Tuchel: 'Our challenge is to bounce back'
Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel spoke to the press ahead of Tuesday's trip to the Stade Gaston-Gérard for their rescheduled Week 18 clash against Dijon FCO:
THE SQUAD
Edinson Cavani trained individually yesterday and tomorrow's game is too risky; he won't play. Stanley Nsoki is back training with us, but the Dijon game comes too soon. Julian Draxler is injured and side-lined for a few weeks. Leandro Paredes is not qualified and Dani Alves is suspended.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Everyone is upset. It's difficult to analyse the match. I think it was an accident and there's no logical explanation; we controlled the match, but the tension grew as the match wore on. Our reaction was excellent after the first goal, but then we had the chance to put those doubts behind us and we didn't do it. I won't lie to you: I was confident, but we didn't have any luck to help us over this obstacle.
DIJON
The first few days after the loss, the players don't want to play... but they don't have any choice - we have to finish the season. You have to know how to accept defeat and keep going; that's sport. We have the chance to bounceback, like champions, and that's our challange, for me and the coaching staff, the push the players each and every day. To play tomorrow is the best medicine.
