As a brazilian, you guys have no ideia how much that Endrick interview and specifically the Bobby Charlton stuff blew up here. There's memes everywhere about it and it's really funny.
@@FootballIconic There's a lot of people angry about the Bellingham over Neymar comment, there's speculation that it could be bad to the national team locker room because he "disrespected a legend". The Bobby Charlton thing is just really funny and became a huge meme here. I think he said that to look cool or whatever but the people here seem to see that is just some publicity move or something of that nature.
you guys need a miracle if you have a chance at beating this team for the next 5 years. you need : Laporte to leave the club.(unlikely) Pep coming back.(Never going to happen) Ter Stegen leaving the club.(unlikely) Either LaMasia to step it up HUGELY or spend hundreds of millions to get reliable 8/10 s for most of the season type players . So all in all what you need is a miracle.
3:24 Ronaldo was a Superstar at Man UTD He joined Real Madrid in 2009 Won 4 UCLs in 5 years Become the most popular person on social media Real Madrid have recipe of "How CR7 become so successful" They are giving same guidelines to Vini, Jude and now Mbappe to follow CR7's footsteps Thats why Mbappe said "We have no limits, I have no limits"
@@Chad4401 What he said was quoted directly from Antonio Pintus's interview. You can deny it all you want, but Cristiano's impact in Madrid transcends much more than those 4 UCLs in 5 years, 450 goals in 438 games. Vini, Endrick, Rodrygo, Mbappe...all idolize Cristiano and that's one of the reasons why Pintus has prepared, in his own words, the "Cristiano routine" for them. It was featured on RMTV last month, go look it up.
All those players are nothing compared to CR7.. stop being Delusional. Just as Yamal is nothing compared to messi. People need to stop comparing average players to the absolute GOATS of football just to get hyped for the new season. The Player quality is LOW. This real madrid team, would win nothing 10-20 years ago. BUT today, they are ABSOLUTLY the best.. Unfortunatly not a lot of good players exist right now.. and the few that are good are all in real madrid... And no other team is doing particularly good except maybe City. I
I've been watching you for like 3 years now man, time flies. The growth has been amazing, and the quality of the videos just gets better and better. You're doing great man, love these shorter vids sprinkled in with the longer essays (I like the video essay's more tho). Keep it up man, well done.
@@FootballIconic I look forward to them, appreciate it man. If I could recommend any topics in the future, It'd have to be the history of football in the Soviet Union. Similar to the one you did with Germany. I don't think Soviet football gets enough videos about it on youtube, It'd be great. They were a top side in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

@@NIDELLANEUM Bundesliga has survived without being competitive, German fans themselves have kept that league afloat, there's just a different culture in France.
Perhaps it’s me, but La Liga seems to be more exciting than ever before. Atleti are back, with great signings that compliment the squad; Bilbao are going to look great and Nico will continue to develop into a superstar; Real Betis have a strong team that could give anyone a run for their money; Sociedad have qualified for Europe again, and that experience from last season will carry them into this one. Overall, I don’t think Madrid will be as dominant as people are making them out to be. Last season was really bad as injuries piled on for every team, but this year will be fantastic. Cheers to a great season!
Madrid injury list last season was wayyy longer than any team in the league and they still won comfortably. what's your point really.? some teams improved.? yea, maybe. but so does Madrid. if injury crisis won't be a thing, they literally would smash everybody
@@fatih8053 We underestimate Bilbao. This team knocked out Atleti and Barca in back to back cup matches on their way to winning the Copa Del Rey, one would say they dominated Atleti. The only thing I would be worried about is their defense, but most would say that area is better than their attack.
The only one (seemingly last season) strong team that not improved is Girona. They sells 2-4 of their key players. Really thought they will finish next season better than Barca based on last season performance, but my expectation reduced because their transfer
La Liga is my favorite league to follow. I know a lot of premier league fans think it's a 2 team farmers league, but it's not. It's basically the highest level of play where flair powered players can still get enough time on the ball to have some fun and show off, which I think is a great thing. The teams have great support and great derbies/rivalries, and a much broader range of tactical ideas than the prem. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the prem isn't the best league from top to bottom but personally I am really exhausted by the emphasis on efficiency over fun, efficiency over beauty, efficiency over creativity, efficiency over everything, and the copycat nature of tactical trends in the prem. If you're burnt out on the hurly burly who-wants-it-more no fun allowed nature of the prem then give La Liga a try. It's wonderful football honestly. Also, they kick lumps out of each other lmao.
The reason why people are calling this Madrid team the most dangerous is because of the potential. The squad assembled during the last two galacticos era consisted of players in their prime but the current Madrid squad is still so young but is already so good. It’d be scary when all these players hit their prime in a couple of years and also the fact that Madrid just made a billion in revenue last season shows that they are financially stable/healthy and can keep adding the best players itw. And yes other European giants apart from City are going through transition which makes Real favourites for all the titles atleast for the next couple of years
The second Galatico Era managed to be so impressive that, over a decade later (2022 and 2024), the few players left were still good enough for the team to dominate the Champions League. Now, you have to do it with lots of star players who are 25 *at the oldest* which means that, unless something bad happens, you could be set for a whole decade. Heck, 10 years from now, Endrick will be only *slightly* older than Mbappé is now
Barca fan here-things could be much worse. We are assembling the Spanish avengers with Pedri and Gavi coming back soon, 17 year old wonder kid Lamal, up and coming star Fermin, and euro top scorer Olmo. Hopefully Hansi can bring his Bayern strength and conditioning expertise to our players, if our boys can have a full season majorly injury free we could be a force to be reckoned with.
Are barca ever gonna realize that playing full 90 min matches week in week out is too much for a 18 year old (let alone 16 year old) and that it only threatens to destroy their careers long term? They should really give yamal a break every once in a wgile or he'll end up like fati or pedri and that would be a shame coming from a madrid fan. That kid deserves a healthier environment...
As a barca fan, yet again disappointed by the board. We had such obvious and feasible targets in merino and williams who would fix so many of the weaknesses of our team and would genuinely make us a lot more competitive. Instead, due to incompetence and a complete lack of proper priorities, we went for olmo instead, a player that we dont need, and who might nd up giving a talent like fermin (who has been insane in the olympics) far less opportunity. The only real hope right now is that all this is because olmo is a player that potentially works better with flick's system but we will have to see about that. Its honestly very disappointing considering just how much talent we have and how much we continue to get from la masia, even with a slightly competent board we should be one of the best clubs itw, but that just isnt the case. Still, hope we have a better season than last season and win something haha
That's the thing, you can't sign them, the board lying to you, why do you think they sacked Xavi after spending 6 months trying to convince him to stay??? Anyone saying FCB cant sign players will be fired ?
As a Madrid fan, this team (except the defence and injury parts) gives me a feeling of walking on air. That front three can be mesmeric whenever they need to be.
Bruh 😂 I said the same thing like what a time to be alive being a Madirista in this era just feels like we are blessed and highly favored 🙌 we eating good
Endricks father used to show him Bobby Charltons matches online, even has Charlton in his Fifa team for a while in his streams. That's where it comes from, people online would rather hate on the kid
Just even thinking about Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo makes my head right. As a liverpool fan we can fairly say we're screwed if we get them in the champions league
This “Mbappé ego” thing is getting pretty old… especially when the main source of that is someone like Neymar 💀 I can’t take him seriously. He’s known for having an ego too, it’s quite literally the reason why he left Barcelona
From what I have heard and understand nobody has anything bad to say about Mbappe I found it weird at PSG when Messi and Neymar were there these rumours mysteriously were fabricated out of nowhere but on the French national team they all sing his praises and at Real Madrid they all speak very highly of him and seem to love him as you said I think it's salty Neymar fans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Model_Roe I started noticing the pattern and I hope other people start too eventually. There’s plenty of coaches and teammates who speak fondly of Mbappé, way more than people who speak badly of him. In fact, Neymar is quite literally the only one he seems to have a bad relationship with… and Neymar himself isn’t person worth defending. Him and Cavani used to clash a lot over penalty kicks, there’s footage of them arguing during live games. There’s footage of Neymar physically fighting a teammate during his last practices with Barcelona. And the truth is you just won’t find anything like that about Mbappé. He’s had this villain reputation for years all built off his relationship with a singular player, and it was clear that it was just a relationship that soured. Mbappé dodged a bullet because he was very young and had he stayed besties with Neymar, he’d lose his focus and probably ruin his career. Neymar himself is proof that talent isn’t everything
@@Model_Roeliterally I think Mbappe started overshadowing Neymar, which made Neymar and his fans to develop some sort of resentment plus I also think Messi doesn’t like Mbappe After Argentina won the World Cup messi let his teammates sing disrespectful chants towards Mbappe.
@@ninanano Neymar was his own worst enemy talented yes but did not have the drive to push himself to get to that higher level not to mention the dude cared more about partying and drinking and impreganantig random women all over the world than being a serious footballer and I agree with you I think he is the one with the ego problem and his fans deflected to Mbappe to try scapegoat him to make excuses as why Neymar did not perform well at PSG I mean he left Barcelona to come to Paris because he did not like being in Messis shadow and wanted to be the star like I just dont take him seriously and at this point his legacy is kinda tarnished
This exactly. And as a French person I can tell you most of the malicious nonsense comes from french journalists who are always looking to create slanders pieces on players based of of second hand sources and rumors
Regarding Barcelona,there were 4 glaring and very visible holes in the squad GK,DM,LW and ST,it has been clear for months that Roque was on his way out Lewandowski is almost if not entirely finished at the highest level ,Felix wasn’t it on the wing,Romeu was useless as a DM,Ter Stegen has been a liability in big games for almost a decade and somehow he’s the captain and the injuries have been crippling for years now. In a window where the club should have planned extensively for next season and had multiple options for each position they signed an injury prone player for 60 mill in the squad’s most stacked position,are forcing a 17yo with 0 pro appearances to play the most difficult position in football in one of the most high pressure environments in football,have another rookie with no pro experience covering for Lewandowski,are counting on rookies and a possible Cancelo(who was horrendous on the 3 most important games last ssn) loan to cover the fullback options all while still employing below par players like Ferran,Lenglet EricGarcia&Iñaki Peña aswell as not being able to get rid of Frenkie de Jong and the 37 mill gross he takes in a season which is around 10% of the entire wage bill while also paying Lewy 34 mill for 20 goals a season, one could say that they can let this season slide and look forward to the next but with the sheer incompetence at the top it’s quite literally impossible to compete with Real and maybe soon even Atletico unless La Masia produces 5 different world class talents for the different positions that are needed.
Real Madrid is known for its Galácticos policy, which involves signing the world's best players, such as Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham to create a superstar team. Madrid have relaxed the Galácticos policy, instead focusing on signing young talents such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.
Literally all the players you mentioned are the today's galacticos... Not on the same scale, but those are ( unfortunatly) the best the world has to offer right now. Like seriously the only improvement this squad can get is probably Remove Tchuameni for Rodri... and that's it.
Well this Video has not aged well, Mallorca did 1:1 against Real Madrid. Real Madrid has lost one, if not the best midfielder in Football Toni Kroos and they have a big Problem replacing him. Mbappe is a Great Player but i dont think they need another striker, having Vini and Rodrygo there.
Great watch as always 🫡👊🏿. I think we defend the league but won't win the CL. Going back to back is tough even tho we've done it before during the 3 peat. But should be a fun season ahead. There are gonna be teams that expose us but there's always gonna be games where we are just vibing. Coz tactically we are there to be exposed since Carlo is not rigid like other coaches but I love it coz it gives us a early 2000s feel to our team.
*And just to clarify for anybody that sees that later, that doesn't mean Carlo isn't a good tactician. I only always bring that up to give him his flowers with regards to the freedom he allows his players. So we are tactically sound but not in the sort of well drilled and automated way that maybe a Man City is where they follow Peps blueprint to a tee. Carlo blueprint is more of a suggestion and he kinda just allows the individuals to interpret it how they want depending on game state. So that's what kinda leaves us "vulnerable" in a sense coz we just go with the flow. So that's where the early 2000s feel comes from.
When you look at RM vs. Barca squad, and i told you that this is the situation after Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry, you'd probably say i was joking. RM is light years ahead. I'm not a fan of either. Neutral.
@@TomBom14smart move for mboope ya but still that's crazy. When has a player of his caliber ever joined another team on a free transfer it's wild to think about
Were not worried. We have very versatile players. Even Carvajal has played at CB when we needed him. We have Alaba coming back this season also. We have Tchouchameni as a backup, and Vallejo as well as another academy player can step in as another backup. Hala Madrid
Here are my thoughts on Barça, as a Barça fan since the era of Ronaldinho. Barça needs Nico, but he won't sign unless they pay more than they can afford, not because he wants money, but because he wants to stay at Bilbao for another season and only an offer he can't refuse will make him leave right now. As for up front, we can definitely build something with Yamal, Pau Victor, and Vitor Roque. We just need a good, young, talented left winger (Nico). If these three can keep improving and work towards forming an offensive core with the already stacked midfield, we won't be left questioning if the hole Lewandowski will leave is a problem. We have a decent defense, although I think signing a few full backs would help the squad depth a lot. Balde is essentially our only left back as Valle has not been impressive with Levante. We also have 1 real right back in Hector Fort, who's promising talent but needs development. I think this season will be more about developing the younger talent and keeping our key players free of injury to at least have a chance at the La Liga title as well as international success. In that regard, Dani Olmo is the most baffling PR stunt Barça has pulled in recent years. This player is great, but we did not need to sign him. We needed more full backs, not another midfielder.
As a Barca fan, just ignore, well, 80% of the Barca fanbase, we are just f*cked. Real Madrid is ..., you already know. ATM is looking strong with their roster and also have loads of new signing that if they work out, they can put up a really good fight against Real. And more importantly, they are signings that Simione asked for. And for Barca, well: - No replacement for Busquets, a year after his departure. There are some new kids from La Masia, but whether they will pull a Lamine Yamal or not is still in doubt. - The signing of Dani Olmo, it feels like the sole reason for it is just for Laporta and Deco to glaze themselves. Put the injury proneness aside, tactically, Olmo arrival can potentially detrimental to other players' progress. Olmo playing on left wing will disable Balde's strength and expose his weakness. Olmo as a number 10 will massively reduce the playing time of some of the most promising talents we have, directively affect Fermin Lopez, a player with various unique attributes in comparision to other Barca midfielders. And put Pedri in a position which may not be entirely new to him, but will not utterlize his abilities. That being said, I will still fully support Olmo and hope him the best. So yeah, I may consider going to the nearest pharmacy to buy some pacemakers or smt. This season is gonna be loooong for us Barca fan.
and another thing, hope we won't make Lamine Yamal play about a trillion games next season like we did with Fati, Pedri, Gavi (and Balde?). I will lose my mind if he got a 7 months long injury and end his season after matchday 2.
im a die hard RM fan and i totally agree with everything you said. Olmo is an amazing player and i hope does well at Barca, but he is a classic #10 which is not used as often these days and it will slow down the pace of play for the team at times. If hes to play as a false 9 you HAVE better options on the deck like Fremin Lopez and many more. its like, you got a superstar from france, we have the spaniard super star kinda replay! you need a CM, we need a classic #8. and if De Jong leaves you guys are really f*cked..
Olmo will be fine on the wings, flick alwyas has his wingers inverted, you can see that from the pre season games, also we are going to use double pivots, what you should worry about is if lewa gonna play good, team have energy to press for 90 mins, players play smart(since the system from flick depends on how the players play through the middle) balde learns how to cross and alex valle play rb instead of kounde in smaller games.
I will say, because you’re Barca, you’ll always be attractive to top players + you still have a number of talented players: Pedri, Gavi, Lamine… you’ll be back to the top.
@@sonicwithglasses131 my point is, playing him as a inside foward would be suitable for him, but will expose Balde's weakness. Because Balde would have to stay wide to provide width, and we can easily see his weakness (his crossing, or just his end products in general).
Its actually so silly to say Gallagher was Chelsea's best player last season, when palmer finished the season with second most goals in the league got a bunch of assists and even on an eye test got a whole lot of creativity in his game. Gusto was also great as a RB. Gallagher was probs tied for number 3 with caicedo
@FootballIconic sure that's fair my bad. Although even arguing that he had the most consistent season would be quite contentious given how consistent Palmer was (especially when he started getting regular minutes, starting with Burnley away).
The problem with the first era of galacticos was the lack of chemistry and especially the defense. The acquisitions of players like Zidane, R9, Beckham and the rest only screams a sense of offense while absolutely no one recalls the emphasis Real had for their defense that era. I'm hoping Madrid could acquire Trent after his contract ends and potentially another CB
"Simone is entering his 13th season as Madrid manager" - I have NEVER, FELT, OLDER!! I still remember his first 3 seasons in charge, that Madrid Derby, the shit he would do on the touchline and run back to his changing room to avoid shaking manager hands because he LIVES and BREATHES Athletico Madrid... Legend. The guy is an OUT an OUT, SAVAGE!!
Mind you he’s says that now but couple years before, Vini wasn’t good just gonna be another Douglas costa, rodrygo isn’t Madrid level, and no one not even us Madrid fans expected Bellingham to have the season he had. Plus everyone knew mbappe was always gonna come to us
That aura and Hype will end when Madrid lose or draw a random game in la liga, probably sooner than we expect. That is because any team in La Liga can be competitive; they are used to fight against Barcelona, Madrid, Atlético, Sevilla, Villarreal, Bilbao or Real Sociedad and win them games as its life depend on it. It is a really tough league, underrated by british media just to sell its farmer premier league to low foreign IQ football spectators. For decades it´s been far more competitive in european competitions thanks to Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético, Sevilla and Villarreal. Madrid have a dream team and strong bench, yet they need to be consistent enough to get titles and also take care of their opponents performance in laliga and champions league.
I remember Deportivo La Coruna, Real Betis… being up there in like, the early 2000’s. Diego Tristan, Roy Makaay (sp?) for Deportivo, a young Joaquin for Betis… good times 😀
@@nas84payne yeah, it is a consequence of competing hard in laliga, from time to time a strong squad appears and make a good season, so they play europe and perform.
Endrick saying Jude Bellingham over Neymar actually shows Ancelotti's great man management. Ancelotti has implemented Messi-Neymar-Suarez friendship & brotherhood in RM that has made the players players have strong connection to their team & compatriots. So Endricks preferring Bellingham is no joke but players respecting each other much more for club than national teamates
Endrick has always been a huge fan of Jude's he's always spoken very highly of him and like the rest of the Real Madrid players you can tell they all look up to him lol 😂 even Mbappe
@@Model_Roe Yes & nope but it shows their level of bonding with each other, else it's very tough to have great & star forwards like Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Mbappe, Bellingham etc play without ego & do seamless transitioning wrt passes. Bellingham & Vini Jr quickly linked up with Mbappe's positioning says a lot
@@kothicamedarth2680 the fact they're all good friends irl is why they have such great chemistry on the pitch Carlo knows this I heard he sets up dinner's with the players seating players who speak different languages besides each other so they can bond it seems very minute but it's a very essential part of building a club

Your whole comment reeks of coping..Are you really still that mad that Leo won the WC so you cant hate on him for that anymore?
La Liga has been getting so much more enjoyable lately. These past 2-3ish seasons have been great to watch outside of the actual title race. That qualification for the UCL spot being up in the air for Girona, Athletic, Sociedad, and Betis is so exciting

Endrick is a huge fan of Jude's he's always spoken very highly of him way before officially joining the squad so that's not surprising I think he's being sincere plus he's entitled to his opinion idk why people are so bothered
No entendéis nada, de repente se juntan vinicius mbappe bellingham rodrigo arda guler y tantos otros... Pero eso lejos de hacer que laliga tenga problemas, de repente la hace mucho más atractiva para los propios jugadores que quieran fichar por un equipo español y enfrentarse contra esa clase de equipos y jugadores más a menudo. Lo puedes ver en el Atlético de Madrid y tantos otros que poco a poco están haciendo muy buenos fichajes para tratar de enfrentarse al madrid. Y también ganarán más dinero simplemente por enfrentarse a un equipo que genera TANTÍSIMA expectación. La liga le debe una al real Madrid y más específicamente a Don Florentino Pérez Rodríguez.
UCL format is different this season, of course we are the favourites but regular rotations are essential to like literally win everything we can. One match at a time! Also we really need to overhaul the tactics as Kroos isnt there and available player profiles are very different to him. But Don Carlo will figure it out. Hala Madrid ❤
we should be fine but first couple of games will be our mid field struggling but with the coaching staff and the talent of these players im sure they can fix the problem of kroos not being there but theres no one like kroos who can just cross the ball from anywhere and make a play
none of the things you said is relevant becouse there is simply NO COMPETITION for real madrid this season. Don't just look at real madrid. Look at everyone else who could potentionally rival real madrid. They are all in a TERRIBLE state. Even city, which is the top contender is not looking sharp this season. Liverpool is gone with no klop, italy in general is in a bad state .. and Even bayern is in the worst state i've seen it since.. 2010? i dont even remember the last time i saw a weak bayern. MU doesn't exist, chelsea doesn't exist, barcelona doesn't exist..... So who is there to rival real madrid really?
@@akhsdenlew1861 Manchester City can pound Real Madrid if their attackers have a good day, like two years ago. I mean, Real Madrid won by penalties and they parked the bus the whole game. If De Bruyne had a little better aim that day...
@@rmv9194 But Mcity is not the same as 2 years ago. And if City has Rodri injured or something like that, it's over. And even if we accept that City is the one and only team that can rival real madrid. it's still a very sad reality. Football has fallen quite a bit the last couple of years. Very few clubs are in a good shape.
Real Madrid have the attack covered with the three upfront and 3 on the bench (Arda, Brahim and Endrick) that can give you different option. Real Madrid Still NEED two defensive mind midfielders. Arda and Modric could try but they can't give you 65-70 mins every 3 days, Dani Ceballos is not good for attack or defend so he's just a waste of wage. Camavinga out for 6-7 weeks means Real Madrid is just one Tchouaméni injury away from disaster. Tchouaméni is not the only CDM but he's also the back up CB. Real Madrid starting 11 is great but the bench is weak at midfield and defense.
As a cule who's following the transfer updates everyday from insider journalists, Deco NEEDS to fucking leave. He's extremely incompetent and he feels like that guy at the auction who just can't lose, even if it brings him under. We overpay for flashy signings we absolutely don't need. I was hoping we'd sign a pivot and a winger this season, MAYBE even dream of a right back which we're also seriously lacking because kounde prefers CB. Okay, in the order of priority, kounde can keep doing RB, cacado and bernal look promising for the pivot roles, but where. is. our. left. wing. singing. What makes the whole summer even more dissappointing is that at one point, it seems as though nico agreed to the deal and barca just didnt have upfront cash, which is how they got initially rejected for olmo as well, by leipzig. Leipzig demanded more upfront cash and barca caved for some reason. Even more frustrating is the fact that barca was seriously linked to chiesa and coman, to the point where reports claimed that juventus, seeing as though they wanted to sell chiesa, were offering him to barca at a discounted 15-20m range. We spent all that time hyperfocused on two singings, not even looking at options. that's clearly not the blaugrana's legacy in the market rn
Chiesa would've been an amazing signing because when he's fit that man tears up the flanks. I think Olmo was signed as part of Flick's strategy as he's well known for a demanding holding midfield and quick counters, so players who can distribute from a chokepoint in traffic will get more game time
Why buy Olmo when Fermin Lopez is getting better & better ? They wanted to sell Frankie (whose market demand is less & wont fetch any value) now he shouldn't be, they should test him under Flick.
@@luvadouglaolmo is going on the Lw tbh, thats not bad since flick inverts his wingers to be more at the centre with the cam, striker and the one pivot
Just stop drinking beer and you're one step ahead of the guy you were yesterday. And be the Rodrygo of your field of expertise, and always dunk on that Man City-shaped insecurity whenever you come across it.
I was born in 2003 and i think anyone born between 1995-2003 had the greatest time watching footy. the lineups in the early 2000s were crazy. Footy went downhill after neymar left barca.
@@fatih8053 username checks out lol. I swear turkish fans on social media giving their bs opinions on Güler (who i rate highly!) are so incredibly annoying
It's really crazy that every major league in Europe has only 2 or 3 actual contenders within their respective leagues. Every other team has to scrap their way through the season.
Xavi insisted they need a CDM and wanted Zubimendi… instead they bought Victor Roque and Romeu… Even the simplest of managers redos you could have a team with Zubimendi and Guiu maybe even Nico over Olmo.
Olmo will be fine since flick has his wingers tuck in to the centre, flick uses a double pivot would be great for gavi(the ball winner) and fdj(the pivot that would be further up).
@@sonicwithglasses131 FDJ has never been successful as a pivot. They don’t need Olmo to tuck in otherwise they would have no width. Pedri and Gundogen wants TJ attack the same half spaces.
@@wayneverhoff2790 my bad, i should have said double pivot, thats what flick plays with, i hope flick doesnt play gundogan and pedri at the same time, pedri is 100% gonna be the no.10, that would mean gundo as one of the double pivot which sounds like trouble for us
Barcelona Fan Here:TLDR summary. Good Player. Good Coach. Bad Management. We are quite concerned(most of us) about the ability of Deco sitting as part of the board and thus the desicions of the board in general. More levrage must be given to Hansi as he is a coach who has proven himself at Bayen Munchen.
Yeah, they are OP on paper, but without a leader and superb passer like Modric or Kroos it all falls apart. Bellingham is still young and inexperienced compared to those two veterans and the first game against Mallorca endind 1:1 says enough. On paper they should be destroying everyone left, right and center, but it's not as easy as everyone thinks. Remember, the Galácticos era had some of the best players on the planet (R9, Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Roberto Carlos) and they have ultimately been a failure. But one thing everyone has to acknowledge is that Pérez knows the perfect time when to let a player go like Casemiro, Varane etc... They are ruthless and incredibly smart with their transfers, always investing into the future (Rodrygo, Endrick, Vini,Mbappe) and selling players at their highest value for maximum profit. Gotta respect that. It's just good business. He treats the club as a business, because that's what it is, and he runs it very successfully, so kudos to him.
As an Atleti fan, we still lack a left-CB Ideally a good ball playing cb who’d be a upgrade on hermoso Hancko and Hincapie are getting discussed and could only happen if felix is sold
I'm not sure how good they are going to be. When i saw the Ucl final i realized how insanely much they depended on Toni Kroos. He was 100% the most important player for them. And you can't replace that
They won without Kross in 2014 with Di maria (Alonso suspended in the final), Modric and Khedira, just as they won before and after Ronaldo. This is Real Madrid, they will always find a way. They have Camavinga who' only 21, he's a jewel of a midfield talent for god sake.
as a barcelona fan for almost 20 years now, it pains me to say, but they need to stop pretending they can compete with real in any competition, stop spending, develop la masia players like bernal, casado, darvich, and already established young players and focus on getting into the champions league consistently for next few years. if they got their finances in order, i'd be fine with 3rd place.
As a lifelong RM fan it's most satisfying to see how well the club are being run in comparison to some others (and legitimately, without financial doping)Transfer policy seems spot on, coaching great, but there are always criticisms and balanced arguments that can be levelled. First, there are no young Spanish players coming through in the new pack, whereas Barca has a multitude, the youth system at Madrid is only working as a money generator. Second, Madrid have multiple weaknesses as mentioned in your video (defense), but also they have lost their midfield metronome. 2 aging right fullbacks. In footballing terms everyone is underestimate Barca who have a brilliant squad who can compete, but they aren't being run well from a business perspective. If they can get stability on a coaching level and stop making stupid decisions, they will be a force still. I believe a strong Barca is good for Madrid.
5 points in 3 matches. Yeah, really scary that Real Madrid. But they didn't scary Mallorca or Las Palmas, two relegation contenders. Mbappe is well in his way towards 50 goals with 1 goal in 4 matches. So much hype for so little performance.
Canelo is actually perfect for Maresca’s Chelsea. He’s best as an inverting FB. Be play RB (James is always hurt) or LB. I mean I would just sell someone like Chillwell before I did it

Perhaps it’s me, but La Liga seems to be more exciting than ever before. Atleti are back, with great signings that compliment the squad; Bilbao are going to look great and Nico will continue to develop into a superstar; Real Betis have a strong team that could give anyone a run for their money; Sociedad have qualified for Europe again, and that experience from last season will carry them into this one.
Overall, I don’t think Madrid will be as dominant as people are making them out to be. Last season was really bad as injuries piled on for every team, but this year will be fantastic. Cheers to a great season!
Great points! I’m also really interested in Sociedad. Only hearing good things about them
Bilbao have Nico and who else?
They're gonna need a lot more than that if they want to win trophies and finish top 4 or even 5-6.
Madrid injury list last season was wayyy longer than any team in the league and they still won comfortably. what's your point really.? some teams improved.? yea, maybe. but so does Madrid. if injury crisis won't be a thing, they literally would smash everybody
@@fatih8053 We underestimate Bilbao. This team knocked out Atleti and Barca in back to back cup matches on their way to winning the Copa Del Rey, one would say they dominated Atleti. The only thing I would be worried about is their defense, but most would say that area is better than their attack.
The only one (seemingly last season) strong team that not improved is Girona. They sells 2-4 of their key players. Really thought they will finish next season better than Barca based on last season performance, but my expectation reduced because their transfer
La Liga is my favorite league to follow. I know a lot of premier league fans think it's a 2 team farmers league, but it's not. It's basically the highest level of play where flair powered players can still get enough time on the ball to have some fun and show off, which I think is a great thing. The teams have great support and great derbies/rivalries, and a much broader range of tactical ideas than the prem.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the prem isn't the best league from top to bottom but personally I am really exhausted by the emphasis on efficiency over fun, efficiency over beauty, efficiency over creativity, efficiency over everything, and the copycat nature of tactical trends in the prem. If you're burnt out on the hurly burly who-wants-it-more no fun allowed nature of the prem then give La Liga a try. It's wonderful football honestly. Also, they kick lumps out of each other lmao.
Same La Liga is awesome
La liga derbies are literally insane I love them so much
Yep, la liga just plays better football. And lol the last part is true😂
Boring farming league
@@klub7justin if laliga is farmers league than premier league is also farmers league
The reason why people are calling this Madrid team the most dangerous is because of the potential. The squad assembled during the last two galacticos era consisted of players in their prime but the current Madrid squad is still so young but is already so good. It’d be scary when all these players hit their prime in a couple of years and also the fact that Madrid just made a billion in revenue last season shows that they are financially stable/healthy and can keep adding the best players itw. And yes other European giants apart from City are going through transition which makes Real favourites for all the titles atleast for the next couple of years
The second Galatico Era managed to be so impressive that, over a decade later (2022 and 2024), the few players left were still good enough for the team to dominate the Champions League.
Now, you have to do it with lots of star players who are 25 *at the oldest* which means that, unless something bad happens, you could be set for a whole decade. Heck, 10 years from now, Endrick will be only *slightly* older than Mbappé is now
Barca fan here-things could be much worse. We are assembling the Spanish avengers with Pedri and Gavi coming back soon, 17 year old wonder kid Lamal, up and coming star Fermin, and euro top scorer Olmo. Hopefully Hansi can bring his Bayern strength and conditioning expertise to our players, if our boys can have a full season majorly injury free we could be a force to be reckoned with.
Are barca ever gonna realize that playing full 90 min matches week in week out is too much for a 18 year old (let alone 16 year old) and that it only threatens to destroy their careers long term? They should really give yamal a break every once in a wgile or he'll end up like fati or pedri and that would be a shame coming from a madrid fan. That kid deserves a healthier environment...
As a barca fan, yet again disappointed by the board. We had such obvious and feasible targets in merino and williams who would fix so many of the weaknesses of our team and would genuinely make us a lot more competitive. Instead, due to incompetence and a complete lack of proper priorities, we went for olmo instead, a player that we dont need, and who might nd up giving a talent like fermin (who has been insane in the olympics) far less opportunity. The only real hope right now is that all this is because olmo is a player that potentially works better with flick's system but we will have to see about that. Its honestly very disappointing considering just how much talent we have and how much we continue to get from la masia, even with a slightly competent board we should be one of the best clubs itw, but that just isnt the case. Still, hope we have a better season than last season and win something haha

This “Mbappé ego” thing is getting pretty old… especially when the main source of that is someone like Neymar 💀 I can’t take him seriously. He’s known for having an ego too, it’s quite literally the reason why he left Barcelona
From what I have heard and understand nobody has anything bad to say about Mbappe I found it weird at PSG when Messi and Neymar were there these rumours mysteriously were fabricated out of nowhere but on the French national team they all sing his praises and at Real Madrid they all speak very highly of him and seem to love him as you said I think it's salty Neymar fans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Model_Roe I started noticing the pattern and I hope other people start too eventually. There’s plenty of coaches and teammates who speak fondly of Mbappé, way more than people who speak badly of him. In fact, Neymar is quite literally the only one he seems to have a bad relationship with… and Neymar himself isn’t person worth defending. Him and Cavani used to clash a lot over penalty kicks, there’s footage of them arguing during live games. There’s footage of Neymar physically fighting a teammate during his last practices with Barcelona. And the truth is you just won’t find anything like that about Mbappé. He’s had this villain reputation for years all built off his relationship with a singular player, and it was clear that it was just a relationship that soured. Mbappé dodged a bullet because he was very young and had he stayed besties with Neymar, he’d lose his focus and probably ruin his career. Neymar himself is proof that talent isn’t everything
@@Model_Roeliterally I think Mbappe started overshadowing Neymar, which made Neymar and his fans to develop some sort of resentment plus I also think Messi doesn’t like Mbappe After Argentina won the World Cup messi let his teammates sing disrespectful chants towards Mbappe.

Mallorca did pushback
I’d absolutely love it if this Madrid team flopped In every competition. They did just draw to Mallorca
Getting mbappé for free is one of the best deals real has ever made, even if he's a little on the annoying side.
Regarding Barcelona,there were 4 glaring and very visible holes in the squad GK,DM,LW and ST,it has been clear for months that Roque was on his way out Lewandowski is almost if not entirely finished at the highest level ,Felix wasn’t it on the wing,Romeu was useless as a DM,Ter Stegen has been a liability in big games for almost a decade and somehow he’s the captain and the injuries have been crippling for years now. In a window where the club should have planned extensively for next season and had multiple options for each position they signed an injury prone player for 60 mill in the squad’s most stacked position,are forcing a 17yo with 0 pro appearances to play the most difficult position in football in one of the most high pressure environments in football,have another rookie with no pro experience covering for Lewandowski,are counting on rookies and a possible Cancelo(who was horrendous on the 3 most important games last ssn) loan to cover the fullback options all while still employing below par players like Ferran,Lenglet EricGarcia&Iñaki Peña aswell as not being able to get rid of Frenkie de Jong and the 37 mill gross he takes in a season which is around 10% of the entire wage bill while also paying Lewy 34 mill for 20 goals a season, one could say that they can let this season slide and look forward to the next but with the sheer incompetence at the top it’s quite literally impossible to compete with Real and maybe soon even Atletico unless La Masia produces 5 different world class talents for the different positions that are needed.
Real Madrid is known for its Galácticos policy, which involves signing the world's best players, such as Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham to create a superstar team.
Madrid have relaxed the Galácticos policy, instead focusing on signing young talents such as Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.
Mbape isno longer a yugsterbro
In Perez's words, they are focused on signing hardworking talents who happen to be Madridistas.
Literally all the players you mentioned are the today's galacticos... Not on the same scale, but those are ( unfortunatly) the best the world has to offer right now.
Like seriously the only improvement this squad can get is probably Remove Tchuameni for Rodri... and that's it.
@@akhsdenlew1861 yes but players like Vini, Rodrygo, Valverde, Camavinga, Jude etc. didn't arrive here as elite footballers. Madrid made them that!
Bellingham was one of the most sought-after youngsters before his move to Real Madrid and Mbappé is the definition of a galactico
Well this Video has not aged well, Mallorca did 1:1 against Real Madrid. Real Madrid has lost one, if not the best midfielder in Football Toni Kroos and they have a big Problem replacing him. Mbappe is a Great Player but i dont think they need another striker, having Vini and Rodrygo there.
0:01 crazy to believe he’s at Madrid
Great watch as always 🫡👊🏿. I think we defend the league but won't win the CL. Going back to back is tough even tho we've done it before during the 3 peat. But should be a fun season ahead. There are gonna be teams that expose us but there's always gonna be games where we are just vibing. Coz tactically we are there to be exposed since Carlo is not rigid like other coaches but I love it coz it gives us a early 2000s feel to our team.
*And just to clarify for anybody that sees that later, that doesn't mean Carlo isn't a good tactician.
I only always bring that up to give him his flowers with regards to the freedom he allows his players. So we are tactically sound but not in the sort of well drilled and automated way that maybe a Man City is where they follow Peps blueprint to a tee. Carlo blueprint is more of a suggestion and he kinda just allows the individuals to interpret it how they want depending on game state.
So that's what kinda leaves us "vulnerable" in a sense coz we just go with the flow. So that's where the early 2000s feel comes from.
I mean, is not like Madrid doesn't also have the monopoly on european football.
When you look at RM vs. Barca squad, and i told you that this is the situation after Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry, you'd probably say i was joking. RM is light years ahead. I'm not a fan of either. Neutral.

Here are my thoughts on Barça, as a Barça fan since the era of Ronaldinho.
Barça needs Nico, but he won't sign unless they pay more than they can afford, not because he wants money, but because he wants to stay at Bilbao for another season and only an offer he can't refuse will make him leave right now.
As for up front, we can definitely build something with Yamal, Pau Victor, and Vitor Roque. We just need a good, young, talented left winger (Nico). If these three can keep improving and work towards forming an offensive core with the already stacked midfield, we won't be left questioning if the hole Lewandowski will leave is a problem.
We have a decent defense, although I think signing a few full backs would help the squad depth a lot. Balde is essentially our only left back as Valle has not been impressive with Levante. We also have 1 real right back in Hector Fort, who's promising talent but needs development.
I think this season will be more about developing the younger talent and keeping our key players free of injury to at least have a chance at the La Liga title as well as international success. In that regard, Dani Olmo is the most baffling PR stunt Barça has pulled in recent years. This player is great, but we did not need to sign him. We needed more full backs, not another midfielder.
As a Barca fan, just ignore, well, 80% of the Barca fanbase, we are just f*cked.
Real Madrid is ..., you already know.
ATM is looking strong with their roster and also have loads of new signing that if they work out, they can put up a really good fight against Real. And more importantly, they are signings that Simione asked for.
And for Barca, well:
- No replacement for Busquets, a year after his departure. There are some new kids from La Masia, but whether they will pull a Lamine Yamal or not is still in doubt.
- The signing of Dani Olmo, it feels like the sole reason for it is just for Laporta and Deco to glaze themselves. Put the injury proneness aside, tactically, Olmo arrival can potentially detrimental to other players' progress. Olmo playing on left wing will disable Balde's strength and expose his weakness. Olmo as a number 10 will massively reduce the playing time of some of the most promising talents we have, directively affect Fermin Lopez, a player with various unique attributes in comparision to other Barca midfielders. And put Pedri in a position which may not be entirely new to him, but will not utterlize his abilities. That being said, I will still fully support Olmo and hope him the best.
So yeah, I may consider going to the nearest pharmacy to buy some pacemakers or smt. This season is gonna be loooong for us Barca fan.
and another thing, hope we won't make Lamine Yamal play about a trillion games next season like we did with Fati, Pedri, Gavi (and Balde?). I will lose my mind if he got a 7 months long injury and end his season after matchday 2.
im a die hard RM fan and i totally agree with everything you said.
Olmo is an amazing player and i hope does well at Barca, but he is a classic #10 which is not used as often these days and it will slow down the pace of play for the team at times. If hes to play as a false 9 you HAVE better options on the deck like Fremin Lopez and many more.
its like, you got a superstar from france, we have the spaniard super star kinda replay!
you need a CM, we need a classic #8. and if De Jong leaves you guys are really f*cked..
Olmo will be fine on the wings, flick alwyas has his wingers inverted, you can see that from the pre season games, also we are going to use double pivots, what you should worry about is if lewa gonna play good, team have energy to press for 90 mins, players play smart(since the system from flick depends on how the players play through the middle) balde learns how to cross and alex valle play rb instead of kounde in smaller games.
I will say, because you’re Barca, you’ll always be attractive to top players + you still have a number of talented players: Pedri, Gavi, Lamine… you’ll be back to the top.
@@sonicwithglasses131 my point is, playing him as a inside foward would be suitable for him, but will expose Balde's weakness. Because Balde would have to stay wide to provide width, and we can easily see his weakness (his crossing, or just his end products in general).
When you made the point about them doing the celebration at the start, I had the exact same thought 😂
Its actually so silly to say Gallagher was Chelsea's best player last season, when palmer finished the season with second most goals in the league got a bunch of assists and even on an eye test got a whole lot of creativity in his game. Gusto was also great as a RB. Gallagher was probs tied for number 3 with caicedo
Not best. Most consistent
@FootballIconic sure that's fair my bad. Although even arguing that he had the most consistent season would be quite contentious given how consistent Palmer was (especially when he started getting regular minutes, starting with Burnley away).
The problem with the first era of galacticos was the lack of chemistry and especially the defense. The acquisitions of players like Zidane, R9, Beckham and the rest only screams a sense of offense while absolutely no one recalls the emphasis Real had for their defense that era. I'm hoping Madrid could acquire Trent after his contract ends and potentially another CB
"Simone is entering his 13th season as Madrid manager" - I have NEVER, FELT, OLDER!!

Very good , comprehensive stuff Tinashe. You sound like you know what you're going on about
That aura and Hype will end when Madrid lose or draw a random game in la liga, probably sooner than we expect. That is because any team in La Liga can be competitive; they are used to fight against Barcelona, Madrid, Atlético, Sevilla, Villarreal, Bilbao or Real Sociedad and win them games as its life depend on it. It is a really tough league, underrated by british media just to sell its farmer premier league to low foreign IQ football spectators. For decades it´s been far more competitive in european competitions thanks to Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético, Sevilla and Villarreal.
Madrid have a dream team and strong bench, yet they need to be consistent enough to get titles and also take care of their opponents performance in laliga and champions league.
I remember Deportivo La Coruna, Real Betis… being up there in like, the early 2000’s. Diego Tristan, Roy Makaay (sp?) for Deportivo, a young Joaquin for Betis… good times 😀
@@nas84payne yeah, it is a consequence of competing hard in laliga, from time to time a strong squad appears and make a good season, so they play europe and perform.
Madrid just draw against Mallorca in La Liga debut, MALLORCA. "Low level team".
Endrick saying Jude Bellingham over Neymar actually shows Ancelotti's great man management. Ancelotti has implemented Messi-Neymar-Suarez friendship & brotherhood in RM that has made the players players have strong connection to their team & compatriots.
So Endricks preferring Bellingham is no joke but players respecting each other much more for club than national teamates
Endrick has always been a huge fan of Jude's he's always spoken very highly of him and like the rest of the Real Madrid players you can tell they all look up to him lol 😂 even Mbappe
@@Model_Roe Yes & nope but it shows their level of bonding with each other, else it's very tough to have great & star forwards like Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Mbappe, Bellingham etc play without ego & do seamless transitioning wrt passes.
Bellingham & Vini Jr quickly linked up with Mbappe's positioning says a lot
@@kothicamedarth2680 the fact they're all good friends irl is why they have such great chemistry on the pitch Carlo knows this I heard he sets up dinner's with the players seating players who speak different languages besides each other so they can bond it seems very minute but it's a very essential part of building a club
dude ofc hes not gonna say neymar over bellingham when he PLAYS with bellingham and is 12y apart from NEYMAR,
@@BlueThanosMaster And Endrick is quite the opposite from Neymar; hates partying and loves hardworking. Love the kid so much.
What a Friday! Friday night football and Tenashe decides to drop too.😎🔥
3:19 It wouldn't be Marca, they're pro-Real. Probably Mundo Deportivo
That’s how we as madrid fans felt a decade ago. Barca had a goated team, no matter who coached. It’s just our turn…
Exactly,and once all their legends started to retire they kept preaching that it was only after messi left barca they starter crumbling which literally doesnt make any sense
@@bhargavsai8014 Barca was still competitive from 2015-2020, won 3 la ligas out of 5, was ahead in el classico.....team played with terrible managers, its impossible to maintain an invincible team, with half a decent manager a couple of UCLs could have been won in that period...........its always hard to keep up with RMA when they have 11 superstars on field for 30 years........Messi is the one who kept Barca afloat..........
Exactly. This is what i say to culers when they call us madridistas glory hunters. Were they not the ones that only liked barca because they won the sextuple? Were they not the ones who became funs because theyd shit in us in el clasicos all the time. Now that they are ass they have the audacity to come here calling us glory hunters and themselves loyal when we had to go through all that shit
@@bhargavsai8014 You clearly didnt watch any barca games during those years... If the team was a person, it would have been a person with 6 different fatal injuries and still kept going because they had one little dude to cover it all up like a band-aid so most didnt notice them. Your whole comment reeks of coping..Are you really still that mad that Leo won the WC so you cant hate on him for that anymore?
Real has ALWAYS been winning. It's always your turn. How dare a REAL MADRID fan pretend they are the underdogs
La Liga has been getting so much more enjoyable lately. These past 2-3ish seasons have been great to watch outside of the actual title race. That qualification for the UCL spot being up in the air for Girona, Athletic, Sociedad, and Betis is so exciting
been telling this to my mate for some time. he's a die-hard Chelsea fan and is absolutely convinced the EPL triumphs La Liga.
And production is also beautiful. Just an overall great experience.
@@sandilembatha9225 To be fair to your mate, the EPL is still the best league in the world. That being said, it does indeed feel like La Liga is once again becoming a very competitive and exciting league like it was when Messi and Ronaldo were in their prime.
@@Wulfieman maybe it's just me, but the EPL has become too rigid and technical. I loved the freedom most wingers used to enjoy. the freedom in the number 8 position. there's a natural element that is missing there that I can only identify in Spain and Italy right now.
its over haha only issue they have is the longevity of the defence can they keep the mountain taskk together
“What day is it?”
“Valverde.”
Simeone is two seasons away from completing career mode
Spain has a big problem 😂 without the ref, the fake galacticos would have lost against las palmas. Ridiculous penalty.
even bellingham wouldn´t choose himself over neymar. Endrick´s PR is making him look like a suck-up
Endrick is a huge fan of Jude's he's always spoken very highly of him way before officially joining the squad so that's not surprising I think he's being sincere plus he's entitled to his opinion idk why people are so bothered
@@Model_Roe i guess his PR is working then, at least in Europe. But i honestly dont care, it´s just weird
No entendéis nada, de repente se juntan vinicius mbappe bellingham rodrigo arda guler y tantos otros... Pero eso lejos de hacer que laliga tenga problemas, de repente la hace mucho más atractiva para los propios jugadores que quieran fichar por un equipo español y enfrentarse contra esa clase de equipos y jugadores más a menudo. Lo puedes ver en el Atlético de Madrid y tantos otros que poco a poco están haciendo muy buenos fichajes para tratar de enfrentarse al madrid. Y también ganarán más dinero simplemente por enfrentarse a un equipo que genera TANTÍSIMA expectación. La liga le debe una al real Madrid y más específicamente a Don Florentino Pérez Rodríguez.
UCL format is different this season, of course we are the favourites but regular rotations are essential to like literally win everything we can. One match at a time! Also we really need to overhaul the tactics as Kroos isnt there and available player profiles are very different to him. But Don Carlo will figure it out.
Hala Madrid ❤
we should be fine but first couple of games will be our mid field struggling but with the coaching staff and the talent of these players im sure they can fix the problem of kroos not being there but theres no one like kroos who can just cross the ball from anywhere and make a play
Wow I forgot about the new UCL format thing...
none of the things you said is relevant becouse there is simply NO COMPETITION for real madrid this season.
Don't just look at real madrid.
Look at everyone else who could potentionally rival real madrid.
They are all in a TERRIBLE state.
Even city, which is the top contender is not looking sharp this season.
Liverpool is gone with no klop, italy in general is in a bad state .. and Even bayern is in the worst state i've seen it since.. 2010? i dont even remember the last time i saw a weak bayern.
MU doesn't exist, chelsea doesn't exist, barcelona doesn't exist.....
So who is there to rival real madrid really?
@@akhsdenlew1861 Manchester City can pound Real Madrid if their attackers have a good day, like two years ago. I mean, Real Madrid won by penalties and they parked the bus the whole game. If De Bruyne had a little better aim that day...
@@rmv9194 But Mcity is not the same as 2 years ago.
And if City has Rodri injured or something like that, it's over.
And even if we accept that City is the one and only team that can rival real madrid.
it's still a very sad reality.
Football has fallen quite a bit the last couple of years.
Very few clubs are in a good shape.
Real Madrid have the attack covered with the three upfront and 3 on the bench (Arda, Brahim and Endrick) that can give you different option. Real Madrid Still NEED two defensive mind midfielders.
Arda and Modric could try but they can't give you 65-70 mins every 3 days, Dani Ceballos is not good for attack or defend so he's just a waste of wage. Camavinga out for 6-7 weeks means Real Madrid is just one Tchouaméni injury away from disaster. Tchouaméni is not the only CDM but he's also the back up CB.
Real Madrid starting 11 is great but the bench is weak at midfield and defense.
As a cule who's following the transfer updates everyday from insider journalists, Deco NEEDS to fucking leave. He's extremely incompetent and he feels like that guy at the auction who just can't lose, even if it brings him under. We overpay for flashy signings we absolutely don't need. I was hoping we'd sign a pivot and a winger this season, MAYBE even dream of a right back which we're also seriously lacking because kounde prefers CB.
Okay, in the order of priority, kounde can keep doing RB, cacado and bernal look promising for the pivot roles, but where. is. our. left. wing. singing.
What makes the whole summer even more dissappointing is that at one point, it seems as though nico agreed to the deal and barca just didnt have upfront cash, which is how they got initially rejected for olmo as well, by leipzig. Leipzig demanded more upfront cash and barca caved for some reason.
Even more frustrating is the fact that barca was seriously linked to chiesa and coman, to the point where reports claimed that juventus, seeing as though they wanted to sell chiesa, were offering him to barca at a discounted 15-20m range. We spent all that time hyperfocused on two singings, not even looking at options. that's clearly not the blaugrana's legacy in the market rn
Cheers for details! Oof, sad to hear that. Let’s see how things pan out I guess
Chiesa would've been an amazing signing because when he's fit that man tears up the flanks. I think Olmo was signed as part of Flick's strategy as he's well known for a demanding holding midfield and quick counters, so players who can distribute from a chokepoint in traffic will get more game time
Why buy Olmo when Fermin Lopez is getting better & better ?
They wanted to sell Frankie (whose market demand is less & wont fetch any value) now he shouldn't be, they should test him under Flick.
@@luvadouglaolmo is going on the Lw tbh, thats not bad since flick inverts his wingers to be more at the centre with the cam, striker and the one pivot
@@kothicamedarth2680more depth im guessing
need more la liga videos like this at least weekly
1:03 you really should study at least one pronunciation. You called him "Diego Ape"
Leave Tinashe alone.
That Bobby Charlton comment from Endrick is pure comedy, no lie 😂😂😂😂😂
Rodrygo was literally born the day after me and he's playing with mbappe, vini, Jude, modric, etc at I'm at home drinking a beer
Everyone runs their own race lad. I'm the same age as Mbappe but I'm not too bothered
could be worse, I was doing bronze pack method the same age yamal is assisting in euro finals
Just stop drinking beer and you're one step ahead of the guy you were yesterday. And be the Rodrygo of your field of expertise, and always dunk on that Man City-shaped insecurity whenever you come across it.
I was born in 2003 and i think anyone born between 1995-2003 had the greatest time watching footy. the lineups in the early 2000s were crazy. Footy went downhill after neymar left barca.
That is the scary part
ENDRICK
He did not play
I am not sure how you beat that team
Endrick is the least scary part 😂
Güler is 100x better
Endrick still has a lot to grow. The potential is there for sure and he’s a the right place to grow. It’s Guler everyone needs to watch out for
@@fatih8053 That kind of rivalry doesn't exist among Madrid players or fans. It's never Endrick vs Guler, it's Endrick + Guler.
@@fatih8053 username checks out lol. I swear turkish fans on social media giving their bs opinions on Güler (who i rate highly!) are so incredibly annoying
@@thms6833 not turkish i promise you but Güler is miles ahead of Endrick.
It's really crazy that every major league in Europe has only 2 or 3 actual contenders within their respective leagues. Every other team has to scrap their way through the season.
Xavi insisted they need a CDM and wanted Zubimendi… instead they bought Victor Roque and Romeu…
Even the simplest of managers redos you could have a team with Zubimendi and Guiu maybe even Nico over Olmo.
I thought they would get Zubimendi or Guido Rodriguez. Real Madrid would still win the league, but Barca could've made it harder for them.
Olmo will be fine since flick has his wingers tuck in to the centre, flick uses a double pivot would be great for gavi(the ball winner) and fdj(the pivot that would be further up).
@@sonicwithglasses131 FDJ has never been successful as a pivot.
They don’t need Olmo to tuck in otherwise they would have no width. Pedri and Gundogen wants TJ attack the same half spaces.
@@wayneverhoff2790 my bad, i should have said double pivot, thats what flick plays with, i hope flick doesnt play gundogan and pedri at the same time, pedri is 100% gonna be the no.10, that would mean gundo as one of the double pivot which sounds like trouble for us
@@wayneverhoff2790 the width comes from the full backs, have you never watched how flick plays ? 😭😭
Low key on the road to 500k subs. Here! We! Go!!
All that firepower just to park the bus at the Etihad
😂😂😂
and win
Meanwhile other teams do all that dribbling and passing just to score 1 goal and lose 1-3 lol
Barcelona Fan Here:TLDR summary.
Good Player. Good Coach. Bad Management.
We are quite concerned(most of us) about the ability of Deco sitting as part of the board and thus the desicions of the board in general. More levrage must be given to Hansi as he is a coach who has proven himself at Bayen Munchen.
You should make a video on one of these two underrated teams:
Bayern 2012/13
Bayern 2019/20
Love the content man.
Wanna see vini mbappe guler play together
Yeah, they are OP on paper, but without a leader and superb passer like Modric or Kroos it all falls apart. Bellingham is still young and inexperienced compared to those two veterans and the first game against Mallorca endind 1:1 says enough. On paper they should be destroying everyone left, right and center, but it's not as easy as everyone thinks. Remember, the Galácticos era had some of the best players on the planet (R9, Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Roberto Carlos) and they have ultimately been a failure. But one thing everyone has to acknowledge is that Pérez knows the perfect time when to let a player go like Casemiro, Varane etc... They are ruthless and incredibly smart with their transfers, always investing into the future (Rodrygo, Endrick, Vini,Mbappe) and selling players at their highest value for maximum profit. Gotta respect that. It's just good business. He treats the club as a business, because that's what it is, and he runs it very successfully, so kudos to him.
Nah
Winning two league titles in a row? They don’t do that in Madrid specially in this century
I am going for barca to win the lwague
Well we did it in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008
And now is time to get some la liga and copa del rey
Get your infos barkalona fangirl
😭 u wish
As an Atleti fan, we still lack a left-CB
Ideally a good ball playing cb who’d be a upgrade on hermoso
Hancko and Hincapie are getting discussed and could only happen if felix is sold
Starting to age like milk buddy.....
Need some fine tuning. That draw vs Mallorca was unacceptable. One thing for sure, Mbappe sure likes the left side a lot.
I'm not sure how good they are going to be. When i saw the Ucl final i realized how insanely much they depended on Toni Kroos. He was 100% the most important player for them. And you can't replace that
They won't replace him, they'll find a way to adapt like always. That's why they win a lot.
@@Coach-rq6jx Yeah, i guess. Ancelotti is great at that
They won without Kross in 2014 with Di maria (Alonso suspended in the final), Modric and Khedira, just as they won before and after Ronaldo. This is Real Madrid, they will always find a way. They have Camavinga who' only 21, he's a jewel of a midfield talent for god sake.
PSG put a kid who idolized RM and CR7 with a mostly Barca contingent and everyone was shocked it failed. Bang up.
as a barcelona fan for almost 20 years now, it pains me to say, but they need to stop pretending they can compete with real in any competition, stop spending, develop la masia players like bernal, casado, darvich, and already established young players and focus on getting into the champions league consistently for next few years. if they got their finances in order, i'd be fine with 3rd place.
Thank you. The obsession with superstar signings ruined my club Man United too
As a lifelong RM fan it's most satisfying to see how well the club are being run in comparison to some others (and legitimately, without financial doping)Transfer policy seems spot on, coaching great, but there are always criticisms and balanced arguments that can be levelled. First, there are no young Spanish players coming through in the new pack, whereas Barca has a multitude, the youth system at Madrid is only working as a money generator. Second, Madrid have multiple weaknesses as mentioned in your video (defense), but also they have lost their midfield metronome. 2 aging right fullbacks.
In footballing terms everyone is underestimate Barca who have a brilliant squad who can compete, but they aren't being run well from a business perspective. If they can get stability on a coaching level and stop making stupid decisions, they will be a force still. I believe a strong Barca is good for Madrid.
5 points in 3 matches. Yeah, really scary that Real Madrid. But they didn't scary Mallorca or Las Palmas, two relegation contenders. Mbappe is well in his way towards 50 goals with 1 goal in 4 matches. So much hype for so little performance.
no matter who is at Real Madrid, Barcelona will always be the bane of their existence
I've never been this early lmaooo
Me too
Welcome 🙏
Canelo is actually perfect for Maresca’s Chelsea. He’s best as an inverting FB. Be play RB (James is always hurt) or LB. I mean I would just sell someone like Chillwell before I did it
You forgot the most scary part about them, their 12th player, the ref 😂😂😂
