  • Ligue-1-2016 2017.Pdf
    A Note from the Editor: For many, Ligue 1 cannot restart quickly enough following an almost perfect, but fundamentally cruel EURO 2016 for France on home soil. The pain suffered on that night in Paris by Didier Deschamps’s men and an entire nation remains all the more heartrending because of the newfound professionalism that Les Bleus conducted themselves with throughout the tournament. Karim Benzema antics aside, contrary to years of squad infighting, the team spirit inside the French camp was the strongest it had been since 2000. On the pitch, France proved that they are on the cusp of a new golden generation, with Samuel Umtiti, Kingsley Coman and Antoine Griezmann all shining. Although some of Les Bleus’ much touted young guns fell short of expectations, namely Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, France’s U19 EURO win further confirms that the future is astonishingly bright for French football on the international scene. One would not be foolish to expect there to be some turnover of talent for the 2018 World Cup cycle, with Patrice Evra and others’ involvement coming to an end. Much like Les Bleus therefore, Ligue 1 too can expect a very different feel for the 2016/17 season. PSG have entered a new era after President Al Khelaifi’s obsession for progression in the Champions’ League failed to be adequately satisfied by Laurent Blanc, leading to the latter’s dismissal. Les Parisiens have appointed Unai Emery in Blanc’s place, who brings a new-age management approach that relies on a squad instead of a team of individuals, a charge often leveled at Blanc’s PSG.

  • Ligue 1 2015/2016: Your Guide to the Season Ahead
    Ligue 1 2015/2016: Your Guide to the Season Ahead Get French Football News A Note from the Editor: Explosive: not a word commonly associated with French football’s top flight in the 21st century. However, the 2014/15 campaign lived up to the aforementioned tag in some style, with Alexandre Lacazette-led surprise package Olympique Lyonnais taking PSG to the final pair of matches for the Ligue 1 top spot, not to mention Marcelo Bielsa’s revolutionary attempts at a magnificent, but unsustainable title charge with Marseille which fell to pieces come the turn of the calendar year. The introduction of so many new faces sitting on the end of substitute benches (or in some cases on top of ice boxes) across France injected a certain amount of unpredictability into Ligue 1’s 2014/15 edition which saw the league make positive strides, at least with regards to the entertainment factor. Leonardo Jardim, Hubert Fournier, Ghislain Printant and Willy Sagnol, to name a few, have all, in very short spaces of time, revolutionized their respective clubs’ reputations, for better or for worse. With such a vast array of tactical approaches, 2014/15 was the season during which Ligue 1 truly became the most ferociously volatile division in Europe. SC Bastia and Guingamp felled PSG, Lyon were dismantled by Nice at home and Marseille were embarrassed by Lorient. The lack of pan-club consistency made for frustrating viewing for hardcore fans, but enthralled the neutrals. As if 10 months of action-packed league football was not enough, French football has a way of making headlines, even during the off season.

  • Újpest Fc Rovatcím Vezetőedzői Nyilatkozat Stabilnak Kell Maradnunk
    A PUSKÁS AKADÉMIA FC MŰSORFÜZETE MOL MAGYAR KUPA 9. FORDULÓ 2021 02.24. PUSKÁS AKADÉMIA FC – ÚJPEST FC ROVATCÍM VEZETŐEDZŐI NYILATKOZAT STABILNAK KELL MARADNUNK Hornyák Zsolt örül csapata eddigi jó szériájának, de nem foglalkozik a statisztikákkal, sokkal inkább arra koncentrál, hogy együttesünk minél tovább megtartsa kiváló formáját. – A Budafok elleni volt zsinórban az ötödik meg- nyert bajnokink, s ezzel klubrekordot állítottunk fel. Jelenthet-e motiváló erőt a csapat számára, hogy még tovább nyújthatjuk ezt a pozitív sorozatot? – Nem kötném össze a két dolgot, inkább máskép- pen fogalmazva azt mondanám, a továbbiakban is sze- retnénk olyan teljesítményt nyújtani, amely sikerhez vezet. Az, hogy ez egy pozitív sorozat része, persze jó, de nem ez a legfontosabb, sokkal inkább az, hogy to- vábbra is jól és eredményesen tudjunk futballozni. A hangsúly a stabilitáson van, ezt kell megőriznünk, mert eddig is ez hozta az eredményeket. – Most az Újpest elleni Magyar Kupa-meccs kö- vetkezik a sorban, amely jellegénél fogva különbö- zik a bajnokiktól, a lila-fehéreknek ráadásul meg- lehetősen kiszámíthatatlan a teljesítményük. Ezek alapján milyen mérkőzést vársz? – A lila-fehér csapat nagyon nehéz ellenfél lesz, de bízom abban, hogy aki pályára lép szerdán, folytatni fogja a téli felkészüléskor elkezdett és eddig jól végzett munkát. Az Újpest, bárhol álljon is a tabellán, mindig az Újpest marad, komoly múlttal rendelkező csapat, amely ráadásul jó napjain bizony tud nagyon jól is ját- szani, egyszóval nem szabad az eddigi eredményeik- ből kiindulni. Mi arra készülünk, hogy jó napjuk lesz, és tudjuk, hogy keményen meg kell küzdenünk a tovább- jutásért, amelyet jó játékkal szeretnénk kivívni. – Irányításod alatt öt tétmeccset és egy felké- szülési találkozót játszottunk az újpestiekkel, ebből ötször mi nyertünk.

  • Your Guide to the 2017/18 Ligue 1 Season Get French Football News a Note from Chief Features Writer, Eric Devin
    Your Guide to the 2017/18 Ligue 1 Season Get French Football News A Note from Chief Features Writer, Eric Devin: So often the figure of fun in the recent past, as a product of Paris Saint-Germain’s financial hegemony, Ligue 1 seemed to have gained a measure of respect last season. Monaco’s performance in the Champions’ League in combination with their league title put lie to the impression that football in France was a monopoly, while Nice quietly had their best season in forty years under Lucien Favre. Even Lyon, once themselves the league’s perceived flat track bully, impressed, beating Roma and Besiktas on their way to the Europa League semifinal. Further down the table, Bastia gave the league an unnecessary black eye, but there were also pleasant surprises as well. Antoine Kombouaré and Pascal Dupraz had Guingamp and Toulouse scrapping at the fringes of the top six for most of the early season, while Nantes’ Sergio Conceição had Les Canaris flying high after his appointment. The league’s reputation for producing young talent continued unabated as well, with Kylian Mbappé, Ismaila Sarr and Malang Sarr all impressing before their twentieth birthdays. All told, 2016-17 was a strong season in France, even with Paris Saint-Germain’s embarrassing Champions’ League exit. This summer has seen the inevitable exodus of players, with Lyon and Monaco both losing several key components, but a surprising number of talents have chosen to stay in France, including Ismaila Sarr, (Metz to Rennes), Enzo Crivelli (Bordeaux to Angers) and Nicolas Pepe (Angers to Lille).

  • Ligue 1 2014/2015: Your Guide to the Season Ahead
    Ligue 1 2014/2015: Your Guide to the Season Ahead Get French Football News A Note from the Editor: From Copacabana beach to the Stade Auguste Delaune: Ligue 1 kicks off again on the 8th of August when Reims host back-to-back champions Paris Saint Germain in the first encounter of the new season. The summer brought with it one of the most wholesome World Cups in recent history, where Ligue 1 stars both thrived and blossomed. Whether you were marveling at David Ospina or Guillermo Ochoa between the sticks, noting the potential of Serge Aurier or appreciating the sheer brilliance of James Rodriguez, it seemed that wherever one turned; the spirit of France’s top flight was being embodied by some of its most emblematic characters. While the majority of the aforementioned stars will undoubtedly move on this summer, Ligue 1 is not standing still. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to lead PSG to Champions League glory, regardless of the supposed limitations that Financial Fair Play regulations have imposed on the Ligue 1 champions. The seasonal managerial merry-go-round has gone some way to reshuffling the pack and Willy Sagnol, Marcelo Bielsa, Hubert Fournier, Claude Makélélé, Leonardo Jardim and Jean Luc Vasseur have all been handed fresh starts at various outfits. A new campaign brings with it three new sides. Ligue 1 welcomes back an eclectic bunch of former stalwarts with open arms in Metz, Caen and Lens. The latter club had the last laugh during a summer that may well be remembered for the administrative headaches that the French football watchdog the DNCG were causing, initially refusing Antoine Kombouaré’s men entry into France’s top flight.
