After his big first as head coach of PSG, Sunday evening in Saint-Etienne (0-0), Mauricio Pochettino is preparing this time to set foot on the lawn of the Parc des Princes on the occasion of the reception of Brest on Saturday night, 20 years after his last match as a Parisian player.

Something to titillate the Argentinian, who presented himself in (visio) press conference Friday afternoon from the Camp des Loges.

“It's going to be a special evening for me and a joy, almost 20 years after wearing this jersey.

There will be no supporters, it's a shame and it will be missing.

In any case, we talked about it between us: we have the impression that it's been a year that we are there while it's only been five or six days, ”said the former manager of Tottenham.

Neymar forfeit, Icardi back

Asked then about his training methods, known to be very demanding for the cardio players, and on the at least disparate states of form in the workforce, “Poche” was pragmatic.

“It is certain that we must adapt and above all analyze, listen to the players, but also the staff, to understand and make the best decisions.

Adaptability is one of the most important things in life, and as a staff you have to adapt to find the best strategy.

The circumstances are what they are.

I am happy with the investment of the players.

We try to recover the wounded to have more people.

We have to improve in many areas, the physique is part of it, ”he explained.

If Neymar is still under review in the garage for the match against Brest, Mauricio Pochettino will be able to count on the returns to the group of Mauro Icardi, Layvin Kurzawa and Alessandro Florenzi.

Forced to concede a draw to Geoffroy-Guichard on Sunday, PSG, third in Ligue 1 three points behind the Lyon leader, will not have the right to make mistakes in the face of an attractive team from Finistère.
