We must save Private Tuchel.
And that the rest of the army take its responsibilities… It was more or less the message of Marquinhos after the Parisian defeat in Leipzig (2-1), Wednesday, at the Red Bull Arena, during the third day of the League of champions.
The German coach is indeed widely criticized, and each misstep seems to bring him a little closer to the door.
“We know how football is, blows the captain of PSG on
RMC Sport
.
He is the coach who had the best season in club history.
And the following season, we talk about his future ... Football has no patience, whether for me, the coach, everyone.
You have to focus on the real topics.
He's our coach, the PSG coach. "
"If things aren't going well, it's not just the coach's fault"
Marquinhos
The Brazilian is not fooled, and he knows very well that "we don't have time in football".
And it is therefore up to Paris Saint-Germain players to take their responsibilities on the pitch.
“We need to do some things better.
We trust our coach.
We have to work to improve.
If things aren't going well, it's not just the coach's fault… We, the players, can do a lot better too.
The season will not be easy, we know that.
We saw it today, we were missing a lot of players ... We must not look for excuses.
When you're on the pitch, you have to fight to win, no matter how you play, good or bad. "
With three points in three matches (the classification here), Paris Saint-Germain does not have too much choice: it will be necessary to make an almost faultless during the return phase to reach the round of 16 of C1.

It remains to be seen whether it will be with Marquinhos in the middle.
Tuchel continues to think this is the best option.
What does the person think about it?
“I'll let you judge.
I know what to do, he evades.
I have fun (at this post).
I don't want to give people even more motivation to talk about me, my positioning and especially the coach.
We are united.
We defend the real things to defend.
When you are in the field, you have to fight to win.
That's all.
Today, we failed to win. ”
And to add, in the form of a message to his team-mates: "We have to stop, we have to think about what we can do best because we have to stop leaving points on the way to advance in the competition".
"We have to increase our level of play if we want to go really far"
Marquinhos
Wednesday, Paris, deprived of Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and several other major players, however, started the meeting perfectly.
It was (much) less satisfying after rest… “It's hard to explain, admits“ Marqui ”.
We had to keep the same mentality, the intensity in the game and in defense as in the first period.
When you take a goal, you must not have this kind of less good shot.
It's hard, you have to manage.
There are three games left.
He stay positive.
In the locker room, you have to continue to want to improve.
We must not continue like this.
This competition is very tough.
We have to increase our level of play if we want to go really far.
It is between us that we will work, that we will improve for these next three matches. ”
During its next outing in C1, PSG will receive the same team from Leipzig.
It will be November 24.
