PSG coach
Thomas Tuchel's contract
expires next summer.
Because of a potential extension, according to Tuchel, “you don't have to dream if you are under constant fire.” The ex-BVB coach feels that he has been treated unfairly in France: “For a while, I had this naive vision that the coach after four Titles and a Champions League final wouldn't be in the line of fire for a while - it took five days. "
“Obviously we can't please everyone.
So we focus on working with the team and creating the conditions for success.
This works thanks to a good relationship with the team and the employees, ”added Tuchel defiantly.
You have to "know how to put on blinders."

Nagelsmann
.
The 33-year-old sees both games against Paris as "knockout duels".
At least four points should be achieved in the two games.
“Printing is a privilege, it's about something.
Otherwise it would be boring, ”says the coach aggressively.

In addition to the revenge, the advancement in the group is a great incentive for the RB kickers,
Julian Nagelsmann
assured that they "learned certain lessons from the semi-finals".
Should his team still have ambitions in the
Champions League

whether Nagelsmann's
former coach
Tuchel will allow this.
