Antonio Conte has had his biggest achievements with Italian teams in his career so far. Especially with Juventus. Now it is nice to see him back in the Serie A again if this news is saying the truth about this transfer.  He has managed mostly Italian teams and two English teams. He generally has a successful career. I think there would be a good chemistry between him and Milan as well. But first as you said he should be allowed to make the needed kind of transfers for this team. Because I also don't find the current squad strong enough to be competitive for the league title. After that Milan can return to their successful times again hopefully. |

I agree about Klopp's current condition. I also think he must be really exhausted after a quite long career he has had so far. He started his first manager work at Mainz in 2001. There has really been a lot of years passed since then. He has had a really successful manager career at the same time you know. I would like to praise especially his time with Liverpool until this point. Because he has obtained his biggest achievements with this team so far. A Champions League title, a Premier League title and many more... I think he is already one of the best managers in Liverpool history. |

Girona continue to win indeed. It wasn't one of the most comfortable wins for them though. Especially in the first half Celta Vigo seemed quite effective. But they couldn't benefit from the goal opportunities they found. Girona's goal was a result of a really decent attacking organization by the way. They showed to us once again how a team play should actually be. By the way Real Madrid could have really lost points against Las Palmas. The winning goal came quite. Tchouameni was really like a savior for the team as he scored it only three minutes after entering the game.  Real Madrid still hold an important advantage in hand. In case they win their absent game they are taking the lead by a gap of two points. |

I hope everything would be fine after Klopp leaves Liverpool as well. Because it isn't easy to find a solid manager like him these days. Let's see if Liverpool can give him a good present before Klopp leaves. Here in the Europa League they are the biggest favourite to win the title you know. As long as they are able to beat the biggest threats like Leverkusen it wouldn't be a problem for them to make it. But in case of a matchup against Leverkusen I wouldn't expect things to be easy at all for the English team though. They're in line to win three different trophies at the end of the season, I want to finally say they'd be able to win the European Europa League Competition at the end of the season. The finals against Chelsea would be won by Chelsea most definitely and Mauricio Pochetino would win his very first Competition. I remember them both meeting during the Champions League finals between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. For the Premier League!!! I'm totally mute and jas no contribution to give in this very game and season. The league is still very open for anyone to be the winner. Best bet would still be on Arsenal. Indeed Liverpool have quite many opportunities in hand to have good achievements this season. About the EFL Cup finale against Chelsea I would favour Liverpool to become the champions. But Pochettino would really make use of a title out of nowhere while having a problematic season at Chelsea. But I can't say they are good enough against Liverpool in finales.  While Manchester City are still a huge threat it is really difficult to be confident about Liverpool to win the Premier League title. I will give you that. But hopefully Liverpool don't finish the season without a single title. |

Xavi accepted that this was his fault Barcelona started to go down in performance this much. There is a really significant change compared to the previous season. Their defense is so vulnerable and I can't imagine them against Napoli in this situation. I mean Napoli have a really dangerous attacking line you know. Players like Osimhen can take advantage of that weakness very well.
Like I said before I don't expect Barcelona to get past this round unless they improve their defending. Apart from that it is Xavi's own choice to leave Barcelona this summer. He didn't want to get sacked instead after a painful run as it seems.

It is really difficult to understand Marcus Rashford. He has been inconsistent over the years. For example he had a wonderful season previously. Under Erik ten Hag's management Rashford also played a significant role in Manchester United to start fixing their problems. His performance played a really good role in his team to join the Champions League as well. But now we see a Rashford who has lost his way. He doesn't look very keen on finding it either considering his general performance level so far. While he is one of the most crucial players for the Red Devils this is making a bad impact on the results. What's wrong with Marcus Rashford? is he in trouble now? I don't really follow the news, so I hope you can provide information here. If we talk about the previous season, of course his performance and achievements really helped the Red Devils to get a place in the Champions League. Now he has declined and finds it very difficult to adapt in every game so we rarely see him contributing fully to the club. I think there are times when a player seems to experience instability and maybe he should fix it before it's too late and the possibility of being sidelined by Erik Ten Hag becomes greater. The problem with him is that he isn't able to make much of a score contribution this season. This is like a big recession compared to the previous season. Manchester United have been able to score only 24 goals in 21 league games so far. If Rashford was able to play like in the previous season he would have made a direct impact on this statistics.
By the way Altay Bayindir had his first official game with Manchester United. His rating was 7.3 which was quite decent. But maybe he could have still done a better job about especially the first goal he conceded. But I don't want to criticize him much because this was his first game here. |

On the other hand, Mourinho is reportedly being approached by Newcastle, I feel he would be a good fit for the club, because they are building strength to be able to win the EPL title under their new owners. Apart from that, Xavi future is still full of question marks, maybe he will train a club outside Spain to continue his managerial career after officially parting ways with Barcelona.
I was thinking about maybe we would see Mourinho managing Napoli after some rumours came out. However Napoli president De Laurentiis closed the doors for Mourinho by a recent statement he made. De Laurentiis stated that they had no intention of bringing him to the team and his future team were just outside Italy from now on. I haven't heard anything about Newcastle links. The thing I can see on the news is Mourinho's being one of the candidates for Liverpool job as Klopp is leaving by the end of the season. But would Mourinho be a good replacement for Klopp? |

I haven't seen anything related to this news. Thomas Tuchel will remain Bayern Munich head coach for the next few months until the management can go ahead and access his full season with em.
It was a lucky Bundesliga League Competition winner for him during his first six months with em, hope's are he'll make them better this season but it seems like Xabi Alonso having all of the fun alone.
Amongst name to replace Xavi Hernandez, Hansi Flick, Roberto De Zebri and Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel is far from the names mentioned on the list for his replacement. Regard that news as false.
Me neither. The only update about Thomas Tuchel that I can see is about Sacha Boey's transfer now. There is no such statement made by him like he would like to leave Bayern Munich. When it comes to the names to replace Xavi it is also true. We can include Arteta there as well because of some rumours about it recently. But Barcelona doesn't look interested in bringing Tuchel now. Besides it is still early to talk about Tuchel's future. Because the title competition is going on really rough and it is hard to predict who will become champions. If Bayern Munich can't make it this time then maybe Tuchel's probability of departure would increase. |

Win tonight's match with Fiorentina as an away match, if Inter Milan win then the points will pass Juventus especially after the match with Fiorentinan Inter Milan still have a match left, if they win it then the points will be even further away especially with AC Milan.
But I am brave enough to take a bet on Inter Milan tonight with odds of 1.91 duelbits betting market.
That is what we know that Fiorentina is now quite solid at home with a draw still very possible but my instinct says this could be an Inter Milan victory because this club wants to win points so as not to fail the same as Juventus and AC Milan in the current week.
If you didn't change your mind then congratulations on your winnings. Inter really won by a 1-0 score but it wasn't easy at all that's for sure. They scored the goal really early in the game thanks to Lautaro Martinez. Fiorentina really did their best after that. Nicolas Gonzalez even missed a penalty which was like the turning point of the game. It must be really devastating for him to miss a penalty a short time after entering the game. Now Inter have captured a really great advantage over Juventus. |

Yeah, Xavi has officially announced his intention to leave Barcelona. It wasn't very surprising to me thinking of his threatening the players to leave before if they weren't going to improve their performances.
We must have all seen what Barcelona did against Villarreal a short time after that talk. It was just a little faster than the time I thought Xavi would decide to leave. From now on I hope Barcelona can manage to find a good manager for themselves. Xavi wasn't bad in the previous season. But things haven't gone the way he would like this season so far. As this is his personal decision I respect that.

There are quite many players missing at PSG side before the Brest game today. However I still don't expect this to be any hindrance for PSG to win the game. Mbappe's presence is even enough to increase the attacking force of the lineup. But a good team play is always the most important thing. Brest are having a much better season now. They wouldn't play timidly against PSG I assume. Therefore PSG had better be aware of counter-attacks. If they have the game under control it shouldn't be a huge problem for PSG to win tonight. |

First of all I think it is quite normal that all these rumors are now popping up like they always do, but this time are there are more things that could turn out to be some interesting coincidences. Like Xabi Alonso once played for Liverpool and now suddenly Klopp steps back despite leading the Premier League, then there are more rumors that Klopp's next job could be in Germany in some function. These rumors will now pop up on a weekly basis until we get the answers as to what's really going to happen. Mourinho is still free, imagine one coach gets fired by a top team, then the next rumors will come up. Same for Mbappe. There will be a lot of stuff to talk about for us.  If Klopp goes to Germany I think his next address would be Dortmund or Bayern Munich. He managed Dortmund for 7 years already though. I'm curious about whether he would still like to go back there. In case of Terzic is sacked by Dortmund they can really think of making some attempts for bringing their old manager back. Klopp had nice years there. If Bayern Munich decide to part ways with Tuchel for a reason this summer then I think they would also like to make an offer to Klopp. But I don't know which one would be their first choice.  Xabi Alonso or Klopp? My choice would be Klopp honestly thinking of his being a very experienced and successful manager. |

It looks like the same thing will happen as happened last season, where Bayern Munich was not very sure of becoming champions but still managed to defend the title.
The draw with Mönchengladbach was not a defeat, but it looked like a defeat because Bayer Leverkusen wasted the opportunity to maintain a large points gap with Bayern Munich, but usually Xabi Alonso's team will recover in the next match, only they have to try to get full points, not just not Defeated because too many draws will be quite detrimental later.
Leipzig lost badly to Stuttgart making them suffer three consecutive defeats, and losing 11 points from five matches will make their position in the top four threatened because Dortmund will have the opportunity to shift their position if they win against Bochum, and if we look at the odds Dortmund has a very good chance of getting three-point and they should maximize it well.
It was such an unlucky evening for Leverkusen. Because the domination level was just enormous. Especially in the second half I mean. Gladbach had 0.00 xG with 0 goal attempt in the whole half. Leverkusen had 28 goal attempts in total 8 of which were on target in the game. But still no goal and a 0-0 result... As Bayern Munich beat Augsburg the point gap has dropped to only two. But of course this kind of things will happen for both of the title contenders throughout the season. Leverkusen's next game is against Darmstadt which is a good opportunity to make up for the last result. |

I agree with people who think Xabi Alonso could be a good replacement for Klopp at Liverpool. Because Xabi Alonso is like a rising star among managers these days. This is the first serious job in his manager career but he has made a great start already. Being competitive for title in the Bundesliga is very impressive work in presence of a strong Bayern Munich on one hand. If Real Madrid didn't extend with Ancelotti then maybe they would have brought Xabi Alonso. But at the end of the season I see a good opportunity for Liverpool to maintain success. Of course there is guarantee for anything but I just believe in Xabi Alonso after what I have seen from him so far. So far from them players who have excelled in the Premier League during them playing days haven't done too well with the managerial experience and coaching job. So far I can only boast of Mikel Arteta from the Premier League who have done great job for the gunners. Players like, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Patrice Vierra and Co's all have flopped it'll be a good time to finally see Xabi Alonso returning having shown what he's with younger players. He'll for sure be the best replacement for Jurgen Klopp only if Bayern Munich won't snatch him from underneath them nose in broad daylight. I'm keen to see his decisions though. This is also a point that I refrain from to happen. Bayern Munich could also try to sign him if they start being uncomfortable with Tuchel's management. If they lose the Bundesliga title chance to Leverkusen at the end of the season then the probability of this would be higher than now. But if they maintain their title series then I don't think they would make such move. The unsuccessful manager examples you have given are so true. Lampard for example managed Everton for a while and couldn't do more than keeping Everton in the Premier League. |

There are already rumours out on the internet about Xabi Alonso and Liverpool. After Klopp has announced that he is going to leave Liverpool by the end of this season people have been discussing about who they would bring here to fill his place strongly. Xabi Alonso idea has come to the minds not much time later of course. However Leverkusen feel confident about him to stay at least for another season. They say Xabi Alonso has already started to build the squad for next season. Maybe things can really go on like they expect but I can't be sure of that. He played for Liverpool for years as well so Liverpool must have a special place in his heart. |

What could Inter have wanted more than Juventus and Milan both losing points on the same week? Especially Juventus' losing points is great news for Inter in the title competition. If it weren't for Milik's very early red card in the game I think Juventus would have won against Empoli. Juventus still scored first but they couldn't have things under control later on. While Inter are in a great shape Juventus players must be really sad now. Inter's next game isn't easy though. Fiorentina are having a decent season in the league. They are one of the solid home teams too. Maybe they could hold Inter off somehow. |

What is happening in the Barcelona - Villarreal game?? I really can't believe my eyes.  First a 2-0 disadvantage against Villarreal after that a comeback by Barcelona to 3-2. But this was just the beginning. Villarreal answered with an insane comeback right after that to win the game by 5-3... This is just a huge embarrassment for Barcelona that's for sure. Xavi has already been criticised and people will increase the critism level even more after this terrible result. |
