This your confidence on Real Madrid and Ancelotti is too much, you are taking it too fast because you are already saying that they will win the Champions League this season. Remember that they will be playing against Manchester City in the quarterfinal, if they are able to eliminate Manchester City, then you can have a loud voice to say all these because the chances is still 50/50 since Manchester City is the defending Champions and they eliminated Madrid last season; we can’t conclude yet even though we know the experience Madrid had when it comes to Champions League football.

The transfer case of Mudryk to Chelsea has thought Arsenal a good lesson.
Instead of buying a player from another League and wait for him to adapt to the Premier League style of play for months, you should rather buy a Premier League player that already have experience; Trossard and Declan Rice has been a very good signing for Arteta that is why he is making emphasis on Ivan Toney and some Premier League strikers to add more pressure power in the attacking zone.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are the two teams he has been linked to the most because of his past achievements as a player in those clubs. And seeing how in need of a new coach they are, he could consider them and join any of them after leaving Bayern Leverkusen.

Real Madrid have a great squad line up now and any coach that gets to manage this squad well will win more big m records to their names and their achievements will be much in a short time. The repetition of the Champions Legaue Trophy three times in a row can be replicated by Real Madrid again with this kind of squad they’ve put together.

Arteta is a good manager in every way. He is both a coach and a recruiter for his team.  Arteta was spotted last week at the Real Madrid U18 - Atletico Madrid U18 match. I think he is looking for more players for Arsenal in this match. I can see how eager he is. If Arteta is there for Arsenal, he could be laying the groundwork for a squad that will be talked about for many years to come. I don't think there is anyone better than Arteta for Arsenal at the moment. If Arsenal become premier league champions after 20 years, Arteta will be on a different level.

Carlo Ancelotti always did a great job. It is not impossible to bring UCL trophy for this season. Ancelotti still has the chance although it seems a bit difficult because they are facing Man City in the current round of UCL. What to have the big chance is to win La Liga trophy, Real Madrid seems to have no competitor anymore. Barcelona isn't likely to overtake Real Madrid in the top of the table. Barcelona has a bad season, they failed to dominate La Liga again.

However, Ancelotti seems to have 2-3 years contract duration only. After the next 2-3 years, we may see Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid. We already heard that Zidane or Xabi Alonso will be the successor of Ancelotti in Real Madrid.

Remember that even the first time, he did a similar thing, so his return can never be ruled out. After all, Real Madrid is sometimes open to the return of some of their legendary coaches. Let's not forget that it is also Carlo Ancelotti's second spell at the Bernabéu.

At one point he will leave though, probably not in the next couple of seasons, but how knows how the future unfolds.

Their eagerness to win a title may not still be enough. From the position the club is currently, they can either win the two titles in the competitions they are in, which are the premier league and the Champions league, or win the premier league that they are topping, or loose both competitions and end up winning nothing again this season. Arsenal has really gone too long without any major trophy to celebrate; they need to try to win one soon to correct the opinion of other people of them as the club that always disappoints.

When looking at Leicester's actual condition since they won until they were relegated they were always fine because they always had the status of a dark horse club in the EPL but their problem was the financial condition which was very disturbing especially when Covid attacked and the peak last season when Brendan Rodgers could not do what he planned when he wanted to sell some players he did not need in future plans and could not buy new players to support his plans which made Leicester run out of steam and actually plunged into the relegation zone in just one season.
In the end, in this case we see something where finances are important so that every club that is really serious about maintaining their condition and performance must realize that finances are necessary to support their future stability.

Leicester sold some of their best players after winning the premier league back then and it was more for money and the thoughts of, retraining others to replace those sold and rebuilding from there, hence why they never stand a chance till date.
The best move has always been to buy top performance players from same league or from one that plays similar style of football, not to buy from a different league and hope the player catches on fast and delivers on the pitch.

For wenger then, he believes in training players and nurturing them until they are great and then sells them. His ideology was more of a  manager and business man as compared to the ideals of Mikel Arteta who is more of a coach than a manager. He understands that what it means to buy young, hungry and talented players like he did when he got Rice, and Martinelli and well it was a good coaching decision which has helped his career excel so far.

What I mean is maintaining only the previous squad without signing new players, those teams you mentioned though retained their previous players but you can't tell me that they didn't make any signing within those years so that's actually what am talking about. Okay for example, Leicester city, after they won the premier and still maintain same players without adding much signing instead went ahead to sell some of their players what happened to them? Where they active again as compared to when they won the league? Obviously not!

Arsenal's fate is still swinging yet as their possibility of winning either the league title or the Champions league isn't certain yet but I can assure you that these boys are eager for a title this season that was why they flopped and at a time they picked form again so it wouldn't be a surprise if they take home a trophy this season.

Barcelona need to sell players because many of Barcelona's players are getting old, they need fresh young stars in the team. the number one player I would like Xavi to sell is Lewandowski they should get young strikers in the team sometimes Lewandowski is playing weak games in the game, he just perform very well in the first season when he comes to the club new and gets the opportunity to win the league and get the golden boot if Barcelona mistakenly sells Araujo, I don't think Barcelona will get better defense like Him for now. Without Araujo in a match, you will notice the defense linking and making them drawing matches, and is Araujo that is giving Vin Jr pressure when playing El Classico.  Barcelona should plans to sell a striker and some midfielders to raise finances for new players next season, as they are unable to win trophies with current squad and must add stronger players to the club in order to compete for trophies. Since Xavi is going at the end of the season, who will be a suitable coach to help Barcelona return to their former performance.

Maybe it won't prove everything because you can always have a bad season. Klopp had a relatively bad season with his club as well. That's why I think that a serious, substantial judgment about Alonso can only be made in maybe five years from now. But for now he is of course doing extraordinarily well and the manner in which he dominates the Bundesliga definitely eliminates the idea that he just got lucky this season. A coach can get lucky for 3 games, 5 games or maybe 10 games, but this execution of impressive football so consistently is certainly a first proof that he can't be a bad coach. Time will tell whether he is the same league as Klopp and Guardiola.

PSG in a bid to replace him are set to raid Barcelona who are in need for money with some tempting offer for their winderkid, 16 year old Yamal. The offer of over 200m euro prepared by PSG is real mouth watering and very tempting especially to Barcelona who’re currently broke.
 
Yes this deal will sure destroy the transfer market and make the valuation of players sly rocket again and we know that this isn’t good for football as clubs will now over price their players who won’t be able to even offer anything. Yes the price is quite high even though we know yes, he’s got the quality and can be a good replacement for Mbappe.
 
 Also for Cancelo, he's a good player and he's performed very well for his teams. He was a good impact to City before he left on loan to Barcelona. Well, it's a good thing that Barcelona enjoyed him for the time being and if I'm to suggest, it'll only be right that they retain him in the team as he's going to be advantageous to them. Barcelona technically actually needs him there more than him at City. They're in financial debts no doubt but they have to make do with every situation they've found themselves.
 
 City don't really have a need for him now as they've got the rightful replacement for him. The Spanish side just should strive to make him join the team even with the littlest funds available. Sale of Yamal can be an effect to them generating the finance too but it'll mean loosing a good player too. These two players are good and would definitely blend each other but the management just have to be careful in their decisions as it'll definitely affect the start up phase for the next season encounters.

What do you mean by maintaining the old ones? Do you mean players that are already there or players that are old in terms of their age?

I think there can be a good reason to try to maintain the squad over the course of several seasons if possible. The top teams mostly had a certain core of players that played for the same club for a longer period of time. The list of examples is long. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona for a very long time, Bayern Munich. It is no coincidence that they tried to maintain their core players for a very long time while adding some salt to the soup over time with new players or some top stars if available. But yes at the moment Arsenal is on a good way, but before we praise them too much, I prefer to see how they finish this season.

There's always confidence for Carlo Ancelotti, he believes in his army and he knows, bringing to Santiago Bernabéu the UCL title and also in for the La Liga title, really a good run for the team this season. Carlo Ancelotti is going nowhere because he has more work to actually trigger for Real Madrid this season. We know how rough this season have been for them but they took the bull by the horn. Real Madrid are already leading on the table and will become more competitive when they have eyes on the title.

Why you doubt him?
I think it is okay if Xabi Alonso becomes the coach of Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid.
Don't you see how impressive the stats made by Xabi Alonso when he is managing Bayern Leverkusen this season?
It is an average team only but Xabi Alonso can build them to be an unbeaten team. It is enough to prove the quality or capability of Xabi Alonso as a professional coach.

When Zidane became Real Madrid coach, he is also not tested enough. But he could succeed with Real Madrid although many people doubt him. It also can happen with Xabi Alonso, he can succeed with Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid although some people assume it is too early to manage a top team.

For the the next coach of Real Madrid, it depends on the situation. If Zidane has an interest to manage Real Madrid again, he will be the number 1 priority. But he has no interest to manage Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso should be the priority to be the next coach of Real Madrid.

He left Real because he stopped feeling confident because of management, so he's unlikely to come back, only if management are serious about it and can get him reassured. I don't know if that's possible now, but why should Anceloti leave? I think the management will do their best to keep him as head coach

Koopmeiners has been denied by Atalanta, the president denied the player (valued at around 60 million euros).

Last week the player declared during the international break that he had asked to be sold to the club and that they had given him the OK for a possible transfer in the summer.

Today the president of Atalanta spoken and said that what the player declared is not true and that Atalanta does not need to sell and will therefore probably remain in Italy.
Several Premier League teams had been linked to the player and he already seemed destined for a sale...

I have begun to feel a recent liking or affection for Liverpool but the Liverpool that is right now, a Livepool full of life, about to win a PL, with a Klopp at full strength, with its forwards at full strength, so this is The team that I would like to see, I cannot deny that Salah, Luis Díaz always make the difference, and Liverpool without them for now will not be the same in the UCL.

For me, Klopp should stay,  I know, but Liverpool should find a way to convince him, maybe give him a good vacation, because Klopp is a bit tired, and at least every Liveprool player should be made to sign for 1 more season, let's see how it goes.

All of these are solutions that occur to me, because the truth is that it hurts that the team is falling apart, after fighting so much and possibly getting better results, well, they should consider these things, I don't know what you think? But for me at this moment Liverpool is a dream team.

Liverpool are about to unleash their most devastating player on the Premier League title race

Dude, how did you forget about Antony's transfer? Manchester United is even willing to pay 100 million euros for a player whose contribution is unclear. As we know, Manchester United often makes investments that are detrimental and their biggest mistake was recruiting Antony. Now let's compare which is better Olise or Antony for now? obviously most people will choose Olise with the existing statistics.

I don't want to criticize Antony too much but this player is already in a bad state and cannot be maintained. If Manchester United wants to take Olise from Crystal Palace then they have to sell Antony so that they don't have to spend so much money on the transfer fee. I think Crystal Palace will still be in its stance of wanting to make tens of millions of euros for one player and now the consideration is on Manchester United to determine this transfer.

Maybe if that's the case then the choice is for him to stay at Leverkusen for at least one more season, he can use that to prove that he can indeed handle a bigger club than Leverkusen. The reason is that currently I have also heard a lot from those who say that Xabi might just be lucky this season, therefore he must be able to prove himself by staying at Leverkusen and showing the same thing as this season again next season. However, I consider these words to be normal because Xabi has not yet fully proven that he is a consistent coach.

Real Madrid currently still feels at home with Ancelotti, it seems they want Ancelotti to continue the regeneration process first before they appoint another coach. The possibility that Zidane will return to Real Madrid or not is still a big question, because up to now he has not yet spoken about his coaching career after deciding to take a break some time ago.
