Well, I cannot deny that the work that Luis Enrique has done has been great. On a personal level, I would say that the way the Spaniard has handled it has been great. You might think that whenever it comes to doing something better, a good strategy is there. I can't say what makes him excellent, nothing to do with how he took Spain to the World Cup, which he did in a way that I didn't like, because he left players who in Spain are very good, in their clubs, they are excellent, just because they were from the Madrid didn't put them in, he hasn't matured that yet, so that gives me a lot to think that as a coach he should forget about those silly rivalries, because now a team has to choose the best of the best, and he preferred pure young players without experience, so that meant that they did not do very well in the world cup, which seems bad to me because in a world cup things must be different, so from what I have seen I think that those things matured, because in PSG they are not doing it evil.

Now if we look for things as they are, we should be aware that Luis Enrique himself is doing everything possible to look for the best for PSG, there are many variants, what I think is that at the moment he is looking for the Ideal team without Mbappé, because it is a reality that the player Mbappé is going to leave, that is something that we all know, in any case he will not be there, for that reason we have to see all the variants, if this season PSG is not the same as the season last season, I think the next season will be worse without the player, and although it is a game of 11 people, he makes the difference because the things that are part of the game always happen at Mbappé's feet, and if he doesn't score a goal, at least one He has good assistance, that is the direction the player is taking so far, of course it is a shame for PSG that a player like him is leaving, but he doesn't want to be there and that is difficult.


I don't know if I'm asking too much, but I would really like things to happen in Marseille's favor, but always and make sure that from now on they become a very strong team, worthy of making life impossible for Marseille in Ligue 1. to PSG, therefore I have a lot of hope for this, because firstly PSG is not as strong as last season, they can do things very well, PSG has a Mbappé who is doing a lot, I cannot deny that Luis Enruique He does it very well, the scheme he is using now is giving him very good results, of course, they still have Mbappé, but I think that next season they will no longer be spending it with him, because yes or yes, the player will leave. Will the cpsas be as good as now without the player? Who knows, I think it's tough for them, and this is what the other teams should see, it's not the same anymore, the PSG that was scary with its tough players like Messi, like Mbappé and Neymar, can no longer do it well , and the truth is they did not take the opportunity to win a UCL.

At the moment they are the leaders in Ligue 1, there is no doubt, although PSG's start was somewhat flawed, but a team has to emerge, one that can stop this team, so far I see Marseille very well, But I think they can do much better, so in this order of ideas Marseille put all their energy to face a PSG that has completely dominated this league with fewer stars ? These things are what other teams have to see, Lille is also one of the teams that can do things better, but since last season there were so many teams that showed good discipline that in the end they gave in, that is Something that did not give me any pleasure, the one that maintained the level somewhat until the end was Marseille, I would like a team from France that could measure up to these teams as good as PSG.

Lorient is not a hard opponent for them because this team had poor performance and they only can able to get 1 win from 12 matches so this result is according people prediction that Marseille can able to win without any trouble and indeed i can see it that Marseille performance was gradually better now because after this result currently Marseille gets 3 wins in a row in Ligue 1 and their position currently at 5th place and they have 4 difference points below to Lille the team in the 4th place

On the other hand apparently Lyon hasn't give up want to survive in Ligue 1 that yesterday they got 2nd winning this season by win against Toulouse and Lacazette has make a hattrick on that match and now Lyon has 10 points however relegation zone also more interesting now because the difference points between the team in that zone is not so far but Lyon will get hard opponent next weekend because they will fight against strong team Monaco

But what exactly made you believe that Nice could do that? This is really not very likely and money is making all the difference. In fact it would be a shame for PSG if a smaller team like Nice would be able to break PSG's dominance and win the title. I believe that we won't see a different champion for many years to come unless PSG takes a hit when Mbappe leaves them. That could be a window of opportunity for the other teams, but I am sure that PSG won't stop pouring hundreds of millions into the team.

If we talk about match statistics, the two are actually quite evenly matched, it's just that Lyon's attacks were more effective and as a result they were able to score lots of goals against Touluse. If only their defense was as good as Lyon's, it's possible the result would be a draw or at least Touluse wouldn't concede as many goals.

But Lyon's victory is like a breath of fresh air to maintain the confidence of each player so that they are even more enthusiastic about winning in the next match. Anyway, Lyon's next opponent is Monaco and this will clearly be a very difficult match for Lyon and they cannot take their fate for granted and they must try everything so they can still get points later.

Olympique Marseille have regained their confidence in winning matches with high scores, not easy but they did it. Maintaining streak performance against elite clubs and mediocre clubs can be totally understood by the club. Points accumulated for the visitors and they're currently 6th position on the table. Marseille boss, Gennaro Gattuso have put pins on the necessary points for his club. Olympique Marseille won 4 goals to 2 and it was a well deserved winning for the club, not after putting up good standards and winning becomes the very option available to choose for Marseille.

Marseille, in the end, was able to win their match for the third time in a row in Ligue 1. According to my prediction in the previous post, Marseille will win this match and overtake the two teams above them. In the end, Reims and Lens had to go down in rankings even though they had the same 23 points, because Marseille was superior in terms of scoring goals. The odds are quite ideal at @1.71, and congratulations to those who bet on the Marseille team in this match.
Unfortunately, this victory had to be paid quite dearly, Jonahtan Clauss was given a red card in this match. referring to the course of the match, Marseille played more dominantly in the first half. where Gennaro Gattuso's squad dominated the match, as did the opportunities they had. Marseille had 17 total shots, 8 on target, 4 big chances, and 4 opportunities they were able to convert into goals in the first half.

In the second half, Marseille played a little looser and the home team tried more to do their best. Lorient had 9 total shots, 7 on target, 2 big chances and one converted into a goal. Unfortunately, the efforts made by the home team in the second half did not produce positive results for them. In the end, the match ended with a score of 2-4. For the next match in Ligue 1, it looks like Marseille has the potential to get maximum points. but before that, Gennaro Gattuso's squad will play a tough match in the Europa League group phase at Brighton headquarters. This match is a deciding match for both teams to get direct tickets to the next round without going through the playoff phase. Looks like the match will be an interesting match. so, let's wait.

The reason why Paris Saint Germaine seems to be dominating the French Ligue 1 is because if the fact that the management of the team has gone a long way to make sure they assemble the best quality of players in the league over the last one decade. There's no way any team in the French Ligue 1 can be able to challenge the French champions and that's because they have better world class players with intimidating football qualities than any other side in the French Ligue. Unless the management of other clubs in the French league starts to spend hugely in acquisition of players like Paris Saint Germaine does, I don't think there's any way they're gonna match the strength of PSG anytime any day

But those three points are definitely helping to keep them afloat. This was they are still in distance of the other teams and it could turn quickly in their favor if they can being a streak of some successful games. Most importantly they have to stop losing obviously, but since some of the other teams also play a messy season, nothing is lost yet. But it is only playing against relegation for them as their isn't anything to be won for them this season.

PSG did their job, but I thought they would be more dominant against Nantes and keep them away from their own goal more effectively. But Nantes had their chances, too.

Toulouse was not performing well at all in this match against Lyon because I think Lyon is not a strong team and losing the game against a team like Lyon is not something we can usually see.
Finally, Lyon won a game after all the points they lost during this season but wining this game against Toulouse can't make chances for them yet.

It could be the problem that the jump in quality is too big to handle for PSG going from Ligue 1 to Champions League. A team like Manchester City has a top game almost every week, which means they are used to having tough games all the time. PSG is hardly challenged in their domestic league and may be less ready for the big fights when they are taking place. I think for good teams coming from weaker leagues it is harder to get that switch done successfully.

Marseille is really doing well and leading by four goals so far is quite impressive, over the weekend across Europe most games have been characterized with too many goals. Most likely Marseille may be going home with three points by the end of the match today but then their opponent have got two goals already as they have passed the 60th minute of the match.

I just hope Marseille will be able to maintain their win and not allow their opponent get an equalizer and denied them of three points, Marseille has really been playing well in their most recent games and if they win tonights game it will be seen as deserving for them because they had played well enough, although they are not playing from home but then they are doing well from away, they will Be at the sixth position with 23 points on the league table which brings them close to been amongst top four.

I am happy for Olympic Lyon for this amazing win today, I wish they keep the good performance up because they did not deserve to be at the bottom of League one table because of the caliber of players they have in the squad, although injuries affected them well but they also lose form from the beginning of this season.

Lacazette is a player I love most in the team, I like his style of play because he is not a selfish player since the time he was playing at Arsenal even though he did not score enough goals, he usually contributes to the team’s play and provide more assists sometimes. His hat-trick will be an encouragement to him and the team to move up and become more relevant in the competition.

Paris Saint-Germain are balance and they don't underestimate their performance against both elite and mediocre clubs. PSG coach, Luis Enrique is a promising coach and he has plans for the club. Kylian Mbappe presence have aides Les Parisiens to grab another winning this weekend, it's not easy how he do it but he's just the main player in the club and there's strong confidence whenever he holds the ball. Every single match played by Paris Saint-Germain is consider important because no club should be underrated this season, everyone keen on the winning.

Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is yet to be finalized so it's safe to tag it a rumour although we'd know how serious the rumor was by January. His addition to the Spanish side won't be a bad idea though because he'd complement the coach's taste and style of play too and he will be an advantage too. His team mates will be as young, vibrant, skilful as he is and no doubt they'd become a team that stands out.

 Mbappe is a young player and he's still got enough exploits to perform. It won't be advisable for him to join SPL, Ancelloti knows the type of player he needs in his team and he knows how to push for the player. He's a wise and intelligent coach who knows how best to carve out his team based on his style. There's a plan deep down in his mind and I really can't wait for it to get unfolded.

This victory should be interpreted as a turning point in their performance, but in reality this will be difficult again, considering that in the future Lyon will face a tough opponent, namely Monaco. However, the victory over Toulouse was interesting for me, because they are a tough team, I remember they beat Liverpool in the Europa League.

Sure enough, this is a form of progress being shown, who knows they can secure 3 points against Monaco next week. Even though this is considered difficult, I think the room for surprises is quite open to happen.

Lyon's current target is to get out of the degradation zone and rise from the bottom of the standings, wherever they can finish, the important thing is not to be in the red zone. This is the first win for their interim coach, if he can do his job well and make Lyon recover, I think there is no harm in appointing him as the definitive coach.

Winning the game against Nantes is not something very impressive for PSG considering the players have in the team because if you compare the market value of Nantes and PSG you can see the huge difference between these two teams. I think PSG has enough players like Kolo Muani to help them even if Mbappe is not in good form to help the team.

Finally, glad to hear that although I missed this match. Lacazette deserves it, he is still a great striker and in the right hands for sure he can make a very good contribution. Also, as Caretaker Manager Pierre Sage is actually quite good, if he can continue to maintain Lyon performance maybe we will see Lyon to get out of the relegation zone before the winter transfer window opens. But the next match will be a big test for him, because Lyon will play against Monaco which are a good team this season.

Real Madrid seem to have drop their interest in mbappe because he is yet to even give his statement on his stands with Real Madrid and the deal is yet to be confirmed as they are still hoping that by January there will be a finalization on mbappes deal with Madrid. It's very likely mbappe me turn out a free agent in the nearest future.

There's yet an English team to fully declear interest with mbappe but it appears that by January there may be intrest come from them especially if it becomes clear they the Spanish side is no longer interested. Mbappes drive to leave PSG has not really seem like a bid for higher pay but more of a bid to advance in his career and I think real Madrid has the best platform to give him such and it's really not clear why he is yet to make things solid with Madrid and they are saying after awhile they will be of from the bid and he will probably have to go elsewhere aside Madrid.

Lorient vs Marseille.

In this match, victory is important for Marseille to get full points. with the scenario, if Marseille wins the match against Lorient, it means their ranking will improve by two places and shift Lens who are in 6th place in the standings. even though the points are the same if Marseille wins, Marseille concedes fewer goals than Reims and Lens. Moreover, if Marseille is able to win this match with a landslide score. Previously, Marseille had won its two matches against Rennes and against Lyon. If Gennaro Gattuso's squad is able to achieve victory in this match, it means they are starting to get on their real track. although in reality, Marseille's performance could still be said to be unstable. Nevertheless, Gattuso will definitely target his team to be able to achieve maximum points.

On the other hand, the home team Lorient can also be said to be in shambles. Currently, they are ranked 16th. which means that if they don't win, their position will not be safe in the following week. So, like it or not, Lorient has to try and work hard to provide resistance to the challenging team. three points, will temporarily save them a better ranking. referring to the pattern of the two teams, the home team seems to be relying more on counterattacks and defense. while Marseille, will be more offensive to get the win. Well, it looks like this match has the potential to be quite tough.
My estimate is that Marseille will win this match even though they are playing away from home, and the odds are quite ideal at @1.71. well, let's wait for the final result.

Great, Lyon got their 2nd win this season by beating Toulouse with a score of 3-0 and ya, Lacazette became an important role in this match because he managed to make a hat-trick. Although Lyon is still at the bottom of the standings but ya, at least Lyon managed to keep Toulouse from going too far, because with this result also makes Lyon and Toulouse only have a gap of 3 points now. At least Lyon still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone even though slowly and also, in my judgment lately Lyon has managed to improve their quality. Although indeed, the results are still not entirely good but at least, there is still good progress made by Lyon at this moment.
