Nico Paz, aged 20, currently plays for Como, the newly promoted team in Serie A. On January 19th, Como's head coach, Fabregas, highly praised Nico Paz: If Real Madrid does not exercise their buy-back option, we will reject offers ranging from 40 million to 50 million euros. Last summer, Nico Paz left Real Madrid to join Como. His transfer fee was only 6 million euros, but the contract stipulated that if there were two transfers, Real Madrid would receive a 50% share, and additionally, Real Madrid had the right of first refusal.

Last October, Nico Paz was also selected for the Argentine national team, making his debut for the Tango Army. Como is positioned as a relegation battler, while Nico Paz is the team's offensive core, with a valuation of 20 million euros by Transfermarkt, the highest in the team. In Fabregas' 4-2-3-1 formation, Nico Paz plays as an attacking midfielder, taking on the role of an offensive playmaker. In Serie A, Nico Paz averages 1.8 key passes and 1.9 successful dribbles per game, ranking among the top in the team. Fabregas, the head coach of Como, gave a high evaluation of Nico Paz. At the press conference on Saturday, he talked about Nico Paz: "Nico is a Como player, and Real Madrid can buy him back, but they must pay the set…

In the world of football, every match is an intense battle, carrying the glory and dreams of the team. However, in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid suffered a painful defeat, losing 2-5 to Barcelona. This result was like a heavy blow, striking hard on the hearts of Real Madrid fans and shocking the entire football world. Following their 0-4 defeat in the La Liga El Clasico, Real Madrid once again found themselves at the center of public opinion, with this loss undoubtedly becoming a painful memory for the team. The Spanish Super Cup final was filled with tension from the start. Barcelona displayed their powerful attacking force and teamwork, while Real Madrid's defense was riddled with flaws, leading to this catastrophic defeat. After the match, various media outlets conducted in-depth analyses of the game, with "El Diario Deportivo" mercilessly rating the entire Real Madrid squad. Unfortunately, three players—Bale, Jovic, and Odriozola—became known as the "Real Madrid culprits" in the eyes of many. Looking back at the match, all four goals conceded by Real Madrid were directly related to the poor performances of these three players. Carlo Ancelotti's tactical deployment did not bring much surprise in this match. He chose Bale to play as the right-back, Jovic as the center-back, and Odriozola as the defensive midfielder. Such arrangements put these three players under tremendous pressure when facing a formidable Barcelona. Barcelona's attack line was luxurious, with Rafinha on the left wing possessing great speed and dribbling ability; midfielders Lewandowski, Gavi, and Pedri had excellent skills and默契配合, putting…

Barcelona's Precise Positioning! Activating the 58 Million Euro Kingpin: 28 Games, 29 Goals Alone, Outshining Yamaer Coach Flick, who has won six titles, has been coaching Barcelona with a win rate of 72.4% since his arrival, making him the coach with the highest win rate for Barcelona after Enrique (76.2%), who had the MSN trio. Under Flick's leadership, Barcelona has defeated Real Madrid twice with a combined score of 9-2, and Flick's Barcelona has won the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona's goal tally in the league this season is second only to Bayern Munich, and they have the most goals in the Champions League, showing the obvious changes Flick has brought to Barcelona. Since Flick took over Barcelona, the player who has shown the most improvement is undoubtedly Rafinha. Barcelona's outstanding performance this season is closely related to Rafinha's phenomenal performance, as he is a key figure in the team's transformation. Rafinha joined Barcelona from Leeds United for a transfer fee of 58 million euros (Barcelona's top signing in the summer window of 2022). Previously, under Xavi's management, Rafinha's performance was lukewarm, and his high transfer fee was questioned, but he showed improvement when moved to the left wing. Last summer, Rafinha's market value was 50 million euros, and at that time, he was not considered an indispensable player for Barcelona, being linked with Saudi teams. According to Romano, Rafinha wanted to stay, which was his first choice. His decision proved to be correct, as Flick's arrival allowed Rafinha to transform, increasing his market value to 80 million euros. Under the…

The second half saw a dramatic change, with Bilbao's Sancet crossing from the left in the 53rd minute. Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois made a great save, but the ball inexplicably hit the following Berenguel, who took the opportunity to crash the ball into the net, giving Bilbao a 1-0 lead. This goal sent the home crowd into jubilation and put Real Madrid on the back foot. However, Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack. In the 67th minute, they were awarded a free-kick in the frontcourt. Rudiger headed the ball powerfully in the penalty area, hitting the crossbar and bouncing out. At this point, the goalkeeper came out and brought down Rudiger, leading to a decisive penalty call by the referee. This should have been a perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to equalize, but Mbappe's penalty kick was correctly judged and saved by Bilbao's goalkeeper Agirrezabala, causing Real Madrid to…

On January 17th, Real Madrid faced Celta Vigo at the Bernabeu Stadium in the round of 16 of the King's Cup. Real Madrid, ranked second in La Liga, faced Celta Vigo, who were 12th. Real Madrid was unable to end the match within 90 minutes, with goals from Mbappe and Vinicius, while Celta Vigo's Bamba and Alonso scored, leading to extra time with Real Madrid ahead 2-0. Fortunately, Endrick scored twice, and Valverde's world-class goal helped Real Madrid advance. Real Madrid has found a treasure with a 5-2 victory! The 18-year-old star shone in extra time, possessing qualities similar to Cristiano Ronaldo, relieving Coach Ancelotti's urgent need. Real Madrid is the last team to qualify for the quarter-finals of the King's Cup, with other teams including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Getafe, Leganes, Osasuna, and Real Sociedad. The specific matchups for the quarter-finals will be determined by a draw. Since the 13-14 season, Real Madrid has won six Champions League titles but only two King's Cups, not being particularly competitive in this event. This season, they will once again aim for the King's Cup title. Real Madrid had to go through extra time to eliminate Celta Vigo, playing an additional 30 minutes. However, this also provided more playing time and opportunities for substitute players, especially Endrick, who seized the valuable opportunity to prove his abilities in the game. In extra time, Endrick scored the leading goal for Real Madrid, receiving a pass from Juler in the 108th minute, stopping the ball on the edge of the penalty area, turning around, and…

For Mbappe, since joining Real Madrid, he has always been playing in a center forward position that he doesn't particularly like. This is because Real Madrid's left wing has Vinicius, who helped the team win the Champions League last season. Therefore, Mbappe had to make some compromises and make do with the center forward position. However, fans understand that Mbappe's personality is not one of constant compromise, especially not when it comes to委屈 himself in the center forward position. Now, internal conflicts within Real Madrid have erupted once again, and this time, Spanish media outlets have reported on a new choice made by the club. They believe that Mbappe is a more outstanding player on the left wing rather than needing to cover the entire front line. The consensus within the Real Madrid dressing room also holds that Mbappe has shown even better performance on the left wing. The coaching staff has also requested him to focus more on the left wing. This time, Real Madrid officially announced a change in formation, which will focus on supporting Mbappe. For Mbappe, this is a great victory, especially after a struggling first half of the season. Finally, Real Madrid has given him the status of the team leader, while it is Vinicius who needs to make sacrifices. Vinicius will need to adjust his position, perhaps as the number 10 or on the right wing. Such a decision means that Mbappe is likely to gain both fame and fortune in the future. If he can score 30 goals in a season on the…
