Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) has reportedly admitted that team's luck in the current season of Ligue 1 relies upon the relationship between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. Tuchel seemingly confirmed Mbapper and Mauro Icardi's presence for next match after the recent injuries. PSG will play up against FC Girondins de Bordeaux later on September 28.
Tuchel remarks on Mbappe-Neymar
Tuchel said that the relationship between the two is the key for team, they can bring team a lot of possibilities. Mbappe has been hurt for weeks, but have to be patient, and it's impossible for Kylian to play 90 minutes. We have to adapt to the situation and the opponent. We will be able to play Mbappe and Icardi in our next match.
Previously this season, fans were seen as bitter towards Neymar with cries of boos towards the player non-stop. Many fans were seen with banners after Tuchel decided that Brazilian player will be included in the team. Neymar has previously missed the team's first five matches after the rumour that he has left the club and joined Barcelona Football club
PSG's performance
Earlier in the Ligue 1 competition when Neymar was not a part of the team, fans could be seen as holding banners in the stadium demanding that player to get out of the club. Reportedly, PSG lost their last match against Stade de Reims 0-2 and the result was team's first defeat in Ligue 1 since May 2018 earlier this year.
Tuchel said that it is a good thing to play quickly after the loss. It is always hard to find a good mood after a setback - it is the challenge tomorrow against a good team from Bordeaux, to start winning again. He added that it was a lack of intensity and was a surprise for him because he made some changes to have intensity and he hates to loose, it was super hard. Team can do better next time and will improve. PSG will battle FC Girondins de Bordeaux later on September 28.
