First maybe he is still not very comfortable with his condition at Manchester United because his wish to move was not granted and other reasons at this time we also have to look at the age he is now. we can't force him to continue to play well like the previous seasons when he was still productive.
Actually there is no special detention for Ronaldo's move from Manchester United to another team. The problem is that there is no team that can accommodate Ronaldo at this time because the team is constrained by costs and the team is also hunting for new, young players. Meanwhile Ronaldo is no longer in that category even though it still costs a lot for the team if you want to get Ronaldo at this time and I think this is contrary to the goals of all teams at this time so many teams are discouraged from getting Ronaldo. There was no special detention, but indeed there were some remarks that seemed to be detention, such as when Ten Hag's statement that he wanted him and so on. But indeed the main reason in this case apart from Ronaldo being aware that only a few clubs were interested and qualified for him, he was also aware that his salary was too high so it was difficult at that time but indeed for now the price has started to drop significantly. |

I wonder what caused the fact that Ronaldo's form is far from optimal. Is it because of a failed move to another club that he messed up pre-season or because he planned to peak his form for the World Cup? It would be very interesting if the latter. Portugal are unlikely to achieve much in the World Cup, but this is the last World Cup for Ronaldo and he obviously wants to do his best.

Tottenham won big in the weekend game against Leicester city, this was an unexpected winning for Tottenham since Leicester City has been consistent with either winning or playing draw this season, and with the result of today's game Tottenham's points will indeed shoot up. Where clubs like Newcastle United played draw against Bournemouth both clubs were competing for the same position with Tottenham but with this winning of 6 goals to 2 Tottenham have indeed changed the faith of this season going up to play against other bigger clubs in the tournament this season.
This reinforces two things I believe in at the moment. the first is that Tottenham have been getting better this season with a few new signings and the tactics that Conte has employed for them are going according to plan and the second is that Leicester are now playing really badly after bringing out some of their first-choice players. Losing some of their core players in the transfer market last season, especially for the defense, obviously made this worse. Now it definitely seems like they are no longer a dark horse after several seasons of always being a successful EPL dark horse team. |

Let's talk less about Haaland's impact until the end of the season to see where his impct will take Manchester City to the finals and eventually become the champion and come top on the premier league table. Manchester City has been playing skillful football and the midfield is strong to resist any counterattack so Haaland as a striker has less work to do in the front line and any goal attempt can easily be conceived by their opponents.
There's no need to expect far until the end of the season and the final, now we just have to focus on his performance, which is currently in top condition. In Football sometimes things are very difficult to predict and anything can still happen so there is no need to speculate on Haaland for the next few weeks because this is just a speculative part and we also don't know what will happen next. |

Lazio of course surprised all their fans with such an embarrassing score... The most interesting thing is that so far all the teams in this group have the same number of points, wins and losses... And at the moment the chances of getting out of the group are the same for all teams... But if Midtjylland keep on playing the same way, they are the first play-off contenders...
A performance that calls it "embarrassing" is almost like a compliment. Verbal apologies for what happened yesterday are useless on the part of the team group. Players and technical staffs should apologize in a serious and honorable way by refunding travel and tickets to the over 200 supporters who were there to watch that shambolic performance. Agree with what you said. Even though from the start they looked very confident with their condition and their opponent who could be said to be a team under them. But Lazio's performance was really bad in this match and massacre was inevitable. I think in this case Maurizio Sarri really got the spotlight after returning to Italy lol |

The low-level team duel between Valladolid vs Cadiz. This is a match between two teams who are still struggling to stay away from the relegation zone, especially for Cadiz. But I doubt they (Cadiz) will be able to win this match even though their opponent is a team that is in a difficult situation as well. In the end I have to say that Cadiz will again take the bitter pill in this match.
I think, Cadiz will defeat Valladolid 3-1 for the favour of Cadiz because Cadiz will ensure they use all their strategies in this match to embrace points that will make their fans to believe that they can get to the top in this la Liga league competition. Valladolid are still lacking in the areas of goalkeeper and defenders that is making the team not to demonstrate well in some matches, which their coach is working seriously to get it right before the end of this tournament. It will be difficult for Valladolid to make this match draw 1-1, because Cadiz strikers are very good in achieving early goals that will make their opponent to give up before the end of the match. On what basis are you so sure about that because now we know what their performance is like. 3 goals I think is very difficult for them to do at this time when their condition which has never been able to score a goal during this season rolls around. Seeing this it looks like you don't even know what Cadiz's performance is like at the moment and it's funny to say Cadiz is better than Valladolid for now lol |

Jude Bellingham is a very talented young player and it is not surprising that many teams are starting to be interested in signing him, but I think it will be difficult to bring Bellingham in in the near future apart from he is under contract until 2025 but also Dortmund have just lost their striker Haalaand so maybe it will it is difficult for Dortmund to release other players in the near future, Bellingham performance in game against Manchester city yesterday really deserves to be praised because he was able to make a big contribution to the game of dortmund, apart from Liverpool and Manchester united, Guardiola is reportedly very interested in signing Bellingham to the etihad stadium in January.
I think it will be another drama for Dortmund because I think they will still hold Bellingham in the same way as when Haaland was in Dortmund. They won't be in a rush to let go of their young players especially when the price isn't really to their liking. Every season Dortmund seems to be busy with drama of potential young players lol. |

But this is still better for them than having to lose again.
We also know that Salzburg is one of the dark horses with a very good defense, so it is indeed very difficult for them to destroy the Salzburg defense, especially with Chelsea's condition which is in a transition period as it is now due to a change of coach. I don't think Chelsea will have much of a chance of qualifying for the last 16 if they don't improve. If on matchday 3 Chelsea don't win the match, then I believe they only deserve to be thrown into the Europa League this season. Don't know if Potter was really prepared for all these consequences, but yes I think there is still hope for their revival after a few weeks gap for the Champions League. For the next match, Chelsea will travel to Milan. I don't think it was an easy match for them to win especially Milan are a very good team so far. Milan is expected to win, but chelsea will definitely try desperately to get points. There are still some games left and their chances are still there now. We can't say for sure it won't develop because we know it was Potter's debut and it's clear he still has a chance to improve Chelsea's form. I'm still pretty sure he can improve his performance as for the Champions League as long as in the remaining 4 matches they perform well then the chance to qualify for the next phase is clear. |

The surprising match of the day for me was chelsea vs salzburg. Chelsea played almost one goal for 90 minutes. Salzburg couldn't even attack properly. Despite this, they drew at home and I think they got a bad result for themselves.
Chelsea players dominated the entire match. Still they did not win. I expected Chelsea to win this match. Because they played very well. The main task of Salzburg's players was only to resist Chelsea's attack. And this they have managed to do quite well. And managed to earn 1 point by drawing the match. Getting a point against Chelsea in their home match is a big achievement for Salzburg. But this is still better for them than having to lose again. We also know that Salzburg is one of the dark horses with a very good defense, so it is indeed very difficult for them to destroy the Salzburg defense, especially with Chelsea's condition which is in a transition period as it is now due to a change of coach. |

James and Marcelo are two players who are experienced enough so that it is very useful for Olympiacos to go through this season, the arrival of Marcelo and James will certainly make Olympiacos stronger and able to compete in the Greek and European leagues, actually Jamez has good performed so far with the Qatar club Al Rayyan, but his desire to return to Europe forced Al Rayyan to loan James to Olimpiakos at the close of the Greek transfer market, I think even though James is no longer young, but he is still able to show impressive performances in playing so far.
Besides that they already know each other very well because they have been in Madrid before so this is a good thing for the Olimpiacos. I'm a fan of Madrid and I wish them there now maybe I will follow some of the games they will run especially in the Europa League even though in the first 2 games they didn't go well |

Barcelona are very lucky to have two easy opponents now - Elche and then Mallorca ahead of the meeting with Inter. It is already obvious that it is Inter and Barcelona who will play for second place. If Barcelona even draw away from Inter, they will have a significant advantage. So far, Barcelona is on its easy side of the calendar.
It could indeed be an easy win back for them in La Liga while resting some of their core players to face Inter. But indeed in this case I am serious about them especially regarding Lewa. Even though his role is quite vital but he should be rested more often because this is also good enough for him to stay fit for a big game because there are still some strikers who can be played for rotation. |

Manchaser United have a tough task today. They need to beat Sheriff away. Of course I'm kidding and I think Manchester United can beat Sheriff, although the latter beat current champion Real Madrid last season. But I think it will be much easier today. But the interesting game for me will be Betis - Ludogorets. I think the visitors have a chance to win this match.
Manchester united must win today against the sheriff, the defeat of sociedad should be an evaluation for Ten Hag to be able to rotate his players well and not underestimate other teams that are considered below their level, but it seems that Ten Hag job is quite difficult to get 3 points today this is because Rasfhord who is having an impressive performance can't play today, losing Rashford may be replaced by Ronaldo but considering Ronaldo performance is below the standard of course requires Ten Hag to look for other options later. The score ends in a win for Them. To be honest maybe this is something that is natural but if we look at this moment their victory was so expected and Ronaldo after so long finally he scored again even though it was only from a penalty. But we still see one thing here even though they have the ball but their chances are still low I think. |

did not expect C Ronaldo's performance to drop drastically from last season. This proves that he is actually not as comfortable as when he first showed his feet at Old Trafford.
It is not Ronaldo's fault, you know he wanted to leave the club, and if there was any good team with a good offer he will not be in United now, but there he is, i don't think the club are too happy with him either, as he wanted to leave because they are playing in the Europa league, they feel it didn't show loyalty from Ronaldo, he also clashed with the manager in pre season when he left the stadium during half time in one of their games. These have affected Ronaldo, and now the manager does not start him always, he was playing good last season as he was always in the team, but you don't expect him to keep that performance up when he sits on the bench for most of the game. But in reality no club dares to give him big money at the moment. Regardless of the reason he now has to accept that he has to be in the Europa League and insisting that he wants to move when no team wants to take him at such a high price is definitely something that can't be done because pushing it will be useless in the end. All he has to do is blend in with the current scheme because I'm sure he's not done yet. |

I am aware that we cannot compare CL with domestic leagues but how in the world can Leverkusen win vs ATM with 2 goals to 0!
Leverkusen has a catastrophic season in Bundesliga with only 1 victory in 6 games! They even lost vs Brugge in the first match group of CL.
I can't imagine them defying Real Madrid unless Real aren't in their normal performance in that away game.
For Barcelona, you have the feeling that they didn't recover from the psychological impact of Real Madrid mass destruction previously.
It's not very suitable to compare the Champions League with domestic leagues but of course this can be a comparison that Atletico are not in good form and the defeat against Leverkusen is proof that their condition is not too good at the moment. From this alone we already know that Madrid's chances are much bigger at this time. |

Good news for all Barcelona fans - Gavi has finally agreed to a contract extension. The new one is valid until the summer of 2026.
The release clause is now an already standardized 1 billion euros - and is becoming totally pointless.
Gavi is one of the most promising youngsters around and Barca's board will be thrilled to have finally got this done and signed.
Quite meaningful numbers - I think, for example, Borussia regretted not signing Haaland on such terms. It is clear that no one will pay a billion for any player (at least the next decade), but if the club has such a contract, then it can get the maximum from the sale of the player instead of the player being sold for a relatively small amount and at the same time receiving a huge signing bonus. We know that Dortmund is one club that always maximizes opportunities with minimal finances and tries to sell at high prices. I think regardless of regret or not they are still on their way by continuing to make talented players and selling them for high prices because that is their focus and will not go down a path like this to hold players back. |

Roma have little chance of winning the Italian league if they are still playing unstable.
Milan or Inter are still my favorites to be champion this season!!
Their current aim is not to win because there are still many clubs that have a greater chance than Roma in this regard. Their aim is to stay in the top 4 I think so it's not too burdensome but still very good going forward because Mou knows for his current squad he doesn't have the capacity to be champions this season. |

Empoli consistently draw with any team, strong Verona, Salernitana or Fiorentina... I think Roma are one of those teams, maybe a little stronger... The odds for Roma to win looks interesting - 1.74, but the fact that both teams will score is even more interesting - 1.9... I think the second option is more likely today...
In this match, it is likely that Empoli will still do the same by maximizing their draw but on the other hand, of course, Roma will now be putting pressure on them because they will definitely maximize this because they still want to win to break into the top 4. But indeed Roma's productivity problem has always been their problem in the few matches they missed so I think this match will be a slim win for them again. |

The role of Sevilla, Atletico, Valencia and other teams is only limited to disturbing Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid is still very tough for other teams, so far no team has been able to steal points from Real Madrid. Barcelona which was held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano in the first match has begun to show its identity. Xavi Hernandez troops not only won 4 matches in a row in La Liga, but Barcelona is also the only team that has a high level of goal productivity. I think only Barcelona can stop Real Madrid winning streak, because these two teams have been very superior this season.
Seville, Valencia? Annoying Madrid and Barcelona? Are you serious about that. This season Sevilla have been playing really bad and even saying Vallencia I think you are joking here because in the last few years they have only been in the middle of the table not even bothering the top 4. Why don't you say Betis now because from last season they troubled some of the big teams instead of including Valencia and Sevilla today. |

But it can also be a double-edged sword because as you said, if he manages to lift Chelsea's form obviously his future will be brighter but if he doesn't it would be quite an incredible joke and the same could have happened when Rangnick replaced Ole. in this case.
But indeed in this case he did not want to waste the opportunity and that is one of the good things I can see from Potter.
It will truly begin a new era to the coaching world if Graham potter succeed at Chelsea, it will change how people look at good coaches when they are playing for a small club, for me he deserves the switch, because he has been playing good football for years now at the premier League and has been link to arsenal and Tottenham in the past too so is good to see what he can do at a big club, and is also a big moment in his life also just last week he is coaching Brighton and now he will be in charge of a team that will be playing champions League football that has world class stars in the dressing room. Indeed this will happen, but if he fails then he will suffer the same fate as Pochetino who is considered a failure at PSG because he is considered unable to maximize the squad they have now. But hopefully he can make a good start at Chelsea and find the best scheme at the moment. Their squad can now be considered complete and can compete at least in the top 4 so it will be a heavy burden for him if they fail. |

I don't think it's entirely the referee's fault because on the pitch there was a bad game and Juventus had to get a red card twice that was really terrible, Juventus should keep playing calm and don't be influenced by Salernitana so that there won't be a red card that is detrimental because can't play with a complete team.
Regardless of anything, indeed in this match there were some controversies that occurred but indeed we also cannot make it seem as if one of the parties is to blame because this game was really tough, especially in the second half which made the referee have to issue at least 7 yellow cards and 3 red cards. |
