  • 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.

    LE PRÉSIDENT Laurent NICOLLIN Né le 26 janvier 1973 à Montpellier (Hérault) Né quelques mois avant la création du club montpelliérain, Laurent Nicollin a l’amour du club pailladin chevillé au corps. Mais derrière cette passion née dès son enfance se cache un chef d’entreprise capable, sans tomber dans les travers du foot business, de faire évoluer son club dans le bon sens. Président-Délégué pendant plus de 10 ans, il a géré le MHSC au quotidien durant cette période, prenant notamment une part prépondérante dans le titre de Champion de France en 2012, ainsi que dans de nombreux projets structurels parmi lesquels la boutique du club et le Centre d’entraînement Bernard-Gasset Mutuelles du Soleil, inauguré en mars 2015. Outre la progression des équipes premières masculines et féminines,il est très investi dans la formation et ne rate rien des résultats des jeunes. Positionné en rassembleur pragmatique après l’arrêt des championnats suite à la pandémie de Covid-19 , il a fait entendre sa voix tout en prenant de la hauteur. C’est sur cette politique d’unité, marque de fabrique qu’il insuffle à son club au quotidien, que Laurent Nicollin compte batir l’avenir. Un avenir qui va de pérénnité en Ligue 1 à construction du nouveau stade et qui se résume en 3 mots : passion, raison et ambition.

  • 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.

Ce dimanche, le Racing se déplace à Montpellier, dans un stade de la Mosson où il n’est jamais facile d’évoluer. Le MHSC continue de grandir au fil des saisons, à l’image de notre Racing mais avec toujours un temps d’avance. Deux clubs qui se ressemblent et dont les histoires se sont souvent mêlées. Revue d'effectifs L’équipe héraultaise a peu évolué lors de l’intersaison, son schéma semble être passée définitivement en 4-3-3. L’arrivée de Jonas Omlin en qualité de gardien titulaire, Stephy Mavididi pour compléter le duo Laborde-Delort sont les principaux faits d’armes. Omlin devrait effectuer son retour dans le onze et Mavididi semble s’y être imposé. Pour ne pas changer, l’effectif du Racing sera amputé de nombreux joueurs. Alexander Djiku, revenu touché de sa sélection, Bingourou Kamara pour un début de tendinite, Matz Sels, Lebo Mothiba, Adrien Lebeau et Mahamé Siby ne seront pas disponibles. Il sera difficile de prédire l’attitude de Thierry Laurey mais nous ne pouvons que nous réjouir de profiter de différentes options tactiques. Compositions probables Rien d’original pour la composition montpelliéraine hormis l’absence probable de Hilton. Jonas Omlin devrait retrouver sa place après l’intermède réussi de Dimitry Bertaud.
