It's quite a pity to see Juventus because it seems like they have a lot of problems after facing sanctions last year, now their players are experiencing cases, from doping that happened to Pogba to gambling and being banned for 7 months, which means it's a loss for Juventus because they won't be able to get their services for long enough.
You are right and in fact that is not only what Juventus has to do but also other clubs because cases like this are very likely to be carried out by players from other clubs, but I am quite sure that players who receive punishment like this deserve to have their salaries cut and so on because their actions make them not can play for the club.

Rasmus Hojlund just gave his answer when asked about Erling Haaland, he didn't even hesitate to admit that Erling Haaland is at another level and currently he is not comparable to him. Rasmus Hojlund also added that Erling Haaland is the best striker in the world and as one of his rivals in the EPL, of course Rasmus Hojlund's maturity in responding to this should be appreciated. Since the beginning of Rasmus Hojlund's arrival, he has always been compared to Erling Haaland and of course the fans of these two teams will always provide support for each player.

On the other hand, of course we will also see the two of them competing on the EPL top scorer this season, but to approach Erling Haaland's level it will take Rasmus Hojlund a lot longer. It would be very nice if both of them were at the same level and the future of the two Manchester teams would be completely in the hands of a talented generation.

I know how disappointing it can be when one see the poor performance that Roma started with this season. At least they have won three consecutive games now and it has brought hope back to the club. Who knows if they have come back to start winning games like last season.

Roma will go far in Europa Cup if they can work on their performance to make them active in scoring and winning games. Mourinho is some how depreciating in his coaching skills from the look of things and I don't know if the failure is from the players or from him. Let's hope to see good results from Roma in their next matches.

I also think so it seems it will be difficult for Manchester United to be able to secure second place. The reason is that we know that currently the Red Devils have not won a single point and their chances will be increasingly slim in the next match. I feel Manchester United will miss the opportunity to qualify for the top 16 and they will at least finish in 3rd place and play in the European league with Liverpool. That is a possibility that I think could happen and regardless of whatever they try with the current situation, of course it is quite impossible. Galatassaray is a pretty definite candidate after Manchester United's failure in the last few matches and I think with decent squad depth they can maintain their current position in Group A.

AakZaki I will say what decisions he shouldn't have taken.

First of all, he shouldn't have got rid of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Secondly, he should have got rid of Harry Maguire. he definitely should have sold him for 25 million that was being offered for him even a few days ago if I recall correctly..

Thirdly, he shouldn't have gotten rid of De Gea. Right now, it is just his old Ajax buddies in Manchester United. He let Cristiano Ronaldo go. Now, who does he have as the striker? And meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is scoring at an unbelievable rate. This year Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals than anyone so far if I am not wrong. He brought a new goalkeeper, and why do we not see any improvement?

I don't think Barcelona management will decide  to fire Xavi. Actually I don't see any possibility of that. Take a look back when Koeman was the coach of Barcelona,  I saw the performance of Barcelona. you know Barcelona had a very bad time. Since Xavi took charge of the team, the overall condition of the team has started to  change. Even with the help of Xavi,  Barcelona won La Liga last season.

And if you look throw this season, Barcelona is  playing quite well. Although Barcelona is not at the top of the table. However you can't deny  their performance  is quite good.

So why would the Barcelona management decide to sack Xavi?
I can't find any valid reason for it.

It is reported that after the Copa America competition has ended, Angel Di Maria will announce his retirement. But it seems that he will only retire from the Argentina national team and he will remain focused until his contract ends with Benfica. Angel Di Maria's journey in Europe was certainly extraordinary, he even played for big teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG and Juventus before he finally returned to his old team, namely Benfica at this time. Angel Di Maria is one of the best wingers ever and with Argentina last year winning the world cup trophy made him enough to achieve everything in football.

I have been thinking about the drop in Haaland's form recently. First of all it is totally normal for any player of course. I have been just thinking about whether there could be a special reason affecting it as well. De Bruyne's absence came to my mind after that. The reason why is that there was a great relationship between these two players. 

De Bruyne was sending a lot of balls to Haaland to make him more active and effective in the attacking line. You know how great De Bruyne can pass the balls to his teammates. He is like a magician. I hope that Haaland can reach his usual level sooner or later. I'm still contented with his goal effort so far of course. But I would like to see him doing good during the full season as well.

Leroy Sane is a good palyer but after choosing this palyer, Liverpool accepted the fact that they were about to lose Salah and this is not good for any team to lose their legendary palyer. Because even if Salah stays in Liverpool after being offered a huge amount of money he obviously lost his focus for the next games and the best thing to do for this palyer is to leave.
  

Since Jude Bellingham has improved the formation of Real Madrid to be a better one, let Ancelotti not build the Real Madrid winning to be on Jude Bellingham the same way he did when Benzema was playing for Real Madrid. By January, Real Madrid needs at the very least sign additional strikers in case Jude Bellingham sustains injuries before or during a Real Madrid match.

Real Madrid would probably prefer to bring home either the LaLiga or Champions League title this season. That will fall on the entire team, not just one individual. The entire team should be prepared for the important games that are coming because it won't be simple for only Jude Bellingham to carry them through.

Although Manchester City experienced a decline in performance due to the absence of De Bruyne but still, the quality between Manchester City when compared to Chelsea is clear. That Manchester City still has better quality than Chelsea, and Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City too. Therefore, I personally remain confident that Arsenal will succeed in defeating Chelsea in the next match. Also, I personally really don't care about the two consecutive wins Chelsea got, because basically the opponents Chelsea faced were also not the top team so it was natural that Chelsea managed to get two consecutive wins against mediocre teams like that.

It seems Liverpool started searching for alternative options for Salah because they know there is a high chance for him to leave Liverpool for the Saudi team and even during this summer Salah was very close to signing a contract with the Saudi teams, Liverpool knows the Saudis can hire Salah in the end and that's why they want to hire Leroy Sané to fill the pale of Salah for them.
If this happens for Leroy Sané and Liverpool, Manchester City will also take benefits from this deal because if they sell Leroy Sané Manchester City can take 10 percent of the deal.

Real Madrid overcome Napoli challenges easily when they beat Napoli with a score of 3-2 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Real Madrid chances of getting out of Group C as Group winners are very big, one of the toughest competitors has been overcome, they only need to overcome Napoli in the second leg when they play away to Santiago Bernabeu. Two other teams, SC Braga and Union Berlin, can be easily overcome by Real Madrid. Real Madrid current performance will be the most frightening threat for its competitors.

Ancelotti had to limit Jude Bellingham playing minutes, he had to rest Bellingham in a relatively easy match for Real Madrid in order to maintain his condition so he wouldn't get injured easily. Bellingham current performance is very beneficial for Real Madrid, Real Madrid must always maintain his condition to avoid the risk of injury.

In the latest news, Barcelona has taken notice of Kaoru Mitoma. Their scouts are quite impressed with Mitoma's remarkable progress and development. Barcelona particularly needs more firepower on the left wing, as they have several options on the right wing, like Raphinha and Ferran Torres. They are willing to spend around 50 to 55 million pounds for this transfer. Additionally, Manchester City is actively pursuing Mitoma. What do you think would be the best place for him to go?

The paradigm is already changing and it is so obvious to everyone and including the Europeans. Before now the Europeans uses the world best players to control football just like what they did with Ronaldo and Messi in Laliga for so many seasons. If Saudi Arabia has learnt how to buy important players despite their age, they are one step closer to thin down the competition line.

The successful takeover of Newcastle United and that of Manchester United about to happen is another signal. The main tool to control this football industry is money and the Saudi Arabians are really to invest even more funds to achieve their desire. Time will tell how fast they will be to achieve this.

Germay teams don't have what it take to pull a tough battle for the the Bundesliga this season, perhaps this season kind of seems quite different due to the current standings on the table with Bayer Leverkusen that totally understands the entire operations of these teams. Borrusia Dortmund is the only consistent contender with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title every season. But they have woefully failed due to the one repetitive mistakes they kept making. That's selling their important players to elite sides in every transfer summer, it's not longer amazing because they do make quite good figures from these players.

it was because of Ten Hag's lack of confidence in the players on the team. He was very confident in the players he chose in the squad, but when they experienced problems with fitness and cards, Ten Hag had no other solution to form a strong squad.

However, this is only the beginning of the season and if Ten Hag does not improve the performance of all the players in the team, then they will experience a decline in the standings. Ten Hag clearly knows United's problems, but he is having difficulty finding solutions.

If Osimhen wanted to leave in the transfer market yesterday, I think he would have found a good club. but he chose to stay at a club that had just won a trophy. The change of coach and several names leaving clearly affected Napoli's game. The hope of all fans is to see Napoli perform like last season, but however there are several points that are different. they have to accept reality. and if Osimhen wants to leave the team, I think he still has good enough value to be able to join a big European club. he has quality.

Giuseppe Marotta said that Onana was one of the great goalkeepers they had and even managed to take part in bringing Inter Milan to the Champions League Final last season even though they lost to Manchester City.
With Onana transfer to Manchester United it is actually big advantage for Inter Milan because previously they could bring in Onana for free without any transfer fee but now Onana is not in good condition with Manchester United and Giuseppe Marotta also hopes that Onana can return to his performance as before even though the chances of being able to bring Onana back home are slim.

We don't know what Onana will be like in the Manchester United squad and it seems that Ten Hag also doesn't really believe in using Onana in the squad he coaches.
If it is true that Onana can return to Inter Milan maybe this will also be an advantage for Manchester United.

Real Madrid already have remarkable depth in their midfield which can carry them into the next generation, even without the inclusion of Jude Bellingham.
- Fredico Valverde (25 years),
- Eduardo Camavinga (20 years)
- Aurélien Tchouaméni (23 years)
- Arda Güler (18 years)

Madrid have been very futuristic in their recent signings and are set to build a team that can dominate the spot for years to come. When you throw in 20 year old Jude Bellingham they have are a very scary team to play against.

To the El clasico we should all understand that it is just one match with three points up for grabs. Three points dropped in that fixture and any other one matters the same, it only has psychological value to boost their morale.
