French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[LUCKMCFLY]

After the seventh matchday, Paris Saint-Germain remains at the top of the table, but they're only one point behind the second, third, and fourth-placed teams. Therefore, any loss of points could mean their fall from the top. They're focusing on the Champions League and entering the French league with a rotating squad. If this squad starts dropping points in the French league, they might lose the French league this year, and that would surprise me more than Bayern Munich losing the Bundesliga.

This is how a league gets interesting, because the teams are fighting for first place and the boredom passes. I know that PSG's players are at their peak Potential for joy , but on a personal level they could realize that things are much better when they are fighting for first place. This is what happens in La Liga, this is what happens in the PL.

Many people did not expect PSG to win the Champions League with confidence this season, their achievements were quite a lot in the previous season, the French league is a playground for them but they are never afraid to face other big league teams that compete with them even though the competition in the domestic league is not as tight as other leagues, they have tried a team full of top star players like Messi Neymar and others but it did not produce results, but from that they learned that star players are not the main key, Luis Enrique found the key and finally was able to change his playing style and strategy with talented players that he can rely on to carry out his strategy rather than relying on star players.

Of course, no one expected PSG to be this good after Luis Enrique changed the players' mindset to work together effectively to achieve very satisfying results and win many titles.
Initially, PSG was constantly underestimated as a club only strong domestically, but after Luis Enrique took over as coach, he had the courage to let go of star players and opted to retain several key players who could easily execute his strategy.

True one thing that, helped PSG is the fact that Luis Enrique really worked on the mindset of the players and made them to believe that they can achieve success. This was the turning point as far as am concerned because prior to the arrival of Luis Enrique PSG was struggling in the champions League.



Changing how PSG signed their players also played a role and it worked. Because most of these big players that were playing in PSG were not helping to the team as they were not playing as a unit but an individual game and it affected the teams performance when it mattered the most.

Paris saint German has recorded a resounding successful seasons in the history of french league 1 and still holding the record as the most successful team in the league with a total of 13 league trophies, 3 ahead of the second placed Olympic Marseille. They also has the record as the only team to have won the European champions League cup clearly without prejudice. I have always been hearing things like PSG will never win the UCL but now they didn't just win the UCL, they also won the super cup and the Balon d'Or. They had their best season so far in last season and are still maintaining their lead for the season. The club have housed many great players, Neymar, Messi, Di Maria, Ramos, Ousman Dembele, Hakimi etc. league 1 is finally on the global map in all ramifications courtesy of PSG.

PSG has proven to everyone that they can be one of Europe's top clubs, and no one can underestimate them anymore, saying they are just a club from a league considered less competitive. Yet, they managed to win the Champions League, eliminating big European teams and appearing dominant.

Their achievement is something that people never thought before that a club could rival the dominance of elite clubs from England and Spain. They entered the history books that even a club from a less competitive league like Ligue 1, nicknamed the "Farmers' League," was able to break through the barriers and prove themselves at the highest level of european football, and even global football.

Not only did PSG dominate Ligue 1, but they also performed exceptionally well in the Champions League last season.
So, what they've built over a long period of time has brought immense success to the team. PSG is known for its financial strength, even willing to spend big money on players to strengthen its squad.

When Luis Enrique was appointed manager, his true strength was evident, as he successfully brought about significant changes for the team, both in the domestic league and the Champions League. If we were to speculate that Mbappé's departure to Real Madrid would have resulted in PSG's era of strength collapsing, that would have been a mistake, as without Mbappé, PSG won the UCL trophy.

In Ligue 1, PSG is still strong, they have always managed to secure the title every season, even this season with stronger strength, of course they will win the title again.

[Fara Chan]

There are players who are fundamental for their teams and if they are missing the whole game of the team changes, key players such as central defender or attacking midfielder, but for other roles they are easily replaceable but this is not the case

Center-backs and attacking midfielders in any team must always be fit because these areas are considered sacred to the team, and players there must be careful not to be weak or careless. These areas can also be exploited by the opponent to launch deadly attacks if gaps are always open and easily exploited by the opponent. Therefore, it's natural for key players in these areas to be immediately substituted if they experience physical difficulties during a match.

Before one would thinks that getting the big names to PSG was what as supposed to give them the many big trophies but good a thing Enrique has achieved it without such and now changing the narrative for everyone. Domestically I do not think the misconception was coming really heavy for PSG but they have striped well enough to change the narrative and we wait to see them defending it.

Yes, PSG are considered to be from the league of farmers, but last season, PSG proved they could win the Champions League, a highly prestigious title, against top clubs worldwide, especially in Europe, which is certainly not easy to win. Since then, PSG has been unquestionable, let alone underestimated.
Even in the last match against La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​PSG could beat them even without some of their key players.

And based on statistical data of PSG players in various lines and also achievements, PSG players really dominate the ranks, starting from the back line, middle line, and front line.

On closer inspection, PSG is actually one of the teams with the most expensive squad depth currently. Luis Enrique was a key figure behind PSG success in winning the Champions League trophy. With a collective approach that didn't focus too much on star players, PSG finally achieved their dream. It takes courage and full support to manage a team according to the manager wishes, and I think Luis Enrique possesses both.

It's understandable that PSG were previously underestimated, they having brought in many star players but failed to win the trophy they hoped for. But now, thanks to Luis Enrique, everything has changed. PSG strength is highly regarded in the Champions League. Especially if PSG successfully defends the trophy, I don't think there will be any more underestimation of them in the future.

Especially if PSG successfully defends the trophy, I don't think there will be any more underestimation of them in the future.

After winning the Champions League last season, PSG is no longer underestimated because they have become one of the strongest teams in the league. Previously, PSG was underestimated because they hadn't been able to produce the best results in the Champions League despite having a number of good players on their team. Now there's no reason to underestimate Luis Enrique's team because this is the biggest trophy in the club's competition, and if they can defend it, PSG will become a team that is quite respected in Europe.

[Bigjoe33]

I don’t think that PSG dropping a point in the French league really matters anything because we know they are always going to win the league unless that is a team with an extraordinary performance that will be able to take the French League from Paris-Saint-German, they are the most dominant team in the league, and are even the European Champions after winning the Champions League, and why does playing a draw now seems like they lost a game, because they are a very good side and they can’t win all the games in the French League, definitely they are going to loose a game, of all their dominance they haven’t won the French League unbeaten.

And defending the Champions League, would be something extraordinary because it’s very difficult to defend the Champions League, and right now most of their senior players are injured, and when they are back I’m expecting something special from this PSG team.

Yes, strongly agreed. Paris Saint Germain team is the fire in the French league and it's difficult seen any team that will oppose them to the cup presently, even though it is still possible. Considering that fact that the team has faced great Storms and hell of a match, and still came out victorious, they are even more stronger and tactical, and any getting a win from them now should be a celebration to such team.

Well, I wouldn't blame people who see the draw as bad, because a team like that who has made winning there companion and mentality will also feel they didn't get all the points. But it's football, the other teams always come for winning too. But it's just a draw, and to me, just as you have said, it's really nothing and can't stop them in any way. The team is formidable, winning FC Barcelona even without major players all out injured.

We are expecting more beautiful game from them, because that's what they play now. And when there injured players all return, it will become even more exciting. At least, am sure they have a of defending there European champions league title.

[martinom]

I honestly did felt disappointed that it was that obvious that PSG lost a game because a player was absent and not like a host of their best players but one actually. Obviously if this player for any reason becomes absent for awhile, rheh will suffer this much until he is back, so how about when he will leave the club after the expiration of his contract if he does not sign for a renewal, what will be the fate of the team?
We can't say that Paris Saint-Germain lost a match because of a single player. I don't think Paris Saint-Germain is paying enough attention to the French league. At least for now, they see it as an easy competition. They seem to want to focus entirely on the Champions League. However, I think they could field a slightly better squad for the French league. Still, I understand Paris Saint-Germain, because considering the likelihood of other teams dropping points in the long-running French league, Paris Saint-Germain has a high probability of winning the French league again this year. However, the competition in the Champions League is higher. Therefore, Luis Enrique wants to keep his best squad ready for the Champions League.

Can a single player cause you to lose a match? A team is made up of several people and if they place their trust in just one person, they're making a grave mistake, dont you think?
Perhaps they're mistaken in viewing the league as an easy competition; they're too sure they'll do well and too sure they won't lose.
The Champions League has always been a tougher and more difficult competition, but that's where a team's character shines through..

Paris saint German have being one of the best team in French league one since 1980s, dominating the league with astonishing performance without giving space for division of power by other teams which that dominating power increased beyond reasonable doubt when Qatar sports investments officially announced their ownership of the team in 2011, bringing super reenforcement to the team by adding quality players like: Lionel messi, Zlatan ibrahimovic, Neymah, kylian mbappe and so on to there squad making the team one of the most challenging team in Europe.

Actually they have been one of the best sides in the league but their dominance started after the Qatari investors took over the club and transformed it into a elite club not only in France but in Europe by massively investing in world class players and now they have finally clinched the coveted UCL trophy which has always been their dream. PSG'S dominance in french football has been stretched beyond that of Olympique Lyonnais who won the league for seven consecutive years by adding the UCL to their cabinet.

With last year's Champions League title, they became the best team in France in terms of reputation. They've already been very successful in this regard in the past. Ronaldinho, for example, broke into the global arena with Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain could offer many similar examples. Last year's Champions League title is the fruit of a long-term investment. After taking over the team in France, the Qatari president finally achieved his goal and transformed Paris Saint-Germain into one of the strongest teams not only in France but also in the world. I think every team in the world would want such a president.

From then till now the team have maintained same dominance in the league and even extended power to European football where they became the champions of Europe last season by winning the UEFA champions league tittle and also produced the Ballon d'or winner last season whose name is ousemane dembele and other dangerous prayer's willing to devour any team that comes their way.  In terms of team qualities I believe they have one of the best team in Europe with constant consistency at all times which made them an excellent team in all rectifications

PSG has been putting in more effort and work so far since the founding of the club. They have worked tirelessly to achieve many things, but all those years, they were not able to produce a player who won a Ballon d’Or while still playing for them. It is the same as not being able to achieve the Champions League trophy since the founding of the club, even with all the reputable players that played for them. Not until last season, when they got all their missing ribs, which is the Champions League trophy and the Ballon d’Or. It was actually a remarkable season for them, to be honest.

Paris Saint Germain was not putting in much efforts when the club was founded in 1970, it took them about 15 years to win their first Ligue 1 title in 1985/1986. It was Carlo Ancelotti that made the lead way for PSG because after he won the title for them in 2012/2013 season, they started flourishing and were now winning the title regularly. Carlo Ancelotti is sure a king maker because he built PSG to a legacy they have maintained for over a decade if not initially it used to be club like Olympique Marseille, Olympique Lyon and AS Saint-Étienne that used to be very relevant in the league. That notwithstanding, Luis Enrique should be commended for bringing out the best in PSG because just within fear years he won the treble and produced a ballon d'Or player from the team.

This season, PSG will also be in an extraordinary position because their strength as a team hasn't diminished, although repeating last season's achievements will be very difficult this season because the circumstances are always different. I still want to see PSG compete fiercely in the Champions League until the final so that they continue to be considered a threat by other teams, so that no one will underestimate PSG in this major competition. Meanwhile, in Ligue 1, almost every season is predictable who will win the title, because other teams are still unable to match PSG's strength in Ligue 1.

Yes, I think they were very happy to receive these two prestigious awards. They had long targeted the Champions League title and strived towards it every year. The year before they won the Champions League, they faced Dortmund in the semifinals and, despite playing much better, failed to reach the final. Perhaps if they had reached the final that year, they would have won it and won the Champions League two years in a row. But football is like that, even if you play well, it's not enough in some matches. It's time for Paris Saint-Germain to get better. I hope they achieve their goal of winning the Champions League this year too.

PSG became a fulfill team last season they have been building the team to make it the best team in the world and they finally achieved it, they have sign several star players in the past but the couldn't win the UEFA Champions league tittle, they have had players like Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Neymar and Messi in previous seasons but couldn't win the UEFA Champions league tittle or even had Ballon d'Or Award winner from the team but this year have gotten all that that's they finally ate the fruit of their labour they have spent big money to make sure the team came top in the world and they are now best team today they have won the Champions league trophy and also the best men player which is the Ballon d'Or Award.

I have no doubts that PSG will go far in the Champions League this season because they have always been in the semifinals in recent of times. However, I don't know if they can make it to the finals because if they do, they might win it again. Currently, I haven't seen any club capable of defeating them. Only Chelsea was able to do that last season, I don't know if they can this season.

Their achievement is something that people never thought before that a club could rival the dominance of elite clubs from England and Spain. They entered the history books that even a club from a less competitive league like Ligue 1, nicknamed the "Farmers' League," was able to break through the barriers and prove themselves at the highest level of european football, and even global football.

Some people in previous posts said they were underrated, others maintain they're one of the best clubs in Europe.
I think you just have to look at PSG's results, see Luis Enrique work, and understand that it really doesn't take much, "so to speak."

Matches are won thanks to teamwork, including everyone players, coaches, physical trainers, doctors, and everything else that goes into making a team
