French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Raflesia]

except for if his teammates volunteerly offers that sacred number 10. he might rejected it as a supportive gesture especially for neymar,  i believe he've been offered that.
having reporterdly rejected Neymar's kind , its just like a strange shirt number but quite historic for youngster messi, ronaldinho himself wears that number 30 shirt.
damn this little thing been talked around the world.
ligue 1 must  much more watched next season, including me

Everything about Leo Messi will definitely be a hot topic of discussion including about the number that Messi will use at his club PSG but now there have been many offers but Messi has refused because he doesn't want to be selfish or interfere with other numbers that have been used, so obviously no. 30 is the number that at the beginning of Barcelona's career skyrocketed.

Regarding the sale of Messi's shirt no. 30, it also sells well because this is indeed the joy of the fans who finally messi became a PSG player officially this season.
It looks like the French league will be more tense.

French Ligue 1 will most likely belong to PSG as long as they have a lot of top players. Mbappe, Neymar and Messi are top players who will help PSG secure the title and may be a frightening specter for the opposing team. Ramos and Donnarumma are other players who are also top PSG players, they have to be able to win all the title for all the competition they participate in if they don't want to disappoint their owners.

Number 10 = Neymar
Number 19 = Sarabia
Number 30 = Messi, indeed he didn't take the shirt number of any of his teammates which is a good message for them that we are equal. That number marks his debut in Barca so it will marks also his debut with PSG and his retirement later?
BTW, Messi number 30 shirts are no more in PSG store lol!
With €25-158 for a shirt, I think PSG will cover the cost of Messi soon ~

It may be true, PSG will make huge profit by selling the jersey. People of Paris were eagerly waiting to welcome Messi at their club. Messi's arrival has created great impact on PSG Instagram account too. They have gained more than 5 million followers within last 36 hours. Currently they have 44 million followers and the number is increasing continuously. PSG is undoubtedly the hot favourite team of this season. I think Messi will play in PSG until his retirement with the jersey number 30.

Winning the title depends entirely on the coach now. Mauricio Pochettino is an experienced coach. Now his main responsibility is to build a stable team of all talented players. If there is internal strife in the team, no matter how many star players there are in the team, the result will not be good. The team is experienced, there is nothing to teach them. The coach's responsibility is to resolve internal disputes and fix match strategy.

I remember from NBA that it is quite a challenge to manage a few superstars in the same team, it brings a lot of egos clashing and it is not that easy. For example Phil Jackson in my own opinion is not the best coach ever, but he is certainly the best coach that can fire up a lot of superstars.

Greg Poppovich is the best coach ever in my opinion, he had Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili all working together like they are some role players and following what the coach says, that is the hardest thing, but at the same time his playing style was dubbed "the beautiful game" by people. Same goes for football, Messi and Neymar and Mbappe all on the same team, PSG did everything they could, Mbappe was said to be leaving the club when his contract is over, but they did something so major that I am sure even Mbappe is excited about staying here and playing, it is hard to stop egos clashing, if Poche can do that, this team could win everything they play.

There are some doubts about Pochettino's ability to cope with such superstars. There is information that Mbappe does not have the best relations with the sports director Leonardo, so the negotiations are being conducted by the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is scheduled to meet with the player in the near future, where he will try to persuade the player to stay. It is not entirely clear what Messi's arrival at PSG is. Either a factor in favor of signing a new contract, or leaving for Real Madrid. Different sources have different opinions on this issue. Paris Saint-Germain is in any case interested in signing a new contract with Mbappe, so that the player does not leave the club later as a free agent, and Mbappe himself would certainly not want a repeat of the situation with Kane, when the club is putting obstacles in the transition.

Now that it is pretty much certain that Messi will go to PSG, what team of the French league do you guys think could even get close to threaten PSG? The only thing that can stop PSG then is injuries. I can't think of anything else that might seriously threaten them to not win the title. Neymar, Mbappe and Messi is probably even stronger than Neymar, Suarez and Messi.

The deadly trio currently owned by PSG is not impossible, they will be able to easily grab the league 1 title this season, especially since PSG in the last few seasons have always had a qualified squad to compete in the French league, especially with the arrival of Lionel Messi to a club based in France. the French capital is not impossible for them to win the title this season, but we also cannot underestimate there are some dark horse teams who will keep PSG's steps to win this phenomenal season, for example like Marseille, Lyon, and also Last season's reigning champions were Lille

Now I just read a report that Mbappe isn't so happy about Messi's transfer and allegedly asked his bosses to get the permission to leave, most likely to Real Madrid. Would Mbappe really do that now that Messi arrived? I don't believe that because there is nothing Mbappe has to fear. He is still one of three super superstars and he would perfectly benefit from Messi's play style. Messi not perfectly how to bring his team mates into a perfect position, how to precisely play the ball such that Mappe could maximally benefit from his speed. Would be stupid to leave now for Real Madrid.

If Mbappe is not a fool, he will not do conflict with Messi. Mbappe is still a young player. He has a lot to learn from experienced players like Messi. It is necessary to be the best player in the future. Otherwise, he will fall behind Haaland in the future. However, I hear another rumor that if Mbappe wants to leave the club, PSG will try to get Ronaldo in the team. Will we see the best trio(Neymar-Ronaldo-Messi) in the world?

Wow, if Mbappe is allowed to leave PSG and then Ronaldo is no longer comfortable at Juventus and wants to leave the club. So the only team that might be able to bring Ronaldo from Juventus is PSG, I personally prefer such a scenario and let Mbappe go because then it is very possible that Ronaldo will play alongside Messi. This is certainly the dream of many fans I think but yes, with the player transfer system, it can happen and it doesn't. As for PSG, of course it will be the title holder this season because it won't take long for Messi to adapt and if that looks easy then we'll have to wait to see how far PSG are in the UCL. PSG have great players in almost all lines at the moment, so PSG should be able to win all the tournaments this season.

Even without messi, PSG is the ruling club in Ligue 1 and of course with the arrival of Messi will make PSG even more powerful not only in Ligue 1 but also in European competition later.
Regarding the jersey number, I agree with you if indeed messi in this case he is not is selfish and I believe that messi has some reason why he chose number 30 at PSG now, because as far as I know the number 30 is usually only given to goalkeepers other than number 1 and 16, so that causes PSG to submit an official request to the Ligue de Football Professionnel France to allow Messi to wear the number 30.

PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, they did not win the title last season. The reason was, they wanted to win the Champions League title. So they took the matches of League 1 with less importance. Moreover, some of the most important players were injured towards the end of the season. They will be able to win the Ligue 1 title this season without any problems.

They are strongest in Ligue I but in a few season, their decentralized concentration to Champions League gave other clubs like Monaco, Lille chances to take the trophy from PSG.

Lately the transfer of Messi from Barcelona, free transfer, helps the PSG fan token rallies and even breaks the past all time high. PSG fan token is a strongest fan token now.

Now it is trading about $40 but two days ago, it was traded above $58.

You are right about that PSG are the biggest team in this league. They have a great starting eleven and even Messi has joined the team now.

In the last season, they focused on the Champions League more. It's true. But we shouldn't overlook that Lille had a marvelous season also. They were doing a great job and I think they totally deserved to win the title. After PSG were eliminated from the CL, they could have still made a comeback. But Lille didn't let them.

true as you say psg is the ruler in league 1, but if you say psg will be the ruler in europe, i don't agree, even though they have strong finances, and can afford to buy great players, and expensive star players, like lionel messi, mbape, neymar, dimaria, and ramos, it can't guarantee that they will be able to lift the champions league cup..

Most of the traders took advantage of the moment of Messi's arrival to PSG and it made the interest in the PSG token increase for some time. I read news that Messi was also paid in crypto after he agreed to join PSG and maybe it could also be a good fundamental for PSG token.

By the way, will PSG be in a financial fair play case after Ramos, Donnarumma, Messi come in? I'm afraid they've spent a lot of money to buy and pay the salaries of the players. There are quite a number of highly paid players at PSG at the moment, maybe they should consider selling some so as not to be bothered by the wage rule as was the case like Barcelona.

They get all those players from free transfers but you are right about salary they pay for those star players.

PSG get advantage of UEFA changes because of pandemic. So their troubles will only come in the season of 2022 - 2023. Because UEFA allows clubs to delay their financial reports one season to fix financial troubles from the pandemic.

Lique I don't have cap salary as La Liga and PSG will not get troubles like Barcelona get with La Liga.

Apparently PSG will recover the salaries of its players soon and maybe more lol. In addition to getting most of these players for free, Ligue 1 games, especially PSG ones, will be followed by more people, PSG new jerseys are sold at record levels. So for the troubles in 2022/2023 season, no worries, they will get ride also from its excessive players/salaries.

What do you think? Can I see Messi -Neymar-Mbappe's trio? Or will Mbappe leave France and fly to Spain? So far everything is uncertain. However, Nesser Al-Khelaifi said they were not interested in releasing Mbappe right now. However, if Mbappe does not want to stay in Paris, they will bring Ronaldo from Juventus.

However, Nesser Al-Khelaifi said they were not interested in releasing Mbappe right now. However, if Mbappe does not want to stay in Paris, they will bring Ronaldo from Juventus.

With the arrival of Lionel Messi to PSG this season, I think Kylian Mbape will choose to stay at the club based in the capital Paris, indeed the PSG president has targeted 1 star to land at the club, after the arrival of Lionel Messi I think that is enough for him. Nasser Al-Khelaifi I think it is impossible to pair Messi and Ronaldo in one team, because from the start PSG said they only wanted to get one player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi has told the media that they would be interested in signing Ronaldo if Mbappe leaves PSG. But I think PSG will take Ronaldo to the team next season. Ronaldo will become a free agent next season. And PSG will get Ronaldo without spending any extra money. I look forward to seeing how Ronaldo, Neymar, and Messi will perform together.

Everyone is talking about last year’s title when trying to say how PSG may not end up winning, however everyone also forgets that PSG won like 100 titles before that, ok maybe not 100 but they were winning every year for a long time, started even before Neymar and Mbappe I believe, so it is really not a shock for them to come back and win, look at the odds for them to win it this year.

If that is Messi is not enough, they got Hakimi, Donnaruma and Wijnaldum and Ramos which is great for any club in the world, they have a bench that is as deep as some of the teams in the league, someoone said their bench is good enough to fight for a title and that is correct. Maybe they lost it last year and yes that is a shame for their finances, however as we can see they managed to beat FFP once again and they are capable of actually winning this time, not even close if they can keep mbappe in the team.
