Honestly, Joselu's performance in his first match replacing Vini JR was quite impressive. In fact, no one thought that his contribution would be quite big in that match. With a goal in his first match, it really opened up the opportunity for him to stay in the first squad, if he could really be consistent and continue to play well. And we also have to see Vini's performance in the future, because after all, Vii is also one of the key players at Real Madrid at the moment. Ancelotti will definitely continue to think about various considerations and the right moment to play Vini JR or Joselu after Vini recovers from injury. We'll see in the future what Joselu's contribution will be.
I don't think Joselu is as good as you say, but I admit he had a good contribution in Real Madrid's win against Getafe. Joselu has not yet found his best form at Real Madrid, that's because he is still going through the adaptation process as a new player. There is pressure on Joselu at Real Madrid so he doesn't have good statistics in Real Madrid's 4 games so far, but I hope he can contribute while Vinicius is injured.

As a loan player, I think Joselu only has 1 season at Real Madrid and he likely won't know much about his future. However, Joselu is obliged to give his best for Real Madrid and that is why he was given the opportunity to be on the pitch. He can win his first title this season at club level, of course that will make him more motivated.

Inasmuch as this seems suiting to Bitcoin believers, I think it is best we keep our expectations in check. I am not saying that this is not possible but I will not put this to heart considering that nothing is guaranteed so long as Bitcoin is concerned.

Nevertheless,  a lot of beautiful things are lined up from next year that should see the price of Bitcoin soar but putting a figure to the price it will hit is something absolutely difficult and unnecessary because it such tendencies can create inordinate expectations that might result to irrational decision.
If you are a holder, then don't worry because you just have to maintain the plan well and get returns according to your target in the future. It doesn't matter how much time you have to wait, but bitcoin is still a good performing asset so far. I believe in the next 1 to 2 years the price of bitcoin could be 3-4 times higher than the previous ATH, but this is just something I believe considering the history but not as financial advice to anyone.

So far I don't know exactly what the percentage of long-term holders is compared to traders, but I am sure the percentage of holders is higher since Bitcoin fell throughout 2022 until now. There is good hope for the next cycle, so keep to your plans.

Also, in the next match, AS Roma seems to have been able to play Lukaku and thus, AS Roma should be able to get their first three points this season. After all, the fact is that Empoli also does not have a good record when playing against AS Roma and therefore, at this moment also Empoli still does not seem to have the ability to win. Moreover, if I consider the odds available at the moment, it is at least clear that AS Roma are very favored to win. So yes, I personally still believe that AS Roma will get a win in the match against Empoli in the next match in Serie A.
Even though Roma can only get 1 point from their last 3 matches, I believe Roma can win 3 points at home in the next match against Empoli. Roma have a high probability of winning compared to their opponents, this is something that will be beneficial even though they have not managed a single win so far.

Empoli is much worse because they have lost all the matches played. Moreover, Empoli will not be favorites when they visit Roma considering their previous 3 matches. I know both teams are hoping to win, but Roma should be much more favored at home.

We can only analyze the rest of the time that will answer and see in the next 7 years, this is not a short time bitcoin will definitely go through various things, maybe this scenario will be different and beyond expectations.
Yeah a lot of people certainly see in terms of history and its cycles, if for example trillions it is very possible considering bitcoin will remember every 4 years as a cycle.
People are certainly optimistic about the good prospects for bitcoin's future. There are many things that can be used as benchmarks to analyze it, but none of us can be sure. Bitcoin can move in any direction and its price volatility will not stop. Increased adoption cases will support high demand that keeps its value moving up, but of course the two cycles attached to it will never go away.

I believe bitcoin has a good future despite some of the concerns people have about it. This has motivated me to hold bitcoin longer than before even though at some day I will also put it on the market to sell.

The problem of Manchester United is wholistic and not a goalkeeper fault. The Manchester United teamis not stabilised even right from preseason time. Last season that Manchester United ended 3rd in the English Premier League table, we saw that they had good preseason and after the first two matches that they performed poorly other matches were excellent. This cannot be said of Manchester United of today where by no part of the team is OK. The defence is having deficiencies because of injuries, same with the midfield and attack. The team has to step of fully for the new season.
In general this is not a good start to the season for Manchester United, but I hope Ten Hag can plan something good for his team this season. There are many obstacles that need to be resolved and this is a demanding job for him. Considering that this is the start of the season, of course there are many opportunities that Ten Hag can still take advantage of, even though it won't be easy.

I'm not sure what would happen if Ten Hag were to fail to make it to the top four this season for Manchester United, but it would certainly put him under a lot of pressure. The Champions League results will likely put him under a lot of pressure if Manchester United lose and fail, but I still have confidence in his tactical abilities.

Yes, Barcelona is lucky enough to be in the same group as Royal Antwerp, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk, ideally they will get through the group phase easily, but the reality is that we don't know whether Barcelona can get through easily or not.

September 20 they will have their first UCL match and face Royal Antwerp, playing at home will certainly be the basis of their motivation, 3 points are in sight it seems.
Nothing should be easy because each team will give their best to win the match. Barcelona, ​​which actually has superior quality and experience, is certainly expected to win the match easily, but in fact, several mistakes could also make them fail to win the desired points.

Barcelona is playing at home, it's good for them so people will think it's their stage. However, the Champions League has something that is difficult to predict, although we do not hide the fact that a team like Barcelona was able to overcome the resistance of a team like Royal Antwerp without any significant problems.  I agree Barcelona can win that match, but I hope it won't be easy.

I don't think Antony would get out this serious allegations levelled against him at Man Utd the same investigation that Greenwood was subjected to would also be accorded to him  as of now at the international level a ban had already been imposed on him back at the club level there would be definitely a protest against him by many fans who would express their grievances against him consequently might compound Man Utd woes after dismal performance this season, however I think Erik ten Hag should settle whatever disagreement or differences he had with Jando Sancho in order to replace Antony if he was eventually ban by the club now that the team isn't well strengthen.
I don't know what the case is, but if Antony has to get a ban due to the case that ensnared him then I think Ten Hag must be ready to accept the consequences. Pellistri is also a good option if Ten Hag loses Antony, but Jadon Sancho can also play there. I prefer Sancho to play in his main position on the left wing, but if Ten Hag believes in him then he can also get that role.

Apart from that, Ten Hag also has many options to replace Antony, such as Shola Shoretire, Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellistri. But of course, Antony is an important player in that position so it will definitely be difficult to get the same game when he is not there for the team.

I don't remember exactly September or October and the Fed didn't confirm it would raise interest rates, but they said they could continue to raise interest rates because the inflation situation is not really under control. Some recent news also shows that the Fed will not hesitate to continue raising interest rates 1 or 2 times before stopping raising interest rates. If that happens, it will really put pressure on the market and it will be even more difficult for us to recover before the end of the year.

The price has been trading above $26k but I don't consider this a good sign as without any positive news to sustain then a drop will happen at any moment. We need more positive news or bigger movements to be considered positive for bitcoin.
The bitcoin price didn't last longer above $26k, it has dipped to around $25.8k at the moment. I still see a big challenge for bitcoin to maintain its value, there seems to be a lot of selling pressure making it difficult for the price to recover without major support. People seem to tend to pay attention to negative news that impacts prices, but they react very little to positive news. This indicates that the index of people's fear of investing in bitcoin is still high.

Harry Maguire was close to join West Ham but he refused although Manchester United wanting him to leave the club.
I don't know why he didn't go on loan to West Ham for example with a possibility of purchase or if that was ever discussed? Anyway Manchester United stuck with him right now and he is accepting to stay although he was stripped from being captain and almost not playing with the team..
I somehow have respect for Maguire even though he is starting to get left out of his current team. Maguire contributes to the team even though recently he often makes fatal mistakes that cost his team, but he was a good captain for Manchester United several seasons ago. Of course I'm not going to press for a favorable opinion of him, but respect for Maguire feels deserved.

His mentality might not be as good as it used to be, his confidence as well, so even if he stays then I don't think his performance will be as good as before. Maguire ultimately had to force himself to leave Manchester United, I hope he can consider that next season.

Gambling mostly depends on luck that's why no one can say the exact probability of winning here. When it comes to betting there are casino sites that scam by showing the lure of big winnings. There are many gamblers who are too greedy and risk losing everything therefore, if you can control emotions the risk will be reduced control often leads to greater chances of winning. Until all the subtleties of a professional game are understood you have to manage a lot by yourself. If you regularly follow the target goal even after losses constantly improve your analytical skills identify the reasons for failure and compare the sequence of events and results success will surely come.
I'm not sure if there are any successful gamblers out there who are able to recognize their emotions without reacting in any way when they lose. But I can probably assume that the average gambler is bad at controlling his emotions including me.

I really don't want to lose a game regardless of whether it is a game based on luck or sports betting. Losing is annoying, of course that's not what I expected, especially since I've done a good analysis of the game I'm going to bet on. Emotions just appear, it is difficult to control it because most gamblers who lose can easily change their plans midway.

Agreed. Luton Town is seemingly the weakest of the bunch. For now anyways as there are still a lot of games to play. Having been just promoted to the EPL, they seem to be struggling and it’s obvious from the games they’ve played so far as they haven’t managed to bag a win.
The last game with West Ham wasn’t any better. They managed to score a consolation goal at the tail end of the game, perhaps in a bid to appease the home crowd.
They most likely have envisaged and are finding out about the stiff competition to be faced in the EPL.
Competition in the Premier League is very tight, meaning that if a team doesn't have a big budget to build a quality squad then they will sink to the bottom of the standings. This is a normal thing to happen in the best competitions like the Premier League, so Luton Town should have known for sure that they would really be at the bottom of the table if they weren't able to bring in a lot of quality players.

I don't mean to underestimate  them, but that's how it is. Luton Town must find a good sponsor and earn money from him to build a better squad. They can't count on all the players hoping to put in a good performance, it's difficult. Luton Town won't be able to, but are any of you expecting a miracle from them?

Some of the names mentioned are not very familiar, maybe because the price is below average, but I see that the loan players from Arsenal and Man City are under 23 years old, maybe they are loaned out because they have more flying hours.

It is natural to say that it is the poorest club but this is a new club that has just been introduced to the Premier League.

Yes, they don't have a solid strength, when the attack is good, there will be shortcomings, including in midfield or defense, we never know what the expectations will be. As for those who say that in the end they will be relegated at the end of the season, I won't say that much about Luton because it's a small team.
0 wins in 3 consecutive matches is proof that Luton Town is a team that is too weak in the Premier League. It is hoped that several of the players brought in will be able to make this team compete well in the competition, but it will be very difficult to expect them to rise and be in the top 10 of the standings.

Their defense is poor, their attackers are ineffective and they don't have many creative players to build a great attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Luton Town would be a hotbed of goals for the Premier League's top teams this season, that's clearly a concern on their part. Imagine if Luton played against Manchester City, maybe they would concede 5-7 goals.

Well, Sevilla have started this season just as bad as they did last season, i don't know where you got the impression that they are performing very well, they have played three games in La Liga this season and they have lost all three of them and they are rooted in the bottom of the table.

Having said that, it is going to be somewhat difficult for Sevilla to make it out of Groub B in the CL, but their fans might not mind if they crash out and into the Europa league, because they have a knack of winning that competition.
Basically there will be 6 matches that Sevilla will play in the Champions League group stages this season and I am sure some of them are still very difficult to predict. I'm not ruling out a good possibility for Sevilla in the group stage even though actually the average person thinks they won't qualify for the next round. Sevilla had chances although not as good as other teams, but we never know how they took advantage of those opportunities before they started their game.

Sevilla's main focus remains to qualify for the round of 16, but dropping to the Europa League is no big deal either. Sevilla have proven time and time again that they are the team to be feared the most in the Europa League instead of the Champions League, so there are certainly a number of things they can consider, including which to prioritize the most.

I had no doubts, Benzema Karim is a great player without a doubt but Real Madrid, which is a great team, can very well replace him with other young strikers that they have in their squad.
He could even take someone from the spring and have him play in the big league, its not a possibility to be discarded.
Of course I agree with that, but currently I don't know who is a great striker who is worthy of replacing Benzema in the team when Real Madrid only has Joselu as a center forward. I know Real Madrid can bring in the players they are looking for, but so far they haven't done so and have chosen to withdraw from the transfer market.

I hope there is a new signing for the center forward position in the next transfer window, it will make this team stronger until the end of the season even though there is no guarantee that Real Madrid can win the title this season.

The promotion team is still difficult to say is strong in the squad even though their attack is good but there are always gaps in the defense so this is a continuous defeat.

When Luton entered the Premier League which players were bought? I didn't pay much attention to the Luton transfer because as far as I know the team didn't do much about it, maybe still relying on the ordinary players they have?

It's a good idea for Luton to recruit players from the Championship but they have to have brilliant potential, here I'm just making assumptions but they will do other things beyond our expectations.
Albert Sambi Lokonga, Ryan Giles, Issa Kabore, Ross Barkley, and Jacob Brown are Luton Town's 5 current signers. Two players were brought in on loan transfers from Arsenal and Manchester City, apart from that two of them were acquired permanently with a contract value of 8.75 million euros. Luton Town can be said to be the poorest team in the Premier League where they are only worth 85.3 million euros in total market value.

Of course Luton Town can cause some problems for other teams during matches, but they are a team that only looks likely to be relegated at the end of the season. I think that's natural considering that the depth of Luton's squad is not at all comparable to that of most other teams.

If you think about it, it makes sense to buy Bitcoin from now on, apart from the reason that the price is already quite low, because I also really believe that there will be a better demand boost before the halving event occurs on Bitcoin. This will be quite obvious when there are more companies willing to market Bitcoin in any way so that a demand boost will arise within the community because they will see this as a pretty good opportunity. So a lot of people probably won't ignore that so they will have the urge to buy Bitcoin before the halving happens.
In my opinion, buying now or later is the same as long as you designate it as a long-term investment. You can buy from now with a good strategic approach such as DCA, but if you buy later that's not a problem. As long as you hold it for the long term, you will make a profit, although none of us can guarantee it.

Bitcoin market recovery after the current correction has not yet occurred. I hope for recovery as soon as possible, but there are many factors that hinder it so that extra patience is needed to achieve the desired target.

I'm more interested in how long the recovery will be, rather than where the drop will go if the 25k support is broken. I think Bitcoin will recover soon because as you said, the price of Bitcoin for whales may not be at the buy level yet. It has been giving me the opportunity to buy Bitcoin for a long time, but it is difficult to predict the desire of the whales.

SEC, Binance, ETF issues are obviously going to take a long time and I don't want the market to be drowned in this uncertainty. It will be good for all bitcoin lovers if some things happen right away.
So far there is no sign of recovery in bitcoin price but I am optimistic that it will happen soon. Bitcoin has lost a lot of value in the last 30 days and this is basically normal. However, I don't expect bitcoin to continue to lose value this month and into the end of the year, but some bad things could have an impact on the decline.

To this day bitcoin is still holding above $25k which is probably not strong support to say the least. If bitcoin falls below current support, then I believe $20k will be tested as new support. But I hope not and bitcoin is expected to recover soon and break its resistance.

We all thought Madrid wouldn't get off to a good start this season. Because the best player in their squad, Benzema has left the team. But so far Madrid have been doing great. They played well and won every match. And Madrid's performance so far has been great because Bellingham has been playing well. Bellingham has adapted very well to the Madrid squad. Although he is originally a midfielder, he has become a scorer for Madrid. He scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 matches. But if Bellingham's performance deteriorates, it will be difficult for Madrid to maintain consistency. We are yet to see good performances from Vini, Rodrygo and Jeselu.
I don't agree that Real Madrid's performance has been very good in the last 4 matches. We really find it difficult to win games even against teams like Almeria, Celta Vigo and Getafe. Without Benzema everything is different, I mean Real Madrid at this time always have difficulty penetrating the opponent's defense even though Bellingham can really be a differentiator.

Real Madrid also lost Vinicius to injury, so there should be problems facing Real Madrid this season tactically. Joselu and Rodygo are good, but neither can always be relied on without a more comparable replacement. I'm afraid that Real Madrid could lose against Real Soiciedad or Atletico Madrid this season without really good strengths, but I give them full confidence this season.

Chelsea fans should not expect too much from Pochettino. I'm not saying Pochettino is a bad coach. But good enough. But he is not experienced enough to win Premier League or Champions League titles. PSG had a great squad. PSG had many star players. Even then, Pochettino could not dominate the Champions League. Even PSG's performance was not stable. However, coach Pochettino may be able to stabilize the Chelsea squad. But it is unlikely that Chelsea will win the title with Poch or that Pochettino will build a title-worthy Chelsea team. I think we will see Chelsea in the top 6 of the points table. The Chelsea team will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.
Of course you are not saying Pochettino is a bad coach, but in the end you are just conveying the impression that Pochettino does not have the ability to make Chelsea better or even compete in the top four. If Pochettino hears about it then I think he'll be furious, of course. Lol

Chelsea fans must be patient to see the process that Pochettino is going through in building the quality of his team in this relatively new season. Their statistics are not good, but improvements will continue to be made so that Pochettino's plans are truly successful. Nothing is impossible in football, in fact no one really believed Newcastle could qualify for the Champions League this season when they started last season.

Barcelona has been better than people actually think, sure they may not look like at the top, but they are doing pretty well actually. They made some good transfers and they should be doing some sort of talented result in the end as well if they wanted this.

So all in all, between their UCL group being a little bit easy, and the league seems like they could do fine, I am sensing that they could actually do great this season. I am expecting at least a quarter finals, possibly a semi finals at the UCL level, a league title, and maybe even the cup if they are lucky. That should bring in back all that financial loss and they could do quite well for the few next seasons and not really worry about the money anymore.
I don't expect Barcelona to defend the La Liga title this season easily. Real Madrid need to make amends for last season's mistakes by winning the La Liga title this season, meaning Barcelona should not get a big chance to lead the table and win it again.

I know Barcelona spent a little money this season in the transfer market but they got some top quality players. Ilkay Gundogan, Felix, Cancelo, Inigo Martinez and Oriol Romeu are good signings out of them, but I believe Real Madrid will make every effort to win the title this season. Barcelona has an advantage in the Champions League, but I don't think Xavi can realize the dream of millions of Barcelona fans to win the title.
