The Parisian captain delivers his analysis after the 2-0 victory over Toulouse to win the Champions Trophy.
Marquinhos (captain of PSG, after victory in the Champions Trophy ) : «It’s always a trophy and that’s why we prepared well for this match. Even though it happened after the holidays and we didn’t have the legs, we tried to do our best. We started the match well, with chances, we pressed well. Afterwards, Toulouse (progressed) well in the match and in the second half. It’s a very important trophy, everyone is happy and we’re going to have a good week.
(Luis Enrique style) All the players are free but there is always a difference on the pitch, you have to find the spaces, the right timing, the right movement. The coach has tried to make the team grow from the start. And it grows more and more. (…) The coach insists a lot on this: everyone must go forward, but everyone must defend too. It shows in the pressing, the returns. In the second half, we let Toulouse play, they had more space. There are things to improve. But we are growing more and more. (on Achraf Hakimi’s post) With the talent he has, he can do anything! It shows on the ground. He will now play in the CAN. He wanted to leave in the best way. We are happy to have a player like that. He’s a great player, talented, he creates a lot of imbalances with one-on-one situations on the right side, he’s a very important player for us.” (on Amazon Prime Video)
