Today the club world cup will be wound up and it's the show down between Chelsea and PSG. Since the high rise of the Parisian team and these few months of their dominance, I have heard Chelsea fans calling them over hyped, lol. They claimed PSG is only soaring high simply because they haven't met Chelsea. After their win against Fluminense one of my Chelsea friend said he wants PSG to beat Real Madrid so that they can play each other in the finals. After PSG booked their spot in final, I chatted him that his wish has been granted, now he should put his money were his mouth is. I will also say this to all those that believes Chelsea will win. This is the right to put your money were your mouth is, after all the odds are high and will favour you if Chelsea wins. For me, I still support PSG just I as I did at the beginning of the season for them to win the Champions League.

I don’t think Chelsea is better, in my opinion, they’re going to lose to PSG in this final. I’m even getting a bet ready... The current Champions League title holder is much better prepared than the English team. With another title this season, the ones who must be feeling jealous are Mbappé and Neymar, who haven’t managed to stand out like they used to since leaving PSG.
I didn't say Chelsea was better though but the truth is football doesn't give us the results we often think, I'm supporting PSG for the trophy but that doesn't mean I have written Chelsea off, surprises do happen a lot and in this competition we have witnessed it one time too many. Despite me being for PSG I'm still keeping an open mind and my fingers crossed. One thing I have learnt is not to underestimate any team. Eras comes and goes.

I don't think that it's Rodrygo that is anxious of leaving Real Madrid, rather it is his manager that is pushing for that moves because he feels that Rodrygo isn't given enough time to play on the field. Left for Rodrygo alone, he still has passion playing for Real Madrid and believes he will definitely get on spot as part of Madrid first eleven in future.
Yeah, he doesn't want to leave because there's this news about him I read few days ago, were he said he wants to fight for his place in the starting eleven and that if he leaves, it's not if his own decision but the club. The thing, most of us that's not in the club knows that his not needed by the coach and how can you fight for your place when you're not given the opportunity to play? The more he stays, the more he will be getting playing time. The club wants to cash in on him and if any club comes with the amount that Real Madrid wants, they will sell him.

If Chelsea defends more like park the bus against PSG, it'll be tough for the Champions of Europe to get a goal quickly,  but if they try to play their normal game that brought them to this stage, they'll be fvcked hard in the butthole during the first 30 minutes of the game. I'm not hating, I'm not underestimating nobody,  it should be a 1:0 win for PSG, possibly a 2:0. The signs are all over. Talks of Chelsea being underdogs and winning are not relevant in this game.
Personally, I think going all out to defend might even be the worst thing to do against PSG in a high profile match like this because they will definitely break that defence. It's simple, they have the players to unlock any defensive structure. If you defend, you're only giving them multiple options to come at you from every angle and you know they have quality players in the flanks to do the job. Even their LB and RB are terror on their own in the flanks. It's better Chelsea comes out and play their normal game so it will be balanced.

Tony Montana on his X handle claims Arsenal are Chelsea puppet, lol. He also claims that the two clubs are not rivals but rather Chelsea owns Arsenal both in Europe and in the transfer market. Well as for the Europe and transfer market, I totally agree with him because in Europe Chelsea has shown that they are way bigger than Arsenal by landing European trophies like the Champions League which is the major trophy for all clubs in Europe and also in the transfer window, they've sold players to Arsenal that isn't worth the amount. Over the past few years, Chelsea has raked up almost £200 million from players sales to Arsenal alone.

So many people complained why the Club World cup was brought to the US but now I think they are trying to see or should I say, FIFA is using this in watering the ground for the main event of next year. Currently, Infantino said "stadiums with  roofs will be used to ease concerns over severe weather in the World cup" European players especially really complained of heat after when they go there and if you noticed, they stadium was equipped with mobile ACs in the stands.

Mobile ACs aren't enough when stadium will be full and FIFA using this competition as a test is certainly a clever move but it ruined it. They were able to do this with another simple competition like friendlies for national teams..
I wonder by the way why FIFA didn't include a game between the two teams that lost, I mean Real Madrid and Fluminense. It would be interesting to see which team will end third and fourth.
I know that mobile ACs won't even cut not one beat, I only even saw it in the stands of the dug out. Although, the competition will not only hold in America but also in Canada and Mexico, the weather in Canada won't be that harsh as that of the US. I really don't know what the US will do but I think before the World Cup they will try to improve on the stadiums so the fans don't suffer from much heat. Brazil hosted the world cup not too long ago and they got it right, I think they will still get this right too when the time comes.

As of the news today, Crystal Palace has been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference. We still remember how the qualified by beating Manchester City in the FA cup final to get the Europa League ticket. But the twist here is that, they cannot since Lyon too will be playing in the same Europa League. John Textor owns shares in both Palace and Lyon, (I think he owns majority shares) the thus bridges UEFA multi club ownership rules Which simply states that Clubs with the same ownership cannot play in the same competition. Crystal Palace might go to court for this, lol.
Didn't John Textor sell his stake in Crystal Palace to Woody Johnson? Yes the sale took place past UEFA deadline but UEFA should have given some leniency. I heard Crystal Palace has appealed to CAS to be allowed to continue participating in the Europa League. However if the outcome is negative Nottingham Forest will benefit as they could replace Palace in the competition.
I don't think he has because the news that came up two days ago still suggests that John Textor has agreed to sell 43% of his stake at the club to fellow America Woody Johnson. This simply means that, he hasn't yet and remains the majority owner of the club and thus Crystal Palace and Lyon can't play in the same competition. Just like you said, if there's no resolution between them and UEFA, then Nottingham Forest stands to benefit from this rule while Palace will be relegated to the Conference league.

I'm also curious about Leverkusen next season, whether they'll improve or not. It will be interesting to follow Ten Hag's journey next season, because it's not just about Leverkusen, but also about him. If Ten Hag succeeds in the Bundesliga, it will show that the problem lies with Manchester United, not Ten Hag. He thrived while managing Ajax, and he also won two trophies during his time at Manchester United, despite their poor performances.

If he succeeds at Leverkusen, it will show that Manchester United is a toxic team, with a poor structure, inconsistent boardroom decisions, internal problems, and so on. However, if Ten Hag fails at Leverkusen, it will prove that Ten Hag isn't a managerial talent. I can't wait for the Bundesliga season to start and want to see Leverkusen's first performance under Ten Hag.
I even think I'm more curious than you are and can't wait for the season to begin so I can follow Bayern Leverkusen to see how Ten Hang will fair in the team. He posed himself as a good coach after his spell at Ajax and he thought his now in the league of elite coaches. When he first came to Manchester United, he felt like he could display Pep and Kloop then. Made changes and win his first few games then he thought he was the price, started treating players as if he was in charge of children. I want to see how he will handle this Leverkusen side, I'm just curious, if he will use same approach he used at United.

From the rumours making the rounds, Real Madrid is read to include Camavinga plus a multi million euro payments for the services of the PSG maestro in midfield Vitinha. Real Madrid looks forward to strengthen their squad especially as Modric is on his last legs for the club. It's understood that Modric has agreed personal terms with AC Milan and iwill no longer be a Madrid player after the club world cup. PSG is a big financial team and wouldn't let the heart of their midfield go for any amount.
I doubt PSG will be willing to give out their midfield maestro to their European rivals. If they must strengthen they will have to sort that firepower somewhere else. Like you said PSG is a big financial club and won’t want to lose their best midfielder to their competition Real Madrid.
Let's assume you're in charge of signing and selling players in PSG would you agree to sell your priced asset player knowing fully well that your team financially buoyant? I know you wouldn't, even if it were me I still wouldn't. So personally, I won't even listen to such a deal and I guess that's what PSG will do. Vitinha is just something else and right now, his on top of his career, even he himself wouldn't want to leave PSG right now.

So literally Inter Miami is now focusing on assembling all Messi's formal team mates from both Barcelona and Argentina, lol. Does it really mean he needs his formal team mates to perform? Now I'm beginning to take the rumours of them now serious, we saw how he didn't perform even with the super team of PSG back then simply because his formal players weren't in the team, now it's getting clearer to me.

Of course any player can perform better when he is playing with his teammates that he used to play with and who understand him quickly and help him to shine.
Messi like any player, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and the others, can't show his all skills in whatever team they play with and in any league. It might work good in Barcelona, less in PSG and a little bit better in Inter Miami. I don't know what is the long term project of this team but certainly bringing all Messi friends will not work more than a year or two because, well, the age.
Last thing, Messi, in comparison with other players, has more individual skills and rely slightly less on his friends to perform and create opportunities to score.
Well if you ask me, if a player rely mostly on his other teammates to perform at the highest level, then I wouldn't say that person is the very best. If you say, Messi in comparison to other players doesn't rely on his formal teammates to perform, then can you tell me his performance after he left Barcelona for PSG? Was his performance at PSG even a quarter to what we saw at Barcelona? The answer is no
I stand to be corrected, Ronaldo so far performed in England with Manchester United, performed even better in Spain with Real Madrid. Even his performance in Juventus wasn't in the standards of the previous two, he still performed.

Madrid was taking the necessary measures to strengthen their entire squad. But in the match against PSG, we saw again the terrible weakness of Madrid's defense. Madrid bought Alexander Arnold to strengthen the defense. There are also talented defenders like Carvajal, Militao, David Alaba, Mendy and Rudiger. Madrid's defense has a lot of experienced defenders. Even then, if Madrid's defense cannot do well, then it will definitely be considered their tactical weakness. I don't think Madrid needs to buy more experienced defenders.
The two new Real Madrid defenders didn't play the game Vs PSG. The two early goals came in as a defensive blunder by Asencio and Rudiger respectively, with the recovery of both Militaoe and Carvajal that will bring a boost to the CB and RB positions. Where I think Real Madrid needs to strengthen this in defense is the LB, Garcia is not really that kind of player that can handle that position effectively. I'm not going to mention Mendy because I don't even know what his still doing at Madrid.

Rodrygo to the EPL feel realistic as days go by, five games and counting that Rodrygo has being on the bench without playing and today Fabrizio Romano has posted that Real Madrid has told him that he can leave the club which means it is green light for Arsenal to try and make a deal with Real Madrid for his signature.


Rodrygo really fell out of favour in the Real Madrid team not just from Alonso but even Ancelotti himself, I said this because, during the last weeks of Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach, he wasn't even using Rodrygo again, the last few matches of the team he wasn't in the starting lineup neither was he in the bench. It's not even about Alonso alone, it's like the management too doesn't want him and I think he should leave the club too. His one of the most underrated players in the club.

It is very normal and okay to believe that PSG will win the trophy because so far their performance has made it okay to agree to that assumption. For PSG this is a very critical one for them to achieve and they will stop at nothing to achieve it so I don't expect  they will perform any lesser than expected of them but they hopefully do not take Chelsea for granted so they don't get surprised in the end.
Yeah, despite the fact that most of us do much believes that PSG will win the final against Chelsea on Sunday, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed because I know this is a game of football and anything can happen. But if we are to follow the way things are, PSG will come out victorious but the good thing is that, we won't be seeing that kind of score line we saw in the Champions League finals Vs Inter Milan. I don't think Chelsea will and can be reduced to that.

I came across a post which revealed a statement Enrique made after Mbappe left PSG for Real Madrid. He said "I would rather have four players who scored 12 goals than one who scores 40. To me this is a very deep statement that has a lot of important and necessary meaning. If that one player fails to perform in a game the team finds it difficult but if one player out of the four fails, three is always there to cover up for the team. That's why a club needs to have a team and not individual players.

At least, this season, PSG's reputation has been truly impressive. Their strength is full of spirit, and their winning mentality is very strong. This is when they truly become so solid. From being initially doubted due to the departure of several top star players, Luis Enrique has finally managed to lead PSG to such great success this season.

And Luis Enrique is also very confident in their strength, but, still, they must be extra sure and careful when facing Chelsea in the final match of the FUFA Club World Cup. Don't let their confidence destroy what lies ahead.

Source: Luis Enrique - PSG
I totally agree with this, they are so dominant now that no team can match them for now, we all know that eras comes and goes and in football, you can't stay at the very to for consecutive 2 - 3 seasons without another champion displacing you. This dominance in Europe and the club world cup right now is really deserved but just few changes can trigger the beginning of an end. So both the club management and fans should enjoy it now while it lasts.

It's absolute cinema to see how manager swap is likely to happen between Brentford and Tottenham. Last weeks we've encountered how Ange got sacked, by Levy, then appoint T.Frank as a new manager. This time Brentford is approaching Ange to be their new coach to replace T.Frank's position. Only hope this come true, and we can see big ange back to EPL will be amazing.
Only wonder why don't they do manager swap directly instead of going one by one. Hilarious  Cheesy Cheesy
Moves like this where it seems like or it's planned were teams swaps coaches between them. Think it's something that's happening newly in the Premier League because I know for sure that this kind of swaps is a normal thing in Serie A. Well I really don't care who takes over Tottenham as coach, I just want who ever that's incharge to improve the team . I just hated where I saw Tottenham on the table even though the won a silverware to make up for their bad season. I just want a better Tottenham.

Rodrigo De Paul is on the way to Inter Miami... To the place where he can reunite with Messi. Just like in the Argentina national team. I thought he would stay a little longer in Europe. I assume he isn't competitive for a title here anymore.
I saw a post saying that Messi’s bodyguard was suspended but no problem that Rodrigo De Paul is here to do the job lol. Good signing for Inter Miami, Messi will be linking up with another of his colleagues but this time from his national team. Inter Miami is becoming the new retirement home for players.
So literally Inter Miami is now focusing on assembling all Messi's formal team mates from both Barcelona and Argentina, lol. Does it really mean he needs his formal team mates to perform? Now I'm beginning to take the rumours of them now serious, we saw how he didn't perform even with the super team of PSG back then simply because his formal players weren't in the team, now it's getting clearer to me.

C'mon man, give the dude a break I mean he is old and age is something that no one can run away from not even the almighty cristiano Ronaldo because at some point if we want to be truthful to ourselves he don't match picture of himself five years back even if he is trying his possible best to fit his game style with the age factor as for Leo physique isn't just his brand and he will be more affected since he is a player who loves toying with ball at his feet
Lol man, well my problem is not even with Messi but his fans. I know his old same as Ronaldo and both of them have served their own parts in making us happy in the footballing world but the issue here are his fans. There's this very guy on social media that doesn't allow us to rest. He talks down on every player except Messi. If Inter Miami loses he blames everyone there except Messi and if they win he praises only Messi. Now his on a campaign on how Messi has saved Inter Miami from drowning in the bottom. His made to always bash on Messi each time I see any post relating to him or his club.

Rodrygo's non-playing in the semi-final match made the rumors of Rodrygo's departure even bigger. But according to the local media I read that wasn't Xabi's reason.  Xabi reasoned more on the technical side. But there were rumors that Rodrygo would leave after Mbappe arrived. Not only Arsenal there are clubs from SPL and even PSG are ready to get Rodrygo's services.

You should that most times, the coach won't come out outrightly to say the main reason why his been benching him. It was already clear to most of us that Rodrygo's days were up in the all white colours. Yes, he dropped form towards the ending of the season as I noticed and that has also affected him play wisely. How do you defend not playing an injury free player throughout the group stages. I'm not even sure his started any game for Alonso, the few times he played he came off as a substitute with few minutes left to play, I stand to be corrected on this. It very easy to notice when a player is no entirely in the plans of a coach.
