I don't think that Real Madrid thinks in terms like that. Yes Mbappe did not accept an offer and instead stayed at PSG, but he is still young enough to write a whole book about a possible career in Madrid. Next summer will be the final summer and I think the end to all the Mbappe - Real Madrid - PSG drama.

I would not compare Haaland to him because they have a very different skillset if you don't only count the goals. I know that they are both supposed to play the center forward position and then goals count, but they are still quite different from each other.

The difference between Mbappe and Haaland is that Haaland plays for a club he loves. He found what he was looking for. That is why I believe that Haaland doesn't feel the need to change something about his situation and he is also trained by Pep. It couldn't get any better for him. But maybe he is thinking about it and we will soon see him there.

This Lens we see in this season is far from what they wanted to see from them. In the last season, Lens performed very well and they could even win the title because of the small gap they had with PSG but in the end, Lens failed and we were hoping to see them win the title in this season but so far they are really disappointing and Lens couldn't even win the game against Le Havre, while Le Havre is not a strong team.
Le Havre was just trying to defend in this game and they did what they wanted to do.
 

PSG played great today. PSG's players continued to dominate from the start of the match. PSG's performance today was very composed. PSG players had 77% of the ball possession in the match. Mbappe scored from the penalty in just 10 minutes. Soler scored the second goal of the match. Ruiz's goal in the 77th minute gave PSG a 3-0 lead. Strasbourg's performance was quite poor today. I expected better performance from this team.
The way PSG played today, they have a chance to win the next match against Milan. Their match strategy was very good today but I am not sure if PSG players can maintain consistency.

PSG won a very comfortable victory. Almost the entire match, PSG players had the ball, their opponent did not have much of a chance. The coach is aware of how critical the next match is and knows that he should not tire the players too much.
It will not be easy to win a match against Milan, this year Italian teams are playing with a higher performance than PSG

Yes, it is true that Paris Saint Germain are not that bad, but again their unstable performances make that doubt arise in our minds about how they will play. One more thing, with their strength far above other clubs in Ligue 1 in general, they should be able to do and show more than what they are now showing.
I emphasize especially in the Champions League, I have no problem in Ligue 1, but when it comes to the Champions League, we can definitely see what they can do there, they have little hope there.

Strasbourg improved comparing to the previous season and they could do better than what they did in this match in my opinion. PSG were able to score the few opportunity they had at the opposite of Strasbourg.
PSG returned for now to the first spot since Nice result is still 0 - 0  vs Marseille and until Monaco face Metz tomorrow. I suppose they will not maintain this spot and Monaco will return first again tomorrow.

After returning from the international break, the PSG players continued to perform optimally and this time they won quite decisively against Strasbourg. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring for PSG in the early minutes and after that it was Soler's turn to score PSG's second goal. As the closing goal, Fabian Ruiz did his job well and made PSG win with a score of 3-0 at the Parc des Princes. Actually, this is a fairly easy match for PSG and they must win if they want to return to the top of the standings. Currently they have 18 points from 9 matches and of course PSG will still be displaced if Monaco and Nice win again this week.

On the other hand, PSG really needs this consistency to maintain their performance and after this they will still have a difficult match in the Champions League because they have to face Milan later. Luis Enrique must maintain the energy of his players so that they can perform optimally.

I also prefer the same kind of bets as you mentioned, but in some cases I think betting on corners or cards - and cards in particular - can make sense. There are some games where a lot of action and fouls and also hate duels between specific players are very likely. But it is also true that this is often times already taken into account by the bookies.

As you said the problem is the way PSG plays today. They are not this 100% guaranteed multiplier that people sometimes add when it's 98% safe that the home team wins. But those multipliers also have destroyed my bets in the past as well because it is quite often that the overwhelming favorites still don't win their games. That's why I also prefer bets with odds at least something like 1.4.

The first priority for Strasbourg was to defend and don't let PSG to score a goal in this match but the fact about this strategy is mostly whenever you are trying to just take a draw or hope for the counter-attacks, you are always at the risk of losing the game because you can't defend for full game finally as I was expecting to see, PSG got the chance to score three times in this match.

Exactly, like I always say, I do not even look at games with under 1.40 odds, the lowest I am willing to go is 1.40, which you could get if you give them 1.5+ goal difference handicap, but that still doesn't feel like good enough with the way they are playing these days. I do not understand all those people who bet on how many corners and how many yellow cards and red cars will be in a game, but this is one of those games to be fair because if you want to bet on it, then straight up who will win is not a smart one.

I think there are people who bet on exactly the number of goals too, like this game will end 3-1 or something which could be another thing to bet on this game, but no matter what it is just not straight up who will win this game type of bet at all for this one.

Already I made it clear yesterday that Lens isn't too good at away and it is important to know most times home advantage matters alot as players bring up all their energy to play when they're in the home and a team that can't defend itself while at home how much more when they go away.

And again, playing with promotion teams can be very difficult because since they haven't been playing consistently, it would be difficult to study their pattern of play.

Now, these promoted teams plays with lots of energy because they are happy that they are in the bigger division therefore they would want to get more experience in the division, so the outcome of the match yesterday isn't a surprise one

This match is as I predicted in the previous post, if Le Havre will be able to hold Lens to a draw. even based on the statistics of these two teams, the two teams played quite evenly. The difference is, Le Havre has 6 big chances and Lens only has 3 big chances. with this result, both teams only scored one point. As for Lens' performance against Arsenal, in fact if we talk tactically and statistically, Arsenal was much better. It's just that the Gunners made a mistake, which in the end they were defeated by Lens at that time. Well, in the next few days, we will watch Lens' match against PSV. We will see these two teams compete, and the results are not yet certain or can be said to be difficult to predict. However, we'll see later.

In today's match, as I also said in the previous post, PSG will beat their opposing team. As proven, Enrique brought his team to get full points by beating Strasbourg 3-0 without reply at the Parc de Princes, PSG's own headquarters. referring to data and statistics, Enrique changed his patterns and systems. plus, rotate some of the players. With this result, PSG is at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. If AS Monaco and Nice are unable to win their match, it means that PSG's position will not be temporarily disturbed in the standings. So, let's wait for the results of other matches.

PSG is actually not as bad as they think, it's just that sometimes they are unlucky because their opponents are really defensive throughout the match. Strasbourg were actually also very defensive with a 4-5-1 formation, but their high pressing meant they had to make mistakes which led to the first goal.

I don't know what the best reason is to underestimate PSG just because they dropped points in some games to non-favorites like Nice and Clermont Foot, but maybe they have their reasons. PSG is the favorite team every season in Ligue 1, but they shouldn't play without losing every season. Today they won at home with a score of 3-0, it was an expected win.

Maybe I'm quite regretful because I'm not sure about PSG, even though PSG is very favored if we consider the odds that existed before. But for some reason, I felt that maybe it was a trap so I doubted PSG in this match. But the truth is, PSG managed to win big with the final score being 3-0 and yes, if I realized the final result would be like this then maybe I would still go ahead to bet on PSG with the asian handicap option of course. Also, with the three points that PSG got in this match, it make PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 standings for now, even though it is only temporary, but it will certainly boost the team's morale for the better.

Quite a routine victory for PSG (I think we can already state this since the score is 3-0 in favor of PSG), it seems to me that even if Strasbourg were lucky and Motiba could score a goal without being offside, the result would be similar. Luis Enrique made 5 substitutions trying different combinations of players. By the way, Mbappe today is not as effective as usual, the penalty goal is good, but he missed several 100% chances.

Of course, France as a country supports those rights. And the clubs are also ordered to do that as well. We all know that as Muslims it is prohibited that any Muslim supports these kinds of things. So when the players say that they are not going to support this, they Certainly find themselves in a lot of trouble.

And let's not forget that France is not safe for Muslims at all right now. So the players saying that they are not going to agree with the LGBT rules is definitely bravery in my opinion. If they were actually more worried about the performance, instead of these stupid rights, they could have actually performed well.

This is not the best way to calculate the chances for games in another competition and you could know that because do you remember how Lens played against Arsenal? It will again be a game at home for Lens and although I agree that PSV might be the favorite by a thin margin, the game against Arsenal should be proof enough to at least give it some thought before predicting the result for that game in the Champions League. Sevilla is also an example, an even better example for a team that can't win games in the league but they can still win the Europa League. It seems to not be the best idea to approach it like you did.

He should consider it because he is a player who is very good, yes, he can make a difference in any of the teams, but he wants to win the UCL, next to a PSG I see it very difficult, in fact if he goes to Madrid he might not I see it as viable, because Madrid is very good at getting involved with him, I prefer and believe that Madrid's next target will be Haaland, because between him and Haaland, for me the Viking is much better, plus Mbappé's age is not It does not help him at all to join Madrid, the agreement fell apart when he preferred PSG over Madrid and as I have said on many occasions, Madrid does not give second chances, because no player is above the club, that is what Madrid has always shown us, that is why it may be that if you do not consider going to a Saudi team, you could easily go to Liverpool to see if you can fight to go for a UCL with them, and it would not be bad at all, Seeing a Luis Diaz with Mbappé , it will be wonderful to see his type of football, very emotional, and it would also be one of the highest casualties that a French team would have, because he would let go of one of the greatest players on the team and the team would be left helpless. It's not that others can't solve it, but obviously this player makes the difference and in Ligue 1 anything can happen, for now PSG has problems, we see how it continues to develop as time goes by.

Now Mbappé has to realize that they don't want him in Madrid, it may be that now in PSG he has to give everything so that he can move forward and play a good role, it is his job and as they have said, with all the money he He has it, it's obvious that he has to play very well, eventually he can bathe in a pool full of fucking cash, euros or dollars, whatever he Wants , but for now he has that, if he goes to a Saudi team It is clear that he may Have even more money.


Well, I still wouldn't draw conclusions so quickly and quickly that PSG is a fairly strong team, but I would rather wait for the game, because I haven't seen PSG playing very well, in fact not even Mbappé is doing well for me, I would think that they are Going through a very bad moment, and it may be that things can be done well as long as the team is motivated, but apparently the departure of Messi and Neymar left them in a very bad state, everyone believed that Mbappé was going to take the lead. expensive for the team but that's not the case, then things could get worse, now if Luis Enrique comes out on top, he has to win this game and all the remaining ones, because that's what they hired him for, and even though the previous coach seemed to me that he was not that good, it seems to me that Luis Enrique is not that good either, I hope to change my position on this coach but I think he is not the right one for a team like PSG that always looks for the best to have in its team, this time I don't see the Sheikh doing well with what he is doing, let's see how they can get the team Forward.

Deco confirms Barcelona held talks over Neymar return

The truth is that I find this quite interesting and curious ,after Ney is suffering from a major injury that lasts at least 6 months and that is something quite serious, I don't know how it could happen, but I don't Know if that's what suits him. Brazilian, it seems to me that in football he is much Better.

Drawing with a promoted team this season in Ligue1 is something that is not good enough for Lens so we also cannot conclude whether Lens will be able to beat PSV in the next match in the Champions League even though Lens was previously able to beat Arsenal there. Now Lens is in first place in the Champions League group standings, but I still doubt that Lens can maintain that position until the end of the group stage because now Arsenal has also started to improve so Arsenal will also aim for that position in order to become champions in that group.

Basically I really expect Lens to win in this match, because I think playing against a promotion team like Le Havre can be a great opportunity for Lens to get full points despite playing away. But yes, the reality is that my expectations and bets lost just because Lens drew, because I bet on Lens victory in this match with confidence. So yes, with a draw like this it is clear, that Lens is still difficult to improve its position in the Ligue 1 standings and yes, Lens has a different performance with the results it has obtained in the Champion League so far.
