Mbappe is a technician, always great to see players with explosive pace, Walker did well to mark him be fair though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll shut up if he scores a decent number of goals in the PL or Primera Liga. But you do think he’s overrated and needs to score in the PL or Primera Liga to prove himself, yes?

Teams like Leeds, Brentford or Everton would be cannon fodder in France as well I think a certain Qatari ownership has certainly raised the Ligue 1 profile and standing. The depth isn't there though... But PSG are light years ahead and haven't lost a match. Man. City will always lose a couple because the league is so strong, we know this.

He was kept very quiet last night... ...yet still managed to blitz past Walker and put in a ball which Rabiot(?) should've done better with. So he's dangerous when doing **** all, which is a good trait for a footballer to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps overrated would be a tad strong, I agree he's a great player who didn't exactly prove his World Class stature last night. That was really all I alluded to yet others piled in with the comparisons to Pele, Haaland, Lewandowski etc and not playing in stronger leagues. Thing is PSG are far and away the best in France and their team is top quality, the drop off with the rest is huge both in resources and player acquisitions. I suppose we could say the same for City in the PL but they have already lost a couple. Edited December 11, 2022 by Zhan_Zhuang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty fair to say that PSG are dominant in French football. Oh absolutely, they are the only club that can afford to keep their players when the rich clubs from abroad comes asking. France produces a ridiculous amount of talented players thou so it's unfair to say it's a poor league when it comes to quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think there are some good teams in France and obviously good players too but there is no depth. Thought this was interesting, players represented at the WC: England 136 La Liga 83 Bundesliga 75 Serie A 68 Ligue 1 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't forget that he coached all the excitement out of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi all those years ago. I'm not sure how he still manages to get work myself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
