La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[mv1986]

Bale and Hazard are Perez's faulty passes. Tottenham and Chelsea worked hard to sell these players. You shouldn't expect them to be stable and good games. Peres should try to sell them and buy younger and more promising players.

Bale and Hazard are talented players. Real Madrid made no mistake in bringing them to the team. If their fitness problems could be fixed then we would get proof of their ability. Neymar also has a lot of fitness problems. PSG paid him a lot of high salaries, but Neymar could not play for almost half the season due to injury.

But Neymar is still different. He is not that prone to injuries as Bale and Hazard. When Neymar played for Barcelona he hardly missed any games. Bale also has motivational issues. Just recall that he played gold alone when the team met to have a team barbecue or other team building events. It often looked like he is an isolated part of the team, but he did play well. The goals he scored in the champions league or in the copa del rey final against Barcelona were just amazing.

I agree with you. Neymar is still different. He suffered fewer injuries when he played for Barcelona. He had outstanding performances with Messi and Suarez. But at PSG he has suffered a lot of injuries. He has been at PSG for 4 years. Neymar has played only 70 out of around 150 matches in 4 seasons. He has played in less than half of the matches. Hazard, on the other hand, has played 30 matches for Real Madrid in two years. However, we must remember that the salaries of Neymar and Hazard are not equal. Neymar's salary is too high.

Ok I must confess I didn't know that Neymar's list of injuries was so long and severe in Paris. Usually when you watch the games he is on the pitch most of the time, at least it seemed to be the case to me. Anyway, Neymar's salary in Paris is a joke as much as the transfer fee for him was a joke.

Considering the salary aspect, since Neymar's salary is slightly lower than Messi and Ronaldo, we should compare Neymar with Messi and Ronaldo. After spending so much money, no club would want their players to be injured so much and out of the field on important matches. Messi and Ronaldo play more than 30 matches each season, but Neymar is unable to play in 20 matches due to injury.

Those are athletes who won't always be fit and that can no longer be a reason for them to regret paying so much, and it's a risk for clubs to continue to pay for them and care for them when they are injured. They are big teams that should not have problems with finances, dare to bring in expensive players so they are ready with all the risks. Otherwise, they could continue to rely on their own academy players but unfortunately that was very rare.

I agree with you, they are athletes, they will not always be fit, that's right. But when a club buys a star player and pays a very high price, the club and the player's fans expect a lot more from him. Has Neymar lived up to that expectation? I also like Neymar's style of play, he has great dribbling skills. But over the last few years, we’ve gotten him very little on the field. I want him to play better and impress us.

I think with Barcelona having a lot of trouble last season and will need to get rid of players or reduce wages at the minimal I think the league quality is going to drop and Real Madrid will win a lot more titles in the next decade than any other team. English football and German football look to be taking over the status of la Liga.

My prediction for this season would be Real Madrid, Atheltico then Barcelona in 3rd.

The EPL has always been the number #1 league in the world bro , but speaking about Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title, I think you are right.

Maybe the players will be slightly demotivated in the title race with Barcelona's financial situation.

If we look at the quality and achievements of the top clubs in the leagues the Spanish teams have dominated English teams. Even if we look at top English clubs going against the challengers in Spanish football they have lost. Sevilla and Athletico have a good record against english teams.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

The EPL has always been the number #1 league in the world bro

Number #1 in the overal ranking table and in income from TV rights but clubs there are not always best clubs in the Europe. Traditionally, they have less Champions League than La Liga and Serie A. The England team don't win any national title since World Cup 1966.

They have less total Ballon Dor than players in La Liga and Serie A.

but speaking about Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title, I think you are right.

Maybe the players will be slightly demotivated in the title race with Barcelona's financial situation.

Barcelona with Kun, Depay, Messi and the second season of Koeman will become more competitive. Pedri has an amazing Euro and I hope he will bring it back to the club, and matures more in a new season.

Barcelona will be very interesting in La Liga 2021 - 2022.

Barcelona's preparations are even more mature after several players have anchored in the Barcelona squad and one of them might be Kun, Depay, Messi will be the main striker with a 3 striker formation, could this be combined in the old game?
Some midfielders as well as Barcelona have changed it, I think this has been matured and will be more competitive in the coming season.
Koemen must be able to prove in his second season with Barcelona, if it fails again I don't know what will happen to him.

Bale used to be a good player and a good deal for Real Madrid years ago. In the latest seasons, he wasn't top anymore. Now under Ancelotti he has to prove himself again or he will be trashed like what happened to him under Zidane.
For Hazard, personally I find his contract a failure and disaster for Real Madrid regardless of his talent.
Neymar is unstable player yet he can add something to PSG, that doesn't mean that PSG could not find a better substitute than him.

Bale is definitely a talented player. And he has proven his skills many times in the past. I am hopeful that he will play well again under the leadership of Ancelotti. Moreover, no other striker of the team was successful in the previous season except Benzemaa. Ancelotti needs to use Benzema, Bale and Hazard properly this season.

Although gareth bale showed good performances during his loan spell at tottenham last season, but I am a little doubtful if bale will return to get a place in the madrid squad next season, especially now the number 11 jersey that is often worn by bale has been worn by Marco Asensio and this indicating that Bale may no longer be taken into account by Ancelloti considering his age has reached 32 years, until now even Bale has not received certainty about his future at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Carlo Ancelotti has never issued a statement in media if Bale is included in his scheme next season.

It looks like the three of them will make a good trio under Ancelotti, but I'm not sure Bale will earn a regular place in the first team throughout the season. It's true that Bale is a player who contributed a lot to Real Madrid in the past, but after he started to fall I don't think he will ever be able to reach the same level again. Things are different now for him and I doubt Ancelotti will give him the full game for the whole game. At 32 years old, it looks like the prime of his career is over and it will be very difficult to win the trust of a coach who want the strength of younger players.

I don't think he will be on the bench for the rest of the season, he will still get minute under Ancelotti.

Bale is still a very good player no matter what,his age is the only reasons Ancelotti is having some selection headache,if not Bale is a regular starter at Madrid.But if Ancelotti is to forget about his age and use him,the combination of Benzima,Bale Asensio at that front will really be interesting to watch.

I still think that Neymar played the most important games and that is very important, and getting injured is not something a team or a player can foresee beforehand, you just happen to get injured and that's it. Plus Neymar was seen as "the" player after Messi/Ronaldo period, when you get the best player in the world then you pay both his club and himself a lot of money.

36 million is not really that high if you ask me considering Messi still gets 50 million at his age, Messi currently is not better player than Neymar THAT much, you can argue if he is still better or not, but if you give Neymar than do you agree that Messi is twice as better? I do not think so. Neymar is a world star and just his name still sells jerseys so I believe that paying him a lot of money makes sense. Same goes with Mbappe, one day that dude will earn 50 million a year as well.

Bale was transferred to Real Madrid in 2013 from Spurs. No doubt, he is still a talented player, but also he is 32 years old now. Although, he performance in Tottenham last season was awesome, Bale scored 11 goals in Premier League and 3 in the Europe League. He will indeed be productive this season in Real Madrid.

Hazard's performance last season was not impressive to me. While Benzema is really talented, he have been a key player in the Squad.

Gareth Bale has bringed so much to Real Madrid so many champions league throphies and is still really undervalued from the staff and the coaches. He proved in Tottenham that he can do well but his wage is still to big for Real or other teams

It looks like Atletico Madrid's 26-year-old central midfielder Saul Niguez will fly to England. Because Liverpool and Manchester Utd both are making an effort to sign him. He is actually a quite good player and he is still young. Maybe he can perform there in the EPL much better than now.

3 weeks ago there were talks about a possible Barcelona move but now either Manchester United or Liverpool is closer to sign him. I heard Liverpool offer 42 million £ which is a good amount, if they sell him I don't think Atletico have hard times replacing Saul. We know they can find young talents and make them shine. Yangel Herrera is at the top of this list. If they sell Saul, they will buy Herrera as replacement. Simeone is impressed by his performance last season.

In any case, there are no contenders to buy Bale, and Ancelotti has no antagonism with the Welsh player, so there is a chance that Bale will be included in the team game again. If Hazzard stops being haunted by injuries, then it will finally be possible to build a team game around the Belgian player, which did not happen earlier because of his injuries. It is difficult to build a team game around a player who is constantly eliminated, then then gains physical shape   Real Madrid, like any other super club, needs not only the constant purchase of new expensive players, but also the rational use of those players who are already in the squad and can benefit the team.

Rodrygo is facing a crucial season. With Asensio, and the expectation that Vazquez will be used in his position by Ancelotti, and the possibility of Bale continuing, this makes him in a four-way competition for one position. Marca newspaper is optimistic about his ability to withstand all this.. But this does not negate the danger about his future if he does not find enough minutes.

As for Bale guven the current circumstances, they are all in his favour, the first of which is the departure of Zidane, whose relationship with Bale was not good at all, as he was completely outside Zizou's calculations.
After Carlo Ancelotti took over, Bale will have a good chance, and the Italian said after taking the job: "I know Bale well, and if he has the motivation to play, he can have a great season." For his part, Bale, 32, confirmed that his relationship with Carlo Ancelotti is good, and he expected the Italian coach to do great things with the Royal Club. 

[ILuckyGuyI]

Gareth Bale has returned to Real Madrid. But he had a very great and productive season at Tottenham. He scored 16 goals and made 3 assists in 34 games in the last season. He scored 11 goals in the EPL which seemed like he played as a CF or something like that. Now he has only one year left on his contract at Real Madrid. And I've heard some rumours like Real Madrid don't think of extending his contract. So, this could mean that we might start watching him at Manchester Utd or Tottenham again after this season.
