La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[sana54210]

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.

Defense as a weakness? Did we really watched the same ATM all season? I get that they had 43 goals conceded, which is like 9th or 10th in the league and that is terrible and I get it, you are right about that if we are going to talk about defense.

But the reality is that, their defense was good enough, they just played a system very different in UCL and in La Liga, in La liga they scored third highest goals, and that is why their goals conceded didn't matter, but when you look at how they could defend in champions league, you see that they were quite capable of it and defended so well that it was like Mourinho Chelsea levels of park the bus and they were great. It just wasn't their system during the league.

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.

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

I've always considered Atletico to be a strong team, at least Diego Simeone can always make Atletico in the top 4 and qualify for the Champions League.
Although I admit that Atletico have often failed to win the La Liga trophy, but the 2020/2021 season Atlético proved they were the team that could
finally end the domination of Real Madrid and Barcelona. So it's only natural that this season Diego Simeone failed to defend the La Liga trophy,
Simeone's position as Atletico's main coach is still safe. Even Simeone has been Atletico coach since 2012, that's a very long time for Simeone as
Atletico coach. Simeone is also the coach with the highest salary in Europe, meaning that Atletico's management is quite satisfied with Simeone.
I hope the Atlético management give Simeone enough transfer funds, so that Simeone could buy some new players. To be able to strengthen
the Atletico squad and be able to compete for the La Liga trophy again next season.

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.

Real Madrid is way better this season than all the others clubs, thanks to the performance of its main players especially Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
ATM used to be a quite solid club thanks to Simeone annoying tactics that let the club receive fewer goals, this didn't work perfectly this year.
Sevilla in the other hand fluctuated a lot and they need to consolidate their attack line in order to be more competitive.

Atletico Madrid has certainly lost their winning spirit. It is quite true that they often don't make very big transfers. It has been the case for quite some time now.

Making Griezmann permanent is obviously great news but I really think they should also keep Suarez in the team, they should invest some money to improve their defensive lineup. They have not been doing so great in La Liga as well as European competitions. I really don't know about others but I expect better from Atletico Madrid.

Atletico has some problems this season. Some players got injured for a long time, their tactics/strategy didn't work well, and they have no winning mentality anymore. Although they have many experienced and quality players, those problems ruin their performance from one match to another match. But luckily, they finished in 3rd place. For me, it is not a really bad result for Atletico Madrid. At least, they are still in the top 3 in La Liga and qualified for the UCL competition for the next season.

Well, I still wouldn't throw such words around as always, but it's really worth recognizing that Atletico Madrid is only at the beginning of the path of awareness as a top team at the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona. It takes decades, because Real Madrid and Barcelona are quite far away from Atletico Madrid in terms of titles. But this does not mean that Atletico Madrid, in principle, has no chance to come to the fore in comparison with Real Madrid and Barcelona, because everything changes and there is nothing eternal. It's just that everyone was expecting a much better performance from Atletico Madrid this season after the previous championship the previous season, so some degree of disappointment is understandable.

Didn't Atletico win La Liga last season? In the hands of Simeone Atletico have been very good, Simeone is able to provide competition to Real Madrid and Barcelona. During the Atletico vs Real Madrid or Barcelona match, the tension in the match is always high, because Atletico can be a stumbling block for Real Madrid and Barcelona. This season, Atletico performances have declined slightly, finishing fourth is not a good achievement for a team that won La Liga last season. Simeone must look to new players to give Real Madrid and Barcelona competition for the La Liga trophy.

Athletico Madrid are one of the tough team that compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the previous season. Although they failed to compete with the both teams this season by finishing 4th on the table which is absolutely not a good results for the Diego Simeon. Athletico Madrid were the former champions of laliga last season and this season, they couldn't put up a competition for Real Madrid who won the laliga title this season, they were just reluctant in their games and made several draws. Simeon who look for potential players this summer to boost his team squad inother to compete for titles next season.

That's right, Atletico Madrid's 2020-2021 season won Laliga and it was Simione's second title as their coach. Simeone has won a total of 8 titles since he coached Atletico Madrid, and he has also won the title of coach of the world's best club in the 2015-16 season.

Here are the full statistics; https://www.transfermarkt.com/diego-simeone/erfolge/trainer/2868



So there is no doubt about Simeone's success at Atletico Madrid so far. He is one of the coaches who has given his team a lot of success and most importantly he managed to break the dominance of the two Laliga giants, i.e Barcelona and Real Madrid.

this season Atletico Madrid have played less than optimally or inconsistently, often they don't get maximum points even though their opponents are not this tough team.
I hope that Atletico Madrid next season can be more leverage in pursuing the La Liga champions, by bringing in more potential players. So that the La Liga competition is more competitive. This season, it can be said that Real Madrid has no rival in winning the La Liga title.

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.

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.

It's true that for several seasons athletico has looked quite annoying with the tactics used by Simeone, but that doesn't mean changing coaches will be the right alternative in my opinion, especially during Simeone coachingg
, Atletico achievements have improved and even last season they were able to win La Liga after a long time at dominated by madrid and barcelona, ​​for the style of play maybe I agree if they have to change it and of course their must  able to bring in some good players next season to be able to compete again in the championship.

Next season will belong to Barcelona who will compete with Atletico Madrid's city rivals, Real Madrid. The 2021/2022 season wasn't a great season for ATM, but it has still been a good season for Barcelona in La Liga since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez in the middle of the season. Xavi will have more time to organize Barcelona's success next season.

I think, Atletico Madrid are in good position to win next season champion league title because their coach has discovered the weaking points of the team which their management are fully ready to sign in new professional midfielder and strikers that will help the team to perform well next season. Barcelona coach has a lot of work to do to improve the team again, because they have poor performance in this season which is not giving their fans joy about the results they got from this season. Real Madrid has performed well in this season but their coach need to introduce more strategies that will help them to embrace early goals from any match in next season.

That's why I said it's impossible for Atletico to sack Simeone, because basically Atletico are a strong team under Simeone's management so if they only fail to defend the title it is something that is natural. Because the stronger team will still be difficult to defend the title, so it is not wrong when there is a saying that "maintaining is harder than getting". So, a team like Atlético when they won the title was certainly great and good but we also can't expect it to be able to keep it because of course it's difficult for Atletico.

[zuzie]

I think, Atletico Madrid are in good position to win next season champion league title because their coach has discovered the weaking points of the team which their management are fully ready to sign in new professional midfielder and strikers that will help the team to perform well next season. Barcelona coach has a lot of work to do to improve the team again, because they have poor performance in this season which is not giving their fans joy about the results they got from this season. Real Madrid has performed well in this season but their coach need to introduce more strategies that will help them to embrace early goals from any match in next season.

I think barcelona have performed quite well this season even better the season before, it's just that they failed to win the title. But we understand that because the competition in LaLiga is quite tight, on the other hand there is Real Madrid which has had a stunning this season. Change after change continues to be made in Barcelona's formation, and this is a good step to reach the peak of Barcelona's glory. If there is a change in the barcelona striker, I believe next season they will be the toughest opponent for real madrid.

Barcelona's performance this season has been much better than the previous season. However, Barcelona's performance has started to improve since Koeman left the club. Xavi has changed the whole gameplay of Barcelona. He has returned to their old tiki-taka technique. And the coordination between the team players has gotten done. The bonding between the players is very nice now. And so Barcelona's performance has been very stable this season. They will try to be stronger next season.

Barcelona played well in the second half of the season after the arrival of Xavi as their coach, and now looking to next season Barca still believe in Xavi as their coach and at the moment they are keen to bring in new players, I have no doubt that Barcelona next season will be very competitive and even they will be strong candidates to become champions. if you look at their rise after slumping at the start of this season I think being champions next season makes a lot of sense.

[JeWay]

It's true that for several seasons athletico has looked quite annoying with the tactics used by Simeone, but that doesn't mean changing coaches will be the right alternative in my opinion, especially during Simeone coachingg
, Atletico achievements have improved and even last season they were able to win La Liga after a long time at dominated by madrid and barcelona, ​​for the style of play maybe I agree if they have to change it and of course their must  able to bring in some good players next season to be able to compete again in the championship.

Atlético Madrid did not perform well enough this season, it looks like Simeone squad is not included in the ranks of the La Liga Trophy competitors. Luiz Suarez has not shown his best performance with Atletico Madrid this season. Because of his 35 appearances with Atletico Madrid in Laliga Suarez only scored 11 goals. Well, Griezmann teammate also did not show the best performance. maybe as you say Atletico madrid Have to find a reliable sticker for next season's competition in order to compete with Barcelona and real Madrid in the race for the Laliga Trophy.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Xavi's Barcelona is very promising now. Thanks to his arrival here, the team have started to perform much better than before. They started fixing things very quickly and finished the season even at the second position in the standings too. If Barcelona make the right transfers this summer too, they can absolutely play much bigger in next season. I'm sure that they would play for the La Liga championship and their biggest opponent in this would be Real Madrid I assume. So we can have a much more competitive season then.

I have the hope that the next league starts, Barcelona will be the same again, because I miss seeing those matches that are a fight to the death between Real Madrid and Barcelona, on the other hand I also hope that Ancelotti stays, because he has very well and maybe now with Xavi since the beginning of the season he has everything to be able to put up a fight.

For me, the Spanish League will be the same or better than a few years ago, when Dinho was at Barcelona and Zizu at Real Madrid, I think that if they continue with the level they have shown we will have a great, very entertaining league, this promises me, moreover The fact that the World Cup is close will force the players to do their job much better.

As last season champions actually many hoped that Atletico Madrid could be title contenders this season, but we saw the opposite instead that Atletico Madrid couldn't do much this season and I think they are lucky enough to be in the top 4, I agree with you if this season the atletico madrid striker  have poor performances and maybe that is a factor in their frequent injuries, it is reported that Atletico Madrid is no longer renewing Suarez contract and it gives hope that maybe later Atletico Madrid will hunt for a new striker in the transfer market, if we look at their squad this season, they have are almost 50% of the players are over the age of 30 and I think  it is time for Atletico Madrid to regenerate their squad for next season .
