French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[baeva]

The club president decided to let the players go? Laughs... Neymar went to Saudi Arabia on his own for money, Messi left the club because he was uncomfortable being there and we all remember how he was treated, and Mbappe waited until his contract expired and left on his own. Remember, Mbappe didn't want to play at all when they realised he wouldn't sign a new contract. So it wasn't the club president who decided to do the bold move

Three players leaving PSG are different, dude.

PSG took utter most financial liability by signing Neymar with record breaking wages.
Why? cause his consistent injury issues make him spent a long time on the bench every season.
And even then Neymar left PSG after receiving an offer of even higher wages from the Saudi club.

You know, Messi always wanted to stay in Europe.
If Neymar was not at there, then Messi probably would not have wanted to come to PSG.
Management offered Messi high wages at the same time Neymar was here, so Messi decided to join only for Neymar.
after the contract expired, he left.

Mbappe's case was a ultimate multi year transfer saga.
Every month media spread rumor Mbappe will leave PSG, but he has extended contract several times.
You know, he is a French citizen, his French connection kept him at PSG longer than expected.
Otherwise, we would have seen Mbappe in Madrid's squad much earlier.

I wasn't writing about why the club president allowed three players to stay at the club, I was writing that it wasn't him who let the players go, it was the players who left on their own volition. If you can argue about two players - Neymar and Messi, it's pointless to argue about Mbappe because the PSG management did their best to keep him at the club.

The news today is that Paul Pogba is heading to Monaco. What do you think about this? Pogba hasn't played football for a long time, but he has been training individually and he will return to football. He has been linked with many clubs, but it looks like he will return to play in France.
I wonder how he will return to football after his successful days at Manchester United and Juventus. He is past his prime and the long separation has dulled some of his qualities. Still, he is a very talented player and I think he can find a place in Ligue 1. He shouldn't expect too much in terms of salary though.

Pogba certainly has to be realistic about salary, AS Monaco will not recruit him if they have to pay Pogba salary too high, considering this is a deal full of risk. Pogba has been absent from playing football for two seasons, of course it is difficult to find his best performance again, and I am sure AS Monaco will not recruit him if there are many financial demands.

If you look at his age, Pogba can actually still play at the top level for the next two or three seasons, of course if everything goes according to expectations with AS Monaco. Hopefully his career will not have any more problems in the future, and it is possible that by playing with AS Monaco, Pogba will get another chance to strengthen the French National Team in the future.

Dembele's contract at PSG is still until June 30, 2028. And with his contribution, his achievements, and also his performance during his time at PSG, PSG still maintains the player who is included as the highest Ballon d'Or nominee. Yes, just check his achievements this season:

Since Paris Saint-Germain have just won the UEFA Champions League, I think they would never want to sell their best player. Moreover an important task for this club is to extend his contract so that no other club is interested in him. We had previously heard rumours that English Premier League clubs were interested in signing the player but PSG were steadfast in their decision, which has enabled them to win important trophies today. As far as I know, the former World Cup winner for France has been a complete possessing elite skills this season as he has been valuable to PSG in all competitions, maybe he will emerge in his own glory against Spurs in the UEFA Super Cup final.

Of course, he is a very valuable asset for PSG, PSG is also not short of money, and PSG is not the type of club that likes to sell its top players for money. So he will stay in PSG at least until the end of the contract, with the market value that is indeed increasing.

Although his highest market value was during his peak in 2019 when he was at Barcelona, ​​now his contribution to the club is really visible and his market value has increased since he was at PSG.

[Just Say]

We saw excellent form by players of Paris Saint-Germain football team as they did 5 goals in one match and performance of that team was at hipe because they did 5 goals which is not easy to do for any team.  One person did 2 goals but others did 1 ,1 goal in this match. The effort of that team was hundred percent and we all minutes of the match and opponent team could not do anything in this match as they could not do any goal in this match. The stats of that team was also good and shots of that team were 23 and 8 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 60 percent in this match.The possession percentage of opponent team was very low and that was 40 percent.

Literally the whole thing was discussed about the potential of a rising player from Paris Saint-Germain but you mentioned their entire team stats here, that was about their UCL match. We all observed that the form of most of PSG's rising stars in that match was incredible, even scoring five goals in one match. I have already stated that since the Parisians have just won the UEFA Champions League, they will not sell their best player. Moreover Paris Saint-Germain Football Club has shown a good conscience as they have long ago accepted the personal terms of the French World Cup winning winger, therefore it can be emphasized that he will be able to increase the quality of his career even in the Super Cup match.

PSG has a good squad depth that Luis Enrique can possibly use to retain the French Ligue 1 title and compete in the UEFA Champions League competition. Luis Enrique just needs to add a few players to his squad so that if PSG is hit with an injury crisis, there will always be good players on the bench for Luis Enrique to use at PSG, and PSG will not struggle the way Real Madrid did this season when they were hit with an injury crisis.

I have zero worries about them retaining the league 1 for yet another season but they need additions, especially when it comes to a natural goalscorer leading the attack. More of Dembele as a false nine was injected and it worked for them but let's see what happens. They tried adding that Mastuono youngin from Rivers Plate but Real Madrid hijacked the deal for him. They're more focused on winning the Champions League Competition next season. Paul Pogba is in talks with Monaco,  I'm already adsn if tue move pulls through.

Moreover, PSG has no financial problems so they will not sell their best players, because they have just won the prestigious UCL trophy and they will definitely want him again next season.

PSG is a club that loves to retain players with incredible skills and I believe PSG wouldn't want to sell off Ousmane dembele or loose him to other clubs who desperately In need of signing the french star.
Dembele is a player that always proves his worth in any club he is playing for. When he was still playing for Barcelona ,he was among the Top best valuable performing players in the squad. This guy is a born start that Will keeps shining without ever fading . The Ballon d'Or has lost its credibility, having seen some players not worthy enough getting nominated for this award increases my doubt if a player like Ousmane dembele who's more deserving of this award amongst the rest of the nominee will be allowed to win it especially since he's black.

The news today is that Paul Pogba is heading to Monaco. What do you think about this? Pogba hasn't played football for a long time, but he has been training individually and he will return to football. He has been linked with many clubs, but it looks like he will return to play in France.

It was great news, after a long wait from his suspension he would finally be playing again. Another good news is that he will play with Ansu Fati there, I really hope they both can make an impressive performance when the league starts.

I wonder how he will return to football after his successful days at Manchester United and Juventus. He is past his prime and the long separation has dulled some of his qualities. Still, he is a very talented player and I think he can find a place in Ligue 1. He shouldn't expect too much in terms of salary though.

About the quality, it will definitely not be the same as when he played at Manchester United & Juventus. But we can still hope that he will play well in the upcoming Ligue 1 matches. He's 32 years old, I'm sure he will get a decent salary, well, at least for the next 1 or 2 seasons.

So, we are going to see PSG make some changes this summer too. I am not expecting them to have some stupid changes like send Dembele away and Doue and then get some worse player. But they may make changes on the bench and what not, so we need to be very careful, if they just make bench changes then that would be great and we could see them have a bigger depth and higher quality overall, hence that should be better.

Dembele is one of the players that is behind PSG's success both in the French Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League competition this season, so I believe Luis Enrique and PSG will not allow Dembele to leave PSG. If Dembele's contract ends with PSG, I believe PSG will give him a bomber deal that will make it difficult for other clubs to sign him

Many may have thought that Paris Saint-Germain needed to add some more players, and we can see that they are currently looking to acquire the Ukrainian Defender. It has been observed that the team has targeted Ilya Zabarnyi from Bournemouth, so perhaps everyone expected that this player could serve the team from the Club World Cup onwards. Maybe no one will find anything lacking in the current UEFA Champions League team, but they may still be making new signings to increase the potential of this team. It is natural to think that the current UCL champions are now in a dilemma over their defensive position, so maybe the manager wants to specifically mention this area in the summer transfer window.

In the last few seasons, players have been quite hesitant to join PSG if not for the big salary offer, considering that the team has not had good achievements in European competitions. However, at the end of this season they have shown their dominance and strength, they managed to win the champions league title and become a highly respected club. So for now I think there is no doubt for the best players to join PSG.

Regarding Ilya Zabarnyi, although the player's transfer has not found a meeting point to make an agreement, but according to several rumors that Ilya Zabarnyi is quite interested in joining PSG. Because after all by joining PSG, the player will play at a high level including in the champions league. However, it is very unfortunate that in this summer's transfer market PSG had to be caught out by Real Madrid, where the player who had been targeted by them for a long time and had met several times, Franco Mastantuono failed to resonate with PSG and chose to anchor at the Santiago Bernabeu with Real Madrid.

Luis Enrique just wants to polish the depth of his squad in the transfer market, by recruiting some new players, and most likely all the players in the main squad will stay. I think Luis Enrique definitely needs to do it, because as an effort to anticipate various bad situations such as injuries. With the increasing workload of players due to the tight match schedule, Luis Enrique certainly needs quality rotation options.

[Velvet78]

I'm not sure whether PSG really needs signings this summer. I mean the squad is already superb for Luis Enrique's system. 

What can they do the most?

- They can sign a proper backup CF in case Gonçalo Ramos leaves. Kolo Muani is about to return from loan but I don't think he will be staying long again.

- And they can just extend the contracts of their best players which have only 1 year left. For example Donnarumma's expires next summer.

Umm, you're actually right but I don't think I can go with this your opinion, yes they've got some pretty players, but that doesn't guarantee their winnings next season, sorry to say this season might be a season of grace to them, imagine winning UCL and again the two domestic trophies in their league which gives the the chance of entering the list of treble winners isn't that amazing, and do you think with same players they can achieve such next season? Nope they might do well but not as much as they have done this season, okay take a look at man City, despite them having quality players every season, yet they don't miss out on signing players to strengthen the squad the more, so I think they should go into the market to tighten up the squad for next season, like it won't be crime if the should win it twice in a row. The thing is no matter how good the squad is they still need players for backup plan.

Dembele is one of the best in the PSG team currently his performance during their outing last season can not be overlooked as he contributed so much towards the success of the team and I don't think they will be willing to let him go if his contract expires with the team. PSG knows that other European clubs will be looking forward to sign him so making him a good offer will help to keep him in the team.

Even PSG did not add new players, but with their current squad, they will still perform greatly and win Ligue 1. They may still perform well in the Champions League and other competitions. But the truth is, they need to add some players and backup in case their key players are injured. This way, they will have replacements. PSG is not the kind of team that avoids spending; PSG likes to spend just to achieve their goals. Every season, PSG always signs quality players, and even sooner, I am expecting better transfers from their side. Let’s just continue watching what kind of steps they will take before the season starts.

Luis Enrique is one of the best coach in job with his experience and strategy he makes things on level which help his players for going fearless in Champions League and won which they have done without any big trouble.

Beating top clubs from Premier League and then humiliating defeat to Inter Milan surely bring good confidence for players to stay here and enjoy their game for next season as well literally they use their domestic league as practice and strategically for having better results in Champions League which works for them and their players were also able to stay on good level. Now after having win things are taking good turn because they needed to be stayed on good level and had balanced squad which will help them for having consistency and good level performance hopefully coach will do his best, and they could be able to achieve their best results in coming years.

Although Enrique made an extraordinary history with PSG but before that many doubted Enrique. 
If you remember the beginning of last season Enrique was very doubtful and even I myself doubted whether Enrique was able to bring PSG to a higher level. But they don't realize that the coach previously had good experience with the popular La Liga team. With this experience Enrique can successfully bring PSG to get titles in several competitions last season. This achievement adds to the best history that the coach has and will always be remembered at any time and Enrique successfully opened the eyes of the world to see his best career.

I think it is very reasonable, because we have all seen PSG continue to fail in the Champions League, we only really believe after PSG succeeded, and once again Enrique managed to prove his quality. PSG success should actually be seen from various aspects, besides because they have all the attributes needed as the main requirement to win the trophy, I think PSG is indeed in the right momentum. I mean, the decline of teams like Madrid and Man City has indirectly benefited PSG.

On the other hand, PSG locked the Ligue 1 trophy faster, so they could focus all their attention on the Champions League, when their competitors still had to divide their focus with domestic competitions. Overall, PSG was luckier and they deserved to win it. Meanwhile, maybe in the future PSG management will think about making a statue of Enrique in front of the stadium.

What a season Dembele has had, just take a look at his statistics, 27 Man of the match awards, 40 goals scored for him in a season. I think this is actually his best season far because I can't ever remember him having such a season for Barcelona back then. He was always injured and I wonder if it was due to the intensive training his had at the club. This is a new Dembele, I still hope to see more of him next season and beyond.

Winning Champions League must be a big achievement for the PSG but players are still not happy to join this club, it's not all about PSG it's also because French League is having not good quality and their clubs are losing their rhythm which is hurting them badly. Currently, mostly big names are happy to join few top leagues in Europe which are giving good competitive and challenging playing conditions which are also important for players PSG is surely now one of the elite clubs in Europe, but they needed to keep consistency with good performance which will motivate players for them.

Coming season is going to be important because if they are able to keep things on balance then surely this could be brought good turning point and many players will be able to join them in the future.
