I'm not expecting much from Arsenal in Champions league,  I'm very sure arsenal targets still remains  to  win  Premier league after they lose it last  season, and with the players they have so far I'm not convinced if they are good enough to win the Champions league.  The champions league game will be to tough for arsenal because they already have a target since last season that they couldn't win, this season is another time for them to struggle to win the Premier League title this season.

Newcastle had their best season last year and I don't think they can do better than that, not taking anything away from Newcastle but their success has a lot to do with other top clubs not playing well. They can't play both in the champions league and premier league with the same energy they used last season. I'm of the opinion that the best they can do is Round of 16. They better not try to over step their power and concentrate on the premier league so they can try to challenge for it. They were never in the conversation last season but this season they should try to challenge for the premier league and leave the champions league to the teams that can do the job.

Ronaldo playing in the champions league will be interesting to watch and if Newcastle can get him then maybe they can go further than I initially predicted. The presence of Ronaldo in the Newcastle squad will boost their confidence and he Ronaldo will also put in his best to perform so maybe he can get an extra year on his contract to play in Europe. I don't believe this is going to happen but we can only fantasize on seeing him play again in the champions league, I actually missed him.

The fact is that the domestic league has not yet been rolled out, so we cannot predict with certainty how Arsenal will perform in this competition. it would be very natural, if many doubt it and I really understand that. because after all, Arsenal have been absent long enough in this competition. also, their players don't have much experience. plus, mostly dominated by young players. however, at least the Gunners are better prepared than the other teams in terms of team depth.
So far, Arteta has done his best for his squad and even brought in a few new arrivals. I'm sure, their hunt is not over in this summer transfer window. most likely, if Arteta will target several names that will become center forwards. so, as a Gunners supporter. I hope they will show their best game from match to match in this competition.

As for Manchester United, De Gea's departure was meant to be. I think, coming and going of a player is commonplace. now, Ten Hag is careful to recruit players according to the available funds. if Onana becomes a United player, the spending allowance to bring in new players will automatically run out. as for additional funds, United will get it from the sale of some of its players. so, there is no choice for Ten Hag amidst the current situation. ideally, he will do as much as possible even though it is far from expectations.

I can't believe that it already started, we are just at middle of July and we are already getting champions league games. Of course this is just very early stages, and that means teams are not going to be big teams and we are not going to see too much fun games just yet, but it is still there and I feel like it is going to be fine. I hope that it gets better and we end up seeing bigger things, can't say that it is going to be a simple one though, it is not easy to bet on these games.

I do not know most of the teams and if I ever end up betting on them, I would have to bet blind by looking at the odds and I do not like that, I like to check the odds but also know the teams and bet accordingly, I can bet better when I know the teams and their rosters.

We know that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who shines in the Champions League, in fact he has broken several records and even today he still holds them. But with the records he broke and he holds does not mean he will do the same, so in my opinion it is a risk if Ronaldo really joins Newcastle, because there is no guarantee he will be able to adapt well and shine again in the Champions League.
Moreover, I see this news appears only because the owner of Newcastle is of Arab origin who has connections with Al Nassr, so it is a matchology that finally becomes big news.

But these outliers don't necessarily repeat in the subsequent season. It's also two years ago when they had this spectacular start into the group stage against Real Madrid, but after that they failed to qualify for the Champions League again and lost against Pilsen and then they also lost against Nice in the round of 16 in the Europa Conference League. I wouldn't expect too much from them, but you are right that they have some more experience. I don't think they will come very far in the competition, but I am ok if they surprise me again.

Sheriff may become favorite in this match but i remind you that if farul has also perfect result in superliga. Sheriff must be careful caused by this is the first time for either of clubs are facing each other. I don't even put high expectation for sheriff.
Farul gonna be a host for the first leg. The chance to win the game is quite big compared with sheriff. The firat match between both of clubs makes the result is quite difficult to predict.
I thought that if this game gonna be a hard game. Bookies have favored Farul. Hosting the first leg has become the main reason why bookies put its choice for farul rather than sheriff.
The match gonna be a tough game. Im thinking about winning the first leg gonna be a key to secure safe position. Im feeling curious what's gonna be the outcome.

Today there is also a match between Farul Constanta against Sheriff Tiraspol and in the odds show, at least Sheriff Tiraspol is not favored because it may have higher odds. In fact, if I remember the previous seasons that Sheriff Tiraspol has better experience to play in the Champion League. So, with Sheriff Tiraspol not being the favorite to win in this match, but I think I will still choose Sheriff Tiraspol because I slightly believe Sheriff Tiraspol has a better chance because they have probably better experience too.

Winning the Champions League trophy is the dream of every player, many players are competing to strengthen Europe's elite club in order to achieve their dream of winning the most prestigious trophy in European competition. Kane is still stuck in a hole that prevented him from playing in the Champions League. So far, Tottenham has confined Kane to winning this most prestigious trophy.

Harry Kane doesn't have a firm attitude towards Tottenham, it's like he doesn't have the courage to give Tottenham an ultimatum to win a trophy with another club. Tottenham attitude that shows fear if Harry Kane moves to Manchester United is too much in my opinion, so far many great players have moved to Rival clubs but there is nothing to regret because it is a cycle that often occurs in football. Bayern Munich are starting to show their interest in Kane, this situation Kane must take advantage of for the good of his future career.

Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed that he'll still be around , so such news are complete speculations the media wants booming, nothing good will come out of it. But I think after this season, Cristiano Ronaldo would make the switch to Sporting Lisbon.
Eddie Howe did great handling Newcastle United last season, I want to see how he does the same with pressure of the Premier League and also the Champions League. They're making good signatures no doubt, they had a great defense last season, I hope it continues too this season.

In fact, there were several factors that greatly influenced the decline in Mane's game skills, which were quite significant when playing for Bayern Munich.
And it is clear that Mane in the Liverpool squad he has good enough teammates so that he can always collaborate to create a competitive attacking game.
For Kane himself I still believe that if he plays in the Bundesliga he will develop well but to get the Champions League with Bayern Munich is really impossible.
It seems impossible for Madrid to take Kane.

Spurs have no intention of selling their best scorer this transfer window; they simply been interested in motivating him to extend his contract with the club, and if he does, it will be quite disappointing to see such abilities wasted at mediocre Spurs. Harry Kane is hesitant to leave Tottenham Hotspur, most likely because he is exercising his patriotism for the club, and he overlooks that he is not growing younger, plus he wants to add a few outstanding titles to his gallery. The truth is that Tottenham Hotspur will not provide him with what he desires, but another possible Premier League team would.

It seems Harry Kane has loved Tottenham Hotspurs too much that he is reluctant to leave. Many have suggested Kane to move to another club, but it seems he himself has no strong desire to do so. As a reason, it could be that Kane did not extend his contract with Tottenham so that he could leave on a free transfer and of course there are many clubs who want his services. Whatever the reason, I don't think it's logical that Kane is a club legend and has never won the domestic league, let alone won the Champions League, that looks really bad.

For the transfer market this time it seems like it will repeat the previous incident that Kane will stay at Spurs next season, coupled with the attitude of the Club which sets a very high price for Kane, who is already 30 years old. Of course it will be very difficult for Kane to change clubs and only has one option if he wants to change clubs, namely waiting for the contract to expire and he is free to transfer.

0-0 was very disappointed result for zalgiris. I expect something more than drawing from zalgiris. I ready for second leg. It's likely zalgiris gonna win the next game. Struga was not able maximizing its chance to take points in the first leg. Zalgiris is far stronger compared with struga in the second leg. Zalgiris's odd is not so far compared with struga but i prefer to take zalgiris over struga.
It's caused by the club has more chance to win the game compared with struga.

Galatasaray is far stronger than those team. It will be so stupid if we are not picking the strong team that has more guarantee to win the game.

It doesn't matter whether that will be struga or zalgiris. It's gonna be easy match for galatasaray.

Tottenham are not as strong as other teams in the English Premier League and this team has never achieved the status of playing in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League and they have never won the Premier League title. Harry Kane has kept this team in a good position every season and the team's win or loss depends on Harry Kane's performance. When Harry Kane performs well, Tottenham does well in that match, but if Harry Kane performs badly in a match, then Tottenham is sure to lose in that match. Tottenham may understand that if they sell Harry Kane at this moment, it is never possible to bring a striker like him to their team. Maybe they are planning not to sell Harry Kane.

Even when I saw the news, I was unsure if it was true. How could Newcastle borrow Ronaldo from Al-Nasr to play for them in the Champions League when there is a league for Al-Nasr in which Ronaldo will be playing for them? In addition, I was confident that it was not true because Newcastle also has young players who will perform well for them. I can't see why they would borrow Ronaldo for the Champions League when there are also players that are more experienced and will do well for them as well.


However, I think they will try their hardest to move those teams up. We can see how Ronaldo has contributed to Al-Nasr since they signed him; he has helped the squad become known worldwide, if not to anyone who has even heard of Al-Nasr before. It will be entertaining to see the Benzema and Ronaldo squads facing each other and competing, and we can't wait to see them play for them.

Zalgiris or Struga are going to be Galatasaray's opponent in the next stage of the qualification phase. Zalgiris seemed to be much stronger in the first leg and they were being favoured by bookmakers quite much as well. But despite all that dominance it ended up with a goalless draw. I'm happy for not betting on them because I thought that for once.    I really want to start betting on Champions League matches on one hand but I don't want to bet on teams that I have no idea about. I have lost quite much money due to that before.

But when we have Galatasaray's matches against one of these teams I would bet in favour of the Turkish team. Because there is a huge gap between them and Galatasaray continue to get even stronger with new quality additions to the squad.

We already started some actual games of this upcoming season,as yesterday and today we have the weakest teams playing in preliminary elimination rounds,quite some surprises yesterday night from so respected teams who even at a certain point have been in group stages like Ludogoretz who lost 2-0 to KF Ballkani who on the other hand has been Europa Conference League group stages,yesterday was the first preliminary round so we have return legs.

I saw some games and of course the quality of these game were low but it is good that we are officially under way for the 2023/2024 season with games being played.

Not entirely true, indeed substitutions can change the game of the team and also the strength of the team but sometimes it can provide fresh air for the team as a whole if their new manager can find a replacement for the striker immediately if he is really going to leave the club, the problem is sometimes the manager or club owners are not smart enough to assess the players they are going to buy so that it ends up being a failed purchase.
Harry Kane's departure from his current club might also provide something new for his career so both benefits are not just about money. He will always play an important role at Tottenham because he is a player who is quite respected there but after a long season without titles there should have been an evaluation in the favor of both. I would like to see Harry Kane leave Tottenham and see the club with a new striker and see significant changes.
Unfortunately, Tottenham will not play in European competition next season this is quite a disadvantage for Kane, sure they can focus on getting that ticket for the next season but without good changes, Tottenham may find it difficult to return to the Champions League.

all of that was done by Tottenham because there was hope that Tottenham wanted which was planted in Harry Kane, namely to make the team formation stronger to be able to get champions league tickets. so the threat was because in fact Tottenham were afraid of losing Harry Kane because it was not certain that they could get a player like Harry Kane. and on the one hand Harry Kane seems comfortable not wanting to go to another team because the salary given is very commensurate with the performance given in every game.

all of that can happen as long as Harry Kane has the mindset of continuing his career by winning the Champions League trophy at another team.
