Saint-Etienne were the winners in the first game of the play-out match in the French league.Saint-Etienne, who took advantage with a 2-1 win at home, will have a chance to be promoted to the league again with a possible draw here.We know that Metz have been struggling to win for a long time and their single victory in this match will allow them to stay in the league with a double victory in extra time.A very important and stressful encounter awaits us for both teams.

Mbappe is a very special player. His place cannot be filled easily. Therefore, no matter how much effort is made, there will be very few players who can achieve the success he has achieved. He wished he could stay in the team, but now he wanted to start a new journey and I think he will be successful in this journey. Mbappe's absence will affect PSG badly, but Enrique must be thinking about it. I think he has already chosen the player he will replace.

With the help of Luis Enrique, it is very unlikely that PSG team will win the Champions League title next season. But Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. He will definitely try his best to stabilize this team, to improve the performance of the team.

Mbappe was PSG's leading scorer. PSG's performance after Mbappe's departure is likely to deteriorate if Luis Enrique is unable to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. If Enrique wants to do well in the Champions League next season, the squad must be strengthened. Especially the forward lineup needs to add more talented players. But since the PSG management is also interested in spending large amounts of money, it seems that Luis Enrique will be able to strengthen the PSG team next season.

I would blame Nasser Al-Khelaifi for everything, he invested so much in Kylian Mbappe but it turns out he's not reaping the fruit of his hard earned money. PSG will decline in performance, having to lose one of the most valuable player this season. Luis Enrique will make findings to play top games without his best key player in the frontline. Kylian Mbappe exits Parc des Princes this season and we know his next destination. The Frenchman have decided to be in Real Madrid jersey, they know the impact to follow.

If they ever want to, I think it would be because they are commonly known as a team who fires managers that does well at league, but fails to win UCL. Which is what Enrique did, they failed to beat Dortmund, could have been at the finals instead. In the end, I do not think that he would be fired neither, that doesn't really feel like it would happen that commonly, but I just feel like we are going to end up with people who will call for his head, just because he failed to win UCL.

Next season is easier, because Mbappe left, that means if they fail to get UCL but win the league people would be a little happier about that instead. Of course that's not going to be all that easy, but we should definitely see them have a bit more ease.

It's true that Enrique is yet to choose a replacement for mbappe and interestingly it's actually going to be really difficult getting such because mbappe isn't a small player, he's beyond the regular players and his role in the team has always remained a very vital one such that his impact is always felt in almost every game he gets to play for the team so it becomes very difficult to get some one who can fit in just exactly.

Getting a replacement for mbappe may not necessarily means getting to employ the service of a top notch played which is definitely going to cost the team a whole lot and may eventually not get to fit in well just like the erra of Neymar and Messi in PSG, even with all those perfect compliment with mbappe, they still didn't get to win the prestigious champions league they still won just the Ligue 1 title which has always been their norm in a very long while but I believe with a younger player they can get it right just like mbappe was much younger when he first arrived PSG.

It will be much better if they look to getting a young mind who's willing to build a skill and showcase that which he got and how useful he can be to the team and get the team to the points where they would really want to be, I think that will do much better for PSG, because I see this as an opportunity for them to look into developing a replacement and not buying a replacement which they may loose one time so quick.

I wonder what will become of the PSG team if they make the mistake of replacing their coach now that Mbappe is leaving the team, yes the coach is full of experience despite not having the opportunity to win the champions league since becoming the PSG head coach but I also think leaving the coach with a task of pushing the team to getting better next season and first his primary assignment should be getting a good player for the replacement their key player Mbappe before working on the improvement of the players so they can have the winning mentality to contend with other elite teams in the champions league next season.

I don't know for now if Luis Enrique can take the PSG team to win the champions league next season but I am certain that the team can get better next season if they improve their performance.

I don't know what underlies you to say if PSG should replace Luis Enrique at this time, because it seems that under Enrique, PSG is currently in good condition and also quite stable performance, replacing Enrique with another coach of course will only make PSG have to return to the initial process in building a strong team later, the change of coach is certainly not something that PSG should do at this time because indeed Enrique has managed to give a new color to PSG game, if you say overhauling the squad of course I strongly agree, although PSG currently have a qualified squad but they still need to improve next season especially in a defense that is indeed fragile,  In addition, I see in some of the games played by PSG this season that their reserve squad instead has not been reliable.

Mbappe has left PSG and PSG should be able to get better players than him next season, so far Mbappe has a big ego and privileges at PSG, so it often causes divisions in the team, Mbappe ego is based on mis from management that gives him privileges so far that he feels the most powerful even above the coach.

In fact, there has been no significant development because after all, Enrique also tried several times not to play Mbappe, but the results were always difficult to get good results. After all, even though Mbappe is not always played, but the fact is that Mbappe still managed to become the top scorer. Thus, PSG is still unable to get better without Mbappe although indeed, the reality is that the overhaul has not yet happened because it might happen during the transfer window later. But still, about Mbappe who will leave I am personally still confident that PSG will be difficult to move on.

With Luis coming into the PSG team, you’re sure to expect their performance as a team to increase massively especially with him being able to attain success in his past clubs and also with the way he was able to manage a team filled with stars and still reach that level of success. He was able to still manage with Kylian and win the league and mow that Kylian is leaving, you will wonder what the fate of the club will be especially with Kylian being the most reason for their achievements in the past 3-4 years.

 His departure will be one big one for the club and they will fight so hard to be able to fill up for Kylian’s departure from the club. Enrique has been preparing so seriously for a time like this as you can see how he started reducing playing time for Kylian so as to be able to develop the other players and to help them used to playing without Kylian quite early. This will be able to help him reintegrate and build up a very fierce squad so that they can be able to challenge very well for the title and still remain a competitive club in Europe.

 In the past, we can see how Enrique has been able to build up fierce team and I think that can still be done with PSg as he can acquire players that will fit his tacticsand execute on it so well. ⁠The club still have a target of the UCL and I think with Luis winning the UCL at Barca, that brings some sort of confidence for him to still be able to get it here at PSG. Well let’s see the signing he brings into the club.

The reason why he is not going to do very well in the Champions League is because he is going to win the Ligue 1 easily. And it is also in the nature of this league. The nature of this league is not very competitive. So the players get used to having easy matches. when they have to play in harder matches against bigger opponents, they are unable to perform well enough.

I will also blame the PSG authority. Most of the time whatever problems they have, it seems like they believe they can just throw money at the problem and it will be solved. Just do not understand that even if you have an unlimited amount of money, there are some problems that cannot be solved with only Money. I just wonder what could have happened if they had this coach when there was Mbappé, Neymar, and Messi in the team. 

Why will PSG change their coach? Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. PSG are very lucky to have an experienced coach like Enrique. PSG will definitely want to do well in the Champions League next season. For this, the PSG team needs to increase the strength of the squad.

Luis Enrique's main task now is to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. Without finding a suitable replacement for Mbappe, PSG will not be able to do well in the Champions League. However, we still don't know for sure which player Enrique wants to add to the squad to replace Mbappe. But I believe Luis Enrique can make the PSG team more stable next season.

I hope they can take advantage of the time they have to prepare for the next season, even if they have to be without Mbappe. They have to start changing their strategy, because what I see is that they emphasize individual ability more than teamwork, which ultimately makes it difficult for them to compete in higher competition.
They should be able to combine individual abilities and teamwork instead of playing as individuals. That is the job they have to complete this season. They are a big team and they also have many advantages which it would be a shame if they didn't take advantage of them. They are the biggest team in Ligue 1 and they only have that status at domestic level, because when they are at European level, they are like an ordinary team. In fact, if they are patient enough to build a foundation from the ground up, they can really do it. And they should try that in my opinion.

Change is good at PSG. Even though Mbappe is not at PSG, he pushes his team to play well and do something new. One of Enrique's most notable strengths is - he is very nice and fair, efficient in managing PSG's players.  How PSG players can be managed without Mbappe and make them stronger and better, PSG coach or club is moving forward.PSG's players' self-belief, hard work will make them stronger, better and more successful. But no player can replace Mbappe in the future.

PSG changes are good. Despite missing Mbappe, he pushes his team to attempt new things. The outcomes arent ideal, but thats not the objective. Enrique builds. He wants to build a dynasty, not win quickly. He's uncovering and repairing weaknesses to build a team stronger than any individual. Yes, Mbappe is a significant loss. He leads and changes games. But PSG isnt one man. They have talent, heart, and a winning coach.

PSG has a new era. It will take time and work, but it will be big. So dont dismiss them. Do not underestimate Enrique. People will be surprised.

Losing Mbappe will certainly make PSG lose their attacking sharpness, although Enrique is a coach who has won many awards so far, but we cannot deny PSG dependence on Mbappe so far is quite large and in fact we can see often PSG get bad results when mbappe does not play this long, admitted or not but every great coach certainly has one or two mainstay players who are indeed during this will be the coach focus in every game and Enrique certainly expects a lot from Mbappe even though he has never admitted it at all publicly.


Regarding the academy, of course PSG has a pretty good and even luxurious academy at the moment, but honestly about orbiting talented players from the academy, of course they are still inferior when compared to Monaco and some minor Ligue 1 teams so far, if we count maybe we can say if only a few of PSG academy players can indeed become great stars and that's why PSG have been more dominant to buy players who Indeed, they have experience and are also labeled stars because maybe they are more likely to believe instant results than processes.

Enrique is a coach who has good achievements and also has extraordinary experience, and losing Mbappe is not the end of the story at PSG, because we know Enrique is a coach who does not prioritize star players, Enrique and PSG currently do not have players who have been discussed by management themselves PSG to help Enrique compete next season.

PSG has a lot of potential in its own academy, it would be good for Enrique to develop the existing players and not waste too much money just targeting Mbappe's replacement, because that will be difficult, as is the quality that Enrique has in training These players are important for him to be able to bring young players to become the best at PSG next season.

I think this will also have an impact on broadcasting rights where Ligue One will decrease in popularity after Mbappe's absence from next season. On the other hand, most people will also start to talk less about Ligue One if Mbappe is not there and that will clearly be a loss for them.

However, Mbappe wants to upgrade his career at a better club and he wants to chase the title he has never won during his career. Luis Enrique will also certainly be confused but I'm sure he will soon find the right replacement solution for Mbappe. If we look at the list of players at PSG, I think there is no player who can replace Mbappe's role so they will transfer new players this summer. That's the only option currently available to PSG and they are certainly well aware of that.

As far as I can see Luis Enrique has won all the trophies in France. This should be enough to give him a second chance for the Champions League trophy as well. It has been only one year too. PSG will need to prepare for next season with some good transfers. Mbappe is leaving already as we have discussed many times. They can't just move on without making new transfers as a result. 

PSG chairman should listen to Luis Enrique while making the transfers. He is a Champions League winner manager. It would be meaningless if the chairman doesn't do that and takes a bigger risk by bringing the players he want only. Then it might be more difficult for the manager to bring the success too. 

I don't doubt Luis Enrique's abilities, but the problem is that in Ligue he doesn't receive a lot of pressure and that might affect his performance, I mean in Ligue 1 he can comfortably win the title every season, while his job is to ensure that Paris Siant Germain can achieve something good in the Champions League. In my opinion, he also has to provide a lot of input to management so that they don't just focus on instant achievements, but they have to enjoy the process of making them become champions in the Champions League.

I understand they have a certain amount of money to do whatever they want, but we can see that up to now what they have done has not been able to bring them anything good. And one thing they haven't tried is carrying out regeneration like Real Madrid has done for example. That way they can have a solid squad not only for a short time, but they can have a solid squad for the long term.
