Ataman offers Euroleague solution: Let’s finish the season in one location

The strategist of the current management team, and at the same time last year’s Euroleague Basketball finalist, Anadolu Efes of Constantinople, Ergin Ataman, calls on the competition management to seriously consider the possibility of finishing the season in one location. “The matches would, of course, be played without the presence of spectators but with a television broadcast for the whole world,” Ataman says, among other things.

By the end of the regular season in the elite Euroleague Basketball, there are six more competition rounds left, and last year’s finalist, Anadolu Efes of Constantinople, who is well led by local expert Ergin Ataman, is in the lead.

The temperamental 54-year-old has called on Euroleague executives, led by President Jordi Bertomeu, to consider proposing that the regular part of the competition as well as the playoffs be played in one location. “There are countries in Europe that have not been affected as much by the coronavirus epidemic as by the others. I am thinking, above all, of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece and Croatia as well,” Ataman said in a Turkish media interview, which sees further steps in the impeccable organization of teams and logistics at the arrival stage. “I must first emphasize that such decisions will have to wait until the end of May. I do not believe that the Euroleague management will go down before that date. If we make an agreement to deal with the season in one location, then special air services will have to be organized with the aim of providing the highest level of security for the teams. It should be housed in one, at most two hotel complexes, and the matches would be played without the presence of spectators but with live television broadcasts throughout the world, “said the strategist of the currently leading team of the most elite club basketball team. competitions in Europe and at the end added:

“Sports will play a very important role in the coming months. People are already tired and fed up with watching movies, sequels and playing video games. So we have to strive to find the most optimal way to revive sports. If that happened, then the teams would need at least three to four weeks of preparation before the season goes on. I think the Euroleague should follow the messages and decisions of the European Football Federation (UEFA), which does these things tactfully and with the right degree of feeling. “

Tottenham will not sell Khan to a Premier League club

London based Tottenham striker and captain Harry Kane, despite rumors of a move to Manchester United, is unlikely to leave this summer, according to the BBC. If there is a transfer in the next transfer deadline, however, the Spurs should want to avoid selling to any of the rivals from the domestic championship.

“Tottenham Hotspur does not intend to allow striker Harry Khan, who would not sell it to any of its domestic rivals, this summer,” they wrote on the BBC’s BBC public website. Harry Kane has signed a new six-year contract with Tottenham in 2018, and in a few recent statements, the 26-year-old England national has at least a little doubt that he will stay so long in his native North London.

After saying he would not “stay at any cost” at the club, information has also emerged that club president Daniel Levy, who is known as one of the toughest negotiators in the football world, would be ready to sell for around £ 200 million (€ 228.6 million). Ever since his spurs in the Spurs, where he has established himself as one of the most efficient and desirable midfielders in the world, he has been linked with a move to Manchester United.

The compensation should be record

Levy was also among the first Premier League club presidents to speak publicly that people should “wake up” and “be aware of the magnitude of the crisis” caused by the pandemic of the new coronavirus. Tottenham sent more employees on hold shortly after all competitions ceased, and due to financial concerns (Spurs invested huge amounts of money in the construction of the new stadium), Khan’s transfer was at least a little more likely than before the crisis.

“Levy would turn the green light on Khan’s sale if the offer reached the world record of £ 200m paid by Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona to buy Brazilian striker Neymar in 2017,” the BBC adds, but warns that before the leak opens Due to the current situation across Europe, it is difficult to predict what kind of “financial headache” awaits the biggest clubs of the old continent in the summer.

Klopp: When we first met, I thought he was a rapper

One of the best football experts in the world, Jürgen Klopp, admitted, among other things, that his first date with an otherwise remarkable Senegalese striker, Sadi Mane, was anything but ordinary.

Being a fun-loving and relaxed 52-year-old German strategist at a temporary job in Liverpool has proven many times in his rich coaching career. Last but not least, Jurgen Klopp’s press conferences ahead of the English National Championships and the Champions League are a real event for the release, not just a formal performance of duty from either side.

One of the latest interesting anecdotes from a charismatic football expert from Stuttgart is related to a member of his Anfield team, the brilliant striker Sadi Mane, whose professional career first crossed with Klopp years ago when he was the first coach of Dortmund Borussia and the second a member of the Austrian Red Bull Salzburg.

“We met Sadi (Mane, op. P.) For the first time years ago in Dortmund. I remember very well, as if it was yesterday that he wore a baseball cap with a visor, which by the way he still has today. In the first for a moment he acted like a real gangster, a rapper … I thought, ‘I don’t have time for that.’ Although they wanted to buy it in Borussia, I was not sure of it myself. Because our team at that time was of high quality and did not need reinforcement I needed someone who would have no trouble getting into the game from the bench, “the Reds coach recalled on his first meeting with an excellent Senegalese while talking, adding:

“For myself, I would say that I have a well-developed sense of appreciation for people, but I have to be completely honest and admit that I was a fair fit in Sadie’s case. I have been following his development since he played in the Salzburg jersey and now for four years we have been working very successfully in England. It was a great move for the club management to get him from Southampton. He wanted to work with me too, so it was a win-win combination. “

Thomas Muller extends his contract with Bayern

On Friday, the record champions Bayern Munich extended the contract with trainer Hansi Flick. Another important person followed on Tuesday. The veteran Thomas Müller will stay with Bayern until 2023.

FC Bayern plans for the future. After the contract extension with trainer Hansi Flick on Friday, veteran Thomas Müller also signed a new contract on Tuesday. As with Flick, the contract is valid until 2023. The club confirmed this on its website.

Müller: Bayern was “number one priority”

Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is quoted there as follows: “I am pleased that Thomas Müller has extended his contract by another two years until June 30, 2023. I would like to contact Thomas and his advisor Ludwig Kögl for the very trusting and Thank you very much for the fair discussions. Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić did a great job. ”

Müller himself also commented on his contract extension: “Both sides signed with an absolutely good feeling. I am sure that if the ball rolls again, we will continue to be very successful. That spurs me on,” said Müller. “For me it was number one priority to extend at Bayern – and the club saw it the same way,” said the 100-time ex-international.

Müller switched to FC Bayern in summer 2000 at the age of ten. The 2014 world champion won eight championship titles with the Munich team, five DFB trophies and 2013 Champions League winner.

FIFA Dates Online Gamblers’ Hell

Yes, I know that someone who is reading now will say that he likes the national team competitions and more, that he profits from the disputes. I don’t doubt anyone’s perception.

But have you really listed your bets and calculated your ROI for this type of competition? Or is it just a perception?

This type of image can be very misleading. Simply because we remember the bets we win more than the bets we lose. Therefore, the image of the winnings can pass on a false perception to the bettor.

My concern here is not merely sporting, that is, only if these dates harm teams, as this is already settled: FIFA Dates only harm teams and clubs. But my focus will be on how it disrupts players’ lives.
European championships

Injuries: This is the most obvious consequence. How many times have we not seen key players go to serve their selections in the most weird friendlies in the world and come back with serious injuries.

Ah plus FIFA or UEFA pays the injured person’s salary. It doesn’t matter to us gamblers. What matters is the instability that the absence of these injured players brings to our analysis.

The recalculation of the team’s potential and capacity within our method will change completely in the absence of important players.

But in addition to injuries, we should talk about wear and tear. As FIFA dates are increasingly tucked in the middle of a season that has no dates left, players are exposed to a wear and tear that ends up in their performance within the teams.

That in betting is even worse. Because calculating the absence of an injured player is more straightforward and scalable. But calculating the influence of a blown-out and worn-out player who plays the game is much more subtle and complicated.

That is why FIFA Dates, in addition to bringing serious injuries, still wear out the most important players for an already scorching season.

Breaking pace and focus of the teams:

Soccer players are not robots. They are human beings who, despite being professionals, are subject to all kinds of human feelings.

Imagine Liverpool focused on defending their title in the Champions League and with even more focus on winning back the Premier League that is a dream of the cheerleaders and athletes.

The team manages to open an advantage of 8 points over its great competitor. Suddenly, everything stops. And the focus is on the national teams.

Each of those athletes will serve their teams with other motivations, other commanders, other tactical schemes, other environments, other positions.

There are 15 days with a slow pace, few training sessions and a forgetfulness of your reality in the club. After that, the players return and are soon thrown to the lions of their national competitions and must return to the previous focus. Some may find this insignificant. But it is not.

There is a complete break in the competitive rhythm that moves the teams and the clubs a lot. Consequently, it affects us and our betting methods, which sometimes have extreme difficulty in capturing this break in the clubs. It is no secret that there are many strange results on the FIFA pre-date journey and on the post FIFA date journey.

All of our analytical work that was being carried out with the aim of fine-tuning the method in the study of teams and competitions suffers a very big break both in the exit and in the re-entry.

A good example of the potential break in rhythm and focus happened recently when striker Paolo Guerrero called for Peru to be recalled to stay focused on the dispute for the Brazilian cup semifinal by Internacional.

South American championships

In South American championships the scope of the harm is different for each country.

Most of them stop at FIFA Dates and suffer from the same problems observed in Europe, such as a break in pace, a change in the focus of the teams, injury to players, and changes and deformations of all sorts that we have already discussed in the point above.

But some countries like Brazil and its wonderful football confederation (CBF) do not stop at FIFA dates and to make matters worse the coach of the national team Tite decided to call on several key athletes from the main teams in the country.

Soon, the teams that are looking for the title, or looking for a place in the next Libertadores end up missing their own selection and are without their main athletes in at least two or three rounds of the Brasileirão.

The gravity of this is so great that it can end up influencing even in the competition title dispute.
But is it not possible to profit from FIFA dates and national teams?

Yes, it is possible. But it seems to me much more complicated to apply a method in search of value in the circumstances in which FIFA Dates are distributed.

First, the games take place only a few times a year under very unique conditions. There is no continuity, no linearity, which is essential for any bettor to create technical projections for their bets.

Games, summonses and events end up becoming unique events in themselves without offering parameters of comparison or providing the bettor with the analysis of variables so necessary to any method.
In this type of short shooting event, the study space and variables are very restricted.

In most friendlies, for example, there is no superiority factor. In qualifications for World Cups or Euro selections do not always have their maximum strength, there are often experiments. We are not always able to nuance the conditions in which games are played. The motivation, the interest.

In addition, the teams are teams with little routine and interaction. The players get together very little and the formation of a team is always much more complicated.

The technicians themselves complain about that.

Daily work is absent in this type of work and the teams get together in a busy way with a few days to spare and unable to even train. How many times have we not seen a team go to a game with just one training session or even without training?

Without the sense of continuity present in a League, for example, isolated factors can take over sporting events and completely take away the exceptional standard that we are used to with the teams they play together every week.

Some may question, for example, about continental competitions such as Libertadores, Champions League and Europa League, which are tournaments that occur seasonally and do not offer the continuity present in national leagues.

In my view this is an empty objection. National team days and Champions are completely different things.

The teams in the Champions League are the same, interest is preponderant and there is no structural break that exists in FIFA Dates when clubs dissolve in favor of national teams that are losing their meaning.

Therefore, the possibilities of appearing worthwhile odds even exist, however, the conditions for bettors to identify these odds through their methods is a much more complicated mission.

It is not surprising, therefore, to see bettors taking a break from betting during this period of competition.

What should we do?

I am a conservative gambler so I advise caution on the damn FIFA dates. More than that, I advise even more care in the returns of national leagues after a FIFA date.

As I tried to demonstrate this type of isolated event, it causes a lot of disturbance in the sports reality now analyzed by us and by our betting methods and this can be fatal in the search for value and in obtaining profit.

Players and teams cannot be treated like robots and all the dynamics of the journey, change of motivation, change of focus, change of pace and return of pace are fundamental issues that we need to analyze when betting.

FIFA Dates are terrible and it is up to us to take measures to prevent this type of event from getting in the way of the already complicated task of making a profit on sports betting.
