Mauricio Pochettino is not really used to being unhappy with the press. Once is not customary, on the eve of this PSG-OL (to follow live commented on our site) which will be a new life-size test after the failed one in the Champions League this week in Bruges, the Parisian coach has moaned for good reason: the South American qualifying schedule for the 2022 World Cup, the problem of which we exposed on Friday.

The previous international truce had already caused some concerns to the Parisian staff, deprived of his Brazilians (except Marquinhos returned earlier) and his Argentines during the reception of Clermont. The latter had played the day before on their continent but this time it's even worse. La Selecao and Albiceleste will play on October 15, respectively against Uruguay and Peru. But the same day a few thousand kilometers away, PSG will host Angers at the Parc de Princes ... An ubiquitous situation.

A problem that does not help Pochettino at all, already facing a lot of physical problems in his locker room. "We're going to try to make good use of the workforce while maintaining a balance. For the players we will see with the playing time, in addition there is a new international truce which arrives in a few weeks. The South Americans will leave and will play at the same time as us against Angers. We see a moment of madness but you have to adapt to it. It is necessary to spare the playing time to have good performances and not to take risks for their health. "
