Each year, there is a matter of discussion. And for this edition, it is undoubtedly on the side of Marseille that we will react after the announcement of the names for the UNFP trophies.
While the Phocaeans are second in Ligue 1, they have only one representative in the four main categories. The best player trophy will undoubtedly be played on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, the big favorite being Ousmane Dembélé. The other finalists are desired Doué, Vitinha and Achraf Hakimi, as well as Lyonnais Rayan Cherki. The players of Ligue 1 who voted therefore did not acclaim a Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg or a Greenwood Mason.
Afterwards ? For the title of best hope, desired Doué, appointed for the title of best player, leaves with the favors of the predictions. He will compete with Joao Neves (PSG), Andrey Santos (Strasbourg), Ayyoub Bouaddi (Lille) and Eliesse Ben Seghir (Monaco). A Parisian could therefore still succeed Warren Zaïre-Emery and Nuno Mendes.
Of Zerbi shunned by his peers
And for the title of best coach? No Roberto de Zerbi in the names! While Luis Enrique (PSG) seemed essential, Ligue 1 coaches voted rather for Liam Rosenior (Strasbourg), Eric Roy (Brest), Bruno Genesio (Lille) and Adi Hütter (Monaco).
It is on the side of the guards that we find a Marseillais among the nominees, in this case the excellent Geronimo Rulli. Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) is a candidate for his own succession, even if it will also be necessary to count on Lucas Chevalier (Lille), Lucas Perri (Lyon) and Djordje Petrovic (Strasbourg). Answer on Sunday May 11, during the evening of the UNFP trophies organized in Paris at the Gabriel pavilion.
