Toni Kroos retirement is Real Madrid biggest loss this season, he plays a vital role in maintaining the depth of the game. Player transitions have not gone as expected, and injury problems have caused Real Madrid to experience a decline in performance at this time. But after the international break, Ancelotti has the opportunity to improve the situation, along with the availability of injured players. The points difference with Barcelona is relatively small, there is hope to catch up in the next 26 matches.

I think Ancelotti is planning to bring in new players in the January transfer market, especially for the right-back position after Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez were injured. Rotation options in Real Madrid back line are now increasingly minimal, young players who have just been promoted may not be a good solution to maintain the opportunity to repeat the success of last season.

Real Madrid is well-known to be one of the best club in European football with having the best stats. Although they've missed out on most of their key players. We're talking about players like Marcelo, Karim Benzema and now Toni Kroos. This is no good news for the club. Toni Kroos retired from professional football and Real Madrid are yet to discover a rare talented midfielder like Kroos. The German presence is felt in the club especially its affecting the game strategy of Carlo Ancelotti. This is weigh out of line if you ask me, the coach just trying hard to mixed up the midfield with new faces and we do know how that play down.

The statistical sample on which you base your argument is almost nil. Although I doubt you understand what I am saying. You could have said that you choose Madrid as the league winner this year because you like them better and it would have the same force of argument as what you said before.

The facts are like that, on average, the favorites for Real Madrid to defend their title this season are Real Madrid fans. While others may have to think twice before saying, this is also because they know that Real Madrid has not won the La Liga title in two consecutive seasons in more than 15 seasons. I don't know exactly in what season Real Madrid won two La Liga titles in two consecutive seasons without looking at the data, I think it was quite a long time before some of these people became diehard fans.

The difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not a big problem because the journey of this season is still very long.

Barcelona's defeat to Sociedad was indeed a bit surprising because Barcelona, who were in top form, failed to win the match, but if we look at Barcelona's performance in the match, I think they still played well, it's just that in that match they were unlucky.

For Real Madrid who are currently trying to rise from their slump, I think they only need to focus on improving their performance, what happened to Barcelona has nothing to do with Real Madrid and I think Barcelona's progress this season has motivated Real Madrid to be better in order to defend the title.

I agree with this, the gap is only 6 points right now with Real missing one game, meaning it could be three points and we could see that change very quickly. So that is why the gap isn't a big one yet. People see Barcelona as "clear favourites" right now because they are not really understanding how Barcelona who beat Real Madrid 4-0 could end up losing the league, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up seeing every game to be like that at all.

Same Barcelona that ended up beating Real Madrid 4-0, ended up losing to real sociedad on their very last game for example, which should be a proof that nothing is certain in football and anything could happen. We need to remember that if Barcelona wants to win the league then they have to end up winning those kind of games. I still think that real has a chance, it's a very tough one with how many players they are missing at the moment but they still have a slim chance to win the league for sure.

Absolutely right Manchester city will not let Rodri go. He is one the key player of Pep team he will never let him to go for others clubs. As far as I know, Rodri will stay longer at Manchester City because Pep has said that he wants more extension with Manchester City as coach. So if Pep stays by himself and Manchester City don't sack him, I can say with certainty that pep will not let him go. He will keep Rodri as part of his team. Apart from Madrid, Barcelona has also shown interest in signing Rodri. On the other hand, Rodri prefers Barcelona. As for now, he wants to stay in Manchester City. If the bill were to go to Spain, then Barcelona is the best place for me. Now in fact there are financial critics of Barcelona and they will not be able to buy Rodri despite Real Madrid having strong enough money they can sign him very easily.

Sure Pep won't let Rodri, Foden, KDB leave Manchester City they are very valuable to him, it's beign a while I've seen AKE played or is it just because I've not been following up...
Thus, even if Rodri will be leaving Mancity, I still doubt Barcelona will get him( I might be wring though) unless he will be settling for a lesser pay because his pay might be high and I still doubt if Barcelona will be free of any financial iss.. until their stadium is completed yet Laporta could be obsessed with the signing as he loves world class players

You have to remember they have a player injury problem. So Real Madrid does not have a choice of players in the best position. Another mistake is that Ancelotti did not think Kros' departure had an extraordinary effect. They did not make the summer transfer effective. So they must immediately get players to improve Real Madrid's weaknesses. The problem of winning the point difference with Barcelona is still in the stage to be pursued. There will still be many matches and there will still be Barcelona losing points

I almost thought for some second you have Real Madrid players username on your Bitcointalk profile until in check again and saw Luzin, thought it was Lunin. Cheesy

Real Madrid remain one of the luckiest players in the history of football, I can see a lot of people are judging them because of the injuries and Anceloti refusal to sign players but they didn't last season but did well except for Bellingham inclusion to the team, it was the same season they won three trophy without having much problems like now.

Anceloti has decided on what to do next, he said the defensive players are the real problem of the team which he promised to fix soon. If the defensive becomes stronger than what we are seeing now, perhaps there is going to be some improvement and beside, we have two young players that join Real Madrid this season, he better make use of them so people don't have to blame him every now and then.

And this is one of the hottest transfer live news:

Source: Rodri would prefer to join Barcelona over Real Madrid

I‘m surprised to l hear about this transfer news. Rodri is the engine of Pep Guardiola’s team, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to let him go. Rodri is the best defensive midfielder in the world right now, Real Madrid is also a world class and an elite club that constantly attracts the best players in the world. However I feel Rodri is not the perfect fit for Real Madrid because of his age, he may struggle to keep up with the intensity of Madrid's playing style and the constant pressure to perform at the highest level. Also if Rodri moves to Real Madrid, he would have to play alongside Vinicius Jr, who was his competitor for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. I don’t think the locker room would be very welcoming to Rodri, so it make perfect sense that he would prefer to move to Barcelona.

Previously we hoped that the arrival of mbappe would have a significant impact on madrid's performance, but instead we saw them far from good and great this season, injuries players and also the retirement of kroos have made madrid much worse and have difficulty competing in la liga and also the UCL, on the other hand, I think hansi flick has managed to use madrid slump to their advantage in the league, so I think the chances of them to be championship this season are very high if madrid can't restore their form and consistency with quickly, I think, ancelotti needs to find a solution soon maybe with bringing in new players in the january transfer window later and I hope that it's not too late for them.

It seems that Ancelotti must bring in or borrow new players in the January transfer market, especially defenders, to maintain the opportunity to retain the trophy this season. It would be very risky if Real Madrid continued to use the available players until the end of the season, while hoping that a number of injured players would recover in time. A player like Alaba who has missed 60 matches certainly needs time to adapt when returning to join the team, so it is very logical for Los Blancos to move in the winter transfer market next.
As for Mbappe, his integration into the team seems to take longer than we expected, and I think that is not too surprising. Clearly, Ancelotti should have found a solution to improve Real Madrid performance in the future.

Barcelona have lost 2 times in La Liga. And that was against Osasuna and Sociedad, who are currently ranked 5th and 7th in the standings. This means that Barcelona can be defeated by a mid-table team or at least another top 10 team. On the other hand, Real Madrid only got 1 defeat and that was against Barcelona. This means that Real Madrid can only be defeated by a team of the same level. Maybe only Atletico Madrid also has a chance to be a challenge for Real Madrid. So I still choose Real Madrid to win La Liga this season.

Barcelona defeat really shocked me because with the way they started the season they performed excellently to the extent that no one thought of their defeating them but it come out as a surprise, Sociedad really surprised me more because since when the came back from international break they tend to be a monster destroying the top two teams which we all know their strength and the quality of players they have, and Real Madrid are behind them with three points different if they manage to win their outstanding match, but let see how the teams will perform after this current break.

Quote

After Tony Kroos left, Real Madrid has a big gap in their midfield. There is no creative midfielder with the playmaking ability like Kroos. They really miss someone who can create chances in various situations. Currently Madrid can only rely on playing from the wing that makes penetration. I hope they can find a midfielder with good playmaking ability to provide a lot of balls to their attackers.

Upto this moment real madrid are still messing Toni Kroos, it really show that Toni Kroos is a legend, his gap hasn't been fill upto this moment, Ancelotti have to try by all means to get a quality young midfielder who can take the place of Toni Kroos to make them enjoy the rest of the season.

It is also possible that Real Madrid are only focused on bringing in attacking players so they are not preparing players for the position left by Kross. Or maybe, because there is still Modric, maybe Ancelotti also thinks Real Madrid's midfield is still safe, but the reality is that so far this season Real Madrid has struggled to get good results in every match. But when it comes to the complete players that Real Madrid has, then I think Real Madrid can still get good results, because basically they have players with great talent. Thus, Real Madrid may feel no need to buy many players, because they have also managed to bring Mbappe.

Yes of course, this season, Man City's condition is already quite tough. and next season, it will also be a much bigger challenge for Man City. not only because some players are rumored to be leaving, but also their head coach, Pep Guardiola who is said not to be extending his contract at Man City when his contract expires in June 2025. And what's worse, several top Man City players are rumored to be leaving, one of them is Rodri.

The race to get Rodri and several other top players to strengthen the squad is happening in the top clubs of La Liga, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid. Yes, because this happened because Rodri's ability is unquestionable, but on the other hand, there are some unpleasant things related to Real Madrid and Rodri at the time of his association with it, namely the Baloon d'Or which was quite controversial at that time and it was really different. ...

In fact, news about Real Madrid's interest in bringing in Rodri in the coming season has been widely reported several months ago. And of course Manchester City is also rumored to be trying to keep Rodri. But the decision will always be in Rodri's hands. And it seems that Rodri also doesn't rule out the possibility of him going back to one of the Laliga clubs, especially Real Madrid. And we know that for Rodri Laliga is like his hometown. Because most of his career was spent there. He defended Villareal for quite a long time starting from Villareal B and continuing to this team Villareal and then moving to Atletico Madrid until finally moving to Manchester City. So I wouldn't be surprised if Rodri returned to Laliga. But to be honest, I also prefer Rodri to choose Barcelona over Real Madrid. because it seems that competition between the players at the Real Madrid club cannot be avoided. there were Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. And I think putting it all together doesn't look so good.

So I'm happy if Rodri chooses Barcelona in the end. But I'm sure Rodri will stay at Manchester City for quite a long time. The contract is still long, namely until 2027.

I see Bellingham as a more important player than any other Real Madrid player. Last season, Bellingham flew high with Real Madrid, constantly "rescuing" the team, scoring 23 goals and 12 assists, contributing greatly to the double of La Liga and Champions League titles. But Bellingham has yet to find his true form at Real Madrid this season, having to play in a different role due to the arrival of Mbappe. He was the player most affected when the French striker arrived at the Bernabeu. Kylian Mbappe is too lazy to run, and Jude Bellingham is doing too many tasks. Carlo Ancelotti needs to solve the balance problem at Real Madrid.

If Real Madrid can win their 13th match in La Liga they will have 30 points but Real Madrid will still be behind Barcelona in the points table. Because Barcelona are already at the top of the points table, even they have won more matches than Real Madrid. There is no doubt that Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid in terms of performance in La Liga this season.

Real Madrid still have one game in hand, The possibility of winning the match is very big because Valencia is not in their best form this season. Barcelona will certainly feel a little pressured with the increasingly close points gap with their rivals, but on the other hand, the pressure from Real Madrid can make Barcelona players even more enthusiastic to achieve maximum results in order to secure the top of the standings.

Barcelona performance under Hansi Flick has been increasingly impressive, winning the El Clasico match indicates that they will try to provide more competitive competition in the title race.

Ancelotti also needs to see the players in the midfield as suppliers of the ball to the attack line because currently Real Madrid is not only weak in defense, but also weak in the midfield so that the players in the attack line cannot score more goals because there are no good passes that they can take advantage of from the players in the midfield. So I also think that Ancelotti will really hunt for several players in the upcoming transfer market in order to increase his strength in the team.

Player hunting may not be exactly what he may need except all the key players are terribly injured that it will take them almost half the season to get back on their feet but with I know for sure it may not last that long before the key players will be back in their feet and he's got a good reserve team which was spoken of at the beginning of the season which gave people more confidence in the team in that even if the first 11 suffers so much of injuries they will still hav a good back up or cover up for the team until they are back but then if the need be it will be that only a few players will be recruited by ancelotti and not a whole lot actually.

I don't understand why De Jong is the highest paid player at Barcelona. When it comes to contribution, I haven't seen anything particularly exceptional from him that justifies the huge salary that he is receiving at the club. Given Barcelona's financial struggles, it would be advisable for the club to offer him a revised contract with more reasonable terms. And if he doesn't agree to it, then it will be in the best interest of Barcelona to part ways with him. The club has a lot of young promising talents who could step up and fill his role.

Frankie De Jong has the highest salary because Barcelona recruited him by offering a high salary and bonuses so that he finally wanted to join Barcelona, it is natural for Barcelona to do that because De Jong is a defensive midfielder who controls many areas with his playing style. Barcelona wants to keep him but with a lower salary they have given a new contract with a salary cut clause but the player has not responded regarding the contract because maybe he thinks he wants to continue to be paid a high salary by Barcelona until his contract ends in 2026.

Which is fine, he could play 1.5 seasons and then leave, and he will not be remembered as a good player, but the player who got paid more than what he deserved. Not that players really care about that, look at Eden Hazard, that dude collected salary for many years without playing a day of football and he left, he is a fat rich old dude now, well not that old, he is still younger than me lol, but you got the gist.

So I am expecting De Jong to not care about what others say, he was a sought after player, he was recruited by so many teams and he only accepted Barcelona because he was offered a lot more there. Barcelona got into this debt mess they are in currently because they were buying players for insane amount of money and they were paying high salaries, De Jong came in that time and before the salary cap ban and all that happened to Barcelona, so after that they didn't had the money to pay that much to anyone. Lets hope that they will do better eventually, and De Jong will eventually be not a problem for them.
