He said: “I read something very interesting. Thomas Tuchel goes to the press conference and they ask him ‘Rabiot is training with the second team’ and Tuchel answer was ‘club decision’.
“Conclusion: Rabiot is not upset with Tuchel, Rabiot friends in the dressing room are not upset with Tuchel, the club did.
“And what 15 years ago was the manager unidirectional relationship with the players in this moment cannot be any more. You must have a structure that works with you.
“That makes the job of the manager possible.
“If you don’t have a structure that works together with you, that relation of the day-by-day, the critic, the education, the disagreement one year, two years gets more difficult.
“You need a structure to support you. There are other clubs where the manager has difficult decisions to make in his opinion for the good of the team and you don’t read one single word about being supported for that.
"And that gives the players the notion ‘Hmmmm’.”
