Let's take a moment to congratulate Fabrizio Romano who has won the trophy for Best Digital  Journalist 2023 who is always at the forefront in providing information  about the world of football. We are  increasingly enthusiastic about the news he brings on his social media both X and TikTok. In my opinion he deserves  this award because he is considered the closest agent to any football player especially Europe. I also hope that this year there  will be big player transfer news that will attract attention, of course Fabrizio will  be at the forefront and the level of accuracy will always be proven.

The possibility is quite big for Arsenal to win this match. Firstly, they will play at home, of course that is a small advantage for the Arsenal team and the motivation is quite big after Arsenal experienced bad results in the previous few matches so the match against Crystal Place was a turning point for them to regain their confidence.
and on the other hand, Crystal Place does not have comparable strength to Arsenal, they are not good enough this season so the percentage of Crystal Place to be able to win points at home to Arsenal is very small.
overall, Arsenal has a big chance of winning the match at home, but it should be noted that Arsenal once lost control when playing at home against West Ham.
but we have to believe that Arsenal will not repeat their mistakes again because on the one hand, this is Arteta opportunity to cover up his previous bad streak and get 3 points from this match and immediately improve his performance to move up to the ranking above him.
Crystal Palace is just a very weak team from the last 5 matches which did not get satisfactory results for the fans and the victory that Crystal Palace got at that time was just luck for me because they got a weak opponent like Brentford which is currently known as the worst team with 5 defeats streak so it's natural that Crystal Palace can beat him.

well, from all this we can conclude that Arsenal performance is far superior to be able to win and I think Martinelli should be able to score a lot in this match.
I really want Arsenal to be able  to get 3 points in today match against Crystal Palace because  that way they can be in the hunt for the top 3. Aston Villa is now increasingly starting to show seriousness  and intends not to give its position to Arsenal. Arteta needs to  be a little careful this season after his performance declined last  season and now will always haunt Arteta in finishing the end of the season. At least if Arsenal gets 3 points it could  put a burden on Aston Villa because  they have both played 21 matches.

Liverpool and Manchester City can still compete for the top of the standings without needing to look at the threats behind them, who are currently busy competing for third place. Liverpool and Manchester City are still one step ahead  and the competition could reach the  end of the season.

Potensi penyalahgunaan wewenang, robeknya sistem demokrasi, hingga mulai suburnya politik dinasti akan mewarnai jalannya Pilpres yang tidak lama lagi tiba di hari H. Menyikapi tentang dukung-mendukung atau netralitas Jokowi sebagai pimpinan tertinggi di Indonesia, sudah sama-sama diketahui bagaimana putusan MK tentang batas usia capres-cawapres.
Putusan MK seakan-akan membuka jalan bagi putra bapak Presiden Joko Widodo yang sangat kita hormati (Gibran Rakabuming Raka) bisa bertarung dalam Pilpres kali ini, putusan ini  sekaligus menguatkan asumsi masyarakat bahwa presiden Jokowi ingin melanggengkan politik dinasti melalui Gibran.

Sangat wajar jika masyarakat mulai berasumsi negatif tentang Netralitas Jokowi karena pihak terkait sudah mempertontonkan secara terbuka pada masyarakat. Dinner yang melibatkan Jokowi dengan Prabowo (Capres atau Menhan) tidak seharusnya dilakukan terang-terangan, meski tidak diketahui apa maksud pertemuan empat mata tersebut dan apa yang mereka dibicarakan, namun pertemuan tersebut dilakukan diluar jam kerja.

Tentu saja hal itu tidak etis dilakukan oleh seorang presiden karena cawapres yang mendampingi Prabowo merupakan anak dari Jokowi. Saya pikir sangat wajar jika rakyat Indonesia meragukan netralitas Jokowi karena dia memiliki kekuatan digenggamnya untuk mengarahkan seluruh instansi terkait untuk memenangkan Paslon tertentu.

Secara formal tentu saat ini Jokowi harus bersikap netral dan tidak boleh menunjukan keberpihakannya. Namun semua orang tahu kemana arah dukungannya di Konoha ini apalagi saat anaknya ikut serta dalam kontestasi pemburuan tempat. Jadi kalau masih merasa itu netral yang memang netal dan kalaupun sebaliknya ya wajar saja karena Jokowi tidak bisa menyembunyikan itu di depan masyarakat Indonesia.

Tetapi persaingan diantara 3 paslon ini menimbulkan hal yang kontras meski Presiden Jokowi diusung oleh partai yang kini menjadi saingan anaknya. Sehingga ada semacam ketegangan diantara beberapa pihak. Tidak sedikit kita sudah melihat perpecahan namun masih dibaluti oleh kedoknya masing masing. Saya tidak peduli apakah ini melenceng dari aturan atau tidak namun keberpihakan Presiden dapat di lihat dengan mata telanjang.

Itu hak Prerogatif sebagai warga negara namun ketika sedang membawa titel presiden maka judulnya bersikap netral. Karena tampuk kekuasaan pada akhirnya akan jatuh ke salah satu dari 3 paslon.

Kita sudah dicocoki dengan politik adu domba bukan? dan itu turun temurun hingga pemilihan tahun ini juga. Dengan label politik dinasti, politik identitas dll di setiap priodenya masih menjadi senjata ampuh untuk mengambil suara rakyat. Jadi tidak ada yang benar benar bersih dalam pertarungan politik baik pemilihan musim lalu maupun sekarang.

What trend?  You are talking about some kind of bullshit short-term trend that may or may not exist?  I doubt that there is very many questions to doubt the trend that we are already in even if we are currently experiencing a correction that is so far only slightly more than 20%.

The most major trend is that between late 2021 and late 2022 we went from $69k to $15,479, and then from late 2022 to now we have largely been going up (even though we might not have realized that we were going up until around mid-2023 or even not until late 2023 might we started to feel more comfortable that we are most likely in an uptrend that started from late 2022), and so it would be hard to believe that we are stopping from going up, even if we may well have various degrees of correction along the way, and even if we were to go back down to $25k.. seems like a BIG so what?  The trend is up, and don't get me wrong, I have my doubts that $25k is likely, even though it is not impossible to happen... but if we are largely longer term BTC holders and even BTC accumulators, we should always be attempting to prepare ourselves (Financially and psychologically) for both directions at the same time, including potential extremes that could end up happening.
It always coincides with my current personal situation. Where this morning my wife kept raving Bitcoin went down right after she bought it. btw he's been doing DCA once a week, now it's been going on for about 4 or 5 months, I need to be his mentor in dealing with unexpected situations like you said with extreme potential. There are many things that can be done including cultivating a strong mentality, avoiding negative media a little, and making sure not to look at Bitcoin prices too often. He just tries to buy, withdraw it into his wallet then forgets about it until next week when he goes in to buy.

Talking about trends definitely refers to longterm trends, we are still quite at the point of improvement, but if we are referring to shortterm trends then we don't have any targets in the near future, other than waiting for the halving which is around 100 days from now.

I can bet you that the majority of those attacks are coming from government sanctioned orders. (North Korean and Russian hackers)

The rest of those hacking attempts come from JP Morgan's competitors and enemies. They are the fat cat on the hill, that needs to be brought down to earth.

Bankers have shown the world how evil they are and how they can destroy everything within days, if they wanted to. Their ruthless actions nearly destroyed the global economy and when they failed, governments jumped in with tax payers money to bail them out.

Now they have to use the people's money again to protect them from the haters.

I do not feel sorry for them, I hope it eats up most of their over inflated salaries and bonusses.
Hacking based on business competition makes a lot more sense and I agree that it potentially does want the JP Morgan company to go bankrupt. Therefore I think it is an obligation for him to continue to maintain the system so that it remains safe from acts of exploitation. Government funded hackers aim to exploit the imbalance of their opponents, fueling business competition to continue to be the most unstoppable. Meanwhile several percent more behind the hack are indicated by groups that are acting alone and who know very well that the huge finances at JP Morgan have triggered every hacker to take part.

Hukum merupakan panglima tertinggi untuk melindungi semua warga negara. Tetapi pada prakteknya hukum itu selalu tidak dipatuhi dengan baik dan keadilan daripada hukum itu sering disimpulkan tumpul ke atas dan tajam ke bawah. Hal seperti itu sungguh sangat ironi karena masyarakat kecil seperti tak memiliki lagi rasa perlindungan dari negara. Contohnya kasus yang melibatkan para penguasa dan konglomerat sudah cukup banyak dan pada akhirnya hukuman yang mereka terimapun terkadang tidak setimpal dengan perbuatannya. Maka menurut saya sangat sulit di negeri ini untuk bisa membuat hukum benar-benar menjadi panglima tertinggi kecuali para aparat penegak hukum yang menerima mandat dari negara benar-benar serius dalam bekerja.
Ingat lirik lagu Marjinal yang berjudul Hukum Rimba? yah saya akan mengutipnya
"Hukum adalah lembah hitam
Tak mencerminkan keadilan
Pengacara juri hakim jaksa
Masih ternilai dengan angka (uang)
Hukum telah dikuasai
Oleh orang orang beruang
Hukum adalah permainan
Tuk menjaga kekuasaan
"
sumber : https://lirik.kapanlagi.com/artis/marjinal/hukum-rimba/

Itulah gambaran hukum yang ada di Indonesia sampai sekarang tidak pernah berubah. Uang kendalikan segalanya mengontrol mana yang harus ditindak dan mana yang harus diselamatkan. Tidak ada negara yang benar benar menerapkan hukum seadil adilnya, karena memang keadilan itu mimpi. Terlebih lagi hukum bisa dipermainkan oleh pembuat hukum sendiri. Misalnya pasal A bisa ditentang dengan pasal B dan seterusnya. Selama sistem ini terus menjadi mata rantai untuk dibuat buat oleh para penguasaan maka kita hanya akan menyaksikan hukum di area abu abu tanpa ada kebenaran sama sekali. Meskipun sebenarnya kebenaran sudah dilihat oleh semua orang tapi faktanya penegak hukum mampu memanipulasi.

It was really a tough match between these two strong opponents, Athletico Madrid demostrated strength through out the game,showing that they can't be beaten twice by thesame club.I really love how they responded to the last beating that they had at home to Madrid.It is a thing of joy that Athletico are able to beat madrid,but I doubt if that will be possible in the Laliga, perhaps Madrid didn't take this cup more seriously,thats why they allowed Athletico to get the three points in this game.From now,I will be putting an eye on this Athletico Madrid vs Madrid,because the rivalry is now becoming interesting.

This season the Madrid Derby competition is more exciting than El Clasico. Because after seeing Atletico Madrid successfully take revenge on Madrid, this match became a tense match. Real Madrid itself only suffered defeats and both defeats came from the Metropolitan Stadium Headquarters at Atletico Madrid. Madrid elimination from the Copa del Rey broke Ancelotti's target of achieving a treble winner that they had never achieved in their history.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Barcelona scored the full 3 points because their opponent was easier to deal with, Unionistas was not too much of a threat. So Xavi troops could control the game and from  statistics Barcelona was superior in all aspects of attack and ball control.

To have to pay an annual tax for something you own and paid with your own money to possess is ridiculous...

This evil rigged system never allows a middle class hard working person to reach too further on improving his life standards. If he doesn't have a large income, he won't reach anywhere. To be a disciplined saver along decades of his life isn't enough.

Moral of the story: don't save money for more than one month. As soon as you accumulated some amount of fiat, put it into an investment and make it generate passive income for you, although you should avoid banking investments, since they usually pay below the inflation. Go for Bitcoin and assets when there isn't enough money to invest in something bigger. There is no assurance you will defeat the evil rigged system which smash common citizens, but at least you will be trying to overcome it...
Aaaargh I think I've heard this logic of thinking somewhere and the context is very similar. Saving is considered not to make us rich etc, unless the investment is guaranteed not to involve taxes. However in fact a person level of hope can vary regardless of the system adopted by society regarding the assumption that saving can make you rich in the future. I agree 100% with you that the more we get into this system the less financially supportive it becomes. Sometimes people take investment risks but people are misled into thinking that investments are only for rich people. So these mistakes continue from generation  to generation and we need to break the chain while we can. Provide education to those closest to you especially family because the concept of saving and investing must be understood  based on the level of need that will provide strong financial support in the future.

Regarding Mourinho, it is better not to do anything for now, Roma is clear evidence, plus this club is no longer interested in showing competition. The point is that Mourinho cannot interfere in ongoing club affairs, Chelsea itself with its current composition of players has nothing to be proud of even though it has spent a large budget.
Surely Mourinho will never return to Chelsea or MU. Mourinho's personality shows that he will find a new destination to rebuild his empire. Up to now, the curse of three successful seasons with one team seems to still be coming true for Mourinho. Arabia could be his next stop

Wait, not everything has to be  thrown at Saudi Arabia guys. Mourinho still has little hope of continuing to compete in Europe and coincidentally he doesn't seem  to show much interest in currently managing a Saudi Arabia club unless there are no European clubs  interested in his services anymore. For the time being  Mourinho will have time to rest until he is truly able to recover from some of his  bad results with Roma. Because after Roma decided  to take Rossi it wasn't a big investment  in improving a club that was reluctant to spend big money. Rossi is just the cheapest option that Roma took to save  the budget.
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 18, 2024, 03:05:11 AM
I still assume Xavi will stay in Barcelona, Joan Laporta seems to let him managing Barcelona for more seasons. Laporta and Barcelona management can understand how Xavi's condition right now. He is unable to achieve anything because he has an obstacle to develop Barcelona squad. Lewandowski and Raphinha can't be the mainstay players anymore. Xavi needs new players in the attacking line. But Barcelona has no money to buy top attackers, Xavi only can optimize the current players and the young talents from their academy.
It's not that Joan Laporta doesn't want to replace Xavi with a more reliable coach, but he is aware that for this critical period Barcelona needs to save money. Therefore, for Joan Laporta there is no choice but to retain the coach who currently still has the desire to manage the club and the answer is of course Xavi. Because if Bacelona finances are fine, Joan Laporta can buy the coach and players he wants with criteria that exceed Xavi. This cannot be denied, however, due to the unfavorable financial situation, Joan Laporta is only looking for a safe option so as not to incur large costs, plus the problem of player salaries has not yet been realized. Then look at the contribution of the Barcelona players, they all play for the club and lower their egos a bit regarding salaries.

We are not getting good performances from Barcelona's young players. Xavi should now work more with Barcelona's young players. Barcelona will become stronger if the performances of the young players improve.
It's not surprising that Barcelona performance is like that, because Xavi can't do much if he only has a minimal number of players without a supporting budget. If we talk about Xavi work since he started coaching the club his duties have been very difficult. Last season Xavi was still lucky to be able to win the trophy despite all the conditions he was lacking. This season it feels like there is no need to demand more from Barcelona, Xavi is just a coach using the facilities and players he can without being given the freedom to control finances.

There's only a month before quarter final in Europa League begins, it's too fast to sack Mourinho. I don't expect Roma will achieve anything in this season, De Rossi wasn't proven as a good manager, he's just a senior player. There have been many senior players that not capable when they're become manager, De Rossi could be one of them.


Which the next club that Mourinho will join? Manchester United or Chelsea? Grin
In fact, if you think about Roma's bad results so far, it is not entirely Mourinho's fault and more precisely, Roma is indeed a poor club that cannot provide a larger budget so that Mourinho can target the players he is targeting. Now we also know that in the end Roma can only get a coach from their former legend, namely De Rossi and I am sure that Roma will not be able to sign a better coach with their current finances.

I think it's better for Mourinho to return to Chelsea because apart from that being his home, on the other hand he will get a very large budget from Todd Boehly to be able to get the players he wants and if he returns to Manchester United it won't necessarily make Mourinho better. Moreover, Manchester United is a problematic club and on the other hand, their ideals are too high if they want to try to win the title.
Returning to Chelsea or Manchester United are also clubs that are experiencing problems. When it comes to budget, Manchester United has received assistance from Sir Jim for its needs in the transfer market. Then Chelsea, whose position in the standings is higher than Manchester United. The Blues continue to experience disappointing days even with the financial support you refer to. Todd Boehly doesn't care about clubs, all he thinks about is profit, Chelsea will be destroyed or threatened with relegation as long as Todd Boehly doesn't understand football clubs, the results will remain the same.

Regarding Mourinho, it is better not to do anything for now, Roma is clear evidence, plus this club is no longer interested in showing competition. The point is that Mourinho cannot interfere in ongoing club affairs, Chelsea itself with its current composition of players has nothing to be proud of even though it has spent a large budget.
352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin EFTs are bad for Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency. on: January 17, 2024, 06:56:46 AM
Remember "Not your keys, not your coins"?  Bitcoin was intended as a decentralized digital currency.

Futures ETFs and spot ETFs are as far from Bitcoin's intended purpose as you can get and they serve to make banks more money while giving them more control.

Does anyone else see what is happening here?  The silence is deafening!

Recently SEC chairman Gary Gensler took a swipe at some people calling the ETF historic. He reminded them that the approval of these eleven spot ETFs is a win for centralisation which is a clear deviation from how Bitcoin was designed to function. This is an indication that they might have some hidden agenda behind this approval. After the fall of FTX, many people understood the importance of keeping your keys which led to massive transfer of funds to to non-custodial wallets. Nobody can stop these centralized investors from putting money into the Bitcoin space, so we just have to wait to see the long-run outcome of all the hype surrounding the ETF. But we will not stop announcing that not your keys, not your coins, however, people are free to choose between freedom and bondage.
We couldn't stop people who had been waiting for ETF approval for a long time and after the SEC approved it, it created a lot of enthusiasm in the media. Therefore as chairman of the SEC Gary Gensler feels challenged because on the other hand he has provided a gift. However the public excitement unwittingly provoked Gary Gensler to cast us. It would be nice if the ETF approval didn't have to be so welcome because as you say Gary Gensler could quickly come up with a new agenda. He has control over whether it is approved or not, the ETF euphoria is only  the first step and if this initial step is debated again by Gary Gensler then the market will automatically respond negatively. Because speculation out there is very sensitive  to news published by the government.

That's right and we can see that currently Manchester City is getting closer to the top of the standings, only needing 3 more points to overtake Liverpool, now Manchester City is just waiting for Liverpool to make a mistake or Manchester City can wait until next March when the two clubs fight each other. In the Premier League there are still 2 places left for Champions League tickets I know Arsenal and Aston Villa are up there but somehow I think in the near future both clubs will be out of the top 4 so who is more worthy to be there, Tottenham or West Ham?
In the end, only Man City and Liverpool competed for the EPL title. Man City's points tally is getting closer to just two points, De Bruyne's return has a big impact on Man City's game and Liverpool lost Moh Salah who played in the Africa Cup of Nations. Looking at Liverpool's current condition, it is not impossible that they will lose points, because Moh Salah is Liverpool's mainstay player on the front line. To stay in the top four until the end of the season I think Arsenal and Tottenham.
ManCity know that facing the end of the season they must immediately appear aggressive when Kevin de Bruyne is a big advantage and are also required not to relax. While ManCity has recently experienced a decline in performance, the top clubs are not maximizing opportunities to gain further points, so it is not surprising that these opportunities are now starting to disappear after ManCity entered the hunt. Liverpool need to be careful because this could endanger them at the top of the standings. I will not underestimate ManCity if with the solid composition of Haaland return at the end of January they can be hungry for goals plus he is no longer alone because Kevin de Bruyne is ready to make it happen.

Meanwhile, the top 3-5 in the standings can still compete with each other be it Aston Villa, Arsenal or Tottenham, even Manchester United if they are a little lucky can enter the group. There is still potential to continue to improve performance because standings 1 and 2 belong to those who still cannot achieve stability. Arsenal may eventually be able to occupy 3rd place. It is a shame that Newcastle had to be a little late in the hunt  because the mistake is that this season it is too difficult to maintain performance like last season.

Ane denger terakhir di debat capres kemaren, banyak pengamat mengatakan kalau kedua kubu lawan (ganjar dan anis) menyerang secara personal capres prabowo. Ane jadi bingung, karena ketika ane denger dan lihat keseluruhan debat di youtube, tidak ada sekali pun mereka berdua menyerang personal atau diri prabowo baik itu fisik maupun hal-hal di luar konteks, semua dalahm hal pemerintahan dan program. Emang kalau nyerang dia sebagai menteri pertahanan itu merupakan personal atau branding diri prabowo?, Kalau iya tentu pola pikir mereka itu sudah salah, dan tidak bisa membedakan mana yang personal dan mana yang publik.

Di beberapa sesi memang ada indikasi kubu No 1 dan 3 melakukan manuver untuk menyerang Prabowo karena isu yang diangkat mengenai pertahanan sehingga hal ini dijadikan modal oleh Anis atau Ganjar dalam membuat lawan debatnya meresa terpojok. Itulah  masalahnya yang mana Ganjar dan Anis masih menempatkan Prabowo sebagai menteri pertahanan sedangkan ini kan sudah beda judul. Prabowo sebagai calon presiden yang idealnya menyerang Prabowo pada kinerjanya di pertahanan akan tidak etis sebab sudah beda tupoksinya. Kalaupun Anis atau Ganjar mau menyudutkan Prabowo maka konteksnya fokus pada persoalan  jika menjadi presiden. Tapi saya hanya mengomentari debat sesi ke 3 yang memang banyak pihak tidak setuju. Terlepas dari itu semua saya bukan timses paslon manapun, sebagai masarakat biasa yang mengutarakan pendapat. Bahwa menyerang secara personal dalam debat tingkat calon presiden sangat tidak etis baik itu Prabowo menyerang Anis atau Ganjar dan sebaliknya tetap tidak dibenarkan. Kita pun kalau sedang berdebat dengan teman fokus pada konteks dan ketika ada yang menyerang personal pasti merasa terganggu dan akan marah karena tindakan lawan bicara sudah keluar dari jalur pembahasan.

This could be an important detail in all the negotiations not only with Haaland, but also with Mbappe. If he realizes that Haaland is on Real Madrid's list, Mbappe knows that he has to make a decision rather sooner than later. The door would be closing for him Real Madrid could sign Haaland as I doubt that they could afford to contract both players.
I hope Mbappe immediately hears these rumors, because this will be interesting news regardless of whether Haaland can be obtained easily or not, at least Mbappe knows that Real Madrid is turning its attention to Haaland, so that it can make him regret having disappointed a club as big as Madrid.

It would be almost impossible for PSG to replace Mbappe, we're talking about one of the best players in the world here, and again it has been said that PSG have changed their style of recruitment, they want to stop buying star/world class players, but instead they now want to recruit mostly homegrown players and groom them into stars.

Having said that, Mbappe's future is so uncertain right now, one minute you feel like it is almost certain he'd sign for Real Madrid and the next minute you think otherwise. We'd have to wait until the summer to see if he either signs a new contract or exits PSG for another team.
Saying it is impossible because PSG is nothing without Mbappe, their dependence is clearly proven in every match. It's no longer clear why PSG is now trying to follow a new scheme in terms of recruitment because they are aware that little by little Mbappe will leave if they don't provide comfort. The strong reason PSG was able to make an offer was because Mbappe was one of the French national team players, so PSG had a way to keep Mbappe at the club longer. Besides that his contract is almost finished, it does not rule out the possibility that it will be difficult for Mbappe to leave the club.

Honestly, Martial is a good striker. But unfortunately he couldn't gain the trust of ETH. He couldn't compete with Rashford or Hojlund.

You have got it all wrong
Ofcourse martial is a good striker, he didn’t lose any trust at all, martial issue is that he is never available for selection due to different injuries and that’s why a move away from Manchester United is on the cards for him

It has nothing to do with competition
You are right, it's not that Erik Ten Hag doesn't want to put more trust in Martial, but with his frequent injury condition, any coach would be reluctant to give him big responsibilities on the front line, where his role is important. Martial must be aware that with his condition, at any club he will receive the same treatment as at Man United.

3. Reviewing Songs is also expected to earn on an average, $200/day.
4. Watching Ads is one I find quite fascinating, but it is sure to earn one $100/day.
It's quite easy to say, but in practice I'm sure the expectation of earning hundreds of dollars a day is not easy. Not everyone can do what you do or you yourself haven't fully proven that it works. Indeed, there is a method of earning money like that, but it also requires special skills, assessment criteria and a reputation that will be the benchmark for why your work should be given a high score. But be realistic if there is one, try to share something that can be done by many people for example point number 4.

In the end they will be led to a situation that cannot be refuted with their own arguments. Maybe as someone who has resigned himself to what is happening now requires a change in belief. Not because they were forced to but they admitted that what they had done in the past had expired while Bitcoin was still holding up more than they thought.

Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.

I actually think Real Madrid is the team he is going to. We all know that Real Madrid really wanted to bring in Mbappe. But they were not able to. And there is another rumor circulating that Jude Bellingham is pushing to bring in Haaland in Real Madrid. So common sense said he might actually go to Real Madrid next unless Real Madrid actually reaches an agreement with Mbappe. Which I do not think is going to be easy actually. If Haaland joins Real Madrid, Mbappe might actually join Manchester City. What do you guys think about that?
A good challenge and this is the only best option if Mbappe is difficult to bring in then Madrid will replace him with a much more suitable player. For Florentino Perez, with such a large release clause price, it is not difficult, especially Haaland will match his quality. But will this be easy? while Manchester City is desperately defending its goal machine.

And if Haaland makes it to Madrid, I think Mbappe will regret having disappointed Madrid offers several times. I agree with this rumor 100% fully support Haaland rather than waiting for a player who feels he is bigger than the club.

Bayern Munich is still under Leverkusen and waiting for Leverkusen to slip from its position, Bayern Munich is trying to keep winning and doesn't want to widen the gap with Leverkusen because Bayern Munich still wants to dominate the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich doesn't want another club to break its dominance, therefore Bayern Munich continues to appear consistent up to now but unfortunately Leverkusen is much more consistent and has not suffered a defeat so Bayern Munich is having difficulty occupying the top of the standings.

Since the start of the season, Bayern Munich has always shown good performance until now, but because Leverkusen is still consistent and has not experienced defeat, therefore, Bayern Munich has not been able to occupy first place and Bayern Munich is only trying to put pressure on Leverkusen in second place, so Leverkusen is still firmly at the top with their outstanding performance this season.
Bayern Leverkusen is relentless in continuing to focus on maintaining the top of the standings. Even though they were only able to score 1 goal against Augsburg, it helped them stay at the top with a 4 point difference from Bayern Munich. Tuchel's troops do have 1 match remaining which they will use to close the gap but Leverkusen still has 1 point left to make the difference. It's a tight trophy hunt in the Bundesliga as Leverkusen come into play under Xabi Alonso.

After winning over Hoffenheim with a maximum score, Tuchel is even more ambitious and I would be happy if the fierce competition between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich continues until the end of the season.

The match that Real Madrid played yesterday was the epitome of what it means to be Real Madrid. The players gave an excellent performance, and I was surprised that Real Madrid scored three goals before the half, one of which was scored by Vini Jr. Vini Jr. used Barcelona to set a record that Cristiano Ronaldo had never done for Real Madrid; by scoring three goals before the half, and against one of the best teams in the world, Barcelona, Vini Jr. truly deserves the number 7 shirt that he wears.

The first goal in the 7th minute with Vini wearing the number 7 jersey was then completed with CR7 iconic celebration, and this match took place at the Al Nassr headquarters where Ronaldo is currently playing. So I'm very happy and proud of Vinicius because this will be a historic moment not only for him but for Real Madrid. Congratulations on the team's cooperation, I am increasingly optimistic about Madrid's current composition and can be said to be successfully undergoing its regeneration process. Vinicius scored 3 goals, a greatest achievement especially against Barcelona. Hopefully it will be a good start to winning the next trophy.
