Tuchel’s new rant

Four days later, PSG disappointed again in the league with a draw (2-2) against the Girondins de Bordeaux. Leader with only two small points ahead of its pursuers, the capital club is treading water. Above all, he does not have a behavior that pleases Thomas Tuchel. At a press conference on Saturday after the match against Bordeaux, the German technician was off the hook. He had not hesitated to point the finger at his players and to confront them with their responsibilities.

“No we can’t play without physical effort like we played in the second half, that’s not possible. The first half was good, we had chances, we followed the plan, we were disciplined, we played simple. We lacked seriousness to finish the match, to kill this match, to be decisive. We also lacked determination in the opponent’s area. But we missed everything in the second half. Discipline, attitude, effort, we didn’t follow the plan. It is logical that we lose the second half, it is deserved. I still protect my team normally, but today I totally disagree with the team’s effort in the second half. For me, it’s not necessary to lose more points like in Monaco last week, to do that again in the second half, it was absolutely not necessary. “

A cloakroom that tenses up

And the former Dortmund coach has not faded. Indeed, The Parisian teaches us this Monday evening that Thomas Tuchel pushed a new rant yesterday (Sunday) at the Ooredoo training center. He said he was not satisfied with the content of the meetings as well as the level of play offered or the placement in defense. The regional daily specifies that the Parisian technician wants to see another face against Manchester United. He wants to find the team he saw in Lisbon during Final 8 and which reached the final of the Champions League.

And Thomas Tuchel would not be the only one annoyed. As for the players too, we are not satisfied. Besides a frustrated Angel Di Maria, The Parisian explains that Neymar would be a bit pissed off after the weekend’s result. It is also specified that the Brazilian would complain in private about the individualism of some of his teammates. Despite everything, the sacred union was decreed before going to challenge Manchester United on the fifth day of the Champions League. Atmosphere.
