Paris
Saint-Germain manager and french legend Laurent Blanc said his mandate is not to make players
like Edinson Cavani feel comfortable, but to help the French champions
win matches.
"I'm not here to make him feel comfortable," Blanc told a news conference on Monday. "I'm here to win matches.
"I put him in a central position with Ibra and I said that Lucas could play behind them. At half-time I saw that it wasn't working and I went back to a three-man attack. Sometimes it's simple -- you don't have to look too far."
But Blanc also rejected the suggestion that there was any particular issue with Cavani, pointing out that he was one of four outfield players who had played the most minutes this season.
"To listen to you, there are always problems with Cavani since he's been at PSG," Blanc told reporters. "I'm in a good position to know.
"If there's someone who's defended him well, it's me... take a look over the whole season. Cavani has played 80 percent of the games."
