UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Helena Yu]

Leverkusen enjoys their play and build progressively from the back but Liverpool prefers to get the ball straight to the attack from the flanks.Well if Leverkusen gets the UEL and Bundesliga then I think Xabi will go down as their coach of all time and that’ll be a great thing, but definitely there's a possibility of them losing him if that happens cause I'm pretty sure, other top clubs would come running after him an offer he can't reject, especially Real Madrid that's in search of a good replacement for Ancelotti when he leaves their team.

Zidane should become Real Madrid's manager, he's an overrated manager since he brought Real Madrid win Champions League three times in a row. Now Real Madrid weren't in their prime, we need to know how the result when Zidane become a manager again.

Xabi might be leave Leverkusen because he will have an opportunity to train a better team and receive higher salary.

Lens are continuing on their way with the Europa League from now on. They were really impressive in their Champions League group at first. They even beat Arsenal home you know. I started to think about whether they can make it to last 16 as well. But they couldn't do well in the games later on. They at least beat Sevilla the last time to come here.

Freiburg is their opponent now. Freiburg can be a quite tough matchup for them as they are one of the decent teams of the Bundesliga. But they aren't a team that Lens can't eliminate of course. Lens have made a lot of progress in the Ligue 1 recently. If they keep up this performance in the Europa League too then they can get past Freiburg obstacle.

Predicting when the match time is still a bit long seems a little difficult because of course a lot will change, but if it's just a temporary prediction, maybe Rennes could be a strong opponent for Milan, but I never doubt Milan's performance because this club is also very experienced and very it is easy to beat Rennes and I am very confident that Milan can easily beat Rennes.

I agree with you that this playoff match will still belong to AC Milan and Milan has better quality than Rennes, also if we evaluate their performance in their respective domestic leagues it shows that AC Milan is better in terms of ranking where they are in third position standings with four defeats from 17 matches, while Rennes is only ranked 10th in Ligue 1 with 6 defeats from 17 matches, Milan's productivity is also better than their opponent.
Seeing how Milan's position in Serie A seems to have closed the opportunity to catch Inter Milan, it is very possible for Pioli to give all his abilities in this tournament because the opportunity to lift the trophy for AC Milan remains in the European league if they continue to perform well and also the Coppa Italy because the league champions will likely belong to Inter Milan or Juventus this season.

Xabi might be leave Leverkusen because he will have an opportunity to train a better team and receive higher salary.

I once read the news which said that Zidane left Real Madrid not because he was fired but because he felt he was not supported by the club board. Zidane wants to build a medium and long term squad but the club board may not allow Zidane to spend a lot of money so he feels like the club board does not value him. In fact, if Madrid were still coached by Zidane, it is likely that they would be able to become champions league finalists for some time to come.

Even we can't currently talk about anything with rumours are going around with things are going impressive for the Bayer Leverkusen in this season in both Bundesliga and Europa League because he brought amazing success and now having good chance for going at any top club specially Real Madrid is targeting him because most chances we will have Carlos Ancelotti going to end his career here after end of 2024 season even it's also not officially, but things can go either way with who is replacing him it's also not sure but rumours working for the Zidane and Xabi Alonso both.

But, if we have changes in Bayer Leverkusen then surely these could be not good as they need more time for stability and better things which keep them at this level if he kept going here for one or two more seasons then we can expect good future of this club in all events.

Xabi Alonso have no plans to exits Bayer Leverkusen yet, he's still building and have succeeded in carrying Leverkusen to their prime and they're currently top rival for Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title. Perhapes there's rumors fast approaching of Xabi Alonso possible links to Real Madrid, he once played for Los Blancos and he can only fit so well to manage the club. Real Madrid is the best team in the world, they have the quality players, an experience coach that's capable of solving crucial matters and he's not leaving yet, there's still huge job to be done. Zinedine Zidane lifted Real Madrid to become one of the best and successful club in the European world of football. Today Real Madrid happen to be the dream club of most young players and big names also fighting their way through to be represented by the Real Madrid jersey on the pitch.

When zidane did coach Madrid they did have a very good squad, their squad depth was indeed a good one and their strength was nothing compared to others so I will not agree any less if you say they were in their prime then because it's only a team who is in their prime can maintain such records.

Xabi currently hasn't made it known publicly if he for sure have plans on leaving Leverkusen anytime soon so it will be hasty to say that he will be leaving soon, we are very much aware Real Madrid have got an eye on him but then it hasn't been made known if he is interested in the deal and at same time I wouldn't support the opinion they he will do better at Madrid because it's possible he gets there and the condition isn't favourable for him to perform optimally and he may fail as this has been a similar case with a few good coach years back, if xabi is able to train Leverkusen to qualify for UCL he can aswell have a chances of lifting the trophy too.

I think Milan being favorites for bookies doesn't solely rely on their current form but also factors in historical performance, squad strength, and overall reputation. Bookmakers consider various aspects beyond recent results. While Milan might not have performed as expected in certain instances, the game's nature is such that even favorites face obstacles, and surprises are inherent to football tournaments.

The comeback against Newcastle to secure a place in the Europa League emphasizes Milan's ability to fight back and turn unfavorable situations in their favor. Comebacks often showcase a team's mental strength and determination and also qualities that can be crucial in knockout stages where resilience is highly valued. The ability to bounce back from setbacks are all factors that contribute to Milan's status as favorites.

Mentality really has a big influence and the AC Milan team has that.
However, basically the performance or strength of the AC Milan team is quite strong this season, but they are often unable to maintain consistency and being favored by them is quite natural in my opinion because they have the strength of the team and also the AC Milan team has a pretty good mentality when playing on the European stage.

AC Milan is much superior in quality and performance but Europa League history is never been ideal for the big teams as they have problems and early exits, but currently AC Milan needs to do something good, so this is good chance for them to go pass Rennes which is having struggling time in Ligue 1 and surely things are not favourable for them in this match but still they have outside chance as well because even AC Milan is strong and good but in this season their inconsistency is hurting them badly, and they are losing in important matches as well.

We have long time in this match and many changes can appear in both teams, but AC Milan surely can be at the better level and have chance for the staying into last four of these events with their UEFA record is also very good in last few years.

It's actually a good match, I think both opponents are equal. We can watch a good game. I would like to see whoever is better win, but football is not always a game where the better player wins.

Zinedine Zidane lifted Real Madrid to become one of the best and successful club in the European world of football. Today Real Madrid happen to be the dream club of most young players and big names also fighting their way through to be represented by the Real Madrid jersey on the pitch.

Since successfully turning Bayer Leverkusen into a team that is ready to compete with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga trophy, Xabi Alonso has begun to be linked with other big clubs such as Real Madrid. He has just recorded good achievements with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Europa League, I hope he is not bothered by all the issues linking his name to other clubs. He must focus on his goal this season to win several titles with Bayer Leverkusen including the Europa League.

Its increasingly improving performance has made Bayer Leverkusen a club to be reckoned with in this competition. Xabi Alonso must try to win the Europa League trophy with Bayer Leverkusen to make him a coach with good performance on the European stage. He doesn't need to think about moving to another club for now because he and Bayer Leverkusen have very strong chemistry.

Xabi Alonso has contract with Bayern Leverkusen until 2026 and any rumor with his position will be Real Madrid manage but he doesn't confirmed yet will agree or not. Looking good achievement with Bayern Leverkusen in this season success get unbeaten record Xabi Alonso is the right choose to be Real Madrid manager for replacing Carlo Ancelotti not extend his contract. But Real Madrid not confirmed yet and any rumor who will replace Ancelotti left several months later his contract expiry,  Madrid keep focus for this season winning as many potential trophies and prepare teams for next season to find who will be Real Madrid manager on season 2024/25.
I like with Xabi Alonso make reunion with Real Madrid but not any respond yet will Bayern Leverkusen want to let him or Madrid still have other manager candidate.

It was a good match actually, they are also a club to be considered in the domestic league although this season is a season where Lens should be down in form. Freiburg themselves are a good club in the BUndesliga, they are an obstacle to the pace of the clubs that are more favorite than them. in this match they will beat each other, and hope to win the European League this season so that they can have 1 ticket to go to the Champions League next season. Yes, although we know that the favorite clubs now are Liverpool and Leverkusen, but overall they have a chance, it's just that they still have to go through the play offs first.

Len's has done well but they won some games by luck which they can still meet all those teams again in their remaining games and, they will be disgrace because some of those teams has show some improvement in the champion league and premier league which they will still show some improvement in this round 16 in the UEFA Europa league. I know game can change at anytime which we have see such game with Manchester united and Everton who was leading the game with 2:0  yesterday in the first half but Manchester united change the game in the second half to equalized the goals, but I don't think Len's will allow such thing to occur in this game.

This UEFA Europa league will going to be a surprise tournament because many weak team last season are showing some good performance in this season but anything can still happen that will make some coach to cry for their failure.

Both teams is come from different competitions that Lens is from champion league and just like i said before this is Lens debut participant on that competition but i think their performance during group stages is quite good because they can gets 2 wins and 2 draw from 6 matches but unfortunately Lens have to satisfied to finish at 3rd place because they have 1 difference point below to PSV and about Freiburg their performance actually quite impresive but unfortunately at group stages Freiburg have to lose twice from West Ham and they only being an the runner up and Freiburg have to through an play off matches before they can advances to the next round

Actually a bit hard to predict who is the winner of this match because there was no meetings statistics from them because if i am not mistaken this is their first met at European competitions and at their domestic league too their performance is not so different but for the first leg Lens will playing as a host and considering their good records while playing at home and they even still unbeatable since group stages probably Lens will being an the winner of that match

It's actually quite easy to predict Lens match against Freiburg, you don't need statistics, but just look at their performance in the Champions League and European League and compare the group points table results.
Lens from 6 matches can score 6 scores and concede 11 scores, while Freiburg can score 17 scores and only concede 7 scores.
From these results we can consider that Lens has fairly weak attack and defense line compared to Freiburg which has a very strong attack and defense line and I am still confident that Freiburg will qualify for the next round.
We cannot compare performance in the domestic league because this is in other competitions which are very different and we are better off analyzing performance in other competitions such as the Champions League and European League which is fairer for me.

[Distraction]

Feyenoord and Roma are going to come face to face once again after having matchups against each other a couple of times before. Roma were the dominant side of all those matchups also. Roma eliminated them in the Conference League and Europa League both as you can remember. Now they will try to do the same again.

Feyenoord are one of the decent teams in the Eredivisie. But when it comes to playing in European competitions I can't say they are very successful in the recent years.

Roma are in a much better state than them in terms of success in such competitions. They won the Conference League not long ago. They qualified for the Europa League finale last season. I believe in them once again to eliminate Feyenoord with their experience.

Yeah Lens has made a quite impressive performance in most of there matches this season but they seem to be inconsistent on there winings but however just like you mentioned there performance on there match against Arsenal was actually very commendable because with the impressive performance of Arsenal I never would have believe that Lens could beat Arsenal 2-1 this season but it was very unfortunate for Lens that they had already lose form before they meet Arsenal again that was why Arsenal was able to beat them up to 6-0, although with the performance of Arsenal on that match it was quite obvious that they came with a challenge after Lens win against them.

[hahay]

Zidane should become Real Madrid's manager, he's an overrated manager since he brought Real Madrid win Champions League three times in a row. Now Real Madrid weren't in their prime, we need to know how the result when Zidane become a manager again.
Xabi might be leave Leverkusen because he will have an opportunity to train a better team and receive higher salary.

I once read the news which said that Zidane left Real Madrid not because he was fired but because he felt he was not supported by the club board. Zidane wants to build a medium and long term squad but the club board may not allow Zidane to spend a lot of money so he feels like the club board does not value him. In fact, if Madrid were still coached by Zidane, it is likely that they would be able to become champions league finalists for some time to come.

It seems interesting, because so far there may only be information circulating that Zidane just wants to take a break and has no problems with the board . After all, if for example Zidane had problems with the board, then at least it would be easy for Zidane to coach other clubs besides Real Madrid. Because ya, so far at least there has been a statement that Zidane only wants to coach Real Madrid and not other teams and with that statement. So yes, at least it proves a little that Zidane doesn't have any problems with Real Madrid.

But regarding who is the right replacement head coach for Real Madrid next season, of course Xabi Alonso is the main candidate who will replace Ancelotti. After all, this season Xabi also has a big chance of bringing Bayer Leverkusen to the Europa League final . Therefore, it is not surprising if Xabi is the main candidate because this season Xabi has been very successful in providing good results for Bayer Leverkusen.

Roma is definitely the better side here. Mourinho is very experienced when it comes to European competition as he has already won it many times. But Feyenoord also had to defeat some good teams to come here so I don’t think they should be underestimated. Roma are looking very good right now, they just beat Napoli in their recent match.

The match between Feyenoord and Roma is almost 2 months away and the result can depend on their form. So I don’t think now is the time to predict who is going to win the match between them. But if I had to pick someone between them, I would pick Mourinho’s Roma.

Lukaku is one of the most important players for Roma. So the match's result depends on him staying fit.

Yes lens has made what looks like a quiet impressive performance this season but then consistency is what they may need to add to their performance, inasmuch as we have some level of certainty to the fact that they are not going to win the league title they could try to make nit to top five or four if possible

With the second win arsenal had against lens it's obvious they were only lucky when they won arsenal, they only won probably because arsenal had a bad day so in a subsequent meeting arsenal prove they were better but if lens were able to had won Arsenal twice then I can say for sure they were that good and will be a team to see as a formidable force this season but then it's obvious they were just lucky and that's why I personally still see them as an average team and have little to almost no chances at the league title.
