French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hahay]

A midfielder plays one of the key roles behind a team's good performance. But PSG team does not have any good midfielder. As a result, I don't think the PSG team will perform very well in League One this time.

PSG are longing to have three points this current campaign. Luis Enrique is yet to amazed the parisians this season, having no grab on the winning points. PSG lacks so many attributes in the club, after the departure of these crucial players, moreover they made signings, but we should get this point straight, PSG new players needs to adapt with the present scenario of the team, it can't happen in a single game, as time goes on, the chemistry will blend in smoothly between the players. PSG keeps their fans tense this season after recording a draw in two Ligue One games this new season.

Although basically PSG still needs some great players to support the team's performance, but I think it is still very excessive. Because after all, PSG at this moment is only limited to playing in Ligue 1 but the results are very bad. Can't imagine, if for example PSG performance is still bad like this and playing in the Champion League then obviously, it will be a very bad defeat which maybe happen later. In fact, PSG already has a great coach this moment and basically, PSG still has better quality players than other clubs in Ligue 1. With these factors, Enrique should be able to make PSG performance good in Ligue 1 at this time.

Luis Henrique has bad start with PSG in Ligue 1 after losing many points last two games, still can't win in last two matches could be warning for Henrique upcoming next match. Probably its not mistake from Luis Henrique disappointed result last two matches because PSG in not full squad after losing many important player, one day before Ligue 1 opening match, PSG have loss Neymar, Veratti and Mbappe automatically Henrique have change their squad for the first match.

Second match against Toulouse still difficult for winning match, I don't think what happen when next match if PSG still can't get first three points in Ligue 1, will Luis Henrique position keep secure?

The third match will be much more difficult where PSG must face Lens, Luis Enrique must be able to maximize the players he has and the third match must be a comeback for PSG to get full points. Mbappe and Dembele will be even more solid after going through some training and I'm sure that now they are united because they have adapted in the previous matches. A little mix in the midfield will make PSG's game even better because they can build far more dangerous attacks and dominate the midfield will also make PSG's game more solid.

It is still too early to judge whether Lusi Enrique's position is safe or not in the coaching chair because the match has only lasted two matches. His arrival to PSG left several problems in the squad and the departure of several important players made it difficult for Luis Enrique to get into the early matches. It will take a few more matches for us to see Enrique's ability to strategize in games and at this point is still too quick to make decisions.

[rendravolt]

Neymar has gone to the saudi league and maybe after this Verrati will also leave so that there will be fewer senior players left at PSG. This week PSG will face Lens and to be honest this time I feel they will again find it difficult to win this match, even though PSG are the hosts, Lens is still their competitor at the top of last season's standings. But I still hope they can secure full points at home and allow Luis Enrique to at least take a breath of fresh air for a while.

I agree that this will be a warning for Luis Enrique indeed. No victory in two games and the next one will be vs Lens. The negative news is that they are facing their direct rival Lens. The positive news is that Lens situation isn't any better than PSG since they lost a game and got a draw vs another. The defeat was vs Brest so PSG should not miss these 3 points.

Indeed, at this time Lens is also not as good as we thought and they had quite a hard time winning in the previous match. I think PSG must put Kylian Mbappe as a starter so that their victory is more guaranteed than depending on other players who have just joined PSG this season. If Luis Enrique persists with his previous thoughts I don't think it will be achieved. Lens must also try to win because in this match when they win and get 3 points, they will indirectly be superior to PSG for the title race this season.

It's proven that if your league is tough, then you produce really good teams and players. Competition makes teams try really really hard. Bayern at least has consistent challenge from Dortmund and even in cups fight very hard with others but PSG can clean sweep everything if they just try.

They have been having it too easy, so even with superstars they didn't try hard anymore. They lose or draw because they take things too much for granted.

PSG spent big, it was strong enough to win everything, but it wasn't "shaped" by good competition.

I agree with you that the tougher the competition in the domestic league, the more motivated a club will be to improve. I'll take the example of the Premier League for example, they get tough competition from all clubs, we can't easily predict matches there, because there clubs that are considered weak can become a stumbling block for big clubs. And we can see what they can do in European competitions as a result of the intense competition in their local competitions. Unlike Ligue 1, we can see what they can do in European competitions, especially the Champions League. They can't say much there.

We can't deny things like this, because after all this is part of the mental formation that will be very useful.

That requires a lot of money though. No other team has owners like PSG has and that means we are not going to see them do a lot better. PSG has done better than other teams because they have a rich owner, which means that they were able to spend a lot of money, and get sponsorships from the owners basically, or at least their network and all that.

This made PSG richer and get all those players, we all still remember Neymar being bought for 220 million, still to this day the biggest transfer ever (though I believe it will be broken one day by Saudi clubs). So all in all I think it's important to remember that we are not going to see other French teams do that well until someone rich buys them, and PSG will stay the biggest until then.

PSG are longing to have three points this current campaign. Luis Enrique is yet to amazed the parisians this season, having no grab on the winning points. PSG lacks so many attributes in the club, after the departure of these crucial players, moreover they made signings, but we should get this point straight, PSG new players needs to adapt with the present scenario of the team, it can't happen in a single game, as time goes on, the chemistry will blend in smoothly between the players. PSG keeps their fans tense this season after recording a draw in two Ligue One games this new season.

I really want to say that PSG needs to bring in more quality midfielders instead of constantly relying on Vitinha, Danilo Pereira, Marco Verratti, Carlos Soler and Fabián Ruiz. I only believe Verratti is worth keeping, but other than that PSG need to freshen up the squad. Most of the midfielders in the PSG squad are not very good at defending because in my opinion their game does not suit Luis Enrique's philosophy of play.

But it is quite possible for PSG to expect Luis Enrique to take advantage of all the players available and will evaluate him midway through this season. I hope Luis Enrique can bring a top midfielder to PSG when the next transfer window opens, but now it looks like he's just doing his job.

[Distraction]

I hope people don't go too harsh on Enrique already now. He has arrived here at a different time. PSG have made some substantial changes in their squad and starting eleven by adding many new players. Messi and Neymar isn't here anymore. Mbappe has also had problems with the team due to not extending his contract by one more year.

In this situation Enrique is dealing with a difficult thing. He is expected to build this team into a much better one after the recent additions and departures in the squad.

This task won't be easy at all. They need Mbappe a lot for now. I think Enrique would like to start with him as of their next match.

However, other Ligue 1 teams also have good quality and strategy to stop PSG. We can find one fact that PSG always seems to have difficulty winning Ligue 1 matches because other teams employ total defensive strategies throughout the game, that's obvious why you shouldn't underestimate them.

In the last two matches PSG still failed to win the match when they were held to a draw by Lorient and Toulouse, but we really know that PSG was able to dominate the game well. The point is that even though most Ligue 1 teams don't have expensive players like PSG, in fact they also have a lot of quality players. It's just that their market value is not higher than some Premier League players in the bottom or mid-table teams.

I don't think anything can break PSG's dominance as a candidate for the trophy in Ligue 1 this season. PSG can make a comeback to achieve victory in the upcoming matches. The two matches they have played is not a bad measure of their performance as psg are still the strongest team in ligue 1 for this season. Indeed, in the last two matches PSG could not win because their strength was not balanced enough in these two matches.

Even this season we have seen their performances statistically in the last two matches where they were able to dominate the game quite well. In week three of Ligue 1 this season PSG will face Lens and I think this is psg come back game to winning ways.

I love the rebuilding process that is going on at PSG because it was really appauling that they had the three best players in the world, Mbape,Messi,and Neymar at their front,and they weren't still able to do anything in the champions league,instead,the players were having supremacy issues,and we're constantly at war with each other.The coach noticed that the combination of the trio wasnt working at all,so he decided to start the rebuild process,which will see most of the senior team players leave the club to another club.
However,with the new players added to the team,we are hoping they do what Messi, Neymar and Mbape weren't able to do together,they should atleast make Champions league their top most priority this season,to prove people wrong that without the three players,the team can still win major trohies.

As long as Luis Enrique doesn't immediately unite his chemistry with other players or doesn't immediately make changes in Paris SG performance I think it will be a bad future because actually Paris SG already had a very good performance last season and was almost successful but it was very bad when the coach was replaced with another coach who don't have a lot of experience and I know and understand very well all this takes time and it's not an easy task but if I don't do something soon I don't know what will happen because the other clubs in league 1 are looking for first place or league 1 championship and if Paris SG doesn't immediately improve the stability of their players I don't think they will be successful this season and I will blame Luis Enrique.

Yes, yes, in words, all the coaches (I believe you) would choose Messi. However, in actual actions, everything was somewhat different - even Guardiola (who in words is just a fanatic of Messi) came up with excuses for many years in a row when he was asked about the transfer of Messi to City  
Failures in the center arose, of course, not only due to the fact that Messi did not work in defense, but also due to the fact that he did not move much, plus, probably, he began to lose speed with age. In fact now he is a very technical but slow player who is only good in some aspects. That is why he turned out to be of no use to anyone in Europe and ended his career here.

I know what you mean when you mentioned Guardiola, but I think that Guardiola was also saying something else. He has repeated numerous times that the Champions League wins he had with Barcelona were mainly due to Messi being by far the best in the world. Guardiola wanted to win that title without Messi as well. Guardiola also never cast the slightest of doubt that Messi is by far the best player who has ever played the sport.~

You are even more cunning than Guardiola  It's hard to argue against such a thesis: "It's too easy to win the Champions League with Messi, so I'll try without him!" 
Maybe the gold treble of the Spanish national team could outweigh his words, but as I understood in words, both you and I can turn the situation around  so let's just dwell on the fact that Messi left Europe ending his career here (ending "big" career).

[Rengga Jati]

The third match will be much more difficult where PSG must face Lens, Luis Enrique must be able to maximize the players he has and the third match must be a comeback for PSG to get full points. Mbappe and Dembele will be even more solid after going through some training and I'm sure that now they are united because they have adapted in the previous matches.

Unfortunately, yes.
Yes, they should. however, the draw in the first two games for PSG is not good enough. PSG has indeed experienced a slight decline in performance, perhaps due to the lack of good players there. And currently their performance is still unstable. There is some work that Enrique has to fix. The first two matches were failures, even though they didn't lose, PSG class should be able to get full points in those matches. It's probably still early in the season, so at least they still have plenty of opportunities to fix it and take the top position again as long as Enrique can make his whole team work optimally and ignore the skewed issues that might exist at his club.

We know PSG got much more investment compared to all other teams in the French league but still, they sometimes can't good results, and the reason for these results is mostly because the other teams will analyze and understand how to make them stop. However, we know even with the huge amount of money they spent on PSG in the last years still they are not a strong team coating to the other teams in the world with the same budget.

Lens must also try to win because in this match when they win and get 3 points, they will indirectly be superior to PSG for the title race this season.

True, Lens is not really good this season as they are yet to take all three points after two matches, Lens has not won any match in the league this season so I think your information about them winning in their previous match isn't totally true because their last match against Rennes ended in a 1:1 draw while they lost in their opening match against Brest 3:2.
I think the problem surrounding the PSG team is centred on the coach inability to pick the right players for his first team, Enrique can not decide to keep Mbappe to play from the bench when he's aware that Mbappe remains the engine room of the team so long as PSG is concerned so I thinkaking the best selection help him to get the three points at home against Lens That is in poor form too but if they don't win against Lens then all eyes will be on Enrique because they will find it difficult to fight for the league this season.

I don't think there's any club in the French Ligue 1 that can match the qualities of players Paris Saint Germaine whenever they perform at the very top of their abilities and that's why I think it's absolutely unnecessary for anyone to think that just because they're having a poor start to the season, beating Lens will not be achievable for the French champions.
PSG I think will win their weekend game against Lens when the two clash in what is arguably the most interesting match of weekend in the French Ligue 1

PSG only triumphed in ligue 1 as the strongest team in the previous few seasons. This season PSG is not strengthened by Neymar and Messi because they have left for another team. There is still one name that is quite influential, he is Mbappe. If this season can provide their progress in the domestic league and the Champions League then Mbappe can be a big hero for PSG this season. But if Mbappe again fails to do so, it means that the PSG team is having a hard time in the Champions League to become title.

Other teams in Ligue 1 are not too aggressive in the Champions League except for PSG, so all fans in Ligue 1 may still have high hopes for PSG to be able to show their best strength in the Champions League this season.

The reason for PSG to usually fails in the Champions League is mostly because of their unbalanced team and the players they bought just because the players are famous, I think they need to have a better management team and we know other reasons for them to only win French League is because if not having a good competitor in France to make them ready for the harder matches in the champions league.

Tomorrow Nantes vs Monaco of French Soccer League will start the match between these two teams. In this match, the Monaco team is much stronger. It is not clear in advance which team will win this match. But I hope Monaco team will perform very well in this match. Nantes team  Monaco team will have more chances to win this match if they perform poorly.

At one time PSG spent the most money in terms of signing players but they still have zero achievements in the Champions League. No matter how much money a club spends, if the players don't have a good relationship then the club spending that much money is a total waste of investment. Mbappe, Neymar, Messi are very important stars of these three clubs, but Mbappe and Neymar's relationship is bad. Mbappe and Messi's relationship is bad, that is, if there is no good relationship between the three main stars, how can the team's performance be good. PSG could not do well in Champions League due to lack of good relationship between players, lack of good quality manager in the club, lack of good quality midfielder in the team.

It is not clear in advance which team will win this match. But I hope Monaco team will perform very well in this match. Nantes team  Monaco team will have more chances to win this match if they perform poorly.

Monaco were successful in their first two games. it is inversely proportional to Nantes who lost points in their first two matches.
last season Nantes also performed poorly, but they are fortunate to still be able to stay in Ligue 1. Monaco is quite strong at the moment, even if it's just to beat Nantes, statistically, they can easily beat and get 3 points from them.
but what I hope is that Nantes will also experience a renaissance to perform better.
