La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 !

[Sim_card]

So far the only weakness I see in Madrid is their midfielder Kross has already left, there is talk of DeBruyne, but the truth is I don't think they will sign him. Madrid always looks for Younger players.

Is it the same Madrid defense that has Jude Bellingham that you are saying is weak? Madrid has an abundance of talented midfielders, even from their academy, and even players that they can convert from other positions. They can go a season without needing to get any player in midfield, and still do well.

Maybe it is difficult to have a great midfielder like Kroos again. But Real Madrid is not really worried about this. Because currently Real Madrid still has a great midfielder there. Even some of Real Madrid's young players also have reliable potential. So, yeah there is no need to worry about the Real Madrid midfielder position left by Kroos.

Get difficult find the right replacement for Toni Kroos position have above 90% long pass accuracy, actually Real Madrid have many great holding midfielder and most of them still on the young age but not easy for replacing Toni Kroos position with several fantastic assists contributing for the attacking line players.

I think Manchester City holding midfielder Rodri is the best replacement for Toni Kroos position, but Madrid not make approach for signing him and Carlo Ancelotti keep believing with his youth players will replace the empty position leaving by Toni Kroos. Madrid had reach agreement extend one year contract for Luka Modric and he can play well with Toni Kroos position although can't guarantee for him get more minutes playing next season.

I believe that Ancelotti wants to their some new experiments again to see if he can use a young midfielder with Modric next season because he has not shown any concern on bringing a new midfielder to replace Kroos. Ancelotti is a good coach and he can from nothing make something which I respect him for that. Maybe if his new idea did not work out for him as planned next season, he will sign a new midfielder.

I agree that thinking midfield is a "problem" for Real Madrid feels like a joke. Their midfield worths like 300+ million euros, if thats a weak midfield I would like to see what would be a good one. I think they are still great. Of course Kroos was a great player, doesn't mean that losing Kroos is nothing, of course we are going to see them be very difficult to handle it all. I just have to point out that we are talking about a situation that is a lot more different. All in all, they may lose one great player, but they still have many other great players that they are still going to play with and thats what matters for them as well. That is why I think its quite important to just assume that they are going to be fine in the next season without Kroos and still easily win against everyone.

Ancelotti doesn't need to sign any new player to change the role of Kroos or Modric because Real Madrid already has enough midfielders to replace them. Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, and Aurélien Tchouaméni are Real Madrid current midfielders. I think Ancelotti will use Jude Bellingham-Federico Valverde-Eduardo Camavinga as the main players in Real Madrid midfield line. Although Ancelotti still has Modric, I think Modric will rarely be a starter, he will spend more time in the bench. Sure, Ancelotti always has a new idea, but he must understand which idea is suitable with Real Madrid play style.

Yes, the role of the coach is very important, not only in the tactics and ability of the entire squad to carry out the game using their tactics, but also in how the coach controls the players to remain under his control. Yes, because there are some players who sometimes like what they do. Even worse, in some other clubs, there are many players who don't respect their coaches and sometimes even get into fights with them.

Coaches must be respected, not feared, because if they are respected the players will see that more, compared to being feared because the players might have bad thoughts about the coach. And I think Ancelotti is a highly respected coach.

Yes, of course, the players are no longer small children who need to be scared. But they are adults who will immediately respond when they see how the coach works for them, how he treats them, and devises strategies for them. And how the coach is on the field when the players compete. It will have a big influence not only on their skills but also their soft skills and mentality too.  And the players are certainly aware that if they don't play optimally, their position at the club might also be threatened, because there are still other players waiting on the bench.

I agree that thinking midfield is a "problem" for Real Madrid feels like a joke. Their midfield worths like 300+ million euros, if thats a weak midfield I would like to see what would be a good one. I think they are still great. Of course Kroos was a great player, doesn't mean that losing Kroos is nothing, of course we are going to see them be very difficult to handle it all.

Tony Kross is truly irreplaceable, he is a legend. but now the era is different. Real Madrid's midfield also didn't immediately drop badly without Kross. No. They still have other players who are also shining and strong too. They have a very strong midfield, even their substitutes on the bench are no less strong. So, the current situation, Real Madrid, especially with Mbappe in front, and Bellingham finally in his original position as attacking midfielder, then there are still Vini RR, Rodrygo, and others in each line who are actually strong, so it should be, Real Madrid will very successful and becomes the strongest in La Liga.

[Uruhara]

Although currently the squad that Real Madrid has looks very perfect because they already have a mainstay striker who has been waiting for a long time at the club after losing Benzema. Mbappe is here now and he will immediately become the spearhead of the Real Madrid squad. But yes, this is not a certainty that once the club has the perfect squad it will immediately produce perfect results too. Well that's still not certain. Because even though Mbappe has good experience as a world-class striker, he definitely has to adapt to Real Madrid. Because every different team will definitely require different adjustments. Likewise, Mbappe will definitely have to make his own adjustments there along with the other players at his new club. but hopefully everything goes well there. And Real Madrid can answer all the hopes placed on them next season. Because currently people's hype for Real Madrid seems to be quite high. Because everyone sees the depth of the Real Madrid squad which can be increasingly expected from season to season. But winning the UCL and Laliga is not easy. Because other teams are also preparing and strengthening their respective squads. And it will keep the competition fierce in the end.

That's right, the players must be aware of this so that their position remains safe in the main squad in every match. That's why they have to compete healthily within the team in order to gain the coach's trust.

Their position will always be threatened at any time, because when they play badly, other players who can show a better game will get more trust from the coach. So they have to be aware of this.

I am not worried about getting a midfielder to replace Kroos because Ancelotti will bring in the right one and he knows how he will manage the players to give him the best results that he wants. However, it is important that he gets a midfielder so that his team will be unstoppable next season. Maybe he hasn't seen the right player.

Yes, well Modric is not doing badly , but considering that they are already starting to get critical because of his age and all this, it had been speculated that a DeBruyne could Probably have arrived , which would be snatched from CITY, a signing that would hurt them a lot , because he is a player who does very well, although Madrid is not one to look for players who are of that Style but rather younger players, I think it's time to make a difference with him, if they got a place for Mbappé who at first said no to Madrid, why can't they make an exception with a good Midfielder?

I do not believe that De Bruyne will be right for Real Madrid. He is a good footballer, but he will not be suitable for Madrid since the team is a high pressing, attacking oriented one. He is more of a play maker, a fluent creator of moves and as such Madrid has found itself with a surplus of attacking talents. They still require a midfielder that can match up to a high press, high intense team and de Bruyne might not be able to do so. Furthermore, he is 30-year-old already, and the Madrid’s policy implies preferring players who are much younger and have more potential. They should seek for another midfielder than that because he does not fit in their system!

What you say is very good, however, I would say that because of Ancelotti's Style , they could look for or want a DeBruyne , who for me the Formation that Madrid has has served him, but the fact of putting those players there and not as recoverers, or Being in the front Row makes everything change, of course I think that the one who best adapts to that style of play is Modric , but as we all know, the Spanish believe that he is Already an old man, and they do not see the Experience that he has or what he can support.

I am bit disagree with your viewed about Kevin De Bruyne, he has the same typical game play with Toni Kroos and more active as attacking and become right replacement for Real Madrid midfielder. I got rumor with De Bruyne want to cut off his salary receiving from Manchester City for joining Real Madrid but recently not any official announcement yet who will be right replacement for Toni Kroos position.
Madrid have many young players but sign De Bruyne will make Madrid more danger for next season behind Jude Bellingham, Mbappe and De Bruyne will see many goals or assists make by them.

Indeed, there are many factors that can affect their game if they are not optimal at the club or do not comply with what is directed or made by the coach. Here, avoiding conflict with the coach is also very decisive. Not only that, injuries are something that every player is very worried about. That's why, as long as they don't experience injury, whatever it is, they must always perform optimally whatever their emotional condition and mood.

It has been confirmed that Kevin de Bruyne will leave Man City... However, it was reported that he has reached an agreement to go to Al-Ittihad, Saudi League, again a great player will be going there. This is quite surprising, I thought he would stay at Man City, or if he moved it would be to another big club in Europe. Yes, I thought, to Real Madrid, but that wasn't an option. If this news is true, then it is really surprising, de Bruyne will go to Al-Ittihad.

Conflict with coaches, this is something we often see from several players. And that does make them have to be on the bench when they have problems with the coach, or even their team which will hang up the player's status. They don't want to sell, on the other hand they are also not given the opportunity.

Even though it is unprofessional if players with abilities have to be left on the bench, some coaches do that.

Yes, maybe on several occasions, this happens quite often. And several players in various clubs also experienced it. However, what is different is how their condition is after the international conflict, whether it really disrupts their performance or their relationship, or whether it is normal again.

because it's true that a typical coach or player doesn't easily forget all conflicts or they have a characteristic that is quite stubborn, but there are also those who are wiser for the sake of the team. And this is what players and coaches have to do, they have to be much wiser with all conflicts or anything else, for the sake of the club being safe, they are fighting together with others.

Anyway, we are ready to see the big match as the early season between Real Madrid vs Atalanta, the winner of UCL vs UEFA Europa League. I'm sure and hope that Real Madrid can also win this match.

This should have been avoided, because they would disrupt the interests of the team because of the conflict between them. Professionalism must be upheld and they must put the team above their interests, especially if the conflict occurs over trivial matters.

Sometimes players and coaches have to lower their egos a little. I know very well that everyone has their own ego, but if they want they can suppress it.

You're right, Madrid always looks for very young players so that they can jump into their ranks, it's a fact that things are different for them now, because normally a player with so much experience is somewhat old for Madrid, the thing is that it's difficult, the best players are not for sale yet and many teams have reinforced themselves very well in some way , on the other hand, Madrid's attack is fabulous, for me it's the best attack they've had in a long time , of course now that things are going like this, Madrid will want to continue dominating La Liga and UCL.
