Tuchel: 'A great opportunity'

Find out what Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel had to say on the eve of the Coupe de la Ligue semi-final against Reims:

SQUAD

"We will finalise the travelling squad after training on Tuesday, but Thilo Kehrer and Juan Bernat are both out. Edinson Cavani didn't train with the squad on Monday and I don't think he will be available. All the other players trained normally and are available. We have a strong squad and we have confidence on those who play."

REIMS

"They are very strong in defence. They don't concede many goals ad have the best defence in Ligue 1. It's very hard to create chances against them. We will analyse all that and try to show our quality. We will have to be patient and control their counterattacks to have as many goal scoring chances of our own. It will be a tough game. Reims have a great chance to play in a final... and we do too! But for that, we need to win. We have confidence and quality and now is the time to show it."

MERCATO

"I love every player in the squad. We don't want to lose anyone, but... it can happen, that's football. We have to wait and see because perhaps nothing will happen at all. Leonardo said everything that needed to be said. Cavani? Today, Edi is my player and I'm very happy about that. It's always hard for a top quality player who is ised to playing every three days. The situation has changed and he's not playing as much, he is lacking match fitness and confidence, and they are the most important things for strikers. But that's how it is in the big clubs. THere are a lot of quality players and the competition for places is fierce. It's not easy for him and I understand that. But I know he is still our player and know he wants us to win."
