Mauricio Pochettino almost spent his press conference standing, the fault of a wet chair in the corridors of the Moustoir stadium.
After the defeat of PSG against Lorient (3-2), the Argentinian did not wish to dramatize.
He evokes an "accident" without wanting to seek excuses.
How do you explain the defeat of your team?
MAURICIO POCHETTINO.
It's football.
We never found the pace we wanted to impose on Lorient.
We must also give credit to Lorient.
In the second half, we controlled the game better by leading 2-1.
But we are disappointed, sad with this result.
How to justify this imbalance at the end of the match?
By a lack of coordination.
We wanted to seek victory at 2-2 and the defensive organization was confused.
Lorient was given the opportunity to counterattack and score.
Do you explain the worries of your team by the heavy workloads in training?
It's a possibility.
We are looking for the players to improve physically.
We work.
It's an accident.
I'm not looking for excuses.
But that kind of result happens.
We remain optimistic.

When you lose, it's normal to find out why.

We are trying to find our balance.

Is this a sign that the presence of Marco Verratti is essential?
Marco is an important player.
But you also have to know how to win with other players.
I don't want to use that as an excuse.
What message did you send to your players during the break?
We weren't moving the ball fast enough.
We weren't moving enough on the pitch.
We could not break Lorient's defensive lines.
It's a shame that the game escapes us on two final actions.
And what is the final speech?
That we have to move on quickly?
There are always positive things.
And accidents happen in football.
We take game after game.
This meeting shows above all that, when we do not impose the rhythm and the game, these things happen.
