Gavi's injury is trending and I see a lot of sports media reporting about it. I know it is a big loss for Gavi and Barcelona, ??but Barcelona should not be affected by the injury of one of its important midfielders this season. Barcelona will have an equally good line up with Gavi or without him as long as De Jong, Pedri and Gundogan are fine, but if these three players are absent then I believe Barcelona are in trouble.
De Jong reportedly will return soon and will be available for the match against Rayo Vallecano. I'm happy with the news, but I hope Xavi doesn't insist on playing De Jong if he hasn't fully recovered and got a game. Pedri, Ilkay Gundogan and Fermin Lopez can be played as midfielders, but I think Xavi will call up several other midfielders from Barcelona B to cover the lack of players.
Well this is something that can't be much of a Problem for Barcelona, Xavi has very good players, and young ones, the one who is interested in Ensuring that he doesn't get injured is Lewa because he is one of the players that I consider to be a spearhead for Barcelona, since Barcelona has it as a great trophy that can be taken out of those moments when everything is just wrong and in view of this things have to be seen from the point of view where the team would always need many ways to be able to identify its problems or possible failures that occur. to once and for all have access to correct everything and prepare the team without that player, as you say , for me Barcelona has very good midfielders, they are all very good, what matters is that they can have at least 1 substitute for the one who was injured and That's right, I have also seen that the Barcelona players have a lot of talent, but they need to be given more minutes, and that is Something that they have to give them the Opportunity to do now, because many can leave without really Showing what they are.
Barcelona cannot and should not lose concentration, they have a lot of Commitment in the League and in the UCL, they cannot go out just like that, I would like Barcelona to advance as much as they can and for them to be able to become a stronger team, because the stronger they are and What they can do against Madrid is more exciting, and good football at a high level is what I like, not that they become weak and make everything easy, because beating them with the best of the best is something more rewarding, even So that will remain in history, that's why I want Barcelona to do well, even though I'm from Madrid, but I like good football. In fact, every game that Barcelona wins against Madrid is another lesson, it's something that They must correct, that's why I will always support Barcelona to have good players, a good coach, and so they can be a very strong team, otherwise for me it wouldn't make sense for them to Beat them.
And just like that , Real Madrid is back on 1st place in LaLiga but we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if they will keep up as Girona still needs to play their game against Bilbao and whoever thinks this game won't be nice , I said he will be mega wrong. Why ? Well Bilbao is on 5th place having an extraordinary season so far , scoring goals , playing offensive but also defensive and have a great chemistry between players and same goes for Girona because this team is having their best season in history of the club and that will push them further and further in order to try and reach the impossible of becoming LaLiga champs.
Real Madrid managed to get perfect points this week. The convincing victory they achieved over Cadiz temporarily allowed El Real to climb to 1st place in the standings and this is of course positive capital for Ancelotti's troops. Meanwhile, Girona, who has been able to perform phenomenally to date, has faced quite a serious challenge, of course it will not be easy for them against Bilbao, which incidentally is also in a positive trend. I think Girona will miss out on perfect points this week.
But Girona should have more confidence in the next match against Bilbao. Because the match will take place at the Montilivi Stadium which is Girona's home ground. Bilbao has indeed appeared quite impressive this season, but we also must not forget that Girona has also appeared more impressive this season. And we also have to see how last season Girona was able to beat Bilbao both at home and away. So most likely I will bet on Girona for this match. Because I also just found out that there is a strong drive that also makes Girona stronger every season. Namely because it turns out there is a City Football Group led by Sheikh Mansour who is also behind the Girona club. Because CFG apparently owns almost half of the shares in Girona. And we know that every club owned by the City Football Group somehow always has quite good achievements. And maybe Girona will be like that too. However, even if this match ends in a draw, Girona is actually still in a good place because they have the same number of points as Real Madrid. But if Girona loses then Real Madrid might slowly make up the difference in points with Girona. And it could be that Girona's positive trend will end.
What I think about this is that Madrid already has a lot of experience in these types of cases, it is known that they want to be in first place, last season they lost because they trusted themselves, that's how it was with Barcelona, they only trusted themselves because They were in the UCL and they didn't put much love into the League, Ancelotti wants to leave Madrid but in style, winning everything he can, like being champion of the League and UCL, I think at least he doesn't want to conform to the Italian star For now things want to be shown that way, and I'm sure Madrid doesn't want to let itself go behind, I like what Girona has done, they are playing very well and this can be seen in the way they are going, for that reason The reason is that we can see that many things can be evidenced to improve, to go further in the League Madrid has to win everything from now on, not be left but at most in a draw, but not lose, but win everything it it could be done.
Some teams like Barcelona are always looking to win, to go hand in hand fighting for first place, well they are the defending champions of the League last season, and that is something that can be seen with great intensity, Real Madrid is a team that always excels under any circumstance, they have always known how to cope with things in the toughest moments, they always show their strength, for now they have injured players, like Vinicius, but Rodry is a player who could help solve, Madrid always He has very good players so they can defend the pride of Madrid and Ancelotti himself knows it, in fact I think there is a lot of potential in the same team that alternates on the bench.
The team will always have the best options, it just has to be more decisive this time, because last time, as I said before, it was difficult for them to take first place and that was the reason they didn't win or didn't reach the level.
Erling Haaland’s agent reacts to Real Madrid rumoursReal Madrid’s search for Karim Benzema’s replacement continues, with the Frenchman leaving at the end of last season in order to join Al-Ittihad almost out of the blue. Rumours suggest that they will go for either Kylian Mbappe or Erling Halaand in the summer of 2024 as a possible Galactico signing.
The Mbappe transfer looks more feasible, as his contract expires at the end of this season. At the moment, the Frenchman signing a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain does not seem very likely.
Of course, things can change in the Mbappe situation quickly. Real Madrid have learned that first-hand in recent years.
As a result, Real Madrid should keep the door open to alternatives. Halaand would certainly fit the bill of a Galactico, having inspired Manchester City to a treble in his debut campaign in England.
Haaland’s agent reacts to Real Madrid rumours
As reported by AS, Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, told the media:
“Will he sign for Madrid? You should ask Madrid that.”
It is believed that Real Madrid maintain a firm interest in Halaand. The Norwegian forward’s contract with Manchester City expires in the summer of 2027.
There are rumours that a release clause will become active in his contract from the summer of 2025. Signing him at any point in the near future will be extremely difficult, even for Real Madrid.
