La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[G_Besar]

Last season we saw Real Madrid's weak defence. Real Madrid has had to play completely defensively in a number of matches due to poor defence alone. And so this season they have taken Antonio Rüdiger to the team to strengthen the defence. I would say Antonio Rüdiger was successful enough with Chelsea last season and he played well enough in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has signed young Aurélien Tchouaméni. I think Aurélien Tchouaméni is being considered as an alternative to Luka Modrich. If Aurélien Tchouaméni's fitness is good then we will see him for several seasons with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid successfully landed Rudiger and Thcouameni. Many people think this is the right step. Rudiger was brought in for free from Chelsea and he is an experienced player. This is a very big advantage for Real Madrid. Rudiger is believed to add strength in defense, it is likely that Rudiger will be paired with Militao, while Alaba will be shifted to his original position as left back.

Likewise with Thcouameni, he will be prepared as a successor midfielder with Valverde and Camavinga to replace their current best old trio of midfielders. So Real Madrid's recruitment this summer was the right one and I predict Real Madrid will dominate La Liga again.

Real Madrid will probably experience a slight change because of three of the madrid players like marcelo, isco and bale. Although these three players are rarely seen, at least Marcelo and Isco participated in half of Madrid's matches last season.
And for Barcelona I corrected a bit because they weren't aggressive in signing players this season, there weren't even any new names besides a few loan players, right?

To be fair, how much did they really play? Bale didn't play at all, Isco didn't neither too many times I believe, and maybe Marcelo was the only one who had some. Marcelo played about 800 minutes, on 17 games. Isco played 400 minutes on 17 games as well (mostly last minute bench subs), and Bale had under 300 minutes with just 7 games. So all of them combined do not have as much as one starter, all three totals.

This is why I think these three leaving means absolutely nothing at all. You could literally get some youth team player at age 17 and put them on this bench duty and they would be able to give the team at least this much. Hence, I believe that it doesn't change anything for the team.

I assume that Real Madrid are going to be favoured for the league title again. They had a really good dominance last season and they would like to keep it up. They have completed nice deals so far Tchouameni and Rudiger. They are trying to keep the squad quality as high as possible. For now I started seeing them as the most reliable team for the title next season. But things can change after seeing the performances. I wonder what Barcelona will do and how they will answer them. Xavi is doing good and we will see if they will keep this going next season too. It'd be lovely to see a good competition between these teams.

In fact, there's a match where Benzema was side listed due to injury, I think carlo decided to play either Asensio or Rodrygo as a number 9 leaving Jovic on bench.

Asensio and Rodrygo in my opinion are much better than Jovic and that's why they were Ancelotti's options when Benzema was out. I know Jovic is needed sometimes too but I would prefer Rodrygo to get more chances to prove his worth. Obviously Jovic needs a high chance of playing rather than having to sit a lot on the bench, but the competition for the best there has seen him sit down more than play.

[Pokapoka124]

Real Madrid team looks organized at the moment, they have good players and talent as well. The same players who won the league and the champions league are still present and can compete at all levels for the club next season. Lewandoski is one hell of a player but I don't think they need Lewandowski now they have Benzema who is a replica of Lewandowski judging from his form and finishing level, what they need now is to sign 2 to 3 players to replace the outgoing players

[MonsterV]

Real Madrid are the most stable team and I think next season will be no different. In addition, Barcelona are also likely to lose a few players, who they will have to sell because they are in financial trouble and could use every euro. In principle it is almost certain that Frenkie de Jong will leave there, someone of his caliber cannot easily be caught in midfield. And then you need time to put it down again. I think another easy title for Real Madrid.

[judas]

Barcelona are thinking about signing Adama Traore permanently now. The agreement is expected to be around 30 million euros. Honestly I was a little biased about him before leaving Wolves to join Barcelona. I wasn't expecting him to perform much well. But he did really good and it was nice to watch him playing for Barcelona. They must also be happy with his performance that they want to make it permanent. However 30 million is a big amount for them because of the financial issues. They will need to spend their money carefully now.

[herurist]

On the other hand, there is information that Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti does not want the player to leave and is ready to do everything to convince Jovic to stay in the team.

I really wonder how he's going to convince Jovic to stay, given the fact that Carlo barely gave him a chance to start matches. There were times when you could see Benzema need to rest, but carlo didn't bother to rotate.

In fact, there's a match where Benzema was side listed due to injury, I think carlo decided to play either Asensio or Rodrygo as a number 9 leaving Jovic on bench.

I don't think this will happen and I still believe Jovic will be Fiorentina next season.
The reason is simple, Jovic was not given many opportunities there, even last season Jovic was only given one chance to compete there.
Fiorentina is definitely worth it for Jovic regardless of what he will be able to start and his position is definitely quite safe there.

In football, the squad in the team may not give you the title but it is the performance of the players and the teamwork they showcase that will determine if a team will win the trophy. Real Madrid has a good number of players no doubt but other teams like Barcelona, Seville, and ATM are also getting good players so that they can compete for the title next season. Barca has some financial issues but selling some players doesn't mean they can not have a good team again I believe they still have some quality players that will perform very well next season .

And so this season they have taken Antonio Rüdiger to the team to strengthen the defence.

Yes, Real Madrid has fixed their defense problem by signing Rudiger. I think this season they won't have a problem in defense, they have strong defenders now. 2 strong CBs (Rudiger, Alaba), completed with strong and experienced left & right backs (mendy, Carvajal). Real Madrid can be more confident now since all their lines are ready for the new season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has signed young Aurélien Tchouaméni. I think Aurélien Tchouaméni is being considered as an alternative to Luka Modrich. If Aurélien Tchouaméni's fitness is good then we will see him for several seasons with Real Madrid.

Tchouaméni isn't the sucessor for Modric, his main position is defensive midfield. He will be the sucessor for Casemiro. While for Modric, Valverde who is the right player to be his sucessor. Of course, it is good to have Tchouaméni because he will be one of the future trio midfielders in Real Madrid (Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde).

What do you say friend? Barcelona have sent Adama home because he wasn't made a permanent player there and he's gone home and is at Wolves again now.
Indeed, at first Barcelona wanted to sign Adalma at that price but if I'm not mistaken it was at the beginning of Fenruari where he was brought in on loan there.
His performance at Barcelona was not too good so he was returned to Wolves.

[lalabotax]

I really wonder how he's going to convince Jovic to stay, given the fact that Carlo barely gave him a chance to start matches. There were times when you could see Benzema need to rest, but carlo didn't bother to rotate.

During this time, he rarely played and was in the main lineup. Most of the time he is on the bench and this may make his development not too much moreover, he has not been able to show his best game. And sometimes when he gets the opportunity to play, he is not able to take advantage of that moment to perform optimally for the team. That's why he's still so far away from Benzema.
That is why it may think that Real Madrid still needs a center forward that is much stronger to be a substitution for Benzema if once he cannot be in the lineup.

It's better if Real Madrid let Luka Jovic move to another team, because several times Luka Jovic was given the opportunity to play but did not
show satisfactory performance. I don't know if it's because Ancelotti hasn't given Jovic more playing time, so Jovic couldn't show a good form,
or because Jovic didn't fit the Real Madrid style of play. What is certain is that Luka Jovic is not a bad player, because when he strengthened
Frankfurt, Jovic's performance was very good, and became one of Frankfurt's best players. Hopefully Luka Jovic can be successful in Serie A
with Fiorentina, and for Real Madrid it is better to find a new striker in this year's transfer market. Because Real Madrid doesn't have a striker
who has good quality right now, especially since Benzema is not young anymore, so from now on Real Madrid must have prepared his successor.
Moreover, Real Madrid next season has a busy match schedule, so Ancelotti has to rotate players, because forcing Benzema to play almost
every game will put Benzema at risk of injury.

[Velvet78]

I think that there is no problem about Luka Jovic's departure to join Fiorentina on loan right now. They loaned him to Frankfurt in the 20/21 season and they can do this again. Because he hasn't found too many chances here at Real Madrid. When he did he couldn't even show a satisfying performance. Because his playing time was not that much. So I think that it is better for him to try his luck with Fiorentina. He will need to work hard there too by the way as Arthur Cabral has been performing really good after Vlahovic's departure.

[nurilham]

In fact, if you look at their performance this season, they have not played well, they have difficulty scoring goals and this is quite bad.
A storm of injuries occurred for them and after the players recovered they struggled to score goals.
Now Suarez is not there and it's a loss for them and have to find a new striker for that. Griezman's performance is also not good enough this season and their reference is only Felix there.

Besides the injury factor, the bad performance may be caused by the wrong tactics or the weak mentality of the players. Simeone must consider adopting a new strategy or changes a bit their usual tactics. Simeone must improve the players' mentality and find a way to prevent a storm of injuries as the last season. Simeone should be busy now, he has many problems to solve. Anyway, getting a new striker is okay if Morata doesn't want to stay. But if Morata decides to stay, it is no need to have a new striker.

Simeone wouldn't change his strategies that easy. He has been using the similar structure for the team since he became their manager.

If he doesn't want to change anything, he will experience the same result as the previous season.
He doesn't need to change the whole strategy, he can change a bit on the tactics. Or he can try a new formation, or new lineups.

According to Marca, Barcelona wants to spend 200 million euros in this transfer window. These funds appeared after the club sold 10 percent of its television rights to an American investment company for 207.5 million. There are also plans to sell another 15 percent of the rights to another company for 400 million euros. So the money for the transfer should now be found. Another question is how it all correlates with other transfers that Barcelona has done and planned to do before.

[S A KHAIR]

So what's your suggestion? Buy Mbappe and Haaland?  You cannot have two Ronaldos in attack or two Buffons as goalkeepers. If circumstances develop in a negative way, then Vinicius will play a clean striker. In the future, Real will look for a replacement for Benzema, but now there is no urgent need for this.

At 34 years old, at least he is still quite capable of playing in the league for 2 more years. It doesn't look like it at the moment, but if Anceloti started from now on it would be good. He will have attacking options and time to adapt. Indeed, when Benzema was injured Madrid was a little weak because there was no pure striker. They have a hard time scoring goals. It happened this season too. If anceloti had the choice, maybe he could get it right away because that's an advantage even though he might have played less minutes.

Yes, you can buy Kylian Mbappé and Haaland bought in the same team if you were stupid. I meant that they need to start looking for someone right now and if Karim Benzema suffers any injury or something like that there is no problem and also no shortage of players who will be able to replace him. Right now it seems like there is no urgent need. But that can change with only a few injuries or bad form.

[blackened515]

Monza are opening talks with Òscar Mingueza to sign him this summer, Barcelona are not holding down the bid but will allow him leave only if the player is willingly to exit the club following the financial crash issues. The catalans will let go some of their players in the  window in other to raise funds  to stabilize the team from pending debts. Monza to Seria A league is one big news for the newly promoted side. However the Seria A League in the past season have been unpredictable ever since Inter Milan beat Juventus to lift the Seria A Title.

According to the latest news related to him seems Barcelona won't permanently Adama Traore status and it is confirmed officially and now he has return to Wolves to train again to faced pre season matches so Adama Traore will not being an Barcelona player for next season and after loaned from Wolves he has impressive debut performance but after March seems he cannot play as Xavi expectation so Barcelona has decide to ended loan duration

that's true and now that Adama Traore has returned and trained with Wolves, Adama Traore's performances with Barcelona have not been so good that I think it is very reasonable that Barcelona's decision not to sign Adama Traore permanently. while at Barcelona Adama Traore only 1 goal in 19 appearances and this is a very bad statistic for a striker in terms of playing quality. Adama Traore is not so impressive with Barcelona.
