French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[fuguebtc]

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.

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.

The reason why he is not going to do very well in the Champions League is because he is going to win the Ligue 1 easily. And it is also in the nature of this league. The nature of this league is not very competitive. So the players get used to having easy matches. when they have to play in harder matches against bigger opponents, they are unable to perform well enough.

I will also blame the PSG authority. Most of the time whatever problems they have, it seems like they believe they can just throw money at the problem and it will be solved. Just do not understand that even if you have an unlimited amount of money, there are some problems that cannot be solved with only Money. I just wonder what could have happened if they had this coach when there was Mbappé, Neymar, and Messi in the team.

Luis Enrique is a very experienced manager and that's why he's been able to achieve so many great things in football and I strongly believe he'll achieve more at Paris Saint Germaine. In the last six seasons, Kylian Mbappe have been Paris Saint Germaine's biggest player as he's finished as the top scorer in the French league in that same period. For Paris Saint Germaine to continue to dominate the French league after Kylian Mbappe leaves the club will be very difficult for them if you ask me but under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, I think they'll definitely survive it.
After it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club at the end of the season, Luis Enrique minimized his playing time so that the club players will get used to playing as a team without the France national team captain. Now that he's finally left the club, Paris Saint Germaine in my opinion have players who are very capable to help the club continue to dominate the French league or better still win the UEFA Champions League title which has been the club's dream trophy.

With Luis coming into the PSG team, you’re sure to expect their performance as a team to increase massively especially with him being able to attain success in his past clubs and also with the way he was able to manage a team filled with stars and still reach that level of success. He was able to still manage with Kylian and win the league and mow that Kylian is leaving, you will wonder what the fate of the club will be especially with Kylian being the most reason for their achievements in the past 3-4 years.

 His departure will be one big one for the club and they will fight so hard to be able to fill up for Kylian’s departure from the club. Enrique has been preparing so seriously for a time like this as you can see how he started reducing playing time for Kylian so as to be able to develop the other players and to help them used to playing without Kylian quite early. This will be able to help him reintegrate and build up a very fierce squad so that they can be able to challenge very well for the title and still remain a competitive club in Europe.

 In the past, we can see how Enrique has been able to build up fierce team and I think that can still be done with PSg as he can acquire players that will fit his tacticsand execute on it so well. ⁠The club still have a target of the UCL and I think with Luis winning the UCL at Barca, that brings some sort of confidence for him to still be able to get it here at PSG. Well let’s see the signing he brings into the club.

[hahay]

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.

In fact, there has been no significant development because after all, Enrique also tried several times not to play Mbappe, but the results were always difficult to get good results. After all, even though Mbappe is not always played, but the fact is that Mbappe still managed to become the top scorer. Thus, PSG is still unable to get better without Mbappe although indeed, the reality is that the overhaul has not yet happened because it might happen during the transfer window later. But still, about Mbappe who will leave I am personally still confident that PSG will be difficult to move on.

[Palakka]

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.

I don't know what underlies you to say if PSG should replace Luis Enrique at this time, because it seems that under Enrique, PSG is currently in good condition and also quite stable performance, replacing Enrique with another coach of course will only make PSG have to return to the initial process in building a strong team later, the change of coach is certainly not something that PSG should do at this time because indeed Enrique has managed to give a new color to PSG game, if you say overhauling the squad of course I strongly agree, although PSG currently have a qualified squad but they still need to improve next season especially in a defense that is indeed fragile,  In addition, I see in some of the games played by PSG this season that their reserve squad instead has not been reliable.

Mbappe has left PSG and PSG should be able to get better players than him next season, so far Mbappe has a big ego and privileges at PSG, so it often causes divisions in the team, Mbappe ego is based on mis from management that gives him privileges so far that he feels the most powerful even above the coach.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

I wonder what will become of the PSG team if they make the mistake of replacing their coach now that Mbappe is leaving the team, yes the coach is full of experience despite not having the opportunity to win the champions league since becoming the PSG head coach but I also think leaving the coach with a task of pushing the team to getting better next season and first his primary assignment should be getting a good player for the replacement their key player Mbappe before working on the improvement of the players so they can have the winning mentality to contend with other elite teams in the champions league next season.

I don't know for now if Luis Enrique can take the PSG team to win the champions league next season but I am certain that the team can get better next season if they improve their performance.

[Weawant]

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.

It's true that Enrique is yet to choose a replacement for mbappe and interestingly it's actually going to be really difficult getting such because mbappe isn't a small player, he's beyond the regular players and his role in the team has always remained a very vital one such that his impact is always felt in almost every game he gets to play for the team so it becomes very difficult to get some one who can fit in just exactly.

Getting a replacement for mbappe may not necessarily means getting to employ the service of a top notch played which is definitely going to cost the team a whole lot and may eventually not get to fit in well just like the erra of Neymar and Messi in PSG, even with all those perfect compliment with mbappe, they still didn't get to win the prestigious champions league they still won just the Ligue 1 title which has always been their norm in a very long while but I believe with a younger player they can get it right just like mbappe was much younger when he first arrived PSG.

It will be much better if they look to getting a young mind who's willing to build a skill and showcase that which he got and how useful he can be to the team and get the team to the points where they would really want to be, I think that will do much better for PSG, because I see this as an opportunity for them to look into developing a replacement and not buying a replacement which they may loose one time so quick.

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.

If they ever want to, I think it would be because they are commonly known as a team who fires managers that does well at league, but fails to win UCL. Which is what Enrique did, they failed to beat Dortmund, could have been at the finals instead. In the end, I do not think that he would be fired neither, that doesn't really feel like it would happen that commonly, but I just feel like we are going to end up with people who will call for his head, just because he failed to win UCL.

Next season is easier, because Mbappe left, that means if they fail to get UCL but win the league people would be a little happier about that instead. Of course that's not going to be all that easy, but we should definitely see them have a bit more ease.

Kylian Mbappe exits Parc des Princes this season and we know his next destination. The Frenchman have decided to be in Real Madrid jersey, they know the impact to follow.

I don't know for now if Luis Enrique can take the PSG team to win the champions league next season but I am certain that the team can get better next season if they improve their performance.

With the help of Luis Enrique, it is very unlikely that PSG team will win the Champions League title next season. But Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. He will definitely try his best to stabilize this team, to improve the performance of the team.

Mbappe was PSG's leading scorer. PSG's performance after Mbappe's departure is likely to deteriorate if Luis Enrique is unable to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. If Enrique wants to do well in the Champions League next season, the squad must be strengthened. Especially the forward lineup needs to add more talented players. But since the PSG management is also interested in spending large amounts of money, it seems that Luis Enrique will be able to strengthen the PSG team next season.

Mbappe is a very special player. His place cannot be filled easily. Therefore, no matter how much effort is made, there will be very few players who can achieve the success he has achieved. He wished he could stay in the team, but now he wanted to start a new journey and I think he will be successful in this journey. Mbappe's absence will affect PSG badly, but Enrique must be thinking about it. I think he has already chosen the player he will replace.

[Jossque]

Saint-Etienne were the winners in the first game of the play-out match in the French league.Saint-Etienne, who took advantage with a 2-1 win at home, will have a chance to be promoted to the league again with a possible draw here.We know that Metz have been struggling to win for a long time and their single victory in this match will allow them to stay in the league with a double victory in extra time.A very important and stressful encounter awaits us for both teams.

Currently, there is not a single player who can replace him and even if there is, he is a player who cannot be separated from his club. It will be very difficult if PSG plays without Mbappe starting next season so they don't have many options available. It's possible that if PSG was the team that had always been his home for winning prestigious titles, perhaps he would never have left France.

Mbappe has been wanting the missing pieces for years and if he stays at PSG he will be increasingly left behind by other great players. So his decision to leave PSG was the right one and maybe his competition with other great players in his new team will make it take a little time for him to become the most highlighted player. Luis Enrique is an experienced coach and I believe he can do his best for PSG even without Mbappe.

[hahay]

In the first leg St Etienne can really play well, because St Etienne also has good dominance and managed to beat Metz in the first leg. But in this second leg, at least St Etienne will also play away and thus, I personally doubt St Etienne will be able to maintain the victory or maybe Metz will manage to turn things around. Because after all, these two teams are competing to be able to play in Ligue 1 next season and they are basically mediocre teams, so it is difficult to make a choice in the bet that I will make. Because anyway, even though St Etienne plays in Ligue 2 too but obviously, that St Etienne is also not a new team to playing in Ligue 1. Therefore, ofcourse, any result is still possible to happen, because of course they also have big ambitions to play in Ligue 1 next season.

Mbappe is a special player. And no one can fill the absence. Mbappe is a much improved player. He is physically and mentally very skilled, strong and he is a successful player. No other player can fill Mbappe's absence. 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.

Currently according to the news circulating, of course, after winning the Champions League, Madrid will soon complete all agreements between the two, so that Madrid can immediately introduce Mbappe to the public as their new player for next season in the near future, speculation about Mbappe future is of course now starting to meet a bright spot, although previously Mbappe was often linked with Madrid but both still hide the agreement So far, Madrid will get Mbappe on a free transfer and of course it is very beneficial for those who do get star players without spending money.

Mbappe from the beginning of the season has confirmed he will leave PSG but so far PSG have not moved at all to find players who can replace Mbappe in their front line, Mbappe has a very important role in the squad and of course it will be very difficult to get a player who does have the same quality as Mbappe at the moment,  But I think every star player of course will not be great without the support of his teammates and so will Mbappe in my opinion, so maybe Enrique will also be able to create a new star at PSG next season by maximizing the collective game.

No doubt, Enrique's a wonderful coach. He doesn't perform miracles. Even with Mbappé, PSG struggled before him. The man is a world-class goal-scorer. Talent like that isn't replaced overnight. They have new players and promising young talents. But potential doesn't win titles. Master Mbappé wins titles. Being confident and working hard won't fix a Mbappé-sized hole in your attack. PSG may be better and more cohesive, but let's watch how they perform before crowning them kings. It's a long season, and Mbappé's absence could hurt them

Perhaps more precisely, it will be very difficult to get a player like Kylian Mbappe back, because his abilities are above average for other players which can be the difference when he is on the field. Now it is certain that they will no longer be together with Mbappe, so Paris Saint Germain must prepare for all of that. They are actually very capable even without Mbappe, it's just that their dependence has been a bad stigma against them, bad in the sense that they might have difficulties if they don't have Mbappe.

In Ligue 1, I am sure they will continue to dominate this league, because no other team that I can see can match their strength. so they will continue to dominate the league, although I also hope that something surprising will happen, where other teams can perform well and can compete closely with Paris Saint Germain, or even they will break the dominance of Paris Saint Germain.

[snipie]

It is official now, after Angers and Auxerre already passed to Ligue 1, it is the time of St-Etienne to get the third bid and follow them after defeating Metz on aggregate.
The first play-offs game ended 2 - 1 in favour of St-Etienne then in the second leg, the legal time ended 2 - 1 for Metz this time so they had to play extra time in which St-Etienne successfully scored a goal and avoided playing penalties.
Metz played with 10 players since the first five minutes of the game, yet they stranded until almost the end of the second extra time. Metz followed Lorient and Clermont Foot to Ligue 2.

[Lidger]

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.

Luis Enrique has taken on many such challenges before and knows what to do when a key player leaves the team. Mbappe is certainly a good player and has contributed enough for the club so there is no reason to think that the club's performance will stop if he leaves. Since they have good financial support, they can definitely buy quality players for this money. In a few games of the season that just ended, we saw Luis Enrique deliberately benching Mbappe and giving all the other players a chance to try and figure out how their team would perform without Mbappe. The performance of the team has not been very random so if he adds some new players to the club then the performance of the club will be better than before.

[Palakka]

I would blame Nasser Al-Khelaifi for everything, he invested so much in Kylian Mbappe but it turns out he's not reaping the fruit of his hard earned money. PSG will decline in performance, having to lose one of the most valuable player this season. Luis Enrique will make findings to play top games without his best key player in the frontline. Kylian Mbappe exits Parc des Princes this season and we know his next destination. The Frenchman have decided to be in Real Madrid jersey, they know the impact to follow.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi certainly cannot be blamed for PSG's failure to retain Mbappe at this time, as the owner of the club of course he realizes that Mbappe is the mainstay of the team so far so that indeed he will continue to try to keep his mainstay in various ways, previously Nasser Al-Khelaifi managed to convince mbappe to stay at PSG but of course now mbappe desire to leave is so great that mbappe rejects all offers Contract renewal, when Nasser Al-Khelaifi tried to keep Mbappe but you still blame him, then what if Mbappe left two seasons ago, wouldn't you also blame Nasser Al-Khelaifi for his inability to keep Mbappe in the squad?

I think, only you have been blaming the owner of a team that is very royal and dare to spend a lot of money to keep the squad intact , losing Mbappe will certainly make PSG's attack dull next season, but I think with the financial strength that PSG have now of course they will try to bring in other players who are as good as mbappe and make PSG again have a reliable striker.
