Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

I was surprised with seeing Atletico Madrid lose points last night. Actually they scored the equalizer quite early in the second half. But there was still no goal in the remaining half... Sad

Simeone continues to give Alvarez lots of chances to see his improvement. But unfortunately he couldn't make any impact on the game despite playing for the whole game. But he scored against Valencia previously so I hope he will get better slowly. I don't know maybe it is better to start with Griezmann instead while he is in a much better shape. Alvarez entered in the second half of the Valencia game and still scored in the end.

I expected better from Atletico Madrid yesterday but was surprised that they had to come from behind to get a draw against Rayo Vallecano. Diego Simeone's men are now 6 points behind league leaders Barcelona after just 6 Spanish La Liga games. That's not a good record for a club that's interested in contending for the league title this season. Julian Alvarez in my own assessment haven't been able to live up to expectations of Atletico Madrid fans and that I think is probably caused by the club's style of play because I know that on a normal day, the Argentina striker is one player that can get you goals. Maybe he'll work to improve himself in subsequent games

He can't find the chances he found in Manchester City because he's in Atletico Madrid. Alvarez was getting into very good positions in Manchester City and he was making good use of these positions. Atletico Madrid is a team that can create fewer chances. Manchester City's players work like a machine, but Atletico Madrid's players are a bit slower in this regard. Alvarez will score more goals as he gradually adapts to the team.
