Auxerre, Angers and St Etienne are newcomers in the Ligue 1 this season. None of them is stranger to this league of course. It is nice to see St Etienne back especially after some years.

Do you think all of these teams would relegate right after? Seeing the way Auxerre played last season, I expect bigger things from them.

Like playing for top 10. There are many teams coming from the second league and doing pretty nice things in their first season already. Auxerre have had great scoring potential. I think they are good enough to upset a good amount of teams in the Ligue 1.

Congratulations to the new clubs but they are well aware that they will be competing with some of the best clubs. The fundamental problem these newly promoted clubs usually have is funding to get enough quality players. When players are injured or face suspension, the lack of quality players will begin to affect the performance of the club. Reaching the top ten position will be a great achievement and exceeding it will be an extraordinary one. But in some cases, these clubs usually go back to relegation.

Now he can do anything including finding the right players in order to realize his plans for next season well because although for Ligue 1 I still have no doubt about PSG next season but of course the benchmark is how they perform in the Champions League. If there is a difference in performance and even tends to decline, it will be a little inconvenient for them because the stigma that PSG cannot develop without Mbappe will still occur and Enrique's task for next season is to eliminate that stigma and replace it with that without Mbappe they can survive well.

The main focus of the club now is to sign a replacement for the departed Kylian Mbappé. They might not get a single replacement, maybe they should gamble with two or three strikers and see the one that can wear his shoes. Maybe Luis Enrique is waiting for the UEFA European Football Championship to come to an end before they would intensively search for suitable strikers. This is because many players will determine their future after the competition since they are committed to current games. The club might just be lucky to get a player who can grow with the club to become a world-class striker. We have seen coaches building average players to greater heights.
