Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 against Bayern Munich (video highlights PSG/Bayern Munich) this Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup. After the match, Parisian midfielder/forward Désiré Doué spoke to DAZN for the second time.
Doué: “If it’s not through goals, it’s through effort.”
Did you have to win this match?
Yes, it’s a quarter-final, it was very important for us. These are always very tough matches, and to reach the semi-finals, we had to beat Bayern Munich today, and we’re very happy.
How does it feel to be impacted by this kind of match?
It’s very, very important for me to help the team, and in the last few matches, I haven’t scored, and I’ve tried to contribute my best to the team every time. If it’s not through goals, it’s through effort, defensive effort, running, passing. I like to create danger. Today, I scored, I’m helping the team; that’s also my role as a striker.
Gifted “The coach makes his choices”
How do you see your future? Will you have to settle in a position?
The coach makes his choices. If he decides to put me at number nine, I’ll play number nine. If he decides I play on the right or left, it’s his decision. We have to adapt on the pitch, and I know I can play in any position. As long as I’m on the pitch, I’m very happy. My goal is to contribute to the team and perform as well as possible, like in this kind of match, for example, to score and help the team win.
