Andy Delort sort la sulfateuse contre le trio Messi-Neymar-Mbappé

Andy Delort a récemment décrypté l'ancien trio "Messi-Neymar-Mbappé" du PSG et n'a pas mâché ses mots envers les joueurs, ça pique les yeux ! Andy Delort, une nouvelle carrière Ancien joueur emblématique de la Ligue 1, ayant porté les couleurs de clubs tels que Toulouse, Nice, Montpellier et Nantes, Andy Delort est aujourd'hui consultant pour l'émission "Rothen s'enflamme" sur RMC. Sa transition vers le Qatar, où il a rejoint le club d'Umm Salal et inscrit un but, ne l'a pas éloigné de sa passion pour le championnat français. Il garde un œil avisé sur les évolutions, notamment celles du Paris Saint-Germain. Le recrutement du PSG : une approbation de Delort Delort n'a pas manqué de saluer la stratégie de recrutement du PSG. Selon lui, le club de la capitale a fait preuve d'intelligence en optant pour des joueurs ayant une nouvelle mentalité, axée sur le collectif. Cette vision renouvelée du jeu contraste avec certaines époques précédentes du club parisien. Voir aussi : - Griezmann vers le PSG : Les révélations de Fabrizio Romano ! Le trio "Messi-Neymar-Mbappé" sous le feu des critiques Ayant eu l'occasion d'affronter le redoutable trio d'attaque Messi-Neymar-Mbappé, Delort a une perspective unique sur leurs performances. Si leur talent offensif est indiscutable, il pointe du doigt un manque d'équilibre défensif.

Delort prévoit une saison flamboyante pour le jeune prodige français, qui pourrait porter le PSG vers de nouveaux sommets. Un PSG rééquilibré et tourné vers l'avenir Selon Delort, le PSG actuel présente un visage plus équilibré. Cette transformation est le fruit d'un recrutement judicieux, mettant l'accent sur une mentalité plus collective. Et les rumeurs vont bon train : le PSG pourrait prochainement jeter son dévolu sur Randal Kolo Muani, une nouvelle pépite du football français.

Lille trace unlikely path towards French title

Paris (AFP) – Paris Saint-Germain have claimed statement wins in Barcelona and Munich in the Champions League while leaving the door unlocked at home, giving Lille the chance of a first Ligue 1 title in a decade.

Lille stunned PSG in the capital last weekend, winning 1-0 to go three points clear of the reigning champions with seven matches remaining.

PSG have lost eight times this season, while Monaco and Lyon are also within five points of Lille. It is an unpredictable title race, and the fact only the the top three qualify for next season’s Champions League adds spice.

Lille’s operating budget is understood to be around a quarter of PSG’s, but shrewd buying and selling has taken them to where they are, along with an outstanding coach in Christophe Galtier.

After finishing second to PSG in 2019 they sold Nicolas Pepe to Arsenal for a reported 80 million euros ($87m).

In the last Ligue 1 season, curtailed due to the pandemic, they came fourth and then sold top scorer Victor Osimhen to Napoli for an initial 70 million euros.

Plenty more have left, but the knowledge of Luis Campos, a Portuguese super-scout who helped build Monaco’s title-winning team of 2017, allowed Lille to keep re-generating. 

Three starters against PSG — goalkeeper Mike Maignan, Boubakary Soumare and Jonathan Ikone — all left Paris for Lille in search of first-team football. Another ex-PSG youngster, Timothy Weah, did likewise and came off the bench for Lille in that game.

Lille have invested elsewhere though, including 27 million euros to sign Canadian striker Jonathan David from Gent — he scored the winner in Paris.

“This season, more than the last two, we have been very strong collectively despite having a bit less individual talent than the other three teams fighting for the title. Without that we wouldn’t be able to compete,” Galtier, in charge since late 2017, told AFP.

Previously successful at Saint-Etienne, Galtier has kept Lille on course despite off-pitch turbulence.

In December the club was sold to Callisto, a subsidiary of the Merlyn Partners investment fund. Campos departed, while a new president was appointed.

Galtier feels this season has been his “biggest challenge”.

“We need to keep going and give ourselves the best possible chance while understanding we might not end up being champions and we might not even qualify for the Champions League. The key is to have no regrets,” he said.

The 54-year-old, once the assistant manager at Portsmouth, could go at the season’s end too and has been linked with Lyon and Nice.

However, he says he is entirely focused on delivering success to Lille, who face Metz this weekend.

“I am really happy here, but I don’t think I will stay for seven or eight years like I did at Saint-Etienne.”

Could he return to England?

“Four or five years ago I wanted to go abroad, less so now. If I did, I have always said the English league would be the dream. Their league has become the best in the world. There is so much passion!”

Player to watch: Kevin Volland

Volland has been a revelation for Monaco since signing from Bayer Leverkusen, and you have to wonder why Joachim Loew continues to leave him in the wilderness from the Germany team.

The 28-year-old, last capped by his country in 2016, is one of the main reasons Monaco are title contenders, having scored 14 Ligue 1 goals. Monaco have lost just once in 16 games.

Key stats

10 – Lille are unbeaten in their last 10 away Ligue 1 games.

3 – PSG have lost their last three league games immediately following a Champions League fixture

11 – Bottom side Dijon have lost their last 11 Ligue 1 games. One more will see them equal the French top-flight record of 12 in a row set by CA Paris in 1933/34.

Coupe de France : Côtes et conseils paris de ce week-end !

La Coupe de France reprend ses droits à partir de ce soir avec l'entrée en lice du PSG. Nous vous proposons les conseils paris et les côtes des principaux matchs des pensionnaires de Ligue 1. Nantes a remporté la dernière édition après avoir battu Nice en finale. C'est la quatrième fois de leur histoire que les Canaris remportent cette coupe. Le champion en titre sera à nouveau en course en 2023 pour tenter de conserver son titre. Nantes devra faire face à des concurrents de taille s'il veut être sacré champion de la Coupe de France pour la cinquième fois. Coupe de France : Châteauroux vs PSG Ce soir, 21h00 Conseil de pari : plus de 2.5 buts Cotes : 1.27 Le PSG est grand favori pour remporter ce match par une large différence de buts. Il n'est plus à rappeler qu'ils sont comme chaque année le plus sérieux candidat pour le titre en Coupe de France. Les Parisiens ont marqué plus de 2,5 buts lors de ses huit derniers matchs, toutes compétitions confondues. Ils ont soit marqué, soit encaissé un but lors de six de leurs huit derniers matchs. Châteauroux a également marqué plus de trois buts lors de trois de ses quatre derniers matchs. Nous nous attendons à une avalanche de buts dans cette rencontre. Le spectacle sera au rendez-vous. Il est à noter que Christophe Galtier n'envisage pas d'aligner son trio magique Mbappé-Messi-Neymar. Cela ne devrait pas avoir d'impact sur le rendement offensif de l'équipe. Lire aussi : Coupe de France : Dernières nouvelles et compo probable de la finale Cotes : ESA Linas-Montlhery vs Lens Demain, 15h30 Conseil de pari : plus de 3.5 buts Cotes : 1.53 Lens a affiché une forme incroyable lors de ses cinq derniers matchs. Ils restent sur quatre victoires toutes compétitions confondues sur cette période. Les Lensois ont dernièrement battu le PSG, leader du championnat, lors de leur dernier match de Ligue 1. Quatre de leurs matchs précédents ont produit trois buts ou plus, tandis que les matchs précédents de l'ESA Linas-Montlhery ont produit deux buts chacun lors de leurs cinq derniers matchs toutes compétitions confondues. Ici encore, les attaquants seront à la fête, on s'attendra à voir beaucoup de buts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJqR1C8cY9k Coupe de France : Lyon vs Metz Demain, 15h30 Conseil de pari : Victoire de Lyon Cotes : 1.28 Les cinq dernières rencontres entre les deux équipes ont été riches en rebondissement. Lyon compte trois victoires contre deux pour Metz. La forme récente de Lyon à domicile n'est pas extraordinaire. Les hommes de Laurent Blanc restent sur une seule victoire lors de ses cinq derniers matchs. En face, Metz se porte bien à l'extérieur après avoir gagné quatre de ses derniers matchs à l'extérieur en Ligue 2. Cependant, il s'agit d'une compétition de coupe et avec la qualité que Lyon possède dans ses rangs, nous nous attendons à ce que les Gones remportent ce match. Lire aussi : Quel est l'avenir de l'équipe de France après la finale perdue ? Conseil de pari : Hyères vs Marseille Demain, 15h30 Conseil de pari : plus de 3,5 buts Cotes : 1.52 Marseille est en forme ces derniers temps et a remporté quatre de ses cinq derniers matchs à l'extérieur, toutes compétitions confondues. Les hommes de Tudor ont marqué trois buts ou plus lors de deux de leurs quatre dernières rencontres. Hyères connait une période plus compliquée en ce moment. Pourtant, ils ont marqué au moins deux buts lors de quatre de leurs cinq derniers matchs, toutes compétitions confondues. Marseille devrait gagner le match.
