The move has been realized, Kepa has been introduced by Real Madrid and officially joined on 14 August. Lunin started Madrid's first game last week, the presence of Kepa indicates that Ancelotti is not willing to bet on making Lunin replace Courtois. Previously, Kepa was also associated with Bayern Munchen and Madrid managed to secure the Spanish goalkeeper's service.

I think when Coutois comes back from injury Kepa will be number 2, for Lunin he should go on loan to add experience and minutes.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is the goalkeeper who was brought in to replace the injured Thibaut Courtois. Kepa was not purchased from Chelsea, but Real Madrid chose the loan option for him this season. You're right that Ancelotti doesn't have a lot of faith in Lunin, that's because Lunis doesn't really seem to be in the best form yet in goal.

Andriy Lunin also didn't have many appearances last season in various competitions with Real Madrid, but Ancelotti also had to give him game time when Thibaut Courtois was absent for whatever reason. Lunin might not go out on loan, but I think he will stay at Real Madrid even if not Ancelotti's first choice this season.

I dont know what player can currently replace him on that position with the similar quality. He has been the brains behind a lot of attacks of Man City in the previous season and without him this is gonna cause problems. We seen already against Sevilla that there were many problems in getting that direct ball for the goal.
So far it has been difficult to find a suitable replacement for Kevin De Bruyne at Manchester City, but it is not impossible.
Pep Guardiola is a coach figure who is able to optimize the appearance of a player under his care so that I think he can get a suitable replacement for De Bruyne in the future. Of course he needs time, but I think Pep Guardiola can.

Cole Palmer is one who will probably continue to improve under Pep Guardiola. He has a good game as an attacking midfielder, but Cole Palmer is not as good as De Bruyne. Cole Palmer will need time and hard work to reach his high level of play, but only if he is to stay a little longer.

Professional gamblers will bet on every match. And they will take risks. They love to take risks. Maybe win or lose money, they have no regrets.
I never thought the same, a professional gambler should only bet on games he thinks has a good chance of making a profit. Betting on all matches is not the best way to say they are professionals, but it is gamblers who forget that doing so can increase the risk of losing more.

I am not very rich. So I bet very carefully. I am willing to bet on Napoli, Inter Milan and AS Roma to win. In these three matches Napoli, Inter and Roma opponents are quite weak. Their chances of defeat are very low. Also Fiorentina vs. Geona and Atalanta vs. Sassuolo matches are more likely to draw for me. I still can't decide whether to bet on these two matches. After seeing the starting XI of these teams I will take the betting decision.
You don't need to bet on every game to win, but you do need to adapt your betting needs to a number of matches that you find interesting. I think it's good if you bet on the games you watch, it's a fun way to enjoy the game. But this varies from gambler to gambler, especially if you are gambling only for money.

We've seen quite a few rumors regarding Mbappe over the last few seasons. He wants to come to Real Madrid every season. But finally renewed the contract with PSG again. This season there were strong rumors that Mbappe would not renew his contract with PSG. He is interested in moving to Madrid as a free agent. However, we have seen more news that Florentino Perez is willing to spend 180 million to get Mbappe this season. But still, Mbappe is not leaving PSG. Now we are hearing rumors that he will extend his contract with PSG. I don't believe any news about Mbappe. I won't believe it until PSG renews Mbappe's contract. Because we have seen many plays of Mbappe over the years.
Yes, there have been a lot of rumors about Kylian Mbappe in recent seasons and I admit that. Kylian Mbappe is really interested in playing for Real Madrid given his ambition to become the world's best player and also win the Champions League title. I know it's possible for Kylian Mbappe, but as long as he doesn't have a good attitude towards his team then I think it will be difficult for him to be best nomination even if he wins the Champions League later.

If Kylian Mbappe really manages to move to Real Madrid, then I hope he can really change his seemingly very selfish attitude. He has to play for the team and he is oriented around that, but if he does otherwise then I hope Real Madrid will never give him a longer contract.

We've got nothing but Halving. I know prices will go up, but I think it's too early yet. Bitcoin price is no longer affected by negative news as much as before. We have seen this in many news. So the market may be sensitive to negative news, but Bitcoin is not as affected as other coins.

There is an expectation in the market that the price of Bitcoin will decrease. Bitcon has been stuck at 29k 30k prices for a long time. The expectation of decline must be met before the price begins to rise. Of course, I think this way, maybe the price will go up without ever falling.
There's not much I can say other than asking you to look at the actual market conditions. The market is volatile all the time and you cannot avoid that negative news like FUD and big news in the mainstream can influence the price to go down. Believe me, bitcoin has a correlation with such things in low and high percentage due to the influence of traders.

Something is not completely certain, especially about speculation about the future price of bitcoin. The market will be affected by anything, both news and others, such as politics and world financial conditions, even a pandemic can affect prices.

He came in at the end of a difficult season. It seems Bayern Munich believe in Tuchel so much that it replaces Nagelsmann. But until now, his arrival does not seem to be better than Nagelsmann. Last season's Bundesliga champion, it seems to be luck too. Let's see this season, if he fails miserably this means Tuchel is not able to control Bayern Munich. The option of another one-year extension might be good, but maybe a 2-year contract if he fails then he has to leave.
Personally I don't put much faith in Thomas Tuchel. I know he's got some career experience going uphill during his spells at Chelsea and PSG, but Thomas Tuchel also has good experience with other Bundeliga teams during his time at Borussia Dortmund.

I'm not saying Thomas Tuchel is a worse coach than Julian Nagelsmann, but the two coaches seem to differ in terms of experience and coaching style. I prefer Julian Nagelsmann to get more chances than Tuchel, but Tuchel can also prove something useful for his current team. This is Thomas Tuchel's second season with Bayern Muncen and he has brought in some players the likes of Harry Kane, Min-jae Kim, Konrad Laimer and Guerreiro. That will support his plans for this season at Bayern Munich, especially in the Champions League and Bundesliga.

He's simply better suited to that defensive midfield position than any other. Since Kante departed Chelsea, I knew they needed to sign a new player to fill that spot, and from the looks of things and Caicedo's stats with his last team, he'll be the right fit. Even though some believe he is overpriced for 115 million euros as a defensive midfielder, what matters most is how he provides and gives back to his club on the pitch. He won't be as expensive if he doesn't have the potential to fill that position, and I'm confident he'll do well and fill the void left by Ngolo Kante.
Based on Chelsea's transfer record so far, they have spent as much as €323m to build their squad. Todd Boehly has really invested heavily in Chelsea since he took over from Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich, the transfer market has actually managed to drain his net balance over the years.

Todd Boehly has enormous ambitions to return Chelsea to its former glory, but this team will need a lot of time and investment. Pochettino is in charge of all the players brought in and he must know exactly what to do throughout the season. Chelsea are focused on the Premier League and domestic competition, and Pochettino should have no big problems getting Chelsea into the top 4 at the end of the season.

In general, what you say is true, if AC Milan wants to win the Scudetto at the end of the season they have to recruit good players. Looking at the transfer market for clubs in Serie A this summer, AC Milan is one of the most active in buying players. If you mean the standard of a good player, for example at the level of Mbappe or Halaand, I don't think AC Milan and other Serie A clubs can do that. For players below the level of Mbappe or Halaand it is possible to recruit, because the price is in accordance with financial conditions.

Many media reports say that Financial clubs in Serie A are not very supportive of recruiting expensive players at this time. However, AC Milan current squad is in position No. 2 as the club that has the most expensive squad in Serie A after Napoli.

Source : https://www.transfermarkt.co.id/serie-a/startseite/wettbewerb/IT1
Several Serie A teams also have the ability to sign expensive players like Juventus did for Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuaín, Matthijs de Ligt, Dusan Vlahovic, and Arthur Melo a few seasons ago. But a Serie A team has never been richer than some Premier League teams so far in terms of income, but that doesn't make Serie A any worse in terms of the quality of the game.

For this season, Juventus is also still the top team that brings in players more expensively than all other Serie A teams. Juventus have spent 60 million euros at least on their 2 new players with a value of 30 million euros each, they are Manuel Locatelli and Moise Kean.

True you are totally right, I agree with you.
I don't understand what game they are playing honestly, with the fierce Barcelona playing in the market in this way will lead you to play understaffed and with La Liga at high levels and the CHAmpions League you risk ending up like a mouse against a cat: that is, eaten.
I hope they understand and wake up a little.
Real Madrid understands the situation well and they will not act recklessly as long as the situation allows. I would definitely be very happy if in the end Real Madrid managed to sign Kylian Mbappe sooner instead of waiting for his contract to expire at PSG, but I don't think that is the only problem Real Madrid need to solve this season.

The fact is that Real Madrid must also pay attention to its defense where several important players are currently injured. I welcome the arrival of Kepa Arrizabalaga as our new goalkeeper while Thibaut Courtois is out injured. While Éder Militão's injury also deserves special attention in the transfer market even though Real Madrid have several replacement defenders for him.

Considering the financial aspect, there is no possibility of Neymar returning to Barcelona. Barcelona are in dire financial straits. The team is not able to afford Neymar's very high wages. Al Hilal can pay Neymar higher wages. At the same time they will likely pay an incredibly large bonus to Neymar. And so if Neymar considers the financial aspect, he will never choose Barcelona.

But we should not forget that Neymar is only 31 years old now. He would not want to end his career so quickly. Maybe he will get a lot of wages if he goes to the Saudi club. But Saudi League is not very popular. At this age, Neymar will definitely want to play in a top league. And if Neymar is able to play an injury-free season at Barcelona, he has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or. Considering these aspects, maybe Neymar will choose Barcelona.
There is always the possibility of realizing a transfer of Neymar to Barcelona if the two parties manage to reach an agreement in all aspects. I also know that Barcelona are struggling financially, but if we see Neymar joining them then both parties have agreed on many things including a reduction in wages. So I'm not going to underestimate Barcelona's ability on that, so Neymar could come back to Barcelona even though Barcelona is not in good financial terms.

Today Barcelona will visit the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez which is the home ground of Getafe. Barcelona has a better winning probability than Getafe, so I think Barcelona will win this match without much trouble.

Chelsea scored again right after Dissasi's goal, but I think VAR canceled the goal and then another. So far Chelsea have scored 3 goals, of which only one has been counted so far. In general evening game is going on today and you can see that Pocchetino has worked with the room, you can see the character, when after a missed goal the fight only begins. This season I believe Chelsea will be a much more difficult team for opponents than last season.
Chelsea managed to end the first half with a score of 1-1 even though they were left behind by Luis Diaz. Chelsea managed to equalize through Axel Disasi although they had several other chances before half-time. Chelsea appear to have changed since Pochettino took charge, it is clear that is what all of his supporters are hoping for.

I think Chelsea could have dominated this match well and won it. But I'm sure Liverpool will of course put up a strong resistance, but Chelsea with their motivation will do their best to win.

If Bayern Munchen could sign Kane sooner, maybe Kane could make a contribution to them because he had more time to adapt. But I see Tuchel as frustrated after their defeat in the Final, of course he has a lot to do to evaluate the squad going forward.

Kane played in the second half in place of Mathys Tel, I think in their opening game in the Bundesliga Kane will score.
This was a very unpleasant debut match for Kane, of course, because Bayern Munich had to accept a 0-3 defeat to Leipzig. Harry Kane had a chance to feature for Bayern Munich in the second half, but unfortunately he was unable to make much of a difference in the final result. Of course, this result was very disappointing, especially since Bayern Munich could actually control the game, but failed to score until the end of the game.

Thomas Tuchel was really disappointed with the results obtained by Bayern Munich in the DFL Supercup. He apologized for the loss, but Leipzig can really maximize their chances well in front of Bayern Munich's goal and they managed to score 3 goals to win the DFL Supercup title today. Congratulations to Leipzig, great celebration for them.

Was wondering how the PSG team would be like without Mbappe starting or not playing for the team again.
The team's goal stats have fallen drastically, but only if PSG don't have another striker who is qualified and has good finishing. But I don't see that there so far especially after their first match which ended goalless. Everyone failed to score against Lorient although some of them had good chances to break the deadlock.

This season they are without Messi and now Mbappe, is really going to be worrisome because I don't see anybody to fit in those positions of Messi and Mbappe, even if the have, they can't play like those two. With Neymar Jr in the team with him always on the injury list I don't see this team doing well at all, they can do well in the league but outside this France ligue 1 it would be hard, and now they can't score a goal against Lorient, this game might even end in a draw.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the end PSG failed to win any titles this season if they didn't have great strikers and wingers. PSG have signed Dembele from Barcelona and maybe that would be a great addition following Messi's departure, but Luis Enrique has basically been left bewildered by his pick of the best line-up of the season.

Neymar is also rumored to leave PSG in the near future, it will add a lot of work for Enrique to find the right players in his main line-up. Asensio has not performed optimally, as have several newcomers this season.

If you are referring to diversification for the mere sake of it (because you think that there is a benefit to that), then you are wrong.  Things can go wrong.. because you dilute your investment and you lack focus.

Alternatively, if you are believe that diversification into shitcoins constitutes any kind of meaningful diversification, then you are wrong.  Things can go wrong.. because again you are diluting your investment into nonsense.. including into a field that is already correlated to bitcoin.. so shitcoins move along with bitcoin, so if you diversify into them, you are merely adding more risk to an already risky investment area (namely bitcoin).. and the general idea of getting benefits from diversification comes from investing in differing categories of asset classes (hopefully not correlated), and traditionally those differing categories of asset classes would be equities (stocks), bonds (various kinds of debt instruments), properties, commodities and various kinds of cash exposure.  Surely some of the recent problems with the various lack of non-correlation, even with the traditionally different categories, is that so many of them are corrupted by the various ways that the categories are tending to be overly leveraged by various ways that the dollar (and other fiat currencies) are propped up in ways that natural market dynamics are not allowed to take place.. and even shitcoins actually incorporate some of the various fiat corruptions in varying ways that are not necessarily consistent between them, but does not seem to be a justification to "diversify" into those varying kinds of smoke and mirror products for the mere sake of "being diversified".
JayJuanGee, I understand your point as well as your explanation here. After all I don't want to suggest someone diversify into altcoins if they basically have better options than that. Gold, property and a few other options are investment assets that allow them to earn returns, but I wouldn't be able to fully blame it if someone among us also secretly invested in altcoins as an effort to diversify its assets.

We are in the same space where the investments we make are recognized as risky actions. The goal of diversification is to gain and minimize the risk of loss and maximizing returns, but of course one can make mistakes that increase the risk of loss. I also don't want to talk too much about altcoins though I may not be the only person thinking about diversification.

Interestingly, bookmakers are giving odds of 2.1 on a Real Madrid win... This is their first match this season without Benzema and Bilbao is not an easy opponent... But I think Real can win today... To compete with Barcelona this season they need to pick up points from the start... Bilbao judging by the friendly matches are not in the best shape, although the same can be said about Real Madrid...
I also think about the same thing, of course it's about winning Real Madrid.
I know Real Madrid is a bit different without Benzema in the squad, but Real Madrid shouldn't always rely on one player to do well all season. We have Vinicius, Rodrygo as players who can have a positive impact on the game, also we have Bellingham who can be expected to do well in attack.

After that, I don't think Real Madrid should think too much about Barcelona. Real Madrid must play well for themselves and win as many points as possible. The competition will obviously be very tight if Barcelona can perform as well as last season, but I don't expect Real Madrid to be affected by that.

I didn't hear much when Courtois was injured. It turned out that he had an ACL injury, and it seemed to take a while to heal. But maybe it won't be a problem because the transfer market is still quite open so they still have time to shop for goalkeepers. In addition, they currently have Lunin, there is Lucas Canizares, the main goalkeeper of the Real Madrid Castilla academy, and Fran Gonzalez, who is the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Juvenil A. Indeed, there are many rumors that Anceloti is hunting for a goalkeeper, Sevilla's main names are Yassine Bounou, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Hugo Lloris, Keylor Navas, but it seems that De Gea's options are also good on a free transfer.
AakZaki, it looks like Real Madrid will soon complete a loan transfer for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for one season. I have just received news that Kepa Arrizabalaga has agreed to join Real Madrid even if only on loan. Fabrizio Romano also seemed to have confirmed that in a Twitter post a few hours ago, so Real Madrid are unlikely to be too troubled as long as Thibaut Courtois is out injured.

Kepa Arrizabalaga would be a good signing to replace Thibaut Courtois, but it will all depend on his form when he plays. Today Real Madrid will play Andriy Lunin as goalkeeper, but I think he is the best choice at the moment. Ancelotti also left out Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the first half and he has opted for Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde in midfield. I hope that all the players in the main line-up can play their best so that victory can be expected to come true.

Aston Villa's defense was completely undermined today by Newcastle. I never expected Newcastle to be this strong at the start of the season but they played really well today. I was really surprised by their performance but Newcastle have been very, very good since last season.

Newcastle are partying today, of course it's because they have scored 5 goals all game. The temporary score is 5-1 and I think it will soon be over to make Unai Emery rack his brains to restore his team's confidence in the next game.

Volatility is inseparable, it will surely be there forever for bitcoin trading. That is why everyone is warned about the risks of trading and investing, this is meant to let them understand that volatility can be both detrimental and profitable.

If you’re comparing charts to previous cycles then there is typically one more large correction before blast off. This could happen anytime in the next 10 months. It could be from some news event people overreact to, or more likely to me is that it could result from profit taking after the halving event. I urge people to strongly buy if that does happen.
I also think that that is the worst case scenario that investors need to consider. Even if they believe that there won't be a bigger correction in the next 10 months leading up to the halving, I think DCA is a good strategy to consider. While it's good to maintain optimism and confidence about the best price ahead of the halving, some past patterns also can't be completely ignored especially if they really want to build a good investment portfolio.

I agree that if a big correction in the next 10 months does happen, then I hope accumulation is the option that the average investor really does. But let's hope not, it must be better.

We know hiring better players and spending too much money can't be the reason for the teams to have a better performance against each other and we just saw that about Real Madrid and Barcelona, Barcelona spent less money than Real Madrid but they won the friendly match they had. This can be the reason to say regardless of the financial issues in Barcelona I think they can also have the chance to even race for the title in the Champions League.
Financially sound Real Madrid could easily build the squad they want, but I admit that was not the only reason why we won the title. Barcelona, ​​which is continuously rumored to be in poor financial condition, actually impressed in many pre-season matches including when they beat Real Madrid, but that is also not a benchmark that can be the reason that Barcelona will win La Liga this season.

Xavi as a former Barcelona midfield maestro really understands Barcelona well. He works sincerely and builds the quality of his team very well. He has learned a lot from his failures despite the fact that Barcelona's squad depth cannot be expected to succeed in the Champions League. I believe Real Madrid won't beat Barcelona easily, but Real Madrid are a team better prepared to do it.
