The match and turnover
: “We made a lot of changes because I didn't want us to look for excuses, to highlight fatigue, or a lack of concentration between the two Champions League matches against Manchester (victory 3- 1 last Wednesday) and (Istanbul) Basaksehir (next Tuesday, on the sixth day).
So we made a lot of changes because we have confidence (in everyone) and it was necessary to play with good energy and a lot of intensity and that we really push this team on the pitch.
We did it.
I'm very happy because it's not easy to find a rhythm, to play in this structure and with a lot of changes.
But after a quarter of an hour, we found the rhythm, we had a good match with and against the ball.
And we never lost our concentration, the discipline against and with the ball.
For that, it was possible to win.
It's always very hard to win in Montpellier because they have a lot of quality and it's a great victory. ”

: “If it will free him?
I hope.
But life is not too hard (smile).
I don't know if it was necessary for him to break free, but like I said after Manchester he had a good game last Wednesday.
He really gave everything for the team.
He has made other matches where he scored but where I was not as happy with him as after that one.
I was very satisfied because he gave a lot of intensity, did a lot of sprints and a lot of effort against the ball.
If he continues to work, I am very comfortable: we will create opportunities for him.
Today I can only congratulate him, he is still decisive.
And all forwards need goals.
I hope we can continue on Tuesday. ”
PSG not always sovereign in Montpellier
: “Yes, but we were playing against Montpellier, a very strong team.
The most important thing is to accept, not to lose our mind, and we have never lost our structure, our discipline.
We adapted and we answered questions and difficulties.
That is the most important.
We did it in a good way, we mastered the game over many phases and we deserved the victory.
It's always like that: if you want to win in Montpellier, you also need a little luck. "
"He's an extraordinary guy, with a lot of quality, a lot of game intelligence and an incredible mentality"
Thomas Tuchel on Rafinha
Rafinha
: “I like the guy.
I've known him for a long time because I saw his brother (Liverpool player Thiago Alcantara, editor's note) with Barcelona's second team.
And I watched it then, with Barça and the reserve.
I have always followed his career.
He's an amazing guy, with a lot of quality, a lot of game intelligence and an incredible mentality.
He is super humble, super nice, always there and always attentive.
Now it shows its quality.
He had a good match in Manchester and an extraordinary match in Montpellier.
I am very happy with him, very happy for him. ”

Have a good week
: "A click?
I hope.
But honestly we still have to show on Tuesday.
This is the moment to see that we have made a big change after Bordeaux, we have made two matches at a very high level.
We played with everyone, we played twice with good energy and a lot of quality.
Today, the energy on the bench was very positive.
We played with the necessary attitude.
It is necessary to be tired afterwards, it must be a habit at PSG.
It means we gave everything.
You have to give your all, be able to stay mentally in the game, really ready to suffer, to make sacrifices and to stay disciplined, in structure and in plan.
Physically too, because we're a strong team.
This was the case the last two games, but it is necessary to continue.
Now is not the time to stop.
Tomorrow, we will already think about Tuesday.
We will analyze this match, the reasons for satisfaction and why it was different from previous weeks.
In sport, you have to continue, that's the challenge. ”
