La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[skarais]

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.

Dani Olmo is an outcast from Barcelona. He never got the chance to play in the Barcelona first team because he was allowed to leave on a free transfer to Dinamo Zegreb II while he was still playing for Barcelona U18. So far Olmo has played quite well for the current RB Leipzig team and has played in various position. He is a midfielder, but he can also be played as a left winger or a right winger even though he is quite dominant in attacking midfielders.

I'm not sure Koeman will stay at Barcelona until the January transfer window open again if he's not able to bring Barcelona to play well and win match. Olmo is planned to be brought in in the January transfer window, but there are still other names that Barcelona can glance at to fill the position.

Olmo appearance in the Euro semifinals against Italy was quite impressive, because with the speed and technique he had, he was able to make the Italian defenders very difficult at that time and provide gaps and passes for Alvaro Moratta to score goals, besides that Olmo is a player who can change positions both as an attacking midfielder and a wing position, So In my opinion, Olmo is a very suitable transfer target for Barcelona to replace the role of Messi or Griezman in their attack line and as far as I know Olmo was a player from the La Masia academy from 2007 to 2014, before he finally joined the Dinamo Zagreb club, So of course he won't need much time to can adapt to the Barcelona and La Liga style of play.

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.

Actually I think that Depay is living his best period in years on the field.
With Barcelona is the first key to changing things despite the short period and with the Netherlands he scores non-stop.
Griezmann's exit will give him the space he loves to be the first star and therefore logically we will see a stronger, freer and fiercer version On the field in the coming weeks.
Barca fans, did you expect this speed in integration, registration and contribution

Next week we will see the full squad of this season in Barcelona. Probably the forwards will be Fati, Aguero and Depay. Since Fati has been given the number 10 jersey, the Barcelona management may consider him an important player in the team. I'm not sure how well he can play. Moreover, Barcelona's defense and midfield do not seem very strong to me. Although they can do well in La Liga with such a squad, they will have to suffer a lot in the Champions League.

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.

LaLiga are appealing against RFEF ruling over the postponement  if a decision is made early match will be played as planned. I guess these competitions really make these teams to play under pressure as they will not even rest after these world cup qualifiers

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

This is actually very possible,  but will his Barcelona fans receive him well because champions league is on the cards and should PSG meet and he gets to destroy Barcelona, I dont see how they would want him but nothing is impossible these 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.

Oh, I see. Then I hope that we can watch this competitive match if there is no conflict in the schedule. My favourite team in this match are Sevilla actually. Because Barcelona have lost really much power after sending Griezmann on loan also. They might have a really tough time in an away match like this. Sevilla had a really good start and they might win this match also. But still, it won't be easy for any side.

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 would say that this is basically a way to get the team younger again, back in the day they did this kind of thing to build the team around Messi as well, get players who were raised in Barcelona youth and moved to other teams and get them back.

I believe as Olmo is a young player they are trying to fill the gap left from all the players that went to other teams, they need not just Olmo but many other players to make the team better, which understandably is not the case right now but that is still a fine situation if you ask me because they have to start somewhere. Olmo is a great player for his age and he will get even better in the long run as well. Do not be focusing on if he is good or not because he is good and he will be good in Barcelona as well because dude was raised there to begin with, he may have played a different style in Leipzig but he knows Barcelona textbook inside out.

Dani Olmo is a player who was at Barcelona youth team many many years ago. He has grown there but he looked for new adventures rather than staying at Barcelona. And Dinamo Zagreb got him on a free transfer. It was a really brave move to be honest. Because there was a possibility also that his career might not have gone to a very good direction. Now his market value is €50m and he is a valuable player for Leipzig. Honestly, I would really like to see him back at his old team where he has grown.

Maybe if you are referring to the Barcelona of 2 decades ago, not this current Barcelona. Yes he has the ability to succeed in La Liga but under which kind of team, coach and conditions is he going to be. Warming up the bench rarely helps a player, especially young talent to progress.

Look at most of the players Barcelona has tried to spend huge amounts of money on in the recent years. I would say it's only Depay who might have a good time as per his first few match performances.

I believe there is no doubt that Barcelona will ever be again the same club without Messi playing. Just watch his best of situations on Youtube, it is absolutely insane what this guy did for this club. He scored impossible goals, crossed the whole pitch. Do we ever expect another player to do the same?

Actually i'm not sure if barcelona will return soon to find their best performance without messi, especially now that barcelona's finances are so bad that it will greatly affect them to look for other players who can replace messi's position, in recent years the barcelona game is very dependent on performance the game shown by messi, so i think barcelona will be a bit difficult this season to win la league and even if now there is aguero in the barcelona squad, i have a little doubt if it will be very helpful for barcelona.

[Chathusand]

The news that Messi has decided not to renew his contract with Barcelona astounds me. This is awful news for the team's fans as well as the team itself. Without Messi, Barcelona appears to be a team that is no longer a force to be reckoned with, and Laliga will soon be displaced by other European competitions.

We had this discussion weeks ago and I don't see the point of popping it out again.
Messi's page in Barcelona was turned and the club has to start another era without counting on a single player.
Barcelona will face Bayern in CL next week, it will be a challenging match for both teams and Barca has to avoid a big loss at any cost or else Koeman will be threatened.

Everyone knows that Messi is a great player who became a key player at Barcelona, without Messi, Barcelona will be a different team but that doesn't mean Barcelona will perform badly, it's just that there might be a slight decrease in performance.

In the past, when Messi was injured or he can't play for other reasons there were times when Barcelona could still play well and win the games, so for now, Barcelona should be able to keep playing impressively, as long as the whole team can give their best performance and keep playing as it should be.

Barcelona may be a bit weak, but it is not the case that they will lose all the matches without Messi. If Koeman can manage the team properly, Barcelona will be able to reign in the La Liga. However, they will have to face a lot of problems in the Champions League. Because we don't know yet how strong their forward will be. On the other hand, their defense is not very strong. When playing against a strong team, their defense often collapses badly. But I'm looking forward to seeing what strategy Koeman adopts this season.

In modern football, the whole game cannot be kept on one player, so I believe that Messi's departure is significant, but it is not critical. Barcelona's attacking line is very strong and has a lot of talented players who can prove themselves and realize their potential when the place of the top scorer in the team was vacated.

It is going to be quite hard for Barcelona to go back to their old days of course. Without Messi, it is their first season in the end. They will need to adapt to playing like this first. Maybe they won't be able to fight really hard for the league title also after losing Antoine Griezmann to Atletico Madrid too. They still have Aguero, yeah. But he is still injured and not happy about Messi's leaving as far as I know.

If Griezmann had been in the squad, I would have called Barcelona's attacking lineup strong. None of us know yet how much Aguero and Depay will be able to adapt to Barcelona's strategy. Besides, I don't think Barcelona's midfield and defense are very strong. However, since I am a Barcelona fan, I hope they play well.

Yes, that's what I mean. The determining factor in a team is not only the players but the coach also plays a very crucial role. Losing Messi is something hard for the team, for that, Koeman must be able to present a good composition with the current squad. Even if the team is in a bad state, the coach must do his best to provide a solution because it was his job and he was paid for it.

It shouldn't be critical also. Because even if Messi continued at Barcelona, he was going to retire sooner or later. He is a legend yeah but he is not immortal in the end.    I even think that it is better for Barcelona to lose him already now. They can get accustomed to play without him and they can start playing good earlier than expected. Besides, Barcelona have a really awesome youth academy. I'm sure that they have a bright future.
