2021-04-09T13:40:37.584Z


The Parisian coach spoke at a press conference this Friday, on the eve of the trip to Strasbourg on behalf of the 32nd day of Ligue 1.


State of mind:

“After the victory in Munich, the team is mentally well.

But we don't have time to think about this victory, we have to project ourselves on Strasbourg, in a difficult context with absentees (Marquinhos, Diallo, Icardi, Verratti, Florenzi, Kurzawa, editor's note).

We only think of Strasbourg. "

Idrissa Gueye:

“We're happy with what he's doing.

We already knew him, especially with his visit to England.

We are happy with his commitment, his performance, what he brings to the team. "

The 100 days of Pochettino in Paris:

“It is normal that after three months, the team shows this irregularity, it is the case since the beginning of the season.

The goal has always been to optimize different sectors while having results, because a club like PSG always demands results.

Everything that can be said may suggest that we are looking for excuses, but the staff need time to work in the field and to set things up, which has not been the case so far.

But we keep trying to optimize things to get results.

We are happy with these first months.

I played here several years ago (between January 2001 and the 2003 offseason), but being inside the club, I'm happy with the structure.

We know we have to achieve our goals, which is always the case at PSG. "

Presnel Kimpembe:

“His performance in Munich?

The team showed solidarity and showed a very good attitude.

Kim and others had a good performance.

We can always do better.

For tomorrow, we still have to choose who will play.

Physical condition will be important because it will be a difficult game. ”

The comparison between Tottenham 2019 and this PSG:

“If we have to see a similarity between the two periods, it is the number of matches played in a short time, it's very hard.

For the rest, it's complicated to draw parallels between the two with the Covid-19 pandemic.

It's almost uncontrollable and it has a big influence within the teams.

It affects the physical condition of the players but we do not yet know the long-term consequences ... It is therefore difficult to compare the two things. "

PSG stronger far from the Parc des Princes:

“I don't know.

It's difficult to understand… This is one of the questions we will ask ourselves at the end of the season, to know if it is punctual or if we have to look for solutions in case we have to continue playing without an audience. . "

Kylian Mbappé and the Real Madrid rumor (denied by his entourage):

“In clubs like Paris, with top players like Kylian, we are used to rumors… He is focused, he wants to give the best of himself so that we achieve the objectives.

The club is also focused on the idea of ​​extending it.

After that, I think that has no influence on his performance. "

Strasbourg:

“It is indeed a very physical team.

It will be important to have the ability to detect which players will be the coolest to play.

It should not only be physically fresh, but also have quality.

Everyone, the medical and performance staff, is making an effort to ensure that the players recover in the best possible way.

We will have to find the players who will be the most suitable for this match without taking any risk but by making sure to win. ”
