"Lass is awesome. He holds the ball well, very focused. Play safe and secure. Watch him play on the pitch, as if Lass were playing both No. 5 (central defender) and No. 6 (defensive midfielder), "Tuchel has given wings to the player who has 34 caps for France .

During the PSG phase, Tuchel bravely tested Diarra in central defense. Former manager Dortmund understands the versatility of former Chelsea defender and defensive midfielder Real Madrid. But Tuchel is still surprised by the impressive performance of the 33-year-old premiership against Bayern Munich. Diarra accompanied by high center striker Sandro Wagner, competing, accurate and always in the right place. Only limited height (1m73) makes Diarra disadvantage in the air phase.

But Diarra convinced Tuchel. If he continues to play well, the former Real Madrid player will bring considerable competition to Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Kimpembe. Tuchel's original plan was to recruit a midfielder for the season ahead. But both goals Jerome Boateng and Leonardo Bonucci are hard to come by. Luckily, Tuchel has "rookie" Lassana Diarra. An addition of experience and class.

However, there was a moment when the former French midfielder could not play the ball high. Over the past two years, Diarra has fallen into the depths of his career as he claims to have lied to former Lokomotiv Moscow striker, giving him a 15-month suspended penalty and a huge penalty of 10 million euros. When Diarra landed at PSG in January of 1818 as a free agent, the French midfielder was seen as an outcast.

And indeed, Diarra is not even fit for the full 90 minutes. The former PSG coach, Unai Emery, once thought Diarra would take a lot of time to find the ultimate ball. The former Arsenal player only made 10 appearances at Ligue 1 last season, most of them against weak opponents or in the matches when PSG won the title.

And this is another Diarra. He wears a cap in friendly matches, goes to the news conference with Tuchel and is the supporter for young players. A real leader instead of a miserable image last season. "Diarra has recovered. It was not surprising that he always tried to practice. Diarra's top experience has been very helpful to us, "said Marco Verratti about his team-mates.

At the age of 33, Diarra passed the peak. But the Frenchman still meets the strict requirements of Tuchel. If played well against Arsenal, Diarra will occupy a main kick in the French Super Cup with Monaco on 4/8. Tuchel likes to have versatile players. And he will not miss the opportunity to take advantage of a Diarra that can rock almost every position in the defense and the midfield.

Referring to Arsenal, it was the team that Diarra had worn in 2007/08. At the same time, the player born in Paris is also a talented prospect of French football. Now, the 33-year-old is an exciting new discovery by new coach Thomas Tuchel.
