Leverkusen made the difference in points between the two getting closer after a draw in the last match even though Leverkusen should be safer if 3 points adrift, Munich is certainly more enthusiastic if they are given the opportunity to get closer. Competition between the two teams deserves to be monitored and what we are waiting for is the next 2 weeks of the big match Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich, Leverkusen has more opportunities for playing as a host but Munich who has experience will certainly not give up, however they remain ambitious to win the title especially Harry Kane as a newcomer want to celebrate for the first time.

Kane's arrival in the Bundesliga with Munich is one way to achieve what he has always dreamed of. with Bayern Munich, Kane can make it happen in the next season or two, especially in this competition as well as in various competitions including the Champions League. that's why, Kane will do his job as best as possible to make his personal dreams come true. plus, Tuchel's mission and plans for Bayern Munich. with the draw result in the Leverkusen vs Gladbach match, the difference in points between Bayern and Leverksuen became narrower between the two. which means, Bayern can overtake Liverkusen at any time. it could be next week, or the following week during the big meeting between these teams. Isn't it interesting, the Bundeliga provides exciting weeks.

If we talk about the meeting between the two teams, it is clear that Leverkusen has the advantage of playing at BayArena's home ground. however, Bayern has no problem playing anywhere, especially if they are on fire. the problem is, it looks like it is predicted that Bayern will not be strengthened by several of its core players. Coman, Kimmich, Gnabry, Upamecamo. but what is certain is that Tuchel has a mission to get full points against Leverkusen. Meanwhile for Leverkusen, it is certain that Victor Beniface will remain absent until his injury has fully recovered. It is also doubtful that Palacios will appear in this match. So, both coaches must prepare their strategies for the next meeting between these two teams.  surely. This match will be very interesting, exciting and tense.

Luis Enrique still has a tough task ahead of him even though he can still make PSG dominate in Ligue 1. But yes, PSG's main goal of recruiting Luis Enrique is not only for success in Ligue One. Because after all, PSG also expects success in the Champions League or at least, for this first season it is hoped that Luis Enrique can take PSG further in the Champions League such as to the semifinal match or maybe to the final match. Because ya, if we consider PSG in Ligue 1, of course it is clear that PSG is still a team with above-average quality when compared to the teams in Ligue 1.

IMO, I think Enrique is well aware that his current squad is not ready to compete fiercely in the Champions League competition. Based on my point of view, PSG is quite consistent in Ligue 1 but this team is not yet strong enough for the Champions League, especially in terms of solid, mature play, established players, and a proven mentality. we can refer to the depth of the current PSG team, almost mostly dominated by young players. however, because their opponent in the 16th round is Real Sociedad, Luis Enrique will try to win the match and qualify for the next round. perhaps, Enrique's stint in the Champions League takes him as far as he can without targeting the championship trophy.

And in the next season, PSG will get rid of incompetent players and fill them with players who can be relied on in all areas. thus, perhaps PSG will be better prepared to compete in the Champions League next summer. For now, Enrique's task is to build the PSG squad into a solid team. plus, still retaining the Ligue 1 trophy. For me, if PSG is able to enter the last eight it will be more than enough with the current Paris Saint-Germain squad. the problem is, they can't always rely on Mbappe. while other players are still trying to reach their playing level while adapting to the system that Enrique implements. Next season, it looks like PSG will prepare its team better and bring in several competent and reliable newcomers. Unfortunately, it is very likely that Mbappe will remain with his stance on terminating his contract this season. That's also why, in the scenario, Enrique's task is to rebuild PSG's strength with new players without their star Mbappe.

Seeing Leverkusen fail to secure a win against Gladbach is actually starting to indicate a decline in their level of goal productivity and it is quite worrying if next week they still fail to win. Bayern Munich seems to have received advice to win the Bundesliga again if the best scenario is through less than optimal results achieved by Leverkusen. We definitely remember last season where Bayern Munich got lucky when Dortmund was almost certain to win the title and what I'm afraid of is if this season happens again and Leverkusen becomes a stepping stone for Bayern Munich to lift the title.

The absence of several players and Victor Boniface was one of the obstacles for Xabi Alonso's team when playing several matches, Leverkusen had a little difficulty in scoring goals even though they were still playing well. when Leverkusen played Augsburg, they were only able to score 1 goal in the final minutes of the match. after that, Leverkusen against Leipzig, of the 3 goals they scored, two goals were scored by defenders. luckily, Levekusen finally won the match against Lepzig by scoring a goal in the 90+1 minute. Against Gladbach, Leverkusen actually had many opportunities. Unfortunately, none of the many opportunities they had were converted into goals. In the end, the match ended in a draw. On the other hand, Bayern Munich won the match and currently the two teams are only separated by two points.

Next week, it seems Leverkusen will have no problems when playing against Darmstadt. the team which incidentally is in last place in this competition. On the other hand, Bayern will play their match against Gladbach. If these two teams win their match, then the following week will be a crucial match for both teams to determine the distance or overtake the position. well, we don't need to talk about last season between Bayern and Dortmund. because, we will soon see the Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich match on February 11. The results of this match will determine the temporary position to occupy the top of the Bundesliga. Let's just wait, because this match will be a crucial match that will present an exciting battle.

Yeah, Xavi has officially announced his intention to leave Barcelona. It wasn't very surprising to me thinking of his threatening the players to leave before if they weren't going to improve their performances.

We must have all seen what Barcelona did against Villarreal a short time after that talk. It was just a little faster than the time I thought Xavi would decide to leave. From now on I hope Barcelona can manage to find a good manager for themselves. Xavi wasn't bad in the previous season. But things haven't gone the way he would like this season so far. As this is his personal decision I respect that.

I am not surprised by the statement that Xavi said, "it's time to go". In the end, Xavi decided to leave Barcelona at the end of the season. It's quite sad indeed, considering his struggle for Barcelona so far, Xavi is struggling to bring in players with the limited financial conditions that Barcelona is currently experiencing. relying on the La Masia players in the condition of the main players who were injured, this time it was not as smooth as when bringing Balde, Gavi, Padri, to the main squad. IMO, as Barcelona fans, Barca actually didn't play as bad as we thought. It's just that, the problems Barcelona is facing are injured players and other problems. Plus, the difficulty of bringing in players who Xavi needs means he doesn't have many choices.

Based on my point of view, the worst thing is Barcelona's very bad defense. The absence of several core players only makes Barcelona weaker in defense. what is clear is that Xavi cannot always rely on young players, especially La Masia graduates. like the match against Villarreal, Barcelona's defense was very fragile. especially young players like Hector Fort, Pau Cubarsi, and the unreliable goalkeeper, Inaki Pena. I think maybe Xavi was mentally affected so he decided to leave at the end of this season. btw, this is just my personal assumption. What is clear is that Xavi will still manage Barcelona until the end of this season. I hope Xavi can give his best, even though I actually don't really suit the system that Xavi uses for Barcelona, ​​but nevertheless he was quite instrumental for Barcelona, ​​especially last season. well, Xavi has decided that this season he will end managing Barcelona. As a Barcelona supporter, I really respect his decision.  Moreover, I was an admirer when Xavi was still a player. and hopefully, next season Barcelona can find a more competent replacement.

It is really difficult to understand Marcus Rashford. He has been inconsistent over the years. For example he had a wonderful season previously. Under Erik ten Hag's management Rashford also played a significant role in Manchester United to start fixing their problems. His performance played a really good role in his team to join the Champions League as well.

But now we see a Rashford who has lost his way.  Sad  He doesn't look very keen on finding it either considering his general performance level so far. While he is one of the most crucial players for the Red Devils this is making a bad impact on the results.

Maybe since Marcus Rashford played well last season and started to be seen as one of United's dangerous players, his ego started to play out so he neglected his discipline a little. we can refer to his statistics several times Rashford only played him starting from the bench. Ten Hag deliberately gave him punishment, perhaps so that he could return to discipline. however, what happened was that Marcus Rashford's performance fluctuated and sometimes even underperformed. United lost teamwork, especially the lack of cooperation between the pure striker and Marcus Rashford as a winger. in fact, there are several other United players who are just as undisciplined. also, ignoring teamwork and wanting to appear alone to be the best.

So, the problems faced by United are quite complicated. apart from the main players who suffered long injuries, the team's performance declined, the egos of several players began to become obstacles to the series of problems that occurred at United which Ten Hag had to fix.
but now, Martinez has returned, Luke Shaw, Casemiro and Eriksen. and, Antony began to be given confidence again by the coach. it could be said that Erik Ten Hag's team is almost completely reliable again. even though Mason Mount is still injured. But, he is scheduled to return soon this February. so does T Maciala. thus, I am sure that Marcus Rashford's performance will improve again and play well again. well, now Erik Ten Hag's core team can almost be relied on again. and I am quite sure, United will start to appear with a performance that leads to improvement including Marcus Rashford.

Dortmund is this season couldn't have a good performance like they had in the last season and they lost many points. Even Dortmund is far from the top of the table in the Bundesliga and they are not racing with Leverkusen or Bayern Munich for the title which means it is not as strong as the last season, But PSV is in a better situation and that's why I think PSV got much more chance to win the match and beat Dortmund.

Yeah PSV is in a better situation, even Peter Bosz's squad is currently at the top of the Eredivisie competition standings. but it is not an easy matter for them to beat Dortmund in the round of 16 meeting. The reason is, PSV also experienced problems when playing their match in the Group B phase of the Champions League. of 6 matches, two wins, 3 draws and one loss. In the group B phase, PSV had a little difficulty when playing the matches against Lens and Sevilla. IMO, for me, PSV's only advantage against Dortmund is playing at home in the first leg. That's why, currently the bookies are favoring the home team over Borussia Dortmund.

On the other hand, Dortmund experienced a decline in performance, especially at the start of this season. Even though Dortmund is in 4th place in the Bundesliga, Terzic has to work hard so that his team can get three points even with an ugly win. It's just that Dortmund is a team whose performance is quite difficult to predict. Plus, Dortmund's problem is with pure strikers who have difficulty completing their tasks as goal scorers. That's why, this season, Dortmund is having difficulty improving its performance. However, in fact, Dortmund was able to become first place in the Group F phase even though they had to work hard to occupy it. in fact, they are capable of doing so. in the last 3 matches in their Domestic League, Dortmund's performance is quite impressive even though their opponents are mediocre teams. especially in the two matches Fullkrug started to contribute in terms of scoring goals. especially in the match against Bochum. The pattern that Terzic applies to his team is quite effective. Niclas Fullkrug scores his first hat trick. 4-2-2-2, looks like it will be Terzic's mainstay pattern in the middle of this season. by pairing Fullkrug and Moukoko on the front lines. Well, we'll see when these two teams meet. Plus, I'm still following Dormund's development pattern, especially the pattern that Terzic will apply in every match.

Barcelona is shaky in performance, losing 5-3 to Villareal at Camp Nou, they're no longer the formidable Barcelona we all know, they're consider to be another average club in La Liga this season. Barcelona recently performance is sending an indirect message to their opponents in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. If Barcelona are unable to keep proper track record of winning, that means they have a whole lot of problems solved and this is certainly a big challenge that will continue to grow if Xavi Hernandez doesn't strive harder to resolved them.

Actually, Barcelona didn't play badly overall, in fact they controlled the game. Barcelona's front line played quite well, in fact they had a lot of chances. The problem is, Barcelona's defense line is a mess, whether it's Hector Fort, Araujo, as well as Barcelona's defensive line substitutes. I have often said that Bacelona's defense is really very fragile. In particular, it is natural that their young players in the back line cannot be relied on. but the problem is also with their defensive players who are actually already established. The most inconsistent in almost every match is Araujo. Kounde rarely plays at his best, and neither does Christensen. IMO, and what is more worrying about Barcelona is, Inaki Pena. Barcelona goalkeeper's performance cannot be relied on.

So, Barcelona's problems are more complex than last season. although in reality, Barcelona actually has quite competitive depth. Unfortunately, the decline in performance of several players, whether in the defensive line or other players, has had a big impact on Barcelona's strength. With this defeat, Barcelona is increasingly left behind in the hunt for trophies this season. Unfortunately, several Barcelona players had to sit out for quite a long time. However, the good news is that several players are scheduled to return in the near future. Ter Stegen, Ramphina, Martinez, scheduled to return on February 12. at least, there is something to rely on from young players who are not very experienced. The last 16 of the Champions League still has a time lag. At a minimum, the main goalkeeper is scheduled to recover. so, at least it won't be as bad as Inaki Pena. For La Liga, even though there are still enough matches left. It seems, it will be difficult for Barcelona to defend last season's League title.

A team as big as Liverpool is definitely targeting champions in all the competitions they participate in and the focus I think they will do is do their best in every match in all the tournaments they participate in.
For the EPL it will certainly be difficult and fierce and in fact this always happens every season because the teams in the EPL have sufficient strength so that there is fierce competition at the top of the standings.
And the Europa League is also a prestigious trophy which of course every team will do or use their best strength here to win it.
With Liverpool's current performance and of course the great motivation for them to make this season a farewell to Klopp, of course the percentage of Liverpool being able to win the Europa League is much greater in my opinion.

Let's just see how Liverpool plays their matches in all competitions, and how Jurgen Klopp's squad plays their matches. because the competition is still quite long until the end. whether it's in the European League or the Premier League. plus, two other leagues, namely the FA Cup and EFL Cup. with Liverpool's current performance, plus they are currently at the top of the Domestic League standings. Of course, both the club and Klopp will maximize their team so that they remain on the right track to win trophies, whatever trophies they will win this season. For the EFL Cup trophy, Jurgen Klopp's team is only one step away from winning the trophy by overthrowing Chelsea in the final match. For the Europa League, Liverpool has a fairly high probability of becoming one of the title contenders. In the Premier League, Klopp will maximize his team, especially to keep their distance from Manchester City and Arsenal. Moreover, this season is Klopp's last season with the Red. So, he will bring out all the potential of his players and maximize the strategies he implements. Unfortunately, it's not easy and Klopp and his team have to work hard to make it happen. So, let's just watch how Liverpool play match after match.

Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

~~

This is a common story among many gamblers, you, me, we, have and often experience experiences like this. obviously, this is a problem if the money you use to make a deposit is not the money you should be betting on. unless you have healthy finances and it doesn't interfere with your family's economy and basic needs. If you, I, we are gamblers who are very experienced in gambling. We should be able to solve problems like this ourselves. How to ? This is a simple discussion but quite complicated to implement and carry out. however, at this point you should know that everyone has their own way of solving problems like this. but basically, the essence is the same.

For me, this is related to the way we think, everything comes back to being centered on our mindset and rational working. That's why I say, actually it's not that complicated if we talk about it. but in practice, it is difficult to implement. in short, understanding is the most important part. responsibility, becomes our benchmark in every excessive action. self-control, to stop excessive activity. conscious, is the part that involves the limitations we have. simple isn't it, but quite complicated to implement. but if we involve it as a whole and disciplined, then if you are at a point like this. you already know what you have to do.

I think Leipzig was unlucky because they had to face Real Madrid while Leipzig is not experienced in the Champions League and they don't have superstar players like Real Madrid, Leipzig is a newcomer in this tournament and they can't definitely have any chance against a team like Real Madrid. Maybe that's the safest bet we can have for for Real Madrid because Real Madrid will not lose this match to Leipzig in any situation and Leipzig needs a miracle against Real Madrid otherwise the result is clear.

If we refer to the squad depth of these two teams, it is clear that Madrid will always be the favourite. but I have a different thought, if Leipzig has a chance to give Madrid a fight when playing at the Red Bul Arena, their home ground. I think Marco Rose, as the architect of Leipizig, will provide resistance to Real Madrid in front of his own supporters. sometimes, this team is able to provide fierce resistance to the opposing team. like when Leizpig played against Bayern Munich, it is not uncommon for Munich to have difficulty overthrowing Leipzig at the Red Bul Arena. like when Leizpig played against Manchester City last season, Leipzig was able to match City with a score of 1-1 in the first leg. although as we know, this season the team coached by Marco Rose is a little unstable in its performance. well, even though Madrid is actually in their best performance, they shouldn't underestimate Marco Rose's team. especially, when visiting the Red Bul Arena. The reason is, this team can give surprises, especially when playing at its own headquarters.

On the other hand, it is very likely that Leipzig will not do much when playing their match at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid's headquarters. for me, this is where Madrid will destroy Leipzig. however, if we talk about the first leg, it is possible that Leipzig will be able to match the game of Carlo Ancelotti's team. At least the first match could end in a draw, especially if I refer to betting odds. even though it is still temporary, the odds that the bookie presents do not have a very obvious gap. which means, this match can end unexpectedly. I mean, Madrid could only produce a draw when they visit the Red Bul Arena. so, to be sure, we'll just have to wait for the meeting between these two teams to be held.

The Benzema case has become a hot topic of discussion recently and indeed his desire to leave Al-Ittihad is getting stronger. Even though important people in the Saudi league want to keep him from leaving, Benzema certainly doesn't care and is still chuckling at his stance that he no longer feels at home in this league. There are times when players come and go, but it depends on the individual in dealing with existing problems and the proof is that Ronaldo is doing well at Al-Nassr.

Ivan Rakitic will be on the same team as Yannick Carrasco at Al-Shabab and I think Al-Shabab is aware that they need to bring in more European players so they can compete again with other top teams. A squad overhaul is very good for the Saudi League team and if the depth is not evenly distributed then they will be increasingly left behind by other elite clubs. Maybe that's what the club management thought and finally they added strength to the midfield by bringing in Ivan Rakitic.

Until now, I have not heard confirmation regarding news of his decision regarding Benzema's future. January will end soon, even though there is actually a difference in the time limits for the Saudi Pro League and the European League. however, if Benzema is forced to stay with Al Ittihad, it is very likely that he will not enjoy every match he plays with Al Ittihad. nunless Benzema is ready to return to play with Al Ittihad, then he will not experience pressure that could interfere with his performance.

Talking about Al Shabab, it seems they are starting to prepare to bring in several top European players. as previously reported by Romano, Al Shabab has submitted a proposal to Ivan Rakitić to immediately join the Saudi Pro League team. Reportedly, Rakitić is interested in moving and is discussing contract details to make it happen. in the following hours, Rakitić was not included in Sevilla's squad for tomorrow as he has officially joined Al Shabab. thus, Rakitić has officially become a part of Al Shabab. so, I agree with what you said for Al Shabab. IMO, Al Shabab will gradually overhaul, especially in the next summer. So, for now they are only bringing in players who their team needs.

Have you heard of Klopp's statement about his future? He stated that this was his last season at Liverpool and he was going to leave his job by the end of the season.

Hearing about this must have really hurt Liverpool fans.  Sad  Because Klopp is having his 9th season there. This is quite a long time period similar to its being Simeone's 13th season at Atletico Madrid. Klopp has achieved really great successes with Liverpool. But it looks like he feels himself exhausted from now on. When he leaves I think Liverpool will try their chance with Xabi Alonso who is also doing great at Leverkusen.  Smiley

Even though Klopp's interview revealed that he had run out of energy and wanted to take a break, many did not expect this and therefore wild speculation emerged from the community's assumptions regarding the announcement of Klopp's departure through his official release. despite the fact, this German coach has decided to leave the club at the end of the 2023-24 season. Despite Klopp's statement, Liverpool is doing well this season, even though Klopp didn't actually bring in many expensive players in the last summer transfer window, especially big name ones. however, Klop was able to bring about quite big changes, compared to the previous season. Regardless of what you say in your post, there are many speculations as to why Klopp decided to end his tenure at Liverpool this season. but what is clear, Klopp has announced a statement that this is his last season.

BTW, it would be a special gift if this season Liverpool were able to win various trophies as a farewell to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. plus, the Red supporters. Speaking of Alonso, personally he can be said to be a competent coach and capable of bringing an ordinary team to become solid and strong. Well, Livepool would be ideal if Xabi Alonso would be Jurgen Klopp's successor candidate. The problem is whether Alonso is willing to leave and take charge of Liverpool next summer. this is interesting.

Gladbach is not a very strong team. But this team always performs well against renowned teams. We have seen them beat big teams like Bayern Munich many times in the past. Gladbach players are performing well against Leverkusen in today's match.

In 60 minutes, we still do not see a single goal in this match. There is no doubt that Leverkusen is dominating the match. 73% of the ball Leverkusen's players have possession. A total of 27 shots were made by the boys of Leverkusen. 7 of these were on target. Gladbach played completely defensive today and only tried to ressist Leverkusen's attacks.

We are already familiar with the typical playing patterns of the Gladbach team, especially when Sommer was the goalkeeper last season. this team is often very difficult for the teams above it to beat. or, like the Leveverkusen vs Gladbach match. Basically, Bayern played with quite an impressive performance. Unfortunately, of the 28 total shots, 9 on target, 9 blocked shots, 4 big opportunities, none of them were able to convert into goals. In fact, Leverkusen was very much in control of the match with 75% ball possession. Technically, Leverkusen's game is far from Gladbach's.
However, Gerrado Seoane's team was able to withstand every attack made by the Leverkusen squad. although basically, Gladbach is more dominant in playing defensively with a 5-3-2 pattern. As a result, this match ended in a draw.

BTW, as I often say, there are times when a team that is on fire suddenly experiences difficulties when playing a game to beat the opposing team. and in this match, Leverkusen had difficulty maximizing every opportunity. The absence of several players, especially Victor Bonicafe, had quite an impact on the attack line of Xavi Alonson's squad. Well, Leverkusen will have to settle for sharing points with the opposing team this week. Meanwhile, the difference between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is only 2 points. Next week, Leverkusen looks like they will face a team that is theoretically easy to beat. The following week, the meeting against Bayern Munich will be a crucial match.

Do you really see gambling as more of fun than a means to a financial end?

how much can you put into gambling before it removes the fun aspect of gambling out of it?

The contents of this title are contradictory, but the essence and elements remain the same, IMO. Basically, we all bet with money and for money. however, in reality gambling is not just money which is always the main part. in gambling, we are presented with the features provided by the Casino platform. you only choose what you like, are happy with, you can even explore according to the mood you feel when you want to gamble. in it, there is entertainment that can make you have fun with it. But never forget, that there is a portion of risk that you are ready to accept. either you lose, or you are lucky with your win. as for the points you have bolded, in essence it all depends on your choice. also, how do you define gambling itself. in essence, it is your mind that plays and conceptualizes it. so, you create your own choice of how gambling is for you. what is certain is that everyone has their own perspective on gambling. the question you ask, should be your question too.

For me personally, as fun. however, that doesn't mean I don't like money and want to get it. that's why, gamble in areas that you really understand, especially if you like them. that way, you won't overthink. I mean if you want to achieve financially, all you do is create jobs, do business and so on. because it is more promising. but if you want to have fun, for example I like football. I got it, from the impressions presented. and not only that, I get pleasure from doing research and analysis. For me, this is an art in gambling, if my prediction is correct it is a sign that I am getting a bonus from something fun. If otherwise, what can you do, that's the risk, it's as simple as that. my question is, why do we often complicate it.

Addiction to gambling is not a problem for some gamblers because there are some gamblers who are addicted to gambling, but it doesn't affect the other activities of their life. They take care of their families, wear good clothes, smell nice, meet up with appointments but still cannot control the urge to gamble. It doesn't affect their life because they can afford to gamble and manage the loses they make. So, to these people addiction is not a problem. They are addicts, but because they are successful, their addiction is ignored or excused as it is not a problem.
So I am need to know, is addiction only bad when it is a problem?


In fact, addiction has become something bad.  It's just that each problem depends on each individual. there is nothing better or worse than any addiction, addiction is still addiction. moreover, if addiction has become a problem that has a negative impact on both the addict's life and the environment around him. in the story you tell in this post, the impact of addiction on the person you describe is not a problem or a bad thing. or, something that is a big problem for their personal or family life, it is normal because they have the privilege of a decent life, perhaps healthy finances, smooth and consistent work and business. and fortunately, it didn't disrupt his family's economy. however, we can also see from all aspects what type of addiction the person is suffering from, because the types of gambling problems are divided into several groups.

I have the same story, and this is a true story. One of my close friends, you could say my senior, is very fond of gambling called slot games. that said, I detected that he was in an addiction phase. but he has his own measurements and bankroll in each of his bets. in fact, he has a growing business and he can even earn a lot of income per day. the great thing is, my friend only gambles by budgeting 1% or 0.1% of the profits from the business he runs. in other words, the bankroll he sets is in accordance with his abilities. the point is, he did everything as you said in this thread. but still, that he has been a very active gambler. which means, he is classified as an addict. returning to your question, addiction is still addiction regardless of the scenarios that occur in life, such as in the story of this thread. especially, if the addiction has become a disorder. which means, it is a problem that must be corrected by someone who experiences it.

I thought Indonesia would return home sooner from the Asian Cup event, but luck was still on Indonesia's side, including Palestine, Syria and Jordan.
~~

I don't mean to belittle my own national team, but qualifying for the next phase will be very difficult for Indonesia. tomorrow, Indonesia will play a match against Australia. this match is a Knockout match, only one leg. which means, this match is life and death for Indonesia. for Palestine, Syria and Jordan, I have not followed the development or researched it.
so, I focused more on the Indonesia vs Australia match. referring to the betting market, there is a very significant gap between these two teams. Indonesia with @15.00, while Australia with @1.18. in theory, Australia will win this match easily..referring to asian betting options, Australia is 3 goals ahead with @1.91. what is clear is that this match will be very memorable for Indonesia and Australia. Win or lose, the Garuda squad will do their job hard for the sake of the flag and name of the country they support.

Honestly, I don't expect much from this match. however, as Indonesian supporters, we will fully support our national team in this match. I can confirm that almost the majority of Indonesian people will watch this match on local television. I hope that at least there will be resistance from Indonesia, and that the coach will be able to improve the mentality and performance of the Garuda team even though this match is a very difficult match for them to win. at least with Indonesia qualifying for the round of 16, football in our national team has experienced a slight improvement. and, there are no other words other than I look forward to this match being held.

I'm sure Liverpool fans are very sad, but there may be more news to come after this sad news. Mohamed Salah has been receiving offers from Arab teams for a long time. Maybe after Klopp's plans for the end of the season he might lose his loyalty to Liverpool and, like Klopp, he might say he wants to leave the club. Some events cause chain reactions. I think there will be players who will reconsider their decisions after Klopp's announcement.

It would be a shame if Klopp finally decided to leave Liverpool at the end of this season. I'm sure there are many Red fans who are very sad to hear this news, because after all Kloop has really contributed to Liverpool so far. As for Moh Salah, I don't know much about the rumors and reports. Moreover, as you said, Moh Salah has long received an offer from one of the Saudi Pro League club teams. Maybe, I will need to cross check regarding what you said to Moh Salah.

referring to your assumptions, the opinion or assumption that you said crossed my mind. However, I do not assume that this is an event that causes a chain reaction. maybe there is something else, for example now Klopp is experiencing a situation of incompatibility with the club. or, maybe if Klopp wants to end it, it's time to part ways with Liverpool. plus, bringing Liverpool to win several trophies this season as a complement to his departure. in particular, the Premier League profile. but whatever it is, Klopp is one of my idol coaches even though the team he manages is not my favorite club. I appreciate his work ethic, his ability to manage a team, and his ability to survive the storm when Liverpool slumped last season. He continued to do his job, without blaming the club for not giving him many options to recruit the players he really wanted. well, there's nothing other than I can only appreciate it as highly as possible.

With the performance I see tonight it's most likely Lyon may just get relegated by the end of this season because more losses only means set back and more points away from been able to get out of the relegation but if they were able to win todays game or even get a draw they would have still hope to definitely get out of relegation even if it's just a point above.

Lyon doesn't seem like a team that has got the potential to loose and probably bounce back anytime soon to their form as they should since they are having in mind to exit the temporary relegation on the table. Rennes is now currently at the ninth position on the table with twenty five points having won three games consecutively in their last five game where they lost and drew one each, we expected Lyon tho have shown better performance after have three consecutive wins before this games so they should have had better confidence and a good mentality to winning.

Lyons returned with results that were not satisfactory at all, falling 2-3 to Rennes meaning that his ranking did not move into the safe zone. But I won't speculate too much if they will be degraded this season. After all, they still have at least 18 more matches to play until the end of this season. In this match, Lyon suffered defeat and even Rennes was able to score three goals in the first half. However, Lyon was slowly able to reduce their losses and this match ended with a score of 2-3. Even though they lost, it wasn't too bad because they were at least able to reduce the goal difference. It's true, this had no effect at all on the outcome of this match.

However, Rennes actually has a better performance compared to Lyon, in the last 5 matches in all competitions, Rennes has not lost. So it's natural that Rennes is able to maintain its consistency. Referring to the statistics of the match, basically the two teams were evenly matched from a technical perspective. It's just that because Lyon conceded in the middle of the first half, the intensity of their game was increased and they played quite aggressively. By controlling 63% ball possession, in the end Lyon was able to minimize their defeat.
Now the problem is, how Lyon must find ways and formulas to improve their performance and improve their defense or goalkeeper. The problem is, Lyon is the second team that has conceded the most goals besides Lorient. which means that if Lyon wants to avoid the relegation zone, they still have a chance to do so. After all, Lique 1 still has enough matches left to change. So, can Lyon do a good job in the next matches? if yes, they should be able to return to at least the safe zone.

We are also getting closer to the deadline of winter transfer season, but that's very bad to see how benzema was not even able making a decision as soon as possible. He keeps thinking many times about which club that is going to be his next dstination.
Benzema just need to go to the EPL and everything will be clear. Benzema shall have moved back to the EPL to get a better environment for him to play. It seems like that the salary has become the main problem that was preventing other club to approach him.

It was really bad to see benzema feels so hard on deciding whether he stays or leave from the club. Benzema needs to decide his future before the deadline will be coming soon. I lost my respect to the him.
Ittihad recognized the potential harm to the club's reputation resulting from Benzema's departure, which is why they were willing to let him stay. People will be seeing this club as an inconvenient place to play football in the saudi pro league.

There are many european players now who played in the saudi pro league is willing to exodus to the european competition again. This has become the main problem that needs to be sorted out from SPL.

Rumors about Benzema are increasingly confusing, in fact he has always been linked with several Premier League clubs to date. but so far there is no clarity regarding its future, I even tried to check the tweets of reports reported by Fabrizio Romano. So the last news that Romano reported was that Bemzema would have an intensive meeting with Al Ittihad to confirm his future status. Several media outlets have reported that salary constraints are currently a problem. several other media reports, Benzema is willing to cut his fantastic salary. however, with the high cost of bringing him in, it is likely that Premier League teams will consider it. what is certain is that Al Ittihad will not lend it out at a low cost. Maybe this is also one of the obstacles. towards the end of the transfer closing we will soon find out whether to leave or stay.

So, let's just wait because we will know the answer soon. as for the latest rumor reported by Romano, Ancelotti denied that Benzema would return to Real Madrid.
well, there are no other words other than let's wait until the end of January. In fact the latest news is, Al Ittihad have sent a verbal proposal to Juventus for Matias Soule of around €30 million, as @CLMerlo reports, the meeting took place in Dubai this week. at least, Al Ittihad is not lulled into the problems related to Bemzema. that's why, Al Ittihad is trying to do something this January.

The focus of the Bundesliga have now shifted to this two teams as they strive for the league title. The Bundesliga title has always been won by only one team which is Bayern Munich and once in a while Borussia Dortmund wins it or they get close to winning it. This year’s Bundesliga competition is totally different and Bayern Leverkusen are already threatening a fear to Bayern Munich and they might lose winning it this season. Xabi Alonso have done exceptionally well in his coaching strategy that even the most experienced Thomas Tuchel cannot catch up with his coaching strategy now. The title is still up for grab for any team but the close fight still remains between Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen.

It seems that this season is going to be difficult for Dortmund, especially as they are trying to fix the problems that are occurring within the Dortmund camp itself. now, Dortmund is ranked 5th and what is certain is that Edin Terzic's team will be more focused on finishing in the top four of the Bundesliga. however, I am quite sure that in the end Dortmund will still be able to finish in the top 4 of the Bundesliga standings.

Now, Liverkusen is always a hot topic of conversation in this thread. For me it's natural, after all they really deserve to be appreciated for the work ethic they put in. both in terms of the players, as well as Xabi Alonso who is the architect of Bayer Leverkusen. however, we have different points of view regarding Thuchel and Xabi. It cannot be denied that Alonso is doing a very good job and has been able to bring Leverkusen this far. It's just that, for me, this isn't the real final. In fact, the Bundesliga will still feature long matches until the end of this season. you could say, Tuhcel lost one step to Xavi Alonson. however, in fact, we cannot yet confirm which team will win the Bundesliga title. because, we are well aware that this competition has just presented 18 matches. which means, throughout the match that these two teams will play, they will definitely have their own obstacles. I mean, no one can claim that Leverkusen will be consistent throughout their matches without losing. because ups and downs can happen suddenly to a team, even though their performance can be said to be on fire.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich is also no exception to experiencing defeat for us three times. well, all of that is not impossible to happen. what is certain is that Bayern still has a chance even though they are currently 4 points behind Leverkusen. however, because the Bundesliga match schedule is still long. anything can happen, especially in the competition between these two teams. Let's just follow it, enjoy it as long as this competition still offers interesting matches in the race for the League trophy.
