UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Hvdv]

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.

If we talk about the possibilities, yes, that possibility could have been true, but they won the cup with Ancelotti. So they were able to win the UCL without Zidane. Anyway, the topic is UEL and let's talk about it. Matches will be tight. Some of the teams from UCL will pass the tour easily because there is a clear difference between the teams.

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.

The thing is, Zidane didn't manage any other team neither, he just managed 3 seasons, won the UCL in all three and just... retired from managing? For the time being at least, he hasn't managed anyone else.

I think that should matter a lot because we are talking about something huge here, if he comes back to manage any other team, then we would definitely see him doing well, but if he goes back to manage Real again after Ancelotti leaves, then things will definitely be very wild there.

This dude can only do worse, he can't really do better, he already won UCL three times in a row, a feat nobody has done in over fifty years or so, how could he do better? He could do worse though, a lot worse, it is not impossible for real to lose the league, they didn't last season, and they could lose ucl too, didn't last season, if he does like that, which is quite possible, then it would not really be that weird and he would be doing much worse suddenly, who would want pressure like that?

Yes Zidane didn't leave Real Madrid because he was fired but he became uncomfortable with the club because he wasn't given the support that he wanted when the club was having some difficulties even after winning both the league and the champions League for the team but he's good works were beginning to fade away so he made use of the available opportunity to resign as the club manager instead of being fired by the club since he wasn't getting the support from the management anymore. I also think Ancelotti has also helped the team to win some trophies but he's also going to help the team become champions League finalist or possibly winning the champions League soon.

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.

Yep. AS Roma has a better experience in European competition. They also have the coach (Mourinho) who already won varied titles in any European competition. No doubt if AS Roma should be superior against Feyenoord if we consider the track record of the team and the coach. However, it doesn't guarantee anything, it probably increases the chance to win.

It is true that AS Roma current performance looks better, it seems they are ready to fight with Feyenoord with their best. But we can't deny that Feyenoord is also experiencing a good season. They are in the second place of Eredivisie league, it proves that Feyenoord has something to challenge AS Roma. So, AS Roma must be careful although they have Lukaku. Feyenoord also have many young players with great skills.

How did Real Madrid not support Zidane? He didn't win the La Liga that same season, rather he lost the league and pressure mounted on him to be sacked, they even have him the support by not sacking him. With the help of the players around, he was able to win the Champions League.
Believe me Zidane quickly resigned immediately after they won the Champions League so he wouldn't be sacked.

Champions League winners at the end of the season? That I can't conclude on, but winning the La Liga, looks like a sure banker.

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.

Yes, this match will be held in February and almost 2 months away, surely Feyenoord should not be underestimated. Even though on paper Roma is ahead, but maybe Feyenoord performance will improve, considering that there is still a lot of time for them. But indeed, with Mourinho experience, I think Mourinho team can beat Feyenoord. Moreover, so far Feyenoord not very impressive in big Europa competitions. So, I also think the possibility is high for Roma to qualify for the next round.
About Lukaku, I think without Lukaku Roma will still be able to win if Feyenoord performance does not improve. But it's better if he is available and not injured, because you are right Lukaku is an important key player for Roma squad this season.

[shogun47]

Why do you think so? Because if they can defend or draw it will be easier to win at home? I remember the Bayern vs Liverpool match. Liverpool draw at home and win the away game. I believe it can be a double-edged sword in the end, since there are many factors from player's motivation to supporter's support that can affect how they play.

[1] https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/84/Show/Italy-Roma

I agree that it is not set in stone that playing home in the second game is an advantage. It could also be subjective perception, but I sometimes think that playing the second game at home could psychologically be advantageous. However, if a team plays first at home and wins that game, it could be an advantage as well when the team can then play patiently, waiting for counter attacks away from home and knowing that a draw would be enough isn't bad either.

Feyenoord without doubt, have been impressive since the start of the season especially in their local league and would possesses major threat against Roma when they face each other in the  playoff in their two legged game.
However, we must understand that Roma is managed by a very experienced European tactician in the person of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho as we all know is one manager that doesn't joke with any European trophy and would definitely introduce his best tactical method to make sure his team progresses to the quarter finals of the competition.

[marcous]

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.

It can be understood that Roma is the favorite because they have a more competitive league than Feyenoord. The Mourinho and Lukaku factor could also be a good bargaining chip for Roma, but it is not impossible that Roma will be eliminated in the play off round, we have to leave room for surprises open. On the other hand, Mourinho contract will end at the end of the season, as well as Lukaku loan period from Chelsea, this is the momentum to leave a beautiful impression before parting ways at the end of the season.

I think the match between Roma and Feyenoord is an even match, despite the assumptions above. However, head to head, Roma is still ahead with 3 wins, 1 loss and one draw in 5 meetings. Apart from that, it is true that we need to wait a moment and look again at the strength of the two clubs ahead of their meeting in February.

It's not a big surprise if that happens because Feyenoord also has pretty good strength, it's just that Jose Mourinho's experience and Roma's strength has improved since the start of the season, making them slightly favorites, but personally I still say that the percentage for these two teams to qualify is still 50. -50.

And I see that this season Jose Mourinho's ambition to bring Roma to win the Europa League is quite big after their failure in last season's final and as we all know, Jose Mourinho has quite a lot of experience on the European stage and this is worth taking into account.

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

Even though they are indeed seen as one of the clubs that are quite good but looking at the standings that Roma have, they actually still have a little problem according to me because they are the favorite club in the group phase but they ultimately have to go through a complicated play off phase to qualify for the round of 16 phase.

Facing Feyenoord is actually not something new because this is not the first time they have faced each other but indeed in this case everything is still very possible because after all by looking at the current situation as you said, the match is still quite long.

In addition, Roma's stability currently only relies on Lukaku alone and I think this can be something good or can be the opposite because when Lukaku has problems then this can indirectly affect Roma's performance also in terms of goal productivity so this can affect more than we think. Still h2h Roma are ahead although this cannot be a benchmark.

I still understand why people are discussing chances of teams and in the case of Galatasaray, I would not say that they have a chance to win the Europa League because they are coming from the Champions League. I rather think that they have played some amazing games in the Champions League and their only issue was efficiency. If they can get that under control and perform well like they do in the domestic league, I think Galatasaray belongs to the handful of clubs that can win the Europa League title.

We are talking about speculating the team that will be winning the game soon and this is still a part of gambling caused by this is also affecting your decision making. In fact, gambling is very close to the predicting the result or output from the game itself. There's nothing wrong with it.
I would to call that if any team have chances to win the competition but the only thing that makes it different will be how big the chance owned by the club to win the game. You do put galatasaray as your favorite club and it's not a problem at all but i just remind you that you forgot to put some clubs

like roma, leverkusen and liverpool to be the strongest candidates to win the competition. They much more stronger compared to the galatasaray. it sounds good to see that how people iis being very optimistic with his favorite club.
Yet i took other clubs like roma, liverpool or leverkusen to be the strongest candidate to win the competition right now. It's caused by they have better experience compared to the galatarsaray. The quality of players were also affecting it too.
Im only saying it based on the fact.

This is once again a response to a post that I didn't write. I never said that Galatasaray is my favorite to win the Europa League. Instead I said that the reasoning some here presented as to why or why not there is a chance for Galatasaray to win is incomprehensible. My point is that Galatasaray has played some great games in the Champions League and many of those performances were very promising. Since they barely missed to advance to the next round in the Champions League, I think they are now still in good condition and good enough to beat teams like Roma, Leverkusen or Liverpool. Yet they are not my top favorite. But they are one of them if they can continue with their high level performances.

How did Real Madrid not support Zidane? He didn't win the La Liga that same season, rather he lost the league and pressure mounted on him to be sacked, they even have him the support by not sacking him. With the help of the players around, he was able to win the Champions League.
Believe me Zidane quickly resigned immediately after they won the Champions League so he wouldn't be sacked.

I thought when Zidane could not give La Liga titles in the season but Zidane managed to give the Champions League title which was of course more prestigious. Are you saying that because of a lot of pressure due to failing to win La Liga, Zidane chose to resign so as not to be fired? To be honest I don't know what the reason Zidane did that. Is he afraid of losing his reputation if he was fired?

[Blitzboy]

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.

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.

I think Xabi Alonso is amazing at Bayer Leverkusen. His job of building the team and positioning them as a Bundesliga challenger against Bayern Munich is excellent. I think hes in the right place now. Being linked to Real Madrid is natural given his connection with Los Blancos, but I think he should focus on Leverkusen. They could win the Europa League under his leadership, solidifying his status as a top coach.

Real Madrid, however, is different. Numerous fans consider them a fantasy team, founded by Zinedine Zidane. Managing such a club is appealing, but its a big step with unique problems. Alonso still has unfinished business at Leverkusen, so leaving now may not be ideal for his career. Why not win a trophy at Leverkusen first after demonstrating his worth?

I agree that it is not set in stone that playing home in the second game is an advantage. It could also be subjective perception, but I sometimes think that playing the second game at home could psychologically be advantageous. However, if a team plays first at home and wins that game, it could be an advantage as well when the team can then play patiently, waiting for counter attacks away from home and knowing that a draw would be enough isn't bad either.

In my personal opinion, playing the second game at home isn't an advantage and especially when the hosting team had conceded a goal away already or lost the game away so definitely a draw isn't going to do them any good, they at that point not only needed to win, but to win with a good margin to be able to get ahead of their opposition.

It's even better the first game is played at your home and if you win you stand at the best advantage you can think of at that time because you wouldn't have to struggle away and like you rightly stated even a draw will be fine and so their struggle at this point reduce and the hosting team is now more at battle because even psychologically they will be under pressure to making sure not to concede a goal and also not to loose so the pressure is high when you are hosting the second game than when you host the first, you only become relaxed hosting the second only if you won the first with a good margin.

Manage head to head make AS Roma more confidence for playoff UEFA Europe League round match against Feyenoord, won 3 of 5 meeting could be capital for AS Roma get one place on 16 round. Jose Mourinho have more experienced when playing on Europe League because he won many trophies before with FC Porto, Manchester United and last season almost make AS Roma become the winner but have loss in the final match against Sevilla.

AS Roma performance in Europe League most depend on Romelu Lukaku, he scored 5 goals of 6 matches and half of AS Roma goals on group phase from Lukaku contribution. I think he will score goals again on playoff round match against Feyenoord next months and bring Roma qualify to 16 round.

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.

Yes Zidane didn't leave Real Madrid because he was fired but he became uncomfortable with the club because he wasn't given the support that he wanted when the club was having some difficulties even after winning both the league and the champions League for the team but he's good works were beginning to fade away so he made use of the available opportunity to resign as the club manager instead of being fired by the club since he wasn't getting the support from the management anymore.

Champions League winners at the end of the season? That I can't conclude on, but winning the La Liga, looks like a sure banker.

Zidane made a wise decision to leave the club before he gets sacked to keep his reputation. He really tries his best then when he was the manager of Real Madrid, and the players supported him a lot.

It is true that we cannot tell who will win the champions league this season, but I believe that if Real Madrid can get to the finals, they will be the favorite to win it. This is because they have more experience and are always desperate to win the competition, when playing finals. They have won more finals than losing.

And I see that this season Jose Mourinho's ambition to bring Roma to win the Europa League is quite big after their failure in last season's final and as we all know, Jose Mourinho has quite a lot of experience on the European stage and this is worth taking into account.

Jose Mourinho's experience is what makes Roma still perform well to this day even though it is not very consistent but still Roma is not a bottom club. Roma is also like other elite clubs because of its ability to bring in experienced coaches like Jose Mourinho, Feyenoord is not a club that is so foreign to Roma so I think Roma can still take advantage of opportunities well even though you think the percentage is 50:50 but for me Roma's percentage is bigger than Feyenoord.

Yes, I admit that it is true because Jose Mourinho wants to bring Roma to win the Europa League title because last season Roma failed to win it due to small mistakes that led to failure but it looks like this season is a little difficult. Because many big Premier League teams are competing here so it hinders Roma's journey to achieve it after all It is also not certain whether Roma will qualify for this play-off round.

Never try to underestimate feyenoord and people will be surprised if roma will lose against it. Feyenoord is considerably strong even though it was struggling at UCL. Mourinho has been facing feyenoord several times and it can be used to fight against it.
Mourinho has faced this club a few times in the past, but I'm still contemplating whether Feyenoord still possesses the same level of strength as they did in the old days. There might be a lot of improvemetns happened with feyenoord and this can be considered as the factor that makes mourinho's experience become obsolete.
Roma still needs to be careful against feyenoord. It was not that strong but it's enough to kick roma out from the europa league. Just never try to underestimate your opponent or you will be getting another disaster.
Even though it sounds unfamilar for us but feyenoord was able playing in the UCL. I value UCL club dropped to the europa league as a stronger club. Lukaku is going to be the only striker roma can rely on.

Feyenoord without doubt, have been impressive since the start of the season especially in their local league and would possesses major threat against Roma when they face each other in the  playoff in their two legged game.
However, we must understand that Roma is managed by a very experienced European tactician in the person of Jose Mourinho. Mourinho as we all know is one manager that doesn't joke with any European trophy and would definitely introduce his best tactical method to make sure his team progresses to the quarter finals of the competition.

Actually, in their local league. Feyenoord, in my opinion is not that impressive, if we compared to PSV this season which has had a good performance. Meanwhile, Feyenoord not very consistent in their domestic league, but I also won't underestimate this team Feyenoord because maybe they can be able to achieve satisfactory results again at next. But still, Roma have a better manager. Apart from that, squad of Roma also is actually better and I think in that match Roma can win on away or home games, although it is too early to say that.
