1141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 16, 2024, 01:17:56 PM
That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

I honestly can't lie in this matter, and this feeling often occurs when I gamble with some of my friends, gather in one room wherever it is and agree to gamble together in online gambling types such as slot machines and when one of my friends gets a large amount of winnings such as managing to get a maximum win of x1000 in slot gambling then at that time honestly there is a feeling of envy and maybe it's not just me who feels it but some of my other friends who are not lucky also seem to feel the same way, In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll be able to do a lot more than that.

But what happens is the result is the same and even the amount of my defeat is getting bigger which ultimately makes me owe my friend, so honestly I can't fully control myself when gambling with friends because this feeling must exist when there is one friend who manages to get a big win, and now honestly I prefer to avoid that by gambling alone because this will prevent me from something that can provoke me to increase the amount of bets, or usually I am accompanied by one of my friends who doesn't like gambling because this way he can remind me not to overdo it.
1142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 16, 2024, 12:53:22 PM
Women generally don't like gambling much like my wife is always against gambling if I want to gamble it has to be done secretly. And if a woman in a family encourages her husband to gamble without stopping him, then that family will face many problems.  However, women in most families do not like gambling, which is why they pressure their husbands to stay away from it and reduce the effects of gambling on men.  And in married life, no man can continue to gamble for long, hidden from his wife
I think you are very happy in married life because your wife rules you a lot and seems to love you. If you gamble without listening to your wife it is not right for you. Because gambling is bad addiction it can ruin your life. My  Ex girlfriend's husband was addicted to gambling and lost all his money in gambling and committed suicide. Now I am thinking of marrying my ex girlfriend I think my ex girlfriend can keep me away from gambling.

True, he has a wife who is very caring and concerned about him, I think it seems like his wife has a good understanding in the overall point of view of gambling, she can really conclude that in gambling there are more negatives than positives, if you understand what gambling really is then you will also have the same point of view as that woman, we can see many examples and maybe even you are also aware of the fact that in gambling losses usually always dominate more than wins that only come occasionally and with this means that if you can't stop or just limit it then you will lose money slowly in a certain amount.

So I think if you are experiencing the same scenario as that family where the wife is against gambling then I think it's better to reconsider, don't let you experience problems in your family relationship with your partner just because of gambling which is really an activity that is not recommended because of the many dangers that might befall you. On the other hand, like your story that your ex-girlfriend's husband committed suicide and that is the bad impact of addiction that makes a person suffer from many problems that make him depressed to do things out of control.
1143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 16, 2024, 12:30:15 PM
Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.

I am glad to listen to your own story about quiting of gambling. Gambling at most times comes with negativity rather than positivity.  Although one will say, gambling has some advantages, however the disadvantages of gambling are much more than the advantages.

1. Gambling have caused so many people into psychological problems, because of the high level of probability and unpredictability, many people become highly tensed and frustrated and as such becomes mentally derailed.

2. Gambling makes a lot of people to enter into financial crisis. As bad as the economy of the world is, gambling have caused many people into financial issues and debts thereby affecting them in life.

3. Gambling is regarded as a game of pleasure or a game that people engage in for fun. Because of the nature of the games, it makes it difficult for people to leave it even when they are recording failure. They still stick to playing the gambling games and deriving pleasure in them.

One have to be truly honest about gambling, and the honesty is that, although gambling  have his advantages, but the disadvantages that comes with the advantages are humungos.

Yes honestly I am very grateful when people face a lot of gambling problems whether it is addiction or impact or problems as a result of addiction but it turns out that I myself can do something like this where suddenly and without any intention a sense of boredom comes to my mind even though there is a chance of winning which is always a goal by most people but this is really boring for me, you are right friends overall what dominates in gambling is the bad impact whether it is losing a lot of money or even to stress, one of the reasons is because obviously the percentage of winning is much lower than losing and this is also what makes me even more demoralized to gamble again.

Of course, gambling is very mentally and psychologically involved and if you engage in it with seriousness especially if your main focus is on winning then obviously you will feel psychological disorders because the final result is more losing than winning and that makes us emotional.

As pointed out above, the winning percentage is much lower than the losing percentage and this is confirmed by the fact that you must also know that losing at the end of the session is more common than winning and obviously for people who overdo it in trying to win then usually the opposite happens, they suffer from the problems you mentioned which is one of them losing balance in terms of finances.

That's right, it's nothing more than a game of chance without any certainty as to the end result, so the best advice is to be a responsible gambler.
1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What strategies do you adopt that can help to make millions in sport betting on: January 15, 2024, 03:54:21 PM
There are those who argue that spending time on a comprehensive analysis is not worthwhile, considering that the result may ultimately end in defeat. Perhaps at first glance, this statement seems correct and reasonable. However, if just carrying out a thorough analysis can lead to defeat, especially if you don't do it at all, then it is certain that the result will be defeat. While it is true that no matter how professional we are in conducting analysis, victory cannot be guaranteed, the application of a strategic approach and careful analysis can at least increase our chances of achieving success.

What differentiates those who implement strategy from those who don't? When you don't use strategy and analysis in your betting, failure to win equals significant losses. On the other hand, individuals who bet strategically and conduct comprehensive analysis do not necessarily lose when they fail to achieve victory; Instead, they almost won. The reason behind this lies in the fact that these people have made diligent efforts to achieve victory.

Yes, I agree with this idea because this is gambling where someone will be involved with what is called chance and risk, so even if you carry out a comprehensive analysis with the aim of achieving satisfactory results or winnings, I think it will have absolutely no effect or even nothing. The point is in the final result, however, gambling is an activity of "probability" between winning or losing, so I think all actions that you believe can achieve good results in the final session will only be a waste of time unless you are involved in a type of sports betting that really requires a combination of between skills, analysis and experience but still you cannot be sure that the final result will be what you want.

Still, in the end you will not be able to avoid the risk of losing because after all this is gambling which has absolutely no certainty and guarantee, if only this was an activity that could be won by carrying out or applying a strategy then it is clearly not gambling and maybe it would have been. Many gamblers become rich people, but the reality is not like that. Yes, that's a difference that is quite easy to understand, I understand what you mean that for gamblers who don't apply any strategy and skills at all to sports betting, the chances of winning or losing are probably 50 - 50, and for those who apply strategies based on their knowledge and skills then maybe I can say that they have a 70% chance of winning and a 30% chance of losing.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 15, 2024, 03:30:27 PM

That's a good sign I guess, by hearing that from your partner means that he understand you and trust you in terms of limiting yourself, as long as there's no problem that will raise I guess that words from your partner is an indication that he's giving you the green light just do your responsibility not to dwell that much to avoid any problem to come out.

Gambling is gambling and the bad after effect is something that can ruin your relationship so better to always put that above in any decision making that you'll going to do while playing/gambling.
Yes I don't take it as a career or as a must and a must do something without undermining my limits I can't even gamble with the mindset of making a living chasing rewards from gambling and secondly people tends to channel their efforts and thinking on becoming very rich through gambling with this mindset they will always get addicted to turns into serious issues among themselves. When people understand the values of a responsible gambling then they will always learn to set a limitation for themselves without looking out whatever profit they will make or that is to come, when they play or bets any game they should look their limits to save their home.
That is a good thing for you. Another positive result is that you can finally talk with your husband regarding your gambling habits. At least you already have his consent, you can do gambling without being worried about what will be the opinion of your husband about it. As long as you know your limitation, and you don't think that your gambling activities will be a problem between you and your husband in the future, you will be a responsible gambler.

Yes, if their husbands really give permission to engage in gambling activities then I think there will be no problems in the family relationship between her and her husband, but I just hope that she will be able to maintain her husband's trust by having a good approach and way of gambling so that things don't happen in the future. And maybe I would advise her to remain firm in applying awareness, caution and vigilance to her gambling involvement because as we know that this activity has a lot of things that look tempting that can certainly change one's perspective and mindset such as the temptation of winning.

It is not uncommon to find gamblers who eventually fall into the addiction phase even though they initially had boundaries and control, as I said above that there are so many things that can tempt you and that means anything is possible and it cannot be denied that you might become one of the next victims. So my advice is to maintain awareness and firmness on the precautions you have in place to keep you safe.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Focus on how much you may lose and not only the potential win. on: January 15, 2024, 03:10:37 PM
The different thing in between minding losses over winning is that on the time that you do get used to loses then you would really be that making yourself that somewhat numb towards it.
This what causes you for not to be that impulsive anymore towards gambling specially that you do able to realize those things along the way and make you realize that it was never been that easy
on making winning on gambling on which it is really just that totally opposite on what you had been expecting or anticipating because once that real shit things happen then
this is where realization would be kicking in and this is really just that that typical stuff. Somewhat it cant be avoided that people would really be sticking and minding about potential wins
and even going advanced.
When we are used to losing, there will be a tendency to experience boredom when gambling and maybe that will make us try to reduce our gambling activities. We will not be passive about gambling and will not be too interested in trying to gamble again because we often experience loss. It is a way to try to reduce their gambling activities because when they get bored of gambling due to continuous losing, they will realize that gambling is not for them, so they have to leave it immediately. Especially if they can see that they have lost a lot of money while gambling, so they have no desire to gamble again for a while. If they can fill their free time by doing other things, they can really leave gambling perhaps forever, especially with the experience of experiencing continuous loss. It will make them not want to experience it again.

Well that's right, I experienced what you said about too many defeats that made me feel bored in the end and this is also enough to encourage me to finally reduce my gambling activities, to be honest at first I was a gambler who could be said to be very active, I couldn't miss a day not to gamble, even one day I can do several sessions on types of gambling such as slot machines which are now very busy in the conversation and when defeats continue to dominate after that I really feel a sense of boredom with a little sense of despair because in my mind I can already guess that the end result will definitely be the same as what I often experience, namely losing so that it makes my interest in winning even less until finally now I am very rarely involved in gambling, I don't remember when I last gambled but if I'm not mistaken about 2 months ago.

Honestly now I feel something different in my life, I really feel calm and my money can be balanced because there are no unnecessary expenses such as the budget for gambling, the point is that my obsession with gambling especially on winning has been greatly reduced due to boredom, I don't know if there are gamblers out there who also experience the same thing as me, and my advice if you already feel bored like this then don't let you try to return to gambling because it is still a thing that might eventually tempt you back, for myself honestly I prefer to keep myself busy with many other things.

The Saudi Pro League has been on quite a long holiday and now I feel like I'm missing the league that I always watch every week. It's quite strange indeed when a league that previously I didn't even know existed, is now one of the leagues that I watch and even bet on. This is one form of their success in building their popularity, it cannot be denied that this is the impact of their movements in the transfer market which brought in many star plyers and players who are very well known in the big leagues in Europe.
I want to know if I'm the only one who feels this way or if most people feel the same way. From initially not knowing anything about the Saudi Pro League, it has now become one of the leagues that is on my list of must-watch matches.
Now I'm looking forward to what they do once they gain this popularity, whether they will do something new that will elevate their name even more, or this will just pass by. I do hope they continue it.

Milan, Manchester United and Newcastle are teams whose names are called with Serhou Guirassy for this transfer window now. However as far as I know there is still no official offer made for him. He was said to be injured but it looks like he is on national duty now. I was curious about the seriousness of the so-called injury news for once.

Anyways I assume we would see some offers for him before the winter window closes. Because he is available by paying a really low sum to buy out his release clause. Teams in need of a solid striker like him shouldn't miss the opportunity.
He is one of the players who attracts attention, with VfB he has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga and is the second highest goalscorer after Harry Kane. I haven't heard clearer news from the three clubs you mentioned, but there are many rumors saying they are interested in bringing in Serhou Guirassy in this transfer market. Considering his abilities, I don't expect him to leave Manchester United, I'm not underestimating Manchester United, but there fundamental problems often occur and that is risky for a player because it can affect his performance.
I am one of those people who believes that the environment or situation around a player will influence it, especially if it is something that looks bad or there is a conflict between the people around the club.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 15, 2024, 11:49:15 AM
Along the way, I think this season the European League is more interesting than the previous season, the competition here seems to be no less interesting than the Chmpions League, yes, although we don't say it will be the same as the Champions League, because there, however, the competition is more interesting because it is filled by clubs that really became a big club from the start.
However, at the competitive level, here also presents something interesting, especially when we start talking about existing clubs. Now AS Roma is an interesting topic of conversation, because they are the club that was in the final last season. At the same time, their performance is still far in comparison with other clubs such as Liverpool, for example. There is a club that has managed to attract the attention of many people this season with their young coach, yes, that is Leverkusen.

Because Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have very good results this season then yes, of course, it makes the Europa League interesting too and no less interesting than the Champion League this season. Liverpool who are at the top of the Premier League standings and also Bayer Leverkusen who are at the top of the Bundesliga and unbeaten in all competitions then yes, at least at this moment Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen can be assumed to be better than the teams in the Champion League. But indeed, when it comes to prestige then of course the Champion League still has high prestige. But anyway, if in the end later Liverpool will meet and play against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final, of course the match will have the same great prestige and tension as the match in the Champion League.
You are right, in the Champions League the prestige will be higher than in the European League, and in fact many clubs always target the title there every season, even though that cannot be realized because they are still unable to compete with other clubs who are better prepared and stronger.
Usually this is one of the targets for a club to be in the Champions League later, so the European League champion will automatically get 1 ticket to go to the Chmpions League in the following season. However, favorite clubs cannot be arrogant and arrogant, because here it often happens that favorite clubs are actually defeated and eliminated by clubs that are not stronger than them. Every season always displays something like that.
At least they can target this as one of their targets, even though the prestige won't be as big as when they won the Champions League title.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 15, 2024, 11:33:45 AM

Previously I said that Madrid would definitely win the final match and win the title. I really believe Madrid will win and I bet on Madrid. Barcelona's performance this season is very bad in my opinion. They are still a good team in La Liga but we should compare Barcelona with Madrid and not with other teams. That's because they are two legendary teams and the El Classico match is one of the best rivalries in the world. So this season they are far behind Madrid even though we know that Madrid has not had a pure striker since Benzema left Madrid, but they have been able to perform extraordinary with some of the existing squad.
First, I congratulate Real Madrid on their success in winning the Spanish Super Cup, this is their first trophy this season and can also pave the way for them to achieve even more this season.
They didn't waste any opportunities from the first minute, and even within 10 minutes they were able to lead by 2 goals in this match. Vinicius Junior became a star with the 3 goals he scored and succeeded in bringing Real Madrid to become champions.
Yes, Barcelona doesn't look better than Real Madrid, and in my opinion Real Madrid really deserves to be champions in the Spanish Super Cup.
Their task is not over yet, they still have to fight in La Liga and also in the Champions League, they have the opportunity to win the treble this season.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 15, 2024, 11:18:23 AM

The consistency in Manchester United is absolutely questionable because the team has not yet done anything great to accord them with the huge honour. Not for this season. Manchester United have been so inconsistent with their fixturings and if not for the big team that they are, they will have fall below the lines more than they are currently at the table standing.

I will put the majority of the blame on the manager, Eric Ten Hag and the management too for allowing all the unnecessary internal wranglings from the beginning of the season till today. It caused the team not to be stable at all and all they were doing was more-or-less like a trial-by-error kind of game.
In a good number of matches, Manchester United have shown some positive levelling up in their performance and there is no doubt that even in the next few matches we will also be seeing the club either striving to make us more proud or to keep with the record which their already created before and for sure, many of their fans are already tired of Manchester united mismanagement crisis,  and this internal crisis in the club have to lead the club into what it is today and for that, we have seen that most of Manchester united winnings are now seen as based on luck and nothing more.
But also we know that,  in football, anything can happen and there is a high possibility that we may see them putting up a positive move that will change the face of the league if the odds of changing their back and good luck working for them.
In a club, it's not just improving that we have to look at, but we also have to look at how they can maintain their consistency in order to stay on the right track, and Manchester United under Erik Ten Hag have not been able to show that. I am surprised by this club, because when viewed from the players they have, they actually have a good squad, even some of them are considered as players who have high potential. Maybe we are familiar with players who have good performances, but after becoming Manchester United players they cannot show something that can make us believe in them more. Is it about comfort that ultimately makes them decline? or indeed this club has internal problems that have not been resolved until now. I don't know.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 15, 2024, 11:03:16 AM
Roma lost once again and now they are basically out of the possibility of qualifying at the next Champions League.

There is no way that Mou will sit next year here again.
Mourinho really couldn't keep up with the current football, he couldn't develop and he milked out his past. I don't think he has a chance to coach a big team anymore. This profession is like being a doctor. You need to constantly read and develop, you must not fall behind. This is what happens if you arrogantly say I am the best and do not improve yourself. Clubs such as Roma, Arsenal, Tottenham have not been champions for many years. Now it is time for other similar clubs to change, they need to change the coach and staff. The fact that the same teams are always champions bores the league. If competition increases, the league will be of better quality. By the way, Milan's job is difficult with this football. Regardless of the opponents, weak midfield dominance, limited passing options in attacks, positioning of the midfield seem to be troublesome.
Yes indeed strategically, the strategy he applies can be read by the opponent, but I think we cannot blame Mourinho entirely, because when viewed from the composition of the players they also do not have a strong squad like the club in Serie A this.
More than that, I don't know what will be the management's decision, whether they will keep Jose Muorinho or vice versa. Both choices have their own risks, if they keep Jose Mourinho until now he has not been able to show his best, even if they prefer to bring in a new coach there is no guarantee that the coach they will bring will be better than Jose Mourinho. I have actually said this several times, yes they must consider everything in making decisions.
1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 15, 2024, 10:47:56 AM
Real Madrid or Manchester City. Don't try to buy quotes from scraps. European football is over, there are only these two teams Smiley


I think the champions league is not just Real Madrid and Manchester City.
There is still Bayern Munich which is very strong. This season in the champion league in the group phase became an unbeaten team. although in the group it is also not easy because there is Manchester United too.
So a strong candidate for champion league champion this season besides Manchester City and Real Madrid, Bayern Munich is also a top tier candidate along with Real Madrid and Manchester City.
When in the Champions League, our discussion must also be comprehensive and look at all the clubs that have similar strengths. While I agree that Real Madrid vs Manchester City would be the ideal final, clubs like Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and others also have a chance of being in the final.
This isn't a one-club Ligue 1, it's very competitive and things can happen that you wouldn't expect. One match will be decisive, especially as we are in the knock out stages which means every match must be maximized and no unnecessary mistakes must be made which will cost them in the end.
Indeed they have 2 opportunities in 2 matches, but it becomes more risky when 1 match cannot be maximized properly.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 15, 2024, 10:26:35 AM
Of course, in all aspect, Munich is far superior to Hoffeinheim playing at home, they have better players, especially as Kane is also in the main squad, so it's no surprise that Munich was able to win the match easily. Even Hoffeinheim couldn't responding to Munich attack and unable to create a goal opportunity until in the end Hoffeinheim had to accept a crushing defeat from Munich with a score of 3:0.
It will be mid-February before Munich faces a match in the UCL, they have to face Bayer Leverkusen away and this is quite a tough match for both of them, especially Munich where they have to rotate players to be able to perform optimally in 2 important competitions because they are only 3 days apart and of course this is a very interesting match to see the two teams at the top fighting for the title.
With the final result of 3-0, it is certainly a fact that Bayern Munich are superior in all aspects compared to their opponents. Bayern munich wants to reclaim the top of the standings from Leverkusen, because that Bayern will not waste a single opportunity in the match they are playing. We have seen Bayern munich in second place for a long time so it is time for Tuchel to bring Bayern munich back to leading the standing.

Even though Leverkusen appear more consistent, they have been in a pressured situation all this time. Because so far Bayern Munich has appeared quite impressive to catch up on points from Leverkusen. These two teams are candidates to win this season and perhaps the competition will continue every week. Leverkusen will face a strong team next week and if they fail in this match then I am sure Bayern munich will take advantage of the situation to overtake them.
You can see the difference in quality between these two clubs, one with a well-rounded squad and the reigning champions for more than a decade in a row, the other with the limited capabilities they have, both in terms of players and others. Not only that, in the midst of that difference, Hoffeinheim also could not play with a full squad in 90 minutes, because one of their players had to shower faster after receiving a red card in the 74th minute, obviously it was even more pressure on Hoffeinheim in this match.
Leverkusen have done a good job so far, they've been able to apply pressure and even now they're above Bayern Munich in the standings. I hope they can maintain that and if they can I hope they'll be part of the history that breaks Bayern Munich's record of consecutive championships.

Good statement, basically everything the OP said is a fact that really happens, however gambling is not a place to earn, this is nothing more than an entertainment activity or like a playground that involves risk and there is no certainty and guarantee of any victory at the end of the session, everything there goes randomly, hence this is why we should not put any goals in gambling because there is absolutely no certainty as I said above.

For people who end up with addiction consciously and unconsciously are those who have the wrong point of view and understanding of gambling, I often see this mindset in someone who has a financially underprivileged background so when he hears that someone else or one of his friends managed to get a big win then obviously this is a motivation for him to get involved with the aim of getting the same results to fix his financial crisis which in the end the actual fact is just the opposite, instead of fixing the financial crisis but instead makes them suffer even more because of losing some money. For the typical gambler who is always chasing victory, they usually do not have the ability to accept defeat because it is not their goal and they intend to take revenge or chase victory to restore what they have lost and this is the cycle of addiction that can come consciously and unconsciously. In gambling, it doesn't matter if you are rich, if you get involved based on the wrong understanding then obviously you will end up in a slump.
1156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 15, 2024, 03:20:14 AM
I don't agree that successful gamblers are addicts. why is that? because I still see some people who are even new to the world of gambling and immediately take the gambling chair. and at that moment he won the gambling. is that person an addict? I don't think so. they just got lucky and then left and never came back again at least not for a long time.

I guess it all depends on what you call a successful gambler.

In my mind a successful gambler is someone that somehow makes a big win over time or at once, and then they simply quit gambling for good with the win.

So, they are not a gambler anymore, therefore not addicted to it.

Now, if they keep playing then they are addicted, because the most likely scenario is that they will lose their winnings over time.

I think a person's understanding of a successful gambler is very much dependent on their own point of view, everyone has different opinions and that means that it doesn't necessarily mean that what you think is right that other people will say the same thing.

I respect your idea of a successful gambler being one who manages to win a large amount of money and then walk away for a long time, but on the other hand I think it's quite difficult to do that, or I mean it's not easy to allow yourself to ignore the tantalizing situation by assuming that it was really luck that came unexpectedly, We can see that most gambling addicts come from the first win, which means they want that kind of win again which eventually cannot ignore gambling activities and even more aggressive in their gambling activities because they want to repeat that kind of win again, that's the reason why it's not easy to ignore the tantalizing situation when you get a big win, if it was easy to do then there would be very few gamblers who are addicted.

From my own point of view, honestly, successful gamblers are those who are able to control all their gambling activities well, such as having a very firm financial planning and management that keeps them fine in the long run, it's not easy to do so and that's why I conclude that successful gamblers are those who are able to control all their gambling activities.

Even though Lecce's loss could be something that would be frustrating for Lazio, yes they played a game that could provide equal resistance to Lazio and based on what I saw, Lecce actually deserved to take home at least 1 point from this match. However, even though the statistics are almost the same, what counts is the number of goals they can score, and Lazio can create those goals to enable them to secure 3 points.
Previously I thought maybe Lazio would win by more than 1 goal and wouldn't face any resistance from Lecce. But I was wrong, it turns out Lecce can play well and can handle Lazio's game. It was a shame that they conceded 15 minutes into the second half so that Lazio could seal a very valuable victory for them.

Since earlier I have heard a lot of news about Benzema having problems with Ittihad but there doesn't seem to be any convincing confirmation and I think it's just a rumor, it wouldn't be possible if Ittihad would let Benzema go while even though he hasn't had success at Ittihad at least Benzema's reputation will be able to improve Ittihad's reputation. which is considered one of the good clubs since Benzema joined Ittihad, there are many benefits, it's just that Benzema doesn't seem to be very productive and for me this is not about a problem with the club but just not being able to build chemistry with other players.
This is only temporary information but we will have to wait and see whether this is true or false, but for me this is just a rumor because Benzema is a professional player who can maintain his reputation for a club that can pay him a big salary.
Yes, I also haven't heard anything that could confirm that their relationship is not good. It's true that currently Benzema hasn't shown anything extraordinary, but don't just blame him because what I see is that their overall performance doesn't show anything good, it would be unwise to only blame himself, even though the club itself can't show anything very good. Good.
I have said this many times, that no matter how good the players are, they will not be able to move alone, they are a unit that is part of a team, so teamwork is really needed here. If you just blame the players when the club experiences failure, then that is something that is very easy to do. In fact, in my opinion, blaming the coach must be on a strong basis and cannot only be seen from one side.

I think Ligue 1 and Serie A are the only championships from Europe where we don't have a surprising team that is doing very great this season. In Spain we have Girona , in Germany we have Leverkusen and in Premier League we do have Aston Villa.

Today I might even trow a bet on Lion to win because they do have 3 wins in a row and still a decent team who could produce great football if they want and to be honest , LeHavre have not been solid at all lately. I also can't see Lion staying in the relegation zone for much longer even if they somehow gonna lose points today or make a draw.  Cheesy
In Ligue 1 there are rarely clubs that can be a surprise, even if there are they can only survive until the first half of the season. This season, maybe Nice is a club that can show something good, but as we can see that only happened at the start of the season and currently they are also showing a decline. They couldn't maintain their performance until the end of the season. Actually, I don't really hope that there will be a surprise here, because like the previous season they couldn't survive until the end, it could be said that they could only be good at the start, then they would be the same club as usual.
Yes, in the 3 leagues you mentioned, all three have clubs that can enliven the competition, not only enliven, but they can also compete with other leading clubs, whereas previously they might have been clubs that were not taken into account in that competition.

Along the way, I think this season the European League is more interesting than the previous season, the competition here seems to be no less interesting than the Chmpions League, yes, although we don't say it will be the same as the Champions League, because there, however, the competition is more interesting because it is filled by clubs that really became a big club from the start.
However, at the competitive level, here also presents something interesting, especially when we start talking about existing clubs. Now AS Roma is an interesting topic of conversation, because they are the club that was in the final last season. At the same time, their performance is still far in comparison with other clubs such as Liverpool, for example. There is a club that has managed to attract the attention of many people this season with their young coach, yes, that is Leverkusen.
