    I think Messi arriving to the club really upset the already tense diva-status of Neymar and Mbappé, and also compromised the system and tactics. Imagine having to play the MNM every match they're available, your tactics basically have to revolve around having these 3 players on the pitch. It's enough for Ligue1, but then playing in the UCL with a squad where 3 players don't press nor defend is overkill, there is no other club that does it.
    Against Bayern they looked very hindered tactically and physically. Also having these 3 players and their enormous wages compromises the ability to sign better players in other positions, so when looking at PSG's bench and at Bayern's bench, it was clear one was a team built more or less carefully and with a plan for the team and the individuals, while PSG looked just like a rich guy's pet project.

    PSG just can't seem to handle the better opposition in the ucl and probably points to the fact that they basically play on autopilot for the majority of the season.

    Glad you touched on a fact that a lot of people often leave out. The main function of PSG at the moment is to sanitise the image of a regime guilty of numerous human rights violations. That's why they're happy to throw such an obscene amount of money after Mbappe to the detriment of the rest of the squad; the publicity they gain from their main stars far outweighs the benefits of actually winning the Champions League

    I enjoyed this, it was a nice complement to HITC Sevens' video on the club. I'd like to add a couple of little things I've learned about PSG which I think are a little harder to appreciate if you live outside of France. The first is that, at least in the city where I live, there appear to be more PSG fans than fans of the local club. That's quite sad, but also weird, because although it's an immigrant city (both international and from other regions of France) few people I meet are actually from Paris. The second is that there is an almost hysterical obsession with PSG in the media, and even to some degree among the public (notably not Marseille supporters however), to the extent that the PSG in the champions league seems almost indistinguishable from France playing in the World Cup or the Euros. I mean when PSG lose, the supposedly neutral media get as worked up as when France loses - it's kind of bonkers actually, how angry they get. And speaking of media, the final thing on my mind, which I rarely see talked about in France or elsewhere, is the historically tight relationship with the media. I haven't quite worked all that stuff out, but it does appear as though PSG, in a way unlike any other club in France, has been a media project first and foremost long before the Qataris got involved. I love your videos, keep it up.

      Isn't the whole 'when PSG loses in Europe' thing regarding the media pretty normal, though? Thing is, as far as the Champion's League is concerned, French teams are useless. So it's at least not surprising they want to rally behind the one team that *might* stand a chance. When it comes to European club competitions, you usually put your league opinions to rest and put yourself on the side of your country's club... well, unless it's a club that's really despised by the rest of the league (Leipzig here in Germany being a prominent example). Though in that case, it's usually because there's alternatives (like how Germany has Bayern or Dortmund who *can* go far if they don't hit a bad day), while France... pretty much has no other option than to root for PSG if they want to see any kind of success in the CL. They are just that bad of a league, at least compared to the other four big leagues.

    • @liquensrollant
      @liquensrollant Год назад +4

      ​@@segafreak2000 Yeah, maybe! I have a hard time believing that most English fans would get behind Liverpool, or Chelsea or frankly any other club, or Spanish fans behind Real Madrid, but where I come from there is no popular sport with a domestic league feeding into an international one, so maybe it's just me that thinks it's strange. Maybe my issue then is more about how transparently silly the PSG project is as a concept, the whole media project behind it in the past, and that all these folk and media have pinned their hopes on essentially a foreign country - Qatar - to win "France" the champions league, because France can't do it for itself (leaving beside the fact that it's a club competition)? I don't know, but I don't see English media losing their pyjamas when Man City get knocked out. (Personally, I always enjoy this time of year when inevitable waves of tears and rage wash across the media when PSG get eliminated, especially as *this* year will always be different! )
      Meanwhile, it's just slightly depressing going to a domestic PSG away game and feeling like the stadium is actually behind PSG, and for sure on the street you see more PSG shirts than the local club here (mind you, you see more of almost every other club, but at least they're not in competition with the local one...). The same thing happens with Marseille games, mind you, but at least you get the impression that the Marseille fans are actually genuine fans, and they make a bit of noise!
      By the way, I don't mean to knock PSG fans, the way their club is being mismanaged the fans are surely the biggest losers in all of this.

    The problem with PSG is they are to big to fit in the ligue1. Yes other teams in Ligue1 still cause them troubles here and there, but there are no Barcelona to Real Madrid, it was like EPL with only Man City and there are no Arsenal, Man Utd, Liver, Chelsea, just mid table dark horses and relegation teams. There are no higher standard to strive, once PGS got the oil money, they automatically became the best team in the league. In the end they have to rely on a few C1 matches they could play to test out their meter.
    Yes Bayern to the rest of Bundesliga is kinda the similar problem if you only look on their recent dominant years, but there is a very different mentallity in Germany. Bayern choose to be this way and they desparately want to be the only best team in the league despite valiant and very close attempt by kind like Leipzig and Dortmund. And these 2, (or some others in the past) despite still bottlejob, they still have very big chances to win the title. That's why we see Bayern still have to try so hard to protect their position. While looking at ligue1, i see no other team could ever apply any constant pressure on PSG years after years, they always jazzing to the title almost every year.
    And of course we have to mention that Bayern spending are no near the level of PSG, and they still archieve the same domestic dominant

Neymar also needs to go, most expensive signing in history, and he doesnt even care about the club. Hes been good in 1 of 6 seasons hes been here, its time to go!

Our spending was a bit high comparatively from 2011-13 and actually not bad at all from 2014-20 even with the two biggest transfers ever (and yes I'm aware the artificial revenue inflation helped us), but the wage bill increasing 44% from 2020 to 2022 was a huge problem that I believe put us in the bad spot we are now. It's crazy that while we're located in maybe the biggest talent hotspot in the world (the city of Paris), we have completely ignored that and sold young players to sign the next Icardi or Idrissa Gueye for millions.
    In a perfect world QSI learns their mistakes and either becomes a more passive owner or sells the club but we all know that's unrealistic. I believe this season was a step in the right direction (wage bill lowered greatly, deadwood loaned/sold), but we still need to cut costs by a lot next year, and I hope at least one of MNM is let go/sold to shift towards financial stability

    The biggest difference between Galacticos and PSG is the era in which they existed. This is an era of collective functionality, high press, building from the back as a team. It's not an era where a super team can be created by stacking up talent, as they did in the Galacticos time. And even then, it worked a lot less than expected. Galacticos era shouldn't be romantized. They failed more often than not. Stil, tactics have advanced too much to build a team on individual talent. Talent needs to click perfectly. Every team needs balance, tactical players.

    This is very good and interesting. I like your humour too. One thing you didn't seem to consider is that the first half of the season was played before the WC,when they were fresh and full of vim and vinegar. The second half is after the WC where they shot their wad. WC is horrendously intense and it's all concentrated in one month. Even I as a fan haven't got the energy to get excited about the games post-WC. I've shot my wad too. It's interesting that the players who shone at WC, Neymar (injured), Messi, Mbappe, Hakimi haven't been playing that well. They're tired. They're not robots. They should have had a longer rest period. Nowadays they seem to be recovering and their playing shows it. The main pb with PSG is that it's not a team. So they can't really compete with a well regulated team like Real or Bayern. I have to say PSG has the most impatient, bratty, ignorant, stupid, and downright nasty fans. They've managed to make themselves hated all over the world by booing Messi. Made their team the most hated and it's even seeped over to their country, France.

  • @StrikeAxl
    @StrikeAxl Год назад +5

    Ego has always been the demise of PSG and its players. Neymar leaving Barca because he didn't want to be Messi's shadow. Mbappe choosing to stay at PSG because he is getting paid more and because it's a club that will do anything to keep him happy. Even undermine managers and directive/sporting staff (probably). And having a dressing room that thinks too high of itself. Imagine if Messi had taken mbappes attitude with Luis Enriques Barca when he restricted Messi's movements to allocate Neymar and Suarez.

      It's all a part of the club's identity. You finish 6th the same season you become champions of Europe. The next season, you crash out of every competition you're playing in and the one you end up winning is the one you weren't even expected to play in to begin with. You win the league one season, finish 10th the next, then win it again the following season. One season, you're 9th whilst being managed by your most legendary player with him expecting to be sacked. A few months after sacking him, you're champions of Europe. One season later, you're world champions only for your owner to have to sell you a few weeks later cause of a freaking war.

    PSG is another example that dream teams don't work. Here in the States, when a sports team tries to sign as many high profile players as possible to win a championship, we deem them dream teams, and every single one of them failed to win a title. Why? Because having the best players doesn't equal having the best team. The best teams have good chemistry, strong cohesion, excellent coaches, good leaders, understanding owners. PSG doesn't have any of that. Something else winning teams have is an understanding that nobody is bigger than the club. PSG, seems like every star is bigger than the club.
    PSG should stop chasing stars and build the same way a lot of top clubs do. Get a good manager/coach, use your nation's deep wealth of talent to farm young talent, sign a couple stars.
    France has too much talent for the biggest French club to struggle and not even really have that many starting French players. Throughout the success of Barcelona the last couple decades, most of their players also were Spanish National team players.
