Lucas Hernandez (PSG defender, after the 2-3 defeat against Nice): “We knew it would be a complicated match, with a lot of players who returned late from the selection. But that’s no excuse. It was up to us to do what we needed from the start of the match… It will help us for Tuesday’s match. It won’t be easy either… It’s up to us to return 100% because it’s a very important match for us. There was a great Nice team up front, who took advantage of their opportunities. Afterwards, it’s up to us to improve small things, especially defensively. It’s not possible to concede three goals at home… It hurts, a defeat at home, in front of our supporters. I hope this will serve as a lesson for Tuesday.
The automations? There were 11 recruits, a new coach, new ideas… We are adapting little by little. It’s up to us to adapt, to be aware of what the coach wants on the pitch. We try to do the maximum. There are certain automations that we do not yet have 100%, we need a little more time. But the serious things start on Tuesday, so we don’t have any more time. (…) I feel very good, I have come back very well after this big knee injury, I feel better and better. Afterwards, it was an injury that kept me off the field for eight months… I need time to really feel 100%. But my feelings are very good and I feel better and better physically and especially mentally as the matches go on. (on Amazon Prime Video)
Gonçalo Ramos (PSG striker): “They scored three goals and we scored two (smile). It’s a good team. They rushed us. They had a very good match. We could have won because we had chances. But that’s how it is… We are already focused on the next match. (his technical relationship with Mbappé and Dembélé) I feel good. We obviously need time to get to know each other and play together. We will progress. (Defeat before Dortmund) A defeat is always bad… But it no longer matters to us. We are focused on Dortmund. (not the same face of PSG as in the last matches) We tried to play our game but in certain sequences, we were not able to play as well as in previous matches. But it was a good team up front. (his performance) I have to stay the same play, work every day, and the goals will come. (comments collected in mixed zone)
Randal Kolo Muani (PSG striker): “We faced a very solid team. They are one of the few undefeated teams in the championship. They play good football, they remain compact, they managed to score three goals here… Afterwards, we must not forget that we are a new team, there have been a lot of changes. We have to give a little time to adapt, but we will continue to work so that we can all get along well together. (…) The coach wanted a little more movement and to go faster with the ball. We ran a little too much. They were in place. It was necessary to work on them more on the width. But we still had a very good game, we shouldn’t spit on it.” (on Amazon Prime Video)
