After having formalized the hiring of the coach Pochettino with PSG on January 2 and having already had some practices with the players, until now Tuesday, the first press conference could be given, where there was no shortage of questions about the rumors of bringing Leo Messi to PSG. The questioning about Messi was very evident as he has a contract until this summer and the player has not renewed yet with FC Barcelona, due to internal problems and differences with the club.

However, Pochettino turned the question around giving thanks that fate gave him the opportunity to return to PSG, after 20 years when he was a team player, in addition to making it clear that it is a great responsibility to reach one of the biggest clubs in the world. They also asked him about Neymar and his desire to play with Messi again, so Pochettino turned the question around again by talking about the next match where he will debut this Wednesday against Saint-Étienne in the Ligue 1.

Finally, the coach made it very clear, that they are just arriving to the team and they have to start adapting, so according to his words, there will be time to talk about Messi and Neymar. About the difficulties and pression he can have managing a team with so many stars, such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, Pochettino assured that PSG is a world-class team used to work with great footballers. After leaving Tottenham, Pochettino spent 13 months without training.
