“We had the confidence and hope of victory. We still leave points after PSV. It’s all well and good, we have opportunities, we are progressing in certain things but not in efficiencyhe decides Canal+. These are big matches. Sometimes we make mistakes without being penalized in Ligue 1 but there are great players on the other side. We are penalized. This is what hurts us. It’s their strategy, they have experienced players but our plan didn’t work», Regrets the Brazilian, who continues on the offensive problems of his team.
“If we look, 4 points in 4 games, including 3 games at home…»

We have a lot of chances, we have the movement, the expected goals, we create a lot, we play in their camp but in the last pass and the finish… Especially the 2nd goal, it’s a corner for usrages Marquinhos. We are all in front, we make mistakes and we pay for it behind, they manage to counter. We need to improve this a lot. We already said it to each other in the locker room. We no longer have the right to make mistakes.» This evening, Paris is 25th and virtually eliminated.

If we have to go for the points, we will go. But the truth is, if you want to win you have to correct the details. It’s a tough competition against big teams.

We have no right to miss each other on that.» PSG will have to seek victory during their next trip to Bayern Munich on November 26.
