La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

~~

waiting for Victor Roque next year is not difficult for Barcelona. I'm sure Xavi can come up with a strategy with the formations used even with the existing players. Lewandowsky is indeed very important on the Barcelona front line. but I still believe that if Xavi lets Lewandowsky rest, Xavi can still use other options. Ferran Torres cannot be a replacement for Lewandowsky. but it looks like Xavi will have a special formation that makes him comfortable playing.

I just checked the Barcelona squad list and it's true that there are no pure strikers other than Lewandowski. I don't know what Xavi was thinking with not a single back-up for their striker position. Moreover, next season's competition is getting fiercer and they should be able to prepare things that will make it easier to win. The only way if Lewandowski is later sidelined due to injury or a card penalty is to change his formation to 4-4-2 by plotting Ansu Fatti and Ferran Torres in the attacking positions. I think that formation makes a lot more sense and would be easier to do with the depth of Barcelona's current squad.

Xavi still has Ferran Torres, he can play in various positions. despite the fact that the player did not show good performance last season, he can still be used as an option if Lewandowski suffers an injury. and if the signing of Vitor Roque goes according to what was originally planned, he could become Lewandowski's backup. although still relatively young, it seems that Xavi really believes in this player from Brazil. a few days ago there were rumors that Barcelona wanted to sign Vitor Roque as soon as possible.

But as reported by Romano, Paranaense still relies on Vitor Roque until this December. the Brazilian club wants Vitor to stay and qualify for the Copa Libertadores. So, this player will be planned to join Barcelona in the 2024 winter transfer window. but if Barcelona can bring him in sooner than originally planned, they will have a young centre-forward on hand to back up Lewandowski should he be injured. after all, if we refer to Barcelona's pre-season matches, it seems that Xavi has prepared several strategies that he can implement after conducting several experiments.

If I refer to what you said, the 4-4-2 formation is more likely to be a defensive pattern. ideally Xavi applies the 4-3-1-2 pattern, this pattern suits their offensive style of football. yep, like when Barcelona countered Real Madrid in the pre-season match. so with the players that Barcelona currently have, Xavi can apply the pattern as he wishes, but it all depends on which team will be their opponent.

Well, that is quite good news for barcelona because there is no need to wait for Victor Roque to join in the 24/25 season. If later it is true that he will arrive early in the middle of this season then Barcelona will not need to look for an additional pure striker. Xavi is indeed a great former midfielder and he knows which strategy is right to help the team win, I don't doubt him because he has that ability.

The 4-4-2 pattern that I said is good for both attacking and defending, but indeed with 4 midfielders available, the defensive portion will become more. The formation you mentioned is indeed quite suitable for Barcelona with its tiki taka style and it is likely that they will return to using that formation if Lewandowski has a problem that cannot make him present on the field.

Even if he doesn't play well with Barcelona, Dembele has the potential to perform well in Ligue 1. PSG coach Luis Enrique is quite experienced. And the important thing is that he is completely new to the PSG team. He will work with this team anew. At the same time, Luis Enrique will probably bring several more changes to the team. Because of this it will be a bit easier for Dembele to adapt to psg's players. Moreover, Ligue 1 teams are slightly weaker than La Liga teams. This is why it will be easy for dembele to perform well. We may soon see Dembele in a PSG jersey. However, this agreement is repeatedly delayed.

Of course, for Dembere, this will be a very profitable transfer, firstly, he will achieve his goal and will receive a large salary, and secondly, it seems to me that with Enrique, PSG have very good chances of becoming an even stronger team. I don’t follow how Barcelona pays salaries now, but last season they had big problems with this and some players were delayed payments for half a year, maybe now I don’t know the situation better, but I’m sure that PSG will have no problem with this.

It looks like Joao Felix is really leaving this summer but I don't think Atletico Madrid will make any move to fill his space. Because he was already loaned to Chelsea last season and they didn't bring anyone to fill his absence in the squad. Simeone just doesn't have plans for him I'm afraid. Such a waste for Atletico Madrid really. They spent around 120m euros to sign him but now he is an unwanted man here.

Saudi club club has been sending an offer to take him as loan from atletico madrid. Romano has been confirmed that if felix gonna be leave from atletico madrid but it's not clear which club gonna be his next home but atletico madrid has confirmed that if the club is only willing to accept a permanent transfer for him. Felix wants to join Barcelona but they don't seem interested in him. Barcelona is not even trying to pursue him and the club doesn't have money to buy him at this moment.
Felix must not be stupid enough to reject good offer from another club or he gonna be destroying his own career like lukaku.

On the other hand I think he might have a second chance with a new coach in case he is loaned again for this season. Because Simeone might leave the team as he is in his last year of his contract.

Atletico is not interesting to send felix as loan again caused by his contract will end soon. Atletico wants money for him. Felix is not an important player for atletico madrid. His career may come to its end soon if he will not get a new club as soon as possible.

Yes it's true, with Luis Enrique the team have the potential to build strong squad and improve their performance. There is definitely no doubt that he is very experienced coach and if you look at the few coaches who trained PSG in their last few seasons Enrique is arguably the most experienced and successful. I can see he worked with Spain team and young confidence helped stabilize the Spain team's performance. Enrique is expected to be able to change the entire landscape of PSG if he is given the freedom and bigger funds. With PSG, Dembele's performance will also improve and he will earn higher wages.

My prediction if barcelona gonna be dominating La liga until next few years. I think that real madrid is so weak right now. Seeing how bad the result from pre season made me believe if real madrid has low chance to win la liga this season.
Benzema has gone, Modrid and kroos may also leave anytime from the club. I remember when kroos has been rumored to retire from playing football. Modric and kroos are not young anymore. Their performance are not as good as before.

Real madrid looks so weak right now. bellingham and joselu were not solving the problem. Real Madrid has many good midfielders, but their performance after Kroos and Modric leave is uncertain..

In this case, you need to bet on Barcelona because the bookmakers have a different opinion and give you a chance to bet with a favorable odds (if you are right):

Real Madrid 2.00

Barcelona Fc 2.40

Atlético Madrid 9.00

To be fair, I have to say that last season Real Madrid were also favorites (but to a lesser extent) but probably the initial quotes were made when everyone was sure that Mbappe would go to Real instead of renewing his contract with PSG.

@JeffBrad12, do not be too sure about speculating with the results shown in the pre-season match because that match just wants to find out how the players are performing after taking a break at last season break and also seeing how their new players are performing to consider whether they are worthy of being a starter. so you do not need to be sure about your speculation in this friendly match because it could be that in a real competition match surprisingly Real Madrid has performed much better than in this pre-season match.

@KTChampions, rightly he should bet on Barcelona even though the bookies have different speculations, I know what you mean.
sometimes a lot of people have too much speculation just by looking at this pre-season match even though its not really their performance but its still in a trial period but for some reason people believe too much in this match.
if everyone might speculate against Real Madrid maybe I will also speculate that soon Mbappe will sign a contract with Real Madrid.

[Pulsar77]

It is totally normal that Real Madrid are shown as the biggest contender of the La Liga title now. Because they have technically a stronger squad than Barcelona and they have been more consistent than them in general in the recent years. Last season wasn't a good example of it but I will be expecting Real Madrid to return much stronger now.

Especially if Mbappe was about to join them this summer I can't even imagine how much more powerful they would have been. But he isn't as it seems. We will need to wait for that for another season. 

[zuzie]

Barcelona's financial situation is not good. They are spending enough money to buy players though. However, the Barcelona club is still in financial trouble. Dembele wants higher wages from barcelona. It is probably not possible for barcelona to increase Dembele's wages now. Because Dembele is unable to make any significant contribution to Barcelona's overall performance. And so the Barcelona management will benefit if they make money by selling Dembele. This money they can use to buy any new players.  Perhaps we're going to see Dembele very soon with PSG. It would also be a very good deal for Dembele. Also, with the help of Luis Enrique, Dembele can adapt himself to the PSG squad very quickly.

It is normal when Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis in the world of football because some time ago they also experienced the same thing, and they finally chose to sell some of their quality players and some of their broadcasting rights to still have money. other than doing that so that Barcelona can survive adversity.

What do you mean by normal, what actions did Barcelona take that trigger the terms normal.
From my conclusion, such a situation could be caused by several factors, one of which is an internal imbalance within the club, the high financial burden on the club at that time is not accompanied by the club's achievements in various competitions. Without club achievements it will be difficult to get financial benefits both in terms of sponsorship, increasing player values, competition prizes, and so on. Meanwhile, the activity of buy players continue to be carried out which automatically adds to the club's expense list

There are currently 2 clubs that have been linked with Joao because Barcelona and the Al Hilal club are trying to lobby to bring Joao in this transfer but their options are only about loans but Atletico seems to want to sell this player immediately.
He is still quite good and there is actually news that he is also interested in Barcelona but with the condition of Barcelona now it seems difficult and it is possible that at this time Al Hilal is one of the most potential clubs for Joao next season.

The problem is whether Joao wants to go to Arabia because for money he will definitely be fulfilled but in terms of competition I think Asia has a slightly smaller ratio than Europe.

I think we all agree that if Mbappe joins this season, of course Madrid will be the strongest club in La Liga because of course Barcelona's competitors can still be conquered with a complete team squad this season, but unfortunately we haven't really seen Madrid's seriousness in taking Mbappe from PSG and also as we can see that Mbappe wants to finish his contract with PSG so it's not sure where exactly he will go.

I still believe that he has the desire to play at Madrid but maybe he needs to finish his contract at PSG to be able to move, so just waiting for another season to see him join Madrid, rumors about him going to Madrid will always be a good income for the media to make news about him PSG, madrid and Mbappe. it will never end where we will see Mbappe with a madrid jersey.

Joao Felix was not included in coach Diego Simeone's plans, so he was loaned to Chelsea last season. As the right move to release Joao Felix to another club to ease the salary burden and Atletico Madrid can look for other players needed to help the squad next season. Joao Felix was unable to compete with the other players in the team, so the club decided to loan him to Chelsea and even when he got there, his form was not much better, although many have accused the Chelsea coach of a lack of competence.

More precisely, Joao Felix must find another club for his future because if he doesn't get more playing hours it will affect the Portugal national team. Staying at Atletico Madrid also doesn't necessarily get a full chance to play or could be a loan could be a second option for him next season.

If Mbappe moves to Real Madrid, then I think Real Madrid's quotes will be close to City's quotes and equal to 1.7-1.75.
Pre-season games don't really matter much, but you can understand something from them - for example, Real Madrid has a problem with the implementation of scoring chances (of which it creates a lot). The problem with the lack of a top striker is obvious.

[Luzin]

Is there any new progress regarding Joao Felix being interested in Barcelona. Until this date I have no new news. But I hear that his conflict with the coach is still happening, so if he stays at Atletico Madrid maybe he will be on the bench a lot. With conditions like this it will certainly hurt Atletico, because of his considerable salary. Al Hilal made an offer but it was rejected. Al Ahli are ready to pay him a big salary, but it looks like Felix's desire to stay in Europe will derail this transfer.

You are right, With Luis Enrique, PSG have the potential to build a stronger team and improve performance. There is no doubt that Enrique is a very experienced coach. And of the few coaches PSG have had in their last few seasons, Enrique is arguably the most experienced and successful. He worked with the Spain team. Young confidence helped stabilize the Spain team's performance. Enrique is expected to be able to change the entire landscape of PSG if he is given the freedom and bigger funds. With PSG, Dembele's performance will also improve and he will earn higher wages.

Luis Enrique is one of the most experienced managers that PSG have appointed so far. We have no doubt about his experience and technique in managing the team, he is undoubtedly the best manager. At the moment Luis Enrique has taken charge of PSG and the fans are expecting good things under him. If Luis Enrique can be given enough money in proportion to the amount of money that PSG have spent in the last few seasons, he can bring this team much more success. When Messi and Neymar played for Barcelona under Luis Enrique, it was a golden era for Barcelona. PSG should have appointed Luis Enrique as manager with Messi in PSG. If Luis Enrique had been the manager of PSG then the scenario of the team would have been different now.

One of my wishes about Joao Felix is ​​that he plays for Barcelona. But at the beginning of the transfer market, the Barcelona coach (Xavi) really didn't seem to want to bring Joao Felix to Barcelona. Barcelona at that time did have a lot of attacking players that could be utilized. But the situation this time in Barcelona is clearly different and it seems that Xavi and Barcelona are starting to open up to approach Joao Felix. The reason is because it looks like Barcelona will lose Ousmane Dembele. And there isn't much time left in the transfer market for Barcelona to go too far in their search for a replacement to fill the position left by Ousmane Dembele. And Joao Felix has even publicly expressed his interest in joining Barcelona. Even Joao Felix's agent has offered himself to Barcelona from the very beginning of the transfer market. But this is just conjecture. Because there is no official news related to this.

Genuine Madrid? I have not witnessed any outstanding performances by Real Madrid, as evidenced by the fact that Real Madrid's preseason games against Barcelona and Bayern Munich both demonstrated the need for a stronger player. Real Madrid's performance initially appears to be very strong when they face Manchester United and AC Milan. But the remaining exhibition games demonstrate how Real Madrid's lack of Benzema has affected them because they lack a quality striker who can fill Benzema's role.

I simply think that Barcelona is the best team right now, even though they are about to lose Dembele, one of their best players, and I think that even without Dembele, Barcelona won't have any problems this year because they have a player who can fill his spot as well. Therefore, in my opinion, the only way for Real Madrid's squad to become one of the strongest teams in La Liga is to sign mbappe. Because of the news that mbappe once again turned down an offer from PSG and is sticking to his decision that he would only play for Real Madrid this season, I believe Real Madrid now has an excellent opportunity to bargain with PSG.

But the situation this time in Barcelona is clearly different and it seems that Xavi and Barcelona are starting to open up to approach Joao Felix. The reason is because it looks like Barcelona will lose Ousmane Dembele.

Joao Felix is an excellent young striker. Last season he played with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. We saw quite a good performance from Joao Felix. Barcelona were not interested in Joao Felix last season as they already had plenty of young strikers in their squad. Ansu Fati. Torres and Raphinha are each young. Xavi does not want to add another young striker to the squad. Xavi decided to sell Dembele this season. This is why he wants to replace Dembele with Joao Felix.

And there isn't much time left in the transfer market for Barcelona to go too far in their search for a replacement to fill the position left by Ousmane Dembele. And Joao Felix has even publicly expressed his interest in joining Barcelona. Even Joao Felix's agent has offered himself to Barcelona from the very beginning of the transfer market. But this is just conjecture. Because there is no official news related to this.

Felix was with Atletico Madrid for a long time. He is well acquainted with the gameplay of La League. If Barcelona take Joao Felix to the team, Felix can quickly adapt himself to the team. Although Joao Felix is still young, I think Felix can play well with Barcelona as Dembele's replacement.

[zaim7413]

Courtois is among the potential goalkeepers in Europe, and he has proven to them in so many ways to helped his team to lift many titles since he joined the team, and he is still ready to help the team to embrace this la Liga league title this season. I think,  Real Madrid will going to miss him when his contract expire because he will like to join Saudi Arabia club where he will be receiving huge amount of money, because their clubs are paying more than Europa league. Now that many potential players and goalkeepers are accepting offers from Saudi Arabia club based on the big money involved, show that courtois will like to join soon so that he will be part of those that will enjoy the benefits attached to it.

Courtois still has a high interest in continuing to play with Madrid and he is likely to turn down offers from anywhere including the Saudi Arabian Club, he could just give him time to finish his job for a few more seasons. Because Madrid still needs his services so far there hasn't even been a goalkeeper equal to Courtois. Courtois is not the type of person who is high on salary but it is undeniable that money is still money that anyone needs, especially with high offers. The Saudi Arabian club could still get Courtois if they waited patiently because for this much-needed season, Madrid will in no way let him go.

Real Madrid who are trying to improve their squad after they failed last season will not accept offers from any club to take Courtois away from them. Courtois' services are still needed by Real Madrid to guard their crossbar, an offer from an Arab league club is certainly very tempting for any player, moreover he will receive a salary many times what he gets at Real Madrid. Courtois has had to put aside the chance of a high salary even though it is urgently needed, he still has the chance to play in the Arab League after achieving success with Real Madrid.

Also Barcelona will profitable from Dembele transfer fee, although Barcelona lost Dembele but they nothing to lose much, because he is also often injured at Camp Nou. Yes under the leadership of Luis Enrique then Dembele has a high chance of shining at Paris, there is no doubt about Luis Enrique coaching but that's if Dembele isn't injured there.

This deal will be a big blow to Barcelona after psg confirming Ousmane Dembélé for just €50 million. The transfer is almost ready to happen. There was a time when people disliked Dembélé because of his frequent injuries. Yet, he proved his importance eventually. He will move to psg and get the success. Let's hope this will be a very profitable transfer, and he continues shine there.

It will be a slippery mistake for Jaoh Felix to live for any Saudi club, Al-Hilal's offer was real and convincing but he rejected it and the young player taste remain the same as Barcelona, even Xavi ascertain that the club need more able guys to balance every position they will play in the season as there are still resources on ground. However, it seems Barcelona are not convinced enough for such deal,  Atletico Madrid seems to want to sell him to the Blaugrana club which I'm sure he is interested but there is no official offer on the table yet.

The more I look at the relationship of Joao Felix with Atletico Madrid, it seems he was brought to the club to improve their balance sheet because no reason to sign a player for the long term only to be loaned out and now want to dispose him; sometimes I wonder if they ever think in the spot of topping their domestic league and other community leagues with all their choice of buying and selling player and the worst case of long term contract or maybe they are doing it to get player at any means, that's like scamming and toying a players future.
