At least, when Lyon always managed to score in some previous matches such as against Lens, Rennes and several other matches. Then ya, I think, at that time Lyon seemed to have good potential to recover even though indeed, after those matches the fact Lyon still lost big too like when playing against Marseille lost with a big score of 3-0 and also lost against Lille with a score of 2-0.

But even so, the fact is that Lyon still managed to recover even though slowly. But ya, ofcourse, with good results from these three consecutive matches, then Lyon managed to get out of the relegation zone in the first half of the season . Furthermore, it is clear that Lyon still needs to work hard to be able to completely stay away from the relegation zone in order to get a safer position of course.

However, it seems like Stuttgart also can't just ask for a bigger fee from the team that bids for it unless (correct me if I'm wrong) if Stuttgart wants to give Sehrou Guirassy a contract renewal followed by a bigger clause release renewal then the bargaining process to get a big fee could be achieved by Stuttgart. Maybe if Sehrou Guirassy feels comfortable at Stuttgart and plans to take this team to a consistent level then he will stay completely.

But I'm quite doubtful considering that he certainly has dreams of joining a bigger team and has a long history, maybe we will see offers from elite European teams pouring in large amounts of funds to bring him from Stuttgart.

In this match and in the first innings of Pakistan Muhammad Rizwan played very well but unfortunately, he was injured and that's why the Pakistan team came into trouble, and Saud Shakeel also played well with him, they both made a partnership but some miracle happened and both have been injured, the main player has been injured so we don't have any hope with other players. but thankfully, that match was a tour match and just for 2 days otherwise Pakistan team would have lost this match, and Saud Shakeel also played well with him, they both partnership but some bad luck happened and both were injured.

The second test match between Pakistan and Australia will start on this Tuesday, 26 December in Melbourne. Looking at the current performances and trouble in the Pakistan team, it will be hard for them to win or even draw that test too.

This will be one of the most challenging competitions in the 16th century. Barcelona vs Napoli. Both of them have not been at their best this season due to several problems occurring within their clubs. But at least, they are strong enough for each other, so they still have a chance. It's quite difficult to predict, but it's possible that Barcelona will come out on top if you look at how prepared the club is so far. Moreover, Napoli is having basic problems, especially those related to their coaching,

In fact, the points difference between them and the teams above them is very small. Even if they can only win 1-2 matches, the team will be in a much better place. But unfortunately they can't start winning those matches.
It will be very difficult to predict which team will continue to stay in the league until the last weeks. Lyon showed that it is not impossible to get out of here by winning matches 3 weeks in a row, we will continue to watch the teams that can do this next season

India mustered 193 runs before the lunch break. The team lost only three wickets. The two openers got off to a decent enough start. Although Sneh Rana was out for just 9 runs, Richa and Jemimah are batting very responsibly. Both are unbeaten with 24 runs. The Australian captain used his 7 bowlers. Still unable to get the Indian batsmen out.

Australia's bowlers' performance today is very poor. They gave 22 extra runs in 52 overs. On the other hand, the Indian bowlers gave only 2 extra runs in the first innings. India might even be able to take a lead of 200+ runs if Australia women's bowlers continue such uncontrolled bowling.

Yeah the race is still on, but my question is Girona make it to the top again? Even though the have the same point with real Madrid, we all know that Madrid is one of the strongest team in Laliga this season and they are capable of holding that position to the end, Barcelona which I believe can stop them are really in mess too their performance is so weak to the extent that they are managing to even be in top three. Conclusion can not be draw at this moment because Girona still have opportunity to make it to the top if the can work more on their performance because Laliga is the only league they are playing on like Madrid that is involved in three competition so there is still hope for them.

Girona should either win or draw tonight, losing is not an option tonight, I don't know about Real Madrid bit judging from how they played during the last game even with some key players absent, they will still have to make sure winning the same way they did last game happens tonight. So far, they're the best side in La Liga following up with the pace set by Girona.

Barcelona would have to fix the defenders and learn to score goals. The lack of a good defensive midfielder to shield the defense has got to be part of the entire issues.
Araujo cost a big blunder twice yesterday. Robert Lewandoski on the other side needs to be dropped. They have a new youngin already training with the squad but will begin next season. He will be a big impact for em.

Even the last summer there was much news about Ancelotti leaving the team to Brazil and Real Madrid was also seeking alternative options for this coach but in the lat moments he didn't do that and he preferred to stay in his team However I think there's certainly a higher chance for Ancelotti to this time leave Real Madrid for Brazil which can make improvements in this team.

Manchester City's current form I believe they have lost the Premier League trophy this season because of the key player De Bruyne's injury, which has caused them to lose form like last season, because before De Bruyne's injury Manchester City were playing well and everyone believed they would still win the trophy, but I am very sure Guardiola will not win the Premier League title this season. I believe Arsenal or Liverpool will win the league, but I believe on Liverpool most because arsenal like to fuck up in some games and they are playing with Liverpool this weekend, the match will be very tough because both of them are in good form and no one wants to lose the game, I think the match will end in a draw because if Liverpool makes a mistake and loses, Arsenal will get the opportunity to top the league table, and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to top the premier league table again.

I have also heard this news for long time and it looks fine without any problems so Ancelotti has been confirmed as coach of the Brazilian national team.
There seems to be no signing yet because considering that Ancelotti himself is coach who still has contract with Real Madrid, perhaps after his contract expires there will be an inauguration or signing of an agreement from both parties.

There is the name Xabi Alonso who is always associated with Real Madrid to be able to replace Ancelotti and of course Ancelotti has also agreed or stated that Xabi Alonso will be good coach for Real Madrid.
All this is because of Xabi Alonso achievements in bringing Leverkusen to improve the quality of the game and consistently succeeding in bringing Leverkusen so far to the top of the standings and has the opportunity to become Bundesliga champions.

I also think that Real Madrid doesn't need to look for an alternative who can replace Ancelotti for a longer time because there are also several reports circulating that Xabi Alonso is also interested in being able to train the Real Madrid squad and lead them to title UCL again.

Let's hope barcelona to miss another three points again. This can be a good thing to told xavi if his team was performing so badly. Anyone was willing to see barcelona to win against almeria but i hope almeria will give us a surprise like getting draw against barcelona.
barcelona may be playing offensively against it and it can also become an opportunity for almeria to play fully defensive strategy against it. In fact, the parking bus strategy has always become the key factor to beat barcelona.
Almeria can use it as the main weapon for the upcoming game soon. Let's see how good barcelona in maintaining its game play against the worst club in the league.

I'm not really sure if Brazil is really serious about recruiting Ancelotti. Throughout history, Brazil has never recruited a coach who is not from their own country. I am sure that with the large amount of talent that Brazil has, they will definitely recruit coaches from their country because if they recruit coaches from other countries, it will have an impact on the characteristics of Brazil's game and this will be detrimental to Brazil in the long run. Moreover, Ancelotti, who is from Italy, is clearly very different from the style of play between Italy and Brazil. Therefore, I am sure that the Brazilian football federation will be more careful in recruiting a new coach because the target is not just to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but how the new coach does not abandon the characteristics of the Brazilian game that they have maintained for years.

I am always interested in watching Girona matches since their performance has improved, this team plays very solidly and has a real mission. They were also able to do well even though the players in their squad were not as prominent as the players Barcelona and Real Madrid had. Their unity in playing has succeeded in getting positive results, now it's just a matter of how they do it in the remaining matches.
If they are too quickly satisfied with the results achieved, then the League title will be very difficult to obtain. However, if they continue to struggle by maintaining their best game, it is not impossible for them to beat Real Madrid in the title race.

New Zealand Women  vs  Pakistan Women

New Zealand Women's team and Pakistan Women's team meet today in the last ODI match of the series. The New Zealand team has already won the series by winning the first two matches. In both the matches, we have seen the excellent performance of New Zealand batsmen. However, the New Zealand women's team could not provide a big target in today's match. Today the New Zealand team has given a target of only 253 runs.
Since the target is not big, Pakistan has a chance to win today's match. But the performance of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic. Pakistan lost their two wickets for 37 runs. At the end of 14 overs, Pakistan women's team collected 53 runs.

I don’t wish for the final to come too early as it happened last season when the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was played at the semifinals matchup. It was very obvious that any team that won between those two in the semifinals will be the champions league winners and that was what happened after Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid from the semifinal. I can’t say for now which league teams will make it to the final just yet. The elimination stage draws will decide more on which team would make it far in this competition before getting to the final stage of the competition.

The most important thing is that they got the maximum three points. Napoli has suffered from some setbacks that made them lose so many points but they are gradually regaining lost ground. I don't think any club deserves to be underrated because such a club could surprise big teams. This is why I think Napoli deserves praise instead of criticism. I don't also care much about clean sheets especially if the club keeps winning. Clean sheets don't attract additional points, so they are not so important.  I am just pleased that Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are regaining form which is evident in their performance in the game yesterday.

In today match if we have won for the PSG then surely, they could be strongly settled at the top and their difference could be seven points from the second spotted team but in case of draw/ Lille win this will create good competition between top teams for having their chances for the top ranks in future as well.

This match was a do or die match for England. England team would have lost the series if they did not win this match. England could not win the ODI series. England lost badly against West Indies. But the performance of England players in the last match was excellent. The pitch was batting friendly. So West Indies were able to set a huge target of 223. England's two openers got off to a great start by batting against such a huge target. Although Jos Buttler was dismissed for 51 off 34 balls, Phil Salt batted responsibly. And in the end, Salt was unbeaten by collecting 109 runs from just 56 balls. But the England team managed to win in the end with Harry Brook's 7-ball 31 runs. England team collected 24 runs in the last over. And in the last 4 overs England's collection was 74 runs.

Napoli haven't been very good this season, that's the point, even with the victory they achieved in this match it doesn't fully make them can be said to be performing well, but this victory will certainly be able to increase their confidence after the losing streak they felt. It's a result they should be grateful for because it's a very good one, even though they struggled to get it.
The distance of 11 points from the top of the table is something that is very difficult for them to pursue, but even so at least they can compete in the top 4 even though they are not completely safe, because the remaining matches in Serie A are still very much and it can change the situation. The opportunity is still there, they can still catch up even though it is something very difficult, but not an impossible thing.
