It's still very far to talk about UCL trophy`. PSG needs to prove the quality from the new team in the domestic league. I remind you that if you can't compare the performance from PSG in the domestic league and UCL. UCL has been filled by so many great clubs in the world.
PSG needs to perform even better than manchester city to make sure it will able to go to the play off. PSG was always failed even when it has great trio. I hope mbappe complete his new contract with PSG as soon as possible.
Im feeling so tired to see there have been many speculations related to this club and mbappe. Extending mbappe's contract will be helping to confirm that if mbappe will still stay in PSG.
I absolutely gutted if mbappe leaves from PSG even though he will be going to the real madrid.

Exactly, psg needs a team, at the start of this summer i thought they were ready to build a team, but they are not, they think that they can win the champions league by concentrating on only one player and making him bigger than the manager and the club. Psg should have won the champions league with Messi and Neymar, but the problem is the club is not managed in the right way.

Enrique is going to have a hard time, the owners at the club and Mbappe controls what happens in the team, and not the manager, a club can't be succesful that way, i know that they are succesful in the Ligue 1, but that is because the league is so weak and the other teams cannot compete with psg, if the league was stronger they will not be winning it most times.

We know the chance for Marseille to win this game is very high because in the past five games, they never lost any game against Metz before, while Metz is not a strong team to beat Marseille but maybe it's the time to take the risk for this game and bet on draw for this game because Marseille and Metz had four draws in the past five games they had against each other and the rates for a draw is 3.60 which is good to take the risk.  

 

I don't think the appearance of Dembele makes the PSG squad stronger. In fact they lost Messi and Neymar in this summer and Dembele is the only star player joined them. Other players they bought in this summer are not star players but we can assume it is big change in PSG policy. Whatsoever we must wait for some matches and maybe months to see how PSG perform in this season as well as how their new policy works.

Enrique only won one Champions League with Barcelona and his appearance is not a guarantee that PSG will win Champions League with him. PSG needs more than a coach, more than Enrique to win Champions League.

Dembele has the sacred number ten, which we hope will suit his PSG career very well. With Dembele present, the PSG squad really looks amazing the depth of their squad looks strong. But what makes PSG strong is still Mbappe, reportedly he is back playing for PSG. Under Enrique leadership it seems that Mbappe will be more confident about being able to get the UCL Trophy, if this season PSG gets a Trophy then I'm sure Mbappe will extend his contract with PSG.

Speculation about him moving to Real Madrid next season will not stop until there is news about his contract at PSG, if there is a contract extension at PSG of course he will stay at this club unless there is a club that is willing to buy him at a high price for him to leave PSG, and is Real Madrid willing to do that?, the biggest value Real Madrid has ever done was 115 million euros when buying Eden Hazard from Chelsea and it was the most expensive purchase and failed because this player could not develop properly at Santiago Barnebue, maybe Real Madrid was reluctant to buy him from PSG if he extends his contract at PSG because being able to get it freely is certainly more enjoyable because Real Madrid must also be prepared to provide a large salary for this French player, because Mbappe's salary at PSG is already high and Real Madrid must be able to provide the same or if it is below that value there will not be much difference.

There should be no doubts about betting on a win for Marseille, but sometimes something we don't want can happen. The previous win against Reims is definitely a very important capital for Marseille to improve the performance of its players. Even though Reims is also not an easy team to beat, but considering that Marseille has quality that is still above them, we can still understand the result.

Now Marseille is going up against the promoted team this season which is Metz and seeing the second H2H there are some results that emphasize draws to several wins for Marseille. But I will try to take the results from the closest season and refer to this, the possibility of a draw is still strong in the match. So I will not take full risk to bet on Marseille and will take the handicap (-0.25) with odds @1.52 for Marseille to win.

Today there will be a game between Marseille vs Metz and maybe this will be an opportunity for all of us who want to bet on a Ligue 1 match at the start of this summer.
Marseille itself is a fairly strong club in Ligue 1 and they even have a Champions League ticket because last season they managed to finish Ligue 1 in 3rd place in contrast to Metz who was only able to enter Ligue 1 this season.

Even though in the Champions League qualifying match Marseille had to lose on penalties but for this match against Metz they will be able to win easily.
Marseille in the previous match against Reims also performed quite well and managed to win with a score of 2 - 1.

I believe that Dembélé was brought in to add depth to the squad. Not to be a replacement for Neymar. And it is going to be really hard for the coach to actually find a suitable substitute for Neymar at the left wing position. We all know that he is obviously one of the best in that position. In recent times, I think he is the best left-winger to be honest.

We could talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, but we know that he has been playing as a striker in recent times even though he was a left-winger in his early man UTD days.

Anyway, I don’t think Dembélé is going to perform well in the left wing position anyway. At least not as well as he can in the right wing position. And it is definitely not going to be easy finding a replacement on the left wing position. Even if they do, I highly doubt that he is actually going to be as good as Neymar or even close. Luis Enrique does have a big job on his hand.

Dembele is a good player and he will be a good replacement for Neymar who left PSG and moved to Saudi Arabia. Dembele has better speed than Neymar and he is younger than the Brazilian player too. With Dembele, PSG will have better ability to do counter attacking with his speed and less dribbling habit than Neymar. Five year contract looks good as after the contract ends, Dembele will no longer be young and PSG will consider to replace him by another younger player.

Ramos just had one good match in World Cup 2022 and I am so doubtful that he will be able to be a good striker for PSG. At least he is ready to learn and improve but at his age, I think the chance to see his big upgrade is so slim. I am unsure that Ramos will be combined well with Dembele and Mbappe as if these players play together, Ramos will have to sacrifice central space for Mbappe as the French player will be unhappy if his opportunities to score goals drop because of Ramos's appearance at the center.

The second week of matches in the French Ligue 1 starts today with Metz vs Marseille. Metz lost to Rennes last week. They conceded 5 goals in that game. And they gave a bad image to the audience. I think they don't have enough squad for Ligue 1. But I don't want to speak negatively about them already. On the other hand, we have seen radical changes in Marseille this season. They parted ways with coach Tudor and signed Marcelino. They beat Reims 2-1 in the first week in the league. But in the Champions League they were eliminated by Panathinaikos. Marseille actually didn't give me enough confidence. But I think they will beat Metz tonight.

Dembele was contracted for 5 years and this seems very convincing that PSG really believes that Dembele can help PSG to win a title this season at the top of the standings and regarding Gancalo Ramos it looks like Enrique will provide a new strategy using Mbappe and Ramos for attacking line positions because it takes advantage of performance Ramos seems to be very good to work with Mbappe but these two players seem to have a strong chemistry first but the situation is a little difficult and lets see in the upcoming matches maybe my prediction was a little wrong.

I do believe mbappe already offered something big by PSG. Real maust be absolutely gutted about the news mbappe is interesting to extend his contract. I just saw there have been much bad news related to the madrid responding mbappe's decision to extend his contract.
Madrid may be feeling fed up with mbappe's news. Mbappe once again played madrid. There were many people talked him last weeks. Mbappe makes everything clear with just having a good relationship with PSG again.
Mbappe fucked madrid once again. It doesn't make sense if madrid is still willing to take him. PSG was just making so much drama related to him.

The final decision has not yet taken by him. How can you say that if mbappe already indicated won't activate his one year extension with PSG? Everything about mbappe is complicated thing.

You have to understand, that the situation is not that simple. because after all, conflict with a club as big as PSG is not good. Previously, Mbappe had decided not to renew his contract and he would stay until 2024. This statement caused a reaction and an uproar between Mbappe and the club president, we have even seen the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga. which in the end PSG is serious about not playing Mbappe, a situation that will not be pleasant for both parties. but this step was taken by PSG, because they were serious about their actions.

On the other hand, Madrid did not react after PSG included Mbappe on the list of selling players in this summer window. maybe as rumored, if Madrid already has a pre-secret agreement with Real Madrid. that is why, so far no attempt has been made by Madrid to get Mbappe. suddenly, after the Ligue 1 competition had restarted. Mbappe changed his mind, who was willing to return to play with the PSG squad.

There are many rumors being reported, the point is that Mbappe has negotiated with PSG. there are several agreements in the new contract, Mbappe can leave next season if Madrid are willing to take him from PSG. that means, as PSG have said, they will not let Mbappe leave for free. however, in this new contact Mbappe could leave next season if Madrid so wish. or it could be, another club that intends to use Mbappe's services. thus, both parties get a win-win solution. Mbeppe can move to Real Madrid in the following season, but Madrid will have to spend a lot of money at an agreed price. btw, what I'm saying refers to some news sources that I read.

One thing he can do to come clean with PSG is to actually be upfront with what he wants. He can tell the PSG authority directly that he does not want to extend his contract. He also wants to leave at the end of the season. Of course, if he actually wants that he can do this. But that is definitely going to mean the PSG team not taking him seriously as a starting player. They are going to bench him for most of the season. Probably that is why he has actually shown interest in extending the contract. We all know that he was not even in the training session with the main team. So probably does not want to waste last season with the PSG team. And if he is warming the bench for most of the season, that is definitely going to reduce his value in the marketplace.

Dembele was not recruited to replace Neymar, that was because the two of them played in different positions. Neymar is a left winger, while Dembele is a winger who operates on the right. I know Dembele can also play on the right wing, but his position is not as optimal on the right wing.

Luis Enrique has a lot of options on the right wing as well as a centre-forward, but I think it's a bit difficult to find a very good player on the left wing. Julian Draxler is the only player operating there, but Asensio, Mbappe, Kang-in Lee and Ousmane Dembele could also be deployed there. I'd love to see Luis Enrique use Asensio, Dembele and Mbappe as forwards in their games this week, I think that will go a long way in their strength in the game.

People continue to say the same thing that Mbappe will just stay here for one last season and then join Real Madrid on a free transfer. I also believe that to happen truthfully. There is a claim like PSG will find a way to extend his contract as the relationship between is getting better.

But I don't think so. After Mbappe stated everything clearly about his future there should be no return. Maybe he didn't state that he was going to join Real Madrid after this season. But he indicated that he wouldn't activate his one-year extension with PSG.

I think with the arrival of Dembele and the return of Mbappe to the main squad it will certainly be better than before, there is no other way for PSG to entrust the front line to these two other than that it is really useless and underperforming, so I think Dembele will be a pretty good forward to accompany Mbappe up front against Toulouse this weekend.

With Dembele joining, of course he will be included in the main squad to play and get points in the second Ligue 1 match after previously having to share points with Lorient due to a goalless draw, Mbappe's return and Dembele's joining should be able to get full points in the game later. at least stay on the winning path so you can be at the top of the standings.

It's not so difficult to get dembele. PSG was only sending its first bid for dembele and he agreed with it. It doesn't even take a long time like mbappe which is also interesting in extending his contract in PSG rather than leave from the club.
Dembele is replacing neymar and i believe dembele will always become a starting lineup. It's pretty interesting to know the position of goncalo ramos after mbappe was coming back again. I remember that mbappe mostly played as central forward previuos season.
Since he is going back again and i do believe if mbappe will try to take that position again. PSG acquired Goncalo Ramos to occupy that position,will Enrique bench Ramos?

PSG had so many strikers but none of them were useful. They were underperform. That's why PSG is very happy mbappe comes back again.

Real Madrid is a very rich club financially they can sign any player they want, Real Madrid is a team that every player dreams of wearing the jersey but luckily what Real Madrid offers. Before signing a player, Real Madrid put the player under observation for a long time, then if Real Madrid feels that the deal will bring them profit, then they complete the deal. At the moment there are many players that Real Madrid can sign a contract with if they want to, but if you search, you may not find a player like Mbappe at the moment. Not only this season Madrid are waiting for Mbappe, Real Madrid also waited for Mbappe last season, when they did not succeed in the previous season, they were patient and offered him again in the next season, and this season also Real Madrid did not succeed in signing Mbappe. Real Madrid will be able to take Mbappe as a free agent member in the next season.
