Thomas Tuchel was in great shape this Saturday during the press conference before the PSG-OM shock.

The German coach began by responding to the mockery of Marseille fans and Dimitri Payet after the Parisian defeat in the Champions League final.

“They celebrated our loss to Manchester United last year.

Nothing new, that doesn't interest me… If you have to celebrate the defeats of others, it's because you have nothing to celebrate, ”he said to warm up.

Then it was the LFP that took.

Asked about owing the Classic so early in the season, the German did not hide his annoyance.

“It's a great match in France, so I'm very surprised it's scheduled for Matchday 3.

I do not understand that.

A match like this has to take place in October or November, when both teams are ready to fight at their best.

It is not possible to play this game in our second game.

"

Beyond the date, PSG is, it should be remembered, handicapped by many absences due to the coronavirus.

Kylian Mbappé, Mauro Icardi and Marquinhos must withdraw.

As for Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Keylor Navas and Leandro Paredes, they should make their return to the group.

Will they be able to be present at kick-off?

There, however, nothing is less certain.
