I think Karim Benzema will stay at Real Madrid this season. He is a great striker, and has a lot of experience. He led the Real Madrid team himself and has a unique role behind the achievements of the Real Madrid team.

As you know Benzema was awarded a Ballon d'Or prize at the end of last season. While he was giving a speech after being announced he said that he was willing to even retire at Real Madrid. I wonder what the Real Madrid officials are thinking about this wish. Benzema must have a some kind of special place in their hearts certainly. His contributions to the team so far (especially the one in the previous season Grin

) have been priceless indeed. His services would be needed for a longer time as well.

Even if Real Madrid sign a new top striker next summer I still expect Benzema to remain in the squad. Maybe he can lose his place in the starting eleven in time but he would always be there to do his best when he is given the chance.

Real Madrid seems with long term investment after reach agreement deal transfer Endrick and have to pay more than 72 Million Euro, actually due La Liga and European regulation, Madrid need waiting until two years later and Endrick have 18 years old to be Real Madrid player. Not first time spent much money for recruiting young talented, have memorize with Vinicius Jr contract with expensive transfer values and he still at young age before become talented player right now.

Nowadays, Real Madrid still have problem with center forward and spent more than 73 million euro seems not effective, actually have spent 72 million euro for sign new center forward and can replace Karim Benzema position after many time absent due injured.

I was thinking about this, and I feel like this is way too long term. I remember them getting vini and rodyrgo as well when they were young, and that is understandable because they had other players to play in those positions, and then slowly they grew up under their wins.

Today, if Endrick comes in 2024, that would mean Benzema would be already very old, and we are talking about a huge difference in age as well, by the time Endrick was born, Benzema was already playing professional football in big clubs, not like his first start or anything, was already on his way to be good. So, it is going to be tough to make that gap, if Benzema was 30, this would have worked, even 32-33 is a good push, but 34-35 now? 37 or so when he gets there? That's tough.

Barcelona will continue to be coached by Xavi. But Xavi needs to have some achievements under his belt to say that he is actually the deserving coach of Barcelona. He needs to win the La Liga title this time with Barcelona. At this point, this is not a question of whether he will stay on as the coach of Barcelona or not, it is about proving a point.

I think the Barcelona management should give Xavi a lot of time. Of course it was very hard for Xavi if several people demanded that he immediately give the title to Barcelona. In my opinion, this will not be easy, because Xavi will need several more seasons to reassemble the Blaugrana's playing framework, which fell apart when handled by Koeman. Now under Xavi's command, Barcelona's game has improved again, even though it hasn't been very consistent, but its performance deserves appreciation.

Real Madrid still have a big budget, and can buy almost any player they want. They got a talent for 60 million from Brazil. I think he played in the Brazilian league. Madrid also has good scouts, who once also snatched Luka Mdoric in the league elsewhere. But maybe it won't be as exciting as we think in the competition. I have the impression that Barcelona may collapse very quickly in the coming rounds. Madrid will have been put on edge with Benzema by the last lesser games in the competition.

What is certain is that Real Madrid will definitely continue to train until it becomes suitable for Real Madrid's game, Endrick is only 16 years old, at least when he was a child he will be nurtured properly by the management and once he is ready he will definitely be announced as the main player for Real Madrid and maybe he will be on the same level as Vinicius later.

There are suggestions that Karim Benzema has recovered from his injury which could confirm that Real Madrid are ready to field him, however this is not certain these are just rumours and there has been no clear decision he will play in LaLiga again after injury.
As for Real Madrid, they are looking for players to replace Benzema later, the rumors have been around for a long time, but Real Madrid don't have a definite target, but maybe we'll find out in this winter's transfer window.

There are at least 2 years for Madrid now, making Endrick even better because if I'm not mistaken, the limit for being and being a player in La Liga is 18 years, so this has been confirmed as their long-term project like Vini and Rodrygo before.
As for Benzema's problem, he will indeed continue to play at least until his contract expires because he has also just signed a new contract and of course he is expected to play even though the vulnerability of his feet still needs to be worried about.

Barcelona is trying to improve its reputation by winning in La Liga and in this way it is hoped that Barcelona will be able to get new investors or additional funds for their team because with their achievements they should be able to increase funds and make Barcelona's finances recover.

The problem is there is no certainty either for them to win I think and this is a gamble for them. Maybe it's true, when they win they will be able to bring in some new investors but the worst possibility is what if they don't make it back and fail just like the previous season.
I think it's worse than before if they fail and their current actions are too bold in my opinion because in this case it's clear the risk is quite big.

Barcelona sacking Xavi can be the worst decision to take that will lead to regret. If xavi is sacked who knows the next coach will even become worst than xavi. Barcelona needs to be patient with xavi to see the best that can come from him. If Barcelona sacks xavi the team can be like Barcelona of the days of Ronald Koeman. Xavi is a good coach that Barcelona needs, the problem of Barcelona is not xavi. The problem of Barcelona is finance to sign in best players. When a team has players that good their is no how their wont be outcome of good result in every match.

Barcelona's main problems are undoubtedly financial, but I wouldn't say that Xavi is not a problem. Besides being an inexperienced coach, he is a very good player in the first place - it's a problem to be a coach as sometimes he doesn't understand that players can't do things that he could when he was a player. Secondly, in my opinion, he is a bad coach because he is not at all flexible. Throughout his career, he came to success through one strategy both in the national team and in the club. And he tries to repeat it without realizing that football is changing and what worked yesterday will not work tomorrow.

The problem now is that Xavi is too obsessed with strikers, I think because right now, before the transfer was opened, there had been some conversations that they still wanted to bring Silva from Manchester City, even though with Silva's current condition, of course he would be very expensive, on the other hand, there are already a lot of attacking players. for them and they also still need players in defense. Is this really too selfish because it looks like it's good enough even though in defense they have to be prepared to lose Alba and Busquets.

A derby is waiting for barcelona after the world cup but espanyol team doesn't pose much a threat for them since they are struggling with five games without a win plus the game will be in the camp Nou it will be an easy win in my opinion if they perform the same as they did before the break.

Even though this is often called the Derby, with the conditions between the two teams, we actually already know what will happen in the future.
The performance of these two teams is very inversely proportional and this season everything has hardly changed because indeed Espanyol is also not in good shape with 2 defeats and 3 draws in their last 5 matches.
I might even feel this will be an easy win for Barcelona later.

I think when I say the previous coach was below standard it's also a bit inaccurate because looking at Koeman's condition actually he's also a good coach and it's proven that he won several titles in the Eredivisie but Barcelona and him have a mismatch and it's too short so things like season happen. yesterday.
As for Xavi, he knows what he has to do because he already knows the ins and outs of Barcelona so it becomes easy to direct but right now I also can't say that Xavi is a good coach especially since there hasn't been any achievement for him other than bringing Barcelona to better direction than last season but not a guarantee. As long as he still doesn't get a trophy he is still nothing and this season is a betting season for Xavi because if he doesn't bring a trophy he will also be labeled a failure.

And I think that’s why it is very significant for Xavi to win the La Liga title this time with Barcelona. This would mean he has something to show for. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people pointing fingers at him. You know, a lot of people are already pointing fingers at him. Seeing that he just brought in some expensive players, he didn’t do anything else for Barcelona.

No, I do not necessarily agree with them. But statistically, I cannot counter them with anything. And that is going to be the same situation for him as well. Now I do not think that he is about to be sacked if he ends up making Barcelona finish in the second position. However, Barcelona needs to win the La Liga title to solidify his position as coach.

Real will definitely need a transition striker for sure, without a doubt. They need someone who is like 30 years old at most, if younger that would be great but if that players turns out great then don't know what will happen with Endrick. Getting a 16 year old is a very very weird situation, I mean it may take as long as at least 6 years for him to be ready to start at striker position, which is why I feel like its not going to be simple. A player they might get like Jesus would be closer to retirement by the time Endrick is ready to play for example. Not an easy decision for sure.

Will Endrick play for Real Madrid this season? Because it looks like Endrick will only join Real Madrid in 2024, at least there are still two years ahead for Endrick to be able to prepare everything even better. Maybe, there is an age limit for young players who can play for the main squad in the league and professional teams. Therefore, even though Real Madrid had made a transaction, Endrick did not immediately move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Considering that Endrick himself doesn't have much experience playing in different leagues and clubs, then of course it would be a big risk if Real Madrid took him right now.

With this transaction, of course, it is a great achievement that Endrick has had at a young age, because at his young age and not much experience, Real Madrid has seen the great potential that exists in Endrick and this opportunity is very rare for young players out there.
It will be interesting to wait for what big steps Endrick will make, because if during the two-year period before joining the Real Madrid main squad, Endrick did not have any achievements, then of course that would be a cause for concern as well.

Real Madrid have always been known by their finding this kind of talented youngsters from different places over the world and growing them here to be a solid player. They don't aim to sell this kind of players quickly after they reach their potential as well. Because Real Madrid love to build a brand new strong team with new generation players. Tchouameni and Camavinga are already good examples for this. They are here to take Kroos and Modric's places in the starting eleven in the future.

Endrick transfer has also been made with the same goal but he will need to wait for at least a couple of years at least to become a prominent player. It would be great to watch him being a player like Vinicius Jr. Because Vinicius Jr is already one of the crucial parts of the team with his high talent.

Real Madrid are favorites for La Liga. They have quite a chance to win the La Liga title. They have a great XI, who are in good form. If they replace Benzema with a good forward, the team will be stronger.

Sure, Karim Benzima will stay at Real Madrid this season because there is no serious talk of him leaving the club anytime soon; he is happy in Madrid and will likely stay there until his retirement because Real Madrid has turned him into a great player. He is the best player in the world, and that recognition was achieved by Benzima in Real Madrid, so they did very well to keep him to this point. I believe they need a strong striker like Napoli's Oshimen as his replacement before releasing him.

If he recovers, he will definitely play in LaLiga again for the rest of this season. Real Madrid, need the services of Benzema as a pure of a striker, them no have other choice to not play him, but I guess Real Madrid will still sign several new players this winter transfer window. To at least have other player options if Benzema is injured again, meanwhile Endrick Felipe still cannot play for Real Madrid due to his age, so maybe at there will be another striker for Real Madrid.

Of course, it is the signing of Real Madrid's long-term project regarding his future squad. I don't know if Endrick will suit Real Madrid's game, but of course he is a young player who still has a lot to learn before breaking into Real Madrid's main squad later.

We may see Real Madrid sign some of the top players in the transfer market, they will have to especially now that Benzema cannot be expected to be fully fit for the remainder of the season. Benzema has been injured several times this season, and really Real Madrid should see that as a reason why they should bring in new players.

With several players of Brazilian blood now at Real Madrid, I think that will help him with the adaptation process. Yes, he still needs to learn a lot to improve his abilities so that he can be even more optimal. He is still very young now, and at that age usually players will be unstable in their performance. So it must be ensured that Endrick can develop well at Real Madrid. I feel that with the ability that Real Madrid has to cultivate young players, I'm sure he will become a player that can be relied on in the future.
Previously we still needed time to see his first debut with Real Madrid. It's still a long time away, so I want to see that Real Madrid make the right decision for this wonderkid.

I also think that this transfer is open to discussion now. A deal worth 72 milion euros in total is really huge for a 16-year-old player. Real Madrid scouts must be thinking like Endrick is one of the probable future legends or something like that. Otherwise this deal would be like madness for them. Because they could have used this money to strengthen the team in January as well.

There are so many talents waiting to be discovered in Brazil actually. I hope Endrick becomes one of them and makes us watch great performances. I would be glad to see him being very successful at young age just as Haaland is now.

Nowadays, Real Madrid still have problem with center forward and spent more than 73 million euro seems not effective, actually have spent 72 million euro for sign new center forward and can replace Karim Benzema position after many time absent due injured.

Because after all Madrid still has Karim Benzema, who has recovered from his injury and he is still very reliable for Real Madrid, at least until the end of this season. I'm sure the Madrid management already have several names on their radar list, for them to target as potential replacements for Benzema later. So, we don't have to worry about what Madrid's management is doing. Moreover, several names have been linked, such as Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, who are ready to replace Karim Benzema's role later.

As for Endrick. yes, Real Madrid had to pour out sizable funds with player investments instead. Endrick has also been chased by several other giant clubs such as PSG and Barcelona. so it's only natural that Madrid wants to secure this boy as one of Madrid's future prospects.

I think Karim Benzema will stay at Real Madrid this season. He is a great striker, and has a lot of experience. He led the Real Madrid team himself and has a unique role behind the achievements of the Real Madrid team.

In essence, if a team feels unimportant in playing in a certain tournament, then they can go and let their opponent walk out (WO) to win, does Barcelona dare to do that?
If Barcelona thinks the Europa League is not important, then let the opposing team win and Barcelona don't need to come to the field or don't need to come to the match, and at least that way Barcelona doesn't need to spend money.

I agree with this because especially it would be very funny if Barcelona now, who are sure to lose financially because they failed in the Champions League, still think that the Europa League is not very important, even though this can be used as an option to make them get a little advantage to offset losses. gained from their failures.

Winning tournaments can help Barcelona finances, compensation from the Champion in official competitions can balance Barcelona finances. Barcelona will not consider La Liga more important than the Europa League, at the moment All trophies are very important for Barcelona.
The direction of Barcelona to become a Champion has been seen, even though they have been eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona is still able to survive in first place in La Liga. Meanwhile in the Europa League, Barcelona must be able to beat Manchester United to move on to the next round.

Yes, if it is certain that Barcelona will win the La Liga title then maybe it is natural for Barcelona to consider the European League not important. But in fact, Barcelona also at this moment still can't guarantee to win the La Liga title, right? Because the gap in points is very close to Real Madrid, at least Barcelona still can't guarantee to win the La Liga title this season.
Therefore, whatever tournament Barceoa is currently part of, of course it will be an important tournament for Barcelona.

Maybe the main goal is not to chase income or profits and or bonuses that will be obtained, but they must realize that as a big team, Barcelona should be able to win a title from one of the existing tournaments this season.
If later Barcelona won the La Liga title and can also maximize to win the Europa League title, then of course that would be very good, right. There's nothing wrong with or a low prestige to get a title, because when they do get the title they will be respected of course and that will have a good impact on the team as well.

Between Barcelona and Real Madrid, either team has a 100 percent chance of winning the La Liga title. These two teams are considered as the best team in La Liga till now, and these two teams are at the top of the points table.
