PSG star Angel di Maria says coach Thomas Tuchel and Arsenal boss Unai Emery are very different.

Emery worked with Di Maria at PSG for two seasons before being and axed and leaving for the Gunners.

The Argentine told Canal Football Club: "Tuchel and Emery? These are two very different people. Tuchel is very close to his players, he likes to joke with us, he's always laughing, and I think it's important for the team.

"I've had a lot of coaches, and I think those who are the most similar are (Carlo) Ancelotti and him. They are both close to the players, they give us everything, and I think it's important. If I like it? Yes, it's much better, the coach is relaxed, we know that when we have to train, we train, but when the training ends, we relax, we laugh ... It's very important to the whole team."
