Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 26-year-old full-back, spoke to Sky Sport Italia on Wednesday ahead of the Champions League final against Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena on May 31.
Hakimi “I’m calm, I try to do what I do every day without changing anything”.
“I’m calm, I try to do what I do every day without changing anything. In 2018, I won a Champions League but I was young, now I’m more experienced and calmer.
Hakimi “Dumfries is very good in the air”.
Dumfries very often decisive, something to take from him?
Scoring in a five-man defense is easier, but now I’m in a four-man defense and it’s different. He’s an excellent player, Dumfries is very good in the air. If I could steal anything from him, it would be headers.”
Experience is gained by playing such matches. In fact, Hakimi is one of our most experienced players. He’s always in the right frame of mind and, according to many, he’s even the number 1 in his position. To validate all this, there remains that match in the Champions League final which could well change the face of soccer.
Luis Enrique has given Hakimi a place of choice in his starting 11, and the Moroccan will need to be at his very best to shine. 90 minutes is short and long at the same time. Don’t get any ideas, it’s in the big games that the great teams (and the great players) reveal themselves. We’ll be there on the 31st to follow this final journey of a Parisian team ready to give it their all to finally win back a European Cup.
