Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23

They deserve this number and I like what Madrid are doing now by changing the jersey numbers immediately.
If I'm not mistaken from the previous season Vini was also offered this jersey number but did refuse because in addition to feeling still not too appropriate, the jersey number 7 is also still worn by Hazard now no one wears this number and of course it must be given to him.
But on the other hand with new numbers for Vini and Rodrygo of course they must realize that with legendary numbers like this especially for Madrid then they have a greater responsibility now.
The season is still long enough to start, hopefully they can make a much better contribution than this season.

Vini at the left flank and rodrygo at the right flank ... both developed very well in the last two seasons and will prove it next season that they could bring back real madrid glorious days , but who's in front? As benzema leaving and so far there are no top players linked to them , there is lautaro martinez and harry kane but that's just a rumor that come from not reliable sources.
They have to bring someone very soon or they might ended up with a panic transfer to land an ordinary striker out of nowhere, seriously.

The two young lads have developed very well under the watch of Ancelotti in these few seasons. Talking about competence and who is fit to wear which Jersey. I support Vinicius Junior for the iconic number 10 jersey. Rodrigo can be given the number 11 jersey but I don't have much emphasis and interest in the jersey because it is not an iconic jersey in Madrid.
That being said, I think Madrid needs a striker who should be older than both Vini and Rodrigo in order to make the attacking line more mature than as it appears to be now.

There is no doubt that Vinicius is a talented player. But is he still worthy of the number 10 jersey? The most talented and important players in the squad usually wear the number 10 jersey. I think Vinicius is not experienced enough yet. Real Madrid should definitely look for a more experienced player. Barcelona management gave Ansu Fati the number 10 jersey. But Fati's performance is still weak. Fati cannot be considered a worthy replacement for Messi. So I would say that Madrid management needs to take more time rather than giving Vinicius the iconic number 10 jersey right away.
