[bering]

Saint Etienne finally can able to utilized their home matches with very well because yesterday they can overcomes Metz with narrow scores 2-1 and since the beginning of match Saint-Etienne take the initiative to play more attacking even Saint-Etienne can leading the game at 19 minutes of first half by Sissoko goal but Metz can able to equalized the scores and for second half Saint Etienne still slightly dominate the match and attempt to broke the defense of Metz and the result is Irvin Cardona can scored at 80 minutes and bringing Saint-Etienne to gets the winning result from this match

This result is makes Saint-Etienne can able to resumes their positive results however i know Saint-Etienne position is still not fully secured especially for second leg later they will playing at Metz home ground but at least after this result Saint-Etienne position is more comfortable than Metz and for next match Saint-Etienne only required to playing draw and considering Saint-Etienne condition which more better than Metz then i am confident for second leg later Saint-Etienne at least can playing draw and they can eliminate Metz and return to Ligue 1

psg under luis enrique might be the best team this season. PSG once assembled the best stars in the world in their club but still their team was not the best because then their team was weak in every position except the attacking line. After Luis Enrique took charge of the team, he made a number of changes to the team's tactics along with performances, which led to Parisian fans starting to see a new face with this team next season. Although they are going to lose Mbappe, their club's biggest star this season, they are not too disappointed to lose Mbappe because if Mbappe leaves, they will be able to sign some more players in the transfer window. We can only expect this team to perform well in the upcoming season and live up to their expectations.

one of Enrique most prominent advantages is that he is very neat in managing PSG players and always testing how PSG will perform without Mbappe with the aim of seeing how and what needs to be strengthened after Mbappe leaves and I am sure that Enrique arrival will give great confidence from PSG owner to retain the coach.
not only that is Enrique advantage but he can also provide something big when PSG can appear in the UCL with a very extraordinary performance and can reach the semi finals even though they failed, but the owner of PSG is very confident that if this team is managed by Enrique, it will definitely become a team which will be very strong later.

but there were some doubts in my mind when Enrique tried to test PSG without Mbappe several times, it was very clear that PSG did not get satisfactory results and I am sure Enrique is aware of this and I doubt that in Mbappe current position if there will be no new players in the future can replace Mbappe, of course in every League 1 or UCL match, PSG performance will be a little unstable and difficult to predict.

Well, this is what is really interesting about Enrique, he realizes that next season Mbappe will no longer be able to strengthen PSG, so in several matches this season Enrique tried several strategies and line-ups to start preparations to face conditions next season without Mbappe presence.
In fact, several times Enrique withdrew Mbappe from the match or replaced Mbappe with another player, this is indeed good way to prepare everything because so far all PSG players have only relied on Mbappe to achieve every victory.
But it cannot be denied that Mbappe is reliable goal machine for PSG and several times Mbappe was the savior for PSG victory thanks to the goals he created, I want to see whether next season Enrique will be successful with his performance as he starts to lead PSG without Mbappe.

It is very likely that Enrique will try to find replacement for Mbappe, but there is no certainty who will really be worthy to replace Mbappe in the PSG squad considering that they are team that has great players who really retain them.
If Enrique doesn't immediately look for player who can replace Mbappe, I also doubt that PSG will be able to play well, especially in an important competition like the UCL.

Luis Enrique did not just choose a player to replace Mbappe, he will try to bring in a top player who can be relied on and has sharpness in scoring goals. PSG is not experiencing financial difficulties because this club has abundant funds to recruit players. Several names have been included in PSG shopping list in the transfer market. Currently, Osimhen name is at the forefront of what PSG is pursuing. Rashford was also rumored to be a target for PSG because he was thought to be able to blend in with the tactics used by Enrique. PSG must succeed in formalizing several new signings to strengthen the team next season, the Champions League is still their main target, but if there is no improvement in the squad, it will be very difficult for PSG to win the trophy.

This result is makes Saint-Etienne can able to resumes their positive results however i know Saint-Etienne position is still not fully secured especially for second leg later they will playing at Metz home ground but at least after this result Saint-Etienne position is more comfortable than Metz and for next match Saint-Etienne only required to playing draw and considering Saint-Etienne condition which more better than Metz then i am confident for second leg later Saint-Etienne at least can playing draw and they can eliminate Metz and return to Ligue 1

In the second leg anything can still happen, because if you look at what happened in the first leg they both played well but Saint-Etienne won the final result with a score of 2-1, in the second leg it will be played at home for Metz, very profitable for Metz because of the 6 meetings at home, Metz has never lost to Saint-Etienne, so the good results achieved by Metz at home are enough to make them entertained by this good thing.

But I think this match will be very fierce in aiming for goals to take the team to the French League 1, and this will be a tough match for both teams even though if you look at Metz, they have more chances because they are playing at home, but Saint-Etienne will also give the best to the fans, in my opinion this match should be a penalty shootout to determine who will go to the French League 1.

Everything running low and this is really out of the picture. We've come to realized that Kylian Mbappe was the most valuable player in Paris Saint Germain and also in the general Ligue One. He's unstoppable and on fire each time he's with the ball. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique will not depend on Kylian Mbappe because there's quite more to deal with and winning become straight and easy going. Who's Kylian Mbappe replacement? Perhaps none for now and his absence will really affects the club's performance and stats next season.

Maybe he will first look for new talent to fill the position left by Mbappe and I hope he will bring in young players. It cannot be denied that Mbappe's role is very important in Paris Saint Germain's game, he is a player who can be relied on in the squad.
But on the other hand, that is precisely what is a problem for them, when they always rely on Mbappe then maybe they will not be too confident when their position is filled by another player, or in other words there is a dependency that they experience.
There is still plenty of time for them to look for players they can bring in to defend them next season, I hope the coach can bring in the really right players who can replace Mbappe's role well.

when a team that relies too often on one star player or several star players will usually experience a very deep decline in performance and a team like this will not be able to be successful in the future even though many people say that without Mbappe, PSG can still get the league title 1 but the problem is that PSG also needs the UCL title and it will not be possible to achieve it if it continues to depend on star players.
I fully support your opinion and everything you say is true if PSG doesn't try to recruit young players to try to develop new talents in the end it will continue to depend on star players in the future and bad things will happen when there are no more star players available. If you want to join PSG, you will definitely be shifted by another team and PSG dominance will be destroyed by another team.

I just think that if PSG goal is to bring in star players to increase the popularity of League 1, it seems that now League 1 has become very big and PSG is even known by most football fans and now is the time for PSG to try to appear with young players with new talents which PSG will build itself to get satisfactory results in the long term.

No doubt, Kylian Mbappe is most important role model players for PSG in last several season with consistency performed becoming team top scorer every season. In this season Mbappe scored 44 goals all competition and success becoming top scorer in Ligue 1 by scoring 27 goals of 29 appearance. Its means Kylian Mbappe scoring one goals generally on every match in domestic league for PSG in this season, hard for new players will be candidate replacing Mbappe position huge pressure with consistency scoring goals and scared will make flop performance for the first season with PSG.

Mbappe can play well as left winger or central forward, but recently PSG has youth winger position Bradley Barcola and need to find right target men for next season. Linked with Victor Osmhen wish this rumor true to help PSG keep consistent performance not only in domestic league but get highest achievement by winning Champion League.

Luis Enrique is a very competent coach, he has good experience in how a team works, moreover he has managed the Spanish national team, currently the new players PSG bought (L Beraldo and Moscardo) have started to blend in with Enrique's playing pattern, even though Next season PSG will play without Mbappe but I'm sure they will still dominate Ligue 1 but to reach the UCL championship I doubt they will be able to do that.

AS Saint-Étienne managed to take advantage of the home match, even though they were still in a dangerous position, this difference was a real difference. We have known AS Saint-Étienne well for a long time, they were just unlucky last season so they were relegated to Ligue 2, they will definitely come to the second leg of the play-off with a very clear vision, namely to reclaim their legacy in Ligue 1 for next season.

In terms of capacity, Enrique is one of the right managers to bring PSG to success in the Champions League, PSG management must give him more time to make it happen. Like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, I think that is a very relevant example, where Pep Guardiola was finally able to bring his fleet to this prestigious trophy after several seasons as manager.

PSG must change their transfer style, adapting to Enrique strategic needs, a common perception can facilitate their journey to win the Champions League trophy. Mbappe departure is very disappointing, but PSG must forget it and look to next season by rebuilding the depth of the squad according to Enrique wishes.

At the domestic level, PSG will still be able to dominate the competition, the gap is still very visible between PSG and other contestants, the influence of financial strength makes it easier for PSG to conquer Ligue 1 every season. Over time, I think PSG will be lucky in the Champions League, but it all takes time and patience.

I don't doubt Luis Enrique's abilities, but the problem is that in Ligue he doesn't receive a lot of pressure and that might affect his performance, I mean in Ligue 1 he can comfortably win the title every season, while his job is to ensure that Paris Siant Germain can achieve something good in the Champions League. In my opinion, he also has to provide a lot of input to management so that they don't just focus on instant achievements, but they have to enjoy the process of making them become champions in the Champions League.

I understand they have a certain amount of money to do whatever they want, but we can see that up to now what they have done has not been able to bring them anything good. And one thing they haven't tried is carrying out regeneration like Real Madrid has done for example. That way they can have a solid squad not only for a short time, but they can have a solid squad for the long term.

[Velvet78]

As far as I can see Luis Enrique has won all the trophies in France. This should be enough to give him a second chance for the Champions League trophy as well. It has been only one year too. PSG will need to prepare for next season with some good transfers. Mbappe is leaving already as we have discussed many times. They can't just move on without making new transfers as a result. 

PSG chairman should listen to Luis Enrique while making the transfers. He is a Champions League winner manager. It would be meaningless if the chairman doesn't do that and takes a bigger risk by bringing the players he want only. Then it might be more difficult for the manager to bring the success too.

I think this will also have an impact on broadcasting rights where Ligue One will decrease in popularity after Mbappe's absence from next season. On the other hand, most people will also start to talk less about Ligue One if Mbappe is not there and that will clearly be a loss for them.

However, Mbappe wants to upgrade his career at a better club and he wants to chase the title he has never won during his career. Luis Enrique will also certainly be confused but I'm sure he will soon find the right replacement solution for Mbappe. If we look at the list of players at PSG, I think there is no player who can replace Mbappe's role so they will transfer new players this summer. That's the only option currently available to PSG and they are certainly well aware of that.

Enrique is a coach who has good achievements and also has extraordinary experience, and losing Mbappe is not the end of the story at PSG, because we know Enrique is a coach who does not prioritize star players, Enrique and PSG currently do not have players who have been discussed by management themselves PSG to help Enrique compete next season.

PSG has a lot of potential in its own academy, it would be good for Enrique to develop the existing players and not waste too much money just targeting Mbappe's replacement, because that will be difficult, as is the quality that Enrique has in training These players are important for him to be able to bring young players to become the best at PSG next season.

Losing Mbappe will certainly make PSG lose their attacking sharpness, although Enrique is a coach who has won many awards so far, but we cannot deny PSG dependence on Mbappe so far is quite large and in fact we can see often PSG get bad results when mbappe does not play this long, admitted or not but every great coach certainly has one or two mainstay players who are indeed during this will be the coach focus in every game and Enrique certainly expects a lot from Mbappe even though he has never admitted it at all publicly.


Regarding the academy, of course PSG has a pretty good and even luxurious academy at the moment, but honestly about orbiting talented players from the academy, of course they are still inferior when compared to Monaco and some minor Ligue 1 teams so far, if we count maybe we can say if only a few of PSG academy players can indeed become great stars and that's why PSG have been more dominant to buy players who Indeed, they have experience and are also labeled stars because maybe they are more likely to believe instant results than processes.

PSG changes are good. Despite missing Mbappe, he pushes his team to attempt new things. The outcomes arent ideal, but thats not the objective. Enrique builds. He wants to build a dynasty, not win quickly. He's uncovering and repairing weaknesses to build a team stronger than any individual. Yes, Mbappe is a significant loss. He leads and changes games. But PSG isnt one man. They have talent, heart, and a winning coach.

PSG has a new era. It will take time and work, but it will be big. So dont dismiss them. Do not underestimate Enrique. People will be surprised.

[Ajpa94]

Change is good at PSG. Even though Mbappe is not at PSG, he pushes his team to play well and do something new. One of Enrique's most notable strengths is - he is very nice and fair, efficient in managing PSG's players.  How PSG players can be managed without Mbappe and make them stronger and better, PSG coach or club is moving forward.PSG's players' self-belief, hard work will make them stronger, better and more successful. But no player can replace Mbappe in the future.

I hope they can take advantage of the time they have to prepare for the next season, even if they have to be without Mbappe. They have to start changing their strategy, because what I see is that they emphasize individual ability more than teamwork, which ultimately makes it difficult for them to compete in higher competition.
They should be able to combine individual abilities and teamwork instead of playing as individuals. That is the job they have to complete this season. They are a big team and they also have many advantages which it would be a shame if they didn't take advantage of them. They are the biggest team in Ligue 1 and they only have that status at domestic level, because when they are at European level, they are like an ordinary team. In fact, if they are patient enough to build a foundation from the ground up, they can really do it. And they should try that in my opinion.

[Minor Miner]

Mbappe is a great player and one of the best players in the world. Mbappe's chances of winning the Champions League title with PSG are slim. Despite dominating Ligue 1, PSG failed to perform well in the Champions League. This is the main reason why Mbappe left PSG.

I would have been happy if Mbappe had left PSG earlier in the season. He is leaving PSG as a free agent this season. PSG have paid huge sums for Mbappe every season. Paid high wages. But PSG team failed to earn money by selling Mbappe. And that's why many say Mbappe is a bit greedy, and he's not loyal to the club. But I think Mbappe's decision to leave PSG is the right one. And this is the right time to leave PSG.

Yes, if they want the Champions League title for the next few seasons, it will be difficult for PSG to make it happen. PSG must completely overhaul the squad and coach and that will take time. Therefore, Mbappe should be sold, maybe he also wants to chase the Champions League trophy with another team. I also believe that PSG will not develop if Mbappe is still around because the club has given him so much power that other people can't do anything, including the coach.

Why will PSG change their coach? Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. PSG are very lucky to have an experienced coach like Enrique. PSG will definitely want to do well in the Champions League next season. For this, the PSG team needs to increase the strength of the squad.

Luis Enrique's main task now is to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. Without finding a suitable replacement for Mbappe, PSG will not be able to do well in the Champions League. However, we still don't know for sure which player Enrique wants to add to the squad to replace Mbappe. But I believe Luis Enrique can make the PSG team more stable next season.
