Despite the persistence of good weather, it would be time to tell ourselves that the summer has passed and that Ligue 1, even if it does not have the charms and finery of a Final 8 of the Champions League, has resumed his rights.
It would be time to say to yourself that you have to finally play football, rather than push yourself away from where I am, or the game of fags behind your head.
It is time to tell ourselves that the Covid-19, the calendar or the arbitration are not the mother of all evils.
And since its 1st day of L 1 takes place incongruously between the 3rd and the 4th, it would be time for PSG to finally launch its championship and to renew with the success and the goals that have been eluding it for 3 meetings.
It's not nothing 3 consecutive defeats for a club which has learned to stack successes since 2011 and its takeover by Qatar.
It has nothing to do with the late November crisis, but such a chain can still leave traces.
Annoyed Tuchel
He apparently left some with Thomas Tuchel who was very annoyed this Tuesday by questions from the media on the level of his team, on the eve of welcoming Metz to the Parc des Princes.
Unless the electricity of the clasico has spread to the camp of the Lodges.
When we talk to him about offensive impotence with the combined absences of Mbappé (Covid-19) and Neymar (suspended), the German coach answers “controversy”.
“These are not the only two that were missing against Lens (
Editor's note: 0-1 defeat
), there were 7 players less, We cannot analyze the match like that.
It's only controversy, ”plague the former technician from Dortmund.
We then look at Marseille and the content of the meeting.
Here again the response bursts "We look at the performance, you prefer to watch the result", pings Tuchel who notes the "extraordinary statistics" of his players and evokes "complete domination" poorly paid in return.
"We are a very emotional group"
In an attempt to ward off fate and mitigate the negative effects of a historic defeat against the hated rival, the German coach is betting on dialogue.
“We spoke yesterday (
Editor's note: Leonardo would even have invited himself to the Camp des Loges
), we will talk again, explained the Parisian coach.
We are not used to starting with two losses, we are in an atypical phase.
But I'm happy with the way we play and train.
We are a very emotional group, it is our strength but we must also manage it.
"
Neymar, here during PSG-OM on Sunday, is suspended.

In fact, PSG will pay this Wednesday evening for the inconsistencies of its end of the match against OM with three players automatically suspended (Neymar, Paredes, Kurzawa), to which must be added Mbappé positive for coronavirus, Florenzi not qualified and Kehrer uncertain .
You obtain a champion of France still diminished and close to falling into a real crisis - not simply "a crisis of results" dixit Tuchel - in the event of a new underperformance.
Fortunately the promoted Messin does not present the same arguments as the Olympique de Marseille.
And, a priori, he does not have in his workforce an Alvaro Gonzalez.
