La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tulusikhlas]

The only real chance I see for Xavi to get back to the top of the table is the fact that the league is not so strong anymore as it used to be a couple of years ago when Atletico and Madrid won literally any game and Barcelona did also. Still, what it really boils down to is whether Xavi will be able to turn the team he has into a competitive squad on the international stage. How will Barcelona perform in the Champions League? This is where I see him failing not because he is a bad coach, but because he just doesn't have the players to beat Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, Mancity and so on.

That's what Xavi is aiming for so that he assigns a lot of tough tasks to his players with enough rules to make everyone not think that Xavi will apply quite an extraordinary training discipline.

The top of the standings is quite far to reach and there is still a lot of improvement overall. Then it will be very difficult to go through this stage. Whether it will be achieved or not, at least Xavi can show a few significant changes for the development of Barcelona.

Barcelona are entering a new age by Xavi's arrival. They finally have made their move and sent Koeman away from the team. It is hard to say whether this was the right thing to do or not. But I'm sure of one thing that their choice about the new coach is quite right. Xavi knows this team very well as he played for them for so many years. He is a legend in the end. And it's time to have more experience here as a coach. I'm looking forward to watching their matches from now on. I expect them to get better slowly every week.

[Slow death]

Xavi Hernandez will make his Barcelona debut in the Catalan derby against Espanyol, one more week and Xavi has plenty of time to decide what composition of players he wants, I want to see if there will be a change in the composition of the players who are fielded or if he keeps the composition of players like the Ronald era Koeman, interestingly Xavi officially got Dani Alves on a free transfer after breaking the contract with Sao Paolo club, is it possible that Dani Alves will become a main player or not.

facing espayol at home, you can say the beginning of the rise of barcelona, ​​and the beginning of xavi's career in coaching barcelona, ​​xavi has proven himself to be the best player in the world, and managed to get many trophies while defending barcelona, ​​now xavi returns to barcelona as a tactician, i am very I'm optimistic that Xavi will be able to bring Barcelona to the top to their glory, because Xavi has proven to be a professional coach, when Xavi coached Al Sadd, I'm sure Xavi can do it.

I am not convinced that Xavi can change so much in Barcelona. Koeman just didn't connect with the team, maybe that is different with Xavi, but the players has available are by not of the quality the players were when he still was part of the Barcelona squad. It is a very different task now. I think the expectations are very high, hopefully not too high as he finds the club in a bad position.

I feel that Xavi will be a hit because the board is behind him, and the player’s know that he’ll raise the bar high with his tactics hence he’s bound to be successful. However I would give him at least 6 months to turn things around, and even if it goes slow for a while then too it’s fine, because I’m sure that he’ll slowly and steadily turn Barcelona back into champions.

I totally agree with you, looking at all the teams in the la liga, it's easy to see that they are not strong, the real sociedad has been very lucky in winning games, the atletico has also been very lucky and the real Madrid despite winning the games they is not good in the long term. in the case of barcelona they can be successful because they will be playing in a very weak la liga compared to past years

I think it is too early to say whether this is a good decision or a bad one. It is certain that this is a big change and a completely new path for the entire team. Xavi was a phenomenal player, but he doesn't necessarily have to be a good coach. Obviously I keep my fingers crossed and I hope it will only improve the team, but the player and the coach thats are two different things, so anything can happen.

Real madrid that monitoring pogba closely for instance as his contract will be expired

Right now teams like Real Madrid have a crop of players that has out grown its youthfulness and Pogba is not their guy in my opinion. If they want to get themselves at the top let them invest in some younger players and use these older lads to help develop the next generation of Real Madrid's football...otherwise Pogba is a good player but Real Madrid isn't his rightful place.

or the next match of the laliga leader real sociedad that facing tough opponent valencia? and try to maintain the position? can we?

Real Sociedad are playing consistently good but fixtures like this one are full of history which makes this game difficult to predict as its a matter of fixture over form but for my prediction am going in for the draw, 2-2!

It is truly the right decision. What for they keep Koeman if the team is getting worse? Barcelona needs a new coach who knows well the team and knows good strategies for modern football style. Xavi has the capacity to change the situation in Barcelona. Although he never managed a club in a top football competition, he can show us a good sign that he has the capacity of a great coach in Al Sadd. Now, since he came to Barcelona, he already started to build a better rule to make the players more discipline and focus to improve their habits. This is a good beginning, I smell promising progress for the players' quality.

Having an improvement from the previous coach even for Barcelona under Xavi's management is enough, but still not fully up to the points of the standings 1 and 2 which are difficult for them to achieve. Maybe Xavi will make a change, in some training as long as he has time to welcome the match against Espanyol the result should be shown.

Only time will tell in the end whether it was the right decision to part with Koeman and appoint Xavi to the post of Barcelona head coach. Let's be objective that Koeman had a difficult situation and there are few chances to get out of it with the least losses. Because the situation in which Koeman came to the club is radically different from the one in which the head coach had to act in the afternoon. Koeman came at the invitation of another president of the club, in which the financial situation looked quite good for everyone and the coach's task was to rejuvenate the squad and start preparing for a gradual reduction in dependence on Messi's game. But the old president is gone, Messi is gone too, the club is in a very difficult financial situation and because of this Barcelona had to part with Griezmann, injuries started. And it is not necessary to compare the coach of such a big club as Barcelona and, for example, the coach of Real Sociedad. They have different resources and tasks , respectively , and a completely different cost of errors .

Which might also be good that they are so far from the top right now. It gives Xavi time to build the team before everyone freaks out because their expectations are not too high. But still it will come down to how Barcelona will do internationally next season. The minimum goal for this season I guess is to qualify for the Champions League. That is a must for a club like Barcelona under any circumstances.

Xavi coaching career is too poor and i will not be surprised if Barcelona results get worse, the main problem is that 70% of the effective was changed from the time when xavi was a player so we will not even see the perfect atmosphere that can make miracles and lead Barcelona to the recover

Xavi Hernandez coaching Career is not too poor I wonder how and where you get your news from,you should go check how good he was at Qater okay ?
Fine,drop a link that says Xavi's tactics are poor at Al Saad, then I'll be on the same side with you@

He will improve the Barcelona team,but with sure take time.

A team is still a team, they have to trust each other, the relationship between the coach and the players can grow morale. I believe if they can re-build something that was delayed to catch up. Seeing the spirit that Xavi has, he is also very serious about bringing Barcelona back to reach the peak of glory. A long process and hard work will produce optimal results.

looks like real Sociedad will win easily against Valencia where they can now be said to have reached the top where they managed to top the La Liga standings by one point ahead of real Madrid, although the team from the capital still have one game left, real Sociedad will definitely can win easily even though only by a narrow score.because they have always appeared consistent in every match they have played this season, meanwhile Valencia also cannot be underestimated where he successfully held Atletico Madrid to a draw at the Estadio mestalla they were ahead by a two-goal margin before Atletico Madrid equalized at the end of the game

[kassex]

What happened with Guardiola and Zidane will not necessarily work for Xavi. The heyday of Xavi and Barcelona began when Guardiola arrived. Before him, Xavi and the team did not succeed. Guardiola managed to reveal the best sides of the players. In addition, Guardiola had finances and could buy the players he needed for the team. Xavi does not have such opportunities. And I don't think Xavi will be able to repeat Guardiola's success. It will take him a long time to gain experience. Are you ready to wait in Barcelona?

He doesn't know crap about what he's saying, but don't be surprised, most people in all these gambling threads don't really know anything, just saying stuff without even knowing, worse, without even gambling.

Also I would like people to stop talking about Xavi and Barca. It's a done deal. Let's focus on the football too, and accept that we can't do anything about the title this season. I hope Suarez and Simeone reclaims it though and not Real, I would die even more inside lol.

As you said, we still have a lot to cover here. Because it's not just about Barcelona and Xavi. Here we also need to pay attention to the movement of Real Sociedad who continued to be the leader of the standings during the year-end season. There are still Real Madrid, Sevilla and those who continue to maintain the 4th place, namely Atletico Madrid who are not willing to be shifted.

So, let's expand the possibilities in the Spanish league, can Barcelona really grow?

[Velvet78]

I guess that Real Madrid are going to be playing one of their easiest games this weekend. We are going to watch them against Granada in an away game. Granada are one of the worst teams of the season so far. But they still scored 11 goals and conceded 16 goals in 12 games they played. This shows that they don't lose by a big gap that easy. But Real Madrid are in a very decent shape nowadays. And when it comes to their last head-to-head which was here, Real Madrid destroyed Granada by 4-1. I wouldn't be surprised if they win by three goals at least again.

If barcelona don't improve their squad this season and only rely on xavi to lift barcelona performance, I have a little doubt if xavi will succeed in making barcelona is developing like a few years ago, right ​​now barcelona problem lies in their squad which is inadequate and has weaknesses in all lines, especially the bottom line and also the attack line which often doesn't look solid in some of their matches.

Your guess might be right because so far Real Madrid have been consistent enough to win away match and now they have won 5 of 7 away match this season. Real Madrid have ambition to lead the table at the moment and a win over Granada will make their ambition come true. I have no reason to see Real Madrid fail at home to Granada unless all the Granada players are just standing in front of the goal mouth after scoring a goal to defend his victory.

You have to be careful. Indeed Granada's game is in bad shape. They are in position 17 temporary standings. In 3 matches against Madrid they have never won. It looks easy but I think if Madrid underestimate it too much it will make them play badly and they can lose because they have underestimated. Indeed the madrid squad's game day wasn't bad, this season they can still compete so they should be able to win.
