No, do not confuse the sequence of events. First, Ten Hag (and the club) declares that he needs Ronaldo and that he is counting on him. Then there are questions about the current game form and the start of games from the bench. These questions have arisen only because Ten Hag uses a high-pressure system and Ronaldo does not fit into it.
What do you think, when Ten Hag made statements that he needed Ronaldo, he did not know his age? Or did he not know what kind of game scheme he wanted to use at United? You are not that naive.

I think I wrote it clear enough.

Ten Hag probably did not know what he can do with Ronaldo and how to use Ronaldo. He was unsure what he can achieve in Manchester United with available players and thought he can rely on Ronaldo in some matches or some early months of this season. I believe it is what Ten Hag thought even he knew that Ronaldo does not match with his tactics and formation like you said.

I disagree with Ten Hag and disrespect the coach about that too.

Quote

There is nothing wrong with the player and the formation not matching - for example, Ibrahimovic was fired from Barcelona because of this and there was no talk of Ibrahimovic's bad form back then - he was cool but he didn't fit Guardiola's formation.
In this case, the ratly rat Ten Hag was clearly lying when he made his statements, and I see no reason why Ronaldo should not be outraged.

Both Ten Hag and Manchester United should be responsible for this drama too. They wanted to get lot of things from Ronaldo: income, goals and rejected to let him go. Now when they saw that Ronaldo is no longer useful for their club, they are ready to punish him.

Even Ronaldo is responsible for how his negatively reacted recent weeks, Manchester United and Ten Hag actually treated Ronaldo very bad and unfairly.

UCL this season, we see many big names knocked out earlier in the group stage. Starting from Juventus, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid. I'm not that surprised to see Juventus knocked out from the group stage because their performance is indeed bad in Serie A as well as in UCL. While Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are bit different as they are good enough in LaLiga but they cant show their best in UCL. From these 3 knocked teams, Barcelona has qualified to Europa League already while Juventus and Atletico Madrid still need to play the last match in the group stage and win the match in order to qualify tor Europa League. It will be silly if both team fails to qualify.

Being big clubs is not a guarantee for them to beat other clubs. If they can not win enough, they will habe to accept lower rankings in their groups. From Barcelona to Athletico Madrid and Juventus, I don't feel regret for them because their general performances are bad.

Athletico Madrid looks to have better performance than Barcelona and Juventus but they did not play well enough. Like in the yesterday match, they struggled to beat Leverkusen and even got a golden penalty in 90+5 min, they wasted it.

Look at it in another perspective, these clubs will make Europa League more exciting. At least they will still have chance to win Europa League title. In Champions League, they nearly have no chance to be frankly said.

Honestly he has more priorities than cryptocurrency in near future. There are so many issues from finance, economic to society must be resolved in the UK. He must do a good job to keep his position and with this pressure, cryptocurrency is in very last position of his to-do list.

There is calling and pressure to host an election in order to legalize his Prime Minister position. Host it or not host it, he still must manage the UK government very carefully in early weeks and months. Maybe if he can secure his Prime Minister position after a few months, we can come back to discuss about it. At this moment, it is a non-sense discussion because it's too early to discuss with many uncertainties.

You don't seem to understand the problem of Barcelona. Barcelona has ideology problem and coaching problem. Barcelona team has great individual players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Dembele, Fati, De Jong and many more that I cannot mention. They have players that can match Bayern Munich and other clubs but Xavi got it wrong. Why do you want Dembele to leave? Is Dembele the problem of Barcelona?
Barcelona has good players they need Xavi to change method.

They are obsessed with tiki taka but they did not realize that tiki taka has already been decrypted by so many coaches and teams. If they keep continuing to obsess with tiki taka, they are self-damage their progress to rebuild the club.

Not mention their player quality nowadays is worse than years ago and they should accept a fact that Barcelona nowadays are no longer belong to most powerful clubs in the Europe. If they accept it, they will have a more relevant approach, use a better tactics for their players.

Additionally, a club can not rely solely on attacking to win matches and titles. They can if their attacking system is dominating in all matches and can cover weakness of defense. In reality, it is not what Barcelona attacking system have in this season.

Barcelona have the required players to meet up Bayern Munich strength in UEFEA and the both team players have the finished strikers with skillful wingers. There's absolutely nothing wrong with barça players, it's just that Xavi always start with the wrong lineups.

I disagree with this comparison. Barcelona have a lower quality than Bayern Munich and they are completely at different levels. Bayern belongs to Tier 1 and Barcelona belong to somewhere in between Tier 2 and Tier 3. That is why they will join Europa League soon.

Quote

He should start the good players other than the familiar ones, like Frankie de Jong who have the strength to defend and he's also creative. There are also some players in the team that he give them insufficient playing time like Ansu Fati, I believe Fati is one key player because he's versatile and always good with forcing the ball to his opponents box. It's time for Xavi to drop the old players and start with the young ones who are eager to play games.

I agree that both De Jong and Fati should be given more opportunities to play. They are both good players especially De Jong who was a very important player for Barcelona before the return of Xavi.

Fati actually needs chance to play and improve after a long injury in the past season. I don't expect an outstanding performance instantly from Fati but Xavi must give this player more playing time.

Yep, dealing with players' egos will be always a hard thing for the coach. Mauricio Pochettino (the previous coach) has experienced it, he realized it to be one of the biggest problems in PSG squad. Now, the new coach (Christophe Galtier), gradually to have a better approach to dealing with the egos of PSG starts players. I never heard of any issue about Messi's bad attitude, most of the issues about bad attitude problems are from Mbappe and Neymar. These players are always unpredictable and difficult to manage. Cheesy

Galtier was chosen by PSG because of his CV to deal with player ego in Lille. So far he has shown that he is able to repeat it in PSG too. I felt about Galtier is similar to Carlo Ancelotti. They are both coaches who don't make too strict rules as well as punishments on their star players but they can manage their players so well.

They are like friendly coaches with their players but are still able to constrain their player ego. In addition, they are wisely enough to enlighten their star players and can use them in new positions and lift their players to new highs in their career.

We shouldn't be surprised with Ajax's result against Liverpool tonight. It was already too difficult for them to continue in the Champions League after the group stage. Liverpool just finished them off by a clear 3-0 victory. Nunez is still performing impressively. This was his 4th goal in his last 5 games.

Ajax lost a lot of important players in the summer and they are not able to replace them with other players but still maintain their performance as the same. They got some big defeats in Champions League that are not what they usually experience there.

I am not doubtful about ability of Ajax to come back because they have a very good Academy and very efficient scout team. So they will be able to detect more youth talented players and grow those players to star ones again. However the process might need a few seasons and in the meantime their fans must be familiar with bad results.

Inter played well and won, if they can't get out of this group, it would be better for Barcelona to continue from the Europa League instead of the Champions League. At least they have a chance to win the trophy. If they had left this group, perhaps Barcelona would have been eliminated in the next round.

Plzen is a weakest team in the group and it is very normal to see Inter Milan destroyed Plzen in the match. This big win of Inter Milan also puts the end for Barcelona in Champions League. This is also the second consecutive season Barcelona were not able to pass through the group stage in Champions League.

In previous seasons, their fans were upset when Barcelona were beaten in semi final, quarter final or 1/8 round but now they have to accept even much worse results.

Don't demonize Ronaldo.

I did not demonize him.

Quote

His troubles at United were mostly due to promises from the club and Ten Hag himself that he was counted on and needed by the team. And immediately from the start he was put on the bench. What is this if not a deception and why should Ronaldo not be outraged?

The drama is bad from three sides.

First Manchester United did not want to release Ronaldo or open with transfer offers. Maybe they did care about income from jersey, ticket sales with Ronaldo's effects.

Second, their coach, Ten Hag did not know what he want from Ronaldo and how he can use Ronaldo but he rejected to let Ronaldo moving to another club. They both promised a lot with Ronaldo in the summer.

Third, Ronaldo was disappointed and reacted badly but he should not blame it all on Manchester United and Ten Hag. He is no longer a young player and his reactions are bad at his age. At least he was given some chances but generally his performance was bad. If he want to get more appearances, he must play better with any chance he gets from Ten Hag

Ronaldo can bring more confidence for Napoli players. Also, italian league a bit have a slow playing rythm, so if Ronaldo join to Napoli, he can give a chance to bring trophy since with his skill and his performance, still applicable for Serie-A. Don't forget about money, merchandise sale can help their finance. The only problem is his salary, i'm sure maybe hard for naples to pay him.

Ronaldo can bring more confidence to Napoli players if results are good but if results are bad, he will create more pessimistic sentiment and more pressure to Napoli coach and players.

He is different than Ibrahimovic because he cares more about himself and his personal records first. Ibrahimovic cares more about clubs he plays for. Ibrahimovic is not obsessed with personal record and personal achievements. Ibra does not create negative pressure to his team mates and his coach like Ronaldo.

Quote from: salad daging on October 26, 2022, 12:55:34 PM

Almost all English league clubs refuse Ronaldo to be brought in maybe because they know how Ronaldo's attitude will be an obstacle later so that many are ostracized and not on the radar of English club supervision this winter.

Of course attitude is important especially Ronaldo should be able to set an example to others that attitude in football is not like that if they don't play well and have to accept the reality if they are substituted, but Napoli are really interested in Ronaldo even though we know the Napoli squad is on fire but maybe Spalletti wants to need Ronaldo's services as long as he changes his bad attitude for the better.

They worry that if Ronaldo comes, he will break their standards in salary and relationships between a coach and a player. Generally, they see more risk, more troubles than benefit and they want to avoid it at beginning.

Prevention is better than cure and they want to prevent it rather than to resolve troubles and conflicts started by Ronaldo.

It should be worth noting that he has a bad win rate if compared to the last 6 managers at Barcelona since 2001 after 50 games. If the win rate keeps low, I think the management will look into it too when considering his future, regardless of how good Real Madrid will be.

Source

It is a bad win rate for Xavi but we must include a factor that Barcelona has to play without Messi under Xavi time. We know how important Messi is for Barcelona. His departure is a big minus point for Barcelona and after that they have been playing with less powerful and creative attacking.

Messi can not solve all things but he can do a lot of things that are beneficial for Barcelona generally.

Quote from: KTChampions on October 26, 2022, 12:47:07 PM

It is worth noting that even this win rate for Xavi is too one-sided - Barcelona wins games against weak teams, but loses to strong ones almost guaranteed. Something I do not remember that with those coaches Barcelona left the Champions League immediately after the group stage. Overall, I think that Barcelona will have big problems in the summer and a change of coach will not be the biggest issue by then. Maybe even Xavi will stay to train the youth and will gradually introduce them into the main team.

In the past season, people were happy with Xavi and recognized his management in Barcelona. It was chanfed after the summer transfer as their fans hoped that Xavi can help them to win La Liga. That is still a difficult mission for Xavi and his players. Their fans also were optimistic that Barcelona will play as a giant in Champions League again. It was proven that they can not and even are facing risk of demotion to Europa League.

I agree that stats for 50 matches is bad and worse than other coaches but we must consider player quality at different seasons. I don't deny that Xavi must improve his management too but it looks good enough for a young coach.

What to expect from Ronaldo by Spalletti? I don't think Ronaldo will make much of an impact, maybe it will only add to Spalletti a new problem. His nature at Man United should know what will happen if he brings in Ronaldo.
I think it will be more trouble than profit. If Ronaldo's price is still expensive, of course it will not be worth the gain. I think Napoli are better looking for a talented young forward. It's not buying an old player who is starting to lose his best strength.

Worrying about troubles with Ronaldo and his attitude is one of biggest barriers for any club want to sign with Ronaldo. They see more risk, more troubles with Ronaldo than what they can receive from him.

Ronaldo must change his attitude and accept to have a flexible role in any club. Sometimes if he plays well, he will be in the squad and get important position but if he plays bad, he must accept a position on bench. This will make him a more useful player than a troubling one.

The sentiment in Napoli is very positive and good, hence they don't want to have a troubling player like Ronaldo. They must completely focus to win their first Scudetto after many decades. Any unnecessary trouble is not wanted by Napoli and Spaletti. It is their most priority, not about salary or transfer cost for any player.

When things are hyped and people are greed, you should be fearful. That means you should stay outside and only observe how it will move in near future. It is better to forget about it as it can help you to avoid dead cat bounce traps.

Dead cat bounces can be great if you are experienced but more people lose money with dead cat bounces than people who can get profit from it.

Aptos is more than risky to invest in, it is my opinion. If you want to invest in cryptocurrency, first choices for you are: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB. Don't try with new born coins or tokens like Aptos.

Do you consider lower prices are bad for Bitcoin and Bitcoin investors?

If people in 2020 hoped that they can use a time travelling machine to go back to either 2018 or 2019 and buy Bitcoin at cheap price like $10,000 or $20,000, now they actually have that chance.

$19,000 recently or $17,000 weeks ago, did they take it to buy Bitcoin? If they rejected that chance because of being fearful when they should be greed, they will never buy Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin falls more to $15,000 or $10,000, they will consider it as risk.

He is definitely not a legend for Juventus Turin. If that is called a legend, then what would he be for Real Madrid?

Ronaldo score hundreds of goal for Real Madrid and won 3 Champions League with Real. I am sure he deserves to be called as a legend in Real Madrid. Even you dislike him, you can not deny his contributions and achievement there.

Quote

Ronaldo is trying with everything he can to get back into the Champions League for the season. Also if he seeks to extend his trophy collection, Napoli would make a lot of sense. The question is whether Ronaldo really is the fit Napoli could even be looking for. They are playing a perfect season so far. Now if you get Ronaldo on board, it also means you get potential trouble on board. Or they decide to let him play anyway no matter what... But I don't like that concept. He won't come as a backup, meaning that Napoli must kick someone from their first eleven which so far functions perfectly fine.

Napoli is a risky choice for Ronaldo. They are playing well in both Champions League and Serie A but they don't have enough experience to win titles. What will happen if Ronaldo joins them, and shortly after that, Napoli will be beaten in 1/16 round? Ronaldo is not seeking to join a club like this if he can have better choices.

Likely Chelsea, according to rumor, are considering to sign with Ronaldo. It is the best choice for Ronaldo in this season but will he take it? If he joins Chelsea, he will have to play against Manchester United.

The situation in Barcelona is very sad right now. Barcelona need full points against Bayern Munich if they want to go to the round of 16. Barcelona is still 3 points behind Inter Milan. Barcelona need to win their next two matches, and if Inter Milan lose either of their next two matches, Barcelona will qualify for the round of 16. Barcelona's future in the Champions League is completely uncertain. Barcelona management has spent a lot of money to bring in new players. Even so, Barcelona is failing to perform as well as expected.

Barcelona only can see a chance if Inter Milan lose points when meeting Plzen and it looks like impossible. Barcelona actually did have chances to make their situation better but they wasted it and now it is too late.

They are no longer able to control their ending in this group but at least they will not give it up early. They will fight seriously in this match day and wait for a result ghat should be good from Inter Milan and Plzen.

Lewandowski came and actually fixed their weaknesses in a striker position but he can not help the club winning all matches. Barcelona need more than one Lewandowski and I also recognized that Dembele is good too. Their attacking is fine but their defense needs to be strengthened more.

Moreover, they should solve the disappointment of Ansu Fati. Months ago, they considered him as a future of the club but now Xavi is treating him not good enough.

For anyone who "missed" out on early prices, the current market is basically like traveling back in time 5 years. I'm still shocked that friends I have who basically buy the top every 4 years and sell at a loss aren't holding anything right now. That's as good as sign as any that you should be dollar cost averaging into the market right now. Sure, there's still some downside risk, maybe as much as 50%, but the upside to me could potentially be 20x from here. That's a hell of a good bet as far as I'm concerned. If you've been on the fence and reading about Bitcoin for years, now is a good time to start dipping your toe in the water.

There are opportunities at different times and with different given entries. People can not say they miss all opportunities after so many years.

It is not because they were not known, were not gotten all great prices in previous years. It is because anytime they saw opportunities, they hesitated to take it. And when they had another oppportunity, saw another bull run, they hope to get it again. But time is not be able to reverted and they must learn to take other chances in future

I wasn't surprised when I saw Paris Saint Germain finish the season early because they have done so many times. Who doesn't believe in them now? They have all the facilities they need to do just that. Starting from luxury players, excellent financial capabilities and so on. I don't see any other club in Ligue 1 having everything you need other than Paris Saint Germain.

With PSG, if they can not win Ligue 1, it would be a nightmare for them. However, if they win Ligue 1, it would be very normal and almost mean nothing for them and their fans. It is ridiculous to say so but it is how their fans expect from PSG players.

They want PSG to win Champions League and if they win it, losing Ligue 1 title is acceptable for fans. If they can not win both Champions League and Ligue 1, their coach will be sacked definitely and many players will be sold on the market.

Quote

Instead of seeing them win here, I would actually like to see them do it in the Champions League.
But will they be able to do that? Honestly, I'm a little doubtful myself.

If a title is given by player quality and value, PSG should win Champions League. In reality they must play to achieve it and in real matches, PSG so far still can not be strong during important minutes. They did created so good advantage to beat competitors and move next to win Champions League. By some lack of confidence and strong mentality at very important minutes, they lost and failed in Champions League.

This season, when Ramos and Messi are getting their best fitness and performance, they can help PSG to win it.

This is an old event my friend, they already had another match with Chelsea without Ronaldo's presence and they ended with a draw and it seems Machester United were the Happiest when Casemiro equalized a goal in added extra minutes. Would Ronaldo's presence make any difference with what they have been playing all this while from the beginning of the season?

Ronaldo has problems with ageing and his lack of training, preparation in the summer but he will come back and will play better. I don't support his unprofessional reactions recent weeks but when his mental becomes better, he will play better.

I think the best solution for both Manchester United and Ronaldo is leaving him a chance to leave to another club in the winter transfer. Keeping him in the club but does not give him enough opportunity to play will only make things worse for both.

In Manchester United, there are more existing problems.

- The bad conversion rate of Rashford. He wasted so many chances and scored too little goals.
- The very poor performance of Sancho. He was given so many matches and time to play but it is just disappointment from his performance. Ten Hag must put Sancho on the bench and boost Sancho more to improve himself.

It is always easy to look at the past and say 'IF'

- If I have known about Bitcoin in earlier years like 2009 or 2013, I would have invested in Bitcoin.
People said the same IFs in 2013, 2017 and 2020. Now when they are given a great chance to actually invest in Bitcoin at cheap price, they are still saying if about earlier years. But they unfortunately reject to take the chance in this year.

Later, in future, in 2024 or 2028, other people will say the same Ifs
- If I have known about Bitcoin in earlier years like 2022, I would have invested in Bitcoin.

Where did you see that? inter is at the second position and plzen is at the bottom. Barcelona needs to win the game and it must hope if inter will be losing against plzen. The barcelona fans are still hoping if there will be a miracle for their club. Laporta was also hoping such thing to happen caused by barcelona will be losing more potential income when it will not able to go to the last 16. I don't even think inter will be losing against plzen. plzen is always loosing in any match.
This team is just having bunch of points to the another team.

Barcelona can win their match but if Inter Milan win against Plzen, it's the end for Barcelona in Champions League this year. Honestly Inter Milan will very likely to complete their task and beat Plzen in the next match day.

Barcelona did not play too bad in Champions League but they missed some chances and made some mistakes so they must accept the fact and prepare better for the next season.

Quote

The difficult thing when barcelona will be facing bayern.

Bayern is not easily to be beaten but even if Barcelona can beat them, it might not mean anything if Inter Milan beat Plzen.

Quote from: nara1892 on October 24, 2022, 12:13:15 PM

Actually I don't see Barcelona not taking their Champions League game seriously. Because of the results of their last two matches because a lot of players who are usually the first choice can't play because of the injuries they have. It is very difficult for them to qualify from this group stage because they have to finish 2 matches with a win, and also the result of the Inter Milan match will be very decisive for their next step in the Champions League. It would take a lot of magic to see Barcelona qualify for the knockout phase.

Barcelona really want to go as farthest as possible in Champions League because it means they will have more income to heal their finance crisis. I don't think it is a good explanation to blame all on injuries. Opponents of Barcelona did not have their best players for their matches too and all clubs must be able to cover injured players and achieve good results for their clubs.

Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are well deserved to go next in this group. Sorry but see Barcelona next season even it is bad to not have them in Champions League after next two match days.

Quote from: X-ray on October 24, 2022, 12:50:36 PM

Ac milan is the most difficult competitor for napoli for now. Ac milan can make its come back in the serie a after it has been losing against chelsea. Napoli is doing its job very good at this moment but being qualified for the last 16. Napoli will be facing rangers in the champion league.

AC Milan has three points less than Napoli and they are the best competitor to beat Napoli. And if we consider that AC Milan will mostly not be able to continue in Champions League, they will have more concentration in Serie A. It can be an advantage for AC Milan too. Because Napoli will have to play in Champions League, at least the 1/16 round.

Quote

Another three points looks very easy for napoli. Roma is also doing so well in that match. Napoli is still leading serie a. I hope that this will be last until the end of season.
Napoli needs to win the current season. It must also be careful with ac milan that is always following at the second position.

Both Napoli and Roma played well and each team have one good half of a match. Roma had more chances in the first half but Napoli had more opportunities in the second half.

Difference comes from a mistake of Smalling and the excellent strike of Osemni. Anyway Napoli deserve to win after having many opportunities in the match to score goals.
