On the eve of the Round 17 Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg, this Wednesday December 23 at 21:00 CET at the Parc des Princes, the Paris Saint-Germain coach answered questions from PSG TV and the media. Extracts…
STRASBOURG
"Strasbourg are a team that have a strong personality, a team that fights and never gives up. They're a very physical team and have a lot of character. We know what to expect. It will be a difficult match for our last match of the year. Assessing 2020? I don't like to do that before the last match. We must deal with a difficult and complicated situation. We're 100% focused on the match."
STARTING ELEVEN
"I don't know who will play because some players are in the red zone. We need to wait for the last training session, then I'll speak to the doctor and make a very late decision. We need to wait and then find solutions, because we'll be missing 10 international players. Julian Draxler? Maybe it will be necessary for him to start the match. It might not be reasonable, but necessary. Play the youngsters? We need to find solutions and it will not be easy. We'll see, and it might be necessary. They'll play if they deserve to play."
MOISE KEAN
"Moise brings us his speed and strength, and that could become even more important in certain games. He's very humble, knows his role, is always ready to work and to fight it out with opposition defenders. He defends, closes down the space and puts in a lot of effort from a tactical standpoint."
