Ligue 1 will not be able to be dominated by other teams this season because PSG is still a strong team without Mbappe in it, but the size of PSG's strength will be truly measured when PSG competes in the Champions League this season. Because in Ligue 1 there is still no one who is able to break the power and dominance of PSG even though PSG is no longer strengthened by Mbappe and I was never surprised by PSG's two wins at the start of this League because other teams are still unable to match the strength that PSG has this season.
Lille and Monaco also started well and have the same number of points as PSG, I think it is too early to draw such conclusions, and most likely this happens based on the results of previous seasons, when other teams could not keep up with the pace with which PSG moved. The reason for this is also the financial capabilities of the team, no one can compare with PSG in this, so the absence of Mbappe will not be a problem for PSG, or any other player who wants to leave the team, because they will be able to take their place several others, perhaps no worse.

Unfortunately in the second week Marseille only drew against Reims, even though I had hoped they could repeat the same victory as last week. Sad

But it must be admitted that Reims is not an easy opponent so Marseille also had a hard time winning. Conceding two goals in 5 minutes was a fatal mistake for Marseille and they have work to do to immediately fix their fragile defense.

If it weren't for Mason Greenwood with the goal he scored in the 71st minute, the result would have been clear if Marseille would have lost in front of their fans. The reason is that Reims' defense has long been known to be so difficult to break down and Mason Greenwood is very smart at finding gaps. I am still very impressed with this English talent and I feel that Marseille should not waste him and must continue to support him as a main part of the team.
Marseille should improve their skills and performance because I expected win from that team . That team could not defend in the mid of match. But we have to appreciate that team because they did well in that match and they gave their hundred percent to win this match. Harit did first goal of the match and he was good player of this match because his goal played crucial role in this match. But I am impressed by two players of Reims team ,Akieme did first  goal at 51 minutes. and Fofana did  second goal for his team and the gao between two goals was only 5 minutes. That is good performance by that team .They returned in the match by doing back to back goals but they should be result because every team want result.

After Mbappe left PSG, I thought PSG would be an average team again and other teams would be able to match them. But 2 wins with 10 goals and 1 conceded made me think that this season it seems like PSG has become a solid team and plays collectively as a team, not just making one person as a target man. PSG's gameplay in the first 2 league matches really surprised me. It was beyond my expectation. The next match is against LOSC, a team that also collected 6 points. It will be an interesting match. But it seems that with PSG's current performance it will still be difficult for other teams to beat their dominance in Ligue 1.

Marseille should stop losing points if they still want to keep racing with PSG like they usually do each season. Marseille is definitely a good team and they have good players in this team but I think one good point in Marseille is about Mason Greenwood the new player of Marseille.
They are lucky to have this player because the only reason a player like Greenwood playing for Marseille is about the drama that happened for him Manchester United.
After seeing what Marseille has done this season by recruiting many good players, of course we hope their can give PSG a strong resistance, especially now that Marseille is handled by a coach who last season was able to lift Brighton performance in the Premier League, a balanced combination of talented players and experienced coaches certainly makes me believe that this season PSG will no longer be easy in winning Ligue 1 because of Marseille,  Lille and Monaco have seen drastic improvements in their squads, but what happened to Marseille in the second week certainly raises a bit of doubt for us to see them as PSG contenders at the moment.

In the previous match Marseille played amazingly destroying Brest with a score of 5-1 and in the match against Reims they almost lost at home if Greenwood did not score in the 71st minute, Reims who have a performance and quality that is not better than Brest is had able to make the Marseille defense very troublesome and I think for now de zerbi still have time to strengthen their defense before the transfer market closes, As for the attacking line, of course they have experienced a drastic improvement since the arrival of Greenwood and Elye Wahi to the squad.

Entering the 3rd week of Ligue 1 this season, Paris Saint Germain will face LOSC. In my opinion, this will be an interesting match that will take place in the 3rd week. They are a club that can achieve maximum results in the previous 2 matches, so their meeting will determine who among them will continue to win and who will have to accept their first defeat, or they will share points in this match. I expect a lot from LOSC in this match, because if they can hold a draw or even give Paris Saint Germain a defeat, it will arouse the passion of competition in Ligue 1. Because you can imagine how difficult it is to break the dominance of Paris Siant Germain in the last few seasons, so if they can be defeated in this match, it will open the tap of enthusiasm for other clubs.

With the performance I have seen with Paris Saint-German this season so far they are capable of defeating LOSC, it may be an interesting match but PSG is the favorite to win the match, I said before that PSG is going to struggle this season because best player that leaves the team which is Kylian Mbappe but PSG prove me wrong by showing good performance and be winning games even against some strong opponents, although they haven't face all the opponents this season but believe me PSG can win the league title this season again.

Signing Joao Neves is the best opinion that PSG made, what a good player, he is a young player and also a midfield player that can run and move to the box and help the team to score goals, he is just 19 year's and he is taking a team to the next level, he makes four assist in 2 games which describe him as a good player that deserves more minute and I believe if he has more chance to play he will help PSG this season and also in the future.

Without Mbappe, PSG is still fine. This is true, at least for now. PSG has now become a team "richer in team spirit, despite having fewer stars" and coach Luis Enrique is taking the first steps towards satisfactory results. The key to PSG's rise is the speed and technique of the attacking trio - Ousmane Dembélé - Marco Asensio - and Bradley Barcola. Notably, a star emerged with an impressive performance, contributing nearly 1/3 of the team's total goals (Bradley Barcola), a 21-year-old French talent.

Another reason why PSG is still a strong team in this tournament is that most Ligue 1 teams are struggling when Mpappe leaves. After Kylian Mbappe left, many Ligue 1 teams faced financial difficulties due to reduced television rights revenue. However, PSG's situation is the opposite. PSG is still "healthy" after parting ways with the French striker. The consequences for the entire league have been seen, with very few clubs able to spend money on new players in the transfer market.

In round 3, PSG promises to have more difficulty when visiting Lille - the team that finished fourth last season. This game will help us make sure PSG is fine without Mbappe.

Mason Greenwood is actually a good player, it's just that he was involved in a scandal that made his career not run smoothly and he took a lot of rest before he started being loaned to other clubs, previously he was loaned to La Liga club Getafe for one season and he created 6 goals and 6 assists in all matches, unfortunately this club could not make it permanent because maybe they couldn't afford to buy Mason Greenwood from Man United but Marseille was willing to buy him and give him a place as a main player, currently he has scored 3 goals from the 2 matches he has played, I think he can compete in the top scorer race if he continues to score goals in every match.

Mason Greenwood's career nearly hit the rock because of the case of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour. He got a lifeline when key witnesses decided not to cooperate with investigators and the case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Against all odds like protests from Marseille fans Roberto De Zerbi believed in the English striker. The Italians vowed to defend Greenwood as a son and looks like the Italian coach made the right decision. Three goals from two games is a historic performance by a Marseille player and if he continues this way, he will celebrated in Ligue One.   
Usually, players who are involved in scandals will find it difficult to continue their careers because they will receive a lot of criticism from the club they will defend and they have to turn a deaf ear to it in order to continue their football career because they are only 22 years old so it would be a shame if their careers were ruined while they have the talent to show their abilities.
The interim results are quite good, I hope he can continue like that so that people's hatred of him turns into praise, he might be able to become a new star in League 1 replacing Mbappe if he can continue to score goals in every match.

It seems I was wrong after previously saying that Lyon was able to beat Monaco at home and on the contrary Lyon was humiliated with a score of 0-2. Lyon has no fighting spirit at all and they are like imprisoned in their own home with no way to escape from the door.

The difference in ball possession is very clear where Monaco is superior with 60% and Lyon only 40%. In addition, Lyon was also unable to shoot a single shot on target throughout the match and on the contrary Monaco was far superior with 6 shots on target. Ben Seghir opened the first goal in the 65th minute and was followed by the second goal scored by Camara in the 80th minute. It was a truly satisfying result for Monaco and if I may be honest I am starting to worry that Lyon will experience the same fate as last season.
Lyon did a drama like last season when at the start of the season to the second half of the season, Lyon appeared very badly. But after approaching the end of the season, Lyon appeared very strongly able to finish in the top 6 positions. I wonder what Lyon is planned at this time but always happens at the beginning of the season always performs poorly but I am not too far into the problems that occur with Lyon but I'm still sure this team will do the same thing.
BTW, Monaco is also still the same as last season with big ambitions but still with his best appearance to secure 2 wins and is currently competing with Lille who currently also appears more consistent without conceding.
Lyon lost a significant advantage by losing on their home field. The matches you play on your home field for three points are very valuable. If you cannot get three points, you need to investigate where you made a mistake. Paris Saint-Germain will win the championship for League One. Everyone, both partial and impartial, has now accepted this. Olympique Lyon, Monaco, Lille are the other teams competing to be second. Olympique Lyon, on the other hand, did not get a point because they were defeated in the first two matches, and their chances of being second are getting weaker day by day.

Two games and two losses are what Lyon got so far in this season and it was not good for this team to get these results yet. Lyon lost the game to Monaco with a 2-0 result however Manaco is a strong team but these two games can't put Lyon in a bad situation and this can even the coach under pressure for the next game. Lyon was even close to getting relegated in the last season and they got their coach fired because of these bad results. It seems now just like the last season they still had a bad start during this season.
Last year, in the second season of the league, Olympique Lyon put in a magnificent performance. I can't remember the statistics exactly, but I think they were one of the two teams that collected the most points in the second half of the league, along with Paris Saint-Germain. They are a team that we expected to play in the French league this year, but they didn't earn any points in either match. Monaco is a strong team, it's understandable that they lost to them, but their next matches will be in a much more critical position.

Anyway, Mason Greenwood, who was bought from Man United, this time became Marseille's savior with his goal after falling behind Reims, so they could end in a draw.
Greenwood has turned out to be one of the best signings Marseille did in the last summer, sometimes it feels like certain things does happens for good because after greenwood had issues t Manchester United it felt like his career meeting it's end but here is a been of hope again and he's just set record in his new team something he wouldn't have achieved at Manchester United.
For some reason, players who have problems at Man United or who play badly at the club, they will play well and make significant contributions to their new clubs. One of them is Greenwood. Always, personal problems with the coach and others, many talented players end up stuck and end up really badly at Man United.

The two teams that are currently undefeated will meet each other in a few days and for now of course the match can be categorized as a bigmatch, so far PSG has not have a strong rival to stop them
Last season, LOSC was able to be in 4th position and this was quite a good achievement. It's just that this season, some of their main players were bought by other clubs, Especially Leny Yoro who strengthened their defense line who went to Man United. So I'm also quite worried whether LOSC can at least hold PSG to a draw, it seems impossible, PSG will definitely win.

From H2H, PSG dominated the victory, with a lot of goals. So, PSG's chance to repeat it again and maintain unbeaten matches

When he was involved in an act of violence some people predict Mason Greenwood career has been ended but he can reverse people's predictions and can able to bounce back from the lowest point in his career and everything was started when he playing for Getafe because Mason Greenwood can reach to his top performance again with this team and successfully to bringing Getafe to avoiding relegation zone so after loaned ended some of clubs has showing their interest to him

Mason Greenwood so far became an the most expensive transfer for Marseille this summer with 26 million but i think this price is worth considering he can adapt quickly with Marseille and performing well in the last 2 matches of Ligue 1 besides Mason Greenwood i have been notice Marseille has Elye Wahi and i think this is successfull transfer too similar to Mason Greenwood so these players potentially can being an the key players of Marseille for this season
Mason Greenwood is amazing talent due to off the field issues his career was in trouble but with his dedication and hard work he is doing good job and bringing himself in limelight his performance at the Getafe bring many big clubs in intention to sign him with at the end we have Marseille having this skilled player into their squad he is going to be had good future here with things will be at his best and he will give his best for having new start of his career here in France.

After just two games he is having 3 goals and good contribution in start of season for his club things are looking good, and we can expect Marseille will be at his best after having bad end of last season even currently most of the top French clubs are facing quality issue and having not good start of their season, but we will have good competition in coming days while all will be at his best.

Most definitely this is going to be a really interesting game, for me I'm looking at watching a power tussel lol, Marseille over the summer got a whole lot of new players who were perceived to good players and would want to get the team to a position where they are able to get to contend to staying at the top of the table, PSG has got a very nice squad and has got a good depth that is able to contend any team in the league, and Marseille are looking fortified at the moment but then I want to see what exactly what it will look like between this two teams and I can wait to catch the thrill.

It's very strange what happens in Ligue 1, because in most of the big leagues there are always at least 2 best teams that compete with each other. For example, in La Liga there's Barcelona and Real Madrid; Serie A has Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli; the Bundesliga now has Leverkusen and Bayern, who were always number 1; in Portugal there's Sporting, Porto, Benfica; in Holland the Eredivisie has PSV, Feyenoord and Ajax; in Turkey there's Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. But strangely enough, in Ligue 1 there's only PSG, the other teams don't even have a 20% chance of competing with PSG. And it's not a league where PSG, even when they don't make a big effort, will be able to be champions. I don't expect any team to appear in Ligue 1 that will start to be an opponent for PSG.
Here we have nothing new because this is already talked many times with French Ligue 1 is facing lack of funds and things are never been going on good for the few clubs which are facing troubles due to lack of quality usually we have them down like we have again few clubs having good end of last season now having no near their best Lyon, Brest and Nice all re at the bottom which is surely big dilemma for them, and they have to do something for increasing their finances and having good players like we have in PSG.

Due to good investment we have improvement in Marseille and Monaco, but mostly others are having troubling time Lens and Lille are also doing good, but one thing is sure without any big name PSG is still dominating team in this league, and we will have no big threat for them as they are having impressive start of their season.

I do agree with that, if you ignore the legal issues that he had, he was a great player and Marseille did a great job buying him, I mean troubles happen in everyone's life and as long as he is out and not jailed, that means he is not currently under arrest or in prison, which means that he can play football, and if he is going to play football, I rather him playing in my team than anywhere else, that would make more sense.

I get that it's a hard thing to make this work, and I understand that it will be very tough to make it happen, we just need to make sure that he gets his time, and there isn't really anything wrong with him at the same time. It's clear that we are facing issues with legal backlog but Mason Greenwood is cleared enough to play anyway.

This is quite bad for Nice, they only collected 1 point after losing to Auxerre and lastly drawing against Toulouse. That is not the usual result we see from Nice where last season they were very competitive in getting full points even with only a small 1-0 win. No wonder I started to think that Nice might not be able to repeat the same season here.

On the other hand, Rennes also cannot be relied on where they lost again against Strasbourg. Surely they still don't believe it considering H2H Rennes always beat Strasbourg but indeed in the meeting last season at Strasbourg's home ground Rennes could not win and that result was repeated last week.

Well, this week if Nice still fails to get full points against Angers then they will be thrown to the bottom of the table and vice versa for Rennes this week will still feel tough considering their opponent is Reims.

Based on their head to head record, in fact PSG has a good winning record when playing against Lille. Thus, then I think PSG still has a great chance to keep getting points, whether only sharing points with a draw result or also with a victory with three points. Because after all, considering also that Lille still have to play in the Champion League play off round this moment and thus, at least PSG have better time and preparation compared to Lille.

Although indeed, I also still believe that Lille still has the ability to make it difficult for PSG to win because after all, Lille also plays at home. Also, Lille still has clean sheets so far even though PSG is the top team in the standings with a lot of goals scored, but it still seems not easy for PSG to beat Lille. But yes, with that factor and the point is that I personally remain confident that PSG will not lose points in the away match against Lille.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Greenwood is only 22 years old. He has had such a good start that I am sure Manchester United regretted letting him go. He was good in Spain last year, he looks good in France this year. He may return to England soon. Mason Greenwood was also playing well in Manchester United but his career came to an end due to the problems he had. He continues to stand out with his individual talents.
What he did off the field made his career a bit stalled and eventually made some teams reluctant to bring him into the squad. In terms of ability he is one of the talented players, but in this case I can't blame anyone because they must also think and see the attitude or behavior of the player.

I think he is still lucky because in the end there is a team that recruited him and gave him playing minutes, namely Marseille. Some people might say to be professional and forget the mistakes he made, after all it was also off the field. But it won't be easy, as easy as saying that, everything must have a process and I think it is a social punishment.
