French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ancafe]

True the club world cup is over the focus of every team is to see how they will get their team tomorrow and face the challenge that is ahead of them especially the champions League that PSG will be defending it will not be an easy one for PSG because every team has their eyes on the champions League so they will have to be in the best of forms going into this season campaign but PSG has been quite silent in the market they need to bring in some quality players to strengthen their squad before the season starts

Almost all teams are preparing for their pre-season tours and are now focusing on finding the players they need for next season. PSG will be a contender in the process of defending their Champions League title and in Ligue 1 itself, they will be a little more relaxed because several teams there are arguably still below the average strength of PSG's current strength.

Luis Enrique needs to prepare everything for next season, as defending his Champions League title will not be easy, as several other top teams have also made progress after bringing in several new players in the current transfer window.

For now there is no team that can challenge PSG as far as the French ligue 1 is concerned because the gulf between PSG and the other teams is very wide but going into the next season this defeat to Chelsea has shown areas that PSG should improve on so that they can maintain this top form the coach has already stated after the game that they where going to review the game and look at areas where they got it wrong.


So far it's only madrid that has won the champions League back to back in this era so it will be difficult for PSG to replicate that

Ligue 1 has mostly never been a problem to PSG ever since they started dominating the league,  they have their strength both financially and with the quality of their team and this has further continued to keep their morale,  but this does. Not fo beyond the Ligue 1, even with the champions league they won, I still do not want to see them as been unstoppable or too formidable for other teams out there, untill they are able to replicate a fragment of Madrid's results at the champions league,  for me they are not solid enough in the champions league but still tops in their Ligue 1.

Unstoppable for PSG winning or dominance at Ligue 1 in last several season only season 2020/21 after Lille success becoming the winner, since season 2014 until right now PSG losses twice season only from AS Monaco at season 2016/17 and season 2020/21 from Lille. Almost ten years season easily for PSG dominating at Ligue 1 without get difficult opponent team can stoppable for winning domestic league and PSG won behind many points left from the second standings team.
For this season winner? no doubt PSG must be favorable team after winning Champion League and have confidence easily for winning Ligue 1 without get difficult opponent team, maybe Monaco or the promotion team Paris FC should be little difficult opponent for PSG.

The Club World Cup is now behind us. There's little point in discussing it. Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain needs to focus on winning the French league and competing for a second consecutive Champions League title. They need to focus on this and prepare their players for it. That final against Chelsea is now behind them. First and foremost, they have a Super Cup match ahead of them. If they put in a good performance in the friendly matches, they'll likely win it.

PSG can win next season easily even without any preparation. They're the only team with most expensive squad in French league. I don't wanna talk about their quality because that's obvious they 100% a winner next season.
I can't even name a club that can compete with them next season. It's because we have no other oil club than PSG.

Well personally, PSG is already the champions of League 1 even before they will kick the ti officially kick start the new season, lol. It's already that predictable and it's 99% sure that they will win the league the remaining 1% is just because it's football and anything can happen of which we doubt I'm this case. About the Champions League, that's were they need to pour all their energy on but it's still not a guarantee for them because for them to retain that trophy then they must put in 100% into it, because I don't see PSG winning the Champions League next season.

This is what makes the French League less appealing to many. Even before the season starts, we can already predict which team will win the title. They are too dominant, both in terms of squad and manager, while their competitors lack the necessary resources to maintain consistency until the end of the season.

Even teams other than PSG probably have no hope of winning the title. They can only compete for second, third, and fourth place in the standings, hoping to qualify for the Champions League. After all, there's no hope, because PSG's current strength is unstoppable, especially after winning the Champions League trophy, which has certainly boosted their confidence in domestic competition.

I only hope that one day an oil magnate from the Middle East will invest in a French league team to match PSG's strength, which would ultimately make the league more competitive.

That's why they refer to it as farmers league since it's being dominated by only one team for a very long time, and with how stronger PSG has developed into I don't think any  other team would be able to challenge them next season funny enough, even though they don't often play with their first team starters they'll still win the league, that's not what fans want to see.

 Fans love suspense, tougher competition and something that would give them the passion to keep following up the league games weekly, PSG might have their fans in France attend matches and fill up the stadium but they won't get much viewers outside france, since there's not competition in the league.

The French club are currently looking to make an improvement offer for a defender as we can see that they rebuild their defensive positions since their defeat in the Club World Cup. However at the moment it can be said that this club may face obstacles as Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is monitoring this player as an alternative to Christian Romero. Yet we know that the scale of the financial transactions of this club, which is under the presidency of Qatar so it's very likely that they will be able to recruit Zabarnyi to the team.

Perhaps this player will be a reliable partner for the current defenders of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club, so I think the French club's interest in him will increase very quickly.

PSG have stepped up their pursuit of Bournemouth defender Illya Zabarnyi in recent weeks, but negotiations remain tense with both clubs standing their ground.
According to L’Équipe’s Loïc Tanzi, PSG have opened talks for the 22-year-old, who is reportedly open to the move, especially with the FIFA Club World Cup on the horizon. However, Bournemouth continue to hold firm on their €70 million valuation.

Luis Enrique needs to prepare everything for next season, as defending his Champions League title will not be easy, as several other top teams have also made progress after bringing in several new players in the current transfer window.

Seriously, it will not be easy for PSG next season, as many top teams are strengthening their squads by adding new, quality players. So, if PSG wants to defend their Champions League title, honestly, they need to bring in some high-quality players to be strong enough for next season’s Champions League competition.however, if PSG is only going to focus on Ligue 1, I don’t think they need to stress themselves to sign new players. Even with their current squad, I don't think any team in Ligue 1 will be able to compete with PSG for the Ligue 1 trophy because most teams in Ligue 1 aren’t well-prepared for next season. The teams that could compete with PSG have not signed quality players that could strengthen them enough to challenge PSG.

So, I’m more confident that PSG will be the winner of next season's Ligue 1 title. But for the Champions League, I don’t think they will be able to win it next season. In fact, from my own observation, some of their players may not be in form like last season because they might be exhausted. The topclass players know how to maintain their form throughout the season, but what PSG achieved last season seems like a result of collective effort, where individual players had to do extra work to achieve the Champions League.

Is it a difficult task for a squad like PSG to secure the Ligue 1 title ? Psg has a strong squad,and they have an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. More importantly , there is no other squad in Ligue 1 that is comparable to PSG. So the path to win Ligue 1 is utterly easy for PSG.

However, it is very difficult in the case of Champions League. I will not say that it is impossible  for PSG to win the Champions League title again. But it is very tough. Teams like Real Madrid, Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Munich and Barcelona are waiting for PSG on the Champions League platform. PSG played well against every giant team in the last season. However, it cannot be guaranteed that PSG will play well next season.

Your confidence in PSG is high but you shouldn't be sure yet because injuries can change the performance of a team and make their squad weak which their opponent the teams you have already underestimated can take advantage to stop them from defeating them and winning the league next season. PSG is the richest club in the league and the are in good form no doubt but we have seen teams like Leicester City coming from nowhere to win the English Premier League likewise Bayer Leverkusen winning the league ahead of Bayern Munich when they had issues in their form.

On a serious note Paris Saint Germain have been silent in this transfer window, or could the manager be thinking that maybe his squad is strong enough to face any team like that of last season? Yes the team is kind of solid but I still think he needs some new signing should in case of injury, and again defending the champions League is just just depending on the for of the team for the past season if Real Madrid think it that way they might not have won the title in three consecutive times so I will urge Paris Saint Germain to go into the market and get some other good players too so they can hold their stand in defending it.

But if it were other competitions like the Champions League, I doubt it.

Because every season, there are always clubs that consistently improve and know each other's weaknesses. This doesn't mean PSG doesn't have weaknesses, but other big clubs will certainly know what to do to eliminate PSG.
So, it's not just injuries that could be a problem for PSG, but weaknesses that other clubs know could become a major issue later.

True Chelsea has already shown that PSG can be beaten as they showed the weakness of this PSG side so going This this season it will be hard for PSG to still maintain top form because other teams has known and studied the way that PSG played their game and will definitely look for a way to break them down

PSG doesn't really need to plan ahead to win the French league title because they have always been the best team in the French league. If we had seen in any season that any team in this league was giving PSG a tough competition, then maybe we would have thought in the next season that that team could be an obstacle for PSG again, but this hasn't happened in any season, so when the season starts, we expect PSG to win the league title by a big margin this season too. As far as I can tell, PSG doesn't really care about their local league, but their main concern is the big tournaments. Until last season, PSG didn't have a UCL trophy next to their name, but after finishing last season, they were able to add a Champions League trophy next to their name. They might not be satisfied with winning this one trophy, PSG will try their best to retain the trophy next season as well.

PSG wants to sign Bournemouth defender Ilya Zabarny. I don't know if he would be a better option at this point, but the fact is that PSG needs to be stronger in defense. Last season they showed great strength in defense, but they need to improve even more.

With the way PSG and Luis Enrique were so quiet in the transfer window, I was thinking they weren't interested in bringing in new players to PSG this season. I'm happy they want to bring in new players now so they can strengthen their team and get ready to defend their UEFA Champions League trophy next season. Well, we can't really tell if Ilya Zabarny will be a good option for PSG as a defender, but since Luis Enrique has shown interest in signing him. I believe he will perform well at PSG.

It has always been like that in the French league, PSG always comes out favorite to win the title but that doesn't mean that they need not to plan ahead to win the French league no team should be underated they might face some difficulty it could be injuries and it can deprived them not to win the league preparation should be first any team should do before starting of the season. I remembered some season past where AS Monaco challenged PSG the win this pretigeous tittle this is football anything can happen so they supposed to plan ahead before the start of any season.

In the just-concluded Club World Cup tournament, Chelsea showed that PSG could be beaten, but the defeat will not have any negative impact on PSG's performance next season, and I believe PSG is still a big threat for clubs in the UEFA Champions League because there are a lot of big clubs that are still trying to strengthen their teams to be at the level of the PSG team.

[Velvet78]

Players are leaving Lyon one by one this summer. Cherki, Benrahma, Lacazette and more... But they don't have much of a choice to part ways with some players. Maybe with many even. 

They are clinging on to the Ligue 1 in the new season. However this still doesn't mean that they will be competitive for upper positions. It is the other way around. While they can't make signings, they are likely to relegate to the Ligue 2 anyway. Let's see...

Even with how to see the situation, we need to see some teams are doing good job with transfers. Think about it, we are going to get a good result what the end of that looks like. If we can do a good job, like Monaco and Marseille is doing, maybe they will have a chance to beat PSG one day.

Even if it's not this season, it could be in the future, they just need to continue down this path. If they do a fine job at transfer windows, and spend whatever money they have on decent players, then they could gradually get closer. Not that it would mean anything special, because PSG could just outspend them again and be better, but what's the point of playing these games, if not for at least attempting to win? Even if you lose, at least you tried.
