After the precious success in Montpellier (3-1), marked by Kylian Mbappé's 100th goal with Paris, Thomas Tuchel was much more relaxed than a week ago when he attacked his players after the draw conceded to the Park against Bordeaux (2-2).
What is your feeling after this victory when you had fielded an unprecedented team?
THOMAS TUCHEL.
We made a lot of changes.
And I'm very happy, because it's not easy to find a rhythm.
We had a good game with and without the ball.
We never lost our focus.
It's always difficult to win here.
It's a great victory.
Kylian Mbappé had not scored for three games.
Will this 100th goal free him?
I hope.
But I don't think her life is too complicated right now anyway.
I don't know if he needs to be released.
He had made a lot of effort against Manchester.
I can only say congratulations.
It is always decisive.
I hope we can continue on Tuesday (in the Champions League at the Parc against Basaksehir).
Despite the final result, Montpellier gave you problems and almost led 2-1 ...

For me the most important is that we never lost our mind.
We adapted and we responded.
That is the most important.
To win in Montpellier, you also need luck.

What is your take on Rafinha who had a great match?
I like the guy.
I have known Rafinha for many years.
I saw his brother (
Editor's note: Thiago Alcantara
) with the Barcelona second team.
I watched them both.
I have always followed his career.
He's an extraordinary guy with a game intelligence. He's super humble, always pleasant, always there, always attentive.
He had a good match in Manchester.
Another amazing game here.
I am very happy for him.
Isn't this the best week in Paris since the start of the season?
I hope so but we still have to show it on Tuesday.
We played two very high level matches after Bordeaux.
The energy on the bench today was very positive.
We played with the necessary attitude.
If we give everything, if we stay mentally in the game and if we are ready to suffer, to remain disciplined, that will be fine.
But we must continue.
Now is not the time to stop.
From tomorrow (Sunday) we will think about how to prepare well for Tuesday's match.
