Galatasaray will play the Konyaspor match tomorrow with a very small squad. There were reports that Icardi had a fracture in his face, but if the Super Cup match was played in Arabia, Icardi would have played.
Most likely, Galatasaray club is having difficulty paying the players. For this reason, players may not have wanted to play.
Angelino could not make the desired contribution. Angelino's form has been in decline since leaving Leipzig.
He came to Galatasaray with high hopes, but could not meet the expectations. I like it offensively, but after the attack, the back part is very empty and Galatasaray has problems in defense.
When the interim transfer period comes, it seems that players such as Angelino and Ndombele will leave the team.
Weeks ago, the toughest sides in the Turkish Super Lig played against each other. It was definitely an intense game for both teams as they had in their respective stores what to fight for. The game ended fairly in a goalless draw which only is a sign of how resilient they both were and unwavering too.These sides are good at what they do and they did not also let any factor deprive them of the strength out into the game.

 Galatasaray now has just the Turkish League race to focus on having been knocked out of the Champions league and it's an advantage for them to build up enough capacity to stay out at their top spot and for Fernabache, the struggle is up and they're definitely up to whatsoever task put before  them too. Both teams were confident in winning their games today with good goal margins which only means that they're satisfyingly impressive in their progresses. These two teams have always been an upper hand in the league and maybe it'll be repeated this season as well.

return of Haaland and KDB has had a positive impact on Man City even though they have just recovered from injury, but Guardiola still provides the opportunity for these two players to join the field if he thinks they are truly capable of competing and Guardiola as coach does not want to force these two players to appear on the pitch. the field because it will have a bad impact and I understand a little bit that this is all Guardiola is doing because so that these players can really recover when the UCL match starts De Bruyne and Haaland will be able to perform optimally to help Man City beat every opponent that comes their way.

the match that will start against Copenhagen will certainly have a little doubt and fear if Man City mainstay players cannot appear in the match but we have to be sure that Copenhagen will be very easy to beat by Man City even though they will probably only get a narrow score when playing away from home but after that If Man City hosts the second match, Copenhagen will definitely be eliminated easily and I hope KDB will at least be present at the match.
By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. Well I'm not underestimating Copenhagen, cause I'm pretty aware that sometimes football can be very suprising, however I still got a doubt that they might have succeeded against City's neighbours United, but won't  do same against City.

 Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too.

Even though he was not scoring but his performance was so excellent and it feels like that arda has been playing for long time with real madrid. Im aware that how arda can become a superstar in the future. In fact, he has been helping the club to create some chances.
Glad to see that if arda potentially become the next superstar. Ancellotti could always take the right player to be developed. Even though this is his debut to play in real madrid but he was showing amazing performance.

He was not being so selfish and he tries so hard to create a good chance for his teammates. Im really happy to see that his performance is just getting better. Arda can still develop his performance even better than before.
Arda is still young and there will be a lot of time for him to increase his skill by trying to learn from his senior. There will be so many great players will able to told him about how to play better.
Guler was a good during his debut game for the Madrid even though more than much was expected from him but for a first game in a team, he did really good. This only resonates the sermons of how well built up Real Madrid squad is. The young players are definitely an extra advantage to the team's strength. Ancelloti has been able to bring up his boys into more fury and it's exactly what they need to stay strong.

 There's good coordination and the zeal is always up for them. It's very much good that the team has been able to stay strong up until now and they seem undaunted too. It'll be more beautiful to watch these present Madrid perform at their peak even up till next season, the players are gaining good level of experience and it's working out good on them. I think they stand a better chance of winning the Liga this season, their gameplay have really changed beyond how they performed last season.

I thought that was manchester united but totenham? really? I can't even believe it to happen. I thought that totenham never had an interest in recruiting him but i was wrong. Timo was not performing so well in the leipzig and it seems he miss to play in EPL again.
I can't even believe how he was making a very strong movement from being linked to the manchester united then join in the totenham. That's an amazing performance for him. Timo had been chosen by ange due to the his experience with chelsea.

He has good knowledge about EPL and experience of it. Congrat timo, you will be seeing your former club again soon when totenham is going to face chelsea for the second leg. Totenham lost in the first leg against chelsea and i can't predict it for the second leg. Timo may bring different to the totenham caused by we know that how richarlison did nothing for the club. Totenham needs someone who can play well for the club. I never thought if it will be timo from leipzig. Even though this decision is not convincing for me but let's see how good timo plays in the totenham.

He may be playing even better compared to when he was doing in on leipzig. He sucks at leipzig last season and he moved to the totenham. he may become another flop again soon.

Tottenham's squad have been trying but they've not really been trying extra, even though they're at a good spot on the EPL table. Since Kane's exit from the team, it's utterly being difficult to find an almost near intensity that matches that of Kane. Well they've got an option to themselves.Timo Werner didn't really quite have a good time with Chelsea and even currently with Leipzig he's not still yet delivering at an expected range.

 But the team has found him worthy to be the right replacement for that position and so let's all believe he'd be a good addition. He's had his first EPL experience with Chelsea and so I believe that joining Tottenham won't be a new experience for him in the league. Let's see that they effect his move and also watch him perform for the team too.

Something that didn't make sense again happened in the Sassuolo vs Fiorentina match because the team should have had more motivation to maintain their place in the top 4 but instead lost this match. It was an unexpected defeat for Fiorentina after hosts Sassuolo narrowly beat them 1-0. Actually, I really didn't expect this result considering that I bet on Fiorentina winning, but when Fiorentina got a chance from a penalty kick and there Bonaventura failed to convert it into a goal. There was a moment where Fiorentina equalized but the goal was detected by VAR and deemed invalid because it was offside.

I don't know if I want to scream in annoyance considering that only this match is left to thwart my multibet and congratulations to Sassuolo for managing to win again after always getting bad results in the last few matches. For Fiorentina they failed to get 3 points and it will be easier for them to be overtaken by Bologna who are only 1 point away and that is a very profitable thing for Bologna.
Fiorentina really should have done better in that game. They were more projected to win than Sassuolo. It was a narrow win though but it still counted 3points up their sleeves for them. The game has therefore put Fiorentina still down in a state where there just has to be a means to coming out of the sham. It suprises me that Fiorentina that's at fourth place allowed Sassuolo that's at 14th place beat them.

 They're a good side and there still many other chances for them but they don't have to keep being in the dark, letting lower teams overpower them. Even though they were the visitors, they could have still struggled hard to keep a draw at least. The strategy should be redrawn, they've got to put in extra efforts to getting a better result than what they already have. Anyways sorry about your lose, maybe you'll be lucky enough to win your bet.

The absence of these players, especially Kim Min-jae requires a strategic approach from coach Thomas Tuchel to ensure the team continuing the progress. I think this is a big test for Tuchel on  how he will guide bayern with tough compotition in the league posed by Leverkusen. It's well-known that Tuchel hasn't had full support from Bayern Fans who demand a much better performances and a convincing competition like they used to.

Tuchel must assess the team's current defensive roster and potentially explore the transfer market for a temporary solution. The replacement should be able to seamlessly integrate into the team's playing style and contribute defensively. With several key players absent, Tuchel might need to rotate the squad wisely during this period. He needs to manage player fatigue and ensure that the remaining squad members are in peak condition for crucial domestic and Champions League matches. Bayern Munich has a strong squad depth, and this period without key players is an opportunity for others to step up. Players who have had limited playing time thus far might seize this chance to prove their worth and contribute meaningfully to the team.
Bayern Munich is one team that has very good player combinations, they have in the team quality and skilful players who are in their various positions performing their best. Yes there are competitions from Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a lot more competitions in the UCL but the team is capable of subduing the stress of the competitions. Tuchel has his eyes on the Bundesliga trophy and a bigger eye on the UCL trophy.

 Although Alonso seems as a threat with the current performance and display from Bayern Leverkusen but Tuchel who's more experienced has drafted out his plans, processes and techniques and he seems ready for any competition that awaits him. He's got a good team for himself and I believe he'd be able to be victorious in 95% of his encounters. Bayern Munich is just one good team that are a general threat to every team they're up against and they have better victory chances too.

Jeremie Frimpong was became an Leverkusen player since 2021 but there were no big teams who showing their interest to this player previously but Xabi Alonso know his potention that he can able to maximizing the talents of Jeremie Frimpong which make this player has been showing impressive performance at Leverkusen defensive lines and just like you says as a right back Frimpong is very productive because during this season at Bundesliga Frimpong was scores 5 goals and 6 assists so i am not surprised if Arsenal was interested to him

Arsenal indeed look for some of players this winter especially after Takehiro Tomiyasu will playing at Asian Cup so Arteta want to managed depth of squad for Arsenal because they have tight schedules at Premier league and Champion league and Arteta feel Frimpong is the right player to replace Tomiyasu because with Leverkusen Frimpong performance is quite consistent and besides Arsenal reported Liverpool also showing their interest to Frimpong because they look for the substitution player for Trent Alexander-Arnold and indeed Liverpool has Joe Gomez but the performance of this player was quite unstable so Klopp feel Liverpool have to bought at least 1 more player for right back position moreover Frimpong price tag is not too expensive
The transfer window is open now and it's going to be stay up until the end of the month and that's enough time for teams to maximize their chances of squad growth and improvement. There are expected additions and subtractions too and which ever way the effect will be evident. Anyways Frimpong is a very important player for Leverkusen, he's helped them get this far and even though Xabi Alonso decides to let go of one of his most priced assets I don't think it's going to be this transfer window.

 It's also time for Alonso to carefully make his choice of players change too. His team is doing just fine and it's his decision if he wants to effect any change to the team. He knows what he wants and at thesame time, I believe the EPL teams will be the ones with the greater squad changes this season. There are a number of players who they are aiming for, we will see all unfold in the course of the transfer window.

Rather than choosing Mbappe, of course Liverpool will still choose Mo Salah because he has become a symbol of Liverpool and has proven to make a big contribution. Liverpool will not carelessly take advantage of Mbappe trend and ignore what Mo Salah has provided so far. If on the other hand it turns out that Liverpool are really interested, then Mo Salah could feel disappointed with the news. After all Mbappe and PSG have now re-entered into a new agreement in which it is likely that Mbappe will finish the ongoing competition. PSG still needs Mbappe services in the UCL because in round 16 it is still not enough for PSG to feel safe.

Dreaming of Mbappe competing in the Premier League is the dream of many people, there is Haaland who is his competitor. But will that happen this season? While rumors of Mbappe close relationship with Madrid are still quite hot, the behind the scenes deal hasn't already happened. Madrid postponed the purchase in the January transfer window and are waiting for Mbappe next summer.
Mbappe is a good player with built in skills, also it's Liverpool's quest to go for him but it's not seeming concrete as the player is yet to make his final decision on the offer they may put before him. Even with this fact, the English club will still choose to retain and make more use of their Egyptian star. He's been with them for a while and has been able to deliver rightly at every game they play.

 Liverpool seems good with Salah still in the team and I don't think he's ready to go to a different team yet, if he eventually does, then I'm certain that they'd have a different style of performance subsequently. Also, if Mbappe's added to their squad, then one is certain that they'd have the perfect blend of attacking midfield and forward required. There's high chance that both players will resonate well to yield good and better results for the team.

Inter Milan vs Verona

Although Inter has just slipped last week because they playing draw against Genoa but their records is still very impressive that in the last 12 matches in Serie A Inter was unbeatable besides these records Inter also has got 4 wins at home with cleansheet status so Inter is really in the good condition and about their opponent Verona this team was so weak and since last season Verona always be hard struggling to avoiding relegation zone and this season too from 18 matches in Serie A Verona have already to lose 10 times and it makes they are one of the teams that could potentially be relegated

Draw result from Genoa makes Juventus can cut their gap points with Inter on league standings so if Inter want to stayed at first place then today Inter should be focus to this match to gets the winning result because if they failed to win again today then Juventus had good chances to taking over first place from them but i have a good news regarding Lautaro Martinez because this player recently has been return to training and Inzaghi will thinking possibility to played him since the beginning of match with Pavard however the bookmakers provide low odds for Inter @1.17 but other option just like both teams to scores or over 2.5 goals also seems good instead of Inter win
The Italian league seems to get tougher and teams are rapidly growing into high worth, quality and class. The growth is evident and enviable too. This makes for the widespread fun in the league race too. It's not so easy to predict the outcome of the games too. Juventus are good, so is Milan, Napoli and even Frosinone too.Inter Milan too are in good form and these teams are lasting threats.

 The race for the trophy is tough and all teams are determined and unwavering at their goal. The strongest teams of the league are Juventus and Inter and the odds for the trophy for these teams are very very much alike. Thankfully, they were able to secure a narrow win today when they played host to Verona, which although hasn't given them much point gaps too but is still promising. Inter are faced with the European contest and for Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games.

Antalyaspor 0 - 0 Alanyaspor

This was a very unpredictable game, with both teams coming from many draws in the last 5 games. Antalyaspor in the last 4 games had 2 draws, 1 victory and 1 defeat. while their opponent, Alanyaspor, in the last 4 games had 3 wins and 1 draw, so Alanyaspor had more chances of winning in this game, but the history of draws that both teams had been presenting in the last 4 games also gave reasons to thinking that this game could end in a draw and that's what happened, the game ended in a draw.

Besikitas 1 - 3 kasimpasa

I honestly thought that Besikitas would rise up and come out of this game with victory, since they had only 1 victory in the last 4 games, so it was necessary for them to put a lot of effort into this game to reverse the current bad situation of lack of consistent victories in which they are having it, it is true that their opponent was a little better than them when compared to the performance of the last 4 games, but it was not a difficult opponent for Besikitas to beat, I thought that before this game happened, but when the end came of the game, I was shocked how Besikitas lost very easily

It was as if Besikitas were playing against the top teams, with this defeat Besikitas has an impressive 1 victory in the last 5 games. Besikitas' luck is that they are in a position where they are not at risk of being relegated and do not have a big points difference with the teams that are in the qualifying zone for the European League and Conference League. so there is still a chance that Besikitas will be able to finish in a position where they will be allowed to play in European competitions, now if in the next games they continue to lose, then their situation will get worse
Days back, there were unfavorable results in the Turkish League. A goalless draw for Antalyaspor against Alanyaspor. The host side has a record of goal scoring and game victories but unfortunately, their visitors were able to hold them down and ensure too well that they didn't get a chance at a goal being scored. For the host, it was a bad game and for the visitors, it's a fair game as they didn't have to loose 3points.

 For Besiktas, they were the host to kasimpasa but still were shaded out of the game after being defeated by 3goals to just 1goal. It's very disappointing because all thought they were a better side based on previous records of performances but one way or another, they were just outrun. Encouraging game for the visitors as it's a boost into the next and a challenge of striving to come back in the league after incurring such loss.

With conditions and a crisis situation like this, it is impossible for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid and Girona who are at the top of the standings, especially as becoming league champions this season will be very difficult to do. Barcelona's performance still looks unstable and less consistent in its matches. Even though they won yesterday against Las Palmas, I saw that Barcelona's attack was not good and they were still having difficulty scoring goals. It is true that Xavi has to work hard to develop a good strategy, especially in his attack line, so that he can win in the next match.

Yes, that's right, Xavi really has to focus on the Copa del Rey, because Xavi's focus on the Copa del Rey could be a smart strategy considering that their chances look bigger in that competition. By focusing on the Copa del Rey, I believe they still have a big chance of becoming champions in the Copa del Rey. However, if Xavi can overcome this crisis and work hard to train with the players Barcelona already has, I'm sure they can become La Liga and Champions League champions even though the chances are very small.
The financial situation of Barcelona at the moment doesn't require an irrational spending. It requires careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needs to get out of the situation fast and so they wouldn't dare trade their chances. They've got eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just can't squeeze out that funds because it'll lead to another jeopardy.

 It's so sad that for the mean time, they'll be left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team would also mean a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona is just endurance whilst finding quick means out of this situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. The Copa del Rey is on and definitely, they're expected to perform better in most of their encounters.

 Yes, of course Real Madrid will continue to be a favorite in history because success in the Champions League by having a large number of trophies gives the impression of popularity for this club and on the other hand, Ancelotti always has very strong players and almost doesn't need new players except the current striker. Ancelotti is targeting this to be brought to Real Madrid.
Even though last season they failed to win the Champions League trophy, this season Real Madrid is very confident that they can win the title because after losing Benzema, who is very reliable, they have a replacement like Bellingham, whose playing style is very good and the talent he has is also very reliable.
Even though Manchester City is still said to be a candidate to win the champions League title, in my opinion it won't be possible to get it again this season because it has problems with injured players, but maybe Bayern munich could be the next strongest challenger because Munich current situation really very strong with the presence of a mainstay striker like Harry Kane.
Real Madrid is one team with very high players' quality. They've got more young stars and the club is seemingly promising as weeks and seasons go by. Real Madrid's team coordination is top notch, every player knows that they're meant to set the right build up to goals and so they play their specific roles to the best of their ability and leave the finishing work for the forward man.
The young stars are united and are very impressive competitively each passing game.

 Currently, they are a stable team and a manager would not really have a tough time handling the squad. They know what they're after and they know how to get it done adequately. This is part of an advantage to their growth and progress generally. One shouldn't be surprised that these team frequently wins trophies for themselves and won't stop winning too. They've got literally the best squad and management team currently and so they're very much good to go.

Yes, La Liga clubs do have a higher winning mentality, but even so, other clubs still have a big chance if they are able to compete more impressively in the Champions League and European League match. But last season, unfortunately, Real Madrid had to be eliminated earlier in the past and did not reach the final so that the Champions League trophy was won by the Premier League club Manchester City, Sevilla this season was also eliminated in the Champions League and in the Europa League so the opportunity to win the trophy may be between the Premier League club and the Bundesliga club while the Laliga club is taking part in the competition Only Villareal managed to qualify for the round of 16, but it seems like this club is not as much of a favorite as Liverpool and Leverkusen even though this club also played quite well in the group stage.

Leverkusen and Liverpool will certainly have a bigger chances in the European league and they will also focus on competing there to compete for the European League title, but they also have to focused on the domestic league in order to achieve good result too and next season they can compete in the Champions League, not in the European league.
The Europa League has been favorite for the Spanish Club especially Sevilla but this time we’ve more of English and Germal clubs remaining in the competition. Liverpool and Leverkusen seems favorite and will be more focused on winning the UEL so that they can add to their title collections because they’re both doing well domestically. We also have the likes of Westham from England who’re doing well in the UEL but might not go far.

 So this season I think either England or Germany will take home the UEL and I don’t think we’ll have anything short of this. My bet is on Leverkusen, despite the fact that they'll face a big competition from Liverpool and the rest of some too European teams that are still in the competition but I really want them to win the UEL title cause they've really maintained a good record, not only in the UEL but also in other competitions that they're still involved in.

However, this hope has the potential to be dashed for Ronaldo fans all over the world, if in the end Ronaldo is unable to bring Al Nassr to present the Saudi Pro League trophy plus the top scorer belongs to his rival Mitrovic. in this thread, it is very likely that almost most of them are Ronaldo fans, because Ronaldo is always the best-selling theme in every discussion in the Saudi Professional League thread. to be honest, I am a neutral supporter for this competition. the point is, I only enjoy matches that are interesting and crucial for me. the rest, I don't really follow the development of the lower middle teams. currently, the Saudi Pro League has presented 19 matches and Al Hilal is perched at the top of the standings.
meanwhile, Al Nassr is in the runner up position with a difference of seven points from Al Hilal. 7 points adrift of the top of the standings, this must be a strong motivation for Ronald and his colleagues to keep Al Nassr on the right track. apart from that, if Ronaldo cares about the competition for top scorers, Ronaldo automatically has to prove his capacity as a sharp player even though he is no longer young. after all, Ronaldo has a lot of support from his teammates. there are Sadio Mane, Talisca, Brozovic, and several other players. in terms of quality, Ronaldo gets special support from his teammates who have the ability to help him break into the opposing team's goal.

Apart from that, being 7 points behind doesn't have to discourage Ronaldo fans. after all, this competition still had a lot of matches left. and what is certain, overall Al Nassr will play on the right track. however, the rivals will not let their rivals get close to their points. which means, Jorge Jesus will try to ensure his squad stays on the winning track until they get closer to winning the trophy this season. likewise with Mitrovic, the Al Hilal center forward would be honored to compete with a star of Ronaldo's caliber. whether in terms of scoring goals, or bringing his team to win the League trophy. well, let's see how far these two teams compete and play their matches until the end of the season.
Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.

 The competition is still far way to its end and Al-Hilal must be able to maintain their form till the very end because any slip in 2 matches would make Al-Nassr overtake them and that’s pretty possible because football is a game and has 90 minutes to play. I think the competition between both teams is really fierce and interesting and the fans loves this healthy competition, Al-Hilal shouldn't be too comfortable with their spot on the table cause they're just 2 loses away from losing their position. And any mistake could see that become a reality which is something the CR7 fans are really hoping for.

That's true, Manchester City is not too late to catch up because the top 3 clubs have a small point difference so Manchester City still has the opportunity to reclaim the first position currently occupied by Liverpool because Manchester City still has 1 match remaining and if Manchester City is able to win the match then the difference in points with Liverpool is only 2 points and can shift Aston Villa in 2nd place so we shouldn't underestimate Manchester City just because they have lost a lot of points because they have had too many draws recently but in their last 2 matches Manchester City has returned to winning path so they are very ready to compete with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title.

Yes, the competitive nature of the Premier League is a big pressure for other clubs such as Aston Villa, Tottemham, West Ham, Brighton, Manchester United and Newcastle in competing for the top 5 positions, so they will struggle hard to achieve satisfactory results, but Manchester City is still quite stable in the league top position so it is not easy to displace Manchester City in the top position.
Manchester City are back in the title race and could cause some worries for other of their English counterparts especially as they’re now going to have the full squad back and in good shape. The points between them, Aston Villa and Liverpool is just a matter of a match to decide. I think it would take very long before they're catch up and begin to dominate the league as expected, I trust Pep Guardiola to do all he could in this 2nd half of the season to get to the very top of the league.

 Manchester City are pretty good when chasing for the title and they’re very determined to retain this title again. The EPL competition will be to much for Young Aston Villa but I think they might mot be able to contain the pressure from Tottenham and probably Manchester United. Manchester City has never been written off the league race rather I think other teams should be scared of their current form, especially now that KDB has turned, including Haaland as well.

During the two seasons Manchester United was coached by Erik Ten Hag, there were no significant changes, but in his first season, Erik succeeded in bringing Manchester United to finish in 3rd place in the standings and qualify for the Champions League. But in his second season, Erik Ten Hag was unable to maintain Manchester United performance because until week 20, or to be precise, they had played 20 matches but they were still stuck in 8th place in the standings. I think Erik Ten Hag is not a coach who will be able to bring Manchester United to success like the Ferguson era. He often makes trouble with his players, such as his incident with Ronaldo and Sancho. so that the coach incompatibility with the players will make it quite difficult to see that they can achieve their targets.

Not only that is a big problem but also the recruitment made by Erik Ten Hag is also not able to shine well under his coaching. This season it is possible that Manchester United will finish outside the top 4 which will most likely have a bad impact on Erik coaching career because he could be fired again if that is the reason management writes a letter of dismissal to Erik Ten Hag.
Well should we say he did well in his debut season to get the fans on his side because if we really check, most of the new players flourished that first season but now they’ve slowly gone under the carpet. And now their performance can't be likened to that of previous seasons. Maybe the injury crisis might have been part of the problem but United fans should grow past that excuse and blame the coach when necessary cause there are sometimes his poor decision making cause them to drop points.

 I think and the fans should start knowing that ETH could be one of the problems experienced because he’s not able to instill proper discipline on the players and that’s one quality of a good coach. Yes they’ll not be getting the top 4 spot but what’ll be crazy is of they’ll be heading to the Conference League maybe then the fans will turn to the coach. If Ten Hag wants to lead this team back to their glory days then he needs to start acting like a leader and instill proper discipline on this players.

will never happen and it is absolutely impossible for me that Nice can overtake PSG, whereas in terms of player performance two teams are very different and PSG is far superior to Nice.
on the one hand, believe it or not, I will be more confident that at the end this season, Nice will no longer be the runner up but Monaco will be the runner up in league 1 because in terms of experience, Nice is actually just like lucky team to be able to get runner up in the meantime, but the fact Nice still looks very inconsistent and will slowly fall to position below Monaco.

Its true that Nice seems very strong, but let's take a closer look at every performance of this team, even when playing against teams below them like
Le Havre and Nantes were unable to beat these two teams whereas team that is said to be quite strong and consistent will not be able to be beaten by a team below it and will usually only hold a draw because it maintains its consistent quality and from what I have said this is about the fact that Nice is not strong team and this is just a lucky team that is able to take advantage of the opportunity when top team has schedule to compete in another competition.
PSG are traditional winners of the French League and yes Nice this season have improved so well but I don’t think they’ll be able to overtake PSG. Yes the competition will be beneficial Nice but I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up for long. Monaco will be a better competitor than Nice, so I think that’ll be Nice’s major competition and not PSG who’ll sure get the league. Nice haven’t been so consistent and that’s one reason I don’t see them ending in the top 2 of the league.

 Winners of a league will not find it difficult to get victory over smaller teams but we’ve seen Nice already struggle against smaller teams and that’s not the characteristics of champions. However I love their improvement in the Ligue 1, they've turned from a mediocre team in the Ligue 1 to one of the top challengers for the title race, Nice might not win the Ligue this season but participating in the UCL next season seems very likely.

The fact that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint Germaine doesn't mean that Manchester City's most priced asset Erling Haaland would also want to leave the English, European and world champions to go and join Paris Saint Germaine. Haaland is in a club where he's getting everything a top footballer would want to get ajd if he's ro leave Manchester City anytime soon, I don't think his preferred destination will be Paris Saint Germaine. How can a player leave a club as big as Manchester City for a club who is yet to win the UEFA champions league competition trophy in their history.

Sometimes in football, financial package of transfer offers doesn't determine a player's decision so if Paris Saint Germaine tables financial package that's too mouthwatering for Erling Haaland, I don't think it'll make the Norwegian change his mind and leave a Manchester City side that's managed by Pep Guardiola
The two players' condition can't be complained. We will agree that the style of play currently in City and PSG are different with City's style being the better one. PSG currently aren't so concrete with their performance and so Mbappe's impact is extra and his projection is a bit threatened too. The club isn't doing extra well currently but Mbappe either has to stay till his contract expires or till whenever Madrid is up to have him or he'd rather accept an unfavorable transfer bid from another club.

 We know what he's aiming for and asides PSG, Madrid is the only one that can give him his bid but they're not ready for him yet. Halaand has a supportive and consistent winning team and he's doing good with them, it's less stressful and he gets the right amount of projection he needs for himself. I don't think money would make Haaland change his mind and move to the Ligue 1 cause he's in a team that's very promising and has already given him his 1st champions league silverware.

Even if Premier League and Bundesliga play is different, Harry Kane will easily adapt to the play. Harry Kane is not like other players who, when transferred to another league or club, find it difficult to adapt to how they play there. Harry Kane is a good player that can suit any league that they will play in. The guy normally plays as a striker, and he has the skill to score goals. However, Premier League and Bundesliga are not the same as you said; there is a difference between these competitions. Bundesliga: obviously there are great players in the Bundesliga; you know that too, so you cannot compare them.

However, Kane going to Bayern Munich will be something great for the team because I believe the player will bring positive results to the group. The player will do as much as he can to provide positive results for the team because of the teams that Harry Kane played with when he was playing for Spurs. Most of those teams are playing more than some teams in the Bundesliga, which made me believe that he will find it very easy to succeed in the Bundesliga competition without many challenges, and we see that he even has a team that has some potential players that will help Harry Kane play very well in their matches.
Harry Kane is a world class player, one that would adapt to any League he moves to, he started with a tough league and I believe that's why it was easy to him to pick up after one or two matches and begin to bag in goals like he does in the EPL, even though Kane had gone to Laliga, maybe playing for Barcelona or Realmadrid I think he would've still remain the Harry Kane he is, a skillfull and versatile striker that's always ready to convert the right pass into a goal.

 His presence alone changed the atmosphere for them, because ever since their former top 9 Lewandowski left they couldn't rely on Chupo-Moting and Muller in that position and Mane wasn't really helpful that's why the was sold. But the presence of Kane changed everything, he didn't even take too long  before he started impressing the fans and turned into one of their favorite. Harry Kane is already succeeding in Munich and the number of goals he's scored is a prove for that, hopefully he'll achieve a silver with them this season to completely seal the success.

Xabi has caught the attention of many with his impressive performances at the helm of Leverkusen, he can showcase the strategies that can bring his club to the fore at the moment. In the Bundesliga they have been impressive, and in the Europa League, they have been the same, in fact, they are probably the only unbeaten club in two different competitions, the Bundesliga and the Europa League.
I am sure he will be a coach that big clubs will fight for, even recently he was rumored to be close to Real Madrid before Ancelotti was confirmed to have made a new contract with Real Madrid.
If he can bring Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga or the Europa League, his name will be even more fragrant and he will get a lot of praise from many people. Yes, I think he deserves it as an appreciation for what he has shown.
Xabi deserves all the applauds he’s getting now and will get more of he succeeds in clinching either the Bundesliga or the UEL. He’s transformed this mediocre Leverkusen team to a big night mare for most big gun clubs. This Leverkusen team has remained unbeaten in all competitions this season and are pretty comfortable in both competitions and this is the quality of a good coach.

 A sound and disciplined team who’s winning. I think Xabi is already getting on the radar of jobs for top clubs and soon he’ll be a big name and will be a hall of fame coach if he continues this way. Kudos Xabi,  he's shown the world that he's a talented coach and his recent success in the Bundesliga is enough prove that he's ready to step up to a bigger club where he'll be backed up with enough funds that would make him easily major silver wares.
