I prepare all the games and I can tell you that Lyon is one of the very good teams, for example. "They have a lot of quality players. [Nabil] Fekir play with France, [Alexandre] Lacazette scores a lot of goals and they can still qualify [for the knockout phase] in the Champions League. "Monaco will be in the last 16, they are having a wonderful season. Ligue 1 is an important league and I think people have to see that. In Europe French clubs are showing that the league is good. "Marco Verratti had a significant injury and the doctor said that he needs time to recover and to be at 100 per cent. His game at Arsenal was very good with a lot of intensity. "Verratti is happy in Paris, he is playing in one of the most important club in the world and he is the future of PSG."</blockquote>
