PSG-Reims (4-0): Pochettino ensures that Paris "must believe it"

Thanks to its victory against Reims (4-0) this Sunday at the Parc, PSG returned to only two points from Lille, held in check by Saint-Etienne (0-0).

The title will be played on the final day next week.

Paris will have to win in Brest, hoping for a misstep from Lille to Angers.

Asked at a press conference, Parisian coach Mauricio Pochettino gave his point of view on this fight from a distance.

Does the scenario of the match in Lille confirm you in the idea of ​​believing in it until the end?

MAURICIO POCHETTINO.

Yes, we have to believe it.

We have to do the job by winning the match in Brest.

Afterwards, we must hope and believe that Angers can achieve a result against Lille.

However, we must first remain focused on the cup final (Editor's note: Wednesday against Monaco).

Did PSG take a psychological advantage over Lille with this victory?

The reality is the points in the standings.

It is not a psychological question.

We must already be thinking about having a good performance in Brest.

We are confident, we are convinced that we can play a good game and win it.

We will then see what Lille is doing on its side.

Paris is used to playing with pressure.

This is not the case with Lille.

Is this an asset for your team?

It's hard to say.

When you have experienced players in your team, you say to yourself that it's easier to manage these situations, but Lille also has experienced players with qualities.

It will mainly be a question of performance in my opinion.

How do you get your players to be physically ready for Wednesday's final?

The states of form are what they are.

We have the motivation and the desire to win this Coupe de France for the good of the club.

Do you still hope that Neymar can play this final in the event that the CNOSF is seized?

We'll see, that's something else ... We'll see what decision will be made.

Would you like to work with Serge Aurier again next season?

I don't think this is the time to talk about players who belong to other clubs.

Once the season is over, the club will make the necessary decisions.

Why did Julian Draxler come out so early?

It was not a tactical choice.

He had a discomfort which caused his replacement.

Why were Idrissa Gueye and Abdou Diallo not on the scoresheet?

They were not feeling well.

They had gastro and had to go home.
