Present at a press conference, the Parisian midfielder wishes to see his team reiterate, Wednesday evening, the performance achieved at O


“We have already lost two games.

We have no right to miss a third ”.

Marco Verratti delivered the messages on Tuesday as clearly as he distributes the balls in the middle of the field.

The Italian, who defends his coach subjected to criticism, believes that PSG are aware of the errors to be corrected in order to win this Wednesday night at Manchester United.

Do you share the point of view of the coach, who explained after the meeting against Leipzig that the workforce could not do better physically?

MARCO VERRATTI.

I think we can always do better.

We always have to look for the optimal thing.

In today's football, it's hard to come by.

For all teams, not just for us.

We must forget the past.

We have a great game tomorrow.

There are no excuses to be had.

You have to give everything.

You have to think about this great team, look for this victory and have a perfect organization, on an individual level.

Only like that, we can win.

What do you think of Thomas Tuchel?

What are your relations with him?

All coaches are different.

I had great years with Laurent Blanc, with Carlo Ancelotti.

He brought us to the Champions League final.

He created a very strong group.

There was not much missing for the Champions League.

We won everything in France.

He is young, he has ideas.

He behaves well with us.

We get along well.

Managing 30 players… It's never easy for all coaches.

I've known some who had a hard time dealing with it.

The supporters were proud of us last year.

This year, we started badly but we know what we need to do better.

We have to show our capabilities tomorrow.

How to draw inspiration from the victory acquired here in February 2019?

We had a very good game.

We had the game under control. We knew when to accelerate, when to lower the pace.

This is the key.

You have to play with the ball, without fear.

We meet a great team with magnificent players.

You have to give 150%, try to control this game and win it.

You had a meeting with the group and Thomas Tuchel on Sunday.

What did the coach tell you?

It must stay between us.

We share things with the coach every day.

He is the one who knows us best.

I see that outside it is easy to talk.

I see the criticism towards the coach or the players.

But we have discussions between us which must remain between us.

We know when we play well, when we play badly.

We are the first to know.

We talked about this and I hope we will put it into practice tomorrow.

What dangers have you identified in Manchester?

The team has proven its organization at the Parc des Princes.

The players go very fast.

In front, Marcus Rashford, still a little young, shows a lot of things.

It's a very good team.

I love Paul Pogba.

I hope he won't start (

).

Rashford, Martial, Bruno Fernandes… There are only strong players.

You should not focus on a player.
