Thomas Tuchel and Leonardo at Camp des Loges, October 17, 2019. -

CHRISTOPHE SAIDI / SIPA

There is (a little) fire at PSG.

Behind the scenes, because on the ground everything is going well after the victory against Angers (6-1).

Coming to the mixed zone after the match, Leonardo did not miss his coach Thomas Tuchel, who had complained about the transfer window the day before.

Dry response.

Very dry: “We didn't like the statement.

The club did not like.

I personally did not like it.

I think we have to understand the moment we are all living, there are very serious situations.

We will have internally how we do it.

But if someone is not happy, it's easy to talk.

But if he decides to stay, it is necessary to respect the sports policy, that is to say the internal rules.

"

Relaunched several times, Leonardo was very annoyed that Tuchel believes that the workforce is not good enough.

And that the German coach does not understand the context.

“It is not a question of transfer window, but of form, explains the sporting director.

To stay in this club, you have to be happy, with the desire to suffer for the club, the spirit of sacrifice, even if you are going through a complicated time.

If we can sign players, fine.

Otherwise, let's go.

This is the spirit we are looking for.

"

Is this the occasion to separate from Tuchel, an intention that has been attributed to Leonardo for some time now?

"No, no," Leonardo concludes.

We're not here to go to trial.

It's not a question of football, it's that we cannot forget the context in which we live.
