The defeat of PSG, the critics, his contract ... Tuchel's development

The group against Dijon

 : “We hope that Marquinhos and Julian Draxler will pass the last tests today.

They were on the bench on Tuesday but couldn't play.

We tried to scare the opponent with the names, but it didn't go too well (smile).

Otherwise, Marco Verratti, Leo Paredes, Mauro Icardi, Thilo Kehrer, Idrissa Gueye are still unavailable and Angel Di Maria and Layvin Kurzawa, suspended.

Keylor Navas is very uncertain.

Alessandro Florenzi too, due to dental problems.

(…) I don't think they will be training today.

There are also doubts for Jesé.

(…) Aligning young people?

It's difficult to answer because it's not a gift to play for PSG.

We must really deserve it.

At the same time, for this match, I think we should think about leaving Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe on the bench.

They have played too much with the national team, too many trips, too many matches.

It's a risk, I don't know if we'll take any.

We will see.

There is an important training.

They are a fairly strong team in the offensive transitions, which play with quick attacks.

Now is not the time to take risks.

We are responsible and we discuss with the doctors, physiotherapists and of course the players. ”

Feedback on MU 

: “We spoke with the players, between us.

We clearly lacked energy in the first half.

We had a second period with more energy and intensity, but we lacked structure and discipline.

It was a more open game.

But we had possibilities to draw or win.

We lost, because of a few circumstances… We spoke very honestly with the players, as always.

We are very critical of us.

Now is the day to prepare for a Ligue 1 match. " 

Discussions after MU 

: "We must say that we always discuss after matches, we give our opinion, analyze tactically, mentally, our mentality.

It's a normal process.

Losing, on the other hand, is not normal.

We're not used to it and we hate losing.

I don't want it to become a habit, it's serious to lose when you're at PSG.

But we always showed a reaction.

And it will be an even modified team tomorrow.

The goal is to stay positive and push this team.

It's a Ligue 1 game. Everyone expects an easy 6-0, but you can't think so.

It is not easy now.

I'm sure we'll show a reaction, the team always did.

We will find a team today for tomorrow and we will push it.

We had won five serious matches before, we lost one and we didn't show our true face.

We are not going to accept it, but we will continue. "

"If we had won, do you think we would party for three days?"

No, we continue, we must think of Dijon "

Critics

: “It's normal.

This is my experience since my arrival.

Since the defeat against MU (in 2019, editor's note), I know it's my responsibility if we lose.

I can live with it.

That's why I don't read anything, I don't google my name.

I know how hard it is.

It's OK.

I don't expect anything else.

I can imagine what's going on outside.

I can rely on myself, my staff, everyone at Camp des Loges and my relationship with the team.

I hope that we will produce results, it is necessary. ”

Changes

 : “No.

We work honestly, hard, hard.

It is not necessary to change.

We always adapt, every day.

It's not that we have a style (of management).

We change the style with the team, every season, every week.

We do what we need.

You may need to be tough, to protect the players, to be positive or to put pressure.

We always adapt, after each match. "

The atmosphere in the club after MU 

: “In the club?

I do not know.

For me, the club is here at Camp des Loges.

We are together.

It's never easy to digest defeat.

We don't want to accept.

But it's not possible to find people who are more affected than us.

We are the most critical, the most honest and the most disappointed.

Then we talk about Manchester again and again.

But the reality is that I have training today to prepare for a Ligue 1 match. It gives the atmosphere in which we work.

My head is turned towards Dijon.

This press conference is geared towards MU.

In my head, it's already over.

This is the context in football and here in Paris.

It's not a problem but I just want to explain that we have a different vision of management after a defeat or a victory.

We must forget.

If we had won, do you think we would party for three days?

No, we continue, we must think of Dijon.

But we are talking about Manchester after Manchester, before Dijon and probably also after. "

“The situation is clear: I have a contract.

For me, it doesn't change anything in my work.

The virus creates a lot of insecurity in the world.

It is not easy to predict, for anyone… ”

His contract ending

: “The situation is clear: I have a contract.

For me, it doesn't change anything in my work.

The virus creates a lot of insecurity in the world.

It is not easy to predict, for anyone ... But it is not possible not to communicate.

If we don't talk about an extension, that's good for me, we have to accept, there is no feeling.

I do my job with my staff in the best possible way.

I will give everything to win.

I am with my team and I want to win everything.

It's clear."

Backtrack against MU, insist on defensive efforts

 : “We are doing it.

I can tell you we're doing it.

Even Tuesday morning again!

Maybe in the end we have to accept that guys are human, they are not robots.

We have to accept that we were playing against a strong team, which has almost the same market value.

You have to accept that it's like that in football.

You can have a bad day.

There are plenty of reasons.

I take responsibility, no problem.

We don't want to get used to defeat, it hurts.

But at the same time we will push everyone.

We must accept that there are several reasons.

It is my responsibility and it is good.

We're never going to stop pushing this team.

The team on the pitch must give everything.

We didn't feel that in the first half, that's clear, and we can honestly say it. "
