winning any trophies this season, if they cannot recruit sharp players up front. A squad that is mostly made up of young players is not enough to make the Blues consistent, maybe recruiting an experienced striker will make them improve in the second half of the season. It is indeed very difficult to do, and I think Chelsea will miss European competition again next season if they don't find a solution soon.
736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 12, 2024, 08:40:13 PM
Every team has an impact it causes on the players, sometimes the players see the benefits in the team and basks in it, they perform well but when they make a move to another team, maybe their performance slacks. It's just unpredictable but sometimes there are factors to it. It's only advisable that a player be careful about every team decision he'd make. Left for me I'll say, Sancho made the wrong decision by moving to United, and it's really affected his football career over the months.

 Sometimes a team's performance is depreciated and it's risky that a player seeing that condition would join and expect to do better all of a sudden. Sometimes the manager's strategy may not complement the players' style but there just has to be a form of endurance and push through too. Well the whole style of football is unpredictable and should be embraced and worked on when the need arises.
On the other hand, Sancho is known for his stubborn character and is difficult to manage, which is why he is now at Dortmund as a loan player. Previously, several clubs were reportedly interested in recruiting him as a loan player, such as Juventus. Man United are probably going through their worst period, and Sancho is a player who adds work to Ten Hag in terms of discipline and the way he behaves.

I won't say that he failed miserably at Old Trafford, but I agree with you in that the strategy implemented by the coach sometimes doesn't allow Sancho to unleash his best potential. We will see how his second period with Dortmund goes, if Sancho can help Dortmund and contribute greatly then Ten Hag is completely wrong in managing his talent.

This is a moment to prove yourself to everyone, that you must make the best use of this second chance. I'm sure the adaptation process itself won't take much time, but there are concerns that Sancho absence for half the season while at United will cause his game to decline.

In fact Sevilla have failed and slumped from last season but yes, last season Sevilla were still lucky to win the Europa League title so Sevilla got a Champions League ticket. But this season, Sevilla was really devastated because they were not successful in Europe and also, Sevilla failed to finish in the top zone in the La Liga table. Although indeed, there is still a second half of the season but obviously, considering the results that Sevilla has had so far this season, then Sevilla is just trying not to be relegated and that is Sevilla's main priority at this moment.
Talking about Sevilla, this team still hasn't learned much from previous experiences and as one of the big teams in La Liga, they tell us all that they are just a weak team that will continue to fall without any real progress every season. I really appreciate their consistency in European league competitions and winning them repeatedly, but actually this is not good when every season they always fight at the bottom so as not to be relegated.

This season Sevilla have failed in two European competitions and the only reason they are staying now is so they can appear in La Liga again next season but if they don't take it seriously then other teams will take advantage of their weaknesses and throw them into La Liga 2 at the same time.

Anyway, the distance between the teams below Sevilla is not that far and this would be a bad result if Sevilla really failed this season.
That's right, the most realistic effort for Sevilla this season is to fight not to be degradation, so they can return to appearing in La Liga next season. I understand that Sevilla is experiencing a financial crisis, the same as Barcelona, but I never expected such a drastic decline in performance. Now Sevilla is only one point away from Cadiz who are in the degradation zone, if they don't change things immediately they will sink more quickly.

In fact, this january transfer window could be an instant solution to add strength to the main squad, but finances are preventing this effort from happening. I think one of the best options for Sevilla is to promote young players, as Barcelona did in anticipating their needs.

There is still hope for Sevilla to rise and avoid the degradation zone, and indeed making this happen is not an easy job. As a club that has a good history in La Liga and the European League, Sevilla should be able to overcome their challenges in the future.

at the moment it looks like Man City and Real Madrid won't be able to reach the final round too easily because currently there are 2 teams that will also be strong challengers such as Inter and Bayern Munich which currently look very strong but for me Inter is not that strong but Munich looks like it very convincing to prevent Madrid and Man City from winning the title in the UCL.
Kane is still Tuchel mainstay and as long as there is this player Bayern Munich in the UCL will continue to fight to qualify until the final round but I am sure Real Madrid will break Bayern Munich strength.

I think the final match will be Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. City is indeed very strong in the Champions League and they are also the defending champions. De Bruyne's injury had a big impact on City's game and we know last season they won the treble with a big role from KDB and Haaland. So I favor Madrid vs Munich which will be the final match. I put City in third place and Barcelona in fourth place. I think everyone should not forget Barcelona because they are also one of the strong teams in the Champions League even though their current performance does not make them one of the favorites to win this season.
Ideally, the UCL Final match would bring together two favorite clubs with equal strength, such as Madrid, Bayern, City or Inter. The reason I included Inter was because of the runnerup factor last season, the rest I saw that Inzaghi performance and his fleet were still very stable this season. It does not rule out the possibility that these four teams will be eliminated early, even though we know their chances are very high when they face their opponents in each match. On the other hand, we cannot underestimate the other contestants, because they are also ambitious to go further and take advantage of the opportunities available.

Overall, general factors such as injuries to key players, busy match schedules and fatigue will greatly influence the team chances of realizing their dream of winning a trophy. Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal and Dortmund are the teams that I think will advance to the quarter finals, where they will have the opportunity to be opponents of the favorite teams that I mentioned earlier. Considering that the new match will start in mid February, we still need to wait and assess their current performance by referring to domestic competitions as a reference.

It could be that Barcelona will show a different performance in the UCL compared to La Liga, and that must be shown by beating Napoli first in the round of 16. I think Xavi can bring Barcelona through to the semifinals, considering their reputation and mentality in the UCL, Barcelona should be atrying to improve its performance to become the favorite team in the future.

Chelsea must quickly forget their defeat to Middlesbrough because if they are still lamenting their defeat, it could have a bad influence on their morale. They have a good chance of getting full points in the Premier League because they will be playing at home. Even though Fulham managed to make a surprise by beating Arsenal, but still, Fulham had an inconsistent performance and their condition was no better than Chelsea.
In reality it is true that Fulham is not better than Chelsea, I am still optimistic that the Blues can secure full points at Stanford Bridge. Not without reason, just yesterday Pochettino fleet suffered a humiliating defeat, and that will at least motivate the players to perform optimally in week 21. However, if I had to choose, personally I would avoid betting on both, because they are both inconsistent and it is very easy to lose points.

If Fulham lose points it will seem normal because they are not part of the elite clubs in the last decade. However, if Chelsea experienced this, it would be a surprise, because it has the status of a big and elite club. A very simple background, but the impact would be very big if Pochettino had not been able to recover after being defeated by Middlesbrough.

The challenge faced by Pochettino is player injuries, a problem that has never been resolved from the start of the season until now. Luckily, Jackson is on duty to defend the national team, because if he is available Pochettino almost always includes him in the starting XI, his presence does not improve Chelsea chances at all. In many ways, Fulham actually also has the opportunity to be like Middlesbrough, because the Blues have many shortcomings this season.

If I'm not mistaken, instead of leaving but Osimhen actually extended his contract at Napoli. If that really happens then yes, I think Osimhen prefers to stay at Napoli instead of leaving. Obviously, such a choice is an inappropriate choice for Osimhen to stay at Napoli because yes, basically Napoli do not always consistently compete in the title race and thus, then of course it would be better to leave. But yes, about the bad trend experienced by Chelsea over the past few seasons, it seems to be a difficult job for anyone Chelsea coach. Because yes, from several coach changes made by Chelsea, but in reality Chelsea still failed to recover. Therefore, I am not sure the problems Chelsea are experiencing are only with the players mentioned, because in reality Chelsea are still failing as a whole.

Osimhen extended the contract until the summer of 2026 (by the way, only two years, not such a long period) and the amount of compensation for early termination of the contract is 130 million euros. We have already seen that this is a ridiculous amount for top transfers lately, so there are no guarantees that Osimhen will remain in Napoli for another 2 seasons, but given that Napoli is in crisis (like Osimhen), it is unclear whether other clubs want him now as they wanted him before (at least taking into account such compensation).
There is an opportunity for Chelsea to recruit Osimhen in January and we know that Chelsea is known as a club that is wasteful in buying new players. We've seen how active Chelsea management was last summer in recruiting players, and I don't think money is a big issue for them. However, there are concerns that Chelsea must pay attention to player transfer policies, so as not to receive sanctions for violating FFP rules.

Most recently, Osimhen was reportedly involved in another conflict, but this time not with club staff. But with an agent from his colleague Kvaratskhelia. The agent said that Osimhem had the potential to go to the SPL, this sparked Osimhen anger. I think things like that have more or less disturbed Osimhen comfort, therefore a club like Chelsea seems to have the opportunity to recruit him now.

If you look at Napoli and Chelsea this season, the performance of both clubs is almost equally unstable. Napoli are slightly better because they play in the UCL, and if this season Chelsea can finish in the top four it might make it easier to recruit Osimhen to bring to Stamford Bridge. Personally, I hope Osimhen can be recruited by Chelsea, but the competition to get his signature is not an easy matter.
