If we compare Germany with Scotland ahead of this match, it is clear that Germany is superior to Scotland. Because if you look at the FIFA rankings, Scotland is clearly far behind Germany. The reason is that currently Germany is ranked 16th in the world while Scotland is ranked 39th. Apart from that, if you look at it in terms of players, Germany is also superior to Scotland, because many German players play for big European clubs. Like Toni Kroos, Gundogan and also Sane. So it is certain that in this match there is no doubt that Germany will be the winner. Apart from that, in my personal opinion, in this match, my prediction is that Germany will score more than 2 goals and I am sure that in this match Germany will not concede. Because considering that the German defense line is full of great players, what's more, the German goalkeepers are senior goalkeepers like Ter Stegen and Neuer. So it will definitely be very difficult for Scotland to penetrate the German defense. So betting on Germany in this match is the most correct decision, and I will also entrust my bet to Germany in this match.

From the many news sites I read, it looks like Virgil Van Dijk will not leave Liverpool. The reason is that he still has one more season's contract at Liverpool, apart from that he also stated that he will stay at Liverpool.

So it is clear that Al Nasr's hopes of bringing in Van Dijk at this time will most likely not be achieved. The reason is, even though Van Dijk left and for example ended his contract with Liverpool, he did not seem interested in the Saudi Arabian League. However, he seems to really want to join Barcelona, ​​because in several interviews he also said things that indicated he really wanted to join Barcelona.
So now it looks like Al Nasr has to look for another strong defender to make his defense even stronger. So far I have not received any information regarding who Al Nasr's tough defender will be bringing in. Maybe this season Al Nasr can bring in defenders from other clubs in Saudi Arabia. Because if Al Nasr is too insistent on bringing in young defenders from Europe, in my opinion it will be very difficult. Because young players in Europe definitely have big dreams and don't just want to make money. So you can be sure that Al Nasr will definitely have difficulty bringing in young defenders from Europe.

Apart from that, if for example Al Nasr still wants a defender from Europe, but for example the player is old, I am sure that if Al Nasr succeeds in bringing him in then the results will not be good. So it would be better for Al Nasr to look for a talented young defender from Saudi Arabia, if for example looking for a European player is no longer possible.

Yes, after Gavi suffered an injury when he played for the Spanish national team against Georgia in the Euro qualifiers, he had to be absent for quite a long time. The reason is, he was diagnosed with a torn ligament. So it's natural that he has to be absent for quite a long time. Because, it takes quite a long time to fully recover from ligament injuries. This injury certainly made Gavi a little disappointed because he only played a few matches with Barcelona and because of the injury he suffered, he failed to appear with Spain at the Euro this time.

However, fortunately Gavi did not have to be absent for 8 months, because looking at the photo of Gavi who was able to return to training again, it can give us a clear picture that Gavi has indeed recovered from his injury.
Apart from that, according to one of the information media, Gavi is reported to be able to return to playing again, or fully recover on June 30.
This will indeed be very beneficial for Barcelona, ​​because in the coming season Barcelona will definitely need a talented midfielder like Gavi. because currently another Barcelona midfielder (De Jong) is injured. So it will be a breath of fresh air when Gavi can return to playing.

I didn't expect Thiago Motta to actually agree to a contract with Juventus. Because initially I thought Thiago Motta would continue to coach Bologna. The reason is, his coaching contract with Bologna has only been running for two seasons, apart from that he is also in a pretty good trend with Bologna, because he is able to make Bologna a quite strong team this season. But with this news, it will definitely be a joy for Juventus fans, because of course all Juventus fans already know the quality of Thiago Motta while coaching Bologna, which is really quite good.

Then the initial tasks that Thiago Motta must complete at Juventus are of course the front line and midfield. But apart from these two things, Juventus still has a fairly weak defense at the moment. Because it has been proven that this season Juventus often conceded goals in many matches, even against weak teams. So in essence, Thiago Motta must really develop Juventus in almost all areas. Because, when Juventus was still coached by Allegri, Juventus' game was still far from optimal. So of course all these things must be resolved well by Thiago Motta.

And with the long contract that Thiago Motta signed with Juventus, it is clear that this is intended so that the process that Thiago Motta is undergoing really produces maximum results. Because of course Juventus management also knows that this team needs more than one season to develop better.

Arne's quality is of course below Kloop's, so it's natural if you are a little doubtful about Arne's placement in Liverpool's coaching chair. But in my personal opinion, Arne can definitely make Liverpool remain a team that is great enough to challenge for the Premier League title next season. The reason is that apart from Liverpool also having quite good players, Arne also has quite extensive coaching experience when coaching Dutch club Feyenoord. The reason is that this season, Arne was able to bring Feyenoord to win a trophy in the KNVB competition. Apart from that, Arne was also successful in bringing Feyenoord to finish in 2nd place in the Dutch League standings. So in essence, I personally really believe that Arne can definitely make Liverpool a great team next season. Because looking at his coaching track record, it can be said to be quite convincing.

Then regarding the question of whether under Arne's coaching Liverpool can become Premier League champions, I also don't know for sure whether Arne's Liverpool can be that good. But at least, Liverpool's performance next season will certainly not be much different from this season when Klopp was still coaching. Moreover, if for example Arne adds quite great players in the transfer market this season, it is certain that Liverpool's performance will be even better. And it is reported that currently Arne wants Firmino to be brought into the Liverpool squad.

It makes sense if Albania is the dark horse team at the Euros this time. The reason is, Albania's performance in the qualifying round was quite impressive, because Albania was able to beat a strong team like Poland and was also able to beat the Czechs. But the problem is that Albania is currently in a very difficult group. The reason is that Albania is in group B with Italy, Croatia and Italy. So even though Albania was quite good in the qualifying round, I have a little doubt that Albania can qualify for the knockout phase, considering that the team they will face is indeed a great team in group B.

Apart from that, I personally believe Türkiye will be the dark horse team at this Euro. The reason is that in the qualifying round, Turkey managed to show quite good performance. The proof alone is that Türkiye was also able to beat Croatia in the qualifying round. Apart from that, what was even more surprising was that in a friendly match, Turkey managed to beat the hosts of this year's Euro, Germany. Apart from that, Türkiye is also in group F with Portugal, Czechia and Georgia. So Turkey definitely has quite a big potential to enter the knockout phase, because of course only Portugal will make things difficult for Turkey in group F. So you can be sure that Turkey can be a strong candidate to become a dark horse team at this Euro.

Yes, Wojciech Szczesny was Ronaldo's teammate when he was still at Juventus, so if in this transfer market Wojciech Szczesny was successfully brought in by Al Nasr, of course this would be a very good thing. Apart from that, even though Wojciech Szczesny is quite old, he can still be said to be a very great goalkeeper. The reason is, apart from playing with Juventus in the last few seasons, Wojciech Szczesny is also still the mainstay goalkeeper for the Polish National Team. So that at the Euro which will be held, Wojciech Szczesny is included in the list of players brought in by the Polish national team.

Apart from that, yesterday when Poland played a friendly match with Turkey, Wojciech Szczesny also entered as the main starter and managed to make 6 saves in 90 minutes. So there is no need to doubt, Al Nasr must really move quickly and make a high enough offer to Juventus, so that Wojciech Szczesny can be released to Al Nasr. Because as we know, Arsenal is also targeting Wojciech Szczesny. So, if for example Al Nasr doesn't move quickly and doesn't make a high enough offer, you can be sure that Wojciech Szczesny will most likely choose to move to Arsenal. However, fortunately, Arsenal only offered Wojciech Szczesny to be a secondary goalkeeper, so Wojciech Szczesny will definitely think twice about moving to Arsenal. Even so, Al Nasr still has to really complete its discussions with Juventus as soon as possible to bring in Wojciech Szczesny.

Even though it is a bit difficult to accept the assumptions you convey, the facts of what is happening in Barcelona currently are like that. The reason is that currently Barcelona has definitely lost to Real Madrid in every way. Whether looking at it from a financial perspective, the depth of the squad they have, or the quality of the coach. So actually, if you look at the situation Barcelona is currently facing, it is a bit inaccurate if Barcelona is called Real Madrid's rival. Because basically a rival always has conditions that are not much different. However, what happened between Barcelona and Real Madrid was like earth and sky. So it is natural that Barcelona is said to be unable to become Real Madrid's rival next season. Because of course Barcelona will not be able to match the Real Madrid squad which is truly fantastic as it is now.

The reason is that in the season that has just ended, Barcelona was really unable to compete with Real Madrid, because in several meetings with Real Madrid, Barcelona always lost. So next season, it is very likely that Barcelona will be beaten again by Real Madrid. Even though Barcelona currently has a new coach, Hansi Flick, this will certainly not make Barcelona develop too far. Because in essence Barcelona lacks the money to buy players who are the standardization that Hansi Flick wants. And speaking of trophies, this season Barcelona failed to win a single trophy. So next season, with competition definitely getting tougher, Barcelona's chances of getting a trophy will definitely be very small too.

At first I wanted to continue to think positively about Barcelona, ​​but if you look at the facts, Barcelona will really have difficulties next season.

It is true that in the last decade, not a single team from Serie A has been able to win the Champions League. However, the only teams that dominate and always win the Champions League come from La Liga and the Bundesliga. However, in my personal opinion, Serie A teams are not weak, because in this decade Juventus managed to advance to the Champions League final twice in the 2014-2015 season and also in the 2016-2017 season. Apart from that, in the Champions League last season, the team from Serie A, namely Inter Milan, also managed to advance to the final. Although in the end no one succeeded in becoming champions in the Champions League.
However, this is enough to prove that teams from Serie A are no less competitive than teams in other leagues in Europe.

Apart from that, if you look further into history from 2000-2010, it is actually very rare for teams from Serie A to win trophies in the Champions League. Only AC Milan has been able to win the Champions League in several editions. So it could be that the reason why Serie A teams do not perform optimally when competing in international competitions may be because club management is reluctant to spend a lot of money. However, the management at Serie A clubs only form teams with not too much capital, but are still able to compete quite well. But even so, I am quite impressed with the teams in Serie A, because even though they don't spend a lot of money, their team can still be a team that is still respected in Europe. And for next season, my prediction is that the teams in Serie A will remain quite tough competitors in the Champions League. But to become champion, it might be a little impossible. Considering that big clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City are getting stronger now.

Yes, Todd Boehly seems to want to bring Chelsea to more instant success, but actually this will certainly be a little difficult. Because it requires a fairly intensive process and also takes quite a long time to make a football team truly mature (become great). So even though Todd Boehly has quite a lot of money, if he can't change his mindset, I think Chelsea will have difficulty developing. So it's true, it looks like Todd Boehly really needs an advisor who is truly an expert in the world of football. Because, it is natural that Todd Boehly wants to make Chelsea successful quickly, or is too hasty. Because basically he is not a player or expert in the world of football, but a well-known businessman. So of course, he didn't have much experience regarding football. So Todd Boehly must be given better direction, so that his team can develop rapidly. Because it would be a shame if the money Todd Boehly spent was wasted because he doesn't have enough experience in the field of football.

And now the Chelsea coaching chair is filled by Enzo Maresca, I think he is a pretty good coach. The reason is that last season, when he was still coaching at Leicester City, his progress was quite good. Because, he succeeded in bringing Leicester City to qualify for the Premier League next season. So if Todd Boehly is aware of that, I think keeping Enzo Maresca for a few seasons will definitely have a good impact on Chelsea. Especially if Todd Boehly spends more money in the transfer market this summer to buy several players. Certainly Chelsea could have a much stronger squad depth.

Ronaldo is different from other footballers, because even though he is old, he is still able to play a very good game and is also still able to be a very great goal scorer. So he really deserves to be included as a starter in Portugal for the upcoming Euros. Apart from that, Joao Felix also played very well in this match by scoring one goal against Ireland. I think he will be a very valuable asset for the future of the Portuguese national team. The reason is that currently Joao Felix is ​​still very young, so he can definitely continue to develop his talents and abilities to become even greater.

Apart from that, when talking about the Euro, Portugal is in group F with Türkiye, Georgia and the Czechs. In my opinion, Portugal's chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are quite big. Because in Group F, the only country that might make things difficult for Portugal is most likely Turkey. Meanwhile I believe Portugal and Czech can easily beat Portugal. Moreover, with Ronaldo's ambition to present his last Euro title to Portugal, it is certain that he will perform optimally at this Euro.

I think Ronaldo is still capable of playing the full 90 minutes at the moment. Because with very disciplined training, his stamina remains strong even when he is old. So in my personal opinion, at the next Euro, Ronaldo will definitely be irreplaceable while he can still play. The reason is, Ronaldo's role is definitely needed on Portugal's front lines. Apart from that, we already know that Ronaldo is a very ambitious figure so he definitely won't want to be replaced, especially if for example Portugal is in an unsafe situation.

This season Al Nasr has the opportunity to welcome a new goalkeeper from Juventus, this player is Wojciech Szczesny. This will certainly have a very good impact on Al Nasr, because so far Al Nasr has had problems in the defense line, including in the goalkeeping sector. So if Wojciech Szczesny succeeds in being brought in by Al Nasr, I am sure he can strengthen Al Nasr's defense. The reason is, Wojciech Szczesny's performance this season with Juventus can be said to be quite good. The reason is that in the 35 matches that Wojciech Szczesny played with Juventus, he only conceded 30 goals and managed to record 15 clean sheets.

Apart from that, from the news sources I read, Al Nasr is currently in talks with Juventus regarding Wojciech Szczesny. So I hope Wojciech Szczesny is successful in being brought in by Al Nasr, because of course next season Al Nasr cannot continue to hand over all the trophies to Al Hilal. Therefore, Al Nasr must get up and make the squad it has even better (especially its defense line).

It is is true that De Jong often suffers injuries, in fact he is currently suffering from an ankle injury and it is not yet known when he will be able to play again. This is certainly a bit detrimental to Barcelona, ​​because this season alone De Jong has only played in 20 matches in Laliga. So clearly this is not worth the price which is quite expensive. Therefore, if Barcelona sells De Jong, maybe that could be an option. Because there is no point in Barcelona having expensive players who often suffer injuries. Although, if you look at De Jong's performance at Barcelona, ​​it could be said to be quite good, because even though he didn't play much this season due to injury, he was able to score 2 goals for Barcelona. .

So if only De Jong didn't get injured too often, maybe he could be a very good player. However, what can happen to his talent being hampered because of the injuries he often experiences. Therefore, currently Barcelona must definitely think about the best solution regarding De Jong. Will it be maintained or will it be sold? In fact, if Barcelona doesn't want to be too complicated, maybe selling De Jong is a better choice. Because if Barcelona retains De Jong, Barcelona will definitely have to continue to spend money on De Jong's treatment. Besides, the worst possibility is that when De Jong recovers, he
could re-injure again. Because of course De Jong is still prone to injury again, even though he has recovered from his current injury.

So in essence Barcelona would be better off selling De Jong and looking for another player instead.

De Rossi was appointed as Roma coach in the middle of this season. Since then, Roma has developed much better than when Mourinho was still coaching. So with this quite good development, there is no need to doubt De Rossi. The reason is that even though he has only trained Roma for a short time, the results Roma has obtained can be said to have exceeded expectations. So for next season I am sure De Rossi will definitely make Roma an even better team. Because of course next season De Rossi will really be total in developing his strategy and also his players. Maybe in this season's transfer market De Rossi will bring in several players to make Roma a team that is strong in defense and also sharp in attack. Because the players that Roma currently has are definitely the players chosen by Mourinho, so it is certain that De Rossi will have a little difficulty in creating a strategy that suits his own style.

Although it is true that currently Roma does not have large enough finances to be able to bring in players who really have big names. But this is not an obstacle, because De Rossi can bring in young players to be the solution. Because I believe De Rossi is a typical coach who can make the team develop in various ways. So basically there is no need to doubt De Rossi, because if for example Roma forces Mourinho to remain in the coaching chair, I am sure Roma will not get results as good as they are now. Being able to finish in 5th place in Serie A, which was previously in the middle of the standings, could be said to be quite a good and significant development. So if you look at these developments, I am sure that next season Roma will definitely be a very prominent Serie A title challenger.

It is true that in his first season Ten Hag could be said to have been quite successful in bringing Manchester United to finish in 3rd place. However, Manchester United management certainly does not look back, what they definitely look at is current achievements and what the prospects are for the future. So, of course, currently Manchester United management will also be a little confused about the decisions that will be taken regarding Ten Hag. The reason is that on the other hand, Ten Hag has a bad record in the Premier League and on the other hand, Ten Hag was successful in bringing Manchester United the FA trophy. So basically Manchester United management will definitely be filled with doubts. Several news media even said that Ten Hag would continue to coach Manchester United at least until next season.

I don't know for sure whether the news is true or not. But if Ten Hag is trusted again by Manchester United management, then maybe this isn't such a bad idea. Because if you think more deeply, it is certain that finding a new coach will also be a little difficult.

This friendly match is just a trial and of course only used as research material for the coaches to be able to determine the right strategy when the actual competition starts (Euro). So it's true, we can't measure a team's ability just from friendly matches. The reason is, friendly matches can be used as an opportunity to trick your opponent into not being able to read his playing style. So it is not surprising that in friendly matches ahead of Euro 2024, there are leading countries that experience defeats or draws against countries that are not very strong. For example, England lost against Iceland and France drew against Canada.

In fact, as we know, England and France have many very great players at the moment. If you think about it logically, it doesn't make sense that England and France could lose or draw against a country that is not very strong. But as I said, all of this could be a strategy used to trick his opponents at the Euros. Because it is true, if we compare the countries currently entering the Euro, England and France have a very big chance compared to other countries to win this edition of the Euro.

But even so, the friendly match was still very interesting to watch. And today there are also several countries that will compete, and I think I will watch one of those matches.

Yes, it took quite a long time to make the Saudi Arabian League a destination for young players from Europe. The reason is that currently young players from Europe also certainly have dreams of playing for big clubs in Europe. This aims to get trophies such as the Champions League. So in my opinion this will be a big obstacle for the Saudi Arabian League to develop and could become an interesting league for young players from Europe to join. Because currently the attraction offered by the Saudi Arabian League is only limited to salaries or contracts with large amounts of money. And as Arenga Pinnata said, only European players who are old enough are willing to accept the offer. So one way that might be effective is that the Saudi Arabian League also needs to create a prestigious competition that can attract young European players to want to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

But still, it wasn't as easy as said. The reason is, Europe has long been the mecca of football and also the birthplace of very talented players. So it will definitely be very difficult to change this. So it's natural that there aren't any at the moment
Many European players are interested in playing in the Saudi Arabian League. It could even be that in this season's transfer market, there will be no or only a few European players joining Saudi Arabian League clubs. And regarding Joao Felix, he clearly refuses to play in the Saudi Arabian League. But if, for example, he is not included in Barcelona's list of players next season, maybe the Saudi Arabian League could be an option that he could choose for a while.

I also don't understand why Milan could be so reckless in choosing a coach. Even though this could make Milan unable to compete next season. Because as you said, in Serie A the competition is always tight every season. Apart from that, Pioli actually still deserves to continue serving as Milan coach. Even though this season Pioli failed to bring Milan to become Serie A champions, at least Pioli has provided quite good development for Milan. So I was quite surprised when I found out that Pioli was fired from Milan and would be replaced by Paulo Fonseca. I also don't understand why Milan was so quick to choose a coach, besides that the coach they chose could also be said to not be a coach who could be said to be quite successful in his coaching career. Because as far as I know, Paulo Fonseca currently serves as coach at Lille, and during his coaching period, Paulo Fonseca has never given Lille a truly prestigious trophy. Even since 2022, when Paulo Fonseca served as Lille coach, in the French League Lille has only been able to be in 5th or 4th position to date. However, the positive thing that Paulo Fonseca can give Lille might be winning a ticket to the Champions League.

So if Paulo Fonseca is compared to Pioli, the comparison is very far. But it can't be helped, Milan management's decision seems to be unanimous regarding this matter. So Milan fans have to accept that their favorite team will be coached by Paulo Fonseca next season. I hope that Paulo Fonseca can make Milan remain a team capable of competing for the Scudetto title next season, even though the possibility is small.

That's right, friend, even though Barcelona is currently experiencing quite a bad financial condition, we shouldn't underestimate Barcelona. The reason is, not only in this season's transfer market, Barcelona experienced financial difficulties, but in last season's transfer market, Barcelona also experienced the same thing. However, the proof is that even though Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties and difficulties with its existing players, this season Barcelona managed to finish in second place in La Liga and provide quite tough competition against Real Madrid. So next season we cannot conclude that Barcelona has no hope of being able to compete closely with Real Madrid, just because Real Madrid currently has Mbappe. Because the strength of a football team cannot of course be seen from just one player, but must be seen from all the existing players.

Although it is true, if you look at the squad that Real Madrid currently has, its performance will definitely be stronger than this season. However, Barcelona is also definitely thinking about how to anticipate this even though its financial condition is not good. Apart from that, speaking of Girona, their performance this season has really surprised us all. This is because the team has only been in Division 1 of La Liga for two seasons, but is a tough competitor to Real Madrid and Barcelona this season. And what was even more surprising was that Girona was able to finish in 3rd place and was able to win a ticket to the Champions League.

In essence, if you look at Girona's struggles this season, it is clear that any team should not be underestimated in Laliga. Especially if you underestimate Barcelona, ​​which is a very experienced team.

Yes, Ten Hag seems to still want to train Manchester United next week, because he feels he doesn't provide maximum prospects. However, in the last few seasons, we have seen Ten Hag having difficulty competing in the Premier League. This means that it gives us a very clear picture, that Ten Hag is not yet able to compete in a league at Premier League level. Therefore, it is natural that this week Manchester United decided to fire Ten Hag. Even though this season Ten Hag was able to bring Manchester United to win the FA Cup, this is not enough to prove that Manchester United is truly strong. The reason is, if you look at Manchester United's finishing ranking in the Premier League, they were only able to rank 8th in the standings. What a bad record, because in the previous season Manchester United was able to finish in 3rd place in the Premier League. This means that this season Manchester United has indeed experienced a very significant decline. So if, for example, Manchester United decides to fire Ten Hag, I think that decision must be accepted and realized by Ten Hag with an open heart. There is no need to feel upset about this decision. The point is that Ten Hag must be truly professional in responding to the decisions that Manchester United management will take. And the point is, Ten Hag should not give up because he failed at Manchester United. However, he must remain enthusiastic, because it could be that by moving to train to another club, his career will be much better.
