Is this just speculation or their is some truth to what you are actually saying because I don't know and an pretty sure that Xabi Alonso doesn't have such plans for now about leaving Bayern Leverkusen for now. I think Xabi has already made it clear that he doesn't intend on leaving that club anytime soon atleast like you said he needs to first implement his legacy with the club first.
Xabi Alonso must gain more experience in the Bundesliga before he moves to another league.
He have stated that he will stay at Leverkusen next season and wants to strengthen his skills as a coach. But as said, Xabi Alonso will most likely find it very difficult to match his good record again after such a great season.

Several new players will be brought in to strengthen the team next season. But no matter how much Xabi wants to maintain his team's performance next season, I am sure he will never be able to repeat this history. I can probably expect Leverkusen to be in the top 4 of the standings, but this really depends on how the players do their job in each match. Next season will probably be Xabi Alonso's last at Leverkusen, of course because he will also be very interested in gaining other experience in some great teams.

No one knows why the decision was taken and maybe Todd Boehly has a different view from most people in seeing the problem. I agree that Pochettino is much better and maybe needs to be given time to give his best for Chelsea. Changing new coaches also does not necessarily give good results because it takes hard work to build a team from scratch so it takes time for the results.

Fans are too demanding of the best performance instantly even though the coach has tried his best and that's football. Pochettino gave something much better at the end of the season so that Chelsea managed to finish in a much better ranking. Since the decision to sack him was taken, Chelsea will start rebuilding the squad to be more solid next season.
There have been plenty of mistakes Chelsea have made in hiring new coaches and firing them, so we probably wouldn't be surprised if Enzo Maresca was also sacked at the end of next season. Enzo Maresca is not a coach on par with Pochettino, so many people have expressed doubts on his coaching abilities.

A new coach means Chelsea have to start everything from scratch. They had reset all their plans to factory settings which meant they had to start all over again. Several important changes will certainly be considered, including bringing in several new players, but adaptation is still needed. Several players who are not in the plans will also be sold, which will make Chelsea reduce the burden of higher salaries.

What advantages do you think sports betting and card games have over trading and investing?
Don't expect gambling (whatever it is) to be a way to generate wealth. Not many gamblers become rich in fact, most of them fall poor because they chase victory in the wrong way. Gambling should be considered as a place for you to have fun, even though you can make a profit from it when you win.

My principle of betting on sports is to get more enthusiasm while watching the game. I like football, betting on certain matches will make the atmosphere more lively. Besides, I do this for fun, it doesn't matter if I win or lose.

It's not enough just to bring in a coach, but if Barcelona still can't improve its finances then what will Hansi Flick do with the current Barcelona squad? Hansi Flick also has his own criteria regarding which players he wants and must be able to meet his expectations in order to be able to compete with rivals Real Madrid, whose condition in terms of quality and quantity is much better. If the situation remains the same without any changes, Barcelona will stagnate even if they change coaches. You know that Laporta is saving money in terms of buying players. The option is to sell the existing stock of players, and it is necessary to sell players whose price range is quite expensive.
No matter how good Hansi Flick's performance is in his first season, he will still be considered bad by his rival fans. The worse Barcelona's performance, the happier their rivals will be, whereas if Barcelona's performance changes for the better and can cause problems for their rivals, then that will definitely be unpleasant.

Hansi Flick can try many ways as long as the players know what they want. The right strategy accompanied by a high fighting spirit will make a team dangerous, but people definitely have their own points of view, some of them even think that good squad depth will guarantee a team wins the title. Nothing is certain even though on paper Barcelona is not the most favored team next season in La Liga.

Star players should be able to inspire and encourage other teammates, so that there is no ego and also disharmony of the club occurs, so far of course we can see how the PSG players seem to only throw the ball to Mbappe and of course it indicates an unbalanced situation of the club, if you remember such a case once happened at Barcelona where at that time Messi seemed to have ambitions to highlight his personal record compared to team and even forced other players to only give passes for him to score, but at that time the coach was able to dampen Messi ego, football is a collective game and having stars in the squad is precisely to add to the performance of the team not individuals as has happened to PSG so far.
Each coach has a different strategy, so it's not a mistake when you see one or two players being the top scorers on their team. Mbappe, Haaland, Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema, and a number of other star players are the target men in his team, so you have to have a different point of view about these players. I guess it's natural that players like that appear more among other players, it's because the game is built around them.

You can certainly say some star players are selfish, but not all star players can be considered selfish. The target man in a team will certainly stand out from individual achievements, but it cannot be a benchmark that they are selfish players.

The language barrier is only an unreasonable reason, English is the most commonly used language throughout the world, it is not that difficult to learn English if one has the desire to learn it. Ronaldo, who just came to the Arab league, is already able to master Arabic well, even though in the learning process, Arabic is more difficult than English.

He has wasted too many opportunities to manage new clubs, the Premier League should be a challenge for him after achieving success with Real Madrid in La Liga. The Premier League will become more competitive if he manages one of the clubs there because there will be comparable competitors for Guardiola. Zidane has missed too many offers that have come his way due to waiting to be proposed to by the team he wants, if it continues like this he will spend more of his time without managing any clubs.
Basically, Zidane is just very confident in being the coach of the star-studded Real Madrid, while he doesn't want to coach any other team for various reasons. Previously it was reported that Zidane was interested in coaching the French national team, but until now this has not been realized. If Real Madrid calls him once again to replace Ancelotti, then I'm sure Zidane would also be willing to do it.

The moral message is, Zidane only wants a safe position to maintain his successful reputation in Europe. He cannot consider teams that can only compete in the domestic league like Chelsea, Manchester United and several other Premier League teams, even Zidane was not willing to accept PSG's offer some time ago. It's not a language barrier I think, but something else.

Brazil and Argentina are still the two most favorite teams, Argentina is the defending champion. It makes sense to place them as the favorite team, because the squad depth they have is said to be better than the other contestants. Apart from that, I think Uruguay is also worth considering, because they now have a golden generation in their squad. America will act as hosts, it might be a little advantageous for them to go further. We hope that Brazil will face Argentina in the final, that would be ideal. Apart from that, it is possible that there will be a surprise, the favorite team could be eliminated early. It's a shame that Neymar couldn't continue his adventure in this edition of the Copa Amreka due to a prolonged injury, even though he made a big contribution in the previous qualifying stages.
Brazil and Argentina are favorites in almost every edition to win the title, but don't forget that Uruguay also deserves a chance in this edition. Other national teams seem less reliable than the 3 above, but sometimes Chile is also good.

Interestingly, Messi and several other older Argentina players will still take part in this year's edition. They're not done yet and are still the favorites, but I'm not so sure I see Argentina retaining their title. Brazil is definitely ahead of Argentina in my opinion, but I think both deserve to be in the final.

Kvaratskhelia refused a large enough offer which showed that he wanted to be a fairly loyal player even though if you see the opportunity it is clear that PSG is much more providing resources and greater opportunities but he still wants to stay at Napoli which is quite good news for Napoli actually.

Rumors of Kvaratskhelia, who has indeed become PSG's dream since Mbappe left, are indeed quite sticky, it's just that it seems that Kvaratskhelia does not want to be lulled by a big offer.
This could be a good situation for Conte in particular because after all Kvaratskhelia's role is clearly still very much needed to restore Napoli's situation which is currently not going well and with him surviving of course this will make it easier for Conte to organize the scheme so that next season matches what he expects.

It remains to wait whether PSG is now shifting its focus to Osimhen or not because if you look at the previous season the rumors of Osimhen and PSG are also quite strong although for this season it has subsided a little.
If PSG fails to bring in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia then that means Napoli should have agreed on a new contract and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's future. Conte will of course make Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the most needed player in his plans next season, so a safe position for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is guaranteed.

You may be right, rumors about PSG's interest in Osimhen are still ongoing. Osimhen is expected to be a suitable replacement for Mbappe who left for Real Madrid on a free transfer, but we don't know for sure how things will develop. A move to PSG would be a good option for Osimhen rather than just staying at Napoli, but Conte will probably hope Osimhen stays.

What about Kompany, if I compare with Arne Slot then Arne Slot should be better. So he has better management skills. Feyenoord managed to finish in 2nd place in the Dutch League. While Kompany with Burnley failed to survive in the EPL. I think right now Kompany is also with Munich. With the big history champion in Lague and Europa. They both won the same club with good achievements so there is a heavy burden. When there is a new coach and does not have good statistics it looks bad, but I don't make statistics, statistics are just records sometimes there are always new surprises that can be bad or good.
Vincent Kompany is one of the candidates for a successful coach at a big club, even if he failed to keep Burnley competing in the Premier League next season. Burnley were relegated due to a lack of quality players, so the relegation was considered natural considering that it was very difficult for the players' confidence to grow throughout the season.

Vincent Kompany would probably be better off with Bayern Munich even though many users doubt it. I can give him confidence in setting the right strategy for Bayern Munich, but whether he is successful or not in the Bundesliga really depends on how his players respond to the strategy. All coaches want their team to win, but sometimes it doesn't go according to plan despite having a good squad.

Maybe and hopefully.  Grin  Arsenal have been getting close to the Premier League title for two seasons but still there isn't a happy ending. Indeed, they totally deserve it especially after the performance they had this season.

Arteta is a wonderful manager. He has already proven that. It isn't easy to compete this hard against Guardiola's Manchester City with such a young team. I really hope to see Arsenal as the champions next season to finish this 20-year longing. They are improving their statistics every season if you have noticed. They are more productive and much better at defending at the same time. It is time to be crowned as the winner of the Premier League.  Smiley
I think all Arsenal players should do self-affirmation from now on by saying "We can win it next season" over and over again every day. It may be simple, but it will likely have a great impact on how they do when competing. When players have good self-confidence and also have a great hunger to win something, then they will never lose mentally against anyone.

Arsenal has quality players, but tends to fail because their mentality is still weak. Everyone thinks that Arsenal can break Manchester City's dominance this season, but in reality Arsenal always fail at the last corner towards the end of the season. So apart from maintaining quality and appearance, Arsenal needs to improve their mentality to be better. But it's true, defeating and stopping Manchester City's dominance is very difficult.

Hansi Flick is a coach who has a very good reputation, when he has quality players in his squad, he can lead a team to win the championship trophy. As he once did at Bayern Munchen, Hansi Flick was very successful there. Hansi Flick journey at Barcelona will start by building a squad in the transfer window, but I think Hansi Flick will retain most of Xavi legacy players. Limited budgets due to the financial crisis have hampered Barcelona movements in the transfer window, giving rise to fans concerns about Barcelona chances of winning trophies next season.
Do you remember how Luciano Spalletti managed to win the Serie A title in the 2022-2023 season with Napoli and beat all the star-studded teams in the race for the title? Yes, it was a fantastic season for Napoli and Luciano Spalletti, even if they didn't have much more squad depth than Milan, Inter or some of the others. Xabi Alonso also won the Bundesliga title with a team that was never considered the favorite at the start of the season, but in reality it was achievable.

The two examples above should open your eyes that Barcelona, ​​coached by the right coach, can win the title even though the depth of their squad is not as good as Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach and has proven his worth, but I don't think all Barcelona fans should expect a fantastic season for his first season in Spain.

Based on this background, and looking at the Los Galacticos project that is being built by Madrid, it seems that Hansi Flick chances of leading Barcelona to win a trophy next season will be very difficult. Unless Ancelotti fails to manage this star studded squad next season, thereby giving Barcelona a bigger opportunity, but this seems impossible to happen. Despite all that, Hansi Flick still has to try his best and look forward to next season journey with full optimism. Management and club officials must support and give full trust to Hansi Flick, with the current squad and dealing with other transfer possibilities, it is possible that Barcelona can also be successful.
The opportunity to win the title is still there for any team, but of course it is quite difficult to expect Hansi Flick to be successful in his first season with Barcelona when Real Madrid has a more qualified squad. Barcelona has many young players who can be expected to make a contribution, but they cannot be given big responsibilities so management needs to take another approach, such as buying several cheap players or bringing them in on loan.

That's what most of us think when we start gambling but overtime we understand that whatever we were thinking wasn't right but was some type of illusion of our own mind. That's why one should gamble for fun and with the money he/she can afford to lose.
That's right, that's the best advice about gambling. Gambling should only be used as a place to get pleasure or entertainment, but in reality the average gambler has made gambling a source of income. The wrong mindset has changed gamblers' behavior from having fun to being all about winning and money, in the end they have to admit defeat.

Gambling responsibly is another piece of advice every gambler should consider. It's okay to have fun, but there are still concerns that you will develop an addiction if you gamble too often in pursuit of winning, which in the end means you no longer gamble responsibly.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 08, 2024, 08:29:54 PM
Gamblers cannot always rely on gambling as their source of income all the time, but if you have enough budget then become a bookie (casino owner) in this industry and earn income. This is the only way for you to earn an income from gambling, meaning you must take advantage of this industry to make a profit.

You also need to know that not all bookies can always earn income from this industry. All of them carry the risk of loss (bankruptcy) regardless of how developed your casino is initially. The gambling industry is very risky, even though it promises big profits, there are times when they have to go out of business and are no longer able to pay their customers because they are unable to compete.

Bro you probably haven't seen Vini's performance earlier this season. Vini's performance at the beginning of the season was very poor and erratic. But Ancelotti kept his faith in Vini and provided plenty of opportunities. Vini did not disappoint Madrid fans. Gradually he solved his problems. And at the end of the season we got to see Vini's career best performance. We have had great performances from Vinicius Junior in the last half of the season and Vini is the most important player in Madrid's attack at the moment.

However, Rodrygo is far behind Vini. He makes a lot of mistakes and misses easy opportunities. So I wouldn't be surprised if Ancelotti leaves Rodrygo out of his game plan next season. Next season, Ancelotti will probably build his strategy around Vini, Bellingham and Mbappe.
Vinicius' performance began to improve after he returned from injury. Vinicius really stepped up in the second half of last season and that has made Real Madrid's attack very ambitious every game. The collaboration between Vinicius and other strikers ultimately really brought Real Madrid to victory in the Champions League and La Liga, that is a proud achievement.

Next season there may be a slight shift in strategy if Ancelotti wants to play 3 strikers in his line up. Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo will certainly be the 3 most frightening attackers for other teams' defenders, but problems will arise if the players do not complement each other and only play with their own egos. Mbappe is known as a selfish player at PSG, so there may be problems that make Real Madrid's attack line not as effective as expected if Mbappe does not change his attitude.

Real Madrid without doubt will be the favorite team to win the UEFA Champions League title come next season not because they won it this season but because they've added more quality players to the squad. The club recently announced the signing of France international Kylian Mbappe who's arguably the best striker in the world at the moment and with the presence of Kylian Mbappe in the team coupled with the already intimidating squad of the club, it'll be very difficult for any other club to face Real Madrid next season.
That being said, there are other few clubs that might stop Real Madrid from defending the UEFA Champions League title come next season such as Manchester City and Bayern Munich. These two clubs in my opinion will be more improved than they were in the just concluded season. We're surely gonna experience a very interesting campaign in the competition come next season and I can't wait for the commensement
Yes that's correct. Real Madrid is the team most likely to be the favorite for the title next season even though its rivals are also looking to win it. If Bayern Munich and Manchester City could meet Real Madrid in the knockout round, then perhaps Real Madrid could lose and fail to defend its title.

On paper, Real Madrid are the favorites for next season. I won't argue that ever, but Real Madrid may still fail especially if all of Ancelotti's plans don't match reality. A luxurious squad never guarantees success, but success can be achieved with good team performance. Nothing is as smooth as we talked about, there are always obstacles along the way.

It's too early to talk about who might get the win because the league hasn't started yet of course we still have a very big question mark in the course of the league season this time, and indeed see that many teams are preparing their troops to form their best strategy to compete in the Champion league which might make us difficult who will get the win in the league this season.

I see that for Dortmund next season I personally very arguably can reach the position of this season, although indeed their performance is quite good this season and managed to become runner up and compete with Real Madrid is indeed a very big achievement, but what if they meet a group in which there is Real Madrid and they can lose at the beginning or in the middle.
The squad depth of each club that will qualify for the Champions League next season is an important factor in analyzing each club's chances of winning the title. It's true, it's still too early to determine who will win the Champions League title next season. But from the depth of the squad, I think the top 4 teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are the most likely to win it.

Manchester City and Real Madrid will most likely be the two most favorite teams in the race for the title, but of course every step they take since the group stage is never certain and they could lose along the way. Other teams can also win the title as long as they can win every round, so whether they are favorites or not does not determine the title.

But if in the end every contribution that Victor Osimhen has made to a club like Napoli is not truly appreciated by the club, of course Victor Osimhen himself must make wiser decisions before next season starts again. Because Victor Osimhen himself can still continue his career at another club as long as it is still possible for him, but he himself also has to look at a team that is more suitable for him. Because if he only likes teams that often appear in UCL competitions, PSG is clearly a pretty good choice if no other team wants to bring him into the squad.
Napoli is a team that has been able to provide the best competition for the Serie A title every season, at least in the last 10 seasons. After a happy season in 2022-2023, Napoli failed to defend its title. Their performance has declined and that has made many people speculate about them and the future of their stars.

Of course, Victor Osimhen has been rumored to be moving to an elite Premier League or Ligue 1 team next season. Osimhen needs a new challenge in his career instead of just staying at Napoli, but if he really wants to move then Chelsea is a team he should consider. Chelsea really need a productive center forward like Osimhen, it will make them even more competitive next season. Jackson isn't very reliable as a center forward, so Osimhen might be good to consider.
