“PSG have not been dominant in play this season in the Champions League. How can we change this observation?
I think the team played very well against Girona (1-0). We didn’t play the way we wanted against Arsenal (0-2) but I’m happy with what I’ve seen from my team this season. Where you see doubt, I see potential, progression. There are things to improve, that’s for sure, but I’m very optimistic.
Do you see this match as the most important of the first phase of the Champions League?
The next match is always the most important because it’s the one you can control. With the current Champions League format, home matches are even more important. But for PSV too (the Dutch club has not yet won this season in C1). We all need to score points. We are going to play this match with a lot of motivation.
How do you assess the level of PSV Eindhoven?
Difficult to assess his level compared to this first phase. A home or away match, for example, changes everything. He is a very high level rival. Without a doubt. They easily dominate the Championship (9 wins in 9 matches this season) with incredible numbers (29 goals scored, 6 conceded). It’s going to be a very difficult match, like the one against Strasbourg. (4-2)which was uncomfortable. It’s a team that puts a lot of pressure in high phases. They dare with the ball. They play very well. They defend well too. The Dutch school plays very good football.
