La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[moneystery]

For me Mourinho doesnt want young players, he knows they are troublefull they dont follow the directives of the coach and if you have a lot of them in the team they are gonna start to make jokes and stupid things in the dressroom, so for that Mou is buying only oldest players and having a few young stars he need this old guys to form the young before is too late.

I don't think it's about young or old players, but rather that he wants proven players who can deliver quick results for the team, so he brings in experienced players. It might be different if the team's expectations weren't so high, he might recruit young players for long-term development. But management wants quick results, so experienced players naturally become the safest choice for him.
So in this case, Mourinho has taken everything into account, that the club's expectations leave little room for long-term experiments, so he only takes players who are experienced and hungry for trophies.

I don't think there are coaches who can afford to lose someone like Vinicius Jr, who is objectively a very, very strong player, and therefore this highlights one of the club's problems, i.e. purchases made compulsively thinking they have caught the phenomenon, when in reality it doesn't work.

Vinicius is a great player. He has been able  to perform quite well in the Brazilian squad as well. Even before Mbappe came to Madrid, we saw great performances from the Vini-Benzema duo. The bond between these  two was quite strong. As a result, madrid's overall performance was  also quite stable. If mourinho can only solve the problems between Mbappe and Vini, and the  relationship between these two players  improves, then I would say that most of madrid's problems in attack will be solved.

What I appreciate from Madrid now is that they also want to return to the same conditions where they will balance young players and old players at the same time different from before who always focused on developing young players.

On the other hand, it seems that now they need to eliminate or replace some defensive players. Rudi is still very good but he will have a little difficulty with injuries that are always experienced including for Alaba who is not too young anymore.

For Militao I do not know if he will be able to return to good form or not like before. He already felt the ACL and could return to perform in Madrid before but the ACL 2 times was different and I would say he is super power if he can return to perform after 2 times the ACL experienced.

Real Madrid will be doing very well due to all the investments made, i am sure that these players know what they are doing and will do very well lately, it is clear that Mourinho is fully aware that if he makes a mistake he will be the first to pay and will be eliminated immediately without problems.

[len01]

the players that Mourinho has signed are extremely efficient and are what the team was looking for, they are necessary to revive such a team and bring it to a higher level, it is clear that with all this talent they can do well, having the opportunity to play with new players is important for the future.

The question is, is Mourinho skilled enough to foster chemistry between the players?

That's a tough one, as new coaches usually face significant challenges when it comes to developing a strong rapport with the players, and bringing in new players adds to the pressure. If he's skilled enough to manage the squad well, he could be considered the right coach for Madrid. However, if he's been performing poorly in recent matches, I doubt he'll be retained.

So in this case, Mourinho has taken everything into account, that the club's expectations leave little room for long-term experiments, so he only takes players who are experienced and hungry for trophies.

Real Madrid have not been able to do  well for two consecutive seasons. They have not won any titles. We have not  seen a good performance  from Madrid even in El clasico. In such a situation, the  management will naturally expect very quick results.

Madrid's current squad is already very strong. Mourinho is now trying to add  several more  experienced and talented players to the squad. So Madrid's squad will be  even stronger next season. Madrid management is ready to spend a large amount  of money.

Madrid has  already been able to strengthen their defense. Madrid has added Bernardo Silva to the squad to strengthen the  midfield. Now they need a  talented forward in the attack.

[kennycryptoitalia]

Yes, perhaps what you said is true, because basically the defense, midfield, and right wing were weaknesses that Real Madrid had in the past seasons. Because after the departure of their important players like Tony Kroos, Modric, and other defenders made Real Madrid very difficult to find good replacements for the positions vacated by those players. But now it seems that Real Madrid is starting to try to fix all of its weaknesses, but even so, I don't think there is a very strong guarantee that with the arrival of new players Real Madrid's performance will be good.

Because basically besides that, there is an important element that Real Madrid must improve, namely teamwork. Because it cannot be denied that teamwork is really Real Madrid's biggest problem right now. Because if it is not fixed, whoever players Real Madrid brings in, I think the results could not be much different. So, for that reason, Mourinho, as the new coach at Real Madrid, must be able to solve this problem well, so that their performance will be good next season.

Here, in my opinion, Real Madrid must let go of players by raising cash, like Nico Paz for example, and use that money to buy good people. Jose Mourinho will certainly have a list of purchases to make, knowing him he has already made things clear and asked for specific players.

If mourinho can only solve the problems between Mbappe and Vini, and the  relationship between these two players  improves, then I would say that most of madrid's problems in attack will be solved.

Real Madrid's main problem is the deterioration of the relationship between the players. The deterioration of the relationship between Vinicius and Mbappe has hurt Real Madrid the most in attack. If Mourinho is able to improve this relationship, then most of Real Madrid's problems will go away. But the question arises, will Mourinho be able to improve this relationship? Because Mbappe is not that kind of player, he could not do anything good even with Messi and Neymar as teammates. There was also a deterioration in the relationship, despite having the best attack line, PSG could not win the Champions League. So I think the main problem between Vinicius and Mbappe is Mbappe, because Vinicius does not have the previous record that Mbappe has.

The expectation is supposed to be much cause it's Mourinho, a genius coach that knows how to win titles and has done it before with them in the past but he's not a magician so I don't expect that they'll win many trophies in his first season, maybe one would be possible although I'm quite sure that their performance would improve.
 The squad was becoming weak and some players needed to leave, if Mourinho was very okay with what he came to meet he won't had bought the number of experienced players they've bought in the present window, he knows that for his work to be easier the squad requires some changes in certain area which is what he and the management is working hard to achieve.

[pewboy]

everyone is a bit tired of Vinicius, he is a child who grew up with a lot of money, and this makes him very difficult to manage, i don't know what could happen to Real Madrid after this World Cup, there will certainly be a lot of disappointment and these teams will have big problems, all the players haven't made great matches.

I think Vinicius is a player with extraordinary talent, but he thinks a bit too much with his head off the pitch during matches, he looks for excuses to complain rather than staying focused on the match, he is a very good player but i also think he needs to tone down a bit.

Yes, you're right about that; if there's no harmony between the manager and the team management, failure will follow. They need to get results quickly; the squad is already good enough, but something is missing.
Mourinho needs to achieve this; if you can add 2-3 players who are truly ambitious and want to win, the team's quality will instantly improve. That seems to be his goal

[LUCKMCFLY]

World Cup appearances can't always be used as a benchmark when playing for a club. Because players' conditions aren't always the same. A lot of things could happen. Madrid brought in Mourinho so he could manage the stars. So I think players' performance at the club will depend on their coach. But if Madrid's management still thinks players are better than the coach, that will be a big problem. The players still have a chance to prepare after the World Cup. So there's an opportunity to fix the players problems that went badly during the World Cup.

According to what I've heard, things won't be like that, because Mou will have absolute autonomy in the locker room, but it remains to be seen if Florentino will continue to fiercely defend Vinicius Jr. I hope not, otherwise bringing in the Special One was pointless. They should let him work, because otherwise things don't make sense. In light of this, I would say that the most qualified person to manage the locker room at this time is Mou. Bringing order and discipline, ending favoritism, and making them play well is what the club needs.

Real Madrid will be doing very well due to all the investments made, i am sure that these players know what they are doing and will do very well lately, it is clear that Mourinho is fully aware that if he makes a mistake he will be the first to pay and will be eliminated immediately without problems.

Mounrinho is doing everything possible to see that Real Madrid get to the top and win a trophy this coming season, because with the signings  that he made and with experience he had, is enough to give us more confident in winning a trophy this season, we don't know which one, yet but I'm sure Real Madrid will worry by next season so let's wait and see how he is going to start the season.

Mourinho will be in charge of Real Madrid for many matches. All eyes will be on him right now. I think we all know that. We will soon see Real Madrid's high-quality squad and magnificent performance. The World Cup is almost over, and many Real Madrid players will be returning to the team. Jose Mourinho will then accelerate his efforts to achieve his main goals.

They have been struggling recently for two seasons now and they fact that Real Madrid has been trophiless throughout that time is surprising and frustrating that's why the management needs fast results. They can't stay another more season without a trophy and I have so much trust in Mourinho to lead the team to win at least a single trophy. Also the El Classico games will not be as easy as it used to be for Barcelona anymore.

Real Madrid have a strong team but they still have problems in their midfield so if they can improve that department then they should be ready for the season. They have already made some impressive signings so if they can add a player like Olise to their squad they'd be so deadly.

The World Cup is almost over, and many Real Madrid players will be returning to the team. Jose Mourinho will then accelerate his efforts to achieve his main goals.

The special one is here and I would advise everyone to take a seat and enjoy the drive because it's extremely going to be a long one. José Mourinho is Real Madrid manager and he's been trusted with the likes of the fans and Florentino Perez who was very ambitious when it comes to winning trophies. Alot of things have change in Real Madrid, they're no longer the desperate club that's always keen on winning titles and they've been substandard to becoming a team that's now okay without titles, two consecutive years without trophies is absurd for a team like Real Madrid.

I would urge the fans to exercise patience with José Mourinho next season because he knows the system already and have been in Santiago Bernabeu, he knows the roots and the weakness and strength of the team, he will fixed everything because he's the special one.

[dezoel]

Mourinho did wanted new players, Real Madrid wanted new players too, and they got new players. They already made so many transfers and I doubt that they are doing this because they are doing it for the sake of just improving the squad, they are aware of where they are lacking, Mourinho knows it too and the Perez knew it too and that's why they did what they did.

I think it is very important that we realize Mourinho would say one thing and then do another thing, that has been his thing for a long time.

People forget how calculated Mourinho and Perez are when building a squad. They aren't just buying stars for the hype; they target specific gaps, which is why we already see so many clear adjustments in the defense and midfield. And you hit the nail on the head about Jose's mind games. He always plays the media, claiming he is fine with the current roster while pushing hard behind the scenes for more signings. It's classic Mourinho, you can never take his press conferences at face value.

The moment media is against any footballer they will find different means to destroy his career that's has been the case of Vinicious Junior. The guy is a very good player I love his energy and style and I think we the fans should try and appreciate him rather than condemn him because he doesn't want to accept all the racists that has been against him. Players do get angry whenever they see the referee going against them I think that has been his only offense and his dance whenever he scores.

Yes,, that's right. The team's expectations for Mourinho are clearly very high. Real Madrid has been without a trophy for two seasons now,, so they hope to bring in Mourinho so Real Madrid can win at least one trophy next season. That's why Mourinho will undoubtedly choose experienced players to quickly achieve his current goals.

If Mourinho focuses too much on young players,, the team's goals may not be achieved quickly. Even though young players have excellent stamina, if their mentality isn't stable, I think they could disrupt this plan. That's why, with such a large target, Mourinho will certainly choose more experienced players than young players. It's a shortcut to achieving results quickly.

Jose knows Real Madrid's current situation. That's why, instead of making big transfers, Jose Mourinho is focusing on rotation in areas where Real Madrid is lacking. The current Real Madrid squad is already very good, and they don't need huge changes. They have the best players in every position. Many Real Madrid players have won Man of the Match awards at the World Cup. All Jose Mourinho needs to do is get these players to play together in perfect harmony.
