La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[MuffinMaster]

Real will definitely need a transition striker for sure, without a doubt. They need someone who is like 30 years old at most, if younger that would be great but if that players turns out great then don't know what will happen with Endrick. Getting a 16 year old is a very very weird situation, I mean it may take as long as at least 6 years for him to be ready to start at striker position, which is why I feel like its not going to be simple. A player they might get like Jesus would be closer to retirement by the time Endrick is ready to play for example. Not an easy decision for sure.

Real Madrid are favorites for La Liga. They have quite a chance to win the La Liga title. They have a great XI, who are in good form. If they replace Benzema with a good forward, the team will be stronger.

Real Madrid have always been known by their finding this kind of talented youngsters from different places over the world and growing them here to be a solid player. They don't aim to sell this kind of players quickly after they reach their potential as well. Because Real Madrid love to build a brand new strong team with new generation players. Tchouameni and Camavinga are already good examples for this. They are here to take Kroos and Modric's places in the starting eleven in the future.

Endrick transfer has also been made with the same goal but he will need to wait for at least a couple of years at least to become a prominent player. It would be great to watch him being a player like Vinicius Jr. Because Vinicius Jr is already one of the crucial parts of the team with his high talent.

A player they might get like Jesus would be closer to retirement by the time Endrick is ready to play for example. Not an easy decision for sure.

Will Endrick play for Real Madrid this season? Because it looks like Endrick will only join Real Madrid in 2024, at least there are still two years ahead for Endrick to be able to prepare everything even better. Maybe, there is an age limit for young players who can play for the main squad in the league and professional teams. Therefore, even though Real Madrid had made a transaction, Endrick did not immediately move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Considering that Endrick himself doesn't have much experience playing in different leagues and clubs, then of course it would be a big risk if Real Madrid took him right now.

With this transaction, of course, it is a great achievement that Endrick has had at a young age, because at his young age and not much experience, Real Madrid has seen the great potential that exists in Endrick and this opportunity is very rare for young players out there.
It will be interesting to wait for what big steps Endrick will make, because if during the two-year period before joining the Real Madrid main squad, Endrick did not have any achievements, then of course that would be a cause for concern as well.

I think when I say the previous coach was below standard it's also a bit inaccurate because looking at Koeman's condition actually he's also a good coach and it's proven that he won several titles in the Eredivisie but Barcelona and him have a mismatch and it's too short so things like season happen. yesterday.
As for Xavi, he knows what he has to do because he already knows the ins and outs of Barcelona so it becomes easy to direct but right now I also can't say that Xavi is a good coach especially since there hasn't been any achievement for him other than bringing Barcelona to better direction than last season but not a guarantee. As long as he still doesn't get a trophy he is still nothing and this season is a betting season for Xavi because if he doesn't bring a trophy he will also be labeled a failure.

And I think that’s why it is very significant for Xavi to win the La Liga title this time with Barcelona. This would mean he has something to show for. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people pointing fingers at him. You know, a lot of people are already pointing fingers at him. Seeing that he just brought in some expensive players, he didn’t do anything else for Barcelona.

No, I do not necessarily agree with them. But statistically, I cannot counter them with anything. And that is going to be the same situation for him as well. Now I do not think that he is about to be sacked if he ends up making Barcelona finish in the second position. However, Barcelona needs to win the La Liga title to solidify his position as coach.

Barcelona sacking Xavi can be the worst decision to take that will lead to regret. If xavi is sacked who knows the next coach will even become worst than xavi. Barcelona needs to be patient with xavi to see the best that can come from him. If Barcelona sacks xavi the team can be like Barcelona of the days of Ronald Koeman.  Xavi is a good coach that Barcelona needs, the problem of Barcelona is not xavi. The problem of Barcelona is finance to sign in best players.  When a team has players that good their is no how their wont be outcome of good result in every match.

Barcelona will continue to be coached by Xavi. But Xavi needs to have some achievements under his belt to say that he is actually the deserving coach of Barcelona. He needs to win the La Liga title this time with Barcelona. At this point, this is not a question of whether he will stay on as the coach of Barcelona or not, it is about proving a point.

A derby is waiting for barcelona after the world cup but espanyol team doesn't pose much a threat for them since they are struggling with five games without a win plus the game will be in the camp Nou it will be an easy win in my opinion if they perform the same as they did before the break.

Even though this is often called the Derby, with the conditions between the two teams, we actually already know what will happen in the future.
The performance of these two teams is very inversely proportional and this season everything has hardly changed because indeed Espanyol is also not in good shape with 2 defeats and 3 draws in their last 5 matches.
I might even feel this will be an easy win for Barcelona later.

Barcelona's main problems are undoubtedly financial, but I wouldn't say that Xavi is not a problem. Besides being an inexperienced coach, he is a very good player in the first place - it's a problem to be a coach as sometimes he doesn't understand that players can't do things that he could when he was a player. Secondly, in my opinion, he is a bad coach because he is not at all flexible. Throughout his career, he came to success through one strategy both in the national team and in the club. And he tries to repeat it without realizing that football is changing and what worked yesterday will not work tomorrow.

The problem now is that Xavi is too obsessed with strikers, I think because right now, before the transfer was opened, there had been some conversations that they still wanted to bring Silva from Manchester City, even though with Silva's current condition, of course he would be very expensive, on the other hand, there are already a lot of attacking players. for them and they also still need players in defense. Is this really too selfish because it looks like it's good enough even though in defense they have to be prepared to lose Alba and Busquets.

[Furious 7]

Barcelona is trying to improve its reputation by winning in La Liga and in this way it is hoped that Barcelona will be able to get new investors or additional funds for their team because with their achievements they should be able to increase funds and make Barcelona's finances recover.

The problem is there is no certainty either for them to win I think and this is a gamble for them. Maybe it's true, when they win they will be able to bring in some new investors but the worst possibility is what if they don't make it back and fail just like the previous season.
I think it's worse than before if they fail and their current actions are too bold in my opinion because in this case it's clear the risk is quite big.

[herurist]

What is certain is that Real Madrid will definitely continue to train until it becomes suitable for Real Madrid's game, Endrick is only 16 years old, at least when he was a child he will be nurtured properly by the management and once he is ready he will definitely be announced as the main player for Real Madrid and maybe he will be on the same level as Vinicius later.

There are suggestions that Karim Benzema has recovered from his injury which could confirm that Real Madrid are ready to field him, however this is not certain these are just rumours and there has been no clear decision he will play in LaLiga again after injury.
As for Real Madrid, they are looking for players to replace Benzema later, the rumors have been around for a long time, but Real Madrid don't have a definite target, but maybe we'll find out in this winter's transfer window.

There are at least 2 years for Madrid now, making Endrick even better because if I'm not mistaken, the limit for being and being a player in La Liga is 18 years, so this has been confirmed as their long-term project like Vini and Rodrygo before.
As for Benzema's problem, he will indeed continue to play at least until his contract expires because he has also just signed a new contract and of course he is expected to play even though the vulnerability of his feet still needs to be worried about.

[pungopete468]

Real Madrid still have a big budget, and can buy almost any player they want. They got a talent for 60 million from Brazil. I think he played in the Brazilian league. Madrid also has good scouts, who once also snatched Luka Mdoric in the league elsewhere. But maybe it won't be as exciting as we think in the competition. I have the impression that Barcelona may collapse very quickly in the coming rounds. Madrid will have been put on edge with Benzema by the last lesser games in the competition.

[G_Besar]

Barcelona will continue to be coached by Xavi. But Xavi needs to have some achievements under his belt to say that he is actually the deserving coach of Barcelona. He needs to win the La Liga title this time with Barcelona. At this point, this is not a question of whether he will stay on as the coach of Barcelona or not, it is about proving a point.

I think the Barcelona management should give Xavi a lot of time. Of course it was very hard for Xavi if several people demanded that he immediately give the title to Barcelona. In my opinion, this will not be easy, because Xavi will need several more seasons to reassemble the Blaugrana's playing framework, which fell apart when handled by Koeman. Now under Xavi's command, Barcelona's game has improved again, even though it hasn't been very consistent, but its performance deserves appreciation.

[SquallLeonhart]

Real Madrid seems with long term investment after reach agreement deal transfer Endrick and have to pay more than 72 Million Euro, actually due La Liga and European regulation, Madrid need waiting until two years later and Endrick have 18 years old to be Real Madrid player. Not first time spent much money for recruiting young talented, have memorize with Vinicius Jr contract with expensive transfer values and he still at young age before become talented player right now.

Nowadays, Real Madrid still have problem with center forward and spent more than 73 million euro seems not effective, actually have spent 72 million euro for sign new center forward and can replace Karim Benzema position after many time absent due injured.

I was thinking about this, and I feel like this is way too long term. I remember them getting vini and rodyrgo as well when they were young, and that is understandable because they had other players to play in those positions, and then slowly they grew up under their wins.

Today, if Endrick comes in 2024, that would mean Benzema would be already very old, and we are talking about a huge difference in age as well, by the time Endrick was born, Benzema was already playing professional football in big clubs, not like his first start or anything, was already on his way to be good. So, it is going to be tough to make that gap, if Benzema was 30, this would have worked, even 32-33 is a good push, but 34-35 now? 37 or so when he gets there? That's tough.

[Pulsar77]

I think Karim Benzema will stay at Real Madrid this season. He is a great striker, and has a lot of experience. He led the Real Madrid team himself and has a unique role behind the achievements of the Real Madrid team.

As you know Benzema was awarded a Ballon d'Or prize at the end of last season. While he was giving a speech after being announced he said that he was willing to even retire at Real Madrid. I wonder what the Real Madrid officials are thinking about this wish. Benzema must have a some kind of special place in their hearts certainly. His contributions to the team so far (especially the one in the previous season  ) have been priceless indeed. His services would be needed for a longer time as well.

Even if Real Madrid sign a new top striker next summer I still expect Benzema to remain in the squad. Maybe he can lose his place in the starting eleven in time but he would always be there to do his best when he is given the chance.

He never got that price. He single-handedly shot Real Madrid to the Champions League title last season. It is more difficult to measure in the Spanish league, because the level there is lower than in the CL. Still, Real Madrid will also need Benzema. As for his injury, I think it's not too bad, he would also be present at a final in Qatar this week. But it is certainly not an injury that would prevent him from playing for months. Real Madrid also has some strong attackers in the competition, Benzema will first have to regain match rhythm.

[Ayers]

Barca's problem is the president, Juan Laporta. Laporta the politician.
Messi was used to win the election and then kicked out by Laporta with pique's advice.
Laporta is as useless as Barca players going to the national team. This is everything we need to know about Barca.
Barcelona selling clothes now. Broke club. lol

I guess that laporta was also doing shady things to the barcelona's financial pretty much the same like what happened with ac milan. La porta was selling barcelona's tv right with very cheap price and barcelona will not have any income from there.
I thought that the financial clever that already taken by barcelona was shady trick by laporta to get money. https://www.eldesmarque.com/barcelona/fc-barcelona/noticias/204558-joan-laporta-destroza-al-barcelona-y-regala-a-los-dos-mejores-del-mundial-por-un-precio-ridiculo

I agree, but I would like to point out that it is not just the current president, he has had disastrous presidents for some time now. Laporta in this case has taken a flight forward, something like the one who is drowning in loans, takes a payday loan as a last resort to see if a miracle happens to help him out of the situation.
Barcelona has a lot at stake this season, as a mediocre result could lead to profound changes in the club's structure. And I am not only referring to the sporting structure, but also to the club's corporate structure.
At the moment it seems to be going well, we will see how things continue now that the games resume in a couple of weeks.

The biggest problem for Barcelona is the people in power are not taking things seriously. They are just thinking that Barcelona is just a club for them to grab a huge amount of money. Corruption is just destroying Barcelona. And I really think that regardless of whether Barcelona doing good or not, there should be some changes in the authority of Barcelona. Otherwise, this club is not going to improve its situation. And unless there is a change in the authority for Barcelona, I don’t see the financial situation of Barcelona improving as well. Because the corrupt personnel will always try to find a way to get money for themselves instead of thinking about using the money to improve the situation in Barcelona.

Actually this is a good speech, but with Real Madrid's condition, I'm a little doubtful about one of the players retiring here, especially since I haven't seen a Real Madrid player who can really retire here for the last decade because they were thrown away before them. pension.
Even though Benzema has always been the backbone of Madrid for several seasons, I am a bit pessimistic about something like this for him because Madrid always replace several players who they think are not up to their standards before going further.

[kawetsriyanto]

Sure, Karim Benzima will stay at Real Madrid this season because there is no serious talk of him leaving the club anytime soon; he is happy in Madrid and will likely stay there until his retirement because Real Madrid has turned him into a great player. He is the best player in the world, and that recognition was achieved by Benzima in Real Madrid, so they did very well to keep him to this point. I believe they need a strong striker like Napoli's Oshimen as his replacement before releasing him.

Of course, Benzema feels happy and comfortable playing in Real Madrid. I never heard a rumor about Benzema leaving Real Madrid. I'm surprised when I read some comments about Benzema staying or leaving. In my opinion, no doubt that Benzema to stay in Real Madrid, maybe until he retires from his professional career.

Yep, since Benzema often gets injured, Real Madrid needs another top striker. Mbappe, Osimhen, or Harry Kane seems fit to be Real Madrid striker, but I don't know if Real Madrid will have a chance to sign these players. They are the main strikers in their current clubs and their market prices are expensive. These factors may be a serious obstacle to signing them.

Karim Benzema is indeed a player that Real Madrid really relied on last season and also this season, but to say he single-handedly brought Real Madrid to the Champions League title last season seems a little inaccurate because you have ignored the coach, and the other players. which really helps the game on all fronts. Every team needs good cooperation in winning any title, because without this, no matter how smart a player is, he will not be able to play alone without the help of his friends.

A lot of new signing is on the way after the world cup and the transfer window open up, I am hoping that some of the young players who have showcased their talent during the World cup will finally get signed to reputable clubs where they can continue to build their career. La liga next season will witness new vibes from those players that are produced from the current formations

Barcelona is a big club that doesn't feel like it will be easy to collapse, their management and team are currently trying hard to get more achievements to get additional money for life in Barcelona, meanwhile Real Madrid is indeed a very wealthy club and they might be able to shifted Barcelona's position and reclaimed first place when they managed to get additional players in the transfer market when it opened.

Some of the La Liga clubs are waiting for the fair-play announcement to see how much they could spend. Barcelona is very limited and cannot spend much after their expensive summer. They are planning to add another sponsor which is this time WhiteBIT, maybe more are planned too.
