This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Stade de Reims as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1 (1-1 video highlights PSG/Reims). After the match, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 23-year-old striker and new Parisian recruit, spoke to PSG TV about the result.
Kvaratskhelia “I’m happy to be playing with them”.
“I had a very good feeling, but I wanted to win. These things happen in a match. We have to keep working hard. I think the good times will come, so we have to keep working. The atmosphere was very good, thanks to the fans. I really felt they helped us a lot. I can already see that the boys are very good players and I’m happy to be playing with them. I really enjoy being out on the pitch with them. We just have to work hard and that’s all.”
The result wasn’t perfect on Saturday, but the important thing to remember is that PSG didn’t lose. Mentally, it’s very difficult to concentrate on the championship after such a fine victory in the Champions League and just before a crucial meeting with Stuttgart on Wednesday.
It was important to secure the minimum and remain unbeaten at the start of the year. PSG now have their destiny in their own hands and can book their place in the last sixteen this Wednesday. Let’s hope for a great match against this German team, who will be keen to achieve a good result at home.
