It was interesting when I saw some news about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia linked to Barcelona. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a good performance so far when he was playing for Napoli especially in the last season when they won the Serie A title he was even close to joining teams like Real Madrid.

Regarding this news, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia said he is waiting for an offer from Real Madrid and he said he would like to play for this team one day. But Real Madrid didn't send any offer for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and that's why he was disappointed about Real Madrid.
Since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia wants to play in bigger teams, now it seems he is waiting for an offer from Real Madrid, he said now he wants to play for Barcelona and he likes this team.

Honestly they did not play him like 100 minutes all season long, I get that there were some injuries and such, but we need to remember that kid has been healthy for many many months, and they still do not play him, and not like he is some unknown player, he is at the bench every single game, he watches the games every single time, and they still do not play him.

This is why it is quite important to realize that Arda would have a better time if he would be loaned out to some other team where he can get minutes. Obviously it would be great if he could be loaned to a team that can win a lot of games, a player can't look good if the whole team is terrible, so it is better if he is loaned to a team that is great at their league, so he would play with other good players.

I also did not think that Barcelona is actually going to let him go. Because I am pretty sure that if Barcelona actually let him go, Barcelona will not be able to bring in a coach who will actually be better compared to him. Barcelona might not even find a good coach to be honest just because of the financial situation that they are in right now. so this does not surprise me.

It was pretty much expected in my opinion. And I think Barcelona cannot expect too much from any coach at this moment. Because they have not been spending money like other clubs. If you do not spend money you are not going to bring in good players and also not going to have good results as well. Barcelona just has to understand that Money is very important in football right now. Xavi is doing good enough in my personal opinion. But opinions may be different.

So, Ruben Amorim and De Zerbi are no longer on Liverpool's radar? I think Liverpool is also doing the right job if they succeed in bringing in coach Arne Slot from Feyenoord. We know that his success in bringing Feyenoord to win the Eredivise last season is also strong proof that he is capable enough to handle Liverpool after Kloop left him and this season Arne Slot also won another title, namely the Dutch Cup.

Even though this season he couldn't bring Feyenoord to win the Eredivise again with Feyenoord, at least he could still bring Feyenoord to the top of the standings. Surely he has had enough of his career in the Netherlands and when there is a better offer to manage one of the big teams in the EPL then he will not waste this opportunity. It is reported that Arne Slot also really wants to become Liverpool coach and we are just waiting for further confirmation that his name will be announced at the end of the season.

If there was no drama, maybe football wouldn't look interesting, friend , in fact, the drama between Laporta and Xavi made football interesting between the coach and the Barca president. Xavi is trying to shorten this drama by making a wise decision and announcing it to everyone involved in staying at Barcelona and hopefully there will be no more changes that will make Xavi unstable enough to make another surprising decision like at the start of January this season.

This is good news for Barca and its players who feel suited to Xavi's coaching system so far and they are also quite devastated by Xavi's decision to suddenly want to leave Barca before his contract expires even though previously Barca felt fine but Xavi looked a little depressed with the setback that Barca experienced, but because Xavi was able to overcome Barca's performance which had experienced a setback, it was appropriate for Xavi to change his mind.

I actually suspect that Xavi decision to leave was just an alibi for his position at Barcelona, which made Laporta have to persuade him to stay at Barcelona. Because it's quite ridiculous that Xavi himself said everything was finished with Barcelona and his decision was final. But it all became nonsense towards the end of the season, or indeed Xavi felt that no other team had any intention of making him coach. Regardless of Xavi decision changing, I don't want to see him act in front of fans who from the start thought he would leave at the end of the season.

De Jong goes to United and this is already confirmed by de jong itself. He finally opened the door to depart from Barcelona. I'm glad de Jong knew his position in Barcelona, even if Xavi doesn't need him anymore. Xavi prefers to use Sergi Roberto instead. United's dream of recruiting a Barcelona player is finally coming true.
De jong may be realizing the truth about himself if the club is willing to sell him even after last season. Glad to see that United is still interested in recruiting him as a new player. I really appreciate what United did to buy De Jong during the summer transfer season.
The only issue is whether United should buy an injury-prone player like him.

De jong once again gets another injury which was forcing him to stay away from the bench. I can't really sure if this is a good transfer for united even though he was coming from barcelona but the story may be pretty much the same like what happened with ansu fati.
Fati was very often in getting injury and it has ruined his carer as a football players. Im expect the same story like that.

So is Xavi staying in Barcelona? Previously, he said that he was ready to stay only if Barcelona were active in the transfer market in the summer, he even discussed a list of players that Xavi would like to acquire. Well, apparently Xavi managed to come to an agreement with Laporta, since he changed his mind regarding the dismissal. The players also asked Xavi to stay in the team, so everyone should be happy with his decision.

Does Newcastle really want to sack Howe? He previous achieved good results in the Premier League, but due to a large number of injuries, Newcastle was unable to show anything satisfactory this season. They were also very good in the Champions League at the beginning.

After Liverpool approached several coaches and failed to get him so that in the end Arne slot became an option for Liverpool to replace Klopp next season, everyone of course has their own opinion in judging who is the coach who is willing to coach Liverpool, just like Carragher who continues to praise Tuchel for a long time, I think we deserve to respect Carragher Carragher's desire to see Tuchel at Liverpool next season but I think he is currently It only looks at Tuchel's past achievements but turns a blind eye to what is happening to Chelsea and Munich today.

Honestly I personally see if Arne Slot is more worthy than Tuchel to coach Liverpool, because if we look at the style of play Feyenoord and Liverpool can be said to be almost similar, so I think Arne Klopp will certainly be able to adapt more easily at Liverpool later, handling a big team and full of glory so far is certainly not easy but I think it is worth trying and obviously it will be an improvement in Arne Slot's coaching career If later in really will coach Liverpool.

No, I didn't miss that news. I have read and said that coach Xavi's choice to continue to stay in Barcelona was a mistake. Xavi forgot all the pain and pressure that Barcelona caused him. I'm afraid that pain will continue next season when Barcelona's situation is not optimistic. I'm sad for a talent like him, and I'm afraid Barcelona will ruin Xavi's life as a coach. He is both a good player and a talented coach. But his love for Barcelona trumped his wisdom. Let's take a look at the legendary coaches. The first thing to invite them to coach that team, of course, is to give him a considerable amount of money to spend on player purchases. Being a good coach, of course, requires having ace players in hand.

MU's opportunity to get Xavi is not yet over. Or recruit him and give him some money to buy players. It's just as simple as that. Let the talented Xavi take care of everything else.

Another drama with Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez after announcing will leave his position at the end this season then withdrew his decision and keep staying one season later. He talk to media about still have many project should be continues with Barcelona and seems he has chance with promoting many youth players to senior teams and management support with his ideas for staying one years later.

Seems his drama have been expectation before because Barcelona not get rumor for signing new manager after Xavi Hernandez had official announcement leave Barcelona last several weeks ago. Keep calm and know what the ended of drama between Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez exactly will stay one year later as Barcelona manager, will he can gives good performing for next season after failure in this season and Barcelona without any tittle yet?

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher said that Liverpool would be better off having Thomas Tuchel as a replacement for Jurgen Klopp than Arne Slot, but his statement was normal because Carragher is a fan of Tuchel. Jamie Carragher believes Thomas Tuchel would be the perfect man to succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager
However, I am not sure that both of them can make Liverpool remain a strong team or even better.
For Arne Slot, being able to become a coach at Liverpool is certainly a better career step and the contract offered by Liverpool is certainly not a problem for him, which is why it is reported that he immediately accepted the offer from this English club. Slot said he was quite sure that his talks with this club would come true, so we are just waiting for the club's official announcement.

Well, the chance for MU to qualify for the Champions League is very slim. And, of course, it can't be done. I don't know what Sir Jim Ratcliffe is planning. Even if you save some money from Erik ten Hag's salary cut, it will have no effect. Then, the following season, the team continued to fluctuate even worse. The question is, does Sir Jim Ratcliffe want the team to regain form or save wages? How silly.

I know Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not yet made a final decision on Erik Ten Hag's future. Now, the British billionaire must decide whether Ten Hag is worthy of driving MU. After what happened at Wembley, he certainly has his answer. Sir Jim Ratcliffe needs to clean up MU immediately if he wants MU to return to its glory days. Don't try to save or put pressure on someone incapable of leading MU to glory.

Actually, in football I really do think that everything is possible, nothing is impossible in football, but if you look at it logically, it will be very difficult for something like that to happen, because it's more likely for Manchester united to lose more points than Aston villa losing any point, so to me, finishing in an uefa Europa league spot is more ideal, unlike finishing in the top four with just 5 matches remaining, but if it was like 10 matches remaining, it would have been a bit possible.

And as for Eric ten hang, I think he will be replaced by someone more capable by the end of the season, because I haven't seen much improvement Manchester united have made since he was hired as the manager of Manchester united, I just feels like his fate has already been decided by the club, that's why they now gave him a lifeline of finishing in the top four, which is very much unlikely at this particular stage of the season.

Peter Bosz has also been doing an incredible work in the Eredivisie this season by completely dominating the league. There isn't a big success difference between him and Arne Slot at the moment so I wonder why he wasn't also approached.    Maybe they found Arne Slot's style better in general I don't know but I hope that he can be a good choice for Liverpool.

I mean I wouldn't like to see him ending up with Erik ten Hag in the Premier League. Erik ten Hag is actually a good manager when we think what he did at Ajax. However he can't do what he is in his mind exactly at Manchester United due to various reasons. Let's see whether there will be a long adaptation process for Arne Slot here. 

Lol.

Ratcliffe has no empathy to Ten Hag, how can he force Ten Hag must brought Manchester United to enter Champions League when the chance didn't even reach 1%?

Currently Manchester United has 53 points, they need to overtake Aston Villa positions that currently has 66 points, technically Manchester United must win all the rest matches and Aston Villa must lose all the matches. How it's even possible?

The rumors that were spread previously are not a certainty, there is always drama in them. The agreement between Barcelona and Xavi meant that Newcastle had to look for another coach because the door to bringing him in was closed. Even though they were unable to win a single title this season, Barcelona was very satisfied with Xavi work towards the end of the season. There will be changes in the Barcelona squad after several of Xavi's requests were approved by the club. Several new players are being targeted to strengthen the squad next season.

Manchester United is now putting pressure on Ten Hag since ten hag is totally failed this season to bring united qualify for the UCL next season. latest reports indicating that Ten Hag may be receiving 1/4 of his current salary as compensation for the club after failing to help Manchester United win the UCL spot this season. If ten hag will decide to stay for another season in manchester united. It must be hos consequence after failed to deliver good result by coaching united. it must be a big blow since him whether he will stay or leave from the club. Im strongly believe ten hag may be leaving from the club consider 25% paycut is considerable a lot for a coach like him.
The remaining matches will not be enough to help United compete with other clubs, such as Villa caused by the gap is too big, to compete for UCL spots with villa. United's performance is also very inconsistent right now. It is constantly going up and down dramatically.
It means Ten Hag's future is uncertain, as there have been many rumors that United was looking for a new coach to replace him. This is a very difficult situation for Manchester United.

I think this is gonna be a long term drama between ten hag and united since he is now facing difficult situation caused by his club was not even able to qualify for the europa league. It's a shameful result for a club that has paid hundreds millions to buy the new players at the last summer transfer season.
I personally hope him to leave from the club rather than stay for another season. I saw him as a main factor that was making united denying. Im so sick of him.

so, from here we have to realize that since Ten Hag took over as Man United coach, what problems have occurred.
I mean Ten Hag always pressures the players to use strategies that don't make sense for a player and for me Ten Hag is a stubborn coach and with his attitude like that, makes some players don't like the way Ten Hag gives training and in the end Sancho had to leave Man United while Sancho also has good talent to strengthen Man United appearance.
In the past there was also a dispute between Ten Hag and Ronaldo and in the end Ronaldo had to leave Man United, whereas currently Ronaldo is really providing very good encouragement for the Red Devils.

even though Ten Hag had to be fired, actually expecting Xavi to join Man United is impossible and maybe you missed the important news that Xavi will officially stay for another season with Barcelona.

Xavi has confirmed whether he will sign a new contract with Barcelona. The better for him to end his drama in this way, with no more wild speculation about his future. Xavi's pathetic drama is almost over. He will not leave, and the other club that has been targeting him must find an alternative way to recruit him.
Newcastle, in particular, was interested in recruiting him as a new appointment. The latest announcement from Barcelona confirms that Newcastle will not sign him. Both Laporta and Xavi are full of drama.
