La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Furious 7]

Ancelotti's decision to extend his contract with Real Madrid until 2026 indicates that he is not satisfied with what has been achieved at club level. Of course this is welcomed by Real Madrid and all fans, but there is no guarantee for him to win many titles during the term of his contract.

So far Real Madrid has a good squad to win several domestic competitions, but I doubt they can win titles on the European stage without a productive striker. So far, Real Madrid has only relied on Bellingham, but Real Madrid always finds it difficult to win matches when Bellingham's performance is not good. That is one of the homework assignments for Real Madrid this season, but Madrid will probably improve their squad in the next transfer window.

It can be said like that, because if you look at the condition of Ancelotti now, especially when discussing about age, it should have entered retirement age for a coach but it seems that he does not want to leave quickly in this case and re-extend for 2 seasons, actually it is very long for an Ancelotti and maybe with this Madrid is the last club he will defend before really taking a break from his career in football.

On the other hand, with this indirectly also that the rumors about several names such as Xabi, Nagelsmann and of course Zidane are no longer meaningful for Madrid because it will only prepare for competition with the squad that Ancelotti has designed from the previous few seasons, especially for young players who have become Ancelotti's long-term project so far.

Huh it's quite surprising because we're always abuzz with situations like Ancellotti who is already leaving at the end of this season to coach the Brazilian national team. Still, this news is quite surprising for me.
This is a good thing as well as a situation that could be bad in my opinion because after all there are positives and negatives that occur in this case where the positive side is that Ancelotti has been able to carry out his long-term project about the young players who are currently at Madrid but on the other hand sometimes i also don't really like Ancelotti's leadership which is sometimes too monotonous and doesn't care about the shortcomings that occur at the club. Now we will see what he will do especially after extending the contract with his defense which is currently in trouble due to injuries whether he will try to continue to force or look for new player options to replace some players who are still unable to compete due to fitness problems.

I think this is very surprising to many people because the news that he will become coach of the Brazilian national team is spreading very fast and it even seems like it is valid news and there are also many hopes that he will bring change to the Brazilian national team which is considered not very good at the moment. With the certainty that Ancelotti will remain at Real Madrid for the next two seasons, it is pleasant news for Real Madrid because he has proven to be a reliable coach so we will see that Real Madrid will remain in very good condition and it is also a certainty for Xabi Alonso that he will remains at Bayer Leverkusen because his name continues to be linked with Real Madrid to replace Ancelotti.

It happened because some people even people who have interests in Brazil also said quite confidently before that Ancelotti would train the Brazilian National Team so it is not wrong if we thought and impressed that this news was the truth but with the current situation, especially the news that has been valid because Fabrizio and several trusted media have confirmed this, it is certain that this is a truth that cannot be changed again.
Xabi can still leave but his next destination is definitely not Madrid and I still expect him at Leverkusen of course.
The advantage of this for Madrid is that they don't need to be bothered too much with some new adaptations to the new scheme because Ancelotti already knows what he has to do, it's just that maybe in this case Ancelotti should prepare a scout to find players who are suitable to close the gaps in Madrid at this time.

I'm in love with Real Madrid players when it got to do with their performance, it's remarkable and every player plays just like an experienced player. They got everything require and winning have been their top priority. Real Madrid have good news for the fans, the board have succeeded in extending the contract of Carlo Ancelotti and that's one of the golden step to make if they would wished to continuing winning matches. Real Madrid are unshakeable with their present signings and the experienced coaching from the manager, alot of things have been straighten into place.

I am grateful for what has been achieved and what Real Madrid is working towards so far this season. Everything is going according to plan, but I agree that Real Madrid really needs a reliable center forward. We can't expect Bellingham to always be able to help the team win with his goals, I mean he is not a striker even though he is often the decider of wins and good team performances.

The news about Ancelotti extending his contract with Real Madrid until 2026 was welcomed by everyone. He is a great coach who is able to give Real Madrid a lot of hope regarding titles every season, but I hope that Real Madrid management will support Ancelotti's big plans by bringing in a good center forward in the next transfer window.

Since Vitor Roque signed his contract with Barcelona were waiting to see this Brazilian player to play for Barcelona.
Vitor Roque is very young and he has enough time to learn in Barcelona, Vitor Roque can take the place of Robert Lewandoski in Barcelona and shine in this team but first, he needs to sync his playing style and learn more from the older players of the teams.
That's why Barcelona won't put this player under pressure and they are going to give Vitor Roque more time they want to let Vitor Roque learn from Lewandoski while letting him play in some games.

I was assuming Vitor Roque was going to join by next summer just as Endrick will at Real Madrid. Roque is only 18 years old now. But he seems like a talented centre-forward for now. The number of goals he has scored so far is really impressive considering his young age. Barcelona signed him for only 40 million euros which could be a very profitable deal.

It is all up to Roque's adaptation level. If he does well with European football then Barcelona can benefit from his finishing skills and help him improve himself much more in the meantime.

I hope Vitor Roque is a useful signing for Barcelona this season. He is the most talented young player Brazil currently has, but whether or not Roque performs well with Barcelona really depends on how he adapts to his new team. Xavi must give Roque the confidence and opportunity to adapt, but because he is still very young, Roque may have to be patient to get to the stage.

Vitor Roque was basically brought in to provide competition for other strikers who previously did not really have competition for the main place in the squad. So Roque's arrival in the Barcelona squad will automatically have a good impact on other players in giving their best when they get the opportunity. Of course Roque needs time, but I hope he really becomes the next star for Barcelona.

This is good news, Ancelotti is a coach who is extraordinarily competent to train a team like Madrid (He was successful in making Benzema and Vini Junior what they are today) he has a good strategy and also knows how to place players in their positions and the most important thing is that he is very appreciated and respected by the Madrid squad, this is very important because a coach who is hated will only damage the squad's performance.
Even though currently Madrid is at the top of the standings again, they seemed to be struggling against Alaves, even Madrid scored one goal in the 92nd minute. Girona also still has great potential to reclaim the top position, they have never lost so far.

Yes this is great news as it would be a big loss if he left the football stages once and for all one day. I think it would have been interesting to see him take responsibility of the national team of Brazil, but now that he decided to stay with Real Madrid I think it is more beneficial. He also can't let go as it seems. If you have the best job in the world in football and then you become older, I think it is also hard to let go.

I think signing victor Roque is a very good and profitable deal for Barcelona this season as  he's going to serve in a very sensitive position which was vital and very much needed for Barcelona so it was a good deal for Barcelona as they did had a fair deal considering their current financial state which has in a way limited some of the actions the te would want to take.

Lewandoski is no doubt becoming aged and not in the best form to future I'm Barcelona game sand deliver the desired results of him, because the factor of his constraints is such that he can really fight as it's from nature itself which makes it quiet peculiar in his case. So just like you rightly stated, in the mean time victor will not be playing but will be watching around well enough to observe and get used to Barcelona style and patterns of playing then as soon as he starts he would have already gotten used to his new team and would play well enough to fit in the team when he starts playing with them.

Real Madrid management gave the fans the best Christmas gift by extending extending the contract of Carlo Ancelotti at the club to the summer of 2026. The Italian manager have been very instrumental to the club's success in recent years as he has used his managerial experience to bring solutions to some of the tactical issues at the club.
After Karim Benzema left the club last summer, the club was without a recognized striker and that raised concerns about Carlo Ancelotti's ability to manage a Madrid team without a striker but he's been able to efficiently manage the team by converting Jude Bellingham who was known as a central midfielder at Borussia Dortmund to become a false 9 and that decision has worked well for the club

[ginsan]

If the renewal of his contract at Real Madrid if as true as you have stated then he will definitely not have a contract at Brazil again because he can't be coaching two teams at same time, earlier there were speculations to the point it sound like it was a done deal about ancelotti moving to the Brazilian team and that's why it's such great news about his contract renewal.

The Brazilian team will really be disappointed this deal couldn't pull through as there were expectations which were accorded the arrival of ancelotti but with this disappointment they will have to probably look into another coach and there will be change of expectations aswell. I feel since Xabi who was Madrids biggest coaching prospect was not willing to leave Leverkusen at the moment they have to conform with ancelotti extending his contract.

Ancelotti is more comfortable with Real Madrid and he also has a fairly good relationship with the players and Real Madrid management so that the new contract extension that Ancelotti has agreed to is really appreciated by the fans. Ancelotti is a genius coach so Real madrid will not let go of Ancelotti anytime soon and I think Real madrid has big targets with Ancelotti this season.

Yes, with Ancelotti staying with Real Madrid, we will see Ancelotti performance in this winter transfer window in recruiting players who can help him win the UCL trophy this season. Let's see if Ancelotti will try to get a good quality striker this season. Will Ancelotti approach Mbappe again in this winter's transfer window because if we look at this season, Real Madrid needs a main striker as a viable gap for them to fix.

Lewandowski is a difficult topic for Barcelona right now as on the one hand I think they wish he could perform outstandingly for maybe one or two seasons more until they really have a world class striker to substitute him. On the other hand the ties are getting loser between the player and the club as there have also been first arguments between Xavi and him and I think if Lewandowski doesn't score a lot of goals in the next few weeks, these cracks in their relationship will only get deeper and everything will get worse. I don't think they have a bright future together.

[GiftedMAN]

It seems Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he is going to stay there.
SIcne we heard any news about Brazil trying to hire Carlo Ancelotti for their team and use this coach in the 2026 World Cup, but he extended his contract with Real Madrid to prove he prefers to continue his career in Real Madrid and he prefers to stay there.
Carlo Ancelotti's new contract will expire in 2026 and this coach wants to achieve even more titles with Real Madrid.

After this news became official, our speculation regarding Carlo Ancelotti replacement was buried. By extending it until 2026, of course we won't worry about how Madrid will go through the regeneration process. Carlo Ancelotti still wants to guard Madrid young players until they are truly comfortable at the club. In my opinion, this is the right and profitable decision, especially as he can continue to monitor the development of Bellingham and Arda Guller well according to the initial plan. Ancelotti and Perez don't want their togetherness to end, after all, Madrid really suits Ancelotti's hands.

The biggest news in the transfer market right now is Carlo Ancelotti's contract extension at Real Madrid. As far as I know Carlo Ancelotti has extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2025 which means we heard rumors in the past that Carlo Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid for Brazil but that rumor may not be true. But one thing I don't understand is how to extend the contract with another club when you already have a contract with one team. However, if Carlo Ancelotti has indeed extended his contract with Real Madrid, Brazil are going to miss out on a great opportunity to play under Carlo Ancelotti.

First time when I read about the news I thought it was a rumor since the information has been on going that Ancelotti is going to be the next coach of the Brazilian team but when the news of his contract extension came up, I wasn't surprised because he's been a great manger so far working with the Real Madrid team and his relationship with the players has been great to since he's helped the team to get back to it's lost glory having gathered a group of young players in the team which in turn will see him and the boys grow together as they keep working to achieve more trophies. Ancelotti is a good coach and he deserves whatever he's getting right now as a great manager.

I don't think they have a bright future together.

I personally think Lewandowski will be released this season to the Saudi Pro League the reason Lewandowski is no longer reliable and his contribution to the team has been low this season so it was the right choice to let him move, especially since the Saudi Pro club was willing to pay a high price to bring him in. Previously I checked the top scorer list and didn't see Lewandowski name so I assume he is no longer able to compete, Barcelona should realize that there is nothing more they can expect from this 35 year old man.

The signing of Victor Roque of you ask me is a very good idea and a great deal for Barcelona considering their current options in the striking role at the club. Robert Lewandowski who's playing in his second season at the club was instrumental to the club's Spanish La Liga triumph last season but since the start of the season, he hasn't been as effective as he was in his first season at the club.

Lewandowski has suffered injuries in recent months that's limited his playing time at the club and considering his current age, it's obvious that he can't be productive as he used to be and that's it's a good move to sign a young striker who can learn from him in the second half of the season and replace him when he eventually leaves the club next summer

Ok I won't say that Lewandowski won't go to the Saudi Professional League, but from what I understood last time when he was approached by a club from Saudi Arabia is that he doesn't want to go to that country and play there. Now money can change his opinion, but I am sure the offer he received last time must have been huge if we take into account that Benzema also got such an amazing offer. He has two little girls as children and maybe he isn't the kind of guy to go there? That's an interesting question though.

Ancelotti is a good coach and he deserves whatever he's getting right now as a great manager.

It is clear that Ancelotti deserves to extend his contract at Madrid. He may still be worried if he leaves this club in very unconvincing conditions, meaning there is still no stability in the attack line. Apart from that, not having a replacement for Benzema as the main striker means Ancelotti needs to ensure Madrid has the right striker and Ancelotti needs a few more seasons. I'm also not surprised because only Ancelotti knows exactly what the club needs right now. If he leaves in a hurry, Madrid's performance could become increasingly inconsistent. There are not many coaches who are suitable to handle a club as big as Madrid, it is very difficult to find a replacement for Ancelotti who has managed this club very well for many years.

Lewandowski has not always been in consistent form this season, he has even been criticized by Xavi himself. So it is not surprising that Barcelona is now starting to distrust his services at the club. In my opinion, Lewandowski should leave immediately and let this club be run by young players. Moreover, the club's financial condition can no longer guarantee anything to pay players. Saudi Arabia has become Lewandowski place because at his age his services can still be utilized there.

[FanEagle]

I really did not expected Ancelotti to have something that would keep him there for a long time. I honestly expected him to go to Brazil at the end of the season, the fact that he is staying until 2026 is a big deal.

This also means that he is going to be able to play with the team that he basically built, obviously most of the players there were there before him, but a lot of them did gained a lot of time when he was there, mainly the young players. Was Rodrygo good before him? Of course, but not played this much, and plenty of other midfielders too. All in all I am expecting them to do very well under his management, they have done great so far and I think it's quite expectable that they will do very well until 2026 with him too.

He has never really been at the top level he used to be when he still played for Bayern Munich. Last season he was doing alright, but remember how many goals he scored for Bayern and then I am sure Barcelona was hoping for a striker who is similar to what Harry Kane is doing for Bayern now. But Lewandowski won't get to that level. He is not the only one to blame though as I think that the Barcelona team is not strong enough. They are not a 10/10 team, they are more like a 7.5/10 team. Of course strikers have a harder time then.

However the team conditions are different, and so are the strategies used by the coach. he may be very productive in Munich with strong team support. and in Barcelona, there are still deficiencies in other positions that interfere with support for strikers in scoring goals.
Lewandowski will be let go by Barcelona I think. That's also because there are rumors that Lewandowski is asking for a salary increase. which I think must be adjusted to improve performance.
If Xavi finds another alternative in the transfer market, Barca may release Lewandowski.
