- Three days before going to the Champions League in Dortmund, Paris delivered a disturbing performance at the penultimate of Ligue 1.
- But the Parisians assure it: there is no doubt to be had.
Trust. This is the element of language used in the mixed zone on Saturday in Amiens. For the ominous birds who want to instill doubt in their heads, Paris is not afraid before going to Dortmund on Tuesday in the Champions League. Okay ? Even after a crazy match at Amiens (4-4) marked by many defensive errors, Paris claims to be sure of its strength, series of invincibility as ultimate proof in support. "Our confidence is very high because we haven't lost in 23 games," said Anders Herrera, the Parisian defender.
And no matter if the PSG went completely through it like never during the first half hour, Thomas Tuchel prefers to retain the burst of pride of his troops. "We lacked concentration at the start of the match but the team showed the attitude and the mentality to return this match completely. We had balloons to win. I am not happy with certain things but I am not angry, ”insists the Parisian technician.

"If it happens once during 23 games, we can say that we have confidence"
With the absence of Neymar, Mbappé, Meunier or Sarabia, with the presence of Veratti on the sidelines at the start of the match, PSG had clearly not released its biggest team in Picardy. And for those who have started, we can clearly ask the question of the state of mind and the fear of being injured in view of the soulless performance of Icardi, Di Maria, Draxler, Gueye or Cavani. But again, no reason to worry, we are hammered at PSG. “It is not worrying. Players will return. The state of mind will be completely different ”, plays down Thiago Silva, the Parisian captain. " It could happen. These games before big games are always played in a different context, ”says Tuchel.
And don't go looking for lice in the head of the Parisian coach by insisting on the average performance of his team. Because it is the guaranteed exit from the sulphate.
Do I have to lose my mind? Is it good for you to show doubts? I know it's completely normal for you and everyone to see us win without taking goals. If we get there, it's always easy for you because we have the best team and the best players. Half an hour ago we weren't focused. It could happen. It's life, it's football. We played 22 super concentrated games, it's the first time we haven't been. OK, this is not a normal scenario. But if it happens once during 23 games, we can say that we have confidence ”.
Move along, nothing to see. Paris is doing well and is not afraid. All that remains is to see if this Coué method will be enough on Tuesday evening in Dortmund.
