Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹

Real Madrid has some players that are good on their bench but they are not used most often by Anceloti to demonstrate their effort on the big games. He is using a set and doesn't make changes often, though it's good because what he aim is always achieved and what is the used of changing players when clearly he can win the game with the main squad that he has, perhaps the bench ones will used this opportunity to show him their best.


I quite respect the way Ancelotti manages his team, having the first 11 squads always in the forefront and preparing other good players as alternatives too. It shows how he understands the stamina of his squad and where and when to shuffle them. He's a coach that works with much calculations and always ready to take decisions while withstanding the demands that comes with working with such a top class team which sometimes suffer player injuries and instability in the understanding of the old and new players.
I have never doubted the coaching prowess of Ancelotti, I had believed him so many times and he didn't fail. Even if Real Madrid didn't win either Laliga or CL this season, I'll attribute the failure to the players and not the coach. There is existing cracks amongst these young stars and it's expected to happen. I will only blame Ancelotti for keeping all of them in the same team. Vini and Rodrygo Is enough big names for Madrid forward. Mbappe factor is for induced competition among team mates which sometimes might not be healthy for the team.

Which is how Madrid is playing, and people believe they aren't trying, making it harder for them to score goals in the league. I believe Ancelotti will return to fitness and score goals, challenging other teams in other competitions. Barcelona is doing well this season, and no one believes they will be stronger this season because they do not have enough money to buy key players for the team, but even with the small players they have, they are dominating the league and believe they can be champions this season

Let's see how the competition ends, all Madrid fans anticipate Madrid to do well because they have Mbappe, but he isn't in great shape and can't score goals like he did at PSG. Mbappe will need time to fully understand Madrid, as the competition is more interesting and has more challenging clubs. I don't blame him if he isn't performing well, as I believe he will gradually improve his fitness. Many of his goals in the competition are penalties, Ancelotti need to do something different so that Mbappe can get more chances to score goals.

Yes but I think people thought it will be a close season as Barcelona has been doing well now. It depended on Mbappe and I admit I thought that Madrid would be stronger with him. Now Ancelotti said that they are having problems replacing Kroos as it now becomes obvious how much of an impact he had on the game. Sometimes you can't see it until the player is not playing anymore. Kroos has barely been a spectacular player, but he had this high level consistency that made him the central of their game. Mbappe is not being put into the right place in the right time. Kroos was amazing at doing that.

Team like Real Madrid should have good players or worldclass players in their bench as backup for such situation when injuries are coming to affect the starting eleven players, but they literary don't that enough quality players in their bench which is why some of their fans are already making that as an excuse in case if they lose their match against Barcelona.

If someone come and say that Madrid don't have squad depth, their fans will come for that person, and it is a plain truth they need to believe in; moreover, their defense is not as strong as they may expect which is why they are looking for possible solutions before the January transfer windows; but if they continue like this, they will definitely suffer at some points because some players will surely get injured.

I'm not sure you know Real Madrid defense for you to say they have weak defense system. As long a Mendy, Rodrigo and Alaba are still healthy and not injure like the rest or the defenders, Real Madrid are good and will fight in any match they have unless they are overwhelm by the team they play against. As long as the defenders will do their jobs and forward do the same, they will have chance to win.

If a team wants to look down on their performance just because they don’t have their first eleven complete and healthy to play, that fear will kill their chances of making it in that match and will lead them to a very big defeat in the game. Real Madrid is not a team that should rely on only a few set of players, their back up substitution in every game should make them a worthy team in any match they play in. Barcelona might be ahead of them in the standings but that doesn’t mean they can’t overtake them this soon in the league and take on the first position even though their performance hasn’t been that welcoming as that of Barcelona since the start of the season. Both teams are definitely going to take this match seriously and I expect them both to have equal chances of winning in this game.

Well, Some people might say that Real Madrid does have some young talents in tone of benches but these players will not be as effective as the first team. It also brings lots of pressure that force the club to look for possible short terms solutions, particularly in high profile matches such as El Clásico against Barcelona. A defeat such as this would most definitely put pressure in the team and maybe make the management push for players in the upcoming January transfer window in case the require them.

Concerning defense it is actually one of the most vital areas to develop. Which is even more valuable, bearing in mind players that got injured such as Eder Militão who play major role as a defender. Otherwise that can turn into some sort of weak spot which opponents will be able to take advantage of as soon as they meet without proper adjustments in strategies or players’ signed contracts.

Yes you are right, when the news of the signing of Mbappe to Real Madrid was heard everyone believed that Real Madrid team was going to be undefeated this season because of their performance last season and the players they have in the team and everyone was expecting them to be strong this season but they are yet to master with their current formation that's why the team is struggling in so far this season I don't think it is injury issues.

The great expectations of most people make the situation that Madrid currently has look bad because it does not match their expectations even though when we look at what happened it seems normal because it is not only Madrid who did this even Barcelona also experienced the same thing just because in the end there are players who are very good like Mbappe and Vini in attack as if Madrid is very bad now.

The fact is that Madrid is not that bad even if you look at what is happening right now in La Liga, Madrid and Atletico are the ones who still haven't lost even once in 9 weeks of the current season so we overestimate just because the draw is considered a setback for Madrid when their performance is not that bad.

It must be admitted, Hansi Flick has succeeded in making Barcelona develop to be better, he deserves praise for doing it in a short time. The financial crisis that was predicted to make Barcelona journey turbulent, has now become a motivating force for the team to be better. We know that Hansi Flick has not been able to fully maximize the potential of his squad, because a number of players are still struggling with injuries, but with the available players, the German manager is arguably able to meet expectations. Barcelona fans are certainly very happy with the current improvements, they now have high hopes for Hansi Flick.

Meanwhile, Madrid with its ideal squad, has not found the expected rhythm of play, losing players like Kroos makes Madrid depth of play unstable. The addition of new players such as Mbappe and Endrick, makes Ancelotti have to experiment again to form a new system within the team. Simply put, Madrid is facing a transition era. With the problem of player injuries, it might hinder their journey a little. However, Madrid with its mentality is fairly easy to get up and get back on track.
I can't say that this is Barcelona's comeback season in La Liga, but as far as we can see, Barcelona is indeed growing. Their good performance was driven by the good performances of their young players including Lamine Yamal, Cubarsi and several others, but also due to the experience of the more established players. Lewandowski is in his best form, Yamal and Raphinha too, all three are weapons for the opposing teams they have beaten so far.

I'm not sure that Barcelona can complete their mission this season by winning the title that was won by Real Madrid last season, but if they win their away match to the Santiago Bernabeu, then Barcelona's chances of winning the title will increase. Hansi Flick basically has a difficult job, he is still having difficulty finding equally good rotation players when several main players are rested.

At least the wheels are turning, before Real Madrid had a very good squad with the ability to maintain good consistency throughout the season. However, the reality is that Real Madrid has always had a great and luxurious squad but at the moment, it seems like Real Madrid needs to put in more effort to build a team with a young squad that is still luxurious of course. But even so, Barcelona seems to have better performance and quality with their financial recovery and also, Barcelona under Hansi Flick has really managed to improve their performance as well.

Thus, although I also recognize that Ancelotti is an experienced coach but still, it does not mean that they will forever be successful in getting trophies. Therefore, with the turnaround that has taken place then for this season it looks like Barcelona still looks better but indeed, to win trophies anything can happen and no one can really guarantee to get it.

Of course, many players may get injured during the season. But a big team like Real Madrid, and the team that was the best in the world last year, should have a very large squad. This should not be an excuse, Real Madrid has very high player quality and a very large squad. The next matches are very important for them. They will play an important match in the Champions League and the Barcelona match is approaching. I am very curious about their performance Smiley
I'm not worried. Ancelotti as an experienced coach certainly knows what to do to maintain the solidity of his team when injury problems come. Although it cannot be denied that it will affect their performance on the field. Real Madrid is still a big team filled with talented players, both core and reserve players, moreover Madrid always has a way to get out of pressure. Yes, in the next match before playing El Classico they must first face Dortmund in the UCL, two tough matches are waiting ahead. Ancelotti must really maintain the fitness of the players because they only have 4 days of rest from UCL to El Classico.

Real Madrid are one of the biggest teams in the world, but sometimes there are problems with a collection of stars. Real Madrid should not have made the Mbappe transfer. Because Mbappe disrupted Real Madrid's game and Ancelotti started to draw a different plan for Mbappe. As a result, we have seen some unexpected performances from Real Madrid this season. Mbappe has affected Vini Jr's performance and the team has been affected a lot. This season we've seen a Real Madrid with a very mixed squad structure and that makes for a bad Real Madrid. It must be very difficult for Ancelotti to decide.

These guys you mentioned (Shaw and Gomes) they some how have a similar situation but thank God they came back strong, even Ramsey of Arsenal he came back to action and even better. This very one can make him retire early because of his age. If coming back to action next year October like you said, I don't think he'll make the first 11 or be relevant to the team and he won't be as energetic as he used to be, they'll replace him ASAP because Madrid is a team that always want the best to be in their team and anybody who's not available they make sure they cover that position to make the team to be more competitive. Vasquez has been the man to always play that position whenever Dani is out and I believe Vasquez would do a great job, wish Dani a quick recovery.
This is true, even if he could come back there is a big potential he will never be able to crack starting eleven again and this type of injury during this age means Real Madrid needs to look for a right back. Considering Trent is still not extending his contract, we can say there is a good potential he could go to Real Madrid for free too, and meanwhile Alphonso Davies is not extending his contract neither, and there could be something there too.

Mendy however is a great defender I believe, they probably do not need another attacker on the left ,they already have Mbappe and Vini using left too much, having Davies makes no sense. Maybe, there is a potential of them getting Davies or Trent, just one of them, and making them play at right back.

Seeing the previous match from Atletico Madrid with Real Madrid won ended in a draw but each team faced is usually different in producing victory it will provide a greater or smaller opportunity depending on how on the field, although predictions can say it but often the reality is different from our estimates before the match starts, this is not just an ordinary bet but supporting my favorite team as a football fan, Real Madrid has become a sure thing I will support especially in matches like that will be very tense, everyone may be different but for me personally this is a match of pride with my friend.
Considering that there are still two other matches for each team before El Clasico, consider that the two teams may have different situations. Red cards, accumulated yellow cards or player injuries are very likely to occur before El Clasico, so both teams' chances will probably change over time.

Real Madrid have a home advantage that they can make the most of, but underestimating Barcelona who are in good form would be a mistake. It is hoped that both teams will play well in this match, but there is still time to wait to see what the two coaches will prepare for this match.

Both teams have two difficult matches before El Clasico, imagine how busy and difficult it is for the coach to prepare everything so that it is fine for the sake of prestige.

Yes you are right, some things can indeed happen because the El Classico match is still very long and there must be something that happened to one of the teams, especially what was faced by these two teams in the next match was quite strong and the possibility could not be eliminated from Now if you want to see how the meeting later, injuries and violations can happen that are detrimental to one of them, but I hope both of them run quite well and play according to their real abilities, we will see a very extraordinary match in the El Classico match.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid have a lot of talented players in their squad. This group is very strong. Having an experienced coach like Ancelotti. However, several key players in Real Madrid's squad have suffered injuries. Madrid are yet to play with their best XI this season. Bellingham has missed a number of matches due to injury Courtois has suffered. And now Mbappe has also suffered injuries. Ancelotti is yet to develop a consistent match strategy due to injury problems. However, since Ancelotti is a very experienced coach, he will surely develop a stable match strategy. However, Madrid's overall performance is still somewhat unstable.

The match will definitely be very exciting, the long awaited rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, this Derby is the most anticipated match in the league because of how big these two teams are and how many fans these clubs have, there will be many fans who bet on this match, maybe including me who will bet on Real Madrid in this match, yes although in terms of performance Barcelona seems to be much better, but I still believe Real Madrid will get the victory, Ancelotti I hope he gives more pride to Real Madrid.

That's why it's called Elclassico it's always a classic match between the two bug team but I don't think people place more bet than normal game because there's always doubt on who is certainly going to be the Victor between both team.
Sure!there's no doubt that there's going to be alot of fans that will come to watch this because it's a classic match and fans will be eager to see their team win a classic match but the winning part, I still doubt Realmadrid will won it this time around comparing their performance so far this season
I'm seeing this game that none of the two side, Barcelona or Madrid would want to let go of this 3 points for the other, If you could recall,  Real Madrid last Major match was against Atletico Madrid that game end on a draw, I don’t really see that Madrid would want to lose this game to their major rivary team in Spanish La Liga, Barcelona and losing to Barcelona means they have given Barca more opportunity to be the Champions this season.

For someone who wants to bet on this match should consider going for over 2.5 goals, because this is what I have had paid off most the time during El Clasico games.

Mbappe is being criticized for especially scoring mostly penalties since he joined Real Madrid.

Here it is:



He scored 3 penalties in the La Liga so far while scoring 5 goals in total in the league. It reminds me of the Ronaldo - Penaldo talk by many people.  Tongue   But jokes aside, I don't think it is fair at all for any of those players. Mbappe is also one of the best players in today's football. Every player can be criticized in some periods. I don't think he will feel any pressure over himself and have problems on focusing.

Yeah there were some games he played terrible by wasting insane goal opportunities.  Grin  But he would get better in time by adapting.
Obviously he hasn't adjusted to the team yet, and this could be not so great for his own personal feeling neither. He waited for Real Madrid move to happen all his life, he has been waiting for this contract for so long and he is finally here.

This is his dream and he had pictures on his wall when he was a little kid so of course he is going to end up with a result which nobody will question for the long term, he definitely loves the club and wants to do the best he can for the team as well, just because he isn't capable so far doesn't mean he doesn't want to.

He played with PSG for too long and he doesn't know Reals system just yet, they are going to start to learn slowly and they will become better with time. Maybe it could be even better for them if they switch things around time to time in order to give Mbappe the left wing and Vini the striker, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, maybe this could be tried out and maybe the results would be better for both of them.

Team like Real Madrid should have good players or worldclass players in their bench as backup for such situation when injuries are coming to affect the starting eleven players, but they literary don't that enough quality players in their bench which is why some of their fans are already making that as an excuse in case if they lose their match against Barcelona.

Real Madrid has the 7 most valuable players in the world in its squad. They are all on the list of the 17 most valuable players and it is fitting that Real Madrid is called the team most likely to win many titles this season. They have Vinicius, Kylian Mbappe, Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo, Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni on the roster, so quality of play can be expected.

The players on the bench may not be the players on the top 20 most valuable players list, but they are quality players. Real Madrid always prioritizes quality even though the price is high, so there is no comparison with Barcelona at the moment. The El Clasico match is clearly very exciting to look forward to, but we know who is the favorite to win regardless of the result.
