French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Altryist]

Luis Enrique can be great as a coach especially for Neymar as Neymar played under him for a long time at Barcelona. PSG should have thought about these issues earlier but instead of thinking about good quality coaches, they just hired good quality players with high salaries. First of all the team needs a good quality manager, if a good quality manager is appointed in the team then good players will surely come in the team if there are no financial problems. Since PSC has no financial problems, if they hire good quality managers, they can take their club much further with like-minded players in their team.  

Luis Enrique may be considered by PSG. PSG will definitely do well if they make the team with him.

Luis Enrique is a manager who loves discipline and he knows how to work with players like Neymar. Therefore, he already has a telephone conversation with Neymar and said that he would like to see him in the team. You can understand him, he will now seek to keep most of the team, because it is very difficult to start all over again. PSG is a very strong team and they practically have all the players in order to achieve their goals. Leaving Messi will not be critical, because Mbappe and Neymar remain in the team. Luis Enrique is currently one of the best options that PSG could have chosen.

Basically PSG can have star players and great coaches at the same time, because PSG has good finances. That way, PSG should be able to get better and stronger in the Champions League and not only in Ligue 1. Also, Luis Enrique is a great coach, but in this case we can't just relate him to Neymar because after all, Luis Enrique is too will not only coach Neymar at PSG. So yes, even though PSG can't sign Luis Enrique, basically PSG can still sign other great coaches too and not just focus on Luis Enrique.

Paris SG is a club that has very good finances and can buy the reliable players they want and even though they can't get Luis Enrique I think there are still some of the best Paris SG players who can be relied on and trained to become stronger and be able to win titles in champions league.

PSG still have reliable players that they can train to get a better start next season, but the problem is that the way they train reliable players must be clear so that the team can get good results in the Champions League. Because PSG still haven't tasted the sweetness of winning the Champions League, and that should still be their target next season by implementing a different strategy than before. Especially if PSG still has a lot of money to get more reliable players and coaches for the team.

Mbappe was smart enough. He wants to stay while PSG wants him to leave. Both parties are in disagreement with each other and have conflicting opinions. The only problem is how much money will be asked by PSG for mbappe to leave from the team? Will real madrid can afford to pay it?
I think that this becomes the main question right now. Let's say that if PSG value him at a hundred million pounds and Real Madrid refuses to take him, but another team is willing..
Will mbappe personally agree with its buyer?

It's caused by personal agreement between player and buyer has become main of requirements to complete the transaction. If mbappe will not make a personal agreement with its buyer and the transaction will never happen.
Think about that. This is a complicated case caused by both of parties are contradicting one to each other.

I think he doesn't really want to stay, he just wants to make sure that he has the choice in this matter. If he is sold this summer then only the teams that can afford to pay PSG will be able to get him, and there aren't all that many, plus a team that spends even 200 million (which only handful may end up being able to afford), how much do you think Mbappe would get paid.

On the other hand, if he stays one more year, he can either go for any team he desires, or he could even just ask teams to pay him the transfer fee, like that 200 could go to him instead of PSG next season. This is why being a free agent is such an important thing that players care about so much and I believe that he wants to play for one more season and leave like that.

So in essence it doesn't mean, Neymar doesn't play well. it's just that, the problem is that he is prone to injury. in this season, Neymar contributed 13 goals before he was injured. unfortunately, he had to miss a long time until the end of the season. this condition, made him lose a lot of momentum even though he is one of the great players. So far we have only heard of Neymar rumors, but nothing can really be claimed for the truth. In fact, he still has a contract until June 30, 2025. Now, his future is in the hands of Luis Enrique, who he was with during his time at Barcelona.

Well, referring to what you said. this is the interesting part. whether Enrique will include Neymar in the project in his squad. if so, as you said that Enrique really understands the character of this one player. it is possible that Neymar will remain with PSG, because so far there have only been mere rumors regarding reports that Neymar will leave PSG.
IMO, I'm pretty sure Enrique still needs his services in the PSG squad. however, to find out more, let's just wait for the developments.

The conditions were indeed like that, actually at the beginning of the transfer Neymar had suffered an injury to his right leg, if I'm not mistaken PSG still insisted on bringing Neymar from Barcelona. Also, Neymar always forces to play when he has a minor injury, it's also reasonable that he gets injured more often when playing for PSG, because he is also often targeted by opposing players.
I guess, actually Enrique still needed Neymar services. He was an important part of Enrique plans, but considering Neymar often suffer injuries at PSG, this made Enrique position perhaps go awry.

If I'm not mistaken, Luis Enrique has been predicted to become PSG coach. now, both parties are one step away from reaching a full agreement and there are only a few details that still need to be worked out. Reportedly, Enrique will be announced as the new PSG coach next week. well, maybe under his tutelage PSG will be much better especially the problems in the locker room. Unfortunately, Mbappe made a mess in the last week with his statement.

I want to see how far PSG will grow under him. in particular, in the Champions League. regarding his track record, no one doubted Enrique, especially when Barcelona was under his tutelage. it's just that there are still many doubts that become my consideration, whether Enrique is given full rights to bring in the players he wants. as well as whether there will be a squad overhaul under Enrique. if so, which players will be on the sell list. also, the player they are after. because, Messi has now left. at least, PSG needs new ammunition both strikers, wings, and even midfielders. there are several names included in their target, but so far there has been no concrete development.

Neymar, actually PSG can still use his services, moreover Enrique really knows Neymar's character very well. but rumors, he will leave PSG. it's just that I wouldn't be surprised if Neymar stays in the end.

No matter who they sign , they need to re-think their strategy of transfer "superstars" at a certain age. I think PSG should be focused to gather most of the France squad players in their team and start to build again from there with only one achievement : to win UCL. The other option is to have faith that the current squad and a new coach with a brand new strategy will make this team to emerge as winners in next year or years but I still like the first option too as I'm sure Kante was still in great shape and hunger for trophies in Europe but PSG didn't want him in the end.

The problem with PSG is not actually about player quality because they have got some good technical players; the issue with PSG is that they have got a very poor and average squad. one that struggled to win the just concluded league. Luiz Enrique has got a big job in its hand if he ends up at PSG. a new season without Mbappe, Neymar and Messi is looking likely!!!!

PSG still have reliable players that they can train to get a better start next season, but the problem is that the way they train reliable players must be clear so that the team can get good results in the Champions League. Because PSG still haven't tasted the sweetness of winning the Champions League, and that should still be their target next season by implementing a different strategy than before. Especially if PSG still has a lot of money to get more reliable players and coaches for the team.

Even if money buys everything that makes sense, it will never guarantee that PSG can win the Champions League title that easily. PSG must build a squad with the best mentality and quality, but so far PSG have not been able to do that.

They have to learn from how Manchester City built their squad and mentality, so even if they spend a lot of money it will be worth it. Hiring a quality manager for many seasons like Luis Enrique can make them have the possibility of reaching the Champions League final or even winning it, but PSG tend to switch coaches easily when they fail in the Champions League.

The problem is that PSG always fails to reach the final Champion League even in the last 2 seasons their steps stopped in the last 16 obviously this is not an achievement that can be proud of, so it is normal if PSG is looking for a new manager. When compared to Manchester City clearly the achievements were different because they go to the final 2 times until they finally became champions. Actually when a team like PSG has many star players it will be more difficult to manage it, there are always obstacles related to egoism and other things.

[Docnaster]

Yes, unfortunately it is. If Neymar doesn't have many injuries, maybe we will see him playing to his full optimal, as a striker and the most expensive player he should be able to give good results for PSG. By the way, if Luis Enrique becomes PSG new coach, Neymar is likely can stay in Paris. Because Enrique really understands the character of this striker, so I think there is still an opportunity for Neymar to show his great skills at PSG.

I also think so, I think Neymar's future lies with Luis Enrique if he becomes PSG coach it will be a big project. PSG have a great team, they have no rivals in their league (they only have pressure from the Champions League). they also have the money to sign the players they want, plus the French league puts out very good players every year. And there is still a lot of untapped potential and they have to try. If they take Luis Enrique and bet on him the way City bet on Pep Guardiola, I believe PSG will be at the level of a big club in a few years.

Luis Enrique can be great as a coach especially for Neymar as Neymar played under him for a long time at Barcelona. PSG should have thought about these issues earlier but instead of thinking about good quality coaches, they just hired good quality players with high salaries.

It was under the watch of Luis Enrique that Neymar got the only UEFA Champions League winner's medal he has in his club football career and his good relationship with Enrique can  never be questioned.
However, I don't think they'll achieve much together again if Luis Enrique should be appointed as the Paris Saint Germaine manager. I that not not because Neymar isn't a great player nor Enrique not a very good manager but because I think Neymar's constant injuries will not allow him recreate those footballing moments he was delivering at Barcelona

[Leviathan.007]

Next season in French League will be really interesting because many players left PSG even with all these players, PSG had a close race with Lance until the end of the season.
While in the next season when PSG loses many of these players they will have even harder days to win even the French league.

So far, rumors of PSG approach to Luis Enrique are blowing fast on social media. Where Luis Enrique is allegedly going to be PSG coach for next season. But several factors strengthened me he is a coach full of long experience in coaching big teams and star players so it would be very suitable for PSG to choose him to be coach for next season. I see that PSG is almost the same as Chelsea lately because these two teams have the same difficulty finding the right coach so their performance is relatively unstable when changing coaches is often done. Therefore, PSG management must really understand their targets for next season where they must show a coach who has great instincts in bringing the club to a prestigious trophy like the UCL. Apart from that, PSG management must give a lot of time and full support to the coach in the long term because it is impossible for the new coach to immediately give them the UCL trophy.

[Velvet78]

Luis Enrique is a successful manager before anything else. He even has experience about winning the Champions League title. PSG need a manager just like him to reach their main target of course. However his game plan is quite different than PSG's. Therefore I wonder what kind of a team we would watch in case he signs for PSG officially.

PSG players are used to play really fast unlike Enrique's game plan. Enrique should make some changes in his style if he wants to make use of Mbappe's talent at the highest level. Mbappe is playing very effectively thanks to fast attacks as he can win most of one-on-ones against defenders. Otherwise I don't know how good they can do.

[rendravolt]

The power of a club is absolute, but if later Enrique expects Neymar to stay at PSG, of course that will be a serious consideration for next season's competition. I think that even if there was no Neymar, PSG would still win the Ligue 1 title and they would still need new players to enter a more difficult competition, namely the champions league. At the moment PSG have not had many rumors regarding the players they will sign in the summer and I think they should do it soon because a team like Lens will be one of their competitors in Ligue 1 next season.

I see Luis Enrique and Zidane are both near to PSG and they still didn't officially say anything about their new coach.
Zidane is a successful coach and he had a good performance in Real Madrid when he was working there but he didn't work in other teams I think Enrique on the other hand because of the tactic he usually uses can't be a good option for PSG.
Also, doesn't really matter if Enrique wants to work with Neymar or not because the Neymar we see recently in PSG is far from what we saw in Barcelona.

Regarding the candidates for the next PSG coach, I think that neither Zidane nor Enrique have a high capacity to manage a top European club and PSG should at least choose one of these coaching candidates to become PSG coach starting next season. But as far as I've seen and heard Zidane's chances of managing PSG are slim and Enrique is closer to being able to do the job. Surely Enrique will need Neymar as the spearhead of PSG and that will also evoke a bit of nostalgia for the two of them like they did at Barcelona. Maybe the thing that should be avoided for Neymar is the injury that often threatens his career in football.

losing some of the best players PSG has won't discourage Christophe Galtier but this is like a challenge for Galtier to be able to get a league 1 title in the summer without his flagship player. but I think for this season PSG still has Mbappe to be a mainstay player for the next season.
regarding the loss of other players, I know that if PSG sells some of its players, the PSG management will definitely find replacements.

But as far as I've seen and heard Zidane's chances of managing PSG are slim and Enrique is closer to being able to do the job.

Zidane won 3 Champions League with Real Madrid and he did not succeed when he returned to Real Madrid a second time. He has won biggest titles as a club coach and he no longer has bigger targets with clubs. What he ambitiously wants is winning World Cup and Euro with France as their national coach. If Zidane takes over the coach position in PSG, he will have to wait till 2025 or 2026 or 2028, after Euro 2024, World Cup 2026 and till Euro 2028 to manage France national team. It is a very long waiting time and in 2026 or 2028, will France still have a strong squad like now?

I believe Zidane will wait one more year to see chances with France national team and he will reject any offer from PSG.

Surely Enrique will need Neymar as the spearhead of PSG and that will also evoke a bit of nostalgia for the two of them like they did at Barcelona. Maybe the thing that should be avoided for Neymar is the injury that often threatens his career in football.

Neymar at PSG is different than Neymar who worked with Enrique years ago in Barcelona. He is now older and more vulnerable with injuries especially with his sensitive ankles.  Enrique understands Neymar but will they be able to cooperate well again, I don't know and mainly because of Neymar contribution is uncertain with his injury history.

While in the next season when PSG loses many of these players they will have even harder days to win even the French league.

we will have to see how they will start the season for at least their form in the first 4-5 games. it is important for PSG to measure how prepared their team is with several players who leave.
if it feels they are struggling too much to compete with other teams in Ligue 1, it is possible that they will spend quite a lot of money in the winter transfer market. however PSG is a big team, and they have big ambitions also in Europe.

My attention will be on the strasbourg since this club's stake already bought by chelsea. I hope that there will be vast improvements to happen with this club in french league. Strasbourg may be having better performance next season compared with last season.
We will not see some superstars again next season in PSG. Since messi has gone and PSG is now getting less attention from various parties.
PSG-related stuff is what we're focused on now.

Coach
Mbappe
Neymar

These things have not clear yet. Everything is still remain uncertain at this moment. So many rumors linked to the PSG and it's always related to those things.
It will far better if PSG try to solve those problems as soon as possible before the end of transfer season.

Luis Enrique is currently one of the best options that PSG could have chosen.

Right now situation is very interesting because many big stars are going to leave with Mbappé is also centre of talk with his words about he doesn't want to extend his contract and PSG management which is having huge funds wants to sell him if he not like to extend, and now we have one of the best person as coach which can change the fortune of this club with his way of play and experience as well even mostly are going few players want to stay, and now Luis Enrique is also wanting Neymar to stay here for the next season as well which is interesting.

But one thing is still certain as now we will have PSG no strong as we have them in last few years specially in Ligue 1 we will have good fight for the title and few teams will also try their best for having stay near to close PSG which will create good entertainment for the fans as well.
