La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

Maybe Benzema thinks that instead of having to spend time with the French national team, it's better for him to devote all his time to Real Madrid. The figure of Benzema for the Los Blancos squad is very important considering that only he is currently the only one who can be a role model as well as the team captain and Carlo Ancelloti seems to be continuing to provide opportunities to play for him. The French national team will grow with young players as you mentioned Mbappe and Nkunku are the best strikers for France at the moment, but as for Benzema's role in the French national team so far there has been no one to replace him.

No one to replace him in the French team? Or in Real Madrid after all? Perhaps you meant to say the second, but that too is a moot point.

I mean the role of Benzema in the French national team, shouldn't he be a good example for the young players there? after what he went through to finally get his first Ballon Dór. In the French national team there are several senior players who don't like him and that also irritates him besides clashing with Deschamps.

Even though his role is not optimal due to frequent injuries when international competition has started, he really wanted to join the French national team during the 2022 world cup which was the last world cup for him, but problems always arise and they cannot be avoided. The only title he can present with France is the 2020/2021 UEFA Nations League.

In the French national team there are several senior players who don't like him and that also irritates him besides clashing with Deschamps.

He is a very good example for young players because he is so professional, not self-fish and he serves for his team and for general aims. I never know that Benzema caused any internal conflicts because of his benefits and his ego.

The drama about Benzema in France is from other people, two star players and their coach, not from Benzema. During World Cup 2022 and so far, Benzema did not say any word about that. He just keep silent and working professionally. The rest will be verified by the truth and time.

Even though his role is not optimal due to frequent injuries when international competition has started, he really wanted to join the French national team during the 2022 world cup which was the last world cup for him, but problems always arise and they cannot be avoided. The only title he can present with France is the 2020/2021 UEFA Nations League.

His injury is not too serious and he wanted to play for them but he is professional that ok, if you guys don't need me, I leave immediately, it's not a big problem with Benzema.

He loves his national team but he did not get enough chance to contribute for them. His career is already bigger than many key players in France have achieved for their careers. Griezman has yet won any Champions League or Ballon d'Or and the same for Lorris.

Mbape is such a great player that if Madrid are able to secure his signature,he will really be a good addition to the squad,but as it stands,I don't think PSG will be ready to release the player because he is so important to their team,and he has proven to be one of the highest goal scorers in that league.We all saw what he did at the world cup becoming the highest goal scorer in the Tournament,which shows how good he is,and any team that is able to secure his signature will really have a talented player in the team.
Madrid will try their best to get him at their club,but PSG will not want to let him go.

Madrid is preparing 1 billion euros to sign him, around 630 million euros for the next four seasons, for a transfer fee of around 150 million euros and a signing bonus plus commissions. These figures are so high that they will baffle many, especially if you don't understand football, but if Madrid are willing to pay that much it is because the player will earn them more. You have to see how much money football moves.

Luckily for madrid, they have set of young good wingers and Carlo Ancelotti is adding more speedsters to his squad. Real madrid is the winning team interms of trophies and maintaining their standard in the transfer market, and they always go for the best young players rather than settle for less. Kylian mbappe time in PSG is not yet over because he still have more lengthy year to play football and achive more trophies with the parisians. Madrid president, Florentino Pérez is the major reason behind the strong mbappe bid and keen move to join the los blancos.

[makishart]

No one to replace him in the French team? Or in Real Madrid after all? Perhaps you meant to say the second, but that too is a moot point. Rumours are rife that Real Madrid want Mbappe and are prepared to pay up to a billion euros for the player and then Benzema will have competition. Although I would not call it that, because Karim is already thinking about the end of his career (based on media reports) and Mbappe will just be his successor

When Mbappe is targeted by Real Madrid, it is a good opportunity for career development because Real Madrid is a big club that has a lot of money and a team that can work well together. What needs to be considered is that Mbappe must be able to interact well and not be a person who stubborn or difficult to manage.

Mbappe hoped that he could took madrid's first offer but he rejected it at the end of last transfer season. I don't know why he was not moving to the another club if he doesn't like to stay with it. I meant look at how mbappe was saying so many times that PSG didn't fulfill their promise to him. I hope that real madrid can get him as future striker caused by mbappe is beast striker right now. His performance in the world cup amaze so many people. mbappe's really fit with real madrid.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Madrid is preparing 1 billion euros to sign him, around 630 million euros for the next four seasons, for a transfer fee of around 150 million euros and a signing bonus plus commissions. These figures are so high that they will baffle many, especially if you don't understand football, but if Madrid are willing to pay that much it is because the player will earn them more. You have to see how much money football moves.

Mbappe has received a luxurious contract with PSG, but when another luxury offer comes from a club with a myriad of achievements it is very difficult for the player to refuse. Real Madrid want to bring in Mbappe again due to his good performance with France at the world cup, Mbappe is one of the most developed players in the world cup by being the top scorer throughout the tournament.
Money is not a big problem for Real Madrid, especially Florentino Perez who is known to be very ambitious in building the Real Madrid squad. He will never be satisfied if the player he is targeting cannot be obtained. Previously Real Madrid had failed to hijack Mbappe from PSG, Real Madrid will try to take advantage of the January transfer market to bring in Mbappe with a contact value that is difficult for the player to refuse.

If Real Madrid have player like Mbappe and Karim Benzema in this season, it will really help the team to perform better because we saw what Mbappe displayed in the FIFA world cup competition that just concluded few days ago, despite Argentina won the title. Mbappe has what Real Madrid want but to release the money to get Play like Mbappe is very hard but I know Real Madrid are capable to afford any amount of money just to get him. And, I believe Mbappe will never make real Madrid to regret for such decision in future.

[SatoPrincess]

Real Madrid has always prioritized business over camaraderie. Regardless of whether Benzema won the Ballon d'Or, his age is a risky bet, particularly for a club like Real Madrid which continuously aspires to be at the highest of La Liga and the Champions League. Real Madrid needs Benzema for an additional season. The ultimate goal of Real Madrid in 2024 will be Haaland, whose contract allows him to be available for international transfer. 

Then again, Is Mbappe out of the Real Madrid conversation?

Gradually Karim Benzema is advancing into the age of retirement and this has been a major problem for Real Madrid finding a suitable replacement for him before he finally leaves. I know it is a risk and gamble to offer Benzema a new contract but I think Real Madrid are ready and willing to risk it all to get Benzema to continue with a new contract to be issued. Real Madrid needs Benzema until they finally get a good replacement for him. Mbappe to Real Madrid seems unlikely to happen for now though.

Mbappe is nothing if you don't give him space and if he does not receive good support from his team-mates especially midfielders with their passes for him. In World Cup final, we saw Mbappe mostly disappeared in first 70 to 80 minutes of that match before a penalty from Otamendi mistake which changed all.

After that Argentina players were panic a little bit and they gave Mbappe more space to use his speed. Mbappe became more dangerous in 2 extra halfs when Argentina players were tired and their coach was too late with substitutions.

Same thing is in PSG and at club level, Mbappe is not a player like Messi who can control the match intensity, play as a play maker, make assists and score goals. To be fair for Mbappe, he is a player like Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, not like Messi.

From what I hear, Madrid has prepared another target as an alternative if they fail to sign Mbappe, he is Endrick, a talented young player
Madrid will not make Mbappe a priority because Endrick is predicted to be able to compete and become a new star
Regardless of whether this young player can be relied upon, we'll see in the continuation of the competition.

Real Madrid don't spend so much time waiting and joking around a player, in th case of Jude Bellingham ans Kylian Mbappe they will never go back hunting for em anymore, I think I have echoed this enough.
I have seen in a newspaper yesterday of how Kylian Mbappe would take a reduced pay just to leave Paris Saint Germany next Transfer Window.

Endrick that's the player's name, eighteen years old brazilian. That's been a complete deal already between Real Madrid and thr player and his current club.

Due to injuries and all others should I say age, I'm not sure how many years Karim Benzema can go for Real Madrid, and Rodrygo doesn't seem like a perfect replacement for em. I watched a video clip of Endrick, incredibly perfect for Real Madrid.

[Docnaster]

But it doesn't look like it's going to happen because regardless of the circumstances the two players Haaland and Mbappe are very difficult to put together, although it is possible it takes money and a lot of effort and I'm not sure about that.

Bringing imppape and Haaland are two work players that require a lot of money to get them signed to one club even though the clubs may have such funds will their concentrate all the funds on getting just a few players or spending the money to get other young players that are less expensive.

Haaland and Kylan mbappe are two different amazingly Young players who just begin to make names and fame in the history of football. Haaland will find it difficult to drive in the same boat as Kylian mbappe who shares closely the same football experience and ambition. Mbappe may likely not stay in the same team as Haaland because both individuals will be playing selfishly with the feeling that one will outshine the other. Therefore, bringing Mbappe and Haaland to the same club not only depends on the club's management but also depends on the two individuals' decision

[LUCKMCFLY]

Atletico Madrid is a good team and they have a chance to do well in La-Liga. But their biggest tough opponents are Barcelona and Real Madrid, these two teams will be very difficult to beat. After the World Cup we will see the magnificent La Liga match.

Atletico Madrid cannot beat the two big teams unless they want to try and improve good teamwork because in fact all team strengths can become weak when they cannot work as a team well, whereas if Atletico Madrid are able to do that then they still have a chance to get the win.

The Atlético Madrid players are actually not bad, it's just that they are too ambitious to retain coach Diego Simeone, who we know has coached Atlético Madrid for nearly ten years and he was unable to give Atlético Madrid a supremacy title. Maybe Altetico Madrid's management needs to be fixed first, otherwise they will still be below and maybe even worse he will suffer the same fate as Valencia.

Athletico is a good side with a good coach,but their inconsistency shows that they are not ready to win anything nor compete fiercely with Madrid and Barca.Madrid and Barcelona have two good attackers in the person's of Lewandowski and Benzema,who always deliver them and score important goals for them,but Athletico does not have a prolific goal scorer who scores regular goals for them.But even at that,if there was team work in the Athletico team,they would have been winning matches.Nevertheless,the January transfer window is fast approaching,when teams will sign players from the market,and maybe,they will be able to get players that can help them pick form.

But this inconsistent Atletico Madrid has been going on for years and they should have started to improve from the coaches to the players. If they only rely on one player in the attack line, of course it will not produce any results. Look at the list of players they mostly still have a lot of old players in their squad like Koke, Carrasco and Jan Oblak how will they get the most out of it if they don't look for replacements for new players who are younger and fitter.

Well, I think that Spanish football has learned that it cannot leave everything in the hands of the young players, because it has been very evident that it cannot find its north, in a team it should always be considered to have veteran players that show the change to the most young people, because it is very easy to crash and that is not what is sought, for me what is becoming evident for Atlético is that Cholo must change his strategy a lot, and not try to sell in his transfer window but on the contrary Comprar to strengthen the team and here what is sought is to reap more victories.

Real Madrid has always prioritized business over camaraderie. Regardless of whether Benzema won the Ballon d'Or, his age is a risky bet, particularly for a club like Real Madrid which continuously aspires to be at the highest of La Liga and the Champions League. Real Madrid needs Benzema for an additional season. The ultimate goal of Real Madrid in 2024 will be Haaland, whose contract allows him to be available for international transfer.

Real Madrid needs Benzema until they finally get a good replacement for him. Mbappe to Real Madrid seems unlikely to happen for now though.

Well, the thing about Benzema is something that surprises, but we think that he should stay at least to play in Euro 2024, he can, I think that a player at 35 still has a lot to give, I think that at 43 he is the age at which a soccer player should retire, because that is where age is felt the most but it is when more experience is had, we have the example of a Paolo Maldini, a Buffon, they are emblematic players who are icons of their countries and who are icons of their clubs, their clubs always gave them the putsto, why retire so quickly? It is good that they give space to new and younger players, but these players who are legends should contribute much more.

Something very controversial about Benzema:


Deschamps ordered the departure of Karim Benzema from Qatar through team doctor

Karim Benzema has been one of the world’s most prolific strikers in recent times. Ever since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the veteran forward has stepped up his game and has become the leader of the Real Madrid frontline.

The striker was even rewarded for his contributions at Real Madrid with a Ballon d’Or title earlier this year. However, even though Benzema has been wildly successful during his time at Real Madrid, he has been never been able to express himself in the French national team.

Several reports within French media have suggested that Benzema never trains to full capacity when he is training with the French national team, which leaves coach Didier Deschamps somewhat betrayed.

In a recent report, Diario AS (h/t Los Blancos Live) has relayed the words of the French team doctor, who has revealed that it was indeed Deschamps who had ordered the attacker to return to Madrid after he picked up a tragic injury just before the start of the World Cup.

“I’m sorry, Karim, you have to leave,” the doctor had told Benzema. He later revealed that his ‘cold’ words to Benzema were based on the orders of Deschamps, who was present but opted to remain silent.

This comes in the midst of reports that suggest that the report Real Madrid received for Benzema was not serious enough for the player to be sent back home.

I don't know, but if I had put Benzema in to play in the final, I think Argentina would have found everything more difficult...

[BALIK]

The need for Benzema in the France team is decreasing day by day. France needed Benzema in this World Cup. If Benzema was in the squad, France could have become champions again.

AActually, if Benzema joins the French team at this year's world cup, I think this is one of the factors that will ease the way for the French team to win the world cup this time, and because the French team's performance this season is very good, this is also one of the the most important key in terms of achieving victory. but this is still not the case this season they failed in their last match to win the world trophy in this season.

If Benzema was in the squad, the France team would have been stronger. We saw that in the final match against Argentina, no other forward player played well except Mbappe. Having an experienced player like Benzema in the squad would have strengthened the morale of the players. And their team performance was more stable.

But France will no longer need Benzema in the next World Cup. Mbappe is performing very well. His performance will improve as he becomes more experienced. Also Dembele and Nkunku are very talented. And so the France team will be able to play well without Benzema in the future.

I think so too, for the future France really doesn't need Benzema in the next World Cup, considering the performance of the game that Mbappe showed and several other team members who were very good at making the French team play very beautiful, for the future of course the performance of Mbappe and Dembele will increase more than In his experience, maybe this is one of the reasons France don't need Benzema again in the coming season.

France has plenty of talented players in the pipeline. If Mbappe and Dembele are able to organize themselves more, they will be stronger. I think the France team will be more stable and stronger before the next World Cup. Champions in the next World Cup are more likely if Mbappe can stay in form.

Mbappe played very well in the World Cup, but I do not understand why there is so much hype about him. Yes, he is a great striker even before the World Cup, but his results in the finals were only due to two penalties. The rest of the time he was no better than the rest of France's forwards. Of course he's better than many and worthy of playing for Real Madrid, but I think there's a lot of unnecessary expectations around him now.

without a doubt they are very strong players, watch out
but behind it there is also a solid company and an intelligent coach
If you move these players to Inter for example, they're not as impactful as you think
so you have to contextualize, yes they are good, but they have a lot of support behind them

There's no need to bring two of them to the real madrid. Mbappe can also play as striker. He was very effective for real madrid and im sure about this. I think that mbappe will be more suitable for real madrid rather than buying haaland. Haaland was pure striker like benzema but real madrid needs mbappe as a winger but he can also play like striker. Multiple role was also very good for madrid. I think that madrid tried to consider this as the main consideration to buy him from PSG.
There are lots of rumour about mbappe wanna leave from PSG and madrid can use such situation to take the advantage and bring him to the santiago bernabeu

What needs to be considered is that Mbappe must be able to interact well and not be a person who stubborn or difficult to manage.

Not only that, but Mbappe needs to move to a more popular league like La Liga in Spain so that there is a better improvement in his career because the name Mbappe himself is very famous even though he is still in the young category. And Real Madrid's target this time is really good and very precise, but can Real Madrid succeed in taking it this season?

Because a player like Mbappe, who is very well-known for his attractive appearance, is definitely being targeted by several teams this season because it can further strengthen the front lines for teams that are in need of more strength up front. Moreover, he is able to run very fast when compared to other players.

If you watched the final match in full then I think you should understand why there is so much hype about Mbappe. He played very well in the entire World Cup. France's performance in the first half of the final was very poor. Mbappe's superb performance in the second half saw France back on track. While players like Giroud, Griezmann and Dembele did not perform well, Mbappe attacked a lot. This is why there is so much hype about Mbappe.

One of the hype about Mbappe is because he managed to become the top scorer in the world cup and scored a hat trick in the final match. Mbappe quality is one step higher than other French strikers, he became the difference when France fell two goals behind Argentina.
Real Madrid have been interested in Mbappe since last season, now Real Madrid are again trying to sign Mbappe with a higher offer. On the other hand, Real Madrid must look for a striker who can replace the old and often injured Benzema. Mbappe is considered capable of replacing Benzema role and his quality as a goalscorer cannot be doubted.

Mbappe was carrying the club. That's they reason he has been getting so many attentions from various media and clubs. Mbappe was also act like a captain for the club while Lloris was the captain of france national club but mbappe has been boosting the performance from the team. Since france was losing 2-0 and most of players in france lose their mentality but mbappe has been trying to bring back their mentality after making the first goal. Adding the second goal was also boosting the mentality from whole of france players again. Mbappe has been playing so much for the club. That's why he was getting a lot of attentions. I will not be surprised that real madrid become more interested with him after world cup.
