Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq may be exceptions. Just look at their transfer market moves. They've been actively purchasing many quality players from Europe, which has brought their performance up to par with other strong teams in the SPL, such as Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ittihad. Since Al-Ahli is also part of the PIF, we can understand this. Meanwhile, Al-Qadisiyah has substantial funding behind them, allowing them to make significant moves in the transfer market, making them a strong team.

As for Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Kholood, I think Al-Ettifaq is the deserved favorite. But since it's early in the season, we shouldn't expect too much.
Yes, Al-Qadisiyah seems to have strong financial support, similar to the teams under the PIF. This allows them to purchase several expensive players from Europe quite easily. Al-Qadisiyah, owned by Saudi Aramco, will certainly have no financial difficulties, so you're right, this team is indeed capable of competing fiercely, as it boasts the same squad depth as other strong teams.

The Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Kholood match just ended in the first half, with the score at 1-1. It seems Al-Ettifaq isn't performing as well as I had hoped. But perhaps it's just the start of the season, so we should be prepared for surprising results. Not only in the Saudi Pro League, but in major European leagues, there are also many surprises at the start of the season.
Indeed, when a team has substantial funding behind it, it doesn't need to worry about the players it needs. Because the club will strive to bring in players they truly need. And we can see that all the financially strong teams in the SPL have demonstrated dominance and strong performances. However, even so, it can't be said that the team that spends the most money will be the best and ultimately the winner. Effectiveness in player acquisitions must also be a focus, followed by how to utilize the players already brought in is another crucial and challenging issue. And only teams that can truly maximize everything will succeed.

The Al-Ettifaq vs. Al-Kholood match appears to be nearing its end. The match has entered the 84th minute. The current score shows Al-Ettifaq still leading 2-1. And perhaps Al-Ettifaq will manage to maintain that lead until the end.

While not all of them, there are always a few newly promoted clubs who immediately manage to break into the top-flight competition every season. However, regarding Al Hazm, I doubt they'll be able to compete for a top-five finish this season. However, I think a mid-table finish is quite possible, given their performance.

The score has now shifted to Al Hazm's advantage, 0-1. And perhaps Al Hazm will indeed win this match. But remember, Damac is no ordinary team. This team has consistently managed to survive and avoid the relegation zone, not just through luck. It's also because of their excellent skills and consistently manages to trouble some of the top teams. Even if Damac loses this match, it doesn't necessarily guarantee defeat in their other matches. Likewise, even if Al Hazm wins this match, it doesn't guarantee victory in their next matches.
Well, that's my point. I also don't mean to predict Al Hazm as a top-five contender. I was just talking about Al-Ahli and Al-Qadisiyah as examples from previous seasons. But I think this Saudi League is more intense than expected. Because it seems like every match is quite difficult to predict. Maybe we can't even bet much except on a few matches that pit a strong team against a team considered weak.

Al-Ittifaq's next match will be against Al-Kholood. And it seems like the match has already started. What are your thoughts on this match? Do Al-Ittifaq deserve to be the favorites? I don't know much about this team yet, but they seem to have a pretty reliable squad in terms of depth.

Damac Football Club made an incredible comeback today, they are truly a remarkable team because they are able to survive by maintaining consistency, perhaps as they proved in the opening clash of the Saudi Pro League but it is true that this group has been struggling recently. In my opinion this opening match of the new Saudi Pro League season between Damac and Al Hazm may have given the audience a proper sense of joy,in this match we saw both teams applying a lot of pressure through counterattacks, which made it really difficult to determine the outcome of this match but in the final stages, Damac managed to avoid their embarrassment by scoring a goal.
That's right, my friend. And that's how Damac always has a lot of surprises. Making the score level in the final minutes was quite a dramatic result, wasn't it?  Cheesy

AC Milan, Chelsea agree Christopher Nkunku transfer — reports

According to multiple reports this morning, including from Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Chelsea and AC Milan have agreed a deal for Christopher Nkunku, with the forward now set to travel to Italy for his medical and the final bits of paperwork.


Well that's good amount of money Milan paid to Chelsea for someone who rarely scored in PL. Can i call Ac Milan as Chelsea's savior? They often bought Chelsea player, and that's what they are. Only hope he won't be another flop and become the next Pulisic who develier for Milan.
Well, I hope AC Milan manages to land a player who can truly contribute significantly to the team. If AC Milan fails again, the team will likely have to consider buying another potential player in the next transfer window, even if it means spending more money. Alternatively, AC Milan could emulate Chelsea in scouting promising young players and developing them within the team.

Nkunku, as an attacking midfielder, hasn't been particularly prolific in terms of goalscoring. Last season, in 27 appearances for Chelsea, he only contributed 3 goals and 2 assists. While that's not a bad record, it's not an achievement to be proud of either.

Perhaps the competition in Serie A will allow Nkunku to adapt more easily and show his true potential. I don't think the competition in Serie A is as fierce as in the Premier League.

The Saudi Pro League has just begun. The opening match of the season is Damac vs. Al-Hazm. The first half just ended with a 0-0 draw. I initially thought that the home team, Damac, would win, but now I have to doubt it. Al-Hazm seemed more reliable in this match, even though they were only recently promoted to the Saudi Pro League. But from the way they played, they seemed more prepared than Damac, who have always managed to survive in the Saudi Pro League.

And after observing, every season, a newly promoted team emerges and immediately shows strong performance, even breaking into the top five. For example, Al-Ahli performed well in their first season here. Then there was Al-Qadisiyah last season, which also showed the same thing. And I think this season might be the same. Al-Hazm could be one of them.

What do you guys think about this? I may not have been following this league for long, but I've looked back over the history of the past few seasons and come to this conclusion.

Day after day im more and more convinced in my theory, and my theory is like, is more  a karma thing than a performance thing the problem of Al Nasrr, if you look at it they made everything in their hands to win, they buy everything they spend tons of money but they cant win anything at all, they lose in the final. And they restart and is the same situation all over again.
Al-Nassr certainly seems to be doing everything they can to improve their team. But one thing I'm sure we can see from the past few seasons in the current and previous transfer windows is that the team has always focused more on strengthening their attack and wing positions. As for the back line and defensive midfield, we rarely see much movement in the transfer market to acquire several good players while simultaneously addressing weaknesses in the back line. This team seems to be neglecting its own weaknesses and focusing too much on attack. Although one European defender was brought in this transfer window, it still doesn't seem to be enough. But let's see when things start. Because this season, Al-Nassr could be different and capable of winning the title.

Al Nassr defense looked like a nightmare for the team. We could see this during the match. In the first half, Al Nassr took the lead through a goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 41st minute from a penalty kick. Then in injury time in the first half, Franck Kessie managed to equalize the score. In the second half, Al Nassr regained the lead through a goal scored by Marcelo Brozovic. However, Al Ahli managed to penetrate Al Nassr defense line and equalized the score again. In the end, Al Nassr suffered a defeat and failed to win the championship because they failed in the penalty shootout. So I think you're right about Al Nassr's poor defense, which should have been reliable when Al Nassr took the lead several times. If that had happened, Al Nassr might have won the championship. However this should be a bitter lesson that the team must learn. Jorge Jesus should have realized this, so he can improve Al Nassr defensive weaknesses.
Over the past few seasons, this team's weakness has always been the same: its defense. Even after changing coaches several times, the results remain the same. And strangely, there hasn't been much movement in the transfer market each season to improve the defense.

However, this transfer window, Al Nassr has at least brought in Inigo Martinez to strengthen the backline. Inigo Martinez, a center-back, should have a positive impact. And I hope that, although Al Nassr has still shown weaknesses in the defense in the previous few matches, I hope Al Nassr will no longer show those weaknesses in the SPL. And in the upcoming first week, Al Nassr will face Al Taawon, whose strength is undeniable. And that will be a good test for this team. And I hope Jorge Jesus can be the coach who can fix this team's weaknesses.

In general, I heard that these indicators really help many. I can’t say yet that this option is convenient for me to work with. Although, sometimes I still use this option.
Day traders and swing traders are likely accustomed to using at least two or three trading indicators daily. The most common is the Bollinger Bands indicator. This is the easiest indicator to understand, and I find it quite accurate. With this indicator, at least in the short term, we can determine whether the market is overbought or oversold. Traders typically use these points to place new entries. I do it too, and I learned this from someone. But my approach is to wait for the overbought/sold level to be broken, and to determine whether it's at the strongest support or resistance level. I'll wait for some market confirmation before making a decision on whether to enter. This way, I can avoid some risk of loss. Each indicator has its own advantages, and every trader has their own favorite indicators.

If they focus on profit, the team won't achieve success. Because in the Premier League, success means profit. Success must be the priority. A team that prioritizes success over profits can always win. Chelsea initially had a very poor season, but gradually recovered. Today, Chelsea, one of the Premier League's best, is considered the team that won the last Club World Cup. If Manchester United prioritizes success above all else, signs the right players, and isn't afraid to spend, they can return to their former level.
Manchester United actually wanted to make a lot of changes in the last transfer window, but they struggled to offload several players. This certainly hampered the recruitment of new players. To maintain a balance between club spending on salaries, every addition of a new player must be offset by the release of some existing ones. And I think Manchester United is hampered in this regard. Due to their poor reputation last season, the players at the club also struggled to attract offers from other clubs.

But their current focus is on maximizing what they have and rebuilding their reputation in the Premier League. This will make it easier for them to overhaul their squad in the next transfer window.

As at last season inter's play was really good except you are talking about the previous seasons before that last one. The only problem I had with them was the fact that they lost carelessly at the champions league to psg without even scoring a single goal. Torino on the other hand were very slow and their keeper wasnt even serious at all. I think that inter Milan are really going to be a strong force this season
I can't say no, she played very well but was unlucky towards the end
but let's remember that he reached the Champions League final, so this must already be a milestone to be respected
many others just talked and did practically nothing, so I'd say that's fair enough.
This season, many people initially doubted Inter Milan, especially after Inzaghi left the team. But after seeing how they started the season, scoring five goals against Torino, I think Inter Milan will remain a strong team this season. Although it's only early days and we can't draw conclusions, their performance in their first match was impressive.

And yes, in the Inzaghi era, Inter Milan was also a very strong team. It's just that they've been unlucky in finals. Inter Milan have reached the Champions League final twice in recent memory, but they've been unlucky each time. But I'm not sure if they'll make it to the Champions League final again anytime soon.

You are right that they are in rebuilding phase which is tough for team with such high expectations. Xabi Alonso has to win games and he builds team because if they start losing he could quickly be fired. You are also right that real test will be how they perform against big rivals like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid as those matches will truly show how much team has improved. For now they are doing well enough to give them time they need to get better.
In fact, Xabi Alonso, who doesn't even have much coaching experience, will certainly have a bit of a struggle at first when he becomes the coach of a big and most famous team in Europe, Real Madrid. The pressure he feels will certainly be enormous, unlike the two previous clubs he coached, Real Sociedad B and Bayern Leverkusen. But so far, Xabi Alonso has immediately shown positive things, although some matches have not gone as smoothly as expected. But the most important thing is that this team is starting to improve, even if it is slowly. And indeed, the real challenge comes when this team has to face rival teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who always compete fiercely every season.

on 26/08/2025, 17:47:39 UTC
Penurunan terus berlanjut semalam hingga menembus level harga $116k tetapi kembali memantul dengan cukup cepat dan kembali ke harga $117k, dari pandangfan saya, harganya mungkin akan mencoba meretes support di $114k-$116k jika ini turun makakit akan melihat potensi lebih bawah, tapi sekenarionya cukup kuat jika kita berada di atas $115k untuk penutupan minggu ini, dan saya harap beberapa sentimen positif segera tumbuh kembali, melihat Trump bertemu dengan Putin, ini mungkin menjadi jalur diplomasi ke arah bilateral yang positif dimana harus menemukan titik temu tentang Ukraina dan Rusia, kemudian rusia dan Amerika kembali membaik, ini akan membantu cukup banyak berita positif untuk bitcoin.
Pandangan mas Khiholangkang sepertinya memang cukup tepat. Karena harga bitcoin tadi malam sempat turun ke harga $114k sesuai dengan yang mas sebutkan. Dan setelah itu harga beranjak naik kembali ke harga $116k.

Tapi sepertinya koreksi lebih lanjut bisa terjadi. karena setelah pantulan ini sepertinya aksi beli atau kekuatan beli masih tidak cukup kuat. Apalagi kalau lihat chart di time frame 1 hari dan 4 jam kita bisa melihat titik support terkuat sudah tertembus dan bisa saja harga malah lanjut turun ke $112k.an. Tapi semoga saja dari $114k memang bisa mantul lebih tinggi dan membalikkan tren supaya kembali bullish. Karena dalam Timeframe 4 jam kita melihat posisi pasar sedikit bearish walaupun sudah hampir menyentuh titik support kembali.

Mungkin jika ada hasil yang bagus dari pertemuan kedua presiden tersebut maka market bisa lebih bergairah dengan efek positifnya.
Bitcoin melanjutkan penurunan hingga ke $114k hari ini, kita akan melihat penurunan hingga target yang anda sebutkan, lebih tepatnya supportnya dianatara $110k-$112k, saya harap bitcoin tidak turun dari harga itu, jika support disana turun maka kita akan terus mengalami penurunan hingga $105k-$107k, saya berfokus pada time frame mingguan karena itu bentuknya lebih bisa di lihat dari segi fluktuasi yang mencoba membentuk ke arah jangka menengah hingga jangka panjang.
Harga $108k hari ini bahkan sudah sempat tersentuh. Dan sekarang harga masih bertahan di harga $109k. Jadi sepertinya semuanya memang berjalan seperti yang dibicarakan ya mas. Yaitu koreksi lebih lanjut memang bisa terjadi. Karena biasanya memang begitu kalau titik support sudah tertembus maka koreksi lanjut sudah biasa terjadi.

Sekarang kalau bisa bertahan di harga saat ini atau minimal jangan tembus melebihi $107k maka seharusnya bisa naik lagi dibulan depan ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi. tapi kalau level ini tertembus maka bersiap ke harga $95k bahkan bisa terjadi. Dalam time frame mingguan memang terlihat lebih jelas. Dan sekarang harga mulai menyentuh titik support terkuat.  Jadi harga sekarang sepertinya jadi titik penentuan lagi ya mas. Tapi semoga saja ada kenaikan pesat dari sini. Apalagi hari rabu biasanya market sedikit naik.

Apapun yang kita lakukan untuk bisa mendapatkan hasil yang besar pastinya memiliki resiko yang besar juga dan itu sepadan dengan hasil yang kita peroleh namun sebelum melakukannya kita perlu mempelajari terlebih dahulu dengan resiko yang akan kita tanggung misalnya jika anda mendirikan bisnis dan anda mengalami kerugian di awal apakah anda bisa menutupinya dengan uang lain agar bisnis anda bisa berlanjut hal ini sama seperti kita berinvestasi pada BTC kita harus menggunakan uang dingin untuk menikmati hasilnya jangka panjang kalau anda mengalami kerugian anda tetap bisa hidup dengan uang sehari hari anda yang terpenting anda berinvestasi pada spot dan bukan future yang kemungkinan besar bisa kehilangan aset, resiko adalah bagian dari proses menuju sukses yang penting kita harus tau cara mengelola resiko dengan baik.
Memang poin pentingnya adalah kita harus mampu mengelola resiko tersebut dengan baik. Karena tanpa pengelolaan yang baik maka seseorang yang mengambil resiko bisa kita anggap ceroboh apabila resiko yang diambil tidak didasarkan pada perhitungan atau pengelolaan yang baik.

Mengambil resiko berarti kita juga sudah siap dengan yang akan terjadi apabila resiko itu terjadi. Perencanaan cadangan seperti dana cadangan juga diperlukan dalam investasi. Seperti memiliki modal double dalam bisnis untuk menutupi kerugian diawal bisnis yang biasanya tidak langsunng berjalan baik. Karena sebuah bisnis biasanya membutuhkan fase pengenalan dan pengumpulan konsumen setia. Tapi ketika sebuah bisnis bisa bertahan lebih lama dengan modal cadangan tersebut biasanya pada akhirnya bisnis tersebut bisa berjalan dengan lebih baik.

Dalam investasi juga begitu. Oleh sebab itulah investasi dalam bitcoin juga lebih baik memakain DCA dalam mengakumulasi. Karena bisa mengurangi resiko dan bisa membuat rata-rata harga pembelian menjadi lebih rendah.

If Al-Nassr manages to win the title this season, it would truly be the most beautiful gift for Cristiano Ronaldo, who I believe may not be playing football for much longer. At over 40, most players retire before or not far from this age. And I think Cristiano Ronaldo might be the same way. Moreover, if he reaches his 1,000-goal target quickly, his retirement will almost certainly be closer. Perhaps another season or two is the maximum. We don't know.

But it seems like Al-Nassr must win this season. And yes, the new players brought in also seem very reliable. Felix has adapted quickly. And even Cristiano Ronaldo seems to like this young player. We remember the assist Cristiano Ronaldo gave Felix in the previous match. That was a truly beautiful moment, in my opinion.
Of course, because I'm sure all Cristiano Ronaldo fans will be very happy about this. Even anyone who has seen the legend play at his age and still play so well will surely be happy, because Cristiano Ronaldo truly deserves it.

And you know, Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who always manages to lift the team's mentality and that of his teammates. And what Cristiano Ronaldo did when he provided the assist to Joao Felix also seemed to boost Felix's confidence. Because, from that position, Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored the goal himself, but he didn't, instead passing it to Felix. I also like how he did that.

Mbappe and Vinicius are great forwards who will be the leaders of Real Madrid's attack. Rodrigo has nothing to complain about, he got the opportunity from Alonso to play from the first minutes but was substituted in the middle of the second half and Vinicius had enough time to score a goal, I think this is an indicator of how much more important Vinicius is for Real Madrid. Rodrigo wants to play but for now he cannot compete with Mbappe and Vinicius, and Garcia by the way came on as a substitute only in the 74th minute, so Alonso is giving everyone a chance to play for now.
Vinicius Jr., who replaced Rodrygo in the second half, continued to show his true identity by scoring a goal in the match. He is truly irreplaceable. It would be a shame to waste Vinicius Jr.'s quality. We must remember the era before Mbappe arrived. Yes, during Benzema's time at Real Madrid, but Benzema was injured that season, and Vini Jr. stood up and contributed greatly to Real Madrid's title triumph that season. Even in the UCL, Rodrygo hasn't been able to match Vinicius Jr.'s level, nor Mbappe's. But Rodrygo also has the potential to continue developing even better.

Liverpool is currently being tested. Their competition for the Premier League title will certainly be tough. Almost every team has strengthened their squads. This will undoubtedly make it difficult for Liverpool to defend their Premier League title. This new season, however, sees the strong performances of several teams, such as Tottenham and Chelsea, making it difficult for Arne Slot to improve the performance of all Liverpool players, given the increasingly fierce competition.

Hmm... yes, Newcastle will certainly strive to beat Liverpool, and they will certainly be confident in their victory against Liverpool. However, I think I'll bet on a Liverpool victory in this match.

Speaking of Arsenal, I can't yet be certain whether they will be crowned champions this season, as it's early in the season, and, as you mentioned, there are many strong teams, which will certainly make things confusing.
I'm also going to try to believe Liverpool can win today's match against Newcastle. Although it's a difficult match to predict, if Liverpool are at their best, they're likely to win.

And since we're early in the season, the outcome could be the opposite. Newcastle could win. Therefore, I don't think we should bet big early in the season. It's riskier than a few weeks later.

Many matches have gone against expectations. For example, the draw between Fulham and Manchester United has made me, and perhaps you too, start to doubt whether Manchester United will truly bounce back this season.

Fabregas is indeed an excellent coach. I truly admire his loyalty to Como. He has rejected several offers from other clubs just to stay at Como. Last season, Como relied on a predominantly older squad, but the results were still impressive. Now, Como has a slightly younger squad, and the results have truly exceeded my expectations. Even statistically, I thought Lazio was a weak team, while Como appeared to be a very strong team.



It's clearly a good start to the season for Como. But it's the opposite for Lazio.
It's been a great start for Como, but how they continue is also important. They comfortably beat a tough opponent in the first match. I hope they can show a similar performance in the remaining matches. The league needs change now. We're all delighted to see a new, great team. I hope Como's impressive performance continues until the end of the season. Regarding Fabregas, he proved to us last year that he was a good manager, and he's striving to be even better this year. In my opinion, the Italian league is one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Como, you can succeed here, and that's the result of great determination.
Como must prove that their first-leg victory against Lazio wasn't just luck or coincidence. The way to prove it is by playing just as well in the second leg against a formidable Bologna side. If Como can maintain the same level of play as they did against Lazio, then beating Bologna shouldn't be a major problem. But if Como fails and even loses in the second leg, then they'll be just like any other average team. They sometimes play well in one game and then poorly in the next. Inconsistency is always a problem for any average team. But for a strong team, consistency can always be maintained. Still, seeing Lazio lose without scoring a goal is truly un-Lazio-like.

The season started very poorly, losing at home to Cremonese, whose overall strength isn't much better than AC Milan. I highlighted AC Milan's defense in this match, which I felt was very poor, resulting in a lack of organization.
However, there's no judgment on the first match, although I do have some doubts about AC Milan's prospects for this season. Massimiliano Allegri still has plenty of time to bounce back.
When it comes to disappointment, everyone who supports and has high hopes for AC Milan will undoubtedly be disappointed with the result. But that was just the first match, and it often doesn't determine the overall outcome of the season. We need to see more of AC Milan's matches this season before making a final judgment.

Honestly, I initially had high hopes for AC Milan, but now I'm starting to have doubts about them. However, I hope AC Milan can improve in the coming matches. And I still believe Allegri can do it.

Once again, Al-Nassr failed to win the trophy. Even though it was only the Saudi Super Cup, Al-Nassr still came close to winning it. However, they were defeated because Al-Ahli fought hard and continued to score goals in regulation time, leaving the score level at the end of regulation and extra time. The match went to a penalty shootout.

I didn't watch the match from the beginning. But in the second half, I saw both teams play equally well. Al-Nassr had more chances, but some were not capitalized on. Al-Nassr's defense was also quite weak, although not as weak as last season.

Al-Nassr lost the penalty shootout, allowing Al-Ahli to win this competition. Congratulations to Al-Ahli.
It's actually not surprising to see Al-Ahli win the final. It's not that I think Al-Ahli are stronger than Al-Nassr, but I think we've noticed since last season that Al-Ahli were like a different team when they reached the final and played in the final.

We remember in the AFC Asian Cup last season, Al-Ahli even beat Al-Hilal in the semifinals. And then in the final, we saw Al-Ahli beat Kawasaki Frontale. Their mentality always seems to be better in competitions other than the SPL itself. In the SPL, we often see Al-Ahli being inconsistent. But in other competitions, Al-Ahli really can't be underestimated. Their strength is difficult to overcome. I'm sad that Al-Nassr failed again. But I think both teams fought well.

Everton could not take three points home in their first game against Leeds but are readily correcting their mistakes as they are dealing Brighton a hard hand. Jack Grealish has gotten his second assist for his new club and I'm sure that many are awaiting the time when he'd have his debut goal.
It's an amazing time for him and I hope that he'd be able to do well at the new club and not be so injury prone because if there was anything that killed his form back at Man City was just the fact that he kept getting sidelined due to injury.
At least he can show more of his abilities there. And I think in the last two weeks, all the matches have become difficult to predict. I didn't even expect Everton, who lost in the first week, to win in the second. Even now, the match is almost over, entering the 90th minute, but Everton is still able to maintain their two-goal lead.

It seems like we can't underestimate any team in this new season. Unexpected results seem to be on the rise. For example, Manchester City lost to Tottenham, and Aston Villa lost to Brentford.

After this match, we'll see Fulham vs. Manchester United. I hope Manchester United can win fairly comfortably.
