Danilo Pereira says he is "at ease" in central defense.

Good for him.

Because against Dijon (4-0), last Saturday, it was not just an experience without a future.

Thomas Tuchel wants to see the 29-year-old Portuguese international behind.

And especially to use Marquinhos in the midfield in fact… “It was a decision for the team, not against someone or against Danilo, it was for the team, details the German coach.

I thought about it a lot.

I really like what Marqui did for us in the middle.

That's my opinion: it's more important that he's in the middle because he can help everyone.

Tomorrow (this Wednesday against Istanbul Basaksehir), he will play in the middle to help us win this match. ”

Like that, it's clear.

"If the coach puts it there, he has his reasons, they must be respected"

Presnel Kimpembe on Danilo Pereira

It remains to be seen if Danilo will enjoy this position he has hardly occupied with the Dragons.

You have to go back to his Dutch years to see him there more regularly.

It dates ... Undisputed holder behind, Presnel Kimpembe is the first concerned by these changes orchestrated by Tuchel.

“Danilo on defense?

This is not a problem for him, he has played in this position in the past, recalls the 25-year-old world champion.

If the coach puts it there, he has his reasons, they must be respected.

I will help him as best I can but he is ready for this kind of match, he is the former Porto captain.

It will be up to the coach to decide, we will respect his choice. "

The choice has already been made.

Even if Thilo Kehrer, a priori operational and in any case present in the group, is the other possible alternative.

Abdou Diallo?

No sane coach has two left-handers play together in a central hinge.

Unless you have to, as was the case for Thomas Tuchel against Manchester United (1-2), eight days ago.

He is very strong in the head, in aerial duels, it is important for us, argues Tuchel about Danilo, on

RMC

.

"Kim" has a lot of experience and that gives him more confidence.

And he has it all: he is confident with the ball and in today's game the game with the ball starts with center-backs and even goalkeepers.

He's confident about it.

Now he has to adjust to defensive details.

But for me, it's good for him if the game is in front of him and he doesn't have to protect spaces in the back.

I hope he will continue with confidence, with the same "spirit" as against Dijon. "

The level of opposition will also be a bit higher, even if the Istanbul club is coughing.  

It will therefore be a first real big test for Danilo Pereira in this position, the details of which he must relearn.

Until eventually Nantes, then Leipzig and Rennes from here to the international break.

There, he will be able to find the midfielder, with… the Portuguese selection.

One thing is certain: for Kimpembe, no risk of being wrong.

The international tricolor has been in great shape for many weeks.

Kimpembe, safe bet

Didier Deschamps says it.

Thomas Tuchel too.

And it is enough simply to see it evolve, with confidence and serenity, regularity also and above all.

"Clicks, there were a lot in my young career," he notes.

There was Manchester, the fact that I played injured almost an entire season and after the World Cup.

I worked a lot to get up.

It was hard, but you have to go through it to raise your head. "

It is now very high.

She should be turned regularly to the right to support her new partner, Danilo Pereira as much as possible.
