Dortmund got a good win, which puts them in a good position for the second game against PSG.  Even though the lead isnt very big, goals scored away from home make a huge difference. But they know the job isnt done yet. Its a whole different game for PSG at home, and they'll be ready to go.

PSG did not play well last night, there is no way around it.  They missed some chances, and Mbappe was closely defended. He needs more help to make those crazy runs he's known for. Enrique needs to really look at the tape from this one. Dont make the same mistakes in the second leg. At least two goals need to be scored by PSG. There's no way Dortmund will sit back and protect, so both teams will score a lot of goals.
The narrow victory obtained over Dortmund in the first leg will indeed be an important asset for Terzic's team in the second leg. Because of course in this second leg Dortmund will visit PSG headquarters and of course they will receive a lot of mental pressure from PSG's fanatical supporters. So with a one goal advantage, I think the Dortmund players will be a little calmer when they visit PSG headquarters. Apart from that, Dortmund's performance in the first leg was quite good, especially in the first half. However, in the second half I saw the PSG players dominate more. Maybe Enrique had read the Dortmund players' playing style in the first half, so that in the second half Enrique could handle it well.

But even so, the PSG players were unable to score goals. In fact, if we talk about opportunities, in the second half PSG created many opportunities which almost resulted in goals. Mbappe even almost scored the equalizer. But unfortunately his shot hit the side of the goal post. Maybe if only the PSG players could be calmer when they were in Dortmund's goal mouth, I'm sure several goals could have been scored. However, it cannot be denied that Dortmund has very solid defenders in its defense line. So it is always successful in making it difficult for PSG players to maximize their opportunities.

And in preparation for the second leg, I think Enrique must already know his team's weak side. In fact, in the second half of yesterday's first leg, Enrique was actually able to overcome this weakness. The proof is that in the second half PSG dominated more and were able to create many opportunities. Maybe in the second leg, Enrique just needs to make the PSG players take full advantage of the opportunities available. And if Enrique can overcome this, I'm sure PSG can turn things around.

Then there is Madrid against Cadiz, maybe Ancelotti will take advantage of this match again by playing Arda Guler again because it will be better to prioritize the preparation of his core players on May 9 against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League. It is proven that Vinicius and Rodrigo need lots of rest time and maintain their health. In my opinion, the absence of Vinicius and Rodrigo as the main strikers in the match against Cadiz is not a problem because they can still get 3 points by playing Brahim Diaz, Joselu and Arda Guler.
Yes, playing Arda Guler again in the match against Cadiz was indeed the right choice. Because this will give Arda Guler more flying hours. Apart from that, Cadiz is also not a strong team. So, if for example Real Madrid's main striker doesn't play, you can be sure they can still win the match. The reason is that in the last few meetings between Real Madrid and Cadiz, the result was that Real Madrid was never defeated. Apart from that, Real Madrid currently has quite a lot of points and it is definitely somewhat impossible for any team in Laliga to catch them. So in essence, Ancelotti doesn't need to worry about the match in Laliga, especially against a team like Cadiz. Because even by fielding second-tier players, Real Madrid can definitely handle it.

So Ancelotti can rest the main players who will compete in the UCL against Bayern Munich in the second leg to the maximum. The reason is that in the second leg Real Madrid must be able to perform even better. The reason is, Real Madrid's aggregate with Bayern Munich is currently still tied (2-2). So Real Madrid's main players must really maintain their stamina so they can play optimally and win the match. And in this second leg, Real Madrid should have an advantage because they will be playing at home. Therefore, I believe there is a big possibility that Real Madrid will be able to win the match in this second leg.

Udinese's performance in their last few matches is actually quite bad. They lost 3 times and 2 draws. But I think Udinese and the 4 teams above them still have the chance to enter the relegation zone and play in Serie B. Udinese has the biggest chance of failing to survive in Serie A because they only have 29 points. But Udinese will face Empoli and Frosinone. Frosinone will also face Empoli next week. So I think it will be a deciding match for them who should play in Serie B next season.
The competition at the bottom of the Serie A standings will continue until this season ends. Maybe for Salernitana and Sassuolo in my opinion these two teams will definitely not be able to compete again. The reason is that these teams will definitely be relegated this season. But if we talk about Udinese, Frosinone and Empoli. Their chances of staying in Serie A are still wide open. The reason is that the three teams have points that are not much different from each other. Apart from that, what is interesting about the competition between these three clubs. These three teams will meet and face each other at the end of this season. But what makes this competition a little tense. These three clubs (Napoli, Frosinone, Empoli) both have match schedules with very strong teams.

  • Udinese this week will face Napoli.
  • Then next week Frosinone will face standings leaders Inter.
  • And next week Empoli will face Lazio and Roma.

So apart from the matches between these three teams(Udinese VS Frosinone,Udinese VS Empoli, Empoli VS Frosinone), the matches against these big teams will really determine the fate of these three teams. And my prediction is that the most likely one who will be relegated among these three teams is Empoli. This is because Empoli is scheduled to face 2 strong teams.

This week Luton is scheduled to face Everton. I think this match will be very important for Luton. Because if Luton can win this match, they have the opportunity to crawl out of the relegation zone. The reason is that Nottingham Forest, which is ranked above Luton, is only 1 point ahead. So if Luton can win the match against Everton this week, there is a big possibility that they can shift Nottingham's position and get out of the relegation zone. But I think it is very likely that Luton will have difficulty beating Everton. In fact, if you look at the head to head record between Luton and Everton, the result is that Luton is superior. The reason is that from the last 2 meetings between Luton and Everton, the result was that Luton was always able to win the match. However, at the end of this season, Everton performed very well. The reason is that in Everton's last 5 matches in the Premier League, the result has always been a win. Even against a strong team like Liverpool, Everton was able to win. So if you look at Everton's current performance, it looks like Luton will have difficulty winning the match.

Luton have a great chance of getting out of the relegation zone. But I don't know if they can do that thanks to this match. They haven't been able to play very well in recent weeks, but Everton performed very well by winning 4 of the last 5 games. Therefore, it may be a little difficult for Luton to gain points in this match.
Of course, the Everton match is an opportunity for Luton. In the next matches they will play against stronger teams such as West Ham and Fulham, it will be very critical for them to win points this week
Yes, in the last ten matches that Luton played in the Premier League, the result was that Luton suffered 8 defeats and 2 draws. This record is indeed very bad for Luton. However, in the match against Everton, Luton must be able to fight tooth and nail in order to get points and get out of the relegation zone. Because if Luton loses against Everton, I think Luton's hopes of getting out of the relegation zone will definitely be closed. The reason is that Luton only has 3 more matches left in the Premier League. So as you said, after the match against Everton, Luton will face West Ham and Fulham who are ranked higher than Everton in the Premier League. So you can be sure that Luton will most likely have more difficulty against these two teams (West Ham & Fulham). Because if you look at Luton's performance and head to head with these two teams, Luton's results are worse. The reason is that Luton has never won against these two teams. So in essence Luton's fate in the Premier League will be at stake in the match against Everton. If Luton wins, there is the potential to get out of the relegation zone. However, if they draw or lose, Luton will definitely have to say goodbye to the first division of the Premier League next season.

Al-Nassr seems certain to win. So I no longer watched the Al-Nassr vs Al-khaleej match in the second half because I started to focus on watching UCL now. And I was quite surprised when I checked Al-Nassr's score, who had scored another goal in the second half. And the current score for Al-nassr vs Al-khaleej is 3-0. Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score 2 goals in this match. And this indicates that Cristiano Ronaldo is still superior and sharper at his current age.
I hope that in the final against Al-hilal this time Cristiano Ronaldo can win. Because someone has to stop Al-Hilal from continuing to win in almost all competitions in Saudi Arabia this season. The quality of Al-Hilal this season is truly extraordinary. But it's quite boring to see the same team keep winning the competition.
In the second half, after Ronaldo scored the third goal for Al Nasr. After that the Al Nasr players did not score any more goals. However, in the 82nd minute it was Al Khaleej who reduced the deficit by scoring 1 goal and the position became 1-3. Then after that no more goals were scored by either team. So until the whistle sounded to signal the end of the match, the score did not change (1-3), and Al Nasr managed to win the match in this semifinal round. In the final round, Al Nasr will indeed meet Al Hilal again. The reason is that Al Hilal also managed to qualify for the final round, after successfully beating Al Ittihad with a narrow score (1-2) in the semifinal round. Maybe this final match will be the right moment for Al Nasr, to be able to avenge all their defeats against Al Hilal throughout this season. However, defeating Al Hilal is still not easy for Al Nasr. Because as we know, Al Hilal has had a very stable performance this season. So in the final match, the Al Nasr players had to fight harder and learn from past mistakes (when they were defeated by Al Hilal) in order to have a chance to win the match. And it's true, someone has to stop Al Hilal from winning all the trophies in the SPL this season. Because it would be a bit boring if only Al Hilal won all the competitions in the SPL this season. So hopefully in the final match Al Nasr can beat Al Hilal and win the Saudi Arabian King's Cup trophy.

Bayern Munich failed to beat Real Madrid at home.Real Madrid managed to take the lead in the first half with a goal from Vinicius. Bayern Munich started the second half fast and managed to score 2 goals in 12 minutes.Bayern, who took the lead with the goals they found with Sane and Kane, could not keep the score and the situation was equalized again with Vinicius' goal from the penalty.In the match where both sides played a good game, the winner of the round will be determined in Real Madrid's field.
Real Madrid's performance in that match met my expectations. Even though the final result, Real Madrid only achieved a draw. However, this is still an advantage for Real Madrid. Because bringing a draw in an away game is quite a good thing. Apart from that, in this match, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid players both showed very good performances. The reason is that both teams attacked each other in a very organized manner. So it's natural that the match ended in a draw. And I personally really liked Vinicius' performance in this match. The reason is that even though he is playing at the opponent's home ground, Vinicius looks very relaxed and full of confidence. As a result, he was able to score 2 goals in that match.

And for the second leg, Real Madrid should be able to play even better. Because the match will be held at its own headquarters. So don't let the second leg end in a draw again.
Like when Real Madrid played against Manchester City in the quarter-finals. However, I am sure that in the second leg, Real Madrid will definitely be able to win the match. Because after watching the first leg match, I saw that the performance of the Real Madrid players was superior to that of the Bayern Munich players. So in the second leg, Real Madrid players like Vinicius and Bellingham will certainly make things even more difficult for Bayern Munich.

Girona qualifying for the Champions league for the next season is a great milestones for them and even though they could not make it as champions of the league, they are already guaranteed of the Champions League for next year which sets the club up in a more elaborate and competitive platform to perform.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand underestimated the efforts of Girona with their underperformance. But they will still qualify being at the 4th position of the table standing 6 points ahead of the Atletic Club who are at the 5th position of the table and by default cannot make it to the Champions league
With the remaining matches in Laliga, Girona is certain to qualify for the UCL next season. The reason is that at the end of this season, Girona has pocketed quite a lot of points and is certain to be firmly in the top 4 of Laliga. Apart from that, UCL is indeed a new competition for Girona. Because as far as I know, Girona has never participated in this extraordinary competition. So if next season Girona manages to enter the UCL, this will indeed be a big history for Girona. I really appreciate Girona's journey to become as great as it is now. Of course, this could be achieved thanks to the persistence of the players, coaches and of course Girona management. Apart from that, one factor that should not be forgotten is that Girona has the same company as Manchester City. So it makes sense that Girona can go that fast in Laliga. The reason is that Girona is certain to have stable enough finances to be able to bring in quite talented players.

And yes, this season Atletico Madrid must be willing to be eliminated by Girona from the top 3 positions in Laliga. The reason is that usually in previous seasons Atletico Madrid always managed to finish in the top 3 positions. However, this season Atletico Madrid seems to have the potential to be knocked out of the top 3 and only finish in 4th place. So in essence, Girona this season has really become an unexpected scapegoat. The reason is that apart from having great potential to overtake Atletico Madrid, Girona also has great potential to overtake Barcelona in 2nd place. And this will be determined by Girona's match in the coming week. Because next week Girona will face Barcelona. So if Girona can win this match, Girona will definitely overtake Barcelona in the Laliga standings.

Apart from that, Atletico Madrid does have the opportunity to qualify for the UCL again this season. But don't forget, Bilbao will always try hard to take 4th place from Atletico Madrid. Therefore, Atletico Madrid must continue to be consistent in the remaining matches and not make mistakes at the end of this season.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 01, 2024, 09:18:23 AM
Inter was very successful this year. They won the Scudetto easily. Their elimination in Europe was a surprise. It was a surprise not only for me, but for everyone. Everyone saw Inter as a championship candidate this year, but they did not show the expected performance in the UCL. In the Italian league, they won the championship by far. Next year, they can build a better squad and make us watch an assertive Inter in the UCL again.
Inter Milan's elimination in the last 16 of the UCL is still very surprising if we look back on it. Because it is too early for a very strong club like Inter Milan. But fortunately Inter Milan in the domestic league has a good record this season. For example, this season Inter Milan has secured the Italian Super Cup and Serie A trophies. So even though Inter Milan did not achieve good results on the European stage. But in Italy they still have very good achievements.
Yes, I also didn't think Inter could fail in the UCL. In fact, if you look at Inter's achievements in the UCL last season, Inter was able to reach the final and become runners up after being defeated by Manchester City. So Inter's failure in the last 16 of the UCL this season was really beyond my expectations. Moreover, what was surprising was that Inter lost in the round of 16. Even though in that match I was very optimistic that Inter could definitely win against Atletico Madrid. The reason is that in the first leg Inter were already superior on aggregate over Atletico Madrid. So my guess is that in the second leg Inter will definitely win and qualify for the quarter-finals. But unfortunately Inter lost to Atletico Madrid on penalties. Perhaps the biggest mistake that made Inter lose when facing Atletico Madrid in the second leg was because they defended too much. So that Atletico Madrid players have more freedom to organize attacks. And As a result, Inter conceded in the final minutes and had to undergo a penalty shootout. However, it is not a problem this season that Inter lost in the UCL. Because as @Uruhara and @W Jr discussed, Inter is currently winning in the Italian Domestic League. So Inter's defeat in the UCL can be cured by the Scudetto title which they will definitely get this season.

this season Al Nasr got off to a bad start in the Saudi Arabian League. Even though at the start of the season many speculated that Al Nasr would definitely not be defeated by any team. Because as we know, in the previous transfer market, Al Nasr recruited many top players from Europe. That is why many people think that no team can compete with Al Nasr in the Saudi Arabian League. However, the reality is very far from what was expected. The reason is that at the start of the season Al Nasr experienced several defeats. So until now Al Nasr's performance is actually still not good. Because even against weak teams, sometimes Al Nasr has a little difficulty.

However, when talking about Al Hilal, this season there is no need to doubt its performance. Because until now Al Hilal has never lost to any team. Even though the star player, Neymar, is still injured to this day. However, Al Hilal's performance remains consistent and can always win every match in the Saudi Arabian League. So it is not surprising that now Al Hilal is certain to win the Saudi Arabian League.

And about Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane. In my opinion, their performance was very good at Al Nasr. Because as you said, they are very good scorers. But still, even though the three of them play very well and can score lots of goals, if their other teammates play less well, Al Nasr will certainly not succeed in becoming a club that dominates Saudi Arabia like Al Hilal. So in essence, equal distribution of player quality is very important for Al Nasr at this time.
Talisca got injured and ended his season, obviously they were already not leading the league and Al Hilal definitely won the league before that so I feel like we should probably consider the fact that they need even more players. I think it is quite obvious to say that we are going to end up with some defensive increases in that team, and a better goalkeeper.

Last season they ended up getting more offensive players and that worked, their offense is amazing and they score good amount of goals but when we are talking about defense, they still need some help.

So, getting a super famous centre back and a great goalkeeper would allow them to actually win the league title next season as well. This won't be all that easy but it would be quite possible to make it work.
Yes, Talisca's injury has really affected Al Nasr's attack line. The reason is, when Talisca plays with Al Nasr, the result is that Talisca always scores goals against the opponent.

Apart from that, last season Al Nasr played quite well and only lost 3 times. However, this season, Al Nasr's performance is actually not much different from last season. Because if you look at Al Nasr's winning record this season it is better than last season. Last season Al Nasr was only able to achieve 20 wins from 30 matches. Meanwhile, this season Al Nasr has won 23 times in 29 matches. So it is clear that Al Nasr's performance this season is not much different from last season. However, what is different this season is that Al Nasr has to compete with Al Hilal, who have an unbeaten record. So this season Al Nasr's situation is much more difficult than last season. This is because competition in the Saudi Arabian League has increased drastically this season. Plus, as you said, Al Nasr's defense is still weak. That's why Al Nasr is having a really hard time topping the Saudi Arabian League standings.

And in my personal opinion, currently Al Nasr does not need to bring in a famous defender or goalkeeper. The reason is that currently Al Nasr already has big names in its defense ranks. Like David Ospina, Alex Teles, Laporte and Brozovic. However, as a result, Al Nasr's defense was still not strong enough. So in my opinion, next season Al Nasr does not need to bring in a famous defender or goalkeeper. However, Al Nasr just has to be able to bring in quality defenders and goalkeepers. Because it's useless if you bring in famous players, but the results are less than satisfactory.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 30, 2024, 02:00:35 PM
I don't expect much for Real Madrid to win, a draw is a pretty good result when tomorrow's first leg is held at the Alianz Arena. Of course Ancelotti has prepared all. Against Sociedad in La Liga, Ancelotti played a lot of substitutes players. So Ancelotti has prepared for this Semi-final with full preparation. Munich will not give up easily, Tuchel wants to give Munich memories and proof with him just needs time to adjust. So Tuchel wants to prove to the management that he's a good coach.
I don't think this match will end in a draw. Because as you said, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich have very strong preparation and determination to achieve victory. Moreover, for Bayern Munich, this first leg match will be held at their headquarters. That way, Bayern Munich will definitely fight hard to win this match. Because playing at home will certainly be more profitable in every way than playing at your opponent's home ground. So Bayern Munich will definitely take advantage of this situation to be able to win and be ahead on aggregate as much as possible.

But Real Madrid will definitely not let that happen. Real Madrid will certainly not feel doubtful or afraid just because they are playing at their opponent's headquarters. A big example was when Real Madrid faced Manchester City in the quarter-finals. In home and away matches, Real Madrid always plays very well. So in this match Real Madrid will certainly play very well even though the match will be held at Bayern Munich's headquarters. So, it is very likely that the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will not end in a draw.
However, in this match, I personally predict that Real Madrid will definitely beat Bayern Munich. Because in my opinion Real Madrid's performance is far superior to Bayern Munich.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 30, 2024, 01:16:59 PM
Atalanta could put Roma aside and take their spot but this will not happen if Roma could continue winning although Atalanta have the advantage to overtake them since Atalanta aren't that consisting and easily lose points.
There will be also a game between Roma and Atalanta in Bergamo and that match will have a huge impact if both teams will remain close to each other.
Yes, Atalanta has a big chance of displacing Roma from 5th position in Serie A. This is because the teams that Roma and Atalanta will face in the remaining matches this season will be decisive. Because in the remaining matches, in my opinion, Roma has one opponent that will definitely be difficult to beat, that team is Juventus. Even though Roma's performance at the end of this season could be said to be quite good. The reason is that in their last 5 matches, Roma has never lost. But the problem is, what Roma will face next week is Juventus. What is certain is that Juventus is not a weak team. Meanwhile, Atalanta in the remaining Serie A matches has quite weak opponents. Maybe only Roma will trouble Atalanta a little. But I'm sure Atalanta can definitely match Roma's game. because in the previous match, Roma was held to a draw by Atalanta. So, the possibility of Atalanta wiping out all the remaining matches is very large (without losing). Meanwhile, I'm sure Roma will have difficulty sweeping all the remaining matches. The reason is because Roma will face Juventus. The reason is that in Roma's last match against Juventus, the result was that Roma lost. So the most realistic possibility in the Roma match against Juventus is a draw or Roma losing. So if Roma loses against Juventus while Atalanta can sweep all matches (including against Roma). Roma's position will certainly be shifted by Atalanta.

I disagree. Xavi is not the best coach ever. He is a pretty weak guy who got lucky that Barcelona is more or less part of his name. As a player, he was an amazing midfielder, but I never saw him as someone who is a good coach. I see how a lot of people are celebrating him, but please compare him to Gurdiola. No way would he ever be able to be mentioned in one breath with Guardiola. Xavi is the worst case, but sadly they need him.
It's true, currently Xavi doesn't deserve to be called the best coach ever. However, it is possible that in the future Xavi will become a very great and accomplished coach. The reason is, currently Xavi is still relatively young as a football coach.
So it is natural that currently Xavi is still not good and has many shortcomings in coaching his club (Barcelona). Because as far as I know, Xavi started his career as a coach in 2019. So up to now, that means Xavi has only been a football coach for 5 years. So having been a football coach for approximately 5 years, Xavi certainly doesn't have much experience. Moreover, with experience coaching European clubs, Xavi certainly doesn't have much experience. The reason is, during his career as a football coach, Barcelona was the first club he coached. Because previously Xavi was a coach at a club from Qatar (Al Sadd). But even though Xavi's experience as a coach is still limited, I think Xavi can be said to be a pretty good coach. The reason is, last season Xavi successfully brought Barcelona to become Laliga champions.

And if you compare Xavi with Guardiola, it is clear that Guardiola is superior. The reason is, Guardiola already has a wealth of experience in the world of football coaching. So I think comparing Xavi with Guardiola is not appropriate. The reason is that Xavi is a new coach, while Guardiola is an old coach who already has a lot of experience.

Liverpool plans to win the trophy were suddenly lost due to mistakes they made themselves, their poor performance against teams at a level below them meant they were knocked out of the hunt for the EPL and Europa League trophies. Being five points behind Arsenal is very difficult to catch in the remaining three games, especially since Liverpool will face Tottenham and Aston Villa in those three games. There is no longer Liverpool's goal other than securing a position in third place, it seems that Klopp's farewell was not as expected because they were unable to win a single trophy this season.
Yes,It is very unfortunate that at the end of the season Liverpool experienced a situation like now. Because if you look at it from the start of the season to the middle of the season, Liverpool has had good performance and is always consistent in every match. However, at the end of this season Liverpool experienced a very significant decline in performance. I don't really understand what the cause is. In fact, if you look at the depth aspect of the players. At the end of this season, Liverpool's main players returned to fitness and only a few of their players suffered injuries. So Liverpool should be able to perform much better. In contrast to the middle of the season when many of Liverpool's main players were injured, but with a limited number of players, Liverpool were still able to play well and win almost every match. So I personally don't understand why Liverpool could experience a significant decline, even though all the main players have recovered from their injuries. So in this way, Liverpool's hopes of becoming the top of the Premier League standings are certainly no longer great.

But even so, Liverpool's achievements in the Premier League this season are better than last season. The reason is that last season Liverpool were unable to secure tickets to the UCL, because Liverpool were only able to finish in 5th position.
However, this season I am sure Liverpool can definitely secure a ticket to the UCL. Because I'm sure Liverpool can definitely maintain third place in the Premier League until this season ends, even though they have to compete with Aston Villa and Tottenham. And if this season Liverpool can get a ticket to the UCL, of course Klopp's departure will mean a little more for Liverpool.

Al-Nassr weren't successful in the beginning of the season and they suffered four defeats after all costing them the title. Al-Hilal in the other hand were very successful and strong at a point that no Saudi Arabia team were able to defeat them and best thing they can do is getting a draw with them, this happened only twice by the way.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in a lesser degree were the firepower of the team but let's not forget also Talisca who scored 16 goals so far, more than Mane but way behind Cristiano Ronaldo who has the unbeaten record.
Yes, this season Al Nasr got off to a bad start in the Saudi Arabian League. Even though at the start of the season many speculated that Al Nasr would definitely not be defeated by any team.

So until now Al Nasr's performance is actually still not good. Because even against weak teams, sometimes Al Nasr has a little difficulty.

However, when talking about Al Hilal, this season there is no need to doubt its performance. Because until now Al Hilal has never lost to any team. Even though the star player, Neymar, is still injured to this day. However, Al Hilal's performance remains consistent and can always win every match in the Saudi Arabian League. So it is not surprising that now Al Hilal is certain to win the Saudi Arabian League.

And about Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane. In my opinion, their performance was very good at Al Nasr. Because as you said, they are very good scorers. But still, even though the three of them play very well and can score lots of goals, if their other teammates play less well, Al Nasr will certainly not succeed in becoming a club that dominates Saudi Arabia like Al Hilal. So in essence, equal distribution of player quality is very important for Al Nasr at this time.

I have been investing in crypto since January 2022 and it is beginning to test my patience waiting for the bull run.

I was buying all along the bottom of the bear market so current prices do not interest me too much as I got in a lot lower so I am just waiting to take profits.

Looking at the 2020 halving, the market didn't really start moving until 4 months later - is this likely to be the case after this recent halving too?

~Snip
It is true that 4 months after the halving in 2020 Bitcoin experienced quite good price movements (up). However, you need to remember that the price of bitcoin started to rise higher, namely at the end of 2021. Then in November 2021 the price of bitcoin managed to break through the ATH at that time at $68K. So if you look at the historical records of the last Bitcoin halving, it means that the time interval before the Bitcoin price experienced a rapid increase (bull run), was approximately one year after the halving occurred. So in my opinion the bull run market that occurs this time will not be much different from the bull run markets that have occurred before. Therefore, you have to be more patient to get the target price you want. Because as we know, the Bitcoin halving just happened. So the potential for bitcoin to experience a very high price increase will definitely take a little longer (1-1.5 years). Therefore, until that happens, you must be able to strengthen your patience even more. And my advice, if you still have capital that can be invested in Bitcoin, then it's better to just continue doing DCA.

Now Manchester City is the favorite to win the title compared to Arsenal because Manchester City is superior in getting points. Even though Arsenal are now leading the standings after beating Tottenham, Manchester City still have one game left that they haven't played. Arsenal have gone through games against Tottenham and perhaps another tough opponent Manchester United.

For the Manchester United vs Arsenal match, there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw, but the match will take place at Manchester United's home ground so they also have a chance to win the match. But for the Tottenham vs Manchester City match, I am more confident that Manchester City will win the match because currently City is so strong.
Currently Manchester City has a very consistent performance in the Premier League. So it is not surprising that Guardiola's team is in the spotlight as a candidate to win the Premier League this season. But even so, Arsenal cannot be underestimated either. Because in my personal opinion, it is possible that in the remaining matches this season Arsenal will sweep all matches with a win. The reason is that in the remaining matches this season, the only team that will definitely make things difficult for Arsenal is Manchester United. Meanwhile, Manchester City currently still has a tough challenge, namely having to face Tottenham. I think Tottenham can also be a threat to Manchester City. The reason is that if you look at the previous match between Manchester City and Tottenham, the result was that Manchester City was only able to draw with Tottenham (English League). So it is certain that Tottenham will be quite a big obstacle for Manchester City in the remainder of this season.

And for Arsenal's match against Manchester United, I think Arsenal will most likely win. Even though the match will be held at the Red Devils headquarters. However, with the quality of players Arsenal currently has, I am sure Arsenal can definitely get the full 3 points. So, in essence, Arsenal also deserves to be prioritized as a candidate to win the Premier League this season.

With the courage that Ancelotti did last night, it is worthy of appreciation that Ancelotti dared to play second layer against Real Sociedad. It cannot be denied that with the squad that was played last night, Ancelotti's team was able to prove that the quality of this team does not depend on just a few players and is still capable. put out his best performance even though player rotation occurred.
Yes, Real Madrid's second tier players who played against Sociedad last night did have a pretty good performance too. In fact, if you look at the match as a whole, Real Madrid's second tier players received many sharp attacks from the Sociedad players. However, fortunately, Real Madrid, which was filled with second-tier players, was able to defend well and was even able to win the match through a single goal scored by Guler.
So with this victory, Real Madrid will certainly be very firmly at the top of the standings and it seems impossible that any team in LaLiga will be able to overtake them.

Arda Guler celebrating goal against Real Sociedad last day  Smiley

First of all, it was great to see Real Madrid and the coach Carlo Ancelotti giving a chance to Arda Guler as promised. I believe he said that he is going to give him more and more chances from now on. And it is also great to see that as soon as he is given a chance, he has been able to deliver. For his first game in La Liga, his first start in La Liga, he called and that is going to be something to remember for him. he is a good player with good abilities. he is able to continue his career with Real Madrid long-term, it is going to be great for him and he is also going to be able to become a legend for Real Madrid in future.

~Snip
It's true, Ancelotti should give players like Guler lots of playing opportunities. Because he has potential that can definitely continue to be developed. Moreover, currently Guler is still young, namely 19 years old. So, with his relatively young age, I'm sure Guler's abilities will definitely be much better than now. This season alone, Guler has scored 2 goals in his 6 matches with Real Madrid in Laliga. In my opinion, this achievement can be said to be extraordinary for a player like Guler. So it is not surprising why Real Madrid decided to recruit Guler last year from Fenerbahce with a fairly long contract, namely 6 years. Because of course Real Madrid has carefully observed that Guler does have very good qualities. That's why Real Madrid decided to sign Guler.

However, Guler's current challenge is definitely having to compete with Bellingham. The reason is that Bellingham and Guler both play as attacking midfielders at Real Madrid. But if, for example, Ancelotti has made a statement to give Guler more playing minutes, I don't think it's impossible for Guler to compete with Bellingham or at least match him.

And today Juventus will face Milan. I think this match will be very difficult for Juventus. Considering their poor performance, it will definitely be very difficult to keep up with Milan in this match. Because currently Milan can be said to be much better than Juventus. The reason is that in their last 5 matches in Serie A, Milan was able to win 3 times, draw 1 time and lose 1 time. Meanwhile, Juventus in their last 5 matches in Serie A was only able to win 1, draw 3 and lose 1. So it is clear that Milan is indeed better than Juventus if seen and assessed from that point of view. So in this match, AC Milan will most likely have a bigger chance of winning.

The best match of the day in Italy will undoubtedly be Juventus vs Milan. Juventus started the season well but have performed poorly in recent weeks. Milan started the season badly but have performed well in recent weeks. Juventus were Inter's rivals for the league title for a long time. Then they lost the leadership race. They will probably lose the race for second place now. Actually, it is hard to predict which team will win this match. Both teams are good. Both teams have talented players who can change the game at any moment. In matches like this, I bet on both teams to score. I feel more confident when I do that.
My prediction with you doesn't seem right in this match. Because in my opinion, in this match, Milan will win the match and will also dominate the game. But in fact Juventus played very well in this match. The reason is that there are lots of opportunities that Juventus players can create. In fact, on several occasions, Juventus players almost managed to break through Milan's goal. But fortunately Milan has a very great goalkeeper. The reason is that in that match, Sportiello as Milan's goalkeeper was able to make many epic saves. Maybe if Milan's goalkeeper in this match wasn't as good as Sportiello, I'm sure Milan would have conceded more than 2 goals. Because in this match I was personally very surprised because the Juventus players were able to play well and you could say they put a lot of pressure on Milan's defense.

However, even though Juventus played very well in this match, unfortunately Juventus could not do anything about its ranking in the Serie A standings. Because this match ended in a draw (0-0). So Juventus remains in 3rd place in Serie A and still has the same points difference with Milan as last week. But even so, the performance of the Juventus players in this match deserves our appreciation. Because the results of this match prove a little to all of us that Juventus is not as bad as we thought.

So with this victory, Real Madrid will certainly be very firmly at the top of the standings and it seems impossible that any team in LaLiga will be able to overtake them.

Apart from that, Ancelotti did make the right decision in this match. The reason is, playing second tier players will certainly be very useful for providing playing minutes and developing the players' talents. Because of course this will be very useful for Real Madrid to form strong players. For example, Guler was able to score a goal in last night's match. His performance as a second tier player could be said to be quite good. Because his skills and mentality seem to have been well trained.

Apart from that, the reason Ancelotti fielded a second tier team in last night's match was of course because in a few days Real Madrid will play in the semifinals of the Champions League. Therefore, Real Madrid's main players must of course get enough rest time and of course must avoid injury. And fortunately, Real Madrid has players whose performance is quite balanced. So in times of busy schedules like now, Ancelotti doesn't need to be confused and doesn't need to be afraid. The reason is that Ancelotti has two layers of players who are certainly both ready to compete.
