Luka Modric just has to accept that this might be his last season with Real Madrid. The coach has started to rotate regularly which means other players get more playing minutes than Modric, but of course Ancelotti will not take a big risk by substituting Modric for some tough matches such as against Barcelona at the end of the month.

Bellingham is not in the same role as Modric, but Bellingham has certainly helped a lot this season. Kross and Modric are unlikely to stay much longer at Real Madrid and that's why I find them on the bench more often than not starting most games.

Maybe Barcelona has an advantage due to the fact that the game will take place at the Camp Nou, but in my opinion it is not so that Real's quote is 3.00
As for Felix, he plays as always, he has already adapted  He is always active, fussing, has chances, but usually there is very little benefit from this in the form of goals. There was another such game against Slovakia, although he had little playing time.

With Vini Jnr, Bellingham and Rodrygo currently in the team their team looks really strong and good but I think it's not yet very balanced cause they need a quality striker that got a very good finishing and could be able to score week in and out, Joselu is a temporary player for the team and is not that type of striker that could do that and I don't even think Realmadrid would sign him permanently, even if they do he's not going be the top finisher for the team.

 Mbappé has a connection with Realmadrid and could move their next summer,he's still on Madrid radar even though they're still or Alternatives for Benzema's replacement, but I think he's the preferred option for that role, his partnership with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo would produce magic for the team coupled with Jude Bellingham would make it more Amazing, Realmadrid should seize their opportunity to get him when his contract expires by next summer.

Well, when you discuss what can be had in MADRID, it is obvious that things when dealing with Bellinghan are on another level. For me, this lies a lot in what belongs to the best team in the world, which at one time I did not have in mind. PSG, but in reality I would really like Haaland to come instead of Mbappé, for me Mbappé is already out of fashion, he is a very good player, but he is not shining much, at PSG he is suffering, and like him He is the only star who has to shoulder the team to carry it forward, and he has not done it, so that is disappointing, so when we do several things or imagine different scenarios, it is much easier to bring in Haland than Mbappé himself, that Mbappé goes to Liverpool, which is where he has the most affinity, but in reality I don't see him dressed in white, I see Haaaland more for everything, for his presence, because eventually he must be the Ballon d'Or, and not a Mbappé who has always suffered from a lot of envy and wants to stand out by going above the others, it is not an attitude of our Madidista, and I think that Florentino Pérez is clear about it, besides he would already be 26 years old or so, it is no longer so necessary in Madrid So, in this order of ideas, Bellinghan will be the best way out for Madrid, and I think in case they are going to fight to have Haaland in their ranks.

If they take him away from Pep Guardiola, I think that team will be very helpless, all their players are good, but I think Haalan is a key player, who imposes fear, he witnesses many, the Viking has that which every team needs, also that at any moment he takes the Walloon he can turn it into a beautiful goal, and that is just what the people of Madrid like , people who can solve the most difficult games, that is the supremacy that Florentino Pérez always seeks to have, he could It can be said that things are going to get better every time new things are seen in Madrid.

Well things with Modric tend to be quite complicated, or I know if the player is really going to leave next season, I hope he goes to Saudi football afterwards so that they continue to value him a lot as a player, Madrid is a team that has a high level They have always liked players since they were very young and promising that they are stars because it is an added plus, but here in this what is discussed is that Madrid is valuing its players a lot, in the case of Modric and Kross, that It is something that I praise, because when the players reached 26-27 years old they began to bother them, that the contract, that they pay less, and everything that is like a small indirect dismissal, therefore when it comes to this topic, It could be said that Madrid has more tact, of course I imagine that it is also because these players have given them many triumphs, as with the deal with Benzema, who came in and saved their game, of course the Frenchman is still in another level and that is something that is detailed in each game.

Given that everyone is Talking about a striker, that Madrid needs one urgently, well, they are already seeing promising young players and it is not bad, here is a good example of what they may be looking for, however I would stay as they are , with Rodry , with Viniscius and Bellingham , for me they are the best , there is no other option.

In Several seasons ago I didn't like El Classico because of the different qualities where one team was stronger and the other team was weaker. This happened after the Messi-Ronaldo era. But this season El Classico is one of the matches that I am really looking forward to because both teams are in their best form and both also have equal quality. Real Madrid were slightly better and they only conceded 6 goals compared to Barca who conceded 10 goals. This shows that Madrid has a very good defense which of course is a homework for Xavi to dismantle Madrid's defense.

I'm not going to argue why Barcelona dropped points. The important thing is that Barcelona have dropped points, and they have dropped points against the weakest teams in the league. They may not have performed poorly, but they still failed to win. As Barcelona are playing for the title, every point is very important for Barcelona. And so Barcelona have to be more careful when performing against smaller teams. Also, Barcelona dropping points against lesser teams is nothing new. We have seen this happen several times in the last season as well. Xavi should be more aware.



I agree with you. When Barcelona play against big teams they are more focused. But when Barcelona play against smaller teams, they are overconfident. and despises the adversary. And this can be one of the reasons for losing points against smaller teams. I would say the coach should fix these things.

Of course, Xavi will make good preparations for Barcelona to play against Real Madrid in the El Clasico match later. But I think, no matter how much preparation Xavi has made for Barcelona this moment, it looks like it will still be difficult to beat Real Madrid at this moment. Because after all, I think that this season Real Madrid has a strong guarantee of domination and good results in every match. Of course, for results in La Liga and also in the Champions League, of course with the availability of Belingham and Vinicius in the current Real Madrid squad.

El clasico is always a much-anticipated match. Although in terms of strength there is a difference, but when these 2 clubs meet then they seem different from usual. 2 Weeks is still quite a long time away, there are matches that they have to pass and maybe between them they have to lose pillar players due to several things, such as injuries for example. I'd like to see those changes first, because there's no doubt it will affect them. Real Madrid are the favorites for now, but they still have some gaps that Barcelona can exploit.

In a league that is quite competitive and often plays big matches in various competitions, Luka Modric is increasingly tired and unable to play optimally for 90 minutes, which is why Ancelotti has to bench him this season. Moreover, at his current age, many football players are certain to retire, but not Luka Modric because he has a winning mentality which makes his determination even stronger even though he is no longer young. Bellingham arrived at the right time and also takes the position that Luka Modric will leave next season. Real Madrid's current squad is very even and there are no gaps at all with the arrival of their newest recruit last summer, it's just that the striker position is still considered unsatisfactory.

Their most recent match was in the United States, witnessing a display of destruction from coach Xavi and his team. Even though it was just a friendly match, the El Clasico match was exciting right from the first minutes. Barcelona crushed Real Madrid with a score of 3-0. When Real Madrid just lost their pillar Karim Benzema.
But now the victory is somewhat in favor of Real Madrid. Their lineup is almost complete. Jude Bellingham is the name that will help Real Madrid avenge the recent feud. Barcelona is showing its weakness without a pillar. We can see they have struggled against small teams. What will coach Xavi do in this situation?

No one doubts the quality and contribution of Luka Modric to Real Madrid and he has proven this so far. I think there are many other young players in Ancelotti's squad who have developed a lot and maybe that is the reason Luka Modric plays more from the bench and is no longer a starter. This is normal because if Luka Modric does not renew his contract, it will not cause the club's performance to decline because they have found the right replacement.

The arrival of Belingham and several other midfielders has also really helped Ancelotti's current team, so that they managed to occupy first place in the standings. Bellingham can play with any midfield that Real Madrid has and I don't think this will affect his performance in contributing to the team.

Not for this season. His total appearance in the main squad has been declining so hard caused by ancellotti prefers to give young players chance to play in the main squad. This is the only way for ancellotti to develop the young players.
Modric has been coming to the end of its career and he shall understand and give the young players a chance to play. He shall not be so greedy and he must be aware if he is aged now. No reason to let him to appear in the main squad often.
The young players need also more experience to prove their quality in front of ancellotti. I hope that ancellotti will try to put camavinga to play as midfielder once modric will leave from the club.
Modric is too old and this is the reality. His era will be gone soon. It's time for the young talented players to shine as soon as possible.

Anyone who believes that Atletico Bilbao can win the League are just people who are very fanatical about this team because in the last few seasons Bilbao have not been able to show their prowess in beating the top teams in the Spanish League then what will they win.
Indeed at the start of this season Bilbao performed quite well and was in fifth place and the first to fourth places were filled by teams that were strong and always dominated their matches by winning.
There are still seven days left for the meeting between Bilbao and Barcelona and this is difficult match for Bilbao if they want to win the match, maybe some people believe that Bilbao can beat Barcelona because Lewandowski is injured but they don't realize that this is Barcelona home match and one of the squad The biggest from Spain has some pretty great front line and defense players.

It is true that Real Madrid has now reached first place with the most points scored they are also always able to beat Sevilla in every meeting in La Liga matches so that in this match even though Sevilla is the host Real Madrid is still the favorite in match.
I not so sure Sevilla will be able to outlast Real Madrid attacks.

Sergio Ramos has lost quite lot of his abilities and for long time he played for Sevilla before moving to several teams and finally returning to Sevilla maybe this player will really end his playing career in the Sevilla squad considering he is 37 years old.

If he is still young, then his role will not be replaced to always fill the Real Madrid midfield. But he is old and at the same time, Real Madrid are also regenerating for their future. I don't think there will be a problem with Modric, because he also realizes that he will not be in the El Real squad for long.
His ability is still very good we have to admit that, but at the same time his speed is also decreasing, something that cannot be covered when he is old.
Despite all that, I appreciate Real Madrid for acting quickly in regenerating, because the regeneration they did did not start this season, but last season they already did it.

Modric's quality is very good.  There are no players who can replace it regularly. So as long as he's still fit enough then I think it's not a hindrance. The management and coach certainly understand the condition of the players, so at this time Modric also started more matches from the reserves. Anceloti has understood that his age will not be effective to play for 90 minutes continuously. Belingham's arrival has helped Anceloti, and he already has a replacement. Although I think Belingham needs friends if it is true later Kroos and Modric

Modric is a great player no doubt. The way he is still performing  at the age of 38 is really admirable. Luka modrich will still be at the top of the list  of midfielders in the world. And he has the ability to step on the field at the last moment and change the overall gameplay of the team. This is why Ancelotti is using  Luka Modric in the second half.
Real Madrid have signed Bellingham  as Luka Modric's replacement. Bellingham is also an excellent midfielder.  I would say Ancelotti has found a worthy replacement for Modrich.
Joselu is considered to  be the most experienced striker in Madrid's  squad. He was third in the list of top scorers in La Liga last season. But maybe Ancelotti doesn't like Joselu. And so despite having such an experienced striker in the squad,  Ancelotti does not give him a place in the starting XI. Ancelotti wants to rely on the performances of Vini and Rodrygo.

Can we see this from the response of Madrid young players? In my opinion, on the contrary, don't misunderstand, Modric often starts at Eleven because his presence is irreplaceable, while Ancelotti current rotation aims to give young players the opportunity to learn more. Basically so far there have been no complaints whatsoever from the young Madrid players sitting on the bench. Doesn't that show how good it is? Next season Modric will still appear for one more season. The agenda for leaving the Arab club could not be separated from the interest that Modric did not expect. So from Modric point of view he will continue with Madrid as long as needed.

It doesn't feel like Luka Modric has reached the end of his career at Real Madrid, he is no longer young and physically no longer strong enough to compete with the young players in Los Blancos midfield. We all know that Modric has the potential to end his tenure at Santiago Bernebeu with three options, retire, move in January or leave on a free transfer in June 2024. I think Modric will leave in January but there is still full speculation regarding his future.

In line with Modric, I am also curious about Toni Kross, whether he will get a contract extension in the short term in the future. Because in terms of age, Kroos is slightly younger than Modric. I personally hope he can stay and get a short contract extension for another season from Madrid.

It's not entirely true because Girona last season was still better than Almeria, it's just that Girona is much better this season, at least that can be seen in the nine matches they have played where they can be ranked second in the standings, while Almeria has not experienced any changes this season and Last season they were just lucky not to be relegated because they were only one point ahead of Valladolid.
Seeing these odds is quite surprising in my opinion because Girona's position is in second place and Almeria is at the bottom, but Girona's odds are not below 1.40 so this is still worth choosing, especially as the host position for Girona, and my prediction is that Girona will continue its positive trend in this match.

Luka Modric is 38 years old and I think his time is about run out at Real Madrid by this season. I don't think there will be another extension of contract with him. Don't get me wrong. He is still playing really decently despite his age. However as long as he continues to be a part of the starting eleven it becomes a hindrance for younger talents to find more chances.

I think we would be likely to watch Modric at a Saudi Arabia team as of next summer. I guess he wouldn't play for many more years before his retirement. Therefore it would be the best for him to make some more money by going there in his last times.
