  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.

  • GET FRENCH FOOTBALL NEWS 2020/2021 Ligue 1 Preview Guide
    GET FRENCH FOOTBALL NEWS 2020/2021 Ligue 1 Preview Guide Rarely has French football been simultaneously seemingly on the verge of a breakthrough moment in Europe, with the Champions’ League achievements of Lyon and Paris Saint-Ger- main not yet brought to their conclusion as I write this, or so seemingly vulnerable. For all of the achievements that teams like Lille or Lyon have had in recent years, French clubs still re- main prey for those with deeper pockets, and success only makes their most talented players that much more attractive - the unsettled nature of things at both the Stade Pierre Mauroy and Groupama Stadium are testament to that. Still, though, there is much to celebrate as a new season of Ligue 1 dawns - yes, Paris Saint-Ger- main look likely to stroll to the title again, but Marseille and their boisterous supporters will relish being back in Europe’s elite competition after finishing second. There is joy, too, at Rennes, where the Breton side have continued their steady improvement under Julien Stéphan and been rewarded with a place in the Champions’ League. For all of their acheivements last campaign, though, both of those teams may struggle, as Lille did last season, to negotiate playing in Eu- rope. Both have made important additons this summer, though, in the form of the influential Álva- ro González making his loan move permanent for Marseille and Rennes making a canny move in plucking Martin Terrier from Lyon to bolster their attack. Among their competitors, however, Lille have been the big spenders, splashing out €30m on the Canadian attacker Jonathan Da- vid, his success in the Belgian league hopefully boding well for him as he hopes to succeed the departed Victor Osimhen.

  • 2018/2019 Ligue 1 Preview Guide
    2018/2019 LIGUE 1 PREVIEW GUIDE As Ligue 1 begins again, there is a rare air of expectancy. No, there haven’t been the sort of blockbuster transfers of the likes of Kylian Mbappé or Neymar, just the usual flow of some of the league’s best players to England and Spain, in the form of Malcom, Fabinho, Thomas Le- mar, Issa Diop, and others.But there have also been a number of brilliant signings made under the radar, and given the recent record of French clubs in turning young players around for con- siderable profit, the league’s official new slogan “The League ofalents” T may be more apt than the casual observer may realise. Paris Saint-Germain, of course, remain prohibitive favourites for the title, but have enough weaknesses, particularly at left back and in defensive midfield as new manager Thomas uchelT toys with the idea of a back three. Still, though, this marks a decided summer of change for the champions, for whom Gianluigi Buffon is their only signing, a marked contrast from previous spending. Still, though, a full season of Neymar and further development from Kylian Mbappé should leave them well-placed to repeat. Away from the capital, Lyon and Marseille haven’t experienced much in the way of movement, with both clubs losing only a few spare parts, as Nabil Fékir’s mooted move to Liverpool failed to come to fruition. The additions of Léo Dubois and Martin Terrier follow on from their recent trend (Lucas Tousart, Tanguy N’Dombélé) of buying young players from other clubs, hoping to reap the benefits by selling them on.

  • MITROVIĆ « Prêts À Nous Battre » Le Partenaire Qui Fait Croustiller Vos Moments
    #RCSASRFC | 12ème JOURNÉE | 27.11.2020 Stefan MITROVIĆ « Prêts à nous battre » Le partenaire qui fait croustiller vos moments FOOT avec le L’édito SORTIR DU TROU Avant de recevoir Rennes, dans la froideur d’un vendredi soir de novembre, le Racing occupe sa pire place en Ligue 1 au 21e siècle après 11 journées. La même, en fait, que lors de la saison 2005/2006. 19e avec 6 maigres points au compteur. Cette année-là, il n’avait pas échappé à la relégation, achevant son calvaire au même endroit. 19e avec 29 points. Ce n’est pas un rappel prémonitoire, au contraire. C’est juste que l’heure n’est plus à se rêver dans la première moitié du classement. Que ce rêve, en tout cas, n’est pas le sujet du moment. Le 10e est 10 points devant. Rien que le chemin jusqu’au 13e (Brest, 15 points) indique déjà la complexité de la situation. Le Racing est dans le trou. Il doit l’accepter. Il doit juste ne pas accepter d’y rester, d’admettre que pour en sortir il va falloir batailler avec une grande humilité. L’équipe est dans l’épreuve, dans la difficulté. Face à un combat où les mêmes forces ayant, dans un passé récent, mené au succès aideront à briser la spirale de l’échec. On pourrait dire que la route est longue encore. 27 matches à jouer avec 81 points sur la table. Mais il ne faut pas jouer avec le temps. L’amertume serait le prix de procrastination. Alors, oui, c’est tout de suite et tout le temps.

UEFA Europa League holders Sevilla earned a goalless draw at Chelsea on Matchday 1, while Sehrou Guirassy had the honour of scoring Rennes' first ever European Cup goal the same night, although visitors – and fellow competition newcomers Krasnodar – swiftly hit back for a 1-1 draw. Form guide Sevilla • This is Sevilla's sixth UEFA Champions League group stage campaign, and a first since 2017/18, when they reached the quarter-finals. They have qualified for the knockout round in all but one of the previous five participations. • Julen Lopetegui's side won the UEFA Europa League in 2019/20, beating Internazionale 3-2 in the final. It was their record-extending sixth triumph in the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, all since 2006. • Sevilla finished first in their UEFA Europa League group last season with 15 points having won all but one of their matches, then ousted CFR Cluj on away goals in the round of 32 (1-1 a, 0-0 h) before wins in one-off ties in Germany against Roma (2-0), Wolves (1-0), Manchester United (2-1) and Inter.

It is true, of course, that what we should be prioritising in a difficult time is our mental and physical health, as well as that of those around us, rather than football. But even if there are more important things in life (and there are), we should also acknowledge the positive role that sport can play in our lives. Even if virtually, fandom brings us together, connecting us with a global network of supporters, each of us as eager as the last to debate the merits of Memphis Depay, agonise over Dimitri Payet’s inconsis- tent form, or get into a lather over how Kylian Mbappé — isn’t — top of this list. To that end, we welcome debate and conjecture over these players rankings and inclusions, albeit with the caveat that with such a small sample size (most French-based teams played just 26 League Apps 2020), there is necessar- ily more variance, and a good (or poor) run of form stretching a half dozen matches or so can have an outsize effect on a player’s placement. Still, though, this was once again an enjoyable exercise in what was an historic year for French football, given the success of Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions’ League.
