After the complicated victory of his team against Leipzig (3-2), Mauricio Pochettino did not hide from RMC that his team had progress to make, especially in the phases of possession with the ball.
We still have an incredible Kylian Mbappé tonight. Did he save a PSG who for a moment seemed badly off against a good Leipzig?
“I think we started the game well, scoring. We had a difficult time against a team that still scored three goals on Manchester City (3-6 loss). A team capable of creating chances in circumstances different from City. I think the team showed character, fought hard, and showed organization to be able to attack the match well, hold out and demonstrate all the talent that we have. I am sure that we will continue to progress over time on this, I have no doubts. “
We don’t see it that much in Ligue 1, but are PSG a good counterattack team?
“I think Kylian’s characteristics are perfect for playing in transition. By adding Leo, with the quality he has, especially in his passes. We also have strong players on the sides with Hakimi, Mendes, to attack space. So, yes, we can play that way. It is also necessary to master and that we progress in the game of possession, in the opposing camp, but hey, it takes time. “
Leipzig have lost their first three games, is this team already eliminated from the Champions League group stage in your opinion?
“I think it’s going to be difficult… Teams playing without pressure, liberated, can also play very well. It is a team with quality, which has young players and a solid organization. They can also hurt us on their lawns. “
