French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[IjawMan]

PSG won the UCL two years in a row after letting Mbappe go. In contrast, Real Madrid, which had won the UCL twice in four years before Mbappe arrived, ended the season without a trophy for the first time in many years after he joined. In short, we can say that Mbappe brings down the level of the team he joins. Agreeing to let Mbappe go isn’t an easy choice, and Luis Enrique made that decision. This means he correctly identified the problem within the system. Guardiola made a similar move when he took over at Barcelona. That’s what you call a great head coach.

Stupid "consistent patterns" like 99.9% of those killed in plane crashes ate cucumbers. Incidentally, this is easily refuted, as PSG had previously reached the Champions League final and semi-finals under Mbappé. However, after Messi joined the team, PSG were destroyed twice in a row in the last 16... after Messi left, PSG finally triumphed. Based on the facts alone, it appears that Messi was the main factor in PSG's failure, and once they got rid of him, things started to improve 

Is not enough to reach the Uefa champions league semi-finals and again reaching the final without winning it cause reaching the final many times without winning do not etch your club name in the ana's as winning it twice in a row of the competition does.

Mbappe leaving Paris Saint German to Real Madrid was an expedient transfer for the unimaginable success of the club today and you have to give that kudos to Enrique for been able to convince the club management to see reasons with the coach let the striker leave.

The era of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in Paria Saint German did not create a team work game tactics for the club, it only brought together many star players that could not collaborate and coordinate as a team but playing individually depending on their skills than team strength, which is what this present Paris Saint German team has, the team strength.

PSG has a very very difficult season ahead of them without a doubt. First of all they had a season where they won the treble and then went to CWC as well all the way until the finals, basically that means they played every single possible game they could play. Then, they had a season where they did the double, which means only a few missing games from the cup that's it. And now they are going to also go to world cup, most of their players are going to play. And this is going to be third season, people will expect success, but I guarantee you that it is going to be the most difficult season for them.

I'd say the players hardly got any rest. However, they did have a chance to rest leading up to the Champions League final. Now, the players will be competing for their country in the World Cup. I'm sure they don't mind this and will want to give their best performance for their country. It will be a very tiring schedule for the players. Still, I don't think they'll complain too much. I think they'll give us a great tournament to watch. Because every player at Paris Saint-Germain is high-quality, almost every player has the potential to be in the World Cup.

The fact is that Mbappe is just not lucky because he left PSG to Real Madrid in order to win the Champions League. Unknown to him that PSG would win it the next season. He went to Real Madrid and the club declined in performance with some sentiment between the players just because of pride.

Only Mbappe cannot do all the work on the field. Football is a team work and Mbappe is playing his role perfectly on the pitch. Real Madrid has a weak midfield and you cannot win UCL when one part of the team is weak. All angles must be very strong in carrying out their duties effectively to achieve success.

He also certainly did not expect that the team he left could win the Champions League trophy twice in a row. You say Mbappe played his role perfectly at Real Madrid, but I don't think so. It could be that Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid is what destroyed Real Madrid. His egotistical figure, coupled with several players who are also similar, doesn't seem to make for a good team.

It seems like a coincidence because the French player left PSG to win the Champions League but we are now seeing that after he joined the Spanish league, PSG have set a record by winning two consecutive UEFA Champions Leagues. Mbappe is a goal machine and he can adapt to any league and score goals very quickly but you are right that he is an arrogant personality which is already visible after joining Real Madrid club. Look, after Mbappe joined Madrid he was the top scorer in the Spanish league for two consecutive years but he could not touch the trophy but now we can assume that under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, the French player may improve and start performing with the team in unison.

Actually, there's no guarantee of that either, because even if Jose Mourinho came, if the players' egos didn't disappear, they would continue to experience the same problems. What's important for Real Madrid is achieving unity among the players. Mbappé has been working hard and playing well since he came to Real Madrid, but he makes some individual, selfish decisions during matches that hold other players back. He did something similar at Paris Saint-Germain. Now he's at Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain has won the Champions League in the last two years. I'm sure he's questioning his decision now.

Mbappe ruins the atmosphere in the dressing room and does not have a good relationship with his teammates. And we've known this for years. PSG produced one of the strongest squads in the world a few years ago. The attack consisted of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. Three of the best forwards of all time. But Mbappe's relationship with Neymar and Messi was not good. As a result, even after building a very strong squad, PSG could not win the Champions League.

Luis Enrique understood Mbappe's problem well. He kept Mbappe on the bench for several matches in the first season and experimented with the squad . And Mbappe moved to Madrid the following season. PSG won every possible title last season after Mbappe left psg. This season also won Ligue 1 and Champions League titles. On the other hand, after adding Mbappe to the squad, Madrid has not been able to win any titles.

When Mbappe was at PSG and all those rumors started that he was going to Madrid, I didn't want him to leave because I knew he would create a bad atmosphere. But now things are different; the whole locker room is against him. They said so on El Chiringuito. So things have changed. They say that here on earth you have to pay for everything you've done. Maybe this is his way of paying for it and making him a better person.

The lack of unity among the players is Madrid's biggest problem. You are right. And we have been seeing the same scenario for the last two seasons. The problem has become more pronounced since Mbappe joined the squad. We know the conflict between Vini and Mbappe. Also, the relationship between Valverde and Tchouamenie is not good. If the understanding and relationship between the players deteriorates, it is not possible to perform well as a team. Whoever the manager of Madrid is, his first task will be to fix the unity among the players. If he can do this, then 80% of Madrid's problems will be solved. Because their squad is very strong.

Maybe if he had spend more two season as PSG was willing to give him any years he wanted the all time awards he has been looking for would have been giving to him with more of the trophy for them but unfortunately his departure from PSG was meant to reduce the quality and strength of the club in all the league outside there region but it became a good thing for PSG as he departed from them, so actually for this twice champions League of PSG, Mbappe will not like his decision whenever he think of the time he play for the club because it was like doing a lot of labouring but impatiently left before his time has come for the club.

this is a very unfortunate thing but mbappe was asking for it a bit, they were all happy to have signed him at real madrid then if everything doesn't go as it should go he becomes a burden and it seems to me that what is happening is that all the fans are not very happy with how he is behaving both on and off the pitch .

I believe that next year this team will be totally changed, if there is no continuous purpose a club will fall apart and everyone will leave in search of new stimuli and new experiences, this always happens unfortunately, but they seem to me to be a cohesive group at least up until now, where they have nevertheless shown that they continue to win together.

The more PSG achieves success, the more people expect PSG to continue doing so. Fans expectations are getting higher and PSG will face a lot of pressure and Luis Enrique must work hard to think of new ideas so that his strategy is difficult for opponents to read and yes, it seems that next season will be more difficult for PSG because every team will definitely make improvements, PSG also needs to make improvements so as not to be left behind by other teams, especially in European competitions.

Why did you write this? Are you unable to read my entire message? Regardless of the mark a lost final leaves on history, most would agree that it is better to lose in the final than to be beaten in the last 16. And here, since we started looking for patterns (the one I answered started it), we see that Messi was a big step down for PSG and a failure in results. Nothing personal, he just suggested playing a game of find the pattern, and this is the result

the players are already preparing physically and mentally for the World Cup, it is a challenge that happens every 5 years and not all the players know if they will play another one, so i must say that clearly everyone will be super concentrated and with the focus concentrated in these next challenges, those who will clearly be present.

I think it's simply bad luck, it haunts this player and the clubs where he goes to play are as if he were anathema, he carries this around until he was little, considering that at 18 he won the World Cup, now he can no longer win a Chamopions League, it's just bad luck.

For the players it is an opportunity to add value to their career because it only takes really good players to be called upon for such national assignment, some players do not get this opportunity and it also provides them with the opportunity to play at a very global stage, so every player will be prepared to give their very best as it is some times once in a life timer opportunity.

This is the flaw of almost all Real Madrid players, acting independently was their big problem, they didn't take into account the coach and tactics.
Real Madrid is a team with strong players, but that doesn't mean a sure win, they simply need a guide who will make them each stay in their place and work properly.
Only in this way can they recover in a big way.

The coach certainly has an influence on the team, but if a player has an inflated ego and is difficult for the coach to manage, the team will not develop as expected. I even remember when a player like Mbappé moved to Real Madrid to lift the Champions League trophy, but the trophy was won by his former team, PSG, last season and again this season, resulting in PSG's back-to-back Champions League success. So, Mourinho needs to assess whether Real Madrid has any players with inflated egos, because when it comes to coaching, Mourinho is undoubtedly the most respected football fan.

José Mourinho is a coach that doesn't pamper a player with an inflated ego, I know that there are a lot of players at Real Madrid who has an inflated ego, but I trust José Mourinho he will bench any player who possess that, his decision is enough to send a clear message to the Real Madrid players that a new era has begun and anyone who feel he is more talented will have no place in José Mourinho's team, so inflated ego has nothing against José Mourinho and it won't stop the Real Madrid team not to develop as expected.

Perhaps this is why President Florentino Perez brought Jose Mourinho in as manager. He was a coach who could handle egotistical players at Real Madrid in the past, and the president remembered that. Maybe Real Madrid needs a coach like that right now. He must think that success will come with such a manager. I trust Mourinho when it comes to ego and ego management.

after Messi left, PSG finally triumphed. Based on the facts alone, it appears that Messi was the main factor in PSG's failure, and once they got rid of him, things started to improve 

From my point of view, sometimes when a team has a superstar player, the whole team ends up relying too much on him to score, even when he's not in the best position to do so. Meanwhile, other players might be in a much better position to score but don't get the chance because everyone keeps looking for the star.

After that star player left, PSG actually looked better as a team. Their teamwork became more solid, and now whoever has the best chance to score gets the opportunity. It doesn't matter who scores as long as it helps PSG win. I think that's one of the reasons why PSG look more balanced and effective now.
