Lens-PSG debrief -

20 Minutes

You miss your stars and everything is depopulated.

Beaten Thursday in Lens (1-0) for its first Ligue 1 match, PSG paid a heavy price for the absence of its stars.

Without Neymar, Di Maria or even Mbappé, the Parisian offensive game came close to nothing with a shot on target in 90 minutes.

Suddenly, Thomas Tuchel has something to be worried about before challenging OM on Sunday at the Parc des Princes.

If Neymar and Di Maria, affected by the Covid, will be able to make their return after their fortnight, the lack of pace may be felt.

“If they play, they will only have a leg workout.

We can give minutes because it is necessary but if Neymar or Di Maria play, they will play a classico after two weeks without training.

I don't expect too much physically.

It's always risky.

We have to talk with the players and the doctors.

But we will not take any risk, ”warns the Parisian coach.

The kids also against OM? 

Still, the Parisian offensive lacks were glaring in Artois with the inexperience of kids like Ruiz and Kalimuendo, holders in Lens.

Not sure that Tuchel will put it back against an opponent of another caliber.

“Playing with young people at home against Marseille is not easy.

I am not worried but I am realistic.

If he plays with the same team (against OM), we will play with the same team.

Normally, we would need several weeks of preparation but we are starting Ligue 1 with four games in ten days.

It's difficult, ”admits the German coach.

Remains that Paris
