Entering the second month of this year, and in this second month there is a scheduled match between Lerverkusen vs Bayern Munich, honestly I can't wait to see that meeting. Both of them are in very tight competition at the top of the standings. Leverkusen still leads with 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich.
This match will be held at Leverkusen's headquarters. In the previous meeting, Leverkusen was able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw when Leverkusen played an away match. Of course, with host status in this match, Leverkusen will benefit more because they will get full support from their supporters.
This will also be very important because the results of the match will have a big influence on the two competing clubs. The winning target will be the target that both clubs will pursue.

I praised you when you said that it would be easy for Manchester City to defend the title, that was quite a bold statement for me, because in the Champions League I don't think it is easy to defend the title. with fierce competition filled by the best clubs in Europe, it will be difficult for anyone to defend the title.
However, I agree that Manchester City has a strong foundation, Pep Guardioala has succeeded in forming it since he first came to Manchester City. With that foundation, at least the opportunity for them to defend their title is quite open.
However, we also have to see the improvement of other clubs this season which are also showing good development, Real Madrid with its young players, Inter Milan which looks increasingly ready this season and several other clubs which are also showing good development.

Yes, of course, if they succeed in winning those 2 titles, it will add to the emotional feeling when they part ways. However, I also agree that even if they fail in these two competitions, Jurgen Klopp deserves to receive appreciation from elements related to Liverpool, be it management, plyers or loyal Liverpool suporters. He has spent time here since he first arrived, and his achievements with Liverpool are also one of the best records in Liverpool's history.
But the most important thing is that I hope that Liverpool will move from now on to aim to be ready to replace Jurgen Klopp on the coaching bench, because after all, as a club they have to think about the future of the club too, one of which is by bringing in a coach who will bring something better than Jurgen Klopp. It's not an easy task, but I hope that whoever will manage Liverpool will be able to bring fresh air to Liverpool.

It's not an easy match, but with all the advantages on paper they have, they should be able to finish this match with a win.
In fact, every Ligue 1 match they play, Paris Saint Germain will always hold the status of favorites, no matter who the opponent is. But the fact is that they also often slip up and in the end do not win the match. I will consider it still reasonable, because it is not easy to get a victory in every match. But the problem is when they don't show a good game, because we can say their defeat or draw is not because they are unlucky, but they deserve to get that result judging by their performance in the matches they play.
Apart from winning, for me a promising game must also be shown.

I don't know what happened to Onana, he made so many mistakes that ultimately cost Manchester United. But I am more surprised why he is still given the main place by Erik Ten Hag amid his performances that are far from good. Erik Ten Hag actually has options on the bench, why doesn't he use them?
I am starting to doubt Erik Ten Hag's capacity as a coach, I mean he chooses players based on what he likes without considering his performance. Many coaches do this, yes they will bench a player who is having a very bad performance, no matter how big the player's name is.
He once did it to Ronaldo, even though at that time I thought Ronaldo's performance was still quite good, but he didn't do it to Onana. If the situation is like this (he chooses players based on what he likes) then I believe Manachester United will be even worse.

Well that should be a consideration for the coach, indeed when both players can still be called up to strengthen the national team, but they must first consider providing opportunities for younger players. Because when these two players are still playing, I'm not sure whether they will make a big contribution or not, I don't doubt them, but considering their age, of course it will be a consideration for us.
I think they also as players must provide opportunities for their juniors to be able to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, because it cannot be denied that there they will gain a lot of valuable experience which later might motivate them to do even better.

I also expected a fierce match between the two clubs, but the fact that Al Nassr dominated and even scored 6 goals in this match, this is obviously a very surprising result, and as a friendly match I also wanted to see an interesting match, but I didn't see that.
I'm a bit disappointed that Ronaldo didn't play, as well as Messi. Messi did play, but he came on at the end of the game and that didn't satisfy me. I was hoping both clubs would field these two players from the start, but it looks like they chose to keep them on the bench.
Yes, since the arrival of players who have played in Europe, I think the quality of SPL clubs has improved more than before. I don't want to say that SPL is better than MLS now, but looking at the results of this match it seems so.

Real Madrid managed to record a victory against Getafe, with this result they managed to return to the top of the standings after successfully shifting Girona and now they have a difference of only 2 points.
The match belongs to Real Madrid, although how much hard work from Getafe to keep up with the game from Real Madrid but they are not that strong to really provide great resistance that can make REal Madrid unable to win in this match. Joselu can create 2 goals, he can create at the beginning of the first half and also the beginning of the second half.
Girona must be able to focus more, because however their chances are still open even though they are now below Real Madrid. It is very difficult to compete with Real Madrid, because they have everything to be able to compete with clubs like Girona.

Hmm I'm curious, what is it that makes you blame yourself for the losses that you have experienced and why do you start the same thing? If that's true then maybe I would say that you are not a responsible gambler in the sense that you can't accept any results at the end of the session, but if it only happened once, meaning you didn't make it a habit and only at certain moments then maybe I would say that it's quite normal because everyone can never always avoid making mistakes that make them disappointed or lose, but if you keep repeating the same thing and with the same reaction at the end of the session especially when losing then maybe as I said above you are not able to accept the fact that you lost and that means there is no responsibility in your gambling approach, logically if you are always angry with yourself for losing then why not find a solution? For example, reduce the budget so that at the end of the session you don't feel too disappointed with yourself or another way may be to quit.

Yes if the situation is as you say then maybe I would also slightly agree with your assumption that the first win will not always be able to make a gambler immediately addicted, but I say that such a situation will always be able to trigger someone into the addiction phase, it doesn't take long and especially if in the next session they manage to get such a win again then obviously they will really think that gambling is a place to earn and then after that defeat will dominate.

This is the trap of the algorithm that casinos apply to gambling, especially if you bet on the type of game that is pure luck outside of sports betting, most people who manage to get such results in the first stage then usually they will think that they are great and this is what is dangerous because obviously the next time they will do more experiments because they think that they will get a lot of money. On the other hand, I think there are very few gamblers who can use their winnings wisely, it will only be able to be done by those responsible gamblers or those who have high flying hours such as professionals who have a lot of experience about the various situations that are there.

The manipulators are not always able to give something according to what the gamblers want, the result will depend entirely on luck but the difference is that the manipulators have a way to convince some people who come and who will become victims of their business so there will definitely be some people who come to ask for some references about who will win at the end of the match which of course will become a gambler's bet material.

Yes what you said is also true that however we cannot blame them the fortune tellers or spiritual houses because this is just a culture that continues to grow and be maintained, and what we blame or we give direction and advice is those gamblers who are lost in the wrong mindset about gambling so they think of going to spiritual houses just to look for references or information about their bets, of course they must be immediately directed to the right path so that they can become healthy and not excessive gamblers.

The thinking of such people is ridiculous, on the other hand I don't think anyone should think that gambling can be used as an alternative to solving financial problems, but yes all this is out of our control and maybe there are some gamblers or anyone out there who  really has this kind of thinking. However, this is not a thought that is the result of reasoned consideration, and this means that it is likely that they got this idea when they were in a stressful situation in their lives due to financial problems, especially debt.

On the other hand, being a responsible gambler is the key, this is the more recommended approach because with this then the situation will not be as terrible, it is the same as being able to accept any situation at the end of the session, when winning then you will consider yourself lucky and not "GREAT" and when losing then the opposite, you will tell yourself that "this is gambling" where if there is a chance of profit then the  possibility of losing is also not always avoidable, I think with this then they will not lose control which can make them act unexpectedly.

Yes, I understand that  every gambler has expectations, but only a few of them are too pushy and with this it is clear that the number of attempts made will not be too many so this is what makes responsible gamblers stay in the safe zone even though they cannot completely avoid the possibility of losing.

I think all gamblers must have felt or experienced a situation where they were controlled by emotions which in the end led them to a lot of pressure along with a significant amount of defeat, emotions are something that exists in humans and this is something natural but maybe there are some people who still have good control, and usually in my opinion the danger is for those who have a personality that is easily provoked even with trivial things which in the end it is clear that they will experience emotions more often which can trigger many bad effects.

Sometimes gamblers who have a good approach by having self-control along with some other restrictions are not infrequently one of the people who experience the adverse effects of gambling due to emotions that cannot be completely avoided, and I think what is needed here is to apply firmness in terms of awareness because by maintaining awareness of gambling which is nothing more than a game of chance, then with acceptance of this fact I think emotions will not dominate too much.

Previously we speculated about the possibility that Messi would play his last World Cup, and now we start talking about whether he will be in the squad that Argentia will take to the next World Cup or not. It's obviously difficult to say he will be there, but it's not impossible that it will happen. So far there are no signs whether he will retire in the near future or not, but 2 years is quite a long time and he could suddenly decide to retire.
It's the same with Ronaldo, he is still active now and in terms of goal productivity he is still good, so we are also starting to talk about whether he will return to the World Cup or not, because in terms of his game he is still quite good even though he is no longer in Europe.

Indeed, the target of SPL clubs is to recruit players who will no longer decide to retire, because it will be very difficult for them to bring in young players, because they will prefer to have a career in Europe rather than in Arabia. Their future is more focused in Europe than here and in my opinion the young players will not see the nominal money they will get. This does not mean to underestimate the competition here, but we can see that the quality and experience of young players will be greater if they are in Europe, because in terms of Arab competition it is not as good as Europe, especially in developing young players.
Yes, Rakitic's joining adds to the list of players who have had careers in Europe and have also joined big clubs and continued their careers here.

After they failed to maintain their victory against Brest, Paris Saint Germain will travel to Strasbourg headquarters this week. They must not make the same mistakes in this match as they did before, because it costs them a lot.
Statistically, the club they will face in this match is no better than the club they played against the previous week, so their chances of winning could be greater. However, they still shouldn't underestimate their opponents, which might later come back to harm them.
It would be a shame if they had to suffer unsatisfactory results again with opponents who were no better than them. They must prepare for the match as best as possible.

I agree with this, their performance still cannot be expected to win the title. Instead of focusing on their title target, it would be better for them to improve their appearance first. Because if their appearance is very good, they can easily get a title. But if their appearance is still a mess, for me it really doesn't make sense if they are talking about a title.
They can use Manchester City as an example, their performance has been very good in the last few seasons, and as a result they were able to get their first title in the Champions League. When overall they are very good, then they don't need to worry anymore, because maybe it's just a matter of time if they want to get a degree. Like Manchester City, they have repeatedly failed in the Champions League, and last season they found the time to succeed in the Champions League.

If you look closely at them, it looks like Arsenal is playing a strategy without a striker, like Mamnchester City did before they brought in Erling Hsaland. Of course it's a risk for them, but so far they've been pretty good at it.
Arsenal has not fully matured with the team formed by Arteta in recent years, but if Arteta is kept longer I am sure he will find his glory days, because I see the process he is carrying out is also progressing very well so far.
They just haven't been able to be consistent throughout the season, and the depth of their squad is not completely evenly distributed, so when they have to be left behind by one of their mainstay players they seem to have dificulty finding plyers who can fill the void left behind. I see their future in Arteta's hands looking good.

Nobody wants Jurgen Klopp to leave so soon, especially with his performance with Liverpool which is still showing good performance. But that is the choice he has made and at the end of this season he will relinquish his status as coach of Liverpool.
Of course, they will want the Champions League title, but the problem is now they are not there and are in the Europa League. I think they will fight so that they can become champions in the Europa League, because even though this is not the highest competition at European level, it will be a parting gift if they manage to win the Europa League this season.
They are the biggest favorites along with Leverkusen, with that status the fans definitely want the best result in this competition, namely becoming champions.

Every time I see Manchester United playing there are always doubts in my mind, because as you said, sometimes they play well, sometimes they are mediocre and sometimes they are very bad. And if the percentage of their play that is mediocre and bad is greater than when they play well.
It is very risky to bet on this club because we don't know what they will experience with the inconsistency they always show. Sometimes when I bet on them, they lose and vice versa if I didn't bet they would win, and that happened many times. For the rest of the season I will probably avoid matches when Manchester United is playing.
In the last few matches alone we can see what they experienced in the matches they played.
