La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Mame89]

Joselu is an important member of the current Real Madrid squad and from what we've seen so far this season, he'll continue to be regular name in the team sheets of Real Madrid players before any match.
That being said, I think Joselu falls in the second choice of attacking players behind Vinicius Jnr and Rodrygo and has been starting the games since Vinicius is out injured. If the Brazilian returns to fully fitness, Joselu will be playing from the bench as far as Real Madrid manager continues with his current formation

Joselu may not be the main choice, maybe Joselu will complete the quota of Spanish players to accompany Lucas Vasquez, Nacho, Dani Carvajal. because the rule in Spain is that every club must have at least six Spanish players or something like that. If Joselu replaces Benzema, that's a different level, he comes to Real Madrid as an alternative striker that Real Madrid is waiting for is a top player who will wear number nine in the future.

However, seeing that Real Madrid has not brought in a top striker, I believe in Joselu for this season, rather than forcing Valverde - Rodrygo - Vini, it is better for him to be the spearhead in breaking the deadlock. It's just that Real Madrid's way of playing has to be changed a little. because if Benzema can go wide, open up space, share the ball with Rodygo and Vini, maybe now is the time to support Joselu.

With Madrid busy competition schedule, Josellu will automatically become a starter in Ancelotti squad. In certain matches Ancelotti can rotate him, as he did with Modric and Kroos this season. Actually, Madrid also still has options on the front line that can be played, such as Brahim Diaz. I think this is a moment for Brahim and Josellu to show their quality before Madrid recruits a new striker.

Real Madrid steps to hunt for Mbappe signature have again been unsuccessful, I increasingly doubt that he will not be recruited by Madrid in the future.

I prefer to think that they are struggling to score goals rather than not trying to score many goals in a match because looking at their condition for the beginning of this season it seems very difficult for them to score more than 2 goals in 1 match.
There still needs to be some familiarisation when trying out some of the younger players and Lewandowski's performance is still hampered by the opposition's marking which makes it difficult for Barcelona to find many goals in their matches.

Despite this the chances of them winning definitely remain as they are the favourites and the worst possibility is a draw although this would be difficult for Betis to force a draw.

I just hope Robert Lewandowski get back to his full potential like that at Bayern Munich were he could be able to score several hat tricks in one season, ever since he came to Barcelona I've not really been impressed with his performance compared to when he was at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are known to be very dominant and very high in possession on the pitch, they love to press their opponents and force them out of their defense line which is a very fine tactics that could make them easily win matches against smaller club but you'll find them pressing and failing to put the ball into the net, and it would fall back to Lewandowski inconsistency for Barcelona, since he's the top 9 it's his responsibility to get the ball into the net but it's been uneasy for him instead it's the Barcelona wingers and Midfielders that mostly scores for them.

It's difficult, Lewandowski is a good player but on the other hand, we also have to remember that his age has started to interfere with his performance so it's impossible to expect the same performance when at Bayern which was Lewandowski's golden era.
But he will still be very useful for now for Barcelona, it's just that until now it seems that Lewandowski is still very difficult to get his form at the beginning of this season.
It's up to Xavi to revive Lewandowski and it's up to Lewandowski whether or not he can break free from his current state because from what some of Barcelona's opponents have done at the start of this season they know that keeping Lewandowski at bay is a top priority and letting Barcelona have more of the ball.

Joselu is playing so good for Real Madrid and they can feel better with Joselu in their squad after losing Karim Bezema to Al Ittihad. Joselu is a striker and he does not compete a position in Real Madrid squad with Vinicius or Rodrgyo. Those players have different favorite positions and they can play together, support each other in a same squad.

Joselu does not have a massive career like Karim Benzema but he knows how to score goals. Madrid need goals, Joselu have goals for them and it's enough as a striker and goal scoring task.

I think Joselu will sooner or later become a goal machine for Madrid, along with Rodrygo and Vinicius. When Joselu lack of front line options appeared promising, it certainly couldn't be separated from Madrid capable midfield support. Something that Joselu didn't get when playing at Espanyol, in Madrid he can make it happen.

Even though many doubted his arrival at the start, slowly but surely Joselu developed and adapted well to Madrid. Ancelotti will not bother thinking about a top striker this season, Josellu could be the answer for this season.

[Cookdata]

Considering the formation Ancelotti is using right now there is no way Joselu aren't playing. Because he needs 2 strikers in the attacking line and there are only two available right now. If Vinicius Junior didn't get injured he would have been in Joselu's place that's for sure. However this can at least be a chance for Joselu.

He scored a goal against Getafe. If he maintains this effort as much as possible he can compete really well with Rodrygo. When Vinicius Junior is back maybe we might even see Joselu beside him. But this task isn't going to be easy considering Rodrygo's playing really good too.

I think as long as Vinicius Jr is still not fully recovered Ancelotti will continue to use Joselu to replace his position or if perhaps Vinicius has recovered I am sure Ancelotti will still use this player because if you look at the several matches played by Joselu he has made a very good contribution with his playing style. unique and managed to provide a score in the last match yesterday against Getafe.
If it is possible to compare Rodrygo with Joselu, both of them have great talent and reliable ball control and even though Vinicius returns when he recovers, it looks like there will still be Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Joselu and Rodrygo.

When did Anceloti turned to a medical practitioner? If the medical claims that Vinicious is good to go, he will use him and you know why? It's because he need him to reduce the work load of Bellingham and Rodrigo. The past weeks, Real Madrid match has always been a successful one but to be honest, they struggle to win those matches, it will be wise and smart it he allowed Vinicious back into the game, he will even have chance to change the game of Real Madrid and make other teams on trap. With little to no players on ground, that will be difficult to accomplish and God for bid, if another injury comes, he will suffer another week loss.

Joselu is great and show and incredible first goal for Real Madrid  against Getafe even when Rodrigo didn't have any in that match but we all know that Rodrigo is better fit more in that position and Vinicious been in this side and we can't use a single goal to rate him to Rodrigo standard and beside, Rodrigo is more younger and energetic to help the team more than Joselu that has finished his career across different leagues.

[hahay]

I think as long as Vinicius Jr is still not fully recovered Ancelotti will continue to use Joselu to replace his position or if perhaps Vinicius has recovered I am sure Ancelotti will still use this player because if you look at the several matches played by Joselu he has made a very good contribution with his playing style. unique and managed to provide a score in the last match yesterday against Getafe.
If it is possible to compare Rodrygo with Joselu, both of them have great talent and reliable ball control and even though Vinicius returns when he recovers, it looks like there will still be Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Joselu and Rodrygo.

Ancelotti will always rely on the four players you mentioned this season because Real Madrid really needs the best players for their front line. So Ancelotti will always rely on the four of them in the positions that are needed at the moment because Vinicius Jr's return time is not long now so Ancelotti will probably prepare a new, better way for the Real Madrid team to be able to continue to consistently win this season.

If Vinicius recovers then of course, Ancelotti will prioritize Vinicius as the main choice in the starting eleven. It doesn't matter whether Joselu has made a good contribution or not because after all, one of them has to be a reserve player to anticipate injuries. If they continue to be played simultaneously, then when they get injured in the same match. So yes, it is very possible that there are no more players who can fill his position with the same quality. Anyway, not all Real Madrid players have to attack, because of course Ancelotti also has to focus on maintaining the midfield and defense to remain good too.

If the Brazilian returns to fully fitness, Joselu will be playing from the bench as far as Real Madrid manager continues with his current formation

IMO, if I observe so far. Don Carlo only prepared Joselu as a supersub player, as a replacement for one of the Brazilian striker duo. and when Vini Jr was injured, he had the opportunity to play as the main starter. in the Getafe match, even though he experienced a few obstacles in overthrowing the opposing team. but in the end, Joselu was able to play well as a substitute for Vini Jr.

From what I have observed, from Madrid's four matches, Don Carlo tends to use a new system for his squad. If he doesn't use 4-3-1-2, Ancelotti uses a 4-1-2-1 pattern. In conclusion, it is very likely that Ancelotti will not implement a 4-3-3 system, like when Karim Benzema was still playing for Madrid. This means that Ancelotti will still maximize the duo of Vini Jr and Rodrygo, supported by Bellingham as an attacking midfielder or possibly as a playmaker. If Vini Jr recovers from his injury, Joselu will return to the bench.  Well, the problem would be if one of Madrid's front line players were injured. Thus, Madrid will experience a striker crisis on the front lines. In the next few weeks, the Champions League will start immediately, as well as various other competitions. which means, Carlo Ancelotti must maintain the fitness of his players and avoid injuries. otherwise, it will be a problem for them.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Things are working out well with the current system of Ancelotti for Real Madrid in the La Liga. However I'm really wondering what will happen in the Champions League. Of course they have an easy group to deal with. Napoli is the only serious competition for Real Madrid so the worst case scenario would be losing the lead to Napoli.

But after the group stage things will start getting more serious and they will face probably much bigger challenges right away. In that case I hope they won't be in search of a more productive striker. I don't even know if Ancelotti would continue to use this 4-3-1-2 formation there. If this system starts not to work after a point then I would like to start watching Vinicius on the left wing again. 

[ndutndut]

When Joselu lack of front line options appeared promising, it certainly couldn't be separated from Madrid capable midfield support.

Even though many doubted his arrival at the start, slowly but surely Joselu developed and adapted well to Madrid. Ancelotti will not bother thinking about a top striker this season, Josellu could be the answer for this season.

Of course, Carlo Ancelotti was forced to make Joselu Real Madrid's striker this season because he had no other choice. Because Vini and Rodrygo are not pure strikers, they need a mobile striker like Benzema. Meanwhile, the type of player like Joselu is a striker, target man. Vini and Rodrygo are not wingers who rely on crosses. So this season the Real Madrid squad is not perfect, they have to wait for next season because Real Madrid has had the arrival of Edrick, and maybe Mbappe plus a change of coach as we know Carlo Ancelotti will coach Brazil. For this season, with the squad that Real Madrid has, I am confident that it will be able to win the La Liga title from rivals Barcelona, but for the Champions League Madrid's squad is still not perfect.

[skarais]

It seems like everyone seems happy talking about Joselu and Vinicius until it fills the last page, but you need to know that Modric doesn't seem happy because he is the second choice this season. Ancelotti tended not to play Modric and Kross as his main players earlier this season and tended to play players younger than them. These two senior players only have 1 appearance as a starter in the last 4 matches, but both have been reserve players in the other 3 matches.

Of course this is not a pleasant situation for Modric and Kross, so there are rumors about a possible immediate departure. In the end the two senior players had to be left out due to their age, but I believe they are likely to want to appear more as starters even if they have to be replaced in the second half.

[SmartCharpa]

Honestly, Joselu's performance in his first match replacing Vini JR was quite impressive. In fact, no one thought that his contribution would be quite big in that match. With a goal in his first match, it really opened up the opportunity for him to stay in the first squad, if he could really be consistent and continue to play well. And we also have to see Vini's performance in the future, because after all, Vii is also one of the key players at Real Madrid at the moment. Ancelotti will definitely continue to think about various considerations and the right moment to play Vini JR or Joselu after Vini recovers from injury. We'll see in the future what Joselu's contribution will be.

We all agree that Vinicius' absence was the reason Joselu's was selected for the squad, and when Vinicius returns from the injury, I know Ancelloti won't make him a member of the starting eleven. After all, we all know that Vini Jr. is one of the best players in Real Madrid and cannot be excluded from the squad due to the fact that he is among the best players in the club. Although the team has complete faith in Vinicius to perform well this season, we cannot assume that due to the minor injury he sustained, he will be out of form. Despite Joselu's excellent performance, Ancelloti may decide to keep him if one of the starting eleven gets hurt, but cannot say he isn't yet a member of the first team.

Yeah slowly but surely, Joselu can adaptation with Real Madrid, as a striker he is actually not bad and could be better performance. But Ancelotti maybe not continue to play him in the starting eleven, if Vini is back from injury and available to play. Even so, Real Madrid have good squad depth. Also Bellingham is a very smart young man there, he can be a goal machine too. I personally hope Bellingham can continue to make a good contribution, especially in big UCL events.

I don't think Joselu is as good as you say, but I admit he had a good contribution in Real Madrid's win against Getafe. Joselu has not yet found his best form at Real Madrid, that's because he is still going through the adaptation process as a new player. There is pressure on Joselu at Real Madrid so he doesn't have good statistics in Real Madrid's 4 games so far, but I hope he can contribute while Vinicius is injured.

As a loan player, I think Joselu only has 1 season at Real Madrid and he likely won't know much about his future. However, Joselu is obliged to give his best for Real Madrid and that is why he was given the opportunity to be on the pitch. He can win his first title this season at club level, of course that will make him more motivated.

The important thing is that Madrid have several important matches. And Madrid must win these matches if they want to continue their dominance in the Champions League and La Liga. Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid in La Liga. On the other hand, they will play against Union Berlin in the Champions League match. They have to earn full points in every match. Madrid desperately needed Vinicius Jr. at the moment. Because the most talented player in Madrid's attack right now is Vinicius. Joselu is yet to adjust himself well to the group. If Bellingham doesn't play well, it won't be easy for Madrid to continue to perform well consistently.

Ancelotti is not a coach who will make long-term plans with his performance in a match. Of course, it was a good match for Joselu, but perhaps the plans will not change from now on. When Vinicius returns, he can play the same way for a few more games. I see potential in Joselu, he is a really good player, but I also think Real Madrid still needs a finishing striker.

[Alpha Marine]

It seems like everyone seems happy talking about Joselu and Vinicius until it fills the last page, but you need to know that Modric doesn't seem happy because he is the second choice this season. Ancelotti tended not to play Modric and Kross as his main players earlier this season and tended to play players younger than them. These two senior players only have 1 appearance as a starter in the last 4 matches, but both have been reserve players in the other 3 matches.

Of course, this is not a pleasant situation for Modric and Kross, so there are rumors about a possible immediate departure. In the end, the two senior players had to be left out due to their age, but I believe they are likely to want to appear more as starters even if they have to be replaced in the second half.

They both extended their contract by just one year. They know they're old and will need to move on soon. Modric and Kroos understand this.
But I tell you what, when the season gets tough and Madrid starts playing tough matches in the UCL and the league it will be Modric and Kroos that will start and save Madrid. We saw it last season. There's no midfielder in Madrid as creative as Modric. None of the midfielders in Madrid right now is better than Modric. They are very good ballers.
Ancelotti might feel like he doesn't need them or maybe he just wants to see what these young players have to offer but Modric and Kroos will still take their place.

Camavinga will most likely go back to the right-back position when Cavaja goes on his usual injury in crucial times. Valverde is not starting in midfield ahead of Modric. So that leaves only Bellingham and Tchouameni. Tchouameni is the only DM Madrid has so he might start if Camavinga plays RB.
I believe in tough matches Madrid will play a midfield of Tchouameni, Modric and Bellingham that's if Camavinga is at RB.

Both Modric and Toni Kroos were supposed to leave Real Madrid this summer due to age factor; but the coach Ancelotti applied his knowledge; he asked both Kroos AND Modric to sign a year extended contract so that they can stay behind and tutor and guide the new madrid signings Bellingham, Tchoemani and Camavinga how things get done as both talisman experience is alot and huge.

The model of football Management in Real Madrid is something i admire; especially if they get to sign Kylian Mbappe in the next summer.

Tactically I agree with you, but I have doubts about the result because Ancelotti is faced with several problems. The team has lost several important players in defense, goalkeeper and also in attack, so I don't think it will be easy to make any adjustments without detrimental consequences.

I hope Ancelotti has a good way to maintain Real Madrid's performance even though his squad has shortcomings, but I'm sure this will not be an easy task. I don't know, but let's wait and see what will happen in the next match.

If I were to say I would say that Modric, Kroos and Benzema did their best to groom those young players before now and I am sure the young players have learnt alot of it before now. After this season the playing period of these old players will have to reduce very well and the younger ones will take very much charge. Jude Bellingham easily blended with the Madrid team, I do not think that they have much things to debate on him to adapt, he is good and wonderfully made just like the other young players.

I respectfully disagree with you, Modric and Kroos are so important to Real Madrid because they still perform well and nobody yet to replace their position in the team or play better and for them we can apply the quote that says age is just a number, But it’s not due to Ancelotti that they stayed or it’s from wisdom I see it as logic and they prefer to stay in Real Madrid that’s all. The coach for me has lost more than he earned especially last season when they lost LaLiga title and UCL, So i can say that from what he missed and the amount of mistakes he have done I prefer that the white house management changed and brought a new coach who can find the best tactics for this great team of players.
After Benzema is gone and even before him the administration didn’t look for a replacement and a good alternative that will be the new striker, now Real Madrid is having a hard time in the attack.
