We start showing the British newspapers from an analytical article for The Times, entitled “Will Donald Trump go to prison? What will happen after he is accused.”
The article begins with what Alina Haba, a lawyer on former US President Donald Trump’s defense team, said, “When your name is Donald Trump, when you advance in the polls, you will be hit hard. But they chose the wrong man. I stand with Trump.”
However, the extent to which Republicans and the American public are willing to do so is uncertain. In the midst of his ongoing legal battles, the latest revelations may prove most threatening to his bid for the White House.
The newspaper believes that despite Trump’s appearance in court over alleged bribery in exchange for the silence of former pornographic actress Stormy Daniels, “it seemed to many that he was on his own terms, as his aides unleashed a torrent of information, while the indictment he faced remained closed.”
Once again, it is Trump who controls the narrative of the charges he faces in Florida.
The newspaper believes that the charges of violating the Espionage Act and obstructing justice, related to more than 300 classified documents found on his Mar-a-Lago estate, are likely to be more damaging than his appearance in court in New York, not least because the convictions under the Espionage Act usually lead to imprisonment.
The newspaper points out that “there are no legal obstacles to running for president from behind bars.” “It appears that Trump has been preparing his response to the indictment for several days, after his lawyers met with Justice Department officials this week,” she added.
And the newspaper concludes by saying that some believe that the looming legal cases against Trump have raised the hopes of his competitors in winning the nomination, while Frank Luntz, an opinion poll expert, told the newspaper last week, “The consensus among Republicans is that Biden is weaker even than Trump in 2020 and that he deserves Getting the Republican nomination. There’s an equally strong feeling that Trump’s ongoing legal troubles will eventually lead him to that.”

Measures of greatness must change.
And we move on to an article by Barney Ronay, chief sports writer for the Guardian, entitled “Guardiola the best? He changed world football.”
The writer says that Manchester City is the favorite to win the Champions League in the final against Inter Milan, but this match bears the “divisive question” about the status of coach Josep Guardiola among the greats of the game.
And he adds: “Guardiola has been present for nearly half of the current owners’ acquisition of Manchester City, with the exception of the four years he spent building the club according to his philosophy. He has led the team to 11 out of 16 championships. It is no wonder that many of those who watch the biggest television event in The European Sports Year will basically see this as Pep’s story.”
“It’s a question worth asking, albeit without much hope of a reasonable answer. A win in Istanbul would give Guardiola three Champions League titles as a coach.”
The writer approaches Guardiola’s career in looking at his tally of titles, as he ranked fifth in the list of coaches with 34 titles with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City so far.
It also deals with the technical and financial situation of the teams when Guardiola became their coach. According to what is believed, Pep when he coached Barcelona, the Catalan club was the greatest team in the past fifty years, but it is also one of the most powerful teams in economic terms and possesses the greatest player of this era, that is, Argentine Lionel Messi.
Despite winning titles with Bayern Munich, Guardiola only won the championships that Bayern always won before training him.
And now Guardiola has won five league titles with Manchester City in six years, and the team’s performance is close to perfection, according to the writer. However, at the same time, Manchester City is the richest club in the world.
Therefore, if Manchester City win the Champions League, the victory will come against a European giant whose wage bill is 30 percent lower than that of Manchester City. And the writer asks, “How far does this ascent to the top look like the work of a coach?”
Football has never been stratified, says Ronai, and success has never been limited to a group of economically powerful teams.
And the writer considers that “none of this is Pep’s fault. But this means that the measures of greatness must change. This is the final irony in assessing Guardiola’s legacy on the eve of the Champions League final. Because in the end it is not about awards. The main achievements in Guardiola’s career were “Professionalism is cultural and formative. His great teams, despite all available resources, continue to be feats of coaching, chemistry and planning, turning already high-class footballers into embodiments of team brilliance.”
