00:00Hello Kangin, this is Benjamin Cuarez for Le Parisien.
00:03You've already had four goals since the start of the season with your team,
00:06that's more than last season.
00:07How do you explain this success that you've had in terms of goals?
00:09Do you feel free?
00:10Is there a technique?
00:11Have you worked on this particular phase of the game since the start of the season?
00:20Well, I think that the start of the season was good.
00:29I've been able to improve, because in the end,
00:36as a player and as a team, we always try to win every game.
00:46I think that the start of the season was good, and so was mine.
00:51I try to improve every day and help the team.
00:55I'm happy to be able to score goals and help the team.
01:06Hello, this is Baptiste Becquart from AFP.
01:08Luis Enrique, you've been using the attack a lot lately.
01:11What qualities have you brought to this position?
01:14Well, every time I play as a number 9,
01:24the coach asks for a lot of mobility, and I think that's good.
01:31I think we create spaces, we create opportunities.
01:42I think that with that mobility and that freedom,
01:50we can achieve more goals and more opportunities.
02:02The question extends to the first one.
02:04How do you judge your evolution since the first season?
02:08Do you feel more decisive?
02:10Do you feel more connected to the team?
02:13Do you feel more decisive?
02:15How do you judge your evolution?
02:22Well, since I joined this club, I've always tried to improve.
02:28I always try to work hard to help the team, as I said before.
02:36And I think that's the most important thing.
02:39I think that all the players want to improve,
02:42we want to help the team, and I think that's what makes a team strong.
02:48And I try to improve and improve.
03:01Hello, this is Philippe Sanforge from RTL.
03:03The start of the season was very satisfying in the league,
03:06the team scored a lot of goals,
03:08and the match against Arsenal showed that the Champions League
03:13was still a level above.
03:15How was that perceived in the dressing room, in the group?
03:18Is there a question about that?
03:20Was it taken as if the team still had progress to make?
03:26Yes, in the end, I think that we can improve on many things,
03:32and I'm sure that we will improve,
03:35because I think that you can always improve in football.
03:41As a player, all the players, the coaching staff,
03:46we're all going to try to improve,
03:51so that we can win game by game.
04:02Hello, this is Julien Franc from Radio France.
04:05You've been in Paris Saint-Germain for a little over a season.
04:09What has changed in your everyday life?
04:12We know that you're very popular in South Korea,
04:16but in France, being in PSG has changed something for you.
04:32That's a difficult question for me.
04:38I don't think that much has changed for me.
04:42Ever since I was little, I've always liked football.
04:46The most important thing for me has always been my family and football.
04:53In the end, I came to a club where I think I have more pressure,
04:59because it's a very big club.
05:08As I've said before, I always try to improve,
05:13so that I can help the team and become a better footballer.
05:18I think I'll continue to be like that and focus on football.
05:25Hello, this is Ilyas Peters from E90min.
05:28You've had a lot of good performances this season,
05:30whether as a starter or as a player.
05:33How would you rate the first few months of the season,
05:36from your personal point of view?
05:44I didn't understand the question.
05:46Again.
05:51How would you rate the start of the season?
05:55Well, in the end, as I've said before,
06:03the most important thing for me is to help the team,
06:10so that the team wins, plays well and enjoys it.
06:15As I've said before,
06:19the most important thing for me is to help the team,
06:28so that the team wins.
06:30I think that's what helped me have a good start to the season,
06:39and I hope it continues like that.
06:44Hello, this is Gennady Harris from Foot National.
06:47What do you want to achieve in Paris?
06:48You've moved to several positions.
06:50In which position do you feel most comfortable?
06:58The position that I like the most is to play.
07:06In the end, all footballers want to play,
07:08wherever they are.
07:11I always give 100% wherever I play.
07:15I try to help the team, my teammates,
07:17so that the team wins.
07:19I think that's the most important thing.
07:23Hello, this is Arthur Perreault from RMC.
07:26Tomorrow you're facing PSV in the Champions League.
07:29There will be a match against Bayern Munich.
07:32Is this match tomorrow the most important for you,
07:36on which you absolutely have to take points?
07:45I think that every match with the PSG shirt is important.
07:49In the league, in the cup, in the Champions League.
07:53And this year in the Champions League,
07:56I think that every match is a final for us.
08:01More than watching the next match,
08:03I think that the important thing is to go match by match.
08:07Tomorrow's match, we'll try to give our best
08:11to get the three points.
08:16Hello, Vincent Duluc from the team.
08:18You were 22 when you arrived.
08:20Since then, the PSG has taken many young players.
08:23When you arrived, were you told that you didn't have much time
08:27to adapt, or that you had to be ready right away?
08:30Does youth have an impact on your performance in the Champions League?
08:34Your collective performance in the Champions League?
08:36Yes.
08:37In the end, I think that all footballers,
08:40when they arrive in a new country,
08:43in a new club,
08:45in the end it's different and they need adaptation.
08:49I think that the team is a team
08:54that all my teammates try to help me.
08:58I think that for the young players,
09:01it's very easy.
09:03I think it depends on the player,
09:05but for me it was easy because I integrated well with my teammates.
09:10I think that this year we are a very young squad.
09:17We try to help each other,
09:19and that's what gives us a lot of strength.
09:22I think that the team is a team that
09:27we try to help each other,
09:29and that's what gives us a lot of strength.
09:32We will continue to work hard
09:37so that this improves.
09:43Hello.
09:45How do you explain that at home you are as good in the Champions League
09:51as in the league,
09:53but that outside you have a lot of difficulties in the Champions League matches?
09:57Is it the crowd from the Parc des Princes that pushes you,
10:00or is it simply that you are more efficient at home?
10:10I think that not only for PSG,
10:15but for all teams,
10:18it has an advantage to play at home.
10:21In the end, playing with the fans,
10:24playing at home,
10:28always helps.
10:30I think that all outside matches are difficult,
10:35but as you said,
10:37playing at home has an advantage.
10:42But we will continue to work
10:45so that we can win outside matches.
10:52Hello.
10:54I have a question about your game,
10:56which is based on technique.
10:58Is this something that you have been working on since you were a child,
11:01or is it something that you have always had from the beginning?
11:11In the end,
11:13I think that
11:16since I was a child,
11:18I wasn't a very physical player.
11:20I wasn't a player
11:22who had a lot of strength
11:24or a lot of speed.
11:26Since I was a child,
11:31I had to look for my style.
11:33I think that
11:35being a more technical player
11:40helped me.
11:43In the end,
11:46now that I'm in a big club,
11:48I try to improve
11:50both technically and physically
11:52to be able to help the team.
11:56Last question.
11:58Hello.
12:00You were already here last year with Bradley Barcola.
12:03We see a much more scoring Bradley,
12:05much more effective in the last gesture.
12:07Do you see him working on this aspect
12:09on a daily basis during training?
12:11Were you expecting him to become
12:13a player who scores so many goals
12:15for PSG?
12:21Yes,
12:23Brad, since he arrived in Seville,
12:25he was a great footballer.
12:29But, well,
12:31I think that
12:33in the end,
12:35more than talking about a player,
12:37I think that the most important thing
12:39is the team.
12:41Everyone works,
12:43everyone helps,
12:45everyone speaks
12:47so that the team improves,
12:49so that the team plays better,
12:51so that the team wins.
12:53I think that's the most important thing.
12:57That's what unites us,
12:59what makes us stronger.
13:17Hello.
13:29Hello.
13:31For now, in the Champions League,
13:33PSG has not been dominant
13:35with a tricky win against Girona
13:37and a defeat at Arsenal.
13:39What do you think about that?
13:47Hello.
13:51I think that the team played
13:53a very good match against Girona
13:55and it's true that
13:57we didn't compete
13:59as we expected
14:01against Arsenal,
14:03but in general,
14:05I'm satisfied with what I've seen
14:07in my team
14:09throughout the season.
14:33All the players are available,
14:35anyone who has trained today
14:37can play as a starter.
14:45Hello, I'm Adrien Chantreau,
14:47I'm from Paris.
14:49Bradley Barcola has scored seven goals
14:51since the start of the season.
14:53Is that a point on which you
14:55insisted at the start of the season,
14:57that he tries his luck more
14:59in front of goal,
15:01to be more effective?
15:03We work like
15:05any other staff
15:07of any other team in the world.
15:09Offensive and defensive concepts
15:11and what is really important
15:13is not who scores the goals
15:15or who assists,
15:17but that there is
15:19a global mentality
15:21to be a better team
15:23in attack and defense.
15:25In the end, the one who scores the goal
15:27or the one who assists
15:29is the icing on the cake,
15:31it's the collective work
15:33of all the players.
15:35That's what we're looking for as a team.
15:37I think the numbers show
15:39that we still have a chance
15:41to improve, but they're good numbers.
15:47Hello coach, Arthur Perrault, RMC.
15:49Tomorrow you face PSV Eindhoven,
15:51the next posters
15:53of this Champions League
15:55will be Atletico or Bayern Munich.
15:57Is this match
15:59the most important one
16:01of the league phase?
16:05The next match
16:07is always the most important
16:09because it's the only one you can control
16:11and because it's obvious
16:13that with the current
16:15Champions League format
16:17every home match
16:19is even more important.
16:23But it's also the case for PSV
16:25so
16:27this great competition
16:29and as the days go by
16:31will imply the need
16:33for all of us to score.
16:35But it's true, we face the match
16:37with a lot of motivation
16:39and optimism to try
16:41to win the three points.
16:45Hello coach, Ilias Piters for 90.000.
16:47Since the start of the season
16:49every opponent you've met
16:51is unanimous to say that you're better
16:53than last season.
16:55You claim to be one of the best teams in Europe.
16:57Do you share
16:59this opinion with your opponents?
17:07It doesn't matter
17:09if I agree or not.
17:11It's an honour for us
17:13that our rivals say
17:15that we're one of the best teams in Europe.
17:17It's obvious that our goal
17:19is to fight for all the trophies
17:21and of course we like
17:23our rivals to praise us.
17:25But in the end
17:27we have to think about
17:29the difficulty of this competition
17:31and focus on improving.
17:33We'll see if the team has improved
17:35when the season is over.
17:41Hello, Vincent Duluc for the team.
17:43Looking at the average age
17:45of the teams that have won the Champions League
17:47we can see that your average age
17:49is very close to that of Ajax in 1995.
17:51Does this mean that
17:53the players need to improve
17:55very quickly or that you need
17:57to have a bit of time?
18:01I think that our team
18:03was young last season.
18:05It's still young this season
18:07but it's young with experience.
18:09Most of the players that we have
18:11already have experience in their national team.
18:13Most of them
18:15have already competed
18:17in major competitions
18:19with more experience.
18:21I don't know how old
18:23Ajax were in 1995.
18:25They were very young.
18:27I repeat,
18:29when you plan a season
18:31there are a lot of players
18:33that you can't sign
18:35because it costs a lot of money
18:37and you don't have to overpay
18:39or because the clubs don't sign them.
18:41And we,
18:43in the face of that impossibility
18:45we try to do
18:47our best to sign
18:49the best players
18:51that are young because it's easier
18:53to sign the young ones than the veterans
18:55and it costs less money
18:57and the possibility of having
18:59a more complete squad every year
19:01that can aspire to all the titles.
19:03We did that last year
19:05and we try to do it this year.
19:11What do you think about
19:13the evolution of the club
19:15and what do you like
19:17about him on the pitch
19:19and in terms of mentality and personality?
19:23Kangin is one of those players
19:25that arrived last season
19:27from Mallorca
19:29and I think
19:31he has reinforced
19:33all the impression we had about him.
19:35A high level player,
19:37already international many times with his national team,
19:39a player of great quality,
19:41with the ability to work,
19:43with the ability to score,
19:45to assist,
19:47versatility, he can play in many positions.
19:49Like Kangin,
19:51there are more young players than last year
19:53that are still young
19:55but have the level to compete in PSG.
20:01Hello,
20:03Philippe Sanforge for RTL.
20:05The specificity of this new Champions League
20:07is that there are more matches
20:09and the opponents
20:11that we have already played against.
20:13Is it more difficult
20:15to prepare the matches,
20:17to evaluate the qualities of the opponents
20:19and how do you place the PSG
20:21in terms of level
20:23compared to the two teams
20:25that you have already played,
20:27Arsenal and Girona?
20:31Difficult.
20:33Difficult what is their level.
20:35One thing is that I could guess
20:37what is their general level
20:39but it also has to do
20:41with whether you play at home or away.
20:43It changes completely,
20:45the atmosphere changes,
20:47the refereeing changes,
20:49many situations change.
20:51It is difficult.
20:53It is true that it is a high-level opponent,
20:55there is no doubt that in their league
20:57they win the league very easily
20:59since last year with spectacular numbers
21:01and that they have potential
21:03to compete.
21:05Surely it will present complications
21:07and it will be very difficult.
21:13What type of match
21:15should we expect tomorrow
21:17against PSG, a team undefeated in the league
21:19but facing difficulties in the Champions League?
21:25I think it will be a match
21:27similar to that of Strasbourg,
21:29that is, an uncomfortable match for us
21:31because of how they play,
21:33how they defend.
21:35They are aggressive, they press very well,
21:37they score goals.
21:39In fact, the two goals they scored in the Champions League
21:41were scored in high pressure.
21:43They are a daring team
21:45with the ball,
21:47they play well,
21:49they have the resource of the long ball
21:51but they also have quality
21:53with their ends,
21:55with the possibility of associative play.
21:57A team that plays very well,
21:59that knows how to play with the ball
22:01and that knows how to defend without it.
22:03It is obvious that the result will also condition
22:05what type of PSG we will see,
22:07whether one more aggressive
22:09or one less.
22:29In football, the aspects of improvement
22:31are the same in all matches.
22:33The day you win 5-0,
22:35there are aspects of improvement,
22:37the day you lose, of course.
22:39But I repeat,
22:41where you see doubts,
22:43I see the growth of the team,
22:45I see potential,
22:47I see optimism,
22:49I see what my team transmits
22:51and of course, many aspects of improvement.
22:53I think the team has to improve a lot
22:55but I am also very optimistic
22:57about what I see.
22:59I like how we started this season.
23:01There is no doubt that
23:03the Champions League is a very difficult competition
23:05and that adverse results
23:07will appear in this competition
23:09but tomorrow is a home game
23:11with our fans
23:13again in the Parque de los Príncipes
23:15and with the desire
23:17to achieve a positive result.
23:29What do you think of Hakimi's start to the season?
23:31It seems like he is a player who is improving.
23:39Honestly, I think he is
23:41very similar to last season.
23:43I think he is even
23:45a little
23:47a little
23:49better in the defensive aspect.
23:51I think he is more focused and more efficient
23:53but
23:55Hakimi is a player of the highest level.
23:57He is another one of those young players
23:59with experience
24:01that serves as a reference
24:03for his teammates.
24:05I see him
24:07even more mature
24:09and I like that because I think he is a player
24:11that has to keep growing.
24:19Hello,
24:21Luis Enrique.
24:23What do you think
24:25of PSV's new coach, Peter Bosz?
24:27You have collaborated
24:29with Louis van Gaal
24:31and Frank Rijkaard in Barcelona
24:33as a Dutch coach.
24:35Do you like
24:37the philosophy
24:39of Dutch football?
24:43Without a doubt. Van Gaal was one of my teachers
24:45and I was lucky
24:47to have him in my time in Barcelona.
24:49I was present
24:51in both Van Gaal's times.
24:53Clearly,
24:55a Dutch school
24:57that plays football well
24:59like PSV.
25:01They clearly know
25:03what they have to do with the ball
25:05and with different resources.
25:07They not only play as an association
25:09but also as a number 9
25:11and as a reference.
25:13A well-worked team
25:15that is very dangerous
25:17defensively because they are aggressive
25:19in the pressure and they dare to press high.
25:21It's a Dutch style
25:23that is recognizable
25:25and we like it
25:27as a Barça style.
25:29It's a very good team.
25:37Hello, Achille H for BRFM.
25:39In the Champions League,
25:41matches are played on details.
25:43Since the start of the season,
25:45your team has scored
25:47a lot of goals.
25:49Following the question
25:51of our opponent,
25:53your opponent is a team that plays well with the ball.
25:55How do you avoid
25:57conceding chances and goals?
26:01Well, I don't think
26:03we concede a lot of goals.
26:05I don't know if the question is well formulated
26:07but our ratio of goals scored
26:09to goals conceded
26:11is a positive ratio
26:13and it's obvious that we can improve.
26:15I always consider myself
26:17as a very unconformist person
26:19and I think that everything
26:21can be improved
26:23even when you are in a very positive
26:25position.
26:27I think it's obvious
26:29that tomorrow we will have to show
26:31our best defensive and offensive version
26:33to be able to overcome
26:35our opponent.
26:39Hello, coach.
26:41How do we prepare this match
26:43knowing that PSV is not
26:45one of the top 5 European teams
26:47in terms of intensity?
26:49Sometimes we see that the team
26:51doesn't have enough intensity
26:53and PSV is not one of the top 5.
26:55How do we prepare this match
26:57in terms of intensity and energy?
27:01I think that the Champions League
