PSG-Bordeaux: Gasset shows his support for Tuchel

“At the end of the match, I was very happy that Paris had won. Even if there was no way. “PSG and Thomas Tuchel have therefore found themselves an ambassador of choice after their mixed success (1-0) on Tuesday evening during the 4th day of the Champions League against Leipzig. Two days before coming to challenge the French champion at the Parc des Princes with the Girondins, Jean-Louis Gasset showed all his support for his German counterpart, criticized for the level of Parisian play as for his annoyance with journalists.

“At PSG you have no right to make mistakes,” said the Bordeaux coach. The slightest mistake will remain for life. “One reason why the one who was Laurent Blanc’s assistant at PSG between 2013 and 2016 said he understood the anger of the German technician in the face of criticism concerning the Parisian performance. “If PSG had not won, it would not be qualified,” he continued at a press conference. There was tremendous pressure. But there is still enormous pressure in Paris. I understand that he can get angry over a question about the content of the match when he has just won 1-0 a match he was obliged to win. He did his job. “

An observation also supported by the period when, the multiplication of matches and injuries, make, according to Gasset, the task of his counterpart even more complicated. “It’s more tiring because you have a group of 20-24 players who all want to play,” he continued. They have been playing repeatedly since this summer. Look at the number of injuries in all the clubs… I hope that Paris will come out of the hens and win in Manchester. A French club has to get there, that we are behind them. “
