French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[borovichok]

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.

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 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.

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.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

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

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.

[Oneandpure]

PSG transfer window activities seems slowly and looks not hurry up for signing new player, after success signing Marco Asensio and Manuel Ugarte last week and not any rumor will sign new player again. Actually, PSG need signing head coach as soon possible after sacking Christophe Galtier and right now still not find who will replace head coach position. I think PSG need to find head coach first to make close all rumor about Mbappe future.

Mbappe's future with PSG is still uncertain, even though Mbappe has made it clear that he will stay until his contract ends next season, but PSG could sell this season if they don't want to loss him without get fees tranfer.

Real Madrid seems to be getting their target, namely Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Kylian Mbappe. According to growing reports that Madrid agreed a transfer fee of 250 million Euros

I don't know whether the rumors above are true or not, but with an offer as fantastic as this, PSG will definitely be interested in releasing Mbappe to play for Real Madrid (Reportedly this transfer value will break the world record)

by the way, keeping mbappe at PSG will only hurt PSG even more, not to mention the possibility that he will run out of contract and leave on a free transfer. With Madrid, Mbappe's future will definitely be very good.

Marcelino Garcia Toral, or better known as Marcelino, officially became the new coach of Olympique Marseille (OM) on Wednesday, 21 June 2023.

other news, marseille officially gets a new coach and garcia is expected to boost competitiveness with PSG in ligue 1.

While in the next season when PSG loses many of these players they will have even harder days to win even the French league.

It's unbelievable to see how PSG's management is acting slowly in terms of the coach and players they should hire for next season if they still want to win Ligue 1 and the Champions League, in my opinion PSG's management knows nothing about soccer, It's unbelievable the mistakes that have constantly been made, a few seasons ago psg had di maria and many other good players in the team, but they sold and brought in neymar who doesn't play at all and doesn't help the team at all, he stays the whole season without playing and as if all these mistakes weren't serious enough they hired coaches without much experience in winning the champions league

I wonder how the hell does PSG think about winning the Champions League with Luis Enrique? How does PSG think about winning the Champions League with these current players? even Ligue 1 will be very difficult for PSG to win, they don't have a good squad and they don't have a good coach, it seems to me that the owner of PSG no longer has the motivation to see the team going far and PSG's management should be fired and other people, but unfortunately that won't happen anytime soon, we will still see layoffs next season when the results are not good

Yes, if PSG have sacked Christophe Galtier then of course PSG must move quickly to bring in a better and of course experienced head coach. Because, if PSG really want to have a good chance in the Champions League, then of course PSG must have a head coach who of course is used to managing teams in competition in the Champions League as well. But yes, if PSG have the right head coach then it is possible that Mbappe will again change his mind. But, if PSG don't bring in the right coach then of course, Mbappe will leave and PSG will always find it hard to be the best in Europe.

I agree with you; it seems that they should build a team with wisdom and foresight. They shouldn't simply buy star players without considering other factors. The truth is, we have seen that having star players in a team does not guarantee its success. I believe it is also important to promote players from the junior team to the senior team. Barcelona, for example, has done this remarkably well with their La Masia academy. They have bought star players but also paired them with talented young players. I believe this approach is an excellent formula. If they want to win the Champions League next season, they should consider employing this strategy.

Today, I am reminded of PSG. Just like Abramovich transformed Chelsea into a strong team in the EPL and Europe, PSG won their first Champions League title after nearly 10 years of building their squad. During that time, they brought in numerous star players and sold them, along with changing coaches and staff. However, they also retained players like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, and Drogba for long-term purposes. The result, after a 10-year wait and hard work, was their triumph in the 2011-2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich, even though it was through a dramatic penalty shootout. PSG should learn from Chelsea's experience in squad building if they want to experience being the kings of Europe.

[Leviathan.007]

Unlike the last season we saw from PSG, they didn't say anything yet about the new players they want to buy for their team. I think they are going to first players to replace Messi and some other superstars they left PSG this season.
Currently, Marco Asensio and Milan Škriniar are two players from Real Madrid and Inter Milan they are very close to signing a contract with PSG for next 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.

But there are also those who come after being loaned, I mean PSG loaned many players in the previous season and next season they will have many players to fill the depth of the squad. After returning from various clubs, I think maybe the performance of the players on loan has improved, one of them is Mauro Icardi. In the Turkish League he has successfully scored many goals for Galatasaray and won the title, there is a possibility that he will fill PSG starting eleven in new season.

I guess, actually Enrique still needed Neymar services. He was an important part of Enrique plans, but considering Neymar often suffer injuries at PSG, this made Enrique position perhaps go awry.

If i'm not mistaken, i've read based on some sports media. if Luis Enrique became PSG coach, Neymar would not be forced to stay at the Parc des Prices. if I interpret his statement, he emphasized that he gave the choice to the player and at the same time to the club. which means, if Neymar stays with PSG under Enrique's tutelage. The trainer doesn't mind.  "if we refer to his statement."
but if, PSG will sell Neymar in the transfer market window next summer. is there a club that is willing to bring in a pretty fantastic price, while now he is 31 years old. plus, the player is prone to injury. although there are several rumors reporting that a club from the Saudi Pro League is interested in signing him. even other rumors, Neymar refused the offer. even though I'm not sure about the legitimacy of this report.

Well, we agree, if basically Neymar is a player who is still worth defending. in fact, she could be an important part of Enrique's plans. that is why also, several statements were made by Luis Enrique.
apart from all that, let's just wait for every further development of PSG.

Icardi a great player that I don't know how the hell he ended from Inter Milan in Serie A where he was doing more than fine to go and play for Galatasaray,that is what a wifey like his can do to a person professional career as Wanda Nara dragged him extremely down psychologically and this guy lost it all,then they try to be again together in PSG but that went wrong also so he ended up in Galatasaray,a team of high level in Turkey where he finally found his natural talent of scoring games and winning the title with them which I think he is now finally ready to be playing again at high levels with Paris.
