" I am very tired ".
Mauricio Pochettino seems to have reached the end of his patience in his relationship with the media.
Asked Friday at a press conference about the percentage of chance of seeing him stay at PSG next season, the Argentine technician replied: "100%".
But before this Friday's draw against Strasbourg (3-3), he finally clarified that he was talking about the current season.
A misunderstanding that led to new questions after the spectacular evening draw in Alsace.
“I'm very tired because it's hard to explain.
But I tried, he gets annoyed at Prime Video's microphone.
I only answered the question I was asked: today, what percentage?
For me, 100%, Kylian the same.
I don't understand why this was taken out of context.
Still.
I'm very tired, but I'm strong, and I don't care about rumours.
I am focused on football, on my players.
We continue to do our job.”
The team "remains professional"
Very annoyed, Pochettino continued by evoking "a lack of respect": "That's the problem.
We are here to work for the club, to give our best, and there is a lack of respect all the time.
We will continue to work, we are very happy that the team is not giving up, remains professional, has the desire to play.
Tomorrow is tomorrow.
But today, I am 100% involved with PSG”.
The sequel will therefore wait a little longer.
Despite an apparent smile, Pochettino wasn't much more talkative in the post-match press conference.
He simply praised the “professional” attitude of his team, which played “beautiful football” in Strasbourg.
“We were surprised by things that we knew in the first half, he concludes.
We corrected things in the second.
It's soccer.
Strasbourg has nothing to lose.
But I'm happy because we saw a good match.
There are three left at PSG and Mauricio Pochettino this season.
And after ?
