French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Swordsoffreedom]

I thought we would see only PSG dominance in this match. Because PSG team is stronger than Sturm Graz. But Sturm Graz is performing well in this match. PSG are not able to dominate the match. At the end of the first half, the match was tied at 2-2.

PSG took a 2-0 lead just 12 minutes into the match. I thought PSG will dominate the match and PSG will win by a big margin. But Sturm Graz players played very well. PSG had 73% ball possession in the first half, while PSG players made a total of 4 shots. Sturm Graz's players had only 27% of the possession. But Strum Graz players made a total of 8 shots. Strum Graz players performed very well in the first half. I would say Sturm's players performed better than PSG's players. Despite having Kolo Muani, Soler and Ramos in PSG's squad, PSG's attacking performance has been relatively weak.

But the score did not change until the match ended and both teams had to accept a draw without a winner. It seems that PSG has lowered the intensity of its attacks in the second half and it looks like they are quite happy with this result. On the other hand, Sturm Graz who appeared so serious wanted this victory. But what a shame every time they launched an attack they could not increase their goal advantage and it was difficult to do the same thing as the first half.

It was also seen in the second half that Luis Enrique withdrew some of his players for refreshment and also included one of his new recruits who was bought expensively from Benfica, namely Joao Neves and in this match he got a score of 6.5 which was quite good. Luis Enrique still wants to see how his players work together through pre-season matches so he is also not that ambitious about winning.

PSG should have won against Sturm Graz. Because this team is weak compared to PSg. PSG had a lot of quality players in their squad. However, the PSG team did not play to win the friendly match. Perhaps Luis Enrique's target was to find weaknesses in his squad. And several weaknesses in PSG's squad have been well observed.



PSG's overall gameplay was composed. I would say PSG's match strategy was also quite good. However, we don't see enough good performances from PSG's attacking players. If PSG's attacking players perform like this, it will be very difficult for PSG to perform well. It was in this match that we saw PSG's players create several easy scoring opportunities. But PSG could not score a single goal in the second half. So I think PSG needs an experienced stariker in attack.

[Obim34]

If we talk about Ligue 1 then we cannot deny that PSG will still dominate Ligue 1 even without Mbappe in their current squad, but I think for now it is not the Ligue 1 trophy that is their main priority to get but the UCL trophy for the first time , so this requires PSG and Enrique to evaluate the strength and quality of the team they currently have, the results of the friendly match against Sturm Graz yesterday should be a reference for Enrique to see the weaknesses that PSG currently has, competing in the UCL is not as easy like as in the Ligue 1, so like it or not Enrique must to maximize and improve the current squad.

I also agree more with what you said because Enrique must be able to maximize the strength of the team he is coaching in order to compete fiercely in the UCL and get his first trophy in the competition. Because PSG still often fails to win the UCL during his career, Enrique still has to be able to give his best for PSG with the support of the best players he can rely on this season and can continue to focus on big competitions like the UCL because in Ligue 1 PSG will still be a very dominant team to win.

The UCL is no big joke this season, any team wanting it should have to do even better than last season. PSG are going to get competitive but not dominating on the Champions league, I feel there is a lot of team with better squad compared to PSG. It's best they focus mainly on other leagues which they have better chances of securing the victory because it will turn into a hell if they should focused on becoming Champions league winner, not having it at the end and still going trophy less for the season.

You are wrong PSG returning to good days doesn't mean they should hire super expensive players like Messi and Neymar again. They already have a good coach who can help this team to have good performance and he can help PSG to hire better players instead of just hiring superstar players.
I think time after time with Enrique, PSG can have a good time and get progress and improved.  s

Of course Enrique's a good coach. However, coaching alone won't win the Champions League. PSG needs stars, it's true. Mbappe's departure leaves a vacuum. He instills fear in opponents, not simply goals. Good but not great last season. Decent won't compete with the big boys. Tactics matter, but without execution, you're playing chess with pawns versus kings. PSG needs a statement signing. A player who scores and changes the game

Football's a business. Money, fame, and winning matter. It takes talent, strategy, and luck to win. With strategy but no aptitude, Enrique is a mechanic without a car. PSG must market aggressively. Find that missing piece, then let Enrique work. Respect Enrique's ideology. But philosophy doesn't win awards. They play. PSG must balance the books, sign a superstar, and let Enrique build his team. This is their only chance to stay relevant in Europe

One good reason to say the management of PSG had good performance and made good decisions was hiring Enrique for the last season. Unlike other coaches in PSG, Enrique is a coach who has the experience of working this superstar players and he played against many strong teams when he was working in Barcelona.
Since they had many superstar players but they didn't have a good coach they decided to hire Enrique to have better performance which was a good move from PSG.

Enrique is the man to build PSG to a very strong form since he is well experienced and knows how to strengthen the club for them to be able to win their matches irrespective of the club that they will be playing with. He needs more time to perfect the team and when that is done, PSG will be able to win UCL title because Enrique has such experience in UCL. We saw how far they went last season, it is just a matter of time for him. He is the right coach for the job and soon he will make PSG proud.

We saw how far they went last season, it is just a matter of time for him. He is the right coach for the job and soon he will make PSG proud.

But the test for Enrique still continues at this time where we must be aware that now is the transitional phase of PSG who in every season always rely on Mbappe in every problem they have but for the upcoming season they are required to be able to play well with the squad they have (without Mbappe in it).
Of course this will be a little different and Enrique must be able to provide a good thing because this is an opportunity for PSG to change the rhythm of their game so that they don't just focus on one player just like they have always done in the last few seasons.
At the moment I still don't see what Enrique wants to do with his squad because losing Mbappe doesn't make them look for new players in attack because even though there are many rumors about Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, there is no clarity about these rumors and they have only brought 2 players in defense, namely Safonov in the goalkeeping position and Joao Neves, one of the young players who stole the attention from his performance at Benfica.

We saw how far they went last season, it is just a matter of time for him. He is the right coach for the job and soon he will make PSG proud.

Enrique's career as a coach is indeed unquestionable, he has been successful with Barcelona, ​​​​and it is true that PSG recruited him as PSG coach was the right choice. His first season at PSG was also not too bad even though he failed in the UCL last season, but PSG must believe in the process, must be patient in building the squad, nothing is instant so trust Enrique.

Although PSG got less than satisfactory results in the friendly match, it is not a reference that they cannot compete in League 1 or the UCL League next season. Enrique still has plenty of time to fix PSG's current weaknesses. The player transfer market is still running, maybe PSG needs a few more players to be able to compete in the UCL League because the UCL League competition is very competitive, very different from League 1, I'm even sure PSG won't have any major problems in League 1, they will continue to dominate. So Enrique's current focus is the UCL League because that is PSG's dream all this time.

[hahay]

If we talk about Ligue 1 then we cannot deny that PSG will still dominate Ligue 1 even without Mbappe in their current squad, but I think for now it is not the Ligue 1 trophy that is their main priority to get but the UCL trophy for the first time , so this requires PSG and Enrique to evaluate the strength and quality of the team they currently have, the results of the friendly match against Sturm Graz yesterday should be a reference for Enrique to see the weaknesses that PSG currently has, competing in the UCL is not as easy like as in the Ligue 1, so like it or not Enrique must to maximize and improve the current squad.

Basically, PSG always tries to be better in the Champions League and that is PSG's priority from season to season but unfortunately, PSG still fails to get good results in the Champions League. So, PSG's efforts to be better in the Champions League are not only now because after all, when PSG had Neymar, Messi and several other luxury players, at that time PSG also prioritized the Champions League.

After all, because PSG has a priority to get good results in the Champions League and then, automatically PSG gets good results in Ligue 1. Because after all, when the team has great preparation for the Champions League, then basically the team will be able to compete well in the local league. With the great efforts that PSG always makes every season but still fails even though before they have a luxurious squad, then losing Mbappe will of course have a bad impact on PSG next season.

I hope so, but for now he also has a lot of work to do to improve the team as a whole. Also I will not talk about them in Ligue 1 but I will look more at how they perform in the Champions League under Enrique. Because talking about Ligue 1, it is almost predictable that they will be able to defend the title, although there is no guarantee of that but their chances are the biggest. I think he must first build a foundation with Paris Saint Germain, when the foundation he has successfully created is solid then it brings a greater hope for them to be able to become champions in the Champions League. Nothing can be obtained instantly, unless they have very great luck. keep in mind when they have a target to become champions in the Champions League, they must have a foundation for it, including mentality.

As PSG's squad lacks experienced and talented players like Mbappe, and Luis Enrique is yet to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. So Luis Enrique is trying to stabilize PSG's overall performance by changing his match tactics. But I doubt if he will succeed.

Last season we saw Mbappe rested for several matches by Luis Enrique. And without Mbappe, he has experimented with the PSG squad. But without Mbappe, PSG's performance was comparatively poor.

Yesterday's match against Sturm Graz was a 2-2 draw. PSG played in a 4-4-2 formation in this match. Last season we saw PSG team play in 4-3-3 formation. However, looking at PSG's overall performance in this match, I think it will be challenging for this team to win the Ligue 1 title next season as well. PSG desperately need a suitable replacement for Mbappe.

PSG players actually have enough experience, although not evenly distributed. I see that Enrique always changes his pattern and system scheme after the campaign has actually started, like last season for example, not always the 4-3-3 pattern that is his mainstay. Moreover, currently PSG has brought in several players for several positions. one of them, Enrique's needs for the midfield sector. although Joao Neves is still very young, under Enrique's tutelage he might develop greatly. last season it could be said, if Mbappe played a big role. however, it is impossible for PSG not to find a way to keep their team competitive. Bradley Barcola is a young player whose talent can develop, if Enrique gives him more opportunities to be a starter, maybe he will understand the rhythm of Paris Saint-Germain's playing style. besides that there is Dembele as his partner, these players can fill each other in their respective positions. the question is, which striker will be the main center forward. is it Joao Ramos, or Randal Kolo Muani. in the middle sector there are two young talents whose potential is increasingly honed, namely Emery, Neves. and, PSG still has Kang-in Lee. Enrique can also play Asensio as a center forward, or with a single forward system. this scenario, if Paris Saint-Germain does not bring in a striker either on the wing or like Osimhen who is the Target Man. btw, PSG's performance last season and the coming season are not necessarily the same, PSG could decline even further without Mbappe. or, Luis Enrique's team will focus more on collectivity and teamwork to achieve maximum results. IMO, I still have great confidence, PSG's competitors in Ligue 1 will find it difficult to break the dominance in Lique 1 this season.

With the great efforts that PSG always makes every season but still fails even though before they have a luxurious squad, then losing Mbappe will of course have a bad impact on PSG next season.

There is nothing impressive that PSG has done so far except for the big loss of losing Mbappe. Without me explaining, most people know that PSG efforts every season are not about competition but are busy maintaining selfishness to prevent their mainstay players from leaving the team. While PSG should think if there are other things that need to be handled immediately to maintain the quality of the team's performance in the long term.
Just imagine what if PSG did not make the Mbappe transfer drama since last season but preferred to find a way to bring in quality players who could replace Mbappe and sell their mainstay player. So that this season PSG will not lose its best performance because there are always replacement players who have the same quality of talent.

And now PSG just feels that what this team did last season was the biggest mistake. So PSG does not need to focus too much on the UCL but should think about finding ways to improve the mentally readiness of the players and improve their performance to be able to compete in the UCL in the future.

Enrique still has plenty of time to fix PSG's current weaknesses. The player transfer market is still running, maybe PSG needs a few more players to be able to compete in the UCL League because the UCL League competition is very competitive, very different from League 1, I'm even sure PSG won't have any major problems in League 1, they will continue to dominate. So Enrique's current focus is the UCL League because that is PSG's dream all this time.

Enrique is actually supported by a lot of convenience at PSG at the moment, especially from a financial perspective, so it shouldn't make Enrique experience difficulties in building a PSG squad more better  next season, Enrique experience should make it easier for him in competing for the Champions League trophy, but instead after losing Mbappe, I see that PSG current squad is not capable enough to make it easier for them to achieve this desire, if you look at PSG performance during pre-season, it is clear that losing Mbappe makes their attack line very dull even though they played Ramos and Muani in that match.

Next season will be Enrique last year as PSG coach, so Enrique should be able to really take advantage of the current transfer market to strengthen their squad so they can compete for the UCL trophy next season, because Failure or success in winning the UCL trophy will be an important factor for Enrique  future at PSG later.

The UCL is no big joke this season, any team wanting it should have to do even better than last season. PSG are going to get competitive but not dominating on the Champions league, I feel there is a lot of team with better squad compared to PSG. It's best they focus mainly on other leagues which they have better chances of securing the victory because it will turn into a hell if they should focused on becoming Champions league winner, not having it at the end and still going trophy less for the season.

Even if PSG focus more on the champions league and want to win it by all means, they can still try and win it and still win the Ligue 1 title. I haven’t seen any team that is competent enough to beat PSG and refuse them from winning the French Ligue 1 title. They don’t look like the best in the champions league that can win the title, because even if they try, there are other teams that are in the champions league that will defeat them and stop them from winning it. I will like them to put their focus more on the champions league and not really the Ligue 1 because even they don’t put much effort there, they will still win it.

Enrique is the man to build PSG to a very strong form since he is well experienced and knows how to strengthen the club for them to be able to win their matches irrespective of the club that they will be playing with. He needs more time to perfect the team and when that is done, PSG will be able to win UCL title because Enrique has such experience in UCL. We saw how far they went last season, it is just a matter of time for him. He is the right coach for the job and soon he will make PSG proud.

I don’t have much doubt on PSG’s coach Luiz Enrique, he has been a good coach since he joined the team and have helped improve them in their games in all competitions. He did well in the champions league last season and this season also, I expect him to do more even though he can’t win the trophy but getting to reach the finals with the team is another big achievement for him. I have a big conviction on PSG and I hope they’re able to do as expected from them and not fail to perform better next season.

While he does need to make the team better, it also means that he can't do it all by himself, he needs help from the staff, from the management and from the players as well. If the players give up because they think they can never be as good without mbappe, then they will not provide 100% of themselves to the games and Luiz Enrique can't do much about that, as a manager he is responsible for making players play better, but after certain point no matter who you are, pep or ancelotti or enrique it doesn't matter, players who don't want to play will not play.

Whereas, if management doesn't bring him the players he wants, doesn't matter if they get great players, sometimes even the best player will not be a good fit, so they need to listen to the manager when they are making transfers, we don't know if he requested these players or not, but if he did then the management did what they suppose to do.

I still expect them to be fine, but people should not expect much from them on UCL, just going beyond the group stage is the most expected thing, that's it, nothing more could happen for them at all. We are going see them just be decent at the league, and even there they will not dominate.

[Obim34]

The UCL is no big joke this season, any team wanting it should have to do even better than last season. PSG are going to get competitive but not dominating on the Champions league, I feel there is a lot of team with better squad compared to PSG.

I will like them to put their focus more on the champions league and not really the Ligue 1 because even they don’t put much effort there, they will still win it.

PSG are always upfront to competing for the Champions league title but this time I feel they are not ready compared to how much preparedness I am seeing from most the Premier league teams. PSG just played one preseason match (not judging their potentials from there) but I felt the need for an upgrade in squad since Mbappe has left, I feel no one there in the squad can put in more threat to their opponent the way Mbappe does. Mbappe is a brilliant figure in the squad that attracts more defenders to him leaving enough room for other players to create chance and score, as we know can't depend on Dembele to be that new figure.

We don't get to push aside clubs in that ligue 1, PSG are the favourites but still doesn't guarantee their chances of winning, if they should skip a bit then their chances are limited. PSG will be at their best in the Champions league but definitely not enough to win them the trophy.

[Weawant]

I thought we would see only PSG dominance in this match. Because PSG team is stronger than Sturm Graz. But Sturm Graz is performing well in this match. PSG are not able to dominate the match. At the end of the first half, the match was tied at 2-2.

PSG took a 2-0 lead just 12 minutes into the match. I thought PSG will dominate the match and PSG will win by a big margin. But Sturm Graz players played very well. PSG had 73% ball possession in the first half, while PSG players made a total of 4 shots. Sturm Graz's players had only 27% of the possession. But Strum Graz players made a total of 8 shots. Strum Graz players performed very well in the first half. I would say Sturm's players performed better than PSG's players. Despite having Kolo Muani, Soler and Ramos in PSG's squad, PSG's attacking performance has been relatively weak.

In this game, in as much as I knew that PSG was the better side, I never kept my expectations high around them because I know they currently have some instability and this was an opportunity for them to seeing how well their abilities can be going into the new season considering all they have been trying to put in place in the most recent times as it concerns the strength and form of the team so far. PSG I believe will use this pre season game to sharpen their tactics and their strategies and aswell in knowing the strength of the players so they will not be making this mistakes in the main season games.

They usually try to win the Champions League while they always win the French League easily however sometimes they can't do that easily we expect to see. I think PSG aims for the Champions League and the French League is no longer first priority for them. While it seems this team always had something missing, for example, in the past they had some superstar players like Messi in the team who could help them but they couldn't win the Champions League even after hiring these players but now Enrique is in PSG and he is helping this team a lot while I think time after time when effective of this coaching will be huge and better than before.

[Lidger]

Yes indeed, the point is that I am personally still very curious and will wait for how PSG will be next season after Mbappe departure to Real Madrid. Although indeed, basically I still recognize that PSG is a great team because it has good finances, because with good finances it will certainly make the team develop well too, at least that's how it should be. With PSG's condition without Mbappe but PSG also has a great coach who has great experience, and it will also still provide good results for PSG even though only in Ligue 1.

Because anyway, to reach the final in the Champion League I think also can not only rely on luck. Because after all, PSG always has great efforts but in fact PSG still gets not so good results in the Champions League. Thus, maybe by having good quality players on each line and also good second-tier players it will make PSG able to be more consistent with good performance in every match next season.

In my opinion, PSG lacked luck to reach the Champions League final last season, or maybe luck has nothing to do with it, but it was precisely the lack of forwards who could not play coolly in the decisive matches, and especially at the end of the return match, when they hit the crossbar several times, but could not hit the goal. PSG's potential is very high, but they often lack something in decisive matches, by the way, City with Guardiola also went for a very long time to win, and more than once they stopped one step before victory, this also happens, but the main thing is to keep moving, one day they will achieve their goal.

Luck never makes a team win the Champions League trophy but a long commitment to never give up is what helps a team achieve their goals. PSG did that until the semi-final but PSG's performance in the semi-final match was not so good that depending on the performance they will play the final. However, Dortmund was not a very tough opponent for them but there they failed to perform well against this opponent. In the quarter final they overcame a tougher hurdle than in the semi final but I would say there were planning mistakes in the two semi finals and Mbappe's lack of performance was another factor that fell behind. Mbappe was relied upon the most in the two semi-final matches but we didn't see a good attack or a good finish from him in those two matches, mainly because of these reasons, PSG ended their Champions League journey in the semi-finals, so there is no point in blaming luck.

It's best they focus mainly on other leagues which they have better chances of securing the victory because it will turn into a hell if they should focused on becoming Champions league winner, not having it at the end and still going trophy less for the season.

The competition in UCL is always competitive every season, teams that want to win the trophy must be able to maintain their performance and not make any mistakes in the match. The only reason PSG have never won the UCL trophy is because they don't have a winning mentality and the players always struggle when facing other favorites. The very low competition in Ligue 1 also had an impact on PSG's failure in the UCL, they often got easy wins in the domestic league because the quality of their opponents was still far below them.

Winning the UCL trophy is not as easy as imagined, even though PSG has spent a lot of money, they still haven't been able to get the trophy. Luis Enrique must be able to erase PSG's curse in the Champions League, he who has experience with Barcelona must be able to improve PSG quality so that they can compete in the UCL.

But I see Enrique is not as great as the previous coach because if you look at all the coaches at PSG, they can only take them to the quarter-finals in the Champions League so in my opinion Enrique has not or has not made something brilliant for PSG, in my opinion they should prioritize the French League 1 because they will have the opportunity to win and if you think about the Champions League of course with the squad they have now I doubt they will get a place in the Champions League losing Mbappe is very bad for them especially until now they have not brought in a new name to be an effective striker, in my opinion Dembele will not do much for PSG because he is a player who is easily injured so for them they have to strengthen new players in order to compete perfectly in the Champions League.

I hope they don't forget their domestic targets because they are ambitious with the Champions League because currently Marseille is doing a way or buying great players to be able to bring home the domestic title so in my opinion PSG is worried next season because they are confused by losing their megastar Mbappe for free.

This really interesting, just when I taught Marseille is done signing for the season, they are adding yet another to the squad. Last season they didn't do much so maybe they are getting prepared already, they have to strength the team because a possible opportunity avails it self ahead in this new season and they may have the chance to be amongst the top team especially if they are able to win trophies or finish well by the end of the Season in their domestic league. PSG that has been trying to fix their team aswell, the teams will trying to increase the competition in the league as they are seeing that most likely the dominance of the top teams may not be there again.

It is noted that they have already recruited 7 players this season so Marseille will be a little more prepared to face the 2024/25 season.

Marseille might get a chance to compete with PSG this season because PSG no longer has Mbappe, if they don't recruit Victor Oshimen, it is likely that PSG's performance will be mediocre, therefore Marseille has made many changes by bringing in several players, especially in several very important lines such as their back line and front line.

Marseille is the only club that managed to win the Champions League title in 1993 which PSG has never felt so we can't underestimate this club, it could be a surprise next season.

Enrique is the man to build PSG to a very strong form since he is well experienced and knows how to strengthen the club for them to be able to win their matches irrespective of the club that they will be playing with. He needs more time to perfect the team and when that is done, PSG will be able to win UCL title because Enrique has such experience in UCL. We saw how far they went last season, it is just a matter of time for him. He is the right coach for the job and soon he will make PSG proud.

I don’t have much doubt on PSG’s coach Luiz Enrique, he has been a good coach since he joined the team and have helped improve them in their games in all competitions. He did well in the champions league last season and this season also, I expect him to do more even though he can’t win the trophy but getting to reach the finals with the team is another big achievement for him. I have a big conviction on PSG and I hope they’re able to do as expected from them and not fail to perform better next season.

I have no doubt that Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. But is PSG's squad strong enough this season? Is PSG's current squad strong enough to dominate Ligue 1 and the Champions League? I don't think so.

Without Mbappe, PSG's attack is relatively weak. Luis Enrique managed to strengthen the bonding between the players. Luis Enrique's match strategy is also very good. But without a good and experienced finisher, it is very difficult to sustain a consistently good performance. And it will be even more difficult in the Champions League. So I don't expect much from PSG next season unless they find a suitable replacement for Mbappe.
