Yes, the truth is that Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world, and a game can be lost, the bad thing is that he chose the strategy that was not for a final, here what we can draw as a conclusion is that the white team It will always be very big and whoever it is with , I really miss the direction of some technical directors like Mou , Zidane , who have always given Madrid great victories, they know how to manage a team with many stars, and that is what It really matters here, for example right now they really need a Zidane to put the team at full throttle , so that they always give it their all in every game.

What I have noticed that the Madrid players need is more motivation , that start that is always needed for things to go well for them, that is what I see that they could be missing , of course it is my way of looking at it , I don't know if maybe they are Something Else.

When I list all-time best coaches,  I don't include Ancelotti.  He's a good coach quite alright but he's not among the all-time greatest.  The only thing that makes him stand out is his 5 champions league which is quite an accomplishment,  but we can't judge based on only the champions league. If it were so,  Zidane would be among the greatest coaches of all time. 
Ancelotti has only 5 league titles in about 28 years of being a manager.  That's really poor stats if we're been honest. 
He has coached the biggest clubs in different countries and he should have at least 10 league titles by now.  He has coached Bayern,  Chelsea,  PSG,  Milan,  Madrid, and Juventus. He should have had more than 5 league titles with these teams even if he couldn't win with Napoli,  Everton, or Parma. 

Well it's true , one could say that when considering History, he still lacks many achievements, achievements and Titles , but I think Ancelotti is on the right track to do so, however I think Zidane has achieved a lot in a short time, he is a player/ coach because he has been very successful on both Sides , and I think he is a very accurate person in his way of looking at fútbol, I am not one to judge, but I think that in the UCL Semifinal, he lost because Ancelotti could not read the text well. The type of game that Pep Guardiola put before his eyes, he just had to be more offensive and not Stay so much in defense, City was going to Come out as it did , there I am saying that Ancelotti Failed with his Strategy.

The hope for Barcelona fans is indeed that, because Barcelona still has to make a better proof in the Champions League besides having to be good in La Liga next season. Next season Barcelona will still be coached by Xavi and he will continue to strive to make Barcelona better next season by fighting hard in the Champions League and La Liga. I also really want to see an increase in performance that is better than before at Barcelona in every different competition next season.
All the teams from La Liga are exactly the same because last season they were really bad in the Champions League. Not only Barcelona, ​​I think Real Madrid, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have to prove their quality to be better next season. So really, it's a bit strange to ignore the other teams and only focus on talking about Barcelona.

That it is true that Barcelona is too bad than what their fans expected last season in the Champions League, but for next season they definitely have a mature plan to try to fix it. It's not easy to gain success in the Champions League even if a team is really good in their domestic league, and every team who participates will do their best.

Real Madrid wasn't bad as if they played horribly bad, but they were up against a far superior opponent. Even if you have a strong team on paper, in some years there are teams that are almost destined to win it and not many people had any doubts that last season Manchester City was overdue to win it. It was exactly the time when they peaked with their performance and the second leg was a lesson for Real Madrid against them. But that doesn't mean it will be the same this season. Everything is back to zero and regardless of the outcome of last season, Real Madrid is again one of the favorites for all three titles.

What I think of Madrid is that they will always have the possibility of winning the competitions that come their way, because they have a great coaching staff, apart from that they have some great players, in fact in this transfer window they did not want to bring Mbappé that he is all eager to come, the truth is that Florentino Pérez did not flinch from making the slightest effort to bring it to him, in fact, some say that he would have been the perfect complement for Vinicius and Rodrygo who are on the rise and the perfect substitute For a Benzema who gave this club a lot, however, as Madrid is right now, I see it very well, I see a good future for them and Ancelotti seems to be using very appropriate strategies.


Toni Kroos praises ‘exceptionally good’ Real Madrid new recruit: “Great talent for his age”




Quote
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has said that new signing Arda Guler has impressed him a lot, adding that he is the kind of player that makes one question a lot of things.

Madrid signed Guler from Fenerbahce after agreeing to pay more than his release clause. The youngster signed for the club from the capital city for a fee reported to be around €20 million.

Clips of Guler getting better of his Real Madrid teammates in training have already stormed the internet but the 18-year-old is yet to make an appearance for his new team.

All this, though, has impressed veteran midfielder Toni Kroos who has nothing but admiration for the young player.

“He’s one of the talents who ask ‘How do you do that? How did you pass like that?’ he is someone who wants tips, there are a lot of 18-year-olds who already think they’re too good and they don’t need tips. But he has the mentality to learn,” said the midfielder in his podcast Einfach mal Luppen (h/t Real Total).

Source: https://madriduniversal.com/toni-kroos-praises-exceptionally-good-real-madrid-new-recruit-great-talent-for-his-age/

In the case of Toni Kross, he is a very fair player, he always has a very positive response to what is presented to him, so welcoming the player well bodes well for the team, because a veteran like Kross who gives him The go-ahead is an incentive for the youngster, so with the desire he has to learn to do things well, it is something that not everyone passes on to his new teammates, I think Toni Kross is a crack in every sense of the word .

A player like this is the one that Madrid always looks for, young, with many dreams and hungry to win many competitions, the level catches up quickly, because in a team where they have a high level of competition , a player who is always eager to learn , because he simply does it so that he can quickly enter the title.

I am personally satisfied with Barcelona's performance last season. They completely dominated La Liga and managed to win La Liga. Hopefully the Barcelona team will improve themselves tremendously this season and try to do well in the Champions League as well.

I also really want to see an increase in performance that is better than before at Barcelona in every different competition next season.

In the 2023/2034 season, Xavi must bring Barcelona much better than what they showed last season. I don't remember exactly, but it looks like there were about 11 matches played underperforming even though they won the game in the end. from these 11 matches, Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. I'm not saying that they played badly the whole game. however, this team really has had its ups and downs. I can understand that, because Barcelona faced many obstacles last season. even so, there were several other matches that they played with beautiful games.

Well, Xavi must make his squad appear consistent. now, they have additional player ammunition which is believed to add to the strength of their squad. plus, they have a second tier player that can be relied on. So, theoretically Barcelona should be stronger than last season. one more thing, Xavi has to be more creative with the system he implements. because, competition in the next season especially the Champions League is not easy with so many very strong competitors. as a Barcelona fan, I hope they are able to present interesting match after match.

Even though Barcelona did very well in La Liga but I am personally not happy, because Barcelona is really only good in La Liga but for the performance in the Copa del Rey it is bad. Moreover, Barcelona performance in the Champions League and also in the Europa League, it was a very bad result. Because after all, basically Barcelona is a great team that has been used to having a good chance to go further in the Champions League, but they still failed. Because, if Barcelona can have a very good performance in La Liga, then at least Barcelona must also have good efforts in other competitions as well. Even though they didn't reach the final, Barcelona shouldn't be humiliated like what happened in the Europa League in the last two seasons.

Yes, I know that at that time many people did not trust Xavi to handle Barcelona whereas he was a former player at Barcelona before he knew how to play the game he had played while playing at Barcelona, a game that is typical of Barcelona will probably always apply its strategy too, unfortunately it takes time for players to adapt to the game Xavi wants.

Even though Xavi failed to bring Barcelona to the UCL, at least they are better in the domestic league. That's why Xavi needs time to show his quality as a coach at Barcelona, especially now that there are new players joining Barcelona like Gundogan, which might make Barcelona's attack power sharper with Lewandowski. can't wait to see how barcelona plays this season i also hope they play better than last season.  Cheesy
Hopefully it will happen next season, Barcelona is back on track of glory and can compete with other favorite Champions League clubs. If Xavi role is replaced by Pep Guardiola at this time, it is not certain that Barca will quickly return to their previous performance under Pep tutelage. Everyone needs time and adjustment to the conditions they are facing. I don't think Barca is the only one who is experiencing a transition like this. The club's policy has changed due to financial problems, from signing expensive players to having to survive by recruiting star players who are free transfers. Remarkably Barça was able to dominate La Liga last season and won a trophy at the end of the season.

Maybe Madrid will experience something similar with Barcelona too, if Perez is no longer in the position of club president. Of course the direction of policy will change and all of that will have an impact on the journey of a club.

Despite their limited resources in signing high quality players since he took the managerial position at Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez has done well to improve the club's performance over the years and doesn't show any sign of slowing down their improvement anytime soon.
The winning mentality he's inculcated into the young lads at Barcelona is a clear representation of the positive effects of having him as their manager. They might not win the UEFA Champions League competition next season but with their growth rate, they might be winning it in the next few seasons
I have already said that Xavi has turned Barcelona's previously unconvincing form for the better in the last two seasons. Even Barcelona was last season's best in La Liga or is the best team in Europe with the lowest number of goals conceded in 38 league matches. It is a form of success that deserves high appreciation even though Barcelona is too bad financially.

I think Barcelona will still improve next season with some adjustments to their line-up after Busquets and Alba moved to Inter Miami, but I don't think Barcelona will be lacking in quality to lose their chance to defend the title.

Winning the Champions League is not easy
I honestly would be satisfied with doing well and reaching at least the quarter-finals as a certainty and a bonus the semi-finals.
Pretending to win the Champions League like this seems very silly and unrealistic to me
Even if Barcelona only managed to qualify for the round of 16, it can already be said to be something good compared to last season.
Barcelona and Xavi should be expected to qualify for a higher level in the Champions League next season, that's because they have to learn from the experiences of the last two seasons.

I also agree that it is a bit difficult to expect Barcelona to win the Champions League next season but it is never impossible because this is football. Every team has a chance to win the title, even if the odds are lower than some of the favorites.

With PSG getting into a big financial hole with the FFP, if they don't sell Mbappe, then I would say that the price of him should drop quite a lot. There are 6 days left until the 31st (when PSG must pay Mbappe a loyalty bonus of 40 million). And obviously this is the best offcut to sell Mbappe. So we continue to wait for news  Roll Eyes
The situation is getting more complicated so that PSG is really under pressure to sell Mbappe to anyone who is interested in him. I think Mbappe is just on the verge of leaving PSG at the moment, there is even a chance he will be sold before the new season starts.

Real Madrid seem relaxed about Mbappe's situation even though the player has wanted to play for Real Madrid a few seasons ago. I'm not sure Madrid are serious about signing him, but they will still open the door for Mbappe with a free transfer. Things will be updated soon, but PSG will obviously have to pay a loyalty bonus if Mbappe doesn't sold.

I think it doesn't make much sense for Real Madrid to wait for next season and Mbappe becoming a free agent. In any case, they will be forced to pay him a signing bonus because many clubs will offer this to Mbappe. If PSG now reduces the amount of compensation to a reasonable level (I think it's 120-140 million, no more), then Real will buy Mbappe now and not in a year.
It is better for PSG to sell Mbappe to Real Madrid before it will be too late. If not PSG will pay Mbappe the 40M bonus and next season he will be on free transfer. If Real Madrid feel reluctant to buy Mbappe this season,they might miss this opportunity next season because so many clubs will come for him. This will also affect the club's performance this coming season because no one will be a perfect replace for Benzema. We can't really tell if the Arabs won't have interest in him as time goes on.

Barcelona will keep pushing till they get the best results. The club advances in every round except the UEFA Champions League, which is their subsequent priority. Xavi Hernandez is the best thing that has happened to the blaugrana in recent years. The club was an utter shambles left by Ronald Koeman, who brought streak losses to the team, and they had no single hope of survival, instead pushing and battling to win a game. That didn't happen until the president, Joan Laporta, fired him and named Xavi Hernandez as a prospective replacement. Since then, everything at Camp Nou has improved.
You know a lot about Barcelona's situation with previous coaches, so of course you can really compare him to Xavi. Since Xavi signed a contract with Barcelona, ​​then from that moment I started to believe he could bring Barcelona to a different level. He is a former player who has Barcelona DNA and understands the philosophy of the game, but even if he needs time to adjust he will surely find success with Barcelona.

Next season Xavi really hopes Barcelona can triumph in the Champions League. That is the target that Barcelona hopes for the most, but with the current composition of players, I believe that Barcelona will still have difficulty reaching the final. It took 2-3 seasons for Barcelona to make their young players very experienced and have a winning mentality, but not underestimate their speed of development.

It doesn't matter how far you have watched Barcelona's development, but if you look back at their ups and downs, starting from the financial crisis to building the ideal team at this time, still for next season it might still be ideal to occupy the top position of the La Liga standings, but in the UCL of course the challenges are different. Likewise with rival competitors whose clubs have developed earlier. The point of Barcelona's renaissance began when Xavi arrived and tried to fix the mess.

Barcelona only needs to recover finances in order to maximize opportunities for hunting players. Xavi was just doing what he could so if he didn't come then it might not have had such a great effect. Like it or not, Barcelona needs to be grateful for the services that Xavi has performed so far, both the advantages and disadvantages.
Of course Barcelona and all of its management deserve to be grateful for the achievements brought about by Xavi's presence as the main coach. Xavi has built the quality and confidence in his players to play at their best since he was brought in, he has taken Barcelona to a different level compared to previous coaches.

Last season Xavi and his team managed to win two domestic titles, but unfortunately they were still too weak in the Champions League. Barcelona must improve and continue to try their best in the Champions League, but to be honest it definitely takes extra time and effort.
Yes Xavi was the actor behind the improved performance last season, and managed to present the La Liga title in his second season, after previously he brought Barcelona to be runner up after experiencing a tough season. But previously Xavi was rumored to be on strike, because he demanded a raise, and now that news is no longer heard, maybe Barcelona has agreed to what Xavi wants or whatever.
With his new status as a coach and not much experience, what Xavi Hernandez has done for Barcelona is something to be applauded, and he has managed to answer all the doubts on his arrival at Camp Nou.

I really, really agree with what you said regarding Xavi Hernandez, who was indeed the turning point in the revival of Barcelona's performance, which had experienced a serious decline. In fact, I think Xavi is really a young coach who is very talented in coaching. He was able to bring Barcelona back the Laliga title after 3 previous seasons Barcelona had always failed to win the Laliga title. But Xavi was able to maximize Barcelona's performance last season because apart from that he gave up not fighting too hard in the UCL. And only focus on Laliga. So for this season I personally also hope that Xavi can bring Barcelona to win not only in Laliga but also in the UCL. Well this is difficult and very difficult. But even a club like Inter Milan who we didn't expect to make it to the Final in UCL then Barcelona club should be able to do it. But the club's financial condition, which has yet to recover, is very worrying. So that Xavi can continue to bring Barcelona to win the title in Laliga, it was good enough last season. And even this season Barcelona should also be able to do the same thing. Because the rival, namely Real Madrid, has now lost their best striker, Benzema and has not even found a striker at the same level as Benzema to fill the void. Vinicius Jr may be a great striker but Real Madrid need more than that to improve the club's form.

The current situation with Mbappe's transfer rumors is similar to that of Luis Figo joining Real Madrid in 2000 and we can see the same words spoken by club president Florentino Perez at that time. Maybe no one would have thought that Luis Figo, who was previously at the top of the top when defending Barcelona, but with certainty Florentino Perez can bring him in to fulfill his campaign promises after becoming club president. I think the same thing will happen with Mbappe's transfer this time and indeed Real Madrid seems to be deliberately bidding for Mbappe at the end of August. With that, PSG can't do much and they have to be willing to lower Mbappe's fee so that it's cheaper to agree.
It is true that with a small time limit it will make PSG release Mbappe at the price offered, however if another club takes advantage of the same moment, Mbappe may fail to anchor to Madrid for the second time. Luis Figo move from Barcelona in 2000 was thicker with controversy when compared to Mbappe planned move this time, even though both occurred in the summer transfer market. However, Figo through his agent agreed to a pre-contract agreement without Barca knowledge, if Figo did not move and stay at Barca they would have to pay a large fine to Real Madrid.

It is possible that this trick is still being used for plans to recruit Mbappe this summer but it hasn't gone perfectly. Even though it looks a little dirty, it was successful enough to complete Perez goal of recruiting his target players.

I think it doesn't make much sense for Real Madrid to wait for next season and Mbappe becoming a free agent. In any case, they will be forced to pay him a signing bonus because many clubs will offer this to Mbappe. If PSG now reduces the amount of compensation to a reasonable level (I think it's 120-140 million, no more), then Real will buy Mbappe now and not in a year.



The current situation with Mbappe's transfer rumors is similar to that of Luis Figo joining Real Madrid in 2000 and we can see the same words spoken by club president Florentino Perez at that time. Maybe no one would have thought that Luis Figo, who was previously at the top of the top when defending Barcelona, but with certainty Florentino Perez can bring him in to fulfill his campaign promises after becoming club president. I think the same thing will happen with Mbappe's transfer this time and indeed Real Madrid seems to be deliberately bidding for Mbappe at the end of August. With that, PSG can't do much and they have to be willing to lower Mbappe's fee so that it's cheaper to agree.

If you look at historical photos, then I would rather look at the photo of that pig's head that Barcelona fans threw onto the field  Grin I don't know how they were able to pick up the pig's head, but it really did look like Figo.
I think the signing will take place earlier, perhaps this week. It is much easier not to pay a loyalty bonus than to include its return in a tripartite agreement later.

So, Mbappe does not want to extend his contract but interested clubs like Real Madrid can still be patient until next summer transfer. Thus, Real Madrid and Mbappe seem to have started the game so that Real Madrid can bring Mbappe in for free in the summer transfer. Therefore, this situation and conditions make it possible for PSG to lose the game because after all, PSG also failed to extend Mbappe's contract. But yes, maybe this incident will also be a big lesson for PSG, that money cannot always take sides because in fact Mbappe also still chose to leave.

We are not sure yet, maybe Mbappe is just doing that to make his team spend more for him and increase his salary. Right now are see much news about PSG wanting to increase the salary of Mbappe and keep him in the team for the next season. That's why they did it the last time and it's not surprising to see the same story.
Mbappe no longer has the desire to play for PSG, his decision not to renew the contract was not due to salary issues, PSG has also included a higher salary value in the new contract but Mbappe is not willing to extend his contract. Real Madrid are still willing to wait until Mbappe contract runs out with PSG to sign him for free. Real Madrid decision is very risky for those who are very interested in getting Mbappe, if PSG decide to sell Mbappe to another club, Real Madrid will never be able to get Mbappe at least as long as he has a contract with another club.
