Thomas Tuchel: ‘Always a challenge’
On the eve of Matchday 24 of Ligue 1 against Lyon on Sunday 9 February at 9pm at the Parc des Princes, the Paris Saint-Germain coach answered questions from the media. Highlights below.
SQUAD
“Abdou Diallo, Colin Dagba and Juan Bernat aren’t available for the match against Lyon. Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, and Neymar have returned to training but will also just miss out on Sunday evening.”
LYON
“I feel that my team is very strong, very focussed. We have put in huge effort since the start of the year. We have won a lot, shown our desire to win, with performances from the whole team. We are confident that we can continue. We need to be wary, we need to respect Lyon’s quality. It’s a huge match in France, it’s always a challenge when you face teams like Lyon. It’s always difficult, I hope we will be ready on Sunday and that we continue in this way.”
PABLO SARABIA
“He is a lad who does his job. He is extraordinary because he has the talent, makes an impact and brings something different. He makes high intensity runs, works defensively, can play in several positions and is always dangerous. It’s good to have players like him. I am very happy that he is here. We need a strong squad, not only 11 players. We have gained a lot of quality and personality with him. I hope he will continue like this.”
