Tuchel slams his side after Bordeaux draw: ‘We lacked everything’
Paris Saint-Germain's boss is unhappy with his team’s second half’s performance in 2-2 draw against Bordeaux.
PSG
bottled a two-goal lead at
Monaco
last week in an away game, a 3-2 loss for the Parisian side,
Thomas Tuchel
in his post-match interview admitted his side
“did not play seriously enough" and "completely stopped playing football”
Although Ligue 1 champions were able to bounce back in their Champions League clash against
RB Leipzig
, the same performance repeated last night against
Bordeaux
.
PSG was able to turn around
Timothee Pembele’s
early goal with goals from
Neymar
and
Moise Kean
, but a disappointing second half let
Yacine Adli
score the equalizer at Parc des Princes in a match that ended as a draw.
This was not a promising preparation ahead of a vital European trip to Manchester on Wednesday.
"We can not play without effort as we did in the second half,"
Tuchel told Canal+.
"The first half was okay, we played simple.
"But we lacked the seriousness to finish this match, to kill it. We lacked determination in the area.
"We lacked everything in the second half: discipline, effort... everything. It was worse than against Monaco. We lacked effort, discipline, attitude.
"Normally I always protect my team but today I totally disagree. It is not necessary to lose points a second time like that after Monaco. We lost the second half and it is absolutely our responsibility - mine, too.
"We must see another PSG against Manchester; it is not possible to play a match of this level.
"I don't understand why we don't take our responsibilities, why we don't play more seriously."
Bordeaux was the dominating side in the second half with 14 shots, while PSG just had 5 shots.
