Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1827. (Read 525731 times)

Isn't that what makes La Liga interesting? Instead of seeing Madrid and Barcelona continue to dominate the league, they have another team that they don't expect to be able to compete, which would be fun.
Regarding Gerona, 4 matches without defeat with 1 draw against Real Sociedad. that's good enough for Gerona. but they also got a win against a team that I don't think is very strong. but anyway this is a good momentum for Gerona to collect as many points as they can when they play against weaker teams.
however the new league starts, those who look powerful at the beginning can also be seen to be inconsistent in the middle of the season or even struggle at the end of the season.

It must be admitted that so far Barcelona's game is still not optimal and it seems that Xavi is aware of that. I agree that it is still in its early stages and the Barca players may still need time to find chemistry between players. But this is also a warning for Xavi to evaluate so that the team's play is not monotonous. If you look at the squad this season they are stronger than last season, so it's only natural that Barca fans set big targets to be able to defend the title.

I personally do not want Ramos to play at Sevilla, because at least Ramos will play against Real Madrid later. Therefore, maybe Ramos will tarnish his loyalty to Real Madrid, and a case like this maybe remind me when Lampard played at Manchester City at the time. What's worse, Lampard made a goal when Lampard playing for Manchester City against Chelsea at that time. Although yea, at least I also really appreciate Ramos, because Ramos is not tempted by big money because Ramos also rejected an offer from a club in the Saudi Pro League. But yes, that doesn't mean Ramos has to be Real Madrid enemy in La Liga.

The fact that Girona is winning every game they play in makes their performance seem surprising to me as well, but I don't think they can win the league because Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are the three strongest teams, and Girona isn't strong enough to beat all the other teams in laliga. People believed that Barcelona would not be able to achieve any good positions this season after their opening league games ended in draws, but I believe that Barcelona's performance is improving because, when examining their matches, you can see that when Barcelona play their matches, they defeat their opponents.

This season's leagues are going to be difficult because many teams have improved their performances with young players, and if a team has young players and mixes them with older players, their performance will be good. Let's take Real Madrid as an example; Real Madrid has many young players and they have older players like kroos, modric, and cavaja; these players are Real Madrid legend players; they always teach the younger ones how to score goals and how to appear quickly, most especially kroos, he really makes real Madrid performance change any time in his in the field.

Sergio Ramos gave the reason why he chose to return to Sevilla rather than accept an offer from another team because it was a feeling of respect for his father and grandfather who had been fans of Sevilla for a long time. Even though Al-Ittihad offered a salary of 30 million euros, Galatasaray gave a salary of 8 million euros, while Sevilla only gave a salary of 1 million euros and he preferred to return to his old club, which he had left for 18 years. From this we can see why he turned down the big offer and maybe indeed returning home is what he needs most right now rather than making more money elsewhere. I think it's likely that Sevilla will be his retirement place and it's unlikely he'll be interested in trying something at another team.

Sevilla? Sevilla's coach was mendilibar, and he is still coaching the club. You were mentioning villareal's coach. You're mentioning the wrong picture as well caused by it was not mendilibar which was villareal's coach. Even mendilibar has still commented on the result against manchester city a few weeks ago.

Setien has no relationship with sevilla. Villareal has fired him https://apnews.com/article/villarreal-quique-setien-fired-b4c2d018ce46fb06fb7aa8f3c3371db4

The director of club was not feeling satisfied with villareal's performance. Villreal faced three losses from 4 matches. We can consider it as a very bad result from him. It's not surprising me to see that if villareal was kicking out its coach.

I hope that villareal will able to hire a better coach than him. The club has a strong desire to get back to the top of the table and is searching for someone who can perfectly accomplish this goal.

3 wins and 1 draw is still pretty decent in my opinion. Barcelona is still in the early stages of the season so I believe Xavi has the players he wants last season he did well but this season will be even better. Barcelona has received a lot of injections of quality players such as Gundogan, Cancelo, and Joao Felix, I think despite the financial crisis that Barcelona is experiencing, it will still be the most difficult club to beat.

Sergio Ramos will be the biggest curiosity in the match between Sevilla and Real Madrid. He will play for Sevilla and I hope it will not be like the process after CR7's return to Manchester United. At Manchester United, Ronaldo had to leave with great sadness. I hope Ramos will not have such problems with Sevilla's jersey.

Last week I commented that it wouldn't take long to fire Sevilla's coach if results didn't improve and today I see this news:

The strangest thing about this is that last season Sevilla was losing a lot to the point of reaching the relegation zone, so because of the bad results the club's management decided to fire the coach and in his place they hired the current coach who ended up being fired , it was this current coach who is being fired who took Sevilla out of relegation and also won the European league last season, but now this season Sevilla have not won in the 3 games they played in the league and are in the last place in the table, really, when you look at the table you realize that they are in a serious situation, but the league is starting

It's true that Sevilla played 3 games against very weak teams and still lost, when they should have at least won 2 games and got 1 draw, that is, in those 3 games the normal thing would have been for Sevilla to have managed to get at least 7 points, but So who is to blame for Sevilla's poor results? We need to go back a little to last season, Sevilla was weak last season, although with the new coach they managed to get some good results in the league, but the problem is that in this transfer window Sevilla didn't make any big signings for the attack, so according to the  https://www.transfermarkt.pt/sevilha-fc/transferrekorde/verein/368/saison_id/2023  

I'm not seeing any signing of strikers or even any mid-level strikers. which shows that the squad was not properly improved while the squad of Sevilla's other opponents in the league were improving their squads and this meant that Sevilla became the weak team and the other teams became strong, so even if the current coach uses the same strategy as last season, things are not going well. Now I wonder: with the transfer market almost closing, what will the new coach do? He will have to use the same squad, I wonder why the Sevilla management didn't make the decision to fire the coach sooner? Well, we'll see who the next coach will be

If you look at the match, you have to say that Osasuna deserved at least a draw. It was great that Osasuna never gave up, even with 10 players they never gave up and continued to be enthusiastic even though in the end they lost due to a penalty. Yes, I like Osasuna players, they are really great at shooting hard in tight spaces.

Agree, Lewandowski is no longer the same as last season, even though this season he can still be relied on, this can be seen when other players are stuck when scoring goals, he always appears as a savior. But I see that Barcelona still needs to change its strategy in the next matches, Barcelona's performance is still bad, even against a club like Osasuna they are struggling to win. Moreover, in the Ucl, the top 16 will be stuck at best if their performance continues like this.

You are right, Barcelona's performance in the 23/24 season is not as good as last season. Barcelona dominated La Liga last season. This season has yet to show half of that. There are some problems among the players of the Barcelona team. It is often observed that the Barcelona team players play randomly. I hope the Barcelona coach will be able to solve the problem in a short time. The coach of the Barcelona team is a very intelligent and experienced coach. I thrive as a Barcelona supporter

Actually, looking at Xavi's positioning and strategy, I think it would be better if he tried Ferran or Ansu as wingers and Gavi returned to his normal position.
Although they are still doing quite well in terms of results, but if you look at their intensity, especially in terms of goal productivity, I think this is indeed a problem for Barcelona.
Lewandowski is a forward waiting in the wings to finish, but he rarely gets a decent ball in matches with several opposing defenders marking him.

I agree because instead of trying to take the initiative to recover the ball against a club that plays tiki taka it is better to wait and strengthen the defense so their tiki taka cannot penetrate the box.
Things like this happen often now so that Barcelona's attack pattern is always readable because they have difficulty penetrating the defense and only play with ball possession.
A few seasons ago this might have been effective but now it seems difficult to use in multiple games continuously.

Luck was still on Barcelona side after the referee awarded a penalty before the end of normal time, Lewandowski was able to make it 2-1 after successfully breaking into Osasuna goal with his kick. An important victory for Barcelona as well as saving them from a draw due to the impressive performance of the Osasuna players. Barcelona appeared as a full team in this match, but their game was not as usual. Barcelona defense, which was very strong last season, needs to be maintained this season. After the four matches that have been played, Barcelona defense is still easy for opposing players to penetrate.

This move simply says a lot and I like you said did not expect him to turn down such offers from the east and Turkish sides to get him signed up. Sevilla will be very happy, for they are in a condition which will definitely lead to relegation this season, they need leadership from the defense and with the presence of the Champions League Sergio Ramos made the best decision.
The defense of Sevilla is not strong they have conceded nine times they have played this season one during the match against Manchester City and the other against the Premier League clubs the have faced, Ramos will help them improve the defense in the league and Champions League. Arsenal fans should be ready for war during the champions league.

Well that's right. Even though he is old he can still maintain the skills he has. It's just that age can never lie to anyone. And so is Robert Lewandowski. The speed he had before was now starting to decrease. But still Barcelona still really need him. Because yes, he is still the best, even beating several young strikers currently available. I personally also hope that at least he should have more awards in Europe. In Poland he has collected many awards. And in Europe he has also lifted the trophy with the club he is currently visiting. But still, it won't be long before the position could be shifted by other young players.

That's good because Ramos doesn't want money to play in the Arab league, at least maybe it's also true that he wants to spend his time in Seville until he retires because there are no players like him who refused high fees from the Arab league including Mbappe who was also offered at high prices but not in rejected by Mbappe, even so Mbappe is still relatively young so there is still time for him to continue to exist in the European leagues while Ramos may be considered to have a decreased performance considering his age which may be considered difficult to be an active football player.

I think Sevilla can rely on Ramos playing in the back line, they can at least make the defense a little stronger if Ramos plays in their main squad, at least Ramos can give his best performance for Sevilla and show Sevilla fans that he can make Sevilla a strong club from defense aspect.

Yes, I agree. Although Lewandowski is old, his performance can still be considered top-notch. Along with Giroud, they can be counted among the top quality senior strikers. Had Lewandowski performed a few years ago, he could have won big awards this year. What a pity that despite such a high performance, he did not receive the top award.

Osasuna should be appreciated in that match because they managed to make it difficult for Barcelona very well. Even the goal scored by Luis Ezequiel "Chimy" Ávila in the 76th minute was extraordinary. A very hard kick even though it was from a position that was actually quite difficult. Osasuna has players who played with maximum strength in this match.

Barcelona actually has an opportunity that doesn't lose much in this match. And it can be said that Barcelona also played very well. But I think Robert Lewandowski is indeed getting older. The performance is not as good as last season. It's a little slow now. But still the quality is still good compared to other ordinary players. So he can still be relied on.

Joy yes, I am also sure that a lot of people are going to warmly welcome him, but is he still able to help a club that is in deep trouble? He doesn't have any superstars to his left and right and that is what he is used to during his career, but that's a big difference now.

I understand the move made by Sevilla, but I am not sure what to expect from that transfer. It could go either way and nobody really wants to finish a career when it is going down steeply with performance. Maybe he can do something about their situation with all the experience he has.

Yes, maybe he will retire there or move to MLS or the Saudi Arabian League. It will be Ramos' reunion after almost 20 years of him going to Madrid and PSG. There was actually a serious problem when he returned to Sevilla. Ramos is not on good terms with the Sevilla supporters. But Ramos came humble. He came directly apologizing to the supporters. Maybe it's a good start, maybe it will be interesting if Sevilla play Real Madrid.
