“What about him again…”
« What can I say about him once again… It’s not easy. He is on the continuity of what he did in Qatar, in this World Cup. He had very few days off. To have been at the end of the competition with this exceptional course – despite the sadness and disappointment of not having won this trophy – and the few days of recovery that he had allowed him to be on the pace. Since his return and the lost final, he was keen to play the two matches that were before us (Strasbourg and Lens). He wanted to play them to win them and he showed it tonight. He was the trigger for this victory when the meeting was badly embarked at one point. Through his selflessness and determination, he was able to train the whole team and we were able to win in the last minutes of the game. “, assures the coach of the PSG at a press conference.
“He did not tremble and was decisive”
« If I’m not mistaken, there were penalties in all matches today. That’s it ? (Except Nantes-Troyes, 0-0) So there was going to be one tonight. It was better that he was for us and at that moment of the match, to allow us to win. Regarding Kylian, he has an ability to concentrate and a very strong personality. Even if there was fatigue, he presented himself directly since he has been designated penalty taker since the start of the season. He did not shake and was decisive. He had scored three in the final (of the World Cup, against Argentina), so there was no reason for him to miss it tonight », added Christophe Galtier.
