French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[hd49728]

I was also surprised by Mbappé's decision, that is, saying No to Real Madrid, really the sheikh should have offered him the fortune of his life, I think if he is capable of retaining Mbappé, then he is capable of retaining Messi and Neymar, as far as these players are concerned, they will be very popular after the world cup in Qatar, because they represent the best nations in the world of football, it would only be great if they had the Germans and the English, it is the perfect combination, because it would be the most comprehensive team of all, and in the French league it is the most complete.

Messi is in the end of career and his low performance since his participation in PSG shows that his time at top level will not be too long from now. Neymar is younger than Messi but he has issues with traditional Brazilian players, he is not too professional to take care of his fitness and his health.

So far Neymar has a longer career than Adriano but we can not say Neymar has reached to his best and probably he will never reach to his best. After 30s, there are very few players who can play better than themselves in under 30s.

It was really like PSG were already ready to spent even all the money they had just to keep Mbappe at the team for a few more years at least.    I'm not sure whether this was a good choice for PSG to spend unbelievable amount of money for him. This might make them get stuck in a difficult position to bring new players to the team for next season too. I mean the financial fair play rules etc.. If they don't have a serious problem with that, then good for them! Mbappe is the most crucial player for them in the end and I can't even imagine what they would do in case they lose him this earlier.

They successfully convinced Mbappe to sign a new contract with them but it is not a too long contract, just 3 years and what Mbapped said after the contract renew shows that he still opens his future with Real Madrid. He does not want to make Real Madrid and Florentino Perez feel disappointed about his decision to stay in PSG.

@hd49728 this decision will haunt PSG in the long run, because each new transfer will demand a huge amount to sign up with them, and they have foolishly laid down the concept that at PSG the player is bigger than the club. Also Real Madrid may never sign him now, because their star liked a tweet criticising him and that shows badly they’re hurt by his decision not to join them.

Something that is a concern is what if PSG's performance does not change much next season and is only strong in the domestic league, because disappointment will always come later when their expectations are too high. Creating a solid squad will never be easy, especially in this era every player has a luxurious lifestyle that allows jealousy to arise in the team. Therefore, I personally still don't believe the decision to keep Mbappe is the right choice, because PSG's main problem is about the coach and not with the players. But if the case becomes like this that gives Mbappe the privilege, then maybe the problem that will arise later is not only with the coach but with the players as well.

Mbappe is a professional athlete. Do not mix the personal life of the players and the performance on the field. Every star player leads a luxurious lifestyle. I think the decision to keep Mbappe is right. Because he is still a young player. And he is able to perform well almost the entire season.

However, the main problem of PSG is their coach. Without experienced coaches, no matter how talented the players are, the team will not benefit. If the coach is not experienced, it is impossible to improve the team performance without a good match strategy.

Living a luxurious life is a lifestyle that cannot be separated from today football players, but I think it is natural for them to enjoy life in luxury after all the hard work they have done so far, we can't make mbbape private life a luxury the reason for social jealousy  because all players must have different lifestyles, in this case I think personal life should not be associated with professionalism in work, and indeed should PSG cannot give mbappe privileges over other players, because after all in their work they work as a team so far, but actually the privileges that mbappe gets from PSG now will actually make mbappe have a bigger burden to be able to meet the expectations that the club expects of him.

The decision of keeping mbappe is obviously right, but the decision is right for PSG. I think they have kept the player for two reasons.

One is they wanted to not let the player go for nothing when he was worth €200 million just the season before that.

And another thing is it can be a hard job to find a replacement for him. I really don't know if the performance is going to improve for PSG in the next season but if it doesn't, they will be left scratching their head.

I think they made a gold choice keeping him he is the most influencial player on the team next to messi and neymar he is psg top scorer this season not to mention he scored many goals this season i dont thinl the team need new players they have so many top level ones so i think they will be okay they just need a good coach with a solid strategy.

Staying at PSG was good for him, but he was judged as a player who was inconsistent with what he had told the media to join Real Madrid. Mabppe disappointed Real Madrid officials and supporters. PSG did not bring in any new players due to financial problems.

Keeping Mbappe is obviously the right decision for the club. But, the failure to appoint the perfect coach definitely left PSG scratching their heads as they are looking to replace their coach Mauricio Pochettino. I must admit that if the club manages to lure Mourinho there, it could actually work out well for them.

This would be the best thing that has ever happened to them! Even though there is no guarantee that he will succeed, at least respect the great.

True and we saw his professional even when he really wanted to leave PSG. He still contributed his best, totally focused for PSG until the expiration of his contract. He is different and more professional than Pogba who wanted to join Real Madrid too but Pogba never have full focus for Manchester United.

However, the main problem of PSG is their coach. Without experienced coaches, no matter how talented the players are, the team will not benefit. If the coach is not experienced, it is impossible to improve the team performance without a good match strategy.

Not only problem with their coach, Pochettino but also their players too. They have good players, some are star and super star players but in important matches, within decisive periods that will decide winner or loser, they lost their confidence, concentration and advantage they have too easily. They need another coach and another captain who is stronger mentally than Marquinhos. A new captain you can motivate his team mates like Roy Kean or Patrick Viera.

The problem with Paris saint Germans is that, they have high profiled player's, who deserves too be managed by a high profile manager.
That alone gives him respect, imagine the board giving Mbappe the power to decide on who comes and leaves the team, that's bullshit.
As a player, he should be focused on he's mental health and scoring goals for the fans and club. Lack of managing these players we're some of the challenges. Thomas Tuchel faced at PSG before leaving, Jose Mourinho or Zidane or Pep Guardiola would bring down there wing's and ego.

Pochetino is not tactically sound, he fails to perform in big game's have seen it several times in the premier league games.

I absolutely agree. When there are a lot of great players and also some very talented players in a team they often don't agree with the coach and also don't think the strategy of the coach is the best.

That can cause some serious problems which will eventually reflect on the result of the team and that is exactly what happened in the case of PSG. They obviously deserve a great coach like Zidane, Who will be able to impose authority on the players. Otherwise, the players will always think that they probably could have managed the team better themselves.

You are right. We have often heard rumors that Mbappe will not be staying at PSG. He will join Real Madrid at the end of the season. Yet Mbappe continues to try to play well in every match. On the other hand, Pogba's performance was not as expected in the Manchester United team and the team and fans expect a better performance from him. But he did not try to adapt to the United team.

Not only problem with their coach, Pochettino but also their players too. They have good players, some are star and super star players but in important matches, within decisive periods that will decide winner or loser, they lost their confidence, concentration and advantage they have too easily.

The PSG team lacks leadership. They need talented and experienced captains now. But before that, they need an experienced coach. Don't forget the match strategy is decided by the coach, not the captain. If the match strategy is not good, it is not possible to win against a strong team. Real Madrid has won the Champions League only because of their good match strategy.

mbappe is still a young boy but has been given the power to determine who is a worthy player and not playing at PSG!! the problem that occurs at PSG is a matter of cohesiveness, pochetino is not an extraordinary coach but his experience is far more than mbappe.

If mbappe continues to be given the mandate to choose which players deserve or don't play at PSG, PSG will be destroyed in the hands of mbappe.

[terrorJR]

This is a problem they have to deal with now because regardless of what I feel that Poche is not really suitable to ride a team as big as PSG in this regard so it is quite natural for him to be in the spotlight because the tactics that are carried out are still less attractive.
No matter how good they are, they will only be considered from the success of their big players and when they fail, it is certain that Poche is the victim.

It is true that they paid too much for Mbappe so that he would stay, the upfront money of 120 million euro from what I saw is the biggest problem, paying 60 million a year may not be amazing or too much, that is onpar with most high name players to be fair, Messi made like 70 million a year when he was in Barcelona and makes like 40 million a year in PSG as well, sure he is a household name and he would bring in a lot of money but so would Mbappe as well, the best French player being in best French club of the capital of the France suddenly makes sense why they would pay him 60 million.

Just the signing bonus makes no sense. Plus they already bought Nuno Mendes for 40 million, so not like they make zero other transfers, he was loaned to them, and now they bought him too so they spent some more money.

PSG are one of the candidates to sign Paul Pogba now. Actually PSG have a very solid midfield already but they just want to have an even better squad every season. As they haven't achieved the Champions League title yet, they would be ready to sign this kind of players to increase their chance to make it. Pogba is an amazing midfielder and I think that every team would like to see him in their squad. PSG have big competitors in this race of course but they would be ready to meet all of his demands.

Pogba was linked to Juve > PSG >>> Real Madrid. In fact RM doesn't seem to be very attracted to the offer and PSG chances are lower than Juventus.
Mbappe already signed PSG and Tchouameni is linked to PSG > Real Madrid.
I can't imagine Real Madrid reaction if they found out that PSG took from them all these 3 players They already went crazy after the signing of Mbappe.

I don't think pogba is going to go to Real Madrid. Obviously, they have a better choice than him. PSG also does not seem to be most interested in pogba. Juventus is the most interested in pogba. I don't think Real Madrid cares too much about any team taking their players because they are very rich right now and they also have a pretty solid team right now.

I don't think PSG need a new midfielder at this time because they have a lot of talented central midfielders, indeed Pogba can be said to be one of the best midfielders in the world even though we don't see this happen during his time at Manchester United, but his toughness and brilliance in balancing the midfield Juventus at that time and also the French national team really made a lot of clubs interested in him, but as far as I know now Paul Pogba is only one step away with Jiventus and it is difficult for PSG to break the deal because Pogba and Juventus have a high emotional bond, in my opinion, PSG's problem actually not in midfield but their defense is quite fragile and often loses focus when the opposing team starts to press.
