La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

Atletico Madrid's form decreased too much this season by the way. They were the last champions but in this season they started to be very inconsistent. Simeone even thought of leaving the team for some time after a very poor form. After some time passed, they started to improve their effort and this helped them enter top four at least. But this wasn't a satisfying performance for a champion team obviously. I even started to think that Atletico Madrid need to make some substantial changes. Simeone's system is decent but not good enough to maintain successful years.

Simeone must have stayed with them for over a decade now, isn't it nice they part ways with him already ?
They flopped badly the last campaign, I hope he sets thing's right or get to be shown the exit, giving too much control to managers really ain't a good idea for me. But if he turns tuings around and get them results he might surely continue as head Coach.

Simeone has become an inseparable part of Atletico Madrid, the club's top brass trust in Simeone is very high, Atletico management looks still comfortable with Simeone performance. Simeone contract at Atletico until 2024, since taking charge of Atletico on 23 December 2011, Siemone has led Atletico to win two La Liga trophies, one CDR, one Supercopa, two Europa Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups, and two Champions League runners-ups .
 Simeone contribution made Atletico officials very satisfied, the only reason Siemone was still retained as Atletico coach was because club officials still believed Simeone could still give Atletico trophies.

Yes agree, it's impossible for a coach who has been in the team for a long time to be sacked, sacking him just because he failed to defend the title feels impossible. because the most important thing is that Atletico can still compete in the top four is enough. After all, Atletico itself is not a team that has a view on the title candidate from season to season, Atletico is only a shadow of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Of course, I also admit that Atletico's performance has been declining this season but I'm sure they will be able to improve and be better for next season.

I think, Atletico Madrid coach has a lot of work to do to improve the players to ensure they remain unbeatable in their remaining matches. I believe the team is lacking in the areas of defensive which their coach is already aware about the situation during their past matches, which the coach is fully ready to work on their defenders so that they will be able to make their fans happy again in this season. Atletico Madrid will definitely improve in this period because their coach has discovered where the fault is coming from, which he has already made some changes that will give the team positive results.

As last season champions Atletico were actually expected to be title contenders this season, but throughout the season their performances have been out the expectations of many people but fortunately this season they can lock up a place in the champions league zone next season, if look at their poor performance this season, of course Simeone has a big responsibility to improve their squad next season, maybe we will see a lot of changes that will be made including an overhaul of their defense with some new players, but frankly I'm getting tired of seeing Atletico Madrid style of play that has been continuing relying on hard and rough games so that they often harm themselves, I hope next season Simeone puts more emphasis on technique in the game than rough games so that their game is more interesting to watch.

Athletico team are one  talented group of players but, they have to fix their defence. If they sort it out as fast they can, they will be back on track. They have neither the quality or quantity of defenders to pull off the 3 at the back for a whole season, the subsequent injuries to them have been a major factor behind their inconsistent start.

The Atletico Madrid team is strong enough. I don't think their defense is weak. However, their gameplay is not stable. If they want to win the title then the team needs more talented players. At the same time they need a certain match strategy. However, Atletico Madrid's management is not interested in spending too much money. Maybe this season we will see the same squad of Atletico Madrid.

Atlético's attacking position is never lacking, but Atletico's defense position has not been upgraded since Miranda, Godin, Lukas Hernandez, Juanfran, trippier, Felipe Luis left, there are no strong defenders at Atletico Madrid. plus an unupgraded defensive midfield position as well.

Atletico Madrid is not a real Madrid or Barcelona that is able and willing to spend its money to buy talented and star players.
Atletico Madrid are more interested in signing mediocre players and then making these players famous and they sell them, this is what we usually see at Atletico Madrid.
I think even though they only have a modest squad, they will still compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid in getting the La Liga title next season.

So far there has been no surprising transfer policy from Atletico Madrid, they often bring in players who are not star status when the transfer market opens, maybe only Suarez and Griezman are interesting transfers from Atletico in my opinion, but unfortunately now Athletico is only trying to make Griezman permanent next season, while suarez is reportedly going to be released by Atletico Madrid at the end season.
I agree, defense is one of the reasons for the weakness of Athletico this season and I think Athletico should be able to improve their defense next season in order to be able to compete in the domestic league as well as European competitions.

Everyone is talking about Atlético need to work with the players to get back in business. But it seems to me that maybe it's time to think about how to change the team's game at the coach level? It's hardly possible without swapping Simeone for someone else, but it seems to me that he has exhausted all his ideas in this post and the team should move on without him. This viscous football is far from being as effective as it used to be.

I don't think that Atletico will try to replace Simeone with another coach, if we look at maybe Simoene current position is no different from Wenger position at Arsenal previously, the team management trust in Simeone is of course very big even though they lack achievements, Since being coached by Simeone, Atletico financial income has become stronger because of the huge profits and even according to some articles I read, when Simeone managed to lead Atletico to two Champions League finals, two semifinals, two Europa League finals and two European Super Cups,  it has actually made more  300 million euros for atletico income, so it is certain that athletics will not try to bet on replacing Simeone with another coach even though Atletico Madrid game has been quite monotonous so far.

It may work, but there is also a certain risk in such an action, Semione should be replaced by a top-level coach, the best of the best. Examples when amateurs come to the team, as was the case with Juventus or Manchester United, will not lead to anything good. Athletico should bring something new to the team, it is obvious that their defensive football is no longer as effective as it was a few years ago.

He is a serious man and his presence at Atletico Madrid has made the team very competitive in La Liga. His contract is still quite long and it is true that he still has the trust of management to coach the team even though most of the time Atletico Madrid are not favorites for the title because of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Simione is an ambitious person and I think he is the best coach for Atletico Madrid so far even though he hasn't won much for his team. I hope one day he can coach another team like PSG or a Premier League team and that will be good for his career.

Atletico Madrid's management should invest some money to make their team stronger. They need an experienced striker. Their strategy also needs to change. However, due to the lack of experienced strikers in the team, they play defensive tactics. And so they need an experienced striker. At the same time, I think if they can strengthen the midfield a little bit, they will be able to fight for the title next season.

So far sacking Simone will only add new problems for Atletico. Modern football is not just a matter of trophies and champions. The current football is a business, as long as they work and still give profits to the club I think firing is not the best move. I think Simone with Atletico is not bad, they are quite good beyond the dominance of Barcelona and Madrid. Atletico only needs to add new star players to be able to return to the championship. Simone has understood very well how the Spanish league is going.

I also think the same as you. The title is not always a mandatory goal that must be achieved by a team because there are other goals that the team may also aim for, namely the business to run smoothly and profitably. Like Dortmund and Arsenal, they have made millions dollar from selling quality players but they haven't won many titles. It's part of the team's business although they also want to win titles.

I think the same is true for most of the other teams where there is another target they want to achieve besides the title and that is profit and smooth running of the business.

instead of thinking of them as a strong team I prefer to think of them as a team full of surprises for now.
Sometimes the performance is so good and sometimes vice versa. Atlético's performance was very unpredictable especially this season, they actually had a good start but disaster came when Suarez was injured and several other players followed. although the storm passed quickly but not with its productivity.
they find it difficult to score after some of their players recover from injuries that hinder their goals and make it difficult to win the game

Beside Antoine Griezmann as new player for Atletico Madrid as loan option from Barcelona I don't see any active transfer window made by Atletico Madrid lasts season between both window transfer open. I think management should invest much money for Diego Simeone and give him bigger budget how to get new player for next season. Many position need to get new player from forward after leaving by Luiz  Suarez until less creativity on midfielder after Saúl Ñíguez moved to Chelsea. Bad performance this season should be evaluate for management how keep active and invest money for getting new player for next season.

I don't think teams that have been plagued with oil money like PSG have enough patience with a coach like Simeone who would need a lot of patience to build at team with Chemistry and not a bunch of Star players whose individual brilliance brings the team results like PSG is right now

Not as bad as imagined, Atletico Madrid still managed to finish in a safe position to qualify for next season's Champions League behind Barcelona with a total of 71 points. In the league, Atletico Madrid have lost just 9 times, draw 8 times and won 21 times this season. That's a good statistic for them even though they could have ended the season better.

There are rumors of Atletico Madrid's rejection of Morata's future at Juventus, he is rumored to be returning to Atletico Madrid next season. IMO, that would have made them more stable without Suarez and I've also heard rumors about Atletico's interest in Sterling recently.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Atletico Madrid will always be in the shadow of Barcelona and Real Madrid. All the more clever was that they became champions 2 seasons ago, which no one had thought. If Atletico have a good year, they can compete for the championship. They basically have a better team now than in the year they won the championship. But Real Madrid is much more consistent and has fewer problems with the lesser teams. Last season was a bad season for Atletico. Sevilla had also fallen far back after a long 2nd place finish.
