La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

I don't know if there is a faster recovery process for these types of injuries, but if there is, Real Madrid urgently needs to find a way to recover their injured players quickly.

It's tough, Vini had the same problem a few months ago and he was sidelined for a month and now he has the same problem with a tear in his bicep femoral muscle which will definitely keep him out until at least the end of the year.
Now with the current situation then indeed Madrid must look for some alternatives to find a viable option although there are still some players like Brahim Dias or Joselu who can be used as temporary replacements but indeed at this time surely Madrid must be able to find some players because otherwise this hurricane of injuries could interfere.

Things like this are a concern for clubs when players strengthen their country. Yes, when they come back, they come back with an injury that they sustained while defending their country. Of course this is a loss for a club, and not only the club, the article their country also has the same loss if only their players cannot recover quickly.
The hurricane of injuries has hit several teams, and Real Madrid are one of the teams that have experienced something that will make it difficult for them.
I agree that they need to find other options quickly, at least until their players return and recover from injury. Since they have some important matches ahead of them, it is imperative that they do well.

Real Madrid current situation is very terrible after Bellingham suffered an injury and now Vinicius Jr is injured, whereas this player is a very important player for Madrid, even though there are reserve players who can replace the position of injured players, but of course the performance this club will decline slightly while the goal Ancelotti currently wants to win the champions league title and be able to dominate LaLiga, but if his main player experiences problems like this it will be very difficult.
I know that a player has to defend his country but for some reason injuries always happen and Real madrid is experiencing the most serious injury problems, even Real Madrid defenders are also injured and I hope that this injury will recover soon.

The news of Vinicius Jnr's injury is a big blow to Real Madrid considering the importance of the Brazilian to the Real Madrid squad. From the reports so far, it's reported that's he's expected to be sidelined till the end of the year which means that the club manager will be using Joselu as his current replacement using the club's current formation.
If Real Madrid must contend for a serious title this season, they must sign few more forward players during the January transfer window because the club's failure to land a replacement for their former captain Karim Benzema has really affected their performance this season

The news has sadden too many Real Madrid fans and Madrid lovers around the world. Now, too much have been said about the matter of Vinicius Junior and other Injured players.
Real Madrid did well without Vinicius Junior for a while and I'm certain that they make it soft even if they won't be without some key players.
Joselu should step up if he wants to remain as a long term Real Madrid player, I've read of him saying he hopes to have his contract extended with Real Madrid. I don't see that happening because, he has barely showed up for Real Madrid. I want to see him step up in the absence of these players.

Vinicius Jr. If his injury is as long-lasting as mentioned, this really means a big problem for Real Madrid. The absence of Vinicius Jr will be felt as he is one of Real Madrid's key players and directs the attack. If Arda Güler had not been injured again, maybe Ancelotti could have tried him in that area, but he was injured for the third time and could not play at all. Injuries have hurt Real Madrid a lot this year.

Sevilla still maintain this horrible form in the La Liga. They can't win a game for 6 weeks and the last 5 ones ended up with a draw. At least they could have been better in the Champions League but there is no much hope there either. It is even doubtful they would continue on their way with the Europa League.

If they go on like this they might part ways with Diego Alonso at the end of the season at worst as well. They are already accustomed to changing managers very often in the end. It wouldn't be any surprise to see as a result.

Embarrassing, this have been tough times for Sevilla, I would say signing Sergio Ramos would improve them defense but it didn't, I will day signing a new coach would bring some updates and improvements and consistency but still he couldn't.
Sevilla now remain at the thirteenth position on the La Liga standing. Which is similar to what we saw last season.  The only impressive game they've played was to draw points with Real Madrid.

They may be back in the Europa League or out forever this season, do you also think that they shouldn't have sacked the coach that won them the Europa League Competition? He had a poor performance though, I feel like the club made a good decision. Yet, they'll need to looking at pressing matters more right now!

Sergio Ramos got really emotional when he returned to his home. He was understood really ambitious as well from his statements at the first times. His performance can be considered as average for now. I remember him saying that he would like to score against Barcelona in the La Liga game before as well. But he scored an unfortunate own goal instead. 

Anyway when it comes to your question about the decision to sack their previous manager I think they did wrong there. They should have given Mendilibar more time to help the team recover. In the end they won the Europa League with him. His credit should have been bigger than this.

Sergio Ramos is really so yesterday. He also began to be injured all too often and at PSG he was never able to play his best for a few games in a row. There were some moments when he put some effort into the attacks himself and he can still be dangerous with his head, but he was never close to being the one who decided a game with his spectacular defensive performance.

I'd like to know for how long he will stay at Sevilla, but I would rather expect a short stay. Maybe for two seasons in total, but it could also end in summer when some club from Saudi Arabia offers him a lot of money.

There will be no impact whatsoever regarding Vinicius Jr's absence in the Real Madrid squad, because Real Madrid still has Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos to help Real Madrid's attack power.

Arda Güler has become a regular in terms of injuries, having to quickly find a replacement to anticipate vacancies in the line which will be detrimental to Real Madrid, although Ancelotti is not too bothered by the thought of players suffering injuries but this will at any time become an obstacle in Real Madrid's future.

Real madrid can at least still able to use some potential players to replace vini. I remind you that if real madrid was also playing without vini before it got another injury. Madrid will be repeating the same thing again.
As long as bellingham was there and that's fine. The main problem if bellingham will be injured as well. This can be a disaster for real madrid caused by the club must have played without the best formations.
Bellingham is someone who can carry the club to be much better than before. Having him in the squad is still making me feel convenient with it.

We can hope vini to recover from his injury as soon as possible. Everything is still possible for him. Real madrid will be missing him a lot since vini is one of ke player of madrid. We will be using old formation (joselu, rodrygo, bellingham)
Ancellotti are still having those guys. There's no need to feel worry about that. bellingham will able to carry the team again as long as modric will be playing.

At least Sergio Ramos only has a contract until the end of this season, or it could be said that Sergio Ramos is under contract at Sevilla only for this season . Also, it seems that previously Sergio Ramos had rejected the offer to play in the Saudi Pro League and Sergio Ramos preferred back home and play at Sevilla, but in fact Sergio Ramos didn't play well here either with an own goal in the match against Barcelona . But ya, maybe Sergio Ramos can still provide good results for Sevilla this season because after all, at this moment Sevilla has also managed to stay away from the relegation zone and is still in the middle of the La Liga standings at the moment.

It seems this current international break is becoming a disaster for Real Madrid. Eduardo Camavinga will be out for about ten weeks after he ruptured the external lateral ligament of his right knee. Now will be out for about two months after suffering a hamstring tear. Real will be having a busy schedule with seven matches to play before the end of the year. With the absence of important players like Camavinga, Bellingham, Tchouamen, and Vinicius Junior, Real might have a very difficult run after the break.

International break has never been a friendly moment for football clubs. Long travel and entering a different shape of training often makes player pick up injuries. This time Real Madrid get affected the most. Losing important players like Vinicius and Camavinga wont be a problem for a short term, because Madrid's squad depth is great, but it will be problem if it's a long term absences, because Modric and Kroos can't play every game anymore due to their age.

Ancelotti needs to find solution for this till they come back. even though those injuries give significant effect to Madrid, I dont think it will be a big disaster for Madrid. While they may drop few points, They still can win some games.

Not only was Vini Jr injured, but Camavinga also suffered an external lateral ligament injury in his right knee. Camavinga is expected to be absent until the end of the 2023 season, and is scheduled to return in January. So, now Real Madrid is hit by many players suffering from injuries. there are approximately 7 core players, although Tchouameni is rumored to be returning on 26 November.
In the match against Cadiz, Carlo Ancelotti's squad remains the favorite and is expected to have no difficulty in winning the match. after all, Real Madrid has other options as replacements for injured players. but for other matches, it can affect the team's performance. because it wasn't just Vini Jr who was injured. However, Camavinga is also an important player for Madrid.
Like it or not, Don Carlo has to change his strategy to deal with absent players. Even though we know of other options as a replacement, it doesn't guarantee a good performance.

On the other hand, Vini Jr's absence provides space for Joselu to play more and prove his worth as a substitute striker. Apart from that, the combination of Joselu and Rodrygo and Bellingham will be seen in the match they will play. if it is not ideal, Ancelotti must find a way to rearrange his strategy. and what is certain is that the absence of two Madrid players will be detrimental to the team as a whole, especially in crucial matches.

Of course, Madrid will definitely suffer losses because Vini is injured, but even so, what you say is also true, Madrid still has many great players who can fill the void while Vini is injured, this week against Cádiz is certainly not a complicated opponent for Madrid because of course Madrid can steal points from the match. This is to continue to keep Girona tight at the top of the standings, Madrid cannot afford to lose points if they want to chase the title this season.

Cádiz are playing at home as hosts, of course they also don't want to be embarrassed and lose points, they will play as best as they can playing defensively and steal a point from this match even though in reality it will be difficult because Bellingham is on fire so it is likely that he will score several goals in Cadiz goal.

Without Vini jr, Real Madrid will struggle to score goals because he is the one who creates chances for the players to score goals. I believe Ancelotti will use another information against Cádiz because Real are missing Vini jr, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, and Bellingham, but I'm not sure if Bellingham will return before the match against Cádiz. Joselu is not playing well in Real Madrid which is why Ancelotti doesn't like starting matches with him again, Because he used to miss many chances when playing in pitch is better that is a loan to Real Madrid, if madrid get new striker he can leave the club and go back to is Espanyol, because how he performs in Espanyol is not doing it in Real Madrid. We'll see if mbappe comes to Real Madrid in the next transfer window due to the fact Real Madrid needs to sign a better striker to make the team stronger. Also let's watch how Real Madrid performs with the remaining squad members who are not injured.

If you are a true Real Madrid fan, all I can say is don't worry. Real Madrid has other players who can be relied on to fill the position of the injured Vinicius, as well as other injured players. The problem at the moment is that Real Madrid does not have a stock of players with the same quality as the injured players, so of course there will be bad consequences because of this storm of injuries. The impact of a decline in performance is very possible, but I don't expect it to happen which results in the loss of several points for Real Madrid.

Good hope also remains. As a big team, Real Madrid will not completely lose its fighting power just because it loses several players due to injury. The next match will not be tough, so it will not affect Real Madrid's probability of winning. Cadiz are playing at home, but they are a weak team that is likely to be easy for Ancelotti's men to handle.

It's a long journey and they need to get fit quickly and go straight into the game, it's not easy for a player and the repercussions can be tremendous, such as injuries.
Actually this is inevitable, and when talking about losses, actually all have losses. Maybe in this case the club pays them, but on the other hand this is a form of honor and pride for players who are called up by their country and join the squad.
This requires the genius of a coach to anticipate things like this, for example they have prepared for the worst, so that they are not in trouble when their players suffer injuries like this.

[AakZaki]

Players are very vulnerable to injury during international breaks, I don’t know why it is always like this. This cannot also stop a club from releasing a player to go play for his nation when they are called upon because that will also increase their chances of winning more trophies and add to their name. Real Madrid are now in a big mess to have lost all these players to injury, let’s hope they recover early and get back on their feet.

~snip~

It seems that if a player is injured while playing for the country, it is the responsibility of his country. But I understand, maybe not all club doctors fully believe in treatment. And the problem of current player injuries is also a concern. Because their specialist doctor has been expelled because it seems that the treatment is not very good. Madrid have sacked Dr. Niko Mihic and it appears they have a female chief physician Gabicia. It seems that this is also the result of the handling on Guller that does not improve.

[QueenVera]

Vinicius Junior was recently backed in good form and this player had an effective role in Real Madrid because they didn't have many good forwards after Benzema left the team, also Vinicius Junior was under more pressure and he was the first hipe for Ancelotti to score goals.
But unfortunately in the game against Colombia, he got injured and he can't play for the next ten weeks in Real Madrid.

I feel so for Vinícius Jr, he's not going to enjoy this season because of injury, he just returned to the club from an injury that's last him a month plus and now he's currently sustained another one that would keep him out of the club until next year, which is too bad, this could mean a very big issue for Realmadrid cause they've lost several of their key players to injury, it's Left for only Rodrygo to help deliver his team while those players are away.

 Realmadrid could experience hare times when they return from the internal break, playing without Jude Bellingham, Camavinga and Vinícius Jr could be a very big setback for them, except If Ancelotti could be able to manage this players he has left until the return of those key players, however this could force them to spend more than expected in the Jan window to recruit new players that could help maintain the strength of the team in time of injury.

[Oluwa-btc]

Sergio Ramos got really emotional when he returned to his home. He was understood really ambitious as well from his statements at the first times. His performance can be considered as average for now. I remember him saying that he would like to score against Barcelona in the La Liga game before as well. But he scored an unfortunate own goal instead. 

Anyway when it comes to your question about the decision to sack their previous manager I think they did wrong there. They should have given Mendilibar more time to help the team recover. In the end they won the Europa League with him. His credit should have been bigger than this.

There's no place like home you know, Sergio Ramos got welcomed warmly even if he saw same with the Los Blancos side during his time with em.
I've watched some of his games and the games Sevilla has played since his return to his boyhood club. He's no different from defenders we watch from third divisions in the Championships. ( England ) there's a much difference from the idol I watched during his days with Real Madrid. ( Anyways, Paulo Maldini and Sergio Ramos remain my goats when it comes to defending. )
Scoring own goal is no new thing for him, I've seen similar scenes with Real Madrid.

Winning the Europa League Competition is no easy feat, Even Jose Mourinho five times European Competition winner lost. He shouldn't have been sacked. Yeah I understand they want to see improvement. But anyways, they've struggled till this  moment in La Liga. This new coach should improve else he'll be shown the exit.

Vinicius Júnior injured in International game for Brazil and that has cause another blow for Real Madrid after the break. Carlo Ancelotti and his team will be the one to suffer from his absence, he's a key man in the frontline and having him on the pitch full-time have developed the team's current performance. However backup players would utilized this opportunity brilliantly because that's one golden opportunity they will never get again. Real Madrid admires best talents and they will do anything to keep backup players that are capable of delivering the team in crucial moments.

There is still enough time for vini to recover from his injury. Real madrid has also issued medical report about vini but there's no update regarding how long needed by him to recover from his injury.

https://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2023/11/18/vini-jr-medical-report

That's very bad to see that real madrid has got someone who is being added into the list of players who are injured.

There are around 9 players who are injured started from

thibaut
tchouameni
ceballos and many more.

Real madrid is in a difficult situation. I think that madrid will be trying to buy some players during the winter transfer. The club has been also making the list of player that must be recuited by the club.
It's important to have backup in the squad once the main players were injured.

[Volgastallion]

My principal doubt is, if Girona after this international break is gonna still being this good, or they are gonna start to fall behind, maybe they can last until the winter break, and become the winter champions  i remember the alst team becoming winter champion asides of the big threes was Real Sociedad a lot of time ago.

I think some people would have the same doubts as you, including myself. Not to underestimate them, but from our experience in La Liga, that teams that can surprise at the beginning of the season they will not be able to maintain until the end of the season, and that always happens, and maybe we can see from the past few seasons that there are always teams that can provide a surprise but at the end of the season it is still the 3 teams that are in the top 3, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This may also be felt by other teams, one of which is Girona who are now at the top of the table.

[slapper]

This is the main reason I do not like international breaks and games, players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries and this sad incidents is channel to affects the important players that served vital roles on the pitch in  elite teams. Vinicius Júnior is affected, first it was Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Anthony Rüdiger, Aurelio Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and now we have Vinicius Júnior, can Real Madrid be able to keep the top race with the absence of these players? I think Carlo Ancelotti will figure a way like he always do, more reason I respects him.

Agree. It risks players very much, they have no enough time for the rest. Moreover, they will play seriously in the international matches because they play for their country. With the injury of Vinicius Júnior, Real Madrid has 8 injured players. Sadly, almost all of them are Real Madrid main players. I don't know how Ancelotti to dal with this injury problem. With no Vinicius in the from line, Real Madrid probably replace him with Brahim Díaz or Joselu. Or Ancelotti will try to change again the formation and tactic.  

Because of their recent injury woes, Real Madrid is in a difficult situation, and things do not appear excellent. Any coach would be terrified to having to substitute eight key players, including Vinicius Jr., but Ancelotti would be particularly horrified. Concern should be expressed since it seems that players' involvement in international competitions is negatively affecting their play. I believe Brahim D'az or Joselu could fill in admirably in the interim, but Ancelotti doesn't appear to have many options. In light of that, depending solely on substitutes will not suffice. It is imperative that Ancelotti utilizes more inventive tactics, and he could even have to reconsider the composition of the team. Although it's a difficult position, Ancelotti's strategic thinking and the team's depth will be put to the test
