“When we all play together, it’s very beautiful to see”, savors Marquinhos

Marquinhos (defender and captain of PSG, after the 7-2 card against Maccabi Haifa) : «It was a very nice evening. It was a decisive match for qualification, we knew that, we had talked about it before the match. That’s why we started out being really very determined. The result is there. When we all play together and simple, it’s very beautiful to see. We had a great game. As a defender, I can’t forget the two goals conceded, two goals that we could have avoided. This is what needs to be worked on because the big deadlines ahead of us will be played out in the details.

The MNM and the new system? It worked very well. It’s good to have several cards up our sleeve so that we can change even mid-match if things aren’t going well. Today it went very well. The three scored, they had a great game and were decisive. When they’re like that, it’s very difficult for the opponents… As far as I’m concerned, I’m more used to (the four-man defense). It’s easier for me, but we know you have to have the intelligence to have several options up your sleeve. Maybe in some matches the three-man defense will work better. There, it worked very well with four. We are a great team, with great players, you have to know how to adapt to everything. The first place to validate? Yes, nothing is done for that. We will face a team from Turin which will complicate our task, even if they can no longer qualify (Juve can still aim for C3, editor’s note). These are high level matches, it will also serve us for the future.“(at the microphone of Canal +)
