Thomas Tuchel: 'Need to play to our best'

The Paris Saint-Germain coach told the media his side will need to maintain their high standards at Saint-Étienne on Sunday.

THE SQUAD
"Thomas Meunier will be missing tomorrow, Choupo-Moting is ill. He trained with us yesterday, but today he's resting. All the others should be available, we'll wait until the end of the training session for the some of them. Neymar and Cavani are out. We'll be cautious with those who have played a lot and those who have only just come back from injury like Marco Verratti and Presnel Kimpembe."

SAINT-ETIENNE
"They're a very strong team that has done rather well against the league's big teams, against the top five. They have experience and a lot of quality. We also know that the atmosphere at Saint-Étienne is great, and it'll be a big challenge for us to play them at this stage of the season. When you're at Paris Saint-Germain, you have to expect these kinds of games, you have to be ready and well prepared for each game, because teams are waiting for us. We have had two days off and two to prepare well. We'll have to play to our best if we want to win at Saint-Étienne."

THE FIXTURE LIST
"At a club like Paris Saint-Germain, you always have to show that will to win, because we want to win everything. The players who are here want to play and win too. No-one at the club, whether it be the players or the staff, looks at the fixture list and considers this or that match more or less important. We are here to achieve objectives and we have to prove ourselves up to the task, every day. We have to be ready to take on any challenge that crosses our path."

MANCHESTER UNITED
"We played like a real team, we defended together, it was a very good result and a great evening for us. But it's over now, we have to move on and be able to focus on our upcoming games. Everyone is very happy with what happened at Old Trafford, us the first. But we absolutely must not lose our focus and have to prepare ourselves for the challenges coming up."
