It seems Juventus is not going to have good days anytime soon. After everything that happened to this team in the last season and even at the start of this season. Now their captain Danilo is injured.
After AfterLeonardo Bonucci left Juventus for Union Berlin, their Brazilian palyer, Danilo is the first captain of Juventus but in the game between Brazil and Venezuela, he left the game and he couldn't continue because of getting injured and this can make Alegro worried.
Of course it is a big loss for Juventus, but do you believe Danilo has a serious injury that will require him to miss the match against Milan? But whatever it is, a player's injury should not be the reason why Juventus will suffer from poor form. Milan you play at home against Juventus on October 23, so I hope Juventus have good preparation for that match regardless of the players' injuries.

Juventus, who is currently in 3rd place, will certainly do their best to steal points at home to Milan. But considering that Milan has managed to lead the standings with a 2 point advantage over Inter, they will also try their best to maintain their advantage. It's the match I'm most looking forward to, but I think both teams have enough time to prepare everything.

He has not been able to make a big contribution to the El clasico match because maybe he has not been able to adapt to the high tension in the match. Moreover, Real Madrid must also be paying more attention to this player, yes it is because of his ability to score goals after he joined Barcelona.
Yes Real Madrid are in a good sensation right now, with the presence of Jude Bel as the motor of attack as well as being a goal machine for Real Madrid. His ability is suitable for Real Madrid, that's what makes him easily shine with this new team.
I know Lewandowski hasn't contributed much to his goal statistics against Real Madrid, but he already has 1 assist in two games against REal Madrid in La Liga last season. Lewandowski has contributed to 39 goals and 12 assists for Barcelona so far in 55 appearances in all competitions, so there is no need to underestimate him.

Barcelona will certainly hope that Lewandowski and several other important players can recover in time before El Clasico, but I still see him missing Poland's match against the Faroe Islands for EURO qualifying yesterday. Real Madrid is of course quite ready to face Barcelona, ​​but it feels unfair to underestimate Barcelona.

The Netherlands were not lucky enough to beat France. Still like in the first half, France was too strong for the Netherlands because in the second half, France's game actually improved.
The Netherlands' position in the group also remains in third place because Greece has currently won 0-2 over Ireland.

The hope of the Netherlands and Ireland to find victory in the 7th match seems to be no longer possible because the match time has entered the 80th minute.
France ultimately managed to secure a 1-2 victory over the Netherlands, which of course was very detrimental to the Netherlands. Currently the Netherlands still has hopes of eliminating Greece from second place because the Netherlands has 1 match in hand, but Greece is certainly safer because it is 3 points ahead of the Netherlands.

In other matches, Portugal also managed to secure 3 points for the 7th match. Ronaldo scored 2 goals and another goal was scored by Goncalo Ramos. Portugal is unbeaten in 7 matches and that is really good to maintain.

When a Bitcoin ETF was approved, there was great hope of getting people closer and more familiar with Bitcoin. As time goes by, they may realize that their investment in bitcoin needs custody instead of trusting it to a centralized third party, so let's leave it for now and we can expect changes later from them.

The impact will still be there whether it is negative or positive, but a positive impact is much more to be expected. Apart from being able to increase prices, massive adoption will occur when a bitcoin ETF is approved. People are increasingly able to see bitcoin and its innovation, so I think a bitcoin ETF could be something valuable.

Since 2021 when the price reached an ATH of around $69k, the market now looks difficult to rise, especially since there have been big cases like LUNA and FTX which have made many people afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies, and in my opinion if there are no top influencers like Elon Musk in 2021 then it will be difficult to see the market rising again, and our hope is that perhaps a halving day will occur at the beginning of the year, and if it cannot rise it will be even more difficult in the future.
Keep your optimism and gather more good information instead of always referring to bad events in the past. You should be aware that the market always has two cycles and in each cycle there is always good and bad news that affects the price.

Everyone is becoming more optimistic about the future of bitcoin, because the halving is an important event that can have a good impact on the price. If someone is still afraid to invest now, just leave it. The markets won't wait until they recover from their fears, so convince yourself instead of convincing others of the potential for a good future.

I don't care too much about Sevilla's performance but at the start of the season I thought Barcelona and Real Madrid would start well in La Liga and they would go on to compete brilliantly. But although Barcelona team is performing well, I think Real Madrid team is not able to perform as they want.
Yurkov, feel free to say otherwise because Barcelona this season doesn't scare me at all. Barcelona has been different compared to last season where they had a strong defense in La Liga, but this season their defense has changed and they tend to concede a lot.

Moreover, Lewandowski's performance this season has dropped, in fact he has only scored 5 goals and 3 assists in 8 appearances. Currently Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are injured, while other players apart from Ferran Torres, Joao Felix and Lamine Yamal cannot always help them to win. I would be happy if you said honestly that Real Madrid this season has achieved good form from the performance of its players.

Man City's strength and level of dominance in the Premier League seems to be decreasing slightly this season, because there are several clubs that have performed quite well so far. The absence of Rodri and De Bruyne could actually affect the intensity of their attacks, in fact I saw that Haaland didn't have a good chance to score at all when they lost to Arsenal. De Bruyne's injury has been felt since several defeats in the league and the absence of a creative midfielder could reduce Haaland's chances of scoring goals.

Especially in the Arsenal vs Man City match, I saw that the match statistics were quite balanced. Arteta's strategy was much better by replacing several players before Man City conceded. Arsenal had several good opportunities to score, but the final finish did not meet the target so no additional goals occurred.
The absence of Rodri and De Bruyne has certainly reduced Manchester City's attacking intensity, but in the end they must not use that as an excuse for defeat. Arsenal almost wouldn't have scored if Martinelli's shot didn't hit Nathan Ake in the face. For me it was a lucky goal for Arsenal.

Manchester City basically almost took the lead if Ake or Gvardiol could have scored early in the first half, but both failed. Manchester City and Arsenal were both under pressure throughout the match as they couldn't score any goals, but in the end it was a lucky day for Arsenal.

I don't even see it as a surprise performance. How can the horrible performance from PSG can be called as a surprise performance? PSG is even declining compared with last season. I don't wanna underestimate PSG but im talking about the reality if PSG was always too inconsistent in any game.
There have been also many rumors about dembele was not feeling confidence anymore in the club. He may leave from PSG soon along with mbappe caused by they are willing to join in new clubs.
Im willing to see those guys will able to get better clubs than PSG even though that if dembele was a new player in PSG right now. It's time for mbappe to get a new achievement for that.
PSG's performance in the loss to Newcastle wasn't bad, but they just failed to capitalize on opportunities to score. Moreover, Newcastle had a good defense when PSG built attacks, so even though PSG had several opportunities, the defense was still able to handle them. Of course that has benefited Newcastle, but that doesn't mean PSG doesn't have a chance.

PSG and Newcastle adopted different strategies throughout the match. PSG played very offensively and Newcastle played very defensively, this benefited Newcastle in preventing PSG from scoring goals and they also benefited because PSG did not concentrate on defending. But I'm sure PSG won't make the same mistakes when they play at home for their second meeting with Newcastle, so I don't think the defeat will punish them for the rest of the season.

He is talented and he already proved it in Dortmund as well as with England in World Cup 2022. However I really believe even Real Madrid did not expect Jude to score so many goals like this. He is their best scorer now and his stats is more similar to a striker rather than a midfielder. It's lucky for Real Madrid as in a season they have problems with their strikers (Benzema left, Joselu has yet replaced Benzema too well), Jude appears as a very goal productive attacking midfielder for them.
You are right, Bellingham is a productive midfielder so far who I think is like a striker. Ancelotti will still play him as an attacking midfielder but in a different role, I mean Bellingham seems to play as a second striker instead of a center forward.

So far Bellingham has really been able to work well in carrying out his role. He has already scored 8 goals in 8 games, but I believe this statistic will increase as the League progresses. His good positioning and perfect finishing have placed him as the temporary top scorer. I hope his good form continues, but I don't necessarily expect him to score a goal in every game even if it's good.


They still have many star players in their team and you are right, their strength is not only from Jude Bellingham. If opponents focus too much on Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid can shift their attacking power to other players and their opponents will be beaten by other players, not by Jude Bellingham. To win a title, to beat Barcelona and win La Liga, they will need to adjust their tactics and avoid being dependent too much on Jude.
Ancelotti doesn't need to change formation in the El Clasico match against Barcelona, ​​that's not good in my opinion. Real Madrid just needs to prepare the best strategy to beat Barcelona this season, but there is always pressure during the match because Barcelona can also play in a different way against Real Madrid.

DCA will be much easier to apply for binding strategies carried out by some people who do not have large capital. For example, we make the smallest percentage of the purchasing period using DCA after making a percentage of monthly salary for other needs. Take one example like buying in a month period once or twice with a budget of $40 for example and that can be done regularly using the DCA strategy. If someone cannot afford to buy according to the budget I mentioned, it can be reduced according to the monthly financial capacity they have while working.

I have been doing this step for several years and although sometimes I set different budgets with uncertain amounts. If we make a percentage, it will be much easier to manage the budget because life in this world is not only about investment. Happiness, unexpected costs and other needs also need to be prepared carefully, so that the life we live does not encounter problems along the way.
Dividing the budget for several parts and buying them in stages over different timescales and prices is what DCA is all about. I know what you are talking about even though you can describe it differently. Any strategy for accumulation purposes is actually fine as long as you do it for long-term investment, so don't just focus on one strategy.

I'm not saying lump sums are bad, sometimes lump sums are still better when you find the market is in a deep dip. This never happens every day and usually such a dip will not last much longer as recovery will follow as soon as possible.

In his first season, Bellingham was extraordinary in being able to play with Madrid and knew very well how Madrid wanted to provide a place in the midfielder position. Not many young and new players brought to Madrid can be this good and able to score goals in every match. Bellingham will be an important asset for Madrid's future, we can see the great hopes that Ancelotti is trying to inherit because next season he will leave. But after that, I hope that Madrid's new coach will also have the same vision and views towards Bellingham.
Jude Bellingham is Real Madrid's best signing this season, but everyone should be aware that he is not a striker even though he has scored 8 goals in 8 appearances in La Liga. Ancelotti emphasized that supporters should not expect too much from his performance to win every match, even if one day he doesn't score a goal, they shouldn't blame Bellingham.

Real Madrid is a team that I think is not only about Bellingham. They play for the benefit of the team rather than personal interests, so they should not rely on one player even though they can provide something different throughout the match. I hope Bellingham is able to maintain his best form this season, and enable Real Madrid to win the title at the end of the season.

The AC Milan vs Juventus match will indeed be the match most people are looking forward to in Serie A. But who will be the favorite in this match is actually quite difficult to predict. AC Milan actually has home advantage. Because the match will be held at the San Siro Stadium. However, as you said, currently Juventus' match schedule is not too busy so Juventus should be able to focus more on winning the match against AC Milan.
A draw like this could happen in this match. Remembering that in the last 5 meetings these two teams had 2 draws. It is possible that this match will be the third draw in the last 6 meetings.
I think this is a big challenge for Milan and Juventus. I'm also not sure who should be the favorite in this big match, but Milan, who is playing at home, seems to have a home advantage that can be exploited. Milan will certainly struggle to maintain first position after Inter slipped due to the draw against Bologna, but I'm sure Milan's job will not be easy because Juventus has actually been better in form this season.

Milan has a bigger chance of winning the match, but there are doubts that Juventus can also get points in the away match. Both teams have the potential to win the match, but what is clear is that it will be very difficult for us to guess who will win it. I hope Milan can win it with hard work, but a draw seems impossible to ignore.

When KDB is absent for a long time it can actually be dampened by Rodri who always performs well but when Rodri is not in this squad it becomes a problem for Manchester City, yesterday's match against Arsenal was proof that Manchester City did not have good players in the initiation of attacks and there were no good players to support the flow of the ball from midfield to attack they were not like Manchester City which was very different.
Always broken attacks and no dominance in midfield are very visible in the match against Arsenal but I am sure with Pep when he sees things like this then in other matches to come he must have been able to anticipate this. It would be great if Rodri comes back and KDB recovers in time because otherwise it's quite disruptive.
You are certainly right, Manchester City was completely different when they lost De Bruyne and Rodri at the same time. Their midfield performance was not good and this affected their rhythm of play which resulted in a low number of opportunities created throughout the match.

If Manchester City had De Bruyne and Rodri in the match against Arsenal, then I'm sure the result might have been different. Bernardo Silva was not fully able to match the fans' expectations, so it is natural that Manchester City had little chance of winning the match. Losing twice in a row is definitely not something that is good for Pep Guardiola, but in the end I can't put it that they have completely lost their chances of retaining their title this season.

Xavi Hernandez is attempting to turn Barcelona into an enormous force undefeated squad in La Liga, and despite allowing numerous goals, they are unbeaten this season. He will concentrate only on his team, as injuries has been an ongoing problem for them this season, amounting to a downturn in performance. Barcelona is competing for the La Liga title and is considered the favorite to win it this season. They would face the same formidable opponents as in previous decades, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The blaugrana defendlines is the team's current weakness; they are not active enough to confront opponents when territory is invaded.
I can only say that Xavi will improve his defenders as La Liga progresses, but so far they haven't been too bad either. Araujo hasn't been in his best shape since he came back from injury, but I'm sure Araujo will get into his best shape again if he trains harder.

Barcelona will still be Real Madrid's toughest rival regardless of its current form. Losing 6 points from 3 draws is not too bad for Barcelona because in reality they still managed to avoid defeat. I really hope Ancelotti doesn't underestimate Barcelona in any way even though they are 3 points behind, so I don't expect them to win the El Clasico and put a lot of pressure on us.

Did anyone think that the performance from ter Stegen was below average in the last match? At first I thought he was getting old. But then I realized he is 31.  Not even anywhere near Manuel Neuer.  Or maybe he had just a bad match.  At the same time the defense was also pretty weak from Barcelona.

Anyway, Barcelona has been losing some matches that they really should not be. Just like the last match. Barcelona failed to win.  these matches are definitely going to affect them a lot. They are the defending champion of La Liga. it will definitely be a problem for them if they cannot win these matches. Real Madrid is already ahead by three points. Barcelona will have to keep that in mind.
Ter Steigen's performance dropped because Barcelona's defense was disrupted. Barcelona is unbeaten this season even though they have conceded 10 goals in the last 9 matches. So far Barcelona is still a good team in terms of goal statistics where they are the first team to score 21 goals in 9 La Liga matches, that means Barcelona has 1 more goal than Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

I'm not saying Barcelona have been so bad this season just because they haven't won all their games, that's clearly not true. However, I can't draw the right conclusions about them because I think Xavi has a chance to improve his team's form because this season is still very long. Real Madrid is 3 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​but that doesn't make us safe without pressure.

Make the necessary adjustments and decide which strategy is more suitable for us to use, when accumulation cannot be done at the current stage due to budget limitations then we still have DCA as a strategy that can be used consistently. But it would be good if both could be done to bring about a greater increase in the bitcoin assets we have. This opportunity may seem rare for some people who do not have capital because they are not able to accumulate purchases when the conditions are right. But this does not limit us from not buying it and when the budget is available, maybe we can be patient at other times.

Everyone definitely has their own strategy in making investments and any adjustments based on the fixed budget amount that we have to accumulate at a certain time. The most important thing is not to limit us to stopping because at any time there is a way if we intend to increase the amount of bitcoin ownership we have, therefore everyone who is able to see opportunities will definitely come out as a winner.
DCA is used to maximize accumulation plans and that also cannot be done as long as you do not have a budget. Strategy adjustments are necessary and it really depends on budget availability, but if you have a stable budget at the end of each month then of course you can do DCA consistently.

To be honest, we all don't live just to fulfill our investment plans because there are so many other things to think about. Investment is important, but as long as you feel the amount is enough to expect something good in the future, then prioritize other things. In fact, you still need to think about yourself, which currently still requires a lot of energy and strength, so I won't be greedy in investing because your own health and needs also still need to be considered.

You left Manchester United out of the list, is it because they have some bad performance back then due to injuries?
Because I know that Manchester United team have the potential of competing for top four.

Although I agreed with you that Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool are the most favorites to qualify for Champions League next season, but Manchester United and Chelsea can surprise us with some impressive performance and get back on track to compete for top four.
Manchester United haven't been very convincing, so I'm definitely not going to include them on the list even though they managed a comeback against Brentford a few days ago. Moreover, Manchester United is still in 10th position with 12 points, so it's natural that I don't see them being able to provide the best competition at the start of this season.

I will include Manchester United on the list if they are truly able to maintain consistent performance in every subsequent match. Their defense is still poor where so far they have conceded 12 goals in 8 matches. Apart from that, if in the next few matches Manchester United really improves from their game statistics then I can also change my assumptions about them easily.

At this stage I would say it is to early to predict the top four, but logically you have a point. Right now it's almost certain that the top three would be Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester city although this is just the team that should be in the top three but not certain how they would be arranged now it's left for the last team I would have to place Chelsea in that position, they have the players to actually be there if they can continue in the form they have now definitely they should make it into the top four.
Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are the 4 teams that I believe will compete in the top 4 until the end of the season. One of them will win the title, but we really can't say for sure who will get it because 9 games doesn't tell us anything.

I believe the current top 4 teams are still very likely to lose points in certain matches throughout this season. So even though Manchester City have currently experienced two defeats, I will not rule out that they can win the main position again by improving their performance and consistently winning. Of course there is hope for Arsenal and Tottenham to stop Manchester City's dominance in the Premier League, but it will not be an easy task when Pep Guardiola knows what to do after suffering two defeats.

Sometimes some people never prepare other strategies to deal with price corrections and increases due to the effects of the halving or afterward. So doubts among some people still often arise regarding trusting the new ATH in Bitcoin even though everyone has trusted the halving because there is a lot of evidence that they have seen in the past on Bitcoin.
The accumulation strategy requires a budget so not everyone can do it consistently. I also believe that everyone has their own portion of investment in certain things so there is no need to expect everyone to have to stockpile every time they have a budget. If they only agree to have X amount in their investments, then that's the amount they should set for those investments.

I admit that the accumulation strategy is one way to lower the average price of assets, I do it with DCA. I do it and stick with it in the long run, but I have a certain X limit for investments especially when I feel like it's enough.

Well,of course Barcelona is a team who cannot be underestimated but making quite some false steps in such early stages of the La Liga and against weaker opponents for me is a big red flag.Sure Real has made false steps too but they have been against stronger teams,they have lost against Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby and except that they have been doing well.

I have said it before Real should imperatively get a striker,Mbappe being the ideal player to add to this team which desperately needs a player like him and Ancelotti should leave his ego apart and open the door for such great player.
So far I admit that Real Madrid is much better than Barcelona in solving problems. Granada was not weak against Barcelona, ​​especially in exploiting opportunities and defending, but Barcelona failed to find a solution to win the match because of the referee's decisions and bad finishing.

I never underestimate Barcelona and that is important so that I don't make the wrong decision if I want to bet. Barcelona still managed to keep La Liga without defeat even though they are currently 3 points behind Real Madrid, but that is really not a big gap for both of them. Regarding Mbappe, I only hope that Perez will bring him in the middle of the season or after his contract with PSG expires. Right now I don't want to talk about it because it seems like Bellingham could really help to solve the problem.
