antonio conte has agreed to train AC Milan from the start of next season. whether Ac milan under the control of antonio conte can become a strong team. if only to win the Italian league I think antonio conte can, what's more if given a transfer budget with enough money conte can build AC milan into a strong team in the Italian league.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13022521/Antonio-Conte-AC-Milan-Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-Spurs.html

Let's say bye for pioli. This guy is a garbage coach and he must be kicked out from the club and im feeling so happy with this news. Thanks god. My wish is coming true now. Pioli was not capable enough to handle the club to perform better. He has been so wasteful and can't maximize any opportunities.
Im only wondering if this is the main reason conte was rejecting napoli. It seemed to me that if conte was not seeing napoli as a good team that shall be coached and the agreement with acmilan has proven it if conte was only willing to coach the big club.
There may be several reasons to be his consideration but im so happy with this news. Finally, he is back again to the serie a even though he was not coaching the old lady.

To be honest, I rarely follow the development of teams from Serie A. So, I only have a little information regarding Serie A. Talking about Stefano Pioli, this Italian coach, from my point of view, has not changed in terms of his game. I mean, strategy, system and so on. IMO, this coach is more likely to apply pragmatic football. There are not many tactics and strategies that he applies, let alone an effective system for his team. that's why Milan was eliminated in the Champions League. as in last season, there is no change in what Pioli implements. So, it's time for him to be replaced by another coach, namely Antonio Conte.

Talking about Conte, several news sources that I read reported the same news or rumors, that Conte was reported to have agreed to the proposal given by the owner of the Red Bird club. the content is the same, Conte will later take over the club from Pioli next summer and prepare to bring Milan back to life. This is certainly a signal of danger for Milan's two eternal rivals, namely Inter and Juventus. If this rumor is true, at least Antonio Conte is more worthy than Pioli to handle AC Milan. I don't mean to underestimate Pioli, but the system he introduced is no longer effective and it has been proven that Milan declined last season. this season, they failed in the Champions League group stage. Even though Milan is currently in 3rd place, they are 8 points adrift of rival Inter Milan. Moreover, Inter has one match postponed. which means, Inter can widen the points gap from Milan. So, let's just follow further developments. But if I had to choose these two coaches, of course Antonio Conte is more suitable to handle AC Milan. Ppl

The first goal from a Roque who in fact is currently a hope for young players to develop further is actually very good in my opinion because in the condition of Lewandowski who is still struggling in finishing at least there is a new aura from Roque that can be an option even though his appearance is still very lacking for a club like Barcelona.

Even though this is a narrow victory for Barcelona at least they can get 3 points in this match even though their problems are still not able to be overcome by Xavi where so many opportunities are wasted even if you look at the statistics of 16 shots only 4 on target it is really bad for a club like Barcelona especially they play against 10 players from Osasuna.
Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

I can't say yet if Roque is a supersub player, because his performance in 4 matches has not been satisfactory at all. however, it is very natural that this young player from Brazil still needs adaptation and he has not been given the opportunity to play more minutes. but in this match, after replacing Fermin Lopez, one minute later Vitor Roque was able to prove that he also deserved to be given playing time by scoring a goal which also became the only goal for Barcelona's victory. It seems that this young player from Brazil will be given more minutes of playing time. moreover, if Ferran Torres has to be absent due to injury. I'm sure that slowly Roque will show his skill in his game, because he just needs time to adapt.

Yeah, we agree, even though the victory was narrow and Barcelona had to work hard to win this match. but with this victory, it could be the start of Barcelona performing as it should. As for Lewandowski, unfortunately his goal was disallowed for offside. Plus, his consistency is starting to wane in terms of scoring goals. maybe with a combination of Roque, Lamine Yamal, and also Joao Felix. can solve problems on Barcelona's front line in terms of goal scoring productivity. In the next matches, especially against mid-table teams, Barcelona should be able to take advantage of the momentum to improve the quality of their play ahead of the Champions League last 16 match against Napoli.

Next week will be difficult for Brest because they will play against Nice. Nice is a team that puts up a great fight. It will be a very difficult match for Brest. Maybe they will draw, so both teams will leave the field with equal points, I don't know. They won a draw against PSG in the last match. Maybe they can make a surprise against Nice, who knows? It is certain that there will be exciting matches.

Brest is favored by bookies over Nice in the match between these two teams. but it's natural, because this match will be held at Brest's home ground. In this match, the home team will target to get full points and at the same time shift Nice's position if Brest is able to win the match against Nice. But of course it won't be easy, because Nice doesn't want to just lose. Moreover, these two teams have a difference of three points. what is certain is that Nice has a strong defense, and they will be more focused on counterattacks. So, the home team should not underestimate Nice even though they are the favorite team to win the match between these two teams. It could be that this match will end in a draw as you say. or, a narrow win for either team between Brest or Nice.

By the way, I'm not sure this match won't bring any surprises, in fact my estimate for the time being is that this match won't produce many goals. However, it is very likely that the home team will dominate the match. If you had to bet on this match, maybe the Under option could be an option or both teams to score. according to the scenario, the match will end 1-1. But let's just wait, because this match will be held in the next three days. At least we can research it and analyze it further if we want to involve betting on the match between these two teams.

Mikel Arteta's squad has developed rapidly since last season.
Their financial resources have allowed them to buy the best players at the highest level.
Arsenal are more mature and solid now, but Arsenal have still conceded a silly goal. That has to stop.
Porto themselves are used to playing in this competition because they play in the Champions League every year and are known as a team that can often spring a surprise in the Champions League.
And yeah, this game will be very competitive, and all the fans will enjoy every moment.
From what has been seen this season, it is true that Arsenal is more solid than last season in terms of strength, but I also agree with what you say that Arsenal must be able to handle conceding ridiculous goals in every important match. And in the Champions League, all rounds must always be considered important by any team if they still have the desire to get the Champions League trophy this season so that the match is quite likely to be very competitive.

Please explain, I don't understand what kind of ridiculous conceding you mean. In the Premier League, Arsenal conceded 21 in their 22 matches. Meanwhile, City conceded 23 of their 21 matches. in the Champions League, City conceded 7 goals. Meanwhile, Arsenal only conceded 4 goals. I know that in some cases Arsenal is not performing as well as usual. However, in some cases, Arsenal's defenders sometimes make mistakes, including David Raya, who made blunders in several matches. after all, sometimes Arteta rotates his players and plays second-string players. or, because of injuries to several of their defense players. So for me, the problem of conceding goals depends on how we look at the situation and conditions.

Talking about the match against Porto, so far I can't speculate too far. I enjoy their matches more in the Domestic League first. However, if we refer to the betting market, for the time being, Arsenal is superior even though the first leg match will be held at home to Porto. Arsenal with @1.84, while Porto with odds @4.20. At the very least, Arsenal has a chance to beat Porto if we refer to the betting odds options. although in reality, the result will be determined when the match is held later. Let's just wait for this competition to start, that way we can watch the real match.

AS roma europa league champion is a joke. as roma is not yet a strong team, from the squad of players even though it is quite strong but it cannot be the strongest candidate for champion in the europa league. and the coach daniel de rosi is also inexperienced, experience has only just coached a small team and it was relegated to serie C, although at the beginning of training AS roma was able to win 2 wins, but even that was against weak teams salernitana and verona.

What is certain is that we don't know whether AS Roma will be able to perform well under the guidance of De Rossi in the matches they will play in various competitions. however, he was at least able to raise Roma's ranking to 5th place in the Serie A standings. even though in reality, the teams he was opposing were Verona and Salernitana, teams whose performance could be said to be in disarray. but at least, for a coach who doesn't have much experience, this is a plus for him. so, De Rossi just needs to improve the quality of his team and explore his abilities with AS Roma.

But if we talk about AS Roma winning the European League, it seems that is too much. the reason is, the play-off match against Feyenoord has not yet been held. We cannot yet measure AS Roma's abilities in their two matches in their Domestic League. moreover, the team they beat is a team that is in an unsafe zone in the Serie A standings. So, ideally, we should just monitor how AS Roma develops for the matches they will play. especially ahead of the playoff match against Feyenoord, AS Roma will first play their match against Inter Milan in their Domestic League. Well, after that, Roma will visit Feyenoord's home ground. these two matches were quite tough matches for De Rossi. What is certain is that he will be tested when his team plays matches against Inter and Feyenoord. We'll see if this inexperienced coach is able to carry his team smoothly. yeah, who knows, in football it's unique.

So it's like this Dude, basically we can't forbid someone from making their posts according to what they want.  especially, related to the defeat he suffered. Several members of the community want to share their complaints, or some experiences related to their problems. and in fact, there is nothing wrong with all that. most importantly, no rules were violated. conversely, so do the people who post their wins. All of this is their right, although it is not uncommon for some to want to show off and many also share their experiences with their wins. We here, on the gambling discussion board, can discuss anything, especially gambling. there are those who complain, there are those who are happy with their winnings, there are those who share tips, there are those who want to get rid of their addiction and many other things. What is certain is that you cannot forbid someone from doing what they want, especially if it does not violate existing regulations.

Including you, who made the post in this thread. Maybe you are a little uncomfortable, with so many people screaming about how their gambling has ruined their lives. but in fact, they still make posts on gambling discussion boards. Well, if there are those who still view gambling as a very dangerous thing as you said. In fact, you will not be able to force our different mindsets regarding gambling. So, it's a normal part of the dynamics that occur especially in our community. Most importantly, you can make threads according to what you want, even more useful. or, you just stop by the thread you like. the rest, ignore. yeah, it's that simple Dude. one more thing, gamble while you enjoy it. stop, if it is no longer interesting and enjoyable.
847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Confusion About Insider Gambling on: January 31, 2024, 07:39:09 PM
Could someone please clarify the concept of insider gambling for me? I came across this term on this website, and it's a bit confusing. According to the information I found

Quote
In football, insider trading could involve a player, coach, or other official using confidential information, such as team news, injuries, or other details about the match, to place bets on the outcome of the game. This could potentially give them an unfair advantage and compromise the integrity of the game.

Aren't team news, injuries, and other match details usually openly available on the internet and through sports bookies for gamblers to use when placing bets?. Also, do these officials typically place their bets through sports bookies or among themselves?

So like this, I will take the example of Bayern Munich when it was still handled by Nagelsmann. If I'm not mistaken, in that season Munich played an away match against Leverkusen. according to rumors circulating, Nagelsmann said that there was an insider who leaked their strategy when facing the match against Leverkusen. in the end, Bayern lost with a score of 2-1. and if this is true, it is clear that actions like this really violate the rules of a team, club, and could even be called selling information.
Let's flashback first, the situation at that time was that the relationship between Nagelamsnn and several players plus Munich officials was not harmonious.

Well, apart from that, things like this can be a reference for your question. There are also many other examples, if we expand further, the quote you posted could be linked to misuse by parties who deliberately leak confidential information. for example, the club informs the media crew that its main players or pure strikers are not playing because they still have to make some recovery. But in reality, this strategy could be a ploy to get the opposing team to change its patterns and systems. but because information leaks out, or insiders sell information to opposing teams. At least, the opposing team can anticipate in advance the tactics they will use and implement later.

Well, regarding the last point you said. in fact, team news and player injuries, which we can get on the internet, do not guarantee 100% validity. That's why, we need careful research and analysis if we want to involve betting. well, something like that in my opinion. If what I said is wrong, please correct it.
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 31, 2024, 07:15:11 PM
Leverkusen still remains unbeaten across Europe in every of the leagues they are participating currently.theynare currently one of the favorite to win the league title this season, the competition in the bundesliga for the title this season currently seem to lay between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich current performance shows that they are very likely to get back to the top of the table and possibly win the bundesliga title again this season but then let's hope that Alonso isn't going to let this opportunity of becoming the champions this season get pass him but will make sure to utilize every good strategy and form to get the title this season, they have gone past the mid season already which means they have just few weeks to maintain their position at the top because that's the only advantage the can get over Munich as Munich is ahead of Leverkusen by goals so if the both end with same points Munich is definitely going to be the winners.

The distance between Bayern and Leverkusen is only a very small point difference, while this competition still has enough matches left until the end of the competition. At a minimum, there are approximately 15 more matches for all teams, both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. what is certain is that the fierce competition has just begun. 2 points difference, not a problem for Bayern Munich with the remaining 15 matches they have. The potential to overtake the top position in the standings could happen this week or the following weeks. Before playing the match in the last 16 of the Champions League, I'm sure Tuchel is targeting the matches they will go through by winning. At its peak, ahead of the Lazio match, Bayern will visit Leverkusen's home BayArena. This match is special because it can determine which team will occupy the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, even temporarily. even then, if Munich wins the match against Gladbach.

On the other hand, so far Leverkusen has never lost. but after two matches, Leverkusen was lucky to win the match. In the match against Augsburg, Palacios was ultimately able to bring Leverkusen to win the match with a goal scored in the final minutes, namely 90+4. In the Leipzig match, the situation was again the same as when playing against Augsburg. in the 90+1 minute, Piero Hincapie managed to score a goal which ultimately gave them a 2-3 lead. match against Gladbach, no goals were scored. yeah, even though Leverkusen have never tasted defeat this whole season. however, the absence of Victor Bonicae and Palacios had quite an impact on goal scoring productivity. Let's just say, if this week both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich win the match. So, meeting next week. be a big challenge for Leverkusen. It could be the start of defeat for Xabi Alonso's squad when they host Bayern Munich. well, this is just a scenario. Let's just wait and see, the matches that will be presented in the Bundesliga.

Japan is likely to be the favourite to win the title at this AFC Asian Cup. Because I'm always amazed at how effortlessly they play when they face their opponents.

Currently the ongoing Bahrain vs Japan match also has a score of 0-2 in favour of Japan. And Japan could increase the advantage in this match. Because Bahrain looks very difficult to return goals against Japan. And on the contrary Japan played very comfortably and so disciplined. I think Japan can score 1 more goal in this second half.

It is very natural that Japan is the favorite team in the Asian Cup, because they are the ones who have won the most trophies in this championship. As for the match between Bahrain vs Japan, these two teams actually have quite a big difference based on the FIFA rankings. So, it is not surprising that Japan was able to overthrow Bahrain. By the way, almost the entire Japanese squad that competed against Bahrain played in the European league. only one player plays in the Japanese league, namely Seiya Maikuma.

Meanwhile, for Bahrain, it seems that the national team squad is dominated by local players and competes in the Middle East League. So in terms of player depth, Japan is more competitive than the other teams competing in this championship.
Talking about the course of the match, Japan should be able to create more than 3 goal opportunities. Unfortunately, they couldn't convert several opportunities into additional goals. technically and in terms of playing ability, Japan is above the level of the Bahrain national team. well, Japan has the right to advance to the next round.

As for the other match between Iran vs Syria, currently Iran has a temporary position with a score of 1-0. Based on statistics, Iran dominated the match by far. Let's wait for the results of this match, whether they match my predictions. at least, Iran was ahead 1-0. Only 1 goal left, this match is as I predicted. but with the condition, Iran must win this match with a clean sheet. or at least, for a safe position Iran must score 3 goals. even then, if Syria is able to score 1 goal in this match. the first half is over, we wait for the second half.

I also realize that Barcelona is not in good condition at the moment but I don't think I care about that because yes, the proof is that I still include Barcelona in my parlay bet today. Because yes, of course it is time for Barcelona to recover to get good points in this match. Because if Barcelona still fails to get three points in this match then yes, of course Barcelona's position will continue to be threatened and will out of the top four of the La Liga standings. So yes, to anticipate this, Barcelona must rise up in this home match, especially as Osasuna is only a mediocre team and Barcelona should be able to maximize it.

Talking about the Barcelona vs Osasuna match this morning, I am optimistic that Barcelona will win the match. At least according to my reference prediction, Xavi will play his main players in his defense line. Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Cancelo. It's just that if Araujo returns to underperforming, then that will be an obstacle for Barcelona. One more thing, I really doubt Inaki Pena. So it is possible that if Barcelona's defenders were not solid, Barcelona could have conceded in this match to Osasuna. but at least, Barcelona can rely on their midfielders and front line. Moreover, referring to the H2H meetings between these two teams, Barcelona always dominates the victory over Osasuna. Plus, this match is an opportunity for Xavi to prove that he is still worthy of leading Barcelona even if only until the end of this season. teamwork, coaches and players, will be needed. Having mutual trust in the team will produce positive results.

As for Osasuna, in their last five matches, they won 3 matches, lost 1 and the last match was a draw when they visited Sevilla. referring to the predicted pattern that will be set by Jagoba Arrasate, it looks like he will use a 3-5-2 formation. What is certain is that Osasuna will not just give up on Barcelona even though this match will be held at Camp Nou. Barcelona with odds @1.40, while Osasuna @7.40. On paper, Barcelona has a fairly high chance of overthrowing its opposing team. However, we will see how Lewandowski and his colleagues play against Osasuna. Referring to betting options, I'm a little confused for this match. However, in my estimation, Barcelona will return to winning ways starting in the match against Osasuna.

This is an unbalanced match, Burnley is not an opponent capable of putting high pressure on Manchester City.
Of course, Manchester City is quite the favorite to win the match and I'm sure no one doubts that because in terms of quality these two teams have very significant differences and also Manchester City is struggling in the top competition with Liverpool so they certainly won't make mistakes that result in failed to get full points in every match they played.


It doesn't matter whether this match is balanced or not, what is certain is that Pep will aim for full points in this match in order to take over the position occupied by Arsenal in 2nd place. although it is doubtful that Erling Haalaand, Akanji will be able to appear in this match. even if Pep plays him, it is very likely that he will start from the bench. like De Bruyne, he will also start from the bench. so, it is very likely that the pattern that Pep will apply to his squad is 4-2-3-1. while Burnley is predicted to use a 4-4-2 pattern. which means, they will try to play defense. referring to the betting exchange, there is no ideal option for me. however, you can be sure that City have a very high probability of winning this match. at a minimum, City will score 2 goals. In essence, Pep is targeting his team to shift Arsenal's position in 2nd place.

In other matches, the match between Liverpool vs Chelsea will be an exciting match. Playing at Anfield, Liverpool is far superior to its rival team Chelsea. although in this match, Klopp could not field his main team squad. but still, the bookie is giving low odds on Liverpool with @1.57. In the Chelsea camp, Poche will maximize his team's ability to be unbeatable by Liverpool. although, this match is an away match for Chelsea. Based on H2H meetings between these two teams, in 7 meetings in all competitions, the match always resulted in a draw. apparently, it seems like these two teams are having a hard time beating each other even though one of them is not performing well. moreover, in this match Liverpool will not play Moh Salah. Poche will take advantage of his team, at least Chelsea will target victory after winning full points in the three previous matches. even though it will be a tough match, especially since Liverpool is in a positive trend. there are not many choices, other than fighting with hard work. Maybe there will be a surprise in this match, and Chelsea odds @5.20. for Chelsea fans, this is very tempting. My estimate, +1 handicap option @1.91 Chelsea. quite challenging, even though there are big risks, we'll just have to wait for the final result of this match.

~~

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.
