Kasper Schmeichel has agreed to join Nice and his move is subject to Leicester finding a replacement of the goalkeeper. Schmeichel is on his last year of contract, so the move isnt as unexpected as it might seem on the surface. He's a club legend at Leicester and has spoken earlier that he'd like to play in the Champions League again before he retires. Well, Nice ain't the club for that but I guess he's settle for now.

PSG vs Nantes is for France Super Cup and the match will starting on this Sunday apparently this is opening match before entering new season and as usual PSG will be the favourite and the odds for PSG is @1.4 and Nantes @7.7 so i think bet for PSG is easy money because in my opinion they are will going to win the match especially last year PSG failed to get the trophy because lose from Lille so i think they had ambition to get their first trophy this season through this match
No doubt keep bet for PSG although with @1.4 odds given because easy to win without make Nantes as weakness team but looking PSG have full team on this time, few days later match between PSG vs Nantes looks interested because will be revenge for PSG ever defeated by Nantes on Ligue 1 last season. I think PSG have been forget what bad result last season when against with Nantes and on 1st August will be moment for PSG get first trophy with new manager Christophe Galtier after replacing position from Pochettino, will he success with first trophy for PSG or Nantes make new history.

In the previous match 2021 versus Lille, Neymar and Mbappe didn't in the squad, that's why they lost. Lille also break out the domination of PSG 5 times in a row, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019, So in the next Sunday, if PSG didn't turn in the full squad without Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe, the champion title can't get it back even have good odds and we will not necessarily to get easy money,

Personality wise, Neymar is a cool dude and I can tell you that much, can't tell you how I know it. Dude may not be the type of player that is a leader, or a superstar aura or anything like that, dude is just the class clown that likes to have fun and that's it, he doesn't take it too much seriously. So, is it a problem or not?
Well, it is a problem when you lose to Real Madrid and you look over your shoulder and see Neymar just shooting a video for his insta or something and doesn't seem as pissed as you, but seems like a good thing when you are winning because you would want to be around a player that would make you happy. Hence, it's not really a black or white answer.
Yes I also think it's a normal attitude but when there is a case of harassment then it can be a serious problem, but apart from that I don't have any problem with Neymar either. Maybe there is one of his actions in the field that his colleagues don't like about diving, because these actions are also often the subject of memes on social media. Because if I look at PSG's finances themselves they still have no problem keeping Neymar at least until his contract expires, I also don't really know why this rumor about Neymar being available for sale has become news.

I don't think it's easy money because it's unknown what shape the teams are in. Last season, PSG had a lot of games when at the beginning they played poorly and even conceded first, and then they fought back with difficulty and won. I wouldn't be surprised if regular time ended in a tie, which would ruin your bet and the result would be decided in extra time.
PSG should be able to beat Nantes in the French Super Cup which will start in a few days. Moreover, PSG played quite well in friendly matches,
although the opponent they are facing is a club from Japan whose level is still far below PSG. So I'm quite optimistic that PSG can beat Nantes.
But I agree that PSG won't necessarily be able to beat Nantes easily, because the previous season PSG also suffered several defeats against
weaker teams. So still PSG should not underestimate Nantes, even though the quality of PSG's players is much better.
After all the French Super Cup is the opening match before the Ligue 1 competition starts, at least a team like Nantes will try to play as well as
possible. So PSG have to play carefully and don't focus too much on attacking, because of the possibility that Nantes will play defensively and
take advantage of counter-attacks to score goals. But I believe that Galtier, who has also been a successful coach of Lille and Nice, should be
very familiar with the game from Nantes. So I think Galtier already has an effective strategy to deal with Nantes. So like I said PSG have a very
big chance to beat Nantes, but not a game that will be easy for PSG to win.

It is also clear that Paris Saint-Germain is not desperate to keep Neymar. The club wants to cut down on expenses and they also want to rebuild the team around Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Neymar Junior is not a humble player and his personality clash with Mbappe would cause more harm than good to PSG. The best option he has now is to leave the team even if it would lead to a cut in his pay. Age is no longer on his side and he is always prone to injury, hence he should not expect much from the transfer market. If he still wants to remain in PSG, then he must work harder to improve his play and be humble.
What happens is that the attitude or rather the personality of the player Neymar Jr has always been like that, he looks like he's arrogant, although I think the player is really humble, and apart from that the player has a lot of competition, he's a player who always wants to dominate, even in Barcelona he always wanted to kick the free kicks when he knew that Messi was in charge, with the Uruguayan at PSG he also had his friction, it will be to wait and see how the player performs in the league.Regardless of what he does, critics will criticize him. Neymar is being ridiculed as if he's not a prime rib pack in the world of football. It is not necessary for Neymar to prove himself to anyone, as he recently spoke out. Considering the stats, his only crime is giving into injury. If their coach agrees with his play mode, then he don't have to prove themselves right to anyone. The Brazilian star is one of the best players in the world and a samba boy. All these controversy could be avoided if he was disciplined and focused. In the big stages such as the UCL, PSG needs him to remain consistent and deliver.

Today PSG played a friendly team with an easy team, at first I thought which team this is for Osaka, then I figured it out. We watched the passing traffic of Neymar and Messi, and they played a good game by passing without any effort as they were an easy opponent. Already two goals came from penalties. Osaka was not bad offensively, at least they were able to score two goals against PSG.
Gamba Osaka is a very weak team still under Kawasaki Frontale, it's only natural that PSG can score more a goals. Only Nuno Mendes goal amazed for me, it turned out that he was able to get a chance to score goals. By the way, there will be another match between PSG - Nantes, if I'm not mistaken maybe this week I remember at the match statistics, the average is 3 goals more and PSG are still be favorite to win.
July 26, 2022, 03:48:22 AM
However, I believe that Pep wants Neymar and let's remember that PSG will pay half of his salary and Man city has the money to pay 3 times the salary of Neymar.
Pep Guardiola doesn't want Neymar, he said it during their pre-season tour in the USA that Neymar is a good player but that Manchester City are not going to buy him, from my understanding of Guardiola and his coaching methods, a player like Neymar would not fit perfectly in his team, Guardiola likes players that follow every of his instructions, he wants them to play the way he wants, Neymar is a player that likes to freely run around with the ball, take too many touches and complete dribbles, even when not necessary, Guardiola will have many problems with him if he is his manager.PSG is going to dominant in French League and Champions League challenge is also on their Cards but this need some very good depth in team and better understanding between players which is not possible in presence of Neymar which is selfish player and never respect other star players which is going to be big problem.

Probably yes, but he knows he will have the immediate task of winning UCL AND there is also the thing about Mbappe supposedly having a say n the club direction. This isn't clear to me what it is or if a coach like Zidane could tolerate powershare.
Having Zidane in the ranks of a team and being the France coach at the same time, this will attract more attention, it is well known the impeccable work he did when he was the technical director of Real Madrid, he did not see any failure, I also remember even when CR7 began to have some problems with the Treasury of Spain and only Zidane managed to keep him for his team. Zidane not only represents being a good coach, I think he can transmit much more to him if he focuses as a player, sometimes when they played some short shots, when they trained, Zidane also got in to play and I miss seeing that mastery and class for his feints, really For me he is a very complete technician.
Well, maybe he thought one Ronaldo was enough, but to handle 5 of them (of course Messi being the only real contender but you've got big egos and big delegations all at PSG too) maybe was too much for him.
Anyway. Am I being dumb for thinking to take PSG outright winners for both UCL and Ligue 1? I already have Barcelona but I can't help that.
I'm thinking also Monaco over 20x to win Ligue 1. I have a feeling!
@slaman29 had Zidane turned up at PSG then he would have inherited a rich talented squad, and by selling few player’s he could have easily stitched a very strong squad as per his needs, and only then would have I said that PSG are the favourites to win the champions league this season. However now I expect Manchester City to finally win the champions league this year, and I also doubt that PSG will lose the league title again hence in my opinion it’ll be PSG who’ll be winning the Ligue 1 title.
Yes, without a doubt for me PSG will be the owner and lord of the French Ligue 1, also what I like about PSG is that they do not skimp on expenses, that is, they do not mind spending the money that is necessary to have the therefore for me in the UCL the ones that have the best team are Man City, PSG and Real Madrid (until now), but for me all this will change any team after seeing and knowing the new players or stars that come out of the world cup, always in the whole world stars come out that can be requested by the clubs with the most money in the world, and of course see new styles of games.

Nordi Mukiele moving to Paris Saint Germain is a smart move for the Frenchman. PSG new coach, Christophe Galtier seems comfortable with the 24year coming to Paris to undergo medical in the coming days. Although, Nordi Mukiele had several links with other club but his agents and the player have agree 100% to join the Ligue 1 giant. Chelsea was having the Frenchman on their rader but unfortunately for them, they couldn't secure the deal because of entering the bid late.
Nordi Mukiele is indeed a young defender who has very good potential. Moreover, playing with Leipzig since 2018 has made Mukiele as a defender
more mature. So it's a pretty smart move for PSG to get Mukiele, moreover the price of Nordi Mukiele is also quite cheap. Mukiele is prepared as
a coating for Hakimi at right-back or it can also be a coating for Sergio Ramos at the center-back position. Because Mukiele is a versatile player
who can be placed in various positions, Mukiele can also play as a defensive midfielder. It seems that since Luis Campos has served as PSG's sporting
director, PSG's spending of money is much more controlled. So far PSG have not spent a large amount of money as usual in the transfer market.
Because there is no guarantee that buying expensive players can make PSG have a good performance. I am even more curious about PSG's performance
next season, with the collaboration between Luis Campos and Christophe Galtier in leading PSG.

Today Neymar has clarify regarding his rumours linked to Man City and Chelsea that in PSG he was happy and want to stayed and help PSG to win more trophies but he will respect every decisions made by PSG whether they will decided to sell him or not and on the other hand PSG almost deal for transfer Nordi Mukiele from RB Leipzig that the fee for this player is 12 millions Euro plus 4 million Euro bonus and reported currently PSG and Mukiele agent will discuss about contract detail
I heard that he is happy now at PSG and that he wants to stay there but It seems to me that PSG does not want Neymar. Some people think that Neymar would not fit in city, since they have great strikers like Foden, Mahrez and Halaand. However, I believe that Pep wants Neymar and let's remember that PSG will pay half of his salary and Man city has the money to pay 3 times the salary of Neymar. Besides, isn't City looking for a full-back to distribute the ball to Haaland? Right now, they only have it on the right side.For PSG to keep Neymar is just bleeding money. He is not contributing much to the team. And he is just getting a lot of money for just being on the team. I really don’t think that him joining Manchester City is going to be causing any problems for Manchester City. If anything he will be making the team a lot stronger. But the question is, is Neymar willing to leave PSG right now? And if he is, how much is Manchester City willing to pay for this player?
They already know that he is not doing well at PSG. But it is obvious that PSG does not want him on the team anymore. But I think Neymar wants to stay because he would like to play alongside Lionel Messi.
