Dortmund vs Valencia: 1;3
Test match yesterday, Dortmund can't handle Valencia players and lost 1-3. when I look at statistics, Valencia almost controls the game with 60% ball position with only 4 shots on goal (3 of them with the goal). A new coach Gattuso is very confident using the 4-5-1 formation with the only use of 1 shadow attacker. I don't see Haller in Dortmund formation yet, Maybe because of the rumors of healthy, and I hope he gets recovery soon to restore Dortmund back.
Bayern are still struggling a little bit in this regard, and it is evident because indeed they are under more pressure in this match even though it was only a friendly match but obviously they are struggling a bit now. Their new signing Haller can't play for now and having to miss a game like this before the league is a shame. |

Kane is important for Spurs now and he is also very happy playing under Conte. There is no chance that Spurs are gonna allow this move and secondly I also think Kane is also ready for this move so he is gonna deny this as well. There are lot of strikers in the market and they still can find a good potential striker but yeah they have to build him which will take time.
Bayern didn't refuse the rumour about Kane joining them like they did with CR7 which is a good sign, however, Spurs as said, are building a stronger team and with Conte there, it is unlikely to accept letting his striker move this season. For Kane, I think he will not stress Spurs to let him go although I am pretty sure he will accept an offer from Bayern if done. To resume, Bayern won't made an offer imo, Spurs won't let him go mostly, so I suppose the case is closed  Even in this case it is clearly said that Oliver Kahn actually wants to bring Kane because he is considered the ideal person to replace Lewa according to him. But for Kane's offer, it might be a little more complicated if we look at the case from Manchester City. Tottenham clearly want to build a decent club for next season and Kane is one of the many players who are helping to achieve Tottenham's goals. |

I also think that Depay wouldn't have much chance in the starting eleven anymore. He played as a centre-forward most of the time in the previous season. However Lewandowski is here now and it is too difficult for Depay to have so many chances in big tournaments especially. As a result it would be much better for him to leave the team before the transfer window ends. Tottenham are very interested in a deal so I expect Barcelona to benefit from this opportunity to sell him.
He has to move now because if he insists he will only be on the bench all season I think. He will not get any place even if his respect is high. With the small salary he has received and the lack of hours there is what has to be done for Depay there because when he leaves I think he will find something good again for his season. |

tottenham hotspurs have confirmed the signing of fc middlesbrough defender Djed Spence on a 5-year deal
the transfer fee amounts to almost €15 million... plus various bonus payments
Tottenham hotspurs have really done good trying to improve the squad. It's not so easy getting up to five talented players in one window and Tottenham have gone against odds to pull some deals their way this summer. Djed Spence to Tottenham is a good deal, he is young, physical, has a fantastic successful tackle rate and will be a signing for Spurs on the right side of the defense. Arsenal also had interest in the player but Spurs were able to get him to sign so it's good news for them. Hopefully,he will bring the kind of quality they have been seeking for in that position. This season it looks like Tottenham are looking to make something big at their club especially with their re-entry into the Champions League so they are constantly adding to the quality of their current players. This is a step that is actually brave and might be reckless in my opinion considering that no matter how hard they are, it will still be difficult to be at a higher level, unless they still want to be in the big 4. |

But until now I haven't seen any movement from Bayern Munich and they still stick to their belief that they don't need Ronaldo for their current squad.
His presence would be great but of course in this case Bayern know what to do and when they don't need Ronaldo then there will be no deal there.
Bayern have lost Lewandowski who is an important player up front, but it doesn't look like they are in too much of a hurry to sign another striker because now Bayern Munich have Sadio Mane, indeed Ronaldo future at Manchester is currently unclear but it looks Bayern Munich is not have a desire to sign ronaldo as a replacement for lewandowski, even if later bayern munchen want to find another striker I think they will look for a young striker who has potential and can be a back up for Sadio Mane. Now, rather than Ronaldo they would rather open up options for Kane in the quest to replace Lewa in attack. I saw some statements from Oliver kahn who said that Kane was the ideal person there and I also thought the same thing because at this time even though Kane's performance this season has decreased a little but he still deserves it. |

Currently, this is also true. Azpilicueta is showing a little too much respect for the club. If he wants to move, he should just move.
Agree with what you said, Azpilicueta thinks too much about what will happen to Chelsea in the future even though if we look at it actually he has wanted to move clubs from the previous transfer but until now he still hasn't made any decisions. I think he needs to be a bit more assertive now because regardless he is still very good at playing and even if he wants to move I'm pretty sure there will be lots of big clubs to accommodate him. |

Manchester United have agreed with Ajax for the transfer of Argentinian defender Lisandro Martinez. They will pay a transfer fee of 67 million Euro. A five-year contract will be signed.
They put the defense in safe hands. They no longer have to play with the time bomb like Harry Maguire. This may be the best transfer the Red Devils have made this year.
In this case I see something else because now that Lisandro Martinez is there the chances for Varane are slim now. Apart from his not-so-good performance, Varane is also experiencing more problems in his legs at this time and indirectly when Martinez arrives, his little chance is getting smaller. Maguire doesn't seem to be bothered although I don't really like this because if I'm not mistaken Ten Hag will still give him the title of captain. |

It is not easy to make a prediction about the winner of the league title next season. At least it is hard to have a clear prediction. We need to see some matches first to be able to observe the conditions of the teams. However I can already say that Real Madrid and Barcelona are going to be the closest teams to the title. Barcelona are in a way better condition now so this makes me think like they will be very competitive for being the champions.
What you say is true but you also apart from paying attention to the condition of the players you also have to pay attention to the financial side. Barcelona is currently good enough? From a player standpoint it may be true that Barcelona have a good squad depth at the moment but in financial terms this is an issue that is still thorny for them. This competition runs for one season and this means that apart from watching the matches they also have to look at the financial condition because players also have to be paid and one season is not a short time. From this alone we can conclude a few predictions about Madrid being seeded. |

the fact that Juventus, it seems, has given up on
- Chiellini
- Bonucci
effectively puts the team in a defensive emergency situation
remember, Juventus generally plays 3-5-2
you need a solid defense and wings that run
They still believe in De Ligt at the moment, even though if we look at De Ligt now his position is not safe. They have already lost Chielini this season and it is very likely that De Ligt will leave too. They need a really tough defender now and they still don't have any steps, whether they are currently going to use the remaining defenders as a starting line-up or indeed they don't care about this I think this is a risk for Juventus. |

I don't think that Lewandoski will be replaced by Ronaldo, Ronaldo is too old and can't guarantee any kind of future for a team like Bayern, that's why they has bought Mane, at the moment I've starting to understand why
of this move, he will be the future of this team probably, but they also need anyway to enforce his attack, Lewandoski is an outsider and it wouldn't be so easy to replace it.
They have to replace the player, but usually they only have to replace the goals he scored each season. That was +40 goals with all the games. If they can do that with 2 players, then they have reached the goal. I'm glad that is finally done, again and again because of one person. Now at Bayern 2 great players should take over his part and they are also so successful. But until now I haven't seen any movement from Bayern Munich and they still stick to their belief that they don't need Ronaldo for their current squad. His presence would be great but of course in this case Bayern know what to do and when they don't need Ronaldo then there will be no deal there. |

I know that Ronaldo is older. But Ronaldo's fitness is still good enough. So it can be assumed that Ronaldo will be able to play well for at least the next two seasons. And right now, Bayern Munich's target is next season's Champions League title. Bayern Munich has already invested a lot of money in buying players for this. And so they will not rely solely on Sadio Mane to attack next season. They need another experienced player.
Even though this seems forced if it continues to be discussed considering the statements from MU and Ten Hag that will not let Ronaldo go and Bayern have refused to bring him to the Bundesliga but it seems that when Lewandowski leaves it is possible that this might still happen now. The reason behind Bayern not wanting Ronaldo was Lewandowski but now Lewandowski is really leaving and it will be good to see how he develops. |

My big curiosity is anyway to see how he will adapt his game to Lewandoski, I think that this year at this point Barça could seriosuly compete against Real Madrid !
This season Xavi Hernandez's capacity as a coach will be tested, the selection of player materials and preparation is very thorough, the arrival of Lewandowski and Rapinha will make Barcelona's attack line more varied and strong, we'll see how far this season Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid. I would say Barcelona has the strongest attacking lineup in La Liga right now. They are stronger than Real Madrid. Lewandowski is a very experienced player. At the same time, Raphinha and Fati is young talented player. Moreover, Aubameyang, Torres and Dembele are all talented. Barcelona now has a lot of strikers. I look forward to seeing Xavi's formation in the next season. This is honestly too much for Barcelona. The good thing is they are bringing in Lewandowski now which in fact in this case a few hours ago I had doubts Barcelona would be able to bring in Lewandowski but I was wrong because indeed he could be at the Camp Nou soon. But in this case it's actually still not a guarantee that they can be stronger now. I know and am very aware that indeed Lewandowski is a great player but his productivity has only been tested at Bayern and there could be two possibilities for his productivity in La Liga in the future. |

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem likely to join Manchester United according to latest news. Because it is said that Barcelona have added him to their squad for their tour also. This must be meaning that they are willing to keep him at the team. On the other hand there are some rumours like two sides have reached an agreement about a deal like €75m + €10m bonus. I really don't know what to believe now.  Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess. I find it difficult to say this now especially with the news that is currently gray because there are several versions at the moment namely the first is Barcelona who will arrest De Jong but for the others I read also the news that Barcelona and Manchester United are in full agreement and just complete the transfer of De Jong. It's clearly going to be gray especially there's nothing that can really be confirmed right now. |

According to one news portal, Matthijs de Ligt has accepted Bayern Munich's offer but as before, Juventus do want a high price for this player. A club as big as Bayern Munich will basically have no trouble fulfilling Juventus' wishes. Moreover, Bayern Munich will also get fresh funds after releasing Lewandowski. That way, Matthijs de Ligt's transfer transaction will only wait for time, just imagine that Barcelona, which is in financial difficulty, finally managed to recruit Lewandowski after long negotiations. So, in the case of Matthijs de Ligt, Bayern Munich is only trying to get a lower price to reduce spending, but in the end this transaction will certainly be completed as well.
Try to use keyword with De Ligt to Bayern Munich but not find anything with new update except news last three days, I think looks not have chance with de Ligt move to Bayern Munich for next season, according still not any confirmed yet from Juventus and believe with de Ligt keep stay with Juventus for next season. Looking with central defender position, Juventus not have many option if try sell de Ligt to Bayern Munich, have loss Chiellini last season and not extended contract I think bad choose if ty selling de Ligt, Juventus failed to get Koulibaly sign and looks not trying to sell de Ligt before getting who will replace position leaving. The price set by Juventus is indeed too high so it is quite difficult to see De Ligt moving in realization at this time. But actually Juventus can still release De Ligt but the price they apply clearly exceeds the expectations of Bayern for now. In the end it's like you said it all goes back to gray and the possibility of a transfer here won't happen. |

I don't understand what you are saying with so many options for Ronaldo at the moment who is struggling to find a new club.
Now Manchester United are starting to act and will not let any club bring Ronaldo and the clubs you mentioned like Bayern didn't even have an interest in Ronaldo from the start and that was confirmed directly by the top brass there.
Ronaldo is a very great player no doubt and he has the ability to play well in any team he finds himself and moreover he is very hardworking. It many coaches are afraid to get him for technical reasons. But for business wise it will be a good business. This maybe because for a start, money from sales of Jersey and increased match viewing time would be able to maintain Ronaldo, but if these money sources reduce, maintaining Ronaldo would be expensive. Again, Ronaldo is a big fish and his presence could spoil or alter the ecosystem of any club. If I were coach, I wouldn't be so fast to go for Ronaldo at his age. In this case, when referring to business, I quite agree but for now there are some things that can't be avoided, such as when some policies that can't be denied even if it's for Ronaldo or what we know Ronaldo also doesn't pay much attention to big business for football because the target always comes first. But with things like that it doesn't rule out business and indeed Ronaldo is one of the players who will definitely provide many benefits for the club in terms of finances |

now Ronaldo has many choices, there are several top European teams who want him like Chelsea and Bayern but no agreement has yet been made, if Ronaldo stays at Manchester United it is because of his own will and because of his love for Manchester United even though this team does not play in the Champions League stage next season , and I still believe that next season Ronaldo will be able to do better at Manchester United under the tutelage of coach Erik ten Hag.

The fact is that this kind of arrangement will always happen in some minor leagues maybe even in different parts of the world there is always something like this.
Indeed, in this case it clearly tarnishes sportsmanship but on the other hand there are some interests that they get.
Believe it or not a small league like this is always full of games and drama and not only there but in almost every small game like this there is always a lot of drama

For the World Cup title, I wonder how much Brazil and Argentina are going to determined. I have a big expectation from Brazil especially. They have started to impress me quite a lot. They have one of the best squads in this tournament. The thing they need the most is having a solid game plan for the biggest tournament in the world. It would be nice to see them in the final playing against a European team for the title.
In this World Cup, it is clear that Brazil is one of the favorite countries again after several times they have always been excluded. Their performance was absolutely insane in the qualifiers which made them the top seed and I also actually give high hopes to Brazil considering that with their current players the performance they aim for in the qualifiers will add to their popularity in the title contenders. |

I just realized that for the first time there were six teams from Asia (AFC) who managed to advance to the world cup. I think this is new history. I have high hopes for South Korea and Japan in this world cup. although the real challenge will definitely be felt for Korea and Japan because considering Qatar is a pretty hot country so I hope it won't be a problem. even some of my brothers who work in qatar say it's so hot there even at work there is someone who installs air conditioning outside the room. This will definitely be a challenge for a team from a country that has cold temperatures.
I dont think Asian teams can do something on this world cup they just dont have that quality. Maybe they can advance the group somehow but thats the max i see from them. I still dont see how players will survive the hot weather in Qatar on world cup But at least having them at the World Cup will definitely boost some of their players, which is actually quite doable considering that when we talk about big leagues, it's actually very rare to have players from Asia, even if there are only counting fingers. With their participation in the world cup, although it is indeed very difficult to compete, this will be more leverage for some players because all eyes will surely be on this big event which does not rule out some surprises in it. |

ajax amsterdam has signed a new left-back. according to the dutch serial champion, Owen Wijndal is moving from az alkmaar to the champions league participant for €10 million. in amsterdam, O. Wijndal receives a five-year contract until summer 2027. at alkmaar OW still had a contract until 2024 and made 30 league games last season.
This is a pretty good and surprising thing in my opinion about the transfer of O. Wijndal although indeed they also have to think about the midfield at this time which still has holes in it when some of their players leave in this market. With him, at least Ajax's back line is now starting to no doubt make a comeback in the Eredivisie next season. |
