Quote from: Furious 7 on January 06, 2024, 04:49:58 PM

Currently, Lewandowski's performance is at a slightly worrying point because of the decline in performance that occurred.
The comparison is very pronounced when talking about this season and the previous season because of several factors such as when last season he was always spoiled because of several players who opened up space and in very good situations but this season he didn't really get that. In addition, injury problems seem to haunt Lewa in this case because after the injury suffered at the beginning of the season indirectly made his performance decline and without the good space-opening control that Pedri or Gavi always do, the situation is even worse for Lewandowski now.

Xavi should provide other options at this point because forcing Lewandowski now with these conditions will make it even more difficult for Barcelona actually and the scheme that is carried out even if the possession is good but when there are no opportunities that can be converted into goals then this is still very difficult for Barcelona to get out of the zone at this time.

It's evident that Robert Lewandowski's current performance is a cause for concern. The absence of players, one after another like Pedri and Gavi after De Jong and Gundogan, who opened up space for him have played a role in his declining form. Considering these circumstances, it makes sense to explore alternative options and strategies. Relying heavily on Lewandowski, especially when he's not at his peak due to injury and other factors, might not be the most effective approach for Barcelona.

Xavi should assess the team dynamics and consider adjustments to maximize goal-scoring opportunities. Xavi could tweak the team's tactical approach to create more goal-scoring opportunities. This might involve changes in formations, positioning of players, or even introducing new patterns of play to unlock defenses. Giving opportunities to other forwards or attacking midfielders might provide fresh impetus and creativity in the final third. Focusing on enhancing the skills and performances of other key players can alleviate the pressure on Lewandowski.

The problem in this case is that Xavi also cannot do much because after all, with their current financial condition Xavi cannot impose his will by looking for alternative players other than forcing the current squad and trying to find new players on a free transfer or loan status just like before with what happened to Joao Cancelo and Felix.

Expecting a difference quickly in Barcelona's current situation is clearly not going to produce any results because after all Barcelona will be very difficult to anticipate this if their only way is to look for alternative new players.
At the moment there is a new hope actually when talking about Barcelona attacking players because Roque is now in the squad and is expected to be able to take Barcelona in a good direction but he is also still speculative because at the moment he is still too young to be given a big responsibility not to mention the problem of his performance which is overrated by the media actually this makes me think further whether he will be able to survive or not.

Robert Lewandowski has not made a major positive impact on Barcelona since he came in, although he came to meet a well washed up Barcelona team. I think if Lewandowski was to leave Barcelona now he won't be heavily missed, they need more players in the middle field now that can help control and swing the game in their favour.
Barcelona has enough strikers that a decent enough to replace Robert Lewandowski if he was to leave.

Barcelona is behind Real by as much as 7 points and for the race for the title this is a whole abyss, so yes, no matter how we look at the names, Girona is definitely more dangerous than Barcelona now. I have a hard time believing that Girona will go on par with Real until the very end, but I believe that now Girona is the favorite in the fight for second place.
By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.

I don't ignore Lewandowski and always respect him as the best center forward. Of course I am worried about his decline in form this season with Barcelona, but it may soon change and improve in the second half of the season. After all Lewandowski could easily surpass anyone's goal tally this season when he finds himself back in the game, so there's no point in ignoring him now.

So far Lewandowski has made 17 appearances with 8 goals. He is the only oldest center forward to have scored 8 goals so far this season in La Liga, the rest are players younger than him such as Morata, Borja Mayoral, Antoine Griezmann, Ante Budimir, Artem Dovbyk and Gerard Moreno. I'm sure Lewandowski can still score at least 20 goals this season and compete to be La Liga's top scorer in two consecutive seasons. He could be sold next season as Barcelona have already acquired a new centre-forward, but that is a possibility that is nothing more than a rumour.

Maybe this is nothing more than a rumor, but I would say that the probability that he will leave is close to 99%. It is obvious that his productivity is already low and if I remember correctly he has a second salary at the club, in fact he does not pay for his stay in Barcelona. Plus, what are his prospects anyway? Even if he finishes this season a little better than things are going for him now. What's next? Next season, age will have an even stronger impact.

And I see that Arda Guler's performance is still quite far below many people's expectations.

Eventually Guller can play, although it seems that Ancelotti is very careful. It was reported that Ancelotti would feature against Mallorca but that was not done because Ancelotti was worried about Mallorca's aggressive style of play.
Looking at Guller's appearance, he was pretty good. Guller was able to organize attacks and provide several key passes. Although Arandina's quality is far below Real Madrid, Guller still needs to prove himself capable of competing to play in La Liga or UCL. Indeed, when viewed in terms of posture, he looks small, he just needs to continue to train and increase muscle time.

Getting at least 58 minutes of playing time in the Copa del Rey match against Arandina is at least a warm-up match for Arda Guler at this moment. because of course it would be very risky if Arda Guler played the full 90 minutes in a difficult match in La Liga. Therefore, it seems natural that Ancelotti only brought Arda Guler in the previous match in La Liga even though he only played Mallorca, at least Ancelotti also didn't want to take a big risk because Ancelotti didn't play Arda Guler in that match against Mallorca and Arda Guler was only on the bench.
At least, by getting playing minutes in matches that are not too difficult, Arda Guler will slowly be able to adjust or adapt again to playing in the Real Madrid squad. Of course, there is no problem with this method considering that Arda Guler is still very young and yes, of course there is still a lot of time that Arda Guler can use to get good chemistry and performance in the Real Madrid main squad.

I would not say it was a warm-up match for him. I know that you didn't mean in that way, but some people could understand it that way. The pressure has been building massively and Ancelotti made the right decision to slowly help him to get accustomed with that pressure and this game was a good opportunity to do that. But Ancelotti decided to rotate a lot of players, which I think can be both positive and negative when you are trying to integrate young talents into the team.

Ancelotti experimented with his squad in today's match. He probably tried to understand the potential of the young players in his squad. Arda Guler performed well today. However, he could not score or assist. However, the performance of young player Nicolas Paz was not good enough. Naturally experienced Brahim Diaz and Joselu played well enough. We also saw good performances from Camavinga and Ceballos. However, my focus was on Guler's performance in today's match. Arda Guler is expected to become a regular player in the Madrid squad.

Almeria is the only club that has not tasted victory until the last week, yes they currently occupy the bottom of the standings by collecting only 5 points. Even though there is still half the season left, can we now say that they will be relegated this season? Being 11 points away from the safe zone is something that will be difficult for them to catch and it looks impossible if their performance is still like what we are seeing now. I am well aware that as long as there is still a chance, they still have a chance for it. But will they really be able to do it given their circumstances? I don't think they will be able to do it well.
I think the mentality of their players will be drained, yes that will make them no more enthusiastic. imagine I only got 5 draws from all the matches they played, that would be very disappointing and make their confidence drop drastically.

Arda Guler only played for 59 minutes on his debut with Real Madrid, during that time, he managed to impress Ancelotti with his performance. He did not waste the opportunities given by the coach, as long as he was on the field he was able to perform at a good level. His quality really deserves to be in a big team like Real Madrid, Ancelotti doesn't want to force Guler to play until the match ends because he is just recovering from injury. The Bernabeu public must be patient with Guler's quality, he will give his best performance in bigger matches with dribbles to break through the opponent's defense.

You are right, Madrid fans have to be a little patient to see Arda Guler top performance, not all players will immediately click with the new squad like Bellingham did. The praise given by Ancelotti will definitely motivate Guler, to continue training and learning so he can gain his trust. I believe Guler is the best investment for Madrid in the long term. Like most other star players, Guler needs time to adjust and adapt to a new atmosphere, one day Guler will definitely get regular playing minutes in Ancelotti lineup.

Madrid will face Atletico in the semi finals of the Spanish Super Cup in the next few days, it is an intense match and it is very risky to field more young players like Guler. As we know, this match could be a revenge event for Madrid to beat Atletico, Ancelotti looks like he will maximize all his potential to reach the final.

At least this debut made Ancelotti a little more satisfied because Arda Guller's performance on the field deserves appreciation and he was able to show his best abilities even though there were several mistakes when giving passes and in terms of missing opportunities to score goals. He just needs to train harder so that Ancelotti can give him the opportunity to play regularly in the first team even though if you look at his posture he definitely has a level of weakness that can be exploited by opponents.

I like Arda Guller's game because it reminds me of Mesut Ozil and even though he is not able to match Ozil's achievements. Arda Guller just needs to show his consistency to Ancelotti and if he is given the opportunity to play, hopefully he won't waste it and can show a better performance.

Guller will receive good guides and advice from Carlo Ancelotti and another good news for this young player is Carlo just signed a new contract with Real Madrid. So he will has Carlo as his coach next three seasons which are long enough for a young player to grow up and mature then become a star player.

I think this is Guller's opportunity to quickly adapt to Madrid and under Ancelotti's tutelage there will certainly be an opportunity for Guller to become a star player in the future, performing well will certainly make Ancelotti happy to see his development after recovering from a long injury, young players are very good for a clubs, especially Madrid, have to face several matches outside Laliga such as the Copa Del Rey and UCL.

Of course, Ancelotti must be able to rotate his players so that no one gets injured so that he still has some better substitute players, especially keeping his players' performance in good condition. Young players like Guller must continue to be trained to become good players, especially considering that it is not easy to compete. in the title race, especially in Laliga and UCL, of course you need good tactics to get satisfactory results.

Ancellotti is starting to trust arda. He was playing so well in the last match and i trust him a lot. It's caused by he was able showing a very excellent debut and i do appreciate all of his work. Ancellotti saw him as the future asset owned by real madrid at this moment. I think that we will be seeing something big to come from him. It shows that arda can play properly. Ancellotti may be giving him more time to play in the future as long as it will not be on the important match of real madrid. At least he has been doing great on his debut.

It is disheartening to see numerous young players fall short of our expectations; however, I have faith that Arda will rise above and deliver what we have envisioned for him. The reason Ancellotti has faith in him at the moment is because he is fully aware of the immense talent and skill of Arda Guler.

Arda Guller was into Real Madrid substitutions squad when they beat Mallorca last week and i thought Guller will make his debut on that match but unfortunately Ancelotti has decided not to played him and finally yesterday against Aradina at Copa Del Rey he can make his debut that Ancelotti was playing him at Bellingham position and i think his performance was quite impressive Guller even has made several shot attempts and he almost scored from free kick and after his debut some people has starting to considers Guller as the next Mesut Ozil because his game of style was similar to Ozil but as attacking midfielder Guller have to hard struggling to gets one place at Real Madrid starting lineup because this team has several attacking midfielder which more experience just like Brahim Diaz and their phenomenal player Bellingham

Yes that's right. Arda Guller failed to make his debut against Mallorca in LaLiga even though he had warmed up outside the pitch but coach Ancelotti did not play him and maybe Ancelotti was still doubtful after he suffered a long injury. However, in the Copa Del Ray, Ancelotti finally gave him the opportunity to make his debut.

honestly, for me seeing his debut was worth it, at least three shots, a few passes and a post. It shows that he has quality. We know that matches in the Copa del Ray are always difficult, very physically demanding, but the team managed to carry out their duties well. Arda has debuted, Camavinga looks very good. Real Madrid's future is very bright.

I also see Ozil's successor in Guler, that kid will be great because I see him as a player with class, technique and vision. Apart from that Arda Guler also has an incredible left foot and I know he will be a giant at Real Madrid.

Athletic Club's management really deserves high praise, because in modern soccer without big money it is difficult to win, but Athletic Club shows that even without big money it is possible to show a decent game and take high places in La Liga for a long time.

The match between Sevilla and Bilbao yesterday showed how many changes have occurred in Bilbao this season, previously we could only see Bilbao continuing to be outside the top 4, but this season we continue to get surprises from Spanish League clubs, after Girona which had a shock effect on the team the big teams that have always been favorites, of course now Bilbao are also starting to show their strength by threatening the teams above them, as you said, clubs that don't have strong finances like Bilbao and Girona but are able to show good performance and consistency, of course this is the result of management performance and if their management was bad of course we would never see these two teams at the top of the Spanish league standings like they are now.

I really enjoyed the Arandina vs Real Madrid match in the Copa Del Rey competition last night and seeing Arda Guler make his first debut as a Real Madrid player was definitely a very happy thing for him. Fans can't wait to see the performance of the Turkish wonderkid after suffering an injury since the start of this season. What Arda Guler does is very mature on the field and his vision in playing football really shows how good his qualities are. Arda Guler repeatedly created opportunities from kicks to assists, but none of them resulted in any goals. In the second half he was withdrawn and I think that was enough for him to prepare for tougher matches like La Liga or the Champions League.

What was no less exciting was seeing Brahim Diaz's performance in this match because thanks to him Real Madrid was able to score 3 goals. Brahim Diaz was key in the penalty kick scored by Joselu, after which he scored the second goal for Real Madrid, and in the third goal he provided the assist for the third goal scored by Rodrygo. Well, I think lending Brahim Diaz to Milan in the last two seasons is very meaningful if his performance is like this and will definitely be very helpful for Real Madrid in all existing competitions.

Arda Guller was into Real Madrid substitutions squad when they beat Mallorca last week and i thought Guller will make his debut on that match but unfortunately Ancelotti has decided not to played him and finally yesterday against Aradina at Copa Del Rey he can make his debut that Ancelotti was playing him at Bellingham position and i think his performance was quite impressive Guller even has made several shot attempts and he almost scored from free kick and after his debut some people has starting to considers Guller as the next Mesut Ozil because his game of style was similar to Ozil but as attacking midfielder Guller have to hard struggling to gets one place at Real Madrid starting lineup because this team has several attacking midfielder which more experience just like Brahim Diaz and their phenomenal player Bellingham

It was a good match for Real Madrid, where young players were tested. As a Turk, I was proud to see Arda Güler on the field in Real Madrid's starting lineup at the age of 18. It can be said that Arda made a good start. A free kick hit the post. He made good attempts with a through pass. Brahim's goal in the match was also very nice. From time to time, Arda can join the match as a substitute.

Arda Guler finally got the confidence to make his debut in a Madrid uniform since being recruited from Fenerbahce last summer. I see his rating is quite good even though he didn't appear in full until 90 minutes. I liked the way he played, Acelotti used him as a playmaker, and he didn't disappoint at all.

Los Blancos 3-1 victory over Arandina will be motivation for young players like Guler, I hope that in the future Ancelotti can give him playing minutes in La Liga. He can become a big star at Santiago Bernebeu, his skills and quality will continue to develop because he joins the right team. I think the incident with Ceballos is normal, both of them were fine afterwards.

After the match Ancelotti praised Guler quality in general, I think slowly Guler can gain the manager trust in the future. I hope Guler can avoid injury again, so he can develop even better in the future.

Arandina from the start they fought Madrid not to win but so they could play with their favorite team. If we know that when Arandina received the news that they would face Madrid, they were very happy and enthusiastic because for them Madrid is an elite club in Spain. So, back to discussing Arda Guller performance, in my opinion so far he has been quite good, able to play freely and even pose a threat to the opponent's goal with kicks from the dead point. I think he gets a lot of praise even though he doesn't score, but because of his effectiveness on the pitch and being able to help the attack, he has a rating of 7.6, being able to do 2 dribbles from 3 so Arda Guller is starting with positive results so far.

The result did not surprise me. Athletic club is a team which is in the 5th position and doing very well constantly. Sevilla on the other hand, I don't know what happened to them. They can't seem to be doing anything at all. They are right around the relegation zone with 16 points. Who knows they might even get relegated this season. Who would say that they were the team who were in the top 4 just 2 seasons back? Last season they performed poorly as well and this season it is even worse.

But credits should be given where it is due. Athletic Club are now in the 4th position because Atletico Madrid lost that match against Girona. Athletic Club may even catch Barcelona if they can keep up since Barcelona is struggling.

-snip
I feel sorry for Sevilla, they used to be a very original and interesting club, which when it was coached by Emery won the europa league and always played at a good level. Perhaps there was a change of management or they did not guess with the coach, because the results of Sevilla are terrible.

Yes, I 100% agree with you. I remember when they used to be called the European League team because they used to win the Europa League every season under Unai Emery. As far as I know, due to the financial debts, they had to let many key players go this season and they could not sign good players. That is why they are suffering. Last season they suffered as well but this season it is worse.
As for Athletic Club, it looks to me that they are taking the place of Sevilla right now. Sevilla used to be the 4th team usually before their downfall. The Athletic Club’s management is very good as well.

Sevilla seem to have won the europa league last season, although problems could be seen even then. Nevertheless, winning the Europa League is already a success and that's why the slump that Sevilla have had now looks very unexpected.
Now in the UEFA ranking Sevilla is on the 14th place, which seems to be higher than in the La Liga table now).

Athletic Club's management really deserves high praise, because in modern soccer without big money it is difficult to win, but Athletic Club shows that even without big money it is possible to show a decent game and take high places in La Liga for a long time.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

When Girona faced Atletico Madrid, everyone believed that Girona would lose that day, but the reality was different. Girona performed brilliantly and managed to win 4-3, it was really dramatic.

The match between Girona vs Madrid will still take place much later, around February 11, so there is still a big opportunity for Girona to develop a good strategy because even a draw will be very profitable for Girona. I'm sure Girona management is currently in a tense phase, everyone doesn't think they will be able to compete closely with Madrid to be at the top of the LaLiga standings.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, it seems, will have difficulty chasing Girona and Madrid, Barcelona has been wrong from the start, they have lost twice.

Not everybody saw the game ending that way, I'm a strong supporter of Girona this session but no against Real Madrid. Against Barcelona they showed class and made sure that they took three points back home. Judging from how they have played the last two clubs above ten position, I was suspecting a point to be shared between them.

That game still far, let's see them face these clubs in January before we start shifting focus on the games to be played February. If it's February, them the Champions League would come into mindset and consideration before using a full squad against Girona.

But Girona gave an important chance away to build a gap between them and Real Madrid and I think the loss against Real Madrid would have been key to that. But now they have to deal with the situation that Real Madrid wins the games even with low margins, but they win the games and collect the three points all the time. All that Girona can do is win their games and wait for mistakes. But too bad they lost their first game against Real Madrid at home because I am not very optimistic about the game in Santiago Bernabeu.

This season, Girona's odds are rather bright. Though the loss to Real Madrid was disappointing, their run against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was amazing. Their performance against the big guns proves they're tough. They may surprise us in the following matches because to their resilience, despite the odds.

Long-term, Real Madrid's consistency is hard to overlook. The title battle hinges on the three points they keep scoring. Girona should focus on winning and sustaining form. Santiago Bernabeu will be tough for the match. I hope Girona shines, but Real's home advantage and record may be too much for them.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.

Yeah almost all of us agree that Real Madrid has a greater chance of winning the title this season than Girona there are many reasons why Real Madrid is more favored but after all we cannot underestimate Girona they still have a chance even if only a few percent. I agree with you that the match in February can determine who is the most worthy to win the title and the match will be played at Real Madrid home of course it is an advantage for Real Madrid, previously the two teams had played last September and Real Madrid won it. By the way, Real Madrid is playing the Copa Del Rey match today against the lower division team but until the 25th minute there were no goals, unfortunately I bet Real Madrid scored 4 goals in this match lol but Real Madrid seems to play a young squad including Arda Guler players who have just joined this season. This should be the right moment to prove their abilities as young players

It was a good match for Real Madrid, where young players were tested. As a Turk, I was proud to see Arda Güler on the field in Real Madrid's starting lineup at the age of 18. It can be said that Arda made a good start. A free kick hit the post. He made good attempts with a through pass. Brahim's goal in the match was also very nice. From time to time, Arda can join the match as a substitute.

This year several clubs are giving their young players the opportunity to develop, it is not surprising that several clubs are fielding their young players as Real Madrid's starting lineup, it will be a big investment for the club in the future if Arda Güler plays satisfactorily in the next match then it is very likely that It will be Real Madrid's benchmark if several of their core players suffer injuries, Arda Güler could be a substitute in the future.

Arda will probably be one of Real Madrid's reserves from now on. He will be a quality backup that can be evaluated on the wings. If the time comes, he can become a substitute in Real Madrid. For this reason, if a player is injured, he should make the most of the time he plays instead. It shows that 60 minutes is not enough.

I was hoping that it would take longer for Real Madrid to score the goal to see Ancelotti having a sweat Cheesy

But the double punch was pretty much the end of the game. Real Madrid was the much better team and Arandina couldn't oppose the pressure, but that wasn't surprising. Though it took Real Madrid more time to score than they had planned I guess

The job is done and that is all that counts for Ancelotti and he was able to give some of his stars a good and important rest.

Arandina was not an equal opponent for Real Madrid even though Real Madrid took a long time to score three goals in that match. It looks like this season's Copa Del Rey could also be dominated by Real Madrid if Real Madrid can focus better as they have applied in La Liga this season. And it is important for Ancelotti to apply rest to his own players because this season, Real Madrid are still struggling in several competitions like last season, so they really need to rotate their players quite well.

In the first half Ancelotti fielded a lot of substitute players and it was proven that Real Madrid's performance was quite poor and they couldn't even score a goal in the first half so in the second half Ancelotti started playing some of his main players.
Overall I think Real Madrid's performance was not too impressive and this victory was quite worthy of their achievement and in fact I think that with the supporting players the Real Madrid team should have been able to win because the opponents they faced were lower caste teams who had quite a difference in quality.
