Under the eyes of Parisian supporters, the Brazilian defender logically enjoyed this special evening before sending a clear message about the club’s ambitions for the end of the season. “We have an end to the season with great goals to achieve. The championship is here, it’s green. We’re going to go get this title. The Coupe de France final is here, we’re going to go get it. And the Champions League is there too, we will also go and get it. We need you 100%, like today, with a great atmosphere. All away matches, we feel that you are there, always with us. We thank you for all the efforts you make. And we on the ground, we will give 100% to achieve our objectives”. While passing through the mixed zone, the Ile-de-France captain gave it another shot, ensuring that this was not the time to let go, while sending a strong message to his coach, Luis Enrique.
“We have two very good performances, two good results, two good matches, we must continue this momentum. We talked a lot in the locker room and we said to ourselves that we shouldn’t give up now. It’s the important moment of the season, the decisive moment. It was important to give a good answer today. This ability to perform well with different players shows the value of this team and it highlights the coach’s philosophy. Everyone is ready, everyone knows what to do. Afterwards, no matter who is on the pitch, we will try to maintain the level. That’s what makes the difference in an important season like this. My record? It’s incredible, I don’t know if I really realize it yet. I think the day I stop, retire and see my name, it’s going to be really beautiful. It is a pride and an honor. I arrived here at 19, now I’m 29, I’ve been through a lot, happy moments, difficult moments but I’ve always given 100%, I think the supporters know that. I have always respected this club, this jersey and its colors. We celebrated and now we have to go back to work because we must not relax”. The message is clear !
