First when he was asked if he intended to manage the playing time of his executives differently, in the middle of the final sprint in the championship as in the Champions League, while the 2026 World Cup starts in less than two months. “I’m PSG coach, the rest I don’t care. I’m not interested in that,” he soberly said.
