what an unexpected thing, cho gue sung managed to score a goal in the 99th minute and forced south korea and saudi arabia to have a penalty shootout. south korea played very carefully from the first half so it is not surprising that they succeeded in winning this match.

but initially i sided with saudi arabia in the match against south korea, they have a good track record, moreover they have already managed to beat argentina, congratulations to south korea, they are a lucky team.

At least Saudi Arabian football is currently starting to improve, but most of the players from the Saudi Arabian national team squad are dominated by players from the Al Hilal team. there are at least 9 other players from Al Hilal, but the player who stands out from Al Hilal is Salem Al Dawsari. this winger performed well even though he was unable to score a goal, but he always provided space for his teammates and an assist in the match against South Korea. what I didn't expect was South Korea, usually they play agile and nimble. in last night's match, only in the second half did South Korea play more aggressively. there are no other words other than, congratulations to South Korea and will meet Australia. as for Saudi, they have to improve the quality of their young players.

Today's match is between Bahrain vs Japan, Japan is currently leading 0-2. Based on the statistics of the first half match, Japan dominated this match.
Another match that will be held is Iran vs Syria, of course Iran is much more favored by the betting bookies. Iran with @1.30, while Syria with odds @11.00. It seems clear, isn't it, there is a gap between these two teams. My estimate is that if Iran is able to score goals in the first half, there will be at least 3 goals in this match. because Syria will certainly play in defensive mode. they will only aim for a counterattack and if they don't succeed, survive until the penalty round. but I am sure, Iran will score 2 goals in this match. so the handicap option -1.5 @1.95 is the ideal option for me personally. Well, let's wait for this match while waiting for the ongoing Bahrain vs Japan match.

Leverkusen just need to play their usual game. As long as they aren't on their unlucky day they should be able to get past Darmstadt obstacle easily. I hope to see as many goals as possible from Leverkusen as well to make up for the last result in the best way possible.  Smiley

Besides I don't give it much probability but maybe Bayern Munich might get a surprising result against Gladbach considering their near history. If this happens it would be great for Leverkusen. However it is too optimistic to think about this possibility, right?  Grin

Theoretically, Leverkusen should not experience any problems when playing their match away to Darmstadt. after all, these two teams really have quite a significant gap. Leverkusen is in first place, while Darmstadt is in the last place in the relegation zone. Likewise, if we refer to the betting market, the bookies are far in favor of Leverkusen in the meeting between these two teams. for the time being, Leverkusen's odds are @1.32 and Darmstadt's are at odds @8.60. Well, on paper, Leverkusen should be able to win smoothly when they visit the Darmstadt squad's home ground. but the problem is, Victor Bonicace and Palacios are still absent from this match. IMO, it is very likely that the home team will play in defensive mode as usual. thus, Xabi Alonso's team had to dismantle the home team's defense line with hard work. Like it or not, Leverkusen must win this match.

Meanwhile, Munich will host Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena. Like Leverkusen, Bayern Munich is far superior in the betting market. In the first meeting this season, Bayern beat Gladbach with a score of 1-2. Now the match is being played at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich's headquarters. Tuchel is well aware of what he has to do with his squad when they host the match against Gladbach. three points, is the result they must achieve in the next meeting. well, let's just assume that both teams won the match. So, next week's match will be a decisive match between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal.

This match ended with a score of 1-2, a victory for Arsenal. according to my prediction, Arsenal will control the course of this match. especially in the first half, Arsenal controlled 81% of ball possession. however, Arsenal were only able to score their lead in the 65th minute by Gabriel Jesus from Zinchenko's assist. In the 72nd minute, Buyako Saka increased Arsenal's lead to 0-2. According to my predictions, Arsenal will score two goals in this match. unfortunately, my predictions were a little off. apparently, the Gunners were unable to win this match with a clean sheet. Unfortunately, in the 89th minute, Taiwo Awoniyi was finally able to reduce the position to 1-2. This goal should not have happened, if William Salaiba was able to block a long pass from the Nottingham Forest player, namely Montiel, if Salaiba was able to head it correctly and throw it away. but what can I say, the fact is that Nottingham Forest was able to reduce the position. however, the Gunners succeeded in winning the match and rose temporarily to second place, replacing Manchester City. BTW, it's very likely that City will take over their position again tomorrow when they beat Burnley.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle.

This match matches my predictions, if Aston Villa will not be able to win the match against Newcastle. even though this match was held in Birmingham, the home team was defeated again in two meetings this season by Newcastle. what's unique is that the two goals scored by Newcastle in the 32nd minute and 36th minute, were scored by Fabian Schar, who incidentally plays as a DC player. Newcastle's last goal was a mistake by an Aston Villa defender who scored an own goal. As for Aston Villa, they were only able to reduce the goal difference in the 71st minute. Statistically, Aston Villa controls ball possession, but technically the two teams play fairly evenly. but in terms of opportunities, Newcastle is better than Aston Villa. in the end, Newcastle managed to break their streak of defeats in their 3 matches in this competition. As for Aston Villa, Unai Emery's squad must be satisfied with the results of this match.

Carlo Ancelotti is smart manager and not problem with real position from Kylian Mbappe as left winger and he can puts him as false nine such as success moving Rodrygo as false nine from his real position as right winger. Still not close the opportunity for Mbappe will join Real Madrid on next window transfer openig and you was little mistake because Madrid won't spent one cent yet for signing Mbappe and waiting his contract over with PSG and become free agent players.
I don't think have difference mission with Real Madrid for signing Kylian Mbappe because still young and Madrid current squad dominance by young players and make Ancelotti has the same mission with Mbappe games style.

Let's just look at Mbappe's current position with Paris Saint-Germain, he often plays as a center forward. It could be that he is only placed as a false nine, or it could be that Mbappe really plays as a pure striker. however, so far Mbappe has made no complaints about the pattern implemented by Luis Enrique. which means, it is possible that Mbappe will actually join Real Madrid. whatever the position, or as you say a false nine. what is certain is that Mbappe joining Real Madrid will make this team even sharper on the front line. although in recent weeks Mbappe has been linked with several clubs, especially Premier League clubs. however, of the many rumors reported, the one closest to Mbappe's move next summer is Real Madrid. but at least, let's just wait until this season ends. and whether Mbappe will really be serious about ending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. we don't know for sure what will happen next summer, especially since the PSG president is still rumored to be always trying to keep Mbappe with PSG. but if in the end this French star joins Real Madrid, I can't imagine how strong Real Madrid will be. theoretically, it should be even fiercer. however, there is no possibility that the large number of star players will actually complicate and become an obstacle for Real Madrid. there are no other words, let's just wait, after all, this competition still has a lot of matches left and the summer transfer window still has quite a long gap.

Barcelona's consecutive defeats seem to have damaged faith in the team. Also, competitors are no longer afraid of them. Barcelona's defense has now shown its weakness. When analyzing rival teams, they work on their weaknesses well. It's a bad period for Barcelona. It would be a huge disappointment if they finished the league outside the top 4.


There is still hope or opportunity for Barcelona to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings. after all, the competition still has enough matches left to improve their performance. Plus, soon several of Barcelona's core players will soon return to training with the regular team. in particular, the main goalkeeper who is really needed by Xavi Hernandez's squad. because Inaki Pena really cannot be relied on, there are many mistakes he made according to my personal observation. Apart from that, there are also several second-tier players who are ready to return to the first team. at least, rather than relying on young players who really lack experience. What is certain is that Barcelona is still in the top four of the standings and has the same points as Atletico Madrid.

Well, this momentum actually proves Xavi's seriousness in bringing Barcelona to at least finish in the top four of La Liga. He has quite a tough task at the end of his tenure for Barcelona, ​​as well as the club that made his name when he was still a player. Ideally, Xavi needs to work together with his team to achieve the best results before this season ends. in particular, put in a good performance in the Champions League. there is still time, Xavi must make the best of this opportunity. Barcelona has competitive depth, unfortunately they are not consistent when playing their matches. Injuries to several players, decline in performance, made Barca not what its supporters, including me, expected. We'll see how far Xavi can go before he actually leaves Camp Nou.

Al Hilal is better than Inter Miami. The results of this match allowed many football observers to assess the impact of many big players who have played in European leagues.
Mitrovic's 4-3 victory against the Bekcham club can be used as a good sign that the Saudi Pro League team is not a team to be underestimated, even if it is only a friendly match.
Players like Messi, Suarez, Busquet and Jordi Alba were no longer good when they were younger than their current age.

A neat victory for Al Hilal in the match against Inter Miami. In this match, I don't think the Inter Miami players were serious about their match. The reason is, almost all of Inter Miami's defensive players played very under-performing. whether it's Jordi Alba, and four other defenders. without exception, Sergio Busquets played very badly. There were only three Inter Miami players who played optimally in this match, namely, David Ruiz, Suarrez and Lionel Messi.
Honestly, I don't know how Inter Miami plays their matches in MLS. However, it seems like this friendly match is only part of training for the team squad which is filled with Messi and his friends, former Barcelona players. After all, Messi, Suarez, Busquet and Alba, are players who have entered the age of 30++. In the Al Hilal camp, Jorge Jesus also did not field his entire main squad, especially the Al Hilal players who were on duty playing with the national team. However, this victory adds to the row that Al Hilal wins and is in very impressive performance with a positive trend.

Next, I want to see Al Hilal play their match against DC United. In this phase, I want to compare whether Inter Miami really played badly or they just treated this match as practice, apart from a friendly match. In the next two days Al Nassr will meet Inter Miami. This match should be more exciting because it will bring together two legendary stars. plus, several other players who have also been Ronaldo's competitors. Hopefully, I have time to watch the match between these two teams.

PSG fell to a draw to Brest, and this is quite worrisome especially as they’re now beginning to deop points and get nice closer to them. Well in this match, Brest had a good match where they were able to defend compactly against PSG. They  are getting the fans worried with these kind of results as it’s not what’s required of them if they’ll want to win the league as this result will only redice their performance and it’s going to be quite worrisome. This is a league they ought to be winning without much stress and falling to a draw to a team like Brest is quite worrisome.

 PSG must try not to allow a repetition of this kind of resukt as it could have negative effect on their standings in the log and it’s quite worrisome and least expected. Well they’ll need to improve especially as they got the UCL title in chase at the moment and with this performance they’re not going to go far in the UCL.

It is very natural that the top team is not always able to finish the match with a win. yeah, like the PSG vs Brest match. this match ended in a draw with a score of 2-2. You don't need to worry if Paris Saint Germain can only draw when they host Brest. after all, Brest's performance in 10 matches in two competitions was quite good with no defeats. Brest only experienced two draws, namely Strasbourg and the match against PSG. Basically, the ups and downs in a team's performance are not unusual in football. even though, PSG is in a positive trend. after all, PSG did not lose in this match. but the losers are those who bet on choosing Paris Saint-Germain.

Referring to the data and statistics of PSG players, there are several players who underperform. Some of the names are Warren Zaire-Emery who was placed at wing back. even though, this player plays as a midfielder. Lucas Beraldo, didn't play well in his first debut together. PSG only brought this young player from Brazil this January. In this match, Enrique is trying to experiment with other patterns and rotations. one of them, reducing Warren Zaire-Emery to a wing-back like in the match versus Lens. but in this match, he did not play optimally. the other two defenders also did not play with good performance, it is natural that these two players were also tried to shift their positions by Luis Enrique to find out their performance playing in other positions. apart from that, Ruiz also didn't play ideally. so, to be more precise, in this match, Enrique is experimenting with his squad, IMO. so it's normal if the results are not optimal. Plus, Mbappe was unable to score a goal in this match even though he had several opportunities. It could be that Enrique will still carry out some of his experiments in the match against Strasbourg. So, don't worry about Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 competition.

Saudi Arabia vs South Korea.

It would be a shame if Saudi Arabia had to stop moving towards the next round of matches. even though Saudi took the lead first with a neat pass from Al Dawsari "a winger from Al Hilal", Abdulah Radit, Al Shabab's young striker, was able to put it to good use in the 46th minute. Referring to the course of the match, in the first half the match was quite balanced even though Saudi Arabia was slightly master ball possession. unfortunately, two chances hit the goal post.
entering the second half, South Korea started to play aggressively by controlling 71% of ball possession. 11 total shots, 4 on target, 2 big chances, 1 hit the goal post. It seems that after Saudi Arabia took a 1-0 lead, their focus was on maintaining their position until the end of the match. That's why South Korea dominated ball possession and the course of the match. Unfortunately, at the end of the match in the 90+9th minute, South Korea was able to equalize the score at 1-1.

In extra time, the game returned to normal as they fought each other to score goals. although in terms of opportunities, South Korea is much better. In the end, the match continued with a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia had to stop and South Korea had the right to advance to the next phase to become Australia's challenger. But at least, the Saudi Arabian national team showed that they were able to provide resistance to South Korea, which in fact is one of the strongest teams in the Asian Cup competition. The development of Saudi football has developed very well. Despite all that, of the teams competing in this competition, I still favor Qatar who will be one of the candidates to compete in the Asian Cup Final. well, there are still other matches in the round of 16, so let's just enjoy each match.

It's good to have a source of income at first before you start gambling but I want to talk about this even more, do you know that even with your source of income you might be at one spot and not move forward?

if we don't earn, how can we do gambling. which means, we can conclude that most people who gamble have an income. whether it's from working as a laborer, working as a coolie, or doing odd jobs, especially someone who has a permanent job. Well, an interesting point for our study is related to being in one place, in other words not moving or moving forward. so it's like this, is this because of gambling? or, we as the perpetrators don't have the mindset to move forward!  It doesn't matter if you gamble or not, this cycle almost happens to us humans. the point is, if there is action there will of course be a reaction

No progression means you are no different from someone who have no source of income, I know someone who work so hard, I mean the hard jobs, that I can't even do, but at the end of the month when he gets paid he always waste everything on gambling, as if something told him that gambling is the way in this world for him.

He can't stop this, he can't help it, he is addicted to this way, I knew this after he start going around asking for things that he should be able to afford as a worker, he confessed that he lost money at first but the same thing kept happening for months and I find out that he is risking all his salary on gambling.

Is there anyway to help this person? I have given some advice to start using small percentage of the whole salary and safe the rest but still couldn't, and I don't want to help him to hold his money for him, he is over 28 years old, not a underage.

He have gotten used to this way because he started gambling all by himself and he won some money but end up even fuelling his addiction. What is next? Any tip?

I understand what you mean, so let's separate my first post from what I said for the second point. if the person you're talking about in this thread is your friend, it's your job to tell him. direct it, try to approach it persuasively. however, don't get your hopes up that what you do in this way can be a trigger for him to reduce his gambling activities. that doesn't mean your friends will ignore it, in fact it's not uncommon for them to be very aware and aware of it. It's just that the problem lies with your friend. In fact, there are many ways and methods that can be used, one of which is telling his family to get involved to give him advice or advice. however, these measures are also sometimes ineffective if a person has experienced an acute gambling disorder. another way is to take this person to a specialist or rehabilitation center. thus, maybe he will get help from people who are competent in this field. but the most important thing is, strong desire and intention. If that doesn't exist, then all the efforts made by the people closest to you, including you, will not have a big impact, let alone lead to something positive.

Today we will find out if Arsenal will remain in the third position or Aston Villa will seize the opportunity to take over the third place in the premier league table. Although it will be difficult for Aston Villa since the team, they are playing is a very strong team, which is Newcastle. I expect Newcastle to win them or maybe the game should end draw. My predictions for the Aston Villa vs Newcastle are 2:2. Whie Nottingham forest vs Arsenal is 0: 2. If by mistake Arsenal fail to win this match, then i would be certain that they won't have a chance to win the EPL title.

Looking at the current squad in Arsenal where so many injured players are back. Players like Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber. With their presence we may see a better performance form the Arsenal team. It is obvious that with the presence of Partey the team gets stronger since there is this relief for the two defenders to focus on their defensive duties. Rice does put his effort handling the defensive midfield but not to the extent Partey would do it.

If Arsenal wins this match, Arsenal's ranking will temporarily shift the position of the team above it, namely Manchester City. talking about this match, I have said in the post above regarding my predictions. so, yeah, let's wait and watch this fight which will be held soon.

As for the other matches, to be honest I didn't research and try to analyze the Aston Villa vs Newcastle match. however, if we refer to the match at the first meeting this season, Aston Villa was humiliated by Newcastle at St James' Park with a score of 5-1. this match will be an important match for the home team, apart from avenging their defeat in the away match. also, getting full points is the main mission they are targeting. however, it seems that it will not be easy for Aston Villa to overthrow Newcastle, even though in their last four matches Newcastle has not been able to win the match. however, this match could be a trigger for Eddie Howe's squad to show that they can recover and win the battle at Aston Villa's home ground. although, the home team is superior. I'm quite sure that Unai Emery's squad will not easily defeat their opposing team, especially since several of their players are out due to injury.

Referring to the predicted line up for these two teams, Newcastle will stick with its 4-3-3 and while Aston Villa will probably apply a different pattern. I do not guarantee that the references used are correct and appropriate. well, the home team's odds are quite ideal at @1.85. while Newcastle, is more tempting with @3.80. My feeling is that Newcastle will win this match. however, in football you can't just rely on gut feelings. well, I don't bet on the Aston Villa vs Newcastle match. but there's nothing wrong, if you choose the option that you predict will result in a score of 2-2. but for me, this match doesn't look like Aston Villa will win. so, the ideal option if you want to bet on a handicap of +05 @1.93 Newcastle. well, let's wait for the final results of these two matches.

811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 30, 2024, 05:31:33 PM
It is very possible that the match will end in a draw because Barcelona has also started to experience frequent defeats in important matches recently. Examples include the defeat against Athletic Club in the Copa Del Rey and the defeat which I think is quite ridiculous in La Liga with Villarreal at home. So Barcelona's match with Napoli could have ended in a draw considering the current condition of both teams which is both bad and even if Napoli were very aware of this, of course Napoli should be able to fight to win that match.

Maybe, after all in football nothing is impossible. moreover, Barcelona's defenders are currently in a bad phase. On the other hand, Napoli's condition is not much better than Barcelona. This Italian team is not even in the top four of its domestic league standings, a setback that happened to the team that won the Serie A trophy last season. not much different from Barcelona, ​​last season becoming League champions, this season it seems the trophy doesn't belong to Barcelona.

Talking about the Napoli versus Barcelona match in the round of 16, as you said, the match has the potential to end in a draw. However, on the Barcelona side, it seems that several key players have certainly recovered from their injuries, one of the crucial players that Barcelona really needs at the moment is Ter Stegen and this goalkeeper will definitely be back guarding Barcelona's goal. Likewise with Raphinha, who will definitely return to compete in the Champions League competition. Sergio Roberto, will also return soon. At least, there is an option for Xavi rather than playing players who lack experience like the young players in several previous matches.
For me, Napoli's advantage is playing at home in the first leg. However, Barcelona benefited from the recovery of several of its core players. We can refer to the betting market, Barcelona is slightly superior to the home team in terms of odds. in several matches Barcelona performed poorly, but with the return of players who have recovered from injury, the situation may be different.  there are no other words, other than we are waiting for round 16 to be held.
812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: January 30, 2024, 02:54:28 PM
Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

So far, we've covered almost the same thread as the one you posted. but it doesn't matter, maybe with this we can discuss again and share experiences and knowledge, especially about insight. referring to your question, I will quote it. "Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?", of course it can and has the potential. where a gambler will carry out actions beyond normal human rationality as a result of his addiction. It's just that, in real life, anything can be a trigger that causes domestic violence to occur. it doesn't need to just be gambling addicts, there are many other examples including other addictions. the problem is, how can something like this not happen, be repeated or become a reminder for us. That's my explanation for the title above.

To be honest, I am very interested in what you said regarding the point that addiction can be a thorn in the flesh, we often use these figurative words for things that are not good.  however, as I said above. In fact, everyone has different problems in their homes. It doesn't need to just be about addiction, economic problems are usually the main obstacle. gambling and others, could be the variables that cause it. So in essence, the violence that occurs depends on the psychology of each individual and includes the problems they are facing. The point is, we can't simplify things in a case just because he is an addict. It's true, what you say can be the trigger. However, there is something at the real root. If you want to have an in-depth discussion, you can go to experts who are related to violence experienced in the household.

Nottingham Forest is a strong team, they often cause problems to opponents, but Nottingham play unstable, they alternate wins and losses. I think Nottingham will not be able to take points from Arsenal, but Forest play on their own field and for sure they will try to give a fight to the Gunners. So my choice, both teams will score and Arsenal will win.

IMO, choosing for both teams to score is quite a risky option considering that it is based on H2H meetings between these two teams. in the last 3 meetings, Nottingham Forest was only able to score a goal in the last match with a score of 2-1. however, because currently Arsenal concede quite often, especially in the early minutes of the match, it might be a good option for you with odds @1.90. unfortunately, I doubt it a bit. except, if Arsenal's defense is underperforming. or, Forest is able to score quickly in the early minutes of the match. even so, there is nothing wrong with your chosen option. btw, I just found out that currently Nuno Santo is managing Nottingham Forest after leaving Al Ittihad. Let's refer to the line-up of these two teams, it seems that on the home side there are many players who are absent due to injury. plus several players are on international duty. so, it is certain that Nottingham Forest will not be strengthened by their starting eleven.

On the contrary, Arsenal will play their full core of players in this match in order to achieve positive results after overthrowing Crystal Palace in the previous match. even though Tomiyasu is absent because he is with the Japanese national team, Arsenal has other player options that they can rely on. I think Arsenal will control the game in this match, and the home team will only rely on counterattacks. Nottingham Forest with odds @7.60, while Arsenal @1.40. Obviously the 1x2 option is the safest option in this match. however, if you refer to my estimates, the Gunners will score at least 2 goals in this match. the problem is, can they win this match with a clean sheet? if yes, the handicap option -1.25 odds @1.81 is the most ideal option for me personally. As an Arsenal fan, I really hope that the Gunners will put on an interesting match to enjoy.

Toulouse vs Lens was the only match that didn't end in a draw last night and unfortunately it was this match that I missed in betting. Actually, we can already guess who the winner will be and here, even though Lens come as the visiting team, they can be relied on to win. The results as we can see Lens won with a score of 0-2 from Toulouse.

Actually, I was quite worried if the result was a draw like the previous match, but I didn't expect Lens to break expectations and steal points in this away match. An additional 3 points keeps Lens from moving in 8th position but now they have the same points as Marseille and this week the competition will certainly be much more exciting.

In this match, Lens was able to win the match without a goal in return. In the first half, Da Costa was able to take advantage of El Aynaoui's pass and scored the opening goal for Lens against Toulouse. Halfway through the second half, Andy Diouf was able to shoot a powerful shot in the 55th minute which was quite cool in the area outside the penalty box. The player's hard shot was unable to be blocked by the Toulouse defenders and neither was Toulouse goalkeeper Guillauma Restes. During the match, in the first half Lens dominated 54% ball possession, 9 total shots, 3 on target and 1 big chance.
In the second half, Toulouse played more aggressively to equalize. In fact, Toulouse controlled 61% of ball possession, 11 total shots, three big chances, 1 shot hit the goal post and they wasted one penalty opportunity. In the end, Lens won this match with a score of 0-2. Technically, there is not much difference between these two teams.

But unfortunately, Toulouse was unable to capitalize on the momentum against Lens who were playing at home. However, it is normal for the home team to lose, the fact is that Toulouse really underperformed. They were only able to win three matches out of 19 matches, 8 draws and 8 defeats.
Meanwhile, Lens was able to end their bad streak of three matches in various competitions without winning. In this match, Lens was able to maximize its match by getting full points. now, Lens has the same 29 points as Maseille who is ranked 7th in the standings. In the next match, Lens will visit Landang Nantes. The victory over Toulouse must be a motivation to achieve positive results in the next match.

Ittihad goal in getting Benzema was to increase the popularity of the team and the big names of the SPL, but since the start of the season until now Benzema has not given a strong performance, just like an ordinary player, even though he is a european star player who is known for having a great playing style in the past.
this time we can't see what Benzema future holds, but according to rumors circulating it seems like Benzema will only be loaned to a european team but we don't know which team will try to get Benzema.

Indeed, Benzema contract with Ittihad will end in 2026 so currently Ittihad also doesn't want to lose money and would rather loan this player to another team and see how he performs in europe and if when he is in europe Benzema is able to appear attractive, I think what I think is correct that Benzema is just not comfortable being in the SPL.

Well, apart from increasing popularity, competition is very important both for the club and perhaps for Bemzema who has a big name. As for Benzema's performance, he never showed his best game, it is very natural because the style of the coaching system that previously handled Al Ittihad was not ideal for Karim Benzema's typical game. apart from that, Nuno Santo tends to prefer counterattacking rather than playing offensively in crucial matches. It is normal for Al Ittihad to experience problems if they only rely on Karim Benzema, Fabinho and Ngolo Kante. while other players are not as reliable. most importantly, players who are able to support Benzema in the attack line. like Al Nassr, in the first season Al Nassr was mediocre. however, this season, Ronaldo is supported by players who are truly competent in their respective positions. whether it's wing, midfielder and pivot.

Regardless of what you say, I just read the news. Chelsea, Arsenal absent from Karim Benzema race and it looks like Benzema will stay in Saudi Pro League. the thing is, it looks like neither Arsenal nor Chelsea have any way of getting past the massive £2m-a-week wages and TEAMtalk can confirm that they won't be able to bring Benzema to Stanford Bridge this season. likewise with Arsenal, TEAMtalk has been told that Arsenal will not sign Benzema and leave the competition early after having conversations with Benzema's agent. Meanwhile Lyon, tried their best to try and sign Benzema this month but it was very difficult to achieve or make it happen. well, Benzema's future is currently uncertain. So, ideally Benzema will stay with AL Ittihad and the club must improve its team with several newcomers who can help Benzema on the front lines.

Girona's players are now  very difficult to contain. Girona  players are desperate to score. They  are very confident and capable of performing well in every match.

Girona's players have scored  a total of 52 goals in 22 matches. La Liga's  top scorer is now Girona. The  players of Real Madrid cannot score so many goals. Madrid managed to  score 46 goals in their 21 matches.

Girona's main  goal now is to do well in La Liga. So Girona is not worried about the defeat against Mallorca in the Copa Del Rey. Girona has been playing consistently well in La Liga and still holds the top spot in the table.
   

Entering the 23rd La Liga match this season, I still didn't expect that Girona would still be able to maintain its position at the top of the standings. even though in reality, the points between Girona and Real Madrid are only 1 point apart. so far, Girona has played quite well and their players have been very productive in terms of scoring goals. That's why Girona is quite solid and difficult for the opposing team to beat. what is certain is that Girona has benefited from not participating in many competitions, plus Michel's performance as Girona's architect deserves appreciation. because even with a limited squad, even some of the newcomers are loan players and free agents. in fact, Girona is showing something different this season than in previous seasons. in fact, Girona benefited even though they were defeated by Mallorca. thus, Michel's focus is only on the La Liga competition. It would be even better if Girona played nothing to lose when playing match after match. thus, Michel's team will not feel great pressure.

This week, Girona will host a match against Real Sociedad. In the first meeting at Sociedad headquarters, the match ended in a draw. this week, Girona has the potential to overthrow Sociedad at home. After that, the match against Madrid will be a match that looks like it could provide a surprise. on the contrary, before Madrid hosted the match against Girona. El Real must play the Madrid derby match first. So, Madrid will have two important matches that they must win if they want to be at the top of the La Liga standings.

Xavi didn't choose to leave but I think Barcelona wanted to get him fired from the team the CEO of Barcelona made him to leave instead of getting fired Maybe there are some financial benefits for Barcelona in this and they obviously don't want to disrespect their legendary paler.
We can't forget that Xavi had a perfect performance in Barcelona in the last season, but now they should make a decision after to get the team ready for the match they are going to have in the Champions League against Napoli.

However, in fact, it is clear that Xavi Hernandez has said he will resign as Barcelona coach at the end of this season. In fact, he conveyed Xavi's decision to resign as Barca coach after his team suffered defeat in La Liga. Xavi said, "I think the situation needs to change direction", quoted from BCC Sport. so, I think what you say is a personal assumption. because, there is no evidence at all. For example, if Barcelona wants to fire him, it is very likely that Laporta will do it without having to create this scenario.

Well, if there is financial gain, what is the trigger? Honestly, I'm a little curious about what you think and maybe we can discuss it more widely if you're interested. btw, I am a Barcelona supporter. But to be honest, I don't really like the style and system that Xavi uses. There are several points that in my opinion, Xavi lacks experience and the experiments he carries out are sometimes quite strange. However, I don't deny that thanks to Xavi, Barcelona was able to win a trophy last season. Well, as far as we know, Xavi will still manage Barcelona until this season ends. at least with his statement regarding resignation at the end of the season, Xavi should have done his job well. whether in domestic competitions or the Champions League match against Napoli in the round of 16.

There are still 2 days left, we will see how Arsenal will face Nottingham, but this match is a little doubtful because Arsenal will be playing as guest at home to Nottingham.
Meanwhile, Nottingham is usually club that can always be stronger when competing at home because we all know that away or home has big influence on the final result of a match on the one hand, Arsenal is currently in an unstable situation.
Even though Nottingham is in 16th place in the points table, I'm sure we all know that Nottingham has beaten Manchester united and Newcastle at that time.
I'm worried that in this match Arsenal will have the same fate because Arsenal will definitely lose a little enthusiasm when playing away from home.
From my predictions for the result of this match, if Arteta uses  defensive formation, I'm sure it will end in a draw, but if Arteta uses an attacking strategy, it looks like it would be a little worse if they were defeated by Nottingham.

Based on H2H from 2022, Nottingham Forest has won two of its matches against Arsenal when playing the match at home. one match in the FA Cup, one match in the Premier League. however, Nottingham was only able to win the match by a narrow score. referring to Nottingham Forest's performance when they played 10 home games, they were only able to win 3 of them. 3 matches with a draw, 4 matches with a defeat. So, your doubts can be dismissed based on the available data and statistics. Meanwhile, Arsenal, after playing a series of 4 matches without a win. three in the Premier League, one match in the FA Cup. Arsenal are starting to get back on the right track after beating Crystal Palace with a landslide score at the Emirates. In the last Premier League match, Nottingham Forest lost to Brenford with a 3-2 chord. Meanwhile, Arsenal were able to beat Palace with a final score of 5-0.

Referring to the line-up, it seems likely that Arteta will not change his line-up. on the other hand, the home team is doubtful. Apart from having several injured players, it is certain that the Gunner players will control the match. Moreover, Arsenal currently has to be more serious about playing their matches with a win. either to narrow the difference in points, or maintain the distance to the top of the standings. This means that Arsenal will play with the mission of getting full points even though Forest was able to beat Newcastle and United in the previous match. However, these two teams have quite a clear gap. judged by standings, team depth and also based on betting market odds. Nottingham Forest with @7.60, while Arsenal @1.42. On paper, Arsenal should be able to win this match.

Klopp can give liverpool europa league trophy this season before he will be leaving fromt he club. I think that pep was different case caused by manchester city was playing in the UCL not europa league. This is the chance owning by liverpool to perform better. Nunez and friends can prove that if they are worthy players.
Klopp must have won this trophy caused by it will be a very important trophy before he leaves from the club. Liverpool gets easiest route to play in this league and im not doubting the chance of liverpool to get the trophy it quite big right now.
Things may be changing once he will be leaving from the club to join in the different league. Im concerning about how liverpool may have different fance when the club was not able performing pretty well. Im only wondering who is the next coach for liverpool.

Im sure people have been also talking about this. Liverpool had two ways to qualify for the UCL. The first one through EPL and second one is UEL.

It is not impossible that Klopp will be able to give the club and the Red fans the Europa League trophy, because after all Liverpool's probability of winning the competition is very large. however, there is no definite guarantee that Liverpool will present this trophy to their supporters even though it is a farewell event between the club, Jurgen Klopp and the Red supporters for the last time in charge of Liverpool. as I said in several previous posts, Liverpool's progress is not necessarily as smooth as we think even though their performance is in a very positive trend. moreover, if competition in the Domestic League competition is getting tighter between Liverpool, City and Arsenal. which means, Jurgen Klopp's focus will be divided into several competitions. and for sure, the Premier League will be one of his priorities.

Apart from that, several teams that have dropped out of the Champions League will try to show their game in the competition for the Europa League trophy. It could be that these teams are able to provide tough resistance and competition. plus, Leverkusen is also one of the contenders for the trophy, even though their main striker is injured. however, Xabi Alonso's team still performed quite well. If Leverkusen meet a team below their level, Xabi Alonso's team will not experience difficulties and wait for the recovery of their main striker. it could be, if Leverkusen is more serious in the race for the Europa League trophy. Moreover, if Bayern Munich returns to being at the top of the standings, Xavi's hopes may only be focused on this competition. btw, this is just a possible scenario..Regarding the future successor candidate for Jurgen Klopp, perhaps Xabi Alonso will be the strongest candidate to replace Klopp later. but on condition that the Leverkusen coach is also willing.

It is rumored that Hansi Flick will be Xavi's replacement next season. We know that there is still speculation about who will be Barcelona coach next season and the former German national team coach seems quite worthy of the position left by Xavi. He has a lot of experience as a coach and we know that when Germany won the world cup in 2014, he was the coach at that time. Plus, he was also coach of Bayern Munich for two seasons.

I think Barcelona has found the right coach and maybe it's just a matter of how Barcelona can convince Hansi Flick to want to become coach of the Blaugrana squad. Competition is increasingly fierce and Barcelona doesn't want to make a wrong move in choosing the right coach. While Hansi Flick is not managing any team, they have to move quickly to reach an agreement.

In several newspapers that I read, Barcelona has a number of names related to the position to replace Xavi Hernandez next season. one of them is Arteta, but it is claimed that the coach from Spain is not interested in leaving the Emirates Stadium next summer. however, according to BILD's Christian Fark, president Joal Laporta is still interested in getting Hansi Flick. Flalk also said that Laporta had a video call chat with Flick at that time. and it is hoped the conversation will be revisited in the coming weeks. however, Flick is not the only German who has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Xavi. another big name linked with the defending La Liga champions is current Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, who spoke about his desire to work in Spain after Xavi confirmed his departure at the end of this season, according to a report by Goal. however, Barcelona is most likely not in a rush to make a final decision, especially as Barcelona's qualification to appear in the Champions League next season is in doubt.

And at the same time, Barcelona has not been able to significantly improve their financial condition. by the way, in my personal view, plus as a Barcelona supporter. honestly, for me the most ideal choice to replace Xavi Hernandez is Hansi Flick. this man, who is 58 years old, is an ideal coach with a series of achievements he has achieved, especially when managing Bayern Munich. although Flick has never trained outside his home country, Germany. however, his experience in handling large teams has been proven. well, I hope Hansi Flick is willing to become Barcelona coach after Xavi leaves Barcelona.
