The barrage against Monaco (PSG TV)
« We are used to all situations. There
Champions League is a wonderful competition, it’s a competition that we want to win. You have to have the best calendar. These matches are hard to win, they will determine the entire competition. Normally, in a competition, it takes a tie for all teams to win. »
Lens (PSG
TV)
« They continue to show their ability to win. We have to improve outside. »
Strasbourg (PSG
TV)
« A very high level team. We drew (3-3) against them at the start of the season at Parc. It’s a very young team, with a new coach. It will be difficult but the motivation is there. »
The hierarchy of guardians
« What I can say on this subject is that I am happy to have three goalkeepers like them. I like competition at all positions. This is modern football. There are always things you can change, I’m very open. I repeat, I am very happy to have three goalkeepers with this level. »
A possible physical deficit among the players?
« No deficit. You want answers all the time but there is nothing. It’s the same fluidity. No difference. The coaches say the same thing as me, the start of the championship was different but you have to adapt. »
Can Dro Fernandez start a match?
« He has this technical and physical quality. He is very young. We have confidence in this type of player, but we have to be calm. He has just arrived. We are calm. It’s good to trust young players, but you have to give that trust at the right time. I don’t know when the time will be. »
Pierre Sage said that Lens put pressure on PSG?
« Lens is he our main competitor for the title? It’s clear ! There is Lens and there is us. What has changed compared to last season is Lens. They are different. The rest is as usual. I like pressure. If they want to put pressure, I like that. We are used to having this type of pressure. We have to show tomorrow that we like this pressure. »
Its management of turnover
« It depends on each player, the number of minutes. Every player is different, some cannot play every three days, otherwise there is a very clear risk of injury. We analyze all of this. We are going to play the play-offs of the Champions Leagueit’s not negative, it’s important to have the number of matches you need. We do what is best for the team. »
The play-off against Monaco
« I’m very happy… It’s clear, no
? »
Strasbourg, a trap match?
« Of course. It’s always difficult outside.
Strasbourg is a young team but with a lot of quality. They have just changed coaches but they are playing very good football. I remember the draw Princes Park. It’s complicated, Strasbourg has quality. For me we are the best team in the championship but we have to show it. We must have the ability to win these matches. »
With the play-off against Monaco, any similarities with last season?
« Honestly, to make a fair comparison and to be fair, I think all teams should have the same schedule. »
Vitinha’s significant playing time
« He is very strong, but I would like to give him a little rest. But there is the calendar. Vitinha is very important to us. He’s going to play tomorrow. I would like him to be able to rest but… We have to manage each case individually. »
Lee Kang-in
« I really like talking about my players. It was important for us. He arrived at the same time as us. He lacked a little regularity to be very important. He also had injuries. He lacks a little luck but we have confidence in him. »
His style of play
« We can attack space. We know how to do it when the opponents try to press us. When they are in a low block, we know how to control the match. We have this ability to dominate every match, and that’s incredible, whether at home or away. A lot of times, I get angry at the result, when it doesn’t represent what we’re doing. I really like to attack when we have space with our attackers, but the opponents prefer to defend in a low block. Spaces depend on opponent’s defensive style. »
Are the teams a little less afraid of us?
« I’m going to do a little reflection. You think we have to win every match 3-0 or 5-0 like last season. But this is not normal, this is impossible, it was stratospheric. Expectations are higher. We want to make history, it’s not easy. At each match of
Champions Leaguewe met very high level opponents. I am optimistic. But we can’t win every match 3-0. It’s impossible, you have to know! We continue to want to write history. »
