With all honesty, I do not see Real Madrid signing this lad. First, I want you to take a good look at his current age and that of the sqaud they're trying to build for the future ( Real Madrid ), aren't they youngins who can play for the next ten to fifteen seasons for the club? He is 29 now though, I haven't seen too much of his game closeup, I still don't think he'll be a long term replacement for the Belgium international Thibaut Courtois. No!
As per his salary demands, I think they'll come to agreement. He is just not cool with the recent acts of racism and monkey chants he has faced in Italian Seria A. Would that be a problem to sign up a long term contract with Ac Milan? Well, we'll see.  I'd rather see them stick with that Ukrainian Lunin Andriy. It feels like he wants enough game time though.

I think Frenkie de Jong is right to be careful about his injury. He does not want to have surgery if it might not help him get better quickly. But this combined with him not signing new contract with Barcelona makes me wonder if he will stay with club. If he does not sign contract Barcelona might sell him next summer. De Jong needs to think about his health and his career. He should think carefully about whether surgery is good idea and make decision that is best for his health and his future in football.

It is true that Hansi Flick is very good at training his men and all Barcelona players can also adapt to Hansi Flick who is the new coach and in the midst of Barcelona which is experiencing financial problems, Flick can make Barcelona fans' hopes come true. and indeed I also think Hansi Flick deserves the August award. and to be honest, at first I thought that the team in Laliga this season would be Real Madrid who would achieve consecutive wins but unexpectedly Barcelona could prove themselves that they are a team that cannot be taken lightly and now it has been proven that Barcelona is a strong team which will certainly be respected by other teams. in Laliga except Real Madrid who will definitely be brave and confident against Barcelona.

Yes, so far Hansi Flick's troops have been extraordinary because the teamwork is so good that the defense and attack make the enemies they face always overwhelmed, especially when Olmo is played, it certainly makes Barcelona's game even better. but of course we won't know whether Barcelona will be able to maintain its performance until the end of the season or not, but what is clear now is that Hansi Flick needs to continue to improve Barcelona's performance even though currently his performance is already good because of course the competition will definitely be long because the new season has started, but of course now Hansi If Flick can continue to make Barcelona consistently win then Barcelona will definitely have great potential to become champions and be able to beat Ancelotti's troops.

This is just like a love story that is not going to end so well. De Jong has been in out this Barcelona team for a very long term with the same injury every time. Personally I understand that players truly want to compete and help their clubs and not sit injured so they try to not go for surgery; in as much as this is a good commitment sign I don’t like it. The players need to understand that their body is their biggest asset of all time and needs to be taken care of properly. De Jong has been on this injury for close to three seasons now if he had gone for surgery I think he would have been Able to recover in time, look at Gavi that had one is almost closer to playing again than him. He is at the risk of killing his career with this persistent injury.

We all know that the new contract will definitely be a big problem to agree, at $600k wage I know Barcelona will be proposing something below that due to their financial difficulties and the players agency will definitely reject it. Barcelona have even been looking for a reason to sell him maybe they will allow him run down his contract like that instead of paying him that amount again

Frenkie de Jong was got long term injured and since April this year he cannot playing for Barcelona and the reason why he refuse to surgery because there was no guarantee if he did surgery his injured will be recover quickly even there is possibility after surgery then the injury recovery period could be longer than expected so he doesn't want this happend to him so that's why although Barcelona suggest him to surgery then he refuse that

Actually the future of Frenkie de Jong also still uncertain because although Barcelona has been offering new contract to him but until now he still hasn't signing new contract yet and even there is a rumour that if Frenkie de Jong refuse contract extended which given by Barcelona then he would be sell for next summer

De Jong is in a dilemma, he refused to undergo surgery because he prefers traditional recovery with consideration of his long-term health in the future, as reported by Goal.com. Barcelona currently really needs the services of the Dutch player, to face a busy match schedule, in La Liga and the Champions League. It is natural that De Jong refusal has offended the club, and I think Barcelona will not let this situation continue to drag on. If De Jong still refuses the recommendation for surgery, and chooses to play in a less than fit condition, this will be detrimental to himself and the club. De Jong position in the Barcelona first team will be threatened if he does not play for a long time, Hansi Flick has no choice but to use other available players. The worst consequence, the manager will push him to leave and find a new club in the upcoming transfer window, if this season De Jong cannot contribute.

For now, Barcelona does have that advantage. At least their points with Real Madrid are still 4 points apart, so Barcelona is quite safe and leading for the early part of this season.

In the next match, both will compete against top clubs too, so this might also prove their strength again.

While on the other hand, it is very unfortunate, many Real Madrid players are injured, especially their main back line players. Ancelotti must be a bit dizzy with the condition of their defenders at this time because there are indeed many injured main squad, even their reserve players.
 

The season is still young though but it's still okay to give him the compliment for the 3 win streaks with alot of goals at the same time, I can also notice his positive  touch on Lewandowski  recently , although I'm still looking forward to seeing is performance for the future games.
About Dani Olmo's injury, i think it's not that serious as I read, he has undergone some fit  test  and he's going to be available for Barca -- Girona, I heard it's just a bruise.

It seems there is not a good relationship between Frenkie de Jong and Barcelona currently. Because Frenkie de Jong is injured and he doesn't have a good situation in this team and they want Frenkie de Jong to accept the surgery and get back in good form after that but he won't accept this and this makes the team unhappy.
Frenkie de Jong won't listen to Barcelona and he says he doesn't need surgery and he can play for this team with he current situation he has because surgery would be risky.
 
  

Yep mate I agree with you that Barcelona is far far away from the poor moral. I mean that Hansi Flick really created a new spirit in Barcelona through which Barcelona can repeat its past at once. If seen a few seasons back, Barcelona was performing like a poor or lay club and people started considering Barcelona as a lay club. Real Madrid was better day by day and Barcelona was worst, even defeated by a small club. But thank God, now Hansi Flick has come and he made Barcelona better Even in the first season he gave Barcelona the spirit to compete in La Liga. Considering that Barcelona won a match with 7-0 lead in La Liga for the first time since the MSN era. i mean after 7 years, Barcelona won the La Liga match with 7-0 on home ground for the first time. 
 
 
So it's mean to say that Hansi Flick made Barcelona much better, changed everything in a few matches. Now, in my opinion, if Barcelona continues like this and keeps holding its first place firmly in the league table, then Barcelona will be La Liga champion soon. And apart from that, they can perform in a better way in the Champions League as well.

Dani Olmo immediately made his debut at Barcelona very extraordinary. He managed to score 2 goals at the start of this season with Barcelona. And yes, Hansi Flick certainly feels that he has succeeded in maximizing the transfer market well by persuading Barcelona to bring in Dani Olmo.

But now I have to convey my concerns about the condition of Dani Olmo who was sent home from the national team because he suffered an injury. Which meant he had to go home early and couldn't continue defending the Spanish national team. I hope the injury is not serious. because he is now an important part of the Barcelona squad. But it's not just Barcelona who suffered losses in this international break. Because it seems like Real Madrid also found several of their players returning from injury.

Yes, that's right. Barcelona is very different now from last season, although their first three matches won with a score of 2-1 which was considered "not perfect", but the difference is very far from the previous season coached by Xavi. Under Xavi, a 2-1 win usually shows a team that fights hard to get 3 points. During Flick's time, we can see his team attacking, pressing, aiming for many goals and that was evident when they won their last match with a score of 7-0. This also proves that Flick shows or applies a good philosophy for Barcelona and a different level of experience from the previous coach.

So far what is seen in the Barcelona team is that they have made very significant changes even with the existing squad, but Flick can utilize the skills of each player. Yes, it is still very early to say that Barcelona is getting stronger because the real test will occur when they face Real Madrid, because usually to get the La Liga title, the benchmark is the team that can win during the El Clasico match. Barcelona's next match will be against Girona, this will also be an interesting match because last season Barcelona lost twice to Girona, can Barcelona take revenge on Girona this season?

All this accolades and praises for a team that has won just 3 matches. What are you going to say if there center forward all becomes weak and injure? I remember a team in Premier League, that was Tottenham hotspur. They had a good run from the beginning of the season but as soon as one of their player went to injury which was there core defender, the rest of the team became hopeless because the key way into winning any match is having a good stand defenders, I Barcelona doesn't suffer from this as well.

Good thing El classico has not been played, I want to see how Real Madrid are going to react this season because of Mbape. It's sad to see Rodrigo not included among the Balon D'or but I want to really see how he is going to play going forward in Real Madrid main matches and how he will play along since many people are complaining their bond with Mbape isn't as strong as that of Vinicious to Mbape.

Precisely because Real Madrid's current situation is very unstable, this opportunity must be taken by Flick and Barcelona, ​​they must run faster and if they have a big difference it will make it easier for them to continue to be at the top of the standings, and maybe they also think like this, that's why they never give room to get a defeat, all wins to maintain their position so that they are not easily overtaken by their rivals when they have risen.


Of course they can catch up, after all we only have 3 matches and now in the international break, still have plenty of time to improve the squad and rebuild confidence, while that might be enough time for the recovery of injured players, after the international break they can play again as before and accompany Madrid to collect points, and you are right that a situation like this can happen to all teams, so there is no need to curse them, it's just that if Real Madrid's bad condition lasts a long time, Barcelona should know what to do to have a big point difference, I think all teams are afraid of Real Madrid if they return with their full strength.

I do not think that there are that many things left to win, maybe just UCL obviously, but he can win that with Real Madrid easily, many players at real wins it easily, so it wouldn't be really a big deal. Even if they end up winning it a few years later and not this season then it would still be possible and they will still win it, there is nothing to worry about, they all know how to win it and won it before so they will get one with Mbappe as well. I think it's clear that Mbappe doesn't really have to do that much to win something with this team.

Sure he went there to chase his dreams and goals, but the goals with Real Madrid is quite simple, it is not really anything to be happy about, when you win half of the all UCL's in the last decade, when you win it, it's not really a big deal. The bigger deal would be if they end up losing, because they should be a lot better than that, and shouldn't be losing and if they end up losing then it would be quite funny to see that and I think it would be humiliating for them too.

I congratulate the new coach of Barcelona because he seems to have recreated Barcelona with the same players. Moreover, they also sent away some important players like İlkay Gündoğan. It seems that Barcelona analyzed their players very well. Also, Dani Olmo was one of the transfers that brought life to Barcelona.

Currently, it is very natural that many people feel optimistic about Barcelona's new coach, Hansi Flick. Because I also feel the same way about what this coach has done at Barcelona. It could even be said that I feel Flick has exceeded what I expected from him at Barcelona. He was really able to make Barcelona find a better style of play. I remember he said at the beginning he came to this team. Namely, he wants to change Barcelona's style of play. And yeah I see it works. He is able to maximize the strengths of this team. But it's still early days. And maybe we should appreciate Hansi Flick if he can continue these good results throughout this season. One or two losses would be very normal. But it would be extraordinary if he made Barcelona unbeatable.

Seriously speaking, Flick is really performing for Barcelona this season because many people think that Barcelona won't do anything this season because they didn't get enough funds to buy some better players to the club, but Flick said they can do well without even enough funds and have seen his work. I just wish if he can continue like this thing the end of the season, but I'm sure he can't because the league hasn't gone fa and they haven't played with the tough clubs in the league yet.

let see their match against Girona this weekend because last season Girona defeated them home and away let see if they can get the opportunity and revenge what Girona did to them last season because I am still believing with Girona they are still doing well this season and they are playing at home they will do anything possible to stop Barcelona, because they are playing at home they won't let Flick get and win them, and they still have better players in the team that can Let's see how they perform against Girona this weekend.


You are absolutely correct, and the game will play this weekend, let see if Barcelona can defeat them or not. Real Madrid still has the chance to win the league, and I am sure they will do anything possible to win all of their remaining matches, but what I am seeing now is that some of their players are injured, which can affect them in the league and other competitions, and the worst thing is that they are defenders, this is the time that Ancelotti will like to try to young stars that they don't have opportunity to play. I wish the players are back soon because without them real madrid will face difficulties of winning the laliga league let see if Ancelotti will succeed this weekend against Real Sociedad without some key players in the squad.

Mbappé is just starting to play in Madrid. His ego was very high at PSG. Sometimes he acted as if he had an ego above the team. Although, it was not his fault here, the team president gave him this opportunity. They turned a blind eye to everything so that he would not leave the team, but he still left the team, and for free. I don't know if Real Madrid will show the same ego, but for now everything is very good.

In fact, 3 missed goals in 4 games are quite a lot, and if you remove that abnormal result in the game against Valdolid, then Barcelona has very modest statistics. But in any case, now, according to the missed goals, Barcelona is in 5-9th place. Barcelona turned out to be a good start, but it is too early to extol them - just look at the opinion of the bookmakers, it has practically not changed, the clear favorite for the title is Real.
