Reims-PSG: "With Kylian and Ney, everything is easier", says Thomas Tuchel

2020-09-26T13:02:44.178Z


The trip to Reims will be marked by the return of suspension of Diallo, Paredes and especially Neymar who will be associated with Kylian Mbappé on Sunday


One week after the success obtained in Nice (0-3), PSG moves to Reims this Sunday on the occasion of the 5th day of Ligue 1. A short trip for which Thomas Tuchel will be able, for the first time this season , count on his four offensive assets, Mbappé, Di Maria, Icardi and Neymar, back from suspension, like Leandro Paredes and Abdou Diallo.

For the first time since the start of the season, the Mbappé - Icardi - Di Maria - Neymar quartet is available.

Will he start and what do you expect from the last three?

THOMAS TUCHEL.

I have the feeling that we had a quality week with a good attitude from everyone.

This is the first week in a long time that we have had the opportunity to work together.

We did it with a smile, in a good state of mind.

It's time to continue tomorrow.

I have not yet decided if we will play 4-4-2 or if we change the pattern.

I will decide this evening or tomorrow morning at the last moment.

Kehrer and Kurzawa are missing.

We have to decide for Gueye who has trained but still feels something.

The others, it may be Kylian, Mauro or Ney, we can not forget that they had the coronavirus.

It's not easy, they missed a lot of training.

They have the skills, but the situation is not normal.

Icardi, has not scored since the end of February.

Is he in a crisis of confidence?

All the scorers are sensitive guys.

It's a very important position in a team.

Mauro is demanding, he too is waiting to score.

He is going through a difficult phase.

The only thing you can do is stay calm and work.

The last percentages of confidence that he lacks, it is not in the speeches or the exercises that he will find them, but in the fact of scoring again.

We can just create possibilities for him.

And I'm sure it will come back.

We trust him.

These are moments that happen, Sarabia lives the same situation.

I spoke with him so that he wouldn't lose his confidence or his smile.

And we always support them.

Neymar and Mbappé will be able to be aligned for the first time this season.

What does this change for you?

Everything becomes easier!

It's more difficult for the opponent to defend, easier for us to attack, it opens up spaces.

We have already found solutions without both in important games.

But is it the best thing to play without them?

No !

We want to play with both because both are there to make a difference.

They will start together, that's for sure.

Di Maria has been suspended for four games.

You, who said you did not understand its convocation by the disciplinary committee, what do you think of its sanction?

I can understand her.

He had a reaction that we don't like.

But I note that the cumulative amount of our suspensions reached 14 maths and the other team 4 games.

There is a big difference and that… (I cannot), I cannot understand it, even if I have to accept it.

All the guys who were involved had a bad reaction.

But I remain convinced that we are not the only ones at fault.

However, we have the impression that we are the only ones responsible for this situation.

It gives me a bad feeling.

Verratti may become the fourth most capped player in PSG history on Sunday.

Do you see him as a leader and a vice-captain of Marquinhos?

Yes, but he doesn't have enough musculature for the armband (laughs).

He's an incredible player.

Every day he is there, his state of mind remains the same, he gives everything on the pitch.

He has a great mentality and great qualities, the mix of all that is incredible.

I like to be his trainer.

He did not wear the armband often.

But it is not necessary to give it to him.

He is there to help, to give a good atmosphere, to give the balls, he will always let the other score… He does not need to wear the armband to be a leader.

What do you think of Florenzi's adaptation?

We are very happy and satisfied.

It's not easy to change clubs and cities like he did.

But he showed very impressive adaptability and intelligence on the pitch.

He's a very reliable guy and happy to be on the pitch.

He was totally accepted by the group from the first minutes.

I hope it will continue like this.

Goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier has signed up with you.

Does that mean Bulka and Innocent are going to leave?

Alexandre is now with us.

We want Bulka to extend, but to have playing time. That means he plays for another club a full season, not just one game here and there.

I think we'll find a solution for him.

The same goes for Garissonne.

If he finds a club he is free to change.

We talked about interests for Rudiger and Bakayoko.

What do you like about these players?

Regarding the transfer window, I cannot speak of names.

We have to respect other clubs.

I can only say that the club knows my opinion, my analysis of the situation.

Now we wait.

The transfer window is not over, but the situation is not easy with the coronavirus.

But we still have time.

Can we know the opinion you shared with the club on the transfer window?

The keys to good internal communication is that it stays internal (laughs). It will stay between us.
