La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rengga Jati]

Real Madrid has a coach who is smart to analyze and use all the energy of his players to be the best to be able to beat Barcelona with a high score finally making Barcelona admit defeat and this must be taken into consideration for Xavi so that they evaluate his game so that one day can beat Real Madrid.

Indeed. One of the most important things when 2 giant clubs are opposite lies in how the coach decides at that time. Because, when the squads from both teams are really good and professional and strong, it's the strategy and decisions of the coach when playing that will also determine how he wins. In this case, it is not a matter of which club plays better and more beautiful, but who can best take advantage of all opportunities with the most appropriate strategy, effectively and accurately at that time without wasting opportunities. And in this case yesterday, Real Madrid had more of it, with Ancelotti as its excellent coach.

I totally agree, Xavi still needs to learn more to decide the best strategy against big clubs like Real Madrid and others.

Xavi needs to evaluate himself about that. I meant look at how bad barcelona's play. He needs to change his play style. Xavi's strategy can be predicted easily. This coach is not so good for barcelona. Barcelona was always using tiki taka strategy. Xavi is caring even more to play beautiful football rather than winning the game. Barcelona needs to play beautiful and it doesn't need to win the match against another team. Xavi think barcelona can win the tittle through playing beautiful

Lol calm down dude , you seems so upset ...

Xavi have a system that blend into barcelona bloods , to play a quick pass and then get through the penalty box ... but that time against real madrid yesterday ... ancelotti did really good counter against xavi system , so for me nothing wrong with xavi , he's been developing the club from its dark times into the barcelona today , it's just a couple upset matches , yet he still doing good.

You don't need to remind Xavi, he must evaluate everything after Barcelona was defeated by Inter Milan and Real Madrid. He should know if the tactic doesn't work effectively and the lineup looks not properly. According to the big matches against Inter Milan and Real Madrid, the problem is in Barcelona defense. Barcelona defenders performed very poorly, in the last two matches Barcelona already got 6 conceded goals. Actually, they didn't play so badly, the stats showed that Barcelona was always better in ball possession and shots attempts. It simply means that Barcelona attackers and midfielders played quite well. So, Xavi needs to strengthen Barcelona defense. He should plan to buy experienced defenders in January (next transfer window).

By the way, I disagree if Xavi only focused on playing beautiful. He knows that scoring goals should be the priority. He is only unlucky that Barcelona squad doesn't really as strong as expected. In the previous transfer window, Barcelona too focused on signing attackers, they forget to sign more top defenders. Kounde seems not enough to strengthen Barcelona defense.

Wrong, too much passing. Barcelona was always getting big ball possession against intermilan but why inter was always doing better than it. I don't wanna compare it to real madrid caused by real is too good for barcelona. I just compare it with inter and how inter is even better in term of execution with low ball possession.  It's better to seeing the truth about that https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1581740844729581570

I don't think with Xavi Hernandez evaluate with his tactic keep ball possession dominance and created many passing in a games because he has adopted with this games style on every match. Seems Barcelona match prefer with how beautiful and many passing created not try how effective make counter attack and created many attempt chance than ball possession dominance only. I think need to changed mindset about Barcelona games play always try with tiki taka, all team know what the weakness from tiki taka.

Goal from Karim Benzema at el casico last match building from counter attack how Vinicius Jr success make great dribbling and weakness from Barcelona defender most slowly and not ready with counter attacking by against team. I think tiki taka is not wrong but need to evaluate and go ahead adopted how to make faster counter attack when have chance, not focul with ball possession only or passing but also how effective created many attempt and scoring many goals.

[Despairo]

Alaba, Mendy, Militao, Carvajal and Rudiger will mad when they read this

Although they don't get a spotlight from the medias, it doesn't mean they're just an average defenders who play football. Actually the defenders on this match is really good since they're really make Barcelona's striker hard to shoot on the target since Courtois is injured, Lunin is just a substitute goal keeper who only play against weak club. If Courtois isn't injured, the match will end 3-0 since the goal from Barcelona is a mistake from the Real Madrid's goal keeper who play bad.

How can you say real Madrid didn't played well defensively, I thought everyone will be praising the real Madrid defence today, here you are talking what I don't understand, don't you know if the defence was not great the attack will be shaken, Mendy and alaba works their sucks off, Rudiger show us what Chelsea were missing since the season start, true be told if courtois was on the goal post, Barcelona won't have seen a single goal in that game.

If you didn't read my post, don't quote my post just to hit your quota requirement!
When did I say Real Madrid defenders are playing bad? I say they're deserve a spotlight from the medias because they're playing very good.

Another thing we're discussing about Real Madrid and Barcelona here, what's the relation with Chelsea lol.

Real Madrid's players play so well, their coach always puts them under a lot of pressure, I think that's why Real Madrid plays very well in every match. But we have to admit that Real Madrid has many good players. But Real Madrid  He is far behind.

I don't think Ancelotti is put a lot pressure to Real Madrid's players, it will make the players can't play well since they're being forced to play. Ancelotti is a professional coach who keep motivating his teammates, that's why Real Madrid's players have a tough mental among other clubs.

Technically, Real Madrid is more favored in this El Clasico, apart from being the defending champion and playing at home, Real Madrid also have better players and play more effectively.
True, Ancelotti has built a strong team foundation, Real Madrid has been formed as a Champions team in the hands of Ancelotti and another advantage that Real Madrid has is that the chemistry between the players is very strong.
El Clasico volume one this season has officially become Real Madrid, they successfully beat Barcelona 3-1. This result deserves to be celebrated by Real Madrid because they have managed to return to the top of the standings with a difference of three points from their arch-rivals.

Real madrid are very good interms of getting experience players. They always go for the best young players in the transfer window, one that will be doing the dirty job in the team like doing the tackling and intercepting the ball when the opponents looks like gaining it. The los blancos coach, Carlo Ancelotti is really the perfect replacement of Zinedine Zidane. They're the most successful team in football with many UEFEA trophies to their collection and still eager for more.

An interesting game is about to start - Villarreal will be playing against Osasuna. This is a good opportunity for both clubs to pull away from each other in the standings. If there is no draw, one of the teams could overtake Valencia and get closer to fifth place. The last few games have not been very good for Osasuna, but the opponents have not been weak either. It's hard for me to predict who will win today, but I think it will be Villarreal, because they haven't had such serious games.

Villarreal 2-0 Osasuna, I don't know if the number of people that watched that match is lesser or even lesser than the ones that followed the Ballon d'Or ceremony
Villarreal is a good team and Osasuna could make surprises. Instable teams are the worst ones to be able to predict and this is exactly what Villarreal done today.

Congratulations to Villarreal for the massive victory they got from Ossasuna, because many people predicted for the favour of Ossasuna to defeat Villarreal 2-1 but the match ended up for the favour of Villarreal 2-0 to prove to people that many things has changed positively with the team in this season. Villarreal strikers are really demonstrating wonders in this season, showed that the team will go far in this season to achieve something good at the end of the tournament. If Villarreal defenders can maintain this strategies they are using not to allow their opponent strikers to have access to their goalpost, it will really help them to win their remaining matches.

I am aware for this match before and hoping Villarreal will be the winner of this match because before against Osasuna Villarreal has in the poor performance period and today finally they can able to get 3 points from this match and Villarreal deserved to get that because since the beginning of match they were dominated the match and Danjuma has deserved called as man of the match with his 2 goals and first goal also looks special because it came from back leg flip kick and after this result Villarreal current position at 7th below to Bilbao

The Barcelona team is not strong yet. We must accept this. Barcelona have played well in La Liga because they don't face strong opponents. Barcelona's squad has already proven how effective it is against strong teams. Barcelona dropped points against all three teams, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Madrid. And their defense was very weak. While Xavi has focused on strengthening his attack, he has not strengthened his defence. As a result, Barcelona cannot play well against strong teams.

Among the 7 new Barcelona players this season, then you should probably know that there are 4 defenders they have listed. Marcos Alonso, Christensen, Kounde and Bellerin are Barcelona's new signings this season and I think Xavi has also had a focus on his defense which has made your assumptions wrong. But the problem is, Barcelona must accept the fact that many defenders have to miss out due to injury. Honestly, this injury has put Barcelona's defense in trouble especially in the Champions League and more recently against Real Madrid.

Barcelona has added several defenders to their squad. I know this. But even then I would say that Xavi didn't focus on his defense. He added players to the squad but did not help them adapt to the team properly. He is more focused on his attack. But he is not interested in strengthening the bonding between the players. The performance will not be strong if the players of the midfield with the defense and the forwards with the midfield are not well balanced. Barcelona's gameplay clearly shows that the bonding between the players in the defense is not good. Their performance is poor due to poor understanding between the players. Xavi is not trying to improve the relationship between his defenders or he has failed.

Xavi is indeed very poor and even became the worst coach in the history of barcelona. In fact, during Xavi's coaching period for Barcelona, ​​this 42-year-old coach had a worse record than other Barcelona coaches in 50 matches. Xavi was only able to make 28 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats. This is a bad value compared to previous coaches such as Ronald Koeman and Ernesto Valverde.
The defeat of his rivals, Real Madrid with a score of 1-3 made everyone disappointed and made Barcelona management shrouded in doubt on Xavi.
Even this threat of dismissal haunts Xavi, if Barcelona never shows an increase in performance in every match that follows. If Xavi is sacked Barcelona can find a better coach than Xavi.

I hadn't realised that, but I did look on the internet and saw that Xavi is even worse than Koeman.

This is going to be a burden because Laporta will not want to get rid of him until the results force him to. So, either Barcelona will start to get perfect results or every little blip will put extra pressure on them, while Madrid will be able to look at their rivals' problems in a relaxed way.

Although it's early days, I think Madrid have everything in their favour to win this league. The only thing they have to do is not screw up.

I still wanted to defend Xavi with Barcelona finance issues but just realised that big players are in the club now.

Xavi was able to bond well and easily with the Barcelona players. He was able to develop a friendly relationship with the players. And easily perceived the weaknesses of the players. So very quickly he was able to stabilize the Barcelona team. I would still say the Barcelona team is very stable. But they are not strong enough.
Xavi has added several experienced and talented players to his squad to strengthen the team. But he failed. He is not yet experienced enough. So despite having a lot of talented players, Barcelona's performances are still erratic.

Real Madrid's victory over Barcelona during the El Clasico match had a big meaning, Los Blancos finally coupling Barcelona at the top of the standings. in the end, Barcelona had to admit the might of Los Blancos.
Xavi Hernandez, in the end had to admit mistakes for his strategy. not only wrong tactics, he was also wrong with the pairs of players.

I don't even understand why Xavi is still confident to play Sergio Buesquets in the starting line-up. there were several points that were Barcelona's fault during that match, personally the Barcelona winger really played ineffective. weak back line, because it does not have a solid cohesiveness. there are many players who are absent due to injury, as a result Barcelona play poorly.

Who will Xavi include in the squad as a replacement for Sergio Busquets? Barcelona does not have experienced midfielders. Busquets is an experienced player. But he is not playing well now. The bonding of forward's players with midfield is not good. Barcelona's performance is not as good as expected due to weak bonding. Barcelona has several weaknesses in their squad. But I think the main reason for the attack's weakness is that they are not getting enough support from the midfielders. Barcelona's overall gameplay will be stronger and stronger if the performances of the midfield and defense players improve.

And after nine games that have already taken place in La Liga, only Real Madrid have been able to beat Barcelona. So it's actually very clear that Real Madrid is still much stronger and better than any other team in La Liga including the Barcelona team. One more thing that is very interesting in La Liga is that the number of points from the teams who are in 3rd, 4th and 5th place are the same and they clearly have a chance to overtake Barcelona who are in second place at this time if Barcelona do not consistently win in the next match.

Is Sergio Busquets an experienced midfielder, most definitely! but is Busquets obsolete and no longer essential, literally the freaking truth! He shouldn't be out there starting every game, he should be dropped, I'd rather have a Gavi, Pedri, Kessie or De Jong, both De Jong and Kessie can play as a CDM, or even Gavi who has been very energetic and got great passing accuracy and covers most distance on the pitch than most of other Barcelona players in most of the recent games.

I also agree that Xavi should give young players a chance. Busquets' performance is deteriorating. But perhaps because Busquets is more experienced, Xavi prefers to keep him in the squad. Before dropping Busquets from the team I would say Barcelona should change their match tactics. Xavi will not get the expected performance from the players if the match strategy is not changed. Barcelona has a lot of talented players in their squad. The tiki-taka technique is quite useful for Barcelona. Barcelona should apply the tiki-taka strategy.
