In fact, in the past, this was the emergence of a generation of parents who gambled offline, and even though they were banned, they still did it, and in fact it seemed like something had become a culture in the area. But as time progresses, maybe that will change a little.

In fact, in my country, what is currently happening is that those aged 17 - 20 are becoming very rapidly increasing in number as online gamblers. Moreover, online gambling is very worrying. because the effect is truly extraordinary, it can even make the younger generation here addicted. This is very bad, isn't it? At a time when the country is always preparing young people who are good for the future of the country, the existence of online gambling which is very accessible means that many young people are actually becoming online gamblers.

But on the other hand, this may not be 100% their fault. Yes, this trend is like a trend. not to mention the government's efforts to eradicate online gambling to minimize or reduce the risks and crimes that are not yet optimal. and this requires very good and significant cooperation from the government and society, especially parents..

If we look at the H2H statistics for Tottenham vs Chelsea, indeed, it is not quite impressive because after all, Chelsea is above Tottenham, regarding the number of wins. However, I was actually a bit surprised by the results, to be honest, I didn't watch it this time. But I think Tottenham will win. This is probably an overthinking thing and I'm already too disappointed with the performance and results of the match with Chelsea, that's what I feel. But indeed, lately, Tottenham has been playing very badly, they haven't even had a win in the last 3 matches, only a red mark.

Well, interestingly, check this:

This is truly exciting news, yes, indeed, based on the news, thankfully Lewy will still stay in Barcelona and this has been confirmed. There have been several rumors that Barcelona will let him go next season, but this confirmation news proves that Lewy will still strengthen Barcelona next season. This is very great to see him at the club again, still.

There is no need to blame Barcelona or even moreover Xavi for this failure of Barcelona this seaosn to be the champion. Yes, this may not be satisfactory enough for Barcelona, also for Xavi of course. But this is the best result. Barcelona was in an even lower position this season. because Girona and Atletico Madrid were ahead. but as time goes by and progress, However, the results are quite different this time.

It makes sense. PSG will usually be much stronger when competing at home. Yes, this is indeed quite influential. Mbappe's movement was really limited in his previous game. In fact, it is truly an annoying sight to see how the Dortmund players block Mbappe, and focus on him, but on the other hand, his teammates have not been able to optimally take advantage of this condition on several quite empty occasions on the pitch. This is definitely a very disappointing draw for Mbappe. And this will change in the second leg. I am also sure that PSG will be that strong at home, like how they were able to reverse their position against Barcelona, where it turns out that Barcelona was not able to move much against PSG at PSG's home ground. So, this will make Dortmund even more alert.

Regarding position issues in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen no longer has any problems and indeed no longer has any rivals. It's just that, currently, Leverkusen is achieving Benfica's new record, which in fact only has 1 match left and that will really be leveling. It may not be that easy to achieve a record, because in the next match, Leverkusen's opponent is Eintracht Frankfurt. It might not be so easy, but I'm sure they will win as usual.

Indeed, Frankfurt will be the next opponent in the Bundesliga that Leverkusen will face. If they win or at least draw, then that will really level up the record from Benfica, right? Ah, surely Xabi will be thinking about this a lot, because he is only 1 game away from going over, and they can't break this before it happens. In the next match, Xabi will definitely try even more optimally to keep his defense stronger and optimize all chances of winning. Because with this, Leverkusen will really succeed in achieving and leveling its record and much more, to surpass and get the new one again.

Yes, several players who were targeted by Xabi for market transfers next season have been left behind. One of them is that they want to bring in Rafa Marin from Real Madrid.
https://thehardtackle.com/transfer-news/2024/04/25/xabi-alonso-wants-bayer-leverkusen-to-sign-rafa-marin/

Apart from wanting to get some of the players Xabi is targeting, there are many big clubs who are also increasingly interested in Leverkusen players and have even started to target him. And will Leverkusen really let them go, for several purposes, including getting other targeted players? Yes, because from now on, Leverkusen must be a bigger and bigger club. as well as competition in much bigger events.

Yes, at least PSG should score 2 goals in the second leg. They might be able to do it considering that during the quarter-finals too, conditions were like this, losing by 1 goal to Barcelona. And if you look at how they play and perform in this match. Actually, it's not bad enough, it's just that the spearhead of the attack this time is not effective enough. Even PSG was actually attacking enough. Well, but, Dortmund have indeed strengthened their defense better.

Mbappe actually played a big role this time, he even almost scored a goal at PSG from his kick, very close. but very unfortunately, it failed. Of the front players, Mbappe still has the best performance among them. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Dembele's contribution did not help much, so you could say it was less than optimal.

Why to reduce his role? He still played quite well if he gets a good support from other players. He proved it by making a hattrick (3 goals) against Valencia yesterday. Lewandowski's role is still needed, he is the only real machine goal in Barcelona squad. If Xavi changes his role or his position, it may bring bad impacts on his performance.

However, it is true that Xavi needs to prepare a young striker to replace his role someday. Since João Félix may be difficult to sign by Barcelona, it is a wise decision to try finding out another young striker. Alexander Isak can be a good option, I think Xavi knows the potential of this player. He showed a good performance by scoring 19 goals in EPL this season. He can be the future of Barcelona striker, he is still young and experienced enough.

Although Valencia often played inconsistently, I think they are just unlucky in this match. If they didn't get a red card and play with 10 players only, they must get a draw in this match at least. Before the red card, Valencia was leading with 1 goal. Unfortunately, their goalkeeper got a red card, then the match changed drastically. Valencia players got a difficulty to defend the attacks of Barcelona, that makes them got 3 conceded goals in the second half of the match.

It is great to see Lewandowski scored many goals again. This time, he made a hattrick, this makes him to compete for the top scorer in La Liga. Because of the good performance of Lewandowski, Barcelona got 3 points. I'm sure Barcelona will be safe to finish in the runner-up position. Anyway, Lewandowski showed to people that he still deserves to be the main striker in Barcelona. I think he should stay in Barcelona for the next season.

I agree that it is better to stop temporarily when we always got losses. There should be an evaluation on our habits, maybe we make the wrong things. And we don't need to be influenced by the losses, don't try to deal with the losses by playing more often. What we need to do is to calm our mind, we need to get entertainment from another source. In this condition, I personally prefer to gather with my family or I take a loot the sight at the nearest tourist attraction. This will easily calm my mind, this makes easier to control emotion.

Sure, we don't try to much focus on earning money. This only causes the excessive gambling because we don't accept losing money and will case the losses. sadly, when we chase the losses, there will be more losses. Finally, we may lose everything if we don't stop it temporarily. So, even if we want to try luck in gambling, don't expect too much on the prize. Always remember to set the limit on the time and funds!!

I didn't watch the match because I'm on the way after travelling from my village. But when I checked the stats of the match, I'm surprised to see Al Ittihad more dominated the match over Al Hilal. This never happened if Al Hilal played with 11 players, so it is clear that the lost of Milinković-Savić really bring a big impact on the match. But it is surprising that Al Ittihad can't take the advantage from the red card, they still got a lose on the match. I can't believe that Al Hilal could score a goal in minute 81' when they only played with 10 players. This showed us that Al Ittihad level is below Al Hilal. 

Anyway, Mitrovic has returned to the lineup. Al Hilal must play with their full power again in the next match. If they meet Al Nassr in the final round, it will be a great match because Al Hilal will play with their machine goal again.

Yes. It is a great match, both teams have played with their best. The draw result indicated that both teams are actually in the same level. However, Real Madrid surely played more effective than Bayern Munich.

Toni Kroos and Vinicius very often did something amazing during the match. These players are surely very skillful, I'm not surprised if they showed a great skill during the match. But Toni Kroos performed quite stable, he still showed a cool performance until now. The old age never made him to play worse, he can keep a good level of his performance.

I think so. Real Madrid looks to have a better chance to go to the final round. In Leg 2, Real Madrid will play at home, it may give an advantage for Real Madrid. So they will be easier to win against Bayern Munich. Playing at home always give an extra motivation and it will be a proud to win the match at own stadium. Let's see if Real Madrid still has a winning mentality to deal with Bayern Munich.

Agree. Even if Bayern management changes the coach, they won't sell Harry Kane. For me, Harry Kane performed very well, they scored many goals for Bayern Munich in every competition. He doesn't only scored many goals in Bundesliga. So, it doesn't make sense if Bayern will sell him because Harry Kane is truly machine goal for Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich can't get maximum result in this season because they have a problem in defense and midfield line. This makes them to easy to get conceded goals.

Sure, Bayern Munich will be more serious to build their squad. They must try to rebuild their defense and midfield line by buying some top players in the next transfer window. Bayern also needs to sign a new coach that will be suitable for Bayern Munich team. This will be their priority because they must expect to dominate Bundesliga again and defeat Leverkusen in the next title race.

In theory, Bayern still has a chance to win UCL trophy. But I am not really sure about this because they are against Real Madrid which knows well how to win the UCL trophy. In my point of view, Real Madrid looks like to beat Bayern Munich, so the dream of UCL title may be very small to be true for Bayern Munich.

true. It was.
But now, it's being much more better.
As what I read from this news, Pharm was owned by the Krause Group, US Frim since February 2021. they also hoped to redesign the stadium, and it is now progressing. So, when Pharma returns to Serie A, the project of stadium redesign is also progressing and also almost finished.

It looks like they are indeed trying to rebuild it, not only in their facilities but also in their capabilities, especially as they are given the opportunity to return to Serie A. Their managing director, Luca Martines, said:

With this, they will be probably more ready again. But once again, Serie A is also not an easy league. Pharma must be more ready to enter the Serie A after qualifying from Serie B. They must struggle more in order to keep it up at the Serie A much longer, not being in relegation zone anymore.

I don't know also what they think, even though Tottenham are sometimes quite troublesome, the problem is that they are inconsistent. Especially when compared to Man City, I still believe that Man City can handle it very well. Yesterday, against Arsenal, Tottenham experienced difficulties and finally admitted their defeat. The inconsistency of a football club is enough to cause their performance to drop very far. And this is sometimes experienced by Tottenham, even when playing against small teams. So, I still can't think why people still doubt Man City won against Tottenham.

Indeed, this is a very big chance for Man City to take over all matches to be winner of all. There is no doubt about it, the aim is for Man City to win all these matches and I am sure that it can all be done very well. Not only that, Man City has been eliminated from the UCL, so how could they give up the EPL trophy, I don't think someone as ambitious as Pep Guardiola would let it happen.

Yes, this is the latest news we heard about Mbappe possible moving to Real Madrid. Mbappe actually already got a personal agreement with Real Madrid, he showed his intention to join Real Madrid for the next season. I think it won't be the same as in the last season, Mbappe's status is a free agent now. PSG management can't stop him anymore. As long as Mbappe didn't extend his contract with PSG, it is clear that Mbappe will leave PSG and probably move to Real Madrid.

There is a big chance that he will leave PSG. He has no intention to play with PSG anymore, he has no good relationship with PSG management lately. Real Madrid is Mbappe's priority now. Sure, it is his dream to join Real Madrid and wins many trophies with Real Madrid. I think Mbappe won't try to postpone his intention again.

But unfortunately, often the tactics used by Ancelotti are quite different and changeable, sometimes quite beyond our predictions and guesses. However, usually, Ancelotti will adjust it, especially in the second half. And there are several things that definitely made Ancelotti decide to put him on the bench first. Matches in La Liga and UCL are quite different. Sometimes, it doesn't take long or full time to do it with their main players. This will depend on the running conditions of the game and also the opponents. So, you can't always be strict and like that.

Anyway, it's about Real Betis vs Sevilla

Source: Real Betis vs Sevilla

Real Betis ultimately failed to win against Sevilla. Yes, indeed, Real Betis seemed to dominate the match. Even in the first round, they got an advantage penalty kick which put them ahead first. However, the match is quite boring. Real Betis' movements were also not that sharp. In fact, they attacked quite a lot, but didn't score any other goals at all. In fact, Sevilla was able to equalize their position with a goal from their only shot on target. This is a very important evaluation of Real Betis.

If we look at the statistics, this is true. Real Madrid has beaten the strongest and favorite club to win the UCL this season, yes, they held the UCL prize last season, Man City. If you think about it, then Real Madrid should also be able to overcome other clubs very well and become champions of the Champions League this time.

However, we also need to emphasize that when talking about football, there is no such thing as safe or underestimating the strength of the opposing team, any team. Because all conditions may change when the performance is underway in the field. So, with this, Ancelotti must be aware and able to control himself and his squad to remain focused on doing the best and most optimally.

Because after all, Bayern is also a strong and tough club. Indeed, if you look at the statistics, Real Madrid should be able to control Bayern. but there will still be very tough opponents. so this definitely won't be easy either. The fear is that in this match, Real Madrid's motivation or strong desire will not be as high as when on fire beat Man City previously.

Fortunately, PSG can actually be said to have won the French Legaue this season because the distance between PSG and the runners up, Monaco, is quite far. there are 12 points. Isn't that quite a lot of distance, right? For this reason, PSG probably won't be too confused about the match in the French League. because their main focus is on UCL, as it is their dream to win the UCL trophy. This might be a golden opportunity for them, before Mbappe leaves PSG.


However, still, when you see PSG not succeeding from opponents they shouldn't have, it's a little annoying. because there are many people who place bets on these events. SO, better for PSG also to optimize all chances even in this local league. But, not too much forcing that will probably danger their squad condition.

Yes, I'm still confused and can't stop thinking about people who think Leverkusen is full of luck, so they can actually win all the leagues and still be unbeaten. This is indeed their process and ability, Xabi's success in managing and managing his team is brilliant. Even if there is luck, that is not the main factor. That's just an assumption. Because, Leverkusen certainly won't always be that good if they only have luck. but in fact, Leverkusen is really full of great efforts, it is not easy for them to reach this level.

Yes, this is a bad weekend for Bayern. Because, when there is a very important match for them, many of their key players will suffer injuries. And this will definitely affect their performance. especially in their back line which is actually sturdy and strong. However, this might be a little different if some of their mainstay backs have not yet returned to the match due to the injury. So, it is quite risky for Bayern Munich, at least in the first match against Real Madrid in the UCL.

This Napoli vs Roma game is very special and also special for Tammy Abraham. How could it not be, his final goal in the 88th minute really saved Roma from defeat against Napoli. This was a draw because of that goal. And that was Tammy Abraham's first goal after his return after injury. It is a dream for him to be able to make his best contribution to Roma, to score goals. And this time, he actually did it. It's not easy, but it really is a dream goal by himself.

Again, this season has not been very good for Roma. Yes, even though they have tried quite optimally to replace the football manager, it is not enough to get Roma to 4th place and qualify for the UCL next season. It will be quite difficult for them to maintain their 5th position considering several tough matches against Roma which will be held in the next few weeks. This will definitely be a tough challenge for de Rossi to do. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Bologna may have far more potential to get more wins in the future, that's how it should be.
