Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 554. (Read 541432 times)

I never for once doubt Real madrid winning the game, in fact, I was expecting a scoreline much more higher than what they scored. Yeah, they won but I think the players were too relaxed or they probably underrate the opponent team. Madrid should not be struggling against a small team like Valladolid. I think it is high time for Ancelotti to start putting pressure on them because they just wait for the ball to take it and this gives opponents chance to pass and create problems.

They should learn from Barcelona who doesn't give their opponents chances to pass or leave any player unmarked. They had a good game thou but they were very weak in pressing. At some point, I thought they were on training ground seeing how slow they were playing.

Real Madrid excelled everything over Valladolid, the difference in quality between the two teams was very visible in this match, Valladolid was unable to get out of pressure and finally had to submit to Real Madrid with a score of 3-0. Kylian Mbappe who made his debut as a starter at the Santiago Bernabeu was unable to score, this was Mbappe first appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu after joining Real Madrid this summer.
Ancelotti was well aware that Mbappe was struggling to score in this match, then he was replaced by Endrick who then scored the third goal for Real Madrid. This victory was Real Madrid's first this season after previously having to share points with Mallorca. The additional three points will make Real Madrid players even more enthusiastic in collecting points in the next match.

When Mbappe scored in the Super Cup match against Atalanta, they talked about how quickly he adapted, but in the first two games in La Liga he did not show anything special, it was more like how he played the last games for PSG. Maybe he needs more time not for adaptation, because it seems that the atmosphere in the team is good, but to better play with the team. Let him play a few more rounds, then it will be clear what he is capable of in Real.

Mbappe maybe should be required time to adapt with Real Madrid so that's why he still unable to in form and i have to says people expectation is very high to him so that's why everytime Mbappe played people will always be expect Mbappe can scores for Real Madrid but in fact until week 2 Mbappe still hasn't scores for Real Madrid even when the match against Valladolid last night Mbappe looks deadlock which caused Ancelotti have to replace him to Endrick but people never thought Endrick who only played 10 minutes can scored 3rd goal for Real Madrid so i think a bit ironic to see the situation of Mbappe last night because people expected he can scores but in fact Endrick who can able to make his debut goal with Real Madrid in Laliga

Mbappe's integration into the squad has not gone as smoothly as expected. The Spanish Royal team is having difficulty finding the right formula to maximize the potential of the French striker.
But I don't think he needs to play on the left wing or anywhere else, he will score goals, we'll see. Mbappe has always been a great striker, quick and moving well without the ball. He missed three or four chances to score today, maybe because of the pressure around him. Mbappe joined a completely new league and system. It can be seen that all teams are on high alert with Mbappe and have strategies to lock down the 25-year-old superstar. Mbappe gradually felt the pressure on his shoulders after joining Real Madrid and becoming the center of European football throughout the summer of 2024. Give him more time.

Real Madrid managed to win last night's match with a convincing score of 3-0 at home, this is the first 3 points this season and very important, 64% ball possession is proof that Valladolid is not a team that can match Real Madrid's game, moreover, none of the 8 shots produced by Valladolid were on target, but I see that it is still lacking with the performance shown by Real Madrid last night, mbappe and vini jr still haven't found a match, the chemistry that is woven is still lacking, proven when mbappe was pulled out in the 86th minute, endrick made the difference, ancelloti must immediately improve his attack line.

Girona has made a big mistake that might take them to the bottom of the table if they don't act fast because I don't see any reason why a club that did not win any trophy but had a brilliant performance decided to sell most of their key players and believe that there performance will not drop.

This should be a lesson for them that quality players are needed for a club to be successful at the end of the season. Why are they not learning from the best clubs in Spain, during the break clubs were buying good players to replace the oes they have offloaded but Girona was busy offloading their best and replacing them with average players.

even though they won this game, they've not played to the expectation of the fans who felt they could easily thrash out a minor opponent as this with lees stress. The team has obviously one of the best combinations of players if not currently the best combination of quality players that when compaired head to head with most other teams at laliga, premier league and almost all the leagues can't produce a match that's equivalent to the Madrid team. There play mostly reminds me of the PSG team that had the likes of Messi, mbape, Neymar jnr and the rest and still experience this kind of things in Thier games. Fortunate for them, they still found a way of getting three points which is what matters most at the end of the day.

Lewandowski cannot just stop scoring goals, despite the fact that he just celebrated his 36th birthday a few days ago, I agree with you, Lewandowski is feeling more comfortable playing under Hansi Flick compared to Xavi Fernandez, he has scored three goals in their last two games and secured the three points, if I may say that Xavi did not have much trust in Lewandowski, maybe he thinks the player is finished due to his age, but we may all see now that Lewandowski still has the strength to help his team as a top striker. I see that Barcelona is still better, even if Nico Williams refused to join the team and they were unable to register Olmo to start playing games.

Yamal, on the other hand, I like how he's playing amazing football at his age; I believe he'll be very dangerous when he turns 20 because, since returning from the Euros, Yamal has scored one goal and one assist in La Liga at 17.

That doesn't look like business to me, they saw this mistake coming and they choose to ignore it so how does it make the squad better than last season? Imagine how brilliant they were last campaign although they didn't get any trophy and this very season they couldn't get a win in their first 2 games, it doesn't tell good of them as a team who gave almost all of the big club a run for their money last season.
The window is still open and they need to regroup or else they might even lose some good players to their rivals if care is not taken, and if you talk about them getting ready for UCL I doubt because they are not yet fit to carry that pressure of even playing all domestic league cups, the la Liga and to add it up UCL, they can't manage the pressure honestly, they can't focus on them all.

Mbappe position in Real Madrid is a tough problem for Ancelotti. There is a meme on social media that with Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo, the attacking system of Real Madrid skew seriously to the left and on the right, they only have Dani Carvajal for that swing.

It is only a meme but somewhat it shows current problems in Real Madrid. They still lack of a good striker after Ronaldo and Benzema leave their club some seasons ago. In the last season, Jude helped them scoring many goals but in future, they actually need to have a world class striker and Mbappe can be released to his favorite position again. It will help them to have better contributions in attacking and more goals from Mbappe as well as help other attacking players have more space to play and they can together become a stronger team.

It is very natural for Real Madrid to appear fierce because they got a draw in the opening match, of course it will affect their position in the standings even though the opponent they face is like Valladolid, a team that is not favored and in addition next week they will host Las Palmas which is still below Real Madrid, of course the match will be utilized as well as possible by Madrid, they do not want a match like against Mallorca to have to share points, it does not matter for players like Rodrigo because all of coach Carlo Ancelotti's instructions are directed at Mbappe, it is very obvious that Madrid's ball possession is much more superior so it is not surprising if a big win occurs at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Contrary to popular belief, La liga is a very difficult league to score goals. People thought Mbappe was going to go there and burst onto the scene immediately like he did in France and they're wrong. Mbappe will score goals that's for sure, he's very good and is a prolific goal score, but he's going to find it a little harder than people expected. Messi and Ronaldo scoring a bunch of goals in the league made people believe it was easy to score goals in La liga.


I agree that Mbappe is mostly effective from the left but that would mean taking Vini out of that wing and we all know Vini is not effective at all on the right. As things stand, Ancelotti is going to find a way for things to work because both Vini and Mbappe are too valuable to be on the bench and the only solution I see is for Mbappe to keep playing from the middle. I believe with time there will be more understanding.
As for Mbappe, ill prefer he starts learning how to be a centre forward because his pace is his biggest strength and as he ages, that pace will reduce and if he doesn't evolve it will be a problem for him. The same way Ronaldo evolved would be the best decision for Mbappe right now. 

Lewandowski, even though he is no longer young, is certainly an extraordinary thing to be able to score 3 goals in the two matches that Lewandowski has played, but of course the season is still early and of course it will be difficult to predict who will be the top scorer this season, but yes Currently Lewandowski is in charge. Yes, last season it was Dovbyk from Girona who achieved the top scorer, but now Dovbyk has gone to As Roma, of course this will have the potential to provide an opportunity for Lewandowski to achieve the top scorer this season.

But yes, of course there's no harm in speculating from now on about who will get top score this season, but if you look at clubs that have lots of star players like Real Madrid, I predict that the ones who will have the greatest potential to get top score this season are players from Real. Madrid like Bellingham, Vinicius or Mbappe but that's just my prediction and of course predicting the top scorer is very difficult and of course there could be one player from another club who is surprising apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, I also see players who will have great potential to compete for the top scorer title, namely players from Barcelona other than Lewandowski, namely Lamine Yamal because he is still young and his performance is good, so we'll see and only time will tell who will win it at the end of the season.

Finally Real Madrid won their first match at the start of this season after they only got a draw in the previous match, they won with a landslide score of 3:0 with the promoted club Valladolid Real Madrid clearly has a great chance to win.
Valverde opened the first goal for Real Madrid in the 50th minute Carlo Ancelotti was quite smart when he rotated he brought in Brahim Diaz and Endrick with little time left but they were able to score satisfactory results by scoring 1 goal each.
Unfortunately Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Mbappe could not score goals, it is very unfortunate that the players that Carlo Ancelotti relied on could not do much even though previously they were very productive.

The match Real Madrid clearly won so I added a new bet for Atletico Madrid's victory against Girona and the final result is quite satisfying.

Real Madrid is known around the world as the best team in La Liga, and they are also a strong team. I believe Real Madrid have built a strong team this season, like last season, and they are strong enough to win the title this season. However, the way they came back in yesterday's game was really good, Real Madrid didn't have much excitement in the first half but went into the second half and put in a great performance and beat the opposition by scoring three goals. I also believe that in the coming days, Real Madrid team will become stronger and work harder and win every match brilliantly. Real Madrid has been playing very well in the competition of the new season, so it is expected that they will be more excited in the coming days.

Laughable post honestly. I don't even know what to say but giggle. Well, my own addition and opinion I'll comment on would be about Kylian Mbappe's best position. From the game today, I want to say that he Kylian Mbappe is best effective from the left wing and not as a central forward.

Also, the first half lacked creativity, that beautiful free-kick from Valverde made Real Valladolid come out to play otherwise, the way Real Madrid approached that game wasn't working. Maybe Real Madrid or Carlo Ancellotti should stick to Kylian Mbappe on the left, Endrick on the right and Vinicius Junior on the left. I don't see Rodrygo in Real Madrid for too long, I don't see were he blends in for long term plans.

Debut goal for Endrick, props to him and shout out to Kylian Mbappe. So many failed attempt to put the ball at the back of the net. Great game in between. Good movements but lacked enough creativity behind him. Well, he is no striker.

That Real Madrid is the best team in Spain is now common knowledge, and today for Real Valladolid there was little hope. 3-0 without much difficulty! This year the Real Madrid management has assembled a truly fantastic team full of phenomena. Also this year we will see Real Madrid triumph in all competitions, it is my opinion of course but I am very confident that it will happen

Real Madrid was poor in the first half. They were static, slow, and misplaced too many passes. But, the second half improved after Ancelotti made some good subs. It's great management by him after a lackluster first half. The decision to put Endrick and Brahim on in the second half improved our gameplay a lot.

It seems like Mbappe can't easily adapt to the league. He was so wasteful in this game and was always shooting straight to the goalkeeper. It's probably due to him not having pre-season. Also, he's finding it tough to get through with so many guys always shutting him down.

Your statement about Mbappé adds strength and aggression to our attack. It's not even right.

The Real Madrid team was aggressive and ferocious from the start, as the opposing team was at least weak. If we compare the players of the two teams, then Real Madrid team is stronger and known as the best team of this season. Because Real Madrid's players have been more aggressive since the past, Real Madrid has become stronger after the addition of Mbappe.
 There was little attacking before half-time, but after half-time Mbappe's side became more attacking and ferocious. Because meanwhile Rodrigo missed the ball the most and was unable to score but later succeeded.
