French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Rupok]

Normally Messi-Mbappe-Neymar trio must perform really great but they haven't met the demands of the supporters surely. Mbappe himself is awesome but the other two weren't that much last season. I didn't even see Neymar playing properly last season. He must play more than this to contribute more to the team. Messi's contribution level was also not too high but I hope he will perform better next time. This is very crucial for the Champions League especially.

Neymar Messi Mbappe plays well all the time. Their performance is always at a high level. However, compared to Neymar and Messi, M Bappa is giving away good palys lately. But personally, I think Neymar is always giving away good games. Neymar's contribution to the team was all the time. Although Messi's contribution was moderate, all three are the best players.  However, their performance in the Champions League is very important. The most worrying thing about Neymar is that he is always injured.Messi and Mbappe have a lot of stung.Messi was present in 26 matches and his performance was outstanding.  However, Neymar could not play enough for PSG.  Neymar has played almost half of the season in the last league one. However, it can be very helpful for the team to win the Champions League title.

Only Mbappe who performed very optimally last season, Messi did not look good, there were many criticisms that accompanied him, Neymar actually gave a good performance but it was not enough to satisfy PSG fans. There are rumors Zidane will replace Mauricio Pochettino as coach, if that happens maybe PSG will target title the Champions League champions next season.

It's really difficult when you see a team that is so big with so many star-labeled players there and such high expectations from the fans that any good performance is considered a lack.
Messi's performance is actually quite good for the first season in adapting and his current age is actually still quite good but the expectations from the fans are too big so this is still considered lacking.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Kylian Mbappe was the best performing player for PSG last season indeed. If it wasn't for his this much amazing performance, they might have even had much more serious problems. Messi and Neymar need to support him by showing a much better level of performance next season. Otherwise, I don't think that PSG can win the Champions League title like they haven't so far. Besides they will need a better level of management also. They need a winner manager I think and Zidane comes first in this list to me now as I indicated it before.

[Minecache]

If Mbappe really instructs the coach and wants to dominate the team, then next season we will see the poor performance of PSG. A player in Mbappe, he never has the ability to interfere in any work of the coach, otherwise the performance of the team will not be stable. Stable performance from the team can never be expected if the coach cannot work independently.

Mbappe will potentially create internal conflicts. So far in his career, we don't see it in PSG. He was like a mediator when Neymar and Cavani had conflict. But it seems now he feels he is matured and becomes a big star, then he will use his power, exploit his importance in the club to get more power.

It's true that if it happens, PSG will have a very difficult season, internally.

I only see that management of PSG has put on a kid too much power, and this will crash their team in long term. Let's see what will happen but I don't see nothing of good in this choice. It is awful that a kid can decide about

management or about the tactical part.

@OcTradism, If that actually happens I think he has only himself to blame because he had a really good chance of leaving the club and playing for Real Madrid but he did not take that chance and instead he chose money. And I think it will prove to be a big mistake made by the player.

@Gianluca95, The Way that PSE used to keep him in the team is not the best or at least that's what I think. If a player wants to move I think it is best for the team to let him go and find other players that are suitable for them. But instead, they have chosen to keep the player by giving him a huge amount of money. And obviously, they have given the player a lot more power than they should have.

Since they didn't play too many minutes together, people do not remember the season clearly and just think "have I seen them do amazing jobs together?" and the answer is no, the reality is that the answer is no because they didn't play all three together all that much.

This year, if they are all healthy at the same time for majority of the season, I am sure that we will see these players become amazing together, insanely well. I get that they are much much much older right now, but I remember neymar-suarez-messi trio and how unbelievable they were, like surreal levels of greatness, and I believe Mbappe is way better than suarez, so the potential is there.

[minairia3]

What failed messi at PSG was not age, it's probably because PSG's style of play is not adapting to Messi's style of play at barcelona, and it's a matter of messi having to get used to the way PSG plays. just look at that it's not just messi, neymar hasn't played well at PSG either but when he plays for brazil he plays better, maybe the PSG coach didn't know how to better fit these players, we'll see their performance with another coach in the future

I admit that the strategy of the coach will probably have a big impact on the performance of the players and so far I don't think Pochettino has managed to bring out the full potential of his players. Especially about Messi, he has just started his career with another team and he needs to adapt. Not all players who move to another team after a long time in one team can adapt quickly to another team in their first season. Messi has had to adjust to his new team-mates and I think his presence at PSG might not make all PSG players accept him well.

PSG just need a coach who can help star players bring out their best and make the dressing room livelier. I don't see that from Pochettino so it might prompt PSG to want a replacement. I heard Zidane was linked with PSG, but if it's true then his presence at PSG will be good for the performance of the team and the players.

I actually agree that the style that PSG has does not suit Messi at all. He is a player who is used to Tiki-taka football and PSG is a team when they have the ball in the final third they hardly want to pass the ball.

So, that is obviously not going to suit a player who has been playing differently from the start of his football career. Messi will be able to play better next season. I believe he will be ready and he will also be a lot more adaptive to the situation.

They need to have a winning mentality. And also develop good cooperation. Nevertheless, Kylian Mbappe displayed an impressive performance last season, he scored 28 goals in Ligue 1, while he scored 6 goals in the Champion League. Pochettino didn't perform his work very well, because we expected him to lead the club into winning their first Champions League trophy last season. Zidane will probably be a good replacement. And hopefully he brings home the Champions League title next season.

Zidane is an extraordinary coach, he looks calm in every matches (when he was coach of Madrid). besides that he has also won the UCL, so he is the only competent coach to become a PSG coach to replace Pochettino. I'm sure PSG will be much more compact and solid under his control.

Yeah PSG performance last season wasn't good enough as we expected of them, bringing in Messi to the club was a good one, but they never play as we all expected. PSG recent squad have what it takes to win the champions league, but I think one of there serious problems is mismanagement, the team is lacking control, pochettino is not doing his job well as a coach. I think the team need a quality coach, that have a winning mentality, a coach that can manage and control the affairs of the club, I think they need a coach like zinedine zidane, he is a well respected coach due to his influence in football history. A coach like zidane will control the team, cautions the players when they did something wrong despite who you are. I think he is the best man for the job.

[W Jr.]

As I said before, maybe the problem is with the coach who doesn't know how to frame messi and neymar, about zidane I read that he denied being a PSG coach and I think he won't go back on that decision, PSG better give it up. zidane is a good coach and any good coach will not accept to coach PSG because Mbape will give orders to coaches and that is humbling

If Mbappe really instructs the coach and wants to dominate the team, then next season we will see the poor performance of PSG. A player in Mbappe, he never has the ability to interfere in any work of the coach, otherwise the performance of the team will not be stable. Stable performance from the team can never be expected if the coach cannot work independently.

If Zidane takes over Paris SG as head coach, Mbappe's wishes will be ruled out. I never think that a name like Zidane will take instructions from a football player. He will want to see his own tactics on the field. If necessary, he can send Mbappe to the bench, after all, Zidane will be the boss. It is very wrong for a player to lead the team. I hope Paris SG doesn't let that happen.

Monaco and Marseille were the teams that I liked very much right after PSG. Especially Monaco seemed much stronger in the final moments of the season as they had a lasting winning streak like nine games or so. They were even winning against Lens too but they were devastated by a last minute goal which caused them to lose the second position to Marseille. However I appreciate them both and I'm hopeful about them for next season too. Maybe these two wouldn't be able to make difficulties for PSG but they can have this fight again.

besides Monaco and Marseille, nice is also a good team. I still remember how NICE beat PSG even though PSG was in full strength (Neymar, Messi, and mbappe). because of that, there are also rumors that the PSG owner really appreciates the NICE coach. PSG coach hasn't been announced yet, I'm curious what will happen to PSG under the leadership of a new coach next season.

I also think that Zinedine Zidane would be able to cope with managing such a specific team as Paris Saint-Germain like no one else and the same Mbappe would not be able to put his wishes above the team ones. Another question is that the appointment of Zidane to the post of head coach of the team, which until recently seemed to be almost a settled issue, suddenly hung in the air. Now the most likely candidate for the appointment of the head coach of the team is Christophe Galtier, who is now the head coach of Nice. Another question is that Mbappe objects to this candidacy, and it seems that the player was even given the right to vote on this issue when extending the contract.

I agree that Monaco are a team from Ligue 1 whose form has been quite impressive this season, unfortunately they failed to reach second place,
even though looking at their performance, I think they deserve to be in second place compared to Marseille. Unfortunately in the last game against
Lens, they lost concentration in the last minute. So that Monaco conceded in the 96th minute, this may be a lesson for Monaco to always be vigilant
before the game actually ends. I believe that for next season Monaco will be a team that can make it difficult for PSG, especially this year Monaco
has just appointed a new coach.

Philipe Clement officially becomes Monaco's main coach in 2022, and few may know him, but he is quite famous in Belgium. Clement managed to
win 3 Belgian League trophies when he was the coach of Genk and Club Brugge,  this achievement which finally attracted the interest of
the Monaco management, and signed Philipe Clement as Monaco's main coach until 2024. Clement immediately proved he was a great coach,
which before the match against Lens which ended in a draw, Clement managed to make Monaco win 9 consecutive wins in Ligue 1, including
successfully defeating PSG with a fairly large score. So I believe Philipe Clement can make Monaco a team that can make things difficult
for PSG next season.

If so, then Mbappe's position has already become indecently significant. Maybe he has the audacity to continue to use his privileges without suffering and worsening sports results, but I think this state of affairs will put a lot of pressure on other players. And I don't know how stupid (or greedy haha) Zidane has to be to go to PSG where it's such an unhealthy situation.

He may be given the right to vote but the decision rests with the club's top brass. Mbappe could have suggested whatever he wanted to the club's top brass if it was really for the good of the team, but giving the right to decide on difficult matters like nominations for coaches makes no sense. He might only get the right to suggest based on his opinion, nothing more.

Zidane would suit PSG in my opinion, I don't think the situation is bad for him now and for the next few seasons.

PSG and Pochettino are rumored to have agreed to end their partnership and PSG will soon issue an official statement in the next few days, if Pochettino really leaves of course Zidane is a strong candidate to replace PSG coach, right now mbappe does have a big influence on club decisions, but I think it will be difficult for mbappe to manage zidane in terms of coaching, because after all, zidane experience and authority while coaching Madrid will certainly make zidane more respected by mbappe, besides that it is reported that mbappe himself asked if PSG recruited zidane as coach next season, I think even though mbappe has a strong influence at PSG but I believe that zidane has anticipated this if later he will coach PSG.

[S A KHAIR]

Zidane would suit PSG in my opinion, I don't think the situation is bad for him now and for the next few seasons.

PSG will dream of winning the Champions League again if they get a coach like Zidane. PSG has a lot of talented star players. But they do not have an experienced coach. As a result, their performance in the Champions League last season was poor. Zidane is suitable for PSG. But just for the money, Zidane will not take charge of any club where he has to follow Mbappe's direction.

relegation to the 2nd league was already a bitter blow for the traditional club girondins bordeaux, and now it's getting even worse for the club
as it became known today, girondis (due to the high debts) must even be relegated to the 3 division.

The television station RMC reported that the former Ligue 1 club has an estimated debt of €40 million. According to various French media reports, Girondins can appeal the decision within one week—and that is the expected outcome. The club announced on Tuesday that they will appeal the "brutal" decision made against the club.
