La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[dezoel]

My faith in LaLiga is on Valencia this year to reach at least top 5 and be back into a European Competition for next year because it has been some years when we last saw them competing into Europa League ...because UCL is a forgotten competition for them .... If somehow , they won't perform this year , I'm afraid Valencia will have to re-think their entire strategy because it's clearly that defensive style is not suiting them as last year they barely avoid the relegation.

In last season, there were few hopes for having better results but sadly suddenly they were down with having chance for the relegation as well which was really sad news for the supporters their performance is surely unpredictable and most of the time having REDCARD is also having another issue for them now I have feeling most chances if they will be not improved in early half of this season then most chances they could be dropped from the La Liga and can go through down in next season right now they have enough time for setting good strategy which helps them for staying in above half of the league table.

Going into European competitions are never been easy as many teams are giving their best and their quality is also much better from them, hopefully we will have positive change and improved performance which helps them for staying into better spot of league table.

Granada have signed Jesus Vallejo on loan from Real Madrid, a player they had previously loaned out for one more year.Girona have signed Yangel Herrera from Manchester City for 5 million euros.Girona have made a move to strengthen their midfield.
Villareal, on the other hand, sold stopper Pau Torres to Aston Villa for 33 million euros.We can say that they made a good income with this transfer.I wonder who they will replace Pau Torres with.They are one of the Spanish teams that earn good income in the transfer season.

Jesus Vallejo was joined to Real Madrid since 2015 from Zaragoza but he was lost to compete with other players to get one place on starting lineup so he spend his time to playing outside Madrid usually loaned to other Laliga teams and last season too Vallejo only played 4 times in all competitions so obviously he is not Ancelotti first choice and that's why he accept the offers from Granada because Vallejo hopes at Granada he will gets more minutes to play at there and before this news appears actually Granada has been loan him on season 2020/2021 at that time he was playing 37 times so it's clearly Granada is need him more than Madrid and losing Vallejo will not affect to Madrid condition because he is not into Ancelotti next season plan

In the new season at Laliga, Barcelona will again get strong competition because rivals Real Madrid understand what failed last season, and of course, it will be a heating season because mistakes made by one of them will benefit their competitors, and it looks like Laliga is back will be domination for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona have so many talented players, the problem is just the coach. It's very rare a good player can become a good coach, same like Xavi Hernandez. What make Barcelona strong is because of high individual skills, the team play and strategy aren't different from one to another match.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

Yes each of us has our own view of the reality that is happening in Barcelona, of course it is based on various information from the media so that we can conclude the quality of Barca. But I don't think Xavi is so bad, he has tried his best to give the best for the Catalan Club, yes last season's La Liga Trophy as proof of his hard work and is the newest offering.

There are a lot of factors that influenced the Barcelona squad under Xavi's leadership to not be successful (Champions League). Unstable financial clubs make them have to be extra careful in the transfer market. What can be done in such circumstances? sell players to streamline expenses, recruit new players cheaply or with free transfer status. I think Xavi has taken all the steps to save Barca from setbacks, for that Xavi deserves to be appreciated by staying at Barca which is being hit by various problems. Next season they still deserve to be on the list of favorites in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Xavi has always been a general in midfield as long as he was still actively playing for Barcelona, thanks to his skill he was able to maintain Barcelona amazing rhythm of play. Now that he has transformed into a great coach, Barcelona has returned to its best form during Xavi appointment as main coach. His experience as a player can be applied well to the players he cares for, young players owned by Barcelona can be well developed by Xavi.
The combination of talented young players with senior players has provided an extraordinary cohesiveness, Xavi is still continuing to develop Barcelona's game by bringing in other quality players. The presence of Gundogan, Inigo Martinez and Vitor Roque will complement Barcelona's shortcomings so far, Xavi is also still hunting for several other players to make Barcelona proud as he did when he was still actively playing.

I fully support @indah rezqi it's not a problem with the coach but it's Barcelona's weakness that suppresses performance to become almost unstable. but even though it failed in the champions league Barcelona was able to get the La Liga title and this is all thanks to Xavi too who has struggled to at least get a title even though he couldn't get the champions league trophy. just try, if Barcelona's finances weren't this bad maybe Xavi could determine which top players to recruit and improve their formation to become stronger.
maybe as a Barcelona fan you have to patiently accept this fact and if finances have improved I think Barcelona will soon rise from adversity.

The biggest problem with Lewandowski has rather been to have a difficulty in scoring goals in big games in the Champions League. I watched him waste so many opportunities against big teams there which cost them high in the group stage later. I don't want to put the blame on only him of course don't get me wrong about that. The team effort was also inadequate in such games.

But in this season Xavi will be expected to do better in general as I said. Not only the team effort but also Lewandowski should make a big improvement in their performance in the Champions League. This level is still enough for the La Liga title but enough to be more successful in the Champions League.

[Z-tight]

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

I think they are developing, the club has financial problems and then they lost Messi, it affected them very much and they were going down fast, but since Xavi came they have now won the La Liga again, though they are still bad in the champions league, but they will have another chance next season to play and do well in the champions league, and this time they will be playing as La Liga champions. I know they are not close to their former status, but they are developing and if the club owners make good decisions they will be back to where they were before.

Xavi proves it if he was different compared with another coach that was coming from a player. Barcelona can at least get two trophies last season. that's quite enough to prove that if xavi is good enough as barcelona's coach.
Barcelona is now facing so many troubles caused by some things like financial problem. The club is not yet signing a new player to fill busquet's position. Two thropies are good enough for barcelona rather than won nothing.
Madrid was just getting 1 trophy last season.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

It requires more time for barcelona to strengthen its squad. Barcelona's defensive line must become the main concern here as barcelona conceded so many goals due to the weak defensive line. Let's hope barcelona will come with something new next season.
My guess if xavi gonna try to give more time for young players to play rather than old players in the club.

The manner in which Sevilla managed to tighten their weak positions and strengthen their performance in La Liga astonished those who supported them. We all anticipated they'd be relegated the previous season, but things were unable to transform, and the new manager changed the club's strategy for their advantage. The president of Sevilla has offered to extend the new coach's contract, which is essentially wonderful developments for the squad. Jose Luis Mendilibar will continue to enhance his performance and meet the expectations of his fans.

Everyone and Sevilla fans will see how Sevilla will perform next season through this coach. And I also hope that Sevilla can be better than before because next season Sevilla will also be in the UCL so there really has to be improvement in terms of performance for the better so that Sevilla can compete quite well in the UCL apart from La Liga next season. Apart from that, Sevilla also needs to get some good players to add to their strength next season because that is also very important for Sevilla.

I also personally think that if Mbappe leaves PSG and joins another team, then PSG will break the basic structure of the team. Because Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the attack, it will be very difficult for the team coach to fill that need by replacing him with another player.

That's why PSG doesn't make it easy for any club to buy Mbappe, after all, I'm sure that if there are other clubs, including Real Madrid, want to accept the price offered by PSG, the PSG management will still raise the price again to be able to have the highest bid and make it difficult for Real Madrid to brought in Mbappe.
Maybe many PSG fans don't really like Mbappe, but basically Mbappe plays a very important role in the PSG squad.
If next season the contract runs out and there is no further extension then I'm sure PSG will experience a decline in playing performance because several attacking players who can be relied on have left one by one.

Since 2015, a player who has been with real madrid has been constantly loaned to granada.When real madrid could not get the efficiency they wanted from this player, they found the solution by renting him, but we can say that he still has not fully developed himself.For this reason, maybe Real Madrid may want to get rid of the player if he continues the same performance in the next season.If the player, who has been on loan to Granada since 2020, cannot increase his own value and cannot show an improvement, we can think that he is not at a sufficient level for Real Madrid.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

I even saw that in Xavi era Barcelona had shown better progress than the previous coach. I think if we look at the current developments for sure Barcelona is on a better path because Xavi has started to show better development of the strength of the team or the depth of their squad.

I think for now Barcelona have shown their strength in Laliga and I'm sure next season Barcelona will focus all their strength on the Champions League. Apart from that, I think there are things that are interesting for the depth of the Barcelona squad because next season Gundogan will be one of the additional factors for their midfield which will make Barcelona very reckoned with in the Champions League.

[Merit.s]

Sevilla played the second half of the previous season much better than the first half. Because after Mendilibar's arrival everything started to change in the right direction for them. Honestly I wasn't expecting him to make an impact like this. Because he didn't have an experience with high level teams much in his manager career.

But he won the Europa League title with the Sevilla that weren't in a good condition before. In addition he saved the team from relegation by reaching safety in the standings. The board must be contented with his work a lot for now. But the expectation in the La Liga would be to competitive for top 4 this time for sure.

The new coach turned their games around last season for Sevilla and it was a surprise to everyone with the superb form that the club picked. It is good news that the coach contract has been extended because I believe that this season he surprise the world with the performance of Sevilla. He is a good coach and I think he has target to be among the top for in Laliga coming season. I didn't expect that Sevilla will win the final match against Monaco but I saw how desperate the players were and committed in the game. This shows that their new coach has a good way to motivate the players.

He helped Sevilla to exit relegation zone in La Liga and won Europa League so an expansion for his contract is well deserved. Sevilla are in top clubs of La Liga in the last twenty years and the last season is a warning that they got something wrong in their club.'

Though it is a red flag and they must make a forensic analysis about their problems to avoid a similar situation in a new season, the trophy in Europa League shows that Sevilla still have enough quality players to play well. Perhaps their main problems are not from player quality but about coach tactics and cooperation between coach and players.

I think for now Barcelona have shown their strength in Laliga and I'm sure next season Barcelona will focus all their strength on the Champions League. Apart from that, I think there are things that are interesting for the depth of the Barcelona squad because next season Gundogan will be one of the additional factors for their midfield which will make Barcelona very reckoned with in the Champions League.

Barcelona will need some more seasons to return to top level in Champions League and after Lewandowski, they have another experienced player Gundogan to help their young players growing up more.

Playing together with experienced players, who are already winners in Champions League, will help their young players a lot, in emotion control, pressure dealing which are important to compete with biggest clubs in Champions League.

It seems that Joao Felix's return to Atletico Madrid did not make him Happy. It seems that he still can't get in touch with Diego Simeone. With these bad rumors, Joao Felix has been linked with many clubs wanting him. I think Joao Felix is a good player, at Chelsea he was not at his maximum because of the coach. There is news Barcelona and Man United are interested in Atletico's most expensive player. Of course they can take advantage of this bad moment to get Joao Felix.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

This might change quite a bit with the addition of Gundogan who brings in all the experience necessary to compete in the Champions League. He is also a few years younger although Barcelona isn't really adding strength to their squad. Busquets left, Gundogan joined. They are now considering a swap of de Jong for Silva from Manchester City. This would mean de Jong is gone, Silva is added. There is still no significant change that makes the team fundamentally better.

The midfield has filled up well since Busquets left and Barcelona also have some energetic young midfielders in the team. Gundogan's experience can give Barcelona strength and he can make an impact on possession in midfield. De Jong's exchange with Silva didn't really matter much in my opinion, because de Jong is also a creative midfielder and would make an ideal partnership with Gundogan in midfield. Barcelona only needs one more senior player at the back and this player must really be a tough defender who is able to break attacks from opponents.

They have a good center line from the offense with Lewandowski via Gundogan in the midfield and ter Stegen in the back. But is it quite the same as it was last season despite some names that will have changed when the new season starts.

Lewandowski, Gundogan and Ter Stegen are players who have the mentality to face crucial matches and these three players can provide encouragement to other young players, hopefully there will be additional senior players in the Barcelona team next season so they can compete in the Champions League with perfect strength on all fronts.

I don't understand exactly what kind of situation happened between Felix and Simeone, why the situation seems to say that the relationship between the two is not okay. If that really happened then I think it's natural to make Felix's situation uncomfortable at Atletico Madrid, because even though Simeone is a professional coach, I will not deny that maybe the opportunities that will be given to Felix will not be much. If the situation is like this then Felix should look for a new club that is ready to buy him, because in the game he looks good and has value for him to sell.
But I also think this is a situation that has been exaggerated by the media, or something else. It's quite unfortunate when a potential young player like him gets into a difficult situation like this.

Manchester United are rumored to be interested in this young player, but I don't see any serious movement from them, this is just a rumor that has no confirmation at all.

Felix had no future at Atletico Madrid, despite the president's statement that many people wanted him to stay. Felix has a dream to be a part of barcelona but this will never gonna be real caused by barcelona has its own best striker at this moment. I don't even see that if barcelona was trying to approach him. Felix has been linked to the so many clubs but none of those clubs were approaching him. It's likely felix will be staying in atletico madrid till next year. Felix feels so hard to find a new club for him after his flop with chelsea last season. It's likely that if felix must be forcing himself to stay. He has no regular time to play in atletico madrid caused by he was not able competing with another player in the club.
Atletico madrid shall try to give him more time to play in the main squad. It's dilemma for felix caused by he needs more time to play while atletico was preventing him to join in another club as permanent transfer.
Atletico madrid was also putting very big release clause for his contract which was making the club has interest on him think for twice before try to buy his release clause.

[CLS63]

First I thought that Simeone changed his mind about Felix and decided to keep him in the team as an important player. However now we are hearing about Felix's intention to leave as soon as possible. It looks like it was just a speculation. Atletico Madrid play with a formation including two strikers most of the time. Currently there are 4 players in the team that can play there - if we don't include youngsters like Camello, Simeone and Garces. Because all of those youngsters are likely to be loaned again.

They are already likely to lose Morata and things will get more serious in case Felix also leaves. They will need to work on finding replacements for both of them.
