Was PSG scared this evening?
” Fear ? Very scared, even. Metz played very well, especially in the second half. They pressed until the last minute. When you put four or five attackers together and you have to make changes out of necessity, you lack midfield in the game and it becomes difficult. We lost balance and control of the match in the second part of the second half. »
Quentin Ndjantou
« Quentinit was the surprise of the season, he has the qualities to make deep calls, with and without the ball. He is a player who starts from the second line, he is interesting as a midfielder but also as an attacker. »
Mbaye galvanized by his selection for the CAN with Senegal?
« When you give players so many opportunities, it’s because you believe in them. Today he showed a little more than he usually shows. He was more liberated, felt more comfortable and did good actions, both with and without the ball. I’m very happy, there is still one match for him before he leaves for the CAN. And when he returns, we are ready to give him continuity in playing time. »
How does Désiré Doué feel?
« GOOD. I’m very happy, he scored a goal. We continue in our return process. There is a difference between recovering from an injury and being 100%. He has not yet regained his full physical condition, but today he took a step forward. It’s the last championship match in 2025, we’re happy for the supporters. »
Surprised by Metz’s performance?
« I think we controlled the match at the start. Every time we scored or had the opportunity to do so, they scored. It was difficult because we lost control in the last part of the match. »
Warren Zaire-Emery
« Very positive, he showed all his ability to play in different positions. At the moment, in the absence d’Hakimi, we need a player with these technical and physical abilities. He continues to have good matches, he is very balanced, I am very satisfied with his performance. It’s a real pleasure to have a player like Zaire-Emery. »
Flamengo as opponent in the Intercontinental Cup final
« We know all their qualities, since we saw them play this summer at the Club World Cup. It will be very difficult, they play very good football, have experience. The last time I was in this match there were a lot of differences. There, it will be different, we will play one of the best teams in the world. It will be difficult, but it is a motivation, because it is an opportunity for the
