Senny Mayulu, the 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, stopped in the mixed zone after the 1-0 victory against Auxerre this Friday at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps, in the 19th round of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season.
Mayulu: “We’re playing well, and that’s the most important thing.”
Was it essential to win to get back on track and put pressure on Lens?
Yes, of course, it was important to win this match to get us going again before the Champions League match. It did us good. It was a fairly difficult match, but we’re happy; we managed to take the three points.
A problem with finishing?
In a season, you sometimes have setbacks. We managed to win the match, and that’s the most important thing. We work every day to win matches as easily as possible. It’s not necessarily a problem. Of course, we want to win the match.
Then, there are times when we can’t score. But we’re playing well, and that’s the most important thing. Winning, of course, is very important. It will come with time. Even if we’re going through a period where we can’t score, playing well keeps us confident.
Mayulu: “The locker room is behind me.”
Are you struggling personally?
It happens in a career to experience setbacks, but the whole locker room is behind me. We all support each other. When a player isn’t doing well, we support each other to regain our confidence. All great players have experienced setbacks.
Is it important for academy players to have a place at PSG?
Of course, as a youth player, it’s great to see other academy players break through. When you’re in the academy, you always have that desire, as a young player, to move up to the professional level. The coach is very cool about it. He trusts the youngsters. It’s a source of pride to see other academy graduates moving up, and we try to help them.
