French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[sana54210]

The big responsibility lies with Galtier because PSG's biggest target is the UCL trophy. Even though they have expensive players inside, PSG's cohesiveness is not yet clear, this is what makes them bad compared to Madrid, Man City, Bayern, or Liverpool. but galtier is famous for his surprises, and maybe in his hands PSG will get the UCL trophy next season, which will also be his first UCL trophy as a coach.

Galtier is not a manager that ever had any success at that level before. They are going with an untested manager. While everyone was expecting them to sign Zidane, they managed to get a manager that wasn't in the radars of any team. I do not know what they have seen, I do not know what the point of this is. But, I am sure that they did their testing, they did their scouting and found something in him that nobody else saw.

Let's see what they would be doing this year, if they could do that then we could be doing a lot better. Of course it will take a while before we understand how he is, because champions league is easy when in group stages for them, and out of group stages are months and months away. So we will learn how he will do in like maybe 8 months, hence it is going to stay a question mark.

PSG management is having dream of Champions League, and they can do anything for this but sadly right now they are doing not favor decisions which is going to fulfill their desire for this trophy Galtier is having good record in Ligue 1.

But, about Champions League he is completely zero which is big problem most chances we are going to this position empty soon with someone big is coming even it takes one season and most chances if they give some better environment then we can watch Conte or any other big name as PSG coach right now it's not possible because these gentlemen's want equal treatment for all players which is not happening and it is creating problem and Zidane's is not interested in this job is just because of this.

Yes PSG is really only concerned with winning the Champions League. I also think that it will only be a matter of time before they win. The focus and concentration are not at all on the competition for this team. That could also have been the reason why Lille became champions 2 years ago and PSG had a dramatic season in the league. The question is more how many points ahead PSG will have at the end of the season. I think few players will leave. It is a pity that Simons is gone, that was potentially a successor for Messi.

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

No. PSG's performance will not decrease if Neymar leaves PSG. It's better for Neymar to stay one more season at PSG because the compatibility with Messi will blend in like at Barcelona in my opinion and the PSG boss should not be hasty in making a decision if the rumors of Neymar leaving Paris are true.

You're right, if Neymar is not at PSG, the PSG team won't have much of a problem. I would even say that they will benefit financially. Neymar has suffered a number of injuries in the last few seasons. As a result, the PSG team had to play without Neymar. But I would be happy if Neymar stays at PSG for one more season. Because we all know the chemistry of Messi and Neymar is excellent. If Neymar does not suffer an injury next season, PSG will be able to play better in the Champions League with the help of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe.

[Slow death]

Neymar made a smart condition in his contract with PSG and honestly, I don't know why PSG was dumb like this.

from what i read the contract was automatically renewed and looking at neymar's age and poor performance and injuries is allied to the fact that he misses training and i also heard that he does not have a good attitude in terms of education in the changing rooms which can cause other players also become rebels so keeping neymar is not a good choice, he can't play at least 60% of the games every season, PSG is just spending money to pay neymar salary

and sources in Neymar's entourage are confident that next season will be one of the best in his career.

I doubt it, he won't be able to play more than 60% of games next season

I agree with you. PSG is only wasting money by giving wages to Neymar. Neymar's wages are much higher. But PSG should take one more risk. Since Messi will be at PSG until next season, PSG management should give Neymar another season and a chance to play with Messi. My guess is that if Messi, Neymar, and Mbapee play well and don't get injured, the PSG team will be unstoppable. At the same time, they need an experienced coach badly.

[Velvet78]

I think that the automatic renewal of Neymar's contract doesn't change anything as it doesn't pose an hindrance for him to be sold still. However I started thinking that even Chelsea might not be very willing about signing him considering his very high yearly wage. I wouldn't wait for Neymar to be okay about making much less money than he does now. I don't expect Chelsea to give his current contract too.

[ilovealtcoins]

Galtier had been made the man to lead PSG to their champions league trophy next season.I actually thought it was going to be Zidane who will take on the job,but those rumours were far from the truth.PSG needs a man that can manage those big players at the team and blend them together to be able to produce something reasonable for the club.Neymar,Messi and Mbape are three big players at the team that can make things happen at that club if the coach is able to manage them well and reignite the winning spirit in them.
It is no doubt that the champions league is really going to be tough next season because of the transfer of different players to different clubs of their choice.It is yet to be seen whether the man they've chosen for the job will be able to deliver the team or not.

the rumors of them bringing in galtier to the team, as the new head coach sounds so shocken to me, cause it was far from what many of us expected, cause alot of people what's expecting zidane to be announced as their new manager. perhaps PSG problem is well cleared to us, they needed a fearless coach, a coach that can do what it takes to bring out the best of the team, a coach that's admired and respected by everybody. that's the more reason i was expecting zidane, cause he has this qualities, perhaps bringing in galtier is not bad if only he can handle the team expectedly, though we can't come to conclusion, next season will decide that.

I don't think it is going to be a big improvement for PSG. they needed someone who could impose authority over the players. not someone who could be just a substitute for who was here earlier. I have heard that  Neymar has extended his contract with PSG. so, PSG still has the same team, or at least basically the same team going into the next season as well. it will be a big disappointment if they are unable to win the champions league this time as well.

PSG redeemed Neymar from Barcelona at a fantastic price and his action at PSG was considered unsatisfactory by some parties, one of which was because Neymar was injured too often. If Neymar is sold, I assume that PSG have made a profit from Neymar since his arrival in 2017.
There is news that I read from several sources that Neymar will stay at PSG until the 2022 world cup takes place.

Mbappe's decision to sign a new contract at PSG until 2025 will certainly make it clear that the brilliant action of the MNM trio will continue next season even though last season their actions were classified as failing to complete PSG's big mission.

PSG has successfully get Vitinha from Porto with 40 millions euro and he was officially announced to the public yesterday and Vitinha will get long term duration contract 5 years until 2027 this is good for PSG because they really need new player on midfield position and he can be good choice as the substitute of Idrissa Gueye or Marco Verratti especially last season he is one of the key player who help Porto get Portugal league title

Well, hopefully Vitinha can really contribute to PSG because even though he's one of the good Porto players, he's not that great at making goals and assists. Because for the central midfield position of course it would be better to have a good collection of assists, but not for Vitinha and moreover Ligue 1 will certainly be more difficult. I personally can't expect too much with statistics like this, but let's look forward to his performance next season with PSG.

I have a little doubt that Vitinha will be able to adapt quickly to the star players at PSG in his first season, but he is still very young and it will be an advantage for PSG for him to develop even more in the future.
now PSG are very serious about improving their midfield and defense, this is a very good step for them to continue to improve the team's performance for next season.

Vitinha is a talented player. He is still young. And so it will be easier for him to adapt to any team now if he is diligent. PSG will appoint a new coach next season. The new coach will definitely apply a new match strategy. And so it will take some time for the team to become completely stable. So my guess is that Vitinha will be able to adapt to the PSG squad very quickly.

Still it's good signing from PSG because with this now their midfield could be in better shape but as few peoples having doubt about his adjustment it's important because coming from other country and having few big stars around it's not easy for any player to adjust and perform in good way it's still going to take sometime then we can judge how he is going to perform in this season and coming season's.

With this transfer now we are feeling they are doing good work for their preparation into Champions League because it's their main task for this season, and they are bringing few exciting and quality players for this, hopefully this season could change their fortune for this title as well.

I thought Psg was going for Thuram initially, it seems like they pull out of the race, i would have preferred him over vitinha to be candid I might be bias though because i’m more familiar with khéphren. if renato joins i can’t see psg going for another non-defensive midfielder although there might still be a chance given verratti’s and renato’s injury history. Psg been spending huge on players unnecessary I don't think that Vitinha is worth up to that amount, that's what Arsene Wenger was trying to curb back then, big clubs been splashing huge amounts of money on players that aren't worth it

because neymar has signed a contract extension at PSG then another tough task galtier (besides making PSG win the UCL trophy) is how to make neymar more useful for PSG next season

from the start neymar only wanted to stay at PSG because only PSG were able and wanted to pay neymar's salary (but there were many rumors that reported neymar wanted to move clubs). hopefully PSG will change (unlike PSG last season) lol

[hashrateproducts]

PSG have finally sealed the deal of bringing Christophe Galtier to the team. He's the new head coach of the Parisians and the team will definitely unveil him tomorrow. Can't wait to see him take over the managerial job from Mauricio Pochettino who failed the team for lifting the champions league. The coach will set essential things in the team, and bring in some new players of his choice, just hoping he won't failed us as the other pass managers.

Of course, after returning from a loan spell from Wolverhampton in the 2020/2021 season he led Porto to win the Portuguese league title and the Taca de Portugal. After that he also got a call to the Portugal national team and already has three caps. Of course, PSG's offer is quite attractive for Porto because the price is quite large. In addition, the arrival of Vitinha is the first signing of the transfer market this summer. This might also be the effect of Galtier's arrival, though I don't know much. Galtier with Lille won the French League and stopped PSG's dominance in the 2021 season and last season, he brought Nice to the runner-up of the Coupe de France.

Apart from the injury that Neymar suffered while joining PSG, but I can assure you that Neymar made a big contribution to PSG during his contract. Look at his goal statistics with PSG in this picture, you certainly don't doubt his capacity. But PSG may have failed to live up to expectations that Neymar might be able to help them win the Champions League title, but so far it hasn't.

These are just the stats for Ligue 1, but if you want to see more, then have a look here.

[snipie]

-snip-

Galtier will replace Pochettino in PSG, the announcement will be held next week, Tuesday maybe.
Neymar contract with PSG will end in 2027.. I doubt they will find a way to let him go without losing much money or maybe a loan offer after the next season in case he wasn't that helpful for the club.
PSG winning CL isn't a dream, they can but they should try their best. A team with such stars shouldn't struggle like that, it is more powerful than a national team

from what i read this neymar issue became more controversial because coach Christophe Galtier told Luís Campos that he wants neymar next season so he can implement a system a 3-5-2 tactical system with neymar playing behind of Messi and Kylian Mbappe. I think that with this news then neymar will not leave PSG. I hope this new coach knows what he's doing, because neymar can never play all season without having an injury that prevents him from playing many games, PSG is spending money on him

Yeah I read that and it is another reason for him to stay at least for the next season.
Until now there isn't any kind of negotiation and there is no club willing to pay what PSG is offering for him. I read only about Santos wanting him back and Chelsea looking for him and CR7 but how accurate this news is?
