French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[LittleBitFunny]

Pochettino is a good coach normally. He didn't manage Tottenham badly in the end. He just needs to find the right team for himself. PSG had big targets like winning the Champions League and he couldn't help them achieve it unfortunately. Maybe he could do a much greater job if he goes to a team that are similar to Tottenham in terms of strength and targets. PSG just want to try every option to reach their target at the end. This kind of a squad should be able to achieve the biggest success they can.

PSG's goals are much higher. I'm not say that the coach Mauricio Pochettino is bad. However, if you want to do well on a big platform like the Champions League, you must have a good match strategy. But Mauricio Pochettino's strategy was not good. He has long applied the same kind of match strategy. But PSG's gameplay has not improved. But I would say Mauricio Pochettino is suitable as a coach for teams like Tottenham or Newcastle. It is very difficult to coach a big team like PSG or a team with a lot of stars.

So it all shows that Pochetino wasn't a long term Coach for Paris as he has just part ways with PSG today. He hasn't had a good chance

Finally, PSG officially announced that Mauricio Pochettino had ended his position as PSG's main coach. The speculations that have been circulating
for the past few months regarding Pochettino's sacking have finally come true. Even though Pochettino managed to bring PSG to win Ligue 1

I personally Support the sacking of PSG Manager Mauricio Pochettino, For he's one of the major problem to PSG's poor performance including the players as well, A club could have the best team in the world but underperform due to bad manager and they will end up going home without trophy regardless of the kind of players in that club, Too when there is no unionsm among the players because the manager should be the one to ensure there's cooperation among players, Just imagine the kind of world class players in PSG like Neymar Jr, Lionel Messi,Keylian Mbape they couldn't lift the Champions League trophy.

If we look at PSG's disappointing performance in the Champions League, and also in Ligue 1 despite winning a trophy, but several times PSG lost
points against weak teams. Indeed, I also support what the PSG management did by sacking Pochettino, the problem is PSG must learn from
previous mistakes which several times chose inexperienced managers. So I would be disappointed if it was Galtier who would replace Pochettino.
Because I saw the inexperienced Galtier handling a team with many star players, it will be difficult to get the star players at PSG to work well
together. So I'm sure PSG will fire Galtier again next season, I don't know why PSG management keeps making the same mistakes. It's a shame
that PSG already has so many star players, provide a great salary and also provide the best facilities. But not being able to win the Champions
League trophy, that's a shame.

Finally, PSG officially announced that Mauricio Pochettino had ended his position as PSG's main coach. The speculations that have been circulating
for the past few months regarding Pochettino's sacking have finally come true. Even though Pochettino managed to bring PSG to win Ligue 1
in the 2021/2022 season,  it seems that PSG management is not satisfied with PSG's performance in the Champions League.

PSG are expected to win the league every season..because of the investments they make for players and the brand that they have turned into with world quality players. They are the Real Madrid of France without any competition on the other end. Regarding their failures in Champions league, They do not have a good midfield that could compete against the best teams in the world. Their attack is world class and their defense can match it too but the midfield? very very average. Its like a mid table premier league teams midfield. They should be investing smarter as midfield is the heart of a good, free flowing football.

I agree that one of PSG's weaknesses is that PSG's midfielders are too mediocre, so PSG lacks players who can supply players up front.
If PSG can bring in a midfielder who has good vision and good creativity, PSG should have played much better. Hopefully the new PSG coach
will realize that PSG need to bring in quality midfielders. Maybe only Marco Verratti is worth keeping for PSG, the rest of the midfielders are not
worth keeping and should be sold by PSG. Then replaced by a much better midfielder, as far as PSG have only brought in Vitinha to strengthen
the midfield, unfortunately Vitinha is still young. PSG still need a more experienced midfielder, rumors PSG are trying to bring in Renato Sanches
and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, I hope the rumors are true. As Renato Sanches and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are two quality and experienced midfielders,
so it can cover the lack of PSG in midfield.

Finally, PSG officially announced that Mauricio Pochettino had ended his position as PSG's main coach. The speculations that have been circulating for the past few months regarding Pochettino's sacking have finally come true. Even though Pochettino managed to bring PSG to win Ligue 1 in the 2021/2022 season,  it seems that PSG management is not satisfied with PSG's performance in the Champions League, which PSG must be
eliminated in the round of 16. PSG management was reportedly very upset with PSG's performance in the Champions League and finally decided to part with Pochettino before his contract expired. And according to rumors Christopher Galtier will be appointed as PSG's new manager this summer. Hopefully Galtier can help PSG win the Champions League trophy, because winning the Ligue 1 trophy is not a top priority for PSG. After all, to win
the Ligue 1 trophy is not something that is difficult for PSG, whoever the coach is, because the strength of PSG is very far when compared to other teams in Ligue 1.

From the great to the ridiculous is just one step. It's funny that Carlo Ancelotti was only half an hour away from being fired from Real Madrid, when the team lost without a chance in a home match at the home stadium. There is information that the club's president Florentino Perez was furious after the first match of the 1/8 final of the Champions League and wanted to fire Ancelotti in case of failure to reach the quarterfinals and invite Pochettino in his place. But you know perfectly well how it all ended, and Pochettino, thanks to this loss in this match, also lost the opportunity to lead Manchester United, which seemed to be an almost solved issue and whose leadership suddenly cooled to his candidacy, then betting on the candidacy of ten Hag. Therefore, I would like to wish Pochettino to find a team where he will prove himself and win many titles as a head coach.

So it all shows that Pochetino wasn't a long term Coach for Paris as he has just part ways with PSG today. He hasn't had a good chance and a good job since he left Tottenham. I currently don't know what's next for him. But the season still has a long way to go, he might still get a good job but from a lower teams and clubs.... A new manager should be brought in soon as PSG are currently preparing for the new season ahead with friendly game's.

All teams except psg will look low budget for Pochettino.  Opportunities in PSG are available in very few teams in the world.  They even convinced Messi and brought him to the team.  Which coach wouldn't want to stay in such a team?  When success did not come, the end came naturally.  Success is not only the French championship, but the UCL championship for Psg.

and currently Pochetino's position will be replaced by a local coach, namely Christophe Galtier, the former boss of Lille and Nice.
A few months ago there were rumors that PSG would be coached by Zinadine Zidane, but these rumors have been debunked and PSG currently prefer Christophe Galtier.
this will be a challenge for Galtier to be able to bring PSG glory and bring PSG to win the Champions League which they have not experienced so far, as well as revive the glory days of Lionel Messi as a player who has the potential to score many goals.

Of course, Galtier can be a good choice. But Zidane was a manager who could be very successful for Paris SG. I would love to have Zidane as head of Paris SG. He has a great football career and he understood the thoughts of the players best. He also managed a giant team -Real Madrid- in the past. It was successful too. We will see together what Galtier will do.

Zidane had championship mentally even since he active as a player and that's why he can get champion league trophy with Real Madrid as a player and as a coach and unfortunately eventually he has refuse to being an the manager of PSG and regarding Galtier probably he will be good choice and the reason why PSG choose Galtier because he can maximize the potential of PSG players because during train St Etienne and Lille he can managed these teams had stable performance without star players so he might be will change PSG but he never train big team before so it is not easy to control the team with many of star players

I have also complained about how Paris Saint-Germain F.C sacked a world class Mauricio Pochettino and employed a relatively unknown Christophe Galtier. I was thinking Zinedine Zidane would be the best and most comfortable replacement considering the quality and financial strength of the club. But I have come to understand that fame is not automatic, it starts from one day.  Christophe Galtier might turn out to be the missing link for the success of PSG. Hence I have stopped complaining but now expectant that he might be able to achieve what most top class coach failed to make happen.

Mauricio Pochettino is probably a world-class coach. But he did not succeed with the PSG team. We’ve got to recognize his stupidity many times over in the last season. The same kind of match strategy he has applied in every match. Thus, it is not possible to win a title on a platform like the Champions League. However, current PSG coach Christophe Galtier is not very experienced. At the same time, he has never been the coach of a big team before. If Zidane had been the coach of PSG, it would have been the best for PSG. But Zidane refused to take charge of PSG.

Neymar will definitely work under his new boss, Christophe Galtier because the new manager have already declare interest in the Brazilian bigname. Moreover, Neymar is a top high-profile player which every manager would want to work with him. Hoping to see PSG as a strong team next season, not just in their league but also in the champions league. Christophe Galtier is a good coach, and he would look forward to add some new players in the tewm.

Neymar is one of models for PSG new skirt in a coming season. If PSG did not have plan for Neymar, they would have used another player. It can be a very last season of Neymar in Paris. If he continues to make PSG board of director disappointed, they will consider to let him go.

Neymar is one of best players but he has yet achieved big things. No World Cup, no Ballon d'Or and since his transfer from Barcelona to PSG, what he made is under expectation based on his transfer value and his very high salary.

With so much speculation going around right now, is it possible that we will still see the MNM trio next season?
As far as I know, Neymar future at PSG now seems to be full of question marks, but if later he stays at PSG then I think Galtier must be able to maximize the potential of Neymar later, in my opinion, Neymar is a good player and has qualified skills but indeed his injury has made him less than optimal in playing, besides that, Galtier  is currently starting to be coach from  PSG, may find it difficult to maintain the balance of the PSG squad, especially the front line which is filled with star players who have quite a high ego.

I think pochettino's achievements are not that big (compared to galtier)

it is clear that the PSG owner is making big bets in the next 2 years for Galtier (If in the first year, PSG's quality declines, I'm sure Galtier will be sacked immediately), I am very curious about the achievements that PSG will achieve in the next season

And that's the problem, Zidane doesn't want to accept PSG's offer to coach despite the support of both the fans and the club's board of directors. Christophe Galtier is not experienced enough with big teams like PSG and other top teams and I'm sure he will probably be a bit overwhelmed by the likes of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in his first season at PSG. In fact, I quite doubt he can bring PSG to many victories in Europe, especially in the Champions League this season.

I believe the new manager will work to improve the performance of PSG and I also see Naymar as one of the key players that will be used by the new manager Christophe Galtier to achieve his aim in the club. PSG will be aiming to win the Champions League with the new coach which has always been there target and with the combination of Messi, Mpappe and Neymar I see the Team becoming more dangerous under the leadership of a new manager. The PSG team has always dominated the Franch League so I don't think they will encounter difficulty in retaining the League under the new manager.

With the help of Christophe Galtier, PSG can easily win the Ligue 1 title. But don’t forget that PSG’s main goal is to win the Champions League title. And PSG are ready to spend more money to do well in the Champions League. Christophe Galtier must try to solve the internal problems of his team. And the relationship between the players needs to get better. If the players do not understand each other well, good performance cannot be expected from the team. Christophe Galtier must focus on this aspect.

Now time is running out for Neymar because he is not useful as PSG management were expecting even he is one of the play who is in category of special treatment which is creating serious troubles for them there were rumors that he is going to Juventus or any other club now this all ends with new manager is having him in his set-up for this season but surely if PSG not able to achieve their targets then we are going to have some big changes in this season because PSG management already lost their patience, and they want some good results specially in Champions League.

With this all most chances this season is going to be testing case for both Neymar and new coach if something good not happened than surely Galtier is going to lose his job as coach of PSG and Neymar is also going to lose this club and special treatment because no other club going to give things like this to him.

Mauricio Pochetino ? Tactically inept!! I saw he's flaws at the last days of he's stay at Tottenham Hotspur. And I see he had some issues with some players the sole aim of Paris Saint Germans is to win the Champions League and until that is been achieved, they have achieved less. They must have won the league for some years now ever since Monaco won last.

Zinedine Zidane ? Consider him the next coach to France national team. Managing such a big team with big name isn't as easy as it seems.
Zidane would have been the first Coach to Coach and Manage Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi but he seem not to be interested in the job.

Fame aside, all they need from the coach is to utilize the squad and win the champions league, as I can place all of my mortgage on PSG to win the League 1 once again.

Everyone knows that Galtier will try his best to make the team "better". But to be fair, I believe that Pochettino was a better manager and with more experience on top name clubs than Galtier. I do not know what they are expecting to achieve with Galtier that they couldn't with Pochettino.

Zidane made sense and I really wanted to see that and I am quite upset that they didn't pay Zidane whatever he wanted. Like if you can pay 60+ million for Mbappe, and 120 million just to sign it, then I am sorry but you could pay Zidane 10-20 million as well which is usually unheard of for a manager, don't know if anyone gets that much, I know Simeone gets 3+ million per month which is weird, but even Klopp doesn't get 20 million I think.

That's what confused me about PSG's decision to make Galtier a replacement for Pochettino, whereas in experience Pochettino is better
than Galtier. Although I also don't agree with PSG keeping Pochettino, at least PSG are looking for a more experienced coach than
Pochettino. PSG should look for a coach who has won the Champions League trophy, because PSG's main target is to win the Champions
League trophy.

Galtier's appointment seems to be due to the influence of Luis Campos who does have a close relationship with Galtier,  because the two had
worked together at Lille. I hope PSG doesn't make a mistake in choosing a coach, because PSG changes coaches very often. Even though I really
hope that Zidane will become Pochettino's replacement, but it seems that Zidane has rejected offers from PSG several times. Then we will see
if Galtier can make PSG's performance much better, especially PSG's appearance in the Champions League will be in the spotlight.
This would be a very formidable task for Galtier.
