Paris Saint-Germain had a 3-0 home win against Stade Brest on Saturday evening. Actually not worth mentioning and a duty to be fulfilled, as the first three under Mauricio Pochettino but of historical importance.
At the start of the week, Thomas Tuchel’s successor had just drawn in Saint-Etienne. Accordingly, the Argentine was under a certain pressure at the first home game against Brest as head coach of PSG, which the team withstood without shining particularly well. “I am very happy, even though we know of course that we still have to improve in many areas,” Pochettino told club media.
Just one point behind Lyon
“After only a few days at the club and our second match, we are very satisfied and at the same time impatient for the future.” The greatest satisfaction may have been the fact that championship leaders Olympique Lyon only played a draw at Stade Rennes and PSG are only one point behind. Pochettino also emphasizes the return of Mauro Icardi, who was involved in two goals in the second half, and other recently missing professionals as a positive factor.
“A team and not a group of individuals”
“We are a team and not a group of individuals who play on the same pitch. If we have the whole squad ready and ready, we will be a very strong team,” said Pochettino. Superstar Neymar is still missing with ankle problems and will be absent during the week when Pochettino is already reaching for his first title. In the Supercup on Wednesday evening in Lens, it will be against last year’s runner-up Olympique Marseille.
