Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has said his bags are always packed amid speculation that his position could be under threat. I have my bags packed, RMC quoted him as saying. In this job, you have to have them like that all the time. We know what this job is. Sometimes, you dont even have time to unpack your cases before you need them again. They are always ready in the garage. Blancs PSG squad has been boosted by the arrivals of David Luiz and Serge Aurier, and on Friday he takes the players on tour Asia ahead of their meeting with Coupe de France winners Guingamp in the Trophee des Champions in Beijing on Aug. 2. While a number of the squads World Cup participants have returned, Luiz and Brazil colleague Thiago Silva, likely to form Blancs first-choice defensive partnership next season, remain on leave. World Cup hosts Brazil were hammered 7-1 in the semifinals by Germany and then lost the third-place playoff 3-0 to Netherlands, but Blanc warned Silva and Luiz that they could not feel sorry for themselves. They failed to achieve their objective, but you have to move on, he said. In life, you dont achieve all your objectives. You cant do anything now -- the World Cup is over. Youre disappointed, but you move on. This is when you have to be strong and set yourself new goals with your club, which can serve as a breath of fresh air. Great players are able to do that. It can be an additional source of motivation.
