Zidane said goodbye to the football scene after leaving Real Madrid in 2021. The return of the 51-year-old strategist has been a topic with the media since then. It is still unclear whether Zidane will decide to return to work at the end of this season.
Erik Ten Hag is in charge of the club's manager's role, but the pressure is on, and he could be replaced in the summer. After nearly two seasons at the helm, Ten Hag has still been unable to help the Old Trafford team make clear progress. Of course, Zinedine Zidane is considered the ideal replacement for Ten Hag. And Man United is ready to compete in case Zidane wants to return to the coaching bench. But I believe this is just Sir Jim Ratcliffe's dream. Because Jim Ratcliffe is promising to create a revolution at Man United. Personally, I believe that if Zidane returns, the chair of the coach of the French national team is the chair he wants to sit in. It's difficult for any club to recruit Zidane.
Actually Zinedine Zidane is ideal replacement for Erik ten Has position as Manchester United manager and last season had close rumor  he will be manager for Manchester United, but get difficult with English language make him not interested to be Manchester United manager and Zidane still not active become manager for any other team until right now.
I don't sure any huge dreaming with Manchester United next season because they will keep Erik ten Hag at their position although current performance Manchester United still not promising yet by difficulty return to the top fourth position. I don't believe yet with Manchester United fans dreaming will see Zinedine Zidane become their new manager for next season. Manchester United problem how difficult spending much money for signing many top players, who ever the new manager next season if not get supported from management will be difficult to build a dreaming teams.
Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games. Not just tactics, both player combinations.

 Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections?
He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.
Zinedine Zidane would be a preferable option for them even as they're aimed towards bringing the history making boss to join the team next season.

 Yes, he said he's done with the managerial task with Madrid seasons ago but it won't be harmful either if he opts to play a role in the English team's growth. United themselves know how much of a good impact his presence would bring and so by all means necessary they'd want to bring the tactical boss to their side. At thesame time, watch how much of a positive difference he would make for the team. It'll testifyingly be the best decision they'd ever make though so far. But let's hold on to that whilst watching if they'd be able to make the boss join them.

Sassuolo often give surprises when facing big teams in the league, but for some reason I don't think this will apply when facing Napoli later, currently Sassuolo performance is too bad for us to try to bet money for Sassuolo win and we can see in the last few weeks that even they only achieved 1 draw, 5 defeats from 6 matches and it will probably get worse when they face Napoli, which on paper is certainly still better than Sassuolo at the moment, even though Sassuolo acts as the home team, it doesn't seem like it will have a bigger impact for them and my prediction, the match will end with Napoli winning 1-3.

Changing coaches in a short period of time is of course a gamble for Napoli and it could be said that management dismissal of Garcia and Mazzarri was a form of disappointment from management because of the bad results obtained by the two coaches, many people claimed that the change of coach was in the middle of the season only makes the club unbalanced, but in fact there are also clubs that really recover when the coach is replaced  as happened with Roma, currently Napoli game is starting to be a little different even though haven't given maximum results in their last two matches, but I'm quite confident that Calzona will able to return Napoli performance to a better level in the next few weeks.

Napoli were going through a tough time and this prompted the call up of Mazarri. At his debut game, he did well to win, even though much is expected of him, he just shouldn't be blamed if up until now the team are struggling to be consistent in victories. At least they're not always loosing games. They've got some wins and some losses too. Even when they played away from home to Roma who were a better side too so definitely it'd have been difficult for them to win although a draw wouldn't have been much of a bad result. The Italian side recently haven't had good strides in their league tussles and it's effect is gradually going to be seen.

 They ought to cover up their lapses but they aren't having what it takes. It'll only cost them a lot if care isn't taking to repair these losses. There's no time left and their contests on the league tables are shaky, Mazarri only had to find a way around his team to cushion the drastic effects of their recent performances but since he couldn't they had to get a replacement that'll be able to place them rightly. Well the new coach hasn't really made any big impact but so far, the team's performance have been better, they're even far more competitive and aggressive on the pitch as they used to and kudos to their forward man and the team in general who have been striving to remain at the peak of their performances.

 One would hope that this tempo is maintained till the end of the season because it's only that way that the team would finish at a meaningful spot in the Serie A table. Their forth coming games hopefully will derive a better results for them at the end of the season too but if they can successfully conquer this season to some reasonable extent, it'll be advisable that they work generally on the management aspect of the squad as positive changes would need to be made by next season.
883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 28, 2024, 07:40:19 PM

Bayern Munich have been Bundesliga champions for many years and no one has broken their dominance, even Dortmund last season, who were the favorites to break Bayern Munich's dominance, failed to achieve it and again, Bayern Munich still won the Bundesliga title, and now the presence of Leverkusen provides competition. which is quite fierce against Bayern Munich, they have also performed impressively this season and have not suffered defeat and are increasingly widening the gap with Bayern Munich, making Leverkusen the favorite by many people to be able to break Bayern Munich's dominance. Although it is not yet clear which of the two will win title but if Leverkusen continues to perform consistently then this title can be achieved and they don't make mistakes that cause their position at the top to decline.

It is true that due to a series of unsatisfactory results in the last few matches, many people doubt Bayern Munich's performance. Many people think that the mentality of the Bayern Munich players has declined after being defeated by Leverkusen, thus affecting their future performance, both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, but I I also don't want to see Bayern Munich continue to decline because the competition between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is not going to be interesting. I hope Bayern Munich doesn't just give up and hand over the Bundesliga trophy to Leverkusen and fail to get a single trophy this season.
Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've once had a tough weekend game against Monchengladbach though but still they stood out.

 For Leverkusen, the game against Darmstadt away from home was very much impactful and advantageous to their advancement on the league standings too. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with. This season, there's been a switch in the dominance that occurs in the German league, the professor Xabi is one key threat to Munich who's in time past being the head and leaders of the league.

 Even though last season, there's been a trail behind from Dortmund, comparing all the years, only Leverkusen have been overtime been able to maintain the difference in standings on the contention battle. Tuchel knows that a serious tussle lies ahead and as the season draws to an end, there's greater chance to create growth opportunities too. I'll love to see how the end of the season will look like for the German clubs as it's highly expected that unlike Dortmund, Leverkusen would make the big difference.

However, there are times when all these records can be broken and I think Marseille's advantage in this match is one of them being the host and also having a different strategy than before. The rotation carried out by several players ahead of this match was really matured by coach Jean-Louis Gasset and maybe that is what made Marseille even more mature. It would be a shame if the bettors had to lose money as a result of betting on a draw and maybe next time they can fully expect Marseille with the current coach.

I know that there are no guarantees because a new coach may still find it difficult to find the right adaptation for his squad and maybe this will also be what Marseille will experience in the future. However, if this all persists and Marseille never loses in the last 5 matches in the future then it can be said that coach Jean-Louis Gasset is the right coach for Marseille. The turnover of trainers is very fast when someone leaves and vice versa, those who come also get to know each other very quickly. Honestly, I don't know yet if Marseille have found a replacement for Gattuso and only found out after I found out from various sources yesterday. It's good to see Marseille making the right move.
Betting on some matches is usually risky as you have no other option than to place your bet on what’s been happening at the end of 90 minutes in their previous fixtures. In this fixture, a frequent result has usually been draw and I think so many bettors had to pick that. Well surprisingly, we saw Marseille get all 3 points with their new manager now in charge. To an extent, a lot will say it was kind of expected especially as this is a new coach taking over and so he’ll want to prove a point to the board and the fans to have huge confidence and trust in him.

When you look at the pattern of this mew coach then I think you’ll have some sort of confidence in him and believe he knows what he’s doing. He actually brought rotation in the squad and it’s really been paying off for him as he’s mow maintaining good position and the new introduced players are also performing well up to expectation.Well Marseille had great advantage in this fixture which was playing at home and this is always a big boost for team as they’ve got majority of the fans rolling and cheering them up tp success.

 Talking about the mew coach, I think it’s a step in a positive direction for the club and he should also try to keep up the good work he’s started as they still have an European spot in sight to clinch and if they maintain this level of positivity, then they’ll sure be able to clinch on to this level of success and achieve their goal, which is an European spot for next season.
885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 28, 2024, 04:14:32 PM

Of the four matches before against Atletico Madrid, with which team will Girona lose points? because I actually see the opposite where Girona will get full points in these four matches except when they will face Atletico Madrid, although it is also possible that Girona will beat Atletico.
Three bad results in the last five matches are very detrimental for Girona, especially when the competition is getting tougher but they have failed to maintain their performance.
However, Girona's chances are actually getting slimmer to be able to displace Real Madrid from the top of the standings because Real Madrid is a team that has experience in La Liga, they understand how to perform when the situation is on their side, and I don't remember that they have ever failed to become champions after being ahead on six points.
This is quite convincing from its competitors, because usually failures like this are carried out by teams that are not experienced enough to win La Liga, moreover Real Madrid has a very experienced coach so it seems impossible for Girona to become champions this seasons but their appearance this season has given a different color to the competition in Laliga, making it more interesting.
Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Real Madrid and Barcelona because these teams are also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Barca and Madrid's home. In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first.

 but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out. Even though The second half of the season just got messy for Atletico Madrid. Even after trying all they could to keep the game in their favor or end it with a share of points, the second placed Girona who was also the host had to net in a fourth goal.

 The game was a serious contest, both sides were reselient and all they wanted was a victory. Atletico Madrid came ahead recently to gain back enough confidence after their win against Real Madrid. This is seemingly all they need to push ahead in subsequent games. They still have a few weeks to go and there's kinda  little time to come up on the league table.

If look at the two, they do have almost the same equality in terms of strength performance, but each has advantages that cannot be differentiated.
Brighton is in the Premier League competition with 7th place in the standings and they are used to facing several big, quite strong team such as Manchester City, Arsenal and also Liverpool who are currently in very good condition.
In contrast to Roma, which in the Serie A competition occupies 6th position in the standings and perhaps only faces strong team such as Inter Milan and Juventus, this difference will create an advantage in terms of ease when the two teams compete.
In the first leg, Roma will have home game and this is clearly an opportunity for them to win and have an aggregate advantage, but I sure Brighton will not give up and let Roma win.
Brighton must at least be able to maintain draw and try to win the match in the second leg when the home game is theirs, but I will also have little difficulty in determining who will make it through to the next round.
They each have advantages and disadvantages, perhaps predictions can really be made with more certainty when the first leg match is finished.
In the European contests, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest. Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture. For Roma and Brighton, it'll be risky to say who'd be victorious in the coming European encounter.

 But Between these two teams, Roma have been trying though, they're anticipating the a top spot in the Serie A league race, as well as they've been able to compete real well in their Copa Italia games too and then they're also top contenders for the European cup. Well, the Serie A games that's been played so far will put them in a high victory hungry spot, and when the next European game will be played the weight on them would be a bit lessened as before now, due to their past games where they've had to keep up proper performances, they had to keep resting players at some point and I believe it had an effect on some of their games. Good thing is, they've been able to build up their confidence rightly and they've got to strive to stay ahead in subsequent games.

 So I believe that their game against Brighton won't be so tough for them as one would imagine it to be as they've tried in a very little way to be above their opponent in terms of performance. For Brighton, they've been impactful, currently striving to stay in shape in the Premier League too and so they've got same goal as Roma and therefore if in recent times they've remained at an average performance level, then I doubt that there'd be a negative difference now when the tournament and season is almost rounded up. For me, I'll really love to see the heated game between Roma and Brighton in the UEL soon though and I have a feeling that the game would practically end in a draw at the first leg but it's only best that one of the sides stands out more and secure the 3points ahead.

If the difference in points is a measure of capacity to be champions  of course we cant exclude arsenal from the current championship competition, manchester City has a difference of 1 point from Liverpool and that isn't no different from Arsenal which only has a difference 2 points from liverpool so far.
I think Arsenal just need consistency in their game in the remaining matches and  hope that if Liverpool and Manchester City slip up in at least one of the matches they have, so that will give Arsenal the opportunity to  snatch liverpool and city position in top standing.
Consistent is a problem that often befalls Arsenal when the season ends and Arteta should be able to overcome this now to be able to make Arsenal champions and of course close all doubts from current football fans.

From season to season, Arsenal continues to be able to compete at the top of the standings and even last season Arsenal was quite surprising to many people because since the start of the season they were able to become a team that was quite consistent at the top of the standing, but unfortunately, arsenal collapsed towards the end of the season and in the end had to end  season in the runner up position, so far I see Arsenal performance in the league is quite good and they still have a big chance of becoming champions at the end of the season provided they are able to remain consistent.
The EPL title race this season is having a very sweet format as we’re having 3 clubs on the run for this title and they’ve got similar point. Not just similar points, but also very close Goal Differences and these are factors in determining who wins the league. Well many persons aren’t real considering Arsenal as an option because of how the club slipped during the cause of last season. That’s one major reason why me also have this fear that they might not be able to keep up and maintain standard till around April/May.

 Arsenal have showcased impressive form this season, the consistent performance of Liverpool and Manchester City who have even got a better squad depth when compared to Arsenal’s has raised doubts about Arsenal’s title prospects. The fierce competition of the league and the formidable form of the other contenders contributes so immensely to the uncertainty surrounding Arsenal’s bid for the Premier League title. Arsenal were in a very better position last year but when it got around April, they started losing it till they were overthrown by Manchester City who maintain consistency from February till they got the league.

 Considering this, I think Liverpool are the only challenger to City as you can see how they play poorly in some games and manage to still get maximum 3 points and you can’t see this in Arsenal team. Arsenal have to maintain this winning streak else they’ll be considered as Aston Villa and Tottenham who were one time league contenders some time ago. Consistency is what’s key to success especially in a league like the EPL where we’ve got teams all fighting it out till the very last day.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 28, 2024, 01:51:32 PM

It is true that in the last few seasons there was relatively fierce competition for the Premier League title, but if we look at last season specifically, it felt as if seemed to be more fierce than it actually was. Manchester City makes the impression that they have reserves in the tank which they can dip into if necessary. Arsenal didn't have those reserves and started to tumble towards the end of the season whereas Manchester City just had a winning streak and put the nail in the coffin. Only then did they tie and lose one game at the end because they knew they can afford it.

This leads me to the question which team has the most reserves that they can activate if necessary? Arsenal this time? I feel they are not that well equipped with reserves. Liverpool has reserves because they are playing without so many superstars at the moment and they are all coming back. And Manchester City always have reserves. It is as if it's part of their nature as a team. Just look at Haaland and how the timing is for him to get into peak shape. It look as if they are just getting started.
Well, football gets interesting when the competition between the teams in the league thrives and is always at top level. One league that hasn’t failed to beat any of that expectations is the English Premier League. This league happens to be one very great league that the competition in the league is making us consider these clubs as real top. The competition in this league is usually fierce that you can’t easily decide the league winner so early till maybe around 3-5 Gameweeks to go.

 Last season we saw one very big dramatic turnaround in the form for Manchester City who were able to overcome Arsenal who held on to top of the league for a very long time pnly to fall off at some point due to inhury crisis. Well this kind of situation tells you that the league isn’t a joke as you can even see how different the clubs from these league plays when they participate in Europe. Well this season, we’re having a 3 horse race and it’s seeming like none is ready to give up or slow down anytime soon. We just have about 1-3 points separating these 3 clubs and they’re all having similar goal differences.

 For me, I think I’ll be rooting for Liverpool to win this league even if not fir anything but to help end the full dominance of pep’s Manchester City. Pep is really a genius and you can see how he’s team has been performing since they got all their players back to the team and you can even see a very strong reserve bench for this team. The power and determination of this Manchester City team is a scare to Arsenal who might not be able to hold on for long. For Liverpool, I think with most of her star players out, they still have a chance if these current boys can be able to hold on and maintain the victories till the stars are back. I have high hopes on Liverpool and will sure be banking on them to give Jurgen the best farewell.

We can't judge Barcelona as a mediocre club when they lost Messi because after all Barcelona is a club that has a lot of achievements and even now they are still able to compete in La Liga and the European League, the problems that are happening at Barcelona at the moment can't seem to be linked to Messi because It is indeed the financial factor that caused Barcelona to lose Messi, not the other way around, if Barcelona were not experiencing bad financial problems like now then I am quite sure that Messi would still be with Barcelona and maybe he would even retire at Camp Nou.

I agree with what you said about the solution to improve Barcelona at this time by switching to new ownership then maybe we will be able to see Barcelona rise again, but unfortunately the club owner and management are reluctant to sell Barcelona and prefer to solve their problems by reducing the salaries of players, management and even selling their star players to other clubs to at least cover their financial problems,With this decision from management remaining adamant, of course Barcelona is even more shackled and will only continue to decline for the next few seasons.
Every business has the time it’s thrive and when it goes through some passing times. Now the ability of a business to stay gripped through passing times and come out of it successfully without the business going into extinction is one huge characteristic of a very successful business. This same philosophy can be likened to a football club as there are days where we’ve got the club always in the limelight maybe because of how they real perform or maybe because of a particular player in the team. Now a club having a sweet rhythm might not always happen everytime as they could lose players to contract expiration or the players deciding to try out other challenges or adventure.

 Now this is the case for Barcelona because they’re currently in a big dilemma that started since they didn’t just lost their star man, Messi. Their problem started when they lost most of her big players who have played together for over 5-7 years as replacing these quality was one big challenge. Now the club has now gotten to a big issue which balls down t the club’s finances and we know that finance is needed fir every business to thrive. The departure of these stars have now made us realize that the club was actually overspending to keep these players still at the club.

  However, they’re suffering the consequences for their past actions and sincerely it’s real crazy. Well At this stage, I don’t think they’ll be able to achieve any form of success outside the Spanish League as the European is one big tournament that could swallow them up as they’re not equipped well enough to float in that kind of tournament. Even to an extent, I don’t think they’ll be able to overcome the Spanish League especially as their major opposition Real Madrid is equipped with the right players and also huge finances to get more players. Going forward, Selling this club to a very rich owner who would clear her debt and rebuild  is real an option now and I think this is the best option among the odds.

In the end, Monaco returned to winning ways after being defeated last week by Toulouse at Monaco. in the match against Lens, Monaco was able to beat the hosts with a score of 2-3. now Monaco has shifted the ranking previously occupied by Nice, and Adolf Hutter's squad is only 2 points behind Brest. meanwhile, Lens remains in 6th place in the standings. next week, Monaco will host a match against PSG. and it seems, it will not be an easy match for Adolf Hutter's team even though they are playing at their own headquarters. however, Monaco can go all out in this week's match, because PSG will be more focused on the Champions League match in the second leg at Real Sociedad headquarters. It could be that Enrique will make several rotations of his players to save the energy of his team's squad for later.

If Manaco is able to take advantage of the match against PSG and get full points, Brest's position could be disrupted if they only produce a draw, let alone lose. what is certain is that Adolf Hutter will do his best for his team's squad to bring his team to finish in 2nd place in the Lique 1 standings.
meanwhile, Nice and Brest, I think their ranking will gradually fall. moreover, Lille is currently trying to occupy the ranking occupied by Nice. well, at least the competition in Ligue 1 is quite exciting in the fight for 2nd place to get Champions League tickets.
Monaco claimed a smashing 2-3 victory on the road at RC Lens to claim a much-needed all three points and this keeps them comfortable in their run for a UCL spot. Meanwhile to Lens disadvantage, the loss of points Widen the gap for Lens to be able to catch up and get UCL spot. Now Lens must have to up their game and improve their style of play so as not to let a repetition of this kind of loss occur again. Let’s take a look at how Monaco secured their victory over Lens because I guess that’s the main talking point here.

 In a match full of turning points, Monaco did just enough to prevail, with Takumi Minamino’s outstanding late blast securing the victory in superb style and this kind of victory was one that was fun to watch as every minute of the match had both club fans on their toes and in huge suspense. Minamino made a point and had his name on the mouth of both fans after this match because of the efforts he put up from the first to the last. He was even involved in the penalty that paved way for the club’s second goal. Well the coach was also apt and on point with his selections as they proved to be worthy of the line ups as they all delivered excellently well in their various positions. Going forward, I think they’re now well placed in over throwing Brest who are sitted 2nd.

Brest will have some thrilling fixtures with the likes of Lens and Lillle and not getting maximum points in any of these could see Monaco cruising to 2nd place. I think this win against Lens is a big boost for them as they head to face and host the league leaders PSG. After seeing this performance, I can see they will be able to contain PSG and hold them to a safe draw and this will mount pressure on Brest because Lille aren’t going to take it easy as they’re struggling to overthrow Nice too. Well these kind of competition is what we enjoy and would hope to see it even grow fierce and have them challenge PSG for the championship next season.

Maybe yes or maybe not. the reason is, De zerbi's squad is stronger when his team meets a squad that is one level above him. in the meeting against Roma, currently the betting market is slightly favoring AS Roma. Naturally, the first leg match was held at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome's headquarters. apart from that, in the 7 matches that De Rossi played with his team, AS Roma only experienced 1 defeat, 1 draw and 5 wins. including the match against Torino, which will end soon. Roma lead 3-2, Dybala scored a hat trick in this match.nDe Rossi did one step better with his team squad. now, Roma has the potential to shift the ranking of Atlatala, who will visit Inter Milan's headquarters. if the results are minor, or even lose to Inter. On the other hand, Roma was able to overthrow Monza, De Zerbi's team is getting closer to fourth place in the top four of the Serie A standings. that is, if the scenario is like what I said.

On the other hand, in the Brighton camp, their performance is not that stable in the domestic league. likewise, when competing in the group stage, the match was not as smooth as all the wins. so, it's no different from AS Roma. Roma did lose the match against Inter, but it's natural that De Rossi has only managed a few matches with AS Roma. however, the point is that they were also able to break through the goal of Simone Inzaghi's squad. after all, Inter Milan is in performance with a very positive trend. so, it was natural that Roma lost at that time. on the other hand, I see that Roma has a chance to beat Brighton in the first leg. apart from that, it is strengthened by the odds available for both teams. however, if Roma collapses at their own headquarters, it will be very difficult for De Rossi to achieve an absolute victory when he visits England later.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself.

 They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next game encounter is awaited. Roma are a good side.

 Their manager De Rossi has some kind of ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against teams in the league didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.

Inyer Milan still unstoppable that after succeded to beat Lecce with final scores 4-0 Inter Milan can extended their winning streak besides that Inter Milan now can recognized as the team with the most goals in Serie A this season with 63 goals from 25 matches and i think they more likely will be able to surpassing their records from last season because Inter Milan only able to scores 71 goals from 38 matches last season and their defense also very strong because this season Inter Milan only conceded 12 goals

Tomorrow Inter Milan will fight against tough team Atalanta and i think this could be a hard match for Inter Milan because recently Atalanta progress is very fantastic and from 14 matches in all competitions Atalanta only lost once and Atalanta also can able to gets 11 wins and the latest is Atalanta can able to overcomes Sassuolo with final scores 3-0 so this is the real test for Inter Milan whether they can able to beat Atalanta or not and if i am not mistaken this is postponed match for both teams and if Inter Milan can collect 3 points from this match then they will have 69 points which mean their points gap with Juventus will became to 12 points so i am sure Inter Milan will very focus to this match because if they win it will makes them will be very near to the Scudetto and about the meetings records Inter Milan can able to gets 4 winning streak from Atalanta and these results too makes them as the favourite with odds @1.65 and Atalanta as the underdog
The Italian league seems to get tougher and teams are rapidly growing into high worth, quality and class. The growth is evident and enviable too. This makes for the widespread fun in the league race too. It's not so easy to predict the outcome of the games too. Juventus are good, so is Milan, Napoli and even Frosinone too. Inter Milan too are in good form and these teams are lasting threats. The race for the trophy is tough and all teams are determined and unwavering at their goal.

 The strongest teams of the league are Juventus and Inter and the odds for the trophy for these teams are very very much alike. Inter are faced with the European contest and for Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Well to talk about trophies fo be lifted this season by Juventus, they still have two options to take one or all from. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's still time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season. I just would advise that they focus enough strength on Copa Italia as it seems feasible enough to attain than the Serie A trophy.

Real Madrid is always the Real Madrid we have known for a long time, and that is still the energy that the team possesses to this day. I predicted before the match against Sevilla that it would be extremely difficult for Real Madrid to score goals, and that is precisely what happened; they struggled to score in the first half of the game and only managed to do so after 88 minutes. Sevilla, and particularly Ramos, really meant the match because he hindered Vinicius' ability to play.

Ancelotti's substitution helped Real Madrid win the game. Originally, he was going to start with Adrián Guler, but he changed his mind and decided to start with Luka Modric because he was watching the game closely and thought that Modric's style would be the only way to weaken Sevilla. When Modric entered the game, Sevilla thought he couldn't possibly win the game, and Modric proved to them that he was still the best midfield player of all time.
Real Madrid has even been performing at their best with a stable defense in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get an extra charge to their defense line. Left for me, they're doing just fine with the current defense. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability and most definitely Alphonso Davies would have been a beautiful addition. Well before now, Davies was a prospect but since Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them and also the move didn't really work.

 I believe they have what it takes to get the species of defense they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.Real Madrid's midfield is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Jude Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too.

 They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further. For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still has lots of exploits to do with these boys and the coach is the right man for the job in grooming them into better men for the future Madrid.

De Bruyne's report regarding rumors of being linked with four Saudi Pro League clubs, such as Al Nassr, Al Hilal. A Ittihad and Al-Ahli, are quartets owned and run by public investment funds. but even though the SPL has succeeded in luring the likes of Neymar, Bemzema and Sadio Mane to the country, their business is far from over. Previously, Moh Salah was offered £150 million by Al Ittihad last summer. A new, potentially improved offer is set to test the Red once again at the end of the season, as reported by TeamTalk.

Now referring to several other newspapers, Moh Salah is not the only one targeted by the Saudis. First, the Times lists De Buyne from City and Casemiro from Man United. as the star player that Saudi is targeting. Regarding De Buyne, Football Transfers reports that the Belgian midfielder's decision has been made and will not play. The report claims that De Buyne still has a lot to give to the best club team in the world in Manchester City and hopes to add to the trophies they have so often won. this season, City is determined to defend its Champions League title for both. Although it is reported that City could receive offers of more than £100 million for their midfield talisman, what is clear is that the player does not want to leave the Treble winner. well, it seems like it has been made clear that De Buyne will stay with City and not accept an offer from the Saudi Pro League club. at least, for now. perhaps, once City have a suitable player to replace him, De Buyne could consider leaving the Premier League.

The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism.

 It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used.

 It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to. SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.
895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 27, 2024, 05:30:24 PM

Yesterday I was watching a sports talkshow and one of the presenters said that for Xabi Alonso to be this good with his tactical approaches, he must have been learning everything about the  coaching job when he was still playing professional football and I totally agreed with the presenter's opinion because it's very rare to see a young manager with the same duration of managerial career like Xabi Alonso deliver incredible performances like he's done with Bayer Leverkusen since he took over the managerial position of the club but more precisely what he's achieved with the club so far this season. To think that Xabi Alonso is pushing Bayer Leverkusen with an average squad to the brim of winning the German Bundesliga when we have a team as strong as Bayern Munich in contention tells how good the young Spanish manager is.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced that he's gonna leave the club at the end of the current season and a lot of football managers have been listed as favorites to take over from him which Xabi Alonso happens to be one of those names. Xabi Alonso is regarded as a Liverpool legend because of what he achieved with the club and was one of the best performers when the club came from three goals down to beat AC Milan in the final of the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League competition and now that's he's doing exceptionally well with his Bayer Leverkusen team, I think Liverpool management will do anything within their reach to make sure they bring Xabi Alonso to Anfield next season but the challenge I think they're gonna have is his current club Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't want to let go of the Spaniard
Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. Even though it's not so certain yet as there are still games to determine the victor, there's every possibility that there may be change of hands this season. Definitely they can hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. Comparing Xabi's abiliy based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from.

  It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good Well it'll only be fair and an added advantage to the German club if their hit maker coach stays the next season with them to keep up with the positive differences he's trying impart to the club. He's this season tried all his best and these bests have gained reasonable and quality feedbacks and results too. He can as well be so much proud of his achievements so far just as everyone else is proud of him too. It's not that easy to take a club out of hiding and placing them at the spotlight.
 
 One would expect a lot more from him and the only way by which this expected lot more can be gotten is via his retainment in the team. Well rumours overtime may have that there may be plans for Munich and Liverpool to sign him up to themselves but yes he may try to create another good difference there but it's only fair that he stays at Leverkusen. For one, I do know they won't want to let him out of their hands yet. The players love him, even after this attained height, it's believed that as a tactical coach, he's got better plans up his sleeves to be unveiled in the coming seasons and definitely, he's one man that'll be watched closely in terms of team performance wherever he finds himself.

Well, I am very radical on this issue with the MU, for me they have to change Ten Hag, he already has many opportunities, he has not led the team to win respectable tournaments and competitions, I don't know how he is still there, other coaches still need to be done More than Ten Hag they have Changed him because he is not efficient for their team , so MU since last season would have removed him from the team, now, I think that Mou is one of the best for this team and he would do very well because I would know how to take advantage of everything from Each of these players, and that is something we would see , of course this is my perception of this team, I used to follow the MU a lot in all its aspects but as I said before, they are no longer the red devils , they are no longer that for me, and that is thanks to the failed management of Ten Hag , some people I don't know why they have so much confidence in Ten Hag but Personally it is something that I don't understand.

I know that the MU wanted to sell the team and I don't know if they already lost their love for the team and do things well , I remember when CR7 uncovered the pot and started saying all the things that happened in the club, because it wasn't As they paint it, they have to improve a lot, because they have not been updated, the Facilities are very old and they have practically not put any love into it, so all these things influence, perhaps the players are not so motivated, they have a Bruno Fernandez, a great Garnacho and they still don't come out of the hole, is it disappointing ? Yes, but for two seasons now I have been saying that with GTen Hag things are not going to work anymore.

Well, whoever it is, if it is him, I hope they do it as quickly as possible, because I think they are already reacting.
Well Manchester United have been in a state of shambles and they’ve been in search of a savior. Yes a Savior who would help get the glory days back at this team as their cabinet were now getting old and rusty. They last won a title with Jose Mourinho which was the UEL where he achieved success with over half of the team injured and I feel this is one reason why Jose should be considered an European master class. Well after that the team went into extinction till the arrival of ETH.

 ETH's arrival at Old Trafford was met with mixed reactions across the club fans and football lovers. Some believed he’ll sure succeed while others felt it’ll still be the same old story for the club;  and his time kicked off at the club. He achieved the Carabao Cup in his first season and many applauded him and believed in his project and ideas. The board also trusted him and gave him the amount be requested to recruit players of his  choice to fit into his plan to get the glory days back at the club. Well things now grew from bad to worst and we started seeing the worst of this Manchester United side as we’ve never seen before as he performed so poorly at the start of the season.

 Now 2024 cAlendar year started and he uped his game and the team’s performance too grew stronger and now it was looking all bright till last weekend’s loss to Fulham, which showed us that this team has never improved. With all of these, I think ETH didn’t really do a great deal at this club rather it was just some trial and error methods and saving grace he’s been using to win matches. Letting him go will be one great deAl as Jose is very much on standby to achieve great deeds with these clubs as he’s achieved in time past and can still achieve. So I think the board should consider this and try to watch out.

Manchester City upcoming games are crucial, with their next five matches potentially determining the rest of their season. This is a very difficult challenge, testing their strength against some strong opponents. Dropping points could have a significant impact on their title defence. Brighton might be considered an easy opponent, Liverpool and Arsenal are direct competitors for the title, while the competition with Manchester United cannot be underestimated. Nevertheless, Manchester City have proven to retain their main strengths from last season, and they have the potential to repeat their success.

Similar pressure also applied to Liverpool and Arsenal during this period, and both teams also had ambitions to win trophies. Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, could use that as motivation for his team. Meanwhile Arteta, who has built a deeper squad, is looking to avoid a repeat of dropping points as the season draws to a close. Every team competes to get additional points, I am sure Pep Guardiola has a strategy to overcome this obstacle and wants to repeat last season success.
The EPL always have her own competition and this is one major reason why the league is still considered as the best league in Europe. The competition between the clubs helps the club up their game and this have a positive impact on how they perform im the Elite European Competition, the UCL and UEL. This kind of competition is what’s lacking in most leagues across Europe and that’s why we see clubs from those leagues not always achieving much when ot comes to European football. Healthy competition is what’s needed for football to grow as it breeds joy amongst the fans and also helps financially as you’ll get fans eager to watch their clubs play.

 Manchester City moved up to 2nd place and one point away from Arsenal who sits 3rd and 2 points behind league leaders Liverpool with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend. The win was needed as it was the team’s way of putting more pressure on Liverpool who are the league leaders as they had a weekend off due to their league cup final with Chelsea over the weekend. Arsenal on the other end weren’t left out in the celebratory mood as they got all 3 points against Newcastle brushing them up by 4 goals to 1 at the Emirate Stadium. The win means these 3 teams are in a tight race and are all out to chase for the league and give it their all.

 I feel the main title challenge for City will begin by the weekend where in the next 5 fixtures, they’ll be playing their 2 league chasers and aslo Manchester United and Aston Villa too though Brighton isn’t considered to be one big opponent for City. Well these fixtures will be a big determinant to if City will be able to lift this trophy. The match against Manchester United and Brighton, I think should be easy wins for City judging from how much their players are better compared to these 2 sides. For Liverpool and Arsenal you can’t say same because the determination and pressure in these other sides are really high and the atmosphere looks positive. Well if City should get a loss to either Arsenal or Liverpool then I think they might not be able to challenge for the title. They should fight so hard to at least steal a draw as that could steal keep their hope alive while they wait for a slip from Arsenal and Liverpool due to the pressure.

In the second match, Copenhagen will continue to try to play as well as possible, but they will face obstacles in being able to catch up with the goal difference from the first match because to qualify, Copenhagen must at least score three goals without conceding a single goal and this looks impossible, because if Manchester City did not field several players Mainly because a few days after this Champions League match they had to face a tough match which was quite decisive for the competition for the title in the English Premier League against Liverpool but Manchester City's second tier players still had better quality than Copenhagen as well as the City coach who was rich in strategy as well. This is a factor that City can still win this second match or at least draw, but I predict City will win with a big score without conceding to their opponents later.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will also win convincingly in this second match, the home factor will give them an advantage especially since their opponents are not as strong as them, and Bayern Munich losing to Lazio is surprising but I predict that will not happen Allianz Arena because they will play more aggressively and understand that failing to reach the quarterfinals will make this team even more criticized. Moreover, their opponent is only one goal ahead band Bayern will again show their productivity by scoring more than two goals and keeping their goal from conceding so they can qualify for the quarter-finals.
We’ve reached the 2nd leg of the Round of 16 tie of the UCL and the whole fun and surprises of this competition we’ve started seeing in the forst leg of this tie and will still see more as we begin the 2nd leg phase. The UCL usually holds different surprises as you see a less expected club coming to challenge on the big boys and dumping them out of the competition. The first leg had some very sweet results and also some crazy results that’s now resulted in more topics as we approach the 2nd leg.

 We can see 2 of the top contenders, Manchester City and Real Madrid already having one foot in the last 8 because of the wide win marging achieved in the first leg of the tie. Manchester City having a 3 goals lead in the first leg is something that’s pretty expected and there’s no way Copenhagen will be able to come back from this lead; rather I think they’ll hold their heads up high and try to get a draw and get out of the competition. They’ve really proven a point by qualifying from a group and dumping out Manchester United and Galatasaray that’s really an achievement for this club and it’ll be best to get a draw in this 2nd leg as there’s no hope of them bouncing back.

 PSG are also well placed though they can’t be relied on as they’ve not had some great performance away from home in this year’s UCL right from the group stage. Real Sociedad are their opponents though seen as week but remember it’s the UCL, meanwhile I don’t think Real will be able to do a comeback in this match. Real Madrid against Liepzig is going to be an easy one especially as we could have Jude returning to Madrid side and featuring in this match. Our main focus this week will be on matches like Bayern at the Allianz Arena and what they’ve got to offer. Bayern lost the first leg tie but it was just with a goal; which means more work for them if they want to qualify from this stage. Well I don’t think Bayern will be able to go through as the team morale is real low this season and they’re not performing on optimum frequency like they did last season and previous seasons. So I see this match being very difficult and tempting to predict.

Manchester united was not even leading the game and this shall be evaluated by ten hag. Manchester united was playing so differently after it has been rotated by ten hag caused by rashford was playing as an attacker. The things are going even worst after iwobi was scoring another goal during injury time.
This makes MU has no hope to get at least 1 point when it was playing at home. I can see that how frustrated manchester united against fulham. People were seeing fulham as inferior club but things are changing so fast. Manchester united could not perform even better without hojlund.
Rashford is performing so badly as an attacker and this is also making the situation even worse for the club. I think that if everything can change anytime. Ten hag needs to be aware with the club and he shall not be stupid enough by not signing a new striker.

Manchester united really needs to get a new striker to help the club caused by once hojlund was injury and there was no good striker available to play in the club. It seems ten hag never trust martial anymore to play in the main squad and he prefers to use rashford as a striker which is so crazy.
I think that ten hag shall be nominated as the worst coach ever. He can't even put respect to his players and he was also putting his ego as his top priority. Martial can perform but ten hag refuses him to play against fulham.
This is another setback for manchester united for sure. Im thinking that united will able to perform better compared to the last match as long as ten hag will able to do proper rotation for the squad of manchester united. He needs to learn a lot from the match against fulham.
For United, they've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons ago when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week. Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. United needs a switch and not just any switch but a more reasonable switch that'll understand their condition and think innovatively without sentiments with the goal of team building and growth and implement new methods to combat their opponents. I don't know what the board is waiting for to realize the big error Ten Hag is to the team. The entire team has been infected with his virus and they need to be quarantined and looked after to return back to their usual self again. Sadly it may take a while but we hope it's soon.

 They lost at home to Fulham which is very much embarrassing because for one they're expected to outshine and outnumber their opponent considering the home advantage they had, even though Fulham on their own have been a tough team this season. Well, it's only sad that they experience this height of team leakage and breakage too. They just have to find a permanent solution to their issue. I must say that the issue is a general team predicament and they need to be set back to default mode. They currently are a very much predictable team though in terms of poor performance which is wrong and should be corrected and worked on. They've lost as much authority that they once possessed and gradually it's eating deep into the general area of the club which ought not to be so.

Regardless of what happened in this match, I am actually quite satisfied with what Madrid did even though they only won with a narrow score in today's match.
Indeed, in terms of performance during the 90 minutes of the match there were several opportunities that were wasted in this match which made Madrid a little inconvenient to get 3 points but on the other hand we need to remember that Sevilla is also unpredictable even before they beat Atletico because of their disturbance and defense which is quite good so I still consider it a fairness if in this match Madrid experienced hassles.

On the other hand, we need to realize that in this match Ancelotti applied Madrid's standard scheme last season where previously they always did with 4-3-1-2 but in this match they actually did a 4-3-3 formation which in my opinion was a formation that was rarely done by Madrid this season.
I quite like this scheme even though we missed the game without Jude on the pitch.

So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game. Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors.

 Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable. Their weekend encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw. Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football. Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.
