The hatchet is buried.
If Thomas Tuchel had strived to look good in front of the media before the break, we know that PSG only moderately appreciated seeing some of its players called up for selection when they were injured.
This was particularly the case of Kylian Mbappé, out since the end of October with a muscle glitch in his thigh.
But all's well that ends well.
Not used against Finland (2-0 defeat), the world champion did not come into play in Portugal either (1-0 victory).
“It didn't play out much for him to be available against Portugal, it was too fair,” Didier Deschamps said, before asserting that the former Monegasque “very want” to play against Sweden (4-2 victory).
And Mbappé played, a good half hour.
With a decisive pass to the key elsewhere, on one of his first balls.
“Everything went well, he will return to his club available, fresh, smiled“ DD ”after Sweden.
He played 30 minutes after warming up much longer than usual.
He was good, with good feelings, an assist.
He finds his club with a match quickly (Friday).
The medical staff have done a lot of work to allow him to be cured, on the ground and at the disposal of his club. "

And the national coach added, in the form of a small slipped tackle: “I have the impression that we are not able to deal with it here (in the France team).
We did things gradually, based on how he felt. "
And precisely, “Herr Tuchel” praised this work.
In fact, he is delighted that his player was able to frolic on the Saint-Denis meadow on Tuesday evening before facing Monaco this Friday (9 p.m.) during the 11th day of Ligue 1, and especially Leipzig, next Tuesday (9 p.m.), in the Champions League, on behalf of the fourth day.
“It was good news,” he savored at a press conference.
There was good communication between Mr. Deschamps and me and between the staffs, the physical trainers.
It was very good, very reliable.
It was the best thing for Kylian to have played a few minutes, to have practiced yesterday and today.
Now it's up to us to keep going, to be smart and to give a few minutes tomorrow for him to progress physically. ”
What playing time in Monaco?
Remember that PSG will be obliged to win next Tuesday, in C1.
Having a Kylian Mbappé at the top, or at least in rhythm, will not be a luxury.
Especially since the list of absentees is still long, especially within the offensive sector, with in particular uncertainty about Neymar in view of Monaco.
“Kylian showed a good state of mind, it was very important, Tuchel swears again.
I'm happy, it was very reliable to only let him play for 30 minutes (against Sweden).
There was very good communication with the France team.
We know exactly what they did with Kylian in training.
And with his entry into play, it was great.
He did full training with us yesterday (Wednesday).
It was very good.
And suddenly, I am very confident in the perspective of letting him play tomorrow (Friday).
We still have to decide how many minutes he will play.
But he feels very good. ”
In addition to the uncertainty Neymar, Mauro Icardi is certainly forfeited, Angel Di Maria must be watched like milk on the fire after his rally with the Argentina team and Moise Kean should be operational, despite an alert with Italy.
Package against Rennes before the international break, Pablo Sarabia is good for the service.
Young Kays Ruiz too.
To the question of knowing if the PSG is less respected by the federations than other big clubs in this kind of file, Tuchel added this, in the form of pirouette but with new compliments: "I prefer not to answer, it" is a question for the sports director, for Leonardo.
It's between the club and the national teams.
But for example with Italy, they accepted that it was the best thing for Moise Kean to return to Paris.
Same thing with the Brazil team.
We are still in contact and they gave Ney the opportunity to come back to us.
Same thing with Kylian.
There were good contacts and a lot of respect between us.
It is not a question for me, I am the coach, it is between the club and the Federations. ”
Now it's time to play and return to the field for Paris-SG, with this trip to Louis II always particular for Kylian Mbappé.
Although, this time, all Parisian heads will already be turned towards Leipzig, including his ...
PSG: Tuchel delighted with Leonardo's support
Leonardo recently gave his public support to Thomas Tuchel, saying the club "never" thought of replacing the German manager.
Words that obviously pleased the latter.
“It's always good if the sports director is with the coach, relishes the Bavarian at a press conference.
It's good for every coach, and me too, it's clear.
But we always work in the same way, always close and we give everything every day.
It is always the coach who is responsible if the results are more complicated.
This is normal, it is life and it is not a problem.
We know what we are doing, that we are working together and that is very good. "
Obviously, the support of the Brazilian sports director could quickly crumble in the event of disappointment against Leipzig next Tuesday, during the fourth day of the Champions League ...
