La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bekti3]

Toni Kroos definitely deserves the appreciations for him. He has been playing for Real Madrid since the 2014-2015 season. I don't remember any season that he was called like he performed badly. He has always been very solid in the midfield. He is aging maybe but this is still not affecting his performance very negatively. I'm saying this because I believe he can still maintain this performance when he leaves Real Madrid and joins a big team like them. Who knows maybe even Bayern Munich would like to have their old player back in the team then.  

It seems he will not return to playing football because indeed in several interviews he always said that Real Madrid was the last club he wanted to play for and he would most likely retire early as he said in the previous season that 33 years is the right time for him to hang up. shoes like his senior Philipp Lahm, who retired at the age of 33.

[Altryist]

Real Madrid were shocked about Toni Kroos' decision not to renew his current contract but Real Madrid respect it. Real Madrid have made it clear that they are counting on him.
I agree with your opinion Toni Kroos doesn't want to be a burden at the club if his performances decline. Last season, Toni Kroos' performance went up and down, plus age and Madrid slowly started looking for a replacement.

It can't be said that the age of 32 is a lot for football, Ronaldo is now 37 and he continues to perform at a high level. Moreover, Cross did not say that he would definitely end his career in the summer of 2023, everything will depend on how he feels on the field. On the other hand, I understand his desire to end his career, he achieved everything he wanted and now he can live in pleasure. Perhaps after a few years of rest, he will return to the world of football as a coach.

[Furious 7]

It's a shame, even though this player's role is very vital at Madrid, especially if you look at the several seasons he has done in Madrid, his role in flowing the ball is very good and he is one of the balancers between defense and attack for Madrid.
But if you look at some of the current statements, there are indications that he will retire early. Because there are some conversations that say that indeed katatua kroos will consider retiring at the age of 33 years.

Tony kroos deserves to be called a legend in real madrid, his service and contribution is very big for real madrid for what they have achieved in the last few seasons. maybe real madrid this season will lose Marcelo the best left-back and next season for sure toni kroos will leave too because his contract period is up. The issue of age may be a factor for any club to offer a new contract for a player, but I don't think Toni Kroos would choose to retire too early.

But if we look at some news and some kroos statements long before this season even from 2020 or 2021 the indications are very strong I think.
He wants to do the same as Bayern legend Lahm who retired at the same age.
In terms of age, he is indeed very young and his performance is still showing good things and can even compete at big clubs but when the decision was taken by himself, I don't think anyone could stop him from leaving the football scene at such an early age.
Hopefully this is not true because if it is true that he will retire then indeed we will definitely lose one of the professors in passing in football because the passes he makes are great.

Trough have been 8 years with Real Madrid Toni Kroos always showed his top performance on Real Madrid midfielder, almost every season Kroos never has bad performance and always become regular player with Modric and Casemiro as trio midfielder. I think he still become priority nidfielder for Real Madrid next season but he has great competitor after Real Madrid success get young player from AS Monaco Aurélien Tchouaméni. He has many competitor for next season on Real Madrid midfielder, will he still get regular poaition on Real Madrid midfielder or he loss chance with arrived Aurélien Tchouaméni and replace his poaition.

It is true that I had read several articles in the local media about Toni desire to retire at Real Madrid. In terms of his game on the field in the previous season I thought he would agree to extend the new contract offered by the madrid management but in fact he held on to his stance not to extend the contract period for the next 1 or 2 seasons. From the accuracy of his passing, there is no doubt about his ability, either in Laliga or in the Champions League, he always manages to do quite well or it can be said that his passing accuracy is above 90%.

He has retired from the German National Team and now he is also busy ending his career at Real Madrid although it is still not certain whether he wants to find a new club or does he want to retire early from club level.
But as a football lover I expect him not to stop so soon because his age is still very productive and even Madrid still want to extend his contract but on the other hand this could be a decision for him too so there is no reason to ban him.
He has already got what he wants in the National Team as well as the Club and he wants to end this on a good note because he has already won La Liga and the Champions League.

Tony kroos amongst other names at Real madrid has become a very important figure and player in the park, playing in the midfield role with co stars in the likes of Luka Modric and Casemiro. I wouldn't say he is too old to olay, it's his decision to retire we see players retiring at early age. Indeed he will be missed so much if he decides to retire now but Real madrid are already planning for this departures bringing in young players to fill in those positions.

yes, Kroos has been a fixture in the Madrid team for years. I find this very striking though. There is, to my knowledge, no other top German footballer who plays for Barcelona or Madrid. Not even in recent years. Or maybe not in the past 10-20 years. How come Kroos didn't just live in Germany at Bayern Munich or Dortmund? There must be a reason. Maybe he enjoys the nice weather in Spain too much. But even without Kroos, Madrid would still have good midfielders. Modric is also invaluable every season. Would we see Ronaldo again at Madrid?

[snipie]

The La Liga calendar has been announced and both Real Madrid and Barcelona have quite easy games in the first round scheduled mid August. In fact I find almost all games in this first round to have a clear favourite.
El classico will be played in October 16 and March 19.

When a player is not going to extend his contact with his own club we have too much rumor's and talk about this player even he is having this just for taking some more time and want to check his performance or having any personal reason it's same happening right now in Tony kroos case he is very effective player for Real Madrid for many years and management is still had full faith in his performance which is very important for player but still if he needs to take sometime then surely we have to respect his decision and wait for next movement.

It's all not going like Robert Lewandowski case where he wants to do some different and leaving his club, sometime we have money case, and sometimes we have few other reasons as well.

[lalabotax]

Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are old players. But they are still giving a lot of stability to the Real Madrid squad in the midfield. I will actually be really happy if they end their career in Real Madrid. It will be really hard for Real Madrid to find a replacement for these two players especially. I don't know about Camavinga and Cabellos, but I think Federico Valverde has good potential and he can be a regular in the midfield.

Agree. Kroos and Modric are irreplaceable for many years, they are always the main midfielders in Real Madrid. Without Kroos-Modric, Real Madrid midfielders will greatly decrease in strength. I think it will be too early if Real Madrid needs to lose Kroos or Modric, although they already have Valverde or Camavinga. Valverde and Camavinga are good players, but they still don't have a lot of experience as Kroos-Modric. They still need to learn from Kroos-Modric for at least 1-2 years again.

El classico will be played in October 16 and March 19.

Good to hear about the fixtures been released, last El Clasico saw Real Madrid winning the first round and Barcelona winning the second half. I felt since Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won't be amongst the El Clasico, there is no need watching. But damn! The El Classico is one in a million. Very sure Xavi Hernandez will get a trophy to the catalian side this season.

[tygeade]

Barcelona should realize that now the stability of the club is more important for them to think about than looking for expensive players, if barcelona continues to force themselves to recruit expensive players then it will only worsen their financial condition later, barcelona should be able to do the same like this season, namely taking advantage of the existing squad and looking for some free players who will not burden their finances, even though this season Barcelona failed to win the trophy but in my opinion Xavi managed to get Barcelona back up and their become competitors in La Liga only with the existing players and I think they can do it again next season.

What we are missing is that if they end up with a bad team, just to save some money, and have bad results then they are going to not make enough money and can't pay their debt back. I get that spending a lot of money on expensive players is a bad idea when you have debt, but dropping your revenue that much is also a bad idea, I would prefer to spend 50 million and be in the same debt as not spending it but earn 50 million less revenue because I suck.

Barcelona needs to find that right balance where they are spending just enough, but earning more than that from the wins so that they would be making a profit. Not an easy thing to do, but quite possible.

That's great, laliga will be so interesting next season,  I guess many are anticipating to see how real madrid and Barcelona will look like in the next season. Other teams in the laliga league may not be a challenge to Real Madrid and Barcelona,  the competition is between Real Madrid and Barcelona,  Barcelona we try to do their best next season.

[Rengga Jati]

I'm a real madrid fan but in my opinion what happened last season that made us win the la liga was that we were very lucky.

To be much stronger than all opponents you call luck? 
Real Madrid had a great season and the fact that other teams was in crisis cannot detract from Real excellent performance and results.

I wonder how can he called himself as a fan of Real Madrid but he thought that the victory by Real Madrid is lucky 
Real Madrid won the victory and championships not only once, it has been many times. Why? because the team really deserves for the trophy. The team has stronger and more solid squad, management, coaches, and also strategy than others. Moreover if we see the statistics. real Madrid performance is always great.

It is good to know that Real Madrid and Barcelona probably get easy points in the early season. I want to see Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla can be in the top 5 since the beginning of the season. So, we will see a tight competition for the top position, they will try to win every match with as many goals as possible. Anyway, it is interesting to see the El Classico schedule in October, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough time to prepare for the big match. Let's hope we will see an entertaining match from both teams.

Compared to other La Liga teams, of course, Real Madrid's performance is much better, so Real Madrid really deserves to win a trophy. So it is
very strange to say that Real Madrid can win the La Liga trophy this season because of luck. Real Madrid's appearance this season can be said
to be quite consistent, even the difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is in second place, is quite far. This means that
Real Madrid really deserves to be the winner of the La Liga trophy, especially since Benzema's performance this season has been extraordinary
and consistent. It has helped Real Madrid to win a lot games in La Liga, so for me Real Madrid have played really well this season. Although
I am not a Real Madrid supporter, I admit that Real Madrid is indeed better than other competing teams. Real Madrid not only has a very solid
teamwork,  but Real Madrid also has a winning mentality, so I don't see Real Madrid lucky to win the La Liga trophy this season.

Real Madrid is really strong compared to the other teams in La Liga and they obviously deserved to win the La Liga title. It is not luck, it is just having a better team than every other team in the league. I think you can say that Real Madrid was lucky based on Real Madrid not having enough competition. Real Madrid was the strongest team but even after that, they had some problems in the defensive lineup. Now they have already fixed that as well. So, now I think they will be hardly any competition for them in the next season again.

I think it's still less interesting, especially when discussing these two teams. There's not much the two clubs have done about each other's formation changes, so I feel I will still see this rival the same as the previous season. Initially I expected Barcelona, because they are in 2nd position and to get past Real Madrid, at least the team needs to change formation in some positions, especially hoping to bring in some names that could potentially help Barcelona.

I personally think it is quite hard to manage for Barcelona right now and it will be a lot better if they just stay away from making any type of big transfers right now. That is the only way they will be able to reduce all the debt that they have effectively. But during that time the results are not going to be good for Barcelona. And if they can take that they will be able to make a strong comeback. For now, I think they should not spend too much at all.
