French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[wakier]

This is very surprising, and I am also surprised because no one would think PSG would sell these two players at the same time to a single team. Ramos is a good alternative striker for PSG especially during injuries, as he can score goals. Even Lee Kang-in is also good in midfield, as he can play as an attacking midfielder or even as a winger. Although selling them to Atletico Madrid will increase Atletico Madrid’s strength, maybe PSG has other plans for different players.

deals are done and sometimes they remain incomprehensible to us mere mortals who cannot see what happens within the team and only they know the mechanisms, which is why it is necessary to accept changes that sometimes seem crazy to us, having said that i would never dream of depriving myself of players of the genre.

We don't know what Luis Enrique is planning for next season but what is certain is that he will do his best for PSG. It is also impossible for Luis to continue using the same players for the following seasons because there will always be changes in the team. This is done so that PSG strength is not monotonous. I am sure that PSG selling these players must have found other alternatives, at least recruiting players who have more quality than them. Let's see what Luis will do next season so that PSG is strong, especially in the UCL competition.

Actually, it's not impossible. If the players have good chemistry, the manager won't want to disrupt it. Of course, there will be new reinforcements and new transfers, but Paris Saint-Germain will want to keep their key players. Liverpool won the Premier League very well last year, but this year, despite signing young and talented players, they haven't been successful in either the Champions League or the Premier League. Therefore, the important thing is to maintain team harmony, and Luis Enrique is doing just that.

Did he not face PSG with hus Flamengo side when they played during the Club World Cup Competition. I could still be wrong but, I can't really recall

That said, he has learnt too much from Diego Simeone. It is high time he put that into a high European competition. I literally have no words to offer right now, we will have to monitor who comes in and who goes. But until then, PSG will always be favourite for the trophy.

You're right, things are very different now. PSG's dominance has ushered in a golden era in Ligue 1, where PSG is the king of France. I really don't see any other team with a sufficient level of competition against them. They are the most dominant because they are the best, and it's very difficult to dethrone them. They've even won the Champions League twice in a row, so that says a lot.

PSG are in their best form now. Luis Enrique has been able to create a great understanding between the players. The relationship between them is also very good. They are strong as a team. PSG is not dependent on any specific player. This is their biggest strength. This is why they can keep their performance stable throughout the season. Stopping this rise of PSG will be challenging for any team. PSG should be considered as hot favorites for the Champions League title next season as well.

PSG and Liverpool are on completely different levels because the change of coach in Liverpool had enough impact, and Arne Slot was not able to handle new signings. This let them down last season, and he lost his job as well, but PSG is having Luis Enrique, and he has enough understanding of PSG and its chemistry.

Most chances they will not do enough transfers because their squad is doing good, but in case they bring new players, these could be for backup, which is surely going to increase their potential in case of having injuries or any other problem. The upcoming Champions league is now their main target because they are well aware that in Ligue 1 they will have no challenge.

Luis Enrique has a great system working nicely. Yes, maybe during the season PSG had some bad time periods in the league.

But the league lacks title competition so much that still PSG made it to the championship with a gap like 6 points. Only 76 points they collected!

That's really low for a team full of amazing players as you know. But the league really has a poor quality that even this doesn't prevent them from being the champions. 

[cakir1]

PSG is a club that dominates the league to a high degree. We all know why. Last season, we witnessed a remarkable achievement in Ligue 1. Lens, which led the league for a while, had a successful season in my opinion, finishing just six points behind PSG. Still, they ended the season with a trophy. PSG’s consistent success in European competitions is a positive development for French clubs. Each season, more French clubs will participate in European tournaments and generate significant revenue from them. If managed effectively, I expect French league teams to become major players in Europe.

Furthermore, big players in Europe can now more easily move to France. Both the country's beauty and the quality of the league make this process easier. Currently, they have the potential to become a league even more prominent than the Italian league. Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League two years in a row, which means more French teams will participate in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain alone has currently brought French football to the top in Europe.

Despite winning the Champions League two times, PSG and French Ligue 1 need enough work and money to have good results and competitiveness in the French League. Their difference in quality is enough from a few other European leagues, making things miserable. New investment is not coming just because of these clubs like Monaco and Marseille facing troubles.

After COVID-19, a few European leagues have a troubling time; even a few are not able to have things as they were doing before this, while investment is essential for increasing quality and having consistency. Just a few clubs are able to survive. This is a big concern right now; English clubs are having a good advantage regarding this.

[Egii Nna]

That would be the same as letting Goncalo Ramos go just to bring in Alvarez and then keep Alvarez on the bench as well.

Instead of looking for another striker, PSG would be better off signing a quality midfielder to strengthen the midfield. On the other hand, adding another forward would only make the squad situation more complicated. PSG's attacking line is already very strong at the moment and doesn't really need any new additions.

I don't even think PSG need a star striker right now. I don't know why those rumours are out there. I wouldn't expect Luis Enrique to feel the need of such signing.

They have been literally winning the Champions League 2 times in a row!    They are doing this without a real striker. Even Dembélé missed so many games but they still made it.

What I’m thinking about PSG is that they want to become stronger and remain stronger even when injuries happens, which means they are preparing themselves ahead of time. To me, it is a good approach. Luis Enrique has a great plan for PSG to become more successful and victories in the future, and we should expect anything from him. In any rumours, there is an element of truth. Although, we all know that PSG do not really need more strikers, they need some defenders.

With two consecutive Champions League trophy for the club, Luis Enrique is doing a fantastic job in the club, I commented him for the effort and amazing job he is doing for the club, I believe he can win more with them.

Although, PSG are not sure of the Champions League next season, it will be very uneven if they have to win the title again for the third time, I want another club to lift the trophy next season, let's see what La Liga teams are cooking for next season.

we need to go and get a proper experience, right now football needs a person like him, this must be a warning to all the teams that want to participate in the champions league or important European championships, regarding Paris Saint-Germain there is no match for anyone for now they are the strongest.

[dezoel]

Exactly, i like the World Cup for this, because it brings out the best in everyone, this is wonderful because it gives us the possibility of discovering other new talents, everyone wants to show off and want to do well to perhaps get signed by some big club, this is necessary for the good of the world's clubs.

The World Cup is just around the corner, but for some Asians, the broadcast time is a bit unfriendly because the games start early in the morning. However, for football fans and certain players, I don't think this is a deterrent because they will still watch it. This time, it looks like it will be even more exciting to watch because there are so many young players from various countries playing, so the coaches can directly see the talent of the new youngsters on the World Cup field.

Yeah, unfortunately it is not going to be at a good time to watch the games, I am guessing there are possibilities where I just end up watching the highlights later on instead of watching the game, because of the time it is going to be.

But in the end, we should not be really wondering why this is the way, because when they gave it to USA, they knew what would happen with the time zone. On top of that, most of the world who watches football, will not be watching at prime time, and they knew it and they did it anyways.

Injury is one thing that almost cost PSG the league title just that their squad depth is better when compared to the rest of the teams in the league that's why PSG got bask to the top even after Lens was having the advantage over them in the league. Truth is that Ligue1 need good competition in the league PSG has dominated them for too long if they continue they will make the league to become do boring because before the beginning of the league they already know who the winner will be.

[LUCKMCFLY]

When a team begins to depend so much on a star among them, it actually works in their disadvantage at some point because if that star is down by injuries or whatever, the team may suffer but for the team that is collectively phenomenal, they always have nothing to fear because their strength is not in centered around a player or a particular set of them, it is usually not an easy one building a team with that collective strength but it is always worth it whenever it is achieved.

There are coaches who can't handle this kind of thing because ego is present in the locker rooms of every team, and there are teams like Real Madrid where a famous player carries much more weight than a coach. That's what always happens. It's better when there are few stars because everyone on the team plays for that star, and there's nothing better than that. Stars tend to cause a lot of problems these days; instead of doing their job, they focus on other things.

The difference in concentration of players to off-field concerns may interfere with productivity of a team. This is not a good case, because this creates a lack of focus in the field and an internal jealousy is stirred. The correct remedy is to enforce actual performance based bonus regime in the field to correct their attention to the primary task.

[FanEagle]

I don't think PSG and Luis Enrique will be willing to part ways with Lee Kang-in and Gonzalo Ramos, because just like you said, both of them have proven to be reliable players whenever Luis Enrique used them in a match well Atletico Madrid just made enquiries to know if apakah are for sell, and since PSG haven't say anything I don't really know if they want to sell Lee Kang-in and Gonzalo Ramos or not.

It's possible that Enrique is releasing both players, even though they are reliable players to rotate, their status as substitutes isn't a priority. Moreover, if Atletico Madrid were to offer Alvarez with the option to buy the two players, Enrique might readily accept the offer, as he's eyeing Alvarez as one of their main strikers. However, this is merely speculation, as long as PSG haven't made a statement, there's nothing we can say about these two players.

Plus, those players could find themselves playing time in other teams, there are many clubs who would love to have those players and play them if they could. So, the fact that they are benched and not getting enough minutes here, is a problem for the players and the club. PSG could utilize them better by selling them and using that money to buy one bigger player.

And that way, they would have a better bench that way, plus they have some money as always, so get another bench player for that, so they turned 2 bench players who do not get minutes, into 2 players who will.

They need to put aside everything else they're thinking about besides football. Because the World Cup is here, and they only get one chance to participate every four years. Besides, there have been countries that haven't participated in this tournament for a long time. Perhaps this will be their only tournament in their careers, so they should forget all their other problems. They should focus entirely on the tournament and enjoy the moment.

Each club has its own way of dealing with situations like this and usually has a plan for how to distribute bonuses to players. PSG in the previous era was unable to achieve their best in the Champions League despite boasting a number of mega stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappé. But look now, PSG's performance has improved significantly, successfully defending the Champions League title for two consecutive seasons. It's not so much the bonus issue that creates jealousy making it difficult for the team to achieve success, but rather how player egos can kill the team's hopes of achieving overall success.

PSG don't need any big player because the squad is complete and they are doing pretty good. There was no bigger player before they won the Champions League back to back. When they had big players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar what was the result. Ego and pride killed the team. PSG has proved that success isn't by bigger players but players that are thirsty to win trophies and play with passion for the club.

We don't know what Luis Enrique is planning for next season but what is certain is that he will do his best for PSG. It is also impossible for Luis to continue using the same players for the following seasons because there will always be changes in the team. This is done so that PSG strength is not monotonous. I am sure that PSG selling these players must have found other alternatives, at least recruiting players who have more quality than them. Let's see what Luis will do next season so that PSG is strong, especially in the UCL competition.

PSG have not made any significant changes to their squad for two seasons. And they have succeeded. They have become champions back to back. They have won both the Ligue 1 and Champions League. Even then, I would say that Enrique should bring some changes to the squad next season. PSG's current squad is also very strong. They have already proven this. Even then, the attack and midfield can be strengthened a bit. If the manager can sub  the players correctly, their injury tendency will also decrease.

[Nahl]

This is very surprising, and I am also surprised because no one would think PSG would sell these two players at the same time to a single team. Ramos is a good alternative striker for PSG especially during injuries, as he can score goals. Even Lee Kang-in is also good in midfield, as he can play as an attacking midfielder or even as a winger. Although selling them to Atletico Madrid will increase Atletico Madrid’s strength, maybe PSG has other plans for different players.

deals are done and sometimes they remain incomprehensible to us mere mortals who cannot see what happens within the team and only they know the mechanisms, which is why it is necessary to accept changes that sometimes seem crazy to us, having said that i would never dream of depriving myself of players of the genre.

Every season the coaches always be evaluated the performance of the teams including Luis Enrique that he will see the weaknesses of PSG and will attempts to improved because i am sure other teams in Ligue 1 will do the same thing too but basically PSG is already solid so, probably Enrique won't do the major change and about the players it is simple that those who playing well will be staying at the main squad and other players who failed to make Enrique impress will put at the bench or they will be sell to other teams but for next season i am sure PSG still continue their domination because from squad quality none of teams from Ligue 1 can equal to them
