It reminds me a lot of the era in which teams bought old glories, Milan has always done so, it reminds me a lot of when they bought Ronaldo the phenomenon, that was a transfer coup where they bought a player who was already old and ruined just for his name, these are not purchases even remotely comparable to Modric obviously, but I had the same vibes

Jackson was among the average players that was bought by the former coach of Chelsea and since that time, I haven't seen any significant impact that he has made in order for the club to achieve success. This is the main reason why I am against the swap of Gnarcho to Jackson because it's like moving from fry pan to fire. He has been given several opportunities to make a difference but he couldn't.

Rashford will certainly have a lot to prove at Barcelona, but I have always seen this player as someone who can give a lot to this team, even when he played at Manchester United he was never fully understood in my opinion, It's an excellent purchase and will give you a lot of satisfaction.

If in fact things with Juve have to be better for this session because I personally have seen that the teams are getting in very good shape, reinforcing themselves above all, but Juve have history and with the money that was not much that they won in the World Cup they have to make very good purchases, AC Milan have already taken Modric, he is a great player, he will give another vision to football in the team, Juve must look for new blood to refresh.

Manchester United is one of the big teams in the Premier League and we cannot only see a season with bad performance so that it will not survive in the English League.
Even in such a bad appearance last season shown by Manchester United I didn't think they would be degraded.
There are many changes made by the coach slowly and I am sure this season will be much better than the previous season.
People see Chelsea doing well because they are based on their performance when they beat PSG at the Club World Cup but it is not enough to guarantee that Chelsea will be much better when competing for titles in the league.

Finally, speculation about Osimhen future has been clarified, with Galatasaray successfully securing the Nigerian striker permanent transfer. I believe Osimhen will have a significant impact on Galatasaray, a deal many have long anticipated.
Many had hoped for Osimhen to move to the Premier League. Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea had previously been linked with him, but in the end, Galatasaray secured his signature. Perhaps Osimhen will try his luck in the Premier League in the future, I think it's worth a try.

Rodrygo has to find another team, there's nothing that can be done, they've decided that way, it's a shame because he's a really strong player in my opinion and replacing him will be really difficult, then I'm very curious to see who they intend to replace him with

This reminds me of the time when Zidane coached Real Madrid and they won the UCL three times in a row. Many said Zidane wasn't a genius coach, but he was lucky to coach Real Madrid alongside the prime Ronaldo. His passing tactics to Ronaldo became a topic of conversation on social media at the time. But what's not known is that teams with star players usually have big egos. Everyone wants to be the main character, and that's what can make a team with many star players fail. But Zidane was able to overcome each player's ego so they could play collectively. Real Madrid currently also has many star players, especially in the attack. Mbappé and Vini are two of the best strikers in the world today. They have big egos to score goals, become top scorers, and win individual trophies because they have the ability to do so. This will be Xabi's first job: to make Real Madrid play more collectively as a team, rather than individually.

I think Manchester United is experiencing shortages of funds, if not they would have be the first team to start signing those talented players Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams in the premier League  signed against next season. Even though Manchester United coach is not going to sign many players in this pre-season, it will be good for them to replace their goalkeeper Onana to see how next season performance will look like because he contributed some of the things that made Manchester United not to win any title last season, next season competition will definitely going to be interesting because there are some teams, people can't wait to see their performance before praising their coach for the wise decision to have such players in their team.

But let's be factual here, how many opportunities has Rashford been given over the years and what improvement has he brought to the team and himself at large? He was induced into the first team around 2016 if I am not mistaken and till date Rashford still hasn't improved in his style of play at least.

After failing at the club world cup, Bellingham is set to end its shoulder woes. Reportedly he will take a long break for shoulder surgery that has been suffered for almost 2 years. This condition is certainly an additional strength vulnerability. I don't know how many weeks Bellingham will rest, but I think he won't be able to start playing for the start of the season but prediction is October. But they do have a lot of cover although they still don't have much experience and hours in La Liga. Xabi still has Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos.

Wow, is that how you have concluded it? So how about other seasons where Spanish teams dominated all of Europe beating all teams across all the leagues that came their way? Have you forgotten about that so easily? PSG won the Champions League and beat EPL teams before getting to the finals. They beat Manchester City in the group stages, eliminated Liverpool in Round 16, eliminated Aston Villa in Quarter finals, eliminated Arsenal in the Semi finals. What will you then say about this?

Real Madrid have incredible players but we don't see them winning titles previous season, they struggled and couldn't bend their way towards glory. Maybe they can try again next season. Real Madrid manager, Xabi Alonso is a basic coach, he knows what he's doing and just getting acquainted with the game pattern.

Rodrygo is a big seasoned player who have been underrated in most big games but he still manage to turn up and make the changes. Who doesn't admire the playing style of Rodrygo in Real Madrid? Let's not conclude because he's still very vibrant and have become one of the most important played for his side, always coming infront of goal to score.

Well, we shouldn't overstate this. Even though Enzo has been successful this season, it's not impossible that he won't be successful next season. However, if he can continue his performance for the next few seasons, then he's a coach who could approach Pep's achievements, or even surpass him. It's hard to find someone equal to Pep. Pep wasn't just successful at Manchester City, he was also successful at his previous clubs. And it's rare for a coach to consistently achieve success at several clubs. So, to be on par with Pep, Enzo must succeed not only at Chelsea but also at other clubs someday, just as Pep has done at several previous clubs.

Juventus has made some signings so far. 2 CBs, a RW and a CF. Nico González and Jonathan David are the ones stepping forward among them. And of course I should add that Juventus signed Di Gregorio permanently in the meantime.

I love especially the signing of Jonathan David.    He was like the best option they could have got for free. He is still 25 so he can contribute at high level for many years. I don't expect him to turn out to be like Vlahovic.

If the player realizes the importance of a team collectively then I am sure this will be the basis for the need to work together.
Individual success will be obtained if all players are concerned with the team because in this way they can achieve success.
But sometimes there are one or two players who look a little selfish because they are too forced from scoring goals even though the chances are small.
Vinicius and Mbappe may have been in these conditions because they are both on the front lines so they are more prominent at that time they did.

That's the biggest shock for PSG, because they felt that they have already won the trophy after they  kicked out so many big clubs but not strong. Chelsea proved to the world that they are in form and currently as dangerous like PSG. Most of the Chelsea fans had the confidence that Chelsea can defeat PSG, but majority didn't bet on Chelsea to win.

This PSG team isn't the type of team Chelsea should play the bus and wait for a penalty shootout because the PSG team knows how to break and penetrate their opponents defense, and if Chelsea adopts that strategy, PSG will beat Chelsea easily. Attack is the best form of defense, so I expect Chelsea to play attacking football against PSG so that all the pressure will not be on them.

But it is not a fact that he will be on the bench all the time, I think Alonso will take into account that the player has not left the club and is still available to play, yes, he can change tactics, not put the player in the main squad if he is not needed, but he may be useful sooner or later, so he may be useful. But he'd better find a club where he can play full time

Xabi has just taken charge of the team. He played one official match at the CWC. Furthermore, some of the players who played there won't be with the team next year, such as Luka Modrić. Therefore, the Spanish manager will need to analyze the team thoroughly and manage Real Madrid in the best way possible to achieve success in the new year. I'm one of those who think Real Madrid will be successful next year. They can be ahead of Barcelona, but the players need to play with each other and build bonds, and of course, they won't have to waste too many individual chances like last year.
