ANALYSIS
La Ligue 1 This course is presented as a struggle between the two Hillbillies, PSG and Monaco. Both clubs run by billionaires from different sources (Qataris and Russian) They have pulled out all the window spending 250 de los 290 million invested by 20 equipment. El PSG, last year's champion Carlo Ancelotti has lost but in return will have to Blanc as a replacement and a fearsome front formed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani of new signing, which has cost 63 millions. Besides, will have Lucas Digne, the largest national investment 15 million that Pastore will join the company and. With a solid structure and, they are the big favorites ahead of newly promoted Monaco will look to consolidate more than. And is that Radamel Falcao, Abidal, James Rodríguez, Joao Moutinho or Toulalan enough names seem to think not fight for a title.
Por detrás de ellos, the situation is more equal. Marseille and Lyon seem to be the most reliable alternatives always considering speaking of France and therefore of extreme equality in many aspirants. The Marseillais have signed long and well. Payet and Inbula must take a leap forward to the team, while the latter are always such a strong team and as demonstrated in their recent friendly with Real Madrid all this despite not being able to pull talonario this season.
Bordeaux, Sochaux (most seasons the club has been in the elite division of the first gala), Reims stadium, Toulouse and Montpellier will be other teams that give color to an increasingly more exciting league and impact beyond its borders.
