Real Madrid lost their first pre-season match against Inter with a very narrow score (1-0). However, this is not surprising because in that match Real Madrid did not field many of its main players, but only fielded the majority of its second tier players. Even though Modric played in that match, he was not strong enough to bring Real Madrid to win the match. Because Modric is now old, his performance is not as good as before. Apart from that, if you look at the squad that Milan fielded in this match, you can see that many of Milan's main players were also involved in the match. So it is natural that Milan won this match, because the players they fielded were also far superior to the players fielded by Real Madrid. Actually, Milan should be able to score more than one goal in this match, but it seems that Real Madrid's second tier players are making things quite difficult for Milan.

I did see both teams field their main players with the same capacity, but everything went seriously and AC Milan managed to win this match, yes even though this was just a friendly match AC Milan looked very solid in the pre-season and of course Real Madrid was not so serious in the friendly match because they would be dangerous in the official match, but talking about the match earlier Milan was actually stronger even though Madrid also played Courtois Rudiger and many other names, but they still did not play well enough and in my opinion Madrid deserved to lose in this match.

I thought in this match they would field Mbappe but in fact they didn't, and if only Mbappe played I think the victory would be on Madrid's side because Ancelotti did not field his senior players in the attack line they only played Endrick up front and in fact he was not good there, and in this match Madrid also gave a chance to their new players and Guler how is he doing this season will he be loaned I think that is Ancelotti's main goal in this match, because basically this friendly match is to find young talent not to prioritize victory, yes especially Real Madrid they will not be serious if it is not a match to compete for the championship title.

I think Nico Williams has officially become a Barcelona player. Because there are many rumored images circulating on the internet. It turns out that I was wrong, Nico Williams still seems to be in doubt. There is news that Nico Williams still wants to be with the Atlhetic Club for one more year. Reportedly, Barcelona has also given a warning for him, if he is not willing, Barcelona will not proceed with his purchase again. I don't understand if this is Barcelona's business strategy or indeed he will still stay at the Athletic club.  

Nico Williams is acting in a great class whereas he stays at Athletic Club. Though he could be playing anywhere, this child has skill and is choosing to stay where he is comfortable, where he is growing. In this sport, we really need more of that kind of loyalty and concentration. Barcelona says they wont be interested next year; thats simply tough talk. They're trying to pressure the kid, but Nico's not playing that game. A winner makes decisions; he is doing so now.

This tells all the young players out there not to hurry things, to take their time, to grow their abilities. And to the major teams: you cannot harass athletes today. The game is evolving, and its about time players began dictating the moves.

I had doubts that Nicole Williams will just jump to Barcelona without thinking twice of the club Bilbao that notured and brought him to the lime light, that would have been too harsh. Barcelona cannot threaten Nicole Williams of not signing him next season if he refuses to come to Barca because he still has a club that cares for him and he is loyal to them.

However, Nicole has his elder brother in Bilbao Nyaki Williams who will always advice him to the right thing to do, and I believe that his elder brother will be the reason why he still wants to play in Bilbao for one more season before leaving. Blood is thicker than water.

If Barcelona had issued such warning to the upcoming star to sign a deal, Well they've got it all wrong, it's in the interest of every individual player moving elsewhere be allowed to make choice of club, and if I'm Nico Williams in this case, I will have done same thing rejecting the offer, even if Barcelona is that desperate to sign him, whereas he wants to spend one more season, it should have been approached amicably.

Furthermore, yes Nicole William's brother Nyaki may have influenced his decision to remain with Bilbao, but I doubt if that would be enough reason for him to stay back if the young player has a dream of moving to play for Barcelona this season, I see the whole thing that Nicole Williams hasn't made up his mind to leave.

While these are friendly matches, the coaches will give all the players a chance to play, they will not have much time to show themselves, but in any case, this is their chance. True, Ancelotti used a very strong lineup in this match, although Real has such a strong bench that it is difficult to say that there are weaker players there, but Milan managed to win and this is in any case a plus for Fonseca. I think that Milan with Fonseca has a chance to fight with Inter for the Scudetto.

In essence, Barcelona and Man City in yesterday's match were not serious matches for both teams who wanted to try to play some second-tier players or even young players who would be considered if their performance was very competitive. Like some teams that appeared in this friendly match always used the young players they had and when there was one young player who had good talent, later it would be seen and developed by the coach to be made a second-tier player.

Barcelona, who currently still needs a lot of quality players, will certainly always try the young players they have to get players like Lamine Yamal who can be a wonderkid.

Pre-season games are an opportunity for coaches to review players who have not been able to show their best performance after the end of the previous season. Coaches can decide whether the player is still worth keeping or releasing him to another club and immediately looking for a new player. Players who have rarely had playing time or young players from the academy who are included in the pre-season tour will use this opportunity to show the coach that they have what it takes to compete or take a position with the senior players who have been playing regularly in the first team.

Pre-season matches can also be used to benefit clubs, young players or players who have not had enough playing time can improve their talents and become valuable core players. Clubs can make money from pre-season matches because players who previously had low market value can turn into valuable players due to their improved performance after being trusted to play in pre-season matches. So it is not surprising that in every friendly match the coaches always play players from the academy or players who do not get enough playing time. Apart from being able to benefit the club, the coach can also determine which players are included in his plans or sell them and replace them with new players.

Don't take these games serious because it's pre-season. For a second, I don't even pick interest to watch them because the coaches are just using their second best XI for the purpose to selects their players. Barcelona and Manchester City will have in mind to continue searching for potentials in other young players because they're the ones that will serve as backup replacement for the key players when they probably get injured.

I also quite agree with what you said because in preseason games every coach does prioritize the young players in the second tier to see the real potential of the players so that they can put them in a more suitable position when the real season starts. But I am also a little surprised by the fans who take this preseason game seriously so that they start to get a little worried when they see their favorite team lose, even though it's just an ordinary game that will not have a big impact on the strength of the team in the real season later.

Only some of the main players appeared in the match and the rest were just young players who were part of the reserve players or second-string players.
I think there is no need to worry about Real Madrid's defeat because we know this is just a trial match and Ancelotti does not need to bother sacrificing Mbappe just for the sake of a pre-season match.
I appreciate the performance of Real Madrid and AC Milan which took place very tightly.



Today there is a friendly match that makes me tempted and try to avoid multi bets for a while.
It doesn't mean that I don't trust Bilbao but I am tempted by the odds that SD Eibar has and this club can usually give a strong fight to Bilbao.

Reportedly, Barcelona has also given a warning for him, if he is not willing, Barcelona will not proceed with his purchase again. I don't understand if this is Barcelona's business strategy or indeed he will still stay at the Athletic club. 

This is a really serious form of ultimatum from Barcelona, ​​which could make Nico Williams constantly think about an offer from Barcelona. The transfer market in La Liga is still open until early September, I think we'll still see drama in this transfer saga. Nico's performance at the EURO was really good, what's more, he was a player who could partner with Lamine Yamal at that time, so that's probably what made Barcelona continue to pursue Nico Williams contract.

I've been hearing rumors of Nico Williams signing for PSG for a while now but there's another possibility that Barcelona are considering a move for the player. Big clubs are talking about this player mainly because of his impressive performance in the Euro tournament. The age of Nico Williams is very young and Barcelona already has Lamine Yamal, so if Nico Williams can be brought to the Barcelona team, then Barcelona can make a good eleven with these two young players.

We have seen a good relationship between Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams on the field so these two players will definitely do well at the club as the understanding between these two is much like Neymar and Messi. 

If Nico Williams is interested in coming to Barcelona then Barcelona should bring him to Barcelona and strengthen their squad.

Not to take it seriously but the defeat when Real Madrid played with their young players identified that their young players were not ready to continue Real Madrid's good performance without any combination with the senior players in the Real Madrid squad. Carlo Ancelotti did use this pre-season match to give a lot of time to the young players in the squad and Carlo is indeed preparing this team for the future with the potential young players available, of course this defeat had no impact whatsoever.
