Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 26-year-old right-sided piston, spoke to DAZN after Monday’s 0-2 win over the Seattle Sounders (video highlights Seattle Sounders/PSG) at Lumen Field as part of Matchday 3 of the 2025 World Cup. He spoke of the victory and, above all, of the immense contribution made by coach Luis Enrique.
Neves: “He gives us everything we need to have confidence.”
Are there any easy matches?
No, it was very difficult, the weather was hot and they were a good team with the ball. I think we did everything we could to win, as always. We won and I’m very happy.
What was the coach’s message?
Our coach is an incredible coach and an incredible person too. He gives us everything we need to gain confidence, and he wants us to play soccer, with the ball, and make the other team run. When we don’t have the ball, we try to get it back very quickly.
He wanted you to get the ball high up?
It doesn’t matter what team we’re up against, it’s always the same thing, that’s how we work and that’s how we’ve won all our matches.
