Mauricio Pochettino explained it this Tuesday noon at a press conference.
The cascade of injuries does not change the situation.
Despite the withdrawals of Leo Messi (left Achilles tendon), Marco Verratti (left knee), Presnel Kimpembe (right knee) and the suspension of Neymar, it is a new success that PSG will seek Angers.
And for good reason, with its 15-point lead in the standings, the capital club can hope to win its 10th title this Wednesday if by chance it does better than Marseille, which hosts Nantes at the Vélodrome.
In what state is the team, both physically and morally, in the final sprint of this season which seems very long?
MAURICIO POCHETTINO.
Long, no.
But the circumstances mean that we are in a different format.
Maybe the disappointment of no longer being in the Champions League gives that impression.
There are players who will not be here tomorrow (Wednesday).
It's an opportunity for young people and those who don't play a lot to show off.
One month from the end of the season, have you started working with Leonardo on the outlines of next season?
We haven't reached our goal for the season yet.
We are focused on the title and on the matches to come.
The sports management is working on the next season.
How do you assess your season?
The time to take stock will come after obtaining the title and the end of the championship.
One of the main objectives was to win the Champions League.
Not having achieved it is a disappointment.
But we will still run behind this title to get it.
And do you see yourself in the future and do you want to stay in Paris?
I have a one-year contract, it's contractual.
And I'm still driven, with my staff, by the desire to be better, to take revenge on the season that has just ended.
How do you keep your team involved at a time when there is hardly any more suspense for the title?
The motivation is there.
We have a 10th title to go for.
It's not done yet.
Players like the staff we all have the motivation to offer this title, important for the history of the club.
We have to respect football, ourselves and the opponents.
Like Marquinhos, who did not appreciate the behavior of the supporters, do you call for the sacred union?
We live in a democracy, we must respect the opinion of the supporters, they have the right to express themselves.
But I hope that we can celebrate together obtaining this 10th title.
It is important in the future to have a relationship of good understanding.
It is necessary for the whole club, especially at PSG where we hope to win all the titles.
Given the context at the Parc des Princes, would it be better for Paris to celebrate the title outside?
The sooner the better.
But the most important thing is not where we are going to celebrate it but to win the title.
Anyway, it will be a huge satisfaction, on a personal level, to win the title and to be part of those who participated in obtaining this historic 10th title for the club.
Are young people like Michut, Simons or Bitschiabu likely to bring added value to PSG in the medium term?
You have just mentioned some young people who have been training with us for a year.
They are indeed capable of it.
If you do better than Marseille, you will be champion in Angers.
Are you going to send a message to Antoine Kombouaré who is facing OM?
Antoine is a very good friend and also a supporter of PSG.
Beyond what he may think of Paris, I think he wants to win for himself and for Nantes.
