PSG has resumed day-to-day business.

Stunned by his home defeat by Manchester United to start his Champions League campaign on Tuesday, the Parisian club reacted by easily beating Dijon on Saturday night (4-0).

It's always easier to say after the fact, but listening to Thomas Tuchel after the meeting, the Mancunian slap was perhaps a bad for a good.

“You can expect a lot of defeats, and at times it may be necessary for everyone to feel bad for a few hours, or a day or two,” observed the German coach.

But afterwards, it is necessary to overcome, to look ahead and also to be active.

And for that, we found a "spirit" on the ground, we found a good quality.

"Marquinhos is the heart and soul of our team"

It was the least of things against the last of the class, some will say, but in the current context, with matches that are linked every three days, states of fatigue to manage and recruits to integrate, Tuchel does not choosy.

“A result like that helps a lot, it was the moment to put (the loss to Manchester United) behind us and move forward.

"

Among the satisfactions, the former Dortmund coach can count the efficiency of Moise Kean, author of a double, the envy of Neymar, the meticulous stats of Mbappé while having made him breathe and the influence of Marquinhos in sentinel.

“He is the heart and soul of our team.

That's why he has to play in the center of the game, ”Tuchel explained when asked why he put the Brazilian in the middle and Danilo in central defense - not the other way around.

The German believes that the aura of his captain, who was absent against MU, is essential.

" He is talented.

He has all the qualities to be an environment, in addition to his mentality of worker.

In the middle, he can help both defenders and attackers.

It is important that he is close to everyone because he is the boss.

Marqui has the best volume on the team.

If that's not a nice statement.
