Bad news came from Marseille, because coach Marcelino was reported to have left the club after achieving results of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat, including failure in the UCL play off. Marcelino was appointed as Marseille coach last July and he only played 7 matches with Marseille. It seems that the results were not satisfactory enough to make him want to part ways with the club and this is not news of the coach's dismissal.
Marcelino preferred to resign as Marseille coach and even though he received a contract lasting until 2025. Currently Marseille has appointed Pancho Abardonado as interim coach and I hope Marseille will soon find a replacement because the competition in Ligue 1 at the start of this season is very fierce, especially last season they finished in 3rd position, so at least they have to finish in the same position or better again.

So far I'm not satisfied with what I have seen from PSG. They are even worse than last season and I believe they have a chance to lose even the Ligue 1 title to a different team. Because there is just no proper team effort now. You can't expect to be successful by relying on only Mbappe's skills. He still continues to score many goals but it just doesn't work that way.
It is the same with Tottenham and Kane situation in the last season. You know how amazing Kane was with scoring goals. But despite his scoring 30 goals Tottenham were still horrible.
Honestly PSG's future is likely to be similar to that also and just as Kane did Mbappe will leave too.

We know PSG is a strong team in the French league because of the better and more investment they had and more players they bought for their teams while other teams in this league cannot do that.
But if this team plays with another team at the same level, they can't do anything in the Chmapnios Leageu even after all the money they invested.
PSG squad is relatively weak right now, their attacking performance depends solely on Mbappe. If mbappe doesn't perform well, it will be very difficult for PSG to win against any team. Actually PSG is very lucky that they got an experienced coach like Enrique. Enrique is experienced and knows the champions league style of play. This is why PSG will probably be able to play well in the group stage matches.
However I would say that PSG does not have a strong enough squad to qualify for the quarter finals or semi finals of the Champions League. I watched PSG's performance against Nice in the last match of Ligue 1. The performance of the players is quite erratic.

This is where you are wrong. Even though I think PSG has lost power, I still think they are one of the few teams with a strong squad in the UCL. Mbappe, the igniting force, is still there and there is still a possibility that they can add to their success this year. I'm sure they'll make it through the groups for the UCL, but progress in the rest of the tournament may depend entirely on who they face in the qualifying draw.

@Iranus Luis is an experienced coach hence I’m not surprised that he was able to find an quick solution to his defensive problem but he’ll need more consistency from his defenders if he’s to lead them to glory in Ligue 1 and the champions league. Furthermore I’m not yet sure that he can rely on Mbappe because he has yet not signed an contract extension thus I’m hoping that Luis will have a backup plan ready in case Mbappe suddenly decides to leave in January.
Difficult for finding back up position if Mbappe not extended contract and have to sell in January transfer window, so far PSG still inconsistency performance in Ligue 1 but have quit well start in Bundesliga match after winning over Dortmund. Luis Henrique on difficult position right now because he need to build up with new scheme if potential will leave by Mbappe. Although Luis Henrique is most experience manager he needs time and for new player take longer time for adapting with Ligue 1 and games style adopted by Luis Henrique. Seems large possibility for PSG losing Mbappe, if not in this January window transfer seems at the end season he will leave PSG after his contract over on June 2023.

Luis Enrique's match strategy was very effective in this match. Paris tried to dominate from the beginning of the match. And finally they succeeded. They got an excellent 2-0 win against Dortmund. I think Enrique found out the weaknesses in his squad from the last match defeat against Nice. He knew very well that their defense was weak. Enrique is trying to keep the defense strong. And PSG's defense was pretty good in this match. I saw some good attacks from Dortmund's players, but due to PSG's good performance from their defenders and goalkeeper, Dortmund couldn't score any goals. Marquinhos and Hakimi's performance was very good in this match.
This result had two reasons and one reason I agree was of course that PSG played a strong game and they have had the balance that they often lacked in other games. The other reason was how bad Dortmund played. Really, Dortmund was so bad that I am sure it is impossible for them to win a game against any team team in their group when it takes place away from home. I also can't see how they would beat PSG in Dortmund.
If PSG can play this level in Ligue 1, they should not get into trouble again like they did against Nice. That loss was not necessary, but maybe at the right time to wake up and understand that that was not enough to win a game in the Champions League. This PSG looked great.

I was also quite surprised to see that they were able to win with a fairly convincing goal margin, perhaps because a few days earlier they lost to Nice at home, which raised doubts about PSG being able to get points from Dortmund, or maybe because Dortmund themselves were in a situation that was not much different from PSG is also experiencing difficulties in the domestic league so PSG faces opponents who are quite balanced in terms of strength.This victory will again lift PSG's enthusiasm to be able to win in Ligue 1 in the match week 6 against Marseille. If they succeed in winning, it will again bring them up the rankings and shift Marseille, who are also contenders for the title.
It's not surprising that PSG won the match because PSG still has Mbappè who makes him a goal scoring machine. The current condition of the Dortmund club is also not good because they have sold several talented players in the transfer market yesterday and this has affected the teams performance. I think Dortmund is able to balance their strategy and consistent even without Jude Bellingham and Haaland, but it seem Dortmund rather has experienced a significant decline.
I really regret Dortmund defeat in this matchs and it is very likely that Dortmund will have difficulty facing a club that is stronger than it at the moments.
And congratulations to PSG for win this match. Maybe this victory proves a little to PSG fans that he is able to recover and catch up with his defeat yesterdays.

Like Kane, Mbappe can score a lot of goals but the team needs to do something. I agree with the Kane example but PSG are still the biggest contenders for the league title. PSG are currently playing Dortmund in the Champions League and I wonder how the defense I criticized will do in this match.

I really didn't expect that PSG could win absolutely against Dortmund with a score of 2 - 0 and of course many people thought PSG would have difficulty in this match so the final result was predicted to be a draw but PSG actually put up quite a good fight and dominated the game this really extraordinary for Mbappe and his fellow PSG players.
I was also quite surprised to see that they were able to win with a fairly convincing goal margin, perhaps because a few days earlier they lost to Nice at home, which raised doubts about PSG being able to get points from Dortmund, or maybe because Dortmund themselves were in a situation that was not much different from PSG is also experiencing difficulties in the domestic league so PSG faces opponents who are quite balanced in terms of strength.This victory will again lift PSG's enthusiasm to be able to win in Ligue 1 in the match week 6 against Marseille.

I think this good capital has increased the players overall confidence, the Marsielle match will be a momentum to return to the top of the standings. Even though it won't be easy, PSG looks like they will be able to secure full points even with a narrow win.
September 20, 2023, 04:22:03 AM
comparing Kane with Mbappe for me is unfair because Kane is in the right team and has other players who are able to push Kane to appear stronger in collaboration with other players, not relying on certain players. Meanwhile, Mbappe is in a team that only relies on himself to be scorer and can be relied on by coach and can also be relied on by other players, so it really not make sense to compare these two player.
this time I do not think PSG will be able to perform better than last season because is very difficult for PSG to compete with other teams which have improved this season and even hope will leave when Mbappe leaves PSG.
Also it's too early to say PSG won't perform better than last season, they might be having a slow start currently but with time probably few matches from now when there new player have adapt fully into Enrique's system of play we'll begin to see them winning match and going top where they're supposed to be, maybe the match they won against Dortmund yesterday could give them a boost.

PSG will fight against Marseille this weekend and both teams still attempts to find their shape under new manager and from recent performance Marseille is slightly better because they still unbeatable but from 5 matches Marseille only able to gets 2 wins which is this is not a satisfied performance from them and as a host PSG want to aiming win result especially from the latest match on Ligue 1 they just lose from Nice and yesterday PSG has just return to winning ways by beat Dortmund on champion league
This result maybe can be boosted their mentally and about this match during playing as a host PSG had good records that since 2020 they never lose from Marseille at their home so this time might be PSG will be able to win the match but it won't be easy because i can see Marseille defensive lines is quite strong now even their defense is much better compared to last season and currently PSG has odds @1.72 and this is good odds to bets

Even though Lacazette has returned to play with Lyon, unfortunately he failed to score a goal for Lyon's victory. Fabio Grosso doesn't need to be criticized at the moment because he has just started managing Lyon and I hope he can find the right strategy for his players. Now the training intensity must be increased so that the players' mentality can bounce back because the bad results obtained in the previous few matches have quite affected the players' self-confidence. However, everything needs a process and at least Lyon won't lose again.
Lacazatte is too old and slow to be able to score that easily if you ask me, it just doesn't feel like it is going to be that much possible for people to end up with a good result that easily, it ends up being a little bit of a trouble for him to score with this talent level he is in right now, he needs to be a lot more athletic or basically Lyon has to find another striker.Finding someone talented for cheap is hard, and Lacazette was the cheapest option that was the best they could get, but then maybe it's time to look for a young talent instead of experienced one. Lyon hasn't been good ever since that many titles in a row period, no idea what they did with all that money, probably bad transfers, but they are just plain bad at this point.
If the search for a new striker is currently closed and Lyon will have to wait until the winter transfer market opens. I also agree that Lyon needs to refresh their attack line and not rely too much on experienced players in unpredictable situations like today. So, let's just wait and see how Lyon progresses until the middle of the season and at the same time look for other young talent to replace Lacazette's role.

From all indications, it appears that PSG is not as strong as it used to be before now. Especially last season that they had Mbappe, Neymar and Messi. It is very obvious that PSG is not a contender this season. They will not go far into the competition.
The fine contenders of this season's champions league is Manchester City and Real Madrid and maybe Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
PSG should ensure that Mbappe leaves next season and they should rebuild their squad.
In Ligue 1 alone, it seems that PSG will find it difficult to compete, especially in the Champions League where the teams there are the best teams from various leagues, of course it will be much more difficult for PSG to compete. Next season it will be very clear that PSG will have to completely overhaul their squad so they can return to being the best team in Ligue 1 and the Champions League if this season PSG can finish the season in the Champions League zone. The fine contenders of this season's champions league is Manchester City and Real Madrid and maybe Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

PSG can not win the UCL title this season, they're yet to make things really right for the club. Keep repeating their mistakes over and over again, If PSG wants to win the trophy, the president should allow Kylian Mbappe exits Parc des Princes stadium, Nasser Al-Khelaifi would be able to channel his energy on these new players. Manchester city are dominant when it comes to Ligue One clubs, the citizens easily defeat them in UCL games. There's absolutely no fierce competition in this France league, more reason Paris Saint-Germain are incredible in their domestic league games and unable to reach crucial stages in UCL football, afterall they would be able to set things right for the club.

Building a strong team, especially winning the UCL, requires a long process, like Manchester City previously spent a lot of money but they have only been successful in the last few seasons.
For this season, I think it is very difficult for PSG to go further in the UCL, realistically we see that the strength of the PSG team this season has decreased compared to last season.
September 19, 2023, 11:53:12 PM
with this condition, I not blame anyone, but I am just a little wondering why I should rely on Mbappe when my teammates can be great players and scorers like Mbappe. but for some reason these teammates also rely on Mbappe during every match and very rarely try to find their own opportunities to try to perform like Mbappe and all this Enrique should be able to understand this situation and provide direction that can pressure the minds of other players to show their talents without having to relying on just one player.
Lets see what will happen if PSG loses this flagship player which makes me believe that their performance will experience a very visible decline.
Mbappe was the one who scored the opening goal of the game then in the 58th minute of the match his team from Morocco Achraf Hakimi scored another to seal the winning, PSG were suprisenly dominated the match and had more possession of the game and they would had even scored more goals but misses plenty of chances, they had about 17 shots on target but just 3 were on side and they managed to convert two goals from this 3 shots on target.
Seeing PSG game in the UCL group stage match is very different from PSG when playing in the French League where they found it difficult to get a good win in every match.
But it not surprising because there are several teams that are not too focused on the various leagues they are participating in but are focusing or preparing thoroughly for the UCL.
17 shots towards Dortmund goal was quite a dominating attack because Dortmund itself was able to shoot at goal only once and even then it didn't produce results.

We know PSG is a strong team in the French league because of the better and more investment they had and more players they bought for their teams while other teams in this league cannot do that.
But if this team plays with another team at the same level, they can't do anything in the Chmapnios Leageu even after all the money they invested.
