La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Hirose UK]

Recently we saw much news about Xabi Alonso moving to Real Madrid because of the good performance he had in the Bundesliga.
The performance of this young coach was really surprising and he totally changed everything in his team also Ancelotti is close to ending his contract with Real Madrid
But if Xabi Alonso wants to join Real Madrid, they have to pay between 15 to 18 million euros for him.

Ancelotti, who is the Real Madrid coach also stated that he really agrees if Xabi Alonso replaces him because he knows very well that Xabi Alonso is great coach and at his relatively young age as coach he can have more brilliant career when coaching Real Madrid.
I think Xabi Alonso can continue his performance by further developing Real Madrid into team that can truly dominate the League and also win the UCL title because last season they failed to bring home the UCL title.
If you look at the list of titles Real Madrid is the team with the most titles, namely 14 titles and for La Liga itself they have collected 35 titles, which is quite a difference from their rivals Barcelona.

It is hoped that the arrival of Xabi Alonso will make Real Madrid stronger and be able to collect more championship trophies.
And it is very natural for him to ask for fee of 15 to 18 million euros because his performance with Leverkusen has also been clear proof of his greatness.

In all the matches played yesterday, the teams managed to score goals against each other. Starting with Barcelona's home game against Alaves, Barcelona scored two goals in the second half to turn the game around and get the three points. After conceding an unfortunate goal in the first minute, Barcelona played dominantly from the beginning to the end of the match and did not lose any points at home.
In the Sevilla Real betis match, the goals came 7 minutes apart. After a scoreless first half, the second half of the match was more lively and the teams obviously fought until the end to find a goal. Although Real Betis scored the first goal, Sevilla had to settle for a point with Rakitic's goal 7 minutes later.

Although Barcelona managed to get three points the match, but Barcelona only winning with a score of 2-1 and it seem not a good result either, because Barcelona play at home . Moreover, Barcelona lost at half time with a score of 0-1 because Alaves managed to make a quick goal in the early minutes of the match. Although Barcelona played at home and only played against Alaves, but Barcelona still needs a big struggle to win in this home match, because I hope Barcelona can win easily by having more than two or three goals. But because the final result was only 2-1, then it seems that at this moment Barcelona is really not in a good situation. So ya, I think Barcelona no longer have a good chance of getting the trophy this season, because the quality of performance is decreasing.

Well, Real Madrid started to use Rodrygo and Vini a lot better to be fair, without Jude, they had to use those two at the front and that worked well enough. They are still using them like wingers, but if it's on the left wing then rodrygo comes to middle, if it's on right wing then vini comes to middle. So, they always have like at least one striker positioned player at that space.

I think it's the decision they had at the start of the season, but they didn't adjust well, plus Vini Jr missed a lot of games as well, so Jude had to step up and that made them play like that for as long as possible. I think it's clear that we are going to see them do like this for a long time as well, they are not going to end up changing anytime soon.

But if Xabi Alonso wants to join Real Madrid, they have to pay between 15 to 18 million euros for him.

This is just a rumor, there is no confirmation or official agreement that confirms this rumor. This news is the same as the rumors circulating recently, Zidane is also rumored to be replacing Ten Hag at Manchester United. Maybe because Alonso is active as a coach and has succeeded in improving Bayer Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga and Europa League, Real Madrid is interested in making him Ancelotti's successor.

Real Madrid may not have quality strikers but the ones they have are very important for Real Madrid. As most of the players in Real Madrid are young and young, a main striker cannot perform as well as they are currently performing. Real Madrid has proved that we cannot consider a team to be strong only if it has a good striker. After the departure of Karim Benzema, there has been a lot of talk about who will be Real Madrid's finisher and we have also seen talk of a number of players being brought to the club to replace Karim Benzema, but Real Madrid have remained steadfast in their decision and have relied on their young players. Real Madrid is relying on young players and young players are giving Real Madrid one success after another.

If Ancelotti intends to achieve success in the Champions League then they must look for a single striker who has the qualities of the previous striker. Having full expectations on the strikers they currently have will have a big impact on the results when they face a much more balanced team in the Champions League. Joselu has different advantages and in my opinion he doesn't fit into the strategy scheme implemented by Ancelotti because he is a typical striker who doesn't work hard. You can see how things are when Belligham, Rodrigo and Vinicius don't play in their best form, goal productivity will decrease much more.

In La Liga it may not have much influence on the composition of players they currently have because Ancelotti can still field some of the players he has. But when they progress further in the Champions League to the semifinals, a single striker is really needed to make the opponent's defense busier in guarding him. Maybe we can see when the composition of Real Madrid's players is still strengthened by several previous world strikers.

Girona are still maintaining their lead. They got another win this time against Vallecano away. Technically they did what Real Madrid couldn't against Vallecano.    It is such an insane form by them so far like I said before as well. They have games against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid later on too so I'm curious about whether we would see a similar scenario to their Real Madrid game before.

Because they didn't look strong in a really tough game. But even if they lose against them both as well they would still be doing a great job in the La Liga with this amazing form for sure. There is a really huge difference between this and previous season and I'm curious about how they managed to make such progress.

Exactly my man! 
Real Madrid failed to win Rayo Vallecano. Not that alone, Real Madrid failed to score against Rayo Vallecano. Girona did by scoring in both halves of the game. In the last five matches they've played, they've accumulated good points amongst underdogs like them and that's a good way to leave for the International games.

Now that's the main test, they could go down below to fourth position, if they loss both, I'd like them to draw both and not lose, they way they will keep a good head. But, I'll be super shockey to see them beating em both. They failed the test against Real Madrid, lest see if they would against the reigning Champions of La Liga and Diego Simeone's side.
I want them to at least qualify for one of the European Competitions next season, they deserve it.

Who knows, Girona might even make it to the Champions League like this by at least finishing at the fourth position. The momentum they have gained so far is such a big one that no team except Real Madrid have been able to stop them. I really like it when I see this kind of teams rising in big leagues at least for one season.

There is a Malaga example in the 2012/2013 season if you remember. They had a great season in the La Liga first and qualified for the Champions League. They even reached the quarter-finals and barely got eliminated by Dortmund.

If we refer to his contract, Xabi Alonso still has a contract duration until June 2026, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the opportunity to move first. But I still believe he will stay longer with Laverkusen as he hones his managerial skills with the Bundesliga team. Although on the other hand, his coaching talent has started to emerge since last season, coupled with Laverkusen consistency in their campaign this season.

Ancelotti will indeed leave Madrid at the end of the season, to be precise in 2024 and as we know, the Italian coach will be the tactician for the Brazilian National Team. So automatically Madrid management or more precisely Perez must start looking for a new successor, but there has been no official confirmation that we can use as an official reference so far.

I think this is just news from the media, but for Xabi qualities, I'm sure he is very suitable to lead Los Blancos in the future. Likewise, Zidane is predicted to replace Ten Hag at Man United, but so far Ten Hag is still believed to be United manager.

Barcelona is getting it right gradually to come close to that first and second position Real Madrid and Girona are occuping for some games now because, there are some poor performance they showcased in some games that caused them draw with many teams. Now that they secured 2 goals in this game to beat their opponent 2:1, it look like they will begin to withstand some small teams to achieve victory.

Barcelona has experience a lot of problem in this new summer that is making Girona to drag the first position with Real Madrid and Barcelona because, their coach brought a lot of skills that will help them to make some changes that will make the world to celebrate Girona coach for the good results he has helped the team to secured that lead them to such celebration.

I do support this decision. Real madrid needs to find ancellotti's successor after ancellotti has agreed to join in the brazil national team. Xabi is the best once who can be lined up along with zidane which was giving back to back UCL champion three times in a row.
15 - 18 millions are easy for madrid. The only problem is whether xabi will agree with such offer as he is still having long term contract in leverkusen. Madrid needs to pay a lot to the leverkusen to get him.

That price was nothing compared with a coach with full experiences in the football. We must try to remember xabi has played under several world class coaches during his career.
He is a hidden gem.

Initially, Benzema departure from Real Madrid made most fans worried that Madrid would experience a very deep decline performance, but fact, Real Madrid still the same as before, having quite a strong performance with Ancelotti and on the one hand, Real Madrid key players are still at the club. This and the arrival of Bellingham provide quite good changes for Madrid future, even in Champions League matches. Real madrid always performs perfectly and the opportunity to get trophy in the Champions League currently looks very convincing.
For now, without a striker like him, Real Madrid is already quite good, but would be better if they immediately looked for a striker and were given an offer early on so as not to lose the opportunity to get the striker.

Not only did Benzema's departure from Real Madrid make the fans worried,  but also the club's performance has been greatly affected negatively this is what is at hand right now and the main reasons why Real Madrid has been underperforming lately since it went to another club,  first I don't see that,  Real Madrid made any possible replacement plans before signing the player off the club,  and also I see that they have not made any possible strong hand replacement to that gap created also,  and this have become the basis for Real Madrid underperformance in this season and even in the last season.

Well too we may also have to look at some other factors that may have possibly contributed to their underperformance and the benzema negative effects on the club for this season which is the lack of readiness of the club management to properly manage themselves through using the available lesser players to cover up for the time.

It's true, rumors of Ancelotti's departure from Real Madrid at the end of the season have been heard since the end of last season. I don't know how it will end, but Ancelotti has won so much at club level that he might be able to make good decisions at national team level. I think whatever amount Real Madrid has to spend to bring in a new coach is not a problem, especially if they feel that it is a coach who suits the team and the players.

Xabi Alonso is one of the coaches who is rumored to be joining Real Madrid, but I'm not sure whether Real Madrid are interested in hiring him so quickly. Xabi Alonso is a former Real Madrid player, so of course he knows exactly the team's playing philosophy and the goals they want to achieve. Barcelona has Xavi, while Real Madrid has Xabi, it is a good competition between them.

Now that they secured 2 goals in this game to beat their opponent 2:1, it look like they will begin to withstand some small teams to achieve victory.

The three clubs you made mention of that is Barcelona, Real Madrid and Girona are all in good form and I like their energy they put in other win their matches. I like when their is competition in a league as that's what even bring people's attention to watch matches. So far the la liga have been very competitive with the three clubs at the forefront are not ready to drop points. I also admire the strength that the league leaders Girona has shown so far as their effort will surely take them far if they continue in this great form.

Barcelona has experience a lot of problem in this new summer that is making Girona to drag the first position with Real Madrid and Barcelona because, their coach brought a lot of skills that will help them to make some changes that will make the world to celebrate Girona coach for the good results he has helped the team to secured that lead them to such celebration.

Despite Barcelona's position in the table i still believe they're doing well, it's really not easy for the big teams now as the teams we see as less competitive are now the one's that are even performing more better now, for Barcelona they need time and more team work in other to prove their quality in this season's campaign.

There are too many news about Xabi Alonso. But I doubt if Xabi Alonso will leave his current club before the end of this season. I think Xabi Alonso will obey his contract with his current club, he wants to give a trophy for the team as well. It is important to prove his quality with a trophy, so he needs to finish this season with a trophy. Next season, maybe he will consider to move to another team if we has another plan. Well, Real Madrid can be one of his plans for the season. But we surely don't know about his plan, right?

Lol, he would never leave Bayer Leverkusen during a season. I don't believe that rumor even exists, but if it does I would immediately say it's a bad joke.

Alonso is going to give his best for the team now and I think that it could be possible Real Madrid is trying to get him for the next season. But Alonso has all the time he wants, he is still very young as a coach and if he now builds a great team in the Bundesliga, maybe he wants to stay with them for another season and keep the option to go to Real Madrid one day in the back of his head. There is really no need for him to rush anything.

Yeah Barcelona needs 5 points to replace Girona at the top of the standings while Girona is still continuing the positive trend with 5 consecutive wins so at least for this month Girona will still be safe in 1st place, Barcelona has a chance to get closer when they play against Girona next December. On paper Barcelona should be able to win and stop Girona from getting points. I think Barcelona will not waste this opportunity especially since they are playing at home, if Barcelona fails, it means their chances of getting closer will be even smaller.

To be honest, I didn't expect Girona to stay at the top of the standings because the team was not one of the great teams in La Liga before but the fact is that without star players Girona is still strong and consistent and they are even the team with the most goals scored so far, lol really unexpected. Let's see how far they can control the top of the standings while strong teams are waiting for them ahead.

Real Madrid tends to work with experienced coaches instead of working with coaches who are actually still starting their careers. Xabi Alonso could be one of the great coaches of the future if he has the opportunity to work at a top European team, but for the near future then I think Real Madrid would be better suited to Zidane than Alonso.

Zidane has proven his abilities with Real Madrid by winning many titles. His coaching abilities have been tested and recognized worldwide, but Zidane has not coached any other club apart from Real Madrid so far. Zidane is far more likely to become Real Madrid coach next season if Ancelotti drops the suitcase to become Brazil coach.

Barcelona is playing well even if it doesn't meet up with the way they played to win the league season tension from the media has influenced and affected the players mentality. They can get up and fight otherwise Barcelona will lose track of the league tittle they are chasing. 
Real Madrid are going to win the league only if they make plans to sign a new player that will score goals for the team. They have come the far with midfielders scoring. January approaching and they better do what is necessary.  Girona is doing well aslo but they can not win the league.  Girona coach has dragged them this far.

Any coach would be very happy to coach Real Madrid if an offer came to them, including Xabi Alonso. But I agree with you on this matter, it is very likely that Xabi will only be ready after achieving success with Laverkusen first. Considering that this achievement will be proof of his quality when one day he coaches Madrid, we know that controlling Madrid dressing room is not an easy thing to do.

Maybe Madrid management has already pocketed several names to replace Ancelotti in the future, including Xabi. However, I think Zidane also has the potential to return, but there is no certainty yet, we can only wait and see the contract renewal for young Madrid players first.

[Cookdata]

I'm very familiar with all this games. People are always trying hard to dishonor Anceloti performance and work in Real Madrid and that's why they are kin on pushing Xabi in the job. I remember very well from Fabrizio Romano asking him if he still plan on leaving Real Madrid but he said he doesn't want to leave such a prestigious club for now, there is no plan for that anytime soon. If there is, we will be seeing some early signs of him with less performance but he doesn't give nor take, he brought Bellingham to improve his gallery for the club.

I know he is aging which is natural cause and a time will come for him to leave the club but I feel this pressures of having successor is unnecessary. If he leave today, many of other qualified coaches will line up that will even be better than Xavi many suggesting to take over the club, let's leave the man do his job perhaps it's another season to win back another Laliga and Champions League.
