The Portuguese coach also made a prediction for the future of the Frenchman.
“I think that Alexis will leave the club, but he will not be able to get into the first team. We will see how the team will develop, but it is quite possible that we will see a new signing of the club in the summer. It is always difficult to predict the future, but I think that we can count on the fact that we have a good team, and we will be able, in the long run, to achieve good results.”
(L’Equipe)
The Portuguese coach is quite confident about the future development of the team, but is also aware of the fact, that the club needs to strengthen the positions of the forwards.
“We have a number of players who can be used in the attack, but we need to strengthen them. We have to do this, because we have not been able to do it for a long time. We need to get rid of the bad moments, because the team is not performing well.“
– said the coach of the Parisians, who are in the Champions League for the first time in a long while.
It is worth noting that the team has not been in the top 4 for a year and a half, so the coach has to improve the results of his players.
The team will play in the Europa League for a second time in the season, so it will be interesting to see what the team can achieve.
UEFA Champions League
The season of the Champions league is in full swing. The first matches of the new season have already shown that the competition is very intense. The main favorites are:

Many people expected that the new champions would be able not only to show their best game, but also to be able win the tournament. However, the team of Josep Guardiola has not managed to achieve this yet.
In the first rounds, the Catalans were the best team in the group stage, but they lost in the playoff round. The team of Unai Emery has a good chance of getting into the next stage of the tournament, but the main favorite of the season is Bayern. The German team has a great chance of winning the tournament and will have to be at its best to do so.
Emery’s team has strengthened the positions in the lineup of the leaders. The club has managed to get a number 1 and 2 forward, as well as a number 3 midfielder. The latter is a real surprise, because he has already been in good shape for a few years.
However, the main star of the German team is the goalkeeper of the Munich team, Robert Lewandowski. The Polish goalkeeper is able to save the ball in the most difficult situations, and this is the main advantage of his position.
It is worth mentioning that the goalkeeper is not the only player of the Bayern team who has improved significantly. The following players have also shown a good game:
1. Julian Brandt;
2. Cristiano Ronaldo;
3. Thomas Müller;
4. Mats Hummels;
5. Niko Kovac.
