Topic: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) - page 227. (Read 195457 times)

We're trying to win the Champions League, the title the Qatari millionaires have yet to win, not just manage celebrities. Heavily controlled Ligue 1. Enrique has to win European gold as the other coaches failed. Even though losing Messi and Ramos is a setback, Enrique can start again with his new team

No need to replace those guys; create a fresh identity and a team that plays together. Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen might dominate Ligue 1. Yamal's youth and PSG's commitment are impressive. Another season is crucial for Enrique. His Champions League championship must be proven. It will be legendary if he does this

However, one thing that is certain is that PSG will still win Ligue One even without Mbappe. Apart from that, I think PSG will be able to mature more without relying on just one player and with this they can develop further as a strong group. I think it's only a matter of time before everything becomes a reality and Luis Enrique will definitely do everything to create an ideal squad without any star players.

In the end, I started to respect PSG's management because so far they have always recruited potential young players and not only pursued the pleasure of hunting for great players on the market. Because basically it won't be useful as long as they can't do anything in the Champions League and that's a curse that they haven't been able to extinguish until now.

And from here I asked the clubs in Logue 1 other than PSG who didn't seem to have much interest in attracting big players in order to become a new competitor for PSG or because of limited budgets. If the situation in Ligue 1 continues like this then there will be no changes in the future regarding the future and the status of Ligue 1 is increasingly declining. So it makes sense that when Mbappe left, Ligue 1 popularity declined in the eyes of football fans. In the past we could still see the existence of Nice, Marseille, Lyon and Monaco but now they have really lost their role.

We really don't know how a team like PSG will develop next season and in the seasons to come, but what you said is actually enough of an example that a team can still rise with new players recruited by its coach into the squad. And this could also happen to PSG in the coming seasons because the good players are not only Mbappe, but there are also many other seeds that the team can use for this. PSG fans can only hope for the best for PSG next season by no longer having to depend on just one player.

It's not really about the skill of Mbappe however he was a good player in PSG but it's about the time he spent there as a superstar player. Since he was playing there for years many strategies they used were based on this player and the team worked with this player for a long time but now since he left PSG, this can definitely damage the team and make PSG feel this gap in the players.
They will surely try hiring some other player to fill the place of Mbappe in PSG but I think there won't be any player for it and as Enrique said they should fill his place with teamwork.

But if you think about it now that the gap has narrowed and PSG are now looking more likely to be competitive it will make the French league 1 matches more interesting as teams can have much clearer expectations of their city teams, I think it's also pretty good for the health of the league that isn't just dominated by PSG the last few seasons.

Yes although I would also like PSG to do much better, and Luis Enrique to give PSG another trophy, but if they lose it's not bad for the league, but maybe LUis will risk his career if this season doesn't get a win in the domestic league, especially if they don't qualify for the champions league it will end badly, but that's unlikely, I think at least Enrique will compete very well despite not having star players in their squad anymore.

More important players than Mbappe? I mean there are of course really talented names in the squad but I don't think any of them are more important yet. Mbappe is one of the best players in today's football. He is on the way to be a very special player just as Messi and Ronaldo have become.

Maybe we would still watch the Ligue 1 often but it doesn't mean everyone will do the same. That was what I was trying to talk about. There are many people who have been following PSG to watch especially Mbappe. Star players have a big impact on many people about this topic. Lastly I don't think Mbappe is an ordinary player even though he had a terrible Euro 2024 run. 

So far Mbappe is a player who has had a big influence on the PSG squad so it is not surprising that there will be a big effect left after Mbappe's departure, but football is not about one player and when a team is left by a player, another player will definitely replace him regardless of status these players, what is happening to PSG now is no different from when Madrid lost Ronaldo and Barcelona lost Messi, but in fact they can slowly let go of their dependence on these two players after new players appeared which they could rely on, that's why Enrique should be able to look for other players  to can replace Mbappe next season, even though the player is not a star but he must still have a high scoring instinct and be able to work well in a teams.


The gap will still exist but it will not be as big as when Mbappe was still at PSG, so far we know how much ego and privileges Mbappe has at PSG and this indirectly disrupts the stability of the team, so when Mbappe leaves PSG now that should be the case will make Enrique job in forming a more collective team easier, currently Enrique only needs to look for some new players and also form a team framework so he can apply a collective playing system like when he coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​if only Enrique was able to implement the system games like when he coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​I am quite sure they will be able to win the Champions League in the future especially with strong financial support from PSG.

I don't agree with the idea that PSG no longer depends much on Kylian Mbappe. I need you to review the matches when PSG was without Kylian Mbappe. And the achievements he has achieved in the PSG shirt. I watched and reiterated that, when the French striker was forced to sit on the bench or be replaced early in 3 consecutive matches in Ligue 1, PSG drew all 3 matches. When he returned to the starting lineup, PSG won all 3 in all competitions. Mbappe is so good that this will give Luis Enrique a headache.
But anyway, I agree that Luis Enrique without Kylian Mbappé, would still be successful at PSG. To do this, of course, the PSG leadership will prepare to bring in a striker who will fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe. Luis Enrique has two issues that need to be resolved immediately: the issue of who is a suitable replacement for Mbappe and rebuilding PSG into a united team. Luis Enrique and his team face the big challenge of creating a powerful PSG in Europe. Ligue 1 is still under their domination, and the Champions League is always a nightmare for PSG. And without Kylian Mbappe, this award may still be far away from them.

Obviously the gap in PSG created by the exit of mbappe is something that PSG has to definitely get fixed because if they don't, it will be a huge problem to them and the season is about to start again so it's important they get such vital replacements before it turns out a serious problem on their side, but I believe that Enrique wouldn't allow his team turn out Messy due to the absence of a particular player evwnnif ehs been really vital to them while he did stayed in the team. Tho it may seem like it will be difficult but it's still very possible that they may get a new good replacement who may literally fit in so well but we may be thinking otherwise till the performance comes up and we get to see the results within and at the end of the Season.

For this season only Mbappe is leaving and although this could have a bigger impact, it could be a good thing for Enrique to manage PSG the way he wants to do.
Mbappe is indeed the backbone of PSG until this season ends but the level of ego and authority given to Mbappe from PSG makes him difficult to control which makes his treatment different from other players. So with him gone it is clear that now no one is differentiated in terms of position by the club and competition will become healthier.
Although it cannot be denied that the possibility of his performance will experience problems, especially when talking about the Champions League, this transition can be a positive thing in the end for PSG in the future.
 

Folks, losing Mbappé is important. Amazing talent, a star. You know, PSG might find advantage in this. Luis Enrique is a winner. He creates teams involving several people. He accomplished it in Barcelona and can in Paris. Enrique can start afresh when Mbappé is gone. He may call in driven, hungry immigrants. I know they are looking for a Euros star. That might fundamentally alter everything. We may now see group efforts rather than single acts. Championships are earned in such manner.

PSG is entering a new era then. Some ambiguity, but many of possibilities. Enrique has chance to flourish here. You are right. One can gamble on him. He has vision, guts, and knowledge to turn PSG into a formidable force. Just watch.

I'm sure the club and Enrique have prepared something for their squad next season, including targeting the players they want, especially as the team needs. Maybe, if currently PSG is just waiting for the right moment, especially after the Euro and Copa America championships end. Maybe after that, PSG will be more aggressive in bringing in the newcomers they are targeting. It could be that PSG has actually held negotiations and private meetings with several agents or players targeted by PSG itself. What is certain is that Mbappe's departure from PSG requires Enrique to change his strategy slightly. there are many possibilities that he could do, whether Enrique prioritizes the ideal winger to support their center forward. PSG also pays attention to the midfielders and defense line to deepen the depth of their squad. It's possible that Enrique is more careful in taking action, he monitors players who really suit his style and desires. Apart from that, PSG has center forwards, namely Goncalo Ramos and Randal Molo Muani. which means, the step that Enrique will choose is a mature decision. To create a solid, strong and competitive team, maturity is needed in action. This effort was made to ensure that PSG continues to dominate the French League and compete in the Champions League. So, let's just wait and see what Enrique or Paris Saint-Germain will do.

Ligue One is facing a rough patch. The departure of star player Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid
and the constant dominance of Paris Saint-Germain are making it hard to attract fans and create a competitive league.

Do you know Jean-Michel Roussier?
he is the editorial director of the Telefoot TV show, and he also is the president of top-flight Le Havre.

The situation is genuinely very bad.
If Ligue 1 directors can't solve this ASAP, they might lose their top 5 league status.

While I agree that United doesn't want Greenwood and that would be understandable, I think we should also realize that they can't keep on giving him on loan forever. They either have to recall him and play him, which I do not see how that would work, or they would have to just sell him. If they keep on loaning him out, the end result will be like Lukaku, where they will want to sell him eventually and fail to find anything to buy him.

Greenwood still worths some money and if they can find a way to sell him then it would be fine for them and should be the way to go. I know that we are not talking about making some big leaps here, selling Greenwood shouldn't be that hard, do not ask for a lot and they should be able to do it.

While we are looking for the best alternative during the transfer season, I hope Enrique will not be late. Because as time flies, other players have already started to take their places in the teams. Unless they take action about the players they want, other teams can achieve their goals. They will have a strong rival for Osimhen in Chelsea, but we will see how much they want him. I'm sure they will win the French league. The main target for them is the UCL cup and filling Mbappe's void.

PSG is a club that has been able to dominate Ligue 1 so far although no matter who the coach is, since PSG has become a strong team in Ligue 1 so far there has been no coach who has not succeeded in winning the domestic championship trophy for PSG including Luiz Enrique at the moment, but after continuing to dominate Ligue 1 of course Currently PSG is no longer targeting the Ligue 1 trophy as a reason to retain their coach for more than two seasons, currently the Champions League trophy is the main target that every PSG coach must prioritize and you can see previously how each coach only coached PSG for two seasons although the coach has been able to maintain PSG dominance in Ligue 1 so far, in order to make it easier for the coach to win the Champions League trophy so far, PSG has not hesitated to spend a lot of money to recruit star players, Luis Enrique has actually done a good job at PSG so far and he is able to get the best performance out of his players but one thing we haven't seen in PSG at the moment is MENTALITY...!

Next season will be Luis Enrique last season coaching PSG and we don't yet know whether his contract will be extended by PSG or not, so for now Luis Enrique future at PSG really depends on his success or failure in winning the Champions League in the next season, realizing that the situation is not safe for him, Enrique this time continues to try to recruit new players at this time and reportedly Osimhen and also Kvaratskhelia from Napoli target for him get, apart from that, in order to strengthen their attack line, PSG is currently offering 250 million euros to recruit Lamine Yamal from Barcelona.

Luis Enrique is the person who is expected to be able to make Paris Saint Germain even better, even though several players who have been very important at Paris Saint Germain have left. However, this cannot be an excuse for a coach, because they are expected to be able to do it with the players in the squad, it just remains how the coach can see every potential in the players and can make these players show their best abilities.
I think at the moment they are definitely making a personal approach with some of the players they want to bring in. We don't need to talk about money, because with their current finances they are very capable of paying the players they want. We remember when they had to pay 3 star players at once, that wasn't a problem for them. As for who the players they will bring in is still a question mark, because the names of several players that have surfaced at the moment are still just rumors.

Mason Greenwood left Manchester United for a loan move to Spanish club Getafe last season after he was cleared of the rape case that was brought against him by his girlfriend and despite not playing professional football for months before he joined Getafe, it didn't stop Greenwood from having a great season with the Spanish club. I was expecting Getafe to sign him on permanent basis but surprisingly, he was allowed to return to Manchester United.
Marseille was reported to be closing a 26 million pounds deal to sign the England international on permanent basis but reports have that the deal have been put on hold after the Marseille mayor got involved. There's a report that the mayor opposes the signing of Greenwood to the club which means that Greenwood potential move to the French club might not materialize again.

If PSG works at the field level and if they find talented players and sign them at a low price and bring those players to the club and turn them into good skill players and sell them at a high price, then the club will gain as well as the club will be strong enough. We don't see much of that with PSG. PSG lags far behind other clubs, including Real Madrid, where 16, 15 and 17-year-old footballers are highly valued. 

PSG buys players with huge sums of money and after a few days they see players who are not performing as expected and are forced to sell those players at very low prices or let them go for free. As these things bring financial loss for the club on the one hand, on the other hand, the performance of the club does not move forward because of these things. Since PSG got a quality manager, they must think about these things.
