The Parisian coach spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match in Nantes (Saturday, 9 p.m.). Moise Kean and his integration: "It's very simple. The best thing about fitting into a group, into a new dressing room, and even more so for a striker, is to score.

Moise Kean and his integration

: "It's very simple.

The best thing about fitting into a group, into a new dressing room, and even more so for a striker, is to score.

He did it (4 goals in the last two matches against Dijon in Ligue 1 and Istanbul in C1, editor's note).

It helps a lot.

It's the best thing for him, everyone.

For me, the most important thing is that he continues to put in intensity, he has a physical capacity, that has a great influence on our game. He must absolutely continue like that, give physical capacity and duels against the central defenders.

He's done it so far, with and against the ball.

Now is the challenge to continue.

(...) Second striker, it is perhaps his best position.

But if we play three in front, he can occupy the three positions, on the left, on the right or in the axis. "

Moise Kean's first day at Paris Saint-Germain

"We are always taking risks at the moment" 

Thilo Kherer could have playing time in Nantes on Saturday.

Thilo Kehrer back

: “He only did one training before the match in Istanbul… We are always taking risks at the moment.

In all the clubs, there is competition.

And he represents great competition for Alessandro Florenzi on the right and Danilo Pereira, in central defense.

We need quality for all positions.

We need him with his physical capacity, his speed, his strength to win defensive duels.

He was a key player for us last season.

He was amazing.

But he has now missed a lot of matches.

I can't say where he plays but what is certain is that we need every quality player.

And so I am very happy with his return.

We have a few players who play with only one training session, it was the same with Idrissa Gueye in Turkey.

We take a little risk.

We have to manage because we have to continue because we play every three days and we therefore need all the players. ”

The accumulation of matches

: "We're going to kill the players!"

I always said it.

There is a great relationship between preparation, rest phases and performance.

In football, we always ask for the best players because they play for the national team, they have trips… For me, it's too much because we don't have a phase to really recover, nor a preparation phase. .

However, there is no secret, there is a relationship between preparation, no injury and good performance, that exists in sport.

Without preparation, all players are fragile, it is difficult to manage them.

It will happen ... It's not an excuse, it's the truth.

We will look for solutions, I hope we will find some.

We returned yesterday (Thursday) during the night.

Today is the second day after a game and in our experience, it is the one where there is the most risk of being injured.

So that means that we do almost nothing in training.

Recovery, a little training with guys who haven't played in Turkey.

Tomorrow (Saturday), we take the plane and we are still playing (in Nantes) a Ligue 1 match. You know very well that we are losing a player in each match at the moment.

And it's not only the case for us, it's the same for Liverpool, City or Bayern, everyone ... It's a game for the players and if it continues like this, there will be no more players to give joy and performance. "

Containment

: “Of course, this impacts everyone's daily life, we are not just professional players or coaches, we are also humans.

And it's a big change for everyone.

We are worried like everyone else.

It is our challenge and our responsibility to adapt to all the rules.

We trust Emmanuel Macron or Angela Merkel, that's for sure.

We have to do it together, it's our obligation.

We will accept all the rules, we will adapt.

Here, we do a lot of testing.

It almost became a habit to have something in your nose (smile).

Almost every morning ... It almost misses when it is not!

But if we are there, we are tested, we can train.

This is the rule today.

I'm sure it can change every day ... But now it doesn't change too much because we were very strict before.

(...) I understand this situation and I am very happy, it is a great privilege to be able to work, to exercise this profession that I love so much, a large part of my life. "

"We are on D-1 before a match and I have no idea who can play tomorrow, no idea" 

Criticisms on the level of play

: “We try every day but there are phases where things are harder, and it is clearly a phase like that.

There are a lot of reasons.

I have spoken about it often.

But if somebody wants to say it's an apology, OK, we can't convince everyone.

You can only say what you believe in.

Now we have to find our best way of playing, it's clear, I agree that we don't have the most spectacular matches, at the best level, but there are positive things, we are capable to win, outside or at home.

We try everything and we will always push, we will never stop trying to improve.

But we also have to adapt to the level of the players.

We are on D-1 before a match and I have no idea who can play tomorrow, no idea… In these conditions, it's hard to find a click, to make everything easy.

That's the challenge. ”

The young shoots of the club

: “If there are opportunities, the young people must seize them.

Criteria ?

It's simple.

The quality and above all the mentality.

Do they have that, or are they just waiting for the opportunity to come?

This is the difference.

There are a lot of chances, but they can't wait, it will never be enough, they have to fight for every minute in a club like that, a team like that.

These are great expectations.

It is the most important.

It's not hard to always show off because they train together every day because the others have played and can't train.

It is not easy but they have to adapt.

And if they have an opportunity, they have to seize it. ”
