Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 684. (Read 533983 times)

Barcelona in recent seasons has been very difficult to compete with Madrid and even some other strong teams, although indeed Xavi managed to keep barcelona in the top tier of La Liga but we have to admit that competing for the championship trophy is not an easy thing for Barcelona to do at this time, so indeed Barcelona is starting to try to target several other players to be able to strengthen their squad next season,  Deco and Diaz have reportedly met but so far there is no certainty about Diaz future Remembering that currently Diaz is focusing on Colombia, the meeting of Deco and Diaz of course silences all speculation circulating if Hansi Flick does not need new players to restore Barcelona glory next season.

In addition to diaz, reportedly deco has also begun to target several other players who are indeed in accordance with flick current wishes, but the problem now is that the players targeted by deco are star players and the club mainstay, so that often the clubs will set a high price if there are other clubs who want to buy him,  The question now is whether Barcelona has the ability to buy ?  

Let me put it this way, it took Real 45 million to get Vinicious, 100 million for Jude, 5 million for Valverde and raised him from Castilla to main squad, and 45 million for Rodrygo, and now free for Mbappe. So, those players all combined transfer value is 195 million, most teams at the top level spend that on yearly basis and get nothing, hell if you remove Jude, they spent 95 million on Vini, Rodrygo, Valverde and Mbappe, can you imagine that?

They are not "business savy" teams, they are just Real Madrid, and players wants to go there, and teams can't expect a ton of money, or player will leave for free. Like PSG for example, they could have sold Mbappe, they didn't, now they made zero, so teams knows this and accepts cheapest they can.

Since Florentina Perez served as president of Real Madrid in 2009, Real Madrid has truly been at the peak of its glory, because from then until now Real Madrid has truly become a team that has won many trophies. This of course cannot be separated from Florentina Perez's cold and careful attitude, who is always wise in spending money on her club. Because as we know, until now Real Madrid has never really experienced significant financial difficulties. Because in essence, every time Real Madrid spends money to buy expensive players it can always bring very positive results. So in essence, the Real Madrid analysis team deserves a thumbs up for this. The reason is that they are rarely wrong in choosing which players to bring to Real Madrid. That's why Real Madrid is really a very successful team at the moment. Because the club president, management team, analysis team, club coaches and players really carry out their duties very well. So it's not surprising that Real Madrid is currently the team with the 3rd most expensive squad in the world.

Then when it comes to Barcelona, ​​I think it will be very difficult for them to recover from the financial downturn they are currently experiencing. The reason is that the mistakes made by Barcelona in the 2014 season until now have been very fatal. So for now Barcelona just needs to be a team that can really manage the players it currently has very well. Because Barcelona definitely has to limit buying players in the transfer market. Maybe for now Barcelona has to really fight little by little to make Barcelona recover. And I personally don't completely blame Laporta, because of course this happened to Barcelona as a result of everyone who worked there not working well.

When a team competes, they get money from various sectors, for example from ticket sales, winning bets at gambling venues and others. All teams that compete in several big competitions want their team to win because the money they will get will be very high. The money that has been collected is of course not used unilaterally. When the team needs new players at a fairly high price, they still have the money generated from previous wins. As happened with Real Madrid. They managed to win the competition last season, so they collected a lot of money and they were able to buy Mbappe at a fairly expensive price.

It is not easy to manage the financial conditions of a football team because the conditions they experience are very different. Barcelona some time ago experienced a very worrying crisis which had an impact on the performance of its players. Hopefully Barcelona can learn from this experience and be more careful when deciding to buy new players.

I've also heard about Nico Williams and rather than Luis Diaz it seems like Barcelona will be closer to Nico Williams. Because I don't think Liverpool will easily give up Luis Diaz, especially since Liverpool doesn't have a good left winger like Luis Diaz. So it looks like as long as Liverpool can keep Luis Diaz from leaving then Barcelona won't get him.

Florian Wirtz? I think most people already know that this Leverkusen player will be a Real Madrid transfer in 2025 and it seems like Barcelona won't be able to do anything if their rival is Real Madrid, which has everything. So I think Florian Wirtz going to Barcelona is just a baseless rumor, especially with a market value of 130 million euros, Barcelona doesn't have that kind of money to sign him.

Financial strength of course provides an advantage for Madrid in building a qualified squad, so far Madrid has always brought in many star players but their financial condition is still relatively very stable, so it seems that the financial management owned by Madrid is currently well regulated and of course Perez has managed to make Madrid develop both from their current achievements and finances,  Unlike Barcelona which is now in a very bad financial condition and even before was threatened with bankruptcy due to the lack of balance in their finances, Barcelona is no different from Madrid which is a big team in La Liga, previously they also had very good finances but Barcelona financial management that was not well managed made them now in bad finances.

Looking at Barcelona current condition, of course, it is difficult to say that they will soon recover and stabilize, currently Laporta still continues to choose alternatives to sell broadcasting rights, cut player salaries and also sell players to stabilize their finances, but I think it only has a short and non-permanent impact in solving existing problems, if Laporta cares about Barcelona, he should have to find a more effective solution in solving the problem that exist today.

This is Joan Laporta's mistake so they are now suffering the consequences. Regarding when they will recover and be able to compete again with Real Madrid in the race for the title, I think it will take a long time, especially since their rivals are able to make the team's performance very stable, so it will be even more difficult for Barcelona.

Currently, Barcelona has no other way to build a team other than hoping for young players from their academy. They must produce superior or potential seeds to develop in the next few seasons so they can compete with Real Madrid.

I predict that maybe in the next 3 or 5 seasons, when some of Barcelona's potential young players will have enough experience and have matured, they will be able to compete with Real Madrid and regarding the team's financial recovery, when they can achieve success, it will take a little longer.

Proper management of the club allows them to maintain a balance between investments and achievements, they invest a lot of money in players, but by winning titles they receive large prize money which can cover most of the expenses. With the same calculation, Barcelona recruited players, they hoped to achieve big victories and thus get out of a difficult financial situation, but this is not always as easy to do as it seems. When there are financial problems, then among other things, you also need to be able to conduct competent financial planning, without this nothing will change, it seems that Flick shares this point of view.

Yes, those times were the most beautiful where Real Madrid had many star players who really made European football admired by everyone, especially for every UCL competition, but now new era has emerged and hopefully they will be able to maintain their throne at the top European football.
And all this success is always inseparable from the performance of coaches who are able to maintain Real Madrid stability every season, look all Real Madrid coaches are great coaches and so far they have never failed in leading Real Madrid during their tenure.
Lastly, Ancelotti is an old man figure who is able to lead the Real Madrid squad and can manage all his players very well, he can determine what Real Madrid deserves and can prove that new era for Real Madrid has truly begun.

Everyone who works for Real Madrid, whether in management within the team or at the top level, can always work very well, they can avoid various problems that are detrimental to the team and can take lot of careful consideration into every decision they take.
Apart from that, there is no problem that they cannot solve well, whether it is financial or the arrival and departure of players can always end up according to expectations.

Real Madrid is not the richest club in Europe but the richest club in La Liga because it has great players with the highest prices among other clubs in the league, but Real Madrid is the best club in the world so it is natural that it has a very good reputation and finances. stable even though they can recruit expensive players but Real Madrid can always manage their finances so that they don't exceed the limit, Real Madrid can recruit players at fantastic prices but Real Madrid never does it because they always manage their finances so as not to dig into their pockets too much.

Real Madrid is aware that they have a very good reputation and have been around for a long time, thus encouraging the world's best players to go here without Real Madrid even spending money, just like Mbappe who came to Real Madrid on a free transfer even though as we know, Mbappe is one of them the player who has the most expensive price in the world at the moment but he is willing not to extend his contract just because he wants to play at Real Madrid so he can achieve his dream since childhood.

Even though Perez had built the Los Galacticos squad, which of course required a large player budget, Perez was very astute in buying players. Of course Ancelotti also has a hand here. But as far as I know, Real Madrid rarely buys players who are overpriced and end up harming the club's finances. Some of the players they bought, if they can't become core players, are at least very good when they become supersubs. This is different from Barcelona, ​​which has made many mistakes when purchasing players in the past. The best purchase they ever made was when they made the MSN trio but after that several failed purchases left Barcelona in a financial crisis because they were in conflict with Financial Fair Play rules.

Exactly, Dembele and Coutinho have had outstanding performances at Barcelona, but not for Griezmann. Griezman has recorded 35 goals in 102 games for Barcelona; while that statistic is not bad, but he is not a good fit for the club. Barcelona has  faced intense pressure to reduce its wages bill at that time. So the club opted to sell him back to Atlético Madrid. But the worst part was when Barcelona dropped his price from 40 million to 20 million.

Barcelona is currently experiencing financial difficulties because of consistently sold their players at low prices. To summarize, it's not all the players recruited by Barcelona were bad, but Barcelona was always mismanaging their players, which caused Barcelona to suffer various of financial problems.



Real Madrid never had a managerial problem like Barcelona, and there is no doubt that Madrid has been successful in reassembling their greatest squad. Perez's good management helped Real Madrid a lot; as an president, Perez's decisions were always very accurate when compared to Barcelona's president.

This is the point. They have money. They have the money because the Madrid management knows very well how and where to spend the money will benefit them. And I will give full credit to Madrid boss Florentina Perez. Perez is very experienced. This is why the Madrid team does not face financial crisis.

If Joan Laporta had spent money with some ingenuity and caution, the Barcelona team would not have faced such a financial crisis. I would definitely blame Joan Laporta for Barcelona and the bad situation. Because even a few years ago, Barcelona was in a stronger financial position. But now Barcelona are in a very bad position. We don't know when Barcelona will be able to stabilize financially and dominate La Liga again. It is now a difficult task for Barcelona.

Real Madrid didn't prepare anything, but they have money and are financially stable, that's why they have been able to survive until now. Having competent player assets makes the Real Madrid squad able to become the kings of La Liga, even though spending money on players is not able to match Real Madrid's players.  with all existing aspects, Real Madrid has always been a candidate for the Champions League, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid is always easy with what this club wants to achieve, everything is always achieved easily, even though they are undergoing regeneration, they always apply their players to good and proven patterns in all competitions,  However, despite this, Real Madrid has a weakness that Real Madrid has never achieved, namely the Trible Winner, which Real Madrid has never experienced while having players in the CR7 era.

Result is the best evidence to prove to people which Real Madrid has proven it to people in this season by winning the la Liga league title, because they prepared well and they are stronger more than Barcelona and other teams in this competition. I think, Real Madrid managements are doing a great job that will make Real Madrid team to continue to challenge any team in la Liga league competition and other competitions, because they always add new potential players to their team to make the team stronger to achieve their goal. Real Madrid manager has  succeeded to signed in Mbappe in this season with huge amount of funds which other teams don't have the funds for only one striker, but Real Madrid manager know that he will going to add value to the team next season.

Kudos to the genius of the Real Madrid board of directors in transfer policy, they have learned from the experience of failed transfers in the past by applying caution in spending money to bring in players. Bringing Bellingham sooner than expected was Real Madrid genius in carrying out regeneration in their squad. Modric and Toni Kroos, who had entered retirement age, were immediately anticipated by bringing in younger and more talented players. Mbappe arrival is a big advantage for Real Madrid, he is still young, he is also a top striker who has above average skills. Real Madrid patience paid off after successfully getting Mbappe for free.

Barcelona have made decisions that were detrimental to the club in the past, now they are feeling the consequences of their mistakes. One of the blunders that Barcelona made when they brought in Griezmann for a high price was that the gamble that Barcelona made on Griezmann did not meet expectations, which meant they had to sell the player back at a cheaper price. The financial crisis that Barcelona is currently experiencing makes it difficult for them to bring in quality players. Now Barcelona will have even more difficulty competing with Real Madrid after their rival succeeded in building a strength that is difficult for any club to match.

Yes, it's natural that maybe last season Barcelona had to be unable to compete with Real Madrid because they had a lot of financial differences that provided support for getting more quality players, whereas last season Barca had stronger pressure when several main players suffered serious injuries and had to be absent for the long term and reserve players who are unable to replace the main player's position.
Compared to Real Madrid, it is more comfortable because it doesn't have any pressure because Ancelotti has managed to maintain the physical condition of the players to avoid injury.

One of the characteristics of Real Madrid that has always been maintained is by maintaining the quality of players and not letting problems last longer, or in other words, Real Madrid is always quick to resolve problems that occur at their club and Real Madrid is usually always able to maintain the cooperation of their club by uniting other players to create a stable performance.
It is Florentino Pérez's greatness that he always knows what his club needs and always makes fair decisions in the long term.

Disagree with your opinion about some players above signed by Barcelona are overrate values, most of them have impressive performance with their club before from Philippe Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé but Barcelona failed giving them right position and more minutes playing make them getting downtrend performed. Finally most of overrate values players signing by Barcelona have to sell too cheapest values with decreasing of transfer fees more than 50%.

Difference with Real Madrid signed, in this season success signed Jude Bellingham although spending above 100 million euro and the super sub players Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler playing well in this season. For next season, Real Madrid is the only one team already with completing squad and has bigger opportunities for winning La Liga trophy back to back.

Real Madrid is the most ready team in La Liga. Madrid boasts a lot of seasoned players in any position in the squad, and thanks to a long-term project developed by Real Madrid; nevertheless, the liga is not only about Real Madrid and Barcelona; also, Im still only considering Barcelona and Real Madrid as the most capable team in winning the league.
Hansi's flick has to start from scratch in order to rebuild Barcelona team once more, but yet again, the financial situation might be impeding Barcelona's ability to transform the team. Barcelona has begun an effort to overhaul the team, as laporta mentioned on his interview. All things considered, it offers actual chances for a club with highest potential to reclaim the title this season.

I'm not really undervaluing other La liga teams. If Barcelona and atletico madrid can accomplish their project shorter, and I'm sure they will compete with madrid for the championship race. This is the main reason club has to be constantly building the team.
Although Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are still somewhat strong in the league, real Madrid is the strongest one to guard their La Liga trophy. Ultimately, it's not too difficult to guess whether Real madrid will still own la liga this season.

There is no doubt that Florentino Pérez takes control of the club in a very good, neat and structured manner so that every decision can always be considered well and carefully. In essence, there is no staff at Real Madrid who has different goals, Florentino Pérez recruits people he trusts so that whatever decision Florentino Pérez takes will be a decision agreed upon by all Real Madrid parties. Purchasing players, health departments, facilities and those who organize training are all well managed. Not only that, Ancelotti is also someone who Pérez can always rely on to guarantee that everything is according to the initial goals. This is why Real Madrid is so different from Barcelona, ​​which seems more messy in terms of management. It could be said that Barcelona management is the opposite of Real Madrid's management.
