Sacha Boey is probably leaving. It is said that he will be transferred to Bayern Munich and he will go to Munich tomorrow morning.
He was transferred for 30 Million Euros, I think it could have been worth slightly more.
If he had played in another country rather than Türkiye, this Sacha Boey would have been sold for more.

when we discuss the age of a football player, it will affect a player performance, it is true, but if we compare Ronaldo with Benzema, Benzema is actually much younger than Ronaldo, but in fact, Ronaldo is still in very good condition, scoring big scores since the start of the season, whereas Benzema has Under age Ronaldo did not have a good performance for Ittihad.
I'm trying to think logically that actually this is not due to age but a strong desire to make the best contribution and I'm sure there are other problems that are driving Benzema to not be able to perform like Ronaldo and I'm just trying to guess if Benzema is actually uncomfortable being at Ittihad so his performance cannot be optimal, whereas in the SPL it should be an easy match for Benzema because he is a professional european player who has enormous experience in europe so competing in the SPL should be an easy challenge.

yep, I support your argument because for players who are a little older there will definitely be pros and cons related to market price and on the one hand any big team will always consider giving big salaries to older players so the team will give small salaries while Benzema wants to get big salary before retirement and the best option is to stay at Ittihad with a big salary but Benzema must try to make a good contribution to help Ittihad win the title.

every season there are always changes to the teams in a league and the conditions currently experienced by Sevilla are not just this time, in fact other teams have also experienced a decline in performance like this.
Sevilla is one of the popular teams in La Liga even though it is threatened with entering the relegation zone, but that will never happen considering that Sevilla is the holder of the most european league titles. this team will not just give up and maintain its reputation.
regarding Girona, which is in very good form at the moment, it's just luck for Girona to be able to take advantage of the situation when several popular La Liga teams are having problems and try to continue to get points in every match, even though this is just luck, I admit that Girona has pretty good consistency.

btw, regarding Almeria vs Alaves yesterday I said to someone who still had faith that Almeria would win, I said that it would never happen because in terms of depth Alaves current performance is stronger than Almeria so it is only natural that Alaves gets 3 points from beating Almeria.

Many people were surprised to hear the news, but maybe it's true that humans have their own saturation time in their work or whatever it is in their lives that they have been doing for a long time on an ongoing basis, if I'm not mistaken Klopp has been with Liverpool for 9 years, so it's only natural in my opinion if we think from this point of view ....

But maybe some people will ask if there is something hidden by Klopp, such as problems or whatever it is behind him to leave Liverpool, who knows about it. Maybe if Klopp really leaves Liverpool, and this season Liverpool get a win in the EPL will be his last trophy for Liverpool. Xabi Alonso is quite interesting and because of his success in bringing Leverkusen to be the leader in the Bundesliga is likely to get a good recommendation and replacement for Liverpool, and if that becomes a reality, the competition in the EPL will be very hotter, but we don't know how effective Alonso is for Liverpool.

The bookmakers only provide odds @1.50 for Atalanta but i can understand why the odds for Atalanta is quite low today because they only facing Udinese which is this team is categorized as weak team this season and Udinese records was very bad because during this season they only gets 2 wins and for Atalanta they currently in the good shape especially from their last match Atalanta can able to gets the winning result with big scores from Frosinone so this result can boosted their morale and Atalanta seems very confident they can able to beat Udinese and collect 3 points today

Last update from Atalanta squad is Teun Koopmeiners will be doubtful to play because got injured and if Koopmeiners can't play today i think this is big lost for Atalanta because recently Koopmeiners performance was very impressive because although he is not a striker but Koopmeiners was very sharp because from 3 latest matches in all competitions Koopmeiners can scores 4 goals however about this match although the odds for Atalanta was low but i think this is safe bet because big possibility Atalanta will being an the winner of this match

So that why I said that Leverkusen chances of winning the open title are very strong and Leverkusen still hasn't had single defeat, unlike the defending champion or Bundesliga king Bayern Munich, who this season has suffered 2 defeats.
Everyone hope some time ago in the first half was that Bayern Munich still had one match postponed and when the postponed match had taken place then Bayern Munich would be able to catch up with Leverkusen.
But everything failed and it was just hope that could not be fulfilled, now entering the second half Bayern Munich had to make things difficult with the increasing quality of Leverkusen play which was getting better and more stable.
Bayern Munich, which is the most successful team in the Bundesliga, must be willing if this season they fail in the race for the title and of course Tuchel must be able to focus on the fight for the UCL title because the only hope of using their full performance is only in the UCL.

I much prefer and really hope that Bayern Munich can perform optimally in the UCL rather than chasing the Bundesliga title, they are already the most successful team in the Bundesliga and now is the time to prove that they can also have the UCL title.

steven gerad's track record of training primiere league clubs is very bad. when training aston villa the results obtained by gerrad were very bad and ended in dismissal. similarly, nigelsman also ended up being fired when training bayern munchen. the best choice from what you wrote in the list above is xabi alonso. leverkusen's performance in training alonso was extraordinary.

Yes, Manchester United's decline continues because they cannot perform optimally in every match. Manchester United only won 1 win in the last 5 matches and have lost a lot of points, namely 10 points, so it is normal if their position does not improve and if their performance does not immediately if it is corrected, it is not impossible that the ranking will fall further because the clubs below Manchester United have started to catch up and only have a small difference in points so it is possible that these clubs can overtake Manchester United.

I think the management will immediately fire Erik Ten Hag because this coach cannot be expected to advance the Manchester United club because this season Manchester United is really in poor performance, Jose Mourinho could be an option to replace Erik Ten Hag because of this coach still unemployed after being fired by Roma.

Nigeria vs Cameroon
 There is a lot of action sure to go down in this game but if you look at the two of them, it will be so difficult to predict the game as the two sides both had less than satisfactory performance during the group stages even though Nigeria won two of their games, we all know it was by a slim margin and I'm sure they will struggle in this game. Cameroon came into this tournament looking so unprepared and if not for a late goal by defender Christopher Wooh, they would have been knocked out in group stage by Gambia.
 Many believe that if Andre Onana is behind the sticks for Cameroon, they would concede a lot of goals but I strongly doubt that, being as they failed to score a bucket of goals against Guinea Bissau in their last game, settling for just one goal and the way I see it, if they manage to get one goal today it will be a big struggle to keep that goal and even get another one. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the game.
 

since having financial problems; Barcelona lost its glory days and had almost very little chance of qualifying for the semi-finals because the players they had were not ready enough to face other big teams and in terms of reserve players; Barcelona does not have quality reserve players while several injured players can worsen Barcelona condition.
facing Napoli in the round of 16 may not be too tough, but the problem is that Napoli, even though they have problems, this team still has slightly superior performance compared to Barcelona, which is currently really down in the UCL and in La Liga.

and regarding Man City, I slightly disagree with your opinion, although it will not be possible to win consecutive UCL titles. The return of key players provides a big opportunity for Man City, but the only doubt is that KDB has returned with the same performance as before the injury and whether Haaland will return with good performance as before?
If Haaland is back and can still perform as before, it is possible that Real Madrid will have problems because they have to face the strength of Man City.

Klopp wants to bring Liverpool to win lots of titles because that can be proof that Liverpool is team that can win various awards in every competition.
This is not about whether competition is important or not but how valuable title can be achieved.
By getting various titles it will also bring Klopp name as coach who will have more experience.
We know that coach experience is very important because when he is fired or his contract expires he will still be considered great coach and of course can make other team interested and use his services, Klopp will continue to use Liverpool in his best squad.
Moreover, Salah who is mainstay player, is defending his country and Klopp also has to use all his intelligence in having squad that is truly perfect and can perform at full strength.
Not single coach is willing to leave one competition just for other interests.
In this European League Liverpool have become favorites and Klopp in this competition also really has hopes of being able to continue fighting until he reaches the final.

This season is surely very different from previous seasons. In the previous seasons, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are 2 top teams in Bundesliga which compete for the title. But this season, the race for the title is between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. It becomes more interesting that Bayer Leverkusen is leading Bundesliga standings and they are still unbeaten so far. Xabi Alonso did something impressive for Bayer Leverkusen, he makes this average team to be a very strong team. Even an experienced coach like Thomas Tuchel still got a defeat when he is managing Bayern Munich this season. But Xabi Alonso never got a single defeat, he continues to get points in every match. Now, the point gap between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is 4 points. Bayern Munich was defeated by Werder Bremen in matchday 18. It seems Bayern Munich attackers decreasing a bit their performance in the last 2 matches in Bundesliga. This only makes it more difficult to catch Bayer Leverkusen in the 1st place.

Yes I think this season is mostly done for Ajax Amsterdam as they are also eliminated from the KNVB Cup and even if I weren't to assert that miracles are not impossible, I think it is impossible for Ajax Amsterdam to catch up with PSV. But I think that PSV themselves are quite shocked after they gave away their first points in the Eredivisie and right after that game got eliminated from the KNVB Cup themselves. This is certainly bad for any plans they had.

I don't know what Ajax Amsterdam is aiming for, but the biggest of all possible goals would be to catch up with Feyenoord. Ajax has one more game to play against them in the Eredivisie and apart from that can only hope for Feyenoord to drop points.

Interesting thing is, sometimes teams who are not that great at their own league, could end up with a win at UCL so that should be something that may make some sense. I get that it would not be easy, most teams that win the UCL are usually good at their own league as well, but it doesn't have to be like that. Remember the year Tuchel won the UCL with Chelsea?

It was just a few years ago, wasn't that long time ago, and they beat City, do you really think that City played bad? They were clear winners of the league most years, and yet they didn't get the UCL that season, Chelsea did. So that means if Barcelona is playing bad this season at the league, which I think they are not that bad at all, they do not look like champions, but they are decent, but even in that situation it doesn't mean they can't win UCL, they still have a chance.

Liverpool is currently competing in four title races with they are going to face Chelsea in EFL cup final and then have The FA Cup UEFA Europa Cup and Premier League which is impressive from the Jürgen Klopp and his players because as things were going no one were expecting they could be at the top level in this season, but they have done and now achieving with most chances they will try their best for having all trophies or 3 could be also best for them here in UEFA Europa Cup they are doing impressive and now having challenging opponents ahead, but their moral is high, and their team depth is also working good so we can expect they could be going to end this season as one of the best in recent years.

Today I read Jürgen Klopp surprises all Liverpool fans and management with his decision about leaving this club at the end of this season, so now things are more important with his farewell could be best with these trophies which are they going to take at the end.

Lyon vs Rennes

 The loses from Le Havre makes Lyon have to ended their winning streak and after break today they will attempt to beat Rennes and return to the winning ways but Rennes also in the good shape because they were unbeatable in the last 5 matches in all competitions and the latest is Rennes can able to eliminate Marseille at France Cup and in Ligue 1 Rennes has successfully to beat strong team Nice so Rennes recent performance is much better compared to them.

For squad update Enzo Le Fee will be doubtful to play but Benjamin Bourigeaud will be available today and this player was showing impressive performance in the last 2 matches with Rennes because he can scored 1 goal and make 1 assist and for Lyon Duje Caleta-Car will not be available in the squad because he got suspension and as usual Lyon still rely on Alexandre Lacazette for their front lines and according to the head to head statistics i can see both teams can beat each other but Lyon was successfully to improve their records from Rennes because they can win from Rennes 2 times streak and today too i think Lyon still able to resumes their good records from Rennes moreover as a host Lyon have more motivation to win and the odds for Lyon is @2.48

Let's be realistic, previously this league was not very well known before Ronaldo joined. I mean, the Saudi Pro League competition is not really cared about by the wider community of football fans. in fact, the Saudi Pro League is less popular than the Qatar League. but now, the impact of change is occurring in this competition. we don't need to go far to speak to the wider community of football fans, we ourselves are involved in this thread discussing the Saudi Pro League competition even though most of it focuses on the teams that bring in the top European league players. the Saudis are well aware that they don't have much to offer in this competition apart from money and fantastic salaries. that's why, their main target is to bring in top players aged over 30+. apart from having big names, bringing them into this competition can boost football in Saudi Arabia. and it has been proven that the Saudi Pro League has always been a hot topic of conversation, especially when several clubs want to bring in big-name players.

But Saudi is really patient, their goal is not only to bring in top European players and have fantastic salaries. however, there is another plan behind everything they do in the project which is supervised by the kingdom and the sports minister. apart from improving football in this competition, the government and PIF have big plans and projects behind all of this. we can read the mission and mission of the PIF company. so don't be surprised if the players come to this competition for no other reason than money, and that is part of the project plan initiated by Saudi. as for young players, like Mbappe, who has big star names. it was very clear that their goal was not just money. but various titles in prestigious competitions. plus, a mission to achieve the best player award. Talking about Casemiro, for example, this Man United player is interested in getting a high salary and is willing to compete in this league. It won't take long if there will be a team interested in using his services.

From what I saw, Benfica was playing with its best players and still lost in this game, although the game ended in a draw and needed penalties, I still see that if Benfica had been strong they would have managed to win in the 90 minutes. game, but Benfica couldn't win, Benfica didn't manage to score many goals in that game, they were very bad in that game and Estoril deserved that victory. Now just because Estoril were lucky to beat Benfica, it doesn't mean they have become strong, I see Braga with a good chance of becoming champions. Braga managed to beat Sporting in the 90 minutes

Braga managed to stop the cycle of many goals that Sport had been having in the last few games, which was expected, I say this because in Sport's last game, although they managed to win and scored 5 goals, they still managed to concede 2 goals, and this showed great fragility for Sporting's defense and in yesterday's game Braga just needed to remain very strong in defense and manage to score at least 1 goal to win the game, and that's what Braga did. With this victory, Braga reached the final. In my opinion, this defeat for Sporting and Benfica must have hurt a lot for these two teams because at least when a team in a season ends with a trophy and doesn't win the title, it helps when it comes to receiving criticism from fans and the club's management.

If Benfica or Sporting had reached the final and one of them won and became champion, then even if they didn't manage to win the league they would show some trophy to the fans. But nothing is lost for Sporting and Benfica this season. Both teams can still win:

1 - the Portuguese league
2 - Portuguese cup
3 - european league

There are 3 competitions that Sporting and Benfica can win and end the season with a trophy

I cannot say the defeat of yesterday was a disappointment because that is not La Liga and Girona cannot perform well in all their competitions. Remember that a team performing very well in La Liga isn't necessary or compulsory; they should do the same thing in another competition, and that is why many people feel disappointed that Girona lost yesterday, but honestly, for me, I didn’t expect high expectations from them in that match because that is not La Liga, so you all put much expectation on them, and many people think that since they are already in a better position in La Liga, that is how it will go for them anywhere they go, which is not possible.

Know that there will be other clubs that are going to take over the first position in another place, so therefore, Mallorca defeating Girona is not surprising to me, and again, even if Girona are doing well, sometimes the game may not be by their side, so the luck was not for them in that match, and that’s why Mallorca beat them. Although we know that Mallorca are not in good form, But sometimes a team you underestimate performs well in a match we didn’t expect and even a club we didn’t expect, so I think that is what with Girona.

FA Cup match

There are 4 matches currently underway, but two of them are particularly interesting. The Chelsea vs Aston Villa and Tottenham vs Manchester City matches are the two matches I mean, and these are really interesting to watch.

There have been no goals in these two matches even though Manchester City took a 1-goal lead from Oscar Bobb before the referee disallowed the goal for offside. Manchester City really dominated this match and they built a good attack, but unfortunately no goals were scored for almost half the first half. Pep Guardiola chose to reserve Jeremy Doko and De Bruyne for this match, but if his plans don't go well then both of them might get minutes.
