As far as I know, Zidane rejected Man United's offer at that time because he wanted to rest until the summer of 2022 and his wife did not want to stay at Man United. The chances of Man United being able to sign Zidane are very small because it seems that Zidane will still stick to his stance.

Apart from Mauricio Pochettino, other coach candidates being targeted by Man United are Erik Ten Hag, Julen Lopetegui, and Luis Enrique.
https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1485525496314187777

The last I heard is that Pochettino might leave PSG, in which case PSG want Zidane to take his place. But Zidane himself wants to lead the French national team. It's hard to predict how the puzzle will play out, but the likelihood of Zidane ending up at United is very slim. I think United's ability to sign a great manager will depend a lot on where they finish. If it is top 4, then it will be a plus.

Yes, I did not delve into this case deeply, but judging by how everything went far, it was not ordinary (already annoying) accusations like METOO, but a real crime with existing evidence. But I would not exaggerate the impact of this event on the team - all United players are already used to constant scandals and hype around them, I do not think that this case will be something special.
This scandal will only concern Greenwood personally, nothing more, and will have a major impact on Man United's performance. The reason, this scandal has often happened to football players. This will only concern his career and will automatically be expelled from the club. I also don't think that this kind of thing will affect other players. There are a lot of scandals out there. I still, remember John Terry Sleeping with Wayne Bridge wife, but the difference is that his career is still not affected.

To be cynical, I (as a United fan) hope that this event will lead to positive changes. I'm sick of United sleeping. It slept while Solskjaer was coach and continues to sleep after the change of coach. Maybe what happened will somehow shake up the team or lead to a change in playing patterns that will finally reveal the potential of the great players that make up United. I don't know, I just don't know what to hope for anymore  Grin Cry

I can’t say that PSG showed a very bad game, everyone played as usual Messi so-so, Mbappe was also without a spark, and Neymar was absent altogether due to the fact that he continues to recover from injury.

PSG is not considered as a weak team. But their performance is totally unpredictable. They have many talented players. But as a team, they are not as strong as we expect. They have the ability to beat any team. Because of in their forward lineup, they have Messi-Neymar-Mbappe, they can destroy any defense. In their defense, there is Ramos. And their goalkeeper Donnarumma is talented enough.

Unfortunately, I saw the news that Benzema's participation in the first match is in doubt, this is a serious plus for PSG. At least if Benzema is absent, it will give them some peace of mind in defense.

If Benzema will not play, then I said that team Real Madrid is in a big trouble. Because Benzema is their main scorer. Yeah, Vinicius play well now. But, the team is still now heavily dependent on Benzema. And Obviously, it is a great opportunity for PSG to win this match.

Most likely, both Benzema and Neymar will be absent, so in this sense we have complete equality. I consider Neymar either the first number at PSG or the second (after Mbappe).
As far as PSG's strength or weakness, that's a tricky question - despite their dominance of Ligue 1 (in terms of results) a lot of their games were unsure where they got results in the final minutes.

As the proverb says: whatever the conversation is about, it is about money  Grin And I don’t consider the version about the danger of health for Tyson real - even if he has some problems, then given the status of the fight - the show, you can agree in advance with your opponent about the absence of dangerous actions.

Let's keep it simple, the fact that Tyson agrees to fight a younger fighter, means he himself believes that he will not get harmed if he loses he can take the punches of his opponent and he believes in himself that he can beat Paul in the fight. However, since it's an exhibition fight, I don't want to overreact, instead, I will just consider that things could be scripted.

The problem is that judging by the latest news, he no longer agrees to this fight  Grin
And by the way, what Mike thinks about the outcome of this fight (assuming it will be a fair fight and not a scripted fight) is irrelevant. He can be very wrong since he is one of the parties and does not look at things objectively plus based on his past achievements (which are long gone) he can overestimate himself.

Financially, Barcelona is 20 years behind Real Madrid. Real Madrid had at the time the debt problem that Barcelona has now and ended up selling their training facility in the center of Madrid to solve it. I don't know what assets Barcelona have to get out of debt now. As for the team, I'm glad to see that Real Madrid is once again putting together a squad capable of being the first not only in Spain but also in Europe.

Barca are definitely in big financial trouble that will hamper them for years to come. But really the whole model of elite football is broken. The amount that clubs pay out in transfer fees and wages is just absurd. If football was working properly, as a game, then a club as big as Barca would be making huge profits all the time. But the situation is that the rewards for success are so high that teams will throw all the money they have at it in order to gamble on success, which inflates fees, inflates wages, inflates the problem.

Football is the biggest game in the world. How can one of the biggest clubs possibly be in this state? It needs to be addressed somehow (and super league is not the answer!).

Why is the Super League not the way out? Just business very easily solves such problems - if the club spends money that it does not have, then it quickly goes to the trash (goes bankrupt). Where business is run, everything is logical - that is why the EPL is the most expensive and profitable league in the world. If you take other leagues ruled by bureaucrats, all sorts of partnerships and other degenerate institutions, then this leads to collapse - because they are not responsible for their financial decisions with their money.

Today will be the matches of the quarter-finals of the Spanish Cup and the quotes at the moment are as follows:

Real Sociedad - Betis

2.03 - 3.65 - 3.7

Athletic - Real Madrid

2.95 - 3.35 - 2.5

In my opinion, the chances of Betis and Real are underestimated. But given the excellent defensive performance of Real Sociedad, I would bet on a draw in regular time in the first pair. Despite the problems with the squad, Real should win the match, at least the odds compensate for the risk - I think we should bet on Real to win in regular time.
From 5 matches throughout 2021, Bilbao was only able to win 1 game, the rest Madrid managed to come out as winners.
I think tonight there will be a lot of people who are willing to bet for real madrid wins, with the big odds issued by bookies for madrid FT wins it would be an interest to bet on Real Madrid.
and also in my opinion there is nothing to doubt for madrid's victory, tonight I bet a lot for real madrid's victory, hopefully madrid can win the match with a big score.

I think Real Madrid's attractive odds of winning are due to four factors: Benzema's absence, Ancelotti's busyness with license renewal, the away match, Real's potential low motivation in the cup. But are these factors enough to give Real Madrid such chances? I think not, because the opponent is lower class and to complete everything quickly, Real Madrid will win big in regular time  Grin

The investigations are continuing, and this certainly wouldn't do anything to help team spirit at Man United, and that was one of their big problems... it is getting quite difficult to see them finishing this campaign in a Champions League spot. As for Greenwood personally, it seems this is effectively the end of his career... unless he is actually innocent and is cleared of all charges, but given the way things have gone so far, that seems quite an unlikely outcome.

Yes, I did not delve into this case deeply, but judging by how everything went far, it was not ordinary (already annoying) accusations like METOO, but a real crime with existing evidence.

This is a controversial statement, as in previous years, PSG have consistently achieved a good result in the French Cup. This season, their result is the worst in more than 10 years. Also - for what reasons should they "ignore" this cup? In the domestic championship they have no competitors and no problems, Champions League matches are now played with less frequency due to the play-off stage.  I think PSG wanted to win the French Cup this year too, but they couldn't.

After being eliminated from the Round of 16 in the France Cup, the PSG team proved that they are still weak as a team. There are no well-known star players in the Nice team. However, PSG's performance against this team was weak. PSG made only 10 shots in the entire match, of which only two were on target. Mbappe and Messi did not play well. PSG will undoubtedly lose if they perform so poorly against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Real Madrid is a good and experienced team.

I can’t say that PSG showed a very bad game, everyone played as usual Messi so-so, Mbappe was also without a spark, and Neymar was absent altogether due to the fact that he continues to recover from injury. Unfortunately, I saw the news that Benzema's participation in the first match is in doubt, this is a serious plus for PSG.

These are not training sessions, but official games. If you follow the Olympics, you should have noticed that the games start a few days before the official opening. This mainly applies to team sports (such as football) because the period of the competition is longer than the duration of the Olympiad. This happens at almost all the Olympics, both winter and summer.

I know that competition starts before official opening. And that was I dont understand. Why not then make duration of Olympic games longer, instead of running games before start? That would give some extra rest day for athletes.

As a hockey fan, I remember that game for gold happens usually on Sunday. And one team advances to final on Thursday, other on Friday. Always one team has one day less rest. If they increase duration of games, it might turn that both team will get same time for rest.

It is impossible to make a tournament of the same length for all participants, the organizers choose the optimal length. As for the different number of rest days, it is wrong to consider only the number of rest days before the final - the calendar is designed in such a way that the difference in the number of rest days between the finalists is minimal. If we take the entire distance of the tournament, then for example it is 30 and 31 days - this is an insignificant difference to talk about injustice.

The match ended as expected 4-1. Uruguay is in fourth place, but they have two matches ahead of them with direct competitors - Peru and Chile, these games will determine whether they get to the World Cup directly or through a play-off (if they take fifth place). Quite an interesting situation, theoretically they can fall even to 6th place, but for this Chile must beat Brazil.

I think it will be difficult for Brazil to lose against Chile. It would take Brazil to play a very bad game for that to happen.
Now, it will be interesting to see the fight for third and fourth place. Since Argentina should be able to secure the second place with some ease.

Yes, given that it will be a home game for Brazil, it is unlikely that they will decide to suffer the first defeat in the tournament in front of their fans - the most that Chile can count on is a draw.
I think the fight will go only for 4th and 5th place. Ecuador is already getting its ticket for sure, because in order to knock it out of the four teams, competitors only have to win. But this is mathematically impossible since they are playing with each other.

By the way, the question about money is quite interesting. Of course Mike Tyson doesn't need money like regular people, but he's not rich enough either (at least based on his sports earnings). I remember how he parted with Don King with scandal and said that all his money had slipped through his fingers, and such dealers as Don King made millions on him. Now in one fight he can earn as much as he used to earn in several championship fights. Why refuse it? I do not understand.

I don't understand either why Mike refused to fight Logan Paul, I also don't believe that Mike isn't after the money he can make if the fight were to happen because he's not that financially wealthy. I really think there's some hidden issues (maybe health) that Mike doesn't want the people to know about him.

An associate of Tyson’s said the former boxer and  Paul, 25, were in “advanced talks” to headline a nearly $50 million pay-per-view fight.
Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/01/17/no-mike-tyson-is-not-fighting-jake-paul-representative-says/?sh=7f3e8c1d2cf7

This article was published 2 weeks ago by Forbes, however they meant JAKE PAUL here but it's clear that they've been talking about money. So, now tell me if Mike Tyson was indeed not going after the money Huh

As the proverb says: whatever the conversation is about, it is about money  Grin And I don’t consider the version about the danger of health for Tyson real - even if he has some problems, then given the status of the fight - the show, you can agree in advance with your opponent about the absence of dangerous actions.

If we believe the news that says that Barcelona has increased its debt by 30% (four hundred million euros) over the past year, then its prospects become incomprehensible to me. By the way, I don't know the intricacies of the rules of financial fair play, but it seems that Barcelona does not follow its spirit - it spends much more than it earns and this cannot end well.

You know they already had to sell the best player of their squad and they don't want this to get worse than that. And if the news is true then they might also face a lot of legal lawsuits. Now their main focus should have to save money for future development otherwise surly they are going to be in big trouble again.

Do you mean Grinzman?  Cheesy If you remember, Messi left Barcelona as a free agent. At the moment, I see one option for saving Barcelona - the launch of the Super League. This will give a lot of money in the future, which means that under these earnings it will be possible to take investments right now and improve the position of the club. But judging by the lack of news regarding the Super League, this option remains elusive.

Actually pochettino is a good coach, we can see his track record so far in building tottenham into a strong team the last few seasons, but unfortunately pochettino career in France is not as beautiful as in England, even though he managed to make PSG to be at the top of the Ligue 1 standings but Pochetinno has not been able to bring out the potential of the star squad that he has, I think Pochettino lack of experience to coach a big team so made him fail PSG.

Yesterday I read somewhere in the news that Pochettino himself spoke in a close circle (this is a kind of leak) that he was morally tired of working as a coach at PSG and would leave the club in the summer. I don't know how true these rumors are, but with PSG at the moment he has not achieved what (I think) the management expected - winning the Champions League. Perhaps this season is his last chance.

The difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona has become huge. In terms of players, but also in terms of financial possibilities. A few years of mismanagement at Barcelona, ​​bought a lot with a negative return. If Mbappe goes to Madrid, Madrid can again be counted among the absolute world top. But we also have Bayern Munich and Man City as privateers on the coast. 50 million a year.. yes that is a lot of money

ya.ya.yo!

70% bet leaning towards to Roma, no doubt about it. Jose Mourinho and squad can easily beat Genoa at home. Lorenzo Pellegrini has recovered and so do the others, seems AS Roma is in the full squad. The good news, is Diawara also stayed in Roma until this session. But, AS Roma are easily satisfied, after 1 goal the possibility Mourinho will change formation to defend. and hold it after the finish.

A one-goal lead is too slippery to start defending once you've reached it - especially when playing at home against an underdog. Roma concede a lot of goals (they have conceded more goals than all the teams that are ahead in the standings) so I think that Roma will not stop until they score at least two goals.

I think it doesn't matter how well plays each other team except PSG,they are leading by 11 points already and that means judging we are already in February it would take a miracle for them to lose Ligue 1 this year.Ligue 1 is not interesting for who is going to win this because we already knew that even before the Championship started,what is interesting is the other teams which team will play enough beautiful and effective football to be able to participate in the Champions League next year.

Bookmaker quotes for clubs to win in Ligue 1:

Paris Saint Germain 1.00 <- LOL  Grin

Nice 62.00

Olympique Marseille 62.00

https://stake.com/sports/outright/soccer/france/ligue-1/41988454-ligue-1-21-22

The bookies don't want to give even one percent of the profit to those who bet on PSG and give them money until the end of the championship.
As for the Champions League, it is true that this season, due to the decline of the favorites, many clubs got a chance to get a ticket there. But this can lead to bad consequences - newcomers can perform poorly and France will lose points that affect the number of tickets to European competitions.

Finally, Kylian Mbappe's youth dream will make true this summer. According to the news portal he consent to move at Real Madrid with no transfer fees. He will make around €50m a year. Reports saying he his on his way to Madrid. I trust Real Madrid doesn't end up being under in debt like Barcelona soon.
€50m a year
€4.2m a month
€961,500m a week

Or 95€ per minute, x3…that's how long it took to write this text.

Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard will probably be replaced and with Kylian Mbappé they have a French international player. Together with Benzema’s he will probably play 1 more season. His contract ends in 2023. Barcelona afraid of the next classico games?

The first to be replaced is likely Modric, simply because of his age. Benzema is great and he will definitely play a few more seasons at Real Madrid. As for Barcelona, do you think that at the moment they are not afraid of clasico and something will change when Mbappe moves to Real Madrid? I think Barcelona are in bigger trouble than competing with Real Madrid because there are a lot of other clubs playing better than them right now.

I think AC Milan has to win this match otherwise, Inter would be too far ahead of them or for any team to catch them. If Milan wins then they will be right behind of inter. But if inter wins I think that they will become absolutely untouchable, to be honest. Because they already have a one-game lead (played 1 less match). But the squad management could be a little problematic for both teams.

I hope you don't place bets based on this kind of reasoning. Unfortunately, very often things happen that we do not want, but if we bet on what will happen, what will be pleasant for us, then this will lead to big losses. Sometimes I also fall into this trap, but I try to avoid this effect - for example, I try not to bet on the teams I support.

It’s always funny for me to look at such statistics - possession of the ball is 65-70 percent, while the defeat and the number of shots on goal are higher for the opponent. In such cases, possession of the ball only indicates inefficient play. Those times when the opponents rushed to pick up the ball and exhausted themselves have already ended, now the team just steps back and defends.
So long Barcelona can hold on to ball possession and have a good control of their games then we should hope the would also develop strategies on how to send the ball right inside the net. For me all I see is improvement by the day the tiki taka strategy has been their formula in time past and has always been their Winning advantage but currently their strickers aren't doing enough to portray the beauty in their style of Play

This is an outdated strategy. Also, even in the past, it has only been successful if your team was manned by superstars (but even then, there have been failures at the strategic level, when the opponent played completely from defense and let Barcelona roll the ball in midfield as much as they wanted).  Pay attention to the statistics - if a team controls the ball for 70% of the playing time, but at the same time it has fewer shots on goal than the opponent, then this means ineffective ball control.
