PSG are preparing to experience two decisive matches for their season.
The first this Wednesday evening at the Stade de France against AS Monaco in the final of the Coupe de France before a trip to Brest, Sunday, on behalf of the 38th day of Ligue 1. This Tuesday evening, Mauricio Pochettino presented himself in the Coupe de France, slightly ill, confirming the uncertainty around the participation of Presnel Kimpembe and Neymar.
An appeal from PSG was brought to the CNOSF to counter the suspension of the two players.
Can you count on Kimpembe and Neymar?
How do you approach this final?
Mauricio Pochettino.
We do not know yet.
We are waiting, we will see in the next few hours.
As Marquinhos said, the finals are won.
It's important to get to the final but more than the performance it's important to win the match and lift the trophy.
Monaco have twice beaten PSG.
Do you have a plan ?
It happens.
Monaco has merit.
It's a physical team with a lot of qualities.
We lost against Monaco (0-2) after the victory at Camp Nou (4-1, in the knockout stages of the Champions League).
We had dominated in the game, maybe we deserved more.
Monaco had been efficient.
Tomorrow is a final and it's always different.
Don't you fear the negative influence of the uncertainty around Neymar and Kimpembe?
It is a normal preparation.
We are just waiting for the decision.
We will decide on the team tomorrow.
It won't affect the team.
How do you feel about the group physically?
You can always feel better and improve.
But the team is doing well.
Before a final, there is always a surplus of motivation.
Physically and mentally, everything will be fine as we are excited to play a final.
How to manage these last two games, which will determine the success or failure of the PSG season?
As Marquinhos said, we are two games from the end, two games from two titles, we do not need to talk much.
The motivation is there.
The group is in a good spirit.
Is this one of the most important weeks in your career?
I am calm, calm.
I'm a trainer like that, I don't have any special excitement.
We have confidence in our workforce.
Hope it will be a good day for us.
Can we hear from Draxler, Diallo and Gueye?
Draxler suffered from muscle overload in his thigh.
We will see after training if he can be present.
Diallo and Gana suffered from gastroenteritis.
They were training away yesterday (Monday).
We will see how they feel today.
