Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the 3-2 defeat away at Liverpool to open Champions League Group C prompted him to make changes.
The German tactician saw his team come from 2-0 down to be level at 2-2 until a last-gasp Roberto Firmino winner, but the Ligue 1 giants have reacted strongly after the loss.
A 6-1 mauling of Red Star Belgrade followed in Europe and Tuchel stressed the importance of PSG being at their best in the next few weeks.
“We have changed many things in the way we play since losing to Liverpool,” said the former Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05 boss. “Sometimes, it is good to lose — you learn.
“Nobody likes to lose but it was an experience. We needed to improve ourselves. We are now more structured in attack, there is greater intensity and we must keep going like this.
“We play Napoli twice, Marseille, Lille and Monaco over the next few weeks — we need to be at our best.”
Wednesday’s meeting between PSG and Napoli will pit Tuchel against legendary coach and former Parisiens boss Carlo Ancelotti — somebody who has inspired the 45-year-old German.
“Carlo was a great player for Milan,” Tuchel said. “As coach, he led an extraordinary Milan side — very attacking. Watching his teams has always been inspiring.”
Former Napoli man Edinson Cavani is currently struggling in front of goal and Tuchel admitted that the Uruguay international was disappointed with the outcome of recent Ligue 1 outings against Lyon and Amiens.
