Back from a break, Paris Saint-Germain faced Toulouse FC (3-0 video summary here) at the Parc des Princes on the opening of the 12th day of Ligue 1. João Neves, 21-year-old Parisian midfielder, who scored a magnificent goal this Friday, has come back on this success at the microphone of PSG TV.
Neves «It’s always important to win, it brings confidence»
«I think the match was difficult but we managed to win this match. I think we played a great game with quality and that quality allowed us to win. It’s always difficult to return to the league after the international break because players have different times in the selection.
It’s always important to win, it brings confidence, but especially the way we have won tonight gives us even more confidence for the next matches.
My goal? It started with a great collective action and the most important thing was to be there to finish. It could have been another teammate, that was me, I took the ball in first intention on the super center of Hakimi and it makes goal!»
The three points from Luis Enrique’s men who managed perfectly this return of an international break never easy for the players. A 3-0 victory in the French league, allowing the club from the capital to take a 6-point lead over its second-placed team before the other matches of this 12th day. The main thing is obviously that there are no injuries.
Until the winter break, deadlines will be chained for this Parisian team, especially on a European level. And all forces will have to be brought together. With serenity, the Parisians can now look to Tuesday and this match against Bayern Munich, which promises to be decisive for its survival in this phase of groups of Champions League.
