As I am not professional gambler, I don't need to count my winning or losing amount. Just consider gambling as entertainment, that's it. And I don't think gamblers will stop gambling easily. There are some many kind of gamblers. People who gambling for fun, won't stop gambling. Even people who are greedy, they also won't stop gambling as because they are aiming to generate more income from gambling. I haven't heard anyone who retired from gambling. But yeah, people who are addicted in gambling, should be retired or should become responsible. Gambling could be dangerous, if people win big in gambling, then there'll be chance that they'll loss big in gambling in next. Well i don't have any retirement plan yet. But if i were professional gambler then maybe $2/3M would be decent amount for retirement from gambling
I absolutely understand your point and I think it's absolutely valid as everyone have their different methods and ways gambling. Just like you, I don't gamble  regularly but as a gambler who's not regular with his gambling activities, there's a certain amount of money that I'll win and immediately quit anything that has to do with gambling. Gambling to me isn't an engagement that one needs to put in more of his energy and time in as it might end up ruining the person's life so when I get up to $1m in my winning, I'm certainly go retire from gambling

Ansu Fati isn't a bad player,but I don't think if Liverpool sign him when Salah leaves,he's going to be a perfect replacement.He is too young and inexperienced to be able to handle the position Salah is handling,I know it's going to take years for them to get someone like Salah,same thing happened when Mane left the club,they really found it hard to get players who can fill his void.Darwin Nunez was brought to be his replacement,but both Diaz,and Nunez combine cannot do what only Mane was doing at Liverpool.He was the man who gave them the champions league,the front three,Salah,Mane,and Firminho were the best in Europe as at then.

Ansu Fati cannot and will not replace Salah neither is he going to be the "perfect replacement" as you've said. First of all, Ansu Fati plays as a left winger and Salah as a right winger. Secondly, Ansu Fati has fallen off hard from the time when he was heavily talked about as the next Messi — that plan failed woefully and he ended up playing from the bench at Barcelona until they decided to loan him out.

I have watched Ansu Fati and Raphina play and alone, none of them come close to the level of performance or impact that Salah has in this Liverpool team. Maybe if they combine both of them, I'm still not sure their output matches of Salah (based on the stats). It's even insulting that you'd make such a comparison.
Mohammed Salah's kind of football is totally different from that of Ansu Fati as both players doesn't share the same position. Though at Brighton, we've seen Fati play in the right side of the attack but that's not his natural position. If there's a Barcelona player that can perfectly play in the right side of Liverpool's attack, I think it is Brazilian winger Raphinha because he's got all the needed qualities to succeed in that position.
Mohammed Salah I think is definitely gonna leave Liverpool at the end of the current season to join a club in the Saudi Arabian League as he's received series of offers from clubs in the Saudi Pro League. The Egyptian is currently sidelined as a result of injury he picked up while playing for his country Egypt at the CAF African Cup Of Nations but is expected to be

yeah, we expected PSG to easily beat Brest. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Pereira, and Ramos sealed the deal. It was a solid outcome after a strong performance. With goal against Brest, Kylian Mbappe now has thirty goals for the season, and PSG smoothly advances to the next round of the French Cup.
PSG victory saw them advance to the quarter-finals of the French Cup. So, if you look at it, PSG will again have a strong opponent in the quarter-finals because PSG will face Nice. Currently, in the French Cup competition, only PSG is very strong and is followed by Nice, which has performed well this season. Thus, if PSG manages to beat Nice, they will automatically be at the forefront to win the French League trophy this season.

Apart from that, PSG performance against Brest was quite impressive because they were able to score 2 goals in the first half and at the end of the second half Goncalo Ramos was able to score 1 more goal which made PSG seal the win with a score of 3-1. Brest was not very strong in this match because PSG really didn't give Brest a chance to threaten their goal. Even though Mounie was able to record 1 goal, after that the performance of the PSG players got better and continued to press Brest. PSG success in reaching the quarter-finals made them secure their hope of winning this competition
Nice have been the second best team in the all domestic competitions in France since the start of the season and now that they'll have to face their biggest rivals of the season Paris Saint Germaine in the quarter finals of the of French Cup, I think it'll be a very difficult game for them.
The game is almost three weeks from today which will give Nice the needed time to prepare for that big encounter. However I don't expect any team in France to stop Paris Saint Germaine from claiming all the domestic trophies in the country and that's because of their superior quality of players when compared to other teams in the country.

A piece of bad news for Real Madrid and Nacho is about the game they are going to have against Girona and it seems Rel Adrid will not have their captain, Nacho in the game they are going to have against Girona. However, Vini may play in the game they are going to have. Because This one is going to be an important game for Real Madrid to reach Girona in the La Liga table.



I read some news and it is certain that Nacho will not appear with Real Madrid. I don't know the reason yet and it seems like he is experiencing discomfort. Ancelotti feels like he is at his wit's end seeing that his squad list is not capable enough to face Girona and he can only hope that Rudiger can complete his recovery more quickly in this match. In other news, there are Real Madrid academy players who have been included in training with senior players and maybe this is just in case Real Madrid needs them.
The game against Girona is Real Madrid's biggest game of the season in the Spanish La Liga because a defeat in that game will see Girona overtake the current league leaders and go top of the league.

With or without Nacho, Real Madrid is a great club that is very capable of winning any Spanish club any day any time and I expect them to beat Girona in that particular game of the weekend. Carlo Ancelotti is good at rotating the squad as well as making players play in the in their unnatural positions just as we've seen Aurelien Tchoumeni been used in the center back position this season. So in absence of another defender to fill the position of Nacho, I think the manager knows what to do

Yeah I agree with you that anything can still happen towards the end of the season and there is no guarantee that Manchester City can win all the remaining matches. Honestly I would like to see another team like Arsenal or Liverpool win the title this season not Manchester City but of course it is not easy to beat Manchester City this means that apart from ability, luck is also needed.
In the next match, Manchester City will play Everton, which will give Manchester City the opportunity to find additional points easily. So far, Everton should be very easy to beat, and Manchester City must win to get additional points in the standings to take first place from Liverpool.
Manchester City play against Everton in their match week 24 of the English Premier League season on Saturday afternoon and because the game will be played at the Etihad, everyone is expecting Manchester City to easily win the game and grab all three points as they continue their fight to go top of the English Premier League table.
Everton haven't been very consistent this season but we must not shy away from the fact that they've delivered great performance and results in games they weren't given the chance to win and that's why I don't expect them to fold they're hands and watch Manchester City defeat them this weekend However, I'm very optimistic that City are going to take all three points from that game.

And also the gambler will become greedy and don't stop playing even though their money is enough for their needs but still they will get some of it and play for their wants without knowing that they will loss a lot of money.
The biggest mistake is to gamble to get gains so that you can spend the money on your needs because gambling is not a source of income and those who consider it one will have to face the negative consequences of it. Something where getting something depends on your luck cannot be considered a way for you to have a guaranteed income, and gambling is exactly that, whether you will win or lose depends on how lucky or unlucky you are.

So, people who gamble with money that they need only because they expect to win more money with it are always going to suffer because even if they manage to win something initially, there will be a time when they will lose everything while trying to win more and then they will regret their actions.
Judging by the recent happenings in the gambling community, it's obvious that most people gamble for financial benefits instead of the fun in gambling and I totally understand their reasons as most gamblers people who are frustrated by the economic hardship and decided to gamble just to make ends meet.

I don't gamble for financial benefits rather I gamble for fun and that's why I rarely gamble because when you gamble for fun, you only gamble when you just wanna experience the fun but when you gamble for financial benefits, the chances of becoming an addict is high as most of your gambling engagements are primarily for the purpose of making profits from gambling
867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: February 08, 2024, 11:03:31 PM
In sports gambling, apart from being patient, you certainly need to analyze the club before placing a bet on it to reduce losses. Apart from that, management in placing money in each bet also really needs to be paid attention to. Being patient but still careless in placing money in each bet is also useless. Discipline and patience may be the complete package for the gambler.
You said everything the way it was supposed to be said mate. Patience without discipline is still gonna make a gambler lose his money and vice versa so in other to no be on the losing side, a gambler isn't expected to know how to combine the two to get a good result. Before someone decides to venture into gambling, the person must know how to analyze games else be ready to lose heavily in gambling

This is a big weekend in the German Bundesliga as Leverkusen takes on Bayern Munich,First position on the table against second position.This is going to be one a massive game,and Bayern are really expecting three points from that game because Leverkusen have not lose to any team since the start of the and they might not start losing now.But this is exactly what Bayern wants to break,they want to break that record they've been holding since the start of the season till now.I am optimistic that the highest that Bayern can get from that game is a draw.
The biggest game of the weekend in the Bundesliga will take place
on Saturday evening at the Bay Arena and I can't just wait to experience the potential fun and excitement from the game.
Bayer Leverkusen will definitely be giving their best in that particular game to make sure they defeat German champions Bayern Munich and extend the lead at the top of the table. A win for the visitors Bayern Munich will take them above the league leaders which I think is not gonna happen because they're playing away to a Bayer Leverkusen side who has not lost any aof their last 30 games in all competitions
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: February 08, 2024, 10:17:20 PM
I think Aston Villa will beat Chelsea because at Stamford Bridge, Aston Villa was able to hold Chelsea to a draw without scoring a single goal.
I was late and didn't have time to place a bet on this match. Yesterday I analyzed that I would bet on a draw on 1x2 because I was sure both of them would try to score a goal from the first minute of the match.

0-3 is not the result Aston Villa wanted. Of course, it would surprise the public if Aston Villa was unable to score a single goal against Chelsea.
Chelsea's dominance of the game did not allow the remaining minutes of the match to end without a chance that could become a goal for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa ended up getting a goal against Chelsea at the last minute of the game, or, should I say, in the extra minutes of the game, which ended up with a score of 1-3. Chelsea's performance in today’s game was unexpected because everyone thought that Aston Villa would win Chelsea, which proved us wrong. The game was tough for both teams because their performances were almost the same, but Chelsea tried their best to meet up and be among the last 16 of this season, so I will say a big congratulations to Chelsea for meeting up with the last 16.

Although Chelsea's success in the last 16 was due to goals from Conor Gallagher, who won the first goal in the first 11 minutes; Nicolas Jackson, who also won the second goal with a header; and lastly, Enzo Fernández, who scored an unremarkable goal with a free kick, this brings Chelsea's success to the round of 16. Kudos to all players and nice performance from Chelsea.
I was the one who said there was no chance for Aston Villa to score a goal in the remaining time of the match which was very close to FT, Villa was able to score 1 goal back even though it didn't mean anything to Aston Villa.
The quality of Villa's game is not that bad. During the match they were able to balance Chelsea's game, but Aston Villa were poor in finishing.

Some people's initial estimates were that it would not be easy for Chelsea to win at Villa Park because Chelsea's consistency was in doubt. In the end, what happened was that Aston Villa couldn't do anything when Chelsea went crazy in front of the Aston Villa supporters who filled Villa Park.
I would also like to congratulate Chelsea.
Considering the performances we've seen from Aston Villa ahd Chelsea since the start of the current campaign, I don't think I'm the only who was surprised by not just the result of the English FA Cup game between Aston Villa and Chelsea yesterday at the Villa Park but also the performance of the away team.
I don't want to believe that Chelsea's impressive performance of yesterday can not be sustained going forward and if the manager of the club Mauricio Pochentino can take lessons from the tactical approach of the game, I think the club will have a good ending to the season.

Klop is still with Liverpool till the end of this season and it's still very possible they maintain their position at the top as they are just a few points away from Manchester city but their next fixture is against a weak team and I think Liverpool should be able to win them and add three points to keep them ahead on the table.

Klop has got a chance not only with the premier league but with the Europa league, so either of it will be a good gift for klop as he's exiting the team, by the end of the season., I don't think Liverpool will be going for Xabi because he's already got a team he's managing and is yet to declare if he's wanting to leave the team any soon and open for a new deal from any other team. Mourinho is currently a free coach but I don't know if he will be willing to come back to England, they search for a befitting coach for Liverpool will take a few time tho.
With City having one less game, and potentially going over with that extra win, too many people just had flashbacks of previous seasons. There were many seasons in the past 10 years when City trailed for a while and then took the leadership and never let go after that. With Haaland back, and KDB back, they are really going great and with Liverpool losing to Arsenal, I have to say it looks like there is a potential possibility that Liverpool may lose that position.

We still don't know though, I trust Klopp and his magician skills, he could still take out a rabbit out of the hat and turn this team in to a winning machine and get a streak going and get the title. It wouldn't be the most shocking thing, it has happened before.
After Arsenal defeated Liverpool on Sunday in the English Premier League, the flashback of what happened last season between Arsenal and Manchester City in the battle for who wins the English Premier League title began to ring in my head. Manchester City under Pep Guardiola is one team that whenever you're battling for a trophy with them, the last thing to do is to give them a chance to overtake your team because they'll definitely utilize the chance at the end of the day.

Currently, Liverpool is still topping the English Premier League standings but if Manchester City succeeds and finds a win in their outstanding game of the season, Manchester City are going to are going to overtake Liverpool as the league leaders and if that happens, it'll be very difficult for Liverpool to win the league at the expense of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Mehdi Taremi the player of Porto had a good performance in Iran during the Asian Cup and his good performance made Inter Milan to talk about this Iranian player. They were about to hire Taremi but they couldn't because Taremi was under contract with Porto but they said just after Taremi ended his contract with Porto they would send him and an offer they wanted to have this player in the next season.

https://sempreinter.com/2024/02/06/taremi-carboni-to-complete-revamped-inter-attack-2024-25/




I've been able to watch Mehdi Taremi play for Porto in the UEFA Champions League on many occasions and I'm still very surprised that a player of his footballing abilities is still playing for Porto. He's unarguably the best player in the Iranian squad and his performance in the ongoing Asian Cup is a testament that Mehdi Taremi is one okay that's capable of playing for any of the big European teams. I would be happy if Inter Milan can pull through and sign him to the club

If South Africa had better penalty takers Nigeria might not have found themselves in the finale of AFCON now.



The truth is that they outplayed Nigeria during the official 90 minutes and if they where serious on winning the match they would have made better use of their chances but they couldn't.

What do you mean by if they were serious about winning? Those fellas gave their best in order to win Nigeria. About outplaying the super eagles in the match, I don't know if that happened in the first half of the game because I didn't watch the first half, I was opportune to join the game in the second half of the game and from what i saw, bro, the Bafana Bafana didn't outplay shit, yeah they played so well and I give that to them but The Super Eagles were an equal match for them.

I think the Super Eagles had more advantage in the game and they played better, this was proven when the Super Eagles scored their first goal, it was to be further proven when Victor scored the second goal, which the referee cancelled and recalled a past offense that he didn't care to look at at first, I did sense a fowl play there but regardless we still conquered. We all know that, if not for that small Ojoro, the Super Eagles would have settled the whole matter without the need of going to a Penalty shootout.
I watched the  CAF African Cup Of Nations game between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Bafana Bafana of South Africa from the first minute of the game till the last kick of the game and I can authoritatively say that it was and end to end performance and can't even say which team that's better between the two teams on the pitch yesterday.

The Nigeria team won and progressed to the final of the tournament but  anyone who saw the performance South Africa in that game I think will agree with me that the South African team could have also win that game and had their player scored the rebound of the free kick that was played in the dying minutes of normal time, South Africa would've stopped their Nigeria counterparts from reaching the final

-snip

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?
I never introduce anything risky to other people, even if that person is a gambler. I almost never introduce virtual gambling or online gambling to anyone.
reason I say this is quite clear, all gambling is very risky and I don't want to be the person who feels the most guilty if one day someone I introduce to online gambling accidentally becomes addicted.
and another reason why I will never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people is because older people have reduced eyesight, a mind that easily forgets and there is a very high risk if they deposit into the platform but enter the wrong address and end up lost his budget.

well, for me these reasons make a lot of sense because even though my fellow gamblers really don't like introducing something that has a bad impact even though our intentions are good, we also have to look at the impact in the long term.
There's a local gambling platform in my locality that's called lotto and a lot of older people are the one who patronizes it the more as the time of it's establishment can dated back in the 1970/80s. So one of my neighbor who's very experienced in online betting decided to introduce one of the men in my neighborhood who's always engaging in that gambling activity to online betting and to the my greatest surprise, the man who was introduced to online betting became very addicted to online virtual betting that he sold almost every of his belongings in the space of two weeks of being introduced to online betting. It was after that sad and regrettable event that I decided not to introduce anyone to online betting.

Although at this moment Brest is in a good trend but still, PSG is a team that is difficult to beat because yes, PSG is a team that really dominates in all French competitions. Therefore, it is not surprising that Mbappe also remains the most fertile attacking player in France, of course, the achievement or success is no longer something new for PSG and Mbappe. But about Lyon, I think they still have very good morale because they do not give up and are not pessimistic even though the team is in a difficult situation. Therefore, with such good morale and mentality can provide good results also for Lyon at least to qualify for the next round although there is no guarantee to be able to go further.
With strong attacking players, PSG will never be in doubt about dominating League 1 again, but it would be very worrying if after losing Mbappe, this club experiences a decline in performance and this is only my concern.
Talking about Lyon, we have to believe and not doubt this club because I am sure that if Lyon can still survive in League 1, even though it is not in the top 10, at least it can stay in League 1, which is a very safe position and improve in the next season.
Kylian Mbappe is without doubt the best player in the Paris Saint Germaine squad as his number of goals and contributions to the club can not be compared to any other player that's currently playing for the club so I'm not surprised when people say that the performance Paris Saint Germaine is likely to decline whenever Mbappe leaves the club but I don't buy to that idea and my reason will be stated below.

Over the last decade, Paris Saint Germaine have spent more money hiring top quality footballers than any French club. Currently, een in the absence of Mbappe, the Paris Saint Germaine squad is still better than any French club and we all know that should Mbappe leave the club in the summer, the owners of the club are still gonna sign more quality players that'll serve as his replacement
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: February 08, 2024, 07:26:12 PM
The question is ambiguous.

What is "more?"
Are we talking about more in terms of percentage net worth or more in numbers? Of course a rich man can and will bet more in numbers than a poor guy because for a poor guy spending $100k in a casino is impossible when he doesn't own that much. When it comes to % net worth it's also pointless to compare because I know poor people who get $100 in allowance every month and they can sometimes bet half of that and if they lose they beg for help. For a rich guy matching that and betting 50% of his net worth would mean some crazy numbers like $10m - nobody bets that much.
From the content of the post, I think the "more" here is about the percentage of net worth of both the rich and the poor because there's no way a poor man is expected to risk more money than the rich man in terms of numbers as in most cases, a rich man's man's numbers in gambling is higher than the poor man's total net worth.
Now that I've clarified that, I want to talk about the topic based on my personal experience. From what I've observed, the poor man gambles more than the rich as I've seen more number of poor people who uses over 80% of their total money to gamble a risk that is very rare among the rich people

Atletico Madrid are going to face Sevilla once again after a short time they played against each other in the Copa del Rey. By the way Atletico Madrid beat them in that game and in the league by the same score, 1-0.

Despite having a really poor season Sevilla still can be competitive against Atletico Madrid somehow considering the results so far. But the competitiveness is rather due to not conceding many goals from Atletico Madrid.  Grin When it comes to performances I can't say Sevilla have been good enough against their opponent. I think another Atletico Madrid win is on the horizon but it might be by a close score once again.
Athletico Madrid is strong, and have the better chance of winning Sevilla, who are very weak this season. I don't think that there will be any hope for Sevilla in that game, and Athletico will win all three points in the match.

I don't know what is wrong with Sevilla this season, I was thinking that in the middle of the season that Sevilla will pick form just the way they picked form last season, but it has turned out to be the opposite of my thoughts, since Sevilla still remains in their worse form. Athletico Madrid is the only team that is giving Real Madrid tough time when the clash, and that is why I believe that Sevilla match will be like a work over game for Athletico Madrid.

It is true, Atletico Madrid is a stronger team than Sevilla this season. In terms of chances of winning, it is clear that the Atletico Madrid team will get it because in the last 5 matches Atletico Madrid has won 4 times while Sevilla has not managed to win a single win in 5 matches. recently, and this will certainly be a match full of hard work for Sevilla against Atletico Madrid later and at least Sevilla can match that score in a draw with Atletico Madrid. Even though in terms of position in the current standings, Sevilla is far away in 15th position, while Atletico Madrid is far ahead in 4th position and is almost close to being in the top 3 of the top flight. Even though it could be said that Sevilla is a weak team compared to Atletico Madrid, the strongest team at the moment, Sevilla must be able to show everyone that its play on the field will not be as bad as before and that it will definitely be there. It was a beautiful surprise for the Sevilla players. Let's just wait later.
Having watched the performances of Atletico Madrid and Sevilla since the start of the season, I don't think anyone will find it difficult to chose Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid at the favorite to win their Spanish La Liga game against Sevilla on Sunday at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium.
Sevilla with doubt is a very strong team that's capable of beating any European club especially when they're playing at home by considering the fact they've been absolutely poor since the start of the season, getting a point against Atletico Madrid will be a very difficult task for them and I don't see them doing that
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 08, 2024, 07:11:23 PM

Todd doesn't understand that at all. I have been saying this since he took over at Chelsea. He thinks getting players is all it takes. He's just spending money, buying every available players and youngster, but it's obvious that strategy is not working.

What he should have done is get board members that know what they're doing. Get the right sporting directors and let them put their heads together and hire a good coach. A coach that can handle a rebuilding project. That coach should be able to pick the players he wants the club to sign and the clubs do whatever they can to sign the coach's choice. The coach will choose players who can work with him, and players who understand his style. This should have been the first step for Chelsea. Instead, they just went ahead and bought a player for a coach that hoat has not proved himself at the top level.

To make everything worse they hired Lampard after sacking Potter and they hired Pochettino. These are decisions that show they don't know what they're doing up there.
What Chelsea needs now is a proper rebuild. They should forget about trophies, they should go back to the drawing board and start from the beginning. Right every wrong that they have made and that starts with getting the right people for each job.
Chelsea under Todd is now becoming one hell of an era especially as he believes money could do the magic. Winning in game of football is progressively and not magical. Yes, money is important but what’s priority is building from the scratch, he’s made some irrational decisions that’s now making the club in general suffer and the fans aren’t happy. Yes creating a new board who’ll be able to work and deliver would have been key.

 Rather he’s making the decisions and changes himself and he has little knowledge about football, that’s why most of his decisions now are being countered back by opposing teams. Todd should try as much to go back to the drawing board and let this team focus by getting a very experienced coach and not a coach out of pity. These boys are young and an experienced coach will help them maximize full potential to win the trophies for the club.
Todd Boehly era as the owner of Chelsea is undoubtedly one of the worst eras in the history of Chelsea football club and if you ask me, I think he's also very much aware  that most of the club's fans aren't happy with the fact that he's the one in charge of the club because the club have suffered so many set backs since he took the the ownership position of the club.

After Chelsea's very poor performance of last season, I thought that they were get better than this season after signing Mauricio Pochentino as the owner of the club but surprisingly, Chelsea had more points in the league and was in a better position after 23 league games than they have done this this season. I don't think Chelsea can be a good as they were during the time of Roman Abramovic under current owner Todd Boehly

Chelsea will be left without a place in Euro cups, it is obvious, and it was difficult to hope for anything else after so many key players left the team. In order for something to change, the squad needs to be significantly strengthened, it is obvious that those players who are currently at Pochettino’s disposal are not capable of achieving a better result. But given the team’s poor results, he is unlikely to be given the funds to buy new players, this is a vicious circle.
Chelsea is really having trouble getting out of their problems, even Pochettino looks like he will find failure in his first season. It's clear Chelsea need a lot of quality players instead of expensive ones, but just like you said, management will probably think twice before giving Pochettino the budget.

If Chelsea management still gives Pochettino their trust, then they might support Pochettino's request in the end. If that's true, Chelsea needs lots of quality players including goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, wingers and strikers. They need to renovate their squad and sell some players they don't need, but this is a solution if Pochettino is still going to continue his career at Chelsea next season.
Unfortunately for Chelsea fans, they are enduring another frustrating campaign after the disappointing campaign of last season and just like you rightly said, I don't think there's any hope of finishing in a position that'll guarantee them European football next season.
For Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino, I think he's not been able to live up to the expectations of the club's management and is likely to sacked should the club suffer consecutive defeats again. I wasn't expecting Mauricio Pochentino to immediately improve the club from the bad performance of last season but I think he's had enough time to effect a change in the club but failed to do so

Is Mbappe too ambitious? Not necessarily.
Mbappe is used to receiving a high salary at PSG, and it's understandable that he might expect a similar sum from Madrid. However, it's important for Madrid to offer what they can afford, without repeating PSG's mistake of offering excessive salaries.
If Mbappe prioritizes money, he may be better off staying at PSG. But if he seeks recognition, then Real Madrid would welcome him.
Negotiations between Real Madrid and Mbappe are natural, and I believe this deal will likely happen at the end of the season.

I think Mbappe is now motivated by trophies and personal glory. He would have won the Ballon d'Or if he was in Real Madrid and he knows that. He should also be driven by the desire to win the Champions League. There are greater tendencies that Real would lift the UCL than Paris Saint-Germain F.C. The French superstar desires the glamour and glory that football brings to a player apart from money. I think he should consider taking a pay cut to play in Real Madrid because they have the right players that will make Mbappe shine.  
For a player of Kylian Mbappe's status, joining Real Madrid at this time of his illustrious football career wouldn't be a bad idea in other for him to start winning personal accolades like the Balon D'or and so many others he's yet to win.
I've seen a lot of people who are saying that he's not loyal to Paris Saint Germaine after they signed him from Monaco when he was still a teenager but the truth is that he can't continue to play for a club who's never won the UEFA Champions League trophy and still doesn't look like a team who's ready to win one.  Joining Real Madrid at the end of the current season will benefit Kylian Mbappe a lot and that's why I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop him from completing the move

There is a piece of good news for PSG and it seems their player is finally getting back in the good form. Ousmane Dembélé was mostly injured and not in the good form since he joined PSG and even during the time then he was playing for Barcelona. If Ousmane Dembélé continues the good performance we saw from him during his recovery gets good progress, there's even the chance for Ousmane Dembélé to play for PSG against Brest.


My knowledge about Ousmane Dembele started when he was still at Borussia Dortmund and I can categorically say that he's one of the most talented footballers I've ever seen but his biggest problem as a footballer is that he's always suffering injuries and that has limited him from achieving everything he was supposed to achieve as a footballer.
I was happy to see him move to Paris Saint Germaine last summer and was optimistic he was gonna make great impacts at the club but unfortunately for him, he's been limited by injuries. Now that he's back to fitness, I hope he doesn't pick injury anytime soon
