Luis Enrique definitely has reasons for this but this defeat doesn't need to be regretted and of course in the future PSG can still play with their main players.
At least in this match PSG can still compete by scoring 2 goals even though they had to concede 3 goals until the round 2 finished.
I also salute Shinji Kagawa for managing to play well enough to even contribute 1 goal and at the age of 34, Shinji Kagawa can still keep up with the games of other young players.

I know Luis Enrique is quite an experienced coach. And I believe if PSG management gives Luis Enrique enough time, opportunity, money and freedom then Luis Enrique will be able to stabilize this team. But Luis Enrique must be given sufficient funds and freedom.

A number of important changes have taken place within the PSG squad. Two of the team's players, Mbappe and Messi, will not be with the team next season. And so the team's performance is more likely to be erratic. Luis Enrique should make a new plan with this team. Adding experienced players to the forwards. If there are no experienced players in the forward, they will not be able to maintain the consistency of performance.

yes indeed this will be a tough job for Enrique because he has to overhaul players who have been neatly arranged by Galtier and also some people still recognize that Enrique performance is very good to build PSG stronger but I still doubt it because in reality Enrique will not easily find a replacement the star players are in this team as you said and only got some not so quality players added to the PSG line-up.
just imagine like Galtier who has been around for a long time and has more experience than Enrique and managed to get players like Mbappe and Messi still failing to reach the UCL cup and now Enrique only relies on ordinary players it will be much more difficult.
once again I dont doubt but just a little dont believe whether I can reach the top of the UCL or will only win League 1 like the previous season.

PSG did not use all star players in this summer pre-season matches and they accept bad results with alternative and young players. Osaka won with a goal from Kagawa, a former player of Manchester United. He is old but can still play well enough in the match with PSG.

Ball possession is not enough to help you winning a match. Luis Enrique should know about this with his experience in Roma, Barcelona and Spain so I believe he is not surprised with the defeat. He just came to Paris and PSG recent weeks and let's give him more patience and time which he surely needs to get acquainted with his new players.

I agree with you that even with alternative players, PSG should beat Cerezo Osaka but their players did played a bad match. I don't think their alternative players played the match with lack of ambition because they must play well to show up their capability with a new coach. If they have good performance during a pre-season friendly tournament, they will have better chance to be used in a coming season.

It was really disappointing to see this defeat, even though when referring to PSG possession of the ball, Cerezo Osaka really dominated. 72 percent versus 28 percent but Cerezo managed to come out victorious in this fight. It looks like Luis Enrique really needs to work harder to raise the spirits of his players. Especially with the various issues of moving players, it will make the PSG squad not focus on the match even though this is only a friendly match.

Without strengthening Mbappe PSG should still be able to beat Cerezo Osaka easily, because they have many other star players. The results of this match can be a lesson for Enrique to improve his game scheme in the future.

At one time PSG had one of the strongest attacking divisions in the world but now they lack that balance. Messi has already left, Mbappe may leave this season or next, the forward or midfielder is not experienced enough in this case, the club has to plan a lot with this club. Luis Enrique took charge of PSG, he can only make some changes in the team's plan and strategy but if he is not given the freedom to buy the players he wants, he cannot change the state of the team with his plan and strategy alone. Since Mbappe has the possibility of staying at PSG for one more season, the PSG president may not be planning so much for this team this season as well. But when Mbappé leaves, maybe those same stars will re-plan this team.

Another bad result from PSG. It was losing against cerezo ozaka.



I saw that if PSG has been using all of its new players. The team was dominating the match but it keeps lose against CRZ. CRZ was only able doing counter attack but i must admit that if almost all of counter attacks made by CRZ has very high accuracy.
So many shoots on target being made by CRZ unlike PSG which is only a few from so many shoots. The performance from PSG is still far from what i have expected.

Ugarte, asensio, and so many great players already played against CRZ but the result was still the same. CRZ was beating PSG. So many people were also showing their disappointed in various online media like youtube.
This is only a friendly match but it means a lot for me. A big team like PSG might able to beat CRZ easily but it does nothing against CRZ.

PSG loses its souls in the attacking lines.

For a team like PSG they should be able to win this match with certainty and I will also not make a statement that even though this is only a pre-season match, they cannot fully accept defeat. I understand PSG are currently trying a new method for next season's competition because so many new players have joined, so coach Luis Enrique must be able to give the right direction to his players so they can adapt quickly.

Not playing Neymar from the start was also part of the strategy implemented by Luis Enrique and if Neymar has such an important impact on official matches then surely Luis Enrique will do it. I think this is just an experiment conducted by PSG and then they will evaluate all existing performance to get better results.

The board sacking Christophe Galtier and replacing him with Luis Enrique, we all know that the possibilities of the new boss to survive in the club is 50/50, there's absolutely no two ways about it. I'm still keen on watching the parisians performance next season. PSG seems to appear more weaker compared to last season, they got everything they were looking for, still yet they couldn't lift their ultimate target. It's really a tragedy for the club, to lost most their crucial players, it's high time they kicks back to form and make good plans on bringing excellent winning results to Parc des Princes stadium next season.

PSG don't have superstars like last season anymore and they don't have the strongest forwards in the world in the other hand, instead of working with Galtier they are working on Enrique and this can maybe help PSG to have a more balanced team for the next season, however finding good forwards to fill Mbappe and Messi's place can't be easy for PSG.

But what good is a ball+on d'or? Messi and CR7 have many, and what has led them to that? to nothing, well to earn the disrespect many times from the European club , in the case of Messi with Barcelona , they made him leave Through the back door , then Barcelona , as they saw that they could not get their heads out of the hole where they were sunk, because they wanted to subdue Messi again, so things are not like that, also young players like veterans have a good opportunity , in the near future as things look, many promising players will want to go to rage and not to Europe , That's normal , money is something Everyone needs , so why Say no?


Well, we can't put the noose around PSG's neck in these types of games either, we must emphasize that sometimes the coach in these games tests their players a lot, especially those on the bench to see how they do it in case one of the headlines fail, because they have several options, now after all the controversy about Mbappé, I think that this player has made a lot of noise with respect only to him and people have forgotten the importance of the Club, that is something that We cannot forget, without a team there are no players, in the pre-season things can look bad or good, things will be interesting when Ligue 1 starts and see how they do it, Asencio is a very good player, he has to adapt to the PSG's level of play, it's all.

Seeing the performance with the games that have taken place, we can no longer be making predictions that they will lose Ligue 1, much less be disappointed, I have seen Real Madrid lose their pre-season games and later become champions in La Liga and in the UCL, So these kinds of things are what we should pay attention to.

PSG as a team have a lot of money and are capable of paying any player, I don't know if you know this but one of PSG's plans was to bring in Harry Kane and embarrass a Bayern that already had everything ready, and in fact things It was going to happen, only the player didn't want to leave, this mole of things is what makes PSG a team that is looking for all possible ways to become stronger and better than in previous seasons.

I'm sure the Sheikh is looking for the best players for his team, I was able to offer large amounts of money, for example to Mbappé who is no longer the darling, he proposed to stay but with a new contract, that is, they are not fools either, If the player wants to leave, let him leave but without more money, then sometimes things tend to be fairer and if you contribute well, you are paid well, this is something I admire about the sheikh, because he is doing it with his club in mind.

Real Madrid told transfer fee they must pay to sign Kylian Mbappe




Source: https://therealchamps.com/2023/07/28/real-madrid-transfer-fee-kylian-mbappe/

Well I don't know, but what do you think, Real Madrid wants Mbappé's free transfer, that means that he is not as well priced as everyone believes, it is clear that he would be the perfect Replacement for Benzema, but he is highly valued by the Madrid ? I don't think so, they are not going to dust off 250M Eur, this means or rather they give him a very Subliminal message that Mbappé is not worth the expense, that he better stay at PSG for the season, he manages and he will see that ago, that he is only interested as a free agent, it is complicated, despite the fact that many have the Hope of seeing the Frenchman in the Ranks of Madrid , I highly Doubt it.

That was a world-record bid for a footballplayer, crazy bid for Mbappef for €300m. But as we know, Mbappe has clearly refused and does not want it. Of course, he is arguably one of the best players at the moment, at his age, there is no possibility of him ever going to the Arab league. His career in the world of football is still long and shining. Now it depends on PSG's decision itself, so far there has been no definite decision regarding Mbappe.

For a team to be successful, I think it does not matter who the coach is for all the players are. They will have to work together regardless. That’s how is a good team actually finds success. But we all know that Mbappé seems to always have a problem with that. With no Lionel Messi Or Cristiano Ronaldo, it is easy for him to claim that he is the best player in the world right now. I am not saying that he is not. But sometimes I think that him actually thinking that he is the best player in the world is what causes the problems. If you want to be the best player in the world, you cannot be selfish.


Luis Enrique is a good manager. I don’t think it is going to be a big problem for him to find out what will be the optimal solution for PSG. But he will have to bring in quite a few new players in the squad.


One thing I wanted to know from you guys was, has PSG actually taken the car power from Mbappé away, which is made him have authority over other players in the PSG squad?

Why do you have to link Mbappe with Haaland because it can already be seen that Haaland is playing in a competitive league and he has managed to prove the quality of being a very aggressive player for now and he doesn't seem selfish in himself. Well mbappe he played in ligue 1 and there wasn't too much tough competition going on so he set a lot of individual records in ligue 1 but he prided himself on the various problems he caused.

It looks like other teams are definitely not going to waste a lot of money just to sign one a player. I think he can reach the pinnacle of his career if he stays with PSG and agrees to a contract extension. I think turning down the offer from the saudi arabia team is a good decision because he wants to play in europe because of his young age.

If Kylian Mbappe is playing for money then I hope he doesn't really manage to win what he wants. I don't see Mbappe having the big soul as a star player even though he won the World Cup with France. Mbappe is too selfish, that is the biggest barrier to making him the best player in the world right now.

Compared to Haaland, I think Haaland is much better than Kylian Mbappe. Haaland doesn't seem selfish and he doesn't play for himself because he is more concerned with the team than his achievements. As strikers, Haaland and Mbappe are the best strikers at the moment, but Haaland is the first in my opinion. If Mbappe leaves PSG because of money, then I don't think his career will be as bright as it was when he returned to Europe.

Precisely what triggered the polemic between PSG and Mbappe, one of which was money.

Let's flashback, before Mbappe didn't say anything about his contract, everything was fine. In fact, we know very well that previously Mbappe signed a new contract until 2025. He took a photo with Nasser Al Khelaifi, while holding the PSG 2025 jersey. And yep, there was a polemic. Mbappe said that he would not sign a contract extension that ends until 2024 with an additional option until 2025.

Referring to several sources that I read earlier, in the contract agreement between Mbappe and PSG, Mbappe will get a Signing-On Fee after his contact ends, and that is  fantastic value. so Mbappe only needs to survive one more season, to fulfill his contract and earn his bonus. he will go as a free agent, plus get a contract bonus from PSG. therefore too, the PSG president took a stand, as Mbappe had changed his mind after saying that he would leave without being a free agent. pressure was put on PSG, but in fact there was no real impact.
Previously I said in several posts, there are several scenarios that can happen. it is possible that Mbappe will stay and sign his new contract, then he will leave for Madrid as a condition of the agreement. thus, PSG will not suffer a big loss. or another scenario, PSG will offer Madrid at a relatively low price. well, to be sure, we just follow the development.

I'm also disappointed, but with PSG striker I mean Asensio. That man still couldn't show his best performance, although it was a friendly match but at least he could scored. But I still believe Luis Enrique can get the League 1 title Sir, even though the defenders performance in the friendly match vs Cerezo Osaka was very bad, but I think Enrique can definitely improve them. After all, Enrique shouldn't be too serious in the match vs Cerezo Osaka, because he also must to be maintain the fitness of PSG players.

I was very disappointed with PSG's performance. They gave more emphasis on ball possession in this match. They also had some good attacks. But the attacking players were quite inexperienced. And so the team could not score more than 2 goals despite getting several easy chances. However, the performance of PSG's defenders in this match was very annoying to me. They played very badly. Although Osaka's players attacked relatively little, PSG conceded three goals due to poor performances from PSG's defenders. PSG won't even win the Ligue 1 title if they perform like this. Luis Enrique should try to rebuild this team completely.

I wonder how good the relationship between Mbappe and Luis Enrique will be for this year at least. Luis Enrique had a really good bond with Barcelona players in the past and Messi was there also. They became the Champions League winners once too - which was in the 2014/15 season. This makes me wonder whether a similar bond would be created between Enrique and PSG players also.

Before anything else the thing I wonder is whether Enrique's system will fit PSG well. Because we all know how Barcelona have been playing for years. Their system is quite different from PSG's. Enrique would be very likely to try the same thing for PSG this time.

However PSG don't play a tiki taka football. They like to play much faster than that and Mbappe is playing a big role in that system. This is the interesting point for now until we see some official matches of them.

I've seen countless clubs fail with their "star" players, and it's not uncommon to see mediocre clubs achieve great success. The bond between players, that's one of the keys that must be maintained, because after all it will greatly affect their play on the field. mutual understanding and understanding must be created so that what they do runs properly. For example, movement without the ball and also the habits of a player who gives a pass or who is given a pass, surely if they understand each other they will not have miscommunication, or even they will move before the ball is passed, or they will pass before the player asks for the ball he wants.

Miscommunication is the most common mistake in football, and it's because the chemistry between them is not there. It may seem simple, but it has a huge impact on the game.

The firmness of the coach will also be very influential, no matter the status of the player is a star player or not, but if they cannot apply according to the coach's instructions then they must get something that will make them change. Many coaches are successful because of their assertiveness towards their players.
