French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Blitzboy]

Now that Mbape have left PSG,I wonder who will be their regular goals scorer,I wonder who will be getting late goals for them.Last season, they lost Neymar and Messi,now Mbape have left,PSG will turn to be zero again,and it is now that any team in that league will win their league because it looked like big players at PSG were making things difficult for other teams,atleast they can now compete on thesame level with them.
Mbape really helped the club,and with his presence at that club,the club won so many silverware even if the main trophy Mbape was really aiming at is the Champions league.

PSG isnt a one-man show. Their team is full of potential; Dembele, Ramos, Kolo Muani are no joke. They are prepared to show themselves to be more than just sidekick. PSG wasnt just Mbappe. Sure, he was the star, the headliner, but it was a whole system working together. Now things are different. We might witness a new PSG, a more unified squad less dependent on the magic of a single player. And you know what? Perhaps that is a positive move. It could make them tougher, more unpredictable opponents.

Regarding Mbappe, the Champions League is the main event. But dont ignore what he did in Paris. He is their greatest scorer to date and a trophy magnet. Perhaps he will win that Champions League, but during his tenure at PSG? A resounding success, no doubt about it.

I have heard that PSG is very interested in Vini jr and Lamine Yamal. But I do not think there is any reality where Vini jr is actually going to leave Real Madrid and go to PSG. It almost doesn’t matter how much money they offer him. Unless Vini jr starts to think that he has done everything and achieved everything with Real Madrid that there is to achieve. Which is definitely not the case. If it was some other club like Manchester City or even Arsenal, he might have given this a thought. But he's definitely not going to PSG. Lamine Yamal might be an easier target. Because Barcelona is very interested in money right now. But Barcelona will not be able to replace him easily. One thing I also do not understand is why PSG is looking for left and right winger right now. They need a well performer at the striker position in my opinion.

Like I said before, Vinicius Junior would never join PSG. It would be the biggest mistake of his life. He is very comfortable at Real Madrid. Yeah maybe Mbappe is about to join but no problem. They would learn to play together without being too selfish. They have a manager like Ancelotti so he would know what to do. 

When it comes to Yamal I don't think it is ever happening now either. Barcelona have set a release clause for him like 1 billion euros. It simply gives the message that they aren't selling him ever.    Barcelona needs money but I don't expect them to sell their super talent for that.

The UEFA Champions League title is the ultimate trophy for PSG, they've fought so hard for the club but things turning out of line. Paris Saint-Germain had proven to be topping the league but missing out on their key player, a whole lot of things will fall out of line but there will be improvements with time. Don't overhyped Kylian Mbappe because there's always basic replacement for every key man in a team.

I think that the only thing that could influence Vinicius’ decision regarding the move to PSG is money. But as I understand it, this is not the main thing for football players at such a high level if Mbappe was ready to move to Real Madrid and at the same time agreed to a lower salary with the hope of winning trophies, and first of all, the Champions League. Most likely, Vinicius could get the status of the main star in the team, if this is important to him, this could also influence his decision, but I doubt that this is so important for him. Real Madrid is a more status club and players leave such a team very rarely.

PSG is currently in dire need of a player who can indeed replace Mbappe role next season, indeed there are many issues if PSG also starts to target Vinicius as their transfer target next summer, but so far Madrid has reportedly not want released Vinicius even though they are offering a lot of money to get him, besides that Vinicius has also stated that Mbappe arrival to Madrid will not change his decision to stay in Madrid until His contract is over, the arrival of Mbappe will of course be a motivation for him to play even better so that he can still get a guaranteed position in Madrid main line-up.

Money is of course an attraction that can indeed change the principle of a player, but I think for now it seems that Vinicius will not try to waste his chance to get the Ballon d'Or trophy if he does leave Madrid, currently Madrid is of course a team that can indeed give Vinicius a greater chance of getting the Ballon d'Or in the future than he plays in other teams, because so far Madrid can promise him to win many trophies including the Champions League compared PSG.

Yes, that's why Mbappe wants Madrid as the team he chooses to continue his career, because while playing at PSG he couldn't do his best to play in the important UCL round, he always failed before the UCL final, that's why the UCL event has always been an important thing for him, that's natural. Mbappe just moved from PSG to make his career continue to soar if he wins the UCL next season, I think PSG will also look for a replacement so that PSG becomes a strong team as usual when they have Mbappe.

Madrid has a good team of players so it is enough to be able to bring the team to win the UCL title next season with Mbappe, even though Kross is no longer playing there, but I believe Madrid will be a strong team, on the other hand PSG will certainly not decline in performance either. the strongest team in Ligue 1 and I am sure they will continue to dominate Ligue 1 next season even though without Mbappe they are still a strong team because there are many other players who can be relied on there, especially if PSG finds a replacement for Mbappe, it will be even better.

Now that Mbape have left PSG,I wonder who will be their regular goals scorer,I wonder who will be getting late goals for them.Last season, they lost Neymar and Messi,now Mbape have left,PSG will turn to be zero again,and it is now that any team in that league will win their league because it looked like big players at PSG were making things difficult for other teams,atleast they can now compete on thesame level with them.

PSG won't back again to the zero but missing mbappe will give significant impact to the performance from the club. Losing mbappe is not everything for PSG. Enrique can still mix and match the available players to fulfill mbappe's position. PSG has some forwards to replace him at this time.
These player are :

Kolo muani
Goncalo ramos

Those guys above(kolo muani & Ramos) can play as central striker. Let's said the new strategy will be.

Dembele (RW), Asensio (AM), Bradley (LW), Kolo/goncalo(CS). This strategy is the most possible strategy for PSG at this moment. It must be noted that asensio can also play as a winger too.

Mbape really helped the club,and with his presence at that club,the club won so many silverware even if the main trophy Mbape was really aiming at is the Champions league.

Well, mbappe's statistic is amazing.



The statistic above proves that how mbappe is really effective when he played as a central forward. Mbappe has also recorded very good GPM too. No doubt that if PSG feels so bad with his movement to the real madrid.

The Champions League is a dream for Paris Saint Germain that they have never experienced, so every season they will definitely pursue that target. However, it is not easy for them to become champions there, because the competition there is very tight, and they have to face many big teams and we know that they are not that strong to be able to beat some of the big teams.
The last time they lost to Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals and that was a huge disappointment because they failed to advance to the final. Next season they will try again and they will come with new strength after losing Mbappe. I hope losing Mbappe doesn't have an impact and I even hope they can be better.
Next season the Champions League will have a new format and it is possible that they will be matched with the new format that will be implemented, yes, although it is not much different, but who knows, they could become champions.

~Snip~

I don't sure yet with PSG opportunity for signing Vinicius Jr or Lamine Yamal on next season, both players have been the icon for their each teams and Madrid never has ideas for selling his favorite players although success signing Mbappe never won't to sell Vinicius Jr with long term contract existing for the other team.
Barcelona has financial problem recently keep hold on with his favorite player Lamine Yamal as potential player for the future, he still very young and get higher values in the future and keep him for long term contract with Barcelona without try to sell him for PSG.

PSG need to see other players as their target on winter transfer window, need players had much experienced such as Victor Osimhen or Rafael Leão could be right replacement for position leaving Kylian Mbappe.

It looks like PSG is using a revenge strategy against Real Madrid by trying to bring in Vinicius Junior, but PSG efforts are unlikely to be successful because Real Madrid will not sell their favorite player at any price. Vinicius is the most valuable asset for Real Madrid and Lamine Yamal has also experienced a significant increase in performance with Barcelona, ​​these two players are important players and future assets for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

PSG must shift focus to other players to fill the position left by Mbappe, Victor Osimhen is a player who can meet PSG expectations with his experience and sharpness in breaking into the opponent's goal. Napoli cannot keep Victor Osimhen any longer because he also has the desire to play for a bigger club, PSG must be able to convince Victor Osimhen to join them with a bigger salary offer than he received with Napoli.

Because Mbappe has left, then I believe the competition in Ligue 1 next season will become more competitive and I also believe, there is no big chance for PSG to get the Ligue 1 trophy next season. Because anyway, although basically PSG is still able to build a team well because it has good finances and also has a great manager and quality players. But still,Mbappe departure will make a big difference, because Mbappe is a player who has really had a big  impact on PSG's performance sofar. Therefore, even though PSG will bring in new players but still, I believe PSG chance to get the trophy next  season willcertainly not be the same as in previous  seasons whenMbappe was still in the PSG squad. Therefore, I believe it will be a great chance for other  teams to win the Ligue 1 trophy next season, and it will be very interesting, I guess.

I'm a fan of Kylian Mbappe because of his style of football and how he's made football more entertaining to watch with his incredible football skills, dribbles, goals as well as how humble he in and off the pitch. The France international have shown that he's been Paris Saint Germaine's most important player in the past decade but I don't think that his departure from the club will stop Paris Saint Germaine from dominating the French league. Paris Saint Germaine is so big that the absence of a player can't stop their shine in the French league.
I'm not writing off the possibility of another French club stopping Paris Saint Germaine's dominance next season but I'm saying that the club's number of quality players is bigger than any other club in the French league and that gives Paris Saint Germaine a bigger chance of maintaining their dominance

PSG is a MONSTER in Ligue 1. Mbappe is amazing, sure, but PSG's dominance isn't built on one dude. It has to do with that manpower, infrastructure, global attraction, and "Qatari oil money". They lose Mbappe, they buy another superstar, maybe two. Ligue 1 is their playground, with or without the French wonderboy. The real question is Champions League. Could they at last succeed without depending on individual talent? That's the challenge, the evolution. The Champions League is the white whale. Ligue 1 is merely a taster. Man, PSG is hungry, and losing Mbappe may just make them even more so

Most of PSG's investments have been geared towards getting this because they have not been able to win the champions league before and considering how prestigious the champions league title is, it has been enough reason why it appears like PSG is ready to go almost any length to make sure they end up winning the champions league one if these season, they have even spent good and huge sums some seasons just to make sure they are able to secure  the champions league title but then it looks like they are yet to get the exact thing they need to eventually win their dream trophy.

There's still a very good squad at PSG, if you look at the team very well, you will agree to the fact that they have got one of the best depth in the whole of the french league and even across Europe, they aren't doing an bad either, so I don't really doubt how much they can still achieve even in the absence of mbappe, even though I know how much he ment to the team but the team cannot become stagnant because of his exit they are definitely going to go beyond what we expected of them because of mbappes absence. A key player like you said can always be replaced.

Yes, it is true that Marseille is reportedly very close to coach De Zerbi to make an offer to become coach and of course this news is very much discussed among football fans, especially for Ligue 1.
Seeing his performance with Brighton is actually not very satisfying, but for some reason Marseille has an interest in De Zerbi.
Marseille itself this season also experienced setbacks and they finished in the middle ranking, previously Marseille was strong enough team, they were able to show competitive competition and could compete with several big Ligue 1 team.
This season there are lot of changes, Ligue 1 has teams that were initially not that dominant and have been able to show an improvement in the quality of their play to the point of shifting down some of the top team that have always dominated.

Yes, the hope is that what each team does can really bring development in much better direction, making Ligue 1 league that has good competition and matches.

Before reaching an agreement with De Zerbi, Marseille must redeem his clause of 6 million euros and after all the conditions are completed De Zerbi will immediately be announced as the new coach. I think the development is quite positive and I think De Zerbi is worthy enough to handle Marseille. Even though this season has not been very good with Brighton, we cannot equate this regarding performance because since last season they have lost several important players so the results have not been optimal.

However, I welcome how De Zerbi will perform with Marseille and we will see whether he is able to improve Marseille's performance with the depth of the current squad. Regarding the Ligue One competition, I would actually be happy if there were significant changes from the newcomer teams and that would make the competition even more lively. But maybe Ligue One will be less popular if they don't bring in any more star players.

Of course Marseille will be able to pay the clause if it is not more than 10 million euros considering that some time ago De Zerbi was also linked with AC Milan or Juventus but with bigger clause, namely if I not mistaken it reached 13 million to 15 million euros.
It just that there are still various doubts about whether De Zerbi can really lead Marseille according to expectations or not next season, but there are many opportunities for them considering that the strongest Ligue 1 team, namely PSG, is also in condition of losing its best player.
There are several advantages for all Ligue 1 team and they have the opportunity to win the League more easily, we just have to wait and see how they will work and hopefully this decision is the right thing for Marseille.
And it is possible that De Zerbi will immediately make big moves, such as targeting to bring in several players who he considers worthy of helping Marseille when the 2024/25 season begins.

But De Zerbi has variety of experience in handling every match against big team from the Premier League, hopefully this experience will be useful for De Zerbi to develop Marseille in Ligue 1.

They lose Mbappe, they buy another superstar, maybe two. Ligue 1 is their playground, with or without the French wonderboy. The real question is Champions League. Could they at last succeed without depending on individual talent? That's the challenge, the evolution. The Champions League is the white whale. Ligue 1 is merely a taster. Man, PSG is hungry, and losing Mbappe may just make them even more so

Yes, they are monsters, but that only applies in Ligue 1, whereas when they are in bigger and more prestigious competitions they can be said to be an ordinary team. They had difficulty competing and they had to fail many times when they were in the Champions League. Their main goal every season is the Champions League, but this goal is never achieved every season and it even happens until their star players leave and are no longer in the squad.

Mbappe's departure makes them perhaps no more confident, because I think they will feel the departure of this player. but I hope that doesn't happen, but instead they can put a new color into their game even without Mbappe, that's what I want to see from them next season. The coach must prepare a scenario that will make them even better, he has the opportunity to bring in players and I'm sure everything the management wants can be granted if it has to do with money.

The competition at the top of the Ligue 1 standings always changes every season, only Paris Saint Germain can consistently stay at the top, apart from them there is no other club that can consistently stay in the top competition every season. This is what makes Ligue 1 not as interesting, because the inconsistency shown by a club makes us unsure about them in the next season.

For example, we can look at Lens, last season Lens was a club that was ranked 2nd with only 1 point difference from Paris Saint Germain, but this season Lens was thrown to 7th position in the final standings. This allows us to conclude that every season the clubs that can compete are uncertain. There are those from the middle board who can be in the top competition and from the top to the middle board. From here alone we can see the difference in consistency between Paris Saint German and other clubs in Ligue 1.

I wonder if there isn't something Nantes can do in each new season? because this team has always finished at the bottom of the table throughout the season and it would be quite worrying if they had to be relegated one day. Luckily they can always finish in a fairly safe place and can avoid relegation because they will definitely go back and forth to the league.

But unfortunately we can't have full hopes for Nantes who continue to experience repeated failures and I think they will stay like this for a long time. I still remember very well this team was successful in Ligue One and they last won Ligue One 24 years ago.

Those were the years when Nantes was a very strong team do to the kind of experience players they have then but however it was very unfortunate for them because there performance was not able to last longer because everything changed when most of there good players left and since then they have not been able to go back to those performance, however with what I'm seeing now on Nantes performance I don't think they will be able to advance more than the way they have gone, so actually it may take them a very long time to improve because considering the kind of struggling they had on this finish season were they lost so many matches to even some smaller clubs, so I believe the only way for them to improve is to work on the players and getting some more in to make the club stronger.

There's no need to have high hopes for a mediocre team like Nantes, a club that doesn't have a lot of money can at least produce a good academy so they can have a better season and get out of the red zone of the French League 1, but if they stay like this without any changes in the team of course they will be under greater pressure next season and it is possible that they will experience relegation with abilities that they do not want to improve.

Looking at the Nantes team, it seems like they don't really have much hope in the French League 1 to compete in the top 4, because the Nantes team looks satisfied playing or escaping the relegation zone is already a satisfaction in itself for them, there is nothing to hope for or be grateful for from this team because we know Nantes is just a mediocre team.

The Nantes team really needs to make changes to themselves if they have the desire to compete more fiercely in Ligue1. Because from what you said, it is also quite clear that if Nantes is still like last season, no one will want to rely on that team. So it is not impossible that Nantes could experience relegation in the coming seasons because there is no reliable increase in performance. So there is no other choice but to be able to make good improvements in the team for Nantes before they drop to the lower caste.

[Velvet78]

De Zerbi is a really great move by Marseille in my opinion. However didn't Marseille make so many manager changes in one year?    Marcelino, Gattuso and lastly Jean-Louis Gasset.

Gasset didn't even last half a season I assume. If he was an interim manager then okay. Otherwise he got sacked too quickly. Anyways, I hope they can make a good start with De Zerbi. He is a really decent manager and I don't know why Brighton decided to part ways with him as well. I assume it was due to finishing way below their previous season position. I would like to see Marseille recovering with him as they have been struggling for quite a while.
