French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Ryu_Ar1]

In fact, the team will be stronger if each player can develop a great understanding with each player on the team. This matter is not in the PSG team, I hope the team management will make some great additions in the next season and bring a great understanding in the team and the team will be able to perform well.

You are right. Although PSG had a strong squad, the understanding between the players was not good. This is why PSG cannot perform well in Champions League matches. PSG is expected to make a lot of changes within the team next season. They will release several players and include new players in the squad. This is why I say PSG's performance is likely to be unstable. New players are less likely to adapt quickly to the team. New players need time to adapt to the team. Also, I don't think PSG's coach is very experienced. I wouldn't be surprised if the PSG management decides to change their coach again next season.

PSG has the MNM Trio, they are really sharp when playing together. unfortunately when one of them is injured, it has an impact on the team's performance as a whole. because the problem is not that the players lack understanding, but that the midfield players are not very competent. I mean, PSG doesn't have a creative midfield player, as well as a defensive midfielder and it's made worse by the system that Galtier applies. let's see, Galter tends to play 3 defenders on the defensive line. whereas, Ramos' age, Danilo, is not young. that is, they often lose in terms of running speed contests.

To be honest, I don't really know if it's the fault of the coach, technical director or PSG management. what is certain, if PSG is not handled by competent people, this team will find it difficult to lift the Champions League trophy. This season, Messi has been confirmed to leave, Neymar is still confusing. so, if PSG wants to be equal at the level of Europe's top clubs. at the very least, they have to bring in quality players not only for centre-forwards, wings, but several other line players as well. no exception, with a coach who has a good track record in the Champions League competition.

I quite agree in this case because even though in this case their squad is luxurious with the contents of several big players who have triumphed or are currently pursuing their careers, it is clear that age is still a problem in this case.
Their attacking trio is good but the midfield even though it is filled with some players who are actually quite good like Vitinha and Verrati for example but that clearly does not change the situation because their midfield is still not able to maximize in this case.
On the other hand for the defensive line I also agree, age does not lie in this case because indeed seeing from the speed of some young attackers or wingers whose average quality of running is quite good is a little difficult to balance with defenders like Sergio who is already approaching the end.

The monotony of Galtier's schemes actually I think is a problem too in the end because of course this is seen when the schemes they do are mostly the same even though we consider it the best technique with the strengths we have but with that monotony so their attacks or strategies in the match are easier to read.

I think the coach of PSG team is failing to implement strategy. How to create great combinations with each other is a matter of opinion among players. Also, PSG's defense is facing serious problems, who are failing to give their best performance.

[Polkeins]

It's another league title for PSG! Let's to be honest, there's nothing exciting about them winning the French league title. What I just what to say that when you have some of the world’s best players in your squad, it's almost expected that you'll come out on top. Confirming the Champions League is PSG's most significant challenge, as it represents the ultimate destination they are striving for years after years. With such an incredible pool of talent, it seems almost unfair that they haven't managed to claim the trophy yet. Looking at this team, it's hard to argue against them being the strongest side in Europe, but unfortunately, they've failed badly so far. But say congratulations.

The best players don't guarantee to make the club scary the fact is that even PSG never made it to the semi-finals and final of the UCL, they always fail, I think they have to change a lot of players also add new quality players compared to the best players in the world, the best players are not always good even us see this season PSG only won ligue 1.

I think PSG need to buy some other best players, at least young players who can accompany Mbappe to score goals at home to their opponents, Messi is no longer a player that can be relied on even though he won the world cup, PSG needs young players who are more talented than the best players.

Didn't PSG reach the 2020 Champions League final where they lost 0-1 to Bayern?  In 2021 PSG reached the semifinals where they lost to Manchester City, but before that PSG beat Barcelona and Bavaria.
So in the Champions League PSG didn't play so bad.
As for Messi, he is the most titled player in the world and even at 35 he can score points in almost every game. In 32 games he has made 16 assists and scored 16 goals and that at 35 years old!

So it's more likely that it's not about the players, but the coach. Last years PSG had a charade, if PSG could find a coach like Guardiola, they would probably also completely dominate in Europe.

[Furious 7]

Such a record of wins at home will definitely be very valuable for Lens for the Ligue 1 competition next season and maybe they will become a new competitor for PSG if Lens can continue to be consistent. For Marseille, even though they lost, they still have a chance to play in the champions league next season, it's just that the competition will be a little more difficult because Marseille must go through the play-off round. Marseille's last opponent next week is a weak team that has no more hope in the relegation zone, namely Ajaccio, I think Marseille must close this season with a win even though it is an away game.

Now, looking at their match records, it's actually quite obvious that Lens is the favorite in this last game, so I still feel that this will be a win for Lens, especially considering the condition of the opponents, who are very different in terms of their current level and quality.
But on the other hand, this does not mean an easy victory because with the current conditions, Auxerre is actually struggling to maintain its position.
At the moment they still have a chance to survive as long as they don't do anything bad in the last game or hope that Nantes doesn't get anything from Angers.
Everything can still happen because even if Nantes wins and Auxerre draws then they still have to be relegated next season.

PSG have officially become champions, but if we are very honest, we already knew before the start of the competition that they would become champions. The fact that they did not win with great force majeure is mainly because they themselves have run into unnecessary defeats here and there. Messi's departure will have no impact on the new championship in the new year. But fans might just be happy about it. It could be that PSG without Messi might be even stronger than before. just look at how things have gone at Barcelona in relation to and without era Messi.

In the summer I think there are 2 possibilities between Paris Saint-Germain leading this table or Lens leading.
Because it looks like Lens has a strong spirit in the next season to try to win this French league after learning that Paris Saint-Germain lost Messi.
But I agree with you that if Messi leaves Paris Saint-Germain it will not have any effect because before Messi entered Paris Saint-Germain he has also been strong dominating all clubs in the French league standings and there are still many Paris Saint-Germain players who have quality. very good and better performance than messi.

[Zackgeno96]

Actually, there is little point in following the French league in the battle for the championship, isn't it? Lille became champion once 2 years ago, but we will not see that again in the next 10 years. The chance that PSG will become champion again in the coming season is about 95%. Not really worth placing a bet on that. I'm more curious if they can get the roster together what players like Ramos will do. And Mbappe, does he not want to win prizes in the CL? Then he should go to Madrid or City?

[Ryu_Ar1]

Actually it is quite realized because looking at the current conditions Galtier must also have little respect for some big players and indeed for now even though Galtier is a pretty good coach but in my opinion he is not suitable for his position at PSG at least in this case his qualifications are lacking so seeing from the luxurious squad then indirectly he is also unable to do that especially there are some great players and have more authority like Mbappe here.
Now if PSG continue to apply things like this and they don't reflect on their mistakes then I think they shouldn't expect too much from the Champions League because regardless of anything it can't be obtained even with a luxurious squad but when the coach doesn't have more qualifications then forever they will only be in the Champions League but can't do much there.

I don't think so, for sure the dominance of a team in every league will have its time and this has happened in a few seasons psg are stronger because they were able to buy some pretty good players in the transfer window so they deserve it.  Can't that be done by other teams in Ligue 1. If they want to break PSG dominance then they have to change their strategy in the transfer window.

I think psg will again buy some quality players in the next transfer window as they want to strengthen the team for next season's champions league. Mbappe being one of the star players they have I believe he is very comfortable at psg and would refuse to join any other club in this summer window.

Strasbourg VS PSG

I'm enjoying the Strasbourg vs PSG match. In this match, I expected to see PSG dominate and win by a big margin. But I am very upset with PSG's match strategy.
Strasbourg is a team at the bottom of the points table. This group is relatively weak. But even against such a team PSG team is playing defensively today. The match is not important for PSG. They won the title. Even then PSG fans don't expect results that PSG won't win in such matches. Messi and Mbappe are in PSG's attack. However, PSG only made 4 shots in the first half. I don't see any desire in them to score in the match.

Looking at the statistics in this match, even though PSG's dominance was very pronounced from the beginning to the end of the match, it seems that Strasbourg's intention to win was a little bigger and PSG really seemed to be playing in this match.
Score 1 point for each although for PSG it doesn't have any impact but it might be different for Strasbourg they avoid the relegation zone even though the current position compared to last season still looks worrying.

Strasbourg game plan was to play a draw against PSG to consolidate their escape from relegation, they played with caution against a star-studded PSG who can score goals, I think with that draw Strasbourg is now safe even a loss in their last match wouldn't make any difference. Meanwhile congratulations to Messi for breaking all time European goal scoring records of 496 one goal ahead of Ronaldo who is currently playing in a Saudi Arabian league where his goal count would not add to his last record of 495 goals, congratulations to PSG for winning Ligue 1 for 11th time proving their dominance in Ligue though I am not surprised they are big money spenders in the league.

It's still very good for them but with the attack Strasbourg has I actually hope there is at least one more goal scored even though it is difficult.
But 1 point is clearly very good for them in this match because it is certain that they will survive now, even though seeing from the standings their decline has been felt this season.

The reason why I think that Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French Ligue 1 in the next ten years or more is because of the financial strength of the club owners and unless another high spending club owners takes over the ownership of another French club, Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate.
A club that has high profile players like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe coupled with defensive veteran of Sergio Ramos, and so many other players are supposed to be crowned champions two months before the end of the league season

PSG need a good coach firsr of all. They've never had a good coach in my opinion. Tuchel was the closest they came to a good coach but even he was not enough. The management of the club keeps hiring coaches that are not fit.
The management of PSG is also to blame for the condition of the club. They do not act like a big or serious club. PSG needs good midfielders. If they do not get good midfielders they'll suffer next season without Messi. You said Messi is not longer a reliable player,well, I'll just assume you've not been watching PSG's matches. Because if you have you'd know how important Messi is to that team. Mbappe scores goals, but he needs services and Messi provides that in abundance.

The PSG management need to go back to their drawing board and figure out what they're not doing right. Keeping Mbappe at all cost while also keeping Neymar and Messi was also a bad move. This makes very difficult to improve other part of the squad.

lol finally after spending too much money and hiring superstar players while one of these players could be enough for any team PSGH just won the French league against other teams with weaker players while they didn't invest in their teams like PSG do. I think PSG should feel shame even after winning the league.

[jakdanyel]

It is the truth that the scenario would have been much more different for PSG if they didn't have this kind of a powerful attacking trio. The total contribution level of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar combined was enormous this season. The total amount of goals they scored is many more than the half of the goals the team scored. Especially Mbappe and Messi took big responsibility in critical matches to secure the title for their team.

Indeed I agree with the opinion that the real problem has been with the management style of the team. I don't have any doubt that PSG will replace their manager this summer with a much more reliable one. I thought that it was a wrong choice from the beginning already. Because Galtier was a manager with zero experience as for big teams. It was a serious risk to take while they were trying to win the Champions League title on one hand.

There are many speculations about their new manager but let's wait for more reliable news to give us some ideas.

These trio could be the reason why psg always failed at ucl as well.

You know what? The ego between the three and the dignity feeling whenever other players around these three is that clear making some players can't fully unlock the full potential due they always under the shadow of the mentioned trio , that's the dilemme for having a lot of star player.

I want to talk about a slightly different topic. Despite the fact that PSG have the best players in their team, PSG are not in any other league outside of League One which is very sad. If Lionel Messi and Neymar leave the team in the next season, how will the team be arranged?

[makishart]

I think PSG should feel shame even after winning the league.

Farmer league. That's it. There's no doubt why PSG will always be winning against another team in this league. It will be different if PSG played in EPL. There's no strong team in the league 1. I think that this is also strategy from the owner of PSG to be always winning the domestic league combined with qualifying for UCL next season. The problem is PSG has not winning mentality when it comes to the UCL competition.
I don't even know how much money needs to be spent to rebuild the team again but it's done for PSG to compete in european competition at this moment. PSG deserves better coach to make sure its club will able to compete in european competition.

Congratulation for PSG. 1 match remaining and psg is winning the league again. Boring league. People can easily gets ez money from always putting their bet into the PSG.

[flipme]

Indeed the best players don't guarantee anything. But they can carry you many steps ahead of your opponents in your league. Winning a Ligue 1 title has become like a custom for PSG you know. Because there is a significant level of quality difference with the rest of the teams and PSG have used this into their advantage by playing solidly for a long time.

The French league should have been a piece of cake for them, but they won even this league a little hard. They should have finished the season long ago with their football team. Still, they deserve a congratulation for winning the league, but if they don't plan well next season, teams like Lens or Marseille can do what Lille did 2 seasons ago. I think they need to be more careful next season.

This season hasn't been very well for PSG even in this league though because Galtier isn't the right manager for this team. Plus their performance in the Champions League has been inadequate for years. They are still unable to get even very close to the championship there. This isn't acceptable for a team like PSG of course. But they can solve this issue only with the right management.

They have many world star football players. I think they need a coach who can align the egos of star players with the chemistry of the team. Zidane is my number one favorite in this regard. I think they should have convinced him by now.

Even Strasbourg's 1 point win over Paris SG can be considered a success. We can say that they played better than Paris SG throughout the match. They deserved the win, but they didn't win. Still, it was important for them to get 1 point from such a strong team. They were guaranteed to stay in the league and can now focus on their last week's games.

[mamesso]

The reason why I think that Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French Ligue 1 in the next ten years or more is because of the financial strength of the club owners and unless another high spending club owners takes over the ownership of another French club, Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate.
A club that has high profile players like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe coupled with defensive veteran of Sergio Ramos, and so many other players are supposed to be crowned champions two months before the end of the league season

Succeeding in Dominating Ligue 1 is not a good achievement for PSG, because they should be able to excel outside Ligue 1 with the financial strength of the club owner. PSG strength in Ligue 1 is very difficult to match by other clubs, they can bring in quality players to dominate local competitions.
Behind PSG success in Ligue 1 there is still work that has not been completed, PSG still has difficulty competing in the UCL when dealing with other big clubs. The curse of the difficulty of winning the Champions League title must be removed immediately, the only way to do this is by bringing in a great coach who can improve the mentality of the players when they are in a different competition.
