Strong game by Valencia and after a long time they won three games in a row. I hope they will join at least Conference League next season. I miss watching them in European competitions. Javi Guerra came from the second team and adapted to the team well. Hugo Duro scored his eighth goal. These guys are young talents, Valencia can build a good team around them. The future looks bright.

it is not that I am already thinking about a Villareal playing in the Segunda division, but I think if they have the wrong focus (which they don't because it makes no sense), clubs can be wrong and find themselves in a situation that they did never anticipate.

Sevilla is an exception because they made something happen that usually doesn't happen. But thinking that this is how it goes for any club playing against the relegation zone doesn't go anywhere. La Liga is their primary business. Europa League is the extra they still have to play for.

If Kevin De Bruyne can now get enough practice, it will also have a deep impact on Manchester City's game. It's impossible to replace someone like him, let alone when he is at his optimum and then gets an injury. He scored a very important goal against Newcastle now and this could give him some valuable momentum for the next few weeks. Haaland benefits a lot from a well playing De Bruyne.

Now Manchester City has one more difficult game against Tottenham in the FA Cup. The next six weeks will be exciting for them and I hope they can keep everyone on board and nobody gets ruled out due to injuries.

But I wasn't referring to contracts in general, but more to his "golden rule" when he said that he won't stay at one place for more than three years, but he did break that rule for Manchester City.

I think when a coach built a great team and sees how the team thrives and becomes better, it is hard to say goodbye. But what is so impressive about Guardiola is that he built the most dangerous Barcelona there ever was in the history of the club. And then he decided to leave the club, which I still don't understand in some aspects, but I guess he wanted something new, a new challenge.

But this doesn't make him a super hero. He is a super hero because he was the best of the best in important leagues, but is he still a super hero when he scores goals in Saudi Arabia? I still acknowledge how good he is, but it is different when he scores in a top league or in a weak league. It is not the same.

I actually never saw a winner between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur I think both team are very evenly matched and they are both not in a very good form, although I think Tottenham Hotspur were just a little bit better than Manchester United but not too much to make a notable differences.
Generally speaking I think this encounter was a fair one and the score line was also fair, it was exciting too seeing that the game produce four goals and both team would now have to manage one point each.

Ronaldo's performances at Al Nassr are impressive and puzzling. Thats incredible for a 38-year-old to score 20 goals and assist 9 in 18 games. Its more than his Saudi league experience, I think. Ronaldo's top league stints show he adapts quickly. Although significant, his age feels like a number to him.

His competition level worries me, though. Is his skill or the league's quality helping him score? He's indeed a fantastic player, but context matters. Experience, team support, and league competition may explain his goal-scoring streak. I admire Ronaldo, but I think its necessary to have a balanced assessment of his career so far.

This would be a huge surprise if Pep Guardiola decided to extend his contract one again as he already broke his golden rule once. He said many years ago that he will never stay with the same club for more than three years, but obviously he knows that he found what he was looking for at Manchester City. Lots of money to be made, good investment strategies in quantity and quality for the squad and I think he is not only the coach, but he has lots of responsibilities and rights in the club. It is exactly the way he wants it. I am not sure if he will extend his contract once again, but the question then would be where he could go next without making a step back in his career.

I had a look at the table because I wasn't fully aware of how it is looking for Villareal currently. I now saw that they are literally fighting against getting into the relegation zone. Now I read your post and you say that they are focusing more on the Europa League because they are caught in the middle of the La Liga table. No, shit is hitting the fan for them dude! There is no focus on the Europa League because they first and foremost have to make sure that they are not going to end up playing in Segunda Division next season. LoL, "they are currently still scattered in the middle standings". I would never want you to be the coach of a serious soccer club, it would end in a serious mess.

Real Madrid really understands how to arrange players in every match they have played so far, because if the opponent is not strong enough like Arandina, it is not a problem for Real Madrid to field second line players in that match. But for today's match in the Super Cup with the opponent being Atletico Madrid, of course Real Madrid will field their main squad to achieve victory because Atletico Madrid is also a fairly strong rival for Real Madrid in La Liga.

I personally don't think Real Madrid or Barcelona is actually going to lose to Girona when it comes to the La Liga title. Well, I don't know about Barcelona because they are not performing well. And they are the defending champions. But I still think Real Madrid has a better chance to win the La Liga title compared to Girona. I am not trying to disrespect Girona. I think they have done a wonderful job. But I don't think they will be able to sustain that level of performance in the long run. Had some point the performances going to drop and that's when the difference in terms of points are going to be created with Real Madrid.

Apart from that, I also worried about Guardiola no longer has the big ambitions he had previously because ya, Guardiola already succeeded in bringing Manchester City to all the trophies available . Therefore, it seems possible that in the future Guardiola will also leave and thus, it looks like Manchester City maybe find it difficult to get the right coach in the future if for example Guardiola really leaves . Indeed, the main priority is also about a good squad to get good results too, but if they don't have the right coach to build the team, at least they will still find it difficult to get the same success later as now.

I have big doubts about his problem being the atmosphere. I think he is lacking the willpower to work for his money. Benzema had his luckiest moment ever when he became the best player in the world and out of a sudden the teams from the Saudi Professional League wanted him, but he is different than Ronaldo actually. Ronaldo really wants to score the most goals, that is the least he can do and he will do it whenever he can. Benzema doesn't care about becoming the goal scorer and he knows that nobody can take away the salary from him. That is why he doesn't behave like a professional. He plays like an amateur and can't get himself going again. It's like a scam to me, but the Saudi clubs are the ones who are wasting their money, so I don't care.

Villarreal is doing shit in LaLiga and good in Europa LEague like the guy above me said, it reminds me about the Sevilla last year, who was a total mess in local tournament but ended up winning the Europa League, in the case of Sevilla they start bad in LaLiga and ended up in good shap, but is an equal case with this of Villarreal, but i dont see Villarreal winning anything.

Anything that is casino-related has a slim chance of winning, and it doesn't stop the fact that some people can win big with it. This winning is the target of most gamblers and the reason why they patronise casinos engaging in lotteries, they have hope in it. The lottery is not a child's play and it depends on the lottery we are talking about to know how easy or difficult the winning could be. There are some that will just be about the general drawing for the lucky winners and nothing more, but in some, gamblers can still use some mathematical calculations to get the possible results. And guess what? This works and I've seen a lot of people who didn't predict randomly but went to their calculation table to draw out the possible outcome and it works for them.

The best of this is when they are playing a certain lottery that is manually set but has had some internal calculations that will always follow a certain pattern. The issue is that it could be rigged like others since it is not easy for the house to follow the same logic on this all the time, many people will later get to know it and use it to make money against them. In all, people can win in lotteries by luck and by their efforts, but no one should ever believe they can get rich in lotteries. However, if it happens, they can embrace it and be happy. You see that people often have this belief in winning in lotteries, which is why they will continue to patronise it.

Ok that is quite optimistic because I think that no team so far has ever won the treble twice in a row. Solely based on statistics I think that this statement is doomed to turn out to be wrong, but for as long as Manchester City is around and in the position to win all of the titles, there is nothing that speaks against them doing it. Whether they will, I don't know. But we can see that the competition in the Premier League has become incredibly tough and in the Champions League, there are a couple of clubs that I think are on the same level as Manchester City. Definitely Real Madrid I think.

Do you know that almost all clubs work with understatements during the season for as long as they can and it is still credible and authentic?

Juventus Turin doesn't gain anything if they now announce that their plan is to win the Scudetto. There is no point in shouting out loud what they ambitions are. But if a team has 46 points after the first half of the season, do you really think that they are not internally talking about the title or at least thinking about it?

I am sure that the players know what this season is all about. The Champions League qualification is safe one goal for them, but the Scudetto is what they really want.
