Angel Di Maria was indeed extraordinary player, he made his mark in every club he moved into. He was a fantastic teammate and was fun to play with. Amongst the list of clubs mentioned, he had the worst stay with Manchester United which must have made him regret over his movements to Manchester United.
He achieved lots in the other clubs still. With Argentina, he has also won both the biggest and smallest of them all.

For Zidane, He sis not so focused on the National Team, the current management, has appointment for the next two years, eyes should be focused on getting a club management. Still certain that would be speculations.

After all the success with Barcelona, Folks still wants Lionel Messi back at Barcelona? It's good to see his decisions heading forward.

Angel Di Marria is such an outstanding player that his presence is important for Argentina national team but it seems he's aged and not competent enough to record good games. It's decision to retire from the national team because the competitive race there is very high, alot of young players are coming up and having best time playing football on the pitch, while Di Marria have other priorities to reach in his professional football. He plays for Benfica and he's there to give his very best performance because that's the only way to level up and maintain his position in the starting line-up in the team.

Actually, I simply do not believe that at this age and at this situation Messi is going to join Barcelona. Because you know he has achieved almost everything he could in football life. So, joining the Barcelona team now only indicates that he still wants to perform and that he has something more to achieve. he has played for a long time for Barcelona and achieved almost everything. That is why his going to Barcelona right now, does not make sense. It is just a rumour in my opinion as well.

It is reported that after the Copa America competition has ended, Angel Di Maria will announce his retirement. But it seems that he will only retire from the Argentina national team and he will remain focused until his contract ends with Benfica. Angel Di Maria's journey in Europe was certainly extraordinary, he even played for big teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG and Juventus before he finally returned to his old team, namely Benfica at this time. Angel Di Maria is one of the best wingers ever and with Argentina last year winning the world cup trophy made him enough to achieve everything in football.

Well, I think it is going to be a good job for Manchester City if they bring him in. Actually, I also believe that he would be able to perform better in Manchester City. You know, Manchester United is not in the best of form right now. That's why, bringing in new players might be a bad thing for the club. Because you know if the new player somehow does not able to make score, it is going to be a big problem for his career.

However on the other hand, if Manchester City manages to give him enough chances he might be able to make an expected score.

Well the good thing is that he remained loyal to the club and decided not to accept the offer from the Saudi Pro League regardless of the huge financial benefits he stood to gain if he had considered Leaving Liverpool, he's an important player for the team and got a major role to play concerning their success this season and so far his performance has been good, I think Klopp especially would be very happy to still have him in the team and he's going to help them achieve the top four spot this season.

 Well if Salah decides to leave next summer I believe Liverpool are going to cash in massively on him and that would be enough to invest I'm other areas of the squad depth and the player they've listed as an option (Leroy  Sane) would make a fine replacement for Salah the good thing is that he's had an experience in the EPL with City, so adapting to Liverpool won't be very tough for him.

Liverpool are not very confident in Salah staying.
Knowing that Saudi Arabia still has an interest in the player, the team is evaluating the best options in the bid market to keep its offensive sector strong.

In other words... no matter how good the scenario is, Liverpool is planning alternatives for Mohamed Salah's possible departure, should that occur. One of these options is striker Leroy Sané, from Bayern Munich. He is also left-footed, like Salah, and could fit very well into Jürgen Klopp's scheme. In the current season, Sané played 11 matches for Thomas Tuchel's team and scored seven goals for the German club.

Be very careful about which player they give importance to. Because that is going to be a very important decision for them going forward in the future. I think Arsenal should not have a favourite right now at this point. Of course, they should give the player who is performing well more matches. But they should not have a clear preference right now, in my opinion.

Goalkeepers are very important for any club. Creating problems in that position can cause a lot of problems. Just like what we are watching with Manchester United right now. I am sure that they do not want to face those kinds of problems.

Maybe Mane could have still be important for Liverpool although I think he has experienced a significant decline in his performances. I know that he is now scoring for Al-Nassr again, but I have no idea what that means and whether he would still be able to compete in the Premier League. He left Liverpool in a bad moment because it was a time when Liverpool's offense was one of the best in the league, but he decided to leave and the rest is history. I would not take him back now as Liverpool does have strong strikers who are also younger and have better speed than Mane. Salah also isn't the youngest anymore. I think that Liverpool will also soon face some big changes and they will need a player with a very high level of club identification again. That is what Salah stands for. The first player people think about when they hear the name Liverpool is Salah.

Barcelona is not even willing to deal with him again. We must be moving forward as there are many better things rather than think he will go back again to the barcelona. The young players saw him as a threat instead of motivational person who can push the club to be better again.
The reality has proven that if intermiami still nothing after recruiting him. Messi better to join in the saudi pro league instead of continue his career in the intermiami. There will be no chance when the club was play with him.
Look at how garbage intermiami is with messi. Nothing chance only the name if intermiami gets more publication due to the messi but this is not helping the club a lot to be qualified for the play off.

His era already gone and this is why picking SPL is best for him right now. Barcelona was not able to give him good salary. Does he will accept it?
Messi's salary is quite big. That's why he shall go to the saudi pro league.

It is going to be extremely difficult for Arteta to balance the situation between the two goalkeepers, both of them want to number one and it is not possible, Ramsdale would have to make do with second spot and play in only cup games, he'd definitely not be happy with his current situation and if it continues i'd not be surprised if Ramsdale pushes for an exit in January. It's not possible to keep two great keepers in the same team for a long time.

I think i get why Arteta prefers Raya to Ramsdale, he is better with the ball and he picks his passes better, this loan deal will most possibly turn into a permanent deal and he will be Arsenal's number one.

Zidane future is still a matter of speculation until now because he received many offers to coach big teams in the previous season but none of the teams were able to persuade him to handle their team. I think maybe Real Madrid will have a big chance to get back together with Zidane after Ancelotti contract ends with Real Madrid. Zidane has quite an impressive experience with Real Madrid and maybe he will repeat it if he becomes Real Madrid coach next season.

In fact, many big teams from the Premier League and Ligue 1 are interested in using Zidane services. But still, Zidane currently prefers not to coach any team. Well, it could be that next season he will change his mind and return to coaching a team and it could be the Real Madrid team. Xabi Alonso also quite a good performance with Leverkusen, but Xabi Alonso career as a coach is still too little experience and he does not have long experience managing a team in the Champions League.

Zidane will definitely be on Madrid radar to coach them, he is always the first person Perez looks at in any time of crisis and this time he will be certainly right at the top of that list. But personally I don’t think it is a good move for either of them both. First for Zidane it should worry him that not all second returns ends up well not to talk of a third one. Should he come and it didn’t play as planned then his legacy at the club might be dented just like Jose Mourinho’s legacy at Chelsea. Also on Madrid side they shouldn’t be hiring a manger that can’t do a fourth season with them, at every point Zidane usually leaves when the must have gel and takes Madrid back into searching again. This Kind of manager can not help in the future of the team because every four years he leaves.
Zidane big admiration has Lean towards leading his country’s nation team and with the news around him and the current FFF president it doesn’t look like he would replace Deschamp anytime soon.

My biggest prediction is that Xabi Alonso will give the team more dynamics and with him currently in charge of Bayern Leverkusen, because at there he has shown great potential to be a coach that can manage any situation well

I thought it is quite the opposite because Zidane is a free agent. He has no obligations and Deschamps' contract has been extended clearly with the idea to have him as the national coach until after the World Cup 2026. Zidane prefers shorter stays I would say and this would perfectly fit his interests if I am not wrong. He takes the team from Ancelotti who obviously hands over a great team and Zidane could give it two years to win titles until he would be in talks with French officials about coaching the national team. In my opinion this could become true again.

Zinédine Zidane is still very good for Real Madrid if he parts ways with Ancelotti at the end of the season. Zinédine Zidane has made a golden history with Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League, but do you believe Real Madrid will call him back after parting ways twice?

I like how Zinédine Zidane coached Real Madrid, but I don't think Real Madrid should bring him back just because he has a good history with the club. Other coaches could certainly be considered, including Xabi Alonso or several other coaches. Zidane is certainly better, but I'm sure he won't be back any time soon.


Xavi and Zidane are two coaches who handle different teams and also with different squad depths. Zidane did it with Real Madrid when the team really had good squad depth, but Xavi won two titles with a team that was in dire financial troubles.

In terms of reputation and achievements, I admit Zidane is better. But in terms of building a better squad, then I have to say Xavi has proven that to everyone in the last two seasons. Barcelona improved with him, but the squad depth did not match that of other teams that could afford high-value players.

It would be nice to recall Zidane back to coach the club based on his previous performance for the team, i don't know if Madrid have included him yet as one of the options to replace Ancelotti but it would be nice to have him back cause he'll still make a difference in the team, however I don't think Zidane might be interested in coming back to coach his former team again cause he might be focused on wanting to coach the France national team, well theirs a speculation that he might be the next coach for Olympic Marseille however I feel it would be nice to see how another coach would perform at Realmadrid and Xabi Alonso is not also a bad option based on his performance at Leverkusen currently.

 Well Xavi has done a great job for Barcelona since his arrival but I think he's not yet up to the standards of Zidane, he's only achieved the league trophy but Zidane made his mark as one of the most decorated coaches in Madrid and Laliga he won about 11 trophies including 3 champions league trophy during his time as the manager of Realmadrid.

Marcel Desailly has reason to assume why he feels that Kylian Mbappe will not strive at Manchester City. His point was that Manchester City has so much discipline. Pep Guardiola expects players to follow their roles and there is no freedom for players like Mbappe to express their skills. The French defender thinks that Mbappe doesn't need a team and that he will not be put in a box. He gave an example of Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish who had the ability to play number ten but are now limited to a position due to Pep's style of play.

For me, I think Mbappe has a vacant position in Real Madrid but there is none available in Manchester City. He would have to fight for a permanent position in City. I also think that Mbappe is a player that needs so much attention. And he might not get that in City but Real Madrid can give him that special treatment. I am also foreseeing a personality clash between Mbappe and Haaland as we saw between the Frenchman and Neymar.     

Well, I have no doubt nor can I refute anything you say because everything is true, for me ZIdane is also the best coach after Ancelotti, and Xabi Alonso is also good, but I think he is doing better at Leverkusen, and well, no. He should still come, I also prefer Zidane to come, but what I don't like about Zidane is that if he makes it a condition that Mbappé goes to Madrid, because for me Mbappé considers that his time has passed, and this is the only thing which doesn't fit me, I hope that Florentino Pérez prevails, because for me it is better that Bellingham does it and not him, Zidane, because he is French, will want to take him, simply because he is his compatriot, but it is the wrong thing to do That wouldn't fit me, of course I'm speculating what I wouldn't like about him, but there are many probabldias for it to be that way.

Now when we talk about Real Madrid and everything that Zidane changed for them, it was something spectacular, they returned an ultra-champion team, and for Barcelona fans, I'm sorry to say it, but Xavi doesn't even reach Zidane's ankles , nor as a soccer player, because Zidane was a high level, so in this order of ideas, I trust much more that Zidane can do a great job so that he can make Maderid champion of the League, and champion of the UCL, I have no doubt about that, and that Xavi has it, because I think they gave him an ultimatum, and apparently if he doesn't have good results then they just bounce, and I think he can't escape just the league, he has to win good competitions, UCL , others that are more important, then this gets good, this season is where both Anvcelotti and his players have to be champions, this will leave a big burden on Zida or Xabi, to have a good performance in the next season, then this type of These are things that can excite all Madrid fans, playing with a player like Bellingham who has broken all expectations can be much better.

I love Raya,but I don't know why I'm so passionate about Ramsdale,maybe it's because of some incredible and unbelievable saves he made last season that's actually making me prefer him over Raya.I know the both are two goalkeepers that are very good,but when it comes to saves,I totally believe Ramsdale is more better than him.I know Raya has been very good in the few games he has played so far this season,and have kept more clean sheets than Ramsdale this season,but the passion Ramsdale has towards football and when Arsenal win a game  is something special.If I were Arteta,I would rotate them,I will use one for premier league,and the other for Champions league and other cups,than keeping Ramsdale on bench and not playing him atall.

Mbappé is a very talented player,a world class player for that matter and I think he won't find it difficult to adapt in any league he goes to so far it's a big club in any of the league, his presence would make a big difference, if Mbappé happens to join Madrid he'll make them even more stronger, currently they're on of the strongest team in Europe then you could imagine how tough they'll be to play against when if he joins City, it would be very interesting to watch a team that has Haaland and Mbappé playing together, they'll be awesome together.

 Well I don't think Mbappé is the problem at PSG if you noticed they're not really performing well currently but his performance I the team is good and he's even the highest goal scorer for the club currently, well I feel his days at PSG is gradually coming to an end cause the club is not suitable for him, he'll need to move to a club with a good experience in the Champions league and has coach that would manage him well, build a better relationship amongst him and his teammates and help him perform at his best for the club.
