– Vitinha said that the two best teams in Europe will meet in this match. Will the result show who will be the winner?
– To find out who is the best team in the world or in Europe, you need to wait until the end of the season, see how many trophies this team wins. By now it is obvious that they are very strong. They have won their last 15 matches. We know how difficult it is, but we are ready to win.
– The match at the World Club Championship in July was intense. What does it take to dominate the game this time?
– There will be situations similar to those we saw in the USA, with the same intensity and the same game principles. In this sense, it is an interesting and motivating match for both teams.
– What is most impressive about the evolution of “Bayern”?
– If we talk about their results, they are simply incredible. It’s difficult for us to win three or four matches in a row, so 15… They deserve a lot of respect. However, at Parc des Princes, given the atmosphere our fans create at every match, we are confident we can handle the pressure.
– You don’t like to risk the form of your players. Will you take a risk with Dembele?
– No player takes any risks. And Usman is in good shape: he trained for two weeks and played in the last two matches. He will go on the field. I don’t know if it will be for a long time, but he is ready to compete.
– “Bayern” scores an average of three goals per game. How to stop them?
– If we talk about only three matches of the Champions League, then “Bayern” scored one goal less than us. So you should ask the opposing coach how they are going to stop us. Just kidding. We will need to play well and continue to improve defensively.
– What is Captain Marquinhos?
– The players choose the captain, and they will decide this issue. However, when all the players want to pay tribute to Marquinhos after the Champions League final, it shows that there is no doubt about his sportsmanship and character: he is a great person. I’m glad he’s with us and I hope he stays here for a long time.
– How would you describe this match: decisive, critical or important?
– Every match is important, but our group is so tight and difficult that we need to get as many points as possible and as soon as possible. We did that in the first three matches and we will try to continue in the same way.
– Vitinha said that details will decide the outcome of the match. Which ones do you think?
– Judging by our last meeting, the match will be very intense. Bayern will not change their style of play and neither will we, especially at home. There will be no serious differences, but everything will depend on the little things. The one who controls the danger zones best will win. “Bayern” and PSG are two teams that play with ease, let’s press on the gas; fans are in for a real treat.
– How can you be unpredictable when your opponent knows you very well?
– We have to constantly change. The goal is the same, but it needs to be achieved in different ways. That is why we talk about the importance of details. This attention to detail accompanies us throughout the year. In this sense I am sure. We must always strive for improvement, because this is a necessary condition for achieving the goal. But I am satisfied with what I see and how we are improving.
– What do you like about Senna Mayulu?
– He is a very important player for us due to his physical and technical data, as well as the ability to play in different positions. As a coach, I receive from him different options for substitutions during matches. I’m happy with what I’m seeing from him, just like the other academy players.
