Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (president of PSG, after the draw for the C1 group stage): “It’s difficult for us, but for the others too! It’s difficult, but that’s what we want, what we like. It is the best club competition in the world. The players, the coach, like to play the big matches. I always see the positive. It will force everyone, our players, the staff, the club, the supporters, to be ready for this group. It means that we need to work even harder, to be very professional and to give our all. This draw will force everyone to be ready yesterday, not tomorrow (smile), to be professional, to give, to work. Since the start of the season, we feel that there is something different, with an attacking style of play, what we like, what the supporters like, you too in the media. We are happy with the start of the season. Over the three championship matches, we feel that we are on the right path. It’s still only the start of the season. We still want to improve on the tactical, physical and technical aspects…
There is motivation and ambition in everyone, the players, the club, the supporters. We are an ambitious club, we have to work and take the matches one after the other, the stages one after the other. There is still a lot of work, a lot to give, but we are very happy to play six great matches against great clubs. It’s good news for us, to be ready and play attacking matches, it’s wonderful.
