Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 669. (Read 537402 times)

Management and Hansi Flick are trying to do their best to build squad depth, no matter how difficult the circumstances, they must make the most of the transfer window. In reality, Barcelona will indeed find it difficult to compete for trophies, but what is more important is maintaining their existence as an elite La Liga club. Madrid is currently in a very favorable situation in all aspects.

Hopefully Barcelona can recover as soon as possible, so that the competition for trophies will become more competitive. Meanwhile, Barcelona decline can actually be put to good use by ATM, Girona and several other contestants to compete with Madrid next season. I think Girona has a big chance to appear consistent like last season, I don't think Girona is just a one season sensation.

On the other hand, Hansi Flick seems to have started moving to look for new players, Dani Olmo is reportedly Barcelona main target. I think there are several players who will be released by Barcelona, ​​in order to realize Dani Olmo move. These efforts can be said to be a form of Barcelona struggle towards next season, and I am sure that Barcelona strength will still be taken into account in the competition for trophies.

Flick happens to be a coach that is very optimistic a s would give his team that mental push to be able to achieving almost everything possible and that is why he wouldn't be waiting injury prone players because they may not fit perfectly I to hi plan and he's aiming to win the champions league possibly., Rhw la Liga too will be in his priorities but the champions league may top the priorities just like other coaches would want to do and winning the champions league will go a long way to taking Barcelona out of their current financial mess.

I once made a comment like this and I was considered clueless and didn't understand football at all. In fact, before the season starts, we definitely talk about various possibilities based on what is on paper, based on the probability of the strength of each club with its coach, players and also club management. Because these three things honestly have a big influence on the club's performance and readiness to show their best efforts. The important thing is, we do not intend to bring down or underestimate other clubs, because each club is making their best preparations. However, so far, Real Madrid is the most solid, stable and ready for that, and they are still looking for and wanting to recruit several top players to further strengthen the squad. 

Indeed, Barcelona is really serious this time about prioritizing the arrival of Nico Williams to Barcelona. Even Barcelona has contacted his agent and negotiated with them regarding the Left Winger. In fact, Athletic itself has given the option to extend for 3 years, but this has not reached an agreement and there has been no progress, so we think that Barcelona really has a chance to get Nico Williams, especially at Euro 2024, along with his teammates in Spain, several Barcelona players also approached him to join the same club. Ha ha.

But unfortunately, based on the latest rumors, it is said that Nico Williams will still stay at his club, Athletic Club, for at least the next season. So, Barcelona still needs to continue to try harder if they really want to with a release clause which is certainly not small. Or with the option of waiting for Nico Williams' free transfer.

Pedri might be prone to the same problems that many young sports professionals are prone to: injuries!

All the people think that everyone with talent can become a rich man with sports. No, sadly not. There are so many super talents suffering from physical issues. Too bad, but it is a matter of fact.

The truth is that Pedri's incredible football talent has been limited from reaching it's full potentials because of the constant injuries he's been suffering in his career. For a player at his age, it's not easy to be a regular starter for the national team by because of the quality and brilliance he brings to any team he's playing for, he's started every Spain's game in the ongoing European Championship but unfortunately for the young lad, he was injured again yesterday in his team's quarter final game against the host nation Germany after Toni Kroos launched a tackle on him.
It was after the game that Toni Kroos apologized to Pedri while reiterating that his tackle on Pedri was without any intentions of injuring him. Pedri's injury I know will be a very big concern to his club Barcelona who are not financially strong enough to get his replacement

On papers, we are having Barcelona at their lowest level in last few years with their finances and their performance both are looking terrible but as we all know it's never been predicting about any team things can take good changes for them because they are trying their best for having few suitable players which can make their mark and having some good development in these conditions without any doubt Real Madrid is at the top due to having many big names and successes under their belt in last season but still having any serious prediction about coming season is never been easy.

Hansi Flick is trying to have players which can do things which are suitable for his strategy and teams future because he is having not enough sources with burden is high with huge pressure and situation is not suitable for him and all Barcelona fans which have good expectations from him in coming season after exit of the Xavi who was doing good job.

Barcelona are in a very  delicate situation now ,there's no magic that can be performed for them to be able to compete against real Madrid because real Madrid New signing Mbappe with the kind of skill he possess it will be very difficult for them to be challenged because mbappe is good. And with the new coach that Barcelona has they still need to understand the new strategies that the new Coach will be coming with. And if they adopt early then they will do well but if they don't adopt then they will be definitely left behind no doubt.

Barcelona for now don't even have any strong player to be able to restore their past glory because they they don't even have the money to be able to even buy new players for now. So they have to find a way to utilize the players that they already have. If not the result they will get will be worst compare to that of what they got in return last season.

Hansi Flick of course has many options to develop their squad even though they have to rely academy players this time , Barcelona unsupportive finances should of course mean that Hansi Flick can optimize the current players more than forcing Barcelona to buy new players, especially at this time, Many of Barcelona young players have returned from loans from other clubs, so the options available for rotating players are of course very numerous for hansi flick next season, Ansu Fati, who was previously also predicted to be Messi's successor, should be given the opportunity to return to Barcelona main squad next season after He's back from Brighton.

Barcelona is currently interested in bringing in Nico Williams from Bilbao and of course to get him Barcelona will have to spend a lot of money to get him, even though barcelona have ansu fati now in skuad, so Barcelona should act smarter by trying to play him in the attack line next season, so far, Ansu Fati has developed quite well at Brighton so I think Barcelona should try again to put confidence in him to be their mainstay next season.

Due to his impressive performance in Euro we have Nico Williams in headlines of the soccer community, and he deserves for this as well with as things are going we have few strong candidates for him which are ready to go as much possible and this all is making things difficult for the Barcelona which needs him desperately and having no enough funds for him as well €50 million is surely big amount, and we have reports Liverpool is also jumping into this race which are surely going to have more problematic for Barcelona.

Even Yamal can do something for his club but how they will handle this all it's also important and as we have Premier League clubs enter into this race price tag can go above in coming days specially after end of the Euro which he is doing amazing for his country Spain hopefully he will do something better for his future with Barcelona is surely good option, but finances are not good enough.

I don’t even know if it mattered that Pedri is prone to injuries; after all, Kroos’ foul was harsh and could have caused damage to any player. It's quite ironic that before the game Pedri called Kroos a legend and said that he hoped this game would be his last at the Euros. In the end, this happened, but at the same time Pedri was hurt by Kroos and left the field before him.
Pedri is only 21, he can probably still gain muscle mass or become less fragile by other methods.

It is so unfortunate for Pedri. However he is an injury-prone player like I said on another thread so I'm really used to seeing him like this often.



As you can see, the situation is really serious about him.    He is believed to be a great player in the future. But in this way his future can also be in pain. This look of him reminds me of Neymar. He has also been a great talent but getting injured very often at the same time. Barcelona has big plans for Pedri so I hope these injuries wouldn't hinder his potential much. Otherwise Barcelona might even think of selling him if things get more serious.

Nico Williams is a Bilbao player and Nico Williams career also continues to rise at Bilbao, even though Nico Williams is still young, but Bilbao did not hesitate to give Nico Williams a long contract until 2027. Thus, I think there is no complete guarantee for Barcelona to get Nico Williams, unless Nico Williams is willing to take on a new challenge with a salary that might be reduced if he plays at Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona also still has financial problems. But yes, even though for example Barcelona still managed to bring in Nico Williams, but I believe that Real Madrid is still too strong, and Barcelona is still not good enough with its bad conditions to be a competitor to Real Madrid.

Ansu Fatti which was highly rated player in past now having another good chance of rediscovering his form and have strong spot in crisis hit Barcelona which is trying to fight hard for having something positive in this difficult time Hansi Flick is going to start his new job with too many problems on and off the field but can he bring stability and improvement it's massive question.

Ansu Fatti is surely having good skills and talent which need some time to establish and having good results with even after strong offers Barcelona wants to keep him and want better results as well hopefully if he will have regular place and having good performance things can take positive change for both parties which are looking for good end of the next season and surely his place is going to be not as bench warmer he could be mostly on the field for his all best.

In the midst of the financial crisis suffered by Barcelona, ​​players like Ansu Fati could be a rotation option for Hansi Flick. While playing for Brighton, Ansu Fati has started to rediscover his best playing form, Hansi Flick can polish it to be even better when he returns to the Barcelona squad next season. Injuries are the main enemy in the development of Ansu Fati career, perhaps this is also the reason why Barcelona is having difficulty cashing in on him at a high price. Sevilla and Fenerbahce were reportedly interested in recruiting Ansu Fati, but the latest news is that Barcelona chose to give him another chance by keeping him. In my opinion, Hansi Flick should give Ansu Fati decent playing minutes, maybe with a different approach to the game scheme, Ansu Fati could be the solution that Barcelona needs, not just a bench warmer.

In fact when talking about money for Barcelona this has happened in recent seasons but for the problem of competition they are still able to compete with Madrid even last season they could become champions with limited money. So in this case I think money will not be a problem that is too complicated if in the end Flick can utilize the player because for competition in La Liga will definitely remain the same where there are only a few clubs that can be in it including Madrid and Barcelona and for the champion will also remain the same where the choice is only two namely Madrid and Barcelona there are no other clubs.

But even so finances are still important even though it does not interfere with the competition but the value and doubt for Barcelona in the end becomes greater than Madrid. At the moment I think everyone is aware that in the end Madrid are still dominant especially with the arrival of Mbappe and possibly some other players who will fill every line especially their defense next season which can strengthen their situation compared to Barcelona in the championship competition.

Nothing team will accept a failed player like Ansu Fati, I mean Flick recognizes Barcelona current situation and doesn't want to make the team's condition worse making Ansu Fati Barcelona main player. It was initially rumored that this young player could be a reliable player but in fact his talent did not match what was expected and Barcelona would prefer to sell him and if Brighton had an interest in making an offer to Barcelona, the team would be happy to let him go.
There is no intention to demean these young players, but as we are discussing now, Barcelona needs the readiness of players who really have a high mentality to face the competition in the next season. If we remember, Madrid has threat with new players (Mbappe) for Barcelona.
Hansi Flick knows what he has to do and will take wise steps to prove that he is a reliable coach.

Nico Williams quite good performance in La Liga and also this year Euros is of course a very strong attraction for big European teams to recruit Nico Williams, including Barcelona, ​​Nico Williams is one of the talented players and  I think about it he will have a big impact very positive and able to improve the quality of play of the team that recruited him, Barcelona is reportedly quite interested in bringing in Nico Williams and they are trying to use Lamine Yamal as a way to convince Nico Williams to want to join Barcelona next season, but even so, of course the chance of Nico Williams joining Barcelona is very unlikely because Nico Williams has just extended his contract with Bilbao.

Barcelona has poor finances and of course it will be very difficult for them to be able to compete in the race for the La Liga title trophy at this time, so joining Barcelona is no different from staying in Bilbao athletics because there is no guarantee that he will get the championship trophy in the future,  currently of course Nico Williams prestige has risen drastically so there is an opportunity for him to be able to play at another club that is better than Barcelona and also Athletic Bilbao so he has to consider it carefully for his future.

Are you trying to say that Barcelona need a strong players that can improve their squad? Even in their currently situations is known that Barcelona are lack of batter squad, but is the lack of inconsistent that is killing them and that's why  the team is not moving forward. But the fact is that even thought the Barcelona can get the kind of players that can improve their performance next season I don't think they can able to compete with real Madrid.
Yeah actually real has a high hopes that their capable to deal with any teams that they meet with, because if you look all the entire team real Madrid have a great players before and now that, they have signed up Mbappé again the team is completed with better squad.

Rumors say that Barcelona will get Nico Williams, but the player currently doesn't want to discuss those rumors at all, he is focusing on Spain at EURO. If Nico Williams goes to Barcelona, ​​it would be a great addition to Barcelona, ​​let's see what happens after EURO ends.

BTW, Pedri will certainly not be able to continue his EURO journey with Spain, it could be that if Pedri's injury is serious, he will also not play with Barcelona in the early weeks of La Liga.

Moreover, now Barcelona is coached by Hansi Flick, who really doesn't like players who are easily injured. Ansu Fati will clearly be denied a return to the Barcelona squad. For now and the future, Barcelona is preparing the ideal squad under Flick guidance because the demands are quite big, especially in La Liga to improve a slightly bad season. After what Flick is aiming for, Brighton only has 2 options to bring Ansu Fati back or extend him, even if he returns Ansu Fati will definitely be used as guarding the bench by Flick and that will only make Ansu Fati lose more playing time. His history of injuries hampered his career, at his young age it was a shame that it ended badly.
