Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 186. (Read 555462 times)

In my opinion, Barcelona needed to become champions and win the European Champions League to improve their financial condition, but with these bad results in the last games in La Liga, I sincerely doubt that Barcelona will become champions this season and as I am a fan of Real Madrid I am happy that Barcelona continues to be weak, that way this season we will be champions again, I think that Real Madrid's biggest problem this season will be Atlético Madrid who I don't know why they are having so much luck in winning the games

Imo the win against Barcelona isn't a good win of all the win they been having back recently in their previous games, not saying they didn't deserve the win but Barcelona was just been wasteful, trying same thing they did to Barcelona could result in a good margin so they need to come up with a better strategy to balance their defence and attacking at the same time .
Hence , if they play one of their good games once again then they have a good chance against Leverkusen (from my view), let's wait for the outcome anyways but I expect a good outcome for them against  Lev....

Now in January if we have players which are important, and they have chance to bring them surely this will bring good changes because currently situation is still not bad as we have on papers 2 and 3 points lead is recoverable while we have half of season remaining.

however, Barca's victory gives them a chance to be at the top of the standings, it's very good with the achievement of each match that is better than Barca. we know that currently, Barca is in a bad situation with some bad results that they received. although the difference in points is very small, we can see Barca receiving more defeats at this time. the competition between Madrid and Atletico will continue and we will see how strong and consistent Atletico can maintain their position.

It's fine..
Besides, I never mentioned Athletico Madrid's performance not been good generally neither although if I'm to judge against Barcelona, it was somehow average but the diffence is solid.. all I'm insinuating on is just the strategy, it failed at some point against Barcelona  as they were dominant through out the particular game it's just that they missed all the chance they got (Barcelona).
I don't have any problem with their strategy but they need to balance it a little another just luring them to the defence all the time, in fact I added they stand a good chance to take over Leverkusen in UCL but I hope that particular strategy doesn't land them in trouble.. 

Honestly, I do not see "worse" with Flick compared to Xavi's last season. As everyone can see from the stats, when Barcelona won the league of course Xavi was doing good, but the reason he was fired because he didn't do so well last season and he wasn't really good with management neither, that is why they fired him, he even wanted to resign before he got fired, so the team basically decided if Xavi doesn't want them, they do not want him.

Flick isn't doing that bad compared to last season of Xavi, and I believe if he could go back to how they started this season then they could lead again. If they could go six out of six again, they would lead the league I am sure, because both Madrid teams would lose points eventually.

This comparison isn't soothing enough as the only fact in this comparison is one that i don't see complete, all the while Ronaldo was at Madrid i believe he did more than 13 goal and Mbappe achieving that mark already isn't enough to have seen him to be better than Ronaldo who won some trophies at Madrid and now Mbappe who is just new at Madrid and is yet to have won any trophy or made any spectacular record at Madrid to someone who years back has been able to set wonderful records and achieved so much at Madrid and even in other clubs, one which Mbappe had not.

No offence, but Atlético Madrid's performance is still good, no doubt, but one thing that I will accept from you is that the strategy that they are using in all their games has been noticed by many other teams, but still the strategy is favouring them, which means if they put a lot of effort into their performance, then they will achieve a very amazing result, even though I am sure that they will not take much time at the top of the table.

 But still, for Barcelona to make it back to the top, then a lot needs to be done because this is the opportunity that Real Madrid has been waiting for, so they will not like to lose against any of the teams that they will play with, which is the same for Atlético Madrid, so let's accept the fact that Barcelona has already been defeated.

If Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid manage to secure full points in their respective postponed matches, it will be increasingly difficult for Barcelona to reclaim the top of the La Liga standings. I think recruiting new players so that Barcelona can get additional energy seems difficult to realize, because Barcelona is still not free from financial difficulties.

despite the challenges Barcelona players experience from some teams, they are still leading in the la Liga league competition which there is a hope for them to recover from the challenges and start displaying what they where displaying from the beginning of this season. I think, Barcelona head coach will definitely work on that to make the team to start performing well again to withstand their opponents to embrace points that will make their gap higher than any other teams in the la Liga league table. If not the injuries Barcelona players experience from some matches, what do you think would have made them to experience all those challenges, they where able to defeated Real Madrid and other strong teams to prove to people how serious they are to win the title before the injury started happening to their players which is the caused of the poor performance currently.

Interestingly, Real Madrid will play earlier in 2025 against Valencia. And if Real Madrid are able to win this match, then they will shift Atletico who are at the top of the standings. However, keep in mind that just like Real Madrid, Atletico have also only played 18 matches, so if Real Madrid manages to top the standings, then at any time Atletico can reclaim the top position.

and regarding Barcelona, ​​​​they are also not too far behind, where there is only a difference of 2 points with Real Madrid and only 3 points with Atletico, so if they are able to return to winning ways, Barcelona can still compete tightly for the top position. However, if Barcelona is unable to return to winning ways, then at any time Atletico Bilbao could shift Barcelona's position considering that the difference in points between Bilbao and Barcelona is not too far, where there is only a difference of two points.

Actually Barcelona does not need to make a big transfer and stay focused with better players on defense. Because what I see today Barcelona has weaknesses that are clearly visible in defenses that are starting to lose consistent.
So that in this way Barcelona does not need to recruit expensive players on the attack line or middle midfielder.
When Barcelona's finances are in a bad condition but Barcelona has a lot of experience that becomes the strength to maintain the current performance and reputation conditions even though only with ordinary players.
And we'll see how well the new coach will bring new players in the transfer market later and I am curious whether the coach is able to know what he should do.

It makes sense as you say. Because actually the tik flick tactic is right, it's just that the players who run it still have minimal experience and Barcelona is filled with many ambitious young players. The proof is that Flick's tactics at Bayern Munich are the same but why is it better at Bayern Munich, the tactics even work well. This is all because the players who run it at that time were in their best form and also mentally experienced. What Barcelona is facing now is natural because it is filled with young players, maybe next season Barcelona will be more mature because Flick needs time and process to build a strong squad.

If we talk about statistics by comparing it with the previous coach, then it will not be comparable if we only look at it from the point of view. because Xabi is not good in European competitions while Barcelona has been good in the UCL league so far. The problem is, Xavi has no plan for the match in his second year, Xavi has no other plan and doesn't know how to play this team to make it stronger, all he does is complain and find reasons to have young players, and this is the reason why Xavi was fired. On the other hand, Hansi has a plan and the only reason Barcelona are dropping points easily at the moment is because of the lack of finishing, maybe this will be Flick's main job at Barcelona.

Win against Barcelona give them good confidence and now their players are surely feeling better while they will be in good touch after this break their Champions League direct chances for going into next round are looking not good, but their game against Bayer Leverkusen is surely going to have good for them which will give them fair chance for keeping them at the better spot.
