French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Hirose UK]

People keep saying that it is super easy for PSG to win the league like that's such a simple task, which isn't a simple task to do even with money, but lets leave that aside for a minute and talk about how the same people who think its easy to win every year, also are the people who criticize PSG for doing worse than other french teams in UCL as well. I mean, are they good or are they bad? Is Brest or Monaco or Lille are good or bad? If they are good, then its great for PSG to beat them, if they are bad, how are they ranking so high at UCL standings? I believe, what they are doing, not just winning the league but the longevity of their domination is definitely great. We saw recently how City dominated for a while and look where they are now, PSG never has that, they always keep being the best, we should focus on that a lot more.

One thing I would say to what you have said here is about looking at the stability of each team from various leagues which of course varies, there are many teams that are strong in the domestic league but bad in other competitions whether it is UCL or Europa League and vice versa there are teams with lower quality in the domestic league but they are strong in other competitions.
For example Real Madrid who performed not so bad in La Liga even though they experienced decline but they are still quite strong and when in the UCL competition they almost lost their place for the play-off round and only got 3 win with 3 loss.

Ronaldo statement at the globe soccer awards event has caused controversy at this time, although indeed what he said is mostly true, but that it has disturbed the minds of many parties in ligue 1 at the moment, Ronaldo's words are a crushing blow to the competition in ligue 1 which is easier today than the Saudi Arabian league, because so far PSG continues to dominate the league without any resistance from other teams so that actually Ronaldo only talks about the fact about the league, in addition to Ligue 1 social media posted a picture of Messi holding the World Cup trophy in reply for Ronaldo remarks, apart from that, even the teams in Ligue also attacked Ronaldo and claimed his remarks were nonsense as done by Monaco social media.

This is his own personal opinion but then it turns out people are taking it too deep, he's speaking form his own experience having played in different teams and leagues and across over various continents tooo, all of that put together probably have informed his reason for saying all of that that he did mentioned about the leagues and so for me i think what PSG would have done would have better been to trying to adjust buy implementing and making some adjustments to improve them generally and not trying to fight the statement so much.

The statement has caused controversy although what he said is true, I think Ronaldo's remarks should actually be criticism that they can accept well, not only from experienced footballers but we as spectators can also compare which league is better today with more competitive competition happening, the Ligue 1 authorities should be able to take the criticism as constructive feedback  to make adjustments and not to instead of denying the statement, when the Ligue 1 authorities took Ronaldo's remarks as an insult, but in my opinion, for PSG it is a compliment that  indeed  has shown how powerful they have been in Ligue 1 so far .

It is easy for PSG to win the local league title because PSG is stronger than other teams in the local league and PSG is a team with consistent performance in the local league. PSG is a strong team so they can easily win against other teams and this confidence helps them to stay at the top of the points table. If it was difficult for them to win the local league title, they could not win the France league title consistently. If another France league team ever wins the local league title I will applaud that team but I think psg will keep up their tradition even if they have to spend more money they will not hesitate.

PSG are ready to get Mohamed Salah
Salah is complaining about his contract extension with Liverpool and sarcastically said that Liverpool does not want to take the initiative to keep their big star
And this means that the conditions are ready to attract him and PSG has acted first of all
salah is shining these days and many people him to be the winner of the Ballon d'Or
PSG had a call with salah and told him: "If he goes to paris as a free agent in the summer, they will sign a three year agreement with him, salah's salary during this period will be 500 thousand euros per week. 2 million euros per month and 24m euros per year. Salah will earn nearly 75 million euros in three years in Paris."
This transfer will be a win-win for psg. not only will they not have to pay a huge amount to liverpool, but they will also find a very good replacement for their lost star kylian mbappe. It seems that nasser Al-Khelaifi, who got Mbappe out of Real Madrid's grasp in a similar scenario, now wants to implement the same scenario on Liverpool.

It sounds interesting. Weren't they looking for a CF as a priority?    I mean they are planning to send Kolo Muani from the team soon. There are already many news pointing to their interest in bringing Osimhen into his place as well.

When it comes to the Salah interest, of course it must be exciting for the fans too. But PSG already has Dembele as RW you know. There would be a big conflict in case of signing Salah. You can say that Dembele can use his both foot effective so he can play on the left wing as well. However then there are Barcola and Doue playing already. Does Luis Enrique think of benching them both? If the answer is yes then okay. Salah would surely be a huge strength addition to the attacking line at PSG. But I think he wants to hear from Liverpool about a new contract first.

I don't quite understand how Liverpool have no effort to keep their key players, because it seems that not only Salah whose contact has not been extended but there are still other key players who have not received a contract extension. If Liverpool really do not make quick steps to extend the contract of Salah and other key players, then of course it will have a bad impact on Liverpool. But, if PSG really will succeed in getting Salah then at this moment maybe we will be able to say it is a very good recruit. But in reality, we will never know for sure whether Salah will really manage to keep playing with good performance or not at PSG later.

Seko Fofana, who moved to the Arab League from Lens for 25 million Euro the previous summer, is back in the French league. Al-Nassr have agreed with Rennes for 20 million Euro for his sale. The player, who failed to contribute a goal or an assist in 13 games while on loan at Al-Ettifaq in the Arab League, is waiting to see how he will perform at Rennes. They usually keep the midfield crowded in their game plan. They added one more midfielder to the squad. The league is not going the way they wanted this season. Maybe this transfer will be good for them.

Let's not be quick to think that PSG will do any better if the have salah, they once had the world's best player in their team and yet they still didn't do any better,  so let's bring down the expectations small.  So we don't get disappointed if it turns out that our expectations are not met. Salah alone cannot do all the job to get PSG doing any better,  he's will need his team mates alongside him, even if there will be so much dependency on him, he still will need the collective effort of his team mate to get the team productive. But actually I know it's going to be of a great impact to the team fir the first few seasons he will be with them if he action goes there before his performances drops because going by his age, it will surely drop soon.

I fully support your opinion bro. Bringing in Moh Salah does not provide any guarantee and PSG previously did not lack players at that time having Messi, Neymar and also Mbappe. But the fact remains that it is only the strongest team in league 1 and is still very weak in the UCL.
Whatever players PSG brings in, I always think skeptically before PSG brings in professional players and also coaches who have great experience to provide new strategies to bring PSG to a higher level in prestigious competitions.

I see PSG only being the strongest team in League 1, not for the Champions League, the coach and world star players are united in the team but the results in the UCL are still not in the highest caste. Moh Salah is also one of the best players. I support PSG's manager making him a key player, maybe changes will happen quickly.
PSG currently really needs professional players and coaches to maintain the quality of the team in the highest competition next season.

The only reason why PSG always dominate Ligue 1 is because they have a bigger belly than their rivals, I mean, PSG can do anything with the money the club owner has including bringing in world class players. However, PSG weakness is that they do not have a champion mentality in the European arena, just look at their fate in the Champions League.
The deficiency is due to Ligue 1 being less competitive, there they can win easily because their competitors have a hard time beating them, but when PSG meets a stronger team in the UCL, they will lose their best form.

Salah has made it clear that he wants to stay at Liverpool, but it seems that question marks have been raised over the possibility of Salah signing a new deal. Fabrizio Romano has reported positive developments on the matter. Romano expressed his strong confidence that Liverpool will reach an agreement on Salah. However, his statements about Salah's future at Liverpool did not make it clear whether he would stay at Liverpool or not. Liverpool and PSG both offer similar contracts for Salah. It would be better for Salah to stay at Liverpool. Because he is a player who fits into the Liverpool system and is ready to become a legend here. I hope we will continue to watch him at Liverpool.

War of words ongoing between Cristiano Ronaldo and the Ligue 1's social media team right now. Ronaldo had mentioned that he found the Saudi Professional League tougher than Ligue 1 (which I would agree). Obviously this was sort of humiliation for the French, who then resorted to personal attacks against Ronaldo. There is no doubt that the quality of Ligue 1 has declined over the years. And Ronaldo is right when he claims that Paris Saint-Germain is the only quality team left in the league.

The situation is a little worse for Ligue 1 now especially when the competition is indeed very lacking in terms of competitiveness and the loss of some of their star players who always lift the popularity of Ligue 1 not to mention Cristiano's words which we certainly know the impact which must be extraordinary will clearly be a successive blow in the end for Ligue 1.

Cristiano's words do smell a little condescending but he is in the SPL so it is quite natural that he would give such an answer especially for now what Cristiano said is not entirely true even if you look at the last few seasons it seems that instead of focusing more on competition, Ligue 1 fans from outside (non-fans) just want to see the star players to play like me who have not watched anymore because some of the star players there left. What makes this so serious is that Cristiano is the only one who said it, if it was anyone else it wouldn't be as big of a deal as it is now.

No doubt peoples are talking things well after checking all ground realities about teams and with their performance as well we have well dominance of PSG in French soccer for last ten years no team able to give them challenge as they are thrashing their opponents without any problem while they are having problematic end of their seasons in Champions League despite in this new format they are not able to have anything positive even we have Brest, Lille and Monaco doing much better.

For me their performance in Champions League was terrible due to their strategy which never allow them to have things on balance but now this new season they are having young squad which can give them better results in next season while others are surely having good time while they are strongly going into next stage with their impressive run.

That's how Ligue 1 works and no team has been able to break PSG's dominance in the last ten years, making this league not so competitive to watch and almost most people don't have a great interest in following the development of Ligue 1. I think changes need to be made by most teams there and maybe money is one of the factors that makes this league not so thick with the competition for the title because it is far from PSG's financial capabilities compared to other teams.

Strangely when talking about competition in the Champions League, PSG actually looks like another weak team and has almost no chance of competing in the title race. The factor of the absence of competition in Ligue 1 is also one of the reasons because they do not face pressure or comparable competition so that when competing in the Champions League, they have difficulty dealing with pressure.

PSG currently really needs professional players and coaches to maintain the quality of the team in the highest competition next season.

I am more focused on the coach than the players and if Moh Salah successfully goes to PSG after June 2025, of course PSG can feel a slightly different change if some other players can be friendly enough with Moh Salah. But we also need to know that PSG has also hosted several star players in the same season but PSG still failed in the Champions League so the arrival of Moh Salah will not guarantee that PSG can immediately improve in the Champions League because the tension of the Champions League is always heavier than domestic leagues like Ligue 1.

If he doesn't later change his min actually, because the offers trying to fly around is enough for a money conscious person to want to make considerations, mind you, Saudi leagues are yet to show interest and make offers, we know the kind of offers those people do make so i believe except he isn't making it about the funds then he will be staying back but at this time that he is getting close to retirement, its very likely money becomes paramount since he's got enough of accolades to himself, he's also won so many trophies already except for the ballon d'or, he will soon get pass his prime so will want to make the most of funds before then.

In as much as the French ligue 1 might be less competitive, I don't support Cristiano Ronaldo on his claim that the Saudi Pro League is more tougher than the ligue 1. How can you compare a League that doesn't compete in the Champions League with a one that constantly compete in the champions League, that's absurd. I call the Saudi pro League a holiday League where players go and play in a less competitive environment and get huge wages. And I don't think his idea of PSG being the only quality team left in the league to be true.

Mo Salah to PSG is being rumored, but we Liverpool may still keep him for a few more seasons and want to make him a legend at Anfield.

In terms of transfers, it does not entirely depend on the club but also on the player himself. It is not wrong if PSG wants to make Mo Salah a key player target to strengthen the club based in Paris because the club really wants to win the Champions League. What is the lack of players who have strengthened PSG such as Messi and Mbappe and a number of other great players.
For me, the relationship between Liverpool and Mo Salah is still very harmonious.
