PSG won their place in the round of 16 of the Champions League this Wednesday evening, credited with a draw in Dortmund which however confined them to the second level of their group.
It is therefore the glass half full that Marquinhos commented hotly on Canal+. “ Qualifying was the second objective we had, the first was to get first place. There were opportunities, we had the feeling that we could go and get them. But still, we have to stay clear-headed, it’s important to qualify and keep this goal of the Champions League. Between now and the next stage we have to prepare, be even better because they are going to become big opponents. »
“ There are many things to improve, the finishing detail is important. We had chances in the first half, if we had them, the match would have changed a lot. The coach will analyze this, we too, talk to each other. But there is improvement in our away performance, it is very important, after Newcastle and Milan. We have to grow, work from here to the next step to be better », Continues the Brazilian defender.
And to conclude: “ There have been improvements, we want to have the ball, press high, we take risks at the back, we are often one against one. (…) This is our philosophy, the coach always says that we are far from what he wants for his team. We will grow little by little, there have been a lot of changes this year, new players who are adapting to Paris and what is around it. With training, matches, time, we will all resolve that. »
