French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Yes, they are very different when compared to Paris Saint Germain, they not only lost in terms of players, money, also all aspects that the team needs. This makes it difficult for us to find competitive competition here. How is it possible that a team that doesn't have everything that Paris Saint Germain has will be able to provide stiff competition. I can't think of that in Ligue 1 competition.

Ligue 1 doesn't have more big investors going into each team, so only Paris Saint Germain are showing up more because they have the money and good players that the team needs. Because it will be very difficult for a team to be competitive if the team does not want to spend money to get better players. That's why Ligue 1 is not so exciting and competitive in terms of competition when compared to other Leagues in every season. This season in Ligue 1 I have only seen a slight difference in the Marseille team from several teams with the same performance as last season.

Investors are more interested in choosing Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga because the four leagues are better than Ligue 1. After Nasser Al-Khelaifi buys PSG, there is no other wealthy investor who wants to buy a Ligue 1 club, now PSG is one- The only club that always dominates Ligue 1 because the squad is formed with money from the club owner. PSG ranks first as a club that has the most luxurious squad, it is natural that PSG always wins the Ligue 1 title because there is no other team that is able to compete with the luxury squad owned by PSG.

This is the biggest problem for the Ligue 1 indeed. It isn't like the English Premier League in which like nearly every team have a lot of money to spend on transfers. I don't know how but the Ligue needs to find a way to attract the attention of people more. This league is still way behind in the comparison among top European leagues. They need to increase the quality of the games. We are still watching so many boring games in this league.

I remember Monaco and PSG only which have built a really qualified squad so far in the league. Monaco don't have such squad now though when we compare now to their years with Falcao. As long as some rich people don't buy a team here it is nearly impossible to see different teams becoming the champions or even fighting for the title often. As a result this league can't reach high levels in the ranking in this way.

Investor want to get much profit when investing in football team exactly have choose between Ligue 1 and Primer League, have different with distribution of television rights is very large between the Premier League and Ligue 1 could be reason why many investors more interested invest with primer league than Ligue 1. Until several years after PSG acquisition by Nasser Al-Khelaifi still not have other competitor or investor want to buy Ligue 1 team and make competitive with PSG.

Only with PSG as Ligue 1 team have much money and easy make many transfer every window open, bring Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Hakimi last season become proof for PSG how easy get deal with start layer although have to pay higher transfer and salary accepted by them, not problem for PSG lately with extended contract for Mbappe and he asks most fantastic salary and looks not really problem for PSG financial.

It's clear that the Premier League and La Liga are the places of big investors. That equates to a lot of interest in watching the mentioned League rather than Ligue 1.
This is what makes there is no competition that can really spoil the eye. But for now Serie A presents an interesting spectacle in the standings, where the teams that were under the top 4 are now sitting in that place.

From first place occupied by PSG to fourth place occupied by Lens in Ligue 1, only adrift by a thin difference in points. it indicates that the competition in the French league is still fairly competitive, all teams that are below PSG's ranking, must fight hard so that the competition continues to run well.

it is not easy to break the dominance of SPG, which incidentally has very supportive financial resources.
However, that doesn't mean the teams below can't compete with PSG's squad. this is football, everything has grown into a very profitable business.

So, it's not PSG's fault if they have players who are far above average.

I would like to know how much profit (real and not using fake advertising contracts) PSG have when they spend space money on players  I think that the club is deeply unprofitable. As for the difference in points, I would look at the number of points lost - PSG have only 2 lost points in 8 games. This is a very good result and at the moment, out of the top 5 leagues, only Real Madrid has a better result.

It's difficult because at first glance it's clear PSG are very good in every way but inside them now it's clear there are some problems and not impossible as you say.
No matter how strong the advantages are when they see several players including special players, they obviously need more spending for this and things like this need good financial management so that they don't go down in the end.

[Falconer]

Losing one player in the trio is bad only if their combination is good for PSG. If they have conflicts with each other and their combination is not too good, perhaps missing one player can be better.

Fortunately, likely that we are seeing better combination and connection between them after the drama from Mbappe. Whether they can succeed, it will depend on how they maintain it in Champions League.

Mbappe must change his childish egotistical attitude. He is a talented player as one of the young stars, but if he always behaves selfishly which does not benefit his team then he will fade before he reaches his peak. Neymar and Messi are two more experienced players, they know what they have to do for the team and their friends so that the team's goals can be achieved. But if Mbappe does not always indulge his passions and selfishness, then the appearance of the PSG striker is really very scary.

I want to see how far PSG can stay in the Champions League this season and I also want to see how the three strikers perform in every game. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe would be great if they understood each other.

It is really hard for the teams in this league to increase country coefficient very much in the circumstances. Because as most of you mentioned already, the Ligue 1 isn't getting enough investments and sponsorship deals. This is preventing the teams from having a much better financial condition to consolidate their squads with very qualified players. As a result, we don't see them being successful in European tournaments.

PSG are the only hope for the country now but even they aren't able to win the Champions League title even for once. Even if they achieve the title this season it is still not enough for this league. The Ligue 1 management don't seem like they are intending to take some action about this topic also. It isn't easy to increase the quality of a league in a short time period of course. But they can do this in time if they take the right steps to attract the investors here.

You said the right thing my friend,PSG remain the only team who have invested heavily in their team,and that's why they remain the only team who can win their tittle.Lack of investment into other teams has made the league seem like a boring one because when their is no competition and aggressiveness in the league,it makes the dominant team feel their is no other team in the league that can take the tittle from them,and it remains like that because no other team wants to invest in their club so that they can win their tittle.PSG are hopeful of winning this season's champions league,but it will still remain impossible for them to achieve such because they have not played in unity the way they are supposed to,and they still seem to struggle when they meet a big team.Those things must be corrected by them before they will be able to win the Champions league.

@hd49728 this might be Messi’s last season at PSG unless he decides to extend it for another year, hence I’m sure that he’ll be very keen to win the champions league with PSG because I feel that he’ll return to Barcelona in 2023. @Falconer this year too Real Madrid is looking very strong to me in the champions league, and PSG can only win it if these trio completely coordinate with each other otherwise they’ll be beaten once again.

The league needs a long time to raise its standards. The league has to be attractive. The sponsor will then be interested in investing more. Then the management of each team can provide large funds to build their team. If the management of the teams does not attach star players to the team then the quality of Ligue 1 will not increase. Every season we will only see the dominance of PSG. Because they have a lot of money and they don't feel stingy to spend a lot of money to recruit players.

It's really not that other teams in Ligue 1 don't want to invest in buying star players like PSG did. But because other teams in Ligue 1 don't have
the financial strength like PSG, so they have a hard time competing with PSG. That's why I expect a lot of rich businessmen to buy clubs in Ligue 1,
just like some of the big clubs in the Premier League are owned by wealthy businessmen, so the competition in the Premier League is more competitive.
Unlike in Ligue 1, where only PSG are able to bring in many star players. That's what makes the competition in Ligue 1 in my opinion less competitive,
so it's very easy for PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy.

But it's very different when PSG play in the Champions League, they get a lot of opponents who have almost the same strength. So PSG often fail
to win the Champions League trophy, because many PSG competitors do not only have many star players, but some of PSG's rival teams are
playing better than PSG. Because we know that PSG's weakness is that they have difficulty doing good cooperation between players, and some
star players at PSG are very difficult to control, many players are selfish in PSG. But I see a few changes Galtier has made as PSG coach.
Besides Galtier being more able to control PSG's star players, Galtier also doesn't spend a lot of money to bring in star players. Hopefully this season
PSG can play better than the previous season, and go further in the Champions League than the previous season. But I still doubt that PSG can win
the Champions League trophy this season even though their performance this season is better than the previous season.

Right now biggest problem is PSG management behavior they need to be professional, but their approach is never been ideal for any sports team so just because of this they are facing on and off the field issues and have no good results in Champions League specially in knock out stages where we have few top ranked teams which can exploit their weakness and can give you defeat with their professional approach.

Neymar, Messi and Mbappé three biggest stars but sadly never been good on field due to mostly Mbappé childish attitude which is surely hurting them but special treatment from PSG management is not allowing to have better thing for all players which can give them good results with current squad if they have no Mbappé they could be better and able to have better results in Champions League.

This league makes a big advertisement thanks to PSG, but there are times when PSG actually harms this league. For many football spectators PSG is not a good team, spectators want to watch teams that struggle and can face the challenges. PSG, on the other hand, is a team that gets involved in many speculations almost every year and we hear about the problems of the players in the team.

It takes a long time for the league to be more recognized and attract more attention. This is not something that can happen in a short time. I think it is necessary not to rush for it to be like the Premier League or Serie A

[Zlantann]

so it's very easy for PSG to win the Ligue 1 trophy.

Businessmen would always be attracted to invest in leagues that are more profitable. The French league is the fifth most profitable league in the world far behind the German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, and the English Premier League. Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) did not only buy PSG for profit but to portray Qatar as a potential football nation before this year's FIFA world cup.

So until the French league starts attracting lucrative viewing right contracts and other multi-million dollar endorsements, teams would keep suffering from financial challenges that would hamper them from buying world-class players.

PSG are the only hope for the country now but even they aren't able to win the Champions League title even for once. Even if they achieve the title this season it is still not enough for this league. The Ligue 1 management don't seem like they are intending to take some action about this topic also. It isn't easy to increase the quality of a league in a short time period of course. But they can do this in time if they take the right steps to attract the investors here.

PSG winning the Champions League would be a big boost to the league. It would attract more investors and at least an extra French team would be added to the country's champions league slot. And that team might raise funds from the competition and endorsements that can help it buy some good players.

Assume for a moment that an investor wants to invest in another team from LIGUE-1.

Can you tell me which team he is going to choose?

Is there a team that seems like it will be able to generate a significant amount of money even after a year from now? The answer is no, I don't think so.

When you know that PSG is already one of the strongest teams in the league with some world-class players, you are not likely to want to compete against them.
Additionally, the money flow is much better in the English Premier League and La Liga as well as some other leagues compared to the LIGUE-1.
Therefore, investors would be wise to consider the most efficient financial decisions that they can make and choose to invest in those clubs that offer the highest returns.

[arimamib]

This makes it difficult for us to find competitive competition here. How is it possible that a team that doesn't have everything that Paris Saint Germain has will be able to provide stiff competition. I can't think of that in Ligue 1 competition.

Ligue 1 doesn't have more big investors going into each team, so only Paris Saint Germain are showing up more because they have the money and good players that the team needs. Because it will be very difficult for a team to be competitive if the team does not want to spend money to get better players. That's why Ligue 1 is not so exciting and competitive in terms of competition when compared to other Leagues in every season. This season in Ligue 1 I have only seen a slight difference in the Marseille team from several teams with the same performance as last season.

Marseille is only able to provide competition in the top flight but cannot break PSG dominance as Ligue 1 champions. From year to year only PSG are able to win the Ligue 1 title, other teams are only complementary. The quality of Ligue 1 is still below other top European leagues, for that reason investors are less interested in looking at Ligue 1. So it is not wrong if Ligue 1 is called an agricultural league because only PSG always dominates the standings.

Actually, in terms of performance and individual players, it is clear that they are very superior, the problem is when they are able to manage players which should be able to be done but cannot at this time especially when there are players who are considered bigger than their own team will clearly affect the stability of performance.
It is undeniable that they are good in form but it is not enough if there is no harmony in the players.

All teams in Ligue 1 are very weak compared to PSG. While PSG has plenty of money, the rest of the Ligue 1 teams are not financially strong. And so they cannot buy star players to strengthen the squad. As long as clubs don't find rich owners, they won't be able to build a team as strong as PSG. As long as the teams are not able to strengthen themselves, we will continue to see PSG reign.
