Nice-PSG: "It's a phase where we suffer," said Thomas Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel was a happy coach after the victory of PSG in Nice (3-0) this Sunday marked by the remarkable performance of Kylian Mbappé.

Success under control despite the many absent.

With this large victory, has PSG finally launched its season?

THOMAS TUCHEL.

We also had a good match against Marseille (0-1), except that everyone only talks about the result.

I've seen a lot of good things in the last three games but I know the context.

It's easy to say after a 3-0 success that it's launched.

It was still very hard, we have injured guys, some suspended.

They have to come back.

We always want to show our qualities, we will improve.

It was a good game but we can't forget that Nice had some great chances.

We gave them those opportunities so we're happy Navas was exceptional.

Were you surprised by Mbappé's match who had hardly practiced with the group?

Not surprised but it's impressive what he did.

Kylian had a very, very good game, he showed that he can always make a difference with his speed, his acceleration, his confidence and his hunger to score.

Di Maria played three consecutive matches in seven players after the Covid with only one training with the team.

Normally we can't do it, but we did.

He did amazing stuff.

But I saw the efforts of the whole team.

It is a deserved victory but not easy.

Navas had a great game.

It gives a good feeling and we now have a week to prepare for the next match.

Mbappé played more to the left to transplant towards the goal.

Is this his best job?

His best job is when he's close to Neymar.

But if we don't have Ney, we have to find something else.

I prefer that Kylian not play with his back to goal.

I prefer it more open with a second attacker.

It doesn't change much for him when you go from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3.

He likes this post to the left of the attack.

Idrissa Gueye came out injured in the left ankle.

What are the news ?

It's only a small injury, he took a hit.

We don't think it's serious.

You played four games in eleven days.

When do you think you will find a group at the top physically?

Tomorrow, we will do some recycling and then they will have a free day.

They need more.

We start again on Wednesday.

I will wait for the individual statistics to do the work planning.

We will continue the recovery on Wednesday for players who are overused at the moment.

We have a little time to prepare for the next match, to train and gain capacity.

It's a phase where we suffer, we are really tired after the games.

If you win and you're tired it's important, it's a good feeling.

This shows that we have not lost our state of mind, to suffer and to work together.
