French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Leviathan.007]

Next season in French League will be really interesting because many players left PSG even with all these players, PSG had a close race with Lance until the end of the season.
While in the next season when PSG loses many of these players they will have even harder days to win even the French league.

Luis Enrique can be great as a coach especially for Neymar as Neymar played under him for a long time at Barcelona. PSG should have thought about these issues earlier but instead of thinking about good quality coaches, they just hired good quality players with high salaries. First of all the team needs a good quality manager, if a good quality manager is appointed in the team then good players will surely come in the team if there are no financial problems. Since PSC has no financial problems, if they hire good quality managers, they can take their club much further with like-minded players in their team.  

Luis Enrique may be considered by PSG. PSG will definitely do well if they make the team with him.

So far, rumors of PSG approach to Luis Enrique are blowing fast on social media. Where Luis Enrique is allegedly going to be PSG coach for next season. But several factors strengthened me he is a coach full of long experience in coaching big teams and star players so it would be very suitable for PSG to choose him to be coach for next season. I see that PSG is almost the same as Chelsea lately because these two teams have the same difficulty finding the right coach so their performance is relatively unstable when changing coaches is often done. Therefore, PSG management must really understand their targets for next season where they must show a coach who has great instincts in bringing the club to a prestigious trophy like the UCL. Apart from that, PSG management must give a lot of time and full support to the coach in the long term because it is impossible for the new coach to immediately give them the UCL trophy.

Luis Enrique is a successful manager before anything else. He even has experience about winning the Champions League title. PSG need a manager just like him to reach their main target of course. However his game plan is quite different than PSG's. Therefore I wonder what kind of a team we would watch in case he signs for PSG officially.

PSG players are used to play really fast unlike Enrique's game plan. Enrique should make some changes in his style if he wants to make use of Mbappe's talent at the highest level. Mbappe is playing very effectively thanks to fast attacks as he can win most of one-on-ones against defenders. Otherwise I don't know how good they can do.

[rendravolt]

The power of a club is absolute, but if later Enrique expects Neymar to stay at PSG, of course that will be a serious consideration for next season's competition. I think that even if there was no Neymar, PSG would still win the Ligue 1 title and they would still need new players to enter a more difficult competition, namely the champions league. At the moment PSG have not had many rumors regarding the players they will sign in the summer and I think they should do it soon because a team like Lens will be one of their competitors in Ligue 1 next season.

I see Luis Enrique and Zidane are both near to PSG and they still didn't officially say anything about their new coach.
Zidane is a successful coach and he had a good performance in Real Madrid when he was working there but he didn't work in other teams I think Enrique on the other hand because of the tactic he usually uses can't be a good option for PSG.
Also, doesn't really matter if Enrique wants to work with Neymar or not because the Neymar we see recently in PSG is far from what we saw in Barcelona.

Regarding the candidates for the next PSG coach, I think that neither Zidane nor Enrique have a high capacity to manage a top European club and PSG should at least choose one of these coaching candidates to become PSG coach starting next season. But as far as I've seen and heard Zidane's chances of managing PSG are slim and Enrique is closer to being able to do the job. Surely Enrique will need Neymar as the spearhead of PSG and that will also evoke a bit of nostalgia for the two of them like they did at Barcelona. Maybe the thing that should be avoided for Neymar is the injury that often threatens his career in football.

losing some of the best players PSG has won't discourage Christophe Galtier but this is like a challenge for Galtier to be able to get a league 1 title in the summer without his flagship player. but I think for this season PSG still has Mbappe to be a mainstay player for the next season.
regarding the loss of other players, I know that if PSG sells some of its players, the PSG management will definitely find replacements.

But as far as I've seen and heard Zidane's chances of managing PSG are slim and Enrique is closer to being able to do the job.

Zidane won 3 Champions League with Real Madrid and he did not succeed when he returned to Real Madrid a second time. He has won biggest titles as a club coach and he no longer has bigger targets with clubs. What he ambitiously wants is winning World Cup and Euro with France as their national coach. If Zidane takes over the coach position in PSG, he will have to wait till 2025 or 2026 or 2028, after Euro 2024, World Cup 2026 and till Euro 2028 to manage France national team. It is a very long waiting time and in 2026 or 2028, will France still have a strong squad like now?

I believe Zidane will wait one more year to see chances with France national team and he will reject any offer from PSG.

Surely Enrique will need Neymar as the spearhead of PSG and that will also evoke a bit of nostalgia for the two of them like they did at Barcelona. Maybe the thing that should be avoided for Neymar is the injury that often threatens his career in football.

Neymar at PSG is different than Neymar who worked with Enrique years ago in Barcelona. He is now older and more vulnerable with injuries especially with his sensitive ankles.  Enrique understands Neymar but will they be able to cooperate well again, I don't know and mainly because of Neymar contribution is uncertain with his injury history.

we will have to see how they will start the season for at least their form in the first 4-5 games. it is important for PSG to measure how prepared their team is with several players who leave.
if it feels they are struggling too much to compete with other teams in Ligue 1, it is possible that they will spend quite a lot of money in the winter transfer market. however PSG is a big team, and they have big ambitions also in Europe.

My attention will be on the strasbourg since this club's stake already bought by chelsea. I hope that there will be vast improvements to happen with this club in french league. Strasbourg may be having better performance next season compared with last season.
We will not see some superstars again next season in PSG. Since messi has gone and PSG is now getting less attention from various parties.
PSG-related stuff is what we're focused on now.

Coach
Mbappe
Neymar

These things have not clear yet. Everything is still remain uncertain at this moment. So many rumors linked to the PSG and it's always related to those things.
It will far better if PSG try to solve those problems as soon as possible before the end of transfer season.

Luis Enrique is a manager who loves discipline and he knows how to work with players like Neymar. Therefore, he already has a telephone conversation with Neymar and said that he would like to see him in the team. You can understand him, he will now seek to keep most of the team, because it is very difficult to start all over again. PSG is a very strong team and they practically have all the players in order to achieve their goals. Leaving Messi will not be critical, because Mbappe and Neymar remain in the team. Luis Enrique is currently one of the best options that PSG could have chosen.

Right now situation is very interesting because many big stars are going to leave with Mbappé is also centre of talk with his words about he doesn't want to extend his contract and PSG management which is having huge funds wants to sell him if he not like to extend, and now we have one of the best person as coach which can change the fortune of this club with his way of play and experience as well even mostly are going few players want to stay, and now Luis Enrique is also wanting Neymar to stay here for the next season as well which is interesting.

But one thing is still certain as now we will have PSG no strong as we have them in last few years specially in Ligue 1 we will have good fight for the title and few teams will also try their best for having stay near to close PSG which will create good entertainment for the fans as well.

Things tearing apart at Parc des Princes, however there's always room for amendment. PSG loses most of their key players this season, but they're still vibrant in terms of performance, so I have no expectation for them to perform terribly; rather, I expect them to make improvements. The board is hoping to hire a notable coach this summer after the last Frenchman, Galtier Christophe, failed to deliver on the job. We are all expecting a refreshing dip in PSG performance next season, but we should not be surprised when they are at their top; winning Ligue One has always been a simple fight for the Parisians.

Luis Enrique even worked with Neymar for three seasons at Barcelona. Neymar was in the Barcelona squad that won the Champions League title in Luis Enrique's management. Therefore yeah he definitely knows how to deal with Neymar. But Neymar's being injury-prone is still a negative side for PSG next season as well.

I don't know if Neymar would leave this summer just as Messi did. If he doesn't I assume he would stay for one last season and no more. Because Neymar has been giving the signals to leave for a long time. At least the news has been stating that for a long time.

If he stays now PSG wouldn't need to work on filling his place as well at least for now.

This transfer season, PSG will lose several players it is clear that Messi, Mbappe and also Neymar, but these three players are PSG's core players, so it will be difficult for the club if they do not get replacements the same for all three players.
But are you sure this will be a bad start for PSG because they have lost their best players and only got poor substitutes?

Even though this is still a rumor but most of us believe that it will happen in the future.

In my opinion, i do not think that PSG will find it difficult if they lose Neymar, Mbappe and Messi (already left for Inter Miami) this summer window. It was inevitable to happen since the worldcup2022 ended and i would be shocked if the PSG management did not plan for this. Instead of pressuring Mbappe, i think PSG should begin to look for quality valuavle replacement from their academy or even the french league itself.

But Neymar, Mbappe and Messi are players who have potential and can be relied on for PSG.
What I mean by difficulty does not mean it is difficult if you lose these three players but it is difficult to find better replacements than Neymar, Mbappe and Messi for next season.
I believe PSG has everything to be able to get great players, it's just that for this transfer season, several other teams have started to take on many great and young players.

PSG for the French League are still the best but for the Champions League they can't do much so they need players who have quality skills to survive in the Champions League next season.

The countdown started for Luis Enrique or any other coach who wants to start working on PSG because no matter which coach starts to work on PSG, in the end, the important thing about PSG is they are losing players and the team is destroying, while other teams are gathering player for the net season, PSG is still seeking for the coach to get the list of the players he needs for the next season and this can take more time from them.

[TheGreatPython]

The problem is that PSG always fails to reach the final Champion League even in the last 2 seasons their steps stopped in the last 16 obviously this is not an achievement that can be proud of, so it is normal if PSG is looking for a new manager. When compared to Manchester City clearly the achievements were different because they go to the final 2 times until they finally became champions. Actually when a team like PSG has many star players it will be more difficult to manage it, there are always obstacles related to egoism and other things.

Here most of the time in past few years PSG management try to win Champions League after investing huge funds and having long list of big players now they need to bring changes in their mindset as well because only money can't give them win they also need to have soccer heart as well which will surely helps them for having better results now first time we have too many stars are out of the team new coach is well experienced and understand all conditions which will helps them to win, but main thing is now they need to give him time which is also important this can take two or three years as well because without this it's not possible wins been never came in overnight it's mostly takes time like we have in case of Manchester City hopefully if they will understand this all win will be occurred soon for them in all competitions.

Actually mbappe will still extend his contract with Paris SG so there is still a chance for Paris SG to continue his strong performance even without Messi and Neymar.
I agree that Paris SG will still dominate League 1, but it will be a little difficult to dominate in the Champions League later because only Mbappe can be relied on.
Without messi and Neymar Paris SG is a little weaker.

The progress to recruit him is moving so slow. I meant the problem with mbappe has not yet solved and PSG is now facing another problem since mbappe has been threatening PSG to fulfil his contract and leave from the club next year as free agent.
The chance for PSG to get enrique as a new coach is really big right now. I have no problem with him as a new coach for PSG but the process must be faster.
It's caused by PSG needs to rebuild the club again. It takes so much time to make it happen even though enrique will be made fast movement to recruit some new players as preparation for next season.
It's boring waiting for an announcement from PSG regarding who's gonna be a new coach.

[youdacapt]

 
PSG-related stuff is what we're focused on now.

Coach
Mbappe
Neymar
 

I still believe that the biggest reason why PSG is yet to find a coach to sign with them is because of the uncertainties surrounding the clubside. There are several questions that begs for answer in the PSG team.

1. Does Mbappe stay or leave to Real Madrid?
2. What happens to Neymar?
3. Ageing defense line, and poor midfield options, are there plans and funds to improve the team?
4. Terrible squad depth; what plans have PSG got to offer?
5. Messi is off to USA; Any plans for replacement?
6. Given 1-5, what is the Job security that PSG offers?

PSG Board need to find answers and build the team efficiently and accordingly too. They are going into pre-season with ageing squad and teenagers

Without messi and Neymar Paris SG is a little weaker.

The solution is not as simple as mbappe to extend his contract with PSG. There is also another problem like mbappe will not agree to leave from the club until there will be an agreement with PSG to make sure he will not be losing his money.
This problem is still in talk between mbappe's side and PSG. The only problem is that PSG was not wanna let him go with cheap price. PSG demands his buyer with exorbitant price.

Real madrid has become the strongest candidate to buy him but the problem was on his agreement with PSG. Tbh if i can't understand properly what he meant about losing 150 millions to the PSG.
Is it related to his contract with PSG or what?
Still waiting for further development from mbappe's case. I hope everything will be clear before the transfer season will be closed.

The effect of leaving Messi and Neymar will certainly be seen in PSG's performance. PSG will change their coach. And it is likely that PSG will build their squad after the change of coach. In the last few seasons, PSG has spent a lot of money but not gotten good results. They have failed every time in the Champions League. Luis Enrique is rumored to be PSG's coach. And Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. And he can change the entire situation of PSG if he takes charge of PSG.

[dezoel]

Messi wasn't the reason they won so many titles before he arrived, they got titles before him and would get one after him as well. But Mbappe is certainly a question mark, we need to see what the teams decision will be, there is a chance he may get sold off, and he doesn't want that unless team agrees to pay a huge amount of money, and team wouldn't want that but we are going to see what's going to happen with him.

I think the better move for his career could be going to Madrid but for some reason or another he just doesn't do it this season, he insists on going there next season and I am not entirely sure why "money" means so much when we all know he ain't getting stiffed, Madrid would pay him too, not like he is giving up money, he will be paid.
