French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[superman184]

PSG secured a remarkable 2-0 victory in Ligue 1. Lionel Messi's performance in the match was unremarkable. Basically, Lionel Messi has failed to adapt to PSG very well. One of the reasons may be the coach of the team. The coach of the team really does not know how to manage Lionel Messi in the game.

Why do you blame the coach in this case? Even though in general the PSG team can win the match even if only with two goals from Mbappe. And you also need to know that the two goals that occurred in the first half with a short time difference were thanks to a mature pass from Lionel Messi in the 8th minute and another from Ruiz in the 6th minute of the match. So in this case how can you say that Lionel Messi's performance was mediocre and failed to adapt to PSG?

Looks like you didn't watch the match played by PSG at home to Auxerre. This was proven when you were wrong in saying the final score for their match and also said that Lionel Messi couldn't adapt to the PSG team so you tried to blame the coach in this case. I think that's really strange because in fact Lionel Messi also contributed to the goal scored by Mbappe in the 8th minute. Although I'm not surprised by the result PSG got because PSG was against a weak team in Ligue1.

There are only two matches left and there is also an interesting rivalry going on for the two teams in the bottom zone and they are, Auxerre and Nantes. Because, the three teams below Nantes no longer have a chance to get out of the relegation zone, and only Nantes has a chance to get out of the relegation zone because Nantes only has a 1 point gap with Auxerre.

But yes, considering that Nantes in the next match will play away against Lille, then I think Nantes will not be able to get out of the relegation zone. Because at this moment Lille is also in competition to be able to finish in fourth position or only maintain its position in fifth position. Therefore, it is difficult for Nantes to get points in the next match, because if I compare Nantes with Auxerre, at least Auxerre still has an easier opponent than the opponent Nantes will face.

Your are right,  Lille will want to get 3 points from their next match in order to overthrow Monaco. I would have said it will be hard for them but I'm sure of that cuz they will be playing a home match against a team in the relegation zone. Nantes fate of playing the frrench league 1 by next season will be determined by this match, likewise, lille desire to move into the top 4 zones. Monaco has 2 points ahead of Lille,  this might change if Stade rennes decides not to yield to them in their next match. therefore,  Lilles still have hope of appearing in the European Champion League competition come next season.

Troyes, Ajaccio and Angers are 3 of the 4 clubs that have confirmed they will no longer be in Ligue 1 next season, one place remaining for next season's relegation. Nantes and Auxerre will compete over who will be safe and stay in Ligue 1 next season. 2 matches remaining and they only have 1 point difference with Auxerre collecting 34 points and Nantes collecting 33. The competition from these two clubs will be very interesting for us to see. Of the 2 opponents they will still face, Nantes can be said to be easier, because they will face Angers in their last game. Who do you think will survive?

After started the match two goals have been scored and felt that there will be more goals from the PSG but that was not happen rather there was more excitement in the 51st minute when Lascine Sinyoko scored on behalf of Auxerre. Many expected the match will ended by draw. But after scoring a goal they tried to turn around and PSG had to work hard. But eventually PSG won the match 2-1.

Auxerre had a poor start, otherwise they could have really taken at least 1 point. If Auxerre plays the last 2 matches like the second half, they will secure their position ahead of Nantes.  Well when a team like this comes against a team like PSG, I wasn't expecting them to win. However, they played the first half like they had given up already. Somehow they managed to come alive in the second half but then it was already too late. The favourite was PSG and they didn't disappoint at all.

Even though PSG has so many great players, it's only the best performance in Ligue 1 that matters. PSG could not reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Lionel Messi, Mbappé, Neymar, Hakimi Ramos are all expensive players but can't do well in the Champions League, how do you see it?

When I noticed how the game started I thought that this could be a record win of the season, but PSG decelerated a lot after scoring those two quick goals. In the end Auxerre even had more shots on target than PSG. Every time I see how such a game can still develop against a team that is full of world class players, I ask myself how that can happen? Shouldn't these players stick to their plan and execute it for the 90 minutes? If you are that strong and you have the players who know how to keep the ball and pass it around, how can a team like Auxerre almost make a comeback and tie the game? Even though PSG wins Ligue 1, they have a problem that is similar to Chelsea's. These teams have motivational issues. It is not that they are weak, it is a lack of motivation and attitude.

I would say Auxerre was a bit unlucky. They conceded two consecutive goals in just two minutes. Mbappe scored the first goal of the match in 6 minutes from Ruiz's pass. And Mbappe scored another goal just two minutes from time from Messi's pass before Auxerre regrouped. But even after that PSG players made several more attacks but they could not score any goals. I wouldn't say Auxerre was weak. Auxerre also had some good attacks. Although they scored a goal in the second half, they could not earn points from the match. Auxerre lost 2-1.

As expected an impressive performance from them! Mbappé's early double set the flore for the match and they never really looked back. Despite a couple of half-chances from Auxerre, Parisian were in complete control tonight. With this victory, they have now opened up a 6-point gap over 2nd placed Lens and need just one point from their last two games to secure the title.

You are right. That is a very weird and wrong comment. Not only about the score but also adaptation of Messi to PSG and this being due to the coach. I don't think there was no adaptation issues for Messi. PSG's problems lie within the team quality. Offensive power is of course great and mostly effective but I can't say the same things about the midfield and especially defense. Coaching is another issue. Even if they'd bring someone big like Pep, things wouldn't work out perfectly with this roster IMO. Benzema has grown old and completed his mission. Mbappe has to come to Real Madrid, now if we put Julian Alvarez or Osimhen next to him, that will be a legendary team. Messi has been doing his job very reluctantly for the last 2-3 matches. But his head is elsewhere. The team is very selfish, messi can't get the ball where other players should pass it to him. Next season doesn't look bright for PSG.

Troyes, Ajaccio and Angers are 3 of the 4 clubs that have confirmed they will no longer be in Ligue 1 next season, one place remaining for next season's relegation.

The competition from these two clubs will be very interesting for us to see. Of the 2 opponents they will still face, Nantes can be said to be easier, because they will face Angers in their last game. Who do you think will survive?

it seems that it will also be difficult for Nantes to win against Lille later, that will only leave them in 17th place. While Auxerre will face Toulouse it won't be an easy game either, if they win then their position is safe but if they lose and Nantes wins then Auxerre will be shifted to the bottom position.

[rendravolt]

Nice failed to unseat Clemont in the standings after only a goalless draw against Touluse. Of course, this is an advantage for Toulouse, who can at least get 1 point away from home, while Nice is at a disadvantage because they were actually able to shift Clemont's position at the same time they lost to Brest. For Toulouse, it has been confirmed that their position is safe from the relegation zone this season and with two games remaining they will not be relegated even though they have lost. Nice actually doesn't have any targets other than to be able to return to Ligue 1 next season and at least they are in a pretty good position at the moment.

I will answer it. it should be noted, when PSG fell against Bayern, PSG did not play with a full squad. even Neymar was injured at that time, as well as several other players. PSG has sharp strength on the front line, but it's a shame that the front line players don't get good support from other players like good and creative midfielders. which in the end, they fell against Bayern Munich.

To be honest, I don't blame Galtier as a coach, but on the management of PSG itself. they didn't sign the ideal players, especially the midfield positions. whereas, they were able to bring in players with more potential in the transfer market last winter. but the fact is, they didn't.
Apart from that, since the beginning of the season PSG has always been rumored to have conflicts in their locker room. if it's not Mbappe, it's definitely Neymar. this team, always bombarded with various rumors that always cornered them. even today, Messi and Neymar are the mockery of PSG fans.
By the way, PSG still has 2 games left. PSG only needs 1 winning match, or a draw so the Ligue 1 trophy still belongs to PSG.

To be honest, Mbappe is the only one for his team, and even at the end of the season when Messi and Neymar leave PSG for other teams because of the bad situations they have, still, there is a higher chance for Mbappe to stay because he just extended his contract, during the game against Auxerre Mbappe had perfect start by scoring two goals in less than 10 minutes.

The biggest flaw of PSG was that they did not have a balanced team. The team was full of attacking power. But there is no use in having really good attacking players if the midfield is unable to supply good balls to the attacking players properly. And of course, the defense was really bad.

If the team actually work well and the players had good communication with each other I don't think most of them wanted to leave the team. And the success was also going to be a lot more from PSG if they just did not act so selfish on the field. After all, I will say that the biggest problem of PSG was not Messi.

[FanEagle]

The sole purpose of adding Lionel Messi to the PSG team was to do well in the Champions League. But the PSG team's midfielders and defense have been very bad this season. And Lionel Messi has so far failed to adapt himself to the PSG team. And just like the previous season, PSG has been knocked out of the Champions League this time.

I always said that if you can't build a "team" then having great players mean nothing, you should be able to turn all those talented players into a single unified team, if you can do that then even worse teams do better as we have seen so far. PSG is a great talent pool and they have great players but those players do not play like a team and have trouble even among each other let alone with the coach.

I think if they can get another coach, someone who could actually win UCL with this roster, then the roster could be enough to win it, there is no denying that. This season I assumed they would go further but they lost as soon as they got out of the group stages, I believe they are not going to be really posing any threat to anyone as long as they do not fix the issues within.

I agree, so far PSG has only focused on attack but forgot to strengthen the midfield and back even though if PSG want to be an unbeatable team then everything has to be balanced

in the transfer market later, I wonder whether PSG will buy a midfielder or not because actually that is what must be the first homework for PSG, if PSG's midfield is strong then their defense will definitely be strong too

It should be Nantes who will stay in League 1, the most difficult opponent for them will be against Lille. And against Angers is the biggest chance for Nantes to stay in league 1. Meanwhile, Auxerre is possibility not get any points because they will against Toulouse and also Lens in their remaining matches. On paper, also Toulouse is better rather than Auxerre. Even, last time when the both meet Toulouse got a very comfortable winning with a big score vs Auxerre.

Having an unbalanced team is the reason for PSG to get bad results, in fact, PSG had good forwards and they had the most expensive players in their team like Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi while in PSG, they need a better coach They had to hire better defender and midfielders I think that's what they are going to do for the next season otherwise they won't have better performance.

They are filled with players who are actually very good and the quality can be said to be far from average, especially for Ligue 1, it's just that in this case it's also not enough because we can still see that there are still many gaps and chemistry between the players, especially for the defense line and attack line is still very lacking.
There needs to be someone who can set the rhythm for their midfield because this can also be very important apart from for confidence it can also be used to smoothen their attacks.

[trendcoin]

Even though PSG has so many great players, it's only the best performance in Ligue 1 that matters. PSG could not reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Lionel Messi, Mbappé, Neymar, Hakimi Ramos are all expensive players but can't do well in the Champions League, how do you see it?

When I look at the numbers paid for the testimonial fees of these football players, I consider the issue as a real failure. The testimonial fees they paid for Mbappe and Neymar are still at record levels. Despite this, the fact that they could not achieve success in the champions league must be an annoying issue for them. I think one of the most important reasons for this is that they are not working with the right coach yet. Even if they find the right coach to achieve this, they should give him at least 2-3 years. Even if a good coach starts working at PSG, I think he needs time to turn the team into a team that can win the champions league.
