Aguero is officially joined Barcellona, now Messi will have one more reason to stay since they are close friends

Great news. I reckon Barcelona now has a better replacement since Luiz Suarez departed to Atletico Madrid. Aguero is a top class forward and would help Barcelona in all their targets for 2021/2022 season. I know a lot of people are worried about Aguero's age but he still has a few more years to give to football. If injuries didn't hampered Aguero final season with Man city, I'm sure he would've scored enough goals to get him in the top scorers chart. In my opinion, it's a good deal. Although I'm eager to see how he'd be at Barcelona hopefully not like Greizman or Hazard at Real Madrid.


Aguero deal with Barcelona was expected, the Argentinian striker will bring instant impact to the club if he stays fit enough and that's what Barcelona is looking for for the next season they know that they made a big mistake letting Suarez go but bringing on Aguero should fix that and help convince Messi to stay,
I can of say that Barcelona should go back to promoting youngsters from their youth system, buying players turned to be very costly for them and there is still  a matter of succeeding or not, and from what the news reports say that it is expected from Barcelona to make three more signings after Aguero very likely to be Wijnaldum the next.

Aguero has joined Barcelona as a free agent, hopefully that would help solve some problems on the frontline, but the real question while ditch Suarez, if you're all going to come back to settle for Aguero ?

Either ways, I'd take Aguero over Brathwaite or Greizmann up front any day.

https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/1399393268509650947
The real questions are: Could Aguero be as efficient as Suarez used to be? He will be as consistent as Messi or as fluctuant as Griezmann?
I have the feeling that Aguero will be either a top scorer or a big disappointment. He has to prove himself and works hard to be a key player in a team that has many attackers without a constant performance.

I also heard Raul Gonzalez is closer to Real Madrid he has been familiar with young Madrid players since 2018
Hope he will have a better luck than Pirlo or Gattuso...
I have noticed that all peoplr criticize the deal of an signinv ab old player, perhaps without taking into account the quality that he possesses, so Barcelona is a team of titles and they do not wsnt to build a team for five or six years, but wants to compete with the next season
For me, Aguero's deal is a good deal, because the universe I was and still consider him the most insidious striker I have seen, through his launches and the timing of his request for the ball and moments of his exit .and this intelligence is required for a striker who plays alongside Messi. In Barcelona they do not need a fast striker, because their way of playing is not based on that, but they need a striker who improves positioning, and is accurate in the timing of the request for the ball, they are a team that plays from the depth a lot, and this is what makes the work of the spearhead large and may play from stability.
Age will not be an obstacle for this player, at least in the next two seasons, and you have the best example in Suarez, and likewise Ronaldo, who won the best striker in Calcio, regardless of the contributions of Zlatan in Milan and Cavani at United .
Therefore, the old strikers have become the ones. They offer an addition, perhaps more than the inexperienced, and this is what makes me expect Aguero's brilliance in Barcelona if they employ him well.

 I kinda want City to pursue a Messi acquisition now.  Grin  Should be interesting if it happens.

I think he'll stay at Barca... remember he has been there since he was 13 years old! They want him to stay, too. It would take something extraordinary for him to leave.

I know there was the crisis at the end of last season, but they have a new man in charge now and the team seems to be turning things around a bit. Perhaps he will leave at some point, when he gets older and starts to decline maybe he'll go to the US or some other less competitive league for a couple of seasons... but while he's a world-class player, I think he'll remain at Barca.
from  what I'm hearing is that Messi will renew for two more years then joins MLS for two more years atleast before retiring and coming back to Barcelona as an ambassador,
Not sure that even if this comes through its just a temporary fix for Barcelona.
They need to find other solutions, signing a player that is going to be the main star after Messi is going to be difficult task, they are better off making a good team other then building a team around just one man,

Hi Trofo i sent u pm to join but i forgot to tell you my favorite team,
I also cheering for Uruguay, i think everyone wants them to win is because they always shine in this competition.
as they are leading in the alltime winners with 15 titles followed by Argentina 14 titles and  Brazil with 9.
i see them favorites to win because it could be the last time that for Cavani and Suarez to help their county winning one more trophy despite they are still firing all cylinders.
other contenders like Brazil and Argentina on paper they have better chances but they are not very convincing sometimes.

Tuchel looking to expanding his stay with Chelsea after winning the second UCL title for the Blues, he originally signed an 18-month contract in January.
De Jong wants his countryman and manager Ronald Koeman to stay at Barcelona after a lot of talks on potential replacing him as Laporta wants to secure another manager that suits the club more and if he fails then Koeman will stay, I don't think that Koeman would like to be tge role of a spare wheel for Laporta project. And he could be looking for an exit aswell.

According to MARCA, Antonio Conte is the favorite to train # Real Madrid next season.
After the exclusion of Alonso and Raul . Pochettino is still in link with the Parisian club .Lov's lack of intention to take on a new experience next season, makes the doors open for the Italian to be the new coach .
The spreading news says that Conte has requested names to be signed like Hakimi, Andre Silva.
In principle, this is nice talk, but we must first know the departures and know Conte’s ability to integrate and adapt to Perez and perhaps a new football manager after news of the imminent agreement with Luis Campos.
A very hot and very turbulent summer awaits the royal club and its fans, let's wait for how the end will be!

Pep Guardiola opened the game in an unusual formation without the classic back midfielder. As a result of Guardiola's experiment, Chelsea played exceptionally well in the first half as City were unaccustomed to playing in that formation. It seems Tuchel is proving a better coach at the moment.
I was quite surprised to see City start in such an unusual way, Pep had to start either Rodri or Fernandinho, but he wrongly chose not to, leaving City exposed to waves of Chelsea counter attacks, I think pep tinkered too much in this final, I don't have an idea why Sterling was in the starting line up tonight, he has not started any really important game for City in months, Pep should have just stuck with the team that played against PSG in the semi final second leg.

It is what it is though, but City need to learn from this disappointment, they have come this close, so now it's up to them to pick themselves up, and look to next season, they could prolly win it then.
I am not lying in wait for you at the time of stumbling, but I am following you throughout your career with the champions, man, well I will remind you and remember,
Pep against Tottenham in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals .Guardiola left De Bruyne on the bench and thus his attack was futile and defeated 1-0 against Tottenham The second leg corrected his mistake and introduced De Bruyne, but in return he left Fernandinho on the bench and made Gundogan as a focal player and conceded three goals at the Etihad Stadium and was eliminated.
Against Lyon, he abandoned Mahrez and played with three defenders and changed his plan completely, and Lyon hit him from the blanks. In front of Chelsea, Fernandinho and Rodri left on the bench and played without a foothold, and thus exposed his back to Chelsea and lost again. And someone comes to tell you that he is not responsible .
all City eliminations from the champions are caused by Guardiola, because defeat with a logical formation is less than the funny philosophy pursued by Pep always in order to highlight himself as the exceptional in that match, but every time he comes out kicking his opponents And he fails in the mission for which he originally came for City.

Against all odds  Chelsea leads Manchester  city  by one goal with a few minutes to  go before half time and with this result it puts city  In a position they didn't want to be.

Time to go back to the drawing board and see what they can change to get back into the game.

This is going to be a long night or will it be dejavu.
Chelsea deservedly excelled in pressure, key passes and confidence on the pitch and the most important point of consistency in the squad, so every player knew his role and what was required of him .
Manchester City lost his strength point throughout the season (defensive rigidity) and lost the midfield battle, disobedience and speed of transformation and was naturally late in this way .
Guardiola may achieve the title in the second half, but I certainly like many do not understand you and I am afraid of you when you think too much and invent,
What do you expect in the second half ??
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 29, 2021, 07:37:18 PM
<...>

I would really love to see Tuchel lifting the trophy but Guardiola is more experienced and he inculcates the spirit of the winner to his team.
No first timer has ever won the champions league so don't get too excited, this is Manchester City first champions final appearance and they are differently going to lose it. This is not how experienced the coach is but how well his team perform. Tuchel is highly tactical gifted..

This is final anything can happen though.... But Werner is my hero tonight.

Werner already missed a big chance. In the 10th minute there was a great cross from Harvertz and Werner missed from six meters. It must be said that the ball was not ideal, but that could have been the early 1 - 0 for Chelsea. Great luck for ManCity.
Pep wants to giveup the trophy with that lineup his midfield does not contain any player who has a defensive tendency playing Without Rodri or Fernandinho against a midfield that have Kante and Jorginho Guardiola is risking losing the midfield , if Tuchel exploits it by falling Kante and Mount behind the midfielders, Pep will hurt a lot.
The City problem was in the spaces behind the midfielders, and the power of the Blues at this particular point, Therefore, Pep will press all he has through the names present, but defensively there is a great reservation and if he does not Guardiola escapes from this adventure, and he will become the most philosophical coach in the fateful matches, and he lost them .
And if he wins, we will raise his hat for him.

officially
Brentford advance to the Premier League after beating Swansea City 2-0 in the playoff match.
Brentford will receive a sum of £ 170 million this going to help them a lot for next year in the survival of their first ever season in the EPL.
they deserved this promotion as it came after reaching playoffs for the second time in row finishing 3rd.

Today is the European Final, with an English taste.
Chelsea aspires to win his second title in this tournament .and City in front of the dream of the first title.
we have seen 2 English sides in a Champions League Final just two times before last was when Liverpool beat Tottenham 1-0 back in 2019 and Manchester United defeated Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra-time in 2008.
I'm expecting City to be the one on top here, Its true that Chelsea won City two times before this season but, the citizens didn't show full strength in both of these matches as they didn't rely on their on their best 11 in those encounters.
This time will be City turn that is what Pep was working for all this time.

After both Empoli and Salernitana qualified directly from SerieB to SerieA,
Venezia, in turn follow up  and qualify for the first division league.
After tying 1-1 in the final play-off against Chitadella thanks to a goal in the 93rd minute (after winning the first leg 1-0), the qualifying trio replaced the relegated trio of Parma ,Crotone and Benevento.


the interesting thing about the new teams that will join the SerieA next season is that no one got passed the 50percent winning rate and look at Salernitana they barely got passed 1.2Goals per game i expect them to be from the first teams to be relegated next season since they will have a very difficult to score goals unless they drastically change the way they play.

Meanwhile,  according to ESPN, Wasserman, a company that represents Koeman isn't happy with his current situation at Barcelona especially with the statements that Laporta made in today's press conference. This is what they had to say
-snip-
So far, Koeman saved Barcelona from a humiliating mid-table position. The team before him was crap, useless with a bunch of loosers. After he came, although I disliked him first, I find that he did what should be done but you cannot make magical things with oldies. The team has to get a fresh update which is in the way. I don't think switching him with another manager will make things better while keeping the same players. Anyway, the team might improve with him right now.
Agree, at first I was also unhappy with the way Koeman let Suarez go and then looking at the Barcelona situation at the same time was very bad. But over time we can see the progress Koeman has made and it does take time. So there is no more good reason to replace Koeman, because after all, defending him would be better because the adaptations that are already underway will definitely make the strategy that will be implemented later that might put Barcelona on the winning track.
Me 2 i am still not convinced of what is happening in Barcelona administration, there have been lots of lack of clarity between Laporta and Koeman,
If he wants to work in the best possible way, he must first get support in front of everyone, and this is what the current Barca administration did not show. If you see in Koeman the wrong man to train the team in the future and want to change him, why do not you hasten to make the decision as soon as possible and give the new coach more time that will be useful for his future work in preparing a market for sale and purchase according to what he sees and according to his opinions and philosophy This will guarantee a greater success rate for the next season;
As for if the Barca administration wants to keep Koeman, why not go out to the public and say frankly to the match that the Dutchman will remain, which is the basis for this future project . because such hazy behavior will put the team’s season in danger of fatal distrust.
Likewise, all the news and conversations from time to time about engagements inside Barça is a very stupid and reactionary matter from the team’s media and also from the administration. Every moment you hear about a new player close to Barça and then disappear into the mirage of rumors and only the audience is affected. Months ago, everyone was talking Laporta will repeat Neymar in his first big steps that he promised, and then their talk about Haaland's father and the player's proximity to Barcelona It is still only Messi's file that if not renewed with the team, it will be a blow to this administration in this short period.

the next 5-years contract... congratz to David Alaba and real madrid for this deal
Quote
At Los Blancos, the 28-year-old receives a contract running until 2026 and is now the most valuable player in the history of football to switch clubs on a free transfer.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/news/view?id=386038

yep it was announced by Real Madrid that a contract with Alaba is aigned for a period of 5 years coming from Bayern Munich after the end of his contract !!
Nice news for the madridista after the exit slap Zidane, despite knowing the arrival of the player a few weeks ago .. a player with high qualifications and multiple centers, and the Real will need him a lot from the center of the defense, the midfield player and in left back psoition if it is necessary .
 He will help in a lot of defensive roles hope he can transit quickly to Laliga.

Its official Juventus has sacked Pirlo as the head coach as expected. Like i said few weeks ago that this must happen.
Next coach should be Allegri one of the most successfull coaches in Juventus history in the past decade
it was clear that Juve will dismiss Pirlo from his position.
But still this is the worst thing that happens in the world of coaching, and it is the dirtiest in every respect.
Juventus wronged Pirlo when he was appointed, and he wronged him again by dismissing, so you cannot give the opportunity to a coach who does not have experience and take risks with him, and then repeat the mistake by not giving him time to clarify something, even if he was expected that nothing would appear. But you are obligated to give him sufficient time. Juve did not respect Pirlo at all.
I personally did not support the decision to appoint Pirlo, and I am also not in favor of his dismissal, because football does not play like this, it does not go like this, and it is not evaluated like this.
At the end the team needs to move on and I hope that his replacement Allegri will not have it very difficult transition.

Sorry @Jating

Regarding the mens side of the tournament, it looks like Nadal, Djokovic and Federer
are all on the same side of the draw! this means that everyone on the other side
have been handed a carrot in a chance for a semi/final slot.

More info on R1 > https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/results/SM?round=1
The quarter-final round is expected in the second Grand Slam tournament Roland Garros for this season .
The draw is remarkable that it put the old generation on the same side and the young rising generation on the opposite side .
meaning that we will see a final between one of the best of this generation and one of the promising next generation in the near future.
Nadal is always the first candidate on the clay ground, because he is a king in these parts , although I wish Federer get to something, but it is very difficult because he returns from a major injury.

What a game! I expected it to be quite defensive and boring, it actually was during the majority of the 120 minutes, but the penalties at the end were really exciting.

I'm glad that Villarreal won it at the end, Rulli was close to a few penalties before he saved De Gea's.
This is their first trophy in club's history if we do not count the Intertoto cup which they won twice before.
Exactly, what a game! ManU have over confident that it will go their way but Villarreal didn't allow them that space or opportunity. The better team succeeded at the end. Congratulations to Villarreal, their first ever major title! Anyway, we have new King of the Europa League.
Actually I think Manchester United were a bit scared in that match they didn't want to take the risk a lot and OGS didn't have confidence over his bench that's why his subs came in extra time but i think he should changed DeGea as he is not too good at saving penalties his last one he saved was in 2016 I don't blame him on missing his penalty shot but his savings were needed more if he saved one he wouldn't have to be in that position.
The only thing that matters now is that United needs to work on their defense from set prices they conceded crucial goals this year from set pieces. And gfrir only greatest point thus year is that they renewed Cavani because he still performing very well this year despite not playing so much in the first part of the season I still questions how could PSG let him go also he was about to join Benfics in the latest days.

Officially: Coach Antonio Conte leaves managing Inter Milan days after achieving the title of Scudetto, literally shocking news .
with many aspects and many reasons .But there is one thing that does not change in the mentality of this man who knows how to win titles but does not know the meaning of stability and building relationships The long-term problem revolves around his requests and his personality with every department he worked with in Italy and abroad .
The next stop might be: Real Madrid ,Juventus or Tottenham.

Ronald Koeman situation with Barcelona still not looking good.
First it started in last season, for Barcelona the first controversial issue was the phone call between Koeman and Suarez when he conveyed to the player the club’s desire after he terminated the relationship between him and Barcelona board.
The Uruguayan striker said two days ago that Koeman told him that if your case is resolved with the administration, I will rely on you since the first match .You remember that is true !!

After a year, and with a different administration, Koeman himself is not desirable to continue, but he may continue in the event that no alternative is found within the next two weeks, according to Radio Catalonia .

United tomorrow looking for their first titles after the era of Jose Mourinho when they face Villarreal in the final of the Europal League, a very difficult match against Unai Emery, who specializes in this particular competition. Added in that there is more likely United will play with the absence of captain Harry Maguire, it will be a great loss for the English team,Man United still slightly have advantage to get the title as they have got more quality players in their squad and if We looked at the circumstances of the two teams in the recent period we see that both teams seems not in their best momentum.
So I'm going with United to win also I expect a low score game and the goal most likely will come from a header from Cavani he have been lucky with scoring quite many of them with United.
