La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

It's the duty of the coach to know as much a s possible as he can before agreeing to take up a job with any team at any time. Barcelona's new coach must have known about all these and the fact that he can do only little or nothing about the financial situation of the team and that will be a guide to helping him with signing and how to go about getting new players such that it's not burned some on the team. Implementation of his own strategy and playing pattern will be within him and the players, finding a way around that is something he's good to find a way around els he will not be able to get results.

It will be a new challenge for Hansi Flick when he receives an offer from Barcelona, ​​he certainly knows the current condition of Barcelona which is being hit by a financial crisis. Hansi Flick sees the problems facing Barcelona from a different perspective, perhaps he feels challenged by the conditions Barcelona is currently facing. He believes he can improve Barcelona quality with the talented young players he currently has, but he also needs some new faces to shore up the gaps in the squad he leads.

Hansi Flick experience with Bayern Munich and the German national team will make it easier for him to organize strategies in the Barcelona squad. He is also an accomplished coach and very skilled at polishing young players into big stars. I think that currently Barcelona is in good hands, Laporta also really believes in Flick abilities and is ready to seek funds to realize his request to bring in new players.

[tottong]

What you say is true, but you should not forget that the root of all the problems currently faced by Barcelona is none other than financial, when previously Barcelona had strong finances, doesn't they have become a team that had the same quality and strength as Madrid at that time, however, Barcelona financial problems ultimately made the gap between Barcelona and Madrid now very wide, as a person who is unfamiliar with financial matters, of course I think that all of Barcelona problems will automatically be resolved if they can solve their one core problem at this time , finance..!

Financial problems are quite a big obstacle for Barcelona, but they have quality players who can compete with other teams.
The coach also influences the success of the team and currently Barcelona has not found a replacement for Pep Guardiola.
Financial problems have an effect on recruiting inappropriate players and coaches which also has a very fatal effect.
Regarding competition with Real Madrid, it is indeed difficult because currently Barcelona does not have the ability to match the quality of players that Real Madrid has.

Barcelona must find a way to solve this problem because if they cannot solve it, it will be increasingly difficult for them to compete for the title.
The presence of several other clubs that are already so strong will make Barcelona even further behind and they will lose the opportunity to compete for the La Liga title in the coming season.

He is also an accomplished coach and very skilled at polishing young players into big stars. I think that currently Barcelona is in good hands, Laporta also really believes in Flick abilities and is ready to seek funds to realize his request to bring in new players.

Such things can indeed happen but on the other hand we must also be aware that ultimately for the start of the season our expectations should not be greater because this will be important to make a team or a new coach show his performance including for Flick at this time.

Flick does have experience but in the end this will also be difficult for Flick if he does not have good communication and Enrique and Koeman should be an example where coaches who have experience but do not have good communication in the end it is also a problem.

Now our expectations have to be lowered a little because after all even though Flick's experience is quite large at the moment but we have yet to see the players he will put into Barcelona's plans next season, what schemes they might set and how they perform at the beginning of the season because I think this will clearly determine their steps at the end of the season or at least make the expectations we expect to match the performance shown.

[Hirose UK]

Do you agree if Ansu Fati moves to Sevilla?

I do, why not?. As long as sevilla sent lucrative offer for ansu fati, and better for barcelona to sell him. Ansu's fate has gone from something to nothing. It's time for Barcelona to sell him and use the money to buy a talented player.

Ansu Fati last season playing with Barcelona was very unsatisfactory and he didn't have many matches to participate in because Xavi really made Ansu Fati mostly on the bench until in the end he had to go to play with Brighton on loan.
But before actually joining Brighton, many teams were targeting him and even made several offers until in the end he decided to choose Brighton, only that Brighton also showed that Ansu Fati couldn't play well.

Ansu Fati is still very young and he has quite good potential in the future, if he can join the right team then the opportunity to improve his performance and support his career will definitely be easier to get, but there are several things that make it difficult to leave Barcelona.
Indeed, previously Ansu Fati was almost sold again or loaned out after Brighton loan contract expired, but in the end Barcelona new coach Hansi Flick decided not to include him on the player sales list and of course Hansi Flick wants to see how Ansu Fati plays with Barcelona next season.
But this cannot really be guaranteed because there will definitely be unexpected changes if Barcelona really needs some money, we see whether Ansu Fati will be sold or not, but Sevilla is also not team that seems worthy of Ansu Fati.

And that there is the big issue because already the team is in deep financial dept and you as a coach coming to new club you will definitely need to access the signing of new players and some youngsters even to be able to actually implement your own style and way of playing and for Barcelona that's a really big task and this particular issue is what I think will draw Barcelona backyard.

As Barcelona are now in financial crisis. So we know they won't be able to sign any new star players. Hansi Flick will certainly have to work with Barcelona's current squad.

I wouldn't call Barcelona's current squad weak. There is no dearth of talented players in the squad. Lack of experienced players. And I think a coach like Hansi Flick is able to help the players improve their experience. Barcelona's attacking young players Ansu Fati, Torres, Raphinha, Vitor Roque and Yamal are all promising players. If Hansi Flick can develop these 5 players as experienced, then Barcelona will benefit greatly. Even by selling players, Barcelona will be able to solve most of their financial problems.

However, all their greatness will be meaningless if their abilities are used in the wrong position by their own coach, so we all need to see how Barcelona's new coach manages every player who is already in the Barcelona squad next season when they want to compete with any rival, including with Real Madrid. Because Barcelona needs to find a more effective solution by not complaining more about their own financial condition.

It is true that many do not have confidence in Hansi Flick in managing Barcelona next season. There are many pros and cons in appointing Hansi Flick to replace  making Barcelona unable to fulfill it, even though Barcelona doesn't want to waste too much money to cut Barcelona's expenses for next season, at least we can give full confidence to Hansi Flick in handling Barcelona next season. In pre-season, we can find out Hansi Flick's true performance in continuing  Xavi's performance failed to bring Barcelona to the title last season.

[Velvet78]

Xavi has less couching experience when he arrived at Barcelona but things at then were not as disorganized as it is now. The present situation in Barcelona is going to give Hansi a sleepless nights before he could be able to put things into order. The financial crisis inherited from the previous management will deprive him of having the right players he needs to work with.

There is a big experience gap between Xavi and Hansi Flick. But Xavi did pretty good things despite that. He won a La Liga title once. Yeah maybe the previous season didn't go well but I can't just overlook his success anyway.

I believe in Xavi to be a really competent manager in time. He just needs to gain more experience with European teams if possible. I don't want him to waste his time with Qatari or Saudi Arabian teams. I know they would pay a lot more but this wouldn't be great for his career at the same time. 

Competing with Madrid? Perhaps, in the next two to three seasons we may see something like that again but definitely not this coming season judging from situation of both teams at the moment. The excitement of El Classico has been diminished long before now and worsen since the exit of Ronaldo and Messi.

To compete with Real Madrid at the same level, Barcelona needs transfers. As big as possible too. Because Real Madrid has built an insane squad. With Mbappe's joining the team too I don't know how they can be stopped. The only way for Barcelona to keep up with them is to answer them in the same way. 

[rendravolt]

Joao Felix still wants to play for Barcelona but the agreement with his home club, Atletico, is still unclear at this time. Meanwhile his status is as an Atletico player and perhaps everything will be determined when the transfer window ends on the final day. I think, however, Joao Felix is ​​the player that Barcelona needs at the moment, but Barcelona also can't make up his mind because he is constrained by his permanent costs.

If only Barcelona were in their financial glory days they would definitely pay the transfer fee from Atletico and now only proper negotiations can save them from getting Joao Felix back. The love of players cannot even be expressed in words, so Barcelona must be able to do their best so that Joao Felix's path to the Blaugrana can go well. If in the end Joao Felix can't return to Barcelona, ​​I think he will be very stressed about being back at Atletico starting next season.

I also don't think sacking the coach will improve the situation for Barcelona. Xavi was a good enough coach. However, Xavi's experience was somewhat lacking. But at the moment, Barcelona boss Joan Laporta should strengthen the financial aspects of Barcelona. Barcelona are in a financial crisis. And we don't know when this crisis will end. It will be difficult for Barcelona to build a strong squad unless the financial crisis is resolved.

We can't claim this now. Let's wait for the seasons starts and see how good the new coach can manage Barcelona. If the new coach can improve Barcelona performance, it is proven that changing the coach makes Barcelona better. But if there is no improvement, we can claim changing the coach is useless. Just don't judge too early, buddy! 
Yes, Barcelona experienced a severe financial crisis. If Laporta can't get the solution, the crisis will last a long time. I don't know what the idea made by Laporta and club management to deal with the financial crisis.

We don't know if Hansi Flick can succeed with Barcelona. But we know Hansi Flick is more experienced than Xavi. Previously he coached big teams like Bayern Munich. Hansi Flick is also experienced in a competitive platform like the Champions League. And that's why fans are expecting Hansi Flick to further improve Barcelona's overall performance. But I would say everything will depend on Barcelona's young players. Young players need to be more diligent. Then maybe we will see a better performance from Barcelona.

Barcelona get a lot of young talent from La Masia. And right now I think the only one who can save Barcelona is La masia. If Barcelona can find talented players from La Masia then Barcelona will not have to spend a lot of money to buy players. And little by little, Barcelona could become stronger again.

Barcelona always get many young talented players from their academy. It is good for the future of the team, they will have many young players for the future of Barcelona. However, this won't work well for the short term goal, they may fail again to win the trophy in the next 1-2 seasons. If Barcelona wants to win the trophy again soon, they must sign experienced players. Sadly, this requires a lot of money!

Barcelona have received plenty of young talent from La Masia in the past. This is why Barcelona saved a lot of money. But these young players need 2/3 seasons to experience. Can't expect good performance from young players too soon. I think Barcelona need 2 seasons to transform the current squad into a strong team.

I watched Xavi Hernandez maybe for a couple seasons before retirement and I felt like knowing the DNA of the club, he would be another Josep Pep Guardiola.
He did have a great first season but wasn't able to win the La Liga, made the most out of his second season as he dominated both the Copa del Rey and also the La Liga Competition. I don't think he is at the level, or the same levels with Hansi Flick. Hansi Flick is tested, approved and trusted, though, Xavi Hernandez wasn't backed due to financial woes but then, I feel like Hansi would do much better. I'm tipping him to win Catalians the Champions League Competition in two to three years ahead.

Joao Felix still wants to play for Barcelona but the agreement with his home club, Atletico, is still unclear at this time.

Will this even be possible? They have Ferran Torres fighting to be retained and also for the spot, secondly would be Ansu Fati, he'll eith be returning or sent out on loan again or for a final move outta the club Barcelona so they can raise necessary funds for the vital players they want.
How about the move for Nico Williams to Barcelona? It's seems like they're much more interested in the move for this guy because he is far more creativity and young. He will obviously bring a whole lot into that Barcelona squad.

I would love Joào Felix back but, Barcelona doesn't have the finance to bring him back. How about the coach? I don't even know if he considers the player as an important part of his squad prior to the new season. I think these are the deciding factors if he can return or not.

Currently, Barcelona are returning players who they had previously loaned to other clubs, so currently Hansi Flick has many options to optimize their squad for next season, Ansu Pati, Pablo Torre, Alex Valle, Julian Araujo, Clement Lenglet and Eric Garcia have been confirmed as returning to the Barcelona squad this season, in current financial conditions, Barcelona should be able to utilize their resources well so that they can minimize expenditure on recruiting players, reportedly, currently Barcelona is starting to target Nico Williams to be recruited to strengthen their left wing next season, we admit that Nico Williams is a good player and of course will strengthen Barcelona attack line for the better, but instead of wasting quite a lot of money to get him, wouldn't it be better to plot Ansu Fati in the left wing position because he also plays with good  in left wing so far, Barcelona has critical finances and to anticipate the emergence of many financial problems in the future of course they should be able to optimize the available academy players today.

 I think it is time for Barcelona to realize that they are no longer a club that has strong enough finances to compete for star players, and about Joao Felix, he is ​​one of the loan players who has been able to have a lot of positive impact on Barcelona so far, but reportedly Barcelona is not interested in making him permanent because of the high price currently being asked by Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona won't definitely want to lose joao felix,although Xavi didn't use him that much and that  was what I don't really like about xavi ( his choices  and combinations are absurd sometimes) apart from that I like everything about xavi even if he's not experience enough  
Hansi Flick needs Joao felix on his team  i think he did made mention of it so the club needs to get him at all cost, besides he can't make much progress going back to Atletico due to what he had done   in Barcelona  against his real team, they just gonna turn him into a bench warmer

Joao Felix doesn't feel at home at Atletico Madrid because he is at odds with coach Diego Simeone and at Barcelona he can get the main place so of course Joao Felix still wants to stay at Barcelona.
However, the problem is that currently Atletico Madrid is planning to sell Joao Felix while the Barcelona team does not have enough money to carry out the transfer, this is quite confusing and there are parties who are at a loss of course because this is between Joao Felix and the Atletico Madrid team.

And I think returning to Atletico Madrid is also impossible, because the team doesn't want Joao Felix anymore.
If Barcelona is not willing to buy Joao Felix, maybe another team will do that because Joao Felix's quality is still quite good and he is still quite young.

[Lannakosa]

Barcelona players currently only need a coach who is able to guide them in a better direction because there are many great players in Barcelona currently.

Flick got a very good team, he doesn’t need to start over, put something together piece by piece to get a result, he already has a good team after Xavi, so it will be easier for him to start, but the final result will depend on the strategy he will use, and the decisions which he will take during the game. He also has experience managing large teams, so he can achieve good results, he has almost everything necessary for this. And if he holds out well in the first season, then he will be able to get the opportunity for new transfers.

João Felix and João Cancelo want to return to Barcelona, but the club is not financially strong enough to retain them. João Felix can get his place in Atletico Madrid starting lineup, since several players are expected to leave before the new season starts. Barcelona did not know which important players to keep to improve their performance, however, they wanted to let these outstanding players leave the club due to financial reasons. I believe that without Felix and Cancelo, Barcelona wouldn't have finished second last season, It will be difficult for both players to get their positions in their main club, most especially Cancelo with the current Manchester City squad.

I was surprised when Barcelona announced that they would let the players return to their respective clubs as if they had players available to improve the team. Let's see what happens after the EURO games because it would be great for Barcelona if they bring these players back to the club since they were performing badly.

Barcelona has enough young players that must be developed, Flick's job is to be able to make these young Barcelona players into brilliant talented players so that they can become key players for Barcelona. They will not be able to experience changes in the game for the better if the players and coaches cannot adapt well. Apart from that, what you say is true, they will not find the best if there is an understanding that cannot be understood well, that is the importance of adapting to each other, even though Barcelona is having difficulties in players because of their financial problems which are an obstacle, they must be able to develop as long as the tactics implemented by them This flick is effective and can make Barcelona recover.

To be honest, Barcelona should be able to rise from their downturn, even though they are not that bad, they need to change for the better in the next season, to compete fiercely again and become Real Madrid's rivals again.

And if he holds out well in the first season, then he will be able to get the opportunity for new transfers.

However, in my opinion, the role of management is also very important to determine whether a coach's strategy will work or not, because coaches must also get full support from management to carry out what they want to implement, including the players' needs according to their wishes. And at the moment, I don't think Barcelona is able to fulfill all the needs that the coach wants. Things like this can also sometimes be an obstacle for coaches.

The composition of players they have can be said to be the composition of players that should be enough to enable them to compete, but in the end it depends on whether they can be utilized well or not. The reason is that previously they had a player composition that was not much different, but they still failed, especially when Koeman was leading the Barcelona squad. This is still a question for me, because we haven't seen how far Flick can bring good changes to Barcelona.

[piebeyb]

To be honest, Barcelona should be able to rise from their downturn, even though they are not that bad, they need to change for the better in the next season, to compete fiercely again and become Real Madrid's rivals again.

Hansi Flick will continue Xavi's legacy including from the current situation it seems he is confident in utilizing young players who will be added to the main squad, it seems they also don't have enough money to recruit new players because the financial crisis they are facing has not ended yet. , they could do this by recruiting new players at the expense of Yamal being bought by PSG at a high price, but it seems that Hansi Flick will still retain Yamal and of course he has prepared strategies and tactics to be able to compete with rivals, namely Madrid, next season. It looks like this will be interesting later where Barcelona will of course play a different game than before when Xavi served as coach. 

[Weawant]

Benfica is willing to offer €32.5m euro to get joão Felix, Aston villa on the other hand is also considering a bid on Felix too, all of which Barcelona appears in matching on any of these offers, it most likely Barcelona may be loosing Felix except they get to make a better offer or he's been offered fro a loan by his team again of which I don't believe such deal will happen again, he potential is now made very clear to every team.

Aston villa I think will be a much better place for Felix If they eventually secure the deal and get him to be on their side, benfica wouldn't be a bad side but may not get to provide him with the kind of exposure that will really help his career well enough beyond the point it is already. Looking at Barcelona, they would love to retain him as they have seen how much of importance he could be to their team.
