Leonardo, the sports director of Paris SG, intervened after the victory of Paris SG against Lyon at the Parc des Princes this Sunday (4-2) to denounce the "negativity" around the Parisian club a few days before the shock of the Champions League facing Dortmund. . “There is always the knockout stage of the Champions League which arrives and it is always the same process . I want to understand why. The team is first with 12 points ahead in the league and we made almost the maximum points in the Champions League. We have an incredible workforce and there is this concern about the knockout stages of the Champions League. We don't play life and death against Borussia Dortmund, we play a football match. If we win, that's good, and if we don't win, we will continue to play and grow. We are calm and we must be. I'm just saying that we're starting to create negativity (around the club, note). We have to get out of this, ”said the Brazilian leader.
The former international also wanted to protect Kylian Mbappé after the controversy over his disagreement with Thomas Tuchel during the meeting against Montpellier. The Brazilian considers that the three-color striker has been attacked "on a personal level". "It embarrasses me to hear that he was a spoiled child. He is a lovely person and a fantastic player, ”said the manager.
