In this article, we’ll examine the struggles of Real Madrid to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi’s future, and Asier Garitano’s chances of succeeding. We’ll also discuss Ronaldo’s contributions to La Liga. This article will be updated with more details as they become available. For now, we’re left with some questions. Are we better off without Ronaldo?
Real Madrid’s struggles to replace Cristiano Ronaldo
With Ronaldo’s departure, Real Madrid must now focus on finding a replacement who can live up to the same standards as the former Portuguese international. However, the team’s current attacking options aren’t particularly exciting. Eden Hazard and Kylian Mbappe would have been a far better fit, but Zidane’s lineup lacks dynamic players. Furthermore, they have been reduced to bench duty, which may not be a good sign.
After a prolific season with 44 goals and a record breaking Champions League triumph last season, Real Madrid are unable to replicate this level of success without Ronaldo. Despite their recent success in the Champions League, Real have failed to replace Ronaldo with a big-name player. In pre-season, the club signed teenage recruit Vinicius, but the club haven’t ruled out a shrewd replacement for Ronaldo.
Despite this setback, Madrid have remained better defensively after the Portuguese forward’s departure. After all, Real Madrid’s high-press strategy was one of the few tactical achievements under former coach Santiago Solari – a strategy he had previously tried at Castilla. Their defense has improved significantly, with xG allowed per game currently second in the league. Casemiro, Fede Valverde, and Zinedine Zidane all playing vital roles in this respect.
Despite this, however, the Spanish giants are hesitant to spend money anywhere but on their stars. Instead, they seek affordable deals that make sense. While chasing the superstar, Real Madrid are reluctant to spend too much on a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. They are instead looking to younger, cheaper players. And if Ronaldo isn’t available for Real Madrid, they will have to look elsewhere.
The lack of new signings has been a major concern for the club in recent weeks. While Asensio has shown some ups and downs in recent weeks, Benzema and Bale have been less than spectacular in recent games. They’re also still far from a permanent replacement for the Portuguese superstar. If Real Madrid are to win the champions league this season, they must focus on the future of their players.
Lionel Messi’s future
With so much uncertainty surrounding Messi’s future, many have speculated on his potential departure from FC Barcelona. Several big European clubs have been linked with the Argentinian. Tebas has recently put an end to any chance of a Manchester City signing. The Brazilian said signing Messi would be financial doping. Regardless, the speculation is not over. The Argentinian is still a top contender for the Ballon d’Or, and it would be a huge loss for Barcelona to lose him.
As the media focused on Messi’s potential departure from Barcelona, PSG increased their Instagram following. Meanwhile, the league’s financial controls could make a solution easier to come by. In the meantime, however, it is important to remember that the league and its clubs are in the midst of a crisis and that the situation is unfavorable for all involved.
In the meantime, Los Angeles Galaxy and LAFC have reportedly been linked with Messi. While both clubs have full rosters of designated players, the LA Galaxy would probably offload one of theirs to make room for Messi. Even if they had a ton of cash, signing Messi would not be a breeze. So, it’s not clear whether Los Angeles Galaxy or LAFC will be the first two to sign Messi. If either of these teams were to swoop in and sign the Argentinian, then the LA Galaxy and LAFC would probably be the most likely to do so.
The absence of Ronaldo will definitely affect LaLiga’s reputation as the world’s best league. Without Messi, the TV rights for the league will be cut, and future sponsorship deals are sure to suffer. Although Ronaldo and Messi were considered the best players in the world, the latter left Real Madrid to join Juventus in the summer of 2018. Hence, the competition between the two has become more difficult and more competitive.
There is no guarantee that Messi will stay at Barcelona, but he might have a chance to leave in the summer if he doesn’t sign a new contract with another club. Although it’s hard to predict exactly when he’ll be leaving, the news is certainly enough to get the family involved. After all, he’s loved his time at Barcelona.
Asier Garitano’s chances of succeeding
Asier Garitano’s side are three points above the relegation zone. With Cristiano Ronaldo out, Garitano has his work cut out, and he will face a tough test when his team travels to Barcelona. The defending champions are two points behind Alaves and face a test on Saturday. A draw will send Alaves down to the relegation zone, while a defeat would leave them a point behind.
Asier Garitano was the manager at Leganes from 2013 to 2013, and he has proven his mettle. After all, he guided Leganes to the Copa del Rey semi-final last season. Garitano’s game management philosophy is very tactical and involves micro-managing the team. Aritz Elustondo explained his philosophy on game management in July.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s contributions to La Liga
There are many stories about Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact on the league, but few players have the same effect on the game as Cristiano. His contribution to Real Madrid and the Champions League is truly unparalleled. Read this article to learn more about this incredible player. It is a must-read for any football fan. It has been praised by the Spanish press for his skill and ability, but some wonder whether the Portuguese international has achieved the same success at the La Liga level.
Cristiano Ronaldo was a teenager when Manchester United signed him. He spent some years in the Premier League, but returned to Spain to play for Real Madrid. He won the La Liga championship in his third season and a record 17 UEFA Champions League goals. His 61 goals in La Liga this season was a personal best. In total, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 252 goals in 228 games. He was made captain of Portugal in 2008.
Apart from his contributions to La Liga, Ronaldo also has a humanitarian side. A few years ago, he made a donation of EUR100,000. In 2014, he took part in a charity match for the island of Madeira and smashed a free-kick into the crowd. The ball broke the leg of a young boy named Charlie Silverwood. The donation was a touching gesture on Ronaldo’s part.
Besides being the most prolific player in La Liga, Ronaldo has a number of other international awards. He has won the Champions League and European Championship with Real Madrid, and has won two LaLiga titles and one Copa del Rey. Cristiano Ronaldo’s international record is also enviable, with over two hundred international goals to his name. The list goes on. And that’s not even counting his three World Cup titles.
The Portuguese superstar was born poor and came from a humble background. His charity work has not been covered by the media, despite the fact that he is the richest player in La Liga. Yet, it is no less impressive. Last year, he raised more than $70 million for Haiti, and recently opened a museum dedicated to himself. In 2004, he flew to Aceh, Indonesia to raise funds for the rebuilding of the city.
