La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Normally, we got a great match between Sevilla and Barcelona next weekend. However, the match seems like it is postponed. I'm really curious about what the reason can be. Let's say that they postponed it because they both have a CL match only after 3 days. But for example, Real Madrid are going to be playing their La Liga match and CL match which is only 3 days later also.

Some matches have been postponed due to schedule conflicts between La Liga schedule and World Cup Qualification in South America a lot of players in La Liga are from there so they are asked to play for their country, this problem doesn't happen to Madrid because maybe all the players don't come from there so they have no reason to ask for a schedule change. Btw the decision is not final as I read the request for schedule change has not been approved.

I see that Atletico Madrid's next competitor is Espanyol in one week. As we know, Atletico Madrid loaned Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona in the last minutes of the last transfer window. I really want to see Griezmann and Luis Suarez side by side in an official match. It is an away match for Atletico Madrid but I think that they will win this by one goal in the worst case.

Did you hear what Riquelme said about Messi? He said he thinks Messi will return to Barcelona next year. After winning the champions league this year with Mbappe and Neymar, he will return home next year and retire in Barcelona

If Messi thinks he is a professional player, he must stay in PSG until his contract ended. So, I assume Messi won't consider coming back to Barcelona next year. Talking about UCL, there is no guarantee that PSG will win UCL this season. It is strange to see Riquelme's statement, how can he become too confident saying "after winning UCL title this year". No one knows which team to win the UCL title this year. Anyway, where do you get this information? Can you share the source link here?

You do realize that people just cultivated the number 10 in Barcelona, right?) Yes, maybe psychologically it will make Fati play better and even strive to become a better player, and I think Fati is capable of that. Young blood who is just starting to show himself may well develop into the new Messi. I don't judge players by their numbers, especially if people have imposed it, but Fati is very promising at the moment, and will be if he doesn't catch "star"

Ansu Fati is not that good, remember Messi when he was at his age? Dude was already a star at the time and we are talking about an 18 year old kid here. I am not saying that Ansu will not be a good player, he will be a great player, maybe even a star player all of those are probable but how many stars do we have in the football world right now? I could count at least 20-30 players who would be considered a star, probably more according to some people, but how many of them ever reached the level Messi has reached?

It is nearly impossible to find "next Messi" because there is only one, we are talking about arguably the best player to ever play this game, some may say some other name but there are a lot of people like me who say Messi was the best player to ever play this game. You can't expect something like that from some 18 year old kid, it is going to be very tough for the kid as well to wear that jersey because it may wear him down too.

I also am curious about Atletico's next game with Griezmann. I'm happy to see him back at his old team after two years. He didn't play bad at Barcelona actually but his best times were with Atletico. I know that this is a loan deal but there is an option to buy for Atletico. If they decide to pay €80m for him, they will have him back as far as I know. But I'm not sure whether Atletico would pay this amount for a 30-year-old player.

Why does Koeman want more Dutch players to join his current team? I saw the same thing when Luis Van Gaal coached Manchester United. Barcelona have signed at least 2 Dutch players this season (Depay & Luuk De Jong). Don't know why he wants more players of the same nationality as him at Barcelona. I feel strange about Barcelona's decision and Koeman's desire so far to have a lot of Dutch players in Barcelona.

I could count at least 20-30 players who would be considered a star, probably more according to some people, but how many of them ever reached the level Messi has reached?

No, it's just because Messi is a player with a unique talent. There will not be many players who can match the achievements and skills possessed by Messi. His soccer skills are limited edition according to. One can come close to Ronaldo's skills if they want to train harder, but no one can come close to Messi's. I think we were all lucky to be able to enjoy two of the best players in the history of football in the same era, but now they are almost retiring because of their old age. Just a few years from now, football will lose the best talent of two of the best players in its history.

I don't think it is that unusual that coaches of a certain nationality also like to have players of their respective nationality on their team. It is not a must of course, but it does happen at times. I still stick to my opinion that Koeman isn't the best coach for Barcelona anyway. I can also hardly imagine that he got along well with Messi.

Messi's play style is indeed so unique that it is unlikely we'll get to see that once again anytime soon. He is pretty much the only one who can frequently play slalom with 8 opponents over the whole pitch within just a couple of seconds. I guess the strongest we'll get to see are Mbappe and Haaland for the years to come.

No need to be surprised if there are coaches who buy a lot of players according to their country, this is indeed done by several coaches. Apart from
Koeman and Val Gaal, there is Nuno Espirito Santo who bought a lot of Portuguese players when he was coach of Wolves. If we look at when Wenger
was still Arsenal coach, he bought quite a lot of French players. Maybe some coaches do that, because they are easier to communicate and give
instructions to players who have the same language. Or it could be that some of these coaches have a lot of information regarding players who are
from the same country as the coach, so more confident in the abilities of the players he bought.

Atletico Madrid should be able to win their next league match which is against Espanyol away. Espanyol are the last champions in the La Liga 2. But they don't seem to be very effective about scoring so far. They couldn't score any goal in first three matches so far but conceded only one goal also. Atletico Madrid might have difficulty in breaking their defense in the first half. But they will make it in the second half I believe. And as Griezmann has joined the team also, they should be stronger on attacking now.

frankly speaking barcelona is in need of getting a new messi, if they could get Mbappe quality players they would be fine or if they could bring neymar back it would be a good option, but barcelona is a strange club that lately makes strange decisions to the point of selling good players and buying bad players, something very strange, so I'm not surprised what Koeman is doing, it's something that has become normal for barcelona to make strange contracts or that people question if they were good or not, I don't see Koeman being a good choice for barcelona, if barcelona had hired zidane they would have made a good choice

I don't see any point in bringing Messi back to Barcelona. Firstly, in any case, Messi will have at least one more year of his contract left, and I don't think that a professional like Messi, who has spent his career at the same club, will try to change the team at the end of just one season, even after winning the Champions League. Barcelona is in the process of rebuilding the squad and is now trying to get rid of the dependence of the team game on Messi and there is no point in rebuilding the game again if the game is successfully rebuilt. Unfortunately, I think that it was a transfer from Barcelona with a one-way ticket and a return is possible only after the end of Messi's playing career, when the Argentine either takes an official post in the club's structure, or takes up a coaching career like Zidane.

Messi is one of the most professional football players in the world. Leaving Barcelona was a different situation, maybe he could retire there. I'm sure he'll want to come back too. We will see what he will do

I am 100% sure that Messi will return to Barcelona, but the question is what his function will be by then? He could probably become president whenever he wants. Or manager or whatever else there is.

The situation where Messi leaves PSG already next year would probably arise when Mbappe leaves, and even Neymar leaves for another club. I doubt that Messi would stay then. On the other hand there are so many things that can happen next year. It is also the World Cup year. I expect Messi to take his time regarding the option to extend his contract with PSG, but well, the World Cup is in Winter so he has to make his decision before that. It is going to be a weird soccer year for all of us anyway.

Depay is not a graduate of the club. Laporta now wants to repeat the success of his first presidency in Barcelona. To attract more players from LaMassia to the team. Let's see if he succeeds this time. And maybe that's why they gave the 10th number to Fati. There is talk that we have already reached an agreement with Olmo from Leizpig, who is also a pupil of the club.

Depay is a short term plan for Barcelona and he is there because the coach is Koeman. The future of Koeman is uncertain and if he has to leave the club, Depay will have not too good future there.

Dani Olmo is a very good player and I am impressed with what he shown in Euro 2020. He is one of most important players for Spain in that tournament.

The game in Germany and in Spain are different levels. And what he shows in Leizpig does not mean that he will be able to show in Barcelona. He is an excellent player and there are great prospects. But whether he can prove himself in LaLiga is a big question for me.

Real Madrid's next match is going to be against Celta Vigo next Sunday. Real Madrid started to the season quite well. They have gotten 2 wins and 1 draw so far and they are the current leader in the standings. However, I will not say the same things for Celta Vigo. They had a quite bad start by losing 2 times and not winning yet. And I can't say that they have a good luck against Real Madrid also. Celta Vigo won against them on Jan 18, 2017 the last time. I think that Real Madrid will beat them here with at least 2-goal difference.

The numbers and the odds as well are in favor of Real Madrid, no doubt about it. Celta made a bad start and I agree with you that this game will be another defeat for them.
Real also faces problems and every match is difficult for them to take the win. Still, I expect them to win this a lot easier than all their previous ones. One goal difference is enough...

I can doubt that ability of Dani Olmo if only look at his performance in Leipzig and compare the general quality, competitiveness of Bundesliga and La Liga.

After I watched the performance of Olmo in Euro 2020, I don't have any doubt about his ability to succeed in La Liga. He had great matches in the Euro and he played very well with Spanish players in the national team. It shows Olmo's playing style is good if he plays in La Liga.

I think Olmostyle of play is almost similar to Luka Modric playing style so far and after seeing his appearance several times in UERO matches, I think Olmo is a pretty talented player and he is good at finding gaps to pass the ball and also score goals, and of course if Olmo comes back to Barcelona will certainly be very helpful for their attack line later.

Wear here down psychologically? If so, I agree with you, but he is no longer a child, he is 18 years old. He was a child when he first came to Barcelona. I didn't mean literally to find a new Messia, but someone who can play as well as him. Messi is certainly the best player in the world and in my own opinion, I have nothing against him, but if they gave him the jersey with number 10, it means they believe in him and see the potential

Dani Olmo is a very talented player. He played an important role in the Spanish team. I have had the opportunity to enjoy his extraordinary skills in a few matches in Spain. I believe he will be able to adapt very quickly to the Barca team. And will become an important player in the team, if Koeman can guide him properly.
