It was beyond my expectations that Hansi Flick could stabilize the Barcelona team so quickly. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach that we knew. But last season we saw very poor and erratic performances from Barcelona. And the status of this group is very shaky. There were no experienced players in the squad except Lewandowski

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense thing. I meant you called Barcelona has no experienced players, except Lewandowski. Are you thinking that an experienced player is someone over 30 years old? What a joke is this?

So, why are there lots of Barcelona players playing on their national club? Aren't they experienced enough to do that?

The player's age doesn't really matter now. Even Yamal is called the next superstar when he is still under 21 years old.

So far hansi flick has managed the team quite well and it can even be said that there are many improvements that have occurred in the current Barcelona game, Barcelona which does have a limited squad has been able to show consistent performance so far, because their can perfectly win 4 wins from 4 matches and is clearly different from what we see with Madrid today, Although Barcelona still has many shortcomings in their defense but we have to admit that their attacking line is quite dangerous at the moment, I think last season when Barcelona coached by Xavi was also quite good and we can't distinguish it from what Hansi Flick is doing now, Barcelona currently has a lot of experienced players and I also think if that experience is not just in the form of age, But we should know that experience is the mentality that the players have in competing so far and most of Barcelona young players have had a strong enough mentality because they have played for the country and also Barcelona for a long time, so the experience is not only an old age factor.

Considering the number of Real Madrid players that are currently injured, Carlo Ancelotti will surely be very excited to see here that Eder Militao will only miss two games after he picked up injury during the international break with the Brazil national team.
For Aurelien Tchoumeni, he was withdrawn from the France national team squad last week after he picked up a foot injury and have since then returned to Madrid. It was reported that it was a minor injury so I don't know if he'll be fit enough to feature for Real Madrid this weekend.

The number of players who are injured will affect Real Madrid in facing the match in the League and Ancelotti will have to think hard about finding a game formation using the number of players available. The defense line is quite important because if they are weak in that sector it will make it easier for opponents to launch attacks and Real Madrid will also have difficulty keeping up with the other team's game. Luckily for next week they face a much easier team so it will not have a big effect by losing several key players.

Real Sociedad are not very strong now because they have only won one match, but Real Madrid must also be careful because in their last match Real Sociedad managed to hold Getafe to a draw. Hopefully Eder Militao can be played in the next match so that Real Madrid's defense can be much stronger.

The news that Eder Militao will be absent for just two games is a good one because Real Madrid''s defence option is shrinking with David Alaba also sidelined. He would miss the La Liga match against Real Sociedad and their first Champion League match with the German side VfB Stuttgart. Maybe Ancelotti will have to depend on some versatile players to cover up the defence. Players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Ferland Mendy or Ramon Jacobo could replace Eder. Aurelien is a versatile midfielder who can also do well in the defence.

It was the worst FIFA day they could ever have because now other than players like Éder Militão and the other players you mentioned here Real Madrid also lost Jacobo Ramón, their young defender.
It seems Real Madrid should find a solution for it and maybe they will to do better physical training or maybe that's normal to see these players injured and since they were at the start of the season they got injured.

I don’t think this injury situation is going to be that bad.
Because after all it is the start of the season and it is kind of expected for some certain players to actually get injured.
It happens in almost every sport. After a long break when the players start playing again, they find themselves to be injured.

Some players are pretty unlucky. Because they can get injured for a long period of time. But on the other hand, some players do get injured but they can make a comeback after a few matches of absence. And I don’t think Militao is that seriously injured. Yes, it might be uncomfortable for Real Madrid for a few matches but I think Real Madrid will manage.

This is the updated news about Eder Militao's injury, so I think there is nothing to be worried about.

Good Luck

Atletico Madrid have made a similar start to Real Madrid in the league by the way. Nearly everything was going to be the same if Atletico Madrid scored one more goal. Grin

Do you think Atletico Madrid will stay in the title race this season? They have made some good signings for the attacking line such as Sørloth and Alvarez. Maybe Alvarez couldn't improve his performance yet but I believe he will in time.

I still think that Atletico Madrid are definitely able to be candidates in the title race this season and even if Atletico Madrid cannot win this season in La Liga because of the strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid which are still quite good, at least Atletico Madrid can still aim for the top three and top four positions for this season. Because Atletico Madrid is still considered a good team even though the arrival of the two players you mentioned has not been able to make a big contribution to Atletico Madrid, but as you said, Alvarez can certainly get better over time this season.

Of course, Atletico Madrid is still very much in the running to fight for the top spot, more so given the kind of talent they currently possess. Still, it remains a strong argument that the Barcelona and Real Madrid remain formidable opponents and while Atletico has not exactly been flawless so far, the consistency they have displayed makes them a force to be with. While new players such as Alvarez has not been fully utilized, the process of adaptation does take some time. Perhaps, in the middle of the season, he will begin to blend in with the team members, which might be the catalyst for Atletico to climb the ranks on the chart. Thus, we can still be optimistic about the top three!

It was recently discussed that Real Madrid has a very good squad depth and they are ready for the new season better than any other team, but after several injuries they have problems in several positions. It turns out that not everything is so simple and finding a quality replacement for the main player is quite difficult. It is good that Militao's injury did not leave him out of the game for a long time, the defense is not the line of Real that can afford to lose players. Although even the oversaturated attack line does not give the expected results.

In fact, the composition of players that Ancelotti has is already very complete, but the injury factor that continues to befall his players immediately changes everything. Toni Kroos' decision not to continue his career as a professional footballer is a big loss for the Real Madrid squad, Ancelotti is still having difficulty finding an ideal replacement even though Bellingham played very well last season.

Real Madrid's defense is starting to become fragile after several key players were injured, Ancelotti also needs to sharpen the sharpness of the front line which has been less than optimal lately. The current situation of Real Madrid players raises concerns about their ability to defend the title they won last season, if the injury storm continues, Real Madrid will have difficulty competing with Barcelona who are starting to find their best form since being handled by Hansi Flick.

Don't you think that you are drawing conclusions too early? Barcelona have won the games where they were favourites, there is nothing special about that. Only difficult games will show how much Barcelona has improved (or not). By the way, Olmo, Kunde, Rafinha, ter Stegen, etc. in your opinion, inexperienced players?

Real Betis vs Leganes is going to be a match after a few days. I am waiting to see how Leganes team can perform in this match. I don't know if Real Betis team can do well but if Real Betis team can do well then this match If there is no possibility of a draw, I expect Leganes team to win very easily. Leganes team did very well in previous matches, so I hope they can do well in this match as well.

I don't think Real Beti's next match will go as you expected, Real Betis has only lost league games to Real Madrid and drawn against Girona and Alaves, so you expect them to lose their next home game against Leganes after defeating Las Palmas, who drew with Real Madrid. However, I do not believe Real Bestis will lose the match because it will be their first opportunity to get their first three points in the league, so it is safe to bet on Bestis to win because it will be their first victory of the season.

It's still good news for Real Madrid that Militao will not miss as many games as he did last season when he was injured throughout the season, the injury number of Real Madrid players is eight, perhaps Bellingham will return before the Champions League games because this is completely bad news for the team, Tchouméni and Camavinga are currently injured, and who will strengthen the midfield in their games? We haven't discussed the defense, we can't predict if they will be as strong as they were because the midfield and defense will be poor, but we'll see how they perform in their upcoming games.

The system implemented by Hansi Flick has so far been well understood by Barcelona players, although there are still a few weaknesses in the pivot players and their young defenders. However, if these two players are often given more playing minutes, they will be able to develop quickly. In the Flick era, Barcelona appeared quite different even though they still carried the same philosophy. However, Flick has his own style with his concoction when handling and building Barcelona. For him, several players who were initially monotonous, thanks to Flick's touch they contributed quite a bit. For example, Raphinha was assigned as a playmaker who could move wherever he wanted to find empty space and remember the opposing defenders who gave other teammates empty space. We haven't even seen the variation of strategies and tactics that Hansi Flick will develop, especially after their main players recover from injury. Hopefully, Barcelona can be consistent. However, this is just the first step for Barcelona. It is possible that they will experience ups and downs in overall team performance, especially since they have a tight match schedule. A four-point lead over Real Madrid is nothing special, Flick still has challenges and a tough job ahead.

Hansi Flick managed to make a good first impression at Barcelona by starting the season very well. But it is true that ups and downs may also happen to this club. Because it is very rare for a team to continue to maintain its best performance throughout the season. except for Leverkusen last season in the Bundesliga which was unbeatable. But it does not rule out the possibility that this could also happen in Laliga by Barcelona. But the competition in La Liga is much tougher and more difficult. So perfect dominance will be difficult to find in Laliga. It's just that I think I have to say that Barcelona is indeed much better now thanks to Flick's touch.

Yes those discussions where due to the fact that almost everyone had a good optimism with Madrid considering the quality of transfer they .ade during the transfer windows and the fact that they strated off winning a trophy this season, I mean that was enough ro keep the confidence of most persons high enough and forgetting there are circumstances that comes around in cause of the season and can be so challenging that it can turn around the fate of the team except if they have got an awesome come back tactics which i believe Madrid actually has got. Madrid has got a good defense so the exit of milliato would have posed some challenges but it wouldn't be such that will get their defense compromised because I know ancelotti has got a good rotational tactics he would use with his player from the reserve team and still get his defense working well.

Hansi Flick has built a squad based entirely on young and inexperienced players. And he succeeded. Barcelona's performance in the first four matches was very composed. And the team has won four matches in a row. Barcelona are 4 points ahead of their main rivals Real Madrid.

Flick is really doing a good job in Barcelona and we aaw how he has tighten the bond between the players and has also made his game pattern easy and understandable and easy to adapt by the players.

If Barcelona can keep to their consistency, they might be able to win the league because their rival Real Madrid is facing some challenges currently which might affect their performance. It is when Barcelona meet with big team that i will see how strong they are.

Player injuries are the thing that all clubs fear most about the players they have. And actually, during the international break, we often see many players returning to the club injured. In fact, currently several Real Madrid players have also suffered injuries while defending their respective national teams during the current international break. So apart from the defenders, we also saw their midfielders who were injured.

This is quite detrimental to the club but this is a risk that cannot be avoided and must be accepted. Although Real Madrid always has good second-string players who can replace the positions left by core players who are absent due to injury. But still the quality of the second tier players will not be as good as the main players. So maybe we don't need to be surprised if Real Madrid can't do their best in the upcoming matches. Fortunately all the injured players are not in serious condition. It seemed like they were just minor injuries like muscle injuries. So they will definitely recover and play after a few matches have passed.

With a squad like this, they should also be able to fight for the La Liga title.

Every club has this problem and every club struggles with it. Real Madrid have some quality players with injuries at the moment but not for long. Real Madrid are always looking for options, so their club already has a number of quality options who can perform well in place of players who used to play in the starting XI and who are currently injured. Real Madrid have a good quality manager and good players, so we have nothing to be unhappy about their performance. I think Real Madrid may have had a bit of a slow start this season but if they get their consistency back they have the ability to overtake all teams. I look forward to such a comeback from Real Madrid and look forward to seeing them perform well in the Champions League.

Real Madrid has a glass jaw. Injuries expose that every time. Militao's out for a bit? Alright; we are able to manage that. But the real problem is they're top-heavy. All attack, no defense

Ancelotti's consideration of returning Rodrigo back? Good action. Real Madrid has always been more focused on scoring than on stopping goals. Do you remember Ramos and Pepe? That was a lifetime back then

Giving some objectives second priority to strengthen the defense? Though it's a gamble, it could be the only way you survive. Real Sociedad, Stuttgart - those games are gonna be tough. Ancelotti has to get his strategies perfect; else, Real Madrid will be exposed

I say wait. We will see Madrid's comeback very soon. Madrid has this capability. First, Ancelotti changed his match strategy and formation this season. But before the new match strategy could be properly implemented, several key players in the squad suffered injuries. And this is why we see Real Madrid's erratic performance. But Madrid has an experienced coach like Ancelotti. He will take whatever steps are necessary to stabilize Madrid's overall performance.

But I am worried about Madrid's next two matches. In the next two matches, Real Madrid will play against Real Sociedad and Stuttgart. Although Sociedad are not in good form, this team cannot be considered weak. And this team is stronger in home matches. On the other hand, the Real Madrid team is going to face Stuttgart in the Champions League match. Achieving full points in both these matches will be a tough task for Madrid.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid has a very great squad depth, but the strength of this depth is in the attacking side and not in the defensive side of the team. I know that just very soon Ancelotti will be first to sell one of his attacking forces in order to give a balance to the team. And with the look of things, it seems that Rodrigo would be the one to be sacrificed, if this happens that means Real Madrid would be able to bring in one more defender to solidify the defence.

Although apart from the recent reign of Ramos and Pepe, Real Madrid is not a squad that is known for great defending. They would be able to score more goals and if the defenders could concede lesser goals, that will be a win for them. So, Ancelotti should look to strengthen his defense.
