We have a lot of problems with the offensive players, some are injured, others only come back from injury like Matias Fernandez-Pardo or Rémy (Cabella). I liked the entrance full of Ethan's cheek to Paris in a context where it was not easy for him. »»

“I find that he did a rather very interesting hour”

And Bruno Genesio to explain his tactical idea with the tenure of Kylian's little brother: ” I wanted to have on this side with Thomas (miller) of percussion and speed because we wanted to exploit this depth and the spaces in the back of the defense. I find that he did an hour rather very interesting. »»
