‘I Am Not Afraid Of Neymar & Mbappe’- New PSG Boss Thomas Tuchel Speaks

New Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel has said he is not afraid of coaching stars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

He said this at his official unveiling on Sunday.

Tuchel was in attendance as PSG drew 0-0 with Caen, during Unai Emery’s last match in charge.

“I say that the top players are the ones who work hardest.

“They are the easiest to handle – they know what it takes to stay at the best level. I am not afraid of star names,” the German coach told the media afterwards.

Tuchel was enthusiastic about working with Neymar, who has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid.

“I met Neymar last Sunday — it went very well.

“He is an artist, exceptional! Any artist gets treated accordingly – he is a truly exceptional player.

“I very much enjoyed our meeting and found him very friendly. We talked football and tactics. I saw a smile on his face and that is what I want to see from Neymar,” he added.
