Lucas Hernandez was recruited by Paris Saint-Germain this summer, in particular with the aim of bringing his aggressiveness to the field. This was clearly not enough on the Newcastle pitch on Wednesday evening. The French full-back scored, but his team was consumed in intensity by the English. At the microphone of Canal Plushe regretted the lack of impact of his people.
“I think we knew it wouldn’t be easy. It’s the Champions League, if we don’t set the pace, the impact on the pitch, outside, you end up with a result like that. It’s up to us to change all that from the start of the match, next time we will have to come in with more impact. We knew they were going to press high from the start. It was up to us to know how to manage the weak and strong times. It’s football, it’s the Champions League, it’s up to us to reverse this situation, already on Sunday against Rennes then in the next Champions League match”he explained, visibly marked by the scenario of the meeting.
