I don't know for sure but I think Ronaldo is still without a major success in the Saudi Professional League, isn't he? I am not talking about his individual trophies as best goal scorer, but did he win any important titles there so far? I remember when I thought that Al Nassr must be the Saudi super power club when they bought all these players, but it looks as if the league is more equal among the teams than I thought at first. He probably isn't too happy about Al Nassr's overall performance, but his salary probably dries the tears. 
Is he that broke that he should be chasing after money at this stage of his career. He's supposed to be creating a legacy and I think he realized that now therefore, him leaving the club should be under considering if he doesn't win any major silverware this season. His mates are winning things and increasing their achievements and if he's still after the money, then he's slowing turning into a loser which isn't something Ronaldo is known for. He needs to be at his best for the next world cup because he now has a team that have a chance of winning it therefore, hok playing at his very best is very important right now than before.
Ronaldo has built a legacy for himself long ago. You could argue both ways, but the truth is that he is still collecting goals as he wants to be the first striker going above 1,000 career goals. I think he will be able to do that unless he gets injured or something, but that is not very likely.
If someone has $500 million in the bank account and then gets offered $200 million per year, it still makes sense to accept that offer. He could make as much money again in two years that he made in 20 years before that. And not to forget that he isn't risking anything, he is going out there and doing what he loves the most while making the most money possible. That is not about chasing money in the sense that he needs to do it. He is doing it because he CAN do it. I don't think he would be doing it for $50 million per year, but $200 million per year plus all the extras and benefits coming with that contract? He couldn't say no to that.
What an amazing judgment here. Because Real Madrid won the game only 1-0 and because you say that the coach before him has done better, Alonso is not serious about this job. This is a forum or here it is a topic for La Liga fans and I have an idea what people must be thinking when they read a post like this. As if anyone takes on a job at Real Madrid without being serious. Those two things are mutually exclusive to begin with.
It's unwise to say Xabi Alonso isn't doing a good job at Real Madrid and still be quick to say so.
A 1-0 win isn't an excuse for saying so, as it still takes time for Xabi Alonso to find his best rhythm in managing the team.
The results haven't been optimal, and Xabi Alonso still has a lot of work to do, but judgment shouldn't be rushed.
Coaching a big team like Real Madrid isn't easy, as the pressure is much greater.
It takes time to get a handle on the situation, and I'm sure Xabi Alonso will gradually improve.
I wasn't saying that. I was answering a post when in which it was said that Alonso is doing worse than his predecessor and that Alonso is not serious about his job, which doesn't make sense of course.
However I think that Alonso won't have an easy time at Real Madrid at all. He has a few names that read like the best of the best and Mbappe is one of those players, but the whole composition of the team is not the best in my opinion. I am looking forward to Alonso trying to find the best formation for that team and the best overall tactics.
Real Madrid had a time when they were perfectly instructed and every player filled a particular role in the game, but now they lack some qualities and they have redundancies, like Mbappe and Vinicus Junior being very similar players.
The scoreline actually deserves a woooow. Nothing I had expected as this result dismissed my expectations. Tottenham Hotspurs attackers are really doing a beautiful job in this game. Although the game hasn't ended yet it still has 45 minutes for more actions and Manchester City can probably equalize the scores because I don't really trust Tottenham Hotspur after watching them lose to PSG from their 2 goals up. If City could get an early goal in the second half then they can at least get an equaliser.
Man City still dominates the match, but in terms of chances created, both sides are not far apart. Tottenham leading by 2 goals already shows the progress they have made. They do not play like they did last season. Or perhaps Man City is still going through a tough time. There is still time, and maybe Man City can score a goal; otherwise, they might face criticism.
They are a possession team, but they don't have the same versatility they had more than a year ago. When Manchester City plays the exact same all the time, it is easy for their opponents to anticipate the next move. See how they have problems creating chances for themselves despote players like Foden. They have the ball all the time and carry it to the box and then you can see how they can't come up with the final perfect pass. I doubt it is a lack of movement because Pep Guardiola understands how to instruct his players. For that reason I believe that they need more tahn just one single strategy. Tottenham knew what to do to suppress Manchester City attacks and as soon as teams like Tottenham are able to convert their small number of chances into goals, Manchester City can quickly be screwed. Tottenham just served the league the right game plan.
Al Ahly denied Ronaldo his second official trophy, and honestly, I felt disappointed about that. With the kind of players Al Nassr has now, I didn't expect them to lose in this Saudi Super final. I know Al Ahly is also a strong team, and both teams showed equal performance, but I had high expectations for Al Nassr to win this match. However, it ended in a penalty shootout, and Al Nassr's weakness in midfield affected their game. The absence of Sadio Mané also contributed to their loss. Cristiano Ronaldo put in effort to help the team win this trophy, but luck wasn't on their side but that's football, hard luck to them.
I don't know for sure but I think Ronaldo is still without a major success in the Saudi Professional League, isn't he? I am not talking about his individual trophies as best goal scorer, but did he win any important titles there so far? I remember when I thought that Al Nassr must be the Saudi super power club when they bought all these players, but it looks as if the league is more equal among the teams than I thought at first.

Due to the high and low price, there is a higher chance of loss than profit in a short-term investment. Even if there is some people make profit in short time investment but it is much less compared to long-term profit. In the bull run of 2013, the price of Bitcoin was aprox $1100 and then it came down to $200. Those who sold in a short time lost money. But those who invested for more than 5 years at that time made many times more profit. A similar situation was seen during the bull run of 2017.
Usually if a guy started investing in bitcoin towards the top, he would have had ended up bring ing down his average cost per BTC a lot if he continued to buy for something like 5 years, or even if may be he bought for 3 years on a weekly basis with a combination of DCA and perhaps lump sum buying during times that he might come across extra money. He could also buy on dips, though it may not necessarily make much difference if he might be regularly buying... and just riding out the wave... so even a guy who came into bitcoin towards the top at $1,100, he may could have had an average cost per BTC around $400 to $600 by the time 2017 came. Similar a guy who might have had started buying bitcoin around $19k in 2017 might have had still ended up with an average cost of BTC that is around $7k to $8k by the time he gets through 2020.
I suspect the less disposable income people have, the more they feel inclined "to time the market perfectly". Yes they should not do that because without a good portion of luck, nobody is going to time it perfectly. But it is this desire to see their holdings grow in dollar value more quickly.
Sure if you are a billionaire and you invest a sum of money and it goes up 30%, you still have reasons to celebrate your BTC position. I understand it is not quite the same for someone starting with $1000. But this is exactly where they should set themselves free this thought process. In a few years time, if they invest continuously and once simply decided to get started, 30% changes will begin to matter.
After all the idea that "low" % increases for those with less money have no impact on their holdings eventually applies to any type of investment they choose to make. But if they are looking for an asset that has high potential to give them enormous compound effects over time, they would still make a very comprehnsible decision to get started with BTC as of today. Not everyone will need Amazon or Apple shares in their lives ever, but I would not rule out that everyone will one day need at least a little bit of BTC for whatever purpose. It is a whole different type of investment with a more complex investment hypothesis than any other asset class.
Joao Felix showed his magic this game and then he won't show his magic next game. Maybe he will show it in a few weeks again. That was his habit, the problem that made him dispensable and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona all quickly became tired of his unstable performances. You never know what you get from him and in the SPL this is maybe not a big problem because it isn't as palpable, but in all those other leagues those unstable performances can cost the teams the game. He can't do too much damage to Al Nassr, good he is there now.
Joao Felix is an exceptional player, one of luckiest player to play in top team in Europe because of his ability. He is a team player, and a creative midfielder, i will always play him in my team if i was a coach. He might not have the stamina to play 90 minutes but he will also make an impact on the field. If watch him Chelsea he did well, in Premier league if you do not have the stamina you can not play well. His move to Saudi Arabia was influenced by Ronaldo, because he want him to be fit for the world cup in 2026, and he is adapting fast in the Alnassr. from the pre season games, he was the man to watch. If he continue in this form, Alnassr will win the title this season, they defeated the league title defending champion yesterday with 10 men. Felix scored brace put one goal was ruled out because of Ronaldo build up foul.
This is a long way to go for Joao Felix to take a place in the national team from someone else who is probably playing for one of the best teams in Europe.
The circumstances for Ronaldo are special, not everyone who plays well in the Saudi Professional League would get a spot in the Portugal national team. But there is a reason that Ronaldo receives special treatment and when you say Joao Felix is an exceptional player, what are you referring to? He couldn't prevail in any of the clubs he played for. Atletico, Chelsea, Barcelona, they all wanted to get rid of him. You could call him an exceptional talent that never became an exceptional player. If you call him that, what would you call really exceptional players like Yamal or Raphinha or Haaland or all the others who play well every week?
He was overpaid and far too expensive for what he has returned to the teams he played for.
<Snip out>.
I don't think Manchester United need to sign a new defender this summer. They've got quite a good number of defenders. The defenders just need to stay fit and be injury-free. What they do need is a goalkeeper and a midfielder to make the team solid. However, with the transfer window coming to an end in less than two weeks, I'm not sure they can make it happen. It's most likely they would make do with what they've got and continue reinforcement in the next window.A defender wouldn't hurt them, but in the last game they conceded one goal against Arsenal, which I think is still acceptable and not a sign of a broken defense. Their game in the offense wasn't good enough to overcome Arsenal and that on the other hand didn't have much to do with how Manchester United's defense did in that match.
Perhaps their midfield is a little bit too offensive at times as they don't have a midfielder who likes to overtake important tasks in the defense. But so far it has been one match, I will still give it a few weeks and see how good they really are.
It's really funny reading that some persons are criticising Alonso after the match against Osasuna. It's just one match, for crying out loud, and it's not as if they lost the match. I could remember last season when Mbappe didn't score in his first four or five matches and critics branded him a failure. However, he ended up being the highest scorer in the league. My point is, it's too early to criticise Alonso. He's a new coach, and he's still getting to know his players and the league.
Alonso is not serious because when a new coach is assigned then the job is to do better than the formal coach and since Alonso became the coach there have not been any improvement and even mbappe is not doing well there need to be a lot of things to be figured. And there game against Osasuna actually did not make people trust Madrid because there Madrid is not given us that satisfaction and it got to a point were Madrid will try to score when they are playing and maybe because we expected to much from even Alonso and there are also new coaches that am sure will do better than him if given the opportunity.
What an amazing judgment here. Because Real Madrid won the game only 1-0 and because you say that the coach before him has done better, Alonso is not serious about this job. This is a forum or here it is a topic for La Liga fans and I have an idea what people must be thinking when they read a post like this. As if anyone takes on a job at Real Madrid without being serious. Those two things are mutually exclusive to begin with.
Given Real Madrid performance in this match, it is understandable that fans feel disappointed, as expectations for Real Madrid are very high. However, regardless of the circumstances, the most important thing is the victory itself. Securing three points is better than ending in a draw or even a loss, especially since this is still the first match, and there are many more to come. Moving forward, Xabi Alonso task as coach is to quickly improve both the effectiveness of the attack and the defensive line. I am confident that the players at Real Madrid are exceptional, the key lies with Alonso to figure out how to maximize the performance of each player.
But at least they won the match with a penalty even though their performance was bad, they would use the win to courage themselves and all what they need to do is to do well in their next games. But really for Real Madrid to under perform with Osasuna was not a good thing. Real Madrid would have scored a clean goal. Let see their next game to know what will happen in this season. Let not judge them for now because it is too early to judge them. I have seen a football team loss their first game and yet they won the tournament Cup. So Real Madrid can perform well in their next matches.
That is the only bit left over from that game, it was a win. It is no more than that, it was one of the worst Real Madrid games they could imagine for a first game at home. There next games won't be too hard, which gives them some time to improve upon their shortcomings from the first game.
I looked at the La Liga schedule and found that Barcelona has to play three games on the road. That is not normal, but good for them if they win them all and then can look forward to many games in their home stadium.
Jao Felix showed his magic in Al Nassr in the pre-season Super Cup.
It's a compensatory win for Al Nassr against Al Ittihad in the Super Cup. Al Ittihad is the winner of the last season of Saudi Pro League while Al Nassr had to stay in third.
In this game too, Al Nassr got lucky with the goals. Sadio Mane did his job scoring a great goal in 10th minute but was removedby a Red card. After that, Al Ittihad dominated most of the game but were unable to score. It looked like the whole team of Al Ittihad against 4 or 5 players of Al Nassr.
I'd still say Jao Felix could have done better on European league career wise but he's not getting any less in attention or money even if he stays longer in Saudi teams.

Why is Garnacho actually rejecting Bayern Munich, well maybe he doesn't want to play in Germany and still wants to remain in the premier league. It's understood that Bayern Munich wanted him as reported some few hours ago but he has turned down the offer and said he only wants a move to the Stamford bridge or nowhere else. Wow, his picked Chelsea, it's either Chelsea or he remains at Manchester United.
I think his desire to stay in the Premier League demonstrates his ambition to become a big star in the future. He's still very young, and his performance will reach its peak in a few years. In the meantime, he seems to want to stay with Premier League teams, experience intense match play, and achieve success in Europe. Bayern would also be a great fit for him, but I like that he's determined
He could realize the ambition to become a big star if he went to Bayern Munich, but his considerations were of another kind. He knows that Bayern Munich wanted Luis Díaz so badly and as far as I know, Luis Díaz is playing his position. If he talked to the Manchester United coach and got the promise that he will get his time to play there, it would be high risk for him to go to Bayern Munich and perhaps lose the competition with Luis Díaz and only get a few minutes per game and not many games at all. That is why it is not always the smartest decision to immediately follow an offer from the most competitive clubs. If he wants to play and understands that this is what helps him make the progress he needs to become a top player, staying in Manchester can be his best decision. He is only 21, ample of time to still go to Bayern Munich or others.

Congrats to you brave souls who took Real to win by 1 goal, hats off to you.
Brave souls...
They understood better than the rest of us how bad Real Madrid is. Playing at Bernabeu stadium their first game with the best team possible and they know it must be a close result. jeremypwr, Da_silva and mitchr4, those are the points that feel the best. Nearly nobody has that answer and you win a big point. But getting back to that game, I think this is not what anyone in Madrid thought would happen against Osasuna. They needed a penalty to finally win. Good luck Alonso, I heard unemployment insurance is not the best in Spain.

A step ahead in this round even though it was a tight race; @Dump3er was the leader and should have maintained his position, but unfortunately, I was lucky to get a win in this round.
We go again next round; Note3 be ready to take the challenge.
We go again next round; Note3 be ready to take the challenge.
I liked my position so much and you took some important point from me.
Had I won that round, I think seven points ahead of the 3rd and a great score difference would have given a small reason to celebrate. It is still a good position with four points more than 3rd, but now it can turn quickly if I lose two more rounds. Winning is an obligation now. General_Bitcoin, this is probably the most important round for you. It is a six points round as they say. If I win, seven points gap, if I lose it is one point gap. It will be a round full of pressure.
