It seems like Jose Mourinho is having difficulty building the Roma club to appear competitive and having difficulty building cooperation between fellow players so they can rise froms the downturn they are facing who knows who needs to be improved, maybe it's the players who are not performing optimally or Jose Mourinho who can't make Roma player performing optimally even though we all know that Jose Mourinho is an experienced coach and has several achievements, but it seems that Jose Mourinho is failing in building the Roma club or indeed the strategy that Jose Mourinho has is getting worse and is not enough to maintain the strength of the club.
I think the defeat by Genoa with a score of 4-1 is difficult to accept, on the other hand, Mourinho cannot be completely blamed either. Because if Jose Mourinho charged that he can bring Roma to win the Scudetto trophy at the end of the season, Roma management should be able to provide adequate financial support to recruit players in the transfer market last summer. I have no intention of defending Mourinho, in fact Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus can consistently compete at the top of the standings because they have sufficient squad depth.

If you look back a little, Mourinho almost always had a bad reputation when he entered his third year coaching a club. So currently AS Roma is feeling this way, and the worst consequence that management has to take is perhaps parting ways with the Portuguese coach before the season ends.

Well, the start has definitely been bad. I believe they should have done better. They had shown a lot of promise in the last season. But they were not able to live up to the expectations. Because I think in the last season, they were actually pretty inconsistent. I wouldn't say that the performance from them was below average in the last season. But it was also knocked above average as well.

I also know that Jose Mourinho has a reputation for bringing below-average results in his third season. I hope that is not happening with them right now. I hope they will be able to improve their performance. But let’s be honest if they do not finish in the top four, it is actually going to be bad for them.

Thanks for sharing why you choose to invest in Bitcoin and like you've said, everyone has their own reasons why they choose to invest in Bitcoin, mine isn't necessary about the fast transaction speed, as this point isn't that valid, Bitcoin transaction speed isn't the fastest, and I am not ready to rule it out just for the transaction speed.

Just so you know, many Altcoins have better transaction speed than Bitcoin and that doesn't make the altcoins better than Bitcoin, so I don't want to use transaction speed as a plus reason why anyone should ignore Bitcoin, it's not even a plus.

But if you compare using bitcoin to transfer money across borders compared to bank transfer methods, it is clear that bitcoin is much faster and safer. Altcoins are faster than bitcoin, but to do that they have eliminated decentralization and are completely centralized so they can have faster processing speeds than bitcoin. So it cannot be said that altcoin wins in this case.

Bitcoin is the oy digital currency that starts as a true decentralized coin and stays the same for years, its proven to be a real decentralized coin and that makes it a reliable one for my taste, I don't like living under the power of the government and Bitcoin is the only coin that brought me out of that tight spot already.

This is my one and only reason why I will always have Bitcoin, and the second part is all about the value and money that Bitcoin can bring to your door in the future.
Of course, financially, bitcoin gives us freedom from government control but I don't think that's the top priority. I think its profit is what we prioritize and care about more,  then privacy.

Bitcoin alone can't sustain the market. In order for the market to grow, there should be a demand that will be created, and without altcoins, the success in the long run might be slow.

Do you think Bitcoin will reach its all-time high without altcoins?

Now you are pumping the idea that shitcoins are needed.  Great.

King daddy does not need altcoins, but altcoins need king daddy.  How about we say it like that?  King daddy cannot get rid of altcoins.  Altcoins and a variety of attacks and affinity scams are going to continue to exist, so hopefully you are not getting too distracted into thinking that the mere fact that they are going to exist means that we need to speak nicely about them.  People do a lot of dumb things and people are scammed into shitty, inferior and sometimes completely worthless projects.  I doubt that we want regulations to completely save people from themselves, but surely frequently scammers are already engaging in fraudulent kinds of behaviors, and if they are not then there might be some value in just letting people learn for themselves if they are investing and/or buying inferior and/or worthless pump and dump crap.   

Of course, you are right that Bitcoin does not need altcoins, but what I would like to emphasize is that if we want to witness fast progress in the market, altcoins should be created as they can also create demand. It would result in a vice versa situation where both would benefit each other.

And for the record, I when I say altcoins, I am not referring to shitcoins, because even without shitcoins bull run would still happen, shitcoins are just riding the hype.

The question is, what demand do altcoins create that will help or have a positive impact on bitcoin? Other than being used for speculation, or frankly for gambling, I don't see any use cases from altcoins. Therefore, it cannot be said that Altcoins create demand that drives the market, they only push people who like to get rich quickly to rush into the market to gamble rather than invest.

I think bitcoin reached ATH due to the impact of halving, supply and demand in the market. Altcoins had no role in helping bitcoin reach its all-time high because the entire altcoin market was waiting for bitcoin to grow so they could increase in price.

Comment Your opinion ⬇️

The bad September is over and looking at the history of October every year as you mentioned, we have the right to expect a green month for bitcoin. But don't be too subjective because there is no guarantee that history will continue to repeat itself like what September showed us. Personally, I want bitcoin to recover and the market to become more vibrant so I hope October will be a green month. But I also don't think bitcoin can surpass $30k, maybe bitcoin will fluctuate around the $29k, $30k area.

 Often, everything happens the other way around: people make a profit in the real sector and transfer money to crypto, and it’s good if it’s Bitcoin.

People do this, in part, because they want to use bitcoin as a store of value instead of having to trust and deposit money in 3rd party services like banks. Or many people believe that bitcoin's ability to bring profits will be better than other fields, so people will accumulate profits from traditional fields to invest in bitcoin. I am also someone who is accumulating money outside to invest in bitcoin because honestly, there is no one who doesn't want to get bigger profits. When comparing returns between bitcoin and other businesses or investments, bitcoin clearly has the upper hand. I think that's why someone who knows about bitcoin will focus on bitcoin more than any other field.
866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out Thousands of Bitcoin on: September 28, 2023, 09:27:36 AM
How would you go about cashing out very large sums of Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrency?

A hypothetical example:

You were fortunate to purchase five thousand Bitcoin, when it was only pennies a coin, and it's now worth a whopping $130,000,000. This is now sitting in cold storage in your digital wallet, and you want to cash out 100 million usd.

1) Are Coinbase and Gemini your only convenient options? Will they be able to cash out such a large sum, and send the proceeds to your financial institutions without issues?  

2)
FDIC insurance only covers up to 250k per bank account. So, you would need more than four hundred accounts in order to cover all 100 million dollars. Is there a better way? Can you just send all 100 million directly to your Vanguard brokerage account? How do the ultra-wealthy do it??

3) What would happen if you suddenly sent a hundred million dollars to several banks/financial institutions? Would the IRS be immediately notified? Would your accounts get frozen? How do you avoid this?


No snarky answers, please. The above are only hypothetical examples. I don't own 5000 Bitcoin. Not even remotely close.

To be honest, none of us has ever owned or currently owns such a large amount of money, so answering this question is really not easy. I also agree with everyone's solutions such as splitting the withdrawal amount even though it will take a lot of time, or using a company account...But it's all just our thoughts and none of us have any experience with it. Therefore, it is difficult to know the effectiveness of these solutions.

In my opinion, we should focus on accumulating bitcoins now, and if we have the opportunity to own a large amount of bitcoins in the future, we will definitely have a solution for that.

Diversification is vital, indeed. But lets be clear here. Not all diversifications gives you. Some lead to a diversified portfolio of losses (lol). Yes, putting money in different coins could increase the opportunity. But lets not forget, other coins, despite their low price, they indeed riskier than bitcoin

Bitcoin's price is steep. However, its the most well-known, the one that most altcoins try to mimic the price. You mentioned halving and buying multiple other coins. Its a strategy, sure. But remember, halving events are already priced in, and the market reacts in its unpredictable ways.

Yes, having different income streams is beneficial. Bitcoin investment alongside a business or job? A good play. But diversification is not just about scattering funds. Its about smartly allocating them, understanding each asset's dynamics, and staying vigilant in the constantly shifting financial world.

We keep seeing people tells others to diversify but looking at the currency they are promoting are loads of shitcoins that mostly has no future at all.
they seems not to understand the meaning of safety investing ,  and with that Only can guaranteed with 100% sure of returning the favor though sometimes it may took years to taste.
even how high the price of bitcoin now , but purchasing the value or the amount you can afford to altcoin is the one that will make you a full secured and worth a wait investing.

People who say that investing in altcoins is diversification are people who don't know the meaning of diversification in investing, and they are just repeating what others have said. Everyone knows that the cryptocurrency market depends on bitcoin, if bitcoin falls then no altcoin will be able to rise, so what is diversification in this case?
Furthermore, is diversification really as good as many people are saying? I really don't see any use in it if our goal is to find the best profit. I mean, we all know bitcoin is the best rising asset and if we just invest 50% in them and 50% in gold. That doesn't help us maximize our profits, it only reduces our profits. On the contrary, if we focus 100% on bitcoin, our profits will be maximum. Diversification should only be applied when you have a large amount of capital and want safety over profits, it is not effective for small investors like us.

It should not be judged now whether Luis Enrique is a good coach for PSG. Luis Enrique has proven in the past that he is an experienced enough coach. I have no doubts about Luis Enrique's ability. But PSG's situation is a bit different this season. Their attack is now completely dependent on Mbappe's performance. There is no experienced striker in PSG's squad. I think PSG's gameplay would have been stronger if the attack was stronger. However, PSG management should give Luis Enrique enough time. If Luis Enrique is PSG coach next season, I think he will be able to take PSG team to a unique height.
In terms of his quality and achievements in the past, Enrique is no longer in doubt, yes, in line with what you said, Enrique needs time to bring PSG to the peak of success. Regarding the team dependence on Mbappe, I think that is a very natural thing, just like Messi at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Madrid in the past. If luckily, Mbappe can be fit throughout the season and play all of PSG matches. On the other hand, Enrique has quite good squad depth for this season, although not as good as Mbappe quality.

Enrique is a proven coach he's managed alot of big players in the past, and I believe he'll do same at PSG with Kylian Mbappè, they both need eachothers trust to excel this season and I believe sooner or later the players would be on their best performance, most of them are already understanding the basics and performing well especially Hakimi that's scored in several matches and even scored a free kick game, i won't even be suprised to see Dembele performing very well at PSG cause that what Enrique is good at, bringing out the best in his players.

 PSG would definitely win the league title but I think their main focus this season would be on the Champions League trophy, I won't be very easy to achieve but with the help of Kylian Mbappe they'll try to go far in the tournament maybe get to the semi's or so.

I think we should give the manager a little more time before talking about what he has achieved and what he is going to achieve. I personally think that he is a great coach. He just needs more time with PSG.

A lot of people are actually in doubt about PSG winning the league title. I don't think it is going to be a problem to be honest. After all they have started to improve. I think if a coach like this or even himself was brought in earlier, Mbappé would have definitely settled better with the team. And he would have also done better with the other senior players that he had alongside him, Messi and Neymar. But it is what it is.

PSG is going to play against Clermont Foot in the next match. I have no doubt that they are going to win that match. After all Clermont Foot is in the last position of the table.

Therefore, then at least Bayern Munich will also still have a good chance to be able to beat Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena, of course, as a way of revenge.
Bayern Munich always have good chances to win there games in the german league even its a away match for them.
But teams like Leipzig and others as Leverkusen and many others have the power to beat them at there home games.
So i really hope that Leipzig can win again against Munich at sunday , there are a few players missing at Munich so there is chance for RB.

I'm certainly sure Bayern Munich is going to win against Leipzig. I also think that Harry Kane is going to score in that match. If I'm not wrong he has scored in every match that he has played in the Bundesliga so far. And the form that he is in right now, I don't think that trend is actually going to be broken.


Leipzig may have a chance. This is football, of course, every team has a chance, but Bayern is doing very well and there is an ambition left over from the last match against Leipzig. After losing 3-0, I think they will prepare for this match more ambitiously and do their best to beat them.

I will also say one thing. I don't believe it is going to be a very easy match for Bayern Munich. At least they are not going to win this match with a scoreline like 5-0/7-0 like that. Even though I am pretty certain that in this match Bayern Munich, is going to be the winner, I still believe this match is going to be a close one. Leipzig is a good team and they are also in good form right now.

I have started to see rumours regarding Manchester United and Oblak. It seems like they are interested in bringing him to the team. However I believe this is going to be very difficult for them. He has already a contract until 2028 with the team. He must have signed this contract newly which shows his loyalty to his team.

Besides Atletico Madrid would also not like to lose one of their most valuable players. Oblak is still a great goalkeeper. I don't see any reason for Oblak to choose to join Manchester United now either. Atletico Madrid are in much better condition now.

This will remain a rumor in my opinion. Oblak is doing very fine at Atletico Madrid and he is a keeper that I’m sure Atletico Madrid will not want to sell now for anything. Unless if and only if, Oblak has interest in playing for Manchester United and he has been given a good offer. Come to think of it again, why would Manchester United go for a keeper of that age and add to Onana that is already with them?

I feel it would have been better for them to get a younger goalkeeper than they can groom for many years to come in the club, just like the case of De Gea who have left them now recently. Signing Oblak will cost them a lot seeing that he already signed a new contract with his current club which shows how loyal he is and this will pose a lot of competitive disadvantage to Onana who is already their number one goalkeeper. I just have a strong feeling that this is just a rumor and such will not happen.

The biggest reason why I don't think he is going to go to Manchester United is because right now Manchester United is not performing well at all. And it is a very big rest for any player to go to Manchester United.  because they are not performing well right now they are actually expecting every player that comes into the squad at this moment to perform really well.

We all know that it takes some time for any player to get settled with the new team. Manchester United is not even ready to give that much time to any player. They just want the results as soon as the player enters the squad. So first of all I do not think the player is going to agree to go to Manchester United. Secondly I also do not believe that the team is going to let him go.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 25, 2023, 11:44:47 AM


I think India was also not playing with there full strength in yesterday game. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not playing in yesterday's game. KL Rahul was Indian Captain in place of Rohit Sharma. Both teams are giving rest to there main players to avoid injury ahead of ODI WC. With recent wins its very much clear that India is favourite to lift WC trophy.

Without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, it was certainly a remarkable performance for the Indian team to make such a big score; Key players of both these teams were not involved in the match, but India's performance so well is a moment of concern for all the teams. The Australian players did not have the enthusiasm that the Australian players are known for. The Indian team easily controlled them.

The way the Australian team is playing matches against India is very disappointing, and Australia will have to revise it. Indian team will definitely be favorites to win the World Cup but nothing can be said too early in cricket as there are strong cricket teams apart from Australia who can be expected to do well. For example, there are teams like South Africa, England and New Zealand. That has the potential to cause problems for any good team

I think this shows how well the next gen of India has improved. Once the older gen eventually retires, I think India is not going to have any problems throughout the transition period. And of course India did very well in the last match against Australia. I didn't expect that India is going to win the match so easily. But the performance that India actually put on was incredible and I don't think that anyone will deny India deserving to win the match.

But we can also say that Australia was actually unlucky. The rain interrupted the match at the most inconvenient time for Australia. The track was not best suited for batting after the rain. Son that is one reason for Australia not doing well at all in the match.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 24, 2023, 05:30:32 PM
Today's match was a really big joke, to be honest, with such short boundaries 400 was obviously a very normal total for any good batting side to make but yes Ashwin still made it look as if it's a great turning track. I still almost always think that in pressure situations he can prove to be a better spinner the Kuldeep but I think it's the unorthodox action and being a leg spinner that has always helped Kuldeep. Also now because we have two spin all rounders in form of Jadeja and Axar, Ashwin has really been pulled down in that list of eligible players for the squad of WC.

The match was affected with rain and target was reduced but still Aussies were not able to make it. Boundaries were short for both sides or just for India? Batting first India just destroyed the Aussies pace attack by scoring 399 runs and thats something not easy to chase by any batting side. Good performance from Indian pacers as well as from spinners.

India had given a very big target of 400. Of course, Australia had problems trying to chase that target. Australia was under pressure from the very start of their innings. And because of the DLS method, Australia had to score  317 in 33 overs. That was definitely a task which was difficult for even the best of the best teams. So of course Australia was unable to reach the total.

In the end, India was able to win the match by 99 runs. By winning this match, India has already secured victory in this series against Australia. And let's be honest, India does look to be in one of the best shape right now. They are definitely going to create problems for all the other teams in the World Cup.

Even by using Electrum, there are still ways that could screw your security that up. The reality is that you cannot really just trust anything. It's what the community recommends that makes us trust it. I read what you said about not being connected in the internet at all, but you never know what you'll plug in into your device. I might sound like a real paranoid, but there's just no real 100% security.

Everything has been built by someone through code or hardware. There is no perfect security, just lessening the risk of being hacked.
But that's the best way to hold your coins, there's no other way to increase the security.

At least if you've do everything to make sure your coins are secure e.g. not trust any centralized site, use open source wallet and exchange, limiting your activities, protect your privacy etc, the probability you will lose your coins is near 0%.

Everything in this world is only relative and nothing is absolute, so no matter what methods and best equipment we use, there will be problems that we cannot predict. Yes, there really is no 100% security, but we should take the utmost responsibility with our bitcoins because this is our precious asset and our future. Therefore, it is our duty to use what we consider the best ways to protect our bitcoins. There may be rare incidents but at least we won't regret trying our best. And I think if we are strict about security, I believe rare incidents will happen very rarely.
874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gives the poor an Opportunity. on: September 24, 2023, 01:03:29 AM
Every other investment I know requires you to have a lot of money before you can make a reasonable profit.
You also need to invest heavily into bitcoins if you must make a reasonable profit. But like some other investments, investment in bitcoin allows you to do it in fractions and in amounts you can afford to spare for investment.

So bitcoin actually offers opportunity to the poor to at least be able to have some kind of investment and hope for the future.

Bitcoin is not free nor can it bring wealth to the poor with just a small amount of capital, that was true only for early adopters but today it is no longer true. Those who want to make a reasonable profit also need a reasonable amount of capital, if someone wants to get rich with little capital, shitcoin is what they need, not bitcoin.

But the highlight of bitcoin compared to other assets is that we can invest in parts as you mentioned, which is really necessary for many people, especially low-income people and the poor. They can invest in bitcoin whenever they have money, which is really a big advantage of bitcoin.

To me, bitcoin is for everyone who knows how to seize opportunities, not just for the poor.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 23, 2023, 03:52:26 PM

Stuttgart continue their positive trend very convincingly, and the wins they have achieved are very convincing, especially their striker Sehrou Guirassy who has scored 10 goals in 5 matches with 1 assist too and that is more than Haaland at Manchester City and also Mbappe at PSG, and also Harry Kane at Bayern Munich
I think he will be targeted by several clubs in the winter transfer, and his market price will soon increase in this short time, if he continues to perform consistently he will get the opportunity to play at a bigger club because I think Stuttgart will let him go to make a profit in financial terms, even though his departure from this club will directly affect the team's performance.

Bayern Munich will face Bochum, and there is a big opportunity for Harry Kane to add to his goal collection and win this match to keep his unbeaten record continuing.
It's true that so far Sehrou Guirassy has beaten the statistics of some of Europe's top strikers and I feel he will continue to develop further, especially since he is already quite mature and it's just a matter of how he can maintain his consistency as the key to victory for Stuttgart. It is true that Stuttgart should release Sehrou Guirassy if a big offer comes because the most important thing is to be able to stabilize the club's finances first and then how they can survive in the Bundesliga competition. We know that Stuttgart is not a big team with good finances, so at least they can increase their price like other players to a fantastic figure.

Of course Bayern Munich will win again and take their place from Stuttgart and I think Harry Kane will still continue to be productive considering he is the top scorer candidate for the Bundesliga this season.

A team that had to play in the relegation playoff to stay in the Bundesliga is surely showing good performance. They are currently at the top of the table. In the first place to be exact. Of course, they have played one match more compared to Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen. But it is still a good performance from them.

Although Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen, both are going to have an easy match in their next match. So I don't think they will actually be able to stay at the top of the table for a longer period of time. And of course, I think that Harry Kane is going to score in that match as well.

I am a newbie in bitcoin I want to learn a lot about bitcoin I want to do marketing and trading with bitcoin if any of you are expert or if someone is more skilled please give me some suggestion so that I can do something good and my future is good.  can shine through bitcoin and i can stay away from casino and gambling games and without these two means i can earn money in my life and i can work hard to earn bitcoin everyone.

I don't know what kind of expert you are looking for or need in this matter, because if you just want to know about Bitcoin and learn everything that has to do with Bitcoin, I think you can also find that on several websites that you can use. as your initial reading to find out about Bitcoin. But if you want to get Bitcoin so you can trade within a certain period of time, you only need to provide as much capital as you can and buy it directly on the market or large exchanges that are very well known like Binance.

But it would be better if you first learn about Bitcoin thoroughly by reading more articles on the internet or in this forum so that you are no longer careless when you start trading. Because I'm sure there are many beginners who regret experiencing losses and blame Bitcoin, even though they themselves still don't have more knowledge about Bitcoin. So, as a beginner, you should be better than other beginners in Bitcoin, which means you have to be willing to learn seriously so you can be successful and have more beautiful dreams.

The mindset of most newbies are to always want to make money quickly, so the first thing they do when entering the market is to find experts with the hope of inheriting the secrets to becoming professional quickly or having a way to make money quickly without having to know too much. Very few serious beginners start from zero even though there is a lot of knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency on the internet, but they don't search for it but instead always ask where the experts are. That is also the reason why newbies easily fall into the trap of trading signal groups.

So far there has been no further confirmation from Madrid regarding Bellingham illness. I read on the club official website that Bellingham did not participate in the training session because he had a stomach ache. The good news is that Vinicius Jr and Arda Guler have joined the training session, this is good news for Ancelotti. If Bellingham is really absent, this will really give Ancelotti a headache, because Bellingham has been a key player so far. However, I have a feeling that Bellingham will be able to play in the derby match against Atletico, because the England national team player is not injured but only experienced stomach ache.
Real Madrid actually need to give Jude Bellingham some time to rest because he played too much recently for both Real Madrid and England. He is young and can recover quickly but sometimes they must give him some time that is necessary to recharge energy. The season is long enough and Real Madrid need Jude Bellingham for a long season, not only in a single match or a few weeks. Avoiding injuries to have an important player during a long season is more important and with the latest news about Jude, he deserves to rest a few days.

Quote
So far, Madrid can still win even though they are not supported by a number of important players Thibaut Courtois, Arda Guler, Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr. I predict that the derby match will be won by Los Blancos, even though it is a narrow victory.
Real Madrid actually have better form than Atletico Madrid even they did not have some important players in latest matches. They can continue their good form without Jude Bellingham and I believe Carlo Ancelotti can have good alternative solutions for a squad without Jude.

I actually think that Real Madrid should keep Jude Bellingham on the substitute bench. They should start the match against Atletico Madrid without him. If the situation gets really tough, they can, of course bring him on. But if they can win without him, which I think is possible for them, they should not play Jude Bellingham in that match in my opinion. Because it is true that Jude Billingham is playing really well for them. It is also true that the fans also really love him already. But it is never going to be good for him or even the squad if he cannot stay fit to play.

Anyway, even though I don't think the injury is really serious, I also do not think that they should take this lightly. After all, he is the best player for them at this moment.

Considering how AC Milan dominated in the match with Dortmund and created many opportunities in middle of the week, Verona looks like not to be an opponent that can constrain attacking power of AC Milan. They will even face with bigger pressure from AC Milan as the host actually need three points after some bad matches in Serie A. AC Milan players hopefully learned something from their inaccurate shots in Champions League match with Dortmund.

Playing a Champions League match and a league match are different things. When they play the Champions League, they prepare for that match with full concentration, they care more about that match. Because only 6 matches are played there in the group stage and there is no compensation for the mistakes made. In league matches, there is compensation for mistakes, they play 38 matches throughout the season. Lost points can be compensated.
Since they put in a lot of effort in the CL match, they may come into this match tired, rotate too much, and not be able to focus much. Although Hellas Verona is not a team of Milan's quality, they will play to get points knowing these. Milan needs to pay attention and care about the match. Otherwise, it's difficult for them to win.
I disagree with what you said about the 38 matches with compensation. A team can't rule out competition even with a huge number of matches each season. If they think that, then they will never progress.
It may be true at first glance, but if we look further, it is a mistake that should be avoided. It's also worth remembering that they're in the Champions League because of the competition in the domestic league, in this case Serie A. If they think they are compensating for the mistakes they made in the domestic league with a large number of matches it is a mistake they are making,

@LGD2Business I don’t think they should take this match lightly. I think they should try to get three points from this match. Because Verona is actually not the type of opponent that is at the same level of Milan. They should really look to get maximum results from this match because they need to stay at the top of the table.

And the thing is you know they have lost the last match. So they will try to win this match for sure. I think it is actually Verona who is going to be under pressure in this match.  Verona has not played well in the last two matches. So the confidence is definitely not going to be very good.

Napoli is paying (it annoys me to say I said it, but it's like this) for the wicked choice to change coach
nothing new under the sun, this year they will only catch fish in the face
I would say a more than deserved situation given the shit they did with Spalletti

As far as I know Napoli didn't try to replace or sack Spalletti but what happened was, Spalletti chose to take a break. So yes, with Spalletti choosing to rest like that, then of course even if Napoli try to give Spalletti a new contract with an increased salary at least it won't work either. Unless, that is, Spalletti pushes Napoli for a pay rise and Napoli refuse, then of course it would be a wrong decision and one that he would regret this season. But apart from that, I personally don't have high hopes for Napoli this season, even if Spalletti is still Napoli coach this season but still, I personally believe Napoli will decline this season.

The honest thing is in the last season, the other teams were not consistent enough. And Napoli was able to take advantage of that. They were able to win a lot of matches that they were not supposed to to be honest. This season it is different. This season all the teams are very interested in performing well and also very interested in competing for the league title. That is already bad news for Napoli. And on top of that, they also had a new coach this season. A new coach is always going to be a problem because the players will have to cope with new tactics. They are currently in the sixth position on the table. They will have to improve quickly if they want to successfully defend the title.

Brighton 2-3 AEK Athens

Perhaps Brighton felt bigger after defeating Manchester United over the weekend; they came back from 2 goals down before conceding a late winner to E. Ponce; the bigger problem is that Brighton could not score from open play and relied on 2 penalty kicks; can they survive Europa league ?

For me this is an entertaining game. This is where we can see AEK Athena playing effectively, they never waste the slightest opportunity, even though if you look at the game statistics Brigthon is superior in every way. I just want to say that Brigthon played like he was unlucky, maybe this sentence is true. Because Brigthon played well, but AEK Athena played better. The AEK Athena players attacked Brigthon from the first whistle and did not let up, and their build up was now very effective.
If asked whether Brigthon will stay in the European league? I'm sure they will survive, this is just the beginning. They still have five more games to play, Brigthon is a team with mentality and I am sure they will win more games in the next games.

So let me put this in perspective for some people. Manchester United lost against Brighton 3-1. And then Brighton lost against Athens (some people might not even know that this is a name of a club, to be honest) 3-2. First of all that's how bad Manchester United is right now.

But anyway, let’s talk about that Europa League for now. In this match, the defense of Brighton was really bad. Remember that Athens did not have too many chances in this match. But whenever they were able to go to the final third of the opponent they were able to pose some serious threat. They had only 24% of possession. And they were able to win the match with that. Honestly, congratulations to them.
