After a short break, my blog comes back. I am going to write not only about economics, but also about other topics, such as football, cooking, gym, travel and geopolitics. Sometimes there may be some off-topic.
After the fourteenth victory of my beloved club - Real Madrid in the champions league, I cannot remain indifferent to this topic.For my part, I would like to summarize my assessment of the season itself, transfers, coach, etc., and I would love to hear your opinion, your feelings and assessment.
So let's start with an overall assessment of the season. I will use a scale from 1 to 10. The Spanish Championship, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup and all this in the season that was supposed to be transitional before the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, is something amazing and I have nothing else to do but give a grade of 10. There were games unequal, problems at certain points in the season, but in the end we only lost the Spanish cup. Carlo Ancelotti was a choice that also surprised me a bit. After all, a coach from a great club did not come to us in the blaze of glory. Carletto came from Everton who was doing poorly in the English Premier League. However, once again the genius of Florentino Perez reached the limits and it turned out to be a bull's eye. Smoothly from Carlo Ancelotti, we can move on to the revelation of the season - Vinicius Junior, which is directly related to the arrival of the Italian. Vinicius jumped to the absolute top level and showed that it was an investment that returns 100%. The numbers in the league, the champions' league, his contribution to the team play, could only really be overshadowed by Karim Benzema, who was undoubtedly the best in the world this season. There is no need to elaborate much on Karim. Simply the best player in the world at the moment. However, other players are worth mentioning. Courtois hit the absolute top when it comes to playing on goal. Luka Modrić like wine, the older the better. The Croatian dominated the center of the field in Europe. David Alaba's entry into the team is also noteworthy. The Austrian immediately became the undisputed leader of the defense and the entire team.Our young players - Fede Valverde and Camavinga, their prognosis is great and despite the unreliable CKM, they brought great value to the team and can compete for the first squad next season.Rudiger and Tchouameni's transfers have been approved for next season. The French will be an interesting alternative to Casemiro, while the German should move David Alaba to left-back where he feels better and add more aggression and play in the mid-back.Mariano and Jović seem to be on the way out of the club and I am personally not convinced to replace them with Latasa or Borja Mayoral. The rumor about Sesko from Salzburg also seems bad to me in the very idea. Let's consider what the player's profile is Karim Benzema. He is a striker who scores a lot of goals, but also makes the game easier for partners. It is also position number 9 and number 10. And you should look for such a player profile. We have been missing a substitute for him for years due to the wrong forward selection. Jovic and Mariano are not creative players. In my opinion, we should look for a player from the profile of Paulo Dybala, Harry Kane, Lautaro Martinez, Roberto Firmino. Of course, with a slightly smaller format so that he would accept being a substitute, but bring the same values to the team as Karim. It would also be worth thinking about the position of a right-back. Dani Carvajal has problems with form and health, and Lucas is not a qualitative substitute. Odriozola will also not fight for the first squad with Dani.
I didn't want the post to go too long and I didn't go into the situation in great detail, but I think the main thoughts and thoughts are included here. Let me know what you think about this season, what are your feelings, what do you expect for next season!
