French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

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.

PSG had the opportunity to dominate Ligue 1 and also achieve good results in the Champions League only because they spent a lot of money on transfers and they always had very strong players. And with the arrival of Enrique to the team, everything changed, they are trying to make PSG not a team consisting of stars, but a team Star. Maybe he will succeed before he is fired, but in this case there is a big risk that PSG can finish this Champions League in the group stage and I admit that in this case Enrique will be fired.

I mean we haven't heard from Messi about how much better he is than Ronaldo, have we? We haven't, and that is the most important part. Messi already knows he is better than Ronaldo and he doesn't need to keep reminding people about how he is better. Ronaldo knows he isn't better, so he ends up trying to make it look like he is better, that's the inferiority complex that he has.

Still, not sure if the entire league getting a response to Ronaldo is a professional look, this is that new age type of thing we see in social media, even corporations trolling and memeing to get more attention, but I am sure that eventually we are going to end up with a better result for viewership, or at least engagement on social media.

Enrique is now tasked with building the PSG team with slow progress and PSG is now no longer wasting money to buy players because they are aware of what they did in the past did not meet the team's targets even though they have spent a lot of money.
In Ligue 1, there is indeed no team that is able to put pressure on PSG because their financial strength is above average so I do not deny that PSG can dominate League 1 for a long time to come but our target is in the Champion League and I think that is difficult and it will take several seasons for PSG to prepare their team.

It's because PSG has no rival in Ligue 1, that's why they cannot improve their performance to UCL standards. This is because no matter how bad they play, at the end of the season, they will still win the league. That has given them less concern to see UCL as a league that they need to win.

Ligue 1 is a weak league where only one club dominates, and none of the rest clubs are able to challenge PSG. I have dashed them the title this season and there no doubt about it.

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.

I just discussed this transfer on the SPL topic, this transfer is interesting because finally there's a transfer of players from SPL to Ligue 1 (AFAIK). Fofana didn't play well enough at Al-Nassr so he was loaned to Al-Ettifaq, apart from Al-Nassr not getting good services from Fofana, they also made a loss in terms of transfers, gave €25M & only got €20M. Only Lens wins here .

So far we have too often discussed the comparison of PSG in ligue 1 and UCL where the main problem is mentality in my opinion, Enrique efforts to build a more cohesive team can be a positive step by not relying on players stars and so far they have managed to do it in Ligue 1, while in the UCL obviously they still have to fight to qualify from the semi phase league, to be honest, I see that the chances of Enrique being retained by PSG are very unlikely, because so far they have never signed a coach for more than 2 seasons especially with their poor condition in the UCL, is certainly a strong reason for them to end their contract with Enrique later.

Ohhhh, Salah to PSG would be lovely for them without a doubt, it would really be lovely. I mean we have been talking about how he might leave for Saudi league and all that because he would make a lot more money there, but with this kind of return, I feel like that would be a lot better and we are going to definitely see him do a lot better there.

With PSG being a top team, getting titles, and also he would be getting paid more there too, and he could maybe help them with UCL as well. Dude is still playing at an elite level so it would be shame if he leaves the greatest stage, but with PSG he could still end up with UCL and league, with league title being easy to get for him. Lets hope to see something happen there, PSG would be ideal for him for sure.

I don't think it's right to look for the fault in coach Enrique. The players' situation actually reveals the current position of the team. The players are not top-level players for the Champions League. Besides, they weren't successful in the Champions League when Messi, Neymar and Mbappé were there. In my opinion, Enrique is the best coach for Paris Saint-Germain in recent times. If they let him go, no one can guarantee that the coach who replaces him will be more successful.

Only Lens wins here .

Actually, we shouldn’t criticize European players for this. Life in Europe is very different from life in Saudi Arabia. Most players can’t adapt to this league. Maybe Fofana had a similar problem. He couldn’t solve this problem and couldn’t show his performance. Maybe it would be better for him to return to France. Also, it seems like the days of Saudi Arabian teams buying players blindly are over. They are now returning to the strategy of signing the players they want. They can also sell the ones they don’t like. The damage they will do doesn’t really matter to them.

I'm still laughing at Cristiano Ronaldo's comment on a comparison between the Ligue 1 and Saudi league.    He thinks that the Saudi league is more quality than the Ligue 1. Can you believe that? Just how can it be true?

We don't even watch proper football being played in Saudi Arabia. Let's face this truth. The stars going there are playing very comfortably. Because they don't come across any team defending strongly. The teams there are nothing alike European teams. The thing they do is more like walking than running on the pitch. How can it be quality football? Just because you are bringing good names it doesn't mean the league quality increases highly. We need to see better football at the same time. Not even every star going there is playing impressively by the way.

This might sound funny because he doesn't play in League 1, if he has ever played in Ligga one Francis, his argument will most likely be accepted but he only said that with no experience in League 1.
I think one thing, an expression like this deliberately to be triggered to reconcile the Saudi League which in my opinion some time is a little dim in the discussion on social media, therefore controversial things like this are revealed to provoke the mass media to return to see how the Saudi League, and if you see it from This point of view is quite logical for Ronaldo to lure the emotions of soccer audiences to speculate again and the most effective way for marketing.

I don't think this is funny because Ronaldo is probably right. He was right about one thing, the Saudi Pro League was of higher quality so he had to protest more to the referee than all the other domestic leagues he had ever played in. I've never seen Ronaldo be that harsh on a referee during a protest, but in the Saudi Pro League, he had to do it because he felt it was unfair.

Let's say that the Saudi Pro League is of higher quality among all the domestic leagues in Asia, but Ligue 1 is one of the best in Europe. I'm not going to argue about it because I don't think there's any benefit for any of us, but this kind of thing might spark some speculation that could have a positive or negative impact on the football industry right now. No matter how good the SPL is, I think Ligue 1 is still one of the best in Europe.

Previously the things that have to do with the UCL and PSG is that they have done very badly, being with any coach, now everything falls on Luis Enrique, because he is a coach with a lot of temperament but unfortunately he has not been able to get a good performance of PSG in the UCL, in Ligue 1 they are kings, the truth is something that has many bored, because the level of Ligue 1 does not seem high to me, and perhaps that is the consequence of why they do not perform in the UCL, compared to the PL, the League, even the Bundesligta for me they are very high in level of football than French football, even the level of the Saudi League seems higher to me.

Actually, indirectly I understand the meaning of Ronaldo's words, currently he is making the Saudi League known throughout the world and he is bringing the name of League 1 to make Saudi Arabian clubs known to be more competitive than League 1 even though we don't know how strong they really are when they meet, what I know is that there are no players who badmouth their clubs in that league, of course as an Al Nassr player he must be able to make his club shine more. But football fans already understand because the only ones who can judge whether a team's game is good or not are we ourselves who can judge it.

Yes what you said is right, he is in the Saudi Pro League and he definitely wants to bring the Saudi Pro League as a whole to be better known to many people, and one of the factors that makes the Saudi Arabian team bring in famous players is also because they want the league to be better known to many people, and maybe something like this is in the unwritten contract of both parties. Well this also depends on perception of course although this will also give rise to pros and cons, because of course the Ligue 1 will react to what Ronaldo said. Of course they also want to deny and say they are better.

Last season was not so bad, PSG managed to reach the semifinals although in the end they were defeated by Dortmund and failed to enter the final to compete for the title and this season the fact that we are witnessing is that PSG is one of the worst team in the UCL.
PSG is still at the bottom, I don't know if they can enter the play-offs or not but if later PSG does not enter the play-off then it is clear that their performance not like team that has strong squad, in terms of players PSG has many great players and they should at least be able to enter the play-off until they enter the last 16.

[SatoPrincess]

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.

I’m a big fan of Christiano Ronaldo and I know he’s not the type to speak recklessly when asked a question. I don’t know why a lot of people are offended by one man’s opinion. Even though he never played in the Ligue 1, over the course of his career he has played a lot of Champions League matches against teams from the Ligue 1 and has the experience. The Ligue 1 is a farmers league, yes. They know it’s true that’s why they are being defensive. PSG has been farming the league for years without any opposition, the Saudi Pro League doesn’t have one team dominating the league. In that sense, I would say the Saudi Pro League is more competitive than the Ligue 1.

Last season was not as bad as this season because they managed to advance to the semifinals even though they eventually lost to Dortmund but if you look at this season PSG's performance has actually declined a lot and there is almost no confidence for them to qualify for the next round. To enter the next round may be difficult because in the remaining matches they have to face opponents who can be said to be equal even though Manchester City's performance itself is unstable.

Everything has become more difficult for PSG this season in the Champions League and I believe they will not be able to qualify for the next round. This should be a big evaluation for the management because if it continues like this then there is no hope for PSG to fight for the title that most teams really want.

Enrique has been with PSG for a very longtime and have been used to the team and now has been able to know most of his player all this years and so he's actually like the best for the team and then he is now even trying to get the team to a position that they have been wishing and one of his biggest drive is to win the champions league. people trying to blame him is almost normal for almost every one both fans and non fans because its been a norm that you always blame the coach for every fall of the player and the teams general performance.

~Snip~

PSG had the opportunity to dominate Ligue 1 and also achieve good results in the Champions League only because they spent a lot of money on transfers and they always had very strong players. And with the arrival of Enrique to the team, everything changed, they are trying to make PSG not a team consisting of stars, but a team Star. Maybe he will succeed before he is fired, but in this case there is a big risk that PSG can finish this Champions League in the group stage and I admit that in this case Enrique will be fired.

The club's top brass have high expectations for Luis Enrique, he is expected to bring changes, especially to PSG overall performance and improve the players mentality when playing in the UCL. I wouldn't be surprised if PSG managed to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season as they have always dominated the domestic league in the last few years, but they are still struggling to compete in the UCL despite having players with above average abilities and being handled by a coach who is very experienced in the competition.
Luis Enrique career at PSG may not last long if he fails to lead PSG to win the UCL trophy.
