Edinson Cavani will not ultimately regret having seen his transfer to Atlético de Madrid overturn at the very end of the winter transfer window. Established during the victory against Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, the Uruguayan took advantage of the soft spot experienced by Mauro Icardi after a more than successful first part of the season. Now, the competition is indeed back to PSG on the attacking front, it was Thomas Tuchel who said it.
Asked at a press conference before the reception of Dijon at the Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon, the PSG coach announced that Cavani should again be the holder. “In the last training sessions and the last games, Edi has regained confidence. He scored an important goal against Lyon, he scored his 200th goal [against Bordeaux]. He has a lot of confidence. Now is not the time to stop it, ”said the German.
#Tuchel: "Cavani and Icardi have the same defensive influence on the field. For me, it's more a feeling on which, between the two, can start or enter the field. Edi regained confidence thanks to his 200th goal , no time to cut this. " @ Europe1 # Europe1 #PSG pic.twitter.com/sHuVDk9dlQ

Now we have changed because we trust all the players. In Edi too, he says. I feel like this is an important period for Edi. He scored a goal, made an assist for [Mbappé]. He had opportunities. With attackers, that's how it is, when the attackers score and are decisive, they stay on the field. "
