Marseille desperately needs major reform right now. In order to compete in the french league next season.



Let's look at the goals conceded and scored above. Look at that. There is no significant disparity between both. It demonstrates that if Marseilla has two problems, de Zerbi must address them here. This must be zerbi's major concerns.
There are two taks zerbi shall do that.

1. Upgrade its attackers.
2. Upgrade its defenses.

I'm not saying de zerbi has to do anything right away, but he must be concerned about it. Zerbi also failed in the EPL. Marseilla can be improved if Zerbi addresses the club's major problems as soon as possible after signing a contract as coach of the club for several years.

PSG has had more money than anyone else in the world, but they havent won the Champions League. Why? They always search for the next great thing and change coaches. They lack direction.

Mbappe leaving calls for wake-up call. Its time to get serious. Look at Manchester City. They've got Guardiola, they've got a system. They construct, they grow, they conquer. They are investing in a future rather than merely throwing cash at the issue.

PSG should thus learn from their book. Stop the chaos, hire a coach you believe in, and let him build. Find some consistency and foster a winning culture. You've got the talent, now you need the brains. Its time to start acting like champions, not just buying them.

Whether or not de Zerbi changes the shape of the whole team, his results will be bad or better is not to be said. According to my opinion, de Zerbi can do well this season. So, big changes can happen in De Zerbi squad. If their preparation is good and if they can play well, their success will be massive. So, since the Premier League will compete and it is a very competitive game - it is necessary to have good playing ability.

If De Zerbi doesn't make major changes to the squad but De Zerbi is able to improve the quality of Marseille's performance next season, then of course that will be very great. After all, managers who carry out major changes do not always succeed in improving the quality of team performance. Therefore, whether De Zerbi change the shape of the entire team or not, but the results can still be good or bad, but regarding De Zerbi, I personally still quite confident that De Zerbi will be able to make Marseille better next season. Indeed, De Zerbi last season with Brighton was not very good but despite this, they still managed to finish in the middle of the standings. Therefore, because the competition in the Premier League is very competitive, then I sure that De Zerbi has good abilities to be able to compete strongly in Ligue 1 next season for Marseille.

We are all quite curious about how PSG will restart their struggle in the Champions League without Mbappe, there is no worry whatsoever about their chances of dominating Ligue 1. It is indeed better for PSG management to change their transfer style, it is not necessary to recruit star players, but they should not waste their budget big for just one player.

It's true, PSG ever been built a star studded squad, their failure to win the Champions League trophy should be an important lesson. PSG management must proceed by building foundations, maintaining good transitions, and building a healthier environment within the team. Enrique is an experienced manager, he has won the Champions League trophy, and I am sure Enrique can lead PSG to success in the future.

Maybe at the start of the season, PSG's performance will be a little unstable, because they are used to Mbappe. Enrique must build new schemes and strategies to continue the struggle with other players.

Youssouf Fofana has made a statement that he will be staying much longer in Monaco but the most problem is until now Youssouf Fofana still have no plan to extended his contract with Monaco so that's why the speculation about his future in Monaco is appears and this season based on his statistics with Monaco Youssouf Fofana can recognized as one of the best holding midfielder in Ligue 1 so i have no wondering if some of big clubs were showing their interest to him and besides Arsenal it says Youssouf Fofana was into Manchester United radar and why they interested to him because Manchester United will lost Sofyan Amrabat because the loan duration of this player have already ended and Sofyan Amrabat will return to Fiorentina besides that Manchester United also will lost Casemiro who linked to Saudi Arabian clubs then they feel Youssouf Fofana is the right player who can replace the position of those players above besides that Manchester United feel with his quality Youssouf Fofana has cheap price because if Manchester United really want him then they only have to spend 30 million so Manchester United feel this is good transfer for them

When a club relies mostly on a player it is will be disaster for the club if the player leaves the club. I agree with you that since Mbappe is gone, it will be a problem to PSG to win UCL. I was thinking that the best time for them to win UCL was last two seasons when they had Mbappe, Messi and Neymar but it was still a floppy for them. Meaning, PSG might still be able to win UCL without Mbappe if they get a good striker and should not depend on only one player but they should get players that are capable of scoring goals. So that is the main player is being focused on in a match, the others can score making the players unpredictable for their opponents.

It seems like you are exaggerating my friend but indeed Nantes and Arsenal are almost no different when it comes to winning major league titles because they have been fasting for more than 20 years. I don't think Nantes can provide a different color in the Ligue One competition which is completely controlled by PSG and it's really difficult for Nantes to even break into the top 10 zone.

Maybe it was a mistake in their management that had this impact because teams like Lyon or Marseille are still quite reliable and have not fallen as far as Nantes in the standings. But I do agree that Nantes would rather survive than prepare for the future. In the end, a once-glorious team like Nantes will be more easily forgotten.

We will be very curious about how PSG will fare next season without Mbappe especially in the UCL. Remembering that Mbappe goal contribution to PSG has succeeded in taking this club to the Semi-Finals. Meanwhile in the Domestic League I wouldn't be too surprised, whether Mbappe is there or not, this club can still be champions every season. The hunt for a striker is underway several names are already on the list: Marcus Rashford, Victor Osimhen, and Leao are the ones I'm listening to so far, but of the three options the one that can come closest to expectations is only Osimhen.

Hopefully with the presence of a new manager at PSG there will be more changes in the PSG team itself, especially in terms of dominating the Champions League and also their own local league because the more difficult level of competition is of course in the Champions League, not in their own local league. . I'm pretty sure that PSG fans still really hope that PSG can win the Champions League, which at least they can get next season because PSG still hasn't experienced the beauty of winning the Champions League during their career.

Did you blame Mbappe when he decided to leave Paris Saint Germain? If it's true, I don't think it's wise to judge someone who wants to pursue their career to make it even better. However, Mbappe is still young and he definitely wants to be more experienced and go to another team, not just stay in one place which is his comfort zone. The reason is that if we talk about comfort, Paris Saint Germain has given him that, he gets a very high salary and he even has privileges that other teams don't have.
In fact, I saw that he made good decisions because he was willing to get out of his comfort zone. Talking about loyalty, I think it should be relevant and to be honest, when there is a business involved, loyalty becomes taboo. I mean will Paris Saint Germain prioritize Mbappe when he is not performing well or he is not a star player? I don't think so, if they did the same thing to just average players, then I think talking about loyalty would be a bit relevant. In short maybe "money knows quality"

Even so, in the last few seasons PSG have played in the Champions League trophy, they have not been able to perform significantly in any of the Champions League trophies. No matter how much they strengthen their team, the highest performance of this team is their local league title.  PSG without Mbappe can certainly win the league title but since they have appointed a quality manager to their club, the manager at least will not want to be content with just winning the league title. The manager will definitely try to do well in the Champions League tournament in addition to dominating them in the league title. Since they have lost several players this season and last season, they will surely sign several players this season.

Not having a striker is a very big problem no doubts but for PSG it's not their biggest of problems, and this is my personal taught, reason been that PSG can always buy a striker, they have got the financial and technical abilities to taking care of all of that but what they seem to not have fixed just yet is the team build up, like I said earlier this is my point of view, just like Madrid and Leverkusen did, they didn't have to buy too many players but the team already have a very firm structure already.

PSG can focus more on building the team even if it means working with the young available players on ground, it will still go a long way helping them attain a better position than they are currently but they seem to have focused more on acquiring top players only with the mind that they are going to get results that way meanwhile these players come and meet no solid structure on ground a d reduce their performance because the team throws some dependency on them thereby giving them some level of burne to bare, contrarily they were supposed to help the team and not bear the teams Borden, so if they keep buy they will keep getting same results.

PSG have still not solved their biggest problem, the lack of a striker who could take Mbappe's place. In fact, PSG needs several good forwards who would completely close this issue. PSG have always had the best strikers, I think that the solution to this issue is taking place slowly because they want to get the best of the best, even so that in the end he becomes better than Mbappe, and is loyal to the team, and does not try to run away to another team where it will be easier to win treasured trophies. The issue of loyalty to the club is also an important point that can affect the player’s results.

Fofana is getting more and more interests from several clubs and he has no intention to renew his contract with Monaco since he wants to get a better salary. Monaco increased his value by €15m to €35m and Arsenal seems putting an eye on him in order to strengthen the midfield of the team.
Lille wants also more money for their defender Yoro and the €50m offered by Liverpool is not enough for them.
I have the feeling Ligue 1 is getting emptied from its stars and they will have serious troubles finding sponsors from now on with the departure of Kylian Mbappe.

Well, in the end there is a positive side taken when Mbappe leaves the squad now because that way now PSG is free from the situation where they must always depend on Mbappe, this does require greater adaptation because indeed changes like this require considerable effort so that the club's condition improves again but on the other hand if in the end they managed to escape this situation then I think they will actually become a club that can have quite good achievements later.
I think when PSG finds a new rhythm then indeed this can be a new bridge to make them change the stigma of their club which really wants to make el clasico in Ligue 1 even though it cannot be denied that their players are relatively expensive but at least with the absence of privileged players then indeed it will make the club's condition better.

Therefore, this is the right way to make a difference for them because after all, making Mbappe untouchable and privileged is a wrong condition from the start so when Mbappe leaves this can open up new paths for PSG.
But it is undeniable that for now PSG is problematic not only about player problems but also in terms of management they are still very problematic because they cannot manage resources and money properly which makes PSG a club that is actually stuck in place and cannot develop even though they are a big club.

Their best achievement in the Champions League is only up to the semi-finals and indeed things like this are clearly not very good for a rich club with an investor (Naser Al-Khelaifi) who is loyal when talking about money.

Over the past years since the new owners of Paris Saint Germaine have taken over the ownership of the club, they've always built the team around their star players but the truth is that in all of these, the star players were able to deliver and help the teams achieve their goals. After the end of the just concluded season, the club's best player of almost the past decade left the club to join Real Madrid and now, the club manager Luis Enrique is saddled with the responsibility of building a Paris Saint Germaine squad that'll be playing more like a team than relying on the individual brilliance of one player to win big games.
Considering the records of Luis Enrique, I strongly believe that he can actually achieve all of that ajd even more. Paris Saint Germaine I strongly believe will continue to dominate the domestic competitions in France and are likely to even spread their dominance to the whole of Europe.

A club that can win a title in the Champions League is a club that is ready with everything in terms of experienced players, experienced coaches and management that can always regulate the movements of players who must be retained or sold and PSG does not have all this.
PSG also failed to maintain consistent performance in the Champions League which should have looked stronger, but this was all caused by dependence on reliable players like Mbappe and made the club unable to form a higher quality performance and be ready to compete in the Champions League.

It takes a long time for a club to win the Champions League title and it all requires a lot of patience to maintain several parties who can make a difference every season.
We can see from the example of clubs from other leagues such as Manchester City which always retain reliable players but also retain their coaches, so that the coaches and players change every season with improvements in performance.
If PSG wants to win the champions league title, PSG should be able to imitate clubs from other leagues.

Luis Enrique must build a more collective squad, not relying on just one star player, Mbappe departure opens the way to realizing this mission. Management and club officials should also be in the same direction as Luis Enrique in building squad depth, and they should also retain the manager in the long term. If they continue to try to get instant results, PSG will never win the Champions League trophy, in fact they have built the best squad with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but failed. All players must be happy, their existence must be considered equally important, that way they will appear solid. Mbappe departure will make other players shine, that's for sure. The opportunity will come to PSG, although not in the near future, but they have to prepare very well, and start as a team, not with one or two of their star players.

Frequent Coach changes could account for their insatiably and inconsistency in their performance so far in the league, they have been unable to really gotten to the point where they will be able to get to even be seen amongst top elite teams always in the Ligue 1, tho they were able to put up when what looked like a good performance last season but they still weren't able to pull through well enough in the Europa or even the Ligue 1 which happens to be their domestic league this season. Marseille have gat to first work on getting a good coach after which they work on the team

The stability of a coach around them should be made paramount and not them firing coaches at anytime they feel like it's okay by them to do such, the impact of the consistent change of coach is such that cannot be over emphasized as they will in no time begin to see that their squad will not have a definite style and pattern of play and will aswell not be able to properly maintain a particular dynamics over a period of time, rather they will just be going with any pattern available and reducing their chances at been able to win games enough to the point of been at the top of the league or even a chance to win the trophy.
