The Lille-PSG debrief -
20 Minutes
Kimpembe, Florenzi and Kurzawa were injured Sunday night in Lille.
In total, nine PSG players are currently in the infirmary.
Blame it on an infernal calendar that condemns Thomas Tuchel, the Parisian coach.
First smiling after the good match made by PSG on Sunday evening (0-0) in Lille, Thomas Tuchel tensed up when we addressed the issue of the schedule and the next match to be played Wednesday against Strasbourg.
Frustrated by the injuries of three new players in the North (Kimpembe, Florenzi, Kurzawa), the Parisian coach attacked the schedule.
“We're going to kill the players.
We are the team that always plays at 9 p.m.
We lose our rhythm with sleep, meals.
When we return to Paris, it is 3-4 in the morning.
We are the only team to do this in Europe.
It's expensive, ”regretted the technician after the meeting.
Nine players on the flank
It must be said that this sequence of ten matches in one month, between Ligue 1 and the Champions League, ended up decimating the Parisian workforce.
“There is a lack of quality players (Diallo, Bernat, Icardi, Neymar, Sarabia, Danilo).
A lot of decisive players are still missing on the field, ”regrets Tuchel, aware of the lack of efficiency of his team on Sunday night in Lille.
And if Mbappé played the last quarter of an hour of the meeting, he seemed far too diminished to weigh on the debates.
“He played without problem (against Lorient on Wednesday) and after that it was not possible.
He had pain 24 hours after the game.
We do not know why.
It is not logical ”, concluded the German coach.
Wednesday night against Strasbourg, PSG will be missing nine players.
A massacre which shows the harmful consequences of this infernal calendar.
It's time for 2020 to end.
