Tuchel: 'Very focused'

SQUAD

"The squad is going to train this Tuesday afternoon. Two days after a game, it's time to discuss, to talk with the physiotherapists, doctors and players. Marquinhos, Juan Bernat, Thiago Silva and Colin Dagba are sure to be absent. I hope that all the others will be available."

NANTES

"I'm expecting to face a team that will play 4-4-2. Nantes are very strong at home. We have a lot of respect for them, it's never easy. We lost there last season when we were in a pretty difficult situation. Today the situation has changed. We've won a lot, that will still be our challenge on Tuesday. We're expecting to face a tightly-knit, disciplined team that runs a lot. We want to have the possession to control the game and to win."

CONFIDENCE

"In sports, having too much confidence is the worst possible thing. I feel my team is very professional, very focused. We have played a lot of games, in different competitions, and we have found solutions. Against Montpellier, the team was very serious and put in a big effort. We're expecting Nantes to be at their best. Against us, it's always like that. I feel my team is very concentrated on the match, in training, in the dressing room... The players are happy to be together. It's the best thing to prepare well, but you have to be attentive and have a lot of respect for your opponents."

TEAM SPIRIT

"We are in great form, with extraordinary results. We are winning spectacularly against different teams. We showed great qualities against Montpellier, won 5-0, and we're not talking about the match, not the performance, but about Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. So I'm sad because I love the game. We're a strong team, we love the game and we play with intensity despite the busy fixture list."
