French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[rby]

Today I read criticism of Neymar in the news (it seems from one of the former players, I don’t remember exactly) - he says that Neymar is very tired of PSG and football, he often appears at training slightly drunk (lol). I wonder if this is "preparing the ground" in order to sell Neymar, or a simple statement of the terrible state of affairs at the club?

Neymar will miss half of the season due to injury. PSG provide high wages to Neymar. If a player like Neymar is not with the squad before the crucial match, then the opponent's morale becomes stronger. It is very risky to have such an injured player in the team. So I think PSG's decision to sell Neymar is the right one.

Neymar is an injury player and what gives him injuries is the kind of football he plays. He moves along with the opponents, he will always want to be a king in the opposition half. That is his kind of Samba football. But he is full of energy and will power. Very skillful and precised.
Neymar looks tired of psg and not tired of football. Neymar cannot do without soccer in this life. Psg as a team always has problems in Champions league because of the teams they play. When they player their weak teams in France, and will by high goals, it will look like they played very very well. When they use same energy and come to Champions League, they will be eliminated.

Neymar has discovered that and I think it will be fine if he will try his luck somewhere else. Although Mbappe is almost certain that he will go to Madrid. If it happens and Neymar leaves the club too, can only old Messi carry the club?

It looks like Neymar is having a hard time finding his best game at PSG, because since Neymar was brought in by PSG from Barcelona.
Neymar's contribution to PSG is not much, even Neymar is more often injured. Neymar has been with PSG for about 4 years and Neymar can't
help PSG win the Champions League trophy. It seems like a good decision for PSG and Neymar, if Neymar moves to another team.
Because in my opinion PSG have given a very large salary for Neymar, but the contribution given by Neymar is not commensurate with
the salary he receives.

After all, Neymar's career will get worse in my opinion if he forces himself to stay at PSG. Even a senior French journalist named Daniel Riolo
mentioned Neymar as the cause of the poor results obtained by PSG in recent matches, Neymar is considered not to have a positive impact on PSG.
Riolo also said Neymar was often lazy even though he came to the training ground, and sometimes come half drunk, that's a very sad reality.
Riolo also firmly advised Neymar to leave PSG, so as not to have any more negative impact on the club.

When a player is not doing well, it's either he is tired of the team or something else is wrong with him that he doesn't want other players to find out but in the case of  Neymar, i don't think he is tired of PSG all i can say now is that Neymar should try and work on his playing attitude, he can still give psg champions league trophy next season. He should keep working and never give up so that he will still be in good form. I believe that he is still sad because of PSG exit in champions league

[mrongoz_imut]

criticism for all PSG player exactly with Neymar after failure on champion league and defeated by Real Madrid on 2nd leg make all PSG fans not happy actually with PSG Ultras fans ask crazy thing to Nasser Al-Khelaifi out from PSG. Looks realistic with how many time failure face by PSG on champion league and make fans looks not happy with PSG achievement on champion league although still have big chance as the champion on domestic league, but still not enough what achievement from PSG in this season and make all PSG fans want to get many trophies again.

Neymar's behavior recently is awkward. PSG needs to stand their ground and discipline or sanction him. His behavior proof that all is not well, with his mannerless Attitude, he should be given some time to rest, Pochettino should not involved him in games for a while. PSG have failed to lift the Champions league title this season after been knock-out with a massive come-back from Real Madrid. PSG booed Messi and they blamed Him and Pochettino for their lost, therefore making the player to lose confidence in himself and dedication to the team he sign for, same thing is happening to Neymar, although they have safely secure their top 1 spot on the table, which they don't seem satisfied. The only trophy they wanted all over the years was the Champions league trophy, which is becoming a nightmare for them.

Neymar should be given mroe rest time? Seriously? Neymar has played in only 15 of Ligue 1's out of 29 matches this season. Neymar also failed to perform in the Champions League, the Coupe de France, the Super Cup. Does he need more rest? Do not forget that PSG management gave Neymar a high wages. So their expectations from Neymar are much higher. But in the last few seasons, Neymar has not performed as expected. The young Mbappe is now playing much better than Neymar.

I agree with you somewhat. Neymar suffers from a lot of injuries. This is why he has lost interest in the Brazilian squad. He may retire from the national team after the next World Cup. He did not really meet the expectations of the PSG club. Yet I would say there are very few talented players like him. He is an extraordinary player. He has not yet reached the Messi-Ronaldo's level due to poor fitness.

[laurenB7742]

Neymar injury has made him miss a lot this season and I think it is very natural that many people are disappointed in Neymar right now, but it is unethical for them to conclude that Neymar is the cause of PSG current decline, especially in the Champions League, I think Neymar has given everything and doing his best for PSG so far, but as a footballer of course he will experience a decline in performance due to injury and also the age factor so I think it's normal if Neymar doesn't play like when he was first recruited by PSG, the defeat of a team must absolutely be borne all players and not the other way around must pass the blame on the individual.

Neymar is certainly not the main reason for the fall of PSG. In addition to Neymar, PSG had a lot of star players. But has anyone been able to play well? I would say the main reason for the fall of PSG is their poor match strategy. I blame Mauricio Pochettino. PSG's match strategy is not good. The match strategy of many weak squads is better than that of PSG. Also the understanding between the players of PSG is not good. The coach should have helped to build a friendly relationship between the players. PSG's condition is so bad now because of the coach's inexperience.

with the many star players that PSG have, of course the fans are disappointed with the results they get on the UCL stage because their target this season is to win the UCL, especially the fans' disappointment with Messi who can't contribute more to PSG.
Regarding the domestic league, of course they will win it this season because of the difference in points with a distant rivalry and also the remaining matches of the season which only leaves a little.

For the Ligue 1 there is not much anymore left to talk about for this season I think as PSG is on another planet compared to the other teams that are participating here and that is because they have the best players in the world in their team.However that was not enough at all to further go ahead in Champions League,the missed penalty from Messi in the last battle against Real Madrid gets another weight in my opinion and things could have gone different if he would have score that.

[Turbolinea]

PSG are going to reach the championship in the Ligue 1 maybe. But this won't be satisfying enough for them surely too. Because they are already the king of this league now so it is no big deal for them. Their main goal was to win the Champions League this year but here we are. They were eliminated by Real Madrid in a really bad way. They couldn't even secure a big score advantage like 2-0 on aggregate. They must have made it to the title while they were having a this much quality lineup. So I think this is an unsuccessful season for them.

Even though they have star-studded players and have large funds, PSG cannot compete in the champions league, the proof is that even though Real Madrid only has modest players, they were able to destroy PSG in the second leg of the champions league, plus in the domestic league, PSG was beaten by Monaco. with a score of 3-0, according to my observation PSG no longer have cohesiveness in the team, the relationship between players is no longer in sync, maybe for that reason they can't win the game, even though in the domestic league they can lift the trophy, but in the champions league they are the same have never been feared by their opponents.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Monco vs PSG match Monaco win by 3-0 goal Against PSG. Both team are strong in Leaugue 1. Today's match PSG fans are very disappointed PSG performance. PSG played really poor football but Monaco was outstanding today.PSG didn’t score any single goal. Neymar is out of form now and Mbappe didn’t score.I hope PSG will come back strongly in winning site their next match.

For a second before this match started, i thought PSG had the fire power to win this match, but then i remembered how bad these guys are with carrying out their defensive duties and on top of that they were playing away from home, certainly wasnt their day...
These guys really need to work on their defense if they want to conquer bigger competitions like the champions league and others, they are too comfortable for ligue 1.

I've said this lots of times before, PSG defense is crap. As much as we can blame PSG strikers, we must also consider their defence that has costed them out of UCL and lost to Monaco, their defence is struggling. Kimpempe and Marquinhos communication with their Goalkeeper is poor to be honest. I think the defence needs reshuffle. PSG need to fix their defence, they got great forwards, Midfielders and goalies, but the defence is total crap, in literally every game, if it wasn't for Donnarumma and Keylor Navas doing miracles all the time, they would lose every game. Although they had more possession, completed more passes and had an equal number of shots in the match but couldn't find a way past Monaco.

I think is not with mistake from goalkeeper only but most depending how communication between two central defender Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos, I see both central defender player from PSG always make many time blunder actually when I watched match against with Real Madrid on 2nd leg champion league, I saw many time back pass to goalkeeper with bad situation and they have loss controlling without see how many Real Madrid player PSG defensive area, not only on champion league but also many time on domestic league PSG have loss many goal and last match 3 goals loss become bad result.

On the other hand they are also too focused in their attack but forget their own defense area. I don't think it's a good thing to keep blaming just one player in a match because when we talk about the game, it's all shared, not individually, even though they have their own duties on the field, but still their focus on defending must also be on the ground. fix it and that's the job of the defenders and their midfielders in midfield but they forget that because they're too busy attacking

Great, it's a perfect winning streak if I look at the last five matches and only Rennes has that record at the moment. In the next match Rennes will play against Nice and also, before the end of the season in mid-May Rennes will play against Marseille who are both competitors currently in the standings. Even in their first match of the season Rennes lost by Nice and also Marseille, but with his current performance that looks good I'm still curious if in the next match Rennes still has the same morale against Nice. Because only by winning the match at least the position will be safer, before finally against Marseille which might be the decider for their final position in the season.

Marseille beat Nice, and next week Rennes will play against Nice. I think Nice is a team that can lose points right now. Rennes is doing very well and must be victorious in this match, he must never make a mistake to beat his rival Marseille.
The team that will win this match will have a great advantage, there is no point difference between the opponents

Neymar is no longer young (for a long time  ), no doubt he will play for many years to come and will not fall below a certain level. But it seems that his peak sports career is behind him. Brazilian players are notorious for their instability and poor discipline, which is exactly what a player needs to be able to improve (or at least not play worse) after 30 years. If the news about his behavior is true then he will not be a good buy for any club.

Their defense is surely the biggest problem in this season because mostly they have problems in very crucial games even with some best players in globe available here, but they have attack and defence both in trouble now after back to back few defeats against Real Madrid and Monaco things are appearing very quickly which needs some good and better settlement.

Now, once again they have early exited from Champions League so many rumors around here about this club most chances we will have some big changes here like new manager few other players are also in talk about leaving and few are coming so most chances with arrival of new manager we will have some good and positive change in this club which will help them in next season for having their desired result.

I think that Marseille have obtained a huge advantage for the second spot in the league standings after defeating Nice by 2-1 in a home game. Because as far as I can see, there is a Nice vs Rennes game on the horizon. They are going to face each other next week and continue to fight for the second position. And Marseille are going to face one of the weakest teams of this season which are St Etienne. If they win and the Nice vs Rennes game ends in a draw, they are going to have a bigger gap with them. As I said before, I see Marseille as the favourite for this spot at the end of the season.

The many star players at PSG can't guarantee they can win the champions league very easily, even though they are quite great in the league but they are not able to compete in European competitions, I think apart from the incompatibilities between the players, the lack of experience of the coach in European competitions I think will be one of the causes of PSG failure in the champions league, in my opinion, with so many star players, of course PSG also needs a really experienced coach, so that they are able to build cohesiveness and also chemistry between fellow PSG players.
