La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[nara1892]

Despite all these problems, I think Pique's performance is no longer able to compete with young players and Pique's quality has decreased and now Barcelona is no longer needed.
and it's true that after so long the many achievements that Pique made with Barcelona and the many sacrifices he made for Barcelona and shows that he really loves the Catalan team. but this is the right time for him to leave, he is a legend who deserves to be appreciated by barcelona with the many contributions he has made.

I think he has done well. There comes a time when you have to retire, because the years go by and it shows in your performance.

However, he has hinted that he will be back one way or another. His life is Futbol Club Barcelona. I think he will do like Guardiola or others, that he intends to return in the future as a coach or in some other way linked to the club.

Age doesn't lie to him in this regard and there have been some problems internally and at Pique himself that have seen his form this season drop quite dramatically. But that doesn't really cover the fact that he was one of the legendary players for Barcelona in the golden era a few seasons ago and this was a decision that was actually quite right because he was already struggling to compete and didn't want to change clubs so retiring was my decision. which I respect enough here.

It seems the la liga is much easier to compete in for Barcelona because judging from their performance in the champions league it shows when it comes to the champions league level they are unable to compete against top teams from various leagues in Europe and for quite some seasons only Real Madrid have impressed me and put the league in top level in the Champions league.

Yes, Real Madrid are still doing well in this la Liga league competition and UEFA champions league competition too that made many people to believed that they will be among the teams that will qualify for final. I think, Real Madrid strikers are among the Pilar that made the team stronger in this season to improve higher in this la Liga league competition, because they have demonstrated well in some matches to embraced many goals that made their points to increase higher. Barcelona coach still need to work on their players in this season so that they can start withstanding on the top teams in UEFA champions league competition and other competitions too.

Real Madrid's front line did work well but they were supported by the good play of the midfield played by Kroos and Modric. This creative midfielder has always brought peace to Real Madrid's game and that is the lifeblood of their game. But Real Madrid's midfielders won't be around long considering they are also getting older, so Real Mamdrdi must start regenerating their players.

Real madrid has so many great players, any rotation that happened in the club can be executed pretty well unlike barcelona. That's why real madrid can defeat barcelona easily without any doubt. Other than modric and real madrid has hazard too.
That's why when real was facing problem caused by some players got injured and that was not a big problem for real madrid caused by all of players owner by real were world class players. There are so many players that can substitute another player that got injured. Real madrid was a dream team for any football player in the world.

The Real Madrid team itself has also seen this for a long time because it is very impossible if the team does not know how to regenerate players who are getting old to young players. Everyone can see Real Madrid playing quite well in every season, which means the Real Madrid team always makes regeneration gradually every season to prepare the team when it comes to releasing old players to other teams.

Barcelona have been poor in terms of performance this season and it comes as a huge surprise to me that after those many high profile signings they couldn't progress pass the group stages of the champions league and have to fall down to the Europa league. I hope they will be able to perform better playing in the Europa league this season. Hopefully Xavi won't give up on the Europa league and want to win silverware this season.

For their performance in the Champions League, including bad because in fact that happened during Barcelona's journey in the group. But their performance in La Liga I will shake my head that Barcelona is still a strong contender for Real Madrid in the trophy race.

There are no top players besides Lewandowski, Sergio Busquet, Gerrad Pique, Jordi Alba and ter Stegen in my opinion. In addition to the names I mentioned, all the potential players who will become stars are included by Xavi in the Barcelona squad. Starting from Pedri, Gavi, Ansu Fati to Alex Balde who still lost in terms of flying hours in European competitions.

[babo]

Concerning Barcelona, I read that Pique gonna leave the team after the next game or the game after? Did anyone hear about that rumour?

It's real, not rumour!

Gerard Pique announces he is leaving Barca

Maybe he made the decision because he loves the club and does not want his reputation is destroyed there as well as really want to help the club to save some money (that is big enough about $80M). With the saving from Pique case, Barcelona will be able to sign a world-class defender in January 2023.

I really do not see any reason for Xavi to even consider thinking that there will not be any problems if they do not capture Europa League title. If Barcelona is playing in Europa League and they do not win the Europa League title it would be a big shame for them. About Champions League, I think Barcelona fans are more likely to be able to let it slide because Champions League is obviously very challenging to win. But Europa League is not so difficult for a club like Barcelona. They should always aim for success.

Barcelona are no longer a giant like they were in the past and Xavi is unexperienced coach. Combine these factors, we can conclude that Barcelona are not the strongest candidate for Europa League title. They belong to top candidates but surely not the best there.

Barcelona should try to win La Liga title this season at any cost. At this point that is the only way to justify the money that they spent. And obviously, they should think about Europa League seriously and try to claim it in earnest.

They have chance to win La Liga and Champions League but challenge is big. They have to work, train hard and play carefully as well as seriously to fight for those titles. They need lucky support to win titles too because they are not actually stronger than other competitors in La Liga and Europa League.

this is not good news
you have to keep the players, otherwise how can you build a team for next year that performs well?
I think it is a very stupid choice to sell to make money .. you put the team back in a state of instability

Among the top names you mentioned, apart from Lewandowski, none are in good form. Pique has already ended his football career. Meanwhile, Sergio, Alba cannot expect a good future for Barca. But Stegan is fine. It is now important to have some good stars in the team.

I have no complaints about Barcelona's midfield and forward players. Barcelona have plenty of talented players. However, if the bonding between the players and their match tactics improve, Barcelona's attacking performance will improve even more. However, Barcelona's defense is still weak. Pique should not be in the squad now. He is not playing well. In every important match, Barcelona's defenders perform strangely.

Pique should not be in the squad now. He is not playing well. In every important match, Barcelona's defenders perform strangely.

I agree with the point you said. in fact, Barcelona has a very good depth of players to compete in the La Liga competition. they have talented players, it's just, it seems that the young midfielders they have need more playing time so they really mature.
so far, they often do not contribute in games that are very crucial for Barcelona. Up front, Lewandowski is a very lethal forward and he has proven to be La Liga's top scorer so far. wing strikers, it seems that this should also be of concern to Xavi. without a strong bond, they often find it difficult to provide mature passes to Lewandowski.

Yes, Barcelona's defense is still very weak, especially with the absence of Ronald Araujo due to injury. as for their veteran player, Gerard Pique, I think apart from the age factor that has entered 35 years, he also rarely has time to play so it's only natural that his performance has decreased greatly.

[Avirunes]

I think he has done well. There comes a time when you have to retire, because the years go by and it shows in your performance.

Yeah he had his ups and down. Recently he wasn't doing his best for the team but guess age was getting onto him.

 

However, he has hinted that he will be back one way or another. His life is Futbol Club Barcelona. I think he will do like Guardiola or others, that he intends to return in the future as a coach or in some other way linked to the club.

Coach, maybe but I feel its hard getting into managing top team nowadays. Xavi had only one team managed Al-Sadd but he was also having quite a success there. I am bit sure how well Pique will be if he starts managing but considering if he is doing average then I think it will get him long time before he gets opportunity to manage Barca. I think he will be back maybe by getting in Barca board or something.

Are there no more stars in the Barcelona team now? Because I see there are some good players at Barcelona and some of them still have very good careers in the team. But it's still not enough if they are not managed properly and correctly in the game. Because the good or bad of a team does not only depend on how many star players are in the team, but also influenced by the cooperation between players and also the placement of players in the lines they control.

I would say Barcelona still have a lot of star players. Don't you think Demebele, Lewandowski and de Jong are stars? But the performance of the team does not depend on the star players. I would say a team's performance depends mostly on their match strategy. Team performance is stable when match strategy is good. And the bond between the players must be strong to strengthen the team performance. There is no shortage of talented players in Barcelona's squad. However, we are yet to see consistent performances from the players as the bond between them is not strong.

Atletico Madrid really surprised most of us last week by a 3-2 Cadiz loss. I assume they would like to make up for this against Espanyol this week. They got a big hit in the Champions League also like finishing the group at the last position. Maybe their morale might be down a little in this game but they don't have any other choice than focusing on their La Liga games.

Athletico Madrid are disappointing, it may be time for Diego Simeone to go, i don't think he can take Athletico Madrid to any new height again, he has done very well for them, winning La Liga titles and playing in champions league finals, but i think he has given his best to the team, and his style is no longer effective and many teams can now face it easily. They finished last in their group, a group that was kind of weak, and should have been easy for them to qualify from, it is a bad time to be a fan of Athletico Madrid, and i think it is a good time for the management to thank Diego for his great time with them and hire a manager that will do things differently and bring a new style to the club.

The loss to Cadiz was really unexpected. They really shouldn’t have lost that match. Cadiz is still in the relegation zone. Losing against a team like that is a big disrespect for Atletico Madrid in my opinion. In last match, they also came up short against Porto in the Champions League. As a result, they finished as the last team in group B of the Champions League, which, in my opinion, was an easy group.

It feels like whatever Atletico Madrid does is not working. There is something that really needs to be changed in this situation. Honestly, I am not sure if a change of authority is going to work for them or not. Having said that, I think it is worth a try at this point in time. Although I wonder if they will be able to do that this season as at least they are in third place in the La Liga table at the moment. What if a change of authority makes them drop down from that position as well?

However, we are yet to see consistent performances from the players as the bond between them is not strong.

Well that's right, strategy is the key in every match. If we flash back when Barcelona didn't win against Inter or other top teams, Barcelona team's ball possession was higher rather than other teams. They can always control the match but they are unlucky to take their chances to score, midfielders are strong but their defense is often inconsistent, Xavi's strategy against top teams focus too much on attack.

True, in the Champions League Barcelona are not as vicious as in La Liga, defeats are so easy to come by which makes them have to be eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage. It seems that Barcelona has not been able to move on from last season's failure, Xavi, who is expected to be able to take Barcelona further in the Champions League, is unable to meet expectations.

While in La Liga Barcelona is still capable of being the toughest competitor of Real Madrid, in the standings Barcelona is only one point adrift of the leader of the standings. Barcelona still has a chance to win La Liga this season, what Xavi needs to do is to maintain the appearance and mentality of his players to always give the best performance. The quality of the squad that Barcelona has this season can still compete with Real Madrid, the defeat in El Clasico is the only defeat that Barcelona have just received in La Liga. Xavi must continue to maintain the opportunity to get his first trophy as Barcelona coach.

Betis have a quite big odd in their Sevilla match like 2.20. Sevilla are doing really bad in the league this season and Betis are one of the contenders for top 4. I don't think that Sevilla have much chance in this match. Betis couldn't defeat Sevilla home in the league for 4 years. Maybe this is one of the factors why Betis' odd is this much high now.

However I still expect Betis to win this match. Sevilla still have a long way to go before winning this kind of tough matches.

Problem faced by Barcelona not depending with how many star player have but mentality winning against with bigger team still difficult found right now, comparison between la liga and champion league performance contrast how consistent perform with domestic league. There are have Bayern and Inter make Barcelona difficult to win actually bad result achievement against with Bayern, seems when Barcelona facing with bigger team they loss strategy games play but easy to win 10 of 12 games at domestic league facing with small team.

Not enough consistent only needed right now but also how mentality winning when Barcelona face with rival team like Real Madrid after loss at the first meeting, still have second meeting at Camp Nou if want to get La Liga tittle have to know how to beat Real Madrid.

[hahay]

I'm sure a lot of people are aware of the shocking news about Gerard Pique having announced his retirement in the near future, but I'm not really that surprised and maybe it's a good choice for Pique. Because if Pique continues to play with a declining performance then it will also not be good for Pique, so before Pique has something worse like an injury or something else it would be better to retire sooner and not have to wait any longer.

Because on several occasions Pique has only become a substitute, because even though Pique retires, in fact Pique will not be completely separated from the world of football. So yes, having a lot of skills then choosing to retire is also not a bad thing, but according to the news I got the first time that the match against Almeria was his last match for Pique.



But after I checked again, it turned out that Xavi confirmed the match against Osasuna was Pique's last match. But anyway this week or next week it is the end of Pique's career as a professional footballer, and I wish Pique success out there he is a great player and I idolized him for a long time.

[bering]

Bilbao will playing away against Girona today that actually Bilbao in the good shape after back to winning track because win from Villarreal last week but home team too cannot be underestimated because Girona has playing well and can able to stole point at Real Madrid home ground so it proven Girona can playing well while against strong teams and in this match too not impossible Girona will became the team who hard to defeated by Bilbao
Regarding bet option i noticed Girona is the team who almost always scoring goals from each matches although they cannot win from it even so with Bilbao as one of dark horses team Bilbao also quite productive this season so regardless who is the winner of this match but both of them possibly will be scoring goals each other and both teams to scores probably good for this match

Regarding Barcelona's failure to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League due to being eliminated from the competition in the group stage, it is okay if Xavi Hernandez is used as the object to be blamed this season and next season if a similar incident occurs again because Barcelona's playing time is still very lacking in this season. european competition. But later when the age of the players I mentioned is over 22, then we will see how Xavi has contributed in building a new generation of Barcelona.

Likewise, Barcelona's defeat of Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. The average Barcelona players today do not understand how the history of El Clasico happened. We only see the figure of Xavi who is busy on the touchline shouting instructions to the players while the Barcelona players look relaxed. Regardless of the quality of Real Madrid players in controlling the game at that time.

We have to be sure that Xavi is working on a long-term project at Barcelona.

On the one hand, an expected decision, on the other, he chose an unexpected time for this - not at the end of the season, but at the end of the calendar before the World Cup. I don't know why he needs it, but now it will be the most discussed news until the very beginning of the World Cup. Plus, there is another big news that he has forgiven the debts that Barcelona owes him. Maybe in total this will lead to some third big news?
