French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Jody.Drummer]

PSG may end up losing the title here and there time to time if you ask me, they already did to Lille and that may happen again in the future. I do not know when it would happen, the deadline for Mbappe contract situation is over now, so he is definitely and officially free to go next season and PSG is adamant about selling him, he is on sale without a doubt.

I don't know what will come out of this, it is not going to be easy and looking at how Real Madrid needs a striker, even though they may end up getting him for free next summer, whatever his one year worths, they should be willing to pay for that much. That would really be good, maybe not 300 million, but pay like 100-150 million to get him, they have that kind of money and would be so much better this year too.

It is true that the July 31 deadline for the contract renewal given by PSG management to Mbappe has expired, Mbappe will automatically be sold without the slightest doubt by PSG this summer. Reportedly PSG will report Real Madrid to FIFA in the near future, PSG suspects that Madrid have reached an underhand agreement with Mbappe and approached his players without their permission. I think this will add to the complexity of the French national team striker's transfer process.

It could be that the pressure received by PSG due to Real Madrid actions will result in Mbappe being sold to rival club Barcelona. There are rumors Barca are working out a strategy to sign Mbappe and swap him for three of their players Gavi, Dembele and Raphinha.

It is very natural that they suspect things like this, but in my opinion it does not matter because in this case Mbappe has the full right to make a decision whether he will extend the contract or vice versa.
If Paris Siant Germain want to report because maybe they have violated Real Madrid, then they have to do that, and later it will be the board's decision whether there are indeed violations committed by Real Madrid or not.
But I feel that the suspicion is based on their disappointment because the player they really want does not want to extend his contract.

In fact, that's not just about French League but in Bundesliga, we have the same situation and some other teams will never get the chance to race in the league for the top place of the table while Bayern Munich usually wins the title.
That's because of the more investment they do in the teams like PSG and compared to all other teams they have a much better financial situation.

That's quite logical, because a team with a very good financial level and daring to make steps to invest in buying players and releasing players who are no longer needed are teams that are always competing to win titles so in the Bundesliga and French League itself this is always easier. seen because there are only two or one team who always make different steps so that the results they get are also very clear at the end of the season. An example is the team you said, PSG and Bayern Munich.

But unfortunately, PSG's capacity is limited to Ligue 1 and has not been able to dominate the Champions League so far. In fact, last season PSG has done well by bringing in star players who are very experienced in winning Champions League titles. But again and again, PSG still fails because competing teams have better management. Entering the new season, but it seems that the squad PSG has is also not as good as last season so yes, to go further in the Champions League it will still be difficult despite the fact that PSG has good finances. Also, to get good dominance in Ligue 1 next season, I think at this moment maybe PSG will be a little doubtful too to be able to defend and win back the Ligue 1 trophy.

PSG has not had a remarkable performance in the Champions League so far only once they went to the Champions League final and that season they lost the Champions League to Bayern Munich then they did not do well in the Champions League again. PSG are all-time favorites in Ligue 1 but PSG cannot be found in tournaments outside of Ligue 1. I know why PSG lost their consistency in the Champions League which resulted in them exiting the Champions League every season only with disappointment. In 2022-23 season PSG was one of the most star studded team because in that season PSG had all the world class stars but even in that season PSG did not do well in Champions League at all.  
After a poor performance in the Champions League last season, several players left the club and PSG changed managers. If the PSG team is rebuilt with a combination of some world-class star players, they will do well in the Champions League.

PSG needs experienced players in attack. This is PSG's main weakness at the moment. We still don't know which players Enrique is considering as replacements for Messi and Mbappe. On the other hand, even though PSG's defense has experienced players, their performance is not good. Luis Enrique needs to work more on PSG's defense. I think Luis Enrique will add new players to PSG's attack and midfield soon.
Despite PSG's defeat, Tader's gameplay has seen some improvement. In the previous match, they lost 3-2 against Japanese team Cerezo Osaka.

Agreed, PSG has been showing horrible performance. It has so many shoots but only a few were on targets. PSG was always dominating the ball possessions, but it could not maximize the chance. That makes the club was missing a lot of opportunities.
PSG really needs good attacking lines. The current players were so bad in having proper finishing. Asensio and soler were playing so badly during the match. I don't even think PSG will able to compete in UCL with the this quality.
PSG's level is far lower compared with the last season. No doubt if so many people were predicting PSG to leave from the UCL after it was playing in the group stage.

Intermilan is still adapting with the new striker. Marcus thuram was not able performing as good as lukeku when he becomes a partner for lautaro martinez. There must be so many evaluations for PSG in attacking lines.
Buying a new striker is a must for PSG. I saw that how enrique was rotating the players in attacking lines.

PSG really played much worse than they could, especially in attack. But you have to take into account that it was a friendly match, which is not very interesting and not important for both clubs. And the main thing is that Inter are finalists of last season's Champions League. So this is a club actually stronger than PSG of Messi and Mbappe's time. So it's not surprising that they lost this game.

These rumors are spread by those who know nothing about football, but nevertheless a very funny rumor 
As for the secret agreement between Real Madrid and Mbappe, either it is completely legal, or it is really secret and PSG can complain anywhere, but they have no evidence, so their complaints will remain empty words. If it were otherwise, we would have already seen specific accusations and not whining spread through 3rd parties.

[Distraction]

It is just too difficult for PSG to lose the title to another team in the league. They need to make an extra effort to cause that to happen. The season in which Lille became the champions was exactly like that. I'm not underestimating the effort Lille made throughout the season of course. But PSG's losing more points than usual was a big help.

The previous season was also a candidate for that but Lens wasted some serious opportunities while we were getting close to the end of the season. PSG are going to have a fresh start with Luis Enrique with a different system maybe. But I still don't think they would lose the league title anyway.

Sometimes rumors are exaggerated or exaggerated by someone who doesn't know the original story even though we ourselves, who are often here reading all the news, dont necessarily know the truth of every rumor that is here and I am a little surprised if the Kylian Mbappe problem is linked to Real Madrid mistakes, that very ridiculous .
Even though Real Madrid are not really after this player, they are waiting for Kylian Mbappe to become a free agent or if not Paris SG lowers the contract price, but I admit that it is possible between Real Madrid and Paris SG and Kylian Mbappe to negotiate, but that does not mean that this is Real Madrid fault.

What I see, IMO, PSG is changing their philosophy and this team is currently managed by Luis Enrique. now PSG is not really targeting big star players, after failing with their mega project. now, Enrique will only bring in the players his squad needs. I still believe that PSG will continue to dominate the Ligue 1 competition. Because after all, PSG is too strong for the teams under it to compete with them. It's only natural, because we know that PSG has abundant resources from a financial standpoint. as many others have said, that competition is likely to remain a Farmers League. although to be honest, I'm reluctant to say it like that.

As for the Mbappe saga, we'll see how far it goes. but before this summer window closes, PSG must bring in the players the coach needs. Dembele, it looks like he will leave because they have agreed even though it is verbal. the rest, Enrique needs a midfielder like Bernardo Silva. also, they need a pure striker. well, let's see how far the new coach will take PSG.
As for Lens, the only thing that has made them able to go so far is thanks to the match schedule which is not as busy as the other teams. now, they will take part in several competitions. if, they don't deepen their squad. this team, can not be expected too much for the 2023/2024 season.

The problem with these rumors, which have been appearing in various variations lately, is not that their information is not true, but that they are fundamentally wrong. PSG cannot sell Mbappe anywhere without his will. PSG can't sell Mbappe at all - they can only agree to a forfeit if Mbappe moves to another club before the end of the contract. But in the rumors, Mbappe is described as a slave who can be sold anywhere.

Kylan mbappe is not just any player but a world class player that won't be push or forced to go play for an inferior league because of money or unwilling, my statement is in regards to the rumors that PSG accepted an all time bid from a Saudi league that was said to be turned down by him, of course no player of such quality as young as he is would leave a club competing for a  high level European tournament to go play for in league that's developing recently without and major trophy or competition
 I don't think any amount of money would persuade mbappe to move to any teams that's not participating in the Champions League competition, it's either he moves to any top European team before the transfer window ends or remains in his current team and challenged for the champions league tittle until his contract expires next season but there's rumors that's he's secretly in talks with Realmadrid and has has and agreement secretly, if the rumors turns true and he moves to the Spanish gaints then that would very beneficial to both side and would help him in his career.

...Reportedly PSG will report Real Madrid to FIFA in the near future, PSG suspects that Madrid have reached an underhand agreement with Mbappe and approached his players without their permission. I think this will add to the complexity of the French national team striker's transfer process.

Haha yaaa,this is reportedly 
The drama is still ongoing.
I really don't understand how this drama continues. The point is that it seems that PSG still want Mbappe to stay at the club and really don't hope that Real Madrid can get Mbappe, except for a super fantastic price that can make high profits for PSG itself. And for some reason, Real Madrid's business is also like that, is it true according to what is rumored or is it just an accusation? If true, wouldn't this actually hinder the desire to bring in Mbappe? But actually, if it's just deeptalk to Mbappe, isn't this normal? haha
Real Madrid really want to bring Mbappe to Bernebau and it is still very difficult.
Not to mention now that I'm hearing rumors that Chelsea have also made an offer for Mbappe, right?

The fact about PSG and their recent games is they had bad times without Mbappe. In the match between PSG and Al Nasr, in the match between PSG and Cerezo Osaka, and even against Inter Milan in the recent friendly match they had. In fact, they usually had more control over the game but the sad thing about PSG is they couldn't win the games and have a good performance without Mbappe.
Now this totally makes sense when PSG is trying to keep Mbappe for the next season at anymore.

[Leviathan.007]

It was quite an enjoyable match. PSG has a lot of weaknesses inside it's pretty clear. However, PSG's gameplay is stabilizing somewhat due to Luis Enrique's match strategy.

Just checked the stats for this game and really unbelievable to see PSG had 68 percent possession in this game which is much more than Inter Milan but in the end they could win the game and they had more passes in this game but it seems PSG had huge problems with their forwards and they need to hire better strikers for the next season or they are going to have problems.

PSG's attempt to sign Osimhen or Kane will be challenging because of the obstacles. Napoli is protecting Osimhen, and Kane has already agreed to join Bayern. The chance owned by PSG to recruit kane or osimhen is almost zero.
PSG must shift to another striker and kolo muani can be considered as a good candidate for a new striker. Kolo muani was fast, and he has very good skill in creating goals. Kolo muani has been competing with some strong striker last season in the bundesliga.
He gonna be a good add for the club caused by muani has very good productivity last year. His price was not so high like osimhen or kane. PSG can compete with another club to get him easily from the bundesliga club.

PSG have been left frustrated in their pursuits of Kane and Osimhen this summer. While Kane himself is keen on joining Bayern Munich, Napoli have set a massive price of €200 million on their star striker Osimhem which has prompted the Ligue 1 giants to look away.
As a result, the club has now renewed its interest in Eintracht Frankfurt forward, Randal Kolo Muani,

https://www.goal.com/en/news/psg-frankfurt-randal-kolo-muani-frustrated-victor-osimhen-harry-kane-pursuits/blt42dc1085b6ffa895

As reported by goal if PSG is still trying to get him right now. The club shall have agreed with the fees given by frankfurt to get him.

I strongly believe muani gonna be a good striker to replace mbappe. He is an underrated striker.

I know Harry Kane is very close to Bayern Munich and there is even a chance for him to sign his contract with the Germans soon but the fact about this idea is Bayern Munich still could offer the money they should and Tottenham does not agree with this money while PSG is a rich team and they are even ready to pay more for a player like Kane if they really need him.

But about Osimhen everything is different and Napoli is trying hard to keep this player in the team for another season and that's why they increased the price for this player and there are not meant teams they want to hire Osimhen for next season at this price unless PSG make some money form Mbappe and pay it for players like Kane or Osimhen.

Watching the friendly, it was a tough game and I think Inter Milan is ready for the new season, I'm afraid I can't say the same for the Parisians. Losing in pre-season friendlies did not leave a favorable impression on Luis Enrique as the new manager, and he needs to examine out a positive atmosphere to know exactly what he needs to do to revitalize the club and bring right back the winning glory. PSG has shortcomings and Inter Milan put their attention on the defensive lines, committing mistakes throughout the game. PSG possessed the necessary dominance to defeat Inter Milan, but due to their reluctance, everything dropped short.

[rendravolt]

Every team has its period, but if you talk about it, Juventus has also dominated Serie A for a very long time and finally in the last few seasons they are now unable to compete again to occupy the throne. I think PSG and Bayern Munich really have it all, especially since they don't really have enough competitors to threaten the title they have every season. However, if the management has problems or is not right in building the squad, I think both of them can experience the same thing as Juventus in Serie A. As a big team in Ligue 1, PSG must immediately clean up all the noise and must prove that they are able to remain consistent. Don't let other teams take advantage of their current weakness.

PSG may end up losing the title here and there time to time if you ask me, they already did to Lille and that may happen again in the future. I do not know when it would happen, the deadline for Mbappe contract situation is over now, so he is definitely and officially free to go next season and PSG is adamant about selling him, he is on sale without a doubt.

I don't know what will come out of this, it is not going to be easy and looking at how Real Madrid needs a striker, even though they may end up getting him for free next summer, whatever his one year worths, they should be willing to pay for that much. That would really be good, maybe not 300 million, but pay like 100-150 million to get him, they have that kind of money and would be so much better this year too.

Losing the title can happen to any club including PSG, therefore they must be able to build a squad more without relying on one player. Regarding Kylian Mbappe, I read the news that PSG will report Real Madrid to FIFA because indirectly the Spanish team has reached a personal agreement with Kylian Mbappe for a fee of 160 million euros and PSG seems very sure about his accusations. On the other hand, even if there is another agreement, it seems that PSG is also very sure that Mbappe and Real Madrid have agreed to meet later in 2024 and that is probably what makes PSG so annoyed that they want to take this case to court.

I think PSG is exaggerating because after all, as a player, Mbappe also has the right to accept offers if outside parties contact him, especially since everyone knows that Mbappe's only goal is Real Madrid. So PSG should be more open and sincere about their players to be able to get a better future. After all, Mbappe has also been so loyal to PSG over the past few years and when his contract is about to expire it's clear he wants to decide for himself and doesn't want to be held back by PSG.

Despite PSG's defeat, Tader's gameplay has seen some improvement. In the previous match, they lost 3-2 against Japanese team Cerezo Osaka.

In this match it looked like Enrique wanted to try to explore some of his players in new positions.
Like Asensio, who has always been a winger but has been used as a targetman even though it is also often done in Madrid but we also know Asensio's performance is a little less if he is in that position.
Another example is Vitinha who was forced to move up to right winger which is a little off his original position.

Their possession is still just as dire but looking at the chances created I think there is still a lot of work to be done.
But the good thing in this case is that their squad is not in the mode of some players who just dominate because they act as a team not as individuals which i like.

So, they get a new coach, and make a huge recruitment, and this team hasn't progressed, but rather regressed. The only cohesion the team has from this game is fetching the ball from their net and making excuses. Unbelievable. The results of this tour already say a lot; the season hasn't even started, and it seems like PSG fans are in for a long run. We don't need to be a psychic to know that this year, the Ligue 1 will be a real pain to follow, and the team will be eliminated very early in the Champions League and the Coupe de France. Nothing matters if they don't win; it's the result that matters.

Current PSG line up on pre season match against Inter Milan looks Luis Henrique still adopted formation with false nine and Marco Asensio
filled as number 9, its not effective although as pre season match result is not important but PSG have find new striker before first Ligue 1 match begin on Augustus 13 against Lorient. Little disappointed with PSG achievement in pre season match, last three games Luis Henrique not winning yet after losing against Cerezo Osaka and Inter Milan then one draw against Al Nassr.

Its homework for Luis Henrique for preparing teams facing Ligue 1 and UEFA Champion League, its difficult find with new striker not have choose for using false nine, this favorite scheme for Luis Henrique actually with false nine use before when becoming Spain national head coach.

exactly, and I have also said several times here and in the transfer thread that all of this is something wrong because only PSG and Mbappe know the origin of this problem. and also I think PSG actually still need a player like Mbappe but because of some problem PSG has to be quiet without any confirmation in the media and also Mbappe who do not confirm anything about this problem because if one of the two confirms something wrong it will make bad things in the future or breaking the rules.
if we look at it realistically, actually this problem is very easy to understand, but sometimes the media spreads false rumors just to make the global situation worse, even though it is clear that Mbappe will continue to be at PSG until the end of his contract, even though in this pre-season match Mbappe do not seem to be absent, but Im sure he will Mbappe will be absent there later in the competition.

It's just friendly matches, they got a new coach, it doesn't always work like that the team starts to win all at once, and you just look at the starting lineups of the team in these matches, Enrique clearly wants to see all the players who are capable of what, and in official games will be completely different, and the result will be different. Despite the changes, PSG still has a lot of good players.

@Cryptmuster PSG player’s are clearly distracted due to the Mbappe saga and the longer it continues it’ll keep on effecting the team hence PSG board should immediately sort this out. Also Enrique is an experienced coach and he’ll definitely get good results with the team but he’ll surely need more time and a fully focused squad to get the desired results on the pitch.
