And on the contrary, if you want to get rich, learn to avoid what OP has told us. Everyone wants to get rich of course but it’s hard to get rich when you are used doing the opposite way. Hence, by not focusing on one source of income, by not overspending, and by not being so generous all the time, you will get eventually rich in the process.

Well, I don’t say that you have to live your life the hard way, but live your life accordingly, which means by having self-discipline and control over yourself, you will live your life being productive and progressive.
Yes, that's right, OP used sarcasm. We have to be smart in interpreting what OP means, everyone wants to be rich and everyone has to avoid what OP says so that we can be rich.

Of course, to become rich we have to look for skills that make us intellectually curious, so that we are truly interested in learning them. Knowing that luck can be created, because luck is an opportunity that meets readiness. Stop trading time for money. Try to develop assets that make money even while we sleep. Don't get caught up in the social status game but focus on increasing assets and reducing debt.

And finally, getting rich slowly is the best way, don't be too eager to get rich suddenly/quickly. Maybe we are slower than other people, but a journey will be judged by the last place we arrive, not how winding the road is.

Yep. Talking about the potential of Madrid's young players makes more sense than spending €1 billion just on Mbappe.
And I think Madrid is now focused on regeneration. They have no interest in creating Galacticos Volume III and the like.
Currently, 11 young players will replace Luka Modric's generation.
Arda Guler, Rodriguez, Bellingham, Camavinga, Vinni, Rodrygo, and Brahim Diaz are the Next dream team and  Madrid's future projects.
Real Madrid knows what is best for itself in the future, so it will not immediately be fooled by recruiting Mbappe if there is no more reasonable clarity and just to spend more money without anything that Real Madrid itself can hope for. I also agree more with what you say because young players will be more suitable to be maintained and polished well for the future of Real Madrid rather than continuing to think about new players even though their age is not yet in the old category.
I see that the Madrid squad this season has a lot of young players, but most of the young players are in midfield positions, Real Madrid still needs one striker and two central defenders. If this has been achieved then Galacticos Volume III will be achieved. Don't get me wrong, Real Madrid money isn't everything. Until now, Real Madrid still has high hopes for Mbappe, and Mbappe has also said that if he leaves PSG he will go to Real Madrid. However, currently there is a lot of drama about Mbappe, making it difficult for Mbappe to leave because PSG management is making it difficult for Mbappe to leave PSG.

You also need to know that Real Madrid is the most successful and stable club in the world, both in terms of finances and achievements. So Real Madrid is not afraid of having to spend a lot of money on Mbappe. This is just an assumption, I think Mbappe signs a pre-contract this winter or this January, then signs a contract with Real Madrid in the summer/next season.

It seems, if Napoli keep Mazzarri until the end of the season then ya, there seems to be no good chance for Napoli to be able to improve its position in the Serie A standings. Although indeed, in the past Mazzarri had a good history in becoming head coach for Napoli. But ya, of course the past and in this era at least have different match tensions and of course different styles of play too. So yes, it doesn't seem right if Napoli expect a lot with Mazzarri to repeat his success like in the past. Because anyway, Mazzarri is also not used to handling other elite teams out there, so basically Napoli still needs the right coach to restore Napoli quality and performance.
What happened to Napoli this season was really sad, after winning the Serie A title, their game immediately changed even though not many players left. It is true that Napoli is strong because of coach Spalletti, but now that they have changed coaches twice, their performance has not improved, even with coach Mazzarri, Nopoli is getting worse. I don't know if a change of coach will be the solution for Napoli now to improve their ranking in the standings, but what is clear is that this is not the right choice. Changing coaches will not improve playing performance because changing coaches requires more adaptation. What Napoli needs to do now is continue to correct mistakes in every match so that the team's confidence can rise again. Nopoli's condition is very bad now. Even Leicester have never performed that badly a year after they won the EPL title.

If Chelsea is losing this match, there is a problem. I don't care if it's a cup match or not. Chelsea should have won this match. It is obvious that there are problems in the goal path. Alarms are ringing in Chelsea after losing to a team from a lower league. Now it is necessary to seriously question why the players play like this.
I was also quite surprised when Chelsea lost to a team like that in the EFL Cup, because it is very unlikely that Chelsea would not consider that match to be important. Moreover, the opponent also came from a lower league so it was appropriate for Chelsea not to lose, but in reality it was very unexpected and it was completely beyond my reasoning. Because Chelsea usually often faces teams that are stronger than Middlesbrough in the Premier League.
Chelsea's first leg match was very disappointing even though their opponents were a weak team, even in the Championship, Middlesbrough was ranked 12th in the standings. In this match, Chelsea actually had many opportunities to equalize the score or make a comeback after Middlesbrough scored a goal by Hayden Hackney in the first half, but Chelsea were unlucky in this match.

I don't think Chelsea needs to dwell on this sadness because they have plenty of time in the next two weeks to improve and develop an effective strategy to try to recover in the second leg. Moreover, in the second leg, Chelsea will act as hosts at Stamford Bridge. Indeed, this match was very disappointing but I am sure Chelsea will respond in the second leg, especially with a one goal difference, I don't think this is too difficult for Chelsea.

2021 Jadon Sancho was sold from Dortmund to Manchester United for 85 million euros. Since then, he has not performed as well as he used to at Dortmund. Now both clubs have agreed that Sancho will return to Dortmund for the next 6 months. The medical check still has to be done. Let see if he can regain his old form. He played his last game at Manchester United at the end of August. Dortmund has no option in the contract to buy him after the 6 months.
Jadon Sancho makes u-turn to Borussia Dortmund, he haven't enjoyed any moments in Manchester United, he didn't get his flowers and critical differences with the coach. Borrusia Dortmund generate profits from the sales of their important players, inturn these players are the necessary players that are obligated to help the club and raised them to good levels in football. Big loss on Manchester United end, they're unable to make good use of the English man and we would wait and see him play in Dortmund jersey, he got the fire inside him.

Lol, even this season Jadon Sancho only played in Manchester United first three matches and after that, Jadon Sancho not available in the Manchester United squad. It's very funny to me, because even though the player is an expensive transfer, but in reality Manchester United seems to easily ignore this player. Therefore, with Jadon Sancho returning to Dortmund then yes, I hope it will be a regret for Manchester United because they failed to maximize the great potential that Jadon Sancho has. Moreover, at this moment Dortmund is also in a bad trend because it is still outside the top four in the Bundesliga standings. So yes, I hope Jadon Sancho can really restore Dortmund in the second half of this season and yes, I hope Jadon Sancho succeeds in returning Dortmund to the top four of course.
If Jadon Sancho returns to Borussia Dortmund and Dortmund moves up the rankings after his return, we will see once again that the problem is with Manchester United. How can Sancho prove himself if Manchester United do not give him enough time? I'm sure he'll get better as he plays. I hope Manchester United realize they made a mistake by sending him off.
I even want to say that this is Jadon Sancho's opportunity to prove that he is a player with extraordinary potential and Man United will regret wasting his potential. I am also sure that the presence of Jadon Sancho at Dortmund will bring Dortmund back to the top four.
Man United officially destroyed their player's career. So, for me, it's not a bad transfer decision, it's a bad management decision, the manager doesn't know how to manage a game changer or a big football star, it's nothing personal. You just have to accept when other players have crazy skills and just give them motivation and confidence and make them feel appreciated.

I think Aston Villa's chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season are very big and I'm sure they will be able to qualify. But honestly I don't see any chance of them becoming champions unless they are able to do what Leicester did in the 2015/2016 season. But it was a miracle like a fairy tale. If you look at the opportunities, I think in this modern era it will be difficult if the team is not able to perform consistently and has good squad depth. But let's just wait and see what Aston Villa can do at the end of the season.
This is why the EPL league is so interesting to follow. Newcastle's phenomenal last season, Aston Villa's phenomenal season, two historic clubs. I also think with you, Aston Villa in my opinion securing the top four seems more realistic than becoming champion because it is very difficult, Liverpool and Man City are teams that have a strong mentality and can be consistent. Moreover, Man City, with the return of their star KDB, will certainly find it difficult to compete with them, even though in the previous match Aston Villa managed to beat Man City, but in my opinion, in the second match they will not be able to beat Man City a second time.

Aston Villa's next match is against Everton, this match can be said to be an even match but I am sure Aston Villa will not waste the opportunity to continue collecting three points in every match so that their position remains safe in second place in the EPL league. Even though this match will be played at Everton's home ground, I think Aston Villa will win this match.

@EL MOHA Erik fielded a very strong lineup against Wigan and that says it all how important it was to win in yesterdays game but to be honest they needed to score more goals to convince me that they’re on the right track. Furthermore for now Ten Hag job is safe but I really don’t see any improvement and thus I have a feeling unless he can get fresh player’s he’ll be sacked for sure because this team will let him down at some stage.
This shows that only in the FA Cup competition is Man United's only remaining hope of winning the title. And for me it's natural for Erik Ten Hag to field players with a complete squad, besides that they also don't take Wigan lightly. Because this is also about betting on Erik Ten Hag's fate at Man United.

But I saw this match. Man United played a pretty good game, lots of chances were created, but they were still scoring goals. This is still a problem for Erig Ten Hag that must be fixed, and the back line must also be improved. However, I hope Man United fans don't criticize the players too much because it will disturb concentration and increase pressure, so just let it go and it will definitely be better until the end of the competition. Because I see that Man United is currently unable to get up because after every match the fans always criticize the players brutally if the players make mistakes which makes the players mentally down.
188  Economy / Economics / Re: How will the BRICS currency influence Bitcoin? on: January 09, 2024, 02:40:58 PM
So, we have seen a recent attempt by some of the BRICS nations to create their own currency to rival the US dollar in international trade. We know some countries that form part of this alliance, have been sanctioned and international transactions were blocked by SWIFT that are controlled by Western countries.

A lot of these countries started to use Crypto currencies like Bitcoin to bypass these restrictions, so it will be natural that less demand for Bitcoin would occur, once these countries created their own single currency.

What do you think will happen to Bitcoin, when these BRICS countries created their own digital currency? Will there be a significant drop in the demand for Bitcoin?

Do you think BRICS countries might opt to use Bitcoin for international trade or even as a replacement for the US Dollar? Will they simply exchange local currencies OR will they develop something new? ( Something that can be controlled by them?)

Let's discuss this...
BRICS has a very good long-term perspective because it is seen from the population of the members of the BRICS countries themselves, especially in the future the market could get bigger, both in the fields of agriculture, oil and gas mining, industrial technology, etc. It also seems that BRICS will not take long to expand and will eventually weaken the dollar. Whether we admit it or not, if we look at the countries that joined the Brics, they all oppose the US, of course the aim of creating the Brics is to weaken the dollar which has been monopolizing too much of the world with its dollar.

As for the impact on bitcoin, I don't think it will have any effect because bitcoin and Brics have different goals. After all, Bitcoin is a currency that has unlimited freedom and no one can control it. So there is no need to worry too much about BRICS, BRICS' presence is only to fight the dollar.

The disaster of war was the biggest storm in the history of human civilization. Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, etc. are very powerful. You cannot imagine how devastating the impact of war is compared to other natural disasters.

War not only causes loss of life, property and serious damage like other major disasters, but its impact is truly terrible. The prolonged terror of war makes life less peaceful and comfortable, the safety of life is always threatened. families are at stake, children and mothers... up to 24 hours day and night, body and soul feel tormented, miserable, struggling, suffering and tormented. This is all happening in Palestine right now, it is true that baikot cannot stop the war, but as humans who still have a sense of humanity but cannot do much, then baikot is one of the real actions that we can take. Even though Baikot did not stop the war, at least the world knows that almost half of the people in the world want this war to stop and give independence to Palestine.

I see this boycott as our compassion for the suffering of humans experiencing genocide and torture. Apart from that, this boycott also provides benefits for some countries, especially for my country to develop. because domestic products cannot compete with Zionist products in their own country. By carrying out this boycott, it is hoped that we can win the competition for domestic products, so that local products will become bigger and can even go international.

If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.

What does it mean?

  • Do not desire your own money. It turns you from a producer to a consumer.
  • Do not desire the money of others. Envy is a deadly sin. Because it will distract you from your own mission.
  • Do not desire the money you will make in the future. Desire good work right now, You don't want cash in, you want to serve.

Only this way you will get rich from zero.

How true is it? I want to ask the successful people here in this forum. What kind of rules or strategies that you guys use which led you to your success?
Working smart instead of working hard is the best thing to do here. We also need to focus on our goal and stay away from distractions. Nowadays, if you are not that smart you end up just losing all your money for nothing. Invest, hodl and harvest. That's the way it is to becaome successful but has to do it slowly and surely.
For me, to become rich from nothing, we must have the skills and perseverance to learn to develop further. The point is, if you want to be rich you have to work, and it's true as you said, we need to work smart to see opportunities, not work hard. We save income from our work and open a business. because for me as a businessman, no matter how small our business is, we are the boss. Meanwhile, no matter how big the company we join, we are still employees. So from there it is clear that being a businessman has more opportunities to gain profits which may be greater than being an employee.

Apart from that, we use half of our income for investment, be it bitcoin, land, shares, gold, trading, and so on. Enjoy the results 10-20 years later you will feel the impact on your finances.
191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What triggers the zeal to invest? on: January 09, 2024, 01:22:03 PM
I believe it takes a million risk to invest in Bitcoin, still people are left with more than a million reason to take the risk. A lot of us especially the newbies are still skeptical  investing, each with enough reason to invest and not to invest respectively. The core question here is; what triggers you to invest?...for myself, I haven't figured out any tangible reason why I should invest, solely because I'm yet to understand the nooks and crannies of the market fully. However, I'm working hard studying extensively to understand the market. I feel this great joy when one post his first time buying Bitcoin, I get this great zeal to buckle up and nurture the feeling of investing too, believing that one day, that which triggers the feeling to invest will come to manifestation. I envy every first timer Bitcoin buyer, cos I'm looking forward to being like them in no distance time.
Talking about risks, all investments have their own risks, and we must be brave enough to take risks to strengthen our finances in the future. For me, why invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is a decentralized system, it cannot be manipulated and stolen/hacked if we really guard it well. A system that has no government interference so that it is the first and only asset that provides full freedom and rights to its holders. The only asset that is not limited by any jurisdiction/borderless, everyone from any background can own it without conditions. This is what triggered me to invest in bitcoin.

So for me Bitcoin is an intersection between space and time.
- Fiat = annually devalued due to inflation but light to carry.
- Gold = value tends to rise in the long term but is heavy to carry.

They have been on a break in the champions league, and I expected them to perform well in Serie A and try to accumulate plenty of points before the champions league resumed, but their poor form has continued, and their hopes of qualifying for the champions league next season are fading. This is bad for them and they need to get back to winning as soon as possible.

I think Napoli's chances are closed to compete for Champions League tickets next season from Serie A tickets. The only way is maybe they have to win the Champions League, which I think is very difficult with their current performance.
Last season's Serie A champions finally had to struggle to defend their title. This season's Serie A competition will belong to Inter and Juventus. and there will be no other teams to interfere.

Napoli's performance recently is very abysmal. Who would have said that they are the defending champions right now after losing to Torino with that margin and drawing with Monza? They are currently in 9th position and the way things are looking right now, they are not even going to play in the Uefa Conference League.

I actually don't think they will be winning the game between them and Barcelona either. I know Barcelona themselves are struggling but Napoli's current situation is very dire. Maybe they can do something about their bad performance in the January transfer market.

Looking at Napoli's condition, it is difficult to imagine why last season they fell so quickly, their game was very strong and they managed to win Serie A. This season for Napoli, even competing in the top four is difficult, let alone defending the title, it feels very impossible.

Napoli's decline is very clear, without Spalleti it's like a chick losing its mother, Napoli's game is not solid and without a vision and mission. Napoli's next mistake was being too quick to fire Rudi Garcia as Spalleti's replacement at that time. Even though the match results were quite good, even though they were less consistent. Still able to compete in the top 4, now Napoli with a new coach is even worse for Napoli, star players are important but the chemistry between players and coach is more important. In fact, in the last three matches, Napoli recorded 3 red cards, against Roma, Monza and Torino.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 08, 2024, 08:35:43 PM

 This season for Barcelona is not so good, but this season they are in the playoffs of the Champions League, not everything is good in La Liga either, seven points is a big gap, but theoretically they still have a chance. And I think that Xavi will focus on these two tournaments, and the players from the bench will play the cup.
Araujo refused to renew his contract with Barcelona, Bayern are very actively interested in him, and despite the fact that his contract is valid until 2026, Barcelona has already offered him to extend it, but Araujo is in no hurry to do this.
It is worth saying that Barcelona still have financial problems, they have a debt of €207 million, mostly due to their players, so it is not surprising that they want to find more stable teams financially.

With the many problems experienced by Barcelona then yes, of course, it will make Barcelona have great pressure so that it has a bad impact on team performance. After all, on the European stage also the fact that Barcelona has always failed in the last two seasons although indeed, this season Barcelona entered the round of 16 in the Champions League. But ya, I personally still doubt the quality of Barcelona at this moment, because it is very possible for Barcelona to fail again on the European stage.

Therefore, I believe this season there is no trophy for Barcelona, because Barcelona seems to have lost the chance to get it. It is not meant to underestimate Barcelona, but the reality is so, with the many problems experienced by Barcelona this season.

To be honest I don't think Barcelona's performance last season was that good either, it is just that the other teams in the leagues who used to be a threat for them were performing bad. Let's look at Real Madrid, Benezema had left Real Madrid and Real Madrid were looking somewhat clueless most of the matches. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla had a rough season both struggling. But I must give them the credit. I know they were doing better than this season but I don't think performance has drastically downgraded.

Another reason is that the injuries. Every team is hit with it and the worst thing for Barcelona is that their key players are injured. They lack creativity right now and Pedri and Gavi who were the creative midfielders, are injured at the moment.  Lewandowski is not performing like he is supposed to and due to financial problems, they could not even get new signings. I don't think we should blaming Xavi for these performances.
If we want to be realistic, we can see that Barcelona this season is really bad. Barcelona always wins matches with small teams, the wins are not easy, they always almost draw or lose. then I can say that Barcelona is indeed in very big trouble as you mentioned and this is not just Xavi's fault. Apart from the fact that the players don't seem to fit into the team, Barcelona is also unable to recruit the "great" players that it really needs, because Barcelona's current economic situation is very bad.

This victory was still not enough to make them recover, because it could be said that this was a bitter victory over a fourth division team. I don't imagine that if they don't try to improve their game, they won't be able to get past Napoli in the last 16 of the UCL League and in LaLiga.

It was a painful result for Revel. PSG scored exactly nine goals and there were just as many missed opportunities. He struggled from the start of the PSG match until the final whistle. It wouldn't have happened if Mbappe didn't score a hattrick in this match and he did it, I had no doubt about him, we are now used to him scoring hattricks in such matches.

PSG does not show mercy against such easy opponents, for some reason they always achieve such different results.
In this match, PSG showed no mercy to their opponents every time there was a chance to score, it would be a goal. It seems like PSG wants to give a signal to their opponents, especially in the UCL League, that they are ready to face them at any time and of course a big win like this increases the players' confidence even though the opponent is a weak team like Revel. However, it must also be acknowledged that a small and weak club like Revel is still trying to withstand PSG's attacks, they are not giving up even though they lost by an absurd score.

Apart from that, it is also clear that PSG really needs Kylian Mbappe at PSG and they don't want to lose Mbappe. because Mbappe always launches real attacks in the opponent's penalty box with his speed, so it's not surprising that in that match he scored a hat trick. Any team playing for mbappe will benefit from his mentality and pace.

I this agree with the post above me, I don't think arsenal tried to win that game, I watch the match and first half both teams played very poorly, the chances Arsenal had were never a serious threat to Liverpool defense in any way. I think it was generally a boring match and both teams did not give it their all, Liverpool had some luck to end up winners in the end.
This match was actually not too boring because both teams played very carefully, in fact I think this match was very interesting for both teams.

In the first half it wasn't that Arsenal didn't try to win the match but they were less effective even though Liverpool didn't perform well in the first half because the CB and fullback communication was not in sync plus the build up continued to fail because Arsenal played high press, luckily Liverpool had goalkeeper Alisson who was on fire.

Entering the second half, coach Klopp saw Arsenal's physical weakness due to playing fast in the first half. He started replacing players with young players, the results were very surprising. Liverpool managed to win with a convincing score. In my opinion, Klopp's strategy in this match was brilliant.

I think Dortmund have different mentality this season. They are good in Champions League, but scrumble in Bundesliga. They may still be carrying on the effect of last season failure. They look uninterest in the Bundesliga, but full motivated in Champions League. Dortmund have a better experience in the Champions League compared to PSV if we just count the latest Era, because PSV also have proper history in Champions league, But past experience alone doesn't guarantee success in a specific encounter.

PSV have a stable morale with doing excellent results in the Eredivisie and progressing to the round of 16. This aspect of them is better than Dortmund's, but the Champions League is a different competition with its own dynamics. No body had thought that Dortmund would do good at a tough group stage. I think Dortmund will show their best in Champions League to compesate their performance in Bundesliga.
The UEFA Champions League is the main target for Borrusia Dortmund, they're still game and wouldn't relent in any position they have found themselves, keep pushing until they're entitled to good points and rewards. Borrusia Dortmund have become one of the underrated team because they no longer focused on winning important titles, rather they are stiff to dormant positions. There's nothing exciting about Borussia Dortmund this season. I'm upset with the club's board because they've failed to recognize the potentials have build all these years. Edin Terzic have tried but he's incompetent due to the present conditionh3 found themselves. 
I don't see Borrussia Dortmund making the UCL league their main target, even in the domestic league. Because in my opinion, Borrusia Dortmund still looks less consistent in fighting for the title, they have only made a few changes to the team and are still stingy in buying players and even often sell them, which makes Borrusia Dortmund not as strong as last season and able to compete in the domestic league and UCL league. .

Indeed, in the UCL this season they performed extraordinary after being able to qualify from a group containing big teams, and maybe they could get past PSV in the round of 16, but they will never qualify for the semifinals this season. Terzic often experiments with formations, this is what makes me doubt the Borrussia Dortmund coach, he always underestimates matches with tactical experiments, especially with the incomplete condition of the team like now, such as the number 7 and number 9 players in Dortmund who are currently less productive.

This season is another season to contemplate on who will be the Scudetto winner,but it should be put to notice that the league is half way gone,and the best team has been showing how brilliant they can be.Milan has been one the best teams in the league,as well as Juventus,but the standard at which Inter has kept their play,it has made it very hard for other teams to meet the up.Its going to be another good season for them because their performance has been very good so far both in the home game and the international game.
Juventus has a tough fight in their hand which is being able to meet up the point and standard that Inter has kept for them to follow.They still have the chance to try their best  before the season gets over,and know whether they can equate the point gaps between the two clubs.

I think the strongest candidate for the championship this year is Inter. Currently there is only 2 points difference between them and Juventus, but when we look at the overall performance, I see that Inter is a team that can score much more goals and has a better squad.
Milan, on the other hand, plays worse than the other 2 teams, they lose a point every 2-3 weeks. The point difference is already approaching 10 points, it seems unlikely that they will be in the championship race
Serie A this season, there are only two teams competing for the Scudetto title because other teams such as Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli are too far behind in points with Inter Milan, only Juventus is closest to Inter Milan, only two points different. I also agree that Inter Milan this season is stronger than Juventus. However, the problem is that Inter Milan will be undergoing a UCL league match which will divide their concentration. This will be an advantage for Juventus to continue to be consistent and hope that Inter Milan will lose points due to fatigue. So far in Serie A we cannot predict who will win because Juventus and Inter Milan have the same chance of getting the Scudetto this season.

Luis Enrique will definitely try to defend Mbappe like last season, and of course this will be drama that repeats itself second time.
I know that Mbappe will not be able to play well if he is constantly in pressure position that makes him uncomfortable, what more, Mbappe no longer has any hopes with PSG or it could be said that the Ligue 1 title is just the best title that Mbappe can have.
Great loss when Kylian Mbappe would exits PSG, both for the board, the coach, his teammates and finally the fans would be sad, he's the only useful player in that PSG frontline and capable of winning major titles. Kylian Mbappe hesitate on leaving and few months back, the same player already find it comfortable to be putting on PSG jersey, he needs to leave and pursue whatever is available on his path.
Luis Enrique knows what his team will suffered if Kylian Mbappe leaves the club, he's the coach there and know the In and out.
Of course, Mbappe is so important to PSG that many parties want to keep him, even several times, like last season, the French president stepped in to ensure Mbappe stayed, even though Mbappe himself actually wanted to move from PSG to pursue the UCL League. the trophy he dreamed of. So it's nothing new that every time in the transfer market Mbappe's name always appears, it even makes the most news so it doesn't make us a bit confused.

However, I am confident in the steps taken by the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, I do not doubt his ability to lobby for players and buy players. If you remember, he promised to buy Figo from Barcelona. At that time, many people didn't believe it was even impossible, but in Perez's hands it became a reality. Many also think that Cristiano's promise to buy was excessive, but it still happened. So, if he really wants to bring Mbappe, even Halland, to Real Madrid, I think it will happen 75% of the time, it's just a matter of time. I also think Mbappe is very suitable for Real Madrid with his Real Madrid-style counter-attacking game.

Barcelona were very lucky to get 3 points against las Palmas. However, compared to the previous matches, Barcelona players have performed very well in this match. However  Las Palmas players were  confident in the home match. They  were able to attack a lot in this match. Las Palmas got a 1-0 lead in just 12 minutes of the match. Barcelona could not score any goal in the first half. However, Torres scored the first goal for  Barcelona at the beginning of the second half. Gundogan's performance was good throughout the match. After 90 minutes, Gundogan did not score from the penalty opportunity. And Barcelona won the match 2-1.
Xavi Hernandez will not be sacked afterall, Barcelona was lucky enough not to end the game in a draw tie, alot of mistakes was done on Barcelona side, but any how they manage to win the match. However, Las Palmas was the team that messed up big time, a match they were leading with 1-0 have suddenly changed to a draw tie and also they couldn't hold on much longer because Barcelona keep pressing and another goal was netted injury time after Las Palmas player was issued a red card, that weakened the entire squad that was planning for atleast draw tie.
Barcelona's victory was not achieved easily, it could even be said that Barcelona was lucky in this final minute of the match, despite the epic play of host La Palmas, but for me this is a bad sign for Barcelona. Starting from undirected passes, to players who easily fall when they receive the slightest touch from their opponent, in the wrong position. On the other hand, Lewandowski's performance is also questionable, recently he has been performing poorly, in my opinion he has to miss several matches because he cannot score goals in several matches, Xavi has to use other players to find deadlocks. I don't think Xavi will be fired from Barcelona, but Xavi needs a serious warning from Barcelona management so he can work harder. Players and coaches must learn to complain less and play more effectively rather than relying on ball control alone.
