Inter - Napoli game was important for Napoli and Milan both in terms of staying at the same point or having a gap of three points. After losing to Fiorentina, Milan hoped Napoli to do the same too. And against a team like Inter in an away game, it is not easy to win. And that was what happened yesterday also. Inter managed to beat Napoli by 3-2 and have got closer to the Napoli-Milan duo at the top. It is good to see that the competition is fired up even more now.
With the defeat from inter, napoli squandered the opportunity to stay away from ac milan, and this is not the first time this has happened, I remember when in week 12 actually ac milan also had the opportunity to overtake napoli but unfortunately when napoli a draw, milan also got the draw against Inter and this makes the competition between the two teams only different on goal difference with the same points, I think the competition between Milan and Napoli will likely be very tight until the end of the season. |

I did not think that Napoli and Milan would get their first defeat of the season in week 13, and to be honest I am very surprised if this season when Milan drew, Napoli also got a draw in the previous few matches, and even what happened today did not much different from before, when Milan lost to Fiorentina but Napoli also couldn't win when dealing intermilan, so with this defeat it didn't change the position between Napoli and Milan at the top of the standings.

Not just Zidane,a coach who knows the Manchester United system and can turn poor players to good players,just as Thomas Tuchel did Chelsea.
Zidane is a good choice but seems a delay might come up and result to not finalising a deal.
Laurent Blanc the former pars saint German Coach is also available.
Why not make move for such experienced one ?
Currently manchester has been linked with several experienced coaches, such as zidane, pochetino, luis enrique and even eric ten hag so far, but from several names that have been rumored to coach manchester, I think zidane is the strongest candidate to replace solkajer, although not yet a solid approach carried out by Manchester but reportedly Ronaldo has personally contacted Zidane and asked his former coach to want to be part of the Manchester squad this season. |

Many people underestimate the strength of Ajax. I would not be surprised if they can get get it into the final, depending of the drawings of course.
Ajax so far has shown a pretty good performance in both the league and champions league, although not the favorite team to win the champions league but I see if ajax might give a surprise this season in the champions league, as far as I see, this season ajax has proven if they don't may be underestimated by other clubs and I hope that in the drawing later ajax will get a balanced opponent with them. |

Let's see how Michael Carrick handles the team against Villarreal and Chelsea this are the two most important games at hand.
Maguire back there in our defense is also a huge setback, too slow and dull to be there.
I feel he's the worst defender in Manchester United history.
Yes, while Carrick will replace the position that was left by Solskjaer for a while, because Manchester may be looking for a coach who will work until the end of the season, it is enough to wait for Carrick progress to be able to handle Manchester in the two big games, so far it is Carrick who being Solskjaer assistant, of course, he has a game scheme that is almost the same as Solskjaer in my opinion, but right now of course he will have an absolute decision regarding the formation of the squad later, and hopefully he can apply a different squad to the Manchester defense later, because admit it or not Manchester has The defense has been pretty bad this season and it's time for Carrick to not played Maguire in the next game. |

Compared to other competitors, I agree that for now Real Madrid is the most convincing to win the La Liga trophy. But there are still 25 more games
to play for Real Madrid, there is a possibility that Real Madrid will drop points in the next few matches. If we look at the previous season Real Madrid
lost by two points to Atletico, so I hope this season Real Madrid can learn from their mistakes.
This is most likely the case, seeing the progress made by Real Madrid is quite convincing, even though there are da Sevilla behind them who are ready with all their squads to reach that position. Hnay need just a few points following the lag, but as at the moment Real Madrid's condition is difficult to penetrate and shifts its position to win a trophy. This season La Liga competition is quite competitive because there are 3 or 4 teams that have the chance to win at the end of the season, Sevilla and Real Sociedad who are not yet seeded in the championship competition, but are able to continue to pressure Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings this season, looking at the performance of both teams, honestly I don't dare to say if madrid can be free to lock the title this season and maybe madrid this season will get tough resistance from sevilla and real sociedad and i think madrid should not slip even in one game if they don't want to be overtaken other teams. |

Defensive position has been one of Manchester United's weaknesses in several seasons, the duo Lindelof and Maguire often made blunders and mistakes that were quite fatal for Manchester United, it was proven when losing to Manchester City MU's defense was very bad even De Gea was furious at half-time before half-time. enter the changing room.
In addition to the lack of strategy that Ole has in the Manchester United game so far, of course we can also see if there are too many holes in the defense aspect implemented by Manchester in match, so their defense is very easy to penetrate, besides that, manchester defenders are also often late to anticipate the ball because there is too much space when they play. I agree with you, this season Maguire and Lindelof are not good defenders and both often miss communication, so it's not uncommon for opposing players to score goals from these mistakes, but oddly enough they continue to have the trust of Ole to maintain the Manchester defense all this time. |

The Peps have announced that Kevin De Bruyne has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus while in Belgium and that he will be quarantined for ten days. Manchester City's next 10 games will be against Everton, Paris Saint-Germain and West Ham respectively! The absence of Kevin De Bruyne is certain. Although that is bad news, Man City and Pep always have options. As far as I understand, City don't rely on individuals. City has performed better without him so far.
Missing de bruyne in the midst of a tight match schedule is certainly very detrimental for manchester city, but the equal quality of players possessed by manchester city certainly will not be too difficult for guardiola to rotate players in the next few matches, I think gundogan might be an option for guardiola to replaces de bruyne in the game against everton later. I also see that the Manchester City squad is strong because indeed they have an even squad depth and do not depend on individuals, making their game better and consistent so far. |

The position of the two teams in the standings is very far away and Atletico Bilbao should have won easily against Levante, currently Bilbao is in 8th position while Levante continue to be in the relegation zone or in 17th position. Very bad season for Levante because they have never won even a win this season and only drew 6 times. But playing as home can provide an advantage for Levante to get up and away from the relegation zone.
In the last few matches bilbao got negative results and of course against levante will be an opportunity for bilbao to win again, now levante who are in the relegation zone of course also need points, but it looks like they will be very difficult to get points from bilbao, so far I see levante defense is really quite bad and in fact they have conceded 13 goals in just the last 5 matches they have played, and I don't think levante as hosts can gain anything with their current squad and you can see if they have suffered loss of from several home match. |

Tonight is the Monaco vs Lille match... I think this game could well end in a draw as Monaco has a Europa League game coming up and Lille will play in the Champions League... Both teams are in the middle of the home league standings... Most likely the match will be a non-scoring one, as the teams are set up for the European competition!
monaco vs lille is a big club, a club that often plays in the european league, the two teams will meet each other in the league tonight, to improve their ranking in the league, now monaco is ranked 10th with 18 points, while lille is below monaco Tonight, I'm optimistic that Monaco will be able to get 3 points. Both teams are big teams in the French league, but unfortunately both teams are currently having a pretty bad season so far in Ligue 1, and the match against Lille will later be an opportunity for Monaco to get back to winning ways, having previously had negative results in the their last three matches in all competitions, I think the match will definitely run very tight, because Lille as the defending champion this season certainly really needs points to get back to the top of the French league this season. |

In today's match between FC Augsburg and Bayern Munich, I am counting on a high score. The hosts have one of the weakest defenses in the league and if Bayern scores the first goal quickly the game could end in a disaster for Augsburg. My bet is over 3.5 goals.
Against Augsburg looks like it will be a very easy match for bayern munchen later, besides they are superior so far from Augsburg, bayern munchen are also quite consistent when playing away and they managed to score at least 3 goals in 4 away games this season, I think against Augsburg will produce a lot of scores for bayern munchen, my prediction is that bayern munchen will win with a minimum score of 0-3 in the match. |

Which games at the weekend do you find interesting? There are no typical smashers. At least that is my opinion.
Okay. There is the local city derby between Union Berlin and Hertha Berlin. Games like that are always great to watch for the fans. But I don't see a top match this weekend.
it's true what you said, indeed there is no good match in the 12th week of the Bundesliga which may be quite big and will be enough to determine their position in the standings, just like you, I personally will also miss this week Bundesliga match. a little information, this week Germany reached a new high in the incidence of covid, and reportedly the German government requires all players who compete in the Bundesliga to be vaccinated, as we know many footballers are still pro and contra against vaccination and so far they only show a negative test result letter when going to compete and in contrast to the case with spectators who are required to vaccinate before entering the stadium. |

actually, it's not so important for both clubs because they guaranteed the places in the next stage. there is only question which team will take the 1st spot and who will take the 2nd.
It can be said that the main mission of the competing clubs is to qualify for the next round, but as much as possible they will aim for the grup winner as their last position in an elimination grup, as group winners of course they have the opportunity to avoid other teams who also end up as other group winners and that way at least the group winner will most likely face a team that ends up as a runner-up in another group and has the potential to meet a weaker club later. Of course, the main goal of any team in the Champions League is always to reach the next stage of the tournament and therefore success or failure is determined, but this can only be for teams that do not claim more. But if the team claims more, then winning the first place in the group can give the team the necessary confidence and, at least on paper, ensure that the opponent gets easier. Because it is unlikely that the same Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain want to get Bayern or Liverpool in the first round of the playoffs. Therefore, you can rely on your strength as much as you like and say that you still need to beat everyone on the way to the finals, but it's still better to protect yourself a little if there is at least some opportunity for this. Indeed what you say is very true, if some teams will actually try to come out as top of the group to avoid meeting a strong opponent, but sometimes they actually meet runners up who are even stronger than themselves, just like this season, we can see if many the runner-up team that is even stronger than the group winners so that it has the potential to be very surprising later in the round of 16. I see this season maybe only the runners up and group G winners look a little weak and in fact the other groups have almost equal strength between the first and second positions. |

Honestly, I don't know what I can say in this thread, even though I can play chess, but I personally don't even follow the existing chess matches, because for me personally, playing chess is more fun than watching other people play, but I'm interested to see the match for the world chess champion between Nepomniachtchi and Carlsen, and I hope someone will share a streaming link to be able to watch the match, because in my place there is not a single local television broadcasting chess matches so far.

There is still a high competition in the Group C now while there are two games left to the end of the group games. There is only a three-point gap between the leader Napoli and the team at the last place which are Spartak Moscow. And exactly one week later, Spartak Moscow are going to be playing a home game against Napoli. Their previous game ended by the victory of S. Moscow by 3-2 away. But while there is a critical situation in the group, I don't expect Napoli to make a big mistake. I think they will take revenge on S. Moscow and get comfortable about their lead.
^ Yes, Napoli should win easily against Moscow. As Napoli is a far better team than Moscow in my opinion. And their performance proves it has they have done well in both UEFA league and Serie A. In UEFA League they are in the first part of the group and in Serie A they are also in the first place. The match between napoli and spartak is an important match for napoli to secure a ticket to the next round, as well as spartak which will certainly be a life and death match for them, currently spartak have 4 points and still have a chance to qualify for the next round if they can won the match, and I think Napoli, which has a better squad quality than Spartak, of course should not underestimate Spartak, because of course Spartak players have the high motivation to keep their chances of qualifying and they might surprise Napoli later. |

Marca newspaper published news that will go unnoticed and no one will care about it, and I wanted to pass it on to you out of knowledge.
“Gareth Bale will miss 3 weeks for a calf injury.” May God help Ancelotti on this shock.
The good thing for Madrid is that they are not relaying on Bale much thus season but still he can be lethal sometimes when he us fit.
Benzema alongside Vincious were good pair upfront this season and that is why the reason for Madrid are still on the league race.
I also really believe that Real Madrid can win the title this year, even though Real Madrid players are not young anymore, but their performance is still very fit, Luka Modrick is still playing very well in midfield, and Banzema is still a very good striker, with experience. what they have, I am very optimistic that Real Madrid will be able to win the Spanish La Liga title this year.. I do not deny that Madrid is a strong candidate for the title, but I see that three other teams such as Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla also have a great chance of becoming title contenders this season, and in my opinion even teams like Sevilla and Real Sociedad maybe it will surprise us this season as trophy winners, I see both teams playing very consistently in the last few La Liga matches, besides that I think now two big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in transition in their squad after being left by the coach and some of his flagship players earlier this season, and of course this has motivated other clubs such as real sociedad to be able to take advantage of the situation to be able to compete for trophies. |

I've heard something like Frank Lampard wants to come back to the Premier League as the coach of a team. And he is eyeing the position of Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers now seemingly. As we all know already, Leicester have been experiencing a tough time recently. Their poor performance caused them to be far away from top positions. If they keep having bad results, they will most probably sack B. Rodgers. And in that case, Lampard can take advantage of it I guess.
British Media over hyping English players and Coaches,how bad has Bredan Rodger's performance been for him to be replaced by Frank Lampard ? This are simply Speculations no doubts, Lampard should take a longer break,I feel this Job, he's speculations arises,is just too big for him. It's actually not that bad Leicester City are in 12th place and there are still many matches left, Brendan Rodger still deserves to be a coach unless at the end of the season Leicester's performance gets worse of course it's possible to be sacked. I also agree that Lampard has not been able to get a place in the EPL this season. Leiscester this season is actually very far from perfect, in fact they seem very difficult to be able to show a consistent game in every game this season, with only winning 4 games out of 11 games of course is not an achievement to be proud of by Brendan Rodgers, I think it should be leicester city provide an opportunity for Brendan Rodgers until the second half of the season and if indeed there is no improvement at all, of course it is appropriate for Leicester to find the right replacement for Brendan Rodgers. |

Considering the fact that both Argentina and Brazil are all but qualified, I expected a much more open game. I watched the game this morning while doing some stuff on my laptop and it was really uneventful - I barely got my eyes off the screen.
Some players were missing, OK, but the game was too physical - I understand the rivalry and competitiveness but in this case it went too far away. Both teams can be happy because they are still undefeated in the qualifiers though.
Since old time the match between argentina and brazil has always been interesting to watch, apart from being two big countries, of course the rivalry between brazil and argentina always gives a hot match full of high tension so far, this morning match in my opinion was quite tough, but unfortunately the game had to end 0-0 draw for both teams, although the match ended in a draw, but both have managed to lock the ticket to qualify for the 2022 world cup later through the Conmebol Zone. |

It looks like PSG will not give up the Ligue 1 trophy this season, PSG learned from their mistakes last season and failed to win the Ligue 1 trophy.
Now PSG's position at the top is quite safe with a difference of 10 points with Lens who is in second position. PSG only need to play consistently
until the end of the season, and they have started to show it in 13 matches in Ligue 1.
PSG current position at the top of the standings is quite safe with a distance of 10 points between PSG and Lens who are currently in second position, I think the distance of points is quite far so that Lens is very difficult to catch up, of course it does not rule out the possibility if PSG can champions before Ligue 1 competition end this season, I think with the current conditions, maybe it's better for PSG to focus on the target of winning their first champions league trophy this season. |
