Ligue 1 16/17 discussion

----------------------------------------


There's 10k people only since it's held in Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, Austria.  Why the *bleep* would you have the game there????

Surprised 10k people watch Ligue 1 tbh.

[sportsczy]

And the referee is Austrian and they just missed a massive call.... idiots.

PSG v Lyon is sold out months in advance in France.  No reason to have it anywhere else.  Granted, the supercup also sold out in China and in Montreal the past 2 years.  But in the middle of nowhere in Austria?

[Firenze]

that does seem pretty odd for a location lol

[Hapless_Hans]

what the hell? The supercup? Klagenfurt?

[CBarca]

I love when sports tries to make Ligue 1 relevant

[sportsczy]

I just thought having a Ligue 1 supercup in Klagenfurt was interesting

[RealGunner]

Was it due to security issues by any chance?

Ligue 1 moving to Austria.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Austria is a nice place tbf.

True

[RealGunner]

PSG 3-0 lyon around 35 mins lmao

And people said Lyon might be able to challenge PSG.

[sportsczy]

PSG look much better tactically..... much.

[Casciavit]

What is the likely PSG starting lineup for this season?

[sportsczy]

no idea. Playing a 4231 so it's hard to tell. But the best I think would be:

Trapp
Aurier-Marquinhos-Silva-Kurzawa
Krycho-Motta
Lucas-Verratti-Di Maria
Cavani

But that leaves Meunier, Matuidi, Areola, Luiz, Maxwell, Pastore, Ben Arfa, etc. on the bench.

I think it might be one big rotation. That's what it looks like early on. All sorts of combos.

[Cruijf]

Motta's gonna start? Why not play Verratti in the double pivot and Pastore as a 10?

[sportsczy]

Pastore isn't consistent enough... Motta, on the other hand, really knows what he doing back there and Verratti wouldn't really be a 10... more an advanced CM. Kurzawa and Aurier bring a lot to the attack and Di Maria/Lucas or Pastore/Cavani are plenty on the attack.

Will be interesting to see how Jese fits in. The press conference has been called by PSG for Monday to announce him.

They don't want to give us David Alaba though

[Lord Awesome]

Pastore will earn his spot. Emery will make him work in the squad.
Ben Arfa, Di Maria, Lucas, Cavani, Veratti, & Matuidi allow for a fast pace game. I'm suspecting Emery will find a way to exploit that.

[RealGunner]

PSG starts the season with a 1-0 win away to Bastia. Kurzawa the scorer

[Rev]

Good cameo from Lucas. Psg still looking like work in progress, especially offensively they looked short of ideas
