Tuchel: 'We need everyone'
Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel spoke to the media at the traditional pre-match press conference ahead of the home match against Dijon this Saturday at 17:30 at the Parc des Princes:
SQUAD
Abdou Diallo and Mitchel Bakker have both returned to training. Neymar and Marco Verratti are suspended. Colin Dagba, Thiago Silva, Ander Herrera and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting are missing.
DIJON
We recorded a big win over them in the Coupe de France, but we lost against them in Ligue 1. The first half in the Cup game was very tight. They defend very well and are very good on the counterattack. They like to look long and contest in the air and then look for the second ball. They are also dangerous from throw-ins. We have to be focused. We are very strong at home and we want to win in front of our fans.
FIXTURES
We have some great games coming up. The players want to win every game between now and Borussia Dortmund. They are ready to take on their responsibilities and that means win these upcoming matches before we focus on the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund.
COMPETITION FOR PLACES
It's hard to make these decisions, but they are always based on sporting reasons. There's nothing personal. The competition for places is strong and we need everyone for the upcoming matches.
