Hit Real Madrid, Thomas Tuchel Praises Two Players

DBasia.news –  Thomas Tuchel could not hide his excitement over Paris Saint-Germain’s victory over Real Madrid on Matchday 1 of the Champions League.

In the match at the Parc des Princes, Angel Di Maria became a PSG star. He made two of his team’s three goals against Real Madrid who were escorted by Thibaut Courtois. That’s what makes Thomas Tuchel very happy.

“This is not a surprise from Angel. He is indeed capable of appearing like this. He has an amazing left leg. That is very clear. He was very decisive for us, but against Real Madrid, he also showed a willingness to defend. He continued to run and remained close to (Juan) Bernat. We are glad he took up his responsibilities well,” explained Thomas Tuchel.

Different from Angel Di Maria, Idrissa Gueye did not score against Real Madrid. However, his appearance is very neat in damaging the opponent’s game. He interrupted the ball in midfield and frustrated the Los Blancos players.

“He is indeed the type of player we miss. He was like a machine, he never stopped running and won a duel. Against Real Madrid, he is very important,” said the former Borussia Dortmund coach. “He was able to collaborate nicely with Marquinhos and (Marco) Verratti.
