French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Lordhermes]

Galtier is really going to become the new PSG manager then huh. PSG don't seem to be likely to find another manager than Galtier for now I'm afraid. It is really difficult to make a prediction about Galtier's future at PSG. Winning the Ligue 1 title with Lille while there is a team like PSG in the same league is a big success of course. But he hasn't been one of the most successful managers too. This is a big question mark about him and I hope he is a right choice for the team.

I actually thought PSG were going for Zidane,a manager that everybody knows he is good at his job,he would have been the perfect man to take PSG to the next level,now they have chosen another coach,just because he made Lille the champions.To me,that coach will not be able to manage big players like Messi,Mbape or Neymar,he might be able to do well in a team like Lille,but a team like PSG,where high profile players are much,might be difficult for him to manage.

It has been discussion before that actually PSG want Zidane but seems he still not interested to train this team even on press conference he said the time is not right for him to accept PSG offers and besides that reason the rumours is Zidane have personal ambition want to be the next manager of France national team and after this news then Christophe Galtier appears as the new name of PSG manager and i think he have hard task because PSG want champion league title but for European competitions he had lack of experience moreover PSG internal situations also not really good especially after Neymar rumours

Bayern Munich decision not to extend Tolisso contract is the right thing in my opinion, because Tolisso has often been injured so he has not been able to make a big contribution to Bayern Munich, I don't know the reason for OL decision to sign him again, because even though he is still young but his performance so far every season has continued to decline, especially since Corentin Tolisso injury history will be  hampered his later performance with OL.

Maybe they think they will be able to sell Tolisso again in the future, as they did when they sold Tolisso to Bayern Munich. And actually, Tolisso's age is still relatively young for a footballer. If he shines again while playing with Lyon, it is not impossible that Lyon will get profit again when there are clubs who want to buy him . In addition, Lyon also got Tolisso for free.

Most ins and outs these season is mainly to gain full fitness and prepare for the world Cup. Tollisio had won it all at Bayern Munich.
He lacks game time, I don't expect him to continue further, move was what's expected,glad he did. He has already been announced by the club as a new player.

Lyon will only lose if Tolisso is unavailable throughout the season, but if he gets the time and space then Lyon have nothing to lose signing him. Last season Tolisso did not get enough playing time at Bayern Munich and he only appeared 15 times with 2 goals. Maybe not a bad result for a midfielder like him because it's actually a statistic worth considering.

To be honest I don't know this player very well, but after looking at his stats, I can say that he is a midfielder who might be useful for Lyon. Regarding adaptation, I probably won't say much because Tolisso is a former midfielder who had a career at Lyon before. So he should be fine there.

[KTChampions]

I think the main reason is that he did not give the result that was expected from him. Any other club would keep Neymar as he is still good and doesn't fall below a certain level, but PSG will go over different players until they hit the target and the money is not important to PSG. The only thing that surprises me is that they are trying to get rid of Neymar before Messi. Neymar is much more useful than Messi and he is much younger than him.

Neymar is not a bad player but he does not reach to his best. Even his stats in PSG last few seasons is very good, he still does not meet demand from PSG boss and even does not reach what he wanted when he decided to leave Barcelona.

He left Barcelona in order to get out of Messi domination but in PSG, now he is no longer a biggest star there. It belongs to Mbappe. It is a failure for Neymar from personal to club level.

Neymar's problems are Neymar's problems. I do not understand the strategy of PSG who want to get rid of him before Messi - in my opinion they have already received all the profits (PR, shirt sales, etc.) from the transfer of Messi and then he will only pull the team to the bottom. If they want to start updating the team, then they definitely shouldn’t start with Neymar.

Messi has yet to adapt to the PSG team. Because the previous season the PSG team had various internal problems. Their match strategy was weak. The mutual understanding between the players was not good. Hopefully Messi will play better with PSG next season. Neymar, on the other hand, is completely different. Neymar has been with PSG for several years. And every season he has been badly injured. So he could not stay with the squad for half the season. This may be the reason why PSG management does not want to keep Neymar in the team.

Maybe what you said could be a reason for OL to re-sign him, because in the past Bayern Munich recruited Tolisso indeed because of his pretty good performances with OL and made Bayern munchen dare to pay a lot at that time, but I think bayern munchen is not Chelsea who really has a passion to buy back the players they have sold before, moreover, they have labeled the player a failure  , in my opinion even though Tolisso is still young but his injury history makes it difficult for him to find his best form at this time, and maybe next season he will only spend as much time on the treatment table as when he was with Bayern Munich, to be honest, I doubt that Tolisso will be able to make a lot of significant contributions on later OL performance.

It's true that this is rationally not logical enough now but the problem for now is that Al-Khelaifi doesn't seem to be expecting Neymar now and this is what makes the indications he will leave are getting bigger.
Regardless of the losses or gains this doesn't seem to have much effect on Al-Khelaifi. PSG's attitude towards Neymar is now indifferent and this will obviously make the player uncomfortable.

The problem is with Neymar that he is injured o most 80% of the season always and they dont play with the same team always. On the other hand Messi had the worst season in his career and needs to change this as fast as possible. Neymar needs to leave the club and go somewhere where he will play

[LUCKMCFLY]

It seems that what we have hoped for so far will not come true, many of us hope that PSG will make zidane a coach to face next season but it seems that zidane prefers to remain unemployed and wait for the call to be coach from the french national team rather than join PSG this season, conjecture of who the PSG coach seems to be is starting to emerge and Galtier is one of the strong candidates to replace Pochettino who reportedly has agreed to end his partnership with PSG, but the question now is: whether Galtier is indeed worthy to coach a team as big as PSG?

All clubs have their back plan as well things was settled for Zidane but after reading contract between PSG and Mbappé he drops this idea and now waiting for his next job as France's national team manager because he is very stick about discipline and PSG is not following things about Mbappé which was not good enough for him, so he rejects this.

And now Christophe Galtier is going to have this new job as he is also very talented person, even this is big challenge for him because in presence of too many star players managing team like PSG is never been easy
Now recently we have another rumor that Juventus is interested in Neymar if this happens then surely it's going to be good for PSG and new manager they can offload a player who is mostly injured and have not good role in this team after having good deal with Mbappé and Messi is also available for another season.

Well, I'm not surprised about Zidane, Zidane is a real man for me, it's that I say something that was the same as Florentino Pérez said: "No player is above the club", and it's the truth, no matter how good a player he is player cannot be above the interests of the team, he always has to keep his position, Mbappé has been one of the players who has brought the most problems to PSG, on the other hand, seeing that there is nothing good for Neymar Jr, it is better that he leaves , and Italian football is a very good option for Neymar, Neymar cannot be under the shadow of one Mbappé or another, he must somehow lead, and at PSG it is obvious that their leader is Mbappé.

I think the main reason is that he did not give the result that was expected from him. Any other club would keep Neymar as he is still good and doesn't fall below a certain level, but PSG will go over different players until they hit the target and the money is not important to PSG.

If that is why his performance has not been the best, although when he was with Mesi and Mbappé he could have done more, even in the controversial play of the free kick when they left Messi down and Neymar Jr stopped at the barrier, everyone criticized Neymar, For me, Neymar still hasn't tried anything at PSG, he's preparing more than anything for the World Cup.

I think neither should go. Both Messi and Neymar could provide so much for the team, they are great players and I understand that both could miss out some games and that is a problem for them, they would rather see them play each match. But even like this, they are making as much profit as possible with the jersey sales, and they are great team.

With holding onto Mbappe by paying that much, but then go ahead and get a terrible manager and selling Neymar? That's going to be something terrible for them and their future. It's like getting the prime years of Mbappe and for absolutely nothing, just so he could rot there and not do anything and not win anything other than ligue 1, makes no sense.

PSG should give them one more season and these players should stay in Paris one more season. They had one full season to build up their connections and in their second position together, they might play better and can bring PSG to bit titles like Champions League.

Neymar must avoid injury then he can contribute more for PSG. Especially after party time like Christmas and New Year holidays. Avoid injury first, maintain good fitness, avoid overweight after holidays.

Messi will have his last season in current contract with PSG and he will not want to complete it in Paris as a failed transfer. Moreover, PSG has enough resource to win Champions League but they need a more solid performance of players, in important matches, decisive moments and an experienced, winning coach in Champions League.

PSG's main target is Zidane as a replacement for Pochettino, but if they fail to bring in Zidane, PSG should look for a coach whose quality
and experience is not much different from Zidane's. But this surprisingly PSG management appointed Christophe Galtier who will be PSG's
main coach replacing Pochettino. I don't know the reason why PSG management was so sure of choosing Galtier, even though so far Galtier's
best achievement has only managed to bring Lille to win Ligue 1 in the 2020/2021 season. Whereas PSG's main target is to win the Champions
League trophy, while Galtier does not have any achievements in the Champions League competition. I saw PSG management gambled
on Galtier as PSG's main coach. PSG with strong finances should be able to bring in a much better coach than Galtier.

He has never been fully accepted in the team. In 71 games, he scored only 11 goals and make 7 assists for goals. His injuries have made more difficult. 5 years in Germany and now it's back to his old team Olympique Lyon. He is even a national player and was 2018 Worldchampion 5x German Champion and 1x Champions League Winner, so money they will make with him, he is only 27 years young.

It's true as you said if he is 27 years old and I think he has 3 years left for him to show his best performance in football, because I think if a football player is over the age of 30 it will be difficult to develop well later, especially during this time we know that tolisso is a player who often suffers serious injuries so I think if OL can't expect too much from him, his failure at bayern munchen is not because he is a bad player but his frequent injuries make him fail to develop and OL should pay attention to that before returning bring it home even though for free.

Neymar got an offer from Newcastle United, even Joelinton as the Newcastle striker said that number 10 was waiting for Neymar there. I have 2 questions here.

1. Do you think Neymar will join Newcastle and leave PSG?
2. If Neymar's transfer to Newcastle takes place, do you think PSG's performance will decline for next season?

Give a reasonable response or answer, LOL.

[lulumiya]

This time Neymar is rumoured with Chelsea instead of Juventus. Because it is alleged that PSG don't want him in the team if possible. Chelsea might be able to take advantage of this situation of course but I'm curious how much he would cost Chelsea. Besides Chelsea might need a striker first rather than a winger now. Or maybe their plans are different about that and they will go for Neymar. I'm looking forward to seeing a solid left winger for PSG in that case. They will need one to play solid in the Champions League if he leaves.

I don't think neymar will leave psg, i heard that he agreed to extend his contract with the frensh club which is the right move for him i don't think newcastle will be able to compete for the top spots so its not interesting for him, i don't think him leaving will have a big impact on psg i don't know why but his performance has declined in the last couple of years, one of neymar flaws is that he is not a serious player if he get serious he will be the best player in the world.

What I do know is that no player succeeds under high pressure. What I see is that Neymar experienced this during his time at PSG which made the Brazilian football captain not as good as he was at Barcelona or there is something else that we don't know about so Neymar is rumored to be leaving PSG.
