In what state is Kylian Mbappé? Is it likely to start on Sunday evening?
I’m happy with the way his little problem has evolved. He trained on Thursday and was today (Friday) with the group. He will be in the group and we will see if he can start tomorrow (Sunday).
Will Lionel Messi be able to regain form quickly after contracting Covid?
I’m happy with Leo’s development. He trained well this week with the group. After a long period without activity, it is satisfying to have him with us. He will also be in the group tomorrow (Sunday).
Not to miss
Di Maria and Donnarumma said this week that more than the tactical aspect, it is on the mentality that we will have to progress. Do you share their opinions?
Everything is important, we are in a multifactorial system. Mindset is important when talking about commitment or resilience. But we cannot leave aside the preparation of the meetings such as the methodology, the game with or without the ball and the system used.
“Neymar is doing well”
For two days, we have been talking about a possible arrival of Tanguy Ndombele. Is this a profile that is missing at PSG?
I don’t like to talk about rumors or players who are in other teams. The club made a major effort to have a balanced and quality workforce during the last transfer window. The transfer window is open and there are always players who want to play more and others who are offered to the club. We will see later.
Messi had started in Reims last August, how do you judge his first months in Paris?
We are very happy to have it. Not only in terms of performance but also in terms of what he brings off the pitch, which is normal when you have a player who has seven Ballons d’Or.
In a month where you only play one match per week, what are you working on more or differently compared to the first part of the season?
We worked in all areas of the game. We focused on the possession game because we are a team that has a lot of the ball. We also worked on mechanisms to hurt the opponent but also the defensive transition, the coordination of the lines or the physical part. Aspects that you can’t work on when you play every three days.
“Happy with Messi’s progress”
The match against Brest was very serious, do you feel your team’s rise before Real Madrid?
This coincides with the fact that one has time to work and to assimilate the concepts of work. I don’t think it has anything to do with the Real Madrid game looming.
Is it certain that Xavi Simons and Edouard Michut remain with the professional group until the end of the season?
