Maybe Real would have to sell Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

That won't happen because both players are Perez's favorites.. as long as Perez takes the role of keeping both players, there is no decision that Real Madrid will sell both or one of them. because even though many say that the two players are not compatible, Perez has a different view which is to keep them together, not only in terms of their performance as players but their market value that can bring benefits to the team. so hoping that Mbappe and Vinicius will be sold at this time seems like a pretty impossible thing.

I agree, Real Madrid shortcomings lie in defense and midfield, the loss of Toni Kroos and Modric is very pronounced, only Bellingham can be relied on as a midfielder but that is not enough because there must be equally good teammates, Arda, and especially Camavinga cannot always be consistent, in defense the big names who inhabit that line are now in decline, TAA is still struggling, Rudiger is too old and other players are often injured. Perez has a lot to do despite bringing in Mourinho, because it's not just the dressing room that needs fixing.

Real madrid have a lot of talented and experienced players  in their defence. Even then, if Madrid's defense is weak, it is because of their  tactical mistakes. Madrid management also bought two  defenders last season. Madrid had to spend a huge amount to buy Huijsen.

Madrid's midfield is somewhat weak. Madrid are yet to find  replacements for modirch and toni cross in particular. Madrid's midfield needs  to be strengthened. If the midfield  is stable, maybe the defense and attack will also be stronger.

From his tenure at Porto, to the time he went t United, anything in between that was decent, at United he was not terrible but was not good but that is when the slowing down started. After that, he just failed time after time after time. Yeah winning conference league is something, but seriously not a big deal when you think how terrible he was at the league and why he got fired.

Like everything, you live in phases, and not to be underestimated, in addition to a phase of great success and professional decline, the teams you coach must also match your style.
Everything has to fit together perfectly or almost perfectly to make things go as they should, an example is Real Madrid, a great team but management problems slow down its performance.

I was about to talk about Real Madrid poor midfield before I saw want you wrote below. Of course, what do you expect from a strong defense when the midfield is weak and being controlled by their opponents. That will put much attacking pressure on Real Madrid defense and that's why you see that they couldn't be able to overtake Barcelona and maintain the first position because they gat no good midfielders. If only they can fill up the vacuum, they will be unstoppable next season.

Despite falling behind in a tough match, Almería managed to win the game and reach the final. Almeria went into the break leading 1-0 thanks to a goal scored towards the end of the first half, but found themselves 2-1 down by the 70th minute of the second half. Refusing to let up in their attack after falling behind, Almeria defeated their opponents 3-2 with two goals in the final 10 minutes, becoming the first team to reach the final with an aggregate score of 4-3.

it has many players, I would dare say too many
In my opinion he needs to decide a little bit what he wants to do in life, it doesn't make sense to keep too many talents and then let them rot on the bench
Rightly so, these guys start going crazy and then fight in the locker room.
It doesn't make sense in my opinion, and the results don't come

Almeria's opponent in the final for promotion to La Liga most likely will be Malaga who beat Las Palmas 1-0 in the first leg. earlier Racing Santander and Deportivo La Coruna have secured direct promotion to La Liga. I would like to see Malaga join them as the club hasn't been in La Liga for almost 10 years. but the potential final against Almeria will be very difficult for Malaga.

According to Fabrizio this morning, he reported that Barcelona has ran out of funds for the renovation of the Spotify Camp Nou, remember that Barcelona kind of leased their stadium naming rights to Spotify for a couple of years for the company's name to be injected into the stadium name and after that the stadium name added Spotify to it's name instead of the usual Camp Nou that we knew before. The project according to the president was going to cost around €1.4 billion but as we all know, big constructions like this can actually cost more more than the initial price proposed and most importantly, inflation plays another major role in increment of prices. So the president is seeking for extra funds to complete the project, since stuffs like this are being mentioned online, you will see comments of various sorts and I couldn't help but read and laugh at most of them.

I know that Barcelona are still not financially stable for now but with time everything will be fine, some people are saying the reason why Barcelona are in this financial crisis is because of Lionel Messi, that because they wanted to keep him they paid him huge salaries and bonuses that was not okay for their financial system but one thing people fail to understand is that Lionel Messi also brought a lot of money to Barcelona, because of him a lot of people were always coming to watch Barcelona and they also made huge profits from selling his shirts and other things.
As for me paying Lionel Messi was not the reason Barcelona got broke it was lack of management.

If the president manage Barcelona very well which his doing they will come out from this financial crisis, they will surely complete the renovation.

The renovation will be completed no doubt there but it will put the club in a tighter corner, they will definitely need to borrow or sell some certain rights of the club which they never wanted. Just like if one had told Barcelona fans some 15 years ago that their team will have financial difficulties that to pay their payers will be a major problem, no one will agree, it's so bad that Barcelona had to sell part of their stadium naming rights for a certain period of time. Coming to the angle of them trying to keep Messi, the management didn't approach it properly, for Messi, he took didn't really have his team at heart. The problem started with constant renewal, we all know that renewals comes with higher pay. If he so much loved Barcelona, he wouldn't have put them in that situation of almost renewing his contracts, almost every 2 - 3 years. Barcelona will come out from this problem no doubt, but it will take a genius management to resolve it withjn a short period of time, if not this can linger even till the next decade or beyond.

Signing Dean Huijsen is not a bad idea but Real Madrid management did not know how to build a team and have a good squad debt, Real Madrid don’t have players who can replace the other starter that got injured and that is why they failed to win a trophy since last two seasons, Real Madrid brought Alonso to do that but he failed because he think the players are good enough to win a trophy but at the end he got sacked, what Arbeloa and Alonso failed to do is what Jose Mourinho is about to do and that is strengthening the defense.

Mourinho is going to build a good defense in Real Madrid and if he make that happen the team performance will change, many people believe that midfield is the only problem but if Real Madrid defense is good they will not be conceding many goals even when they are leading, Real Madrid also need to sell some players like Ceballos, camavinga and other players that are not good to play for the team if not they will still struggle to win a game of their important players get injured.

Mourinho will have to end the conflict between Chuameni and Valverde and he also has to make Mbappe a team player. I've always thought that Mourinho is a pretty authoritarian coach/manager, who doesn't get along with players, who aren't obedient. Maybe he changed and gathered wisdom during the last 9 years, since his miserable failure in Chelsea. What I don't like about Real Madrid is Florentino Perez wanting to spend yet another gazillion euro for new players. Real has the best players in the world, but they don't have any discipline inside the squad. Mourinho is supposed to solve this, but I have doubts. Maybe Real would have to sell Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

The alteration between Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde have been handled and I think they are fine now. But it seems Jose Mourinho doesn't want Tchouaméni in Madrid. He was part of the list that was published (although I didn't confirm the source of the information), which contained players that the Portuguese tactician wanted to leave. So if this news is correct, the conflict between the two players has been solved permanently.

Mbappe and Vinicius are not in the list of players that are not in the Special One's plans for the Spanish powerhouse. These two players are important and would be allowed to remain, while Rodrigo would have to leave.

The performance of a team is very important in the midfield. Because of the midfield, both the defense and the attack are affected, if the midfield is strong, the attack is also strong and the defense can also perform strongly. But if the midfield is weak, both departments become weak. Especially the defense is under the most pressure.

One of the biggest problems of Real Madrid is the midfield, because of which the defense line is not able to perform well. The selfishness of the players is behind the bad play of the attack line. In the upcoming season, Real Madrid will have to sign a good CMF and create good relationships between the players, only then will Real Madrid be able to find its form. They may even look for a DMF.

Yesterday, Almería managed to reach the final, and I think an even more important match awaits us today.
Málaga managed to take the lead by winning the first leg away 1–0. If they avoid defeat at home in the second leg, they will be the other team to reach the final. I don’t think Malaga will lose at home to Las Palmas; in fact, I believe they are the favourites for this match. It looks as though we will be watching a Malaga v Almeria final. In the final, Malaga will eliminate their opponent and return to La Liga.

I would like to see Malaga join them as the club hasn't been in La Liga for almost 10 years. but the potential final against Almeria will be very difficult for Malaga.

Malaga will most likely meet Almeria in the final, they won on aggregate by 1 goal, besides they will also play at home, all the advantages are already on Malaga's side at this time. They just need to make the most of what they have now to truly meet Almeria.

AFAIK, there's no significant difference in strength between Almeria & Malaga. So, if they do meet in the final, it'll be a tense encounter for both teams. When I posted this, Malaga was playing their match, we'll see what they can do until the end of the match.

Absolutely. Real Madrid doesn't lack players there's plenty of talent on the bench, but the coach doesn't dare play them. This lack of trust in the players is what makes it seem like Madrid is short of players. This is very different from the Ancelotti era where he was very adept at utilizing his players, even often fielding players who weren't in their natural positions.

Now that Madrid will be coached by Real Madrid and several new players will be brought in, I don't think there's any excuse for the coach to be short of players. Therefore, it's the coach job to harness the potential of each player and even explore their unique skills. In the Xabi Alanso and Arbeloa eras, they weren't decisive when players were withdrawn or left out creating tensions that ultimately impacted the dressing room.

[LUCKMCFLY]

So this true that if France didn't won World Cup then definitely they put all blam on Killyan Mbappe because they understand that star player can do everything and if he didn't delivered then blame him like he could have won the match but he didn't even make the effort or blah blah blah.

Mbappe is just a player who plays very well. It's obvious that all the attention and responsibility will be given to him when his club and national team have a bad game, but that's not how it works. For him to shine, the whole team has to play for him and he has to be the one scoring the goals. The problem isn't him, it's the whole team, and from what I've seen, the Real Madrid dressing room was against him.

If they Goes To Bid Alvaraz to 150 million.  1 player should leave madrid.  Rather it will be Mbappe or Vini or it's will be Rodrigo or Bellingham but one player is guarantee to leave . The reason is clear one will go out and one will be in the squad.  And one thing if Mourhrino really want to change madrid dressing room ego problem. 1 of the player can leave the squad to solve the issue . And it look realistic because Perez bring Mourhrino to madrid just to solve the ego issues none of the manager can solve is it is xabi Alonso or it is Arbeloa.

You seem to be following the second division closely. Just a little qualestion though what's the point of the Final and semi-finals? Algeria point doesn't look like it can overthrow Coruna from the second place on the table .  I'm  I interpreting it wrongly? The way I  read the points, I can see Sporting and Deportivo already beign promoted to Lalig. What's the point of the Semi-Finals again ?

The problem isn't him, it's the whole team, and from what I've seen, the Real Madrid dressing room was against him.

Mbappe already knows that he's an important player in the national team and as one of the best player there it's important for him to know that all eyes will always be on him if the national team does not perform well even though he scored in the game. The France players should be blamed for having a bad game and all the players should take responsibility for the outcome of their games, Mbappe is just one player he will not perform well when the  other players are not performing well.

Facts, Vinicius and Mbappe are going no where, I don't even know what they will use to justify the sales of this two astonishing players if they even manage to think of selling them because they have been playing good, and dropping numbers. Imagine selling Mbappe with 40+ goals and assists in 42 appearances because I doesn't match energy with Vinicius, that's really absurd

I don't think its good option selling any of this players, they are one of the best and key players in Real Madris squad. Although I heard a rumor saying they will sell of this players even though I cant't really say which one of them among the two stars. I honestly think they should just keel this two players, ahead of coming season to see what will happen.

Real Madrid have gotten new manager and for that they need to keep this players, maybe its was due to experience manager that is why we didnt see the good side of Mbappe for last two seasons, that things have getting bad for Real Madris.
