La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

Meanwhile, Real Madrid bought 16-year-old Endrick from Palmeiras, but he will be able to sign a contract once he turns 18. Now, player transfers at a young age are starting to happen very early. It's debatable how reasonable it's to give 60 million Euro and 12 million Euro bonus to a 16-year-old player.

I also think that this transfer is open to discussion now. A deal worth 72 milion euros in total is really huge for a 16-year-old player. Real Madrid scouts must be thinking like Endrick is one of the probable future legends or something like that. Otherwise this deal would be like madness for them. Because they could have used this money to strengthen the team in January as well.

There are so many talents waiting to be discovered in Brazil actually. I hope Endrick becomes one of them and makes us watch great performances. I would be glad to see him being very successful at young age just as Haaland is now.

I agree with this because especially it would be very funny if Barcelona now, who are sure to lose financially because they failed in the Champions League, still think that the Europa League is not very important, even though this can be used as an option to make them get a little advantage to offset losses. gained from their failures.

Barcelona is trying to improve its reputation by winning in La Liga and in this way it is hoped that Barcelona will be able to get new investors or additional funds for their team because with their achievements they should be able to increase funds and make Barcelona's finances recover.

the laliga competition is not as interesting as it used to be when I saw it because only 2 teams looked strong compared to the other teams. if it goes on like this I think that there will be less and less fans or spectators in the Laliga and will be more inclined to watch the EPL.

Maybe it can happen, but I think there are always fans in every competition of one of the countries of the world. Messi and Ronaldo used to be an attraction, there was always drama in every season.
At this time, the arrival of Lewandowski, and several other players certainly gave a different kind of appeal. So I think La Liga will stay alive with the players that are there. That problem of dominance also occurred in Germany and some other countries. But their League is still running and entertaining some of its fans.

I don't think Lalliga is dominated by only two teams,there are other teams too that are very good,and they are competing seriously with the two teams that one might seem are the dominant team,which is Real Madrid and Barcelona,but we forget to know that Athletico Madrid  and teams like Sevilla are still there.As it stands now,Madrid and Barca are standing infront so it makes people think the both teams are the only teams dominating,but it's not like that,it is the German bundesliga that I see a particular team dominate because they are the only team that wins the league every season,so you can call that dominance.

I know you're referring to the Ronaldo-Messi era in la Liga, but still, Real Madrid and Barcelona were even way more lethal than they are right now. Both team could score 5 or 6 goals almost every passing week, with Messi and Ronaldo bagging hat tricks or braces

I think the argument of a league being interesting is subjective. EPL has an advantage because they get way more media coverage than any other leagues, so the money flows in. If you talk about competitiveness, there are so many leagues that are way more competitive than EPL.

Barcelona sacking Xavi can be the worst decision to take that will lead to regret. If xavi is sacked who knows the next coach will even become worst than xavi. Barcelona needs to be patient with xavi to see the best that can come from him. If Barcelona sacks xavi the team can be like Barcelona of the days of Ronald Koeman.  Xavi is a good coach that Barcelona needs, the problem of Barcelona is not xavi. The problem of Barcelona is finance to sign in best players.  When a team has players that good their is no how their wont be outcome of good result in every match.

Barca's problem is the president, Juan Laporta. Laporta the politician.
Messi was used to win the election and then kicked out by Laporta with pique's advice.
Laporta is as useless as Barca players going to the national team. This is everything we need to know about Barca.
Barcelona selling clothes now. Broke club. lol

Barcelona is trying to improve its reputation by winning in La Liga and in this way it is hoped that Barcelona will be able to get new investors or additional funds for their team because with their achievements they should be able to increase funds and make Barcelona's finances recover.

The new investors mean that Barcelona is already owned by another entity but it's not owned by members again. Barcelona was not owned private entity and don't you know this? Barcelona will not be able to get huge funds since the billionaire will not be able to acquire barcelona because the share that has already been sold is still less than 51%. The only chance for barcelona to get another fresh fund must be coming from selling the remaining shares to the big investors who will be able to acquire the clubs.
Barcelona has a very large debt and that will be the hardest thing to recover. Even the billionaire who wanna to buy the club must also pay the debt.

Well even with enough cash at hand if club management fails to lay their hand on the right squad there may end up spending a lot of. money and no result will be seen, but if there is the proper use and the right player selections by clubs little amount will be spent to get young players with desired energy to produce results on the pitch.

I agree with you, that is why many teams are still progressing in this season because their managements spend a huge amount of money on a talented players that is helping the team to achieve what they want. Example, Napoli managements spend money to sign in potential attackers that is giving them a good results to be part of those teams that are in a good position to win this la Liga league title. Example, Manchester city are still maintaining their performance from the beginning of this tournament, because their management spend a huge amount of money to sign in Haaland which they are enjoying his performance in this season.

I guess that laporta was also doing shady things to the barcelona's financial pretty much the same like what happened with ac milan. La porta was selling barcelona's tv right with very cheap price and barcelona will not have any income from there.
I thought that the financial clever that already taken by barcelona was shady trick by laporta to get money. https://www.eldesmarque.com/barcelona/fc-barcelona/noticias/204558-joan-laporta-destroza-al-barcelona-y-regala-a-los-dos-mejores-del-mundial-por-un-precio-ridiculo

I agree, but I would like to point out that it is not just the current president, he has had disastrous presidents for some time now. Laporta in this case has taken a flight forward, something like the one who is drowning in loans, takes a payday loan as a last resort to see if a miracle happens to help him out of the situation.

Barcelona has a lot at stake this season, as a mediocre result could lead to profound changes in the club's structure. And I am not only referring to the sporting structure, but also to the club's corporate structure.

At the moment it seems to be going well, we will see how things continue now that the games resume in a couple of weeks.

I also think that this transfer is open to discussion now. A deal worth 72 milion euros in total is really huge for a 16-year-old player. Real Madrid scouts must be thinking like Endrick is one of the probable future legends or something like that. Otherwise this deal would be like madness for them. Because they could have used this money to strengthen the team in January as well.

There are so many talents waiting to be discovered in Brazil actually. I hope Endrick becomes one of them and makes us watch great performances. I would be glad to see him being very successful at young age just as Haaland is now.

Real Madrid seems with long term investment after reach agreement deal transfer Endrick and have to pay more than 72 Million Euro, actually due La Liga and European regulation, Madrid need waiting until two years later and Endrick have 18 years old to be Real Madrid player. Not first time spent much money for recruiting young talented, have memorize with Vinicius Jr contract with expensive transfer values and he still at young age before become talented player right now.

Nowadays, Real Madrid still have problem with center forward and spent more than 73 million euro seems not effective, actually have spent 72 million euro for sign new center forward and can replace Karim Benzema position after many time absent due injured.

Which might be able to help talk a lot about the quality of the players that were brought in. But sometimes they also fail to get performance from players who have high transfer values. If you look at Manchester City and Napoli, maybe indeed they can be said to be successful in signing talented players, but that is only part of the successful teams. Just look at Liverpool, who this season brought in players on the front lines. But they do not share the same fate as Manchester City. There luck also speaks a lot in my opinion.

Barcelona's main problems are undoubtedly financial, but I wouldn't say that Xavi is not a problem. Besides being an inexperienced coach, he is a very good player in the first place - it's a problem to be a coach as sometimes he doesn't understand that players can't do things that he could when he was a player. Secondly, in my opinion, he is a bad coach because he is not at all flexible. Throughout his career, he came to success through one strategy both in the national team and in the club. And he tries to repeat it without realizing that football is changing and what worked yesterday will not work tomorrow.

[arimamib]

In essence, if a team feels unimportant in playing in a certain tournament, then they can go and let their opponent walk out (WO) to win, does Barcelona dare to do that?
If Barcelona thinks the Europa League is not important, then let the opposing team win and Barcelona don't need to come to the field or don't need to come to the match, and at least that way Barcelona doesn't need to spend money.

I agree with this because especially it would be very funny if Barcelona now, who are sure to lose financially because they failed in the Champions League, still think that the Europa League is not very important, even though this can be used as an option to make them get a little advantage to offset losses. gained from their failures.

Winning tournaments can help Barcelona finances, compensation from the Champion in official competitions can balance Barcelona finances. Barcelona will not consider La Liga more important than the Europa League, at the moment All trophies are very important for Barcelona.
The direction of Barcelona to become a Champion has been seen, even though they have been eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona is still able to survive in first place in La Liga. Meanwhile in the Europa League, Barcelona must be able to beat Manchester United to move on to the next round.

Because after all Madrid still has Karim Benzema, who has recovered from his injury and he is still very reliable for Real Madrid, at least until the end of this season. I'm sure the Madrid management already have several names on their radar list, for them to target as potential replacements for Benzema later. So, we don't have to worry about what Madrid's management is doing. Moreover, several names have been linked, such as Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, who are ready to replace Karim Benzema's role later.

As for Endrick. yes, Real Madrid had to pour out sizable funds with player investments instead. Endrick has also been chased by several other giant clubs such as PSG and Barcelona. so it's only natural that Madrid wants to secure this boy as one of Madrid's future prospects.

Real Madrid succeed with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo and these players even can grow more. They are trying to use a same strategy for Endrick by give him and his family a good contract at his very young age.

With the height of three players, I don't think any of them are good at the striker position for Real Madrid. I believe that Real Madrid will have to look for another striker from transfer market. But maybe these players will create a trio attacking like MNS (Messi - Neymar - Suarez) in Barcelona years ago. None of three players have good heights and Vini, Rodrygo, Endrick can create a similar trio attacking.

Real Madrid are currently having a bit of a problem with their attack. Their team lacks some experienced players, and if Karim Benzema leaves their team, it will have some adverse effect on their team. Hope the Real Madrid authorities will solve this problem soon.

Real Madrid have proven they can work with their talented young players and for now I see Real Madrid continuing to do that without needing to look for a star player to replace Benzema in the future.

Endrick Felipe is only 16 years old, this Brazilian player is enough to steal the attention of many teams with the game he is showing but I think Real Madrid are betting big on this boy for their future front line.

Yes, I agree with you that of these 3 names from Real Madrid's posture, they still have to find players to become target men on the front lines. Because as we usually see, Real Madrid always uses players who have the posture that can compete in the air when defending the opponent. The prospects they are currently doing are very good, but they also don't forget the characteristics they need at the moment, especially to replace Benzema.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The problem is not just in the injuries but the players must think twice before making any decisions regarding transfers because one wrong step could waste their career, vini is suitable for real Madrid and he is playing regularly but Rodrigo should improve himself or transfer to another club where he can play regularly

I do not think so. Over the past few seasons, of course, we know that Rodrygo's game is getting more and more mature. I don't think he needs to go for that, especially with the current condition of Madrid, what he really needs right now is just to add more flying hours and sharpen his instincts. But the longer I actually feel he is a runner type of player so he is not really suitable to be used as a substitute for Benzema's targetman.

Well, the issue of injuries is somewhat delicate, but it is that a team is going to collapse due to the fact that one of its best players has to rest, that is something that cannot be avoided, but in the case of Real Madrid , Benzema is not going to take him out this year, perhaps by 2024, we must remember that without him, Real Madrid would not have won anything, and Florentino Pérez knows that very well, he cannot be so ungrateful, besides the reputation What Real Madrid has is intact with its players, but rather let CR7 say so, who said that he would play for less money there, and that is what this type of club achieves when its players are treated well, the loyalty.

Analysis of Real Madrid's past matches shows that they could barely secure consecutive wins without Karim Benzema. As such, if Benzema is influenced, the whole of Real Madrid is affected.
Seeing that there are several tough matches left for the team to play after the world cup, I think it's high time the Madrid board registers another central forward in the team to back up Karim Benzema, or else the entire Madrid future is at stake.

Well, in that aspect, and as you say, you are absolutely right, for me Benzema is one of the best players who is actually the one who has contributed the most to Real Madrid, and I think that for now they have to be somewhat patient, but they have to looking for a striker with characteristics similar to those of Bezema, and that is something very difficult, he is a unique player, he has to have that determination and we must not forget that thanks to Benzema in the last thing he has done for Real Madrid, the victories have been thanks to him, and this is something difficult for the pklantel to look for a player, I really would not like anyone, but rather trust who I have.

On the other hand, transfers and purchases are already becoming evident at Real Madrid:

Real Madrid look set to sign €10 million Brazilian defender

Real Madrid are considering signing the Brazilian defender after impressive spell at Castilla

Tobias would certainly fit the profile of player that Real Madrid appear to be looking for at the moment: young and with a lot of room for growth.

On top of that, he is a right-back as well, which might be great news in the long run for the club, if he is able to develop into a starter one day.

Right-back is a bit of an area of worry for the club at the moment with Dani Carvajal now 30 years of age and no longer in top form. His cover option in Lucas Vazquez is 31 while Alvaro Odriozola is expected to be on his way out soon.

Source: https://therealchamps.com/2022/12/16/real-madrid-set-sign-brazilian-defender/

Well, everything is in favor of continuing to improve the team, clearly sometimes in Real Madrid there are certain vulnerabilities in the defense, if they take a Brazilian, what I like is that a Brazilian always thinks of defending and attacking at the same time, That will make Real Madrid a much stronger team.

[$crypto$]

Endrick Felipe is only 16 years old, this Brazilian player is enough to steal the attention of many teams with the game he is showing but I think Real Madrid are betting big on this boy for their future front line.

Real Madrid already know Endrick's potential to be contracted at a high price because this can indeed be said to be a long-term investment, see the value later after Endrick can adapt to the main players or at least at the age of 20-22 maybe that will be seen in terms of his game Now, we don't know how Endrick is, but I think Real Madrid has placed their hopes on young players who have been signed. Examples of successful players are Vinicius, Rodrigo and Camavinga. Real Madrid have managed to grow their game more and more.
