La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Swordsoffreedom]

It surprises me that the rumors about the transition of Mbappe to Real Madrid are again intensifying. He performs well in the World Cup and he is a good player, but in my opinion he already overstepped the bounds when he played his dirty game trading between PSG and Real so I would be happy if Real just ignored this player. He is too expensive and is too risky a purchase. He is not worth his money.

Rumors of Mbappe move to Real Madrid continue to be stirred up by the media who want to get some money from the news they publish. Mbappe and Real Madrid will not be matched, after he got the luxury with PSG it will be difficult to move to another club.
Mbappe selfish character does not match Real Madrid style of play, he can be a game destroyer due to his selfishness on the pitch. Real Madrid will ignore Mbappe and they will look for other players who are more suitable to replace Benzema.

Mbappe is selfish, he doesn't deserve the Real Madrid squad for this reason alone. Mbappe is one of the best players of today. And he will definitely be at the top of the list of talented players in the world. But his main problem is that he wants to get a lot of fame. He wants to be the main player of the squad as well as the centre of attraction. But this is not possible if he will joining in Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, doesn't rely on just one player to shape their match strategy anymore. Every player in the team is friendly. And their performance as a team is very good due to their excellent bonding with each other. In this situation, if Madrid brings Mbappe to the team, there is a possibility that the bonding between the players of Madrid will be destroyed. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is very experienced. He can surely understand these aspects more than us.

Truthfully I don't think that the harmony in Real Madrid would be gone with Mbappe addition. It is true that Mbappe has become really selfish these days. But it is because PSG just act like he is the owner of the team now. They are paying insane amount of money to Mbappe and they are like ready to do whatever he likes to see in the team. However I don't expect Real Madrid to tolerate him too much. If he is thinking of a move to Real Madrid in the future he will need to get ready to play for a much more disciplined team.

I hope that he can change to play for his dream team in the future. He is a very skilled player normally and his playing style would fit Real Madrid a lot. Real Madrid would be in no need of adding another striker in case they sign Mbappe. But I don't think this transfer would happen at the end of this season.

Mbappe is a player who has almost the same characteristics as Ronaldo who cannot control his emotions properly, Real Madrid must look for other players who have more potential and can work with teams well so as not to make Real Madrid lose money because what Real Madrid needs is not players who get emotional easily but smart to control it and stay calm.

Money, fame, position, and power are always able to change people and even beat their dreams. This is maybe a small picture of what we can see from Mbappe. It's a shame because he is a great and talented player, one of the highlights of this season. But let's see how he is at PSG, he is like Neymar and also Messi. And not that prominent in the game.

Mbappe is a player who has almost the same characteristics as Ronaldo who cannot control his emotions properly, Real Madrid must look for other players who have more potential and can work with teams well so as not to make Real Madrid lose money because what Real Madrid needs is not players who get emotional easily but smart to control it and stay calm.

Seriously?
Don't you forget how many championships Real Madrid got when Ronaldo was on the team? Do you mean nothing reached when He was there because he cannot control his emotion? In your words, you said that Real Madrid lost money because of a player like Ronaldo. If he cannot control his emotion very well, he will not be such a good player until now, he could contribute very well in real Madrid and could work awesomely with the whole team at that time. What happened to him at Man United is beyond reason and one can lose patience. because of such treatment. I agree that if someone cannot control their emotions will really influence bad things. But, I don't agree that you make it similar to Ronaldo in Real Madrid.

Benzema is still a best striker in Real Madrid with great skills and most experience. If he is healthy and ready for matches, Carlo Ancelotti will send him in. It is not depended on Benzema himself but Real Madrid and the coach actually need to have Benzema for their attacking.

It is definitely true that Real Madrid must prepare for Benzema retirement or just his less contribution because of ageing. Anyway, Benzema is still usable for Real Madrid in near future and with his attitude, I don't think he will have issues if in future, he will have a new position, as one of substitutions for Real Madrid.

Of course, Benzema is the best striker at Real Madrid. Real Madrid only has 2 strikers this season, Karim Benzema and Mariano Diaz. We can't compare Benzema with Diaz since Diaz is only a player who spends time on the bench and never showed an impressive performance when he has a chance to play. This is actually the problem, Real Madrid has no other good striker. If Diaz can perform well, Real Madrid surely won't plan to look for a new striker.

I don't care about his age, I also don't talk about his attitude. My focus is on his health or fitness. Benzema no longer has good fitness, he more often gets injured. Since a striker (CF) has a very crucial role in Ancelotti's tactic, they must have a good replacement for that position if Benzema is injured. They can't rely on Diaz or wingers, they need a new striker. That's why I believe they will try to sign a new striker in January.

I agree with you. Benzema is still a great player. But his fitness is not good. He appeared in only 7 matches in La Liga. He was absent in 7 matches due to injury. It is very difficult to perform consistently well without such an important player in the squad. And so Ancelotti now needs an experienced striker. My guess is not to wait until next season Ancelotti. He will probably bring a new striker to the team in the winter transfer.

I don't even think mbappe will suit to the real madrid. PSG itself has been confirmed that if mbappe will not be leaving from PSG during transfer season. The chance for real to get him is almost zero percents. Real madrid was eyeing harry kane from totenham.
There are so many players linked to the real but there's no confirmation about which player that has the biggest potential to join with real madrid. Mbappe was different with ronaldo.
Ronaldo might be an emotional player too but i think that the difference between both was too far as ronaldo has everything compared with mbappe. That's very sad to see that ronaldo is old enough for now to play for madrid.

This season his feet have always been in trouble and he has always spent more time in the dugout than on the pitch. It's obviously not very good even though his eye for goal is still great but with his recurring injury condition it's clear this is a problem because he can't be 100 per cent fit which makes it a problem for Madrid in the end too.
It is not surprising then that in their later transfers they are looking for several strikers for Alternatives when Benzema is unable to play in Madrid.

He is too expensive and is too risky a purchase. He is not worth his money.

I think those rumors ended last season after Kylian Mbappe rejected Real Madrid's offer and agreed to a contract extension with Paris Saint Germain. Or is there an offer for the second time?
Besides, Real Madrid doesn't seem to need it because with the combination of Benzema, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, they successfully won several titles last season, and this season Real Madird still looks confident with their main squad.

Real Madrid are confident with their current squad. But they now need to find a suitable replacement for Benzema. This is why they will be looking to bring in a talented young striker this season. And so it would not be surprising if Real Madrid became interested in Mbappe this season as well. Their squad is strong, but they need another talented striker.
Benzema is also injured. His fitness is deteriorating. Also Rodry and Vini are talented no doubt, but they are not experienced enough. It is difficult to do well in serious matches without experienced players.

Honestly, I think Real Madrid is going to feel like it will hurt their ego to chase after Mbappé right now. This is especially true when Madrid was willing to pay a lot of money for this player previously. Now it will be a weak point for the club if they continue to chase after him. But at the same time, it is not like he will have a lot of problems if he cannot move to Real Madrid.

I am sure he will get a lot of offers from other teams if he does decide to move. But honestly, I do not think he’s willing to give up all that money and power position PSG is giving him right now. It is nearly impossible to downgrade yourself when you have tasted the sweetness of money .

Benzema has been absent from several important matches this season. However, Madrid managed to keep their performance stable because their coach Ancelotti is very experienced. Ancelotti's match strategy is why Madrid's performance is stable. But if you want to do well in the Champions League, you can't just rely on youngsters Vini and Rodrygo. They definitely need an experienced striker. And so Ancelotti will keep one more striker in the team in addition to Benzema. Even if a talented striker is brought into the team, the new striker needs time to adapt to the team. No player can adapt to the team suddenly.

Yes, I agree with some of the considerations you said.
But if experience is the basis and the choice is Kylian Mbappe, how is Mbappe's experience different from that of Vinícius and Rodrygo? they are talented young players with experience of playing no more than 3 leagues each
The difference between these three players is quality, but for experience I think the three young players still lack experience.

[bering]

Sampaoli really has a big responsibility with Sevilla now. He also hasn't been able to create any solution to this bad performance of the team. I don't know maybe it is related to some mental issues among the players. There might be some personal reasons that is dragging them down maybe. Because I don't think that Sampaoli and Lopetegui both have had bad game strategies for the team.

They have a long time to think about how to fix this horrible season. They are even under the danger of relegating from the league now as long as they keep this up. Sevilla don't deserve this. They don't have a squad that has bad quality now. Maybe it is too difficult for them to climb to top four but they can at least finish the season in top ten with some improvement.

Jorge Sampaoli doesn't need to think about their chances of getting into the top 4 or being in the European zone at the end of the season. They need to be more focused at least they don't get relegated this season. Many people will be surprised to see Sevilla this season because their position is very far from what they achieved last season, they are even predicted to be a club that will put Real Madrid under pressure at the top of the standings.
They have to solve their problems as soon as possible before it's too late, because they still have plenty of time to do that. They have almost lost all the matches they have played by only being able to record 2 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. That is a very bad statistic, because last season they only lost 4 of the 38 matches they completed.

Sampaoli has train Sevilla since october and with total 11 matches in all competitions Sevilla only able to wins 3 times so apparently Sampaoli also can't do much to lifted up Sevilla performance besides that i noticed Sampaoli still looking for the best strategy for defensive lines and it proven for each matches he always be attempts to used different players however if these poor records will continue after world cup i think his position also threated and not impossible he will be sacked although he just a few months to train Sevilla and i don't know what happend to Sevilla now besides poor performance this season Sevilla also known as the team that gets the most red cards and seems there is a problem with Sevilla players mentally

No top strikers want to spend time on the bench, unless they get injured. As long as Benzema is in a good condition, he surely will be the main option as a CF. Sure, it may be one of the reasons why some strikers don't want to join Real Madrid soon. However, everyone knows that Benzema can play in several positions, which means he can play together with a new striker.

Benzema is still a best striker in Real Madrid with great skills and most experience. If he is healthy and ready for matches, Carlo Ancelotti will send him in. It is not depended on Benzema himself but Real Madrid and the coach actually need to have Benzema for their attacking.
It is definitely true that Real Madrid must prepare for Benzema retirement or just his less contribution because of ageing. Anyway, Benzema is still usable for Real Madrid in near future and with his attitude, I don't think he will have issues if in future, he will have a new position, as one of substitutions for Real Madrid.

When you are talking about a player like Mbappe, all teams in the world would be willing to listen to him and give him a chance to join. Real might be disappointed with him, and wanted him and couldn't get him so they could be looking for other players right now, but if Mbappe (well his agent) ever comes knocking the door, they will hear them out and if they can afford to get him (which is hard now) that means we are going to end up seeing him playing for Real, it's all about finances.
PSG kept him because they were willing to offer him insane amount, but if Real got an offer that is realistic then they would love to get him for sure.

Real was ready to offer him 200 million in the last season if I remember correctly.
I do not know what else could be a "realistic" offer other than that.

In fact, the only thing that kept Mbappe in the PSG team was the huge amount of money that the team was giving the player. And obviously, the authority above other players is also quite enjoyable for him. He is not able to improve at his highest level, nor can he build a legacy if he remains at PSG. He will have money but he is not likely to have a legacy. But for a lot of people money is more relevant compared to legacy. Because a legacy is not going to provide for you when you are not a footballer anymore.

I don't think Real Madrid will ever sign Mbappe, considering that he previously turned down Real Madrid's offers and preferred money over a brilliant career with Real Madrid. Mbappe is a genius but also arrogant, we know he is just a new kid in football and he doesn't have to have bad traits if he wants to have a lot of titles.

[boltz]

No worries guys , Mbappe is still young and have plenty of time to switch to Real in the next years even if Florentino said that Mbappe is no longer a key transfer to Real Madrid , I'm sure he lied but I'm also sure that Vini Jr and Rodrygo could fill his place for a couple of years.

Regarding Sevilla and Sampaoli , I think they should depart during this winter and find a new solution as Sevilla in this pace , they won't catch any European spots this year and that would be simply a disaster for team that is used to play UCL or Europa League season after season.

Mbappe did response very bad and unacceptable after he failed to move to Real Madrid, signed a new contract with PSG with some promised high privileges. After staying in Paris, he felt that these promises were not kept by PSG and shown his bad behavior that impacts impression of Perez about Mbappe.

Real Madrid have Vinicius and Rodrygo and if we compare Vinicius with Mbappe, I don't see much difference between them. Vinicius has good speed but he is better than Mbappe because he is more ready to contribute to a club's system operation and does not have problem to support other players. With this attitude, Vinicius is more useful for Real Madrid than Mbappe.

Rodrygo has good growth in the past season but he must keep it up and improve more to reach to a level of Vinicius, not yet mention about a level of Mbappe. Similar to Vinicius, Rodrygo is helpful for Los Blancos too because of his friendly attitude.

After successfully giving false hope to Madrid fans in the previous transfer market, of course I don't think that Madrid fans will be expecting Mbappe again this time, Madrid was very disappointed with Mbappe rejection last season so it seems impossible for Madrid to try to bring in Mbappe again , Mbappe contract will expire on June 30, 2025, making it possible for PSG to set a very high price if only madrid wanted want to recruit Mbappe and I think it's just a waste of money, it's better for Madrid to look for other players in january market and if we take into account maybe Madrid will get 2 or 3 new players with as much money as they will spend on buying  Mbappe.

I think Real Madrid did what they could to secure the signature of Mbappe so the disappointment wasn't from the management or the club but from the player. He decided to take the big money deal to remain with PSG. It wouldn't be the same story this time when the transfer window reopen in January. Now Real Madrid will have to wait until 2025 if they want Mbappe on their side.

After releasing Luka Jovic to Fiorentina right now Real Madrid only have two striker between Karim Benzema and Mariano Diaz, currently Benzema have absent on several matches with Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti have moved Rodrygo become central forward. I don't sure with Mariano Diaz will get regular position because Ancelotti have priority with Benzema and Rodyrgo become replacement than giving for Diaz as main forward in Real Madrid.

I don't think with Real Madrid need with new central forward if Karim Benzema not absent with injury, he still in the top level right now and last several matches with Real Madrid still consistency for scoring goals, but I don't think with Benzema can play regular after several time injured in this season.

Mbappe is a genius but also arrogant, we know he is just a new kid in football and he doesn't have to have bad traits if he wants to have a lot of titles.

Everything is possible. we all know, Mbappe's attitude and ego is very high. he is a young player, it's normal that his ego is often a problem. Despite his attitude and ego, all football players know that he is a great and talented young player. for the next one or two seasons, it seems unlikely that Mbappe will play for El Real, besides that his contract is still long with PSG, Florentino has said he is no longer interested in Mbappe.

however, it is possible that in the next few seasons, Mbappe could play for Real Madrid. because after all he is a young talent who still has a good career going forward, especially if he plays for Real Madrid. But I don't think Madrid will sign him any time soon. after all, after all, Madrid still has Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo and maybe several other young players who are being targeted by Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window, one of which is young boy Endrick Felipe.

[Pandu Geddon]

Mbappe has refused to join Madrid. there's no reason to wait for Mbappe anymore, I think.
better Madrid can focus more on other young players and they can make a long contract. not just to make the squad better. this could also be a good investment for Madrid if they are looking for young players that they can promote to star players. instead of buying a player who has been labeled a star.
I honestly like how Dortmund look for their young players and makes very good ones. Madrid must start thinking about a better way to replace old players with younger players.
