That's how it works, they may be physically far behind the younger, fresher players, but problem-solving wise they're a great help because of their experience. For example, in a match they are always at a stalemate and it is difficult to find an opening that they can take advantage of, the presence of more experienced players will play an important role there, because with their experience they can find a solution to the deadlock in their attack. Moreover, Real Madrid currently have senior players who are creative in building an attack. Their presence in Real Madrid's midfield over the years has been remarkable.

In fact, Kroos and Modric contracts will also expire at the end of this season and yes, it is unlikely that Real Madrid will extend their contracts either because Kroos and Modric are likely to enter and/or choose to retire. Although maybe they will still play, but it is likely that they will play in a league that does not have the tough competition like Real Madrid and other big European leagues have.

But yes, it seems that Real Madrid has also prepared a team with talented young players for next season when Real Madrid is without Kroos and Modric again. Because after all, Real Madrid already have midfielders who also have great potential and they are Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde and Camavinga. So yes, the Real Madrid squad will still be good and great even if Real Madrid no longer has Kroos and Modric in the squad next season.

How is Real Madrid weak on young players? Has Vinicius and Bellingham failed that badly this season? The season is still early but I know a lot of players from other teams that are so badly profiled with bad stats in just 7-8 games that have been played because they couldn't live to the fans reality after many defeats but Real Madrid has only lost a single match this season and now standing at the top of the table as number 1 and will maintain it while it last.

One of the youngest clubs that played in one of the toughest Leagues (Premier League) is Arsenal, didn't you see how they play and are still standing in the top 4, what is now the exception about Madrid going with young players? In Real Madrid, they win also, age doesn't matter and very soon, the old men you want so badly will leave for Saudi Arabia where they will go and get their own retirement pension.


The fact that he was pleased by a year contract says that he is going to go either after this season or another season after that, nobody enjoy been bench and most of the new players that were all given at least a 3 years contract say a lot, the motive of Real Madrid in my opinion was to encourage the young ones. Kroos will likely do more than that term, his reason for being skipped in some matches might not be really related to the same reason why Modric is benched. I love the new form of Real Madrid even when some people are not too satisfy with the current ways of the team.

We can even refer to the system that Girona implemented against Real Madrid, they used a 4-5-1 pattern. That means, Girona is well aware that their opponents are not the teams they beat in previous matches. This clearly shows that Real Madrid has different qualities above their level. However, so far Girona has shown his best performance before falling to Real Madrid. and currently Girona is in 3rd place in the standings, two points behind Real Madrid.
in 4th position there is an ATM, they are 3 points adrift of Girona. It's just that, ATM has 1 postponed match. which means, Atletico has a chance to shift Girona's position in the next matches. Moreover, if in the next match Girona's performance declines after losing to Real Madrid.

As for Madrid, they are now at the top of the standings. However, it is clear that their position is not in a safe situation, because Barcelona is below them by only one point. Next week, changes in position at the top of the standings may change depending on the two teams playing their match. If Barcelona gets minor results or loses, that means it provides a big opportunity for El Real to increase the difference in points. but if it were the other way around, that would mean that Barcelona had regained the top of the standings. and yep, at least the competition in the next few weeks will be quite exciting for these two teams. there are no other words, other than we enjoy every match presented by La Liga.

Agree with you, senior players are often leaders in the team, both on and off the field. They can provide inspiration, motivation and guidance to younger teammates. Having senior players who have played together for several seasons can help create stability and consistency in the squad.
and most importantly, senior players bring years of experience playing at the highest level. This provides a huge advantage in important situations, especially in high-level competitions such as the Champions League or crucial matches. and Modric and Kroos are two players who still have quality abilities on the field. They can make a significant contribution in terms of play, creativity and control of the tempo of the match.
Team regeneration does not have to mean replacing all senior players with young players at once. This process can be done in stages, with young players gaining experience and playing time while learning from more experienced senior players. Real Madrid have done it and it is important to create a balance between senior and youth players in the squad to achieve long-term success.

WHat a wonderful game! LaLiga this season is on fire! Morata, Griezmann, Correa, and all the Atletico players are in top form. Atlético de Madrid showed an incredible comeback to defeat Cádiz. Correa's outstanding performance, scoring twice, was key in sealing the comeback.

However, it's a bit of a letdown when these exciting moments happen on days when I haven't placed any bets!

Real Madrid prioritizes Modric because of his talent and experience, he is the mainstay of Real Madrid midfield, but I agree with the fans who want a change in the midfield by recruiting another player of Bellingham caliber. Young people are needed because their stamina can be better rather than older players, and to be able to continue competing Real Madrid needs big change. Now with Bellingham, it makes easier for Real Madrid to recruit new players next season, because they have other mainstay players in midfield.

It wouldn't surprise you to think that Girona will have the better of the game, as their opponents Real Madrid are not the type of club to linger with the ball. They prefer a simple and effective style of play that doesn't require a lot of time on the ball, but creates chances that can lead to goals.
If you remember, a few seasons back they were a club that had a deadly counter-attack, especially when Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale were still in the Real Madrid squad. I also rarely saw them dominant in possession.


Real Madrid's decision to keep older players like Modric and Kroos in the squad is because they want to create balance in their squad. I am one of the people who agree with this regeneration, but that does not mean that every position must be filled with young players, they also need senior players who are more experienced of course. This is also done to shape their mentality, because the senior players in the squad now I think we can no longer doubt them in mentality. We've seen a lot of what they can do.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are unlikely to get a contract extension from Real Madrid after their current contracts expire, this could be the last season for both of them playing as Real Madrid players. Kroos can still perform great throughout the season even though he will be 34 years old next January, meaning Kroos is still younger than Modric, who turned 38 last month. Kroos has the possibility to stay at Real Madrid, but that may not be the case with Modric.

Moreover, Real Madrid probably won't get much influence if the two players don't get contract extensions at the end of the season, meaning that Real Madrid still has great midfielders like Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and several others. They are still young and can still improve, so Real Madrid do not lack anything other than composure from senior players.

The talent and experience they both have in football history and in the league is why Real Madrid did not sell them, because if they had left the club, Madrid would not have been in the form they are now because they need players of that caliber to coach and guide the team to success.

But, in the eyes of Real Madrid fans, Jude Bellingham has been a successful addition due of his performance; if Madrid signs more players of his caliber in the middle, they can do without Kronos and Modric.

Both players still got an important role to play in the teams success this season they might not be young enough to start in every match but atleast they could still be played in some important matches and deliver good performance or even serve as a role model to younger ones in the playing ground and I'll really love it if they retire in the team and become legend based on how successful they've been in the club.

 Going to Saudi Arabia for money is not a bad idea also cause it would serve as a retirement funds for him and he'll also contribute to the success of any team he goes over there, however Kross still got more years to still stay at Realmadrid and enjoy football with the new rising stars in the team.

Compare the ages of Modric and Cross, and you can imagine how many more seasons Cross can play in Real Madrid if he wants. Last season, Real Madrid did not have Bellingham, and in the new transfer window, Real Madrid can sign a contract with another talented player, this is not a problem when the club has money. Modric is technically a very talented player, this is what allows him to play at such a high level despite his age, but he will not be able to play at this level for a long time.

If he wants to continue his playing career, he will probably have such an opportunity in other championships, but I think that he will simply end his career and rest for a while. I suspect he doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia for the money.

It's not bad for girona caused by it was losing against a strong team. Real madrid's level is still far higher compared with girona at this moment. I have no doubt if girona was losing against real madrid. The quality of the team said a lot in this match. Girona needs to accept it if real madrid is far better compared with it. This proves that if real madrid is still leading the competition. Barcelona is the only worthy opponent for real madrid. Girona's performance will be questioned for the upcoming match. Atletico madrid seems to be the most suitable team for girona.
Girona can be really helpful for real madrid once it will able to beat barcelona and another club that especially atletico madrid. It's quite surprising how real madrid was destroying it easily.
I hope that everything will be going well for girona. Girona will face cadiz which is obviously if girona will win the game against cadiz

If you say the first goal was classy then the second should have been even better because by utilizing the momentum in a tight corner Roger Marti was able to Chip Shots which deceived Oblak who was too far out of his goalkeeping zone.
But thankfully there was Correa in this game and he was the MOTM of the match as his brace gave Atletico back the 3 points that keep them comfortably in the top 4 and even catch Girona with one game left to play.
Next week we have Sociedad who we know are a dark horse club but before that Atletico must prepare to face Feyenoord in the Champions League.

I think Toni Kroos will play another 2/1 season in a Madrid jersey. Kross is only 33 years old. And Kross's fitness is good enough. So at least two more seasons we will see Kross with Madrid.

Luka Modric is now 38 years old. He is also one of Madrid's most important players. While Modric may stay with Madrid this season, it is very likely that Modric will not be with Madrid next season. Ancelotti brought Bellingham into the squad as Modrich's replacement. Bellingham has adapted to Madrid's gameplay very well. So I would say that Madrid has been able to produce a worthy replacement for Modrich. Now the Madrid management has to find a suitable replacement for Toni Kross.

It is because of the fact that Real Madrid management knows very well that they need the experience of the their veteran midfielders Luka Modric and Toni Kroos that the club made sure they didn't leave during the summer transfer window. But that doesn't mean that they're gonna remain at the club till whenever they'll call it a day in their illustrious career. The young midfielders in the team has the whole of this season to learn from their experience as the two legends of the club might leave at the end of the season.

In the first half I also felt so tense and almost couldn't believe it when I saw the Atletico Madrid defenders being passed so easily by the Cadiz players. I even thought Cadiz's first goal was very classy. And the second goal was a goal that showed how weak Atletico Madrid's defense was. J. Oblak actually made the decision too quickly to move forward. So Roger could trick him very easily because the goal position was unguarded. All of this could happen because perhaps the Atletico Madrid players underestimated Cadiz a little in the first half. Because after that we can see that Atletico Madrid can return to their usual, much better game. The 2 goals scored by Cadiz were truly surprising. And surely everyone who bets on Atletico Madrid must feel the same way. But finally we can breathe a sigh of relief because the match ended with Atletico Madrid winning.

It can be easy to solve financial problems when one day you decide to live according to your income. But if you have already accumulated huge debts (like Barcelona) then this is a different case. Plus, the scandal about bribing referees is gaining momentum and this affects the image of the club; if bribery is proven, the club will simply go bankrupt.
Barcelona has a very precarious position and it is difficult to say how this will end.
As for the Champions League, it is not among the favorites, but rather among the clubs among which anyone can win.

There is a lot of need for experience, a team will never field a completely new player but must have talented and experienced players. Real Madrid are always weak on young players, they are always looking to buy young and talented players. However, in addition to evaluating young players, they also evaluate experienced players enough, if they did not evaluate experienced players, they would not have kept older players like Luka Madrid or Toni Kroos in Real Madrid in this transfer window, only considering the experience of these two stars. Even if these two players are kept in the team, I don't see them in the XI now, I think these two experienced players should be given a chance in the XI, I hope these two stars will not disappoint Real Madrid.

In the Betis match, I really thought they might actually lose. My first impression was anything could happen in that match because both of the teams were not in good form. But luckily they were able to win. And they actually ended up performing far better than I expected they would.

The match was incredible between Almeria and Granada. The match literally could have gone either way. Both of the teams performed really well. And both of the teams hit the post multiple times. Some of them also went in. It was a very entertaining match for anyone to see. By the way, does anyone have any idea about the injury situation of Suarez? He did get substituted because of injury in this match.
