Paris: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Wednesday defeated Lorient 2-0 in Ligue 1. PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has defended the exclusion of Angel Di Maria in the match against Lorient, saying that the Argentine needs to re-gain his form.
He told Goal.com, "I feel like Angel has lost some things that were easy for him before, but that's how it is. We changed the structure in the last minutes against Leipzig, in Manchester, against Basaksehir here, and in Montpellier." He further added that the team was a little stronger in this structure, in 5-3-2. It's a little easier for Rafinha in this position, in the midfield, he is more decisive. But it is a decision of the moment. He said, "I'm never going to stop believing in Angel. It is in my head, it is in my heart, even if at the moment it is less easy. He tried again today but lacks that click. It is more difficult but it does not matter."
