The fans are surely frustrated with Galatasaray's poor performance against Zalgiris in the first leg. Okan Buruk and the players all must be aware of that already and play according to that in the rematch. Normally Zalgiris shouldn't be able to do anything in the second leg. Galatasaray must have full domination throughout the match home. In addition they will have their newly added players on the pitch as well. I don't know if Icardi would be ready until the squad registration closes.

But still players like Zaha and Bakambu will also be registered. They should be able to destroy their opponent by at least a gap of a few goals.

İstanbul tarihinin en sıcak gününü yaşıyor herhalde.    Sabahtan geceye kadar böyle bir sıcak görmedim ben. Hissedilen sıcaklık uçtu gitti adeta. Dışarı adımınızı attığınız anda yanmaya başlıyorsunuz. 12-16 saatleri arasında çıkılmaması öneriliyor en çok da. İnsanların iş güç varken tabi yapacak bir şeyi de yok mecbur çıkıyorlar. İlerleyen günlerde sıcaklıklar biraz düşecekmiş galiba umarım öyle olur. Yağmur yağsa çok güzel olur aslında da işte. Baraj doluluk oranları da azalacak gitgide.

Manchester United have spent a huge amout of money so far indeed. They did it for even average level players I mean. But they are newly able to pull themselves together thanks to Erik ten Hag. There was some good progress in the previous season. However the expectation will be bigger this season. A title challenge will be expected. Mount and Onana are the only transfers so far. In addition to that they will most probably sign a striker as well. For now it is likely to be Hojlund.

After all these transfers they need to be able to fight for a bigger cause in the EPL. It isn't impossible to bring back their old days even if it is tough on one hand.

Ronaldo believes in the same thing as well. He believes the Saudi Arabian league will get past the Turkish Super League and Eredivisie in the rankings in the near future. After that it will continue to get near become one of the most prestigious leagues. However I don't know about this yet. Because I think there is still something serious missing in this puzzle. Saudi Arabian teams still can't be a part of European tournaments such as the Champions League. I believe this is definitely important for a league to be more prestigious.

Of course I know the player quality is also increasing day by day. But I don't believe this is enough by itself. On the other hand there is a probability of UEFA to accept Saudi Arabian teams for their tournaments in the future. If this happens then the biggest obstacle ahead will be gone.

Galatasaray'ın bu maçı normalde havada karada yenmesi lazımdı. Tamam belki Zaha, Icardi, Bakambu gibi oyuncular bu maçta yoktu ama yine rakibine göre çok daha sağlam bir kadro ile sahadaydı. Özellikle Zaniolo'nun gol veya goller bulmasını beklerken önemli fırsatlar harcadı. Rakip savunması çok zayıftı ve ikili mücadelelerde pek bir şey yapamıyorlardı. Buna rağmen bu kadar zorlanmak akıl alır gibi değil. Net 2 pozisyon verdikten sonra zaten Zalgiris'in gol atacağını hissetmiştim. Neyse ki Galatasaray maçı çevirebildi. 2-2 bitmiş olsa da sıkıntı yok bence. İstanbul'da bir zahmet rahat bir galibiyet alınsın yani.

In terms of a challenge for winning the race it was boring. Verstappen didn't have any difficulty as usual. However if we assess the race from a wider aspect I can't say it was boring as well. There was some really good competition among the drivers behind. Especially the competition for finishing on the podium was worth watching to me. Perez's climb deserved a big appreciation. Hamilton's high effort in the last times of the race wasn't enough to push Perez out of the podium.

This week we are going to Belgium. Spa track has always been one of the special tracks for me. Now we will have a sprint race as an addition to this race week as well.

Napoli don't need to make big changes to their squad. Filling the places of the players who have left will be enough for them to be competitive for the Serie A title once again. For example they have lost a very important member in the defense line. Kim Min-jae has signed for Bayern Munich officially as you know.

They had better shift their focus to finding another solid and credible defender in his place. Other than that they should do their best to not lose other two crucial players who are Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia. As long as the squad integrity is maintained highly it will all be up to Rudi Garcia's creating a strong bond with the team to go for success.

Mbappe must be crazy not to accept that offer coming from Al-Hilal. If the details of that contract offer tied Mbappe for at least a few years there then I would understand him in case he rejects it. In the end it would be too long to stay away from European football at this young age for him. But there isn't even such situation now. He can just play for one year to get the enormous amount of money and right after that he can easily sign for Real Madrid without any obstacle ahead of him.

Al-Hilal just want him in their league to make their fans watch some quality football. I don't think staying at PSG this season is an ideal decision for him.

Tottenham president Levy was told to let go of Kane before the end of this transfer window. I'm so glad to hear about it because Kane has wasted his years there without a title. He also didn't look like he had title ambition very much though. But now things have got more serious on his side as well. He also wants to join Bayern Munich this summer. There have been two offers by Bayern Munich which have been rejected. They are still planning to increase their offer more in the coming days.

Manchester United have also been reported to have revived their interest in Kane but he isn't the priority for now. Meanwhile maybe Bayern Munich can seal the deal and keep them outside this race.

Yılların Twitter'ının sembolünü bu kadar kolay harcaması gerçekten acayip bir olay. Saçma sapan kişisel projeler uğruna platformun temel özelliklerini değiştirmeye çalışıyor. Sonrasında aradığı sonucu bulacağını hiç sanmıyorum. Twitter her zamanki kullandığım halinden çıkıp abuk subuk uygulamaların bir türevine dönüşürse bir daha işim olmaz. Zaten zarar ederken bunu yaptıktan sonraki zarar miktarını hayal bile edemiyorum.

Bence Elon Musk Twitter'ı bir noktadan sonra başkasına devredecek ama o zamana kadar ne kadar değiştirmiş olur onu bilemiyorum.

Manchester United Rashford ile sözleşmesini 2028 yılına kadar uzattı. Bence atılan en mantıklı adımlardan birisi oldu bu. Çünkü geçen sezon takımın bence en iyisiydi. Erik ten Hag yönetiminde adeta kendisini buldu diyebiliriz. PSG dedikoduları çıkmıştı bir ara ve eğer sözleşme uzatmasaydı son sezonuna giriyor olacaktı. Şimdi de Manchester United bir forvet transferi yapma peşinde. Şimdilik Atalanta ile genç yetenek Rasmus Hojlund için görüşmeler sürüyor. Atalanta bonservis bedelini şimdilik oldukça yüksek tutuyor.

@rdbase   Red Bull also are going to use a new sidepod as of this race.



The cooling inlet has also changed and there is a change with the front wing as well. All these upgrades can make Red Bull gain quite much time against their opponents in the Hungarian GP. They are already the fastest by far of course but they aim to keep this dominance at worst of course.



This is the car development teams have made so far. Red Bull are one of the worsts according to that but they are still far ahead of all of them.  

Sadio Mane is really keen on signing for a Saudi Arabian team these days. Because he doesn't see a future for himself at Bayern Munich now as he believes he won't get enough playing time from now on. I can't say that he isn't right because Tuchel doesn't look like he will use him in the starting eleven mostly. He tried him in some matches after he joined on last weeks of the previous season. But Mane wasn't part of starting eleven most of the time. Tuchel's recent words about him are also not that positive either.

It would be the best for Mane to join a Saudi Arabian team to play longer and more importantly make a way higher amount of money than now.  

Real Madrid şimdilik sadece Joselu'yu takıma getirmekle yetindi. Bu transferin yedek kulübesi için yapıldığını düşünüyorum tabi. Joselu öyle büyük maçlarda ve özellikle Şampiyonlar Ligi'nde iş yapabilecek bir oyuncu değil. Bazı La Liga ve Copa del Rey maçlarında falan görürüz onu daha çok. Benzema'nın yerini ise kiminle dolduracakları hala meçhul. Diğer büyük kulüpler harıl harıl forvet transferi peşindeyken Real Madrid'in suskunluğu bana garip geliyor. Mbappe transferi için de zaten Florentino Perez acele etmeyeceklerini söylemişti o yüzden başka birisi ile anlaşma üzerine yoğunlaşmaları lazım.

Lautaro Martinez needed a companion after Lukaku's returning to Chelsea. He has been used to play with a two forward system for a long while. It has become like the version in which he shows his most effective performance. Now they have Marcus Thuram instead of Lukaku. I wonder if he can make at least the same level of impact with Lukaku. Lukaku and Martinez were players who knew how to play well together. Inzaghi was preferring the Dzeko - Martinez duo mostly in the recent times though.

However I don't think Inter will make do with only Thuram signing to the position. They aren't interested in Lukaku anymore so someone else should be brought there soon.

It is said that Galatasaray have signed Cedric Bakambu and he was supposed to arrive in Istanbul today. But interestingly Transfermarkt says that Al-Nassr signed him on a free transfer at the beginning of this month. I didn't understand why he would join Galatasaray not even after a month going there. Anyway if that's true then Galatasaray would be in a better situation before the Zalgiris matchup as they have had only Halil in the centre-forward position before.

By the way I heard Paredes continues to reject every offer coming from Galatasaray. Hence they had better look for another defensive midfielder.

Leipzig are also not so differen than Dortmund when it comes to vision. Otherwise as you said Leipzig are normally a rich team that can be quite convincing to sign better names by offering more money. It won't be easy to compete with Bayern Munich regularly anyway of course. Because it will take them a quite much time to build as good squad as Bayern Munich's. Besides there will be some time needed to have full chemistry among the players as well. Besides it doesn't end there either.

Management of a team is the most important thing for successes. If the owners don't have a good understanding of management then it is still quite difficult to achieve big things.

While Lens are about to compete in the Champions League group stage they have lost one of their most critical players who is Openda. If Leipzig weren't a part of the Champions League then maybe their job would be easier to keep him. But as the conditions are equal of course I understand why Openda wanted to sign for Leipzig. Lens haven't been a consistent team to be competitive for the Ligue 1 title for some time and make it to the Champions League as well.

But Leipzig are one of the most consistent teams in the Bundesliga. They have a way more promising squad as well. I started to think Openda did the right thing for himself.

Galatasaray her ne kadar hazırlık maçında yenilmiş olsa da ben de resmi bir maç ile aynı kefeye koyamam. Bunlar sadece ısınma maçları ve maç kondisyonunu artırmayı amaçlıyor. Zalgiris ile oynayacakları eleme maçına bir haftadan az bir süre kaldı. Ben Icardi o zamana kadar gelmemiş olsa bile Galatasaray'ın hem dışarda hem içerde galibiyet alarak turlamasını bekliyorum. Bunun olması durumunda Icardi de umarım bir sonraki turdan önce takım için imzayı atıp gelebilir. Icardi'nin eşinin sağlık sorunu ne kadar hızlı düzelirse Galatasaray için o kadar iyi.

Inter don't prefer Lukaku anymore because they are out of the talks after hearing about Juventus' negotiating for Lukaku as well. Inter are really frustrated about this situation as they believe Lukaku betrayed them by being in talks with Juventus on one hand. I can't say that they aren't right about that either. Because we have seen the news so many times that Lukaku's first option was Inter no matter what. He even rejected big offers from Saudi teams. It is disappointing as a result.

Balogun is very young and not known as much as Morata indeed. I don't know, if they are in search of an experienced striker then they should go with Morata instead.
