Pochettino’s anxiety before facing Barcelona

The PSG led by Mauricio Pochettino arrives at a good moment: he won for the French Cup and is in tune for the Champions League return match against Barcelona. Despite the 4-1 in favor in the first leg, the Argentine coach marked some anxiety on the part of journalism before the rematch and decided that the squad was concentrated one day before the game.

“During the two months that I have been in France, I have seen that there is a certain panic due to injuries and preparation before certain games. We have a plan to follow and it does not change”said Pochettino, showing calm in the face of Wednesday’s confrontation in Paris.

Regarding the measure he took with the campus, the DT stated: “Sometimes the team needs to concentrate, sometimes not. We agreed that after these weeks with many injuries, problems with the virus, it is important to be in the hotel, train, relax to prepare for the game in the best possible way. Concentration is necessary. We do it out of necessity. “.

In addition, Pochettino expressed himself about the return of Ángel Di María, but did not confirm it for the duel against Lionel Messi’s team: “There is still time to decide the team that will start on Wednesday, but I am happy with what Ángel did, especially since he had not played since the Marseille game.”
