Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 26-year-old right-sided piston, spoke to Sport TV after Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Aston Villa (video highlights PSG/Aston Villa) at the Parc des Princes in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2024-2025 (return on April 15).
Neves “This victory is not just for the eleven on the pitch.”
A great evening at the Parc ?
It’s always special and good for us to play at home, to feel the atmosphere that helps us a lot, to get the results we want, which means victories.
This victory is not just for the eleven on the pitch, but also for those who come on and those who stay on the bench, the coach, the staff and the fans in particular. So we’re very happy to have played a great game.
Are you adapting well to PSG ?
I’m very comfortable, but I know there are a lot of other people who haven’t played as much as me and are waiting to be selected. It’s a question of who plays the best and gives the most to the team. The day I don’t play, I’ll give my all, just like the others.
Neves “It’s up to us players to accept the decisions and give our best.”
Coach Luis Enrique’s philosophy ?
Every coach has his own way of looking at soccer, Roberto Martínez and Luis Enrique have their own ideas, each plays as he sees fit, with the players he feels most comfortable with and, I’m sure, each wants the best for his team.
That’s why he chooses the players he thinks will give the best response. It’s up to us, the players, to accept the decisions and give our best.
