• PSG.Mbappe, again annoyed with Tuchel

Paris coach Saint-Germain, Thomas Tuchel , removed iron from the confrontation he had last Saturday with striker Kylian Mbappé, said there is no crisis in his team and was convinced that it will not lead him to leave the French club.

" There is no crisis . I am not personally angry. I am the coach and they are very important players, whom we need to win games. But it is also necessary to control the group and there is no division," said the German coach at a press conference .

Tuchel acknowledged that "there are times when the relationship between a coach and a player can be more difficult" but was convinced that Mbappé has understood the "sporty" reasons why he replaced him in the 69th minute of the duel against Montpellier . That motivated the attacker to be upset and the coach stood up when he went to the bench. An attitude that Mbappé has had on other occasions.

The coach tried to downplay the incident and confessed that it was one of the topics discussed in the collective talk on Sunday. While ensuring that Mbappé will not give more importance. "I don't think he takes advantage of this situation to leave the club. He has a contract with us , I have explained the reasons why I made that decision," he said.

Minutes to those who "deserved it"

Tuchel said that, although it is difficult to accept for some players that they have to leave the field, "when you explain the sporting reasons they understand it." "I decided that the game was closed and that I had the possibility to get Kylian and Pablo (Sarabia) and give a few minutes to Mauro (Icardi) and Edinson (Cavani), who deserved it," he said.

The coach denied that he makes "political" decisions when scheduling his changes and that he is "afraid" of replacing Neymar. "If I start making 'political' decisions, I'm lost. Everyone would put pressure on me and I could only change the youngest," he said.

The German coach was considered backed by the club and regretted that this touch with Mbappé is hiding the great football moment that goes through the PSG , two weeks after the Champions League returns.

In this regard, Tuchel also regretted that he is talking about the birthday of Neymar, who celebrated it last night at a nightclub in Paris with some of the staff, something that the coach acknowledged that may disturb his preparation.

"It is not the best way to prepare a match, but not the worst," said the coach, who said he will not punish those who attended the party.
