Paris Saint-Germain lost 0-1 to Botafogo on Matchday 2 of the Club World Cup (video highlights PSG – Botafogo). On the sidelines of the match, Botafogo president John Textor spoke to DAZN.
Textor “We didn’t necessarily create many chances.”
“This win means a lot to us, we managed to take the lead at the right time. The players managed to find the right way. It was a very good performance on our part. We started with three experienced midfielders and finished with the youngest.
We didn’t necessarily create many chances, but we had a good foundation for the game. We managed to implement this strategy against the best team in the world.”
Textor “We don’t always get the chance to show our quality against European teams.”
Is this one of your greatest victories as president?
“No, South America is important in world soccer. The Libertadores final was incredible. In Europe there’s F1, soccer and tennis, but the Libertadores is South America’s Superbowl. We don’t always get the chance to show our qualities against European teams, but tonight we did it. So it’s great.”
