1. Winning odds for the 2020-21 season:
As can be seen from the above picture, the current Ligue 1 odds of winning are still ranked first by Paris, while Lyon, who did not even qualify for the European war last season, will become the biggest impact Paris’s most favorable contenders, after all, they are not eligible to focus on the league after the European war, so the team is more optimistic about the organization than last season’s runner-up Marseille! In addition, Monaco also came to the fourth place in the odds after the new coach Kovac took office. They will focus on the league like Lyon. It seems that Monaco's performance next season is worth looking forward to!
2. Ligue 1 team value rankings:
. As can be seen from the value rankings, Paris is still the only one in Ligue 1. The team’s value is twice that of Lyon and 7 times that of Bordeaux. The newly promoted Marance and Lorient are naturally at the bottom of the rankings, and they are more than 30 times away from the top of the list. In addition, the performances of the Nimes and Dijon teams have declined significantly in the past two seasons, and the team's value has repeatedly dropped, and the new season may fall into a relegation zone.
3. Overview of the transfers of Ligue 1 teams:
Ligue 1 teams have not been active during the transfer period as a whole this season. On the one hand, after the early termination of the league, the economic loss of the entire league can be imagined, if it is not a strong veteran. Strong teams, some teams with low incomes have little financial resources to support the new season's signings. On the other hand, although the Ligue 1 transfer window opened early, it is still difficult for players to transfer in other leagues, and the economic situation and player value of other leagues are greatly affected. Then sell the main force, so that at least the transfer income will not lose too much.
However, although the transfer market is not active, several teams have shown their determination to change! The first to bear the brunt are the two newly promoted teams. After Lance spent 10 million euros to introduce Udinese midfielder Fofana, the current transfer expenditure has reached more than 2,000 euros, while Lorient also has 13.5 million expenditures, although compared to the previous Several strong teams, their cost is not high, but considering that they are newly promoted, these signings can still show their determination to stay in Ligue 1 with all their strength! And last season's newly promoted Brest and Metz also have tens of millions of signings. This kind of approach is also necessary for the middle and lower reaches of the team!
However, teams such as Strasbourg, Dijon, Nantes, Nimes, Saint-Etienne, etc., have transfer expenses of around 5 million, and some even only one or two million. I believe these 5 teams At least three of them will linger outside the relegation zone next season.
Of course, many teams in Ligue 1 are well-known black shops. In the new season, Lille has once again become the biggest winner in the transfer market. They sent Osmeen away with a transfer fee of more than 70 million euros and another central defender Gary Buell is also in negotiations. If he is also leaving the team in the near future, Lille’s transfer income will easily exceed 100 million yuan this year. They seem to be catching up with the famous black shop Monaco on this road! Here is an interesting statistic:
After the summer window of last season in Ligue 1, the total transfer expenditure of 20 teams was 670 million Euros, the least among the five major leagues, while the total transfer income was 8.3 100 million euros. This also makes Ligue 1 the only profitable league in the summer window last year. The net income of 160 million euros is particularly conspicuous compared to other leagues. It is important to know that the net income of the Premier League after the summer window last year was -730 million euros. More than 7 billion.
And so far this season, although the Ligue 1 transfer period has not yet ended, the real drama may be yet to come.However, the total transfer expenditure of each team is only 270 million euros, and the transfer income is only 170 million euros. Although there is still a loss of 100 million, it is not surprising that after the summer window, Ligue 1 will still be the net of the top five leagues. The highest income existence.
It can also be seen that the current nature of many teams in Ligue 1 is that they rely on selling players to maintain profitability. This also reflects the reason why Ligue 1 has declined in strength and gradually separated from the five major leagues.
4. Which teams have changed coaches?
Bordeaux: Jean-Louis? Gasset took office
On August 11, Bordeaux officially announced that it would be with coach Paul? Souza terminates the contract and appoints Jean-Louis? Gassett is the new coach, and the two sides signed a two-year contract. Former Saint-Etienne coach Gasset served as an assistant coach in Paris, the Spaniard and the French national team. When Bordeaux won the Ligue 1 championship in the 2008-09 season, Gasset was an assistant to the then coach Blanco.
Monaco: Former Bayern coach Kovacs takes office
Beijing time on July 20th, Monaco officially announced that former Bayern coach Kovacs will be the head coach of the team. The two sides have signed a three-year contract. Kovacs clearly stated in an interview that Monaco’s The goal of the new season is to get to the top of the standings and get tickets to the European war! In addition, it is reported that Kovac has decided to make major changes to the team's lineup. As many as 10 players need to be cleaned. Among them, Fabregas and Jovic with the highest salary are also on the list. In addition, the team will Boldly employing young people, Real Madrid striker Jovic and Schalke 04 young midfielder McKenney are Kovac’s current signing targets.
5. Which teams are severely affected by the epidemic?
Marseille:
Ligue 1 officials just announced just a few days ago that due to the impact of the epidemic, the opening match of Marseille against Saint-Etienne will be postponed. It is reported that at least 4 people in the Marseille team have tested positive, although the players are physically. The state did not affect much, but for everyone's health, Ligue 1 postponed the game.
Montpellier:
According to "Team Daily" reports, Montpellier striker Delors has contracted new crown pneumonia. This is already the seventh confirmed player in the Montpellier team. The other six are Sambia, Oyongo, Morley, Ristic, Tamas and Vargas. This means that not only the friendly matches of the team are affected, but the state of the players after recovery cannot be guaranteed.
Nantes:
According to the French media ouest-france, Ligue 1 Nantes captain Toure tested positive for new crown pneumonia. He is the seventh player on the team to be diagnosed with the new crown virus. Previously, six players including Koko, Muani, Petrić, Castretto, Ludovic-Blas and Abed had been infected with the new crown virus.
Strasbourg:
At the beginning of August, Strasbourg officially announced that there were five cases of positive nucleic acid tests in the team. Subsequently, the team was forced to cancel many friendly matches. For this new season, the strength of the ball was not strong. As far as the team is concerned, it can be described as worse, and the team's state will obviously be affected.
6. The strength of the Ligue 1 teams in the 2020-21 season:
Defending champion: Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain is still the biggest favorite of the championship, there is no doubt about this! At present, the team has almost confirmed Neymar’s stay, and Icardi’s official joining has made the team’s attack line stronger. At present, they are working together in the Champions League. If they win the Champions League, it will be huge for the history of Paris. Glory, and these honours will become the source of strength for this Ligue 1 ace team to impact next season!
However, the team has let go of many veterans during the transfer period this season. Cavani has left the team. Thiago Silva has only renewed his contract until the end of the Champions League. It will be a matter of time to leave. The team has raised two from the U19. Young players Pombele and Muyinga, of course, maybe the team will have some transfer operations in the future. The defense needs to introduce experienced central defenders to strengthen, but the team is indeed younger this season and the road to defending More young teenagers will still take responsibility.
Championship teams: Lyon, Marseille
Lyon is aiming for revenge in the new season. The team did not even qualify for the European game last season. Most of the players leaving the team this season are among young players. The main force has not been lost, and they do not need to be distracted by the European game. They can concentrate on moving towards the big game. Paris launched the most violent shock. Although Marseille didn't have a lot of signings, the new coach Boas did a good job last season. Keeping the lineup complete and stable to the maximum may be the key to the team's further progress!
European teams: Lille, Rennes, Nice, Montpellier, Monaco
The most interesting of these teams are Lille and Monaco. Whether Lille can make an impact after sending forward and defending the main force Champions League? The fans are very concerned about how much Monaco can rebound after Kovac takes office! Rennes has a stable lineup, and Kamawenga has not fallen in strength after staying in the team. He can still at least enter the Europa League next season.
It is worth noting that Nice has continued to experiment with the rejuvenation of the lineup after changing the new boss. The team has signed up to 6 people, and the lineup has changed a lot. Montpellier has made targeted supplements. After being strong, hitting the European war is also the only goal.
Mid-range teams: Reims, Angers, Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, Nantes, Strasbourg
Reims has step by step after the upgrade. The team is still strengthening this season and looks ambitious. , And Saint-Etienne and Angers will also show strong rebound ability, especially Saint-Etienne, the 17th place last season has sounded the alarm for them!
Bordeaux’s summer window is still selling, which makes fans wonder whether the team still has the determination to return to the top of the rankings. Although the team’s youth training will be supplemented, the loss of main players will inevitably lead to a decline in strength. Bordeaux in the season should not have too much hope.
Nantes and Strasbourg have basically maintained the stability of the lineup. The goal of the team in the new season is to keep the ranking of last season, but the team is currently affected by the epidemic, and preparations for the new season are difficult to continue. If If the start of the season cannot guarantee the momentum of scoring points, we can only pray that the future will be strengthened.
Relegation teams: Brest, Metz, Dijon, Nimes, Lens (promoted), Lorient (promoted)
The two newly promoted teams are bound to receive greater attention in the new season, but Lens and Lorient last season The performance in Ligue 2 is obvious to all, and the teams are also strong teams in the country. There should be a great chance to stay in Ligue 1! After Metz and Brest have experienced the summer window reinforcement, if they can win the matchup with the "new" newly promoted in the new season, staying in Ligue 1 does not seem to be a problem.
The most worrying thing is Nimes and Dijon. Nimes is not strong, but he chose to sell his players to build a new stadium. Now the team's strength has been declining again and again. It seems that the management does not want to stay in Ligue 1. Dijon is in In the past two seasons, they have been hovering outside the relegation zone. The signings have not improved this season. They may also go to France B next year, but if they can learn from their previous relegation experience, there may be a chance.
