Is this because the style of play adopted by Mourinho is no longer suitable for modern football? To be honest, currently I see many old era coaches who have been replaced by new coaches or old coaches who have adapted modern football tactics. I see that currently modern football places more emphasis on dynamic play where all players, even the goalkeeper, must be able to build attacks. This is a little different from old era football games where each player played their own role. And as far as I know, Mourinho is famous for his bus parking game.

I wonder, because at this moment PSG also has a new experienced coach but for some reason Mourinho is linked with PSG . Because ya, I think that even though this rumor is circulating, it is still not right for now, because Enrique is also still under contract at PSG until 2025 . Moreover, Enrique is just get in half a season here at PSG and ya, of course there will still be many targets that must certainly be achieved as the season progresses.

But indeed, Mourinho basically no longer has good results because ya, Mourinho still failed to bring the team he coached to win the domestic league title. Also, the fact that Mourinho also only managed to bring Porto and Inter to win the Champions League trophy and other than or after that Mourinho no longer managed to get the Champions League trophy. Therefore, it is not right if PSG recruits Mourinho because ya, obviously PSG needs a coach who has good quality in the Champion League.

Yeb, it has happened even since last season but indeed it was not really expected because if you look at the reasons given by PSG before they had said that Mou's strategy was very old-fashioned which made them not bring Mourinho to PSG and even now it should be with reasons like this will still continue to happen. on the other hand I don't think Mourinho will really want to be at PSG because seeing from the schemes that Mou has always done for the clubs he coaches it seems like there needs to be a big overhaul if in the end Mou comes to PSG which makes this even more complicated.

On the other hand, I think in this case PSG must start believing in a process if they really want to get better. Changing coaches every year will not produce the right answer for them because after all it will actually be a slow destruction where the scheme and formation including players are always overhauled along with the arrival of new coaches.

What is all the talk about here since we are in the Ligue 1 thread discussing French football?

Anyway, I think PSG did reach out to Mourinho in the past, but he wasn't available when PSG wanted him and when he became available, PSG just signed a different coach. I think this was more a question of bad timing than it was about his handwriting as a coach. It may have been a good fit, I don't know. But Mourinho has had his best times and is now more an average guy in the business.

The club have been consistent since the appointment of José Mourinho as headcoach. AS Roma is an elite club, no one is ever looking down on their performance of leading the squad to better phase in football and also competitive enough in the Seria A. AS Roma have become acquainted with the coaching style of their coach, José Mourinho. He won't leave stadio Olimpico in coming years, he has more targets to hits for Roma. The board sees him as a prominent coach that can deliver them in the future, they admire his pattern and the supporters have great confidence in him.

What is happening is very difficult, but as I said before, I would at least expect this player to get to Madrid because he would be the first player in history to be accepted after he himself has said no, I think what Florentino Perez is doing is a formality before a "word" that was previously given, for the reason that a player like this can make a difference and can generate many emotions, at the same time we must also think about something, no player is above a club, because the club is much bigger than a player, and as I have said many times and I never tire of repeating it and Mbappé has long since said no to Madrid on an opportunity, supposedly he is being offered 23MILLION a month, which is not This is wrong, even though it is too much for a player who had already said no previously, there are players who want to play in Madrid for much less money.

So this can be very significant, for example for Herling Haaland who was able to have a wonderful career at the club, where without a doubt he will open the doors for his future player, playing for such a prestigious club is not just anything, for many it is a dream, but many like Mbappé who once said NO to Madrid, because he will feel some remorse for having made the wrong decision, in fact that happens a lot with players who said NO to Madrid, things are not They give, and they can marry many things in their future, between the rrpeinteimietno cry and things in their mind that do not leave them alone, what knows the level of Madrid is that above all a club like this, sees its players as a family, nothing See the example of CR7, before making a decision, he went and trained at their facilities. Why? because he came out of there well, through the big door, that is something that not everyone does, and especially in this club that is powerful, this is why he is worthy of a great example.

Football transfer rumours: Liverpool and Real Madrid to tussle for Mbappé?




Mbappé's situation is not yet clarified, because things when dealing with the striker are quite strong, as has been said before, things can turn out well because when it appears there can be a fight between Madrid and Lierpool, just as it had been. said on many occasions here, for me personally it is better that he goes to Liverpool because in Madrid things can get ugly if the player arrives thinking that he has preferences, and Ancelotti is a delicate coach, he is very nice, but he is very delicate, then things could turn out for the best for Liverpool, in fact I think the best thing would be for him to join PSG, but things are very different now, that's why things can always look normal, but for me they have He has been very aware of what he could be, because Madrid gave him a contract with quick acceptance terms, everything is in his hands, in fact if Mbappé wants to be in Madrid I think that in no other universe would they give him another opportunity like this .

PSG was looking for a new winger cuased by the situation was forcing the club to do that. You could also try to browse the old news said that how PSG was willing to recruit the new winger after it was failed to convince mbappe to stay in PSG by extending his contract.
That being said that if mbappe was the main target by PSG. The situation is forcing the club to search a new winger. This makes enrique need to make sure the new winger can adapt as soon as possible caused by someone who understood the club so much is going to leave soon.

Im not seeing this as a serious problem but im still concerning about how long time will be taken by the new winger to adapt to the gameplay of PSG. Mbappe was one of best winger in this decade and the new player was nothing.
this is why the main reason PSG was trying so hard to hold mbappe stay in PSG but the club was failed to do that caused by mbappe is not having motivation to play in the PSG anymore.

Mourinho has become an age-old rumor. If I'm not mistaken, the rumor of recruiting Mourinho was early last season. But they didn't go ahead because Mourinho played football with the old strategy and didn't suit PSG. With Roma Mourinho also did not have good achievements he was only able to give the UEFA Europa Conference League champion 21/22. Until now Roma is also stable in the top 10 and in the last 2 years they ended up in that place too.

Mbappe will receive other offers from Real Madrid and PSG will have to struggle to convince the player signing a new contract with them. Because since January 2024, Mbappe is free to discuss with other clubs about his future and he will be a free agent next summer.

PSG are confident that they can convince Mbappe again but over a half of season, I did not see Mbappe shown that he is happy in PSG. It will be very big chance for him to move and with unhappy relationship with the club, with his ambition to win Champions League and Ballon d'Or, I see very high probability that he will finalize a deal with Real Madrid this time.

Mourinho will not want to join PSG if Mbappe is no longer there and if he want to get high salary, he can accept very good offers from Saudi Professional League clubs. In a recent interview, Mourinho said he might stay in Roma after this season and it is not final deal about his future but at least he shows some intention to stay in Rome. Maybe he want to complete his project in Rome with AS Roma.

PSG will continue to be superior to other clubs in League 1, whether in terms of finances or quality of players, so I think it's only natural that PSG still dominates until now, and this season it is very clear that PSG looks like they will win the title again because the point difference with Nice is quite large. so that PSG is quite comfortable at the top of the standings while Nice which initially challenged PSG, is now starting to have difficulty maintaining its performance and is showing signs of decline. In the last 5 matches PSG has won in a row while Nice has experienced 2 defeats, losing 6 points, of course this is very influential.

It is difficult to reach the semifinals because PSG in League 1 is not as competitive as clubs in other leagues and PSG like find it difficult when facing matches in the Champions League with conditions like this. In fact, I doubt that PSG can beat Real Sociedad in the round of 16 because of the fact that Real Sociedad is capable competed in the groups stage well when compared to PSG.

It seems that PSG can't avoid changing coaches because this team continues to target the title every season and if they don't win the title, they will always fire the coach. It's not surprising that we often see PSG changing coaches and the results remain the same, they only win titles in competitions they dominate. If we talk about other more prestigious competitions such as the Champions League, of course the results are still far from expectations and even though they have changed coaches, the results are still the same, they have not achieved anything for the last 10 years.

Talking about Mourinho, it seems that he is not very interested in coaching a team in Ligue 1 and even though PSG is a very big name, he still chooses other big teams in Europe. Mourinho's integrity to train the team he wants is something he has paid close attention to and not just any club can persuade him.

As far as I know, Paris Saint-Germain is a club supported by Qatar.  If I'm wrong, please correct me. it would be very natural if they had unlimited financial conditions. referring to what you said, yeah, PSG was able to bring in the players they wanted, especially on the front line. just like last season, PSG has a mega project of top stars to realize their dream of winning the Champions League trophy. unfortunately, there are several factors that become obstacles for them to realize their club dreams. the problem is, it's not just great players that they need. but, a competent trainer. able to handle his squad both on the field and in the dressing room. moreover, PSG's problems last season were quite complex from my personal point of view.  Neymar's injury was one of the factors. the coach's lack of experience, and the coach not having complete control over his players. in other words, everything has been arranged in such a way by PSG management or the big boss of Paris Saint-Germain.

Now PSG is in the hands of the right coach, that's how it should be. so, the problem this time is whether the club is willing to fully involve Enrique either in terms of recruiting players or other things and so on. but at least, PSG's philosophy this season has changed. it seems like they are starting to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City. btw, this is just my personal assumption. regarding other teams, as you said, almost most of their financial conditions are not like Paris Saint Germain. so it would be very natural that the competition for trophies would be very difficult to break the dominance of the French League giants in this competition.

This is good advantage with bad as well because just because of this they are not able to have better results in Europe and facing troubles for years and good because they are dominating and mostly unpredictable teams are not able to give them any competition which is giving them good number of wins and strong control in all league games here they need to change of mindset as well which helps them for having better results in Europe and this only needs some strategy which is possible if they allow any coach for staying here and done good work changing coaches after every one or two years are not going to help them anyway.

If they are investing huge funds then surely they need to sit and have some better and positive talk with new coach for the 4- or 5-years contract which will help them and also give them for having better and quality squad which is important for the success in Europe.

Enrique built PSG like he built Barcelona. Using young players for future projections. Because he realized that even if PSG bought expensive players, it would still be difficult to win the Champions League.
On the positive side, this idea is in line with the French government's thoughts on continuing to develop potential young talents so that they can also be used to fill world cup slots.
They are not so burdened with fighting for the French League championship, because they realize that it is easier to get than the Champions League.

PSG under this management is really not ideal couple but if they want to have better results then surely they need to think about few things which can increase their chances for the better results and have strong hold on few other things even they have no coach like José Mourinho currently they are doing good but still it needs more time for the better results and consistency which is important for the every big team and their dream is Champions League which is surely not easy but possible with better strategy.

They are surely biggest in Europe but just in finances and now time for them to turn things into other way and have strong team without any big star and results are also needed to be at their best with need better depth and relationship between players and coach which will create good atmosphere in dressing room as well which is also good for the better results.

When it comes to League 1, I think the most problematic team as a coach has been PSG in recent years. Being a coach in a team with average expectations is not the same as being a coach in PSG. While the expectation for PSG is to be the biggest team in Europe, the main goal for the mid-table team is to go to the European cups. That's why some features in rams are more noteworthy. Star players are difficult to manage. I think Mourinho is one of the people who do this best. If Mourinho had come to PSG at that time, the situation could have been very different.

The January transfer is just opening and the club had to buy the Brazilian central defender Lucas Beraldo. I hope that the club will still get more players before the closure of the transfer window. I also think that Lucas Beraldo is a good player and he is also young and cheap. Such kind of players could bring financial fortune to the club if he improves. I read that PSG wants to focus more on buying and building younger players because it seems that buying expensive players didn't give them the needed results.

The Brazilian defender might not be popular but he is not a meaningless signing. He could boast the defence of the club. PSG has experimented with world-class players but they never won the Champions League, maybe the club is changing its recruitment strategy. Nobody knows Mbappé's next move because there is no concrete information about his future.

Lyon relaxed a little in the last matches and managed to move themselves to the top of the points table. Everyone was expecting a good performance from them and they delivered a big shock until these matches. They were at the bottom of the league and had very bad experiences. Now they are recovering a little bit and I think they will be in a better position in the league. In my opinion, PSG still continues to be the biggest favorite for the championship. I don't think any team other than them will win the championship in League 1.

You are right because one of the things a club must not do is to depend on one player to survive because if eventually the player sustain injury or left the club it could be very difficult for the club to perform, so however we no that PSG is a very strong team with a great potential but however depending on one player for a victory in every of there matches is not good, so perhaps since Mbappe is a bright player with a lot of good quality, so what PSG suppose to do is to sign more capable player that can possibly perform the way he does and the earlier is better, besides with the financial status of PSG they are not supposed to be depending on one player because they have all the resources to afford any player they want.

Lyon actually tried after poor start this season. They have now won their last four matches in a row including their match against Monaco; this has shown that, Lyon did not deserve to be relegated, they are just having a bad season due to injuries and some red cards they do have more often that affected their performance.

Yes, PSG after recovering from their poor early matches form has regain their balance and are now 10 points ahead of  Nice, this is showing that the league is not that competitive because PSG’s players quality will not be in top four if some top European League, but they will still win this league because they are the only team that worth winning the league as AS Monaco is not as serious as they used to be.

On Champions League aspect, I don’t think they will go above semi finals because their team’s quality is not up to last season’s level and yet they did not win the Champions League, therefore I did not expect them to ha far this season because they do have quality squad.
