French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[mammusu]

But if in the end every contribution that Victor Osimhen has made to a club like Napoli is not truly appreciated by the club, of course Victor Osimhen himself must make wiser decisions before next season starts again. Because Victor Osimhen himself can still continue his career at another club as long as it is still possible for him, but he himself also has to look at a team that is more suitable for him. Because if he only likes teams that often appear in UCL competitions, PSG is clearly a pretty good choice if no other team wants to bring him into the squad.

Even though Paris Saint Germain is a regular in the Champions League, they cannot provide anything good, because every season they can barely compete. This season, when they had a great opportunity to be in the final, they couldn't take advantage of it well, so they had to settle for losing in the semifinals against Borussia Dortmund. In my opinion, this should also be a consideration for players, because they also definitely want to get better achievements.

Osimhen has great potential, and this season he has declined a bit with Napoli, I think the decline he has experienced is also inseparable from the decline of the team as a whole so he cannot provide a good game for Napoli. However, if we look at all the players, this season they are playing below their best, or in other words, their abilities are not at their full potential. Whether it's because the coach doesn't understand them or there is something else that makes them unable to show their best.

It is indeed difficult for Victor Osimhen to show his performance if a team is in decline and what happened last season cannot be used as a reference for Victor Osimhen's performance.
So I think PSG recruiting Victor Osimhen is something they have to do to replace the position left by Mbappe and we also have to look at Victor Osimhen's overall quality and I think he is very worthy.

PSG is a place that is still very suitable for Victor Osimhen in terms of testing his quality again in what could be considered a continuation of his career in the world of football. Because Victor Osimhen only needs to prove this for other teams to see that he is a player who still has quality in the world of football so that he can again make it possible for other better teams to look at him in the future. Because it's true that he won't be able to develop in a team whose performance continues to decline like Napoli even though he also won with Napoli.

When a club decline in performance, every member of the team will share the blame collectively and not all the blame pointed out to one person. We know how unplanned and challenging things have been for the Nigeria International, he's trying very hard to out himself back to good form because he needs to meet up the high expectations of fans and the club.

Are you pointing out the fact that Victor Osimhen doesn't have freedom of speech in Napoli? He's free and can take any decision that pleases him, he's one of the top goal scorers for the club and his contribution have been nothing but special and enormous.

But if in the end every contribution that Victor Osimhen has made to a club like Napoli is not truly appreciated by the club, of course Victor Osimhen himself must make wiser decisions before next season starts again. Because Victor Osimhen himself can still continue his career at another club as long as it is still possible for him, but he himself also has to look at a team that is more suitable for him. Because if he only likes teams that often appear in UCL competitions, PSG is clearly a pretty good choice if no other team wants to bring him into the squad.

This problem does not seem to be based on appreciation but indeed it is not in line between Napoli and Osimhen which makes the conditions of the two untenable.
Previously there was an action that triggered this to be bad where this season Napoli on its social media account made a post as if it was patronizing Osimhen even though it was confirmed but their problems started from there. Although the problem is considered solved now but I think it still gives a condition where Osimhen is still very unhappy with this which makes their relationship look fine but actually they have problems.

Now actually with Osimhen's performance like this and with Napoli's situation always having a transition it is likely that Osimhen will leave but if he intends to be at Napoli because of Conte and gives confidence that Conte can change Napoli then it can also still be done for Osimhen but it is still likely to leave in the end.

[Blitzboy]

Ramos definitely looked like a great player, I think it wouldn't be really that bad to just not even buy any new players and just play the same PSG team without Mbappe, they would still win the league with this squad if you ask me. But, they won't do that because they have money, and when you have money that means we are not going to end up seeing someone who will do further, we are not talking about anything more.

We should consider the fact that we are going to make it work one way or another, and that means that we are going to see something change. We should probably consider how that type of situation could change peoples perspective, because if they have money and not spend, that would not be ideal situation for PSG, and fans would be mad.

Star power helps PSG win. Its about attracting the greatest personalities, who draw fans and viewers. When did Messi join? Their social media exploded overnight. It was huge! Now, Ramos? Warrior and winner. But he wont fill stadiums alone. Ligue 1 isnt the most fascinating league to watch. PSG's star power draws viewers.

But losing Mbappe? What a mess. He makes PSG famous. He's why people watch Ligue 1. Without him, their global brand will suffer. PSG without Mbappe is like a burger without beef. Not the same.

Because it's true that he won't be able to develop in a team whose performance continues to decline like Napoli even though he also won with Napoli.

If Osimhen plays at PSG, that doesn't mean that Osimhen should be interested in other teams because after all, the main task of a player is to produce good results for the team. So, basically because Osimhen is also still young then of course it will be very good for the PSG squad in the long term. However, it seems that so far PSG has recruited older players more often and as a result PSG has still failed in the Champions League.

After all, Mbappe, who was still young, also left because PSG's quality was still unable to compete strongly in the Champions League. Therefore, I think if PSG recruits a young player like Osimhen then maybe this will enable PSG to move on quickly after Mbappe's departure. So in essence, I think Osimhen will still be suitable to play at PSG because at least playing at PSG is still better because PSG is a big team in Ligue 1, and that will promise good results in the domestic league too.

Because it's true that he won't be able to develop in a team whose performance continues to decline like Napoli even though he also won with Napoli.

Currently there are several teams that are trying to recruit Osimhen from Napoli, PSG, Chelsea and Arsenal are teams that are indeed interested in bringing in Osimhen next summer, but with the release clause and also the selling value pegged by Napoli at this time, of course, PSG which has strong financial strength certainly has a greater chance of getting Osimhen from Napoli,  but so far we have not heard of any approach taken by PSG to realize the transfer so it seems that currently PSG is starting to be not interested in Osimhen not as rumored so far.

Despite all the issues, Osimhen is a very talented player and of course he will be worthy of replacing Mbappe position next season at PSG, talking about Osimhen quality and ability, of course his number of goals at Napoli is proof of his current greatness, besides, Osimhen, who has previously played in Ligue 1, certainly will not be too difficult for him to adapt to the Ligue 1 game and of course it will be beneficial for PSG who is now looking for a replacement for Mbappe who left for Madrid.

Because if he only likes teams that often appear in UCL competitions, PSG is clearly a pretty good choice if no other team wants to bring him into the squad.

Napoli is a team that has been able to provide the best competition for the Serie A title every season, at least in the last 10 seasons. After a happy season in 2022-2023, Napoli failed to defend its title. Their performance has declined and that has made many people speculate about them and the future of their stars.

Of course, Victor Osimhen has been rumored to be moving to an elite Premier League or Ligue 1 team next season. Osimhen needs a new challenge in his career instead of just staying at Napoli, but if he really wants to move then Chelsea is a team he should consider. Chelsea really need a productive center forward like Osimhen, it will make them even more competitive next season. Jackson isn't very reliable as a center forward, so Osimhen might be good to consider.

[Velvet78]

As of Mbappe's departure I think the other teams in the Ligue 1 has increased chances to win a title.    I mean Mbappe has made that big difference at PSG so far. I'm curious about their performance after him.

Of course PSG will still stay as the most favoured team for the league title even after Mbappe. But maybe and hopefully we might watch a bigger competition for being champions. Normally the Ligue 1 isn't among the leagues that I love to watch honestly. A full domination of the same team makes people bored easily. We need some action. Monaco seemed promising this season, maybe they would carry this competition level to a higher place? 

[Fuso.hp]

There were speculations that the PSG is targeting the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Napoli is ready to sell the Nigerian for €130m and the French side can be able to afford it. But Victor has shown his love for the Premier League and Chelsea have shown much interest. Napoli will be willing to let him go to any club that is willing to pay the amount so we might end up seeing the striker in PSG..

It's just speculation but I think Osimhen is the most viable option at the moment after they were left behind by Mbappe. PSG still dominates in Ligue 1 even without Mbappe, but at European level their strength will drop drastically. Mbappe really carried PSG. Osimhen has a release clause of €130m. That's a big price but It's not a problem for PSG. Unfortunately they had to release Mbappe on a free transfer. They should not have to pay €130m because Mbappe's market value is around €150m.

Osimhen last season was quite down compared to before and Osimhen is not a suitable replacement to replace Mbappe, especially at a fairly expensive price, and does not match his performance this season.
For PSG, of course money is not an obstacle for them, but they are also thinking about not wasting money on unreliable players, because Osimhen's performance has declined this season, it would be good for PSG to think about making an offer to Julián Álvarez because his performance was superior to Osimhen.

I think, with the bad results that Napoli got does not make Osimhen also judged badly because after all, it seems that the problem is about their coach who is not right. Thus, then Napoli get bad results but with the bad results that Napoli get, I'm sure it's not just because of Osimhen's failure. So yes, if Napoli price Osimhen at that price I think it doesn't matter too much because anyway, of course there will also be negotiations that will occur until an agreement is made. Because I am sure, Osimhen is suitable to play at PSG because after all, Osimhen is also young and it will be good for the long term of PSG too. What's more, previously Chelsea had an interest in getting Osimhen, but it seems that lately Chelsea may have gotten other players and abandoned their intention to bring Osimhen.

Well I say something, Oshimen's performance is not entirely his fault, it is also the fault of his coach, if the coach does not give him freedom to play as he makes his plays, he cannot do anything, he is tied, he has to follow the system under which the coach has assigned him, then in Serie A, Napoli was very bad, you can't deny it, they also had their good moment when they were champions, but times change, and football changes too, so now things are different for him, he already has other offers, PSG and Chelsea, either of the two teams would do him well, out of necessity it would be spectacular if he went to Chelsea who need to do something now.

Oshimen is not at all happy with his current club but we have been hearing that for a few seasons so why is he in so much trouble at that club. He has enough talent to do well and he is a good player who should go to a club where the club will value him and the manager will give him top priority. The star will surely do well if Oshimen gets top priority in the starting XI from the manager. There are rumors that the player could switch clubs this season, with PSG being linked with the rumours. PSG lost several of their star players last season and this season, so Oshimen might be PSG's best choice if they need to sign a new player

Monaco seemed promising this season, maybe they would carry this competition level to a higher place? 

The opinion that other French teams are now likely to stop Paris Saint Germaine's dominance in the French league have been repeated by many people on this thread and in as much as I understand their reasons for saying such, I also think that Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French league without the presence of their former player Kylian Mbappe. For a player like Kylian Mbappe who's been the top scorer in the French league for the past six seasons, his departure is expected to affect his team's performance in the league but for a club like Paris Saint Germaine who without Mbappe still possess the strongest squad in the league, I think they'll continue to dominate.
Paris Saint Germaine have been very active in the transfer market over the years as well as the highest spending club French club in the last one decade and that's why the club does assemble the best legs to their team. Now that Kylian Mbappe have left the club, I still expect Paris Saint Germaine to sign more quality players to the squad in order to further strengthen the team ahead of next season.

[BALIK]

PSG has lost their best player. And now they have got the coach who is actually proven to bring in good results with big teams. Only if they had Luis Enrique when they had Mbappé, Neymar, and Messi in the squad. Probably they could have been able to win the Champions League competition. Now that they have a good coach, he will be made to work twice as hard. Because he will not have the good players available for him. He will also have to create a squad from almost scratch. Especially the attacking lineup. Because I do not see any reliable striker in the squad of PSG right now.  Kolo Muani is not reliable. It is going to take quite a long time for him to actually get the squad that he wants even though he has access to a large amount of money. It is not like as we made fun of the Saudi league owners.

Saudi club owner: this player plays very well who is that?
Scout: his name is Haaland
Saudi club owner: OK give me five of that here is the money…..

Things do not work like that  . The PSG coach will have to go through some trial and error to actually find the perfect squad.

[SUPERSAIAN]

So I think PSG recruiting Victor Osimhen is something they have to do to replace the position left by Mbappe and we also have to look at Victor Osimhen's overall quality and I think he is very worthy.

PSG is currently one of the best clubs for Osimhen to show himself again. Thus, I think PSG made a good transfer. PSG and the league are a suitable environment for Osimhen to shine again. It is doubtful whether he can replace Mbappe, but PSG can still be successful with its total squad. Mbappe is the biggest player in the existing squad. Apart from that, there is not much of a problem, frankly.

[FanEagle]

I don't sure PSG will get downtrend performance for next season after leaving by Kylian Mbappe, its difficult decision accepted by PSG after Mbappe not extend his contract but Luis Henrique will make PSG keep dominance in Ligue 1 and reach higher level round in Champion League next season. Have break out almost two months before next season begin I think PSG start to sign top players for replacing Mbappe position although they can put Goncalo Ramos as central forward for Mbappe position.

All top teams when leaving by their favorite players can recovery well and the empty position replacing well by other player, I remember with Real Madrid after leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo replace well with consistent perform of Karim Benzema. Not close possibility with PSG performance for next season better than their performance in this season although leaving by Kylian Mbappe.

I do not think that "higher round in ucl" seems possible considering they were already at semi finals, and Dortmund manage to beat them, so higher would mean finals, and I do not see them getting to finals without Mbappe, that seems like an unlikely situation.

However, I do agree with the situation that they are going to dominate ligue one again, that seems like the most likely result. That doesn't mean that we are going to see things that would be all that complicated, we are talking about just stuff that would be normal for a team that rich to end up getting a win in the league that doesn't have even quarter the amount of money they have. It would be a bigger news if they lost, so it is going to be expected for them to win that.

The right thing for Osimhen's career is to go to PSG. It would be the right move for him to shine and would be a strong stepping stone on his career path. However, speaking for PSG, the squads after the Laurent Blanc era failed to deliver the excitement of the early years when PSG was on the rise. After him, the decline started. Even though Mbappe single handedly backed the team, one players struggle was not enough to change things. If PSG wants to be as strong as it used to be, it needs to recruit star players again. Otherwise, they will continue to be a stepping stone for players who want to make their debut.

The French League has not been very enjoyable for many years. The quality of the league increased in the last 3-4 years, when PSG built very good squads, but there was no excitement in the league because the team that would become the champion was known months in advance.
But we can say that PSG does not have a very good squad anymore. That's why the league will not be the same as before, we will watch more competitive matches. Of course, we can have discussions when the time comes about how high the match quality will be

[bering]

Nice currently have no manager because Francesco Farioli has decide to withdraw from his position and he was choose Ajax as his next club i think that's very unfortunate because although Francesco Farioli only train Nice for one season but he has successfully to bringing this team to finish at 5th place and will playing at Europa League next season besides that under Francesco Farioli Nice records also very impressive because during this season Nice only conceded 29 goals from 34 matches and they also recognized as the team with the strongest defense in Ligue 1

Until now Nice hasn't decided yet who is their next manager and actually Nice want to hire Bruno Genesio as the replacement of Francesco Farioli but seems Bruno Genesio has refuse the offers from Nice because he is currently accept the jobs as Lille manager but Nice still have one more candidate as their next manager because it says Lens manager Franck Haise will thinking to leave Lens and handle Nice but this is still not official because Nice probably still look for other candidates

[Weawant]

But if in the end every contribution that Victor Osimhen has made to a club like Napoli is not truly appreciated by the club, of course Victor Osimhen himself must make wiser decisions before next season starts again. Because Victor Osimhen himself can still continue his career at another club as long as it is still possible for him, but he himself also has to look at a team that is more suitable for him. Because if he only likes teams that often appear in UCL competitions, PSG is clearly a pretty good choice if no other team wants to bring him into the squad.

Obviously if he was appropriated well enough I'm of the opinion that he will most likely not want to leave the team just like that, he would have loved to extend his contract maybe, he's been in Napoli for two seasons an a season more wouldn't do much but then it's obvious he's not appropriated well enough so he has to make a move to a place where he will be appreciated even more when he's gets to show his good performance.

Asides Napoli I believe there are other teams where osimhen can literally go to and become a very good assets to them just like he has been all these times in Napoli, PSG appears to be a prospective place where he can get to go and show his brilliance, the even have a very good champions league appearance record which could mean a chance at an attempt to the trophy in any of the seasons, the challenge he will be having at PSG will be assit, he may not be getting the perfect kind of assist that can help him deliver as a striker, even with mbappe , he did all most of the job to get a goal.

Osimhen isn't a dull player, he's very energetic and does go after r he Ball to the point he has the ability to even create chances for himself in the games but then for games like the champions league, he will not be able to do it alone, he's going to need the assist and the help of his team mates if he will be optimal but then there have been no announcement of a deal yet at PSG so let's wait till there's any then we can make speculations around it.

PSG will still be higher in terms of squad quality, I'm sure of that. For PSG, the French league is and will continue to be a league cup that can simply be won. They will probably add important names to the team instead of Mbappe this summer and try to fill this gap. I believe that the dominance of the league will be in their hands again. PSG won't have achieved their goals unless they win UCL

With the presence or absence of Mbappe in the PSG squad in the end, it is still PSG who are indeed difficult to touch when talking about Ligue 1  But the difference is that their chances are indeed getting slimmer when talking about performance problems in the Champions League because indeed with the loss of Mbappe who has always been the backbone indirectly this also makes most of their probabilities for big competitions in the Champions League disappear .

But when talking about Ligue 1 then they will still be the same where they will be the best club with resources that cannot be pursued by other clubs.
Although their productivity may be reduced in terms of goals but in terms of performance it is unlikely to change much because in this case we must be aware that other clubs in Ligue 1 only always compete for second place but for the top of the table PSG is always in control.
Its just that if this season there is a new champion then Mbappe's absence at PSG is clearly very significant even though I'm not sure anyone can win other than PSG .

It would be a bigger news if they lost, so it is going to be expected for them to win that.

PSG will only rely on luck if they appear in the Champions League to reach the final round without Mbappe and if that happens, it will only be a big surprise for PSG, but also we should not underestimate clubs like this because not only in the Champions League but PSG can try to win a title at UEL to gain experience in the final round and at least the players can be prepared to appear in the final round of this big competition.
Competition is not just about the champions league and if it is difficult for PSG to achieve a title in the champions league there should be other alternatives to get a title that is easier to obtain but also something to be proud of.
PSG's ambitions may be too high to pursue the Champions League title because they feel that this club is able to win the title in this competition just because it has star players and always dominates League 1, while PSG players are not ready to compete in the Champions League.

The league 1 title is like PSG's food every season without us worrying that PSG will still dominate league 1, but after Mbappe's departure I actually want that dominance to be broken by another club like Monaco so that league 1 is not so boring.
