João Neves, Paris Saint-Germain’s 20-year-old midfielder, spoke to Canal+ after Tuesday’s 0-1 win over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League 2024-2025 semi-finals (return on May 7). He spoke of this very important result, but it’s still not enough to get excited about.
Neves “we know there’s a game left.”
It’s a great performance – were you ready for it?
Yes, we were. It’s very clear to us that it’s not over, but it’s only the first half. We did our best on the pitch and I’m really happy. It’s not all party time in the dressing room yet, because we know there’s still a game to go.
Were there any doubts?
No, I don’t think so. Mentally, we know we’re a great team. We know that if we put our game together and focus on ourselves, that’s the best way to achieve our goals.
Neves: “This team is ready for anything.
Are you capable of having the ball less and suffering together without conceding too many chances?
As I said, this team is ready for anything. We can defend, we can attack, with all the players we have. It’s good to be in this situation because in every match things are different and you have to know how to suffer. That’s soccer.
