The minutes to the youngsters: “I don’t think we’re talking about media pressure or magnitude when comparing two clubs (they ask about Tottenham). It’s a matter of philosophy, project and strategy. Also planning. In what each club wants to develop or has in mind to develop from a position for the future. When we arrived at Tottenham, we had 35 professionals in the squad, in which the five-year project was to develop, not only the players we wanted to keep, but also to find spaces for the youngsters to develop and show that they have a level for the first team, as long as the merit was there. In that I do not see that they are different things, it is a strategic question ”.

Mbappe’s top scorer: “It is clear that now the team is also focused on being able to make individual achievements, it is something natural and of course that each player will have the support they deserve. In this case, whatever Kylian needs, he will not have any problem with his teammates. support. The whole team supports him so that he achieves his goal”.

Knowledge too, things that are not perceived from the outside. That gives us experience that is also our obligation to bring our vision to the club of what has happened this year and a half in order to improve. We are doing it and we will do it in the coming weeks”.

Neymar’s level: “Of course, Ney’s talent is indisputable. A footballer who has been signed a few years ago at the club for the amount that has been signed is because we are talking about one of the best players in the world. Circumstances sometimes cause ups and downs over the years. This year he had a major injury, after a future in the Copa América. I judge his season with ups and downs like the team. Today I was talking about it with Messi. Unfortunately, we collided at one point. that moment against Madrid in which we had found the functioning of the team. We did not pass. If we had passed, we would be talking about a different season. Sometimes the line between success and failure, to call it that, is a very fine line that if you get on or if you stay standing it can give you the strength to be able to write a different story”.

Mbappé and his future: “It’s what I’m saying and it’s what I perceive. It’s what I can tell you today. It’s what I really perceive and what I feel. This football thing we don’t know what can happen. To the question I answer what I feel”.

strasbourg: “My congratulations on the season, whether or not they get into Europe. A team that we played at the beginning of the season and that really cost us a lot despite leading 3-0, they went 3-2. It is a team with a very good preparation, with very good players and a great attitude towards the competition. It will be a very difficult and close game. But I have to say that, especially throughout the season, they have grown a lot in terms of football”.
