In the first Test against New Zealand, Bangladesh were bowled out for 310 runs in the first innings and when New Zealand returned to bat in the second innings, Bangladesh bowled New Zealand out for 317 runs. In other words, New Zealand ended the first innings with a lead of just seven runs. At the end of the first two innings, there was no chance to put the two teams much ahead or behind as the game between the two teams was almost evenly matched. In the second innings, Bangladesh again went into bat where Bangladesh collected six runs without a wicket in the second innings. Bangladesh scored 310 runs in the first innings, Bangladesh must score more runs in the second innings because New Zealand batsmen must perform better in the second innings than in the first innings.
New Zealand batted well enough. They managed to take a lead of 7 runs. I thought the team would lose all wickets before 300. The team was able to collect 317 runs with the help of captain Tim Southee's 35 runs. Mominul Haque picked up three wickets for just 4 runs. Since the pitch is completely bowling friendly, if Bangladesh can score more than 300 in the second innings, they have a chance to win. Because it is very difficult to bat in the second innings on this pitch. Bangladesh's two openers are batting very carefully. Bangladesh collected 14 runs without losing any wicket in 7 overs. I expect at least 50 runs from the first wicket pair. |

Athletic Bilbao didn't dominate possession of the ball in this match, but they were able to take advantage of the opportunities from the counter-attacks they carried out. It was recorded that of the 13 total shots they had, 6 of them were shots on goal, even though they did not have enough possession, that's a little confusing to me. I have to say that Girona was quite lucky in this match because Athletic Bilbao couldn't get 3 points at the end.
Athletic stood out more in the first half, with the clearest chances, although they wouldn't find the goal until the second half after persistent efforts. The Girona quickly reacted after the home team's goal; although Girona took time to generate clear opportunities, they gradually increased their pace and had better accuracy, with their only shot on goal in the second half resulting in a goal. I think the draw is fair for both teams. Girona, although losing the lead due to goal difference compared to Real Madrid, doesn't diminish their impressive season. They maintain a +4 point lead over Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Is this the point when Girona is going to start to fall off? They had been performing really well so far. And they are definitely one of the best performers so far in this season. But now they have just given Real Madrid the edge that Real Madrid probably needed. At the same time, Atletico Madrid is playing really well. They are already ahead of Barcelona with having one match in hand. so now they have just increased the competition a lot for themselves. So now it is going to be interesting to see if they can still stay at the top of the competition. |

Reportedly Al-Ettifaq is planning David De Gea's move to the Saudi league and of course they will have a great goalkeeper to start in the middle of the season. Previously there were rumors that David De Gea would not go to the Saudi league because his wife did not agree to the move and it was possible that David De Gea would be closer to joining Inter Miami in MLS. But things can still change and the player's decision will be the determining factor in this transfer. Even though it is still in the trying stage for Al-Ettfaq to bring in David De Gea, it is certain that the popularity of the Saudi league will increase even more with the arrival of European players. Source: https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1729644087064801655On the stock exchange last summer, De Gea rejected the offer from Al-Nassr. But I don't know whether now he will also reject the offer from Al-ettifaq or not. Because after he was released from Manchester United, De Gea is still a free transfer until now. And it seems that there are no or not many European clubs interested in bringing in De Gea. Maybe he is no longer young because he is already 33 years old. But actually, in terms of performance, he is still good. De Gea's poor performance last season at Manchester United was because Man United's back line was also quite bad. So, Onana, who was brought in from Inter Milan, actually looked bad when he was Man United's goalkeeper. I personally hope De Gea goes to the SPL rather than MLS. But let's see what's next. And actually Al-ettifaq, who is now under the care of Steven Gerrard, is good enough to be De Gea's next goal. But I doubt he will accept it. In fact, if De Gea goes to the SPL, I'm sure he will find his popularity again here. A lot of clubs indirectly expressed the feeling that they were not interested in De Gea. That is really sad in my opinion because I think he is a great goalkeeper and he still has good qualities. He can still give a lot to the team that he will go to. But since the European clubs are not very interested in him, I think the only option he has to be honest is to go to the Saudi League. He will get a huge amount of money for going there and he will also be able to play as the main goalkeeper of a club. I don't think he's going to get the luxury of being the first goalkeeper of a big European club anymore, to be honest. |

op After you become an Indian you don't have to feel ashamed because of the social media posts of people from your country. Because 2023 World Cup India has performed exceptionally well. Maybe they could not become the world champions of 2023. But Rohit Sharma's team played very well. Especially Virat Kohli, he is one of my favorite players. Virat Kohli was in great form in World Cup 2023. He has occupied the top spot among batsmen in World Cup 2023. Honestly only I feel bad for Virat Kohli. Because this is his last World Cup but he could not become the 2023 World Cup champion. Maybe no one can take the place of Sachin Tendulkar. Undoubtedly, Tendulkar is a decent player. But if anyone has stayed in India after Tendulkar, it is undoubtedly Virat Kohli. King Kohli is a good quality player but there will be some anger. If I were you, I would certainly be very proud of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
LOL... you are comparing Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar. IMO, you can't do that. There is no apple to apple comparison, as Virat and Sachin played in different eras. Sachin had to face very tough bowlers such as McGrath, Warne, Muralitharan, Donald, Pollock, Walsh, Akram, Akhtar and Bond. Today's bowlers are more or less emasculated and this makes the scoring much easier. And the behavior off the field can't be compared as well. Sachin was a thorough gentleman, while Virat always behaves like a monkey when things doesn't go his way. I actually agree with you that the bowlers have definitely become emasculated compared to the generation that we saw growing up. But at the same time you also cannot deny that in this day and age, everything is easier for batsmen. There was a time when you could have many more players outside the 30-yard circle. And the bowlers also had a good chance to try out a lot of things. But now they are bowling a really good short ball and that is disappearing for a six behind the wicket-keeper and the batsmen didn't even time the ball. But anyway, it is definitely not the right thing to compare Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar. And the reason anyone should not feel bad watching the social media post is because social media is full of degenerates. |

@Leviathan. 007 Brazil should be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Italy otherwise in coming year’s they’ll be absent from the World Cup and personally I never got over the news of Italy missing out hence can’t see a World Cup without Brazil ever. Furthermore the gap exists because Brazil player’s play in important leagues and if other countries want to close the gap they need to try and get their player’s to play in big leagues to gain much needed exposure.
There is only a remote chance that Brazil will miss qualification. Because from this time onwards CONMEBOL is being allotted a total of 6.5 spots in the world cup. So out of 10 teams participating in the qualifiers, 6 will get direct qualification based on their standing in points table, while the 7th ranked team need to take part in Inter-confederation play-offs. At this point, Brazil is at 6th position. And I am sure that they will improve their position once the tournament restarts by September 2024. But there is no room for complacency. All of the participating teams are very strong in CONMEBOL. I think Brazil is capable of performing better compared to what they have been doing. I also think that so far they have been facing pretty decent opponents as well. No, I do not think Brazil is going to miss the World Cup. But you never know. Something crazy might happen. People also did not expect Italy to miss the World Cup. But they did. I am not saying that Brazil is going to miss the World Cup. But there is definitely a chance for back to happen. Even though the chance is very small. And I absolutely agree with you that there is no chance for complacency. |

Bangladesh had a good start to the first day of the first Test series against New Zealand vs Bangladesh today. Mahmudul Hasan and Shanto formed a good partnership, watching their game at one point it seemed that Bangladesh-New Zealand could give a big target. Bangladesh is in a rush for wickets. He is playing a test game, but the way Nazmul Hossain Shanto batted, it seems that he is playing T20. If he had batted with a little patience, maybe Nazmul Hasan would have seen a peaceful century. At the same time, the score of Bangladesh would have been a little bigger. The Bangladesh team was under a lot of pressure after the tea break with the loss of a pair of 2 wickets. It was Mushfiqur Rahim's responsibility to release the team from pressure but Mushfiqur Rahim made the same mistake while picking up the ball and Mushfiqur Rahim got out.
Bangladesh all out on 310 in session 1 of 2nd day only mahmudul hassan played 86 runs. What a brilliant bowling by Glenn phillips takes 4 wickets. Jamieson and ijez patel takes 2, 2 wickets. New Zealand are on the way 35 without lose of any wicket. Nz batting line up very strong there top order batsman put up the pressure on BAN today if they trail by 275 runs and lead some runs pressure will be on Bangladesh because BAN bowling line up is average not so good They need to takes wickets of their openers In the first Test match of the Bangladesh vs New Zealand Test series, Bangladesh won the toss and batted for 310 Rune is all out. The batsmen of Bangladesh could not perform well, except Mahmudul Hasan Joy, no other batsman could score fifty runs. Najmul Hossain Shanto's batting style was similar to ODI format, he should have batted patiently. I expected a good performance from Bangladesh at home, but Bangladesh could not give a lead of enough runs. Against a strong New Zealand team, Bangladesh would have done well to score 400+ runs. But Bangladesh were all out for just 310 runs. New Zealand scored 62 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 19 overs. Tom Latham was out for 21 runs, Devon Conway was out for 12 runs. New Zealand's first wicket fell in Taijul Islam's first over, Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 1 wicket. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can bowl out New Zealand. Bangladesh's batting order is weak as usual. They can't bat well in this match either. I expected big innings from Mushfiq and Mumunil. But Mominul scored 37 and Mushfiqur scored only 12 runs. However if the bowlers are able to perform well now, the match might be competitive. However, Bangladesh's defeat against New Zealand is more likely. After losing two wickets for 44 runs, now New Zealand's collection is 78 runs. Williamson and Henry Nicholls batting responsibly. I think one of these two batsmen will score a century. |

I think, Bayern Munich stand on a solid ground to maintain the top to lead in this group A, because they are capable to achieve victory from FC Copenhagen in this match to make their fans believe that they have what it takes to be among the teams that will qualify for this champions league competition. Manchester united results are very poor in this group A, which it will make them not to be among the teams that will qualify from this group A, because their position is very low. Galatasaray will use this Manchester united result in this group A, to fight them, and they will embrace victory at the end of the match.
I have no doubt that Bayern Munich will continue their winning streak, unless they are very unlucky. They have won all four matches in the Champions League. Copenhagen is not a strong team. Moreover, it is Bayern Munich's home match. So Munich is very unlikely to lose points in this match. Manchester United's performance is poor. The bond between the players is not good. Manchester United lost three out of four matches. An away match against Galatasaray is more difficult for United to win. I think this match is more likely to be a draw. Munich and Galatasaray from Group A are more likely to qualify for the knockout rounds. |

Australia beat India by 5 wickets due to Maxwell's batting rampage. With this win, Australia's series continued. Batting first against the target of 223 runs given by India, the Australian team did not make a good run in the beginning. Tried to form a partnership with Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head. But Travis Head got out for just 35 runs. After the head out, the Australian team was again under some pressure in batting. But where there is a player like Maxwell there is no such thing as pressure. Maxwell bats brilliantly. Great batting brought victory to his team. Maxwell is unbeaten on 104 off 47 balls.
Maxwell is the only reason why Australia won this match. 43 runs were needed of the last 12 balls, and the Indian bowlers as well as fielders were getting very complacent. Surya dropped Maxwell in the 18th over. Maxwell took advantage of this situation, and Matthew Wade provided him good support from the other end. Indiscipline didn't helped either. Axar Patel was very wayward during the 19th over, which conceded 22 runs. And then Prasidh Krishna had a breakdown during the final over as Maxwell smashed him all over the park. This match was full of excitement. No one thought that India would give such a big target. Because India's batting was quite slow from the beginning of the innings. India scored only 80 runs in the first 10 overs. The interesting thing is that India collected 67 runs in the last 3 overs. They collect more than 22 runs per over. It was unthinkable that Australia would win after being given a big target of 223. Due to Maxwell's responsible and aggressive batting, Australia eventually won. Australia's victory in this match was impossible if Maxwell could not survive at the crease. Also Indian bowler Prasidh KRishna bowled very badly. He gave 68 runs in 4 overs. He scored an average of 17 runs per over. Prasidh doesn't seem to get a chance in the Indian T20 squad. |

Darmstadt and Köln will start the next matchday at Friday with their game against each other. A win is important for both teams. Köln started last season well and ended up in the midfield of the table. This season has been a disaster so far and we will probably see a new coach here soon. Torsten Lieberknecht has the same risk as coach with Darmstadt. If I look at the last few games the trend in Köln is a little better. Nevertheless, I will not be betting on this game.
Both Darmstadt and Koln are now in very bad shape. They are not playing well. And both teams are likely to be in the relegation zone. And so getting 3 points from this match is very important for both teams. Koln have won just one match this season and Darmstadt have won two. This is Darmstadt's home match. Darmstadt have also shared points with Freiburg and Mainz in their last two matches. Some stability has come to the performance of the Darmstadt team. This is why I consider Darmstadt as the favorite against Koln. Hope to see the Darmstadt team win against Koln. |

I had doubts about this Lyon - Lille match also. Because I thought maybe that win over Rennes would fire up Lyon players a little bit to get at least one point. But Lille finished the match in the first half already unlike my expectation.  Lille is expected to win although they were playing away. Lyon is very weak this season and even though they woke up a bit and collected 4 points in the previous two rounds, they ended up losing and they will continue to lose probably vs Lens next and Marseille later. They have to win vs Toulouse before losing vs Monaco in the games following the previous ones. It is a hard situation they are dealing with and relegation probability will remain high if they will not improve the team.. Winning this game against Lyon was not a lot for Lille and I think couldn't have the good performance I was expecting to see from Lille. Lille was usually racing at top side of the French League, I think Lyon is a team that helps the other team to get some points even if they are not playing well enough to win the match. The Lyon team has suffered a terrible decline this season. The team is at the bottom of the table. It was already predicted that Lille would win against Lyon. And a pretty easy win for Lille. Lille won the away match 2-0. Lyon's only target is to get out of the relegation zone. As Lyon are performing badly, it is not certain whether the team will be able to get out of the relegation zone. Out of 12 matches they have won only one match. And this team is at the last position of the points table. Lyon are still 5 points behind the 15th-placed team in the table. It will not be possible for Lyon to reduce this 5 point gap with such a poor performance. |

I am not sure for how long Taijul Islam and Shoriful Islam will be able to bat, but I don't expect Bangladesh to make a total of more than 320-330. Even this total can be formidable, given the spin-friendly conditions. For New Zealand, the full-time spinners (Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi) failed to do their job, but I am sure that the Bangladeshi bowlers will not be repeating the same mistake.
Taijul Islam has the ability to play for a long time, while Shoriful doesn't have it. However, it is the last wicket for Bangladesh. I think New Zealand bowlers will pick it early on day two. New Zealand is playing with a strong batting lineup. The 320-330 runs won't be a big deal for them. Miraz or Taijul may create pressure with their bowling, but I expect New Zealand to take a good lead in the first innings. Earlier only one test match was held at this stadium in Sylhet. So I did not get any statistics about the pitch. However, none of the pitches in Bangladesh are batting friendly. Most pitches help spin bowlers. At the end of the first day, Bangladesh managed to collect 310 runs. It is not a very big collection. But if the spin bowlers of Bangladesh can do well then they have a chance to fight. If Shakib was with the squad, Bangladesh's bowling attack would have been a bit stronger. If the spin bowlers don't do well then I would say New Zealand will take a lead of at least 180-200 runs in this match. |

India vs Australia
The third match of Australia vs India T20 series has started. Like the second match, Australia won the toss and decided to bowl. Today's match is very important for Australia, because if Australia lose today, the series will be lost. On the other hand, if India can win today's match, then the series will be won. Both teams will try to do well today. We saw that Australia scored 200 plus runs in the first match and scored 191 runs in the 2nd match. I think India need to score 200+ runs to win. Yashasvi Jaiswal batted brilliantly in the 3rd match, but got out today for 6 runs off just 6 balls. India have so far scored 14 runs for 1 wicket in 1.2 overs. Let's see how many runs India manage to target today.
Indian has show thier dominance in recent previous match and that make them more confident but today things will be more difficult as it like deciding match of the series if India won. so start were quite horrible for indian team batters at 3rd T20 Match because they lose quick important wickets at early stage before scoring signficant runs which definitely put them under alot pressure but the way young guy Gaikward took charge played brilliantly by smashing fear less aggressive shots allow his team to recover and put himself on track to move on. While now Australian were in big trouble but the only hope which has ability to make a comeback and won the important match will be Maxwell which is still unbeaten on a crease. So now let see how he can safe his team form early series defeat. Raturaj Gaikwad batted brilliantly. He collected 123 runs off just 57 balls. Raturaj Gaikwad played an incredible innings. Also Suryakumar Yadav scored 39 and Tilak scored 31 runs. India team has given a huge target of 223 runs. It is very difficult for any team to win by batting against such a big target. The Australian team continued to fight. But their chances of winning are slim. At the end of 12 overs, Australia's batsmen collected 118 runs after losing 3 wickets. They need 105 off 48 balls to win. It is not impossible for a team like Australia. But it is a very difficult task. India's chances of winning are high. |

You are maybe right and Nice could perform better than this but the fact about the game between Toulouse and Nce is they got the full three points from the game and that's what they needed to get. I think Toulouse was not a strong team and Nice could win the game against this team even with a better result but Nice after this game remains in the second place of the table while there is only one point gap between them and PSG.  You are right that Toulouse is not a strong team so Nice winning is something they should get and if we say Nice is a good team it is actually not completely true because looking at Nice's goal statistics it is not special, they can only score an average of 1 goal per match but they got good results because their defense was the best defense because out of 13 they only conceded 4 goals, implementing a more defensive game is the key to Nice being in second place in the standings so far. It is very possible that when Nice faces a team that is strong in attack they will suffer their first defeat of the season, and when Nice suffers a defeat PSG will be more comfortable at the top of the standings. I thought Nice would lose points in this match. Toulouse was able to beat big teams like Liverpool. Their performance was very good. Even against Nice, Toulouse players played well. But they could not break Nice's strong defence. Nice's main strength is their defence. Besides, the performance of Nice cannot be called good. This is an average team. Nice conceded only 4 goals in 13 matches. And scored 14 goals. Such a strong defense is why Nice is second in the points table. Despite being second in the table, I don't think this team has the squad to win the title. |

Real Madrid's victory at Cadiz headquarters meant they managed to surpass Girona's points tally, the additional three points in this match brought Real Madrid to the top of the standings. Real Madrid's position is not yet safe because Girona has not yet played their 14th game. Girona, who was forced to drop to second place, will try to reclaim first place by trying to get an additional three points when they host Bilbao. As is known, Bilbao is not an easy opponent to beat, but Girona must perform well as they have in the previous few matches if they want to return to the top of the standings.
This was a convincing win for Real Madrid. They controlled the game from the start to the finish but Cádiz made some good attacking runs that made them have thirteen shots and four were on target. Rodrygo proved that he is dependable because he made the team not feel the absence of Vinicius Junior. He ensured that he pushed the attack and scored some good goals. Girona will welcome Athletic Club today and it will not be an easy game for Blanquivermells, but a win will make them maintain the top spot. Girona have won all of their past five games while Athletic Club have managed three wins in five games. Athletic club ended last season in eighth position so they are doing everything possible to feature in European competition this season. Girona is the toast of this season, after ending last season in tenth position, the City Football Group-backed club is aspiring to make history. Real Madrid's performance was quite good in this match, especially their front line which was a little doubtful due to the absence of Vinicius but Rodrygo was able to answer all those doubts but I don't think it should be overstated because Real Madrid only played against a team like Cádiz which if you look at the quality of the players In almost all respects the Cádiz team is far below the Real Madrid team, so this victory is very natural. Girona's match against Athletic Club is worth looking forward to, because now Griona is in the spotlight because surprisingly they are now leading the La Liga standings. If you look at the overall performance of the two teams since the start of the season, Girona should have no difficulty winning the match against Athletic Club. I am very interested about this match today. Girona are in great form. They are playing well and winning every match. Girona team will go to the top of the table if they beat Athletic Club in today's match. However the opponent Athletic Club is not a weak team. We have seen good performances from Athletic Club players in the last few matches. However, Athletic Club's defense is quite weak. If Athletic Club's defenders do well against Girona, they are likely to pick up points. However if the defense of Atheltic Bilbao is weak in this match, then the Girona team will get an easy win in today's match as well. |

In yesterday's second T20 match, a remarkable display was disclosed as three top-order batsmen achieved consecutive half-centuries. Ruturaj Gaikwad's innings stood out as he faced more deliveries to reach his fifty, showcasing resilience at the crease. On the other hand, Rinku Singh displayed versatility by reversing his usual batting role and contributing with the ball. Despite Australia's strong performance in the latter part of the match, their top-order batsmen struggled, ultimately leading to a 44-run defeat. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh's batting impressed me. Jaiswal scored 53 runs off 25 balls and Rinku scored 31 runs off just 9 balls. Also, every batsman in the Indian squad has batted very well in this match. The performance of Australia's bowlers was very poor in this match. Especially Sean Abbott gave 56 runs in 3 overs. After India set a target of 236 I was sure they would win. Despite having good batsmen in Australia's squad, it was much more difficult to score 236 runs to win. Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi bowled very well. India lead 2-0 in the series. I don't think India will have any problem to win the series. |

India vs Australia
India vs Australia 2nd T20 match will be played today. Although both teams performed well in the first match, the Australian team was defeated due to uncontrolled bowling. Travis Head, Maxwell and Adam Zampa were rested in Australia's squad for the previous match. However, Australia needs these three players in the squad if they want to win the series against India.
Australia team will try to play much better today as Australia lost the first T20I match. Although India won the first T20I match but the number of wickets fell was high, the Australian team is conscious of wicket-keeping. So Australia team is more likely to win today as India won by a narrow margin. If Australia team can bat well with bowling performance then I think Australia will definitely win today. In today's match there are many famous batting and bowling in Australia squad so in terms of good performance will perform best in Australia. If Australia management adds Travis Head, Adam Zampa and Maxwell in their squad today, I would say Australia will win today. But if they keep the previous squad unchanged, their chances of winning are slim. Australia management should add improved Adam Zampa and Maxwell to the squad. Because they did not have quality bowlers in their squad in the first match. So they were behind in the match from the beginning. Australia must add experienced bowlers to the squad in today's match. |

Manchester City was good in the first half because they managed to score a goal from Erling Haaland's kick, but when in the final minute Manchester City's defense seemed weak and Liverpool realized that, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to score a goal and in the end gave a draw. Manchester City at least had tried hard to maintain their defense. And finally, Arsenal reached the top of the standings because Manchester City failed to win the match against Liverpool.
Manchester City are held to a draw tie after their an incredible performance display at Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola seems dissapointed with that results because that was absolutely not the outcome he anticipated, rather he was looking forward for a win which the citizens was this very close to achieving their target but couldn't hold on much longer after Liverpool invaded their defendlines with long crucial passes and this time, Trent Alexander-Arnold didn't dissapoints, he successfully executed the ball right where he wanted and score the equalizing goal making it 1-1 on the scoresheet. Liverpool couldn't dominate the game due to the extreme counter attacks gained on the Reds side. Failure to achieve full points at home meant that Manchester City had to give up the top of the standings. Conditions like this clearly made Pep Guardiola very disappointed, but he must immediately forget about this result because the challenge will be even more difficult in the future. I see the Manchester City squad this season as being a little different, perhaps the loss of Kevin De Bruyne is the cause so that attack creativity has slowed down a bit. Unlike Liverpool, they were quite satisfied with the draw, but the match against Manchester City was a benchmark for Klopp in testing the strength of his squad. Manchester City have drawn against Chelsea and Liverpool in their last two matches. This is why the team lost the top spot in the table. Liverpool were very cautious in this match. They learned from the Chelsea vs City match. This is why they kept their defense very strong in this match. Liverpool's players did not try to attack too much. They played a defensive strategy in the first half. However, after going 1-0 down at the end of the first half, they made several good attacks in the second half. And Alexander Arnold's goal in the 80th minute leveled the match at 1-1. Liverpool are satisfied with 1 point in this match. Manchester City will play their next match against Tottenham. City are likely to lose points in this match as well. Manchester City will have to play very carefully in this match. |

I agree with you. I don't think the Leverkusen team is very strong. Leverkusen is a mediocre team. Yet the way the team has maintained consistency is admirable. And it was possible because of Xabi Alanso. He is an excellent coach. He has been able to create a strong bond between the team players. The players are also confident in every match. That's why we consistently see better performances from Leverkusen in every match. And even with a mediocre squad, the team is still managing to score a lot of goals. They scored 37 goals in 12 matches and won 11 matches. The team shares points with only Bayern Munich. Xabi Alanso has made it even harder for Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga this season.
We have tough teams in Bundesliga this season, I've enjoyed good moments watching these clubs play football. I have triggered few bets and also won slightly and massively from the system. We are no longer permitted to comment the word 'mediocre' towards Bayer Leverkusen because it's very important to classify them among the current best team in bundesliga this season. Xabi Alonso is doing a great job because it's not easy in the space of a year after appointment as headcoach, he have started improving the team's performance in all rounds and they're swiftly topping the table with streak unbeaten runs. I called Leverkusen a mediocre team considering the squad. I know their performance and gameplay are great. And watched most of Leverkusen's matches. The performance of the players is very good. However, they do not have any star players in their squad like Bayern Munich. That's why I called the team mediocre. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are fighting for the title, the Stuttgart team is little behind. I would have been happy if the Dortmund team had not fallen behind in the title race. Then the Bundesliga would have become more crowded. Dortmund team is 10 points behind Leverkusen. |

India vs Australia
India vs Australia 2nd T20 match will be played today. Although both teams performed well in the first match, the Australian team was defeated due to uncontrolled bowling. Travis Head, Maxwell and Adam Zampa were rested in Australia's squad for the previous match. However, Australia needs these three players in the squad if they want to win the series against India.
The performance of the Australian bowlers in the first match was not good. They took wickets but gave away a lot of runs. It is very important for Australia to keep Adam Zampa in the squad for today's match. Also, having an all-rounder like Maxwell in the squad will give Australia an extra advantage both in batting and bowling.
You can’t completely blame the bowlers for the loss. It was a batting pitch and small stadium, so 200+ runs were obvious on both the sides while batting. You need to praise Mukesh Kumar’s 20th over, which changed the whole match’s result in the first innings. When players were conceding 15+ runs in each over, he just gave 5 runs in that 20th over. So I don’t have any complaints against Aussie Bowlers. Today the match will be very interesting. I think Maxwell, Head and Zampa will also be given rest today. Let’s see who wins today’s match. It is true that Mukesh Kumar bowled brilliantly in the end. But I will definitely blame the Australian bowlers for Australia's defeat. Because the Australian batsmen collected 83 runs in the first 10 overs. On the other hand, Indian batsmen collected 106 runs in 10 overs. They were able to collect 23 runs more than Australia. From the start of the innings, the Australian bowlers gave a lot of runs. Due to this, the match was not under the control of the Australian bowlers at the end. Since India managed to collect runs quickly at the beginning of the innings, the team did not face much trouble even after losing wickets. |

Xabi Alonso has transformed their style of play and instilled a winning mentality into Bayer Leverkusen squad. This is a significant impact from a manager to any team need . Their recent success in the Europa League is a testament to his coaching abilities. It will indeed be an intriguing matchup when they face Liverpool, Alonso's former club, in the Europa League. Xabi Alanso will be the best coach in the future, how could it not be that during his time at Levekusen he has made this team strong and has a winning mentality as you said, the impact of his presence at Levekusen is very significant. Even Xabi Alonso made a nightmare come true for opponents Bayer Leverkusen. With twelve matches without defeat, they created terror in the Bundesliga and even Europe. I agree with you. I don't think the Leverkusen team is very strong. Leverkusen is a mediocre team. Yet the way the team has maintained consistency is admirable. And it was possible because of Xabi Alanso. He is an excellent coach. He has been able to create a strong bond between the team players. The players are also confident in every match. That's why we consistently see better performances from Leverkusen in every match. And even with a mediocre squad, the team is still managing to score a lot of goals. They scored 37 goals in 12 matches and won 11 matches. The team shares points with only Bayern Munich. Xabi Alanso has made it even harder for Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga this season. |
